"Happy newlyweds!"

On the company's rooftop, Hiroshi Furukawa received the blessings of his friends.

On the last day of the end of the century, this guy had a grand wedding with Junna Yukitake.

At the wedding, Hirosawa Furukawa changed from the appearance of a somewhat wooden and submissive worker, wearing a white suit, standing with Junna Yukitake in a white wedding dress, and the scene was really beautiful.

They had never seen Furukawa with such a happy face, and at that moment his life was complete, as if a dream had come true.

It's not just Furukawa's own dream, but also the hopes of other friends.

It really made Hayamigawa and Yamada envious.

Keisuke Kinoshita looked at him sympathetically.

Getting married is a fun process for everyone.

Everyone didn't seem to expect that Hiroshi Furukawa would come to this point with Junna Yukitake, and at this time last year, Hirosawa Furukawa was still struggling with how to propose to Junna Yukitake.

However, under the explanation of his friends, Furukawa has learned one thing so far-

It's just going with the flow.

"After all, I'm already a man who is almost 40 years old, and if I don't get married again, ah, I'm sorry, I'm not talking about you in Hayamikawa, you're just unlucky, you didn't meet the right one for you.

Of course, Yamada, you are also great, some things are destined by God, but she is still on the road of fate.

You're all going to meet the one you really like. ”

It can be seen that Furukawa Haoze is very happy, and he has no anxiety after marriage, and now his whole person is like falling into a honey pot, and every cell is full of sweet sugar water.

It's almost diabetic.

Masahru Yamada and Hayamigawa thought jealously.

However, as good friends, they are very happy and send their blessings to Hiroshi Furukawa and Junna Yukitake's new marriage.

"Okay, look at the look on your face, you don't need to make up for us."

Hayamigawa scolded and grinned.

"This guy Hayamikawa, since he was deceived by the Internet before, he is a little apprehensive now, and he is no longer interested in girls or anything."

Kinoshita Keisuke said with a smile.

"Shut up, I just didn't want to delay the rest of someone's life after becoming a scumbag like you."

Hayamigawa and Kinoshita began their daily bickering.

And Hirosawa Furukawa and Massaharu Yamada watched very excitedly from the side.

"Ah...... After a New Year, it feels like we haven't seen each other in a century. Furukawa Hirosawa leaned against the fence and looked at them with a smile.

A few people turned their heads and looked at him with a look of "are you an idiot".

That's when Hirosawa Furukawa realized, "Ah, it really seems like it's been a century." ”

"Stupid—ass—"

Keisuke Kinoshita dragged out a long note.

Everyone laughed at the same time.

"But, seriously, to some extent, I'm really envious, Furukawa, it's not that I see you and Junna so loving, of course, there are reasons for this, it's really jealous, for people like us, marriage is like bad news, a respite to a good single life.

Seriously, if it weren't for my wife forcing me to get married, I could have pretended to be stupid for the rest of my life. ”

"Come on, Kinoshita, you're a big carrot." Hayamigawa hit the nail on the head.

Kinoshita pursed his lips, noncommittal, probably accustomed to Hayamigawa's prejudice against him.

"What really makes me envious is that you chose to have your wedding on the last day of the end of the century.

Ah, December 31, 1999, what a monumental day. ”

Keisuke Kinoshita looked up at the sky. At this time, the sky was blue, white clouds, and a few small birds flew by.

From this distance, it's like a butterfly that keeps folding.

When the other two heard his words, they were also stunned, and then fell into a short silence.

"Yes, it's not just the end of the century, it's a super millennium wedding, and the next time it's like this, it's going to be 1,000 years away." Massaharu Yamada sighed.

"Who knows what it will be like in 1,000 years?"

"So! I really envy this guy Furukawa. ”

"I'm envious too."

"In addition to the world-recognized special anniversaries such as December 31, 1999 or January 1, 2000, there are two other particularly interesting dates invented by optimistic people in China.

Do you know what it is? ”

Furukawa said with a smile.

"What?"

"On January 4, 2013, there was a saying in China that I love you for a lifetime." Hirosawa Furukawa explained, "There is another one, which is April 4, 2033, and it is called [Love You Life and Death]"

"What is this?" A few people couldn't understand the homophonic stalk at all.

Mainly, this is a Chinese homophonic stalk.

"Haha, I also listened to my friends in China, and I have to say it in Chinese to understand, we can't know." Hirosawa Furukawa waved his hand.

These cold knowledge, and even some jokes from the Internet, are all because of the homework that Furukawa did when preparing for the wedding before, because choosing a date is also a very important thing.

As a result, I didn't expect to have so much interesting time.

Several people glanced at each other and smiled with some disdain.

But there was silence for about two seconds.

"In that case...... "Hayamigawa said leisurely, "January 4, 2013, almost 13 years away, and I will be 50 years old when I get married again." ”

"There's nothing wrong with getting married at the age of 50." Kinoshita smiled, "If I could, I'd love to swap lives with you." ”

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Then, my predecessors were almost 50 years old, and I was in my 40s at that time." Masaharu Yamada said.

"Getting married at the age of 40 is the golden age of a man, you know what." Kinoshita Keisuke said.

Although it was somewhat comforting, the two of them still seemed very happy to hear him say this.

"If it's April 4, 2033,"

Hayamikawa silently calculated, "Mom, I'm going to be 70 years old." I can't wait that long. ”

"Haha, I can't wait that long." Yamada followed.

"Damn! Why hasn't that person of mine come to me yet? If you can't get married in 2013, the next day like this will be in 2033!! ”

Hayamigawa shouted.

"It's 2033!!" Yamada also accompanied.

Several people laughed in unison.

After laughing for about ten minutes, tears came out of my eyes, and then I stopped.

"By the way, do you know how many years China will have to wait for the next such day after April 4, 2033?" Hayamigawa asked with some curiosity.

Furukawa Haozer thought for a moment and responded, "Don't say it, I really asked my Chinese friend to check it carefully this day."

The next day will be 50,000 years away. ”

"Huh?!" Everyone widened their eyes in unison, "50,000 years? Is it going to take that long? Isn't it even more powerful than the millennium? ”

"yes," Furukawa pouted, "I don't know what to think, it seems to say that the next date is January 4, 2013, and the Chinese side says that-

I love you for the rest of my life. ”

"Ah...... If you want to come up with such an interesting number, you have to wait 50,000 years. Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"But for human beings, it doesn't make a difference if the time span is more than 100 years, whether it's 52013 or 2113, in fact, we can't see it."

"Hahaha, that's true, more than we can reach."

"Life is short, get married early."

"yes, I'd better try to get married on January 4, 2013." Hayamigawa came to a conclusion.

……

"Anyway, why don't you play more time and come back to work so early?" Kinoshita Keisuke wondered.

After getting married a few years ago, Furukawa traveled to China with Junna Yukitake, wanting to see the birthplace of dragons and see the cultural stories that exist in legends.

It was also stimulated by Pokeni's "Dragon Hunt".

In short, the two of them had a lot of fun and saw the real pandas.

"A month of honeymoon is enough, no matter how long it is, it is easy to quarrel, and the journey is very happy, but I always feel very tired." Furukawa said, "The holiday is over, and the company is urging me to come back and fix the bug, so I won't be given any more time."

These damn capitalists. ”

"Ah...... Why am I so sour? ”

"This guy must be showing off, right?"

"Then you still need to ask?!"

Kinoshita stretched out his hand, hugged Furukawa, and pressed his head for a massage.

"Ah...... Pain...... Let it go, Kinoshita. ”

Hahahaha, these men don't look like middle-aged people who are almost 40 years old at all, but more like the stunned young people when they first entered the company.

However, everyone seems to be enjoying the time.

I just want time to pass more slowly.

"After getting married, Furukawa has already got a ticket to become a minister." Hayamigawa teased.

There were many promotion opportunities before, but they were missed by those who were not married.

It's true that companies prefer stable people.

"No, people like us, it's already the end of our time to be promoted to section chief. The ministerial level is simply an elusive existence. Keisuke Kinoshita said.

"Why? Didn't you say that as long as you get married, you can get the opportunity to be promoted? Furukawa-senpai has been the section chief for 5 years, right? It stands to reason that he should have been the only one. ”

"No, no, isn't Furukawa's minister still retired? That guy is only in his 50s now, so I guess there are still 20 years left. Kinoshita said.

"Well, it's quite serious to delay retirement now, and many people have been in their 70s."

"But, the most critical thing is -

We are innocent men, and we like to play games, so we can't fit into that group at all. ”

In between speaking, Kinoshita raised his head and glanced at the sky above.

Not......

That's true.

Everyone can't help but agree in their hearts: Sometimes there is an upper limit to the ceiling that everyone can mix, and then people may not take you to play, the key is that hard work and talent are useless, you have to mix into that circle.

A wooden programmer ape like Furukawa would not be able to please the people above at all.

……

"Wait, what's our main topic for today?"

"Game, game."

Masaharu Yamada said, "Pokeni's new game "AIR" is about to be released, why don't you get a copy? ”

"Of course," said Hayamigawa, "for those of us who don't have girlfriends, the greatest pleasure is to fall in love with the girl of our dreams in the game." ”

……

14 February 2000.

Valentine’s Day.

Pokeni's fixed galgame release date.

Although it's all galgame.,It's also a love affair with a beautiful girl.,It doesn't seem to be a problem to choose Valentine's Day release.。

But P always gives people the illusion of being full of malice.

On the one hand, most of the people who can come to the store to buy galgame during this day are single dogs who don't have girlfriends.

On the other hand,The galgame released by Pokeni,Where is falling in love with a beautiful girl?,It's just brewing a tragedy with a beautiful girl, okay?

Love is talked, in the game, but the result is not so good.

Although Pokeni repeatedly advertises that it is a warm and healing love story, it always gives people the impression of the opposite.

Isn't that full of malice?

……

"On the summer beach, meet a beautiful love."

At the entrance of the store is a promotional poster for "AIR", and the big slogan on it is inspiring.

Masasharu Yamada and a few people entered the store, and the store manager reserved games for them early.

At the checkout, a cold light flashed on the lenses of the store manager's glasses as he noticed the silver wedding ring on the ring finger of Furukawa's left hand.

Furukawa Hirosawa immediately felt a strong murderous aura.

I couldn't help but feel a chill all over my body.

"This guy is already married." Noticing the store manager's gaze, Kinoshita Keisuke said with a smile, "He's now, but it's the second month after the wedding." ”

"Ah, that's it, congratulations." The manager was surprised, but immediately turned into a smile.

Yes......

I really didn't expect that this guy not only had a girlfriend, but also got married in the end.

……

After purchasing the game disc, several people said goodbye to each other at the station gate with bags.

Although Furukawa and Kinoshita also have a lot of salaries, they have not bought a car until now, and they are more accustomed to commuting by train.

Yamada Masaharu is the same, huddled in the train, smelling the sweat of the men around him, and looking at the guys in suits who are carrying briefcases to and from work like him, he has a sense of realism that he is still alive.

Although it is such a repetitive and common life.

However, this is real life, and the world is like that.

Back at home, Massaharu Yamada put the AIR game disc into the DC game console.

AIR！

Initiate!

Perhaps the reason why the game is beautiful is because it is not real.
