Dragon Clan: Thought So Far

The sea breeze lifted the hair around Nono's ears. Her long hair was as curled as clouds, and the hem of her clothes was also curled like clouds.

The two of them stood side by side on the deserted beach, looking out at the rising and falling sea gulls. On the sparkling sea there was only a lonely fishing boat that was either going out to sea or returning to the sea.

"It's not as beautiful as I imagined." Nono was a little regretful.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath of the salty and wet sea breeze, squatted on the ground and picked up a little hermit crab with its head sticking out of the shell and spitting bubbles, and poked the little guy with his finger. .

"Because it's not dusk yet, when the sun sets, it's as beautiful as a dream here." Lu Mingfei said softly,

"Of course, it's possible that this town was originally beautified by my memory. Chu Zihang told me before that memory is an unreliable disk. One day, the things on it will slowly blur until they disappear. About Umezu Temple Town I have almost forgotten the memories.”

I only remember that day under the sunset, Eriyi hugged him like a cat, her petite body trembling slightly.

They actually knew that parting was ahead, but they still had to move forward.

Because living is not to die, but to go further and see more.

"It doesn't matter, you came with me, so this is the most beautiful place." Nono also said softly, "The place where you are is always the best."

Lu Mingfei was stunned and tilted his head to look at his senior sister. Nono's silhouette was so beautiful under the bright but not harsh winter sunshine that people's hearts trembled slightly. Her long eyelashes were swaying with the sea breeze, and her clear eyes reflected the blue sea and blue sky, as if they could encompass the whole world. Put it all in.

But the senior sister didn't look at him. She still looked at the fishing boat moored on the sea, as if looking at the magnificent country on the other side of the distant ocean.

"We can stay here until tomorrow, and then take an early morning flight back to Hokkaido." Lu Mingfei said, "Umezu Temple Town was considered a tourist attraction in Japan for a while. The Tokyo Love Story made this town in the southwest of Japan popular. Although there are very few tourists here except those who are nostalgic, there are still many shops in the town that are not closed.”

He had bought a porcelain doll for Eri here before. The store made it according to the girl's appearance. When he held it, it seemed like he was holding a miniature version of Eri in his hands.

Later, after the Tokyo mission, they returned to Kassel College. When the Japanese branch was sorting out Eri's belongings, they sent the porcelain doll to Lu Mingfei.

The back of the porcelain doll can be pried open, and inside is a small space like a piggy bank, but there are no yen or coins inside, only a handwritten note and a yellowed, unsealed photo.

The photo was of Lu Mingfei's back secretly taken by Erika with her mobile phone when she was in Umezuji Town. The note was handwritten in Japanese with "あなたが爱しいsakura".

"I missed you, Sakura."

Sakurai Nanami, the head of the Japanese branch at the time and the head of the Snake Qihachi family, made a special trip to Chicago for this purpose. She told Lu Mingfei that she had been studying pottery during her lifetime, and perhaps she wanted to create a portrait of Mr. Lu. By your side, it's a pity that Miss is no longer here, but Mr. Lu, your deeds are still inspiring our young people. As a reward, let this porcelain doll be by your side instead of Miss.

To this day, Lu Mingfei can't remember exactly how he got back to the dormitory that day. He only remembers that the dormitory was empty. It was summer, but it was so cold that it made people want to curl up.

However, the page of the PTSD medical record has been turned. In this world, Lu Mingfei walks cautiously, not to let fate take Eryi away from him again.

"We can take the mountain tram to the mountain to watch the sunset, just like you did with Eriki before." Nono said, "Before that, we have to find a place to stay tonight."

"There are many B\u0026Bs in Umezuji Town, and young people still come here to stay here every holiday." Lu Mingfei thought for a while and said,

"I know there is a themed bed and breakfast built on the site of a former mine on the mountain. I was in a hurry last time and didn't have the chance to try it out. Today we can go and have a look."

Before being popularized by "Tokyo Love Story" and becoming a tourist attraction, Umezu Temple Town was actually a little-known copper mine.

Many of the men in this area are miners, while the women are responsible for running the housework and educating their children at home.

Miners had to ride old-fashioned climbing cables up the mountain to mine every day. Later, the mine car was transformed into a sightseeing tram. The response was very good, and it eventually became one of the important attractions in Umezuji Town.

It’s just that fewer people come here now, and many scenic spots have become abandoned due to lack of funds for maintenance.

Lu Mingfei threw the hermit crab into the sea. The little thing jumped on the surface of the sea and flew to the depths. It must have been knocked dizzy.

He stretched out his hand to help Nono straighten her hair that was a little messy in the wind, and then touched the girl's head.

"If we go up the mountain, we have to take the tram to the shrine on the other side of town. It's a good time to take a stroll around the town," he said.

It was said that there were still many shops open, but in fact the crowds were really sparse. Nono bought six octopus balls from a mother-in-law selling octopus balls on the roadside. She bit off half of each ball and then put the other ones in half. Half of it was handed to Lu Mingfei's mouth, and Lu Mingfei swallowed it whole.

After eating, Nono blinked and poked Lu Mingfei's armpit with her slender fingers. She smiled crookedly and asked her junior brother, "Is it delicious? How does it compare with the white fungus and sago made by my junior sister?"

Lu Mingfei was choked and speechless, and he was a little terrified.

Tremella fuciformis and sago pudding are very meaningful foods to Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi. Last year, after the day of freedom, Lu Mingfei drank Finger's strong liquor and fell asleep for ten hours. After that, his junior sister brought her own Tremella fuciformis and sago pudding to sober him up.

As a result, the shy President Lu encountered the biggest Waterloo in his life. He was cruelly deprived of his first kiss by Jörmungandr, the king of the earth and mountains.

"Sister, please stop laughing at me..." Lu Mingfei said with a wry smile, "At that time, I never thought that I would be with my junior sister..."

"I didn't laugh at you, you guys wanted to hide it from me at that time." Nuo Nuo hummed with her hands on her hips, staring at Lu Mingfei with her beautiful eyes wide open, "Fortunately, I am smart and tenacious, otherwise I would have been kicked away by that little girl Xia Mi."

"How could that be, Senior Sister, I have liked you for the longest time in this life and the last life combined."

"Haha, Lu Mingfei, you really don't blush at all when you lie now." Nuo Nuo gritted her teeth, and the dark red hair tips jumped like a cloud in the sun.

She suddenly screamed and fell forward heavily. It turned out that Lu Mingfei, who was standing side by side, had one hand around Senior Sister's slender waist, and hugged this innocent and charming girl tightly into his arms.

In the bright sunshine, the two looked into each other's eyes and breathed in each other's ears. The thin south wind with the slightly cold breath from the sea quietly wrapped them.

The girl's pupils reflected the afternoon glow, as if rendering the whole eye into a gorgeous gold. Her lips were as bright as cinnabar, with a faint texture of rose petals. Her eyelashes were thick and reminiscent of soft silk. From behind the ears, a faint blush quietly climbed up her cheeks, and the corners of her eyes seemed to be hazy with mist.

Lu Mingfei buried his head in the long hair of his senior sister and sniffed, "It's the smell of cherry blossoms." He said.

"I used Eri's shampoo and shower gel last night..." Nono was a little ashamed.

For girls, shampoo is probably a very private prop, similar to a man's razor.

She didn't wait for Lu Mingfei's response, but felt in a trance that her lips were blocked by something hard and flexible. The man kissed her lips condescendingly, casting a huge shadow above her.

Nuonuo had no consciousness of closing her eyes when kissing, and Lu Mingfei was the same. So they embraced and kissed deeply in the sound of the tide that echoed between heaven and earth, and their dark pupils and wine-red pupils stared at each other quietly.

The wind blew, and the whole Meijin Temple Town was swept by the sound of wind chimes from nowhere. The wind tinkled in all directions, and the pink and white petals of winter cherry blossoms that probably floated from the mountains swirled around Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo.

The man's temperature that was like burning fire and the faint smell of logs made Nuonuo a little intoxicated. She fell deeper and deeper until a light hum came out of her nose that made Lu Mingfei's bones a little crisp, and the kiss finally ended.

The girl's eyes were blurred, and her two slender legs were tightly together. She gritted her teeth and hammered Lu Mingfei's heart with her fist.

"I still like the smell of Senior Sister." Lu Mingfei whispered in Nuonuo's ear. He took advantage of the girl's trance and suddenly picked her up horizontally, holding her in his arms as light as a flying bird.

Nuonuo blushed, but she didn't want to struggle. She just felt that Lu Mingfei really didn't know when he grew so strong and tall. It was effortless to pick her up. She curled up in his arms as if no one could bully her even if the whole world didn't like her.

"It's still a long time before sunset, otherwise, Senior Sister, let's go to the room first..." Lu Mingfei's Adam's apple rolled, and he looked hypocritical like a gentleman, but Nuonuo could clearly feel that something was hurting her through her coat.

"Lu Mingfei, you are so shameless..." Nuonuo hid her face in Lu Mingfei's open coat.

Lu Mingfei chuckled and pinched the gradually round and perky little buttocks of the senior sister. "Fingal said something to me, and I think it makes sense."

Nono curiously peeked out from her clothes: "What did you say?"

"Only shameless men have the opportunity to marry a beautiful woman..." Lu Mingfei looked at the cute and lovely appearance of the senior sister and couldn't stand it. He leaned over and kissed Nono on the cheek again.

"You're going to die!" Nono stretched out his hand to pinch the soft flesh on Lu Mingfei's waist. When this guy grimaced in pain, he took the opportunity to jump out of his arms and ran into the town with tight and narrow legs.

Lu Mingfei was stunned, a smile appeared on his face, and then he chased after him...

The town is really small. Walking along the mossy roadside, you can see the elementary school playground not far away. On the playground, little kids wearing round hats and wrapped up like penguins by their parents are chasing each other around, so that the town has a little life.

The whistle sounded suddenly. Nuonuo held Lu Mingfei's shoulder and stood on tiptoe on the upper edge of the roadside flower bed, looking towards the sea. There was the railway track connecting Umezuji-machi Station to Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture. A yellow slow train on the track was rumbling past the empty station. The station was surrounded by white railings with signs of "Umezuji Station" and "Tokyo Radio Station Locket" hung on them.

The ending of "Tokyo Love Story" was filmed at this small station. It was once a holy place for Japanese men and women to go on pilgrimage for love. The yellow train brought countless tourists from Tokyo. The small town of Umezu Temple City quickly became a famous tourist destination. resort.

But now everything has passed, and this place has returned to what it should have been, lonely, lonely, and poor.

They walked through the entire town, and actually saw only three restaurants. Each restaurant had its signature grilled fish and grilled snapper. The streets of the town were old and full of history, which reminded people of the 1960s and even the 1960s. Earlier in Japan, many houses were still low-rise masonry structures.

There are also wooden Japanese-style houses on both sides of the street. The blue batik banners are hung at the entrance of every business. The carp streamers hanging on the rusty street lamps are actually still very new. They are probably replaced often and are flying in the wind. Flying and wagging their tails in the same direction.

There is a cafe at the end of the town, where you can see the mine called "Daimaru Mountain" and the shrine at the foot of the mine. The cafe is close to a small wooden house with a telescope and a small bench. According to the proprietress, Said that people often use that telescope here to look at the sea.

It can be imagined that in another world, Chu Zihang and Caesar were eating sea bream rice while squeezing in front of the small window of this cabin to peek at Lu Mingfei and Eriki.

Thinking of this scene, Lu Mingfei felt like laughing and crying inexplicably.

When they walked into the cafe, there were actually many young people working on laptops. They seemed to be strangers to each other. Everyone felt distant. On the contrary, Lu Mingfei and Nono were cuddling against the sea breeze. Some of the couples who walked in were very unsociable.

The theme B\u0026B on the mountain is also the property of the proprietress of the cafe. After hearing Lu Mingfei say that he wanted to rent it for one night, he happily decided to take them up the mountain.

The road up the mountain is right next to the shrine, but no one suggested walking up it. The proprietress drove the mountain tram up the mountain.

Thick trees grow on both sides of the tram track, ranging from the common pine beech, walnut tree, and three-flowered maple to the rare red bark spruce, Korean cliff pine, and winter cherry. There are also honeysuckle and honeysuckle growing in the gaps between the trees. Mountain rose is a wild flower.

The trees loom like thick clouds over the tracks, and they seem to walk through a tunnel of ever-changing colors, a tunnel made purely of leaves and flowers.

Nuonuo was finally stunned. She hugged Lu Mingfei's arm tightly, and the gorgeous flowers in her eyes seemed to fly by like time.

"It's beautiful." Nono said.

"Senior sister." Lu Mingfei said.

"Um?"

"Do you think your father will look down on a poor boy like me?" President Lu's thinking was like a frog jumping on a lotus leaf. (End of chapter)
