CHAPTER XXXVI

The first year of New Year, we spent it on Mackinac Island.

Unlike Niel, Kyoto people only celebrate the New Year on the Gregorian calendar, and the first day of the first month is the New Year. The New Year means a holiday, and I am about to enter the second year of university on spring break, and Yuichi Fujisawa, who owns a large consortium, is also on vacation.

On the night of the year-end year, Yuichi Fujisawa and I opened a bottle of red wine that was some years old. He arranged for someone to bring the gramophone from Qinghe Mountain, and we shook it slowly, hugging and dancing in the living room.

When the bottle of red wine began to drink, I didn't feel anything, but the stamina was not small, and Yuichi Fujisawa played a fast-paced tune, and we danced so carried away that we didn't know who stepped on whose foot first, and one was unsteady, and both fell towards the ground behind me.

Yu Fujisawa turned over one by one and made a human flesh pad under me. That soft, white wool carpet housed the two of us drunks.

I lay on top of him, dazed, thinking that this luxury item that cost me a month's salary was really worth it.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"I'm fine. What about you? I drunkenly stroked his legs, "Is it overwhelming your legs?" ”

"It's okay...... Well, ma'am, it's not this leg. He took my hand and put it on his other leg, "Are you drunk?" That's it. ”

I shook my head and firmly believed in myself: "No, it's the left leg, so I can't be mistaken." I got up from him, stepped back to his lap and pulled at the leg of his suit pants.

"Good, good." He stopped me, "I confess, I was kidding you." ”

I let my hand be held in his palm, closed my eyes, changed positions, and rested on his lap.

"Susu?" His palms rubbed my hair, "Drunk? ”

I was a little drunk, and I wouldn't have said something like, "Now, you've never told me about your legs." ”

He ran my hair through my hair, and his movements did not stop at all: "You didn't ask me either. ”

With the strength of the wine, I hugged his leg sideways and whispered, "Now I asked." ”

"One year, I fell off my horse."

I opened my eyes and met him with his head down, his dark and deep eyes, looking at me with a smile on his face.

"Tease me again?" I say.

"Nothing." He chuckled lowly, "That was a long time ago, and at that time, I was probably ...... Ten years old? In the early summer of that year, my family was invited to visit a family next to the Zhinian family. ”

"Although it is a collateral lineage, it has actually been separated by several generations, and the reason why there are contacts is because the development momentum of this family is not lost to our own family. It's not so much a guest as a businessman in this name. The adults had important matters to discuss, and the children were entrusted to the care of the eldest son of the family. ”

"The son of this family is older than you?"

"More than that, he is more than ten years older than me, and he will be able to inherit the family business soon after graduating from college."

"And then, you're going horseback riding?"

"Yes. His family has a horse farm, and he himself is good at horseback riding. When we arrived at the racecourse, he showed us his beloved horse that he had raised since childhood, a tall white horse, in his words, a very beautiful young lady among horses. He showed us his riding skills and finally invited me to try out his favorite horse. ”

He said, "As you already know, I was thrown off my horse by that Miss Ma. ”

"Is it that bad to fall off a horse?" I sat up, "The horse is frightened?" ”

"Don't get up in such a hurry all of a sudden." He grabbed my body and nodded, "Its hind leg kicked my calf bone." ”

"Horse ......," I grabbed his hand and asked slowly, "Why is the horse suddenly frightened?" ”

"Because the smell of a sachet irritated the horse."

"Sachets?"

"When we first met, we exchanged gifts. He gave each of his sisters a mosquito-proof sachet. ”

"Yuyu? How old was she then? ”

"She was nine years younger than me, but Yuyu didn't go to the racecourse with us at that time."

"Another sister?" I thought about it for a moment and said the name, "Zhinian Yoo-ji? ”

"I knew that Yuyu would definitely talk to you about Yu Ji, this kid has always regarded her as his idol." He continued, "But what Yuyu doesn't know is that Yu Ji is not a child of the Zhinian family, but an adopted daughter who was brought home by her father when she was an infant. Not many people knew about this, and I only found out about it later. ”

"This kind of thing, the side family will not know about it." I felt a chill in my heart, "Their initial goal was Yoo-ji!" But why would you ......"

"On the way to change my riding clothes, Yoo Ji saw that I was bitten by mosquitoes and quietly lent me the sachet. But this kind of thing is not convenient to talk about to the master. If they knew that the sachet was on me, they wouldn't be stupid enough to take such a risk. ”

He lowered his eyes to me: "The price to be paid for the murder of the heir of this family is too great. ”

"How many times have you experienced something like this?"

"It's not a few times that my family has been carefully protecting me." He stroked my head and said with a smile, "It was because it didn't take precautions against such an unplanned approach." ”

I hugged him, "You shouldn't have to go through this. ”

His lips kissed me on the forehead: "It's okay, it's all over." You see, I'm fine now. ”

I didn't speak, I just hugged him.

I tossed late that night, and when I woke up the next day, it was already afternoon, wrapped in a fluffy velvet blanket, but not in Kamokawa's bedroom, but on Yuichi Fujisawa's private jet.

I was stunned for a while, and the initiator winked at me: "Catch the plane, and I will carry you directly." ”

My face turned red, I looked out the window, "Where are we going?"

"You'll find out when you go."

Mackinac Island, Grand Hotel. This is the filming location of "Seventy Years Back in Time", and we live in room 416, which is the room where the male protagonist in the movie lives.

It was snowing heavily on Mackinac Island in the first month, and I pushed open the heavy curtains to look out the window. Yuichi Fujisawa poured me a cup of black tea at the table.

"You know what? At the end of the movie, Richard and Alice finally get together, and Alice laughs at him for wearing a suit that looks like it was fifteen years ago. Richard defended himself as he fumbled into his suit pocket. But he pulled out a coin from his own era from his suit. ”

"So he crossed over and went back?"

He walked over and handed me the black tea.

"Hmm." I looked at the miniature model of the hotel on the table, exactly like in the movie. I thought about it for a moment and walked over to the model, "If I say it's a music box, would you believe it?" ”

"The one in the movie?"

"Ah, I forgot you saw it." As I spoke, I opened the roof of the hotel model, and the familiar tune poured out.

Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.

In the movie, when Richard and Alice were swimming in the lake, the sound of this piece being played by a passing boat came to Richard, and Richard told Alice that this piece was his favorite, so Alice put this piece in the box when she made the music box.

andβ€”

This is one of Chinian Sooki's favorite tunes, one of the only tunes that Yuichi Fujisawa can play.

"What are you thinking?" He came up behind me with his chin resting lightly on top of my head.

What would Richard do if he knew he would one day return to his own world, knowing that every second he and Alice were in was a countdown to life and death?

I closed the roof of the music box, and the music stopped.

I turned around, a smile on my face.

"Play me this piece in its entirety." I said, "I want to hear it." ”
