A few months ago, Wu Geng pulled her suitcase and left in front of her father. At that time, she was still very unfamiliar with the world. Perhaps she was anxious to leave the familiar environment as soon as possible and go to a new stage. She embraced the unknown.

In order to meet her expectations, she went to Tokyo. Now that she has returned to her hometown, she has not yet achieved anything, but fortunately she is on the right track.

When I left my residence in Tokyo, I didn’t take too much luggage with me. I just carried a backpack, a few changes of clothes, and a book to read on the road to pass the time. And this——

Wu Geng looked at the bracelet on his wrist. Under the sunlight, it was dyed with golden edges. This was a Christmas gift from Nishino. Because he was busy preparing for the exam, he forgot about the Christmas gift exchange. Helplessly, after saying

To make up for it, fortunately Nishino didn't seem to care.

The plane flies smoothly above the clouds.

Wu Geng turned his attention back to the book in his hand.

Wu Geng has been fond of reading since he was a child, regardless of genre. He is the type who is satisfied if he has a book to read. His father’s study room at home has a lot of books, most of which are old books, and some of the paper is yellowed. Wu Geng guesses that it must be from his grandfather’s generation.

The books left behind. When I was living in Tokyo, after reading the books I brought with me, I had no choice but to go to the bookstore to buy some. I happened to meet Hashimoto who was also shopping for books and recommended a few books.

The book I have in my hand is "The Adventures of Sheep Hunting", written by Haruki Murakami. I read part of it before, but then put it aside. Now I have picked it up and re-read it.

The "I" in the story was asked to find a sheep with a star pattern on its back. Using the photo sent by my friend "Rat" as a clue, I embarked on the journey of search with my girlfriend.

The main stage of the story is Hokkaido, so I felt a strange sense of discomfort when reading it. The place where I live is somewhat inconsistent with the description in the book, but some of the specific information about the city is correct. In this kind of realism,

During the fake reading experience, she felt that her hometown, where she had lived for 14 years, seemed to exist in a distorted form.

Discomfort.

But there were no other books at hand to read, so I had to be patient.

After reading that "I" and my girlfriend stayed at a Dolphin Hotel in Sapporo, I thought about going to Sapporo if I had time to see if there is such a hotel.

When the plane landed, the flight attendant reminded her to put away her books and desk board.

Put the book into your backpack, lean back on the seat, close your eyes and wait for the plane to land.

——

Outside Asahikawa Airport.

"Sister, here!"

As soon as she left the airport, she saw her younger brother Wu Genghe extending his hand out of the taxi window and waving to her in a taxi not far away.

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly walked over.

"Why do you have money to rent?"

(ex){}&/He shook his head and turned back to the living room.

——

The layout of the bedroom and the placement of items are the same as when I left. Maybe it has been changed and I can’t remember the precise location of each item. But I can feel that the amusement park that has reopened after many years welcomes the first person.

A subtle atmosphere when you are a guest.

The diary was spread out on the desk, with light dust falling on it. In the few months since she left, time still ran smoothly and orderly in this room, without any rush or slowness.

She put down her backpack and lay back on the bed. The fine dust was like a school of fish that was frightened and scattered in all directions, then floated in the sunlight that leaked in.

She was lying on the bed at midnight, recalling the many hours spent in this bedroom, and she still vaguely noticed a sense of strangeness. Her thoughts paused for a moment, and then she covered her face with a corner of the quilt. The soft quilt exuded

A kind of aged smell of time.

There was a brief vibration in her pocket, and she took out her phone and held it in front of her face.

A message from Nishino.

"are you home yet?"

The brain automatically filters out the included kaomoji characters.

"Just arrived, where are you?"

After thinking about it, I added a smiley face at the end. Click send.

It just showed that the sending was successful, and after a while, a new text message reminder appeared.

“Nearby park.”

Click on the attached photo file.

In the picture, there is a hand stretched forward in the shape of a "", and the hand rope on the wrist is a pair of five o'clock. Behind the hand is a small square in the park, next to the pool, a group of pigeons spread their wings to escape the restraints of the ground.

Then there is the reply to the fifth update message:

"It took a slight detour, but the park is under renovation."

Then he sent another photo of a pigeon pecking and staring at the camera.

Wu Geng smiled knowingly. After stretching on the bed, he stood up and opened the curtains.

The sun couldn't wait to pour into the room.

There was a brief knock on the door behind me.

"Sister, what's for dinner?"

It's my younger brother Wu Genghe.

"……casual."

"Eating out?"

"no."

"Then order takeout. What do you want to eat?"

"casual."

"Pizza? Burger?"

"no."

"What are you eating, sister?"

I thought about it for a while.
Chapter completed!
