Lu Mingfei left Tokyo with Eriyi.

Tokyo was still shrouded in continuous rain, so they wore raincoats and boarded the train to a neighboring town.

When the train left the border of Tokyo, the sky was unexpectedly clear.

Lu Mingfei took Eliyi and got out of the car casually, walked out of the platform, and walked aimlessly, with the sun constantly moving over them.

As they passed the corner, the light and shadow were fragmented by the crisscrossing wires, and the afternoon in this small town was scattered and empty.

They had no destination. They were supposed to go to Disneyland, but the heavy rain disrupted their rhythm. It happened that they watched "5 Centimeters per Second" together last night, and Eriki said she wanted to go to the surrounding towns.

Lu Mingfei knew that Eriyi's understanding of the world came entirely from games and cartoons, but he didn't know that Eriyi would actually like to watch shows like Second 5.

The first time Lu Mingfei watched this animated film was at an event held by the sophomore literary club, and he was asked to write a 1,500-word review afterwards.

In a sense, the Japanese people's love for cherry blossoms is vividly displayed in this movie.

One characteristic of cherry blossoms is their instantaneous brilliance.

No matter how beautiful the cherry blossoms are, once they are past their flowering period, they will all fall away in a short period of time. The overwhelming mass of fallen cherry blossoms is so spectacular at that moment that it is shocking.

Strictly speaking, Lu Mingfei didn't like this movie.

Because this movie is about reality, or it is a story about people who are unable to change their fate and finally have to let go of their lives.

When he was in the high school literary club, Lu Mingfei read many books in his spare time, one of which was called "The Biography of Wukong".

There is a scene in this book. The four masters and disciples were standing in front of a stream in a dense forest. Tang Seng looked into the distance dreamily. Several of his disciples asked him what he was looking at. Tang Seng said that he was looking at fate and that the fate ahead was there.

limit.

The most naughty monkey had a sullen face and slammed forward, but was hit by a transparent wall and suffered a bloody head.

The monkey said that he didn't want to go to Leiyin, worship the ancient Buddha, or get the scriptures. But Tang Monk said that there are places in this world that you can't reach, there are places that you shouldn't reach, and there are places that you will never reach in your life.

Place, your world is not as big as you think. The limit may be around you, but you think you can go anywhere. The only place you can go is the place you are destined to go.

This is the limit, the limit of destiny.

So in the end Guishu and Mingli separated.

Whether it was the severe winter that year, the message that the station was late, the letter being blown away, or the reminder of the last train, they all foreshadowed the cruelty of reality to girls and boys.

They once optimistically believed that "love" could break through all constraints, so they cherished hope and looked forward to growing up.

But what finally comes is the long time and heavy distance that spans life.

Reality is always cruel.

So is fate.

So Lu Mingfei doesn't like this story.

He is a standard otaku who has watched a lot of anime and read a lot of youth literature influenced by high school clubs.

Benefiting from this, he has witnessed too many loves that could have been within reach with just one step, but ended up being far away due to various factors.

Cheeks that you can easily reach and kiss.

A hand you can reach out and touch.

Or the passionate emotions that can be expressed with just one opening of the mouth...

But for one reason or another, he fell before the limit of fate.

Looking back now, Lu Mingfei didn't even think that what Guishu longed for when he grew up was still understanding.

It's someone like Ming Li who can bring comfort to his empty heart.

What he is pursuing is a certain shining point in the past, an existence that is extremely special to him in the numb and empty life.

Just like Chen Wenwen, Senior Sister Nuonuo, and that guy named Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei slowly raised his hand and placed it on his heart.

Whether it was Lu Mingze, Norns, or Lao Mei, they all said that there was a huge hole in his place.

The reason why Chen Wenwen and his senior sister are special existences to him is precisely because their appearance briefly filled the hole in his heart.

He has been chasing this feeling, the warmth that fills his heart, and he once lost himself because of it.

Lu Mingfei suddenly grinned and laughed silently.

Because he thought of Journey to the West, the lonely version of Journey to the West——

The lonely Tang Monk met the lonely monkey who was suppressed at the foot of the mountain, and then they met the lonely pig looking up at the stars, and the lonely exiled Monk Sha.

Four lonely people have to go through countless hardships and travel hundreds of thousands of miles to go to the Western Heaven to obtain the true scripture.

It feels so lonely when I think about it.

Speaking of which, does Journey to the West collide with the core of Five Centimeters Per Second? After all, they both have a core of loneliness. In other words, isn't the mixed-race Blood Mourning also called loneliness?

It turns out that everyone is the same.

Guishu who lost his sense of purpose was lonely, Monkey Sun who left Huaguo Mountain was also lonely, and so was the unsociable hybrid.

The fence in front of the railroad tracks was suddenly lowered.

The railway sirens began to sound, drowning out all the surrounding noise.

The roar of a train was heard not far away, and the speeding train roared past, blocking their sight.

There is a tall cherry tree next to the railway, and its snow-white cherry blossom petals cover the surrounding asphalt road.

Lu Mingfei looked at the slowly falling cherry blossoms, turned his head slightly and looked at the girl in a white dress next to him.

He is not Guishu.

It’s not like he failed to break the tight band in the end.

He will not be beaten to death by the boundaries of fate.

He has long understood that the so-called bullshit fate is always in his own hands.

He will not be overwhelmed by the long time and distance.

The world is big, but it is only so big to him.

He cannot turn back time, but he can stretch it out and let the fleeting time flow slowly.

The wind from afar blew through the streets and kissed their cheeks.

Lu Mingfei raised his head, and above his head was the sky shrouded in hazy yellow sunlight. Those light pillars were projected from behind the clouds and slowly traveled over the small town.

When the train passed by, there was something desolate ahead. There were abandoned and messy ponds, and those heartless dandelions fluttering in the wind.

Lu Mingfei gently held the hand that was within reach beside him.

He was once a deserter in the face of fate. Even if he had the power, he was unable to turn everything around. He was always late at critical moments, missed important people, and missed precious opportunities. It was simply a life of defeat.

But it's different now.

He could stand on a higher place, with the clouds rolling and relaxing above his head, overlooking the chaotic and vast world from a commanding perspective, and hold the hand of his beloved girl.

But...what exactly is different about him?

Is it holding a stronger power?

Or predict all the future?

Or is he on his way back to becoming a king?

Maybe neither.

In the wind that happened to pass by, a piece of cherry blossom danced and fell on Erashi's ear.

Lu Mingfei raised his hand to catch the cherry blossoms and spread them in front of the girl.

He smiled brightly: "This is a gift for Eriyi, the order is 106 [Commandment], within a one-meter area around me, all elements will be silent. Therefore, Eriyi does not need to write a note from now on."

I really want to hear Eri’s voice.”

…

…

"One meter?" Su Enxi was stunned and complained, "Why only one meter? Is the smaller the range of discipline, the stronger it is? The domain of the night watchman at Kassel College can cover the entire college."

In the distance, using a telescope to spy on Lu Mingfei's mouth movements, Mai Shutoku used the lip language to translate in real time: "What do you think? Our Mr. Madman is still very scheming. Before, he looked like he was restrained.

He is such an innocent little virgin, I was really worried that he wouldn’t be able to win over this one, but now he’s fine, his potential as a scheming boy is slowly becoming apparent.”

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"Can't you understand this? Sorry, I forgot, you are a single mother with zero love experience."

"Why do you say that to me! Don't you have a boyfriend too?!"

"It's ridiculous. People chasing my wife are lining up from Japan to New York, but you only take photos of handsome guys at cocktail parties and send them to me on WeChat."

"Don't hit someone in the face and don't criticize someone, but don't expose their shortcomings. What does it mean? Please translate it quickly."

"Men are selfish creatures, especially when it comes to girlfriends. They want their wives to stay close to them and wear thick clothes in front of outsiders."
