In a blink of an eye, deep winter is coming.

It snowed in Yokohama, not too much, not to the extent of snow accumulation.

White and crystal-clear snowflakes fluttered down from the leaden sky, falling on the boy's soft black hair and hanging on the thick and long eyelashes.

He held a bouquet of bright red roses in his arms, and the smoky colors made that little face whiter.

Joe Hagizawa stood motionless at the gate of Yokohama National University holding the bouquet of roses.If it wasn't for his occasional blinking, white mist would come out when he breathed, really like an ice sculpture.

Most of the passers-by at the gate of the school are students and staff of the school. When they saw the boy holding a rose, they couldn't help casting curious glances.

In fact, Joe Hagizawa had been waiting at the door for almost an hour, but the customer who was supposed to show up according to the agreement did not show up for a long time.He didn't have a communication tool on him, so he couldn't get in touch with the store manager, so he had to stand here stupidly and wait.

After standing for a long time and the weather was cold, he felt that he was almost frozen into an ice sculpture.

His right leg and knee ached from the cold, he couldn't help stamping his feet, trying to relieve the discomfort in his legs in this way, but the effect was not that good.

Hagizawa began to think about whether he should buy himself a pair of knee pads and leg pads...

Thinking about it, his thoughts drifted farther and farther like snowflakes riding the wind.

In fact, his winter has been much better than the years in the slums. He has clean and warm clothes to wear, an airtight house to live in, and a charcoal stove to keep warm... But there is a small problem in his right leg.

If he hadn't hesitated half a year ago, instead of finding a way to "coincidence" with Zhongyuan Zhongye, but directly arranged an accident and he picked up the sheep, wouldn't the broken leg not have happened?

But that's just thinking about it.

The father can abandon the parent and child on a whim, and the mother inflicts violence on the parent and child at will. Hagizawa is not saying that he is complaining, but it can be seen that relatives who are connected by blood are not trustworthy. Can strangers who have nothing to do with each other be credulous? ?

If he was given another chance, he would probably still make the same choice as himself at the time.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from my ear.

"What do you think?"

Hagizawa asked subconsciously: "Why didn't I know Chuya sooner... Huh?"

A shadow suddenly fell over his head.

Hagizawa raised his head a little bluntly, and his eyes were covered by a fluffy thing.

what is this?

"Tsk, why did you suddenly raise your head?"

Eh?this is not……

"Brother Zhongye?"

The thing covering the line of sight was removed, and a familiar glove appeared in the corner of Hagisawa Joe's vision.

Hagizawa subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look at him, but Chuya Nakahara held his head, "Don't move."

"Oh..." Hagizawa asked obediently, his eyes fell on the rose in his arms, but he couldn't focus for a long time.

Then he felt that there was a fluffy hat on his head, and the top could still feel the drape. It should be the kind of woolen hat with pompoms.

After putting on his hat, Zhong Yuanzhong took a step back and looked him up and down.

Hagizawa asked him to look up at him immediately, shaking his head, and the pompom on the hat also swayed back and forth.

"Does it look good?"

Zhong Yuan put his hands on his chest, resisted the urge to roll his eyes at him, and said angrily: "I bought it, of course it looks good."

"Thank you Nakaya~" Hagizawa made "Hehe" laugh a little silly.

Apparently, Zhongyuan Zhong also thinks so.

"Stupid."

Before, he stood alone at the school gate like a fool, but now there is another person beside him. The boy who looked like an ice sculpture seemed to come to life in an instant, and his eyes became much brighter.

"Why is brother Zhongye here?"

"The last batch of couriers were delivered here today. I saw you from a distance and stood here like an idiot for a long time. Anyway, the work is over, so come and have a look."

Zhong Yuanzhong also leaned against the wall, finished speaking in a calm tone, and specially emphasized: "It's just a coincidence."

Joe Hagizawa blinked his eyes and blurted out: "I bought the hat by chance?"

"Cough!" Zhong Yuanzhong almost choked on his own saliva. "Ah! What's wrong? No way?!"

"That's not..." Hagizawa, who was worried that if he continued to ask, he would annoy people, obediently ended the topic.

Zhong Yuanzhong also snorted angrily.

Why is this kid sometimes so stupid, but sometimes so perceptive?I don't know if it's a coincidence or on purpose... Tsk!Little brats are hard to deal with!

Changing the subject, the two of them were chatting nonchalantly, when suddenly a sound of hurried footsteps came from their ears.

Hagizawa looked back, and the boy who hurriedly ran towards him looked in his 20s, with short flaxen hair, a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a light red mole on his mouth. The key feature, Joe Hagizawa recognized him immediately—it was Mr. Kawata who hurried to the store to place an order at noon today, and left a note asking them to deliver the flowers to the gate of Yokohama National University at [-] pm.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Kawada."

"Sorry, sorry!" Mr. Kawata took the rose in Hagizawa Joe's hand, panting heavily, "Suddenly there is something urgent in the laboratory. I have been busy until now, and I have forgotten the time. You must have been waiting for a long time, right?"

"It's okay, please don't worry about it." Hagizawa smiled at him and handed out the flowers in his hand, "I wish you all the best and a successful confession."

Running all the way, Mr. Kawata's cheeks were already stained red due to strenuous exercise, but now it was even redder all the way to the base of his neck, and he stammered: "Ah, ah...thank you!"

After saying goodbye to Mr. Kawada, Hagizawa Joe and Nakahara Naka walked on the way back.

Days are short and nights long in winter.Although it was not yet six o'clock, the sky was already dark.The street lamps on the sidewalk had already been turned on, and the fluttering snowflakes could be seen more clearly under the dim light.

"It gets dark early in winter, so don't take jobs so far away in the future." Nakahara Nakaya said, "It's not like you don't know how many dirty things are hidden in Yokohama at night."

Hagizawa nodded obediently, "This time it was an accident, I promise I won't do it next time." He didn't expect that the guest would be more than an hour late this time.

Zhongyuan Zhong also naturally knew that he was not at fault for this matter, but he couldn't hold back from exhorting him.

As he was walking, Nakahara Chuya suddenly raised his hand, and rubbed Hagizawa Joe's head in a mess, then his arm suddenly hung on his thin shoulders, almost making him stumble and unable to stand still.

Zhongyuan Zhong also laughed, and swiped his other arm forward, "Come on, let's eat ramen! I'm treating you today!"

Hagizawa helped his crooked hat, nodded vigorously, and the pompom on his head shook, "Mmm! I want tonkotsu ramen with char siu! Add double char siu and fried shrimp!"

"Okay! Let's compete to see who eats more!"

"I won't be polite to Brother Zhongye! Let the horse go!"

"Joke! I'm still afraid that you will fail, a little brat?!"

Speaking of this, Hagizawa was unconvinced, and stretched out his hands and gestured with three fingers: "Brother Chuya is three years older than me!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also sneered disdainfully, "One month is a year, let alone three years!"

"..."

"Hey, are you still not convinced?" Zhong Yuanzhong also poked a certain child's puffed up side face like a puffer fish, and smiled maliciously. "If you are not convinced, you have to hold back!"

"What's wrong with being older than me? I will definitely be taller than Brother Zhongye in the future!"

"Hey." Zhong Yuan raised his eyebrows, "If you are ambitious, go back and drink more milk and grow taller!" As he said, he put his hand on the head of Hagizawa, who was not as tall as him with a pompom. After gesturing, the meaning of ridicule was beyond words.

Hagizawa narrowed his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Let's see!"

On a cold winter night with light snow, just sitting in the store and eating a bowl of steaming ramen can quickly warm up the body and mind.

There are quite a few people who hold this idea, so the lively scene in the ramen shop can also be imagined.

Looking at the ramen shop full of customers, Hagizawa couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many people..."

"Yeah." Zhongyuan Zhong also nodded, looking around for an empty seat.If there is no place, they will either have to change stores or have to wait in the waiting area for a while.

But the luck of the two of them was better. At this time, there happened to be a table of guests who got up and left after eating. Nakahara also saw it, and without thinking too much, he grabbed Hagizawa Joe's wrist and walked towards the empty table.

"This way."

"Oh..." Hagizawa glanced at his hand with a somewhat inexplicable look on his face, but it was only for a moment.

The two sat down at the table facing each other.

"welcome!"

The clerk cleaned up the dishes and wiped the table neatly, and pointed them to the place where the menu was hung.In a traditional Japanese ramen shop like this, the menu is basically written on a strip of paper with a brush and pasted on the cabinet above the bar and on the wall behind it.Therefore, when ordering, we often see the eyes of customers swinging back and forth.

"Call me if you decide." After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry with the tray in his hand.

"I'm so busy." Hagizawa let his hands rest on his chin on the table, his legs were dangling in mid-air, finally showing a little naughty look like an ordinary child.

"Because there are a lot of customers." Nakahara looked up at the menu, "Pork bone char siu ramen, double char siu and fried shrimp... Ah, yes. Do you want to order anything else besides these?"

Hagizawa shook his head subconsciously, but Chuya Nakahara was focusing on the menu at the moment, and obviously couldn't see his movements, so he said again: "No, I can't finish eating too much Just go to waste."

Zhong Yuanzhong also cast a glance at him, "Who was the one who boasted that he was going to eat up my wallet before?"

Hagizawa stuck out his tongue: "Hey..."

"I know how to giggle all day long." Zhong Yuan Zhong also rested his chin with one hand, and sighed with half-lidded eyes. He looked very much like a patriarch who saw the incompetent junior.

Hagizawa straightened his back and retorted solemnly: "I'm not stupid."

Zhong Yuanzhong also responded casually: "Yes, you are not stupid." The tone sounded quite perfunctory.

Hagizawa let his face puff up, then curled up and lay back on the table, thinking: You don't believe this.

After eating a bowl of hot ramen, Hagizawa felt that the chill that had been blown by the cold wind for an hour was completely dispelled.

Putting down the bowl with a "boom", the boy who drank all the noodle soup burped contentedly, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally he came back to life!"

Zhong Yuan, who finished eating before him, was just looking at him with his chin in his hand. After hearing this, he stretched out a hand and patted his forehead, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when the two walked out of the ramen shop.

It's been a long time since I saw the street scene of Yokohama at night. For the first time, Hagizawa didn't grab the hem of his brother Nakaya's clothes, and walked ahead like a rabbit.Nakahara Zhongya followed behind leisurely with his hands in his pockets, watching the pompom on the hat of the man in front swaying up and down rhythmically with his movements. Still pretty cute.

After walking for a while, the guy in front jumped up and down happily, and then he turned around and waved at him as if thinking of something, "Brother Zhongye walked so slowly—"

Nakahara Chuya: "..." The premise of being really cute is to keep that mouth shut.

The journey was safe and sound, and they returned to Leibo Street sheep's stronghold smoothly.

The houses where the two lived were not in the same place, so Nakahara sent Hagizawa back to the house first.

"I'm here, thank you Brother Zhongye for your hospitality today~"

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't care too much and let out a "hmm".

Hagizawa said goodnight to him, and turned around to open the door to enter the house, but at this moment he heard a voice behind him——

"Happy birthday."

The hand on the doorknob froze, and the next second Hagizawa Joe turned around quickly, but Nakahara, who was supposed to be standing behind him, was nowhere to be seen!

What kind of a hero is he who sneaks away with supernatural powers!

The Mimi was so touched that surged up from the bottom of my heart, and it slid away instantly like a balloon being poked by a needle.

Hagizawa Joe's cheeks puffed up angrily.

Wait for him!Do you think he can't stop you?

After hearing the sound of Hagizawa asking to open the door and then close it, Nakahara Nakaka, who was sitting on the roof, finally couldn't help covering his face, moaning in pain, the cold wind couldn't blow him away Warmth on the ears.

"Woo...so embarrassing..." Why on earth did he hide on the roof? !Is it embarrassing to say a birthday congratulations? !

...But it's really embarrassing! ! !

Thinking about the blocking scene that may appear tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow... Zhongyuan Zhong also made a decisive decision!

...It's better to hide from this kid for a few days until he forgets about it, and then show up as if nothing had happened!
