A melodious chord chime, but in the small room, it evokes endless irritability.

Lying in the comfortable bed, snoring, salivaing, and seemingly immersed in an infinite dream and unable to extricate himself, Takeuchi Shu was noisy by the ringtone of the mobile phone next to the pillow and frowned frequently. It's like a hammer that kills a beautiful world, destroying the beautiful dreams that people yearn for all at once.

Ringing a bell that doesn't stop ringing, and the noise in your ears doesn't stop. Takeuchi opened his eyes with a little annoyance, and rummaged around the pillow to find the culprit of all this.

turned on the mobile phone, didn't look at the number of the caller ID, and directly pointed the earpiece at the ear, Takeuchi Shu shouted impatiently: "Who! Which bastard, call early in the morning. A rare rest..... Give me an explanation! ”

"Stinky boy, his temper is quite big!" On the other side of the earpiece, a very loud voice came from a woman.

Hearing this voice, Takeuchi, who was still dazed and seemed to be half-asleep, suddenly became energetic, lifted his futon, sat up, and replied a little nervously: "Uh...... Mother? I just woke up and didn't see your phone. ”

"It's almost noon, and you're still sleeping in your room!" Takeuchi's mother's voice, which seemed to carry emotion, penetrated the phone.

Takeuchi Shu used an embarrassed laugh to hide his discomfort in the face of his mother's phone call: "Today's rare rest, you know, I am usually very busy with schoolwork......"

The other end of the phone directly interrupted him: "Stinky boy, in terms of your academic performance, are you still busy with schoolwork?" ”

"Hehe...... "Takeuchi Shu scratched his head and asked on the phone, "Mom, you called me early in the morning, what's the matter?" Not really, just to remind me to get up. ”

"You're such a big man, and you still let me and your dad worry about it. If you can't get into college, why don't you go back to the countryside and look at the store with the two of us after you graduate! You're alone in Gunma, and we don't feel at ease. ”

"Don't!" When Takeuchi heard his mother's words, he was a little resistant, and replied directly: "Even if I can't get into a good university, I will find a way to work and make money by myself!" ”

The other end of the phone sighed and said helplessly: "By the way, I almost forgot to get down to business." ”

Serious business? Takeuchi yawned, what could be the right thing. His mother rarely contacted him, and even when he called, it was nothing more than a cold and warm question, and rarely mixed up with his own life.

"Your uncle, you should arrive in Tokyo today, it should be around two o'clock in the afternoon. If you're fine, pick it up. Also, if your uncle doesn't find a place to live for a while, he'll be there for a while. The voice on the phone was much calmer, and he said patiently.

Ha? Takeuchi looked into the phone in confusion and asked suspiciously, "Uncle?" ”

"That's right, your father's youngest brother, an uncle who has been living in the United States."

"Why should I pick him up!" "Why do you want to stay with me for a while?"

Takeuchi threw out a few questions in a row, and asked his mother on the phone in a hurry.

He usually lives alone, and he is used to going to bed late and waking up late, and no one is restrained. This suddenly has an uncle who came out of nowhere, what's going on? If it's just to pick him up, it's okay, the key is..... Listening to his mother's meaning, he still has to contribute his house and live with an unmasked man in the future.

"What's your idea, stinky boy?" The mother's voice increased.

Wu Neishu said with some resistance: "Why do you want to arrange to come to me, go to your countryside, and live together, isn't it better?" ”

"Silly boy!" There was a tone of hatred on the phone.

"You uncle, not an ordinary person!"

"Not an ordinary person?" Takeuchi was stunned, how to understand such words from the mouth of his simple mother.

The mother hesitated and said, "Listen to your father, your uncle is very rich. ”

"Rich ......" Takeuchi seemed to understand what his mother meant.

But a rich uncle came to squeeze a house of less than 30 square meters with himself and did not go to a hotel...... It doesn't seem to make sense.

"You're about to graduate, and if you really can't get into college, we won't blame you, Ah Shu. But our old couple is very worried about your future life, and I heard your father say that although this uncle is older than you, he is very young, and he should be a few years older than you, and you are both young people, so you should be able to talk together. Heard...... He was a painter who had returned from the United States......"

Takeuchi Shu took the trouble to listen to his mother's story, although he was only eighteen and still in high school, but the people in the society were sophisticated, and he had already understood it, so he naturally understood his mother's intentions.

All in all, this uncle was young, but he was very productive, a painter and, most importantly, ...... Very rich!

Isn't it great to be rich?

It seems really remarkable! When Takeuchi thought that his pitiful living expenses seemed to be not as good as the cost of a date with a rich classmate, he had to admit such a realistic factor.

Although a hundred were reluctant and somewhat hated the arrangement of his mother and father, he agreed to the matter and went to the airport in the afternoon to pick up this so-called uncle.

Takeuchi has some curiosity!

In his daily life, he has the most contact with ordinary people and students as big as himself, but it is the first time for a person at the level of a painter.

I don't know what kind of person this uncle will be?

Yawning for a long time, Takeuchi hung up his mother's phone, glanced at the time, he was usually procrastinating, and hurriedly washed up and prepared to go out. Although he was a young man, he was also an elder, his titular uncle. If I was late for the pick-up, my mother would definitely blame me.

......

"So, we're going to the Tokyo airport now just to pick up your uncle?" Sitting on the crowded Shinkansen, a thin young man asked Takeuchi beside him.

He listened in amazement to the whole story.

If you encounter this kind of thing, you will be confused.

Takeuchi nodded helplessly, and said to his good brother who accompanied him at this time: "Takumi, the ghost knows where this uncle came from, although I heard my father briefly mention it before, but for me, I have no impression at all. Oh, my God! I actually want to be under the same roof with a stranger in the future, and it is very uncomfortable to think about it. ”

The young man who was called 'Takuha' smiled solemnly: "Ah Shu, maybe this uncle is a person who is very easy to contact, maybe he can't say." ”

"I hope so! I hope it's not the kind of guy who is full of English and has communication barriers! Takeuchi said with a wry smile in the face of Takumi's comfort.

Tuohai didn't continue to speak, and his curiosity had been aroused by Ah Shu's words, and he also wondered what kind of person this uncle who had returned from the United States, a painter who had run back to China.

"Hello Takumi, hehe, if I run to the airport alone to pick up a stranger, and call his uncle, it's so embarrassing!" Although Ah Shu is very arrogant, he is also a little difficult to follow in the face of this kind of thing. As the brother who has the best relationship with him, Tuohai who came together is his strong needle!

At least it made him feel better mentally.

Takumi didn't answer this sentence, but looked up at the indication map of the platform line: "It's almost there." It should be ok, not late. ”

......

When the Shinkansen arrived at the Tokyo Airport platform, the two of them asked for directions and found the reception hall.

There are a lot of people in the pick-up hall, because it is a holiday, so there is a lot of people. Ah Shu, who has never been on a plane yet, said with some emotion: "There are really a lot of rich people!" By the way, Takumi, have you ever been on a plane? ”

"Nope." Takumi shook his head.

For high school students of their age, the most exposed means of transportation is the car. Neither of them had ever been far away, and in a country like Japan, where high-speed rail lines extend in all directions, it is almost impossible to fly.

Standing at the entrance of the pick-up passage that my mother had explained, I waited. Ah Shu was bored observing the passengers coming in and out of the airport, because Takumi was a very boring person, so the two of them didn't communicate much, and they both used their own ways of thinking to sort out time.

Just when Ah Shu felt sleepy again, and he didn't sleep well, and he couldn't open his eyes, the sound of an announcement sounded in his ears.

"It's time to arrive." Takumi said.

Ah Shu's spirits perked up a little, and his eyes widened as he looked at the people who came out of the pick-up passage.

On the phone, my mother didn't make it too clear what this uncle looked like, but said that his hair was very long......

A painter with long hair seems to make sense. Ah Shu doesn't think it's strange, if it's a guy next to him, with long hair, who is neither male nor female, he will feel abrupt.

One after another, people came out. Because there was no experience in picking up the airport, the whole process was impatient. There is anticipation, nervousness, and curiosity!

Ah Shu said a little boredly: "If I knew this, it would be better to take paper and pen and write his name, so that he can see us at a glance." ”

Takumi was always by his side, helping Ah Shu keep an eye on the man with long hair.

Just as the two of them watched a group of people leave here, wondering if there was something wrong, a figure that seemed to meet the target slowly walked out. He walked very slowly, not dragging a big suitcase like everyone else. Instead, it's very casual, carrying a backpack on his back.

He is very tall, in stark contrast to Takeuchi's height, about 1.8 meters, which is especially prominent at the crowded Tokyo airport. And he is wearing a black trench coat, with a peaked cap and sunglasses, a faint tattoo on his neck, and the most eye-catching point is his hair!

The hair is long, probably below the shoulders. Seems to give some artistic touch!

Takumi and Ah Shu's eyes locked on the figure.

Then the two of them looked at each other, and seemed to identify this man as the so-called uncle.

Ah Shu hesitated for a moment and stepped forward, what should he shout?

Is it uncle, or is it his real name? If you call your uncle, wouldn't it be embarrassing if you recognize the wrong person?

But if you call your real name, will it be a little disrespectful, after all, this man is his uncle!

Just when he was struggling, this man in a black trench coat and long hair actually walked straight over.

"Hello, are you Takeuchi?"

He took off his sunglasses and took the initiative to say hello in fluent Japanese.

He called out his name with unmistakable accuracy!

In other words, this man is really an uncle who came back from the United States.

Ah Shu reacted, his expression changed, and he hurriedly introduced himself seriously: "Hello uncle, I'm Wu Neishu." ”

"You don't have to be so nervous, we will be good brothers in the future!" Under Ah Shu's stunned eyes, this uncle actually walked up to him, put his arms around his shoulders, and then said in high spirits.

His strength was so great that Ah Shu, who was caught off guard, almost stumbled. The moment he was embraced, all expectations and settings were shattered.

Good brother?

Takumi and Shu's expressions stiffened.

"Uncle, you ......"

"You can call me anything, don't call me uncle, I'm still very young, ahem." The man in black smiled and stretched out his hand, and he, who was one meter eight, hugged Ah Shu's shoulder, like a chicken.

Takeuchi's whole person reacted often, he never dreamed that this uncle would be such a casual guy. It seems that the Yankees are really open......

And more importantly, he is really much younger than he imagined.

Because of the proximity, he could see the face of this uncle, that is, the appearance of a twenty-something.

"By the way, my name is Takeuchi Xiu, did your mother tell you?" The man in black smiled slightly.

Ah Shu nodded hurriedly, although it was not as reserved as at the beginning, but the other party was a stranger he had never known after all, and his identity was still his uncle.

"Is this your friend?" Fluent Japanese,It's very clear from Takeuchi Xiu's mouth.,There's no worry about Ah Shu at all.。

Ah Shu looked at Takumi at this time and introduced Takeuchi Xiu: "This is my good friend, his name is Fujiwara Takumi, and he is a classmate of mine in one of my high schools. ”

"Uncle... Uncle...... Hello. Takumi didn't know how to express it, so he carefully said it with honorifics.

Hearing Ah Shu's introduction, Takeuchi Xiu looked at him thoughtfully.

“Finally.you.are.here!” Takeuchi Xiu looked at Takumi and smiled lightly, only he knew what his mood was like when he first met this kid.
