The man rescued from Kabukicho

In the afternoon, the rain started again, and it didn't stop in the evening.

The sky is not gloomy and the garden is beautiful in the rain.

Looking from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the gym, the evergreen vegetation is washed by the rain, and the green becomes more and more transparent.

However, what Cirou looked at was the very old cherry tree occupying the northeast corner. It had entered the winter dormancy period and its branches were bare.

Just now after Cilang worked out, he took a shower in the shower room as usual. Although his hair was dried, Feng Zao's mother-in-law said that she would catch cold easily if she was in a hurry to go out to catch the wind, and the rain hadn't stopped, so it's better to sit for a while longer.

So it became the current situation. Granny Kazezaya was knitting a sweater in an armchair, and Jiro lay on Shuntaro's huge body and looked out the window.

To live so leisurely, Cilang thought in confusion.

Generally speaking, a 30-year-old man should be at work at this point in the afternoon, striving for his career.

He, an ex-convict, was living his life leisurely.

I don't have extravagant hopes for a career. Although I have a "job" now, the content is to serve as a pillow for my junior high school classmates.

He wasn't ungrateful, and he wasn't complaining.

It’s just that in this state of life that is out of the normal track of society, there is no sense of gain or accomplishment, and you can’t find your own value, so the more leisurely you are, the more you feel that you can’t step on the ground and have no bottom in your heart.

However, thinking about work...

After Feng Zao's mother-in-law said those words in the morning, she encouraged Ci Lang to think slowly about what she wanted to do in the future.He said that although he would definitely be limited by night pillow work, the options would be very narrow, but as long as Jiro wanted to do it, whether it needed training or advanced studies, he would get the support of Yijuin.

This, she said, is also what Ijuin means.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Cilang heard these words, he was so ecstatic that his heart almost broke.

He may also find an ordinary job that relies on his ability to make money, and try his best to repay Yijuin for saving his life.

Ordinary work represents the normal track of society and a down-to-earth life. This is what he dreams of now.

I just don't know why, although these words were conveyed by Feng Zao's mother-in-law, Cilang still seemed to hear the voice of Yijiyuan in his mind.

It's not always happy to the point of hallucination.

Jiro drew a picture of a golden retriever dog with its tongue sticking out and making faces in his mind.

By the way, painting... I used to be good at it, but it was only at the level of a junior high school student's hobby. It would be too whimsical to rely on this to make a living.

Cirou looked at the rain scene outside the window.

If you draw the garden in the rain with colored pencils, it must be very beautiful.

Shuntaro moved his paw and let out a whimper.

Cirou stretched his hand back and stroked its big head.

This guy is obedient now, because in the afternoon Fengzao's mother-in-law dismantled it in front of Cilang.

When the housekeeper came to clean in the afternoon, because she had to clean the bedrooms of Ijuin, Kazezao's mother-in-law went up to supervise, leaving Jirou and Shuntaro alone in the living room.

At that time, Jiro was sorting out his notes.Fengzao's mother-in-law taught Cilang a bunch of emergency countermeasures, such as "what to do in an earthquake", so Cilang's mobile phone has the contact information of the assistants, drivers on duty, bodyguard captain, etc. Ben also memorized several pages, and some can only be remembered.

When Jiro noticed, Shuntaro was carefully looking at the apples in the fruit basket with a very charming and longing eyes.

It likes to eat apples, Cirou remembered this.

Realizing that Jiro noticed him, Shuntaro wagged his tail and blinked his eyes twice.

Cilang immediately felt guilty that "it has worked so hard, if it is not given an apple, it seems very pitiful".

However, Cilang didn't know Yijiyuan's feeding rules for it. What if he fed the apple rashly and caused an accident to the dog?

While still hesitating, Fengzao's mother-in-law came downstairs with the housekeeper, and she understood the situation as soon as she entered the living room.

"It's so bold that you even begged for food," Kazezao's mother-in-law reprimanded Shuntaro majesticly, "Do you think this person is easy to deceive? You are too smart! When your master comes back, you will know what a lesson is!"

Shuntaro, who obediently fell to the ground when he saw Mrs. Kazezao, immediately lowered his head when he heard the word "Master", and buried the big dog's head between his front legs, not daring to move.

Granny Feng Zao turned to Ci Lang and said, "Master, don't allow it to beg for food from others. It hasn't had this problem since it grew up. Today, it was because of your soft heart that it tricked you. You don't need to pay attention to it."

Cilang was a mixed bag at the time.

A dog could see that he was deceitful.

So, from then until now, Shuntaro followed Jirou like a dog, as if he thought that he could avoid punishment from his master by pleasing him, completely subverting Cirou's impression of it.

Looking honest and honest, I didn't expect it to be a ghost.

Like now, Shuntaro not only took the initiative to lower his big head for Jirou to touch, but also moved his huge body to expose more of his stomach, so that Cirou could lean on him more comfortably.

In order to escape punishment and be so diligent, Cilang couldn't laugh or cry.

"You, it's useless to please me," Jiro reminded kindly while touching Shuntaro's head, but Shuntaro just arched his hand.

It's a pity that no matter how smart a dog is, it can't understand human words.

Not knowing how Yijuin would punish it, Jirou looked at Shuntaro lovingly, and after realizing how clever it was, he didn't seem to think it was too big to be scary.

Ding, Ding——

Another continuous sound of incoming emails.

Cirou picked up his phone to check.

[Itinerary change [off work time postponed] - under the Ijuin Consortium, Karuizawa [Shiyanqu] high-end hot spring hotel; hold an annual reward banquet on the top floor of PSG Hotel; meet VIPs.It is expected to end in the early morning. 】

It turned out to be an itinerary notice, what about the other one?

It is Ijuin.

[May not come back. 】

Assistant Takeya mentioned before that Yijiyuan might be too busy to come back tonight.Fengzao's mother-in-law also said that it is the normal state of Yijiyuan not to go home at night.

Really hard.

Cirou thought for a while, and replied to Yijuin:

【learn.come on. 】

For dinner, Cilang and Fengzao's mother-in-law cooked spaghetti with tomato meat sauce. When Cilang was still working in the company, he often cooked pasta himself, but the sauces were all convenient products bought in supermarkets. This time, he followed Fengzao's mother-in-law to mince meat Make it from scratch, no fun.

Although the behavior of using high-grade wagyu minced meat to make pasta bolognese made Jiro not know what to say.

Feng Zao's mother-in-law explained that it was because the young master was very picky and hated the smell of meat, so ordinary meat was not acceptable, and the family would not store it.

This is the first time Cilang discovered that Yijiyuan also has the kind of "Master of the Consortium" in urban legends, which reminded him of delicate and famous cats that would not be eaten except for high-end cat food.

Absolutely not to say this association, Cirou reminded himself.

After dinner, Feng Zao's mother-in-law wanted to stay with her, but Ci Lang refused.

"You don't have to worry so much, I can already talk," Cilang tried to prove that he was such a big man that he could be alone, "If there is anything wrong, I will notify the bodyguard."

Fengzao's mother-in-law was still a little worried, but she didn't want to hurt Cilang's self-esteem. After thinking about it, she finally chose to believe in Cirou, and said with a smile: "Then let Shuntaro accompany you. Anyway, you get along well, this guy is still very useful." , just don’t let it trick you into eating apples.”

When Shuntaro heard his name, he barked neatly, as if agreeing.

After sending Granny Fengzao out and walking back to the living room, Cilang clearly felt the fact that he was the only one in the room.

The space is too large, the footsteps can be clearly heard, and the loneliness suddenly comes.

"Huh?" Shuntaro who was walking beside Jirou suddenly raised his head.

Cilang laughed and rubbed its big head: "Do you know how to read minds?"

Shuntaro whined twice, then fell silent, but the sudden sense of loneliness in his heart subsided when he realized that he was by his side.

No problem, Cirou encouraged himself.

He looked in the direction of the stairs, turned around, took Shuntaro back to the living room, and turned on the huge-screen TV that no one seemed to be using.

There are many kinds of coincidences in the world.

The picture broadcast on the screen at this moment is the worst kind.

A typical high-pitched narration that makes it difficult to distinguish whether it is an entertainment program or a news program is explaining the broadcast video: "Politician Makoto Kishio recently announced his candidacy for the governor of Tokyo. The huge publicity is enough to illustrate his ambition. He is nicknamed "Cunning Fox", and his rise in the political arena is very strong! He is surrounded by the famous "witch" Mirei Kasuga, who has successfully seduced elite and beautiful men, and willingly signed a huge loan of 6000 million yen for her She is a witch idol admired by many women! To be able to conquer such a witch, Makoto Kishio is quite charming. According to the survey, he is the NO.1 political figure favored by housewives in the Tokyo area..."

Ex-girlfriend, Mirei Kasuga.

The 'witch' on screen, heavily made up, jewelry, fur coat, he didn't actually recognize her until the narrator introduced her.

Ci Lang originally thought that even if he met again, he would treat her as a stranger, as if he had never met her before.

But the moment the narrator said her name, Ci Lang realized that he hated her.

How can you not hate it?She ruined his life and what he wanted most - a home that belonged to him and his lover.

Cilang even hated himself who had loved her.

The two of them are college classmates, but they have different circles of friends, so there has been no intersection.

In her third year of junior high school, Cilang went to a junior high school reunion, and she happened to be meeting with her friends at the same izakaya.Before the show ended, she seemed to have drunk too much and suddenly came over to say hello.

She was not the 'witch' that day on the screen.

She was wearing a men's shirt. This oversized style usually creates a cute and pitiful atmosphere for Japanese girls, but she relies on her tall figure and takes a neutral route. She is heroic and sexy, and she has a distinctive and strong aura.

Obviously she hadn't spoken much before, but she naturally used imperative sentences to Cirou, "I want to sit here" and "Bring me the hot towel".

A beauty like her, and her attitude towards Cilang, naturally caused Cilang's junior high school classmates to start booing vigorously.

Cilang is not very good at embarrassing a girl on such an occasion, so he cooperates to serve her.

At the last farewell, she walked up to Cilang and asked sadly, "Aren't we going to see each other again?"

In fact, this question is completely unreasonable. They are college classmates, and they will meet each other in class, but at that time Cilang didn't know what happened, maybe he was moved and he didn't know, so he replied abruptly: "Don't go."

So she hugged it.

At a loss, Cilang heard a lot of whistles and booing. A boy who was very familiar with junior high school, who was drunk because of a broken relationship that day, came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a mournful face: "That's great, you boy! I'm so jealous! Young master Yijiin has a career, you have beautiful women, you are so kind, woo woo, why did Kana break up with me, I love you, Kana! woo woo, I want to marry you back home, Kana!! Come back and form a family with me, Kana! !"

It may be the crying of the broken-hearted boy and the soft hug that made Cilang realize his long-standing longing for loneliness.

He wants to be hugged.

He wants a family.

But he has never found the person who "would like to form a family with her". He doesn't even know what type he likes. There are so many girls who confess to him, and there are all kinds of types, but he always feels that something is wrong.

Maybe don't be so stubborn anymore, like other people, go out and try dating to know if it's suitable.

Therefore, he rejected many girls, but he did not reject Mirei Kasuga's pursuit... In the end, he fell into the tragic situation of being cheated, imprisoned, and dragged to Kabukicho by a loan company.

Cilang turned off the TV and went upstairs, but the Japanese-style corridor reminded him of unbearable memories. When he came to the bedroom door, he took a deep breath, then pushed the door open and entered.

The light imitating the natural light source is turned on, softly hitting the tatami-colored wooden floor. On the wall on the right hand side, the operation panel is decorated with a log frame, and hemp rope is thinly tied at the intersection of the logs.

tatami.hemp rope.The old man's rough hands.Can't move.

!

Shuntaro vigilantly called out to the frozen person with a barking voice.

Exiting the bedroom, Cilang realized that he was covered in sweat, he just walked into this Japanese-style bedroom alone, and within three steps, he became like this.How ridiculous.

……

Cirou tried his best to calm down, bent down and touched the concerned Shuntaro, and forced himself to smile: "We, let's go downstairs, please accompany me."

Shuntaro hummed meekly.

Accompanied by Shuntaro, he walked down the stairs step by step, knowing very clearly in his heart that he seemed to be walking down, but in fact he was fleeing.

Rationally, he understands that recovery will take time, but emotionally, Cilang can't express his disappointment with himself in words.

However, when he leaned against Shuntaro, with his shoulders pressed against the warm and thick body of the giant dog, he felt much better again.

This could be considered a kind of hug, Cirou thought.

Suddenly, he wanted to secretly feed Shuntaro an apple.

But he held back.

There was no one else around, Cirou indulged himself a bit, hugged the giant dog childishly, and rubbed its big head with his chin.

At three o'clock in the morning, when Ijuin and Kazumi returned home, what they saw was Mochizuki Jirou sleeping on the carpet with the dog.

Bullshit.

Because of the abnormal heat in his body, Ijuin frowned tightly, pressed his temple uncomfortably, and impatiently tore off his tie and threw it on the ground, but these didn't make him ignore Shuntaro's attempt to get up, and made a stay gesture to the giant dog instruction.

Shuntaro went back on the knees according to the order, but Mochizuki Jirou didn't wake up.

Yijuin went upstairs to the bathroom, turned the thermostat to the coldest end, and turned on the shower.

Cold water poured down.
