It's better to fall in love with an old enemy

Xiyuan Temple won the gold medal in the World Championships this time, which really allowed him to enjoy the treatment he deserved as a "world champion", not only reflected in the small money received, but also reflected in the continuous activities.

Government activities, TV activities, newspaper interviews...

He has been tossed for nearly a week since returning to China, and Xiyuan Temple's laziness came up again within two days. Now he just wants to stay behind closed doors, be an ostrich, bury his head in the soil, and act as if nothing happened Same thing.

Xiyuan Temple just collapsed on the sofa for 2 minutes, and overturned this negative idea of ​​avoiding the world.

It's not okay to pretend that nothing happened, after all, the gold medal is still yours.

The world is dominated by those who have gold medals, not to mention that this is a gold medal from the World Championships, which is completely different from the plastic medal I got at the French station at the beginning of the season!

This is gold!

Xiyuansi sighed quietly in his heart, buried his face in the sofa cushion, and despised himself in a low voice: "Vulgar!"

The gold medal effect comes and goes quickly.In one week and two days, all kinds of activities suddenly disappeared, and the media reporters from all walks of life who were buzzing like wasps dispersed completely, and finally returned the rare quiet and leisurely vacation to Xiyuan Temple.

Every year during the off-season, Xiyuan Temple has to go back to Kyoto.Since their ancestors, the Morikawa family has been known in the Chinese drama circle for their wealth and wealth. There are quite a few properties under Morikawa's name in Tokyo and Kyoto.In this generation, Morikawa, that is, the grandfather who is now in charge of the main house, felt that those houses that no one lived in were empty, so he did a good deed.According to the family tree, he allocated all the remaining houses for the family members to live in.

Xiyuan Temple and his family were also assigned to a house because they were in charge of the Mushiza Theater under the family name in Kyoto.Just like Mushiza in Kyoto is not a well-known theater, when the Xiyuanji couple just moved to this house from Tokyo, it also looked dilapidated and miserable.Courtyards and houses are all available, no matter how dilapidated it is, you can still get a glimpse of the elegance under the ups and downs of time.

The Xiyuansi couple are optimistic and open-minded, and they have a pair of skillful hands and flexible minds.Mushizuo Theater met them when it was about to be eliminated, and they brought it back to the audience's vision with bold and novel management methods.The condition of the little house was better, it was only neglected, it looked like a ruined house.The couple worked together to clean up bit by bit, plant trees in the courtyard, and divert water to the pond, recreating the vitality of this old small house and the ancient temperament that complements the city of Kyoto.

After the couple got busy with their theater work, they had no time to come back here, so they simply rented an apartment near the theater as a place to stay.At that time, Akira Ozawa's figure skating career was also on the right track, and this small house became a clean little world for his off-season.

But although he has officially entered the vacation now, he can't go back to Kyoto directly with his bags, and he hasn't seen his grandfather yet.

Xiyuan Temple stared at his packed luggage in a daze. He planned to go directly to Kyoto to recuperate after going to his home the next day, but he didn't think about how he was going to go, and how to bring these two large suitcases of luggage. .He didn't want to drive by himself, but he couldn't carry these luggage to his home with a clang, and then carry them out with a rattle and leave.

Just when he was very sad and was about to get a dark cloud over his head, Ryuichi Fujima called.

"Your post-match activities are over, do you want to come over tomorrow?" Fujima said nothing nonsense.

"Are you the ghost behind the scenes? Or did you plant a pinhole in my house? Why are you so clear about my affairs?" Xiyuan Temple scolded him mercilessly.

Fujima chuckled twice, and said, "Don't be so angry, I'm still a practitioner of literature and art, and it's not surprising that I have a little friendship with the media."

Xiyuan Temple didn't intend to break up these trivial matters with him, and his eyes fell on his two big suitcases again, and he decided to take advantage of it. "Are you in Tokyo tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Do you want to go to my home with me? Come and pick me up."

"You have your own car, why do I have to take a detour to pick you up, you go by yourself."

"I'll go back to Kyoto directly after meeting my grandfather tomorrow. Do you want me to drive to Kyoto by myself? I'm poor. It's too expensive to drive by myself. I can't afford it. It's great to take the Shinkansen. It's fast, takes a short time, and saves money. Money. Besides, that detour won’t tire you, and we go to our house together, which happens to be a perfect scene of brothers and sisters, right, Brother Longyi.”

Takaichi Fujima never liked to hear Xiyuan Temple call him brother since he was a child, and it would be bad if he called him.

Seeing that there was no movement on the phone, Xiyuan Temple continued to sell ecstasy soup: "You went with me, and you just happened to check your favorability in front of grandpa. Grandpa Morikawa's favorability, which of us needs this customs clearance item more, you Definitely know better than me.”

Fujima thought for a while, then grinned and agreed: "All right, all right, I'll go with you."

Xiyuanji, who managed to get to the car, set a time with Fujima, and happily dragged all the luggage out and put it at the door.

The next day, Xiyuan Temple sat in Fujima's car and went to his home with him. On the way, he didn't forget to force him to finish his work before sending himself to the station.This time Fujima agreed very quickly, and he was afraid that if he didn't agree quickly, and wait for Xiyuan Temple to blow a few words in front of his grandfather for a while, he might not want to be a free driver for him.

Grandpa Morikawa lived a frugal life, and the number of people who helped him with daily chores in his house was reduced to the minimum. The most powerful helper around him is the old housekeeper.Xiyuan Temple and Fujima were led by the old housekeeper to the lounge first. After waiting for a while, the old housekeeper came back and only took Xiyuan Temple away.The old butler said that Mr. Morikawa wanted to chat with him alone.

Xiyuan Temple followed the old housekeeper around the corridor, and he was about to go to the backyard. He asked, "Aren't you going to the living room?"

The old butler replied respectfully: "Mr. Morikawa said that you are a family member, not a guest."

When Xiyuan Temple heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Grandpa Morikawa had made up his mind to keep himself in the family.He closed his mouth and didn't ask any more questions, just followed along dully.

The old housekeeper took him to the tea room in the corner of the backyard. This tea room was newly built by Grandpa Morikawa after he took over the family. It was the only room in this old house that was entirely his own.

Xiyuan Temple sighed, opened the paper door, and entered the house.

Tomisaburo Morikawa was sitting on the tatami mats. In front of him was a low table with a set of tea sets and two sets of porcelain cups neatly arranged.The small stove was brewing tea, and as soon as Xiyuan Temple entered the tea room, he could smell a refreshing tea fragrance.

When Grandpa Morikawa heard him coming in, he didn't raise his head to look at him, but just beckoned someone to come and sit down.

Xiyuan Temple sat upright and kneeling opposite Grandpa Morikawa, and he finally had a chance to take a good look at the patriarch who had walked on the death line.

Looking at it, Xiyuan Temple saw the sadness in this old man.

In his impression, Grandpa Morikawa is always in good spirits.I don't know if it is due to the genetic inheritance among the heirs of the national drama. In the whole family, no matter whether it is the side or the master, there are not a few ordinary-looking ones, and the person who is the head of the family is even more outstanding.Even though Grandpa Morikawa is old, his good looks when he was young are still very clear.In his life or in performances before, he always carried a great demeanor.The grandfather in Xiyuan Temple's eyes is strict, but not aggressive. He just needs to sit on the chief seat, and he can calm down everyone in the family without saying a word.

However, Grandpa Morikawa in the tea room is completely different from the past.He seemed to have aged overnight, and his energy seemed to be just forced out.His back is straightening up properly, but it always makes people feel that after a while, he will fall to the side.Even the hands that made the tea began to tremble uncontrollably.

Xiyuan Temple took the shaking teapot in his hand and poured the tea for him.

With such an action, Grandpa Morikawa felt another layer of sadness visible to the naked eye.

He finally spoke, and he said, "I'm really old."

"Nothing, you can definitely live for a long time."

"Do you know what is the most important characteristic of people getting old? Old people will always recall the past unconsciously. I am like this recently. I always think of the time when you begged me to help you heal your illness at a young age. You knelt and sat in a daze, you didn’t hide your thoughts at all, you just opened your mouth and said you wanted to live. It’s just such a sentence, firm, aggressive, and not afraid of the road ahead, reminds me of my distant friend Brother, that is, your own grandfather. He didn't miss this family at all, so he went away and changed his surname."

"But he didn't really make it, did he, otherwise I wouldn't have the opportunity to sit here now."

"Yes, the head of the family at that time did not remove my elder brother from the family tree, because his talent is really the most outstanding in our generation. It seems to be like this since ancient times, the most rebellious one is also the most outstanding one .But the Patriarch at that time didn't wait for him to come back in the end."

"But you got us back anyway."

"Yes, because you are really similar to him, I want to know if you are as talented as him, so I just took a fancy to you. The year you children stayed with me, I was even more Once you confirm your vision, you will have a bright future. However, it has completely changed since you went to the United States."

Xiyuan Temple fell silent, he was a little worried that Grandpa Morikawa would force him to give up figure skating and stay in the family.

Grandpa Morikawa changed the subject and stopped recalling the past. "I know the agreement you made with Long Yi, and I also watched your recent competition. The gold medal in the World Championships is very good and very up-to-date. The traditional things you honed in your family, you use your current career to make it Taken internationally. I'm happy, but I'm not too happy either."

This season is the most beautiful time in the yard. Grandpa Morikawa looked out, and after a while, he turned back to this small table in the house.

"I'm glad that I was right at the time. You really have a bright future. But you won't want to come back after all, just like my brother. I respect your ideas, but you have to respect mine, too. I will not amend my will, and I also allow you to make an agreement with Long Yi. Your agreement is only superficial, and he knows it, and you know it too. But with me, I can promise you that if you are really in the Winter Olympics I won the gold medal, I will not force you to accept the affairs of the family, you are free to do what you want."

Xiyuan Temple finally stopped being tense: "With your words, I feel relieved, and I will definitely work harder."

Grandpa Morikawa emphasized: "The gold medal is not so easy to get."

"It's okay, it's something I like and I'm willing to pay for it."

The family card didn't make Xiyuan Temple get closer to the family, so Grandpa Morikawa had to let him go.

Before Xiyuan Temple left, he looked back at the poor old man carefully.He has everything in his life, but only lacks a most suitable heir.The main branch Fujima is too impetuous, and the collateral Xiyuan Temple is too independent.The old man is very kind, he is unwilling to use his identity as the person in charge of his family to persecute these children, and he has to let them develop until now.

Fujima has been waiting for Xiyuan Temple to come out. As soon as he saw the person coming back, he couldn't wait to ask: "What did you say? It's been so long."

"It's nothing, just drink tea, talk about homework, and talk about my gold medal." Xiyuan Temple fooled lightly.

"The old man really didn't say anything about family affairs?" Fujima didn't give up.

Xiyuan Temple convinced him: "Think about it with your brain, I am just a marginal person in the family, how could he tell me about family affairs."

Then Fujima shut his mouth and stopped asking.

The two of them greeted the old housekeeper, then left the house and went to the station.

Fujima sat in the driver's seat, just fastened his seat belt, looked up at the rearview mirror, and happened to see a little light shining from the grass reflected inside.

Xiyuan Temple also saw the flash of light, and he asked, "Did you see something flash just now?"

"No, I didn't see it, you must have read it wrong."

After that, the two did not communicate with each other on the way to the station.Fujima helped Xiyuanji take his two suitcases out of the trunk and watched him enter the station with his own eyes before taking out his mobile phone and sending a text message.

"What kind of flashlights are you turning on in broad daylight? He almost noticed it."
