"Why doesn't Sakura run out?" Eriki asked curiously.
"Because I'm afraid of my aunt." Lu Mingfei replied subconsciously. He thought about it and shook his head, "Actually, it's not that I'm afraid of my aunt. If I run around, my aunt will definitely blame me. She will scold me a few times at most, and my uncle will do the same if I scold me harshly.
Help break up the fight, but what I’m more afraid of is that if I run away, I won’t have anywhere to live.”
"Although I don't have that much freedom at my aunt's house, at least I have a place to live. I go back there every day after school. There are people cooking and cooking. I only need to help run errands and have something to eat..." Lu Mingfei said softly.
, "That place is called home. No matter how small or shabby it is, home... is still home."
"Where can I go after leaving there?" Lu Mingfei looked into the distance, "When I was a child, I thought the world I lived in was only so big. I thought the most prosperous place in the world was in the CBD area, and everyone there lived there.
They call big houses with elevators and big windows mansions. The people there wear crisp suits and expensive ties. The leather shoes on their feet are always very shiny. They have to pay hundreds for a job on their heads.
Thousands of trendy hairstyles…”
"I yearn for the CBD area. I hope I can live there in the future. I also want to live in a big house, wear clothes that others cannot afford, work in a high-rise building, and have coffee and afternoon tea with my white-collar colleagues during my lunch break...
..." Lu Mingfei said, "So one time I sneaked to the CBD area. I went there by myself without telling anyone. It was really amazing there. I can only describe it as awesome. Every building is very tall.
, there are no red brick buildings in the one-story buildings, the black glass in the high-rise buildings looks expensive and beautiful, and the window cabinets on the street are filled with clothes and bags that I can’t even afford to buy with the pocket money I saved for a year. I don’t know them.
Why are they so expensive? But I often heard those brands mentioned in class discussions. Mercedes-Benz and BMW are everywhere on the road there. They are not my uncle’s small-displacement BMW 3 Series, but higher-end luxury cars.
Even Bentley and Maserati are often seen..."
Lu Mingfei said to himself that he didn't know if Eriyi could understand this, because Eriyi never lacked these. For the princess of the Japanese underworld, Bentley and Maserati were not considered luxury cars at all.
For the Sheqihachi family, which owns several buildings in Ginza, the CBD area of the small coastal town where Lu Mingfei lives is not a prosperous and advanced place at all. At best, it can be regarded as a fairly well-developed urban village... In fact
, those things are by no means an unattainable dream for Lu Mingfei today, but are easily available. If the money Lu Mingfei saved with Su Enxi was not spent, those assets could easily buy any building in the CBD area.
, but now when Lu Mingfei describes those days, he is still deeply impressed, as if there is still that weak child in his heart who longs for his world to become bigger.
It's just that Lu Mingfei has rarely met people who sympathize with him in recent years, because it is difficult for him to meet the same bad kids in Shilan Middle School and Kassel College. Even though everyone has been bad before, on the surface, it seems
Although everyone looks glamorous, he is the only one who has the same bad appearance and appearance, except for Fingel's rotten dog... But he and Fingel also have different declines. Lu Ming is not the kind of ordinary decline that is lost to everyone.
, but Fingel's decline is not ordinary, that guy always declines to the extreme.
"I wandered around for a long time, and then I got lost in the CBD area. I couldn't recognize the street signs there. Those roads were unfamiliar and complicated to me. I was a little anxious because it was almost time to eat. If I had to rush to the meal time,
If I didn't go back, my aunt would definitely scold me, so I walked back and forth along a street trying to find someone to ask for directions." Lu Mingfei shook his head, "I walked back and forth four times, but I couldn't find anyone. Everyone's faces were full of confusion.
They are very indifferent, with a look on their faces that says, "I can make millions every minute, and if you waste my time, you are wasting my money and it is a crime." They walk very fast and hardly pay attention to other people's affairs.
Some people are hurriedly talking on the phone, as if they are going to talk about a big project that can change the international situation at the next moment, and some people are just looking ahead, but their eyes seem to be on the top of their heads, and no one can fit inside."
"I was very sad that day, not because I missed dinner and was hungry, nor because I was scolded by my aunt, but because I discovered that the CBD area I had always longed for did not seem to belong to me." Lu Mingfei paused, "
To be more precise, I don’t belong there. Compared to those beautiful high-rise buildings, I prefer old houses with cement exterior walls. When I open the window, I can smell the fragrance of leaves and the sweetness of roasted chestnuts downstairs. I don’t like that either.
Those white-collar workers and elites in the CBD area may make a lot of money and drive nice cars, but I don't like their cold faces. Although our people there are not that rich, at least they can smile at others.
.”
"I think the CBD area is like a huge maze." Lu Mingfei described it with all his strength. "The people there are NPCs with no expressions or emotions. The slender elevated roads and skyscrapers are huge walls. Those
The rushing luxury car is like a beast in the maze. I am lost in it. Even if I run forward as hard as I can, I am destined to find no exit."
From Lu Mingfei's current perspective, these words obviously have nothing to do with the times and decline, but there is an inexplicable sense of story in his tone, as if a successful and famous person is recalling his bumpy and vicissitudes of life. Although
Lu Mingfei's past life has nothing to do with the ups and downs, but the words he uses can directly touch people's hearts. The shabby kid who hides deep in his heart quietly pokes his head out again. As long as you listen carefully, you can imagine a person with low self-esteem.
The child was running back and forth on the bustling streets. His expression was so anxious and helpless, like a frog that mistakenly entered the prosperous underwater dragon palace. No matter how hard he jumped, he couldn't find a suitable place for him. He only thought about
Jump back into the dilapidated old lotus leaf where you came from.
Eriki's eyes flickered, and her expression couldn't help but change, because Lu Mingfei's words suddenly reminded her of her own experience... The furthest she ran away from home was when she walked to the traffic light outside Genji Heavy Industries Street.
She stopped and looked blankly at the people running around and the traffic whizzing by. At that moment, she felt that the world was so big. Although she had long imagined that the world was big, she couldn't find the way and didn't know where to go.
Well, she might never be able to return home if she kept going, so she stood at the intersection, tears silently flowing from her eyes.
"After that day, I occasionally went to the rooftop to see the bustling and beautiful CBD area at night, but I wasn't as yearning for it as before. I felt that it was far away from me, and when I looked over it, my heart didn't feel as throbbing as before." Lu Mingfei
He said softly, "At that time, I understood a truth. Many times, a person will be very happy when he is looking forward to one thing in his heart. At this time, he is the happiest, because he feels that there is hope in life. But if a person discovers
There is a big gap between what he hopes for and reality, and maybe he will be disappointed."
"Are you disappointed in me, Sakura?" Eriki asked.
"Why do you ask that?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, not knowing why Eliyi suddenly asked this question.
"Because Sakura said she knew me a long time ago, knew a lot about me, and wanted to meet me." Eryi looked at Lu Mingfei and said, "I don't know if I really think the same as Sakura, so I'm worried that Sakura will
disappointment."
"It's different from what I thought." Lu Mingfei shook his head. Before the girl's eyes could show disappointment, Lu Mingfei said immediately, "Eriyi is much better than I thought. We
I survived, and many unexpected and beautiful things happened. These things were all things I didn’t expect. My life was supposed to be very bad, but the appearance of Eriki changed me. You are like a
A gift...probably the best gift I've ever received in my life."
"The same goes for Sakura." Eriki said in a very serious tone, "I am very grateful to Sakura. I am not disappointed in this world at all, because Sakura has always been with me. I feel that the world I saw with Sakura is very gentle and gentle.
good."
Eriyi's level of expression has improved by leaps and bounds. Even someone other than Lu Mingfei can understand this sentence... Because I am with you, I only feel tenderness and beauty in this world.
I like that you are too straightforward, the moonlight is beautiful and too obscure, and these words are just right. Every punctuation mark between the lines is a girl's sincerity... Probably only an idiot girl like Eri can say it.
She spoke such touching words because she had just begun to fall in love, and because she used all the words and phrases she had learned during this period, her expression could be so sincere.
This is the most sincere sincerity of a girl, and she tells it to you in the dark of night.
How could you not be moved?
Eriki's eyes were very bright in the night, and her seaweed-like long red hair was flying freely in the sea breeze, revealing a slightly charming style. Eriki was no longer the little girl who was completely ignorant of the world.
She probably knew what her words meant, but after hearing Lu Mingfei's story, she just wanted to tell Lu Mingfei these words.
No one can spend their whole life with hope. The satisfaction and happiness obtained by relying solely on hope is undoubtedly illusory and sad. If you dare not face reality or all you get is disappointment, it is probably because you have not met the one in your life.
That person...some encounters are gifts. There is always a person in this world who will make you feel that all the suffering and torture you have experienced in the past are worth it. She can be a beam of light or a fire. In short
It will illuminate all the good things in life for you.
"I want to visit Sakura's secret territory." Eryi said to Lu Mingfei.
"Actually, it's not that interesting a place, and the scenery isn't that beautiful either." Lu Mingfei was startled, and explained, "Actually, it's quite boring, just because I really had no place to go, and my aunt and Lu Mingze at home
It’s an old-fashioned quarrel, and you don’t always have pocket money to go to an Internet cafe to play games, so you just want to have a place that no one else knows about, thinking that that place only belongs to you.”
Lu Mingfei has already said that the so-called "secret territory" is actually the rooftop of an ordinary old residential building. The entrance is full of debris. The night view on the top of any skyscraper in Tokyo will definitely blow up his so-called
"Secret Territory", Eri is now free from the constraints of blood. She will not be restricted by anything. She can easily buy the most prosperous high-rise buildings in Shinjuku or Shibuya, and even go to Paris or Las Vegas.
It is not difficult for her to buy a rooftop with a swimming pool. The night view from those places is absolutely breathtaking.
"I also want to have a place like this, but there isn't one, so I want to see Sakura's." Eriki shook her head. She looked at Lu Mingfei and said seriously, "What Sakura said is very interesting. I have never seen such a world.
I want to visit the place where Sakura lived.”
This is the first time someone said that.
It turns out that the girl didn't want to see such a beautiful scenery. It was just the words "secret territory" and Lu Mingfei's description that moved her. She had never had such a thing as a "secret territory", so she wanted to be with Lu Mingfei.
Unless we share it together...Eri will never ask for anything from others, because she has a strong sense of possession and she only cares about the few things she owns.
This was the first time she took the initiative to share someone else's world. She walked out of her own small world and wanted to enter Lu Mingfei's world... even though that world was smaller and more boring than hers.
.
It turns out that liking is like this. No matter how boring or trivial your stuff is, there are still people who are willing to share it with you.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded heavily.
The profile of Eli Yi's face was slightly red in the night. It was a shy look unique to a girl. Lu Mingfei was lost in sight. Eli Yi's body slowly approached Lu Mingfei. She did not try to figure out what Lu Mingfei was.
With an expression on her face, Eriyi at this moment does not look like a vigilant cat who needs to be tested. She is a real girl. Like all passionate girls, she exposes her rawest, truest and most touching side to her likes.
In front of this person... It seemed that she felt blessed. Eryi slowly closed her eyes. Her slender eyelashes trembled slightly in the sea breeze, not because of the wind, but because of her heartbeat.
This is a look that the girl has never shown in the past twenty years. Rather than saying that Lu Mingfei has changed her, it is better to say that she has such a side hidden in her heart... In fact, every girl has this side hidden in her heart.
The shy and touching side is just waiting to be awakened by a magic potion called "love".
Lu Mingfei heard two heartbeats in a trance, one was his own, and the other was the girl's in front of him. They got closer and closer, and finally merged into one like a resonance, and the sound fell on Lu Mingfei.
It was like thunder in Fei's ears, even covering the sound of the ocean tide and wind waves, hitting the cliffs hard... The magic potion called "love" also awakened a certain power in Lu Mingfei's body.
, that power shook the heaven and the earth.
Before Eliyi could get close to Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei came to his senses first. He quickly stepped forward and hugged Eliyi tightly into his arms.
With their eyes closed, the cool lips of the boy and girl touched each other in the evening breeze.
