103. Our Time – Kurosawa Love (1)
There is hardly any gap between houses in Tokyo, and even the old apartments are close together, which is too dense to make it feel unrealistic.
The air is extraordinarily thin, and the smells are mixed together, large, complex, incomprehensible, and cold.
Compared to the people on Zhitori Island, everyone here is unusually fast, but everyone is like a small meteorite in the universe, following a specific trajectory without colliding at all.
Jiang Yuanshen's body was sweating slightly from the sweltering heat of the city, and at the same time, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and after eating the lunch box at noon, he still hadn't eaten a drop of water.
He took out his phone, but stared at the name of "Kurosawa Mercy" on the screen and was silent, as silent as death, only blinking his eyes at a certain frequency.
In the end, even he couldn't bear the suffocating silence, and Jiang Yuanshen dialed the phone.
Time kept passing in the dial tone, and sure enough, Kurosawa didn't answer.
Jiang Yuan cautiously expected this result, Kurosawa's determination and sadness were so deep, and he was so immature.
Even though he knew it didn't mean anything, he called again as if in prayer, praying that her voice would be heard.
However, he could only hear the constant prompt sound from the mobile phone, and Jiang Yuanshen couldn't see anything.
Unable to do anything, he stood still staring at the people and the radio tower standing between the buildings, and now he had to go to her.
The Kurosawa family lives near Hibiya Park in Minato-ku, Tokyo, but Shen Emoto doesn't know exactly where it is.
He had to reconnect with his friends who used to go to school in Tokyo, most of them were ministers of some clubs, and they were sent in groups-
"Hello, I'd like to ask where Kurosawa-san's home address is?"
In the next end of the time, I received replies one after another-
"Jiang Yuan? What's the matter with you contacting me all of a sudden? Then again, is what happened to you on Chitori Island true or not? ”
"I heard that there was another earthquake on Chitori Island, are you okay? Kurosawa-san was still at school the other day, did you quarrel with her? What do you want to address? ”
"What do you want her address to do at this point in time? You can't do anything out of the ordinary when you have a conflict. ”
"You know I like you, and the messages you sent you before have been read and not replied to, and now you have the cheekiness to ask me for the address of another girl?"
"Coming back? It seems to be 1-chome of Akasaka, Minato District, wow, you are a foreigner and don't understand, that place is amazing, it will be surrounded by cherry blossoms in spring, there are more than 400 flat! If you look up, you'll see Tokyo Tower—"
finally had a reliable answer, but Jiang Yuanshen didn't look at the information after that.
It's not far, just a twenty-minute walk from Tokyo Station to Hibiya Park.
Jiang Yuanshen was just about to take the tram when a message suddenly came from his mobile phone.
He took out his phone and found that it was from an unfamiliar number—
"If you don't find it, try your luck at the Dotoro coffee shop on Tabelog."
Jiang Yuanshen quickly reacted, this is Qingqiu Jimu's number.
"Thank you"
"It's a really tiring job."
He turned off his cell phone and squeezed into the tram in the crowd.
All the pull rings on the train were held, and people of all ages were crowded in, and Jiang Yuanshen's front and back were attached to the people he didn't know, feeling both embarrassed and embarrassed.
Luckily, he quickly escaped the train, and the thought of meeting Kurosawa made him so excited that he couldn't help but run out of the station.
Sneakers stomp on puddles, creating ripples one after another.
When you pass Hibiya Park, you will see a huge circular fountain where many people play.
The night is eroding, and the park is sprinkled with dim lights, and there are golden broken leaves along the streets, and when the strong wind blows, the golden boats there will fly.
The air, smells, and sounds seem to have changed, and the surroundings are filled with the smell of water vapor and fresh greenery after the rain, and there are all kinds of birds chirping at night.
Next to the pool, a blonde man hugged the black-haired woman to the music of roadside entertainers, and the two kissed each other step by step, like droplets of water bursting across the pool.
Countless droplets and ripples, murmuring love in a huge circular pool.
Jiang Yuanshen didn't pay much attention to it, but he still sighed in his heart that this couple could be so bold.
Following the navigation to find the café on the way, he decided to go to the café first in order not to waste time.
Colorful signboards and advertisements can be seen everywhere, which are very dazzling, and the constant flow of people and vehicles makes him uneasy.
By the way, although I have lived in Tokyo for five years, I have no memory of the routes, storefronts, etc. of this metropolis.
It's a time when someone asks, "Where is this place?" , a hillbilly who will also answer "I don't know", and even find a store with friends from other places for a long time.
This time, Jiang Yuanshen walked around a building for a long time, and the map clearly showed that the coffee shop was here, but he couldn't find the intersection at all.
In the end, I asked passers-by and found "Café Dotoro".
- Oh my God, who knew this store only had a door less than a meter narrow? The storefront outside looks like it's going to be demolished.
As soon as Jiang Yuanshen walked into the storefront, when the door was closed, the sound outside disappeared without a trace.
Soothing music is playing inside the café, and the dim lighting and plain décor all indicate that it has a slow pace that is not disturbed by the outside world.
The location of the store is very bright, the customers are scattered like stars, the voices of each person are extremely subtle, and some people are watching the movie playing in the store carefully.
Cinema Paradiso.
However, Jiang Yuanshen didn't pay much attention to these, but kept patrolling around, hoping to catch a glimpse of Kurosawa's loving figure.
In the midst of the seemingly elegant people, Yu Guang noticed a man sitting in the corner raising his arms as if yawning.
Jiang Yuan subconsciously looked at his gaze and found that under the warm light, there was a man wearing thin short sleeves, and a woman in a white dress facing him.
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but doubt his eyes, but he still walked towards him with a look around.
"Uncle Bai Yuan, I didn't expect to meet you here." He walked up to him and offered to say hello.
"Ah, long time no see, boy, do you look a little thinner than before?" Bai Yuan Xianshu didn't seem surprised, and his tone of voice was very leisurely.
However, Jiang Yuanshen did not respond to him, and the moment he saw Kurosawa's pity, his body felt like an electric shock.
For a split second, her eyes were captured.
Her long black hair is like a waterfall, her cherry blossom cheeks are even more beautiful in the light, her obsidian eyes are breathtaking, and her small lips are extraordinary.
She wore a white dress with a tunic with a charming waist, bare white legs on the lower body, and delicate low heels.
Perhaps because he had never seen Kurosawa Mercy wear a "white dress", Jiang Yuanshen was surprised by this, and even wondered if the real Kurosawa Mercy was hiding somewhere.
Kurosawa's face was full of surprise when she first saw Jiang Yuanshen, but after three seconds, she regained her previous cold expression.
She nuggled her cheeks, her fingers pinching the spoon, and gently stirring the cloudy brown coffee, which was wafting a touch of pure white.
"Jiang Yuan, sit down for a while."
Bai Yuan Xianshu got up as he spoke, went to the front desk and ordered a cup of coffee for Jiang Yuanshen.
As a result, the waiter sent it, but the other person was gone.
Kurosawa sat across from him without saying a word, but Jiang Yuanshen had a feeling that his cervical vertebrae were about to be misaligned.
He glanced at the girl in front of him, who was sipping her coffee with her legs crossed, as if she didn't see him as nothing.
Jiang Yuanshen shouted disappointment in his heart, but when he realized that all this was his fault, he couldn't blame anyone.
The sweet hot coffee Ou Lei is particularly comfortable to drink.
"Cinema Paradiso" played the plot of the protagonist Duoduo, who meets his old lover Elena after returning to his hometown.
The girl sitting opposite her is also very attractive by the gentle fragrance coming from her body.
Jiang Yuanshen's toes gently stepped on the rouge-colored plush carpet, and if he drank it like this, it would be meaningless for him to come all the way to Tokyo.
He plucked up the courage to look up at Kurosawa, only to find that dark circles appeared on her eye bags, and she had only covered them up with makeup.
Kurosawa seemed to notice the dark circles under Jiang Yuanshen's eyes looking at her, she barely held up her shrugged shoulders, and pretended to lower her eyes naturally, like a child who had been exposed to a trick.
That you look beautiful in a white dress. Anyway, your face is a little bad? ”
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yuanshen couldn't wait to slap himself, always feeling that it was too wasteful to say this on this occasion.
Kurosawa looked up, the dim light fainting the slender eyelashes and falling into her crystal-like eyes.
"What do you want?"
Her words were different from the usual haughty, and her tone was very cold.
But when she asked like this, Jiang Yuanshen was shocked like a sparrow that fluttered its wings when it heard a slingshot, and this mood seemed to be unexpectedly meeting the eyes of the gods, and his whole body trembled slightly.
He pursed his lips and tried to put his hands in his pockets, but found that it was unsightly to sit with his hands in his pockets, so he had to take a heavy breath and put his hands on the chair.
Jiang Yuan didn't know where to start, and kept bowing his head, raising his head, and taking deep breaths:
"That. I'm working at Mano Port today, and it's the kind of work that puts on one-piece fishing pants and gets on the boat to carry things, which is a good job on the island to do with Shimizu."
Kurosawa didn't seem interested in this, just clasped his arms with both hands, slightly straightened his soft and full chest, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Jiang Yuanshen with a boring expression.
"And then. I found this. Jiang Yuanshen took out the blue meat steamed bun from his pocket.
Kurosawa's loving eyebrows twitched slightly at that moment, and his expression was a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down and said:
"This thing doesn't make sense to me anymore, just throw it away."
"And then I was told that if I didn't want it, I would give it to him, and I wouldn't give it."
Jiang Yuan talked to himself cautiously, his fingers gently kneading the meat steamed buns, and then frowned and said,
"Then he said he could help me, and this person was very good, so I gave him the job, of course, all the wages were his, and then I bought the nearest ferry ticket to Niigata, and when I got off the boat, I found that I forgot to take a shower, so I went to take another shower, and then took the Shinkansen to Tokyo."
Kurosawa bit her lower lip lightly, listening to his words as clear as diplomatic rhetoric, and her fingers pinched her arm a little harder.
She turned her face to the side, leaving only Jiang Yuanshen's fair side face and cute little earlobes.
"No matter what you say, there are many times in life that you can't go back-"
Jiang Yuanshen's breathing seemed to be broken for half a beat, he spat down, like a child who admits his mistakes, and said in a low tone:
"It's me who doesn't do it, it's me who doesn't take too much care of your thoughts."
Kurosawa's breathing was short, her lower lip pursed slightly, and her little face couldn't help but show a bitter look for a moment.
"Didn't I say I'll leave whether you come or not?"
"It's my fault for not keeping the agreement, and I apologize to you."
Jiang Yuanshen said this cautiously, but Kurosawa took pity on the little face that suddenly turned a little red, but he suddenly calmed down.
She felt an unusually hot blockage in her throat, hooked her index finger into the arm of her cup, and tried to take another sip of coffee, only to find that there were only a few shallow drops inside.
"It's too late."
Kurosawa's depressed tone had a hint of bitterness, and in the end, he didn't say anything more to Jiang Yuanshen, picked up the small bag on the side and was about to leave.
The posture in which she left was extraordinarily free, and Jiang Yuanshen on the other side could even be described as embarrassed.
"Kurosawa-san, I know it's too much to not keep your promises"
"It's good that you know, but there's no need to apologize, Miss Ben doesn't care."
Kurosawa's words of pity turned into cold blades, piercing Jiang Yuanshen's chest.
The two of them went one after the other, and the customers in the store looked at him in unison and cast very disdainful glances at him.
Jiang Yuan looked at the white delicate back, and wanted to hold her hand very excitedly, but in fact, he and her were not even a couple.
She walked out of the door quickly, Jiang Yuanshen followed quickly, and the bell hanging on the door jingled several times.
"Kurosawa-san, me."
Kurosawa suddenly turned around, raised his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and interrupted him bluntly:
"Jiang Yuan, have you been harmed by the mimetic theory? My feelings are not so simple, do you think I will forgive you after spending a few hours from Chitori Island? I'm going to be touched by your apologies? Come on! This matter is far from being as simple as you think, it can't be solved by just apologizing, can you not deal with me so casually? In your heart, have I always been so easy to handle? In your eyes, am I someone who can accept just an apology? Not really! I'm small-minded! It's smaller than you think! ”
The wind carried her words into every corner of the pores, and Jiang Yuanshen stood in place like a statue, unable to say a word again.
Kurosawa's pity in front of him is extremely delicate, and his own dullness is also shown by her words to be worthless.
In particular, the word "processing" stung him inexplicably.
Kurosawa said too much in one breath, and the surging emotions in his heart were also mixed together, his face was flushed with excitement, and his chest continued to rise and fall.
From time to time, passers-by cast their eyes, and some even stopped to look at the two of them.
Kurosawa's eyelashes-covered eyes shimmered like a night-like hue she had never done on the streets.
In order to hide her embarrassment, she seemed to have given up, glanced at Jiang Yuanshen, and left without looking back.
Jiang Yuanshen lowered his head in the same embarrassment, and now catching up was more like messing around.
But what exactly is "processing"?
What can be done to make her understand that she is not "processing"?
The streets were bustling with people, and countless headlights were constantly passing through their eyes.
Jiang Yuanshen wandered in place for nearly half an hour, the lights on the street became brighter and brighter, and the people who came and went were also contaminated with a little alcohol.
"Can you please not just deal with me?"
Kurosawa's words of mercy came to mind clearly again, and Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stopped breathing, and he finally understood why Kurosawa said the word "treatment".
Although he had a lot of thoughts, in the end, he still had the purpose of "wanting to reconcile with her", but he left behind the real thoughts in his heart.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuanshen kept turning the bangs in front of his forehead back, and he really had to do it.
Finally, he took out his phone and called Kurosawa as he ran.
This time it was unexpected, and it didn't take long for her to pick it up.
"I've already said it"
Jiang Yuanshen didn't explain much, just looked at the time, panted and shouted into the microphone:
"It's still too late! Hurry up! Take a trip to Hibiya Park! This is the last time! It doesn't matter if you come or not! I'll be waiting for you! ”
