In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 243 Shinjuku Gyoen, Cherry Blossoms Again
The embellished rain comes to the earth.

The slender arrow separated from the fingertips, and under the watchful eyes of all members of the Dongda Archery Club, it flew into the distance as if destined.

Kai Uesugi put down his bamboo bow, and sat back in the rest area amidst the discussions among his classmates.

The seniors, who were more than 2 meters long and bows in hand, began to whisper and discuss.

——This is the No. 80 arrow he shot, and the target is full of green arrows.

"Senior is the record holder of the Hundred Shooting Club, right?" Qing Satake Jun put down his bow and sat next to Uesugi Kai, "Hundred Shooting Hundred Successes."

"Well, I participated once." Uesugi Kai stared at the familiar rain outside the kyudo hall, a little lost in thought.

"I always feel that seniors are good at everything."

"Persevere, maybe not as good as me, but it's enough."

"."

"Can I ask Senior a question?"

"Say."

"When the bowstring is tensed and the eyes are focused on the arrow, what will the senior think?"

----------

Lecture Hall of the University of Tokyo.

"Literature and art are to make people feel that stones are stones, bridges are bridges, and flowers are flowers."

"When I said to write the word 'bridge', what was the first image in your mind? Is it a wooden bridge over a stream? A flyover across the street? A sea-crossing bridge over Tokyo Bay?"

"Literature is a personal thing, it will wear out, it needs to be reorganized, and it needs to pursue defamiliarization."

"What is wear and tear? A metaphor: Ah, she is as beautiful as a flower."

"Isn't this sentence outdated as soon as you hear it? Everyone has heard it, and heard it countless times, and subconsciously label it: if such a sentence is written, is it considered literature?"

The students in the classroom all laughed.

"But you must know that when this metaphor first appeared, it must have been extremely beautiful in the hearts of people at that time, women are like flowers? Why didn't I think of such a good word?"

"So, when we create literature, we should properly pursue a certain degree of defamiliarization, so that the words you write will have an unprecedented hazy beauty in the reader's mind, refreshing him, and making him understand that 'the original text can still be used like this. '."

After class, many students put away their notes and left first.

There were also people who were still unsatisfied after listening to the one-hour, four-ten-minute class, and went to the podium to ask the professor who drank tea to moisten his throat.

"Uesugi, let's go, eat in the cafeteria." Totsuka Katsura picked up his backpack and put it on his shoulder.

Kai Uesugi tidied up his notes, moved his gaze, and the beating hands of the dial were reflected in the gold-rimmed glasses, "No, you and Qing Zuo go eat first, I have something to go to the school gate."

Soon, his back disappeared into the classroom.

"Senior, what are you doing here?"

Totsuka Katsura raised his chin and said confidently, "A man who is barely less handsome than me is of course going on a date."

"Senior said he doesn't have a girlfriend."

"No girlfriend?" Totsuka Katsura patted him on the shoulder and shook his head, "I don't know if you noticed his left hand."

"What happened to the left hand?" Qing Zuo Zhujun was puzzled.

Totsuka Katsura looked "really confused", "Tsk, ring, ring! Didn't you notice such a big diamond ring?"

"Totsuka-kun, are you saying that senpai is already married!?"

"Hey, this is sad. Obviously, 28 of the 26 people in our class have never been in love, but Uesugi got married early."

"How about it, are you interested?" Totsuka Katsuragi said provocatively.

"What?" Qing Zuozhujun was slow to respond.

"Go and meet Uesugi's wife who has never shown her face! You are not curious, are you? He is a man who receives more than a dozen love letters a month."

"What's so curious about this, don't, don't push me."

"Go take a look, just take a look."

------------

"Kai-kun, this is a change of clothes."

"Biscuits, when I bought them with my classmates, I found they were so delicious! I want Kai-kun to try them too."

"The chocolate that Hanabi likes to eat, Mr. Kai, remember not to eat too much, or you will gain weight."

"Milk, drink more milk."

"There is also a laptop computer, Mr. Zhao said a few days ago that he would buy one for taking notes and homework, so..."

"You bought it for me yourself?" Uesugi Kai didn't take over.

Hanamaru Hanabi, who handed him a big bag and a small bag, was stunned, and looked up at him: "Mr. Kai, don't you like it?"

"It's too expensive. This is the salary you earn from taking illustrations." Kai Uesugi took the black handbag with the Apple logo from her hand, "Besides, I'm not short of money right now."

"Hanabi just wants to help Kai-kun."

"I've accepted it," Uesugi Kai looked at the girl in a white dress, "Where do you want to go on Saturday?"

Hanamaru Hanabi frowned slightly, and put her fingers together in front of the white skirt:

"Kai, Mr. Kai decides."

"Do you still have class today?"

"Well, then Huahuo will go first."

Uesugi Kai: "Goodbye."

"See you."

Kaoru Uesugi watched her disappear into the other side of the road with her lovely back. When he turned around, he found two people secretly watching behind the ginkgo tree, and one of them looked very surprised.

Shaking his head, he didn't pay much attention to it. He carried the big and small bags and went to the apartment he rented nearby.

——Originally, the two planned to rent the same apartment, after all, it was only half an hour's drive from Dongda University to Dongyi University, but in order for Huahuo to grow independently, he let her rent an apartment by herself.

----------

Friday evening, December 5.

The twilight crossed the sky, and the cherry blossom trees on the Kanda River embankment were all dyed red.

Uesugi's house.

"Hua Huo Huo Huo, look, why is Xin crying?" Uesugi Kai hugged his three-month-old sister Uesugi Xin, an ugly and cute little guy, tears streaming down his eyes.

Hanamaru Hanabi ignored Hanayu who likes to crawl around, took Uesugi Koko from his arms, touched the diaper, it was a little wet:

"It's peeing, the diaper should be changed."

Kai Uesugi quickly took out a diaper from the drawer prepared by his mother, and walked over.

Hanamaru Hanabi placed a towel on the carpet, and gently placed the crying Uesugi Shinko on it: "Let me change it, you go and take care of Hanayu."

The little fellow Hanamaru Hanayu was running around.

Uesugi took a look around the customer hall, and saw her still crawling under the dining table and stool.

Walked over in a few strides, picked up the clothes behind her short neck, and hugged her.

Hanamaru Hanagi is very familiar with Uesugi Kai, and she took the initiative to hug him with open arms:
"Sister~"

"It's brother." Uesugi Kai said, when Huayu hugged her, she felt very warm, and her cheek was warm against her neck.

He likes this little guy very much, it makes people feel very warm.

Take another look at Hanamaru Hanabi who is patiently changing her sister's diaper on the opposite side.

Her serious look made her feel like home, and it came out of her heart spontaneously.

The life of daily necessities has also become meaningful because of her existence.

------------

Saturday is considered a family day, at least the two wives, two fathers, and two sisters are together.

Now is the day when the cherry blossoms are not withered, and many families choose to enjoy the cherry blossoms at this time.

On the wide lawn of Shinjuku Gyoen, Hanamaru Hanayu was crawling around on the tablecloth, and when she bumped her head into someone, she was willing to raise her head and shouted inarticulately:
"Dad~"

Hanamaru Hiroki patted her head, and asked Kai Uesugi who was sitting opposite:

"Father, he didn't ask you to become a policeman again, did he?"

"No."

"Well, it's fine if you don't have it." Hanamaru Yuki hugged his little daughter on his lap, "Sometimes forcing is not a good thing, he should also understand."

"Let's talk about you again, do you have any goals recently?"

"I want to open a coffee shop."

"Opening a shop? Hmm. Does Hanabi know?"

"I haven't told her yet, but she also knows that I have this idea."

"Have you prepared any specific plans?"

"Not yet, just a thought."

"If you don't have enough funds, you can take it from me. As long as the girl Huahuo knows that you have ideas, she will definitely support you unconditionally."

Hanamaru Hiroki let go of her little daughter who couldn't sit still, and she climbed up to Uesugi Kai in a short while, stood up and begged for a hug.

Kaoru Uesugi grabbed her small upper body with both hands, and lifted her up to the sky, the little guy giggled immediately.

Seeing this scene, Hanamaru Hiroki was a little nostalgic and sighed. More than ten years ago, when Hanabi was one year old, she smiled at herself like this. In a blink of an eye, she was about to get married.

As a father, although he had prepared for it long ago, he was still very reluctant when the time came.

He turned around and took out two beer cans from the meal bag, reaching out to hand one to Kai Uesugi:
". Forget, you are underage."

Uesugi Kenichi sat next to Uesugi Kai, directly took the beer can in Hanamaru Hiroki's hand, grinned and said, "I'll drink with you."

Hanamaru Hiroki glanced at the two wives who were admiring the cherry blossoms not far from the lawn, and then touched the pot with the prospective in-laws.

"How long has it been since you last drank together?"

Uesugi Kenichi waved his hand after taking a sip of beer: "Ha, who would remember such a thing."

"recently, I am busy?"

"Busy, very busy, there are more things for the technical veterans to deal with."

Hanamaru Hiroki wanted to say something, but shook his head, and said, "Forget it, drink."

Uesugi Kenichi raised the jar: "Drink."

Uesugi Kai, the two fathers, couldn't get along with drinking, so he had no choice but to pick up Hanamaru Hanayu and go to the wives under the cherry tree.

"Oi, are you looking for Hanabi?" Mrs. Hanamaru took Hanamaru Hanamura from his hand.

"Ah."

Mrs. Uesugi pointed in the direction, smiled and said, "She's over there."

Uesugi Kai looked in the direction his mother pointed.

I saw that the cherry blossoms were swaying gently in the wind, and the falling petals were flying in the air, showing the beauty of life at a speed of 5 centimeters per second.

Under the tree, the beautiful girls wearing rattan straw hats are all dotted with cherry red petals.

Her temperament is dreamlike and ethereal, and her slightly rippling white dress is as flawless as a cloud.

Just like back then, she came to Shinjuku Gyoen to invite her to enjoy the cherry blossoms during the cherry blossom season.

Kai Uesugi still remembers treating her to a meal of 1140 yen Ichiran ramen. The bowl of red soup reflected her shy and cute appearance.

For some reason, looking at the beautiful back in the crowd under the cherry blossom tree, the corners of his eyes became moist.

He stepped forward, walked through the crowd, and called out the girl in the white skirt by her name:
"Fireworks."

Hanamaru Hanabi turned his head and found that he was crying suddenly for some reason.

"Mr. Kai?"

"I"

Uesugi Kai, who usually seldom reveals his feelings, suddenly burst into tears at this moment.

"Kai-kun, Kai-kun? No, are you alright?"

"It's all right," Uesugi Kai lowered his head, holding back his tears, "It's just... just a feeling that for a moment, you seemed to disappear suddenly, and there was a big hole in your heart. You wanted to pursue it, but it seemed like you were sinking into the deep sea. , without any direction, even your back in memory is becoming more and more blurred.”

Uesugi Kai took Hanamaru Hanabi and stretched out his delicate hands to care about him, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, he lowered his head halfway, not daring to look at her.

"I, I still can't live without you."

Hanamaru Hanabi saw the petals falling on his back and slowly falling to the ground, but couldn't understand the reason for his sudden behavior.

But just looking at his appearance and hearing his slightly begging voice, my heart also felt uncomfortable.

"Kai-kun, Mr. Kai, Hanabi is always there, and will always be by Mr. Kai's side."

Hanamaru Hanabi opened her hands, stretched forward to hug him, buried her head in his neck, and gently smelled his scent.

Close your eyes, and whisper in weak and gentle words:
"This is the agreement that Hanabi and Kai-kun made, it will come true, it will come true, it will come true."

The fragrance of cherry blossoms in May and the sweet fragrance of the girl flood into the nasal cavity, making the mood calm and soothing.

Uesugi Kai also hugged her tightly under the falling cherry blossom tree.

Petals fell in her hair.

"I like you."

"Yeah Hanabi likes Kai-kun too"

"At night, when it's raining, I always dream about that time, when you're on the plane, leaving for England alone, and you're looking through the window at the ground, at the airport, at that tiny figure you can't even see. "

"One time, three years"

"At that time, I thought a lot. I thought about how to live in the world without you, how to work hard, and why I worked hard. I couldn't figure it out. Apart from my parents, only you are the most important concern."

"Without you, the word 'life' means nothing to me"

He rarely confides, at least like now, Hanamaru Hanabi has never seen him.

But after hearing his words, the girl hugging him smiled slightly:

"Hanabi. I'm very happy that Kai-kun can say these things to Hanabi. Kai-kun cares about her, Kai-kun likes her, and Kai-kun needs her too."

"When Kai-kun encounters unhappy things, he must talk to Hanabi as he does now."

"Hanabi and Kai-kun are each other's sun, not only to warm each other, but also to illuminate each other's shadow."

Hanamaru Hanabi hugged him tightly again.

"We are Kai-kun who will always be together"

"forever."

"Well, forever."

The dreamlike girl in white dress still exudes beauty in this season when the cherry blossoms are scattered.

Just like the breeze blowing cherry blossom petals in the anime sky, real and warm
The two wives hugging the child in the distance couldn't help smiling knowingly when they saw the two embracing under the cherry blossom tree.

Luck is the beginning of happiness.

At least he met her.
　It feels like it can be finished.
