[bright] time

(company side)

After getting off the Shinkansen, I went from Osaka to Tokyo and walked to the platform of the JR Yamanote Line, waiting for the [-]:[-] tram to enter the station.

This time happened to be the end of school for several nearby high schools, and there were many students in school uniforms standing on the platform.Men and women, suits, sailor suits, all kinds of uniforms dangled in front of the company, which made him frown, and his nerves tensed up.

Why do you have to come to Tokyo at this time?I'm really not a straightforward man.

Although it's not a record worth talking about, ten months of dating is the longest in my girlfriend's journey.I thought it would be longer, three years, five years, or even a lifetime. It's funny to say, but I really have made these plans.Because, she is really... a girl that I always want to cherish.When I was ten years old, I moved to next door to her house in Osaka, and she became a part of my life.always….

The official relationship is only ten months, which is really short...compared with the time we have known each other.

Why wasn't it discovered earlier?The second she smiled at me from the front door, and the moment she walked into the chess club run by her family and saw her.I talked about a lot of love that can't be called love, and I always thought I knew it well.I finally realized what true love was when she told me she was moving.

But it's too late, long-distance love, the success rate is only [-]%, and I can't be that lucky one.

Long distance, loneliness, estrangement, third party, indifference, breakup, the process is like a cheap love novel, and this relationship finally came to the last scene one month after the Beidou Cup.it's over.

Tried to save it several times, but finally chose to give up.Being too clingy will only get you to the point where you can't even be friends.I still want to keep a little bit of the bearing of breaking up and the dignity of a man.

Now, four months after the breakup, I still occasionally recall that I used to stand on this platform, waiting for her in a sea green uniform, a white shirt with a red bow tie, trotting to me and smiling at me look.Very cute,...very nostalgic,...very heartache.

I didn't know until I stood on this platform again,

My injury is still not healed...

The light indicating that the tram was about to enter the station came on, and Sha, who was leaning against the wall, began to move towards the file-like line.The stopped tram and the warning bell that was about to leave rang, and the students who had just come down the stairs began to quicken their pace to catch up.

Just when She was about to step into the car door, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a girl wearing a sea-green uniform, a white shirt tied with a red bow, and her mid-length hair in double ponytails, holding a bunch of leaflets in her hand, being rushed by people. There was a bump, and the paper was scattered all over the place.

The girl sighed, and helplessly squatted down to pick up the leaflets scattered all over the floor.

Unlike the people rushing into the tram, She stepped out of the tram and picked up a few leaflets that were relatively close to the tram, which might be swept away, and walked away from the car.At this time, the driver blew his whistle, and the tram closed the door and left quickly.

Holding the leaflet in his hand, the club went to the girl who was busy picking up those leaflets beside him, knelt down and handed it to her.

"Shito's childhood sweetheart, do you need help?"

"Huh? Mr. She!" The girl looked up, only to realize that the person talking to her turned out to be Hikari's friend She Qingchun.

When She lived in Guang's house before, Xiao Ming and She met several times on the road.And coincidentally, the ex-girlfriend of the club happened to be a student of the same school as Xiao Ming. Although they were in different classes, they had met several times on campus. Her pretty face and witty conversation made her attract all the male students in the school as soon as she transferred. gaze.

"Thank you, why are you here?" Xiao Ming took the flyer with a smile,

"Tomorrow, I, Shinto and Taya will be sent by the Kiin to be babysitters at the National Children's Go Conference. For a total of three days, I will only live in Fujina."

I heard that Shinto’s childhood sweetheart is a neighbor and female friend whom I have known since Kindergarten. She looks silly, but she seems to be quite capable. She formed a Go club at school. I heard from Li Jia that there are already [-] members in the club. It seems to be doing quite well.

She then knelt down to help Xiao Ming pick up the remaining chess records.

"These are the last."

"Thank you. She-kun is really a good person."

"Heh, although it's another good card, you're welcome."

"Xiao Qing, you are really a good person, but we are still not suitable to be lovers." These were the last words Li Jia said to me.At that time, I never thought that I would be issued a good person card one day.

"Good person card?" Xiao Ming held the big stack of leaflets, tilted his head and thought for a while,

"Ah...! I'm sorry. I seem to have accidentally stepped on your mine."

"That guy Shinto told you?"

Xiao Ming shook his head: "No."

Well, this is the last answer I want to hear.

Even she heard about my being dumped, so it must have spread throughout S High School, right?God, how can I be called like this.

Seeing the discouraged expression on She's face, Xiao Ming hurriedly used her method to comfort She and said,

"Mr. She, you don't have to worry. Rumors will only circulate for [-] days, and now it has passed. I think everyone has forgotten."

I said, Ms. Fujisaki, no one will believe this kind of lie to children now.

I followed up with Teng's childhood sweetheart and said hello several times, and today is the first time I have the opportunity to speak.Watching her follow up the conversation with the rattan, I can probably feel that she is a very natural character.No pretense, no hypocrisy, no secrets, she is a girl who can see through at a glance.This is my first impression of her.

"Don't you just remember? Shinto's childhood sweetheart."

"Me? That's right, hehe..., I'm sorry."

Xiao Ming smiled awkwardly like a man in a dream.

The second impression is that she is a girl who loves to laugh.

"Please give me another chance, I promise, I will forget it next time we meet!"

"What are you talking about? I'm not the boss of the company. Besides, it's not that easy to forget!"

"Hmm..., it's hard to say. To be honest, forgetfulness is a specialty I've never wanted to admit."

"Pfft, you're joking! Shinto's childhood sweetheart. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

Are there really such innocent girls?Originally, I just wanted to confirm this point, so I deliberately replied something that made things difficult for her. I didn't expect to get such an answer, and I didn't have any psychological preparation. Her words made me laugh out loud.

Seeing She's smile, Xiao Ming smiled in satisfaction,

"Great."

"Huh?" Puzzled by Xiao Ming's words, She glanced at Xiao Ming,

"Just now, although the corner of She-kun's mouth was smiling, her eyes were crying.

"what to do! ?Who is here to help!I stepped on a big landmine.” I was very nervous!

I kept thinking about it, and finally thought of the method of "self-deprecating" that Hikari often used.Fortunately, it is very useful.Shejun really laughed. "

The third impression is that she is a delicate and kind girl, maybe she is not stupid?

"Get it for you. Otherwise, it will be scattered all over the floor later. Shall we get off at the same stop?" Pointing to the big stack of leaflets in Xiao Ming's hand.

"Well, it's okay, I can carry it by myself, because it's a bit heavy." Xiao Ming waved his hand with a smile.

"Huh? What's the reason? Shouldn't I be the one to get it?"

With that said, she must be stupid!

It's because it's heavy that boys should pick it up, right?

"It's heavy!" Li Jia only said these three words before, when she asked me to help her with something.But this girl is different, "It's a bit heavy, so I can carry it by myself", I have never heard this kind of statement.

She drew a line from the top of her head to Xiao Ming's head, asking her to see clearly that she was much taller than her, and that she would definitely be able to take on the role of a coolie carrying heavy objects.Xiao Ming looked at the palm placed [-] centimeters above her head, and then realized how contradictory what he just said sounded to the male student.

"Yes!"

"It's good to know. All right, give it to me."

Handing the leaflet to the kind-hearted company, Xiao Ming said with a smile,

"It's really easy to talk about the gentleman, why is it...ah──...the tram is coming!" The words ended in an extremely unnatural place.

"What self-deprecation!? Forgetfulness is your specialty! Akira Fujisaki!" Chasing Xiao Ming who walked into the tram quickly, Shaya entered the compartment.

However, this is the first time the club called Xiaoming's name.

It takes [-] minutes to take the tram to reach the destination. Sitting in the car, Fujisaki and I chatted one after another.

"Fujisaki, there should be a hundred people in your club now, right?"

"Huh!? Not so many, only [-] people!"

"ㄟ!? That's all? You didn't manage well, so all the members ran away?"

"Hmm... Maybe. When it was first established, it was just a few times for free to guide, and it really attracted a lot of people at that time. After this year's Hokuto Cup, the three of you have become very famous, right? It seems to be this relationship. , There are really as many as [-] people who filled out the membership form that day! It’s unbelievable! But I can’t always ask Guang to come to the club for free guidance, he must be very busy too. After coming, the members of the club began to decrease at a speed that I couldn’t believe.”

"Ha, that's too bad. You must be disappointed, right?"

"That's good. Because the remaining seven are all people who are really interested in Go! I feel relieved."

"Oh? As expected of the president, you said something great!"

Riding a train with a girl I don't know well is difficult for me, and I always feel that the responsibility of finding a topic falls on the boy.In order to avoid the embarrassment of neither of them talking, they can only talk about meaningless topics.But today, I don't feel that helpless feeling at all.

Chatting with Akira Fujisaki feels very comfortable.

As if infected by her amnesia, she can forget many unpleasant things.

This [-]-minute journey is a little too short.

***

I heard from Jinto that he moved out of the house two or three months ago.

Now I rented a small apartment outside, and I heard from him that it was introduced by a certain construction business grandfather who would go to play chess every week.Like his family, they all get off at ○○ station, but it happens to be in the opposite direction.After breaking up with Liga, this was the first time I went to Beijing, and I hadn't been to Shinto's new home yet.

On the tram I sent the guy an email and told him I was almost at the station and told him to come out and show me the way.I didn't know that the stupid guy actually only returned me a string of addresses and the location of the keys.What is clear is that I, a native of Osaka, need to fend for myself in Tokyo.

Fortunately, I met Fujisaki at the station, otherwise I would not be able to find my way around in the middle of the night.Along the way, the road was winding east and west, and the road was extremely complicated. If I could find a place, I would chop off my head and let him sit on the bench.

that idiot.

After knowing the location, I sent Fujisaki back.After all, her big stack of leaflets is really full, and of course, she gave me a good person card with her completely harmless smile.

"She Jun is really a good person, thank you!"

Forget it, anyway, I was quite happy to accept the card she issued. This is the first time I have met such a silly girl.

Shindo lives on the seventh floor of this eleven-story apartment with off-white tiles.I took the elevator to the seventh floor, found Room [-], and looked at the house number, which said Jindo.That's right.

She turned her head left and right to make sure that no one was there, reached out and touched the upper door frame, found a key, opened the door and entered.

Although Guang's apartment is not big, it is more than enough for one person to live in.There is a washroom, a bathroom and simple kitchen equipment. The six-fold room is connected to the balcony outside, and the curtains are opened to extend the view to the outside. It feels quite spacious.

After dragging the shoes in the hallway, there is a double-door refrigerator on the left hand side of the house. There is a microwave oven on the refrigerator, and a gas stove and a small countertop next to it.It took about 15 minutes to walk here from the station, and it took 10 minutes to walk to Xiao Ming's house and back again. She is already very thirsty.Open the refrigerator, looking for something to drink.

Burdock, green pepper, carrot..., huh?It looks like it's cooking, I thought the kitchen was just a nice display.Ah, anyway, it must be the girlfriend who will come to cook, hum, happy guy, I admire you ass.

Others..., when I saw something, Sha's eyes lit up──,

"Oh! This guy Shindo is really not a good boy, carbonated wine!! Then I will not be polite!"

Ignoring the barley tea, milk, and sports drinks in the refrigerator, the club took away the only can of orange-flavored [-]% alcohol carbonated wine in the refrigerator, opened the tab with a very habitual movement, took a big gulp, and then vomited contentedly. take a breath,

"Ha ─ ─! Excellent boy, let others do it! When you are thirsty, this is the best thing to quench your thirst! Shinto is also an expert!"

Go through the corridor to the end, open the door and you will find a room with a size of six posts.Inside was a single bed, a bookcase, and a wardrobe. On the floor was a lime green two-piece rug. On the rug was a glass table. In front of the table was a low cabinet with [-]-inch LCD TV.The chessboard brought from home is placed directly on the wooden floor, the closest to the balcony, where you can see the moon when you look up, and there are still half-lined chess records on it.

"Pieces are confiscated too. It's sloppy."

She threw the luggage aside, leaned against the edge of the bed on the carpet and turned on the TV, drank wine, and flipped through the weekly magazine on the table in every possible way.
