Remembering the fresh touch at that time, Hisaki looked up at Rinko again. This kimono suits you so well! From the left chest to the vicinity of the kimono belt, the plum blossoms are in full bloom. Compared with the brilliance of the cherry blossoms, the tranquility of the plum blossoms is even clearer, and it really looks like a scorpion. I made this at the end of the year, and I just want to wear it during the Chinese New Year this year. Having a relationship after appreciating the plum blossoms, and now she is wearing a plum blossom kimono to meet again, which incites the hearts of men at the beginning of the year even more.

Rinko picked up the spoon and tasted the soup that was just served. Her upright posture, her elbows slightly outstretched, and the gesture of scooping up the soup with the spoon were so beautiful and stylish. Kuki stared blankly for a while, then said in a low voice: I still think you are more like a plum blossom than a cherry blossom. How to say?Rinko stopped drinking the soup. Cherry blossoms are beautiful, but they are too gorgeous and exaggerated. In comparison, plum blossoms are quiet but not detrimental to their beauty. Wouldn't it be too simple? How come, but elegant and light.

In the past, when people talked about flowers, they meant plum blossoms, right? People before the Nara period really loved plum blossoms, and cherry blossoms began to be admired after entering the Heian period. However, besides the flowers, plum blossoms are also worth watching. Rinko nodded, and moved her eyes to the hem of the kimono. There are only branches and no flowers under this dress. The painter didn't say that cherry blossoms painted flowers and plums painted trees, but plums are still worth seeing for their cold branches. At this moment, Jiu Mu thought of a haiku about plum blossoms.

There is a beautiful line about plums, which is a branch of dried plums from Ishida Bo Township, just like the dead lying on his back. Only after I said it did I realize that Rinko's father had just passed away. It’s not that plum blossoms are suitable for the dead, but that plum blossoms have an indescribably clear and solemn feeling, just like cherry blossoms are a metaphor for the illusion of worldly affairs, and the quiet and tense atmosphere of plum blossoms can convey the way of life of the person. I understand the feeling. But I find it incredible. how?isn't it? no it just occurred to me

Immediately, what came to Jiumu's mind was Rinko's bewitching posture when she was distracted and infatuated. Is it plum blossom or cherry blossom?If it is a plum blossom, it may be similar to a plum with its upper and lower branches intertwined and dancing wildly. As if he wanted to shake off this thought, Jiu Mu cut the main dish of roasted duck breast and asked: Have you been there earlier this year? You can't go in mourning, how about you? Hearing her question back, Jiu Mu didn't mention the matter of going with his wife, but only said: I went, I got a lucky lottery.

Wasn't it the same last year! You do remember clearly. In the first lunar month a year ago, Hisaki and Rinko had been to Hie Shrine in Akasaka. It was already the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, so it was a bit late for the first visit.However, the two of them really became close quickly after joining their palms together in front of God to worship and draw lots. So you're not going this year? I want to go, but it is better not to go. Hisaki agrees.He pretended to ask casually: Where is your husband? He won't go. Rinko spoke too simply, Jiu Mu stopped the knife in his hand:

It's not so strict to mourn for father-in-law! It's not because of this, it's because he never does unnecessary things. pointless? It seemed to him that things like the first visit and the drawing of lots were boring. Because it's scientists Yeah? Her tone was cold, Jiu Mu quickly changed the subject: How long are you staying in Yokohama? Go back tomorrow. So soon Jiumu thought she would stay for another two or three days, your husband's school is still on holiday, right? Rinko shook her head lightly, and said loudly: The cat is still waiting for me. Rinko did have a cat, but after hearing that she wanted to go back because of the cat, Jiu Mu didn't understand.

Your husband has been away too? He seems to have gone back to his hometown on New Year's Day, and he may be at home after the second year of junior high school. just him He could not live without being in his study, and was only happy there when he was surrounded by books. Because you are a scholar! Rinko didn't answer, Hisaki took a sip of wine: If your husband is at home, the cat will be fine, right? No, he doesn't care about animals. Isn't he a doctor? So he doesn't pay attention to the cat anymore, Chacha went to the veterinarian last year because of worsening urination.

Cha-cha is her cat's pet name. At that time, he said that it was useless to go to the veterinarian, and it was better to just look at it casually, and just take some treatment that didn't cure the disease at all, so he just gave up.But after going to the vet, the cat did feel better, but he said the treatment was too expensive. Indeed, cats and dogs do not have health insurance, and the treatment costs are indeed too high. Hisaki agreed, Rinko frowned and said: But the cat is also in pain, it's too pitiful to ignore it. Of course, cats are also family members. If it is given to him to look after, it might be used for animal experiments.

How can it be In short, he and I are people from different worlds. The sommelier came over and poured wine into Rinko and Hisaki's glasses. Watching him fill up the wine and turn his gaze out of the window, the lower realm is like an ocean of light.Thinking that there are people living under every light, and men and women are paired with the same breath, he feels incredible and a little scary. Of course, there are loving partners and couples who seem to be divorced. Rinko and her husband may be a seemingly incompatible couple among them. Looking directly at the ocean of light like this, Jiu Mu gradually saw something clearly in his heart.

To be honest, until now, he still doesn't understand why Rinko gets close to someone like him.He even imagined that she may have had an affair because she felt that her husband was a bit boring, and at the same time wanted to taste the thrill of emotional infidelity. But hearing Rinko's words just now, I feel that she didn't do this out of boredom and wanting to have an affair.Although she only revealed a little bit, her husband seems to be the kind of person who thinks the lottery is boring and completely negative. He is always calm and sober, and he doesn't care about pets such as cats and dogs. Rinko. What she said seems to be just trivial things, but they are very important to the parties involved. In short, these things cannot be analyzed logically, because they are related to sensibility and value issues, and they cannot be easily compromised. It is also difficult to be considerate and understand each other. Rinko's husband has a handsome appearance and became a professor at a young age. He is an elite member, but his potential personality and feelings may be different from Rinko's. Perhaps it was the dissatisfaction with her husband or the feeling of being out of place that pushed Rinko's heart outward, which led to her getting close to herself.
