"If it's always the same, how can I make progress? How can I be worthy of Shizuka?"
"When encountering problems, I just run away and never think about how to change the status quo. I obviously want to seize the future I want, but I never take actual actions."
"I always dream about marrying Shizuka in the future, and at the same time I pessimistically think that Shizuka will never be happy if she marries me. The cycle goes on and on, but all I can do is ask Doraemon every day if Shizuka will marry me. Whether there will be changes in the future, whether the probability of change will increase. And all of this... must be rooted in my own cowardice and incompetence."
"So, why can't I have the confidence and determination to like Shizuka for once? Why can't I put her in my future plans without any deviation?"
"Why do I want the future of Shizuka to marry me to change in the slightest before that day comes?"
"I really really... really really like Shizuka, but it's useless. I have asked Doraemon many times: 'Please! Doraemon, please let Shizuka like it. Fuck me!’ Even though Doraemon did it in the end, I know in my heart that it’s not true love, it has a time limit! It will expire!”
"Only when I grow up do I understand that it is not easy to like someone. What should I like for you? A future that may change at any time and is not sure at all?"
"I can't even grasp the things in front of me, and I can't even keep up with Shizuka's progress, so why talk about the future?"
"So...do we still have to rely on Doraemon? Just like when I was a child, I would go directly to the top of the mountain with Doraemon's props, and then give myself the illusion that I am excellent, and give myself a The dreamlike joy of being able to reach the top of the mountain without any effort?”
"Doraemon will eventually leave, and what have I changed? Do I want everyone to know that even if Doraemon intervenes in my life, my future will still be determined by my own cowardice and incompetence And won’t there be any big changes?”
"While I check whether there is any change in the future every day, I sleep in class every day and don't do my homework. I don't even dare to say a few more words to Shizuka. I'm afraid that Shizuka will ignore me and I'm afraid that Shizuka will reject me. But when others agree, I feel I am not good enough for her and think she should go with someone better..."
"I am so generous and great. In order to be able to reasonably escape the difficulties at hand, I sacrificed myself very generously and helped others."
"I have always been hiding in a hypocritical mask, showing off my superficial nobility. I never think about my own reasons, why I can't keep up with Shizuka, why I can't be the first , why can’t I hold Shizuka and run all the way to the top of the mountain!”
"...Only when you have truly won can you say you don't care about winning or losing. So, it's time to wake up, Nobi Nobita."
On the mountain path, a dejected figure was slowly moving forward.
Nobita thought a lot along the way, because everyone had already surpassed him, so no one bothered him at all.
The mountains are as loving as the sea, and the trees are as angry as the waves. Unknown birds chirped briskly in the forest, and the wind often blew on the trail, causing the branches and leaves on the trees on both sides to fall and dance in the air.
Suddenly, Nobita stopped.
After a while, his hands began to gradually tighten, his teeth clenched, and his eyes began to become sharp and firm.
The next moment, without any hesitation, he took steps and began to climb up. His speed became faster and faster, and his breathing gradually became faster.
Soon, he passed the second to last team, followed by the third and fourth teams.
By the time he was almost halfway up the mountain, he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak, but he still took the biggest step he could, climbing up the stairs step by step, even though his speed had already reached the peak. It was countless times slower than before, but he did not stop this time.
Finally, Nobita reached the mountainside. At this time, he was exhausted. His clothes and shorts were soaked with sweat. To put it more exaggeratedly, he could not even stand up.
However, he originally thought that Shizuka would rest halfway up the mountain, but he learned from Fat Tiger and Xiaofu, who had already climbed halfway up the mountain, that Shizuka only rested for a while and then immediately continued climbing, and she did not talk to Izuku. Shan teamed up and was always alone.
As soon as Nobita heard the news, he couldn't care less about rest and just wanted to catch up with Shizuka as soon as possible.
However, he looked so weak now that he felt as if a breeze could blow him down.
There is a small square halfway up the mountain, next to the road that continues up the mountain. There is a specialty snack bar and a high tower specially used for taking pictures in the square.
Fat Tiger and Xiao Fu were holding two big bags of snacks and wandering around while eating. Seeing Nobita continuing to climb up like this, they couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Nobita, you guy, did you take the wrong medicine? You are so tired and you still have to keep climbing. Be careful, you will collapse later and fall directly into the soil! Hahahaha!"
"It seems that Nobita wanted to show off in front of Shizuka, but when Shizuka climbed up, she was not like you. She seemed to have fought for her life to climb up, hahaha!"
Nobita ignored Fat Tiger and Xiaofu, but after drinking the last sip of water in the water bottle, he silently walked to the road up the mountain.
"...Hey, that guy Nobita, you're not really going, are you?" Fat Tiger frowned when he saw that Nobita didn't look like he was joking, "How could he still crawl like that?" Already?"
"Even if it's just to catch up with Shizuka, this is too..." Xiaofu shook his head when he saw this.
"Nobita!" Suddenly, at this moment, Fat Tiger called him from behind.
Nobita was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned his head. As soon as he turned around, Fat Hu stuffed a piece of bread and a bottle of water into his hand.
"Really, hurry up and replace your pig brain. You can only hold on without any common sense. Don't wait until Shizuka catches up before you burp yourself first."
Nobita looked down at the bread and water in his hand, then raised his head to look at Fat Tiger, and a warm current suddenly surged into his heart.
"Thanks, Fat Tiger."
Watching Nobita leave, Fat Tiger muttered to himself in confusion while eating skewers: "I really can't figure it out. It's not a big deal. Why are you working so hard?"
"Well, probably, this is Nobita." Xiaofu looked at the direction Nobita left and shrugged.
The road up the mountain became even more twists and turns. Nobita's vision was obscured by sweat several times. His whole body seemed to be soaked by heavy rain. It is no exaggeration to say that the total amount of sweat he has shed in the past few years has not amounted to this amount. Many times.
He had no idea how he climbed up. He just kept saying to himself: "Don't stop, don't stop!"
Relying on this belief that he didn't even know the reason for, Nobita survived until now. He finally proved that it was not that he couldn't do it, but that he always found various reasons for himself to avoid difficulties, so even if he was willing to I won't do anything that I can do with a little effort, so I've always been labeled a loser.
However, as long as you are willing to start changing, it is never too late.
"Nobita?!"
Shizuka was walking on the road with a gloomy face, her eyes lowered, not knowing what she was thinking, but suddenly, she heard the sound of someone gasping behind her.
In fact, the sound sounded some distance away from her, but because it was so loud, Shizuka heard it from a long distance away.
Then, the voice got closer and closer. When Shizuka felt that the owner of the voice was approaching behind her, she turned her head curiously.
"...Nobita?"
When Shizuka saw Nobita's forehead clearly covered by his hanging wet hair, her expression suddenly changed.
No longer able to care about the surprise, Shizuka quickly turned around and ran towards Nobita, but perhaps because she was running too fast, or perhaps because her legs were already a little weak, Shizuka suddenly stepped on the air and headed straight towards the person below. The stairs fell down!
"Ah ah!"
At the same time, Nobita also happened to raise his head. When he saw Shizuka falling down the stairs, time seemed to have stopped. Nobita was already so exhausted that he had no time to react to this unexpected situation. .
"boom!"
The next second, Shizuka's falling movement stopped abruptly. It turned out that she grabbed the railing at the critical moment. The railing on this mountain road was very strong, even though Shizuka grabbed it so hard with the violent impact of her fall. , the trunk did not tremble at all,
However, just when Shizuka and Nobita breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, suddenly, something shiny fell from Shizuka's hand holding the railing.
That's Shizuka's necklace.
Shizuka originally wanted to put it away when she got out of the car, but she forgot about it because of some things. It wasn't until just now that intense sweat flowed through her neck, causing some discomfort on her skin, that Shizuka recalled that it turned out that The necklace was still on her neck.
However, as soon as she took off the necklace, there were gasps from her back. A moment later, when she wiped the necklace clean with a handkerchief, she turned her head and was about to put the necklace into her backpack, casually looking to see who was following her. When she was done, Nobita, already soaked all over, appeared in her sight.
Just like that, Shizuka's necklace slid all the way down the steep hillside and into the dense jungle below.
Shizuka stared blankly at the spot where the necklace fell under the railing, her mind went blank, and she didn't even realize what had just happened.
Although this is not a cliff and is surrounded by a large area of trees and vegetation, the mountain is not low. Who knows if there is a bottomless valley and abyss under the dense branches and leaves?
The kind of necklaces worn by girls are originally small, and when folded into a ball, they are about the same size as a bottle cap. How can you find them in such a deep mountain and old forest halfway up the mountain? Not to mention falling into an unknown area, where the foliage looks lush, but in fact there is probably a valley below. Once you fall down and miss the mark, the consequences will be disastrous.
Until now, Nobita's memory is still profound. He even clearly remembers how many minutes Shizuka had to stand up after being stunned. She knew very well that it was impossible to get the necklace back, and she faced Nobita who was no less anxious than her. , just said lightly:
"Forget it, it's okay."
Nobita has thought about asking Doraemon for help, but for some reason, Doraemon's props are often sent for repair recently, and many of them are even no longer usable.
He noticed a long time ago that the props in Doraemon's pocket seemed to be gradually decreasing, because he was reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy new models, and the old models were restricted by future department stores and could not be used. Therefore, Doraemon used to have I was very depressed for a while and thought that I was useless.
Although Shizuka said she was fine, Nobita knew very well that her current mood was like the necklace that fell into the mountains, and had hit rock bottom.
Nobita couldn't help but feel very guilty. Because from a certain point of view, Shizuka accidentally fell down and indirectly dropped the necklace because of herself, so she also had a large part of the responsibility for this matter.
He looked at the jungle under the fence. In fact, it was not too far from the ground. He could even reach out and touch the nearest tree. Moreover, the hillside was not vertical, but slightly sloping, and there were many trees around it. Thick trees and vines can be used as temporary footholds and support points.
He firmly believed that it was impossible for the necklace to slide down the valley, because there were dense branches and leaves blocking it. These jungles could even prevent mudslides, so how could a necklace not be stopped?
That necklace is definitely stuck in the jungle below, Daxiong thought, and then, a very dangerous idea grew in his mind.
I don't know when there were more clouds, and the sun disappeared and appeared sometimes, like playing hide and seek.
On the stone steps in the mountain, Shizuka walked in front without saying a word. In order not to let Shizuka find out, Nobita deliberately said that his foot had accidentally sprained just now, and then found a nearby big stone and sat on it to rest.
Shizuka was originally in no mood to say another word, but she seemed to vaguely guess what Nobita wanted to do. After standing there for a few seconds, she said without looking back:
"Nobita...promise me not to go anywhere."
As soon as she finished speaking, for some reason, Shizuka was suddenly startled, then slowly lowered her head, and then quickened her pace and walked forward.
Nobita replied slowly "Yes" at first, then looked at Shizuka's sad back, and felt as if something had hit him hard on the chest, making him breathless in pain.
After resting for a while, Nobita's physical strength recovered a lot, so he immediately came to the fence where he had just been. Seeing that no one was around, he took a deep breath and awkwardly climbed up to the height of half a person. of walls.
...
"Nobita... I'm sorry."
It's still raining heavily.
Shizuka looked into Nobita's eyes, and for some reason, a hint of guilt slowly appeared in those eyes.
She didn't know why she was so selfish.
At that time, after hearing Nobita say that she had sprained her ankle and could not walk, she stood there and paused for a few seconds. During these few seconds, her parents personally helped her put on the necklace at the eighteenth birthday party. kept flashing in her mind.
To her, that necklace was a priceless treasure that she could only have once in her life. But now, she accidentally lost it.
However, she was not completely desperate yet. For some reason, she knew that Nobita would definitely help her find the necklace. She knew that Nobita was probably lying to her when he said he had sprained ankles. She knew...
But suddenly a voice in her heart told her that she didn't know.
She knows nothing.
Just let it be, right?
Soon after, she climbed to the top of the mountain with anxiety, and learned that because Dekisugi didn't choose to continue climbing immediately when he was halfway up the mountain, she was actually the first.
However, she did not feel any joy.
Watching one classmate after another reach the top of the mountain, but Nobita was nowhere to be seen, Shizuka's inner anxiety gradually turned into uneasiness, and an indescribable regret and guilt suddenly poured into her heart.
She began to feel scared and panicked, and suddenly wanted to slap herself hard. She knew clearly that Nobita would probably do something stupid for her, but she pretended not to know!
"In the world...is there anyone more selfish than me?"
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt guilty and ashamed, and then immediately dragged her tired body and wanted to go back to the boulder where Nobita had rested before to find Nobita, but was stopped by Fat Tiger.
Soon, Fat Tiger went to look for Nobita according to the location mentioned by Shizuka, and soon found him. After returning with Nobita on his back, he laughed and told the teachers and classmates that Nobita fell asleep behind the boulder.
Suddenly, she felt relieved, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Nobita...you idiot!"
"Do you know how worried I am about you!"
Nobita scratched the back of his head with a silly smile on his face. For some reason, he had a loose coat hanging on his back, completely covering his body.
"Jingxiang, I'm sorry..." After a moment, he suddenly lowered his eyes and said softly.
Shizuka was slightly startled when she heard this. She knew what Nobita was referring to, but she didn't speak and just shook her head slightly.
"Nobita, as long as you're okay..."
Looking at Nobita in front of her, she suddenly felt that everything seemed unimportant.
But, she knew that at that time, at the moment when she pretended that she knew nothing, a permanent stain had been left on her heart.
"...Fool." After listening to Shizuka's guilt-ridden confession, Nobita suddenly smiled, "Why should you feel sorry? You think so because you believe in me from beginning to end and believe that I can do all this. ah."
Shizuka couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
At the same time, Dekisugi who was not far away seemed to sense something, his eyes suddenly widened, and at the same time he couldn't help but murmured to himself:
"Impossible...this is impossible..."
As he spoke, he looked at the three people standing in front of him in the heavy rain. His whole body suddenly began to tremble, and his eyes widened, as if he was desperately trying to suppress something.
"I have always been a fool who can't do anything well in the eyes of others, but you are different, Shizuka." Nobita looked into Shizuka's eyes and continued to smile, "You believe me, I can follow you. Climb to the top of the mountain and believe that I can find your necklace in this deep mountain. Believe that I can do anything that others cannot do. When others doubt me, only you choose to believe in me without hesitation. "
Nobita said, looking at Shizuka with increasingly gentle eyes.
"Your trust in me makes me understand that I am never a loser, and I am never alone. It is precisely because of this... that I can get your necklace back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nobita suddenly stretched out his hand slowly and opened his palm. There was actually a golden necklace lying inside.
Crystal clear and radiant.
Shizuka looked at the necklace in Nobita's hand with disbelief, and was so surprised that she forgot how to speak.
In fact, the facts are very clear. The necklace Izuku gave to Shizuka last time was just an illusion, and the necklace in Nobita's hands is the real Shizuka's necklace.
In fact, Nobita didn't know what was going on, because this necklace suddenly appeared in his hand just now.
But he didn't notice that at this moment, a black ball was quietly suspended in the air not far away, and the rain kept falling, quickly streaking across its smooth surface, leaving no trace.
Although Nobita did not find the necklace after climbing down the railing, he tried his best. He really tried his best.
In order to find the necklace in the chaotic jungle, the clothes on his back were cut in several places by some thorny plants, and there were countless cuts all over his body. His arms were almost dislocated, and his feet were really sprained...
He really did everything he could without sparing any effort.
Although Nobita now doesn't know what his state of mind was at that time, he still remembers the scene at that time. He really can't imagine how much courage it took for Nobita at that time to do all this.
After being silent for a long time, Shizuka still didn't speak, but for some reason, her arms suddenly trembled slightly, and the blade on Nobita's neck began to tilt downwards.
At the same time, Dekisugi, who was not far away, finally lost his previous calmness. His face became increasingly ferocious, veins popped up on his forehead, and his two blood-red eyes seemed to be about to pop out in the next second. Horrifying.
However, Nobita didn't seem to notice that the situation was gradually changing at this time. He slowly stretched out his hands, avoiding the trembling blade, and gently and slowly... put the golden necklace back on Shizuka's neck.
However, before Shizuka could react, Nobita suddenly whispered softly in her ear:
"Shizuka, thank you."
