Me and the Doll Girl of Zhidiao Island

Chapter 103 101. Tokyo Girl Wants Romance (4)

In a blink of an eye, at the end of July, Zhiniao High School's final exams were over.

Now, Jiang Yuanshen feels that he is drifting away from Jinghai Shenyue.

She is busy now, either going to the shrine to do activities or going home. The relationship between herself and her is very delicate. Since "failed to leave", Jinghai Shenyue has become a close presence beside Jiang Yuanshen.

She was obviously in the next class, and would look at each other in the corridor every day, but Jiang Yuanshen felt that her desire to leave had long since vanished, probably because of her reappearing mother.

Thinking about it this way, of course she had a reason to stay, but Jiang Yuanshen never asked.

On the other side, he and Kurosawa Reai also drifted away.

Kurosawa Reai didn't call to reprimand him, because she thought it was because of the failure of Zhiniao Island's communication.

As a result, after Zhiniao Island's communication network returned to normal recently, Jiang Yuanshen's text messages flooded in like a newly built adobe house.

Only the information about Kurosawa Reai is empty, as if she never existed from the beginning.

If she took the initiative to contact herself, it would be an admission of defeat to a certain extent.

Jiang Yuanshen was a little worried about whether to send a message to Kurosawa Reai, and he entered in the dialog——

"what are you doing recently?".

After being silent for a while, he deleted it again. This feeling of not fulfilling the promise before, but also holding the contradiction that might make her fall deeper and deeper, and now being reluctant to part with her made him sick for no reason.

One afternoon after school in July, Jiang Yuanshen left school with Chao Kong Yaoxing as usual, and took the tram that was already in operation to go home.

Suddenly, looking at the message that popped up on the phone, Xiaozui couldn't help making a sound of astonishment, and then brought the phone to Jiang Yuanshen.

Jiang Yuan Shen looked at the phone screen, and then also froze.

It is the competition news of the Poland·Dongying Chopin International Junior Piano Competition Asia, and it says "Concerto Group B Award Winning Results".

Immediately afterwards, a photo with a high number of likes was posted below.

Kurosawa Reai, who was wearing a black dress, was tall and slender, with a cold face, she was astonishingly beautiful and astonishing.

She was clearly winning the award, but her expression was very stiff, and she abruptly turned into a funeral scene.

"She is a piano genius just like her mother!"

"It's a piano girl! She's so pretty!"

"This person will definitely become a world-famous pianist, right?"

"Is putting on a dirty face an act of faking? A disgusted face that came to participate in a kindergarten competition."

And next to her was a teenager wearing thin glasses.

He had a confident smile on his face, he was obviously No.2, standing beside Kurosawa Reai seemed to be Prince Charming.

When he saw the comment below, "The two are really compatible!", Jiang Yuanshen's breathing was a little short, and the doubts in his heart were like a snake, wriggling non-stop, biting his heart——

"Is this person Kurosawa's boyfriend?"

"Student Kurosawa is so good, this competition should be very professional!" Chaokong Yaoxing opened his mouth enviously, and smiled wryly, "I am really far from her."

But Jiang Yuanshen couldn't laugh at all, not even in the mood to smile wryly. The shock of seeing this photo was no less than being hit hard on the head with a baseball.

It turned out that I cared about Kurosawa Reai more than I imagined.

Chaokong Yaoxing looked at Jiang Yuanshen beside him with a smile, his thin chest rose and fell with unnatural breathing, and she noticed that the boy's skin was redder than when he got in the car.

Subconsciously, she took back her phone and looked at the funny animal videos on social networking sites pretending to be relaxed.

"Seeing that the conflict between the two was about to break out, the bear suddenly lay down and slept on the food obtained by the wolf—"

However, the funny scenes in the video never made her smile.

When Kurosawa Renai left, perhaps because he was with Jiang Yuanshen now, Chaokong Yaoxing had a "complicity complex" in his heart.

The relationship between the two was almost broken, but he took advantage of the opportunity, and even felt a little happy that an excellent girl like Kurosawa Liai left.

Chaokong Yaoxing took a short breath. She understood that this was unfair to Kurosawa and it was a complete mistake. She also understood what she should say to Jiang Yuanshen as the closest person.

but--

She carefully gazed at the side face of the young man beside her, feeling both envious and happy.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yuanshen asked suddenly, as if he noticed that Chaokong Yaoxing had been staring at him.

Chaokong Yaoxing replied in a panic, "No, it's just that you seem to be very tired recently."

Jiang Yuanshen still couldn't forget that photo in his mind, but he didn't want to make it too obvious.

With his arms folded, he looked out of the car window calmly and said, "It's too early for you to worry about me."

"What is this nonsense"

Chaokong Yaoxing pretended to be discouraged and turned away her flushed face, but after a second, she forced her face to look at him, just wanting him to see that flushed face and cute smile.

As a result, his gaze was always focused on the outside of the car window, Zhao Kong shook her lips and pursed her lips, and when the sun shone into the end of the carriage, her gaze also followed.

The scenery outside the window began to turn slightly red, and the snow-white clouds gradually became rusty and mottled crimson.

Saying goodbye at the station, Zhaokong Yaoxing went home alone.

Obviously the two are looking at the same scenery, but why do you always feel that what he really wants to see is completely different from yourself?

Chaokong Yaoxing whispered to himself softly, the streets are as far away as dreams.

——I liked him first, I think, Xiao Shen also liked me, but I don't know if it was after I liked him that he liked me again, or did they like each other?
——But I never heard the word "like" from his mouth.

"Forget it, go home."

Muttering something, Chaokong shook Xing to draw the curtain on the drama that comforted him.

◇

A few rays of lemon-yellow sunlight extended from the gaps in the continuous cumulonimbus clouds to the ground, and suddenly, raindrops fell, instantly soaking the ground.

The neighbor's wisteria bloomed, and this time the flowering time was half a month later than before.

The bright purple flowers in full bloom glisten in the abundant rain, and the crystal water drops stay on the petals, reflecting the world.

Jiang Yuanshen got up early, took an umbrella and went out.

Finally, we came to Mano Port.

As soon as I got off the station, the smell of the tide of the sea came to my face, and the sea breeze sent the sound of stacked waves.

Under the cloudy sky, there is still a cold port with the aftershock of the earthquake.

Shimizu Jian was wearing light brown one-piece fishing pants and was sitting on the railing of the pier. When he saw Jiang Yuanshen approaching, he smiled heartily and waved to him.

"Here! Here—!"

Jiang Yuanshen walked over holding an umbrella.

"The job is very simple. It is to help move the fish cages on the boat into the warehouse. The work clothes are ready for you, so go change them."

Shimizu Jian patted Jiang Yuanshen's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile,
"Don't worry, there are very few ships today, only eight, and it is estimated that they can be moved during the day."

Jiang Yuan nodded carefully, and the summer vacation started, because it was very difficult to find a job on Zhiniao Island, and there were no cram schools that relied on brainpower. Most of the students spent their summer vacation on the island, or they made an appointment with friends to go out to play on the island.

Jiang Yuan Shen then and Shimizu Jian found a job in Mano Port, that is, when the big fishing boats came, they would carry the goods to the warehouse together.

Not all fishing boats, but merchant ships with other goods also need to be moved.

It's physical work, but it's not impossible to think of exercise. The salary is calculated according to the number of ships. It takes three hours to move a ship, which is about [-] yen.

Jiang Yuanshen quickly put on the one-piece fishing pants, but there was not a single boat in the port at this time.

Shimizu Jian supported the railing with both hands, and sat on it directly, not caring whether he would fall into the sea or not.

"Jiang Yuan, you can't go on like this."

Qing Shuijian's tone was extremely dignified, Jiang Yuanshen froze in the face of his uncharacteristically solemn appearance.

"Why can't it go on like this?"

"Uh..." Shimizu Ken lowered his head, stuck his feet on the railing, and kept his upper body balanced, "I don't know if I should say it, but don't you think you are very listless now?"

Jiang Yuanshen supported the railing with both arms, the dark blue sea reflected the dazzling metallic luster, a small fishing boat set sail next door, and with the roar of the engine, it was drawn into a thin line on the horizon.

Facing Qing Shuijian's words, Jiang Yuanshen didn't know what to refute. These days, he could feel that he was living shamelessly under the ruthless impetus of time.

Being exposed by Qing Shuijian, Jiang Yuanshen was desperate.

"I don't know if it's another big earthquake or something, but how about trying to focus on something new now?"

"New stuff?"

"Well, if it were me, I would go to play baseball with my friends every day, or even go fishing, and then play games together for a whole day, but for a top student like you, I think you should like reading books more? Best It’s those literary books, and then write them with a big brain.”

Shimizu Jian had an extremely surprised expression on his face, he jumped off the railing, walked up to Jiang Yuanshen and said,
"Wait a minute, Kurosawa-san, didn't she win that amazing award recently! You can do it too! I heard those people say that you are a genius!"

Jiang Yuanshen closed his lips tightly and said nothing, Shimizu Jian just looked at him quietly.

Then, he frowned, moved his face closer, and finally reacted, took a deep breath, and wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Kurosawa-san left, maybe it's because you quarreled with her?"

"."

Seeing Jiang Yuan's cautious acquiescence, Shimizu Jian's mouth moved like a goldfish.

"No way, Jiang Yuan, how can you make a beautiful girl angry? Do you know how many boys in this society are going to die alone? Listen to me carefully. The government's white paper said last year that the marriage rate in this country is only 50% Left and right, that means you and I, one of them may not be able to get married in the future!"

Looking at Shimizu Jian with emotion on his face, Jiang Yuanshen smiled softly: "Then I want to thank you."

Shimizu Jian thought he was really thanking him, so he put his hands on his hips and said, "You're welcome, we are friends."

"Thank you for being my friend."

At this time, a fishing boat appeared in the distance. Jiang Yuanshen and Shimizu Jian arranged their work clothes and were ready to start working.

◇

The cumulonimbus has been raining, and Jiang Yuanshen and Shimizu Ken are running back and forth in the rain wearing hoods and one-piece fishing pants.

There is no rest time for handling. After the cargo of the previous ship has been moved, the next ship will enter the port. The two and other workers need to continue to move.

Until 11:30, the rain finally stopped, and the two had time to rest, and went to work at [-] pm.

Chaokong Yaoxing brought a lunch box early and stood aside waiting for the two to get off work.

"Where to eat?" she asked.

"Just here, there is no sun today, the wind is comfortable, and there are few people."

Jian Shimizu carefully held a wooden box in his arms and placed it on the aisle of the pier near the sea, and brought three small plastic chairs, the kind that children in kindergartens sit on.

Jiang Yuanshen took off his shoes from his swollen and painful feet, and let out a long and exhausted breath as soon as he sat down.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoshen." Chaokong Yaoxing said while opening the lunch box.

It's meat sauce steak bento, tempura, egg roll, and fragrant miso soup.

"Nah, nah, it should be mine, right? Yes, yes?" Shimizu Ken said enviously.

Zhaokong shook his lips in wonder, took out another bento box and said, "I really didn't want to do it."

"Thank you Chao Kong!" Shimizu Ken put his hands together with a smile on his face.

"But there are leftovers, and I'll cook them for you by the way."

"Well, being arrogant again."

Ken Shimizu opened the bento box with anticipation, only to find that it was not as rich as Jiang Yuanshen, it was just ordinary garlic chili soba noodles.

Seeing the astonishment on his face, Chaokong Yaoxing glanced at him funny:
"Who will show you arrogantly?"

"Wow!" Qing Shuijian put his head in his hands, "I did the same physical work as Jiang Yuan! If I don't eat enough, I will pass out in the afternoon!"

"Let's eat together." Jiang Yuanshen said.

Chaokong Yaoxing said hurriedly: "No, no, no! He still has beef curry under him! He didn't see clearly!"

"Oh, it's double-layered, haha, sorry~~"

The three of them chatted while eating at the open-air pier. It took a few minutes to finish eating the bento made by Chaokong Yaoxing.

"Take a good rest, I'll go back and clean up." Chaokong Yaoxing said to Jiang Yuanshen in a gentle voice, and then walked towards the bus stop.

Qing Shuijian asked Jiang Yuanshen to go back to the staff lounge to rest together, but he didn't want to go, because the smell of fish inside was too heavy to be at ease.

Jiang Yuanshen sat on a small chair stretching his body and sighed heavily.

The railing divides the blue sea into several pieces, most of the white paint sprayed on it has fallen off, and the exposed part has long been rusted.

The sea at this time is extremely heavy, far less delicate and moving than the sparkling sea on a sunny day.

Jiang Yuanshen simply didn't look at it, took out his phone, and frantically searched for the video of Kurosawa Renai's performance.

Her piano sound was as clear as crystal, and she won the competition without any suspense and won the first place in the group.

If there is no accident, she will still get an excellent ranking in the next Asian competition, and maybe she will be included in the album directly and make her debut successfully.

The sound of the piano continued to flow from the speakers, and Jiang Yuanshen felt a little embarrassed sitting on the pier, but this was also the position he chose directly.

Jiang Yuanshen is like a sleepy fish, closing his eyes and motionless, letting his thoughts fly, and even leaning back involuntarily.

Then, he slowly "falls" backwards.

He fell badly on the wooden board, and the small stool was kicked aside by his foot trying to maintain his balance.

Because the work clothes on his body were not very clean, Jiang Yuanshen didn't bother to take pictures, so he stood up and walked on the creaky wooden floor.

When he was about to pick up the small stool, a small blue object was glimpsed out of the corner of his eye at a clean and undamaged white railing.

He thought it was the sea, but found that the little object was bluer than the sea.

It was a blue meat bun tied to the railing alone by a piece of white satin.

Jiang Yuanshen couldn't help doubting his eyes, he stretched out his hand to touch the blue meat bun, as expected, it was made of silicone.

He was taken aback, and hurriedly started to untie the silk, but found that it was tied in a knot that was difficult to untie.

Jiang Yuanshen was very anxious, and it took a long time to untie the knot of the silk and satin.

When it was untied for a moment, it was found that the word "love" was written on the white silk and satin.

Like a distant letter written by someone to someone, slowly swaying in the wind in the field of vision.

Jiang Yuanshen's nose suddenly tingled, and he didn't know what expression to put on.

But in the softest depth of his heart, there is an unknown flower quietly blooming.

At just the right time, light fell from the gaps in the cumulonimbus clouds, and the water stains on Jiang Yuanshen's back shone dazzlingly.

The surface of the sea also began to emit vein-like blue light, and the countless glowing veins were the warm current flowing in the body.

It used to be possible to meet and find time, but now it seems that it is separated by vicissitudes of life.
