Chapter 511: The Art of Cursing
I'm flying back to Tokyo soon.
Hokkaido is about one thousand kilometers away from Tokyo, and it takes about an hour and a half to fly from New Chitose Airport to Haneda.
The return flight was booked in first class.
To ensure privacy, each seat is separated by a curtain to create an independent space, equipped with a single bed that can be laid down, an extra-large screen and a full-body wardrobe. There are also fresh fruits, vegetables and snacks on the bedside table.
Although we were only sitting there for such a short time, these things were completely unused and seemed a bit of a waste.
But the seat is very spacious, and you can see the scenery thousands of meters above the sky by sitting by the window. The warm sunlight shines on the sky above the snow country that is getting farther and farther away, and also sprinkles on the wings, reflecting a layer of faint floating light, which passes through the clouds and dances in the air like broken gold.
But even looking at such a scenery, I still felt a little unmotivated unexpectedly.
This is probably the loneliness after the carnival.
Although this trip to Hokkaido was completely different from my original plan, it was as charming as a dream in Spirited Away.
Passing through the long tunnel, entering the bustling and lively market, the bathhouse full of danger and fantasy, experiencing fantastic adventures, meeting and parting with many people, and finally returning to the world that should belong to you.
Although Chihiro and Haku made a promise to meet again, so many years have passed and there is still no sequel, and they have never met again. It is probably because, in the real world, beautiful things like this like to end so abruptly.
But...it's fine this way.
Even though we won't meet again, the memories will always be beautiful.
On and off the screen, movie sequels often find it difficult to surpass their predecessors, with the vast majority ending in failure. There are always very few that can maintain their original intentions and levels and continue to persevere.
Perhaps it is because the previous encounter was so beautiful, and we go to see the next one with such expectations. If we find that it is something completely different, the disappointment and pain we get are often doubled.
It would be better not to make a sequel. An ending like Spirited Away seems pretty good.
"Hello." Just as I was thinking this, a beautiful face suddenly came out from behind the door curtain, smiling and extending her hand to greet me, "So you are really here, long time no see."
"Teacher Gojo!"
I sat up straight, and suddenly came to my senses from all the messy, wild and bizarre thoughts. I looked at him with surprise, as well as the two faces behind him who were also wearing cosplay makeup but still looked handsome.
"Don't you have something urgent to do and need to go on a business trip abroad?" I asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly appear on this flight?"
What else can you say "long time no see"?
We separated on New Year's Eve after midnight, and it has been less than 48 hours since then. Normally, even friends don't meet this often.
"Oh, you said you were on a business trip." Xia Youjie explained, "Because I came out temporarily, my passport and other things are still there, so I have to get them first before I can go in."
Ah, that's right. Generally speaking, when traveling in China, few people would think of bringing their passports with them when they go abroad.
"However, what a coincidence that we are on the same plane." I asked, "Did you know I was going to fly to this company?"
"Hmm. Not really." Gojo Kiri blinked and replied, "I just roughly calculated which flight you would take based on your check-out time, the time it takes to take a taxi from the hotel to the airport, and the rule that you need to board the plane about an hour in advance."
"I was just trying my luck, thinking that maybe I would meet you. I didn't expect that God was on our side." He winked at me in a cute way and said, "Lucky."
"So that's how it is, hahaha..." I touched the goose bumps falling off my body and couldn't help thinking in my heart that although this teacher is almost 30 years old, he has surprisingly retained his childish innocence very well.
"So you plan to go back to Tokyo to get your passports and luggage before leaving. When will you leave?"
"Emm...they said the situation wasn't that urgent and asked us to go there tomorrow. But we thought the sooner we go there to help, the better impression we'll leave, so we plan to go back to work and go there right away."
"That sounds like a very important partner with a lot of say."
Glancing at my grandson, Princess Teacher, who was standing on the other side with her arms crossed and looking a little oppressed, I felt a sense of empathy for no reason and said sympathetically, "It seems that no matter what industry you are in, there will always be clients who are difficult to serve."
"Well." Hearing this, Gojo Kiri rubbed his chin and said with some disapproval, "You can't say it's hard to serve, it's just that we are a little bit more concerned about it."
"If I must say it..." Xia Youjie thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It should be a bit like when I was a kid and went to a good friend's house to play, I would always deliberately restrain myself when I saw their parents, and unconsciously move towards the direction of a very well-behaved, sensible and polite good kid."
"If they are afraid of leaving a bad impression, they will not invite themselves in the future and will ask their friends not to associate with them," he said. "That's probably how they feel."
Wow...what a complex psychological process.
Forgive me for not having graduated from college yet and not knowing how difficult it is to work, but, these days, what kind of workplace would force a child to be like this?
"Making friends is the child's own business. If he/she is determined to continue to associate with you, then no matter what your parents say, it will be difficult to shake his/her mind and it will not affect your friendship."
I tried to understand this strange way of thinking, but found that I couldn't understand it at all. So I had to analyze it literally: "If we follow this logic, shouldn't your focus be on your friends?"
"Ah, about that." Gojo Kiri glanced at me, touched his nose, pursed his lips, and said with a rare bit of frustration, "We are also working hard."
It looks like things aren't going very well with my friends.
"Anyway, if it were me," I narrowed my eyes, trying to look at the problem thoughtfully from the perspective of a professional, "I wouldn't care about parents or children. I would just think that no matter how annoying Party A is, I can't offend them right away."
"So I just had to endure it until he signed and paid the money..."
"After signing and paying the money." My grandson teacher, who was not very interested in the topic, raised his eyebrows and asked as if he suddenly had an idea, "What are you going to do?"
"I'd probably insult and curse him behind his back." I thought, and answered, "If they really hate him, they'd probably draw a picture of him and use it to practice darts."
"I want to ask you something out of curiosity." Xia Yujie raised the corners of his lips and smiled, and asked, "Lily-chan, what do you usually say when you curse people?"
"Water stuck in teeth, stepping on dog poop when going out, being bitten by a dog, having an umbrella stolen on a rainy day, falling on flat ground, being splashed with dirty water from a speeding car while walking..." I listed a lot of things in a row, and finally said, "But the most common thing is probably cursing the other person to be bald."
Five fogs, Xia Yujie: "........"
Both of them looked at me speechlessly.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I was a little flustered when being looked at like this, "This shouldn't be considered particularly vicious, right?"
"Rather than being vicious..." Gojo Kiri said in a cryptic way, "it's better to say that you curse people in a way that's not appropriate."
"You cursed me so lightly, should I say you are worthy of me?"
"What do you mean by worthy of me?" I felt as if I was looked down upon, and I said unconvincedly, "It is common sense that you can only curse people to this extent."
If it happens accidentally, I will feel like it is my fault and I will feel guilty.
"What do you think, Mr. Fushiguro?" I turned my head to the other side, trying to find someone who could support me, but I found that he had a dark face and seemed to be talking to himself, immersed in some memories.
I moved my ears and heard him gnashing his teeth and saying, "I got a tooth stuck when drinking water, stepped on dog shit, fell on the ground... I was wondering why I was so much more unlucky than usual for a while. You little bitch, should I thank you for not making me bald?"
I:"?"
What is he talking about?
