Ize got up early in the morning, put the blood-stained carpet into the washing machine, and started packing his clothes and supplies again.

Tsuruga Lian had gone out before he woke up, and there was still breakfast on the dining table, which was obviously specially prepared for Ize.

Yize pulled the luggage to the door, and turned back to clean up all the medicine boxes and bottles in the drawer.

There was a "crack" and crackling outside the house, as if something fell to the ground and shattered.

Yize went out to have a look, and it turned out that it was Dabai who walked to the dining table following the scent, and saw the breakfast made by Tsuruga Lian.It was in Izzy's house this morning, so no one fed it.Poor Dabai has never been hungry before, he was pampered and decided to fend for himself, no matter how hard he tried for a long time, he couldn't reach the food on the table, so he simply raised his head and bit the tablecloth, dragged all the plates and chopsticks to the ground, and leaned down to eat fried eggs and bacon.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Ize rubbed his forehead, squatted down helplessly, and rubbed Dabai's head, "How do you know to cause trouble for me, you idiot! Forget it, let brother clean it up, anyway, I will bear the grudge." , and don’t care about that, you’re right.”

The moment I stood up, Izzy's face turned pale.He leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, "It looks like I'm going to leave right away, if I stay any longer, I'm really going to die here."

Gently kicking Dabai who came over, he pulled up the suitcase and opened the door, "Leave Dabai, take good care of your brother."

When he got out of the elevator and came to the first floor, Ize took out the buzzing phone and answered it, "Hi... Didn't the lawyer go and talk to you?... No, I'm going on a trip and I don't have time to see you... ...Consider the manuscript fee as my congratulatory gift for you and Takano's marriage...Brother has looked for you? Cough cough, I'm not interested in this, I hung up...It's okay, I have a cold...I know, okay, since you think so I, see you at the old place."

Hire someone to take the luggage away, and Yize takes a taxi to the coffee shop.After entering the door, Ritsu Onodera was already sitting by the window and waiting.

"Tell me, what can I do for you." Ize ordered a matcha red bean toast, the breakfast made by Tsuruga Lian was ruined by Dabai, and he hasn't eaten anything yet.

After not seeing Izawa for a while, Ritsu Onodera was surprised to find that Izawa seemed to have haggarded a lot, and his face was frighteningly pale.Recalling the coughing on the phone just now, I couldn’t help asking: “Your cold is so serious, did you go to the hospital to see it? Did you get an injection? Did you take your medicine on time? The weather has turned cold recently, why are you wearing so little? .It will be even more troublesome if you catch a second cold."

"If you care about me so much, you won't be afraid that Takano will be jealous!" Ize smiled wickedly and said, "Be careful, I will sue you."

Ritsu Onodera's veins bulged outwards, he felt that his caring about this non-human was really looking for abuse.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? You look like an abandoned woman." Ize interjected his toast and asked leisurely, "Did Takano bully you? Kissed you without your consent? Did you have an affair behind your back?" ?”

When talking about the affair, Ritsu Onodera's veins twitched, and Izawa nodded clearly, "It's his fault. He is already in his arms, so how could he go out and provoke wild flowers and weeds? We, Onodera, are so well-behaved and sensible, Not only does he do a lot of work, but he also comforts people, where can he find such a good..."

"Who is a beautiful wife! Who wants him to comfort you!" Ritsu Onodera slapped the table violently, attracting countless eyes.But he didn't notice when he was excited, and he was still retorting, "I don't care about him, doesn't he have Mr. Yokozawa? What am I? I don't need him to be pitiful, and I won't cry with him like a girl , I can still live well on my own.”

Realizing Izawa's meaningful smile, and looking at the various eyes around him, Ritsu Onodera froze suddenly, and lowered his head in embarrassment, "Why didn't you remind me?"

"How do I remind you? I'm a patient now, my voice is not as loud as yours, and I can't talk to you. I have to wait for you to extinguish the fire yourself." Yi Ze said that it had nothing to do with him.

Ritsu Onodera was so angry that he almost went up and grabbed Ize by the neck, and shook him vigorously to see how much bad water was in his mind.

Ize accepted it as soon as he saw it, and naturally changed the subject, "By the way, you said my brother looked for you? What did you say?"

"Oh, it's like this." Ritsu Onodera, who was born with a string, immediately forgot the experience of being teased just now when he mentioned serious things, "Your brother called me a few days ago, after you said you would terminate the contract. You Brother is very strange, how can you talk about such a big matter on the phone, at least we need to meet and talk."

Izzy laughed secretly in his heart, this is of course. "Well, what then?"

"At that time, he told me that you like painting, and you must be joking if you want to terminate the contract. He said that he would persuade you and pay you the compensation for the lack of manuscripts during this period. At that time, I thought You are just kidding, just like what your brother said." Ritsu Onodera took a sip of coffee and continued with his chin resting on one hand, "Later, Editor-in-Chief Takano found out and asked to talk to you, but after talking to your brother on the phone, he I changed my mind again and said it was to give you time to think about it. From the phone, I can hear that your brother is busy, but he really cares about you. I am afraid that you will ruin your dream because of impulsiveness, so I will do everything possible to create opportunities for you. Delaying time." He stopped here and thought for a while, and was a little puzzled, "But his voice is really familiar."

Wasting time on something so trivial?Do you spend energy to please where you can't see it?

Ize lowered his head with his eyes closed, and a sneer rose from the corner of his bloodless lips.

How stupid.

"After you go back, you have to thank your brother well." Onodera Ritsu also envied Izawa.

"There's a chance, I've already moved out of him." Ize bit his fork and said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you, I'm going back to my family abroad to take over my father's business. I'm going to fly this afternoon."

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier? Did your brother send you off? Do you want me to help you?" Ritsu Onodera opened his eyes wide, feeling a sense of reluctance after being surprised.

Eze shook his head, "He didn't agree with me going back, so we broke up before we came out."

"Ah? How?"

"Because in that kind of family, one person must be sacrificed to bear the burden of the family. My brother has his own dream, and I don't want him to give up years of hard work for me." In order to prevent Onodera from notifying Tsuruga Ren to stop him, Ize intends to act more bloody "I know that my brother negotiated with the elders behind my back and made compromises for me. There are indeed some things in the family that can force my brother and me to submit, so I want to use my own way to protect my brother who has been taking care of me.”

"Izawa..." Ritsu Onodera obviously didn't understand the complexity of the matter, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

Ize smiled indifferently, "You must want to say that this kind of matter needs two people to solve it, maybe the effect will be better. Besides, as an elder brother, he should always take care of his younger brother. But... the evidence they have can threaten them again and again. Brother does something he doesn't like, can he bear it every time? For a brother who doesn't like restraint, this is the most painful thing. So only I can solve this matter, brother just needs to watch from the sidelines Enough."

Ritsu Onodera sat there at a loss, his mind was full of thoughts but he didn't know what to say, his face flushed.

"Do you like Takano?"

"Eh?" The sudden interruption made Ritsu Onodera stand there in a daze, before he turned his head awkwardly for a long time, "Who likes him! He and I are just colleagues."

"Colleague relationship? Are you lying to me?" Ize looked at him confidently, raised his eyebrows and smiled slyly, "Is sex among colleagues popular?"

"Ah! You...what are you talking about?! Who... told you!" Onodera stammered, his wide eyes flickered, and there was a suspicious blush on his face.

Eze smiled and nodded his neck, "Here, tell me."

Onodera hurriedly pulled up the collar, muttering in his mouth, "Asshole, I said stop kissing the neck, it happens every time."

"Oh." Ize nodded suddenly, with a smirk on his face, "Every time."

"No! Don't get me wrong!"

After eating the last piece of toast on the plate, Ize stood up on the armchair, and before turning around, said to Ritsu Onodera who was still struggling, "Don't miss Takano."

Hearing this, Onodera Ritsu was slightly taken aback. "Um?"

"It's not easy to have the person you love and give him the love he wants. If you can do it, don't be stingy." Ize's dark golden eyes glowed with a metallic coldness. Glossy, the smile on the corner of the lips is as cold as the moon. "Don't be like me."

Without giving him room to speak, he turned and walked out of the coffee shop.

It wasn't until sitting in the taxi that Ize coughed violently.One sound after another, as if the trachea was pulled and torn, there was an illusion of weeping blood.

"Sir, are you all right?" the driver asked cautiously.

Leaning on the back chair, Ize closed his eyes and waved his hands.

"Seeing that you don't look big, let's go to the hospital with your family. Like that bastard kid in my family, he went out to go crazy when he caught a cold, and then he developed a high fever in the middle of the night. If the child's mother didn't find out in time, I'm afraid it would be bad." The driver said. He was very kind, probably because Ize was about the same age as the son in the family, so he said a few more words, "Young people are in good health, but you have to pay attention. Don't be like us when we are old and have all kinds of diseases."

Izzy nodded, opened his eyes and looked out the window.

"Uncle's son is playful and mischievous, will he be angry with him?"

"Hehe, why not. But what can I do? It's always my own son. I still feel sorry for my son who has been scolded or beaten. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes when you are young. You just need to correct your mistakes in the future. There is no family in the world who would pick a reason and hold grudges."

"Will you forgive me no matter how long it takes?"

"There's no such thing as a long-term problem. As long as you admit your mistake to them and say sorry, no one will care about it anymore, and you will still be good to you. I said, young man, did you make your family unhappy? Go back and talk about it." Say, anything is okay."

"Really?" Ize raised a shallow arc on his lips, and his voice was light and light, "But it's too late."

When Tsuruga Lien returned home, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Standing in the living room, seeing the mess under the dining table, Tsuruga Lian's face was calm.After the silence, he walked over and squatted down, picking up the pieces of dishes on the ground little by little.

Thinking of the boy waking up in the morning and dismissing the breakfast on the dining table, pulling his luggage and leaving without looking back, Tsuruga Lian smiled bitterly.

Inadvertently paying attention to the sharpness of the fragments, a small opening was cut on the long and slender fingers, and blood beads oozing from inside dripped on the ground alone.Tsuruga Lian didn't stop the bleeding, but just stared blankly at the injured finger.

"Wow!" Perhaps it was the bleak figure of Dunhe Lian that made Dabai uneasy, it leaned over to rub against its master's thigh, and patted its thick tail, as if to comfort him.

"You guy." Tsuruga Lian raised her hand to rub Dabai's hair, but because she thought of the boy's smiling expression after being rubbed, she paused and withdrew her hand.His eyes fell on Dabai's body, and he naturally found the hair stained with food oil. "Go, I'll take you to wash it."

After putting the hot water in the bathroom, Tsuruga Lian stretched out her hands to hug Dabai, revealing her light beige-colored belly, and the fur around her was also snow-white.It's just that his eyes moved down - the hair on the right side of his body was dark red the size of a fist, which was very conspicuous under the white hair.

Tsuruga Lian reached out to touch it, her amber eyes shrank suddenly at this moment, it was - blood!

He remembered that Dabai followed Ize into the room yesterday, and he didn't leave until he went out in the morning.After careful inspection of Dabai's whole body, no wounds were found.Then there is only one explanation for this bloodstain - Izzy was injured!

Thinking of this possibility, he turned and ran to Yize's room regardless of Dabai who was still squatting in the bathtub.

The quilt was neatly stacked on the bed, and everything was in order, but the carpet had just been washed.He remembered that the two bought this rug together on Christmas Day, one blue and one beige.Dabai knocked over the dog food on it the day before yesterday, and he deliberately replaced it with the beige one, but today the one on top is blue... Ize must be hiding something from him.

Thinking of Izawa's abnormal expression last night, Tsuruga Ren frowned.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he got up and searched around the room.When he opened the drawer under the bed, his face suddenly turned pale.A large pile of analgesics, placed together in bottles and jars.Picked one up and looked, it was empty.

Silence, suffocating silence.

Tsuruga Lian looked through each medicine box expressionlessly, but her hands kept shaking.

After finally emptying the drawer, he dropped the medicine box and rushed out the door.

Is that why you made up your mind?Ozawa.
