Her tone was as if she was greeting a friend she hadn't seen for a long time, and she didn't know whose heartstrings it would touch.

It was dark everywhere, and the little sunlight that penetrated through the crack of the door failed to illuminate anything in front of it.Nanase took a few steps forward cautiously, and didn't stop until her toes touched something hard like a step.She thought, this is probably the entrance.

The door clicked and closed without warning. After being in complete darkness for about three seconds, the heavy dark curtains were pulled open, and the lifeless room was finally filled with a little life.Saito stood by the window, with his back to her, still wearing that very large black top, and the hair on the back of his head grew so long that it almost touched his back.

"You found it." He murmured, as if talking to himself, without letting Nanase hear him.

He sighed softly, walked sideways to the tatami and sat down, keeping his head down all the time, avoiding all eyes with Nanase.

Nanase nodded to him: "Sorry, I came here without saying anything in advance, I'm a little abrupt, I'm sorry."

She walked to the tatami, sat down on the soft cushion opposite Saito, and put the souvenirs on the low table.

"I made my own maple muffins, hope you like them."

When she took off her shoes just now, she found that there were three pairs of shoes of different sizes in a mess at the entrance.She guessed that Taka lived here, too, with the owl whose name she had forgotten.

She looked around quietly, amazed at the narrowness of this room.There are old cabinets on all four sides of the living room. If you are not careful, it is easy to install the corners of the cabinets.There were messy piles of old newspapers and some plates on the cabinet, and there was even a small gas stove—she later found out that there was no kitchen here.The TV is a bulky model that has long been eliminated, and it takes up almost one-fifth of the space in the living room.The only thing that is more spacious is the low table in front of it.It looked like their dining table, because an unfinished bowl of porridge was still on the table.

Caihu put the porridge bowl aside.Except for what Nanase sent, there was nothing else on the table.

On the right, a little snoring came out of the closed door.

"Taka is sleeping." Sensing the change in her gaze, Caihu replied.

Nanase looked away and smiled: "That's right... Indeed, it's still early."

It's small and crowded, but clean.

It is not unreasonable that it will appear narrow.Dazai had told her before coming here that this was a typical bachelor's apartment - so there was no kitchen design.The rent is very cheap, and there are few people. It is simply an ideal residence for a criminal.

This should be more or less proof of Caihu's financial difficulties.

"So, why did you come here?" Caihu's voice was rough and dry, as if it had been honed by hot sand, "Is there a group of policemen behind you, waiting to arrest me? Ah...you know, I am a murderer , or a kidnapper..."

He laughed self-deprecatingly, lowering his head even lower.

"No, no, that's not the case." Saito's wild thoughts made Nanase nervous, and hurriedly explained, "I came to visit as a classmate. Moreover, I came alone, and no one followed me."

Saito didn't speak, and Nanase didn't know what to say.

Sitting opposite each other for a while, Nanase was frightened by the dull air.She tried to say something, but all the questions that came to her mind were abrupt, and she resentfully withdrew these thoughts.

Suddenly, the door moved.He pulled out the maple muffins from the box.

A thin layer of light brown and transparent maple syrup was poured on the golden muffins, which looked so tempting that Caihu couldn't help staring at them for a long time, but he didn't taste them or return them.

"Classmates or something..." His voice was low, almost like weeping, "This is the end, do you think we can still have such a friendly relationship?"

Saito's tone made Nanase stunned, a little surprised.

"Friendship is not something that can be destroyed so easily." After the astonishment, she did not hesitate, "Indeed, when I think about the experience of you abducting me, I still feel scared when I think about it, because I was really desperate to the extreme. But you helped me too, so I thought I should thank you too. Well, that's it."

The more she spoke, the more embarrassed she felt.

Caihu laughed, but the laughter sounded like weeping.He was panting heavily, his heavy breathing sounded like an old engine, his right hand clenched his heart, and his shirt was crumpled.

He coughed frantically.Nanase wanted to pour him a glass of water, but she didn't know where the water was put, so she could only be anxious.

After coughing for a long time, Caihu finally caught his breath.

"Because you can't die." His voice was as soft as an insect chirping through the cracks, "You will save many people. Even if it is a bad person like Johnson, even if he doesn't know how to resist me who deserves to die, you will Come back to life. So, I believe..."

He didn't finish his sentence, he was so choked up that he couldn't continue.

"I always thought you hated me." Nanase smiled, trying not to sound sad in her voice, "Your body will become so poor, it must be because I didn't do well enough at the time, so I only put you Pulled back from the hand of the god of death, but I never saw your half body still stuck in the quagmire of hell."

"What does that matter? The one who needs to repent is not you, but those who abused me and called me a lunatic." He finally raised his head, showing a thin face, "You saved my life, Qingshan The teacher saved my soul, and I should thank you."

"I've heard from other people who know Ms. Qingshan that she is an excellent educator."

"Yes. After graduating from junior high school, I continued to study under her name. She made up for my uneasiness with love, taught Taka not to resort to violence with patience, and helped Aying regain self-confidence with encouragement. Unfortunately, we still She didn't grow into the outstanding person she expected, but she..."

He choked up again.

"I want to continue to listen to her teachings, and I want her to witness our growth with my own eyes. This thought lingers, so I thought of that terrible method, because I happened to see you at the sports festival of Xiongying High School last year. "

Nanase remembered that during the sports festival, she sneaked out of the infirmary for a while and watched secretly for a while, and was just caught by the camera.

Caihu's words reminded her of the past.She had this idea before.

"I understand..." she murmured

"What I should have thought of is that people have a limited lifespan. And Teacher Aoyama has been trying to leave with the most decent posture, but we are struggling to get her back. Maybe this is really bad-no, this is really bad .”

He stated calmly, but it sounded like a cry.

Nanase didn't know what to say, so she just listened quietly.

Saito talked about why he killed Johnson and why he was obsessed with revenge against him, as if trying to scare Nanase away.But Nanase listened carefully all the time, no matter whether it was fear or disgust, these emotions were not revealed.

Caihu couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or guilt, he still lowered his head, but stopped talking.He was silent and ate all the muffins.

"Listen to me talking so much, don't you find it annoying?" he murmured.

Nanase shook her head.He wanted to say something, but was blocked by Saito's words.

"Taka is about to wake up. He has recently begun to lose control of his violent tendencies. If he sees you, he may... It's hard to say. For your safety, go back."

His words didn't give Nanase much choice.Nanase wanted to say something more, but in the end she didn't say anything.She stood up and waved him goodbye.

"Then I'm going back. See you next time."

"that……"

Caihu stopped her.

"Will you call the police and tell the police my address? You know, I have committed a crime." He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Even if I get caught, I don't care."

"This is the job of the police. I just came to meet a friend today." Nanase replied.

Caihu laughed.This seemed to be the first sincere smile Nanase saw.

"Thank you. Also, the muffins are delicious."

He raised his head, his eyes were still as clear as a boy's.

Nanase pursed her lips, hid her smile, and gently closed the door.

All the way down the steps, the steps are brisk.She suddenly remembered that there was some unfinished muffin batter left in the apartment, and she could bake some for colleagues in the detective agency tomorrow.

Ah, by the way, I don't go to work tomorrow.

So who should I give the muffins to?This is a question worth pondering.

But she didn't hesitate for too long before finding the answer.

Late at night, when Hong Jiaodong returned to the apartment, the lights in Lingju's house were almost extinguished.It was normal, after all, he was quite busy today.After class, I was called to help by Andewa. The only thing I was happy about was that I actually did something in today's hero activity.

The whole person is extremely empty, and the heart is also empty.He always felt as if he forgot something.Stepping up the steps, he began to think about what he had forgotten, and he didn't have any idea until he reached the apartment.

Ah, he forgot to call.He almost forgot about his routine daily calls.

He took off his combat uniform in the dark, stepped on the ground barefoot, and hurriedly took out his cell phone.Nanase was very reticent today and basically didn't say anything to him, causing him to accidentally forget about this important event.

mortally mortally...

Almost at the same time as the call sounded, fluorescent light suddenly lit up in the unlit apartment.Hong Jiaodong hurriedly turned his head to look, and there was a figure in the small area illuminated by fluorescent light.

Hong Jiaodong hung up the phone and approached quietly.Through the street lamp outside the window, he saw Nanase crouching beside the table.She fell asleep, not paying attention to the fluorescence of the phone screen when there was an incoming call.

Hong Jiaodong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was a strong urge to cry.The mixed emotions of longing and emotion rushed to every part of his body, eagerly looking for an outlet to vent.

He greedily looked at her sleeping face, even though all he could see was a vague outline, he was still satisfied.

a month and a half.He hasn't seen Nanase for a month and a half.

Hong Jiaodong didn't know why Nanase came here.But what the answer is does not seem to matter at the moment.To see her is enough to be happy; to be able to hear her breathing is enough to feel at ease.

He gently dragged away the chair next to her, sat down beside her, and looked at her quietly without saying a word.There was still some drowsiness at first, but now it has completely disappeared.

How nice it would be to see her like this every day, every day.Hong Jiaodong couldn't help but think so.

I don't know how many times the old clock on the wall of the living room has passed, but Hong Jiaodong is still waiting seriously.With such a situation, he is probably more devout than any believer in the world.

Sleeping Beauty didn't keep the Prince waiting too long.

"Well...you're back..." She was still lying on the table, her voice was lazily sleepy, "Sorry, I fell asleep."

"fine."

Hong Jiaodong shook his head, got up and lit the wall lamp.The room suddenly brightened.

"I baked muffins and brought them for you to eat." Nanase rubbed her sleepy eyes, brought the muffins to him as if asking for credit, and kept rubbing against his arm, "on a whim Yes, so I didn't tell you in advance. Don't blame me."

"How could it be. I'm already very happy that you can come back." Hong Jiao Dong said anxiously, but his dry words limited his ability to express himself.

Nanase sat up straight, leaned on the table, and complained softly: "But don't put the spare key under the carpet next time, it will definitely be stolen."

"It's okay, only you know."

Nanase couldn't help being a little proud of this, but it soon turned into a helpless sigh.

"It's a pity that the muffins are cold. They are delicious when they are hot!"

On a whim, Nanase urged Qi Hongjiao to reheat the muffins with his personality.Therefore, under the supervision of Chef Nanase, Hongjiao Jelly carefully controlled the fire, and successfully heated the muffins to the ideal temperature without scorching the muffins.

"Jiao Dong, you are like an oven."

Hong Jiaodong laughed and called her an idiot.

The muffins made by Nanase are really delicious, although they don't have the beauty when they just came out of the oven, but Hong Jiaodong doesn't care about this.

"I, I went to Caihu's house today. I had a good chat with him."

Nanase lowered her voice very low, afraid that Hong Jiaodong would say something about her.But Hong Jiaodong was only surprised, and also a little nervous, but not angry.

"He didn't do anything?"

Nanase shook her head: "Actually, he's not a very bad person. Really. It's just that he accidentally made a wrong decision, I guess."

"It's fine." Hong Jiaodong picked up the spoon again, "Before you do something like this next time, you must tell me."

"Obey!" Nanase saluted him.

"Are you going home later?" Suddenly thinking of this, Hong Jiaodong blurted out.

Nanase thought about it for a while, then nodded uncertainly: "It should be, but it's a bit late. Oh, it's almost twelve o'clock."

Hong Jiaodong swallowed a big mouthful of muffins covered in maple syrup, the sweet taste made his head sober, and he accidentally brought out the words in his heart.

"Otherwise, you can stay at my house for one night today." He stared at the syrup, his brain was out of control, "You know, it's dangerous at night, and it's far from your house. There's no hotel nearby."

Having said that, he regretted it.He felt that in the eyes of Nanase at this moment, he was an out-and-out pervert.

It is true that Hong Jiaodong dared to swear that he did not lie, and he had no bad thoughts. All his thoughts and suggestions were based on the consideration of Nanase's personal safety. However, after such an honest thought was spoken, why did it sound like it What about malicious intentions?

He panicked inexplicably, he didn't dare to speak out, and he didn't dare to look at Nanase.There is no other way to hide the embarrassment of the moment than to eat muffins like crazy.

However, the consequences of the frenzied eating were serious - he choked.

"Oh, why are you in such a hurry. You idiot." Nanase patted him on the back, and echoed back what he just said by the way.

"It's okay, it's okay." Hong Jiaodong waved his hands, but the choking feeling in his throat didn't disappear at all.

"If you don't mind, I can stay for one night." Nanase said suddenly.

Hong Jiaodong instantly calmed down, and looked at Nanase in disbelief.

"Really?"

"Ah."

Hong Jiaodong laughed out loud, but he quickly stopped laughing and returned to his usual serious appearance.

"Then I... help you clean up."

He stood up stiffly and walked towards the room stiffly, like a clockwork robot.

In a one-bedroom apartment, there are no other rooms except the master bedroom, so it is obviously inappropriate for Nanase to sleep on the sofa.Without even thinking about it, Hong Jiaodong gave up the master bedroom.He tidied up casually—in fact, he tidied up quite seriously, and his nervous mood calmed down a little.

It's normal for lonely men and widows to have such emotions in the same room.

normal... normal...

Hong Jiaodong carefully adjusted his breathing, and felt that his whole body was much lighter.He also finally felt that this small apartment had a sense of home.

Hurrying back to Tokyo from Yokohama, Nanase was already exhausted, even though she had slept for a while, she couldn't resist the menacing drowsiness at this moment.Without any psychological burden, she got into bed tonight.

The first thing she did unconsciously was to take a deep breath.

There was a smell of sunshine on the scorched bed, as if he was right beside him.This made Nanase sleep quite peacefully.

A night without dreams.When she woke up again, Nanase smelled the familiar smell of meat.She tiptoed out of the room and followed the scent to the kitchen.Hong Jiaodong was wearing an apron, and was standing by the stove seriously making breakfast.Now on to the sausage frying part.

Nanase quietly walked behind him, hugged him, and leaned close to his broad back, the sound of a strong heartbeat surging in her ears.

"Jiao Dong, wearing only an apron without a shirt is the correct attire for a house boy. You can learn from it."

Hong's scorched face instantly turned redder than the sausages in the pot.

"No!" He firmly refused.

It's too erotic, I can't accept it!

Nanase laughed a few times.She didn't mean it seriously.

After finally suppressing his shame, Hong Jiaodong asked cautiously: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yeah." Nanase nodded, "The bed is very soft."

"That's good." Hong Jiaodong heaved a sigh of relief, but couldn't help complaining, "I still can't get used to sleeping in Simmons. For me, the sofa is more comfortable."

"Tsk, weirdo."

In terms of teasing Hong Jiaodong, Nanase has never been outdone.

As she spoke, her eyes flicked around, and she just happened to glance at the cabinet beside her.The mirrors installed on the edge of the cabinet door reflect their close huddled figures.Nanase found that before she knew it, Hong Jiaodong was already half a head taller than her.She still remembered that they were about the same height in the third year of high school, only a little shorter than him.

"Jiao Dong, you have grown taller." Nanase rubbed the particularly soft tuft of hair on the top of his head, "It's a good thing."

Hong Jiaodong followed her gaze and saw himself in the mirror image.

"It's really grown a lot taller." He laughed.

"It will get higher and higher in the future."

Hong Jiaodong put the sausage out of the pot, cracked two poached eggs, and said casually: "Have breakfast later, can you go somewhere with me?"

"Okay."

Nanase noticed the change in his tone, but didn't know what he was thinking.Even so, she didn't hesitate.

Following Hong Jiaodong's footsteps, they came to the entrance of the hospital.Nanase stopped and stood at the door of the hospital, not wanting to go in anyway.

She panicked.

"Don't say that you have found out some terminal illness, you will die soon." Nanase took a big step back and said sternly, "I will be angry!"

Hong Jiaodong wanted to laugh, and pulled her closer: "No. I'll bring you to meet someone."

Nanase breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh? Then I'm relieved...but who do we want to see?"

"You'll know."

He is still mysterious.

With just the right amount of curiosity, Nanase followed him to a ward.The patient's name is written on the nameplate at the door.

"Hong Leng?" Nanase read out the above name word by word, then turned to ask Hong Jiao Dong, "Is this your family?"

"It's my mother."

"What?" Nanase screamed in horror, "Why didn't you tell me, I didn't prepare anything! Ah...would Auntie think that I was rude and dared to visit her with empty hands? I feel that I am overestimated, and my impression score is definitely poor..."

"Don't be afraid." He squeezed her hand hard, signaling to reassure her, "She won't care about these little things."

With the guarantee from Hong Jiaodong, Nanase was somewhat relieved, but her heart was still beating wildly, almost jumping out of her chest.

She spent more time than usual mentally preparing.

Hong Jiaodong pushed open the door, Nanase walked in after him, and saw the woman sitting by the window at a glance.The scorched mother was so elegant that Nanase couldn't bear to look away.

She awkwardly said hello to mother Hong, who smiled back.

"Mom, this is my girlfriend." Without any prelude or opening remarks, Hong Jiaodong said bluntly, "She is someone I am willing to give all my patience and time to, so I think it is necessary for you to meet her."

Mother Hong smiled, her smile was brighter than the hydrangeas in the glass vase.

"That's good, Jelly," she said.

Then Mother Hong asked Nanase a few more words, her tone was still so gentle.Nanase has reason to believe that it is Hong's mother who shaped all the tenderness of Hong Jiaodong.

As soon as she left the ward, Nanase teased that she was frozen.

"What you just said is like a marriage proposal. You are so stupid!"

Even so, she smiled more happily than anyone else.

Hong Jiaodong knew he was being abrupt, but he did have that thought.When he came home last night and saw Nanase waiting, he thought how wonderful it would be to be like this every day in the future, and then couldn't help but hope that she could stay forever.Inadvertently, she was included in all the visions of the future.For the rest of her life, she will be someone who absolutely cannot be absent.

He knew it was silly to say that, but he was sure that he had found someone worth stopping by.

"Then propose to you now, will you agree?"

"Hmm..." Nanase pondered for a moment, showing a haughty smile, "You are not old enough, don't think about such things now. Besides, I will make a decision based on your performance! Don't be too sure , Mister Boom."

Hong Jiaodong stopped, gently pulled Nanase's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and leaned over to kiss her.

Well, he has indeed grown a lot taller.

"I will never let you down."

He promised so.

PS. And there is no fanfare, because I can’t think of writing orz at all, but the sand sculpture has a brain hole, put it below, you can choose to watch it hehehe

Sand Sculpture Brain Hole: "The Possibility of Studying Detective Conan in the World of Personality"

In this world where nearly 80% of the world's population always have personalities, there is nothing wrong with the high school student detective Kudo Shinichi, known as the member of the Boy Detective Team, Edogawa Conan, who always thinks that his personality may be It is a super cool ability similar to "super reasoning", but the doctor has never been able to figure out what his personality is.

Yes, he has a personality, but he doesn't know what it is.

This is very embarrassing.

But Kudo Shinichi still believes that his personality is related to reasoning.

It's a pity that before he could come up with one, two, three, he unfortunately became smaller.

After becoming a primary school student, the thing that worries him the most is personality detection.Similar personalities are common in the world, but exactly the same personalities are impossible to exist.Personality cannot be reproduced, just like DNA, even twins of the same birth are more or less different.

Shinichi was afraid that this would become a handle for his real identity to be discovered by the winery.Yet he could think of no other way of avoiding it.

So, he reluctantly accepted the third personality test.

This time, the result was detected.

"Oh my god! My child..." The doctor looked sympathetic, "Your personality is 'you will die wherever you go'!"

Shinichi: ...

Shinichi: I think you are lying.

People with similar experiences also have gin.

His personality is called "Lone Wolf".It sounds handsome, but what it is actually useful for, he never knew.

Until he joined the winery and saw that his teammates were all undercover agents of the CIA, FBI, and Japanese public security. Vodka, Cohn and Chianti who know nothing but killing their own people.

From then on, he seemed to understand the meaning of "lone wolf".

It probably means that he can only save the dark business of the winery by himself in this life.

However, his salary is actually still so low.

...Hey boss, can I resign from the winery?Life is not worth it!
