"Sister, where have you been during this time?"

"I left Tokyo and lived in a small city - there, we don't have to live as tiredly as we do here in Tokyo, and the tenants and landlords treat me very well."

"Can I go take a look?"

"..."

"It's okay. If you can't go, you can't go. As long as you are by my side, sister, don't leave me..."

"Um."

The next day, Tang Xiaoke... no, it was Tang Xiaoya who came to the police station and took back his luggage and belongings. There were not many, just a small suitcase and a mobile phone.

She knew that she could not go back to Xiaojuan Xiongzhuang, because although her sister's mental state had improved slightly at this time, it was not stable. Although she knew that her sister would not do that kind of thing again, she was afraid that if something happened, she would

Drag Futaba Makoto down.

With little money on hand, Tang Xiaoya and her sister would not be able to live in a hotel or rent a house if they wanted to live in the city of Tokyo...it seemed more appropriate to live in an Internet cafe.

"It seems that I am going to become one of the [Internet cafe refugees]." Tang Xiaoya looked at the skinny sister next to her, her eyes filled with distress, "I'm sorry, Xiaoke."

Tang Xiaoke shook his head and just held his sister's arm, as if he was greedy for her warmth.

The so-called Internet cafe refugees are a product of the bubble economy of the times. They live in Internet cafes with little money as they wander outside, as if they regard cheap Internet cafes as their residence - because in Internet cafes in Tokyo or outside, not only are independent

There are rooms, free hot water, and even public bathing spaces.

In Tokyo alone, the number of Internet cafe refugees is as high as tens of thousands. They rarely go to work, rely on expired bento boxes from convenience stores to be thrown away for food, and rely on themselves to recover from illness. Their existence is somewhat similar to that of Tang Xiaoya and her country [

Sanhe Master] is a group of people who give up their efforts and choose to follow the crowd.

Sister Tang Xiaoya has not actually given up life, but in the city of Tokyo, if you want to find a place to live temporarily, there is no doubt that Internet cafes are a good place.

The sisters found an Internet cafe.

You can stay here for only 700 yen for one night, and it's for two people.

Tang Xiaoya came back from Fuyuki City with no money, but her sister still had some money with her, so she gave it to her for safekeeping.

After paying for three days, Tang Xiaoya recalled Xiaojuan Xiongzhuang for some reason.

You can live in that warm place for only 998 yen for a month, and you'll also have to take care of the food.

It is a dreamlike place.

It seems that after comparison, Tang Xiaoya felt that the 700 yen a day Internet cafe did not seem so sweet, and she was nostalgic for the beauty of the past.

As if he could see what his sister was thinking, Tang Xiaoke said, "Sister, have I hurt you?"

Tang Xiaoya reacted and shook her head quickly: "No, what are you talking about?"

After finishing speaking, she took her sister to the private room in the Internet cafe.

There are shelves for placing items on the side. The entire room is about less than five square meters in size. There are two computers on the floor table. The single rooms here are isolated by wooden boards and there is almost no sound insulation.

Looking up, the central air conditioner above was covered with dust, as if it hadn't been turned on for a long time.

There are several ropes and hangers above this private room, which seems to be used for drying clothes. The entire Internet cafe is filled with a damp smell, but the two sisters can obviously tolerate it.

They can endure hardships and have endured many hardships. When they first came to Tokyo, they even spent a night leaning on each other on a park bench.

"Have a good night's rest after taking a shower. I'll go find a job tomorrow," Tang Xiaoya said.

Although I still have some money on hand, I can't last more than a few days.

It is impossible to sit back and eat, and Tang Xiaoya will not let her sister eat expired lunch boxes from convenience stores.

"Sister, I'm going too." Tang Xiaoke said.

"Okay, let's go together." As if she was worried about what would happen if her sister was left alone, Tang Xiaoya readily agreed.

The next day, they left the Internet cafe to look for jobs.

Unsuccessful.

They didn't find jobs.

"The school festival is almost over." After returning to the Internet cafe, Tang Xiaoya, sitting on the mat, murmured something.

The farther she left that place, the more she missed Xiaojuan Xiongzhuang. This was a feeling Tang Xiaoya had never had before when she left home.

[If I had never seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.]

Tang Xiaoya only understood the meaning of the famous saying that her mother accidentally said when she was a child.

Yes, if you have never stayed in Xiaoxiongzhuang.

If you hadn't met him.

Tang Xiaoya lowered her eyes and inadvertently noticed her mobile phone - she hadn't opened it for several days.

After plugging in the power, the screen lights up.

Subconsciously opening the line, Tang Xiaoya accidentally discovered the message Futaba Cheng sent her.

[Futaba Makoto: I heard that you returned to Osaka. Did something urgent happen?]

…

[Futaba Makoto: After you left, everyone and Merlin missed you very much. When you get to Osaka, please continue to tell us that you are safe.]

…

[Futaba Makoto: Your phone seems to be turned off, but if you go to find your sister, Xiaoke, there shouldn’t be any problems on the way (laughs)]

[Futaba Makoto:Fireworks pictures.jpg]

[Futaba Makoto: The fireworks set off at the end of the school festival were beautiful, but it’s a pity that you didn’t see them... By the way, you can bring your sister over to play with you when you come back. Recently, Nana’s family sent a lot of delicious fruits to the countryside.

, this thing is too expensive and we can’t finish it.]

[Futaba Makoto: Then I wish you a smooth journey and remember to come back early.]

[Futaba Makoto: Photo of eating fruit.jpg]

"Crack."

It was the sound of tears falling on the screen of the mobile phone. Tang Xiaoke on the side noticed what her sister looked like at this time, and she quickly hugged her: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Xiaoya finally couldn't suppress her inner emotions and choked up softly.

The sound of crying did not make any waves in the Internet cafe, which was filled with the noise of typing on keyboards.

But she quickly wiped away her tears and comforted her sister beside her: "Xiao Ke, I'm fine."

"real?"

Tang Xiaoya suddenly said: "Well... Xiaoke, are you willing to leave Tokyo with me and go to Fuyuki?"

"Fuyuki?"

"Yes, I want to go back...I'm sorry, I seem a bit selfish."

Seeing her sister's appearance at this time, Tang Xiaoke's eyes softened for some reason. She gently stroked her sister's hair and said:

"I think those people must be very nice to you. Okay, sister, you can go ahead."

"I'll stay in Tokyo, so sister you don't have to worry about me." She smiled.

"No, I, I'll take you with me!"

"That's not possible."

"Okay!" Tang Xiaoya said very seriously at this time. She didn't know where she had the confidence to let Shuangye Cheng and the others accept their sister.

But she suddenly realized that if her sister could get to know Futaba Makoto and the others, she might be able to get out of the shadows and recover.

Even if I don’t live in Xiaoxiongzhuang, I just live on that street.

She believes it.
