Ririren saw the person at the door of the restaurant.

He turned around and asked Kenji Makabe beside him, "Kenji, I heard that you have a special skill - the one over there, the one at the entrance of the restaurant, how old do you think she is?"

Mabe looked up and said, "29." Very determined.

Ririren looked disbelieving, "How did you guess, no matter how you look at it, you look like you are in your early twenties?"

Mabe said helplessly, "Nanbo-kun, I won't make a second mistake if I made it once—Koru Tsukishima, although he doesn't look like it, he is 29 now."

Ririren glanced at Zhenbi, suddenly curious, "Why do you usually call Liu Tai?"——Since you call me Nanbo Jun?

"Sixth wife."

"..."

"..."

"So you know each other." Ririren returned to the previous topic, thinking that this age is very credible, he silently calculated in his heart, it should be... a volleyball player who is about 24 years old?

"Well, we were considered Qin Xia's senior in the previous episode? Anyway, we got to know each other."

"And do you know if she has a boyfriend?—or an ex-boyfriend or something?"

Mabe looked suspiciously at the very frank Ririren, and felt that he didn't seem to have any thoughts?But why do you even have to inquire about your ex-boyfriend?

"I don't seem to have any thoughts on this. There are also rumors that she-probably doesn't like men." Mabe lowered his voice and said honestly.

The corner of Riri's mouth twitched, "Kenji, let me explain in advance, I don't have any special thoughts about Tsukishima."

Zhenbi didn't take it seriously, "I know, a lot of people have inquired about her recently, have you heard about her?"

"?"

"ISS, it should have been confirmed——Qinxia is very envious."

(Wow, this guy!)

Ririren recalled Yuedao who suddenly leaned forward to tell him a story when he first met her, and the entangled person in the story...

(This guy is really about to realize his dream.)

Just as he was talking, Tsukishima actually walked over.

"Mr. Zhenbi," said hello to Zhenbi first, and then turned to Ririren, "Ririren, there is something I want to discuss with you, when do you have time?"

"?" Riri was surprised, "Oh, can it be done at night?"

The two agreed to have dinner together in the evening, and set the time and place.

Watching Tsukishima leave, Mabe turned his gaze to Hirihito, who also looked at him.

"Do you still trust me now?"

Zhenbi looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Trust—"Mr. Zhenbi" believes in "Daily People"~"

Tsukishima left the restaurant in a hurry. He has special arrangements today and will be there at 1:[-].At this time, the mobile phone rang, and I didn't want to care about it, but saw the message from Abe.

(haven't you slept yet?)

Yue Dao couldn't help feeling a little strange, and clicked on the message to read it.

"I went to the team today to bid farewell to the juniors, and Lian actually cried in front of the juniors."

Tsukishima smiled, saying goodbye to the younger generation today?No wonder I haven't slept yet...

If I were Mitsuhashi, I would probably cry too, right?Abe really doesn't understand people like me and Mihashi.

(I don’t know what Ruoli will say to the juniors when she graduates?)

A thought suddenly popped into my mind.

(He either doesn't say anything, if he wants to say something, it will probably be very practical and specific, right? Because he is such a serious person...)

(Why did I think of him again.)

She was helpless for a while, then looked down at the yellow document bag in her hand.

(It is because I wrote this.)

Tsukishima sighed silently.

What Tsukishima wanted to tell Riri was about the suicide note.

The two people talked about the suicide note very plainly, because it is customary for astronauts to leave a suicide note-launch, landing, docking, return, and before successfully returning to Earth and landing safely, it can be said that all times are full of risks.These were the tacit, tacit defaults from the earliest days of testing.

After saying a few words about the customary suicide note left to the family, etc., Tsukishima changed his tone.

"Everything else is ready, but there is a letter that I don't want others to know. If... it is really necessary, I would like to trouble you."

Ririren, who was already thinking about related matters, almost immediately thought keenly, "Is it for my ex-boyfriend?"

"Yes." Surprisingly, people guessed it right away. Yue Dao, who was still acting calmly, showed a bit of embarrassment, and explained, "It's not that I don't do it, I don't want to forget it, but... at that time When we broke up... In short, I always feel that I should give the other party an explanation."

Riri was very willing to help, almost overly positive and readily agreed, "Okay, leave it to me."

Yue Dao was a little suspicious, "Please keep this matter a secret for me."

"No problem." Riri agreed in one gulp.

++

"Yo, Ririren, you're back." As soon as Ririren got home, he saw Xiao Liu smiling deeply.

Ririren raised his eyebrows, "Oh, I'm back."

"Cough, Ririren, where did you eat tonight? Is the food good?" Xiao Liu acted like I was only concerned about your dinner gossip.

(Kenji, is that you?)

Sighing, Ririren said helplessly, "What did Kenji tell you? It's work-related—" He said, lighting up the big yellow envelope in his hand, "Look, documents."

"About work..." Mrs. Liu immediately became bored, "That's right, Yue Dao is also quite nervous now, right? Surely he wants to ask seniors about his experience, right?" Qin Xia...

"I'm going to wash up." Ririren explained.

"Oh."

Ririren returned to the room, staring at the big sealed envelope in front of him.

After a while, he sighed helplessly.

Is this guy so secretive?He remembered what Yue Dao told him, "If that time really comes, you will open the big envelope, and there will be a letter from me, his name, and address in it—because I'm afraid it will change, so I haven't copied it in In the small envelope, I will trouble you when the time comes."

(I thought I got the identity of my ex-boyfriend.)

I remembered what I was thinking about—I just thought about it occasionally, but today I even prepared such a suicide note because I heard that Yuedao would go to the ISS... Instead, the thoughts in Ririren's heart became really clear and urgent.

He slowly reached out to the big envelope, then retracted his hand as if he had been scalded.

(Ah, so annoying.)

After thinking about it, he decided to roughly confirm the other party's identity first.

Thinking that he turned on the computer, checked the 24-year-old Japanese volleyball player, and then checked the relationship gossip of several "suspects". There is a playboy, another has a stable girlfriend, and the last one has been single—— It was even passed on to become a fan.

(Isn't this somewhat similar to Tsukishima, who was murdered by Fengping?)

The corner of Ririren's mouth twitched as he watched the gossip.

(Could it be this person?)

He stared at the photo on the computer.

(Ushishima Jori.)

Is it not?

He suddenly remembered another clue, and searched quickly...

"It's not left-handed...not left-handed...Yap! That's him." Ririren pumped his fist excitedly.

He returned to the page of Ushido Wakari's photo, and happily looked at Ushishima Wakari's serious face on the screen.

After being excited at this cold face for a while, he calmed down again, but there was one more important question.

The answer to this question determines whether doing so is redundant or even self-defeating.

He looked at the big envelope again.

If you want to be sure about that...

(Ah, no, no!! I can’t disappoint Tsukishima’s trust!!)

then what should we do……

After thinking for a moment, he turned his head to look at the expressionless young man on the screen again.

……

Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport, early morning.

Riri people saw the tall young man at the exit at a glance, and began to wave.

"Udo, here."

Ushijima Wakari looked over, his eyes vividly explained what sharpness feels like. Compared with the photos, he himself looks very oppressive.

Doesn't look sluggish from the 15-hour jet lag or the [-]-plus hour flight.

Niu Dao strode over dragging a small suitcase, "Hello, is this Nan Bosang?"

"Yes, I'm the Nanbo Riri who contacted you before, hello." Niu Dao spoke politely and seriously, and the Riri who escaped casualness also became a little cautious.

"Thank you for your previous contact, I will trouble you today too."

Ushido is very polite and thoughtful, but he has no expression on his face, which looks very insincere in the eyes of Japanese people.

He couldn't help but think of the question he didn't answer, and he hesitated again——

"You're welcome." He paused, "Actually..." Suddenly he was speechless.

(Am I busy?)

"Actually, I'm taking the liberty too...I don't know if it's right to contact you. Is it okay to do it now...Have you really thought about it?"

A faint smile appeared on Ushido's face, "I might not be popular, maybe even be hated, right?" Or it's not so much a smile, it's more like a slight frown.

But it was already the biggest expression fluctuation on the other party's face since they met.

Everyday people raise their eyebrows.

Ever since Tsukishima told him stories, Ririren felt that she seemed to be very sorry about her ex-boyfriend,

At that time, he vaguely had this kind of thought...

Later, I heard that she had never had a date, and even left a suicide note for him...

The idea became clearer and more urgent.

However, it has been a long time, what did that ex-boyfriend think?

Most importantly, although Yue Dao seems to be regretful, has she really not forgotten her ex-boyfriend?

After finding out the identity of Ushishima Ruori, the Japanese people tried to contact him, and after confirming that the other party really knew Tsukishima Kaoru, he left a separate suicide note about Tsukishima's upcoming trip to the ISS. The matter explained to him-since he was not sure about Tsukishima's thoughts, he wanted to ask Ushido's thoughts first.

In fact, Ririren's phone call can be said to be quite presumptuous-I'm not sure what Kaoru Tsukishima thinks of you, or even if she still wants to see you, but please tell me, do you still like her?Do you want to come and see her?

Ushishima Ruori did not answer "yes" in affirmative.

But it flew over directly.

"Nambo-sang may also be hated for meddling in other people's business-but you still called me," Udo looked at him and said seriously, "Please allow me to thank you seriously, thank you very much You—just getting your call has helped me a lot."

(Solve one of my mind's mysteries,)

Thinking of this, Ushijima Ruori's face showed that slight elusive smile again.

(and have a chance to meet again,)

"I have no regrets," he said.

(This time, I will look at you carefully, and I will find the answer.)

Ushishima Ruori's tone was very flat, without any tone.

However, the Japanese people suddenly had a real feeling of facing the scene directly and "seeing a real person"...

(Ah, he is indeed the ex-boyfriend in Tsukishima Kaoru's story.)

(The "ex" who made her feel as if she was shining.)

He didn't know what kind of person Ushishima Ruori was, he didn't know that he was really grateful when he said thank you very much, and he didn't know how abnormal it was to have two smiles on his face.

But at this moment he felt his determination in this statement.

Whether this trip is popular, whether the ending will come true, how big the variables are... none of these can affect him.

That's what Tsukishima said, focused, unshakable single-mindedness.

(In fact, his answer is already very clear, isn't it.)

"Come on." Riri people smiled and sighed, "Maybe Yuedao will thank me."
