Chapter 62 Now(1/2)
On the New Year's Eve of the New Year, Zhou Luoyang decided to go to Shinsaibashi in Osaka to visit the Zhonggu store to see what second-hand goods can be brought back to the store in Wan City to sell. In the 1980s, the signing of the square agreement triggered the Great Depression, many Japanese people had to sell some of their family-owned collections in order to live, and bought second-hand stores, called Zhonggu Store.
Zhonggu stores are the most common in Shinsaibashi area. Of course, most of the goods in the store are luxury bags, watches, etc.
"You should learn from others," Du Jing glanced at the magnificent medieval shop. Visitors came in and out, high-end and luxurious, and seemed to be in two planes with Chang'an watches. "This decoration makes people feel very shopping at first glance."
Le Yao said: "Yes, I just want to buy them all."
"You should learn from others," Zhou Luoyang retorted, "Does the boss know how much the shop here cost?"
"I said decoration." Du Jing said.
"Go and buy us drinks," Zhou Luoyang said. "Le Yao is thirsty, and he wants to drink matcha milk coffee."
Du Jing said: "He is obviously not thirsty."
"I'm thirsty." Le Yao smiled.
So Du Jing went to queue up to buy drinks, and Zhou Luoyang pushed his wheelchair and parked outside a medieval shop, looking at the window.
"Do you want to help him?" Le Yao said, "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Luoyang said: "Why are you so smart? Do you want to buy something?"
"I don't need it." Le Yao replied.
Zhou Luoyang looked over one by one, and finally saw a piece of ancient jade from a Japanese collector in a showcase window. According to the style, it was obviously from China.
"I want to buy something for you two," said Zhou Luoyang.
"I really don't want it," said Le Yao, "you have given me an Atlas watch, and I can't wear it even if I have too many."
"Do you think this is suitable for Du Jing?" Zhou Luoyang liked that piece of jade very much. He had liked things with Chinese flavor since he was a child - a gentleman would not leave the jade without reason. Du Jing had already taken the Eye of the Monkey King. Although he was carrying it with him when he went out, he no longer wore his wrists. Zhou Luoyang felt it was necessary to give him some other accessories.
He likes that when a boy unbuttons his shirt collar and exposes his chest, a tied red rope faintly appears on his neck. Looking down along the red rope, it is a gentle and smooth jade pendant. In Chinese customs, jade has the power to protect.
"It's enough if you think it's suitable." Le Yao said.
The habit Zhou Luoyang developed since childhood determined that even if his financial situation was a bit tight, he would ask about the price when he saw something that he was moved, and Du Jing even spent money randomly.
He pushed Le Yao into the store. When he came out half an hour later, he was facing Du Jing's anger.
"Where have you been?!" Du Jing said angrily, "I turned around in the blink of an eye and ran so far?! I didn't answer the phone number!"
"Aren't I here?" Zhou Luoyang said with a smile and cry, "What are you doing so fiercely?"
Le Yao immediately said: "I want to go into the store and take a look..."
Du Jing ignored Le Yao and said to Zhou Luoyang: "Do you know I've walked three times on this street!"
Zhou Luoyang realized that Du Jing might get sick and immediately apologized: "I was wrong. I forgot the time when I was shopping in the store."
Fortunately, Du Jing was just angry normally and did not turn into mania. He just looked around uneasy and said irritably: "Forget it."
"I'm sorry, sorry," Zhou Luoyang said, "Don't be angry, where is milk tea?"
"Take it." Du Jing said coldly, wanting to blame Zhou Luoyang for a few more words, but Zhou Luoyang stood a little innocently and looked at him.
Du Jing then returned to the milk tea shop and went to get the drinks he had sent.
"It's getting late, prepare to go for the New Year." Du Jing got into the car and said, "What did you buy?"
Zhou Luoyang sorted out a large bag and said, "I bought you two clothes when I went back to sell the things I bought when I bought you."
Du Jing put his hand into his left trouser pocket, and Zhou Luoyang said unexpectedly: "You bought something too? Why didn't I see it?"
"Nothing." Du Jing said unnaturally.
They entered Universal Studios for the second time in the evening to participate in the all-night New Year's Eve event.
"Hey," Zhou Luoyang said, "Are you still angry? I was just lost for a while."
"No." Du Jing looked a little abnormal and said, "I don't want to talk."
Zhou Luoyang asked: "Is it going to change the stage?"
Du Jing did not get sick almost the whole December, but according to Zhou Luoyang's understanding of him, after Du Jing's depression ended, he would be in a normal state for a long time until a manic attack suddenly occurs after a period of time, and then quickly turned to depression, manic again, depression again, and two rounds passed, and then entered a stable period.
"I don't know," Du Jing said, "maybe. If I act abnormally later, don't pay attention to me and don't let me ruin your New Year."
Zhou Luoyang wanted to speak but stopped. The team was very long and tired. It seemed that going out for the New Year was not a good idea.
Le Yao looked at Du Jing and said, "Did you not take medicine today?"
"I've eaten," Du Jing said to Leyao, "I've eaten when I go out."
"It may snow at night," Zhou Luoyang said, "I remember you hardly have much attack in winter."
Du Jing said: "I like winter, but I am afraid of spring. When spring comes, I will become abnormal and like a lunatic. You can do whatever you want and just act as if I don't exist."
They entered Universal Studios, and Du Jing said, "I won't play anymore. I'll take the bottom line. You can play with Leyao. Come over later and pay attention to your phone."
Zhou Luoyang did not force Du Jing to push Le Yao to queue up for the project. He was walking out all day today, and Le Yao was tired and said, "I don't think we should have left him."
"I think too." Zhou Luoyang suggested, "Let's go find him."
As the sky became dark, the bright lights were lit up in Universal Studios. Du Jing sat in the New Year's Eve position, wearing a black windbreaker, staring silently, looking into the distance. When the two brothers came back, Du Jing glanced at him and said nothing.
As the sky got darker and darker, the three of them watched the stage of the light show together, and tourists came in one after another.
"Is it cold?" Du Jing suddenly said, "Where is Huai Lu?"
"I'll give it to Leyao." Zhou Luoyang asked Leyao, "Are you cold?"
"Not at all." Le Yao said.
It's still warm today, and a snow has not fallen for a long time.
Le Yao lowered his head, turned on the live broadcast of the Hongbai concert tonight on his mobile phone, and put on his headphones.
Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing each took a very small angle.
"Du Jing," Zhou Luoyang suddenly said, "What are you thinking?"
Du Jing said: "Think about the past."
It was completely dark, and Du Jing was holding something in his hand and was playing around with it.
Zhou Luoyang asked: "What are you holding?"
"For you," Du Jing said, "I bought it with extra money when buying milk tea."
Du Jing handed it to Zhou Luoyang and said, "New Year's gift."
It was a very small, heart-shaped keychain, with liquid and shining paper in the keychain, and a little snowman standing on the snow and shaking around.
"I bought this for you at Xinzhai Bridge." Zhou Luoyang took out the ancient jade and handed it to Du Jing.
Du Jing took it and Zhou Luoyang said, "I forgot the time when I talk about the bargaining, I'm sorry."
Du Jing didn't say anything, holding the ancient jade, but he stopped talking.
"No," Du Jing suddenly became a little restrained and said, "I'm too anxious."
"Du Jing." Zhou Luoyang's heart jumped wildly at this time.
Le Yao looked up from his phone, looked at the two of them, and in the silence, he lowered his head again.
Du Jing: "What?"
Zhou Luoyang was searching for words with difficulty. Before going out this time, he thought a lot about their relationship and their future. He wanted to find a suitable time to chat with Du Jing, but every time he spoke, he could not say it.
"Have you... thought about what happened to us in the future?" Zhou Luoyang said nervously.
"How long will it take?" Du Jing said, "One or ten years? Or is it further?"
Le Yao suddenly looked up and said, "I'll go there and sit for a while."
"No," said Zhou Luoyang, "you sit down, don't move your seat."
Le Yao was a little embarrassed, then nodded and lowered his head to look at his phone.
Du Jing looked at Zhou Luoyang from beginning to end, and his eyes did not leave for more than half a second.
Zhou Luoyang suddenly laughed and said, "Maybe... I'm thinking too much, I thought you understand."
"I understand." Du Jing suddenly said, moved down sideways, sat face to face with Zhou Luoyang, stretched out his hand, and his fingers seemed to want to touch Zhou Luoyang's face, but shrank back.
The moment Du Jing said "I understand", Zhou Luoyang's heart suddenly beat faster and he was almost unable to breathe.
"Is it...is it true?" Zhou Luoyang thought he had heard it wrong, "Is it what I think? Is it?"
"Yes," Du Jing finally admitted, saying, "I felt it a long time ago."
Zhou Luoyang's eyes suddenly turned red, and he couldn't believe it.
"You have asked me more than once," Du Jing said, "What is my life I want the most, but I dare not tell you because... because..."
Zhou Luoyang said: "Why? I don't understand."
Du Jing said: "Because I am sick, my illness cannot be cured."
"It doesn't matter," Zhou Luoyang said seriously, "It doesn't matter."
"It doesn't matter?" Du Jing said.
