539.A Thousand Miles (I)
TAKI: "Eiri contacted me in the early hours of the morning and said she was going to fight one last time. She promised to send the rest of the original drawings by tomorrow."
A little after seven o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yu turned on his phone in a drowsy mood, and the first thing he saw was such a message. He looked at the time again, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
γ04:56γγ
Did these two really sleep well yesterday?
No! Wait a minute! The problem is that I draw six original paintings a day, which is not so much a fast as a chaotic speed, right?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Yu shook his head, but he didn't say the same aggressive words as yesterday, but just replied with an "OK" gesture to indicate that he knew.
Now is not the time to put heavier pressure, it is better to say that the burden on the painter who came out of the mess is already heavier than Jiang Yu himself imagined.
And...... He still adheres to his long-standing concept - for talented creators, what he needs to do is not to put shackles on them, but to clean up the remaining mess after the other party comes to him.
Jiang Yu has a premonition that even if he can take out the original painting, it is estimated that he is at a rather delicate point in time.
That's why it's important to prepare in advance.
A Japanese breakfast was neatly prepared, and Jiang Yu called the two girls who were sleeping lazy one by one. For the rest of the day, except for eating, he stayed in his room, doing the final debugging work on the game program.
So, in the blink of an eye, night fell.
Neon flashes, the tide surges, thin clouds sway, and jade disks hang high.
After eight o'clock in the evening, An Yi was at home.
Lun's expression was slightly stagnant, and listening to the heavy voice on the other end of the phone, his heart sank together.
But he didn't panic.
In other words, the situation has reached this point because of his vexatiousness, his stubbornness, and his indulgence, so he can't panic at all.
He calmly hung up the phone, checked the train schedule on Google Maps, and after confirming that he could catch the last train to Nasu Highland, he began to prepare his equipment for going out.
And the most important of them is -
"Cold Medicine ......"
Lun also muttered to himself, rummaging through the cabinets in his living room. Thanks to his parents, who leave early and return late, he is basically away from home all day, so he knows the location of these necessities at home very well.
The only thing worth frustrating about is probably that it is not very commonly used in An Yijia, so when Lun also turned it out, he was stunned to find that it was almost past its expiration date.
"At this timeββ! No matter, go out first! β
He hurried towards the entrance, but stiffened the moment he pushed the door open.
Because he suddenly remembered that even if he arrived at Nasu Plateau, there was no money for the journey from the station to the villa of the Eili family.
Lun also realized at this time that he was not calm at all.
Because, right now, it is the ...... who is experiencing a great crisis Pear pear......
Rewind a few minutes ago.
Lunye, who had been waiting in front of the computer all day and basically had to look at the mailbox every ten minutes, looked at the black sky outside the window, sighed, rubbed his stiff shoulders, and prepared to go downstairs to the living room to get a glass of water to drink.
And just as he was about to act, the mobile phone, which had been silent all day, suddenly rang, and it showed the name that he had been dreaming of all day.
He swallowed and cautiously answered the phone, for fear of hearing something bad. However, before he could say hello, he heard the slightly hoarse female voice on the other end of the phone, and spoke first.
"It's over...... I'm done with it all, Lunya! β
"Pear ......"
"Sketching, line drawing, and coloring, I did it all in one day! Although the homogeneity of the last three pictures is quite high, it can only be regarded as four pictures. However, it is the first time in history! A new record for yourself! There is no surpass! It should be said that I definitely don't want to be surpassed! β
Lun was also keenly aware of the other party's abnormality, frowned, and said in a solemn tone: "You wait a minute, Ying Lili!" β
"Ah, yes. Say sorry to that guy for me? In the end, I was going to paint a few more pictures there, but as I was drawing, it occurred to me that the focus was not on those pictures, so I focused on the scene of the reunion. In that scene alone, I drew three pictures! β
"English pear."
Stupid, what are you sorry about?
With your way of drawing, even if it is a picture with a similar background, it must be slightly different. Also, it's all hand-drawn from beginning to end, right?
Isn't that a complete effort to complete six drawings in sixteen hours?
"Well, I'll send it by mail now. Ah, but in terms of size, it seems a bit reluctant to use all the attached files? Or do you want to send it one by one? β
"Ying Li Pear!"
You've made me a little bit aware! Perceived ββ!
"Oh, I can hear you! Lun, you've been yelling at something since just now......"
"Have you taken your temperature?"
"What?"
As soon as Lun also opened his mouth from Ying Lili on the other end of the phone, he understood that the situation had become extremely bad.
After all, the over-excited tone, and the hoarse voice, all spoke of the girl's poor health at the moment.
"Do you feel like your head is hot? Is your head groggy? Will the body be heavy? β
"What are you talking about...... Am I okay? β
ββ¦β¦ Hang up the phone right now. Then, call a doctor quickly. Let's be clear first, it's not from my side, find your family's exclusive doctor in Nasu Highlands. β
Lunye, who was anxious, unexpectedly gave instructions in an unprecedentedly calm attitude that he hadn't expected.
"What the hell are you talking about? I didn't feel sick at all. These are, of course...... It's all ...... Readily...... A sense of accomplishment...... Bringing ...... Weary...... ......"
The next moment, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground as if something had collapsed.
The memories end.
Standing in the early winter night, Lun Ye stared blankly into the distance. It's like I'm expecting something, and I'm worried about something.
A few more minutes passed, and quietly and silently came to the eve of nine o'clock.
A BMW car suddenly turned on the lights and stopped neatly at the door of Lunye's house, and then it was an inexplicable person who reached out to him in a desperate situation.
"Hi, Lunye-san. Sorry I'm late. The handsome guy with light brown hair looked at Lunya with a smile, "Then let's go?" Take the highway and you should be able to get there before the date changes. β
"No, you wait a minute, Iori......"
Yes, in the end, Lunye, who was in a desperate situation, did not choose to ask for help from anyone who was closer to him, but chose the existence of competing with each other on the stage two weeks later.
"There's not much time to wait for you. I had to go back to Tokyo the next morning, so I had to leave early. Iori Hajima played with her phone, "Besides, I'm actually curious why you're asking me for help." Isn't it more appropriate and appropriate to find that Jiang Yu? β
"I ......" Lunye's expression was unnatural for a moment, and it could even be said to be gray and gloomy, "It's all my fault, so I can't trouble them more." Well, I can't. β
"That's right......" Iori Hajima shrugged noncommittally, then looked at Ryonya with a smile, "Now that you've made your choice, I won't say anything more." However, let me remind you - Lun Ye's choice may induce immeasurable results afterwards. β
Lun also had a serious expression, and his lips were pursed: "I have ...... Be mentally prepared. β
Even if...... Also ......
A young man named An Yi Lunye, after hanging up the phone, already had a decision in his heart.
"And, at the end of the dayβwhere are you going?"
Faced with Ryonya's question, Iori Hajima sighed a little exaggeratedly: "It's really annoying, didn't you mention it yourself?" I'm going to go to Nasu Plateau to get the original painting. β
"Wait! I didn't say that at all, did I? And why would you go too? Besides, I'm just begging you to lend me money! β
This is what Lunya had considered before, and the solution to the distance from Nasu Plateau to Yingli Lijia Villa.
"Eh, none of that matters, does it? Also, if you take a train or a taxi, it takes time to change trains, right? What should you do if you miss the last train? I think it would be wiser to accept my proposal at this time, don't you think? β
Iori Hajima waved her hand, a look that was completely in consideration of you.
Lun was speechless for a moment, and the thoughts in his mind turned a thousand times, and finally nodded hesitantly.
Seeing this, Iori Hajima laughed: "By the way, let's introduce it." This person surnamed Jiang Zhong is an accountant in the bank, and he helps with the tax work in our community. When you called me earlier, our club was discussing consignment at the store. Jiang Zhong, who was present at the time, said that he could help in the car. β
"Then, Jiang Zhong, this is An Yilun, a classmate I just mentioned. Our natural enemies. (whispering) Well...... Although you may be more interested in the other person. β
"Ah, you, hello...... My name is An Yi. β
Mr. Enaka, who nodded silently under Iori's introduction, is a slightly short tall, wearing a crisp black suit, a chic soft hat, and combing his long hair back into a bunch, a little bit of an older brother who can't see his age and has a drifting taste.
After greeting him with some restraint, Lenya got into the car and began to explain the specific situation to Iori Hajima by the way.
In other words, even in the current situation, Lunya, who was eroded by the nature of the otaku to the point of incurability, still couldn't help but complain in the bottom of his heart: Accountants actually drive BMW, how big a club are you?
β¦β¦
Ten o'clock, the moon to the heart of heaven.
Jiang Yu glanced at LINE, and there was still no response to the message sent an hour ago. Frowning and thinking for a while, he still clicked on the address book and made a call to the man.
The phone rang a few times, then hung up.
Rejection?
Jiang Yu looked at the phone screen with some confusion, and then dialed again.
This time it didn't even ring and was hung up.
Jiang Yu suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, he sat on the chair, his face changed, and many kinds of speculations flashed in his mind.
Eventually, as if giving up, he dialed the phone again.
"Hello? Father. Are you available now? Can you do me a favor? β
"Huh? Right. Just look up the geographical location of these two IDs. LINE should have this feature, right? β
"Oh, good. I'm always waiting. β
After a brief exchange, Jiang Yu hung up the phone. Within a few minutes, the bell rang, and Jiang Yu got the expected news.
One of them was located on the Nasu plateau and did not move; The other is moving fast on the highway, so it is not easy to capture the signal.
Well, I know, I know, Doppler shift, right?
No, now isn't the time to talk about that, is it?!
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yu still whispered his other request: "...... Can you trouble Dad, you to have someone send me there? Well, yes, it's the one that didn't move there. Well, okay, I'll wait. β
After hanging up the phone again, Jiang Yu thought about it, and dialed the other two numbers in turn.
"Hello? Kato? Here's the thing......"
"Huh? Are you going too? Don't worry about your family's reaction? What the? They seem to be relieved? By the way, I haven't met your parents, have I? β
"Ah...... It's because it's a club thing, so it's very reassuring...... Also, too...... Hehe......"
After agreeing on a meeting place, Jiang Yu immediately dialed out the number of Kasumigaoka Shiyu again. But you can only get a sound to shut down.
He shook his head, trying to keep himself calm. Jiang Yu finally chose to send the other party the cause and effect, as well as his own decision, through email and text message.
After doing all this, Jiang Yu changed his clothes very neatly, brought his computer by the way, and prepared to go out.
After saying "I have something urgent to go out and come back tomorrow" in Xiao Bury's surprised expression, Jiang Yu put on his shoes and rushed out of the door.
He had to meet up with Megumi Kato first, and then take the car arranged by his father Jiang He to Nasu Plateau.
Because the current time is ten o'clock in the evening, the place where the two met was arranged by Jiang Yu quite forcefully at the door of Kato's house.
But while waiting at the door, he seemed to feel a two, or more, gaze peeing at him from the corner of the window of a house in front of him.
β¦β¦ It's good to assume that I didn't notice it.
After making such a decision easily, Jiang Yu waited quietly.
Subsequently, it didn't take long. Megumi Kato, who had a normal complexion, trotted out of the house with the blessings and encouragement of her family, as well as the faint reluctance of her family.
Anyway - why are you reluctant? Is it time to say goodbye forever? What kind of bloody plot development is this?
Looking at Jiang Yu, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, Kato Megumi pulled the hair scattered around his ears and said calmly, "Then let's go?" Are you waiting at the door of Jiang Jun's house? β
And looking at the girl with long black straight hair who didn't seem to be the slightest different, Jiang Yu also had a faint strange mood surging. Hearing the question, he scratched his head and nodded in a daze: "Yes, yes." β
Megumi Kato also nodded, and after taking a few steps forward, he suddenly stopped again. Jiang Yu blinked his eyes and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" Is there something I forgot to take? β
Hearing this, Megumi Kato showed a gentle smile that was a little helpless: "I don't know where Jiang Jun's home is?" β
"Ahh I'll lead the way! β
Jiang Yu struck his palms together and suddenly realized. In order to alleviate this embarrassment, he took the lead and walked to the apartment he rented.
Megumi Kato followed suit, her eyes glistening with concern.
Tonight, destined to sleepless.
