After being picked up by Hong Kong black bosses

After solving the thief incident, Nakahara took Banana to the department store that he had investigated before going out.

The midday sun is fatal, but once you walk into the department store and are blown by the cold air-conditioning wind, the stuffy feeling just now is swept away.

Especially after just moving his hands and feet, Chuya was not in a bad mood.

Although it is a bit of a coincidence that the thief just stole the wallet of the old lady he helped on the side of the road, the matter is still quite reasonable. The old lady is inconvenient to move and carries "heavy objects" in both hands, so the thief will naturally take aim at these Target.

Zhong didn't think much about it, but turned his attention back to Banana.

Yes, in the incident just now, what surprised him the most was that Banana followed him in his direction without his instructions after he caught the thief.

At that time, she also took the initiative to reach out and grab the corner of his clothes, indicating that she had listened to what he said at the beginning.

Seeing Banana running for the first time, and running towards her, Nakahara Chuya was not in a bad mood.

He raised his chin, gave Banana a good-looking and satisfied smile, and led her to his target floor.

……

In one of the best department stores in Yokohama, different types of shops are stationed on different floors according to their categories. Beyond the miscellaneous promotional department stores on the first floor, the second floor is home appliances. There are a variety of product advertisements. The video with excellent picture quality easily attracted Banana's attention.

Zhong Yuan looked back at her, remembering that he also bought a 42-inch LCD TV in his high-end apartment. Even though he left early and returned late, he didn't have the habit of watching TV. He spent his holidays drinking red wine and listening to music. of.

"Banana, do you want to watch TV?"

"...?"

While the elevator was slowly climbing up, Chuya rubbed his chin and asked her curiously, but the girl seemed not clear about the concept of "television". Facing Chuya's question, she just tilted her head slightly.

"Oh, by the way, you don't know what TV is."

"..." Banana listened to him calmly.

"However, why didn't I think of it before..."

Zhong also touched the back of his head, because Banana didn't answer him, he could only talk to himself: "You don't understand anything, I can buy some children's learning CDs and let those videos teach you..."

He found inspiration in the department store, skipped the toy department on the third floor, and quickly arrived at the household goods department on the fourth floor. The crowd here is obviously more than that on the first and second floors, and there are housewives wandering around with shopping bags. Or couples, under the brightly colored store signs are advertising posters posted on the window, and occasionally parents with baby carriages stop in front of the window, chat with their partners, and then leave.

Zhong also silently recited in his mind the list of household items to be bought for Banana that he had compiled before going out. Remembering that she hadn't found a place to sleep, he walked into the bedding store first. Immediately with a smile on his face, he recommended double bed sheets for couples.

"Sir, the double bed is here. Does my girlfriend have a favorite color? Our store just launched a new style last week. If you have special requirements, you can also customize it here..."

The male clerk looked at Banana with a smile on his face while selling household items. It was always easier for a woman than a man to sell household goods. However, Banana looked at this chattering clerk with a blank expression. To her, it was still The pillow sheets in Yidian are more interesting.

Even when she was being sold by the clerk in Zhong, she reached out to poke those soft pillows curiously, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

On the other hand, Shizhong also blushed because of the male clerk's misunderstanding: "I... this guy and I are not lovers! She is my sister! Sister!"

Zhong also denied it a little anxiously, the hair on the tip of his hair was going to curl up when he got nervous.

The male clerk blinked his eyes, thinking how could siblings go shopping with the corners of their clothes pulled together like this?The two of them still don't look alike at all. Is this orange-red haired man in front of him a new type of scumbag?

He shook his head tut-tsk, and sneered a little at the fact that the customer put aside his relationship with the female partner, and his interest in sales was greatly reduced: "The styles of the single bed are all here, I can fetch the catalog and let you choose slowly— —”

"...No, we don't need it anymore!"

Zhong also realized that he had been despised by the clerk for no reason, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and could only take away the pillow that Banana was holding and put it down angrily, and led the people out of the store——

In the end, I shopped around until I found a bedding store that didn't sell or tease customers, and then I bought the pillows and quilts.

……

Afterwards, he took Banana to the home goods store one after another to buy all kinds of sundries and cabinets. He wanted to divide an area in the apartment that belonged to Banana so that she could keep her belongings. Put all her things in and vacate the couch.

This process was not easy, because Banana had no objections to anything, and would answer his questions, and her attention would be easily distracted by other things.

For example, people in a big row outside the shopping mall, receipts dropped on the floor, exit signs, information desks, etc. She paid a lot of attention to things that had nothing to do with the theme of the day, causing him to have to explain a lot of useless things .

"This is a plate, this is also a plate...that's right, this is also a plate!"

"This is a rack for drying utensils after washing dishes... I don't know what it's called."

"This is for wearing leather shoes, put it on the heel of the leg like this, and then pull it up..."

"Is this for potted plants? Wait, stop bringing that over here, I hate mackerel!"

"This is... um, what is this? Why are there so many weird things in Japanese home product stores..."

After talking for so long, his lips were a little dry, so he actually bought a cup of Starbucks rarely. He usually doesn't drink coffee, and wine is his favorite drink.

Walking and walking, he felt his stomach swell after drinking a whole cup, and it was a bit uncomfortable to walk around.

He looked at Banana, although he was a little worried, he still said uncomfortably, "Uh... Banana, I want to go to the bathroom, so you wait here for me and don't go anywhere, is that okay?"

He grasped Banana's arms with both hands, his cobalt blue pupils wrote earnestly, every word was clear, wishing he could drill every word into her mind.

But Banana stood where she was, and nodded seriously when she understood Zhong Ye's meaning of "don't go anywhere".

He also nodded, thinking that he would be back in 5 minutes, so he trotted to the men's bathroom in the mall——

That is, I don't know if it was too unlucky today or what, the flushing system on the side of the urinal was broken, and they had to wait for the pitifully few toilet stalls, which made Zhong Ye even more anxious.

"Is it okay to let her stay outside alone..."

Chuya, who was finally able to release himself, did not forget Banana outside. He inhaled and then exhaled, his throat tightened, and he even had the urge to run back earlier——

……

Banana watched Chuya's figure disappear around the corner, but in fact she still wanted to keep up, but since Chuya asked her to stop here, she could only do so.

She stood up straight and waited quietly in the waiting area outside the bathroom. There are people waiting like her here. Most of them are holding shopping bags or checking their mobile phones. Everyone seems to have something to do while waiting. Only she didn't know where to put her hands.

Banana began to look for places to place her gaze—such as the glowing, marble-like floor of the department store center; the advertisements patchworked with eye-catching fonts and photos, trash cans, and special shapes the chair...

There are the sounds of boots or leather shoes walking on the tiles, some are the sound of the radio printing receipts, and then many mixed voices... Some people are calling friends in the crowd, some mothers are educating their children, some are young people The sound of talking and laughing.

Banana looked at her hand. She had been grabbing Chuya Nakahara's clothes until just now. He explained all this to her in a tone he was not good at. Standing in this huge space now, she felt that the unknown There were too many things, and the pressure in this space almost made her breathless.

It was too cramped here, and she wanted to escape.

She lowered her head and tried to reach out to grab the corner of her clothes—it was obviously the corner of the clothes, but it couldn't bring her any peace of mind.

Suddenly, the black-haired boy who was entrenched on a certain rooftop in the shopping street just now appeared in her mind. His gaze shone towards her like a ruthless spotlight, which made her uneasy.

That uneasiness was like a seed soaked with black air, planted in her heart by the black-haired boy himself, and when something sprouted, she began to feel that the emotion that enveloped her was too familiar, but no matter how much she called out, it was still Still unable to dig out any clues from the blank head.

From the memory, it seems that there is only the red-haired man in her world.

Banana's breathing began to become short, and she felt that she was feeling very contradictory. Although she didn't know the concept of "contradiction", she was indeed experiencing the feeling of being torn—her legs were obviously filled with lead Heavy, but there is a soul inside that is crying out to run.

She couldn't comprehend the strange feeling that the world seemed to separate before her eyes and then come together again.

Until the figure of the orange-red-haired man appeared from that corridor again, he arrived late because there were too many people in the bathroom, and he took a little longer than expected. Banana, the corners of his mouth rose in satisfaction.

He planned to walk in her direction, but unexpectedly, the girl stepped up before him, and reached out to grab the corner of Chuya's clothes. The corners of her mouth opened and closed, trying to imitate the tone in memory, and express the meaning Ambiguous syllables: "in...also..."

She looked up at him, and the pronunciation of "chuya" seemed a bit blunt, after all, she had only heard the title of the man in front of Mori Ogai and Hongye.

But, this is enough.

At a close distance, it is impossible for Zhong to fail to hear Banana's words, and it is even more impossible for him, who is often called "chuya", to fail to recognize the meaning of her slightly out-of-key words.

His blue eyes widened slightly because of surprise, looking straight into the girl's pure eyes, his heart throbbed for no reason.

"Banana...what did you call me just now?"

He looked down at her and felt his heart beating faster and faster. He thought, no one could understand the joy at this moment—and who could understand that he and Banana faced each other day and night for a week, but never heard her say a word? Frustrated?

How frustrated he was at the time and how surprised he was at the moment are almost completely relative.

Not to mention that the first word she tried to say was his name.

Not to mention that anyone forced her to say it, or taught her to say it, even he only introduced himself in front of her once.

He was very pleasantly surprised, but Banana tilted her head, she didn't think about anything when she blurted out his name, she just knew that she wanted to get close to him right now, because she knew that only the existence of this person could soothe her heart Rampant emotions.

Now that she has calmed down and received his instructions, she repeats: "...Chuya."

Her voice was low and hoarse, probably a little unaccustomed to it because she hadn't spoken for a long time.

But Zhong also didn't mind, instead he just laughed stupidly: "Hahaha...You guy, I really have to buy you some pronunciation CDs when I go back, how awkward are you shouting, my name is Zhongyuan Zhongya, you really have to give I remember it!"

"Central Plains...Central..."

She nodded, as if she was really trying to remember his name, his expression and everything in her heart.
