Under Night
General Fiction夜幕之下
Meng Xiaowu
When we met again, Ruoyin and I were surprisingly calm. One afternoon in the summer of 2013, on the ridiculously wide sidewalk in Roppongi, Tokyo, the west-westerly sunlight lay between us. At that time, she was rushing towards me and stopped at a distance from me where I usually sit in the defendant's dock and the plaintiff's dock. When she raised her hand to block the ray of sunlight, I blocked her visual channel to the ANB entrance opposite. I didn't look up at her at first. The reason why my eyes were diverted from the situation of the information in my hand at that moment was entirely because the rhythm of her trolley suitcase rubbing against the ground was accompanied all the way within my hearing range, and then stopped abruptly. Out of curiosity, I looked up and met her gaze. She has changed.
