Chapter 5 005. Wishes
After Jiang Wenkan, the only one who could bring humanity and laughter, left, the entire office once again fell into shadows and clammy silence.
Li Ming returned to his seat and lowered his head silently, his somewhat messy bangs falling naturally.
Lighted the last cigarette, inhaled the burning tobacco gas and exhaled it again, but his eyes involuntarily fell on a certain corner in the office.
For a long time, when the cigarette was about to burn out, Li Ming finally recovered. He looked at the scattered cigarette butts in the ashtray and grinned bitterly.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s been asked to do more and more things, but lately he’s always been distracted during his relaxing smoking time, so most of the ashtrays are what he left behind after letting them burn naturally.
"What a waste."
Li Ming shook his head, took out the electronic watch he carried with him and glanced at the time.
"Ah, it's almost twelve o'clock." He couldn't help sighing at the fleeting time, and at the same time looked at the medical record card that he had kept in the drawer on the left, "Let's go have lunch first. , let’s go to the hospital to have a look.”
With this decision, Li Ming put the medical record card in the coat pocket on the hanger by the door, put it on his body, and then turned his attention to the person leaning against the door. A long-handled black umbrella on the side.
Open the black umbrella. Although the black cloth's shading effect is not very good under such strong sunlight, it also weakens most of the warmth and dazzlingness.
Although Li Ming's office is located in the Tokyo metropolitan area, it is not that luxurious. For example, it is a suburb within the second ring of the domestic capital city.
Before leaving, noisy and noisy sounds continued to reach Li Ming's ears.
Hearing the sound of closing the door near the office, the two guys from the Metropolitan Police looked here instinctively. The police officer who called himself Saito just nodded to him, but what really made Li Ming The person with a puzzled expression was——
Shibasaki's expression. Although he also saw himself and followed Saito in bowing to him, his face was full of confusion and strangeness.
"Does this guy not recognize me after such a short period of time?"
"Then what does the expression that guy made before mean?"
Li Ming He pursed his lips and stood there contemplating, but his thoughts were soon brought back by the strong hunger coming from his abdomen. He laughed to himself and walked faster towards the nearest ramen restaurant.
In every sense of the word, Li Ming is a regular visitor here. After gesturing and negotiating with the waiter who was very aware of the situation, he chose a seat in the corner to sit down.
Because it is a corner, almost everything in the ramen shop can be seen at a glance.
He looked up at the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall. It was going to be one o'clock in the afternoon in forty minutes. Li Dang poured himself a glass of water and waited for the ramen he ordered to be served. He looked at everyone in the store with a scrutinizing gaze. A guest's face.
Perhaps because it was almost the afternoon time limit, the customers in this store were scattered, and most of the customers did not notice him at all in the corner.
But when observing the whole picture, it was inevitable that Li Dang saw a man and woman near the corner of the cashier counter. They were kissing each other closely. It seemed that the two were in love. The room was filled with a strong scent of sweetness, which seemed a bit incompatible with the atmosphere of the store.
Li Dan curled his lips, finding it interesting and feeling sour in his heart.
This feeling is strange——
Although I am used to living alone, when I see someone else's passionate love, I feel like the other person is deliberately mocking me.
"I'm really crazy."
Li Ming cursed himself secretly, stretched out his hand and poured the cooled water into his stomach, hoping to use the cold liquid to dilute his heart. of dryness.
After taking a large glass of water into my stomach, I finally felt a lot more comfortable.
Just when Li Ming was about to put the glass in his hand on the table, a figure entered his field of vision as if he appeared suddenly.
It wasn't because of how familiar he was with this figure. What really caught his attention was the umbrella held by this figure.
As an abandoned apostle, Li Ming's attention is always attracted to this inexplicable point. When he sees an umbrella on a sunny day, he will think that the person is the same as himself.
"Miss Kurosawa, walk slowly."
The clerk holding ramen not far away smiled and said goodbye to the woman holding the umbrella, then turned her head and looked towards Li Come here quietly.
「Kurosawa?」
Li Ming silently wrote down the name, took the ramen brought by the clerk, and picked up his chopsticks to eat while the other party said goodbye politely.
Maybe I feel a little bored. Or maybe people are such creatures. The more they don’t want to see or even hate something, the more their attention will be directed to that place while waiting for a long time.
Li Ming once again set his sights on the two men and women who were passionately in love. At this time, they had stopped kissing as if no one else was watching, and began to taste the ramen face to face.
"By the way, Suzuki-kun, didn't I go to the hospital recently because I felt unwell? What do you think the final result was?"
While eating ramen in silence, Li Ming He heard the voices coming from the man and woman just now. Out of curiosity and gossip, he did not block out these voices.
"The doctor's expression is really scary, Suzuki-kun. He said I was suffering from something. Well, let me take a look."
——It was the sound of folded white paper unfolding.
“Ah, this is it, I suffer from “White Night Syndrome”! The doctor said that there are almost no cases of successful treatment of this disease in the country! Suzuki-kun, do you think I will die? "
"White Night Syndrome."
"That name again."
Li Ming paused for a moment, but did not stop handling the ramen. When the girl said these five words, his interest was peaked.
While meditating, I was also sighing that it was indeed the reaction of a new patient. According to the mentality of those veterans who have been sick for a long time, it was really the attitude of the Western dragon towards gold coins. Hidden Strictly true.
But this newcomer unceremoniously exposed his situation in public.
"Newcomers still need to practice. This sentence is an eternal truth in various situations."
"Suzuki-kun, I was really about to cry. You know? And that doctor was not as gentle as Suzuki-kun to comfort me. He waited until I was almost crying before handing me some weird forms to fill out."
"Normal process." Li Ming nodded slightly.
“The strangest thing about these forms is the “wishes”. You have to fill in some things that are simply impossible to realize. I really don’t understand. What’s the point of filling them in if they are impossible to realize? Then I filled them in "World destruction". "
"Pfft."
I drove back to my hometown all day today, and I just started writing in the evening, so I'm very sorry for today's chapter.
In addition, after reading the book, can you give me some feedback? I want to know the good, bad and shortcomings of my work. I will study hard and correct it.
