This is a nurturing essay

The dust has settled.

Dazai sat on the bench, leisurely looking at the street scene of Yokohama in early winter.

His wanted list has been removed, and everything has turned into a conspiracy of "Five Decays of Heaven and Man".Ivan died, and the bewildered Sigma was taken away by Kunikida. Nakahara also stabbed Dazai a few words and left with Ivan's body.

Dazai rejected the invitations of Kunikida and Nakahara Chuya (Dazai follow me back to deal with the follow-up work / What, do you want to go back to the dungeon? Bastard Dazai) and wandered alone in the streets.

Eventually he found a square and sat down on a bench at the edge.This is where Atsushi Nakajima met Lu Yu when he was at a loss.

There are still many tourists in the square. Parents lead their children to and fro, happy or sad, laughing and arguing, as if they are in another world with him.

Dai Dazai watched the noisy world quietly with soft eyes, and his warm-colored eyes seemed to have light.

There was a thin snow in the sky.The children shouted with joy, Dongfeng probably understood, and the joy rolled faster, bringing more snowflakes.

The snowflakes fell on the ground and melted quickly, wet the ground.Soon, there was a thin layer of white in every corner.

The wind is still blowing and it's a little cold.

Dazai didn't move.Snowflakes melted on his hair and eyelashes, and the cold wind blew on his cheeks, bringing out a touch of red.The young man raised his head, looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and closed his eyes with an illusory smile.

Suddenly, the cold wind stopped.

The soft braid wrapped around his neck and covered his cheeks, carrying the warmth of the human body and dispelling the cold.The somewhat stiff skin blown by the wind thawed quickly, and a numbness spread along the surface inwards.

Dazai opened his eyes, into a pair of kite eyes with a gentle smile.

A man in a black trench coat and carrying a handbag was leaning over to look at him.He has slightly long black curly hair and sharp facial features, but he is neutralized by unspeakable gentleness.Around his neck was a huge cashmere gray-blue checked scarf, which was wrapped around his neck a few times and then wrapped around Dazai's body, it was the thing that just dispelled his cold.

Dazai and him stared at each other for a few seconds, showing crooked smiling eyes.

The image that had been drawn and profiled many times in my mind was blurred for a moment, and it was instantly frozen into the appearance of the person in front of me.

It's him--

All details are clarified, all impressions are implemented.The mysterious shadow walked into the sunlight, and the blurred facial features broke through the maze and fell into the lonely sea.

"I'm Dazai, Dazai Osamu." Dazai said suddenly.

"I'm Lu Yu, from June Yu." Lu Yu smiled, "It's the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

"Hmm...please give me some advice." Dazai slowly sat up straight.

He was suddenly a little tired of probing and covering up.So he didn't say anything else, just quietly watched Lu Yu busy.

Lu Yu put the not-so-small handbag on the bench, took out a stack of baby warmers from inside, unwrapped it skillfully, tore off the seal, pulled off Dazai's handsome unbuttoned windbreaker and pasted it three or four times. .

Then fasten the buttons carefully.

Dazai: ...

He looked at the man with his head hanging in front of him with a complicated expression. The slightly curly front hair of the man slipped and fell from behind the ears, covering up his expression.But Dazai easily imagined his appearance at this moment——

Frowning slightly, with a worried look on his face, he must still be nagging in his heart that he doesn't wear enough clothes.

In the end, Dazai still didn't say anything, sighed slightly, and allowed the other party to act.

After putting on the warm baby, Lu Yu took out a white fluffy hat with ear protectors from the bag, and put it on Dazai's head.

After tidying up his hat with Dazai's eyes on him, he took out a pair of woolen gloves and stretched out his hand to Dazai——

Dazai slowly took his hands out of his pockets.Leaving the warm environment in the pocket, he just started to feel cold when he was supported by a pair of warm hands and put on the gloves smoothly.

Before it was over, he took out two more drinks from the bag: "Hot cocoa, strawberry bubble tea, which one do you want?"

Without waiting for Dazai's answer, Lu Yu stuffed him with two drinks and took out the last thing from the bag.

A box of fried chicken.

"Sweets and fried foods can bring happiness. Do you eat sweet and spicy food?" He put the bag at his feet, sat beside Dazai, opened the fried chicken, and inserted a few bamboo skewers.

The aromas of fried chicken, milk tea, and chocolate are intertwined, evoking human's instinctive pursuit of calories.

Finally Dazai replied, "Eat."

The small audio-visual shop behind him released soothing English folk songs, and male and female voices sang a story with the sound of the guitar.

Dazai and Lu Yu sat in the snow and shared the fried chicken and two cups of hot drinks.

Dazai was in charge of eating and drinking, and Lu Yu looked at him with his cheeks propped up and a smile on his face.

Occasionally, pedestrians passing by with umbrellas looked at them for a while and then left on their own.

They don't step into the noise, and the noise doesn't bother them.In this huge city, at least there should be such a corner that belongs to them and belongs to tranquility.

"Are you leaving?" Dazai finished his last sip of strawberry milk tea, narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, and finally said the third sentence of the day.

"Hmm." Lu Yu answered softly holding the cup of hot cocoa that was discarded after a few sips.

"The next step is to put the 'book' back, right?"

"Well, put each page into the corresponding page world, so as to protect all the worlds in the book from being easily replaced." Lu Yu still replied calmly.

"That's it." Dazai lowered his eyes, "Then I wish you prosperity in martial arts."

"That's it?" Lu Yu raised his eyebrows.

"I won't go back with you." Dazai moved aside, showing a slightly disgusted expression, "You are obsessed with Dazai, aren't you a pervert?"

Lu Yu laughed: "Thank you for your evaluation. By the way, I have heard this word countless times from Xiao Zhi."

Thinking about it now, I still miss it.

"Since you've said that, then I'll be abnormal, Maomao, come and let my brother hug you."

"Alas--"

After laughing and making trouble, he returned to seriousness.

"Okay, okay, what wish do you have, tell me." Dazai muttered while propping his chin.

Lu Yu didn't speak.A lot of snow had already accumulated in the paper bag at his feet, the man leaned over, picked up a handful and lightly pressed them into a ball, and began to pinch them.

After a while, a little white cat in a light and jumping posture was squeezed out.

"Look, you." He shook his hand, and the kitten lay in his palm.

Dazai stretched out his gloved finger and poked the kitten, making it crooked.Ah, it's kinda cute.

Lu Yu untied the scarf on his side and wrapped it around Dazai's neck, while the kitten was gently placed inside the scarf.

"Wish, since you have already asked, let me tell you."

He put the trash back in his tote bag and was probably about to leave.

"I hope you don't forget to put some warm babies on yourself when you are only wearing a windbreaker in winter, and remember to bring a scarf when you go out."

After the man packed his things, he raised his head, and there was something Dazai wanted to avoid in his bright iris eyes.

"I hope you went into the water in summer because it was too hot to wear a windbreaker, so I took the opportunity to cool off to prevent myself from heat stroke."

He stood up and walked to Dazai Osamu.

"I hope you don't miss one meal three times a day, you can fall asleep easily at night, every smile comes from the heart, and you can live a happy life instead of simply living."

"...that's really greedy." Dazai sighed.

"I still want to hug you."

The man spread his arms.

Dazai stood up silently, and responded to this too late but just right hug.

What does it feel like to be hugged?

Strong arms wrapped around his shoulders and waist, and his scorching breath hit his ears. The temperature belonging to another person invaded his world without hesitation.

The boundless silence and cold were dispelled, and the loneliness receded like a tide, and he was surrounded by a layer of temperature, as if the world had become smaller.

The small ones have only a small space between the arms and arms.Just like hiding yourself in a closet when you were a child, and wrapping yourself in a bandage when you grow up, the peace of mind is incredible.

A strange sourness emerged from the bottom of my heart and flowed into my limbs, numb and warm.

Dazai quietly relaxed his center of gravity, and the person supporting him was as firm as he expected, supporting him with ease.

For a moment, he wanted to curl up.

is loved.

At this moment, he clearly realized——

He is loved.

really...

"Dazai." The person holding him said softly, "It's been hard work so far."

"Keep working hard and struggle in the world."

"……it is good."

So the warmth left.

The kitten seemed to be somewhat melted by the heat, and Dazai felt his cheeks were cold and wet.

Snow stopped.

-

Days seem to be no different from before.

Kunikida is still chasing and killing Dazai violently every day, and Edogawa Ranpo is still addicted to snacks.The newcomer Sigma resolutely chose to integrate into them after hesitation, and he did a good job.

Fukuzawa Yukichi bid farewell to his old friends in prison and continued his life.

On the Mafia side, Mori Ogai Shiro picked up a Liyuan and was in a good mood.Akutagawa was cured of his lung disease by the supernatural medicine left by Dazai Xiaoji (the medicine that Takeenzai personally sent), and he chased after the tiger with full energy.

Higuchi Kazuyo was chasing after him frantically behind him.

Ango Sakaguchi continued to work overtime. He had to deal with the follow-up of the five declines of heaven and man and the human army, and his hairline moved back by one centimeter.

The ubiquitous male Sanhuamao is still active in every corner of Yokohama, and he can be seen beside the beautiful young ladies.

Okura Yeko has become the captain of the Hound and is looking for a newcomer.

All life goes on.

Including Wu Jingzai.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Buteizai has changed a lot. Although he still skips work, is lazy, and bullies Kunikida, it is rare to see him commit suicide, and his three meals a day are delicious.

I always feel that Mr. Dazai seems to have something to take care of——Atsushi Nakajima secretly said to Kyoka.

What is the reason, of course, only Buteizai knows.

It has been a week since Lu Yu and the others left.Everything was back on track, and so was he.Apart from the fact that sometimes I am not used to seeing the silence in a room, there is nothing wrong...

Wu Zhenzai, who came back from get off work wearing a scarf, stood in front of his dormitory, staring blankly at the small symbol that suddenly appeared at the corner of the gate.

With anticipation and rare apprehension, he opened the door.

Not cold and dark, but brightly lit.

"Little Rabbit Zaizhi! What did you do with my pot again?! What about dinner tonight?"

"It's not me! It's the big cat!"

"Zhi Jun just came back, how can I do this? Chuya, catch him! Fei Jia Mijia be careful, don't hit him!"

"Liu Weiwei can't catch me! Ah, Dazai Daiji, let me go!"

"Don't let it go~ I'll let you blame me~"

"Zhikun did a great job, wait a minute, Chuya, help master find a new pot, today Sorasuke finally fixed the gate, Dazai-kun will be back soon!"

"Teacher, I think you should go out and take a look first."

Chickens and dogs jump.

The strange burnt smell, the unique fragrance of the family, along with the noise, converged into the human world and rushed to Wu Zhenzai's face.

A man wearing a bear apron and curly hair tied into a bun ran out of the kitchen with a pot in his hand.

"Ah, Dazai-kun—"

When he saw Wu Jingzai at the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile spread over his entire face.

"Welcome home!"

Wu Jingzai blinked and couldn't help laughing.

"Well, I'm back."
