The Gulfstream sailed through the clouds, like a black giant eagle roaring and gliding, the sky was as black as ink to make the natural protective color of the giant bird, and the falling light rain crawled out of the porthole like a vein of leaves.

When the 'Sleipnier' approached Japan, Tokyo time was 6 o'clock in the morning, and the whole flight time was 7 hours (corrected above), which was a full four hours faster than ordinary flights.

Thanks to the people who have been transformed by the equipment department, they seem to know this flaw, and they specially prepared anti-noise headphones and put them behind the sofa, if it weren't for Mandy wandering around and taking pictures, they might not be able to find them, and it is also a bad taste of the equipment department if they are so well hidden, it is very likely that even these anti-noise headphones are equipped with the principal's repeated emphasis, and it is impossible for them to admit their defects if they are killed by a group of strong people with mouths that are harder than ducks.

The three of them were resting with noise-cancelling headphones, and it was impossible to stay active all the time during the seven-hour flight, and when they arrived in Tokyo it was 6 a.m. local time, which was the time when the people of Tokyo had just gotten up and were ready to take on a new day in Tokyo.

Lin Nian was sleeping on the soft sofa chair, the black blindfold blocked the light tightly, and his sleep quality was very good... No, it's not so much that he sleeps well, but that he has a good control over his body, that he can fall asleep whenever he needs to, and that the time to sleep always ends up according to his needs, and the only thing he can't control is that he always dreams when he is asleep.

A misty and misty dream.

And in dreams, there is always a black sky, white snow, and a girl with blonde hair.

*

The little boy sat on the Bermuda lawn and played with the Rubik's Cube in his hand, surrounded by white shadows, people coming and going, laughing and laughing.

In the little boy's hand is a piece of entry-level third-order Rubik's Cube, probably because of the recent extremely freezing weather in the port, the internal parts are a little frosty, and the little boy has a particularly hard time making a clicking sound when he twists it, which makes it even more difficult to restore the already not smooth.

Beside the little boy, countless children in white hospital gowns are running on the lawn, the children are old and young, they seem to be playing ghosts and catching people, screams, laughter are endless, but this has nothing to do with the little boy, his world seems to have only himself and the Rubik's Cube in his hand that seems to never be restored.

"You should make a cross first." Behind the little boy, the blonde girl looked down at the chaotic and disorderly Rubik's Cube in his hand and reminded: "You can't restore it for a lifetime." ”

The little boy didn't speak, but twisted the Rubik's Cube to himself, and the movements in his hands did not slow down but became more impatient.

"It's like a jigsaw puzzle, the more you rush it, the more you can't put it together, you have to put the right pieces in the right place." The blonde girl said.

The little boy ignored him, still twisting the Rubik's cube indiscriminately.

The blonde girl didn't speak, just quietly watched the little boy do useless work, until the children in the distance were tired of running, and went to the nurse aunt in the corner to take a break in front of the water, leaving only the two of them to sit in the middle of the lawn, she said again: "You seem to be in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry to spell the Rubik's Cube, you can't be in a hurry to do anything, the more urgent it is, the more wrong it will be." ”

Finally, the little boy stopped what he was doing, and the color blocks on the Rubik's Cube were always disordered, and he looked up at the blonde girl behind him and said, "They say I'm stupid." ”

"You're stupid." The blonde girl nodded in agreement: "A Rubik's Cube like this, you give anyone here for three minutes... They can all fight in less than a minute, but I see that you have been fighting for three days, even if it is a dog, it will choose to take a detour if it can't drill a hole, but you have been drilling the tip of the horns, is there a piece of meat waiting for you at the end of the hole? Know that even if you spell him out, no one else will withdraw their opinion of you. ”

"They said the Rubik's Cube could be opened when it was built, and it had something in it that made me smarter." The little boy lowered his head again and began to twist the Rubik's Cube: "Then they will be willing to play with me." ”

"Looks like there's a piece of meat waiting for you," the blonde chuckled, "who told you this?" ”

"Yakov, Anton." The little boy said: "They play hide and seek and I can't catch up with them, I run very slowly, they say I'm stupid and they don't like them, but the things in the Rubik's Cube can make me smart and faster." ”

The blonde girl looked at the little boy's wooden and persistent face for a long time, she suddenly squatted down and snatched the Rubik's Cube in the little boy's hand, the other party turned around and pounced to snatch it back, but in a hurry, she was tripped under her feet and fell into a.

"They actually told you the secret." The blonde girl lifted the Rubik's Cube high and laughed: "Every child has eaten the contents of the Rubik's Cube, so they have all become smarter, and now you have never eaten it alone." ”

The little boy got up from the ground without saying a word and pounced again, and the blonde girl flashed over and tripped him again: "Don't forcibly break the Rubik's cube and open it, it's Yakov who told you that if you do this, you will break what is hidden inside, right?" ”

The little boy wiped his dirty face, and all he could see was the Rubik's cube tossed in the blonde girl's hand.

"How about making a deal?" The blonde girl played with the Rubik's cube: "I'll help you open the Rubik's cube, and I'll give me half of the things in it that can make people smart." ”

The little boy did not agree, but pounced again and fell again.

The blonde girl sighed, "Is it so stingy?" ”

"They said it would only be useful if you opened it yourself." The little boy who got up again whispered, pounced again.

"What a bunch of uncute little ghosts." The blonde girl muttered and dodged the little boy's flutter, and when the little boy was about to pounce again, she suddenly swept the hall, grabbed the little boy's arm with one hand, pressed him on the lawn, and sat on top of him: "So how about it, I will teach you to open the Rubik's Cube, although it will be very difficult, and it may take you months or even years to learn, but once I teach you how to open the Rubik's Cube, the contents will be divided into half for me." The blonde girl said, "That's fair, you know that no one in Black Swan Harbor wants to teach anyone other than the Doctor how to be smart." ”

"The doctor said his surgery wouldn't help me either." The little boy said.

"That's a shame, it looks like I'm the only one who can help you." The blonde girl said, "But the price is that the contents of the Rubik's Cube are half of mine, and the choice is yours." ”

The little boy was silent for a long time without answering, and the blonde girl asked softly, "You want to be smart just to play with them?" ”

The boy nodded.

"This is a sure-fire deal for you, even with my help, you can't unscrew the Rubik's Cube, but at least you can still play with me." The blonde girl said, "If you unscrew it, then everyone will be happy, and you can have more children to play with." ”

The boy seemed to be convinced, he nodded slightly, and then the Rubik's Cube fell on the lawn in front of him, and the blonde girl let go of him and stood up and clapped her hands: "The contract is established now, you have to listen to me in the future, and I will teach you how to open the Rubik's Cube." ”

"From now on?" The little boy held the Rubik's Cube and stood in front of the blonde girl.

"From now on." The blonde girl looked at the little boy who was a head shorter than herself, and helped him flick the grass and dirt chips off his head: "The things in the Rubik's Cube are important to you, they are important to everyone, and the more important things are, the harder they are, so it may take us a long time to get it... Don't worry, some things haven't come yet, it's too early. ”

Is it too early?

The little boy watched the blonde girl press her head, but his eyes fell into the distance, outside the window, the black storm hovered at the end of the skyline, the extremely cold frozen soil was actually raining lightly, and the white end of the sky contained a dull and rumbling storm, there was a thunderous roar, the tremor was extremely strong, and the tremor of the earth could be felt from a distance away.

"Wait." "It's too early for you and for me," she said. ”

*

The Gulfstream passenger plane trembled, and the tremor made Lin Nian subconsciously open his eyes, but it was dark in his vision, and it took him half a second to react before he tore off the blindfold on his face and looked around.

"Senior brother, are you awake?" Mandy saw Lin Nian take off the blindfold and sighed: "You sleep so well, you can sleep so soundly in this environment." ”

"I used to live in a very noisy place, so I'm used to it." Lin Nian rubbed the bridge of his nose, and the ethereal sound and images in his mind faded away like a low tide, leaving only an empty black sand beach.

"We're here." Miyamoto, who was sitting across from him, looked at the scenery outside the porthole, his eyes full of remembrance and emotion.

Lin Nian, who had recovered from his sleep, glanced out of the porthole, the rain was pulling out winding water marks on the window, the plane was falling, the wings were covered with a faint mist and pulled out a long white line, and under them was the bustling lights of Tokyo, although it was six o'clock in the morning, the city was still lit with dense sparks, the sea of clouds on the horizon was reflected in the film of the morning sun, and the turbid yellow street lamps on the street seemed to extend to the corners of the whole city like veins.

"Is this Tokyo? In my hometown, the city is gray at six o'clock in the morning. Lin Nian looked at the brightly lit city and was a little stunned: "But it's like a fire here, burning from day to night, and then burning until daytime for a long time." ”

"Tokyo is a warm and dangerous city where there are always many people who are running around day and night for their livelihood and beyond, and the city will light up the street lamps for them 24 hours a day, so that too many people who are confused will fall into the gutter and drown." Miyamoto said in one heart.

"Is it warm and dangerous?" Lin Nian couldn't deny that he just looked at this piece of beauty silently, and he seemed to be able to feel the temperature and noise of the city all the time from a height of 100 kilometers, even if the dawn broke, there were countless people toiling in this labyrinth of sparks and sparks.

"I always feel that you are all good at literature and art, which makes me feel out of place, and when I think of Tokyo, I can only think of Takuya Kimura and Yokoden... Did we get off the plane and take the airport train to the city? Mandy took small bites of the cheesecake she found in the freezer, and it looked like the seven-hour flight had made her a little hungry.

"You can save some for a while, I'm sure the Inuyama family's reception won't disappoint you." Miyamoto glanced at Mandy, who seemed to have hamsters for the winter, said.

"Ryuyin and Kaiseki? I've only heard of these two. Lin Nian said.

"Specifically, Ryuyin and Kaiseki are the same thing, Ryuyin is a shop, Kaiseki is the type of cuisine, and the opposite of Ryuyin are Torahaku and Kikuno, which are the three families of kaiseki cuisine, but the family has its own chef, so there is a high probability that we will not go to those stores as guests." Miyamoto smiled wholeheartedly: "I believe that the things made by the chef of this family will not be worse than the first two, but will be more in line with Lin Jun's appetite." ”

"I'll wait and see." Lin Nian's head.

The black Gulf Stream roars over the city and glides toward Narita Airport in Chiba, where the sound of rain fades and the sound of wind, whistling and the warmth of the sun fills the world.
