[Black Basket] Star Trail

"Ah, here we come."

Kanzawa Jizheng put down his wine glass.This year, the snow in Tokyo has been particularly heavy, and by the way, the subsequent spring has been postponed. Even in March, we must pay attention to keeping warm.The red-haired young man took off his scarf and hung it on the back of the chair, his eyes were clear and calm, "Sorry, it's a bit late. What can I do for you?"

"What you have to say is very important." Kanzawa Jizheng threw out a half-sentence first, and then knocked on the bar to call the bartender over. "But before talking about things, let's order drinks first."

However, Akashi Seijuro shook his head at the bartender. This posture seemed to be about to talk for a while, and he didn't want to be hangover and practice in his father's company. "There is something important tomorrow."

But the other party obviously didn't understand it this way, "Wait...are you 20 years old?"

"I'm two months younger than you." Akashi sat next to the black-haired young man, "What do you think?"

"Then why don't you drink?" Kanzawa Yuki was about to raise his hand to call the bartender again, but Akashi grabbed his arm.It seems that the other party was already drinking before he came, otherwise it would not be in such a state of not being able to listen to people at all. "Don't tell me the nonsense of 'Kanazawa Norie told me not to drink', you still have decades of time under her control, let's indulge a little bit tonight."

"I came here by car."

"Who cares about you." Kanzawa Jizheng patted his shoulder so hard that Akashi's shoulder ached, "It's not Men'stalk without alcohol."

"So—" In the end, Akashi Seijuro did not give in to the coercion of Kanzawa Norisha. When the bartender came to serve the black-haired young man for the second time, Akashi glanced at the bartender, and the other party looked at him from an imperceptible angle. He raised the word "five". "Don't you think it's a bit too rushed? I'm going to get married next summer or something."

Faced with Kanzawa Jizheng in this state, it seems that the euphemistic rhetoric is useless, and the other party can't digest it before answering, "Do you feel rushed or others feel rushed?"

The young man hiccupped, "...me."

As long as Kanzawa Norie backs down, there is no problem with Akashi Seijuro, and other people's opinions are not important.But since the other party asked him out, it was obviously not a short conversation that could be done in just one or two sentences.

So he asked, "Why?"

"...Do you think it's a problem if you don't rush...?" Kanzawa Jizheng said, "The coming-of-age ceremony was held last year, but the wedding is held this year? To be honest, I'm surprised that you think it's okay."

"So when do you think you can't catch up?"

"At least you have to graduate from college." The black-haired young man took another big sip, and he could smell the alcohol from where Akashi was sitting. If Kanzawa Norie was present, he would probably drag the young man home without saying a word. , but taking it for granted as Akashi alone cannot persuade young people. "Wouldn't such words remind you of something strange?"

Akashi Seijuro has also considered the issue he mentioned, but since Kanzawa Norie doesn't mind it, he has no opinion.The other party has two or three years before graduating from college, and long-distance love is a kind of torment for both of them. "Does it matter what other people think?"

"Even if it's not important..."

Akashi Seijuro looked at him with his chin in his hands, and flicked the ice cubes in the water glass with his fingertips, and the sparkling mineral water was bubbling.The black-haired young man seemed to be intimidated by what he was about to say, but he became sober, and stopped talking halfway through.

On this occasion, it seemed a little easier to talk about Kanzawa Norie.Maybe it's because the other party has the same understanding of Kanzawa Norie as Akashi himself, or maybe it's because they both know that they are the ones who will never hurt her—they have something in common and naturally resonate.

"Actually, you are," Akashi looked at the bar, leaving a step down for the other party, "... reluctant?"

It is only natural to say that Kanzawa Jizheng is reluctant.

Regardless of whether he is more emotional than Kanzawa Norie, the bond between twins alone is beyond the reach of others.Akashi Seijuro also understood this, and never thought about competing with the opponent.

Firstly, there is no need for this, and secondly, Akashi sees too clearly—he has no chance of winning.

Before Akashi appeared, before Kanzawa Jiyu returned to China, all the girls' reliance and playmates were Kanzawa Jizheng, and vice versa.Later, when people came one by one, Kanzawa Norie needed to separate his mind and take away some of the attention that originally belonged to Kanzawa Jizheng.

But what can this mean?

It is impossible for Kanzawa Norie to be with him forever, and one day they both need to get married and live separately, and the black-haired young man also understands this.Otherwise, this conversation wouldn’t have happened in the bar—without the help of alcohol, Kanzawa Jizheng might not have been able to say such words.

That's why he knew that he couldn't help but control the direction of the situation, and he was unwilling to let Akashi win the whole game, so he made this desperate counterattack.The wedding was already in preparation, even Kanazawa Norie, who was held in the palm of Akashi early, didn't say anything, all Kanzawa Norisha could do was complain.

"...I don't know." Under the dim light, the young man, still blushing, tried hard to understand Akashi's words, and finally gave up after a few minutes, leaning on the bar counter so that the cold glass surface stuck to his face.Akashi Seijuro wanted to remind him that this place might have been polluted by the vomit of countless people, but he couldn't say it.It's fine if Kanzawa Jizheng is so drunk that he can admit it frankly, but the problem is that he is obviously drunk, but he still has the last ounce of consciousness to ambiguously speak, so the distance between each other is neither far nor near, which is very difficult to judge.

"Maybe, maybe not."

Then there is nothing else to say, Akashi doesn't plan to spend the night with him here, the red-haired young man picked up his mobile phone, Kanzawa Norie sent a text message in time. "returned home?"

"Not yet." Akashi Seijuro replied, "Drinking with Kanzawa-kun──I didn't drink after he drank."

Almost as soon as he pressed "send", a call from Kanzawa Norie came.There was only light music playing in the bar, so it wasn't very noisy, so Akashi Seijuro immediately picked it up, "Hello?"

"Ji Zheng asked you to drink together?" Kanzawa Norie asked immediately, "How much did he drink?"

Akashi Seijuro answered truthfully, and then asked her a little uncertainly, "...will you vomit if you drink too much?"

"I can't vomit..." The girl's voice seemed hazy due to the jet lag and distance, and Akashi remembered that this was their first phone conversation in a long time——Kanazawa Norie insisted on letting him have a good rest, After a certain period of time, even email correspondence is actively cut off.Thinking about it carefully, I haven't heard her voice for quite a while. "Just talking nonsense, which may offend Ah Zheng... and squatting on the ground hugging his knees and crying for coaxing..."

──Akashi Seijuro couldn't bear to tell her that he had offended her.

"No problem." Akashi didn't intend to care about anything in Kanzawa Norisha's state, "I can handle him. I'll send him back when he's drunk, and won't let him wander the streets."

"That's good." Kanzawa Jihui breathed a sigh of relief, "I can't take care of Ji Zheng when I'm not in China, so I'm going to trouble Ah Zheng. It's not too early..."

Akashi Seijuro glanced at the young man who was still lying on the table, and interrupted her, his voice was soft enough to put a child to sleep, "Have you been sick recently?"

Her laughter came from the other end, as soft as if it sounded directly next to his ear, or as if a feather had brushed his earlobe.Akashi could hear an echo from her voice, the other party probably walked to a place where no one was there.

"No more, Ah Zheng, don't worry." Kanazawa Jihui said, "I take good care of myself, and it's not someone who stayed up so late and was on the phone with me."

"is it?"

"Yes. After I return to China, I must monitor that unconscious person every night. Can Ah Zheng help me ask him if he is ready? It's really annoying for me to nag."

"He said he was ready."

"That's good." Kanzawa Jihui said, the subject changed, and his tone was a bit lonely, "Ah Zheng, don't talk to that person...I miss him a little bit."

Akashi Seijuro leaned back in his chair, "...that person said he was the same."

The car stopped at the front door of the Kanzawa house, Akashi Seijuro unbuckled his seat belt and then half-supported and half-pulled Kanzawa Norisha.The heights of the two were about the same, but Kanazawa Yuki was about to be stronger than Akashi. The position of the red-haired young man was not easy to exert force. Akashi gritted his teeth and pushed open the small gate of the front door.

Kanzawa Yuki is attending university in Tokyo, and has lived here again for a long time more than a year ago.Kanzawa Jiyu's family has no objection to sharing the house. It has been expanded a few years ago, and the space is definitely enough.

After finally pulling the black-haired young man to the front of the steps, Akashi was about to use his strength to lift him up, but he heard Kamizawa Kisho's murmur.A very short sentence.With an illusion that is almost raving, it escapes from the lips and teeth.

Akashi Seijuro almost thought that he was drunk by the other party's alcohol, so he had auditory hallucinations.

"Treat her well."

The red-haired young man looked at the other party, with faint emotions floating in his deep eyes.Even he himself couldn't tell what it was, Shen Zeji was using the three points of drunkenness to spit out seven points of the truth, and at the end of the day, he had already confessed everything without missing anything. "Be nice to me...better than I was to her."

After so many years, Kanzawa Jizheng still broods over his original insensitivity.Akashi never thought that he would choose to say this in this situation.Kanzawa Jizheng continued, "...you know she is in poor health."

Akashi Seijuro replied seriously, "I will."

There was nothing and he didn't need to emphasize his resolution, everything would be expressed in years and the action would convey its meaning.Kanzawa Jizheng got his answer, broke away from Akashi's support, staggered towards the door, and did not forget to raise his hand to say goodbye to Akashi.

The red-haired young man watched him walk in, the lights came on, and cat meows could be heard vaguely. This is the so-called home.He smiled, draped the moonlight on his shoulders and the shadow behind him, and gradually walked away.
