Thick reading glasses, a head full of gray hair.
Cheap suits and a spine crushed by the burden of life.
There is no doubt that this is a failed man.
Successful men are successful in their own way, while failed men often fail in all aspects.
The next day.
Taking the subway to the company's Inuyashiki, my old arms and legs were almost broken by the crowd before I had time to rest.
He was called over by the leader who was at least twenty years younger than him.
"How many times have you made the wrong quote?"
Facing his young boss, Inuyashiki didn't defend himself, but just kept apologizing.
"Sorry, I'm really sorry."
"I'm not asking you to say this, I'm asking you, how many times has this happened!"
"I'm so sorry."
"Don't you understand? When people get old, they go home and lie down. Don't hold everyone back here. Do you understand?!
Now tell me, how many times has this happened! "
Facing the aggressiveness of my boss, I felt the strange looks from the people around me.
Inuyashiki, whose dignity had already been trampled into the mud and turned into powder, could only say: "This is the fourth time."
The boss sighed helplessly: "I'll give you one last chance." Then he picked up a bottle of drink on the table and said: "Here, this kind of sports drink is piled up in the warehouse, Inuyashiki, come up with something! "
Inuyashiki looked at the drink. Maybe it was because of the taste, or maybe it was because of something else. Inuyashiki didn't quite understand. In short, the new product launched by this company had failed, and its sales were extremely poor.
No one wants to deal with this kind of mess.
Unexpectedly, he pushed it to himself.
I couldn't help but feel a headache.
Even sales elites cannot complete such a difficult task.
"Hey! Inuyashiki, I'm talking to you. What were you doing just now? Were you distracted?"
"Ah, sorry, so sorry!"
The boss waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, remember this is your last chance."
With that said, he turned around and left calmly.
Inuyashiki, who had been thinking hard all day and had no clue, could only drag his exhausted body home.
On the only way not far from home, Inuyashiki heard a noise in front of him.
He adjusted his reading glasses and took a closer look. It turned out to be a group of gangsters beating another young man.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. But I really have no money."
"Stop playing tricks, you bastard, and hand over all the money quickly!"
"Where is it hidden? If you hand it over yourself, you will suffer less!"
Inuyashiki immediately realized what was happening.
The gangsters are extorting money.
He also couldn't stand this kind of thing, but his body didn't allow it, so he could only pretend not to see it and pass by.
But the other party blocked his only way home, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
Cringing, Inuyashiki finally decided to take a long detour before going home.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw his daughter Mari standing not far away.
There was obvious disgust and contempt in those eyes.
Inuyashiki quickly explained: "Momari, it's not what you think. I'm about to call the police."
Unexpectedly, he received cold words from his daughter: "You don't have to force me, and I don't expect you to be such a great dad."
"Mari."
His daughter's words were like a sharp knife, piercing into his heart.
Even he, who was almost numb under the weight of life, felt a deep sting.
When she returned home, Mari greeted her mother and brother as if nothing had happened, eating and watching TV together, chatting happily.
But I never looked at him, as if he didn't exist in this family and was just an empty person.
"But it's obvious that I am shouldering the burden of this family."
Inuyashiki felt a little out of breath.
He came to the small courtyard alone and sat on the ground.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky.
At this moment, there was a sound from the backyard door not far away.
An Akita dog pushes open the ajar fence gate.
One person and one dog just looked at each other.
An inexplicable feeling of intimacy arose spontaneously.
The Akita dog was not afraid of strangers, but instead came into the yard and ran to Inuyashiki's feet.
Rubbing his trousers gently.
"What's wrong with you? Are you lost?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
Then I found a note pinned to the Akita dog's leash.
——'It's a beggar, please kind-hearted people who picked it up can adopt it. ’
An inexplicable emotion surged into my heart.
"So you were abandoned too?"
Looking at Hanako, Inuyashiki seemed to see himself.
A poor humble dog!
So in the next second, he made a decision.
"Don't worry, I will adopt you!"
At this time, the wife heard the movement in the yard and came over.
He frowned slightly and looked down at the man and the dog.
"What's wrong with this dog?"
Inuyashiki said directly with the excitement just now: "It is called Hanako, and it will become our home from today on."
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted.
"Throw it away."
His tone was irresistibly cold.
It's like a basin of cold water, pouring the dog house compress from head to toe.
All of a sudden his newly aroused impulse was extinguished.
Ignoring Inuyashiki who was frozen in place, his wife handed him the file bag.
"Your physical examination report is here, take a look at it yourself."
After receiving the report mechanically, his wife turned around and left, leaving him no room for negotiation throughout the process.
After opening the file, the physical examination report showed that his health was not good, and he was invited to the hospital for more detailed examination.
Obviously, neither the children nor the wife have read this report.
Otherwise, they should be more or less concerned.
"Haha" Inuyashiki laughed at himself, or even if they saw it, they were just worried that he was not in good health and would not be able to continue to make money to pay off the mortgage.
The next day.
Yamatodai Chuo General Hospital.
"Stomach. Is it cancer?"
The doctor in a white coat looked at the CT photos on the computer: "It is now stage 4A and has spread to the whole body."
"Can it still be cured?"
The doctor didn't answer, but just smiled and said, "Bring your family with you next week."
After leaving the consulting room in a daze, Inuyashiki suddenly realized that he had forgotten his cell phone on the table.
He quickly turned around and re-entered the consulting room to get it.
But I only heard the doctor saying to the nurse: "This disease progresses very quickly. I estimate that it will only last three months at most. When his family comes next week, let them know."
boom!
It was like a bomb detonated in Inuyashiki's mind.
Too many blows and frustrations made him feel numb, and his body was no longer his own, but just a machine that kept running according to a prescribed trajectory.
But until he learned that this body was really reaching its limit and he was really going to die.
Countless emotions and thoughts rushed into my mind.
"Am I going to die now?"
"Who will take care of my wife, who will take care of Mari and Takeshi?"
"What about the mortgage loan for the house I just changed?"
"Are they going to be sad for me?"
"I can't just leave them. Without me, their lives will be more difficult."
"Maybe it's a good thing not to need treatment. My family can't afford that much money anymore."
All kinds of messy thoughts keep popping up.
Completely occupying his mind.
So much so that Inuyashiki didn't even know how he left the hospital.
In a deserted park.
Inuyashiki was sitting alone on the swing. The iron chain was covered with rust due to disrepair, and the holes in the links were also cracked.
As it shook slightly, it made a "squeaky" sound.
No one knows when this chain will break, but it is foreseeable that its life is coming to an end.
Just like your own.
Taking out his mobile phone, Inuyashiki opened the phone book and looked at the rows of names on it in a daze.
He didn't know what to do at this moment. He was completely at a loss. His instinct drove him to find solace and warmth.
But he had no one to talk to or seek comfort from, no friends or relatives. After all, he only had his wife and children.
With a feeling of apprehension, Inuyashiki picked up his phone.
I called my wife first.
However, my wife is working in the supermarket at the moment.
The head waiter was watching not far away, and there were customers around.
After checking that the caller ID was her husband, she finally hung up the phone under the gaze of the foreman.
In the park, looking at the phone that was hung up, Inuyashiki's heart sank.
Then, he called his son Takeshi's cell phone.
But he didn't know that Takeshi was being bullied at school at this moment.
"Hurry up and take out all the money!"
Several delinquents snatched away his schoolbag, rummaging through it but only found five hundred yen.
"What's going on? It's really only five hundred yen!"
"Give you a little more time, prepare 10,000 yen for me before the end of the month, otherwise I will make you look good! Do you understand?!"
After the bad guys left, Takeshi took out his cell phone and saw the missed call showing his father.
Wei Wei hesitated for two seconds, but finally didn't call back.
No idea.
In the park, Inuyashiki listened to the blind voice coming from his mobile phone.
My son’s phone number didn’t get through either.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally plucked up the courage to call his daughter Mari's cell phone.
In the school classroom, several girls were chatting.
"I heard that Oda's father is a great cartoonist!"
"Really? I'm so envious."
"Yeah, I think it's really cool to be able to draw comics."
"Eh? Mari, Oda seems to be near your home, right?"
Mari nodded silently, and at this moment, the phone in her pocket rang.
I took it out and looked at it. The caller ID was Dad.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of his cowardly, old, useless, devoid of masculine father.
Then I thought about Oda's father, whom the classmates were talking about, and I couldn't help but feel bored.
He pressed the hang up button.
"Eh? Mari, won't you answer the phone?"
"My dad called, it's probably nothing."
Everyone has hung up
Inuyashiki put down the phone in his hand silently.
Although I knew this might be the outcome, I still felt a sense of sadness.
I stayed in the park until evening, then slowly walked home in the setting sun.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mari in the living room, with her classmates beside her.
"that."
Mari was the first to interrupt: "We're going upstairs first."
As if deliberately avoiding him, he dragged his classmate upstairs and returned to his room.
You can vaguely hear your classmates asking in a low voice: "Mari, is that your grandfather?"
Mari, on the other hand, did not refute.
After his wife returned home, Inuyashiki thought about telling her what happened to her face.
But she scolded her first: "I asked you to get rid of that dog, why didn't you listen? Look, it pooped at home!"
While I was cleaning, more complaints kept popping up.
It was difficult for Inuyashiki to interrupt.
After meal.
Inuyashiki could only hold Hanako and left home.
"I'm sorry, Hanako, am I really useless?"
"Woof!"
Inuyashiki smiled bitterly and knelt down.
Caressing Hanako: "Do you think if I really tell them, they will shed tears for me?"
"Woof!"
Inuyashiki seemed to understand what it said, and rubbed its head with infinite nostalgia.
"Thanks."
Fold the piece of paper again and tie it to Hanako's collar.
Inuyashiki turned around and left.
But Hanako was unwilling to leave him and kept following him.
"Stop following me, let's go, go quickly!"
Inuyashiki wanted to run away, and Hanako also started running.
After running all the way to the park, Inuyashiki looked behind him, and finally there was no trace of Hanako.
Then he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But when he turned his head, he found Hanako squatting in front of him with his free time, waiting for him with his tongue hanging out.
Inuyashiki couldn't bear it any longer, so he quickly stepped forward and hugged Hanako, crying uncontrollably.
While he was crying, he suddenly saw a person walking past him.
Looking up, it was a handsome man wearing a long black trench coat.
Even if his strong body is hidden under his clothes, it still gives people a sense of intimidation.
He has a handsome and strong face, two eyebrows like sword blades, and bright eyes like stars.
All of a sudden, Inuyashiki even forgot about the sadness just now and was attracted by him.
Immediately afterwards, he found a young man standing on the other side.
Judging from her clothes and appearance, she seems to be a high school student just like her daughter.
Inuyashiki followed his line of sight and the direction in which the heroic man walked.
I saw that there seemed to be a lot of people in the dark part of the woods.
The atmosphere seems to be starting to become a little weird for some reason.
Inuyashiki didn't know what happened and could only hold Hanako tightly.
Time goes back to five minutes ago.
Bai Xing was in his villa, just about to start today's silver party. It was time to relax.
Suddenly I felt a small pull from the earth's magnetic field.
Something is coming!
From outside the sky!
Bai Xing's eyes lit up, it seemed like this was not an ordinary world.
With curiosity in mind, Bai Xing took one step forward and appeared at the predicted landing place.
Whatever it was that came from the universe, Shirahoshi wanted to take a good look at it.
Maybe we can also use this to determine the background of this world.
However, before things in the universe could wait, Bai Xing took the lead and saw a very 'familiar' person.
"Nagai?!"
Shirahoshi's voice caught the attention of the young man sitting on the park bench.
He looked up at Shirahoshi.
Then he said expressionlessly: "You have the wrong person."
The next moment, Shirahoshi read his memory and learned his identity.
Lion God Hao, from a divorced family, currently lives with his mother and is a high school student.
"Sorry, you look a bit like an old friend of mine."
Sure enough, it's not Kei Nagai.
But why do they look so similar?
etc!
Bai Xing's mind moved, and suddenly he felt that the name Lion God Hao sounded so familiar. (End of this chapter)
