In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 347 Extra Story·Horizon

"I had a dream.

A dream in which I am very happy.

I dreamed that I grew up with Huahuo, studied together, fell in love together, and got married together.

We are in a golden wheat field, I am busy earning a living, and she is in the hut behind her, holding her infant child.

The moment I turned around, the wind came, and it was so painful that I quickly stretched out my hand to cover my face. In a trance, I saw the white dress flying with fireworks, the raised hair, and the exposed eyes to me. smile.

I don't know what happened, the picture suddenly changed, the house disappeared, the child disappeared, and the fireworks disappeared.

I started to run in the endless golden wheat waves, I was very tired, very tired, gulping down the thin oxygen, pulling my sore muscles and fragile spirit.

I'm running, I'm running with all my might, and I know I'm chasing.

I don't know how long it took, I looked up and looked ahead, the sun disappeared, the moon occupied half of the sky, it was terrifyingly big, and the wheat field also changed from golden to silver.

The wind was blowing again, this time it was icy cold, but under the vast moon, it made the rolling wheat field look like a girl's white skirt.

In a daze, I saw Hanabi's back in front of me.

With her hands behind her back, she raised her head and looked at the moon. Her white dress was so soft under the moonlight.

I walked through the wheat leaves that hurt people. At this time, I was so tired that I couldn't tell whether it was heartache or body pain, but I knew that I wanted to get close to her.

I approached, and I grabbed her wrist, the warmth on her delicate arms was really indescribable.

Just when I was full of hope and full of anticipation, I took her hand and wanted her to turn around.

wake up.

The huge moon occupying the horizon, I only remember her beautiful back in a white dress, blown by the wind under the fluorescent moonlight.

——”

The desk lamp illuminated the desk, which was the only light in the room in the dark.

slap slap
The sharp tip of the pen keeps slicing across the paper, ending in a dash full of emotion.

Uesugi Kai finished writing these, and carefully placed the pen in the middle of the notes.

It was already late at night, and even Tokyo, which has always been busy, had to stop a lot at this moment.

He looked up and looked out the window.

The windows and the sky are both wet, ticking against the glass.

Outside, it's raining.

Uesugi Kai got up from the chair, went to the window, and pushed it open.

The cold wind blows straight in, and they envelop the light rain, making the already quiet rainy night even more cool.

Good rain knows the season.

This poem says, "A good rain knows when it should fall."

Kaoru Uesugi stopped by the window and looked out the window.

He wondered if it would have been a little warmer than usual tonight if it hadn't rained that day?

The neon lights are flickering, and they color the tall buildings in the city.

Kai Uesugi tilted his head and looked at the bustling night scene of the city outside the window, fascinated
The rain outside is cold rain.

Uesugi Kai closed the window, turned off the desk lamp, and turned back to the room where only the bedside lamp was on. He sat on the edge of the bed, took off his glasses, fell on the bed and wrapped the quilt tightly.

At the moment when he was about to close his eyes and rest, he habitually looked at the position above the bedside table.

In the place under the light, in the rectangular photo frame, the girl smiled brightly in the summer festival.

Kai Uesugi looked at her, smiled, stretched out his hand to change the position of the photo frame, so that her smiling face faced the warm light.

He turned off the desk lamp, and retracted his cold hands back to the quilt alone.

"Good night, Hanabi."

I felt like I was back in a dream again.

In the dream, the waves of wheat are like a sea of ​​golden light, rolling light on the horizon, boundless.

The back of the girl in the white skirt is in front of her, like a dream, she reaches out to hold it, but only grabs a piece of nothingness.

drop drop drop
Drip
Kai Uesugi woke up to the urging sound of the alarm clock, and he saw his empty palm at the first sight, but closed in.

Drip
He pressed the alarm clock.

Putting on his glasses, he sat up from the bed.

As usual, he packed the quilt, tidied up his clothes, and prepared the computer in advance for going out.

Kaoru Uesugi looked at himself in the mirror, and when he turned around, his gaze stayed on the diary he wrote late last night.

The diary has been written down to the last two pages.

He held the pen in his hand, picked up the diary on the desk, and flipped through the thin last two blank pages with his right hand, full of reluctance.

On the inside of the cover of this diary is written: "Birthday present for Kai-kun!"

He stared at the string of words for a long time, until finally, Uesugi Kai closed it with great care.

Before leaving the room, his gaze rested on the bedside table with the album of portraits on it.

"Huahuo, I'm going out."

"Well, it's smooth sailing."

Uesugi Kai muttered something silently, and the door closed with a click.

It's still raining outside.

He held up a large umbrella that allowed the two of them to stand underneath, and walked along the rain-soaked street towards the tram stop.

In the city streets, pedestrians are sparse.

Raindrops are hitting the top of the umbrella, and the cold wind is blowing on the face.

Even in the morning, the dark clouds in the sky make this moment no different from dusk.

Kai Uesugi felt a little cold, looked at his side, and moved the umbrella a little to the right.

After walking all the way to the platform, he put away his umbrella.

One person stepped into the tram, one put on headphones, looked out the window, felt the damp air in the rain, closed his eyes, and let his body shake slightly with the tram.

"Tokyo University Hongo Station, here we are"

Kai Uesugi heard the announcement, opened his eyes, and watched the car door slowly open in front of him, stepping into the flow of people.

The ginkgo trees in Dongda are starting to drop their leaves.

If it is sunny, the ginkgo trees all over the school will have the beauty of golden autumn.

Today is a rainy day. Although the ginkgo has lost its gorgeous golden color, the smell has been covered by the raindrops, leaving only a moist smell.

"Let's go, Uesugi, we have to go to the countryside today!"

"Have you brought anything to eat?" Uesugi Kai asked.

"Yes. What's the matter with it?"

"I didn't have breakfast."

"That's it, here, the bread I bought this morning." Totsuka Katsura took out a piece of yakisoba bread from his backpack.

"Thank you, how much is it?" Uesugi Kai said, and was about to take out his wallet.

"A few hundred yen, here's something, I'll give it to you to eat." Totsuka Katsura kept waving at him.

"Thank you, otherwise I would have to starve this morning." Uesugi Kai immediately tore open the plastic bag, ready to finish the bread before getting into the car.

"You're welcome, but let me tell you, Uesugi, you should learn to take care of yourself, you—"

Totsuka Katsura was hesitant to speak, and after opening his mouth, he still decided not to talk:

"Just pretend I didn't say it."
