After getting on the rubber boat at five o'clock, I tensed my body and looked very nervous. After the staff let go of the rope, I took a deep breath.

"Shixiao-chan, are you afraid of water?" Fukawa said soothingly, covering her clenched fist with his hand.

In her impression, she has never seen such water-shy behavior in Wu Geng. In the past, there were recordings of sports games where she had to bury her face in a water tank to hold her breath. Wu Geng's endurance time was about fifty seconds, which was neither too long nor too short.

.

"No, that's right," Wu Geng was a little embarrassed to say, "I think this place should have handrails." She gestured with her other hand beside her. "Having something to hold on to will make people feel more at ease."

"But it's not dangerous," Fukawa said with a smile, "Of course, if the show is being recorded, I might have to act a little more exaggerated."

"Whether it's dangerous or not is secondary. I just think it would be safer to have something that can be held on to a project that is difficult for tourists to control."

At this time, the kayak happened to pass a corner. Wu Geng screamed and tilted his body to one side, and was hit by the splash of water. He frowned slightly and looked at Fukawa, "Just take a look."

"It's just that your sense of balance is not good, Shixiao-chan," Fukawa said as she stretched out her hands toward Wugeng, "Do you want to hold on?" She smiled, "This way, Shixiao-chan, you will feel more at ease.

Bar."

Wu Geng hesitated a little, and cautiously raised his eyes to look at Fukawa, "Mai Mai... have you ever heard of the suspension bridge effect?"

Fukawa was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "Don't worry, we all have people we like, not to mention this is not a dangerous situation."

"That's true..." Wu Geng tilted his head, stretched out his hand and held Fukawa's hand.

Whenever the waterway turns or drops, Fukawa can feel the sudden force on Wugeng's hands. Their hands are tightly held together, like a whole body, sharing the instability of each other's bodies. This makes Fukawa think a lot, she feels

It's like a metaphor - a metaphor for her relationship with Hashimoto.

"Nanamin..."

Fukawa shrank slightly as if she had been electrocuted. She raised her eyes to look at Wugeng, but she actually frightened him.

"Sorry," Fukawa said, she moved her body slightly, "I have been sitting for a long time and my body is a little numb. What do you want to say, Shixiao-chan?"

"Oh, I just thought of a story Nanamin told me."

Fukawa nodded and waited for the next words.

"Nanamin told me before that the ancient Greeks believed that the earliest humans had four arms, four legs, and a head composed of two faces. They were rich and happy inside. Because of this completeness, the gods were very jealous, so he

Humanity was split in two, with one half becoming a man and the other half becoming a woman. Therefore, in order to return to that perfect state, human beings wandered the world day after day, hoping to find their original other half.

"

"I only read this story later in Plato's Symposium."

Wu Geng paused for a moment, raised the two hands holding Fukagawa, and said, "The current situation seems a bit similar, so I remembered it."

Fukawa pursed his lips, "I always feel... it's a somewhat sad story."

"Really?" Wu Geng shrugged his shoulders, "I'm a little envious. This may be a gift from the gods to mankind. He has given mankind a clear and only goal. All people come to this world with the goal of finding their own future.

Half of this ultimate meaning of life.”

"Is there meaning in life..."

Fukawa smiled bitterly. A whole composed of men and women, a complete, perfect, rich and no longer lacking whole. She couldn't describe what she felt in her heart at this moment. She just felt stuffy, and the water mist seemed to splash on her.

In his eyes, the scenery in front of him became blurry.

Maybe this is the answer she gave her.

The principles of this world are so unreasonable.

What is right and what is wrong? Fukawa can't tell the difference. Is it right if everyone says it is right? Is she on the wrong side? Those seemingly free things are shining with illusory light, but no matter how beautiful they are,

Things also need to rely on reality and be rooted in reality.

Nanamin was right, she thought. It had been that way from the beginning.

Fukawa was like a death row prisoner before execution. She closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate. In the darkness, the subway roared, slowly driving away with Hashimoto, whose expression could not be seen clearly. Fukawa stood there, just watching, and could only watch.

, if this is the ending that Hashimoto hopes for, it would not be a bad idea to cut off this seemingly nonexistent expectation.

"But that's not what I want to say."

Wu Geng's words regained Fukawa's attention, and she raised her head in surprise.

"That's not what I want to say, Mai Mai." Wu Geng said.

Even though she didn't experience the curve, she still held Fukawa's hand tightly.

This may be a bit troublesome. After all, she has troubles with her own problems, and now she still has the energy to care about others. Wu Geng found it ridiculous. She thought of what Nishino had said, and became more and more sure that Nishino's criticism of her was correct, even more so than before.

She herself had to be right. But only this time, she thought Nishino would not blame her.

"Actually, Nanamin was wrong." Wu Geng said.

"...Wrong?" Fukawa murmured as if to himself.

"Yes, Nanamin was wrong, she remembered it wrong," Wu Geng said. Her expression was so serious that Fukawa believed her words in an instant.

“In the Symposium, there are three types of complete people: men, women, and hermaphrodites. The gods split them in half, so the complete hermaphrodites became incomplete men and incomplete people.

A complete man has become two incomplete men, and a complete woman has become two incomplete women. Everyone is looking for their other half, and there is no gender distinction."

"Nanamin only remembered part of it. She thought it was all. In fact, she just remembered it wrong."

"The original text in the book says, 'We were originally complete, and now we are also looking forward to and pursuing this completeness. This is the so-called love.'"

"Maimai, Nanamin didn't reply to you. She said that she can't hate you from a personal point of view, but she said that she can't accept you from the perspective of other members and the team. Maybe even she herself didn't realize this."

The sounds around her gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of Wu Geng becoming more and more clear. Fukawa even felt her own breathing and heartbeat. She was not sure if this was an hallucination caused by too much concentration of consciousness, but she did

I heard Wu Geng say:
Chapter completed!
