Chapter 504 The Man Who Abandoned Everything and Came to Hokkaido to Find a Wife

"Looking for a wife?"

"It's not really a wife, after all, she's not married yet, but she has already promised me."

Unexpectedly, the other party is actually squatting here because of a broken relationship.

Kaoru Uesugi looked at him again, and asked him suspiciously: "You college student, you spent all your savings and came to Hokkaido from China, and you only prepared enough for a week's meals, and traveled several city streets just to find girlfriend?"

"It's ridiculous."

Wen Yinlin laughed self-deprecatingly. There was still snow on his down jacket, and this lament-like tone made his current situation look quite miserable.

".In China, there is a kind of people on the Internet called 'Licking Dogs'. At the beginning, I often watched the videos of these people for fun, but when this kind of thing really happened to me, I realized that everyone just didn't It’s all about meeting someone you like. If it’s not true love, who would want to come all the way to be a ‘licking dog’?”

Uesugi Kai could understand this word, but what he said was more like a joke.

"Ah, sorry, did I forget to introduce myself? My name is Wen Yinlin, Wen of Wenhua, Yinlin of Ginkgo Forest."

"Uesugi Kai, Uesugi Kenshin, the word Kai is relatively rare, and its original meaning is an oar for rowing."

"棹? An outstanding Zhuo next to the wooden characters?"

"The traditional characters of that."

"Zhai? Add a Zhai to the wooden character? Then this is really rare, but there is a line in the Songs of Chu."

Uesugi Kai didn't expect that the other party knew his "Oi" character, obviously he was a very educated person.

After Wen Yinlin heard his name, he turned around, groped around for a while, and finally found a consumable with social attributes. He took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, opened the lid and asked, "Brother Uesugi Smoke one?"

"No, I don't need this," Uesugi Kai waved his hand and refused, "I don't smoke."

"This, this way." Maybe because he thought that he had nothing to entertain him, and the things in his hands were trembling, Wen Yinlin's expression seemed a little embarrassed, and even his movements became more restrained.

It was still snowing in the sky at this moment, and it was already after seven o'clock in the evening.

At night, the weather gets even colder.

"Forget it, I'll take you to eat a bowl of ramen." Kai Uesugi said after struggling for a while.

"Ah? I'm so sorry. I have nothing to give you."

"You don't need to give me anything. A bowl of ramen is only 1000 yen at most. To me, it's a small amount of money." Uesugi tried his best to make himself look like a rich man, so as to reduce the other party's sense of burden.

"Thank you then."

Accepting other people's kindness for no reason made Wen Yinlin blush a little, but he knew that now was not the time to care about this little face. He had been hungry here for two days, and the B&B he was staying in had also expired.

Uesugi Kai took Wen Yinlin to the private ramen restaurant that he had passed by before.

The ramen restaurant has bar-style seats, and the space is very Japanese-style, but it is not too crowded. Instead, the lighting and the aroma of the ramen complement each other, making the place look very warm.

There was an old lady busy in the store, and a young clerk, who should be the grandson of the old lady to help her.

Uesugi Kai helped Wen Yinlin order a tonkotsu ramen, while he sat next to him.

"Brother Uesugi, don't you want to eat?"

"Not now."

Wen Yinlin is actually a very shy person. Many times, he likes to keep his words to himself, but he left his hometown for thousands of miles and came to this unfamiliar Hokkaido. The savings are gone, and even the phone bill is gone.

He doesn't understand Japanese yet, and everything here is at a loss.

Now when he meets a person who can speak Chinese and invites him to eat ramen, he expresses all the bitterness in his heart like a chatterbox that has been held back for a long time:

"I first met her in a bar."

"Your wife?" Uesugi Kai watched him gobble up the noodles.

"Let's call it girlfriend. She just agreed to my marriage proposal, not really a wife. To be honest, I don't think I'm good enough for her."

Wen Yinlin's glasses were covered with a thick layer of white mist by the heat from the ramen, which made him look like a down-and-out scholar.

"Sometimes I feel like a stupid donkey. I used to believe in those evil people on the Internet, who said that women are beasts, and the bride price costs hundreds of thousands. After marriage, they only eat, have princess disease, and do a little housework. No. But the reality is, the guys who say these irresponsible things actually have happy family lives as hell.

"My point of view was also changed after meeting her.

"She is a singer, a young singer, who sings in a bar, and her daily salary is only a hundred yuan. When I first met her, she was playing her own guitar in that dark corner, and the messy neon lights played The scene on her face made me remember her at a glance. Guess how I talked to her for the first time?"

Uesugi thought for a while: "She played your favorite song? Or did you order her favorite song?"

"No," Wen Yinlin took a mouthful of noodles and said with a smile, "I lost a game with my classmate and was forced to take a big risk. I went up to talk to her."

"."

Sure enough, everyone's first encounter is wonderful and diverse.

Wen Yinlin recalled in a nostalgic tone: "She called Zhai Weiling. The goal of the adventure is to get a girl's WeChat. In the bar, it is most appropriate to go to the dance floor to ask for WeChat, because most girls will give it. But I'm not very confident, and I'm too embarrassed to ask those girls who seem to be very open, so I found her who is not very conspicuous.

"The process is very simple. As soon as I asked for it, she gave it. The beginning of the two of us was so simple."

After Wen Yinlin finished eating the ramen, he picked up the fragrant tonkotsu soup and drank it.

After a while, he put down the bowl, and said to Uesugi Kai:

"We have known each other for three years. From the beginning, we often went to the bar with friends to meet and greet each other, and then we became acquainted and got to know each other. We started chatting together and talking about life. From her, I learned about the world I used to be. I am As a college student aiming for a Ph.D., learning is everything to me, and she is a singer-in-residence whose aim is to survive, and life is everything to her.

"Unexpectedly, we all had a common dream: to open a coffee shop."

Kaoru Uesugi: "."

"Before I met her, I felt like a machine that could only learn, but it was because of her by my side, and the way she smiled and played the guitar to me, that I felt that the world seemed to be infected. Brother Uesugi, I wonder if you can understand that feeling?"

His expression was very complicated, and although his tone was flat, his words were full of memories called missing.

Kai Uesugi can understand this feeling, Hanamaru Hanabi running in front of him with a smile, the warm and elegant white dress in the sun, looking back at him with a sweet smile, can also give him the same feeling.

"We planned everything together, the next five years, ten years, 30 years, even our whole life! But just when we were ready to start the next phase and I was about to propose to her, she disappeared. "

As if recalling something that he didn't want to recall, Wen Yinlin grabbed his hair with both hands.

"Disappeared?" Uesugi Kai asked in astonishment, "Aren't there any signs?"

"It's not without warning that the small coffee shop we opened together encountered a fire. A sudden fire broke out. Many things disappeared at that time, and half of her eyes were smoked and blinded. At that time, I was still in the hospital. Taking part in the first postgraduate examination of political theory, when I heard the news and rushed over, she was already lying in the hospital, her eyes were wrapped in gauze, and she was unconscious.

"I, I... I can't imagine what kind of situation she faced at that time alone. She must be very helpless and desperate to catch fire. She must hope that someone around her will help her, and she must hope that someone will help her make herself But what about me? What was I doing at the time? I was taking an exam and my phone was turned off. I had no idea how desperate she was at the time, and she was even complacent because of her good exam status.

"Because of this incident, I didn't take the subjects after the postgraduate examination this year. I planned to give up my studies first and take good care of her. But just when I was ready to accept everything, I went to pick her up and leave the hospital, and I was going to propose to her The day before, she suddenly disappeared!"

At the end of Wen Yinlin's speech, he stared at the empty soup bowl in front of him for a long time, and then sighed softly.

"I have never disliked her, and I am willing to accept her future appearance. If I can tell her earlier and let her understand this earlier, maybe I won't be in this situation."

Kaoru Uesugi finished listening to this short story.

Except for the uncle eating ramen next door who was drinking and discussing, the atmosphere fell into silence.

He could understand Wen Yinlin's mood, every sentence and every word in his mouth was the unspeakable pain in his heart.

Kai Uesugi can now understand why this person is willing to abandon everything, even if he is penniless, he is willing to come to other countries to find someone.

It's just that one word.

Helping him pay for the tonkotsu ramen, Kai Uesugi looked at him, and thought of the first time he saw him just now: a young man who looked particularly lonely, curled up on a snowy street bench in the dark He hugged his legs, buried his head, and held a mobile phone with no power in his hand. The snow in a foreign country soaked his whole body.

Maybe it was because he was moved by his sincerity, or maybe it was because his dream was to open a coffee shop.

Uesugi Kai was a little worried about this guy who came to Hokkaido without knowing anything.

Wen Yinlin smiled sarcastically, and turned his head to look at Shang Shanzhao: "I often think, if only I were more handsome."

"Why do you think so?"

"Because she often told me that she likes handsome boys. In the few months after she left, I kept thinking, if I was more handsome, would she be more reluctant to leave me?"

Uesugi Kai interrupted him: "She shouldn't mean that, she should just be joking with you or something."

"Probably." Wen Yinlin lowered his head again, with a look of despair on his face and eyes.

This blow is really big.

Thinking about it in another way, if Hanamaru Hanabi was suddenly blinded by the fire in one eye, and then disappeared quietly by her side, Kai Uesugi couldn't imagine what kind of mood she would spend the next days.

With her low self-esteem, Kai Uesugi was really afraid that she would commit suicide.

She is such a girl who thinks of others, and she has not been treated kindly by God.

Kaoru Uesugi didn't know what words to use to describe that feeling.

Wenyinlin, who came to Hokkaido from China, probably felt the same way.

Uesugi Kai patted his lonely back, and said: "Whoever has a heart can always get married, as long as you keep chasing, there will be hope one day."

"Thank you, brother Uesugi, I also understand that I can't give up. If even I give up, who will care about her? Her family, parents, younger brothers and sisters have already died in that scene more than 10 years ago. All died in the earthquake. I can't give up, and I shouldn't give up."

"Mr. Zhao."

Outside the dark house, at the wooden door of the ramen restaurant, Hanamaru Hanabi stood in the light wearing a windbreaker. She was wearing the beret she usually wears. Her body was filled with the smell of snow, and her shoulders and hair were also stained. Little snowflakes.

Kaoru Uesugi looked back.

"How did you come out, Huahuo?"

Hanamaru Hanabi walked in and came to Uesugi Kai, first she saw the stranger sitting beside him, out of politeness, she nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

"Mr. Kai, this is?"

"Brother Uesugi" Wen Yinlin was stunned, not because of anything else, but because of the pretty face of the girl in front of her, which was so beautiful that it was almost impossible to pick a fault, and the pair of purple eyes that would make anyone feel smart.

"I just met Wen Yinlin, a Chinese, you can call him Wen Sang."

"Hello."

Black flower fire is a little different from flower fire.

She is much more generous when facing strangers.

Correspondingly, it will be much more indifferent and less friendly and cordial.

At least from Wen Yinlin's point of view, this is a beautiful girl from a foreign country with a rather cold temperament.

Hanamaru Hanabi looked at Uesugi Kai with a little complaint in his eyes: "Kai-kun, why didn't you answer your call?"

"what?"

Uesugi Kai took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket to look at it.

Hey guys, sixteen missed calls.

"Oki, sir." In a questioning tone.

"I accidentally pressed the mute button." Kai Uesugi turned the phone screen to her and said with a smile.

Hanamaru Hanabi turned her face dissatisfied, and then said to him: "Mom and Aiyi are already in the restaurant, if Kai-kun is okay, come over for dinner quickly!"

After finishing speaking angrily, the girl's beautiful figure disappeared at the door.

Kaoru Uesugi could sense her anger, that's right, there's no girlfriend, my wife wouldn't be angry after making sixteen phone calls, not to mention the black Hanabi, even the little Hanabi would be angry.

Wen Yinlin finally had a chance to speak, and he asked, "Brother Uesugi, was that just now?"

"My wife."

Wen Yinlin was even more surprised. He didn't expect that the first time he saw such a young and beautiful woman, she was already married: "Are you married?"

"Ah."

But seeing Uesugi Kai's handsome face, and the silver watches and clothes that look expensive on his body, Wen Yinlin no longer has that huge sense of difference. Instead, because of the appearance of a beautiful girl, although I don't understand, but At first glance, he seemed to care about him, and recalled the girlfriend who was about to marry him.

Once, I was so happy. Someone cared, and someone asked him to eat at night.

He looked at the vast snowy night outside the door that was dark but dotted with lights, and felt even more melancholy.

Ah Ling, where are you?
