The sky and sea are snow-blue, the green of the rice paddies is boundless, and the clouds that cross the horizon are as white as ever.

Jiang Yuanshen's sleeves swelled under the wind, and Zichuan Xiaokong beside him changed into a clean casual suit.

He kicked off his chin and beard, washed his face seriously, used the leftover facial cleanser from last year, and finally sprayed some very fragrant men's perfume.

The two were at the bus stop, waiting for a bus every hour.

"Jiang Yuan, look there-"

Azusa Kawa Xiaokong pointed ahead, and Jiang Yuan looked in the direction he pointed, but it was Shuangjin Port that was being renovated.

After the last major earthquake, Shuangjin Port looks like it is decades old after the tide recedes, and most of the exposed steel and railings have been exposed to rust after the erosion of the sea.

While the summer sun treats all things equally, it's still a bit creepy.

"If we get back up and running, it will take a lot of time." Jiang Yuanshen said this, and the black cicada was chirping loudly.

Does the government of Chitorishima have the financial resources to revive the island? Will Jinghai Yaren choose to continue to hot face and stick to the cold ass of the capitalists?

What if there was another earthquake? If the things that were built are destroyed again, will those capitalists still be willing to invest in the time bomb of Chitori Island?

When the time comes, I am afraid that Bird Island will fall into a situation where the water is exhausted, the money is exhausted, and the people are exhausted.

"No, I'm not talking about Shuangjin Port, look at that." Azusa Kawa Takaku's head leaned forward slightly, and his hand pointed forward.

Jiang Yuanshen frowned, and on the folds of his ears, there was a faint sound of wind.

He caught a glimpse of two dragonflies flapping their wings in the space, and when they went up and down, the shape of slightly brown wings finally expanded.

"What's wrong?"

"Dragonflies are so powerful that they can mate while flying."

Azusa Kawa sat on the aluminum bench, his arms resting on his legs, staring at the two dragonflies and whispering,

"The male dragonfly will grasp the neck of the female dragonfly with a hook-like object at the end of the abdomen, and the female dragonfly's abdomen will bend from the bottom to the front, and connect the genital hole to the sperm-storing organ below the second segment of the male dragonfly's abdomen, and then the male dragonfly will inseminate him."

His hands clenched into fists under the bridge of his nose, Jiang Yuan carefully straightened his waist, squinted at him and said:

"Are you nervous?"

Before going out, he told Azusa Kawa Takaku about the fact that Ye Jian Xun Yu was still alive and was now at Jinghai's house.

Incredibly, he didn't show madness, but instead showed a hesitant look.

"Nervous? Belch? I? Azusa Kawa Xiaokong pretended to explain unhurriedly, but those two legs couldn't be used, "I won't be nervous, I'm middle-aged, will I still be nervous when I see an old friend?" ”

Jiang Yuan looked at his marble-like brown eyes cautiously, perhaps everyone diverted their attention differently.

This person likes to fill in the gaps with the things around him, spending a lot of so-called knowledge to tell the origin and function of "things", to hide the special area in his heart that he will never be open and honest with others.

Jiang Yuanshen's gaze fell between the cracked stone slabs, and the tiny ants inside were heading one after another to a deep small hole.

"Even if you meet Jinghai Yaren, you are not allowed to be angry, from now on, he is better than you, and you have no reason to be angry."

The straightforward words made Azusa Kawa Takaku suddenly dumbfounded, but he didn't know what to do, so he had to look in the direction where the bus came.

The young man next to him was right, because of reality, he left the night to see Xun Yu and left Zhiniao Island.

In the time that followed, he completely cut off contact with her, and didn't even know that she had given birth.

For Yemi Xunyu and Jinghai Shenyue, Jinghai Yaren is a passport that allows the two of them to live a comfortable life, and making Shenyue surnamed Jinghai is a means for Yemi Xunyu to bind this passport.

She's always like that, looking at things from different angles and finding trade-offs out of them.

Azusa took out the cigarette case from the pocket of his jacket, and when he thought that the "passport" was not him, he felt indescribable emotions in his heart.

He realized in an instant that he was embarrassed to the point where he had no reason to see her.

When the cigarette was already between his fingers, Azusa Kawa Koku suddenly stopped his movements and put the cigarette back into the cigarette case.

Coincidentally, the orange bus was driving at a speed of almost 80 yards, and on Chitori Island, the bus drivers didn't know what speeding was.

The bus slowly stopped in front of the two of them, and when the door opened, Azusa Kawa Takaku felt uneasy again.

Jiang Yuanshen and Azusa Kawa sat side by side in the last seat.

Outside the window, the blue sea is glittering, and a flock of petrels soars in the air.

"Is your skin a little tanned?" Azusa Kawa Koku, who was beside him, suddenly asked.

Jiang Yuanshen raised his arm, and indeed as he said, the place where the arm and shirt were covered had a strong color contrast:

"I don't really want to wear sunscreen."

"Oh."

Azusa Kawa nodded indifferently, and the bus drove to the next stop, which was very fast, and when driving through the uneven asphalt road, both of them would have a pain in their butts.

"You don't really want me to go with you, do you?"

"Let me face the two queens alone, it is difficult for some strong people."

"It takes some courage to run to that place alone."

Azusa Kawa Takaku sighed and leaned back in his chair as the bus along the prefectural road kept shaking.

"If you can, I hope you can persuade you to see the queen at night." Jiang Yuanshen said.

"Persuade?" Azusa Kawa Koku smiled self-deprecatingly and said embarrassedly, "Impossible." ”

"People are creatures that can only survive by communicating."

"Generally speaking, yes."

Azusa Koku smiled stiffly, and the deep "she is the exception" in his throat did not speak.

Jiang Yuan looked out the window cautiously, there were several girls on the side of the road, the white sailor suit reflecting the sunlight, and the dark blue skirt was pulled up above the knees.

He suddenly remembered that he shook the apricot, and she had been with Naoko Takimitsu recently.

Jiang Yuanshen closed his eyes and said in a helpless tone: "We are too ordinary, and now seeing us at night is our biggest variable." ”

I don't want to rely on her." Azusa Kawa Koku let out a grumble with a sigh.

"Now it's not a matter of liking it or not, whether we want to do it or not, we have few cards in our hands, so we have to make good use of it."

◇

Jiang Yuanshen and Azusa Kawa Takaku came to Jinghai's house.

The courtyard is like a house in a fairy tale, with flowers and plants competing with each other, looking like they are being maintained all night for Snow White.

"Jiang Yuan, do you love my daughter?" Azusa Kawa looked at the house in front of him and asked coldly.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help laughing, but still responded: "I just fell out of love not long ago, and I'm still in a bad mood. ”

"Just fell out of love and came to find another girl, I don't think you're much better than me."

"My troubles are serious."

He stopped at the door of Jinghai's house and rang the doorbell, but no one responded.

At first, Jiang Yuan thought that there was no one at home, but at this time, the sound of twisting the doorknob came from the entrance.

The sound of the door opening did not drag a little, and the man's face subconsciously appeared in his mind.

Just as Jiang Yuan had predicted, a Jinghai Yaren wearing silver glasses frames, but today he was wearing home clothes, was standing at the door.

He held the newspaper in one hand, looked at Jiang Yuanshen and Zichuan Xiaokong, his eyes narrowed slightly, but there was no trace of panic, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly:

"Azusa Kawa Xiaokong, I thought you would run away in disgrace, but I didn't expect to dare to come."

“.” Azusa Kawa didn't speak, just peeked at him with an expressionless face.

Jiang Yuan said calmly: "Mayor Town, I brought Zichuan over to apologize to you. ”

Azusa Kawa Xiaokong looked at Jiang Yuanshen with a foolish look, but he put on a casual appearance.

The smile on Jing Hai Yaren's face suddenly retracted, and he stood at the entrance, looking down at Jiang Yuanshen condescendingly, as if he was trying to figure out the deep meaning of this sentence.

"Heh, since you're here, come in, I'll make you a cup of tea."

He unexpectedly opened the door and deliberately took out two pairs of slippers.

Shizumi Masato walked into the living room, and Azusa Kawa Takaku said with a speechless face, "What are you thinking?" How could I possibly apologize to him? ”

"This kind of thing is the beginning of the matter, if you don't have something to talk about, everything will be difficult." Jiang Yuanshen put on his slippers, which were smaller than his own.

"I want to go back!"

Azusa Kawa Xiaokong gritted his teeth and looked outside as if he were running away, but Jiang Yuanshen reached out and grabbed his arm.

At the right time, the voice of Jinghai Yaren came from the living room: "Are you used to drinking Chinese tea?" ”

"Everything."

Jiang Yuan agreed without thinking about it, making Azusa Chuan Xiaokong on the side even more stupid.

The two stood on the corridor for a while, and Azusa Kawa came back with a tray.

"What are you still standing on? If you are seen by Xunqi, you will think that I am not good to you. ”

Hearing this, Azusa Kawa Takaku's face had an extremely surprised expression, and there was no anger hidden in it, only deep sadness.

Jiang Yuanshen pulled him to sit on the sofa, white and red flowers blooming in the glass teapot.

"It's a craft tea, the tea leaves are wrapped in flowers, and when you pour hot water like this, they will spread out and the flowers will bloom, and I like lilies and jasmine, and the combination with Chinese Pu'er tea is very good."

Masato Jinghai calmly looked at the flowers blooming in the light green tea, and only when the scenery was ripe did he pour tea for the two of them.

The fragrance of the flower tea is so moist that it makes people wonder if there are addictive illegal products added to it.

"Are you here to find my family?" Masato Shizumi sipped his tea leisurely, seemingly not minding the words used.

Jiang Yuanshen subconsciously spied on Azusa Chuan Xiaokong's expression, his cheeks bulged slightly, and his hands were clenched.

I can know very well the unhappiness of being touched by a pair of sticky hands, but I am helpless.

- Not only did I have to snatch my lover, but even my daughter had to snatch it, and it was indeed a bit too painful to say anything.

"Yes, I'm here to find Jinghai-san, is she here?" Jiang Yuanshen said.

From time to time, Masato Shizumi's eyes were aimed at Azusa Kawa Takaku, but when he saw that he was motionless like a puppet and didn't even drink tea, a long silence came.

"She's upstairs, with her mother—" Masato Shizumi muttered suddenly, "Xun Yu is teaching her how to behave in the world, after all, it is naïve and selfish to leave Zhitori Island on her own, so she needs to be disciplined."

Jiang Yuanshen was not stupid enough to say, "Oh, so that's the case", and accepted it with peace of mind.

"Can I see her?"

"Huh? Could your adoptive father get angry and scold you for "trying to get together with my daughter"? ”

Jiang Yuanshen was about to laugh, but Zichuan Xiaokong suddenly showed a serious expression and asked:

"Jinghai, what exactly do you want?"

Masato Jinghai closed her lips and just looked at him quietly.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said with the same serious expression: "On the contrary, I want to ask, Zichuan, what do you want?" ”

"Answer questions with questions?"

"My insignificance, no matter what you think, it's disgusting!"

Masato Shizumi and Azusa Kawa Takaku met their eyes, his brows furrowed into a figure-eight shape, and he said in an accusatory tone without hesitation,

"Xun Yu was only seventeen years old when she was pregnant, and you actually left her on the island to go to Tokyo to live a good life alone, I gave her and Shenyue a worry-free life, but now you want to take everything from me without paying?"

A look of pain appeared on Azusa Kawa Takaku's face:

"I didn't know she was pregnant at the time, and if I knew, I would have taken responsibility."

"You mean, if Xun Yu hadn't been pregnant, he wouldn't have been responsible?"

Jinghai Masato took a deep breath, his face suddenly turned red, and his fingers pinched the folds of the sofa fiercely,

"What makes me most unhappy is that since that day, Xun Yu has been considered by the islanders to be "the queen of the young puppet left over by someone", and it is unacceptable for this matter to appear to her! And you may be like adding a medal, complacently showing off your exploits in Tokyo, and when you think of it, I! I'll just ——! ”

His shoulders were shaking violently, his breathing was as thick as a buffalo, and it seemed that he would burst out in the next second, taking off his glasses and scuffling with Azusa Kawa Takaku.

Azusa Kawa Takaku's face was pale, and his body suddenly became empty, and in the face of Jinghai Masato's straightforward accusations, he could only accept them all like a prisoner.

Jiang Yuanshen knew very well that the words of Jinghai Yaren were mixed with admiration and admiration for the night seeker.

In his heart, the night is as beautiful as a pure white flower.

And the Azusa River Takaku who was defiled by the flowers, Jinghai Masato has never been able to forgive.

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, a white figure walked down the stairwell.

It is the deep moon of the still sea.

She walked over quickly, her gaze always falling on Jiang Yuanshen, without any deviation.

"Come up with me."

Jinghai Shenyue stretched out her hand to hold his wrist, Jiang Yuanshen was like a balloon, and she didn't have any weight when she pulled it.

In the eyes of the two adults, she took Jiang Yuanshen upstairs in a very direct way, and she was not stopped.
