Saitama City, Urawa Ward, Arashiyama Town.

Clouds and veils slowly swept across the moon.

After many years of radiating from the heart of the city, Saitama is no longer the backward area it used to be, and all kinds of related facilities are perfect, and it is even the place where you want to live the most.

Although it is far worse than Tokyo in all aspects.

But there is no shortage of places like bars.

Maybe it's not late at night, and unlike the heavy metal music that attacks the heart, the whole bar plays soft music, and the fuchsia light floats non-stop, and the atmosphere is hazy as if covered with a layer of mist.

The smell of tobacco and alcohol was strong, and there were already many people in the booths in the hall, men and women.

The girls are talking together, they don't look too old, and the men are constantly trying to play games and persuade them to drink, and the concept of time is very vague here, as if only then can we see youth slipping through their fingers.

"How's it going, are you still adapting?"

Laughter came from afar, and Akiji Shirakawa, with yellow hair, leaned over and poked him with his elbow, while holding up the cup with his other hand to signal.

Takitanizawa withdrew his gaze from a distance, looked at the familiar face in front of him and smiled, "No problem." ”

Seeing this, he also picked up the wine glass in front of him.

Probably a lot of ice cubes were put in, and a thin white mist came out of the walls of the cup, and it felt slightly cool when held in the fingertips of the hand.

The two smiled and clinked glasses and took a sip.

"By the way, how did you open up?" Shirakawa Akiji was relieved when he saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, and then took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, handed it in his direction and smiled: "I didn't come with you before." ”

This is not a lie, he has the impression that Takitanizawa has never come to this kind of place, and this time he took the initiative to arrange with him, which is indeed a bit of a breakthrough in cognition.

And he hadn't seen him for a few months, and Shirakawa Akaji looked him up and down and found that this guy had changed a lot.

In the past, even when I went out to eat and drink with myself and a few friends, I always wore that set of gray work clothes, but now I actually wore a black jacket and gray cropped suit pants, although it can be seen that it is not new, but the whole person is a lot cleaner, and I have become smiling.

If he hadn't seen the cocoon on Takitana's palm, he would have almost thought that he was possessed by some monster.

Shirakawa Akiji was amazed in his heart, and Takitanizawa was also looking at him at the same time, constantly comparing with the person in his memory, this person was thin and small, not tall, but his face was quite white, and he was also a rare makeup party among men, and he made oily hair and powder all day long.

There is no change in this face in my memory, and my personality is very different, my hobby is to socialize with girls, and there are no less than four palms of girls in my memory from high school to college, although I am a hard injury, but the money in my pocket and that face are passable, plus I take the initiative, it is not difficult to find a girlfriend, but the wind is poor.

It seems that this product went to a nightclub to play in college and made the two girls' stomachs bigger, and they didn't negotiate compensation with others, and they were exposed in a post on the campus forum.

And then after the girls went viral, he was directly rumored to be a disgusting scumbag who played with women and made dozens of bellies bigger since he was in high school, and it is said that he later wanted to chase everyone and retreated in fear, just like a nightmare that could have a thirty-eight weeks pregnant when he touched it.

"People always grow up."

Takitanizawa responded with a smile, took the cigarette and didn't light it, and asked, "When will they arrive?" ”

"In such a hurry? It seems that he has really grown up. ”

Shirakawa Akiji muttered, scratched his messy yellow hair, raised his wrist to look hard at his watch in the dim environment, and then turned his head and said:

"It's about ten minutes, I'm pulling you temporarily in this bureau today, and there are other people, but whichever one you like can take the initiative directly, people won't rob you, they're all adults, and there's not so much to do."

Takitanazawa nodded, expressing understanding: "I'm just here to make friends, and I don't have any other ideas." ”

He wasn't expecting a sweaty night.

It's not that it's dirty, but his purpose is to solve the problem of quantity, to see if he can pick the right person from the girls he contacts to thicken his wallet.

If you really want to play adult games.

A girl who met in such a place.

I guess I'll have to pay for it myself.

Takitanizawa didn't think he was handsome enough to let the girl open the room, and he waited for himself with his own security measures.

If you don't have to pay for it, you can consider it.

After all, if you don't pay for it, it's not called playing a game.

"Then you still said to find a more generous girl!?"

Shirakawa Akiji glared, thinking that he was joking, and after cutting it, he said, "Don't worry, there are two generous ones today, I'm afraid you can't bear it." ”

He snorted twice and picked up his glass.

Then he glanced at the girls in the booths around him, as if looking for a target.

In a place like a bar, it's not just about being able to communicate with the girl you have dated, but also vice versa, after all, everyone who comes to play has lost their daytime disguises, and the more embarrassed you are, the easier it is to be seen as a joke.

The waiting time is for recreation.

Takitanizawa swiped his fingers on his phone, still not giving up the money he spent on those dating apps, and at the same time chatting with Shirakawa Akaji without a match.

He now belongs to the Eat a Trench and grow a wisdom.

Knowing that online dating is inherently a membrane barrier, it is extremely sensitive to the word money.

So now he's doing what he likes.

Even if you meet offline, you have to talk to a certain extent to achieve it, and letting others spend money for yourself is undoubtedly a cross-level technical problem, but Takitanizawa has enough patience as a hunter, otherwise it will be in vain.

"How's your work going?" Takitanizawa casually asked, for adults who have left the ivory tower, they still talk about work in their leisure time.

"Old, what else can I do under my father, and he always threatens to send me to Hokkaido to grow corn, well, I'm actually quite interested."

Shirakawa Akiji's family opened a small agricultural wholesale purchasing company, and the other party's father seems to be a member of the Saitama Agricultural Association, although he is not a major figure, but he is not an ordinary person to be able to enter.

The full name of the agricultural cooperative is the agricultural cooperative union, and its main business scope is insurance, finance and procurement business, and the people in it are very different from ordinary farmers.

After all, even if you want to become a social animal, you have to work hard to get into a good university, and then get the corresponding qualification certificate in order to find a job.

In fact, many people get one thing wrong, even if undergraduate education is not basic education, but with the changes of the times, it also has a considerable foundation, in other words, a bachelor's degree is just to become an ordinary person in line with the trend of the times, after all, the word college student is not new.

"Experience the taste of the Snow Maiden of the North?"

Takitanizawa replied casually thinking about these things.

"You guy!" Shirakawa Akiji slammed the cup down and gave a thumbs up: "It's really accurate to see people!" ”

Although he is not a serious rich second generation, he doesn't have to worry about the situation at home, and he doesn't have any big skills, so if he doesn't eat and wait for death, do you still want to go to graduate school?

What's more, now that the economy is so sluggish, he and the girl are intimate enough to spend some money to stimulate the economy.

Shirakawa Akiji is naturally more optimistic and has a clear position for himself, but remembering Takitana's previous work, he hesitated and then asked:

"I haven't seen you for a few months, Aze, you've changed too much, but it's also a good thing, are you still working in the factory in the North District? Or you can come to work with me, and it's easy to write a form every day. ”

"I'm not over there anymore, I don't have a job now, just go to your side, I plan to open a small shop by myself."

"Open a store?" Shirakawa Akiji was stunned when he heard this answer, but he didn't say anything, and after a moment of silence, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, if you have any trouble, just tell me, I will try to help if I can." ”

Although he also relies on the shadow of his father, he has no ability, but if he borrows some money, or Takitanazawa opens a store and goes to the district office to go through some formalities and is stuck, these are not big deals, and it can still be solved by selling face or asking his father to help.

"Okay." Takitanizawa responded with a smile, and happily accepted the other party's promise that he could help.

Friendship does not have to be maintained by interest.

But it is necessary to help each other out.

"Besides, thank you so much for today's incident."

Takitanizawa thanked him again.

"Thanks for what? Didn't I just find a bureau to call you, and it just so happened that I haven't been in a good mood lately. ”

Shirakawa Akiji shook his head and sighed.

"You're in a bad mood? What's bothering? ”

Takitanizawa couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.

I have the impression that the other party belongs to the optimist.

Probably since high school, I realized that I don't have to continue to work hard, and I actually see many things very openly, and I really rarely see him distressed in my memory.

"What else can I do but be a woman?"

Shirakawa Akiji took the wine glass and drank it all, smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "I fell out of love a while ago, that woman turned me green, and she was deceived by just two bags, although I was very disdainful, but I was very unhappy, so I called a stranger that night, and planned to pay her to talk to me." ”

Takitanizawa rubbed his chin, looked at each other with a slight raised eyebrow, and asked undeniably, "And then?" ”

"Then I don't know what's going on, as soon as she entered the room, she began to take it off, I told her not to worry, accompany me out to eat something, but when I ate, I served her vegetables, and she gently wiped my mouth, and then we went to the movies, and talked a lot."

"I know that her family situation is not good, her parents left when she was very young, and there is a lonely younger brother at home, in order to help her brother go to school, she worked several jobs and worked night games to play many occupations."

"Later, basically she was talking to me, I was drinking alone, I met a little girl selling flowers on the way, I also bought her a bouquet of flowers, and when I went back to the hotel, I asked her to take a shower, I went down to buy something first, and then I didn't go back."

At this he paused, took out the lighter and lit the cigarette, and the brown smoke emitted an orange flame.

He took a deep breath and let out a long breath after a moment.

Shirakawa Akiji's eyes were a little lonely, and the silky wisps of smoke swirled up, floating on his face, as if he felt a little guilty, and his arm holding the cigarette was on the table, and he shook his head slightly and continued to sigh:

"Later, she looked for me all over the world like crazy, and kept calling and texting me, even if she was blocked, she also tried to add various software through my mobile phone number, and she must meet again, saying that she will not be doing this job in the future."

Before Takitanizawa could speak, he suddenly asked, "Do you say that such a girl is a good girl?" ”

He's twenty-two years old this year, he didn't go to college, his family paid him Surugadai University, and he had nothing to do before and after graduation, and his life was almost all arranged, and only his marriage had not yet been decided.

But when it comes to marriage, he has more concerns than anyone he knows, after all, he has seen a lot and played more than others, and he knows the darkness in the hearts of those girls.

And he didn't want to lock the shared bicycle, which is not to say that asking others is complete, after all, what can he ask for this rotten cabbage, he is afraid that people will prepare a surprise after marriage, saying that she is also a victim, and even asks himself to be considerate and considerate of her.

Takitanizawa didn't answer the question he asked, but asked him a question with a smile: "I don't know if it's a good girl, but she's looking for you all over the world, so you didn't pay at the time, right?" ”

Shirakawa Akiji was slightly stunned, as if he remembered something: "Uh, pay, it seems that I didn't pay..."

He frowned and thought about it carefully, it seemed that the money he had said was indeed not given to her, and he invited her to dinner and watch a movie, and he even bought him a drink.

"That's right, the answer has been found."

Takitanizawa spread his hands, and said in a slightly helpless tone: "People are in business, of course you didn't pay, of course they desperately looked for you, even if you didn't do anything with others, but other people's time was all spent on you, and you can't blame others, it's you who want to express your feelings, and I guess I'm going to beat you when I find you." ”

Shirakawa Akiji's face was wooden when he heard this, and he was still sad to die, but he didn't expect it to be like this!

Co-authoring yourself is white moved!

But even if I didn't pay, I didn't do anything to her at the time, and invited her to dinner and watch movies, so I was looking for me all over the world, and I persuaded her to go to graduate school!

"Really, I'm really..."

After learning the truth of the matter, Shirakawa Akatsugu began to grab his hair in distress, but he was even more depressed than just now, and he didn't say anything, just sat there with a puff of cigarette, and the cigarette butt was lit and extinguished.

It wasn't until the cigarette butt was burned that it was burned to the mouth, and Shirakawa Akiji hurriedly threw it away, and quickly touched the cold wine glass.

Takitanizawa laughed a little, helped him ask the bartender for a pile of ice cubes to put on his mouth, and then began to check his phone again to call the starting time, but this time before two minutes had passed, he heard Shirakawa Akiji whisper a reminder.

"Here they are."

After the voice fell, Takitanizawa raised his head and looked not far away at the neon lights, four women and three men dressed in fashionable clothes, talking and laughing and walking towards this side.

He sat on the booth sofa and looked at the group.

Dressing is biased towards urban beauty, and most of the girls carry brand-name bags, although those who carry good bags are not necessarily rich, but they definitely have a lot of desire for money, which makes him sigh when he is not in college.
