"You're a professional... what?"

Yuan Zhisheng listened to the old man's inexplicable words, and saw the old man's encouraging actions, he frowned deeply, and there was a deep sense of puzzlement between his brows.

Hearing the meaning of the old man's words, it seems that he is regarded as a bitter young man who has lost his love and has nowhere to resolve it, so he can only come to the ramen stall to borrow "noodles" to entertain his boredom?

Yuan Zhisheng recalled his hesitation in front of the ramen stall, touched his long hair and clothes that were soaked by the rainstorm, and finally looked down at his tightly wrapped torso... Yuan Zhisheng I subconsciously made up in my mind.

I really look like a man who can't bear the blow of being abandoned by his lover, so he can only vent by hurting himself. In the end, after a simple bandage, he feels that he is so incompetent, and braves the rainstorm to drench himself It looked like a lost dog, until I saw such a warm and radiant ramen stall on a rainy night, like a lonely moth seeing the fire, or like a lonely ghost seeing redemption.

Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help a wry smile in his heart.

It turns out that I am not always the majestic man in front of Yasha, Crow, them, and the executive bureau cadres all the time, so I have such a downcast side?He is so downcast that people who meet him for the first time will even be regarded as a bereaved dog who cannot bear the blow of a broken relationship... But who would have thought that the contemporary patriarch with a prominent position in the Japanese yakuza family would wander back to the midnight streets of Tokyo in such a state of embarrassment? , just looking for a ramen stand?
Speaking of which, everyone has many different faces, and when playing a certain role, they will wear a mask belonging to a certain role, at least Yuan Zhisheng thinks so.

He used to think that Masamune Tachibana was a leader with the same appearance and appearance, but in fact it was just his mask. The real Masamune Tachibana hides an extreme and evil lunatic under his strict and strict appearance...and Yuan Zhisheng himself is not like this?
Sitting in the position of the head of the Sheqiba family, he must be calm and stable, not to be surprised by favor or humiliation. Only a very majestic posture can subdue a large and complicated family, but when no one is around, the essence of Yuanzhisheng is just A lazy young man who longs to go to a nude beach in France every day to sell sunscreen and see beauties in bikinis.

So is this incomprehensible man in front of him the same as himself?Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help thinking about it.

More than 60 years ago, this man took off the mask of the Mafia Supreme. He played the role of a gossip and philistine ramen master. The ramen master has been wearing this mask for more than 60 years. It has been firmly adhered to the skin and grows with the skin. Together, it has reached the point where it is difficult to take off, so in my opinion, this old man does not have the majesty of the mafia supreme and the strongest mixed race, but looks like an ordinary, mediocre, and even a little neurotic ordinary person .

"Never mind what I'm professional, whether I'm a professional ramen chef or a professional relationship counselor, it's you..." Uesugi stared at Yuan Zhisheng more and more, "I think you should have held back your words , is there a need for someone to talk to, right?"

"Young man, you are very lucky today, because I am in a good mood today. If you have anything you want to say, you can stay in my ramen stand, even if you complain about the heartless woman who abandoned you, for your love. It’s okay to deeply regret your mistakes, anyway, just say whatever comes to your mind.” Uesugi Koshi clapped his hands together, “I tell you young man, I’m an experienced person, you’d better listen to my advice, or you won’t get anything It’s easy to hold yourself back from getting sick.”

Listening to Uesugi's eloquent persuasion, Yuan Zhisheng lost his mind for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "You're thinking about it, I'm not broken in love... It's just that something happened at home."

"Oh, let me just say, there is absolutely no need for young people to risk their lives for love." Uesugi Koshi nodded seriously, "It turns out that something happened at home. If something happened at home, it is indeed worse than being broken in love." Oops!"

"Can you tell me about the situation at home? Don't worry, I don't know you, and I don't know your family members. I'm just an ordinary ramen chef. If you talk to a strange ramen chef like me, these things won't affect you. Anyone." Uesugi Yue looked at the unconcealable sadness under Yuan Zhisheng's calm face, he patted Yuan Zhisheng's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "I see the desire to tell on your face, 'I am very happy' Distressed' is almost written on the face."

Yuan Zhisheng looked at the old man's kind face, the old man's palm was particularly warm, and patting him on the shoulder gave people an inexplicable reassuring force, as if the wet and cold rain on his body had become warmer, which made people feel involuntarily I just want to confide in him the recent series of terrible things, and then get comfort from him... Although Yuan Zhisheng knew that most of these things were caused by his psychological effects, it is undeniable that the old man in front of him did give him a sense of comfort. A feeling of trust.

This is a very mysterious feeling, because Yuan Zhisheng has never had this kind of experience. In his opinion, it is very difficult to have a feeling of trust in a person and it takes a long time to get along with him. Yuan Zhisheng He never felt that anyone he met for the first time was trustworthy, even for Tachibana Masamune who he met for the first time, he subconsciously responded with vigilance.

But for the old man in front of him... Maybe this feeling can no longer be called "trust", but more like a kind of "dependence".

Is this the power of a ramen master?It makes a person who meets for the first time have an unnecessary sense of dependence on him... What a terrible power.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Zhisheng exhaled slowly, and began to whisper: "Recently, some... very bad things happened in my home... Some people were injured, some people died, the number of dead and injured a lot of."

"Although I tell myself every time that everyone is going to die, no one in this world can't die, and it's natural for someone to die... But it's really bad to witness death, because once a person dies, nothing will happen. Gone." Yuan Zhisheng said quietly, "His story, his experience, his whole life, he has worked so hard for half his life but he can't take anything with him... Gradually, he will be forgotten by the society and be surrounded by others. forgotten by the people, and finally forgotten by the whole world..."

"I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it!" Uesugi Yue lightly applauded, "I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of life at such a young age!"

Uesugi looked at Yuan Zhisheng more unexpectedly, his expression was as excited as if he had found a confidant, and then he suddenly realized that it was not appropriate to show such a joyful and surprised expression when others talked about the tragedy of the family. So he coughed twice more, and said in a low voice.

"Ahem...you said a lot of people died? From what you're saying, your family seems to be very large, and what happened in your family should be quite serious. There were injuries and deaths. It sounds very serious." Uesugi Yue Rubbing his chin and furrowing his brows, he asked Yuan Zhisheng, "So you are sad now because many people died in your family, and you feel sad for it?"

"It's only part of the reason." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head lightly, hesitated for a moment, and said frankly, "It's actually my father who makes it harder for me to accept... No, it's because I mistakenly thought that I could be treated like a father and a teacher. That man, that man deceived me, making him someone other than me who I can trust and entrust, but the root cause of the recent disasters in the family is all because of him. Many people in the clan died because of him, and many people bleed... "

"I questioned him, and asked him for an explanation for those clansmen, on a occasion where there were only the two of us." Yuan Zhisheng said in a low voice, "To be honest, I also have such a little bit of unrealistic expectations in my heart. ...I hope that all this is false, an illusory dream, but it is impossible, so I can only hope that he can tell me the truth frankly, and sincerely admit his mistakes to those dead clansmen... He used to be like this Teach me."

"He said that no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes all their lives. To judge whether a man is worthy of forgiveness after making mistakes is not based on whether his mistakes are minor or serious, but Let's see if he has the courage to take responsibility after making mistakes, whether he will reflect on and repent because of his mistakes, and whether he has the determination and will to make up for his mistakes." Yuan Zhisheng recalled the tone of Tachibana Zhengzong when he taught him these words , "And if a person doesn't even dare to look directly at his own problems after making a mistake, but just avoids blindly, then he is a coward... When a man becomes a coward, he is not worthy of being forgiven anyway, even if His mistakes are easy to make up for, but the shame will stay with him for the rest of his life."

Yuan Zhisheng can still recall almost all of Tachibana Masamune's earnest teachings to him. He used to think that that man was like this. He treated you as a son, and he would wish to instill all the principles of life he has penetrated into you. Just like a father always wants to give his children the best of everything, regardless of whether those things are what the children need.

Yuan Zhisheng once regarded every word of that man's teaching as an important thing in life, and its value was more than money and power. This was the most meaningful thing that man left him, just like the man told His, this is a kind of inheritance. Only by integrating all these principles can he become like that man, a man who can support such a huge organization of the Japanese underworld.

But now Yuan Zhisheng knows that all of this is deception, everything that man told him is a lie, he can't tell the difference anymore, he doesn't know whether the principles that the man taught him are correct or fallacious, He wanted to forget, but these words had long been ingrained in his mind, and he unconsciously imitated the man's tone of voice.

Even though Yuan Zhisheng's words had already made his identity a metaphor enough, Uesugi Koshi focused on Yuan Zhisheng's words, and didn't think too much about the identity of this young man.

"Very old-fashioned words, too old-fashioned, really like those antique old men who lived from Showa 30 to this century." Uesugi Yue put his hands on his chest and commented on Yuan Zhisheng's retelling, "But these The truth itself is correct, but it is too big and empty. This is a consistent problem of the Japanese. They always like to talk about some illusory and empty truths, what a man should do...what is the world like...please! Think you are living Was it the samurai in the Edo period? In this day and age, only those children who have suffered from chuunikuni disease before they grow up will use such old-fashioned sentences, right?"

Yuan Zhisheng's heart was moved by what Uesugi Yue said, and he suddenly remembered that this old man's reaction was exactly the same as his previous one!
When Tachibana Masamune first used these instructive words to him, Yuan Zhisheng's first reaction was that there are still such old-fashioned old guys in this society, but under the perennial influence of Tachibana Masamune, Yuan Zhisheng slowly accepted these, and for a time made these teachings the creed of life.

But at this moment, Uesugi’s more critical and sarcastic words made Yuan Zhisheng suddenly remember that he was not a person who liked to be bound by these rules and principles, and these rules. He remembered these only because he admired Tachibana Masamune. This is a kind of Stereotype memory... just like many children don't like the texts in the textbooks, but because of the majesty of the teacher, or want to behave better in front of the teacher, get enough attention and love, so they act like a puppet Recite the entire text.

Yuan Zhisheng took a deep look at Uesugi Koshi, perhaps the man in front of him was really his father, the one who resolutely abandoned his supreme power and noble status more than 60 years ago, broke away from the family, and disappeared into history man.

Maybe he really wants to be a ramen chef, so he has been doing it for more than 60 years. Yes, that’s why he lives so freely and freely, without any airs, and he doesn’t seem to have a noble blood and background at all A man, because he did what he wanted to do, did not carry mountains of burdens and cruel deceptions in his life.

This kind of life...isn't it what I'm after?

Yuan Zhisheng thought that he had a little understanding of this man who was probably his father, and a weary smile soundlessly pulled out from the corner of his mouth.

"Yeah, if you're so old-fashioned, you'll be like an outdated samurai... I expect that man to give me a decent answer, at least give me an attitude of repentance." Yuan Zhisheng paused, and said in a frustrated tone "But he didn't... That was the last trust I could give him against my conscience, but he failed my trust, and it also meant that I who trusted him also failed those bloody dead in the family people."

"At that time, I wished I could draw out my knife, smear his neck fiercely, and flee from this family desperately...to escape from these silent and solemn but cruel truths that are unacceptable."
