Chapter 190: March and the Beach
Heisei 26, Furano City, Hokkaido, Japan, this is the last week of March, and students ushered in the long-lost spring break.
March 26, early in the morning.
"Kai, it's time to get up, didn't you say today that you were going to go to the beach with Xia Cheng?" A soft girl's voice came from outside the door, it seemed that she hadn't heard a response for too long, she sighed and said, "Five minutes at most, I'll go and tell Xia Cheng to wait a little longer, do you hear?"
"Got it......"
The boy pulled open the quilt, rubbed his eyes and looked at himself in the corner mirror, still with a hint of sleepiness on his face, yawning and tidying up his messy hair.
"It's obviously the first day of spring break, ha~ It's really not going to stop. ”
Half an hour later, a girl with long silver hair came to the station with a boy with short black hair who looked slightly older than her.
"Sister, Xia Cheng doesn't seem to have come yet, so I knew that I would sleep a little longer. The boy looked left and right, and made an appointment to meet in front of the station, but when he arrived, he didn't see anyone, and he leaned on the mailbox behind him in frustration, fiddling with his phone.
"I'm already in contact with her, it's okay, it's only seven o'clock. ”
"I'd rather go to school and at least stay under the covers for now......" The boy yawned again.
"Hey, Xia Cheng?"
Before the girl could speak, an anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sakurama, my wallet is missing, obviously it was placed next to it, how could it be lost!
"Well, we're at the station, do you need help there?"
"That's all there is to it, I'm in the café around the corner from the station, damn it, I wouldn't be here if I knew it wouldn't be here. After Xia Cheng finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone, and it seemed that the departure time would be delayed.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
"Xia Cheng lost her wallet in the café, let's go find it for her. ”
"That kind of place where there are many people and people dare to put their wallets casually, it's that café, right, I just saw a girl jumping up and down in it, probably she. The boy pointed to the girl behind the clear glass of a café around the corner.
"Well, that's her. Kai, bring your luggage and remember to put your phone away. ”
"I said you, don't always speak in your mother's voice, you'll have wrinkles on your face. ”
"Where did you hear that?"
The two of them came to the café one after the other, and at a glance they saw the girl who was looking for something in front of and behind the seat, this girl was wearing a school uniform, she couldn't see the appearance of traveling at all, her brown hair was thrown along with her body, and the nearby chair was almost turned around at a hundred and eighty degrees, and the whole café was disturbed by her.
"Why is it gone! It's right here, ah—why is this happening!"
The waiter on the side approached cautiously with an embarrassed look on his face, and whispered: "That, this young lady, please don't disturb other customers, okay?" We will help you find the lost property as soon as possible, since it is lost here, even if it is missing, we will compensate you according to the price. ”
"Summer City. ”
"Sakurama, you're here, I'm sorry that this happened at such a time. Xia Cheng continued to look at the waiter and said, "Can you let me talk to the store manager?" I am going on a trip with my friends, and I really can't lose my wallet. ”
The waiter agreed to Xia Cheng's request and took her upstairs to the manager's room.
"Is that your friend?" the boy asked, sitting down where the waiter had just cleaned up.
"Well, she's a good person, though she is reckless at times. ”
"I don't deny the recklessness, the character, or a little contact to make a decision. ”
"Kai, you've been too cautious, and no one wants to be friends with you if you continue like this. ”
"Sister, you're so annoying, I'm going to buy a drink, what do you want?"
The girl shook her head and sighed: "I don't want it, you can buy whatever you want, you can't buy carbonated drinks!"
"It's really annoying. The boy sneered expressionlessly, left his seat and ran to the front desk.
After about forty minutes, Xia Cheng walked out of the manager's room dejectedly, holding some money in his hand, but the amount didn't seem to be much, and the store manager wouldn't compensate the full amount based on her words, if she wasn't in a hurry to travel, I'm afraid it would take a while to investigate before giving her an answer.
"Xia Cheng, how's it going?"
"The store manager only gave me half of the money, but it's better than nothing, Sakurama, can you lend me some money these days? I'll pay you back when you get back." Xia Cheng put the money in his pocket, which was probably enough to take care of her daily life.
"If you delay any longer, it'll be noon, sister, let's go. ”
"Xia Cheng, let's go, I'll lend you the money. ”
The trio hurried to catch a train and found a place to sit down, the journey was about two hours, hoping to get to the beach by noon.
"You're Sakurama's younger brother, aren't you?" Xia Cheng looked at the boy sitting across from him after putting his luggage away.
"Hmm. Wait, did she mention me to you?"
"Of course, Sakurama said that you are a very stubborn child, and you are very cautious in everything you do, and you ......"
"Summer City. Sakurama, who was sitting on the side, glanced at Natsujo and told her not to continue.
Xia Cheng immediately stopped talking and changed his words: "Ah, my name is Yui Xia Cheng, please advise." ”
"Yang Xiaokai. ”
"Oh, isn't it a native?" Xia Cheng was surprised, Yang Xiaokai's appearance was a typical subspecies, so it was not very easy to distinguish countries, "I always feel that your Japanese is better than Sakurama, hehe." ”
"Miss Yui Xia Cheng, eat more and keep your mouth shut, otherwise you will be disgusted if you continue like this. Sakurama forced a slightly angry smile as she shoved a piece of bread in her hand into Natsushiro's mouth.
"Uh-huh......"
"Sister, I'll sleep first, remember to call me when I get to the place. Yang Xiaokai yawned, and since getting into the car, sleepiness began to sweep through his brain, and just when he was about to fall asleep on the table, he was woken up by Sakurama.
"No, if you sleep, you won't have the salary for the month. ”
"Hey, don't be so ruthless, I'm really sleepy. When Yang Xiaokai heard this, he suddenly didn't dare to close his eyes, and sat up with his body propped up.
Two years ago, Yang Xiaokai took a job from Sakuruma in order to make a living, and this job is to be with her all the time, going to school, getting out of school, eating, and entertaining, except for the time when they go to the toilet and sleep are not together, the rest of the time is almost inseparable.
"It's just a month's salary, isn't Sakuruma three thousand dollars a month? You should have made a lot of money in two years, but I know that their business doesn't care about this little money at all. Xia Cheng held his cheeks, unable to figure out why Yang Xiaokai would work hard for a mere month's salary.
"I need money to fulfill my dreams, you won't know me. Yang Xiaokai suddenly pinched the flesh of his thigh, and his spirit immediately surged, and he almost squeezed out tears in pain.
"Kai, am I overdoing it?" Sakuruma asked, realizing her excesses, leaning closer.
"If that's my job, that's not too much. ”
Sakuruma frowned, intending to say something but not speaking.
Yang Xiaokai is a serious person, not only very cautious in dealing with people, but also has a strong and unyielding heart that ordinary people can't reach, and it is this that attracts Sakurama to keep him at home and treat him like a younger brother.
"Sakurama, it seems like it's almost here, let's get ready to get off. Xia Cheng packed his luggage and prepared to get out of the car.
"Kai, hand me the box, check to see if there's anything missing, don't lose your wallet like Xia Cheng. Sakurama glanced at Xia Cheng, and her face suddenly turned a lot blue, afraid that she remembered what she had lost again.
"Dear Traveler Friend......"
After an hour's drive by minibus, we finally arrived at the seaside hotel before noon.
After opening three rooms, several people walked into the elevator with their luggage.
"Whew...... It's finally here, Sakuruma, what are we going to do later?" asked Xia Cheng as he put his luggage on the ground and took a breath.
"Of course, we ate first, and thanks to you, Kai and I went out in the morning without eating. ”
"Didn't you eat bread on the train just now...... said as the elevator reached the corresponding floor, and there were very few people in the hotel, and I hadn't seen much since I went downstairs to check in.
"Let's go change our clothes, and meet in the hall later. Sakurama gave the room card to the two and agreed on a time.
Within ten minutes, Sakurama changed his clothes and found Yang Xiaokai, who was very leisurely lying on the windowsill of the room and looking at the sea in the distance.
"Sister, why do you come to the beach in spring? I have the impression that people usually come to the beach in the summer, right?" asked Yang Xiaokai with his back to Sakurama.
"Because there are so few people in the spring, the whole beach will be relatively empty, do you like to be crowded with people?"
"Hmph, I really don't understand your thoughts, forget it, it's a little more normal this year than last summer's feat of embezzling a lot of money to contract the beach. Really, even if you have money, you can't waste it like this. Yang Xiaokai complained.
"Alright, Xia Cheng should be waiting for us, let's go down and find her. ”
"That's what you said this morning......"
Sakuruma was speechless, not knowing how to answer his question, so she could only smile awkwardly.
The two took the elevator to the hall, and sure enough, there was no shadow of Xia Cheng here.
"I'm talking about something. Yang Xiaokai spread his hands and walked to the door of the hotel, and at the same time, several burly men pushed open the door and checked in, they had a strong aura, not like simple travelers.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Yang Xiaokai stop in front of the door, Sakuruma bypassed the men and ran over and asked.
"Nothing. ”
