white night syndrome

Chapter 71 062. Pomelo Moon
"It's around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, so it should be time for dinner."

Li Ming stretched his waist, stood up, staring at a certain corner in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

After all, eating is the most important thing in life, Li Ming took his thoughts away from what he had just done, and carefully planned where to go for dinner next, of course, it is also possible to cook by himself in the office
Thinking of this, Li Ming glanced at the cupboard at the counter by the door of the office. There were kitchen utensils and everything in it, but due to the mental exhaustion caused by the daydream he had just experienced, and the fact that he closed his eyes and rested his mind, he did not sleep well, so he immediately dismissed it. that thought.

Li Ming wanted to go to the ramen shop he went to at noon to solve it casually, but he quickly thought of a series of things that happened before, and that guy Watanabe Naoji didn't know where he went, who knows if he would be ambushing near the ramen shop , Then wait for the opportunity to frame yourself again.

——Although Mr. "The Stone by the River" has already explained the punishment that Watanabe deserves.

While thinking this way, Li Ming realized that he had already unscrewed the wooden door of the office and walked outside.

At night, the dark night sky dispels the dazzling and warm sunlight of the day, completely covering the whole world. This is the time when Li Ming is most relaxed.

Just like what he thought just now, in order to avoid the ambush by Watanabe Naotsu, Li Ming walked in the opposite direction to the ramen shop.

The office is located in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, within the Tokyo metropolitan area, so even at night, there are still many pedestrians on the road, some boys and girls are holding each other together, and some are watching from the side of the road, no one will Notice that Li Ming is a guy who almost blends into the night.

After lighting the last cigarette, Li Ming looked a little vicissitudes in the crowd, lifted his bangs on his forehead, and his eyes stayed on an izakaya called "Yuzuki".

Izakaya, as a traditional Japanese tavern, provides drinks and meals to customers. Generally speaking, it is basically a gathering place for groups of friends. Li Ming, who stayed in front of the izakaya for a long time, fell down. It seemed a little out of place.

He has been in Japan for three years. Apart from being busy with entrusting and investigating his own private affairs on weekdays, he doesn't have much time to enjoy life in Japan. In addition, he has been diagnosed with White Night Syndrome in recent years. There is no time to fight white dreams.

Naturally, the number of times I visit an izakaya can be counted on one hand.

"When was the last time you went to an izakaya?"

Li Ming thought this way, the last time, he and Jiang Wenkan came together, drinking and chatting happily together, well, of course it is the communication of text and language, although it is not convenient, but that is the happiest thing he can do. Treasured moments.

Not long after standing not far from the izakaya, Li Ming still decided to leave this place, this warm and dazzling place.

Was he supposed to be a loner from birth?
"Hey? Li Ming? Mr. Li, are you here too?"

A strange voice came from behind him. Looking at the reputation, the man in front of him had a pair of broken black-rimmed glasses on his nose. Although he looked a little tired, he was neatly dressed and exuded an inexplicable heroic spirit.

Li Ming tilted his head slightly, his face was a bit dazed.

"You also came to the izakaya to eat? Alone? What a coincidence, that guy Kuroki said he couldn't come because of something, so I came to the izakaya alone."

black wood?

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, if the man in front of him had something to do with Dr. Heimu, it would probably explain why he knew him.

just
If you look carefully, the man in front of you can speak Japanese fluently, but there are always some strange accents mixed in. Is this the accent from Kansai?It seems not.

"Let's go, don't be so restrained. Hei Mu has long said that you are rather indifferent to others, and now it seems that it is exactly what he said."

The man stretched, put his right hand on Li Ming's right shoulder, and pushed him into the izakaya involuntarily.

January is the winter season, although Li Ming didn't feel the temperature drop outside the izakaya, but when the man lifted the curtain that blocked the lights of the izakaya, a warmth hit his face instantly.

The izakaya in front of me was the same as the previous izakaya. There were a lot of people. Some Japanese social animals who didn’t even have time to take off their suits shouted, laughed and clinked glasses, and told some dirty jokes. Of course, there were also some young couples sitting in the corner and making out with each other, crowded and warm. The feeling of feeling arises spontaneously in Li Ming's heart.

In an instant, he felt that he was a bit out of place with everything in front of him, and subconsciously stepped back.

However, the familiar-looking man beside him pushed him to the table closest to the counter as if he didn't know it.

"The atmosphere at Yuzuki Izakaya is good, right? Although when I was working in the hospital, I had to treat all the patients with a straight face to show my majesty, but once I came here, I relaxed a lot."

The man took off his black-rimmed glasses, put them in his pocket, took a deep breath, rubbed his eyes, and grinned to expose his canine teeth.

"Ah, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself after talking so much, I'm sorry Li Ming, my surname is Yuan, and my name is Qingyu." The man showed a kind smile.

"The current occupation is the administrator of the "Dream Library" at Kitazawa Hospital, you should be able to understand, it's the warehouse. "

"Dream Library"?
Hearing these five words, Li Ming subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the silver key in his pocket, showing a puzzled expression.

"I know what you're thinking, did Blackwood give you a silver key before, and that key is the key to open the dream library."

Yuan Qingyu supported his head with one hand, and tapped the table with the other hand, waiting for the owner of the izakaya to hand over the menu.

"I'm very familiar with that guy Kuroki. Although I'm very annoyed at the fact that he gave the key to the patient casually, don't worry, I will never take back your key."

"I also heard Kuroki say a lot about you, about your hometown, about your um, about your illness."

Yuan Qingyu paused for a moment, as if he was considering his speech.

"Of course I've also heard about your attitude towards Shiratori Asahi. Although Shiratori's behavior and character are indeed suspicious, your vigilance is indeed higher than others."

Li Ming couldn't help snorting, this is his way of dealing with people, if Yuan Qingyu's next comment is not used to it, then he plans to slap the table and leave immediately.

Speaking of which, when the air was about to stagnate, the owner of the izakaya wearing an apron handed over the menu with a smile on his face, and then went to work on other tables.

I glanced at the layout of the izakaya again. Sure enough, [-]:[-] pm is the peak time for eating dinner. In addition, some social animals in Japan have already left work at this time. The water vapor permeating the upper floor of the room makes the atmosphere of the izakaya even more lively.

"By the way, what do you want to eat? I'm treating you today."

When Yuan Qingyu's voice came, Li Ming withdrew his eyes and looked at the menu on the table full of Japanese characters and pictures.

"The business of Yuzuki Izakaya is really busy. I remember that when I came here years ago, I used the machine to order food. Now because there are too many customers and there is no place to go, I use the most original menu to order. There are always different types. That feeling."

Looking at the menu, the price of beer is 190 yen, and those fried chicken skewers, chicken skin, chicken heart, chicken balls, and chicken butt are basically [-] to [-] yen a piece, which is quite cheap.

Li Ming glanced at Yuan Qingyu who was staring at him with interest, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Are you thinking that the dishes in the izakaya are very cheap? Look at them with the eyes of others. The quantity and price of the dishes are actually a complete match, because Japanese people generally don't eat a lot when they go to the izakaya. They basically drink and chat. What."

Japanese?
Li Ming was stunned for a moment, the man in front of him who called himself Yuan Qingyu said these three words in such an onlooker tone, isn't he a native of Japan?

In other words, like Li Ming, they are all living in Japan temporarily.

"Only Chinese people go to izakaya to eat as a meal. Usually, they will eat [-] to [-] yen, but the Japanese can't eat so much."

　I must recommend you to Yuzuki Izakaya in Chiba City
