People in Tokyo, the world is clear

For a moment, Sasagawa Rio admitted that she was actually a little curious.

Chapter 27 Rain and the Room

"At first glance, it seems like just a repetition of an ordinary melody."

"Yes. But, there's a saying that there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts. Just like this simple one-word song, different people will sing it differently. Hezi, do you want to try it too?"

"Well, then I'll obey your orders~Eyes, Blue..."

"Wow. It seems that using Tsuruko's female voice to chant would be more suitable for this only lyric."

"I actually think that Keiji's deep male voice is more interesting."

"It's become a mutual flattery."

"Hahaha... But, that's exactly what it is. Listeners, why don't you try it for yourself?"

"Come to think of it, I haven't heard this kind of folk music style with pure guitar accompaniment for a long time. It kind of brings back childhood memories."

"Yes, yes. I feel like the talent of composers in Tokyo is no less than that of those overseas. By the way, does Keiji know the composer of this simple and elegant piece?"

"Of course. It's said that it was a young singer. She said that her goal has always been to create a song that everyone can sing."

"It seems like she's succeeded. By the way, does she have any other works?"

"That's not clear. I hear she's a street singer who often appears around Tokyo. She also performs at Shinjuku's Walker's Paradise on Sundays... She basically sings original songs."

"amazing!"

"If you're interested in this mysterious singer, please feel free to write us and give us your feedback. If possible, we might invite her to participate in a program!"

"If you don't want to miss out on more exciting news like this, please call and subscribe to our radio station's "Music News" magazine! The contact information is..."

"We also sell it at various bookstores in Ota City! We welcome you to purchase it!"

Tonight, Ms. Qingshan, as an amateur singer, finally got the precious opportunity to show her face in just a few words.

This is probably a gratifying result.

However, it obviously stops here.

Miss Qingshan's story, in this daily program, is just an appetizer at the beginning of the program.

In the half song time after the commercial, the two radio hosts quickly adjusted their mood and changed the topic. Taking advantage of the prime time of the program, they talked about music news and the new and old hits of famous singers and divas - that was the real meal.

The road to success for underground singers is always so difficult. During this period, any opportunities that come their way seem to be very few.

Tonight was just a simple step, but Lin Sen was satisfied.

Xunzi Lao Deng said: Without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles.

The accumulated bits and pieces will eventually condense into a river.

Lin Sen, I'm very sure of this.

Because, at this moment, he tasted the power of the condensation of tiny drops of water—

"Hey! It's leaking, it's leaking!"

The first rain in June came with a rush.

The woman next to him was still sitting in the driver's seat, looking up at the water seeping down from the roof of the car.

All of a sudden, everything from his shirt to his trousers was soaked, and he became the proverbial drowned chicken.

I finally came back to my senses, listening to the sound of rain outside the window and feeling the faint vibration of water droplets hitting the car body.

His first reaction was to completely ignore the clothes that were gradually becoming see-through, and instead hold the manuscript in his hand away from the water source.

Lin Sen's eyes were torn apart.

"Don't be too kind to books at a time like this!"

He snatched the paper from her hand and searched the closet in front of him for anything he could find to hide it. A dishcloth, a seat cover...

Trying to plug the leaks was futile.

Sasagawa Rimei's head was definitely the hardest hit area. The passenger seat and back seat were not spared either.

"Where did you get this car? Not only is the sunroof leaking, but none of the places with tape are sealed!"

"It's an old car my father used to drive when he started his business. He's been driving it for years. He asked for it as part of his dowry when he was in Chiba. It's been a while since I've driven it in the rain, so I didn't expect it to be this bad."

"Don't speak so slowly at a time like this!"

Water gradually accumulated in the narrow space of the car, and slowly formed a puddle under the feet.

Lin Sen had no choice but to open the door and let some of the liquid out amid the sound of the rain.

Then, he stuck his head out, squinted his eyes, and looked around.

It was located on a remote harbor road in Daejeon, surrounded by a horrific desolation.

However, in the hazy weather of the rainy night, you can still see several residential and commercial buildings more than ten meters away.

At this moment, the door is closed in the night and the lights are on.

The intermittent rain was blown in by the wind. After opening the car door for a while, all the clothes on the outside felt wet.

I guess I can't stay in the car any longer. Water leaks when the door is closed, and rain comes in when the door is open.

Closing the car door temporarily to block the rain, Lin Sen turned his head to look at the woman beside him who was still a little confused.

"Did you bring any rain gear?"

"No."

"Fuck."

Then, there is probably only one choice.

Lin Sen took off his button-down shirt, leaving only his thin clothes.

Without hesitation, he handed the dress to the female editor.

"There seems to be a house in the back. Turn around and let's go over there to see if we can borrow a house to shelter from the rain. Hurry!"

There were no valuables in the car, so it could no longer serve as a shelter from the rain.

At this moment, the right thing to do is to run away and find someone to take refuge with.

Lin Sen was almost like the King of Jiji. However, the woman beside him seemed oblivious to the rain, just letting it pour down on her, staring blankly out the window.

There's absolutely no intention of driving.

"It's raining so hard..."

"Boom!"

The thunder is announcing that the rain will not stop tonight.

Lin Sen had no idea what was wrong with the guy next to him. At this moment, his only need was to find a dry place to rest.

So he opened the car door without hesitation, rushed out, made a small circle to pull open the door of the main driver's seat, directly covered the woman's head with his shirt, and reached out to pull her out.

Sasagawa Rio didn't resist the force and was pulled out of the car obediently, and the door was closed behind her.

However, the next second, the subsequent actions left Lin Sen stunned on the spot.

She reached out and ripped the shirt off her head, clutching it in her arms. Suddenly, she began to run... down the road, along the railing beside her?

"The shelter from the rain is in the back! Hey!"

The flamingo suddenly went crazy.

Braving the heavy rain and breathing heavily, he rushed forward for several hundred meters.

Only when he felt a heavy dampness pressing down on him did he slowly stop and squat down in the pouring rain.

Lin Sen had no choice but to chase after her and stop.

Just slip away and it's Ling

At this point, there was probably no point in rushing to pull her out of the rain - at this moment, both of them were soaked through, with no dry place on their bodies.

He suppressed his dissatisfaction and stood behind her.

Wait until she slowly stood up and turned her head.

With a dazed look in his eyes, he stood there in the rain in a daze.

After a while, his eyes regained clarity.

After taking several deep breaths, he looked at the young man in front of him who was helplessly standing with his hands on his hips.

"...sorry."

"Are you done with your nerves?"

"Yes."

Then, the lady administrator of the logistics point had her door knocked by two guests who were dripping with water.

"Ah! Editor Sasagawa! It's you!"

Unexpectedly, she actually knew a flamingo.

It was said that her niece used to work at a publishing house, and she had met him a few times when she came to visit.

This middle-aged woman possessed the aura of a simple commoner, and therefore, she treated the literary workers, whom she considered "cultured people," with a certain degree of respect.

After leading Lin Sen and Sasagawa Rimei into the first floor of the convenience store, the man took two clean towels from the shelf and handed them to them.

"So the car is leaking... Do you want to stop over?"

"Maybe I need to deal with my body first. Is there any drying equipment here?"

"No, just a towel."

"I see. I think there's an umbrella here. Can I borrow it later?"

"of course can."

Lin Sen took out his hidden wallet from his arms, paid for the towel, bought some hot drinks and food, borrowed a newspaper, and pulled the crazy woman next to him to find a corner to sit side by side.

She was in a dazed state, as if the rain had triggered a switch.

After a while, he reached out and took the cup of oden handed to him by Lin Sen.

After some hesitation, he finally spoke slowly.

"Just now, I suddenly remembered something from the past. I just... couldn't help it. Sorry."

"It reminds me of the last time you dragged me to the mall without asking."

This woman looks indifferent, elegant, and as still as a mountain.

Sometimes, they always suddenly behave abnormally.

She actually has a lot of things hidden in her heart:

"Actually, I just remembered a day ten years ago. It seems to be this season as well."

The woman wrapped her wet hair with a towel, covering the upper half of her face.

He lowered his head and curled up his rain-soaked body.

"After school, we were caught in the heaviest rain I'd ever seen. My mother was still alive then. I remember, as a child, I rode my bicycle as fast as I could back home.

"But the rain kept coming down, and the afternoon sky was dark, just like the night today."

"I was soaked to the skin. I passed a house on my bike and saw a tame puppy in the backyard, shivering in its nest."

"The specific scenes of that time are already very blurry. I just remember that my heart was beating very, very fast. I also felt an indescribable joy in my heart."

At this point, the woman raised her head, still breathing heavily as if she were there. Lin Sen could even clearly feel that at this moment, there seemed to be a faint thumping sound in her body.

That was the sound of an intense heartbeat.

"Many nights after I grew up, I thought back to that day. I envied and missed the time when I could put aside all the pain and boredom and simply enjoy the watering of such a heavy rain..."

"Just now, probably, the scene brought back memories."

"The weather is magical, isn't it? Sometimes, our mood can be stirred by it."
