Has Mr. Zhongya changed back today?

Zhong Yuan has also been a little irritable recently.

It stands to reason that after he and Nishino Mizuho switch back, everything should return to normal.But even if he deliberately didn't pay attention, her news would still reach his ears intentionally or unintentionally.

He walked out of the apartment and waited by the car for his driver to watch the video of "Sixteen Nights' new book coming soon";

He was in the office, and when his subordinates handed him the report, there was a "Flyer for the Sixteen Nights New Book Conference" mixed in it;

Even when he went to report to the chief's office, the chief was watching news about her.

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

Is this reasonable?

"Chuya-kun, you are here." Mori Ogai received his report, put his phone aside, browsed the contents of the report, and asked casually, "Do you need to ask for leave recently? After all, our organization also It's not a black heart factory."

Central Plains Chuya:?

Port Mafia deserves to say that?

Zhong Yuanzhong, who was either at work or on business trips throughout the year, was also silent for a moment: "Back to the leader, no. Is there any mistake in my work?"

"Mr. Zhongye is as efficient as ever at work, but in the previous few operations, in addition to completing the goals in the battle plan, you also destroyed the enemy's stronghold and surrounding buildings. The financial department has some complaints." Sen Ougai's tone was subtle and authentic.

"..."

In the end, Mori Ogai forced him to grant him a week's vacation.

Zhongyuan Zhong also watched the leader put his elbows on the table, interlocking his fingers, and smiled like an uneasy fox.He suspected that the leader had already seen through the exchange between him and Mizuho Nishino. The corners of his mouth twitched. Out of self-esteem, he didn't dare to ask. He could only nod in response as if nothing had happened, and walked out with an expressionless face. office.

Inexplicably getting a few days off, he was still a little dazed and didn't know what to do.

In the past, he would choose to go to foreign wineries for vacation, or go to antique auctions, but he is not in the mood now.

It so happened that after get off work, Mr. Guangjin called to make an appointment for a wine bureau. He asked for the address and went straight over.

……

Night, old world pub.

Several members of Mafia competed around the pool table with cue sticks. Nakahara sat on the high stool in front of the bar with his hands covered with wine glasses, his blue eyes indifferently reflecting the dazzling light and shadow of neon tubes, and the unpredictable The colorful smoke, the contrast seems to lack interest.

"Mr. Nakaya, why don't you try it?"

Guangjin Liulang had just finished a game, and when he returned to the bar, he took a glass of whiskey with ice cubes from the bartender.Guangjin Liulang is also an old man of the organization. He has worked for Mafia since his ancestors. He is over fifty years old, and his body is still tall and straight. He is a bit tougher than many younger generations of the organization. He still works in the martial arts faction.

"No, I'm not interested today." Zhong Yuanzhong also took a sip of his wine and declined.

Guangjin Liulang said gently: "Indeed, for Mr. Chuya, this kind of game is not difficult. You can easily do things that most people can't do."

Zhongyuan Zhong also frowned when he heard the words: "I didn't mean that..."

"I understand Mr. Chuya's humility, but everyone in the organization admires you very much. It's just that you were dumped by a woman, so don't worry about such trivial things." Hirotsu Liulang encouraged.

"..."

He said why Mr. Guangjin had something to say.

"You think too much, I was not dumped." Zhong Yuan also propped his forehead and said helplessly.

But Hirotsu Liulang seemed to think that he was being stubborn. The old man took out his mobile phone and asked thoughtfully: "Recently, the media has said that the protagonist of Ms. Nishino's debut novel "Winter Sleep" is based on a star named Kise Ryota. No The heroine Sakurako who can love loves finally falls in love with the heroine and dies for it, which implies a deep color."

"Ah, they used to be classmates."

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought about it and knew about it.In my impression, Nishino denied this claim, saying that the characters in her story had no prototypes.

Guangjin Liulang glanced at him: "Yes, they seem to be members of a club when they were in middle school, and there are many photos on the Internet."

"Mr. Hirotsu, Mr. Nakaya, what are you talking about?" A subordinate in a black suit next to him just changed out, put the club next to the seat, and poked his head curiously.

"Isn't this Ms. Nishino? I remember that the basketball club of Teiko Middle School is very famous. My cousin is also from that school. He keeps whispering in my ear every day, saying that it is a famous school that has won a national competition."

"Isn't it this year? Miss Nishino was actually the manager of the second team at that time. This photo is so cute."

Others also came over with interest.

"'The Age of Miracles Three in a Row'... so strong! Aren’t these middle school students really supernatural beings? 'The Basketball Disappearing on the Field’ isn’t an illusion, right?"

"And these people are so handsome, don't they have to look at their faces when recruiting people?"

……

His subordinates flocked to him, and Zhong Yuanzhong was also pushed aside. He glanced at the mobile phone among the crowd, and said he was lying if he was not curious.

He tried his best to ignore the movement next to him, picked up his glass, and prepared to drink in another place.

"This kid is Miss Nishino's rumored boyfriend in middle school, Shogo Huizaki... On the court, he was in the same position as Kise-kun. At that time, many magazines also compared the two people's styles of play. It seems that the relationship between the two is not good. rumor."

"In comparison, Kise-kun is more handsome, and he is still a graphic model. Of the two, I will stand Kise-kun."

He hadn't heard her say such a thing at all!

Chuya Zhongya's footsteps were fixed in place, and he was in a complicated mood.Seeing that everyone even started to gamble, he clenched his fist to his lips and "coughed" as a reminder.

...and no one heard it.

Guangjin Liulang noticed that he took back the phone, and Zhongyuan Zhong also knocked on the table with his backhand.

The crisp sound of the wood finally caught the attention of others.

He put the wine glass on the bar, and picked up the cue that his subordinates had just placed next to the seat.

"Come here, play two games with me." He raised his eyebrows and smiled, ordered as if nothing had happened, then turned and walked towards the pool table.

Others: ...It's over, I forgot that the cadres are here too.

A competitive sport like billiards was unsurprisingly played by Zhong Yuan as a solo show.He played a few rounds of crushing to vent a bit, and when he returned to the bar, Guangjin Liulang ran to the bartender's place at some point and handed him a glass of freshly mixed wine.

Leaning his back against the bar, he hesitated, took out his phone, opened the search page, wanted to search for the news they were talking about just now, and closed the screen again.

At this time, Guangjin Liulang, who was standing behind the bar and wiping his glass, suddenly asked, "Is the press conference for Miss Nishino's new book tomorrow?"

Nakahara Zhong, who was in a fugue, also subconsciously responded. He came back to his senses, looked back at Mr. Guangjin, and said indifferently: "Your ideas are too obvious."

"Isn't it Mr. Nakaya who still can't let Miss Nishino go?" Hirotsu Liulang arranged the freshly wiped glass properly, and the eyes behind the monocle were far-reaching after years of precipitation.

"She deserves a safer life." Nakahara said calmly, raising his glass.

"Excuse me, did Mr. Nakaya ask Ms. Nishino what she meant?" Hirotsu Yanagi looked at him.

Zhong Yuan was also silent when he heard the words, her overly fiery eyes and words always made him unable to face it calmly.

Thinking of this made him feel a little headache, since when did he become timid?

Having said that, even though he doesn't drink very well, isn't his drink a bit stronger today?

Or is it that he hasn't drunk for a long time, and his drinking capacity has become worse?After all, Nishino's body has stomach problems, and he forbids her to use his body to drink.

"In my opinion, Ms. Nishino is very smart, and she is not someone who will casually get herself into danger. Besides, this is Yokohama, even if you stay away from her, it may not be able to guarantee her safety."

Guangjin Liulang saw that Zhongyuan Zhongye was distracted with his mobile phone, so he filled him with wine again.

"Then choose a few good players to protect her secretly." He said thoughtfully.

Guangjin Liulang nodded: "Mr. Chuya already has a suitable candidate?"

"..."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also lost in thought.

"Need the help of the black lizard?"

Guangjin Liulang made an appropriate proposal.

Zhong Yuanzhong also vetoed it: "The black lizard is good at suppressing firepower, but not capable of individual combat."

"Where's the guerrillas?"

"Akutagawa's subordinates? Do you think he can protect people?" Zhongyuan Zhong also asked casually, and concluded, "Although there are a few supernatural beings in the troops directly under the five major cadres, there is no need to think about A and the basement. Sister Hongye's subordinates are all from the torture unit, so it's easy to scare her, and I don't have any suitable candidates here."

For the first time he found Port Mafia understaffed to this extent.

Guangjin Liulang proposed at the right time: "I think there is another person who is strong enough and will do his best to protect Miss Nishino, who is qualified for this job."

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at him suspiciously.

"The gravity user of Mafia at the port." Guangjin Liulang replied.

……

Zhongyuan Zhong also broke up after drinking too much. When he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. He picked up his mobile phone and checked the time. The new book conference of Shizaiye would be over in 10 minutes. He "tsk" With a loud voice, he grabbed his coat and hurriedly left the tavern.

The press conference of the new book "Spring Return" was held in the same theater as the film conference of her series "Hibernation".Zhong Yuanzhong also came here once, but was still forced to attend for her.

The theater was already over when he arrived. He drank too much wine last night and had a migraine due to the wind. He thought she had left early, and when he rested with his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall of the side door, he heard her voice.

"Mr. Chuya."

Her voice was soft and soft, like notes hitting cotton candy.

He raised his eyes, the sun was setting, she was standing under the eaves where the light and shadows intersected, her body was also covered with sun-melted fragments, she was wearing a small black dress that just reached her knees, her long light brown curly hair was decorated with bright rubies on the side Hairpin, emerald green eyes like a lake in the forest, clear and bright.

——Why are you here?

Zhong Yuan Zhong also wanted to ask, but when the words came to his lips, he blurted out: "You are still there."

"While waiting, sir." She said with a smile.

He smiled, stood up straight and asked her, "How did you know I was coming?"

Mizuho Nishino replied: "Because you called me more than 20 times last night."

Central Plains Chuya:? ? ?

He didn't have time to look at his phone after waking up. He just took out his phone and looked through the call records. What she said was actually true.

What did he do after drinking too much last night...

"So I last night..." He had just started, but suddenly he didn't want to face the reality, so he retracted the words.

Mizuho Nishino obediently waited for him to continue.

He took a deep breath, decided to temporarily ignore this matter, and get back to the topic.

"Nishino, I seem to owe you a trip to the amusement park, do you want to go together?"

She thought about it, and indeed, after watching the movie last time, she had made an appointment to go to the amusement park together, but Mr. Nakaya was distracted by Mr. Osamu Dazai, and she met Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's white mist again, so things were delayed.

"Okay."

She frowned in response.
