"Is it really okay for you to live in this kind of place?" Ruosheng couldn't help but feel ashamed when he came to Tian Zhong's residence.

"What's the big deal? I've been living here for several months." Tanaka hugged the dog and said, "Look, this is Abu. I told you before, remember?"

"Oh...remember." Ruosheng glanced at the brown dog, and sighed again. Before the relationship, this guy wanted old furniture here!This dilapidated place can live well, Ruosheng has to admit that this is also a kind of strength.

"But the Obsidian Center...isn't it a gathering place for delinquents?" Ruosheng stood by the window, looking at the quiet Obsidian Paradise, always feeling terrified in his heart, as if there would be a group of extremely vicious delinquents in the next moment. The boy came out.

"Don't worry, they won't come up, the stairs are broken and the entrance is in a hidden place?" Tanaka said, "And it's not so much a gathering place for bad boys as it is a gathering place for stray cats and dogs land……"

"...I admire you more and more." Ruosheng hid his face, "It's really great to see a great spectacle in Japan before going abroad..."

Tanaka just laughed and didn't speak.

Ruosheng walked around again, and was surprised to find that there were beds in other rooms as well.

"Is there anyone else living here besides you?" Ruosheng asked Tanaka.

"Yes." Tanaka followed Ruosheng, "They moved in at the end of August, but they only lived for a short time. I haven't seen them recently. I don't know if they went somewhere..."

Tian Zhong suddenly became quiet, Ruosheng felt strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

"They will never come back here again..." Tanaka looked a little disappointed.

"Take the liberty to ask, who are they, are they students?"

"Well, they are all from Obsidian Middle School." Tanaka answered in the affirmative.

"I see." Ruosheng said, "They must have run away from home due to a second-year illness and lived here temporarily, but after a while they couldn't bear the living environment here, so they went home obediently! Well, it must be like this. wrong!"

"But I don't think so." Tanaka retorted, "They are not ordinary playmates, there is a bond between them... that is a stronger connection and trust than anything... I can feel it."

Ruosheng didn't know what to use to answer Tanaka's words, he shrugged, went back to Tanaka's room, and said again: "Actually, don't worry, maybe if you don't think about them, they will appear by themselves!"

"Yeah... that's right." Tanaka replied quietly.

Ruosheng's eyeballs rolled aimlessly, and suddenly he found something incongruous.He found a puppet on Tanaka's simple bed, it was a plush teddy bear.

"What's the matter with that? I mean... teddy bear..." Ruosheng pointed at the bear, unable to speak. Could it be that the girl gave it to him?Damn it, can't you see that this kid is quite attractive to women?

"Ah, this one." Tanaka hugged it happily, smiling innocently, "This is the prize I got at the shooting booth at the summer festival, how about it, it's amazing!"

After speaking, Tanaka rubbed the bear's face and smiled even more happily.

"..." It's amazing, I can get a half-length teddy bear, but the way you really like that doll is a swollen thing!They are all grown up and still playing with puppets!It’s okay if you’re a girl but you’re a boy, oh no, you can barely be called a man at the age of 16!Ruosheng complained in his heart.He took a deep breath, turned his head, and saw a dictionary for elementary school students and a picture book on the bedside table.Finally, Ruosheng couldn't bear it any longer, and said to Tanaka, "Do you really have a junior high school education?"

Tanaka was strangely silent, he and Ruosheng stared wide-eyed.

"...Isn't it?" Ruosheng was a little surprised. Originally, he was just talking casually, but he didn't expect him to guess right?

"I remember you...you are 16 years old...you dropped out of junior high school?"

"Well... no, it's just that I used to live abroad, and I'm not very good at Chinese." Tanaka bowed his head and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. If I can, I want to go to school, but the school has tuition fees and the things it teaches It's too difficult to understand."

"Then why did you come back?" Ruosheng was curious. In the past few months, he really didn't pay attention to understand the young man's affairs, but now he suddenly became curious.

"...Because it's my hometown." Tanaka paused, "Some people say that life here is better when I come back."

"Someone? Who?"

"My master." Tanaka looked up, "but...he should have passed away by now."

Ruosheng didn't ask what kind of master he was, but he asked again: "Then do you think the life over there is better? In fact, I think you should listen to your heart. Living in this kind of place like you are now... will be better than living abroad. How is your life? I think your quality of life here...is not good, what do you think?"

"I..." Tanaka hesitated, before he stayed because of the unrest and grandpa...but now...that person doesn't seem to restrict him where to go, what to do...Tanaka lowered his head, he will always Do you want to live like this?If it keeps doing this, it will inevitably be a bit boring, and in terms of what I'm good at, what I'm doing now is really a bit compromised.But Master said before that such a job cannot be done for a long time, and if one gets stuck, one cannot return for a lifetime.So Tanaka said, "Maybe it would be better if I saved enough money to open a small hotel?"

Ruosheng was a little speechless: "Hey, hey, the first thing you should do is move out of this place and find a normal house! A hotel is far away from you!"

"Why, I think this place is very good." Tanaka was puzzled, "And does where I live have anything to do with my hotel?"

Ruosheng almost vomited blood, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down: "Okay, it's up to you... I'll go first."

"Are you leaving now?" Tanaka stood up and looked at Ruosheng.

"...Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes! Do you think you are a puppy?"

After finishing speaking, Abu, who was quietly at the side, called out.

"I'm not Abu." Tanaka replied solemnly.

"You...forget it." Ruosheng sat down, "I'll stay for a while."

"Yeah." Tanaka showed a satisfied smile.

Ruosheng: "...I've been wanting to ask for a while, don't you have no other friends besides me?"

Tanaka: "..."

Ruosheng: "I#, no! You need to communicate more with others!"

"Having said that, you keep saying that you want to open an inn...do you want to be an innkeeper that much?"

"No...it's just that Master's ideal is to be the owner of a hotel, but his ideal has never been realized." Tanaka said.

"What, no money?"

"No, Master is quite rich...not poor." Tanaka replied after thinking for a while, "But he has never been able to realize his ideal...so I thought, since it is Master's ideal, I will do it .”

"To realize Master's ideal..." Ruosheng frowned, "What about you, Tanaka?"

"Huh?" Tanaka didn't seem to understand what Ruosheng meant.

"Tanaka, I'm asking you what you want to do and what kind of person you want to be." Ruosheng is very serious. He thinks that Tanaka's life values ​​are a bit problematic, although when he first met Tanaka, he felt that he was an ordinary person. A little different, but didn't expect that...

Tanaka thought for a while, then he shook his head: "I don't know."

"I said...Tanaka, are you living for the ideal left by your master?"

Tanaka froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I just want to show it."

"But how many years will it take you to do this? Opening a hotel... You don't have the capital, even if you have enough funds, there will be a series of troubles. It will take five years to open the business, right? But how many times do you have in life? Five years?" Ruosheng patted Tanaka on the shoulder, "So, you have to think carefully about your future, there is nothing wrong with saving money, but... I personally think that life should be comfortable for yourself, don't force yourself too much... "

"Hey..." Tanaka felt that Ruosheng's words were going to confuse him.

Later, Ruosheng and Tanaka went outside for a walk together, and it was noon.

Ruosheng said, "I'm really leaving this time."

"Well, you have to take care." Tanaka didn't hold back this time.

Ruosheng took two steps, then turned back: "To be honest, you really don't think about moving?"

"Why, what's wrong with that place?"

"Of course it's not good, normal people don't live in that place!" Ruosheng almost yelled.

"...Is that so? There were several people before..." Tanaka said hesitantly.

"Those people are abnormal! Absolutely!" Ruosheng said firmly.

Tanaka was stunned for a moment, and he replied: "Ah, that's what you said..."

"In short, it's not a wise move to live in that kind of place anymore. Don't you have the house left by your grandfather now? It's good to live there." Ruosheng said again.

"Well, I'll think about it."

It's just thinking about it... Ruosheng is ashamed, forget it...he doesn't care.

After waving goodbye to Tanaka again, Ruosheng left.Tanaka watched Ruosheng's receding back without making a sound. He rubbed his eyes, lowered his head, and walked alone on Hei Yao's one-way street.

※※※

At night, Tanaka curled up on his bed with the teddy bear in his arms.

He seriously considered Ruosheng's words, and he also felt that it was time for him to move.It's really not suitable for people to live here, maybe it would be more comfortable to live in Grandpa's Tanaka house, and Abu is also used to it...

Maybe, I really should move.

※※※

Tanaka is a man of action. He started to organize things early the next morning.In the afternoon, I went to Bingsheng by bicycle, planning to tidy up the house left by the old man Tanaka before moving in.

When he was cleaning, someone knocked on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man.The man made it clear what he was here for—he came to ask if the house was intended to be rented out.Hearing the man give a bunch of reasons, Tanaka was a little moved.I really don't need to live in such a big house, I just need to rent a single apartment outside, if I rent it here, I will have a fixed income a month... and the price offered by the middle-aged man is very attractive.Because of his work, the whole family had to move here, and couldn't find a house for a while.

So Tanaka agreed to the man's request. Since he was in a hurry to move in next week, Tanaka couldn't help but move out immediately... But do you have to pay attention to renting out a house?It seems that I heard what kind of contract to sign and what procedures...but Tanaka didn't know anything about it.He was a little distressed, by the way... Mr. Cao Bi must know something!Tanaka looked towards the house next door and was about to knock on the door, but he stopped.

Kusakabe-kun is usually not at home at this time, right?How about he call and ask?Tanaka went to the phone booth on the side of the road to make a call, but the phone was also busy.Helpless, Tanaka put down the microphone and went back to the house to continue packing.

It was getting dark, and Tanaka kept an eye on the movement next door, but Cao Bi never came back.

Tanaka's packing speed gradually slowed down. Thinking about it carefully, Kusakabe has always been very busy.Not only does he have to manage the Disciplinary Committee well, but he also has to serve a wayward chairman. He leaves early and returns late every day, which is very hard work. Cao Bi has always been very hard.

Tanaka stood up. He clearly knew that Kusakabe was so busy, but he kept bothering him after he found out about their neighborhood relationship... He was really an over-the-top guy.However, there are many things that I have never been in touch with or understood. The knowledgeable and considerate Cao Bi can always solve those problems for me, making myself rely on him unconsciously and ask him for help... It seems that from the past to the present, I have always asked Cao Bi for help. Has become a habit.

"You have to get rid of it." Tanaka murmured, this is a bad habit...just in time, take this opportunity of moving to be completely independent.And... I have to apologize to Kusakabe... Tanaka secretly made up his mind.

Tanaka waited at the door of the house for a long time, but Cao Bi did not appear.It was completely dark, and Tanaka went to a nearby convenience store as quickly as possible to buy a few rice balls for dinner, and then squatted on the side of the road, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

There were footsteps approaching, Tanaka opened his eyes, and there was a tall silhouette with the nose of the plane in the distance.He squinted his eyes, stood up and called tentatively: "Mr. Cao Bi."

"Tanaka?" The figure in the distance swayed for a while, and walked towards this side at a faster pace.Cao Bi was slightly surprised when he saw Tian Zhong: "What are you doing squatting at the door? Ah... are you waiting for me? What's the matter?"

"Kaobi-kun...I'm sorry for troubling you all this time, you're so busy. I'm really sorry..." Tanaka took a deep breath and said, "That...Actually, I waited for you to say goodbye to you I'm going to move house."

The author has something to say: Tanaka has moved, goodbye Mr. Kusakabe
