Lu Mingfei looked at Eriyi in front of him. He thought for no reason about the tragic woman known as the "Skinner" he had met in New York City, and also thought of the classic American movie - "The Truman Show"
》.
The meaning of "The Truman Show" is that it is a false world constructed by others. Everything around you may be false, including the TV series you watch, your lover, the passers-by you pass by every day... and even you.
Your entire life, everything has been covered with a camouflaged green screen by the people behind the scenes. Countless camera lenses are facing you, and countless pairs of eyes are hiding behind the camera to spy on your life. Your life has been turned into a...
A funny show.
And isn't this what Eriki's life is like? The Kakiki Hachi family is like a huge green screen covering her life. Masamune Tachibana, who is like a father to her, is the person hiding behind the scenes, seemingly treating her in every possible way.
He loves and protects girls, but in fact he harbors extremely malicious greed for girls, just like evil spirits coveting delicious flesh and blood.
Just like Truman may never get out of the false world that the director and the audience made up for him. If no one saves Eriki, this girl will probably be trapped in the cage created for her by Tachibana Masamune for the rest of her life. Girl
She can only watch the same cartoons and TV series to daydream about the outside world, and formulate seemingly childish family plans again and again... But just like Truman in "The Truman Show", Eri has always been
On the road to freedom.
The purpose of Lu Mingfei coming to Japan was to rescue Eriyi from the huge darkness that shrouded her life, but if he took her out of the cage and pushed her in front of another camera
, letting people play with and spy on her, would be too sad for this ignorant girl.
Love is too far away for two people who have only known each other for a short time and have only seen each other a few times. For Eriyi, who has just seen this vast world, Lu Mingfei is more willing to give it to girls.
In fact, she has the power that all normal girls have. Eriki can go wherever she wants, wear whatever clothes she wants, and eat as much fried rice as she wants.
What I want to bring to Eri is a happy journey, pleasant memories... and more importantly, the freedom of being born.
The Ferris wheel slowly took them to a higher place. Eriki was lying on the porthole looking out at the world. The rain outside the window was pattering. This rainy night seemed to be extremely long, as if it had no beginning or end.
Behind the Ferris wheel is the sea. Looking at the sea from the angle where they are at this time, the raindrops hit the vast sea like a silver mirror, causing billions of ripples.
The world is gray, and the lights of tall buildings in the distance are soaked in the hazy rain and fog. Looking through the water curtain on the glass window, the lights reflected in the water droplets look like groups of dancing fireflies.
"Eli Yi...I'm sorry." Lu Mingfei suddenly looked at Eli Yi and said a little guiltily.
"Why should Sakura be sorry?" Eriyi wrote in a small notebook and then raised it in front of Lu Mingfei.
There was a slight puzzlement on the girl's face.
"Because...actually, those people outside were all arranged by my friends, and this Ferris wheel date is also...that girl who keeps eating potato chips." Lu Mingfei racked his brains and tried his best to organize his words, "
But these are not my friend's problems, she did it because of me... No, it should be said that she did it for you, Eri... It's also wrong... I don't know how to explain it, but maybe
I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable..."
"I don't feel uncomfortable." Eriyi wrote in a small book for Lu Mingfei to read, "I am very happy to play with Sakura. The new clothes are very nice, and the five-eye fried rice is also delicious."
"Happy", "good-looking", "delicious"...the girl's descriptions were very straightforward and clear, and she did not express any dissatisfaction with these arrangements in every word.
Probably because Eri's life has been arranged in the past, she has to undergo regular physical examinations almost every day. It is too common for a bunch of people to circle around her, so she is not concerned about being surrounded and arranged.
She has become accustomed to accepting things as they come...but Su Enxi's or Lu Mingfei's arrangements made Eryi feel quite novel.
Taking a helicopter to fly home on a rainy night is something Eri has never tried before. Wearing bohemian makeup and a gothic skirt is something Eri has never tried before. Riding on a skyscraper alone with a member of the opposite sex late at night is something Eri has never tried before.
Wheels are something Eriyi has never tried before.
Many things in this process may not be new to many girls, but all of this is the first experience for Eriki, and it is a thousand times richer than any of her experiences in cheating.
Ten thousand times.
Her entire past life was filled with boredom and monotony, and that small, cage-like room became almost her entire world. Every bit of different scenery was a precious asset to her, and the experiences of ordinary people were precious to her.
It's quite a luxury thing.
Of course she would not feel that Lu Mingfei had done anything sorry for her, because it was Lu Mingfei who took her out of that small room, and she had the opportunity to see with her own eyes the outside world that she had dreamed of.
The Ferris wheel slowly rose up, reaching a height of about fifty meters above the ground. Looking to the left, you could see a huge and very distinctive space about eight hundred meters away from the Yokohama Space World where they were.
Building complex, there is "Yokohama Minato Mirai 21".
The name "Mirai 21" represents the future dream of Yokohama City as a port facing the 21st century. This port was originally a shipbuilding base built on the sea in the 1980s. Because it is adjacent to the bustling Tokyo, it also serves as a port for cruise ships.
At the docking station, this land has developed rapidly in recent years. The entire shipbuilding base has retained its original style while undergoing commercial transformation. Now it has Japan's first-class hotels, business districts and convention and exhibition centers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's 'Yokohama Minato Mirai 21'." Lu Mingfei pointed to the very industrial-style building complex and softly introduced Eriyi, "That building
The largest building is the 'Future Port 21' Convention and Exhibition Center, where giant Ultraman models and ultra-tall Gundam robots are sometimes displayed there, which are the moving Gundams, so it is also known as a paradise for children.
"
Eryi followed the direction of Lu Mingfei's finger and looked at the dark buildings.
Listening to Lu Mingfei's description, the girl's eyes gradually glowed, as if she had seen with her own eyes the huge Ultraman model and the moving Gundam robot waving to her from a distance in the bustling convention and exhibition center.
.
"I want to go see it and play with Ultraman and Gundam."
Eriyi couldn't help but write in a small book for Lu Mingfei to read. The hope in her eyes for Ultraman and Gundam was just like those fashionable girls who heard that Louis Vuitton and Chanel were about to release new products.
"Yes, I will take Eriyi to see it when the weather gets better one day. We will take photos with Ultraman and Gundam." Lu Mingfei smiled at Eriyi.
The Ferris wheel is rising at a steady speed. Looking to the right of the Ferris wheel, you can see a group of buildings five hundred meters away with peripheral lights still on in the rainy night. They were built from the late Meiji period to the early Taisho period.
Warehouse group - Yokohama red brick warehouse.
The red brick warehouse is a historic building that symbolizes the rapid development of Yokohama Port. In 2002, the entire warehouse was completely renovated. Half of the warehouse maintained its original style, and the other half was used for commercialization and tourism development.
While retaining the original historical appearance of the building, the old appearance has been given a new look. In recent years, the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse has been developed by the City Hall into a very popular tourist attraction in Yokohama City and even in Japan.
"The red brick building is called the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse. It has become very popular in recent years. The lights at night are very distinctive. Many tourists traveling to Japan will choose to go to the Red Brick Warehouse to take pictures." Lu Mingfei
Naturally, I walked to the side of Eri's seat.
He stood next to Eri, pointed at the warehouse buildings behind them, and introduced Eri.
"There is also the tallest building in the city behind us. It is the tallest building in Yokohama City - the Yokohama Landmark Building. When the weather is clear, you will see a very intoxicating view of the sea level and Mount Fuji from the top floor of the building."
"The Landmark Building, Future Port 21, and red brick warehouses form a triangle on the map. Our Yokohama Space World is in the middle of the triangle. This area includes most of the famous tourist attractions in Yokohama City.
Prime location." Lu Mingfei was very familiar with every scenic spot around him.
"It is said that every New Year's Eve, a grand fireworks festival will be held in these seaside areas. The midnight chime will ring on the big clock in the red brick warehouse, and the fireworks will explode hundreds of meters above the ground.
Open it, dyeing the entire sky and the reflection of the harbor in colorful colors."
"The moment the fireworks bloom, everyone will stand at the harbor square and make a wish. Students will hope that they will be admitted to the school of their choice, working people will hope that their work will go smoothly and they will get promoted and make a fortune, and foreigners who are wandering away will pray.
My parents and family are happy and healthy... Japan also has the custom of keeping the New Year's Eve, so the fireworks show will last until midnight, and Yokohama City on New Year's Eve is also known as the 'Port City that never sleeps'."
Lu Mingfei described to Eriki in a very soft voice. Even he himself had never really seen the huge Ultraman model and the moving Gundam in the Future Port 21 Convention and Exhibition Center, nor had he experienced the cross-country view of Yokohama Harbor.
Years of fireworks show, and he has never been to the top floor of a landmark building to overlook the coast and Mount Fuji, but his description is very contagious. Through his words, it seems that he can outline a beautiful picture of a sky full of fireworks.
Eriki looked in the direction of the red brick warehouse. No one was wandering around on the street at this point, but the representative spotlights of the red brick warehouse were still on. At this time, the golden light beam reflected the red bricks into a burning shape.
The color looks like burning bonfires from a distance.
The bonfire made of lights dances in the holes of the painted pear clothes, and a color called "longing" and "longing" gradually emerges in the girl's eyes.
Lu Mingfei looked at Eli Yi, and for no reason he thought of himself when he was sitting on the rooftop of his aunt's house, looking at the bustling CBD area in the distance, and the night of that city.
Of course, that small coastal town was far less prosperous than Tokyo and Yokohama, but he was so similar to the current Eriki who was slumped in that city.
They all stared blankly at the larger world outside. The lights burned into a glow and flowed past them, but it was fleeting. They were clearly in a corner of the city, but they seemed to be standing on the other side of the bustle and traffic.
, the blooming neon lights weave the colors of the entire city, but those beautiful colors never belong to them, leaving them with only the same loneliness forever.
At this time, Hui Liyi looked at the world outside the window, and Lu Mingfei looked at Hui Liyi.
Lu Mingfei looked at the light reflected in Eryi's eyes. He had never felt that the world was so dazzling...not because of the scenery in this world, but because of the people who looked at the world.
Unknowingly, the Ferris wheel has climbed to the highest point. Looking out from this height, the sea level seems to extend to infinity, and the scenery of half of Yokohama City can be captured. At a glance, at least one can see everything in Tongkongli at the same time.
With hundreds of thousands of lights gathered together, the world has become vaster than ever...
At this time, Huiliyi suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Mingfei, which shocked Lu Mingfei.
"Thank you Sakura."
Eryi did not look at the boundless world from the highest point of the Ferris wheel. Instead, she wrote this sentence of thanks in a small notebook and looked at Lu Mingfei seriously.
"Why are you thanking me?" Lu Mingfei asked blankly.
"Thank you Sakura for showing me such a beautiful place." Eriki wrote in the notebook again.
“I have never ridden a Ferris wheel, nor have I seen such beautiful scenery.”
"My family doesn't want me to go out because I will be in trouble if I go out. Only Sakura is willing to take me out."
"The world is very big. I have never seen such a big world."
Eriyi kept writing quickly in her small notebook.
"Actually, the world is bigger than what Eriki saw today, much bigger. Japan alone is much bigger than this. Yokohama City and Tokyo are only a very small part of this world." Lu.
Mingfei made an exaggerated circle with his hands and traced a very small dot in the center of the circle.
"There are many places in Japan with more beautiful scenery than here, and there are also many interesting places. We have several days. If Eryi wants to go, we can go to all those places." Lu Mingfei tentatively said.
suggested.
"I want to go." Eryi nodded and wrote one stroke at a time in a small notebook.
"But Sakura is not Japanese, right? How do you know there are so many beautiful places in Japan?" Eryi wrote in a small notebook, tilted her head and raised it in front of Lu Mingfei.
