Chapter 18 Chapter 3 Good Night

1. No incest On the last weekend of October, Hisaki spent the whole day watching TV at home, but there was nothing he really wanted to watch.Eyes subconsciously watching the special program of social pulse and the golf game, etc., it was three o'clock in the afternoon before I knew it. Jiu Mu suddenly left the TV, went back to his room, began to dress, and prepared to go out. In the past, my wife helped me, but recently, Jiumu has almost done it by himself.He put on a checked suit jacket, brown trousers, and a tie, and returned to the living room with the golf bag he had prepared.The wife is tapping a calculator on the table.The gift-giving season at the end of the year is approaching, and she is probably estimating the price of each set of pottery.

I'm going out! Jiu Mu greeted her, and she took off her presbyopic glasses and turned around as if she felt it. Are you not coming back tonight? Go to a party first, then go to the hotel in Sengokuhara, Hakone, and play golf tomorrow. Jiu Mu went directly to the entrance, and his wife came to see him off later: I also have an appointment in Ginza at six o'clock, and I will be back later in the evening. Jiu Mu nodded, picked up the ball bag and walked out the door. In fact, he was going to meet Rinko quietly today, and he was just wearing a golf bag as a cover.However, what Jiu Mu just said was not all lies.

There is an award ceremony at the hotel in Akasaka this evening, and it is true that he will be staying at the Xianshiyuan hotel tonight, but the award ceremony is organized by the calligraphy club related to Rinko, and only he and Rinzi will go to the Xianshiyuan hotel. Generally speaking, it's not too outrageous, it's just that he has concealed the fact that he has a female counterpart.Needless to say, this is deceiving my wife, but it may not be good to be honest.Between couples who have been together for many years and their relationship has cooled slightly, moderate deception can be regarded as a kind of considerate expression.

It takes nearly an hour's drive from the Hisaki House in Sakurashincho, Setagaya to the Akasaka Hotel where the award ceremony is held. Jiu Mu drove the car by himself, thinking about his wife who had just said goodbye. Speaking of which, my wife has no particular shortcomings. She is six years younger than Jiumu and is forty-eight this year. Because of her round face, she looks younger than her actual age.When she first left for work, her young male co-workers said she was delighted that she looked at least five years younger, which might have been more than flattery. She has an ordinary appearance, a cheerful personality, and is impeccable in housework and raising her only daughter. She also gets along well with her mother-in-law who passed away ten years ago.It's just that her reassuring presence of above reproach can sometimes make married life so lacking in excitement that it becomes a drawback.

Jiu Mu hasn't had sex with his wife for almost ten years. Originally, he didn't want much, and he disappeared naturally. Now it is more appropriate to say that she is his wife, rather than his life partner. Some colleagues advocate the fallacy of not bringing work and sex home, and the relationship between Jiu Mu and his wife is almost like this. Perhaps this is a man's selfish way of saying that it is difficult to feel excited about a wife who has lived together for more than 20 years and knows everything clearly.Living together for such a long period of time, it is more appropriate to say that they are close relatives than that they are wives. Out of this feeling, even some willful men even say that incest is not allowed.

In any case, after twenty-five years of living together after marriage, the husband and wife no longer have romantic feelings and passions, but only stability.In other words, the relationship between men and women chooses one of stability or passion, and it is too greedy to have both. It's not to confirm this statement, but at the moment Jiu Mu is pursuing the latter and indulges in it. Even though it was the evening of the weekend, the road was unexpectedly crowded, and it was too early when I went out. It seemed that I had to catch the ceremony at five o'clock, so there might not be enough time.After driving through the particularly congested Shibuya and Aoyama Roads, Hisaki drove towards Akasaka.Looking at the golf bag on the passenger seat, he couldn't help showing a wry smile.

So far, I have gone on overnight trips with Rinko several times, and each time I always go directly from the company to the destination.To be honest, that would be easier. Today is a holiday and it is not easy to go out. After thinking about it for a long time, I had to say that I went out to play golf with my friends. He told his wife last night, and his wife didn't seem particularly suspicious on the surface. When she went out today, she looked the same as usual. Jiu Mu thought to himself that his wife must not have discovered his relationship with Rinko.But on second thought, maybe she had already seen through everything.She didn't express jealousy and anger very strongly, and she always lived at her own pace leisurely. It is not known whether she is really like this in her heart, at least on the surface, Jiumu thinks she is.In short, Jiu Mu is convinced of her personality, and she keeps having affairs.

But seeing his wife's unchanging composure always made him think that she seemed to see through everything and knew that in the end her husband would always come home. However, this time alone is a little different from the past. It's weird for me to say this, and I'm really moved, but she still looks leisurely and calm. What's going on? Is it because you are passionate about your job as a pottery consultant?Or also have a favorite man?Although he didn't think that someone would seduce his wife who was nearly fifty years old, but considering that he was older, it seemed that he couldn't completely deny this possibility.

If his wife also had an affair, he would not feel better after all, but based on his current position, he has no right to criticize her at all. It was 4:50 when we arrived at the hotel, only ten minutes before the awards ceremony started. Jiu Mu parked the car in the parking lot and came to the venue on the second floor. Many calligraphers and related people had already gathered at the entrance. Hisaki walked through the group to the reception and signed.Rinko walked over as if she had been waiting for a long time. Rinko is wearing a lavender kimono today with a white embroidered kimono obi, her hair is tied into a bun with a pearl hairpin.When I got closer, I saw small chrysanthemums painted on the chest of the kimono.

Hisaki was fascinated, and Rinko looked surprised. What's the matter? Nothing, it's too beautiful. Rinko gives a completely different impression in kimono or western clothes.She looks cute and sympathetic when she wears a western dress, but she looks reserved and calm when she wears a kimono, more like a seductive married woman. I haven't seen you coming, I'm so worried. There are many cars on the road. Hisaki followed Rinko into the venue and sat in the back of the center. Then you can wait for me here. Where are you? I will sit in the front, and after the ceremony, a simple reception will be held in the next room. You can come too.

Hisaki nodded, Rinko turned and moved to the front seat, Jiumu saw that the kimono belt behind her was a fan pattern drawn by Futaba.
