Nagasaki, Nagasaki

"Consciousness is never a bad thing.

Zhou Qi looked at Lao Jiang and saw everyone looking at him. He blushed a little, and he probably volunteered a little. He nodded heavily in a very "Japanese" way, and said with bright eyes: "Please leave it to me." I'll do it!"

Notes:

*The story of Lao Jiang in the article is quoted from "Talking about Japan by Those who Stayed in Japan in the Early Years", Shandong Pictorial Publishing House, 1996st edition in August 8, P1-160, the original story of Wang Xiangrong.

********

I ran with Zhou Qi for three days, and he collected the supporting documents of several of us Chinese students who wanted to return to China as soon as possible, and went through the return procedures for us.

The people in the supervision office didn't give Zhou Qi any good looks because he was Japanese, and Zhou Qi was polite and careful from the beginning to the end, trying his best to avoid all complications.

Today, everything is finally done.Because of Zhou Qi's hard work, things went smoothly unexpectedly.

In the evening we went to the ten-fold room together again, and returned our passports and documents during the party. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, in order to celebrate and thank Zhou Qi, Lao Jiang happily opened all the wine he brought——Lao Jiang is from Shaoxing, so naturally he brought Huadiao and Nurhong.

During the banquet, everyone drank very comfortably, in groups of twos and threes, and they all spoke from their hearts.Lao Jiang, Zhou Qi and I sat together.

Lao Jiang enthusiastically told Zhou Qi what Huadiao is, why it is also called Nvnuhong, and so on.Zhou Qi has always been very interested in these folk songs.

While drinking, I suddenly remembered that he once told me that only when he knew these things would he feel like he really belonged to this circle.Compared with speaking with normal people, when speaking slang, it is like whispering between lovers, and it seems like there is no one else in the room.

I've always thought he was an interesting little thing—he respected me, respected in his heart, which is rare.

At the end of the party, Zhou Qi asked Lao Jiang for a jar of Nurhong.Lao Jiang glanced at me with a smile on his face, but said nothing.

On the way, Zhou Qi said, "Lao Jiang asked me, you are going back to China, what is my plan?"

I was unmoved, and still walked forward in big strides.It's not that I haven't thought about this problem, it's just that he is mine now, so of course he's going with me, so what else can I say?

"Well, what do you say?" I perfunctory him, without looking at his face, waiting for him to say the answer in my heart.

"Of course I want to go with you." Zhou Qi said seriously, as if he was afraid that I would get angry.

I smiled and put my arms around his shoulders, he is half a head shorter than me, he is really a cute "little boy", but the joy in my heart is always more than what I express.

"But..." Zhou Qi hesitated again, as if he didn't know what to say or not.

"But what?" I frowned slightly, "Are you unable to let go of your parents?" Yes, probably because of this.I sighed in my heart, it was a little difficult to do so.

"No! Shu Qingjun, it's not because of this," he hurriedly explained, "Look, if we leave, Fang Jun and Cai Jun haven't left yet, without me to help them, will they be inconvenient... I'm actually also worried, um, if the 'Japanese' treat them..."

"Hehe," I am ashamed and grateful; I am ashamed that I did not take the initiative to bring up the follow-up matters with Lao Jiang and the others, because my selfishness is to want Zhou Qi to return to China with me; I am very grateful, Zhou Qi even thinks more about my compatriots than I do.I don't know if Zhou Qi is a traitor if these fall into the eyes of other Japanese.I also know that he did all this for me, or to repay the affirmation and acceptance of him in our circle.Perhaps it is because of this human nature that he shoulders the same responsibility as me.I was a little excited, but maybe I was not used to being serious, but at this moment I just wanted to tease him, and said aggrievedly: "Mr. Yuanshan, you make me feel jealous of Mr. Fang and Mr. Cai..."

"No!" Zhou Qi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he muttered, "Please, Mr. Shu Qing, please call me 'Zhou Qi' from now on! Don't call me 'Yuan Shanjun'... "

I lifted his chin and forced him to raise his head reluctantly. His eyes were a little moist, but more like starlight.As if I was possessed by a demon, I just kissed like no one else.

His tears were salty and sweet, and I said to him, "Do you always eat salt and pepper?"

Zhou Qi punched me lightly, as if she was about to cry even harder.

The Toyama family's house is an old machiya.

The internal layout is not big, and Zhou Qi and I live on the easternmost side.The hallway between the house and the living room is separated by a shoji door, and the easternmost side is only a shoji door, which leads to an open-air corridor and a small garden.

The area of ​​the garden is limited, and a few bamboos are planted next to the courtyard wall in the north; the main courtyard is connected to it in the south, which is now separated by a fence; There are two koi and a lotus plant in the tank, all made by Zhou Qi.

He had just learned "Ai Lian Shuo" from me at that time, so he made these on purpose, and said half-bakedly: "A gentleman among flowers is just right for Mr. Shu Qing." It made me feel so ashamed to hear it.

On a winter night, there is a desolate coldness.

The earth dragon in Yuanshan's house was burning enough, and I tossed and turned so dry that I woke up in the middle of the night.When I woke up, I didn't move, I just felt hot sweat and steam all over my body, and it was sticky and uncomfortable.It was only then that he lifted the quilt unbearably and sat up straight.

"Zhou Qi?" I called out to him softly, but no one answered.

I sat for a while, and after three or five breaths, my eyes gradually adapted to the darkness.I just found out that Zhou Qi was not in the house at all.

His quilt was opened, and he was already terribly cold. He must have been away for some time.

I put on my clothes and went to the garden.As soon as I opened the door, I was caught by a small gust of cold wind and sneezed, but I saw Zhou Qi sneaking around beside the bamboo, not knowing what to dig, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Qi was startled, quickly threw the thing in his hand, and leaned over and said, "Don't come out, don't catch a cold."

"What are you doing when you're not sleeping?" I was a little curious.

The moon was very big that night, and it snowed again the day before yesterday. The moonlight reflected on the pure white snow, and the courtyard seemed to be shrouded in a layer of luminous light, making it even brighter.I saw Zhou Qi's face was a little red, I didn't know if it was because of the cold or something, but he said awkwardly: "Mr. Yueliang said that my daughter's red will be buried in the ground, and it will not be opened to drink until... the day of the wedding." ..."

I finally understood what he meant, and couldn't help but rubbed his hair with one hand.

"How can you do this kind of thing secretly, Zhou Qi." I tapped his red nose, "Let's go together."

I don't know if it was because of my illusion, but I just felt that Zhou Qi's face turned redder instantly.

That night, Zhou Qi and I buried a pot of daughter red that Lao Jiang had brought to Japan from his hometown of Shaoxing, traveling thousands of miles across the ocean, under the bamboo forest of his home.

Recently, the rumors have become tighter. I heard that the battle in the Northeast has been stalemate.

At present, these stranded foreign students are not interested in their studies at all. No matter what kind of outings organized by the school to "open our minds", almost all of them lack interest.

Everyone is focused on returning home as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the day after tomorrow is the day of departure.

Zhou Qi helped me prepare my luggage and documents, and I had already bought the boat ticket. Those of us who left on the same day were either packing their bags or saying goodbye.

The Yuanshan couple carefully packaged my schoolwork and books, and made rice balls for a few days, as if they were afraid that I would not have enough to eat on the boat, or that I would not be able to eat when I returned to China.

Everything is tidied up, I just want to spend more time quietly with Zhou Qi.

Our matter is like a closely guarded secret in the Yuanshan family, kept secret, but respected.This is really a decent concern - they love Yuan Shanqiu very much; so they tacitly allow Zhou Qi to follow me.

However, after discussing with me, Zhou Qi decided that I should leave first. After he stayed to see off the rest of the international students, he followed their last boat and came to Shanghai to meet me.It will be about a month at the latest, so I will go to Shanghai to wait for him first, and get acquainted with the current situation by the way.

Although it was settled like this, for me at the time, parting was a sad thing after all.So, on the last day, I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to hang out with Zhou Qisi.

Zhou Qi's stature was so small that he didn't seem to have developed much, and his face remained that of a handsome and cold boy.The thin single eyelid covers black and white pupils, and the skin is so transparent that one can even see the blue blood under the skin.She became shy, and her skin quickly turned red—just like it is now.

He tossed and lingered under my body, as if he would accept all my giving and taking.

I admit that I am a domineering person when it comes to sex, and I even like some torture tricks.Zhou Qi never evades these things, he is a sensible child as I like.

I tied his arms from behind and tied them at the crook of his arms, which would hurt a little and make him even more unable to use his strength.The ankles and thighs are also folded and tied separately, just like the chickens sold in the market.In this way, he can only lie on the ground and let me manipulate him.My quill stroked his brows and eyes, his bright red lips due to struggle, his naked and sensitive back, his white buttocks,
