"Miss me?" Inoue gritted his teeth and opened his arms, pushing the luggage cart past him without looking.

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

"Hey, why is Takatsuki still so indifferent..." Seeing Shinobu walking in front alone, Inoue simply walked over to stop Shinobu's shoulder, "I thought you could visit your lover when you return to Japan, maybe your mood will... .”

Seeing Shinobu stopped, Inoue realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly covered his mouth, "I was wrong, I'm not joking with you, let's go to the hotel."

"Don't you need to go to a relative's house?"

"After grandpa passed away, why don't we all hang out anymore, besides, it's more convenient to stay in a hotel." Inoue smiled, but didn't let go of Shinobu's arm.

As long as the volcano does not make trouble, Kagoshima City will be refreshingly clean from the eyes to the nasal cavity.

Yong had visited Kagoshima City many years ago, and he had only one impression of that time, the rain in winter—warm, because of the volcano, it seemed to have some mineral flavor.

Finding an ordinary hotel, Yong left his luggage behind.I have already figured it out in my mind, even if I fail to persuade myself, it is not a waste of time, at least go to the hot spring to relax, and go to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze.

The city at night seems to be brighter than Tokyo because it is close to the sea-the flickering lights and the starlight on the water collide and dizzy on the waves, dangling like playing hide-and-seek.After eating something simple, sitting by the fountain for a while, with two cans of beer, Yong went back to the hotel early to lie down.I don't know if it was because of tiredness, or because the thing I was going to do made me feel at ease, Yong quickly fell asleep and had no dreams all night.Early the next morning, with the address he finally got to, Yong set off with the souvenirs he bought before he came.

Taxi drives all the way from the city to the foot of the mountain.The weather was a bit dull, with pale lead-colored clouds covering the top of the mountain, and even the mountain was stained with a thick color.Looking out from the car window, you can see the whole city at a glance. The architectural style houses and half-height buildings at the end of the last century are vividly stacked, making the sea and volcanoes in the distance look like a huge painting.Sure enough, within a few minutes, the rain fell, pattering against the car windows.

After ringing the doorbell, the aunt who opened the door looked suspicious and asked Yong for a long time.Following her into the house, Yong felt his heartbeat gradually speeding up.

"Mr. Miyagi, it's really been a long time."

"It's really rude to visit suddenly."

"Our family Hiroki has entrusted you to take care of us all these years."

"Where, I just want to say that he has taken care of me a lot over the years."

I had a brief meeting with Hiroki's mother before.After a few years, seeing her today, I feel a little less energetic than before, but the smile is still as friendly as before.

"That child's personality has been like this since he was a child, and he must have caused you a lot of trouble."

"No, no." Wearing a dark smoky gray kimono, Hiroki's mother's smiling eyes made Yong smile involuntarily.Hearing from Hongshu's mother that this is the house left by Grandpa Hongshu, it has some history, so I couldn't help looking around with some interest.After the aunt brought two cups of tea, she went to buy vegetables. Before leaving, Hongshu's mother told him to do what she was good at, which made Yong very embarrassed.

"Although it's rude, but... did the child cause trouble?" As soon as she stopped her calmness just now, a layer of tension appeared on Hiroki's mother's face.

"No, please don't worry." Yong put the teacup back in front of him.

"Sorry, because you came to visit unexpectedly, so..."

"It was my willful decision that surprised you." Yong stared into Hiroki's mother's eyes, "I want to tell you about his lover."

The rain stopped, and the sun finally pushed through the thick clouds, and the cobblestones spread in the yard shone brightly for an instant.

"It seems that you already know..." Hiroki's mother lowered her face, her eyes were gloomy, and she even stopped smiling.

"Yes, I have always known about it."

"I made you laugh." Hiroki's mother raised her eyes in disbelief, and then smiled awkwardly.

The old-fashioned clock tickled the faint depression in the air, and Hiroki's mother was holding a teacup on her lap, looking at the corridor.

"When the child was still young, he started to have his own ideas about everything." Seeing the figure of the young Hiroki, Hiroki's mother's face was flushed, "As long as it is something he believes, he will Persist in doing it without hesitation, even if you encounter many difficulties."

With a long sigh, Hiroki's mother lowered her eyes in embarrassment when she met Shangyong's gaze, and raised the teacup.

"Maybe I'm meddling in my own business, but I'm asking you today as Hiroki's friend."

"Mr. Miyagi..." Jianyong lowered his head solemnly, and Hiroki's mother blinked in surprise.

"Please, try to understand him; it's not for you to accept him, but try to understand." Yong squeezed his knees tightly, "I know, it's inappropriate to say such things from my position, but please listen What I want to say, is it okay?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Yes, what I want to say." Yong raised his face, "As a 'experienced person', that guy's senior, friend, I would like you to listen to my next words."

Ting Yong's tone was so earnest, Hong Shu's mother nodded after thinking for a moment: "I see, please tell me."

"It's a long story."

The fragrance of the trees in the yard was baked by the sun.In Yong's sincere and affirmative eyes, Hiroki's mother smiled and nodded.

"Finally here————" Putting the luggage into the locker, Inoue spread it directly on the bed.

"Why do you book a double room?"

"Eh? Shouldn't you be with me?" Inoue turned sideways and raised his head.

"When did I say I would accompany you?" Shinobu took Inoue's satchel from his shoulder and stood by the window.The densely packed crowd on the road downstairs moved quickly, and after dispersing, they each headed in their own direction, but I seemed to be standing in the middle of a field without a road.

"Okay." Shinobu suddenly whispered.

"what?"

"I said 'okay', I should change my mood," he smiled, although he knew that his smile was fake, "Staying at home is boring anyway."

"Then, let's go to Atami, no no, let's go to Kagoshima!"

"Okay, I have no objection."

"Wow! Happiness came so suddenly. The sea, hot springs, natural sand steaming, food, here I come!!!" Inoue yelled while lying on his back on the bed.

Shinobu turned around and sighed, there was a slender airplane cloud in the blue sky.
