Chapter 76: Colorful clouds are easy to disperse and glass is broken, after the brilliance is loneliness

~7 min read 1,392 words

Haven't been so relaxed for a long time~

Nagayama Naoki, who stayed until dark without knowing it, suddenly remembered the departure time of the houseboat and rushed over immediately.

The lady at the front desk was still on duty. After seeing Nagayama Naoki walk into the hotel lobby again, she immediately gave a big smile.

"Customer, you are back~"

Such enthusiasm made Nagayama Naoki feel a little strange.

How come there is a feeling of a wife welcoming home, could it be that this is making guests feel at home?

"Hai, didn't miss the boarding time, right?"

"Boarding will take about 5 minutes, customer, please follow me."

Saying that, she led Nagayama Naoki to the pier.

The small houseboat booked only has 4 tables, separated by bamboo screens, 2 of which already have people.

One table is a couple, convenient kimono, at a glance it is a couple date; the other table seems to be business entertainment, two men and one woman are all dressed in suits and leather shoes.

Nagayama Naoki is dressed in ordinary solid-colored T-shirt and jeans, which seems a bit out of place.

However, insisting on fitness, you can faintly see muscle lines through the T-shirt. The fair face raised at home, matched with a handsome face, it is not an exaggeration to say "Tokyo Eddie Peng"~

Didn't you see the girl in the couple and the urban beauty in the reception team shining with their eyes?

"Customer, this is your seat." The lady at the front desk left a bit reluctantly after leading the person over, "If you have any needs, I am at the front desk~"

"Hai, arigato!"

Until the boat opened, I didn't see the fourth group of customers.

It seems that today's houseboat only has 3 tables.

The small houseboat is indeed very expensive. If it is not a holiday, it is generally not full on weekdays.

Some cold dishes were placed on the dining table, 5 plates in Japanese-style small plates.

Pickled radish, boiled beans, cold kelp shreds, tofu, shrimp dumplings, cucumber rolls...

Indeed, there is a cool feeling of summer.

Not long after the boat opened, the service staff began to serve the appetizers one by one.

It was tempura paired with some other dishes.

Nagayama Naoki wanted a bottle of sake, tasting while drinking.

The open-air cabin can directly see the river outside.

The sky has gradually darkened, and the red boat lights are projected on the slightly undulating water surface, rippling into fine shimmering light.

The lights on both sides of the strait also lit up, echoing with various shop signs, building a colorful night market scenery.

Office workers in a hurry, children playing, old people leisurely escaping the heat, appeared one by one on both sides of the coast, and gradually went away.

No need for a master to wave a pen, it is already a floating painting of real urban life.

People who go out for a walk occasionally cast their eyes on the small boat in the river.

Looking at the antique house boat slowly moving into the river channel, the red lanterns illuminate a small piece of red water around, and the soft lights inside the boat show a few slightly blurred figures, as if ancient princes and nobles were traveling at night on the river.

You look at the scenery on the shore on the boat, and the people who look at the scenery look at you on the shore~

It is not unreasonable for so many people to like to take a houseboat.

As the small boat moves slowly,

The main dish arranged by the boatman has appeared.

Freshly caught tuna sashimi is placed on crushed ice, surrounded by lemon slices and wasabi, and it looks more crystal clear against the green perilla leaves.

Nagayama Naoki rolled up the fish slices with some wasabi, dipped a little soy sauce and put it in his mouth. After a faint coolness, it was a rich taste experience:

The fresh and tender fish meat almost doesn't need to be chewed, only a fresh and sweet taste, blended with the salty freshness of soy sauce and the spicy freshness of wasabi, spraying out, as if playing a fierce rock music on the tongue, making people unable to stop.

Drink a sip of sake, eat a piece of sashimi, it is really enjoyment.

The couple next to them were silently feeding dog food, you feed a piece of sashimi, I send a piece of fish meat, and there were whispers with laughter from time to time; the group of business entertainment drank more wine, toasting and complimenting each other, the atmosphere gradually became enthusiastic, and the laughter also seemed bold.

Thanks to the open river surface, wind sound, water sound, and the separation of bamboo partitions, it doesn't seem noisy, but it has a kind of purity of being in the bustling city but the heart is in the red dust.

Thinking of this, Nagayama Naoki couldn't help laughing:

"Without knowing it, this state of mind is actually so high~"

When the next plain mushroom soup appeared, the broadcast on the boat suddenly rang.

"Dear passengers, the summer farewell fireworks performance of the Sumida River is about to begin, please enjoy."

Sure enough, one or two minutes later, a bunch of fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, fireworks of various colors bloomed along the Sumida River one after another.

Flowers bloomed in the night sky one by one,

And scattered one after another, one after another, continuous.

As the rhythm of the fireworks continued to accelerate, colorful fireworks competed for beauty in the sky.

Purple is enchanting, green is shy, blue is cold, red is enthusiastic.

The mysterious Takamagahara opened a mouth in the night,

Allowing mortals on the ground to have the honor to see the gorgeous jade trees and flowers in the heavenly garden.

Brilliant and gorgeous colors,

Full of sky, rippling on the water, reflecting in the eyes, printing into the heart,

Intense emotions, enthusiastic and unrestrained, seem to bloom forever~

However, good things in the world do not last long.

Colorful clouds are easy to disperse and glass is broken, after the brilliance is loneliness...

The colorful fireworks always have a moment of dissipation, just like all passionate love.

Unlike the Sumida River Fireworks Festival in the midsummer of July and August,

The fireworks performance to say goodbye to summer is only more than 20 minutes.

And it didn't stop abruptly after the most brilliant fireworks bloomed together,

But as the farewell moment approached, the rhythm of the fireworks gradually slowed down, and the flowers disappeared slowly one by one,

Until a trace of regret remained in the audience's heart.

The colorful colors in the eyes gradually faded.

A piece of music depicting fireworks in Nagayama Naoki's brain did not stop.

Instead, with a touch of faint regret, it became clearer and clearer.

Didn't expect that watching a fireworks would also recall past memories.

Shaking his head, the slightly drunk feeling made him a bit unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

It seems that this piece of music really rang in his ears, getting clearer and clearer.

"Kishou, why does it feel like a hallucination?"

After the last firework stopped, inside the small boat originally

The couple next to them seemed to have discovered Nagayama Naoki's abnormality, discussed a few words, and the woman called the waiter.

"That gentleman seems a bit uncomfortable, I don't know if he is seasick?"

The waiter wearing a simple kimono also came to ask:

"Customer, do you have any discomfort?"

In Nagayama Naoki's ears, it seems that the waiter's words carry a sad BGM, but fortunately, he can still hear clearly.

"Nothing, just drank too much wine."

Then Nagayama Naoki nodded to the couple next to him to express his gratitude.

Vaguely, he could hear the man saying "I said it was okay~"

The reception bureau behind the bamboo partition started drinking again, chatting enthusiastically.

It was already night, the temperature in the river was lower, Nagayama Naoki ate the warm mushroom soup and felt a bit sweating, and the wine was much clearer.

However, the music in his brain kept echoing.

It seems that he listened too much when working overtime in his previous life.

It really became a brainwashing cycle~ ===== CHAPTER 77 =====
