From around 10pm on December 31st, when he returned to his Akasaka apartment, he felt a headache, body aches and discomfort.

Even turning on the TV to watch NHK's Red and White Song Concert, waiting for Keiko's performance, and eating sukiyaki pot was tasteless.

At first, he thought he was tired or freezing. He would just drink a glass of wine brought from home, take a hot bath and sleep.

But things went counterproductive, maybe it was just this cup of Moutai that got ruined.

On the first day of the New Year in 1986, what a wonderful day, at two o'clock in the morning, he actually developed a high fever.

After taking the antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs he brought from China, he slept until noon but did not feel better.

I also had a cough and felt so bad that I couldn't even leave for Kyoto.

So after thinking about it, he had no choice but to make a long-distance call to Qu Xiao.

He briefly explained the unexpected situation he encountered here.

He said, "Looking at the moment, I really can't go out, so I have to break the appointment. It's better for you to return to China alone and refund my ticket. If anything happens, we'll talk about it later."

Qu Xiao was naturally very worried after hearing this, and immediately said that he would not go back, and would immediately buy a train ticket to transfer to Tokyo so that he could take care of Ning Weimin.

Ning Weimin was moved when he heard this, but he was very embarrassed.

He just told Qu Xiao to return to China with peace of mind.

Actually, I'm fine. I've already taken medicine and I'll probably be fine after just two days of sleep.

However, Qu Xiao still insisted on coming and argued for a few words. Ning Weimin stopped being pretentious because he was really tired.

He said, "You can come if you want. But I don't have anything here except medicine. Because I plan to go back, I have disposed of everything in the refrigerator and it is empty. Thank you for your hard work and buy some food."

But as a result, Ning Weimin had only slept peacefully for two hours when he was woken up by a phone call again.

After answering the phone, he realized that something was unfortunate. Qu Xiao's side had also encountered something unexpected.

Just now, this girl made a long-distance call to her family in Jingcheng to tell her that her schedule had changed.

Unexpectedly, her father became anxious upon hearing this.

Qu Xiao was told on the phone that her mother was hospitalized due to illness in the first few days.

She said it was because her family knew she would return to China tomorrow and didn't want her to get into trouble at work, so they kept it secret.

Therefore, Qu Xiao can only take care of his family first. He will definitely not be able to come to Tokyo. He will have to return to China as scheduled tomorrow.

This is human nature, and Ning Weimin can certainly understand it.

Not only did he understand, he was also easy to persuade.

Let Xiaoqu never be in a hurry and pay attention to safety on the road.

After returning home, take care of your mother with peace of mind, don't worry about him, let alone worry about work.

He also said that if you need any help or have any unresolved problems, such as asking for leave from the team leader, you can call him at any time.

Just like this, I spent this New Year’s Day daytime in Tokyo, Japan.

Ning Weimin was curled up alone in the bed, sleeping alone.

But sleeping alone is not enough. Nutrition is needed to recover from illness, but eating has become a problem.

Don’t forget, the Japanese New Year is equivalent to the Chinese Spring Festival.

Especially on the afternoon of January 1st, the streets were deserted, with few cars and few people.

Most stores have posted holiday notices.

Ning Weimin couldn't even get a bowl of hot noodle soup, and even the convenience store near his apartment where he usually bought groceries was closed.

Being weak, he staggered nearly a kilometer in the wind, snow, and cold sweat.

Finally, I found an open convenience store and bought a large bag of bread, milk, sandwiches and instant noodles.

Think about it, will this shopping trip be beneficial to the patient?

Besides, it is not suitable to just eat these things to recover from illness.

This is pure make do, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's a suffering.

So after I returned, I was hit by a desolation I had never experienced before.

Ning Weimin also seemed to feel that his illness was getting worse, his bones were aching more, and he was getting colder.

I can't help but feel vaguely worried that I might think that if I catch a cold again during this trip, my cold will directly turn into pneumonia.

But as the old saying goes, if there is no light in the east, there will be light in the west.

When God closes the door and arrests you, he often leaves a window secretly for you to jump out of and escape.

Just when Ning Weimin was holding on to his energy, biting dry bread and cooking instant noodles.

His pager suddenly vibrated.

At this time, he picked it up and took a look, and discovered that there had been eight or nine paging calls from nine o'clock in the morning to now.

And they were all called from the same number.

Only then did he remember that he had promised Matsumoto Keiko that he would have a phone call on New Year's Day.

Sure enough, his hunch was accurate. When he called him, it was indeed Keiko Matsumoto who was sending him New Year greetings.

However, after almost a day without finding his person or receiving any information, Matsumoto Keiko was already very anxious.

But it was better not to speak. When Ning Weimin spoke, his voice was sick and sick, and Matsumoto Keiko immediately realized that something was wrong with him.

So even if Ning Weimin refuses, it doesn't matter how he says it.

Matsumoto Keiko also insisted on asking him for his detailed address and said she would come over to see him right away.

In this way, Ning Weimin, a little grass from China, finally had someone to take care of him.

Not only did this help him survive a desperate situation, it also undoubtedly made him owe Matsumoto Keiko a huge favor.

Life is actually like this.

Often at certain particularly important times, special people will appear around us and special things will happen.

If this happens, the object that appears has changed.
