Chapter 134 The moonlight is so beautiful tonight and the wind is gentle
17:07 pm Tokyo time, All Nippon Airways n0, first class.
Due to weather conditions, the plane did not fly as scheduled. Sitting in the first-class cabin, Fujiwara Yuu played with the five-yen coin in his hand. Even though there was no expression on his face, he kept accelerating until the coin fell without noticing it.
This means that he is completely immersed in his own world and is in a more or less bad mood.
It's been 37 minutes since the agreed time. She should have gone home when she found no one responded and the phone couldn't be reached.
Hearing a woman's voice on the airplane announcement is nothing more than telling the plane that the plane is about to take off, asking all passengers to go to their seats, fasten their seat belts and not move around.
The plane quickly taxied on the runway and gradually left the ground. His body also reacted in microseconds, especially the ringing in his ears. He did not cover his ears with his hands like he did when he was a child, and his eyes always stayed on the distance.
ground.
At the moment of taking off, he also understood that he would miss countless seasons with her.
His spring, summer, autumn and winter will lose the most brilliant colors.
Just like a general who loses his favorite war horse and can no longer gallop on the battlefield.
Buried deep in my heart, there were only three words left in the end, and that was - I'm sorry.
"...If I had known earlier, I would have loved her more."
If I could have known in advance that I would leave you today without saying goodbye, I should have loved you more and looked at you more.
He muttered regrets, then pretended to take out a newspaper and looked out the window...
This winter will be very cold.
——
October 7, 1996, Sunday.
In early October, Tokyo has completely shaken off the tail end of summer. Miyano Akemi, who originally wanted to go out wearing only a sailor uniform, was worried about the cold weather at night, so she prepared a khaki sweater and cardigan for herself, which could be tied to her waist if she felt hot.
time, I am not impressed by the fashionable combination.
As the bell rang for the last class, Miyano Akemi ran out of the school with brisk steps as usual, but today she did not have a letter sent to her sister in her hand. In order to go to Dorobiga Paradise with Fujiwara Yuu,
She specifically communicated with her sister in letters on Sunday last month, and Shiho also expressed that he wanted her to have fun.
Of course, Miyano Akemi was afraid that Shiho would worry about her, so she told her sister a little lie, telling her that she was going with a female friend. If she made the appointment in the evening and went to the amusement park with a boy at night, she would definitely do it.
I'm so worried that I want to fly directly from the United States to Japan.
She quickened her pace while confirming the time on her phone. After all, she was the one who proposed to go to Dorobiga Paradise. Being late must be a bad behavior, because she and Fujiwara Yuu are both very time-conscious people, so both of them would
Arrive early habitually. If you are late, the other party will have to wait for a long time.
No. 117, No. 118, No. 119... No. 120!
Miyano Akemi, who finally arrived at the door of Fujiwara House, did not choose to knock on the door, but took out her mobile phone to send a text message.
However, five minutes passed and she still did not receive a reply.
Miyano Akemi wanted to stand on tiptoes but remembered that both the gate and the walls of Fujiwara Residence were so high that she could see inside even if she stood on tiptoes. She tilted her head and murmured to herself:
"Are you busy? It doesn't look like you are at home."
She looked at the time displayed on her phone. Maybe Fujiwara-kun was delayed at the police academy. Fuchu City was still quite far away from Aipido Town. Thinking of this, she did not choose to call because she knew that half a year's worth of luggage should not be there.
If he has less luggage, he will have to free his hands to answer the phone. If there is a lot of luggage, this action will be very inconvenient.
The considerate Miyano Akemi squatted directly at the door of Fujiwara House and waited silently. Unfortunately, God was not kind to her. It rained not long after, which made her mood drop to the bottom.
If it rains, we will definitely not be able to go to the amusement park. It seems we will have to wait until next time.
But Fujiwara-kun will probably be very busy after becoming a police officer. Thinking of this, Miyano Akemi had to sigh secretly, but just when she took out her mobile phone to see what time it was, the old lady holding an umbrella noticed her and walked up
Come and smile kindly:
"Little sister, didn't you bring an umbrella to hide from the rain? Why don't you come with me? I have extra umbrellas for you."
"Grandma, thank you for your kindness, but I am not hiding from the rain, I am waiting for the owner of this house to come home." Miyano Akemi smiled and rejected the grandmother's kindness, and proactively said: "Grandma, do you want me to take you home?
Is the thing in your hand easy to carry?"
The old lady didn't answer, but looked at the nameless door sign next to her with a confused face.
She knew who lived on this street, but she didn't know much about this family. But it didn't matter if she didn't know, because when she went out to have a party with her little sisters, she saw the young man who lived here dragging his suitcase into the car.
scene.
The old lady who likes to watch family ethics dramas at 8pm immediately thought of the cause and effect, so she immediately said sincerely:
"Little sister, I advise you to go home. The young man from this family left with his suitcase a long time ago. It doesn't look like he plans to come back. At least he won't be back for a while."
suitcase?
Miyano Akemi was stunned when she heard this. She picked up her phone in disbelief and clicked on the number at the top of her address book. Unexpectedly, the response she got was to turn off her phone. So, is what the old lady said true?
It wasn't that he was too busy and didn't see the text message, but he had no intention of replying and even turned off his phone to prevent himself from making a call.
"Little sister? Why don't you go back with me to get the umbrella?"
"No, grandma, I'll wait here for a while."
The old woman raised her eyes and noticed the firmness in the girl's eyes. She recalled the loss she felt after chasing love to no avail when she was young. As an experienced person, she could only shake her head and did not reply, but she put the umbrella in her hand aside.
Because she lives next door, you won't get caught in the rain even if you walk a few steps. So it's better to give the umbrella to someone who needs it more. Otherwise, it would be too miserable to fall out of love and catch a cold temporarily.
Miyano Akemi knelt down again and waited at the door for more than ten minutes. Her cell phone kept calling his number, but there was still no response.
It seemed that it was consistent with what grandma said. He left without saying a word, actually choosing to leave without saying goodbye.
It was his life goal to become a police officer. What was he thinking when he chose to take off his police uniform and leave on his graduation day? And what happened that she didn't know about.
Miyano Akemi did not pick up her umbrella, but ran directly to the street in the rain, looking at the high wall she had climbed over. It was also the first time she saw him sitting on the wall, wearing a kyudo uniform, clean and tidy.
She took a few steps back, then jumped up with help, but the rain made the wall slippery, and she would have fallen if she hadn't had good balance.
Miyano Akemi, who was sitting on the wall, looked in and saw that there was no white figure in the archery dojo. It was completely different from the scene when they first met. The lawn was already withered and yellow, and it was so watered by the rain that she couldn't stand straight up.
She looked down at the height that she didn't dare to jump to at that time. This time, there was no one to catch her below.
The rain continues to fall, with no intention of stopping.
——"It is very dangerous to break into the archery dojo without permission, don't you know?"
I can still hear him preaching expressionlessly when they first met. He was even very straight, asking how long he would sit on the wall of his house. At that time, Miyano Akemi really wanted to ask: Don't you think
Should you help me get down first?
But now there is no such person to teach me, let alone someone to climb a tree to help me take down the envelope.
Miyano Akemi didn't sit still for long. After she was sure that something wouldn't happen, she closed her eyes and jumped down.
Naturally, the ending was that she fell to the ground in embarrassment, and her carefully prepared clothes were stained by the mud. She quickly stood up and did not cry like a delicate girl, but just raised her hand to wipe away the muddy water that splashed on her face.
Miyano Akemi walked quickly to the left and turned the door handle. It was locked. She turned around and looked at the stone eagle next to the gate. If she remembered correctly, he would put the key to the door on the stone eagle.
The eagle's mouth.
She walked forward and reached into the stone eagle's mouth. Sure enough, there were more than one key inside.
When he fumbled for the two keys, Miyano Akemi also understood that what grandma said was correct. I'm afraid he really didn't plan to come back. Otherwise, why would he put all the keys to the house here?
I don't know what kind of mood I had in mind, so I inserted the key, turned the door handle, and slowly pushed the door open.
——"The temperature is dropping sharply in the evening, so it's better to come indoors."
Miyano Akemi's hand on the doorknob couldn't help but shrink inwards. Whenever he was around, she would think of what he said to her. Did she like Fujiwara-kun to this extent?
She looked at the dust on the shoe cabinet. It was obvious that no one had cleaned it, which meant that he left in a hurry.
As I walked toward the living room, I smelled the faint fragrance of lemon. Looking down, I noticed the broken glass residue on the wooden floor. The water stains had not dried up in this cool weather.
What exactly happened here? We don’t know.
Miyano Akemi noticed that there was a book on the coffee table, and that the coffee table had been wiped deliberately. There were obvious rectangular marks on the floor on the side where the books were placed. It was because the dust had been covered with something, causing the color of the dust to become lighter.
.
She sat on the sofa and picked up the book. The cover clearly read "The Complete Works of Natsume Soseki. She likes to read modern literature and naturally knows who Natsume Soseki is. You must know that the face of Natsume Soseki is still printed on the one thousand yen banknote."
Therefore, the traces on the ground were left by the suitcase, and the book should have been in the suitcase but was not taken away.
Would that be left for yourself? But why would you leave a book for yourself?
Miyano Akemi opened the page and saw a line of elegant fonts in the blank space, which read five words: To Masami Saito.
She couldn't wait to scroll down, and she didn't notice the white bookmark sandwiched inside until the middle part.
There was a light pink Yae Sakura on the bookmark. Under the bookmark were two tickets to Dorobiga Paradise. It was obvious that she had made an appointment with someone in advance to purchase them. But these were not what Miyano Akemi cared about. She saw
Reading the words on the bookmark, I was reluctant to look away.
The moon is beautiful tonight.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, mist gathered in her sapphire blue eyes, and the rain on her hair dripped onto the page as she lowered her head. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
She didn't know why he left without saying goodbye, but she could tell that he had a reason and it was not intentional. This unprocessed glass shard was the best answer.
She carefully put the bookmark back to its original position, walked to the bathroom and used a hair dryer to dry the rain-stained sweater and cardigan, then wrapped "The Complete Works of Natsume Soseki" in it and hugged it in her arms.
The key was put back into the stone eagle's mouth, he pushed open the heavy door, and picked up the umbrella given to him by his grandma.
I walked around Jishuitan and walked towards home. After a few steps, the rain stopped.
Miyano Akemi couldn't help but raise her head and look at the moon hanging in the night sky. Perhaps because the heavy rain had just stopped, there was a faint halo around the full moon, giving it a hazy and beautiful feeling.
She rarely raised her head to look at the moon, but today she really wanted to look at it more.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight.
The wind is also gentle.
She withdrew her gaze, looked at the steps in front of the apartment, and whispered to herself:
