After I divorced from chaos step

Why should I feel guilty?

Logically speaking, I shouldn't be guilty.

But looking at Nakahara Chuya's eyes, I actually felt a little guilty.

"How could I be bored with you?" I also asked back.

Nakahara Nakaya and I had a blind date twice before. Although he didn’t talk much to me, he took good care of me and was considerate. He even lined up to buy ice cream for me.

How could I be bored with him?

Wait, he just said I was wrong, why did he have such a misunderstanding?

At that time, I obviously took the initiative to hold his hand, but he immediately shook it off.

He was the one who didn't answer my emails or answer my phone calls after that.

Why did he react like I gave him a donkey instead?

His expression became deeper.

"Then why don't you go back—"

"Cough cough."

A cough sounded behind us, and Zhongyuan Zhong and I also looked over there in unison.

In the dim and bleak light, there was a fox's face, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, very creepy.

I:"……"

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

"Ah, didn't you scare me?" The fox mask was taken off, revealing Granny Hanamaru's smiling round face.

"Who can this kind of thing scare?" I couldn't complain.But it's already so late, isn't Grandma Hanamaru still asleep? "Sorry to bother you, mother-in-law."

"It's okay, I woke up before you came." Grandma Hanamaru took the Chu duck from Nakahara Nakaya, stroked its slender neck, "Chu, have you met your ideal?"

The Chu Duck buried his head humbly, and didn't even make a "croak".

Looks downcast.

"It's okay, there's another time, Chu, don't give up so quickly."

I watched my grandma coaxing the duck, and thought there was nothing I could do about it. The object of the duck's crush was a cat.Cats and ducks are different, it would be nice not to treat them as food.

A duck actually understands sadness—the Chu duck is not an ordinary duck after all, and if it wasn't for its "reminder", I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed that Tosi left a provocative message in the bottle cap of the vodka.

They fought secretly, but left me alone.

... so annoying.

"Grandma, can I live here for a while." I bowed to Grandma Hanamaru, "Please, I'm divorced now, and I haven't found a place to live yet."

Grandma Hanamaru didn't even frown when I told the news of the divorce.

It seemed that Chu Ya didn't catch up with her favorite cat, which worried her more.

"It's okay to stay for one night." Grandma put down the duck, walked into the room that Zhongyuan Zhongye opened just now, and turned on the wall lamp on the wall, "But I'm afraid I can't stay for a while, it will cause me trouble."

Exactly what I expected.

Granny Hanamaru is approachable, but not humane.

Nakahara Chuya spoke before me: "Grandma Hanamaru, finding a job is not a one-day job. She has no other place to go, and she won't cause you any trouble."

"Chuya, it doesn't matter how long you live here, but Qingxi can't." Grandma Hanamaru handed me the fox mask in her hand, "If she doesn't cause me trouble, someone will come to cause me trouble because of her." troublesome."

"But now she—"

Zhong Yuan also wanted to defend me a few words, so I stopped her and said to my grandmother, "Then I will rest for one night and leave tomorrow morning."

"Yeah." Grandma Hanamaru nodded, "You guys are busy, I'll go to the lake."

The rooms in the duck farm are decorated as individual huts, and it is no problem to accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time.There is a small house for me, and there is also a house where Zhong Ye often lives in the Central Plains.

The furnishings in my room are exactly the same as the small room in Xing Zuo’s grandfather’s house when I was a child, even the potted plants on the table are the same style of Silver Queen.There are a few books on the desk, and the photo frame next to it has been wiped spotlessly.

I still remember the joke Xingzuo's grandfather made to me at that time: "When you grow up, you are welcome to come to my house to play at any time. You can stay overnight, but not for a long time."

Of course I was very unconvinced, and pulled his hair and said, "Why don't you stay for a long time, your house is mine too!"

Grandpa Xingzuo just smiled.

The wind blows in from the window, blowing the short powder-blue curtains up and down, time flows slowly, and the young star in the photo frame is also smiling.

Xingzuo's grandfather was beautiful when he was a teenager, and possessed powerful supernatural powers. His personality was free and easy, and he became unpredictable. In the end, he chose an honest and ordinary grandmother. But the two have always gotten along very well.Grandma also took his every word to heart after he disappeared for many years.

"Mr. Zhongyuan, don't be angry. Actually, you can't blame my grandma. She just listens to my grandpa." I picked up the photo frame, curled my fingers and flicked the photo, "My grandpa is very worried about me because I have lived here for a long time. , become a salted fish with no fighting spirit.”

"...Grandma Hanamaru is too indifferent to your affairs."

I thought to myself, because it was Ranpo who divorced me, not Nakahara Chuya, otherwise Grandma Hanamaru would not be so calm-but it may also be that she thinks it is not a big deal.

Unlike my mother who wanted to get involved and control everything, my loving grandma hardly interrupted. She respected all my choices, but also let me accept all the consequences of my choices.

I shrugged: "I think it's good, at least I don't keep asking questions like my mother. Believe it or not, my mother will kill me tomorrow morning?"

Zhong Yuanzhong was also silent, he also knew my mother.

"Divorce is also very simple in some cases. I don't have any property disputes with Ranbu-sang, because everything belongs to him, and it's nothing to me. We don't have any children to raise together..."

When they come together, they gather; when they do not, they disperse.

But I'm not sure Ranpo thinks the same way.

Although he has said many times that he likes me very much, I don't know if it is true.He may have said it to obtain information about Tosi, or he may have said it because he likes the sweets I made for him.

Anyway, I can't tell the truth from the fake, forget it.

I checked my phone, it was already 03:30 at night.

...not sleepy at all, I used to wake up at this time.

"I want to go for a walk." I put the photo frame back to its original place, "Do you want to go with Mr. Zhongyuan?"

"Yeah." He looked out of the window, there was a half of the lake where ducks swim in the daytime, and there was a short hill.The tree shadows are whirling and lonely, and the whole duck farm is shrouded in a quiet atmosphere.

"I haven't looked at this place for a long time."

On the empty path of the duck farm, Zhongyuan Zhongye and I walked in tandem.

In the past, there were no street lights on the side of the road, and grandma used to use a flashlight when she came out at night. Later, Zhongyuan Zhong also asked people to install street lights around the entire duck farm.

The street lamp stretched his shadow very long, I walked behind him, lowered my head and stepped on his shadow, stepping on the circle illuminated by my head.

Yuan suddenly stopped.

I stepped on it heavily.

Then raised his face.

Zhongyuan Zhong also stood one meter away from me, with his hands folded across his chest: "Is it fun?"

"Hey, it's fun." I retracted my foot pretendingly, and explained, "When I was young, I followed others and stepped on shadows. It is said that it can help others to step on bad luck. How, do you want to thank me?"

"Hey." Zhong Yuanzhong also walked towards me, "There are more fun ones, do you dare to play?"

It was almost the first time I heard such words from his serious and steady mouth. , I couldn't help but looked at him carefully.

He is good-looking, with unruly and delicate features. When he said this, his eyes seemed to be shining, and the corners of his mouth were upturned like a child, with a bit of evil.

"Of course I dare."

Although I don't know what he meant by more fun.

He moved a little closer and raised his eyebrows: "Stretch out your hand."

I stretched out my right hand, and he also stretched out his hand, and his fingers touched my palm lightly.

Then I found that my body became lighter and lighter, and finally I slowly floated up.

After my feet left the ground, no matter what posture I made in the air, I never fell to the ground.

I looked at Chuya Nakahara standing on the ground: "Can I fly?"

He didn't speak, and with a wave of his finger, I immediately flew over the woods lightly.

This is his superpower.The last time I was thrown from a tall building by Gogol, he also caught me with his ability.The same is true for the locomotive and the duck that almost overturned just now.

I knew his abilities before I met him.

Tosi once brought an intelligence book from the insiders of the port mafia that recorded the abilities of most of the port mafia's personnel.

While Tuo Si was taking a bath, I looked through the list.When I saw Nakahara Chuya's name, I knew he was the young man that Grandma Hanamaru often mentioned on the phone with me.So I tore off that page without hesitation.

Because of this, Tuo Si discovered that I had a different heart.

When I was tearing up that page, Tosi stood silently behind me.

He deliberately threw the list on the table, and put all the information he collected in front of me without any disguise, just to see if I would make small moves.

Then he sent me back to Russia overnight, spent a sunny weekend with me, and locked me in Edgar Allan Poe's book.

Later, when I came out of the book, I talked on the phone with Koguri Chongtaro, who also left the house of the dead. He speculated that Tosi originally wanted to bring me into the plan, because my ability was very helpful to his plan, but the five decays of heaven and man One part of the plan is that he will go to prison. He is worried that during that time, I will be influenced by others and leave the whole team. Besides, I have long been dissatisfied. No one can control me except him, so he ended up The decision sent me back to Russia.

As for why it must be sent back to Russia, neither Koguri Chitaro nor I know.Tosi's thoughts, I have never guessed.

I just think it's great that Chuya and the others are still alive and well.

Fortunately, Tosi's plan did not succeed, and fortunately the world was not destroyed.

Fortunately, I was still able to leave the rat in the house of death.

I flew higher and higher, looking down, grandma's duck farm became smaller and smaller, and the Central Plains became a small dot.Half of the lake, woods, and small ravines are like the scenery on the map.

I looked up, and the moon was just above my head, big and bright, like a glowing egg yolk... no, it was much lighter in color.

Because it will soon be dawn, the night is not dark, but a dark blue with luster.

I waved to Zhong Yuan Zhong who was on the ground.

He was like an arrow that left the string, with a gust of wind, he rushed to my side in an instant.

"Is it fun?" he asked me.

I flicked my bangs messed up by the wind he brought, and nodded at him: "It's fun. It's like traveling in space in a state of weightlessness. Mr. Zhongyuan, if you are a teacher, you must teach astronomy. "

Zhong Yuanzhong also curled his lips: "Returning to the teacher? I haven't even been to school."

I know that Nakahara has never been to school, and Ranpo also dropped out of junior high school. It seems that people in Yokohama generally have low education. Perhaps the most educated person is Osamu Dazai, who was also a class leader. Unfortunately, he was also dismissed by Tosi Fucked, failed to enter the university.

Maybe he will join the Armed Detective Agency to deal with the five evils of heaven and man, and also to avenge Tuo Sifu for not being able to go to college.

"But Mr. Zhongyuan is very gentle. If he is a teacher, he should be very popular with the students—"

He interrupted me and asked, "Are you still flying up?"

It was only then that I noticed that the two of us were steadily rising.

"Then let's rush to space in one breath." I waved my hand, as if I must win.

"...I will be hypoxic." He poked my palm again, and my body slowly became heavier again, and I fell down gently.

In the end, he landed firmly on the place just now. The moment he landed, he was afraid that I would fall, so he reached out to help me.

"Thank you."

He withdrew his hand, put it in his pocket, and looked elsewhere: "Are you feeling better?"

"Great."

He opened his mouth, and his expression became a little serious again, as if he was trying to organize his words, but I waited for a long time before I finally got the word "um".

I burst out laughing.

"Just say what Mr. Zhongyuan wants to say."

He frowned at me, and remained silent for a long time before whispering: "People like Edogawa Ranpo are everywhere on the street. You don't have to be sad at all..."

After a pause, his voice was lowered and very soft.

"There will be better ones."

It's already dawn.

I could clearly see his facial expressions.His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and there were stars in his beautiful blue eyes.

Only then did I realize that he used his ability to play with me because he was worried that I would be too sad because of the divorce, so he wanted me to relax. It is very likely that he didn't plan to come here at all, or he would not come here as soon as he sent me here. He should have left, after all, he was a cadre of the Mafia, and he still had a lot of things to deal with, and he had very little spare time, let alone flying around the forest at night.

...Did you think I was too sad, so you stayed?

Seeing that I didn't reply for a long time, Nakahara Chuya said again: "I won't ask you the reason for divorce anymore, but if he provokes me again next time, I won't let him go."

When he said this, he was furious, like a child about to fight with someone.

"Mr. Zhongyuan, have you ever had a relationship with Ranbu-sang before?"

Luanbu has no force value, and if there is a fault, it should be that Zhongyuan Zhong also suffered a loss in terms of brain power.

"...No." Zhongyuan Zhong also kicked a stone flying under his feet, snapping his fingers, "I just feel that he needs to be cleaned up."

I smiled and said, "As a thank you, let me make you breakfast. What would you like to eat?"

Grandma Hanamaru's duck farm is remote, but there is no shortage of ingredients, and the refrigerator is full all year round.

"Feel free, I'm not picky eaters, you can do what you want." Zhong Yuan looked at the phone, "Go to sleep, I still have things to deal with."

"I won't sleep anymore." I said slowly, propping my chin on my right hand, "I won't be able to sleep for a long time. It's already dawn."

"go to sleep."

"Don't go."

"Okay." Seeing that I was disobedient, he nodded, "Don't try to fly next time, I'll sink you into the ground and plant it with Chinese cabbage."

The tone of his speech was half joking and half serious, as if a child was angry with a naughty adult, or as if an adult was warning a disobedient child.

"I'm scared, so I'm going to sleep." I waved at him, and I was indeed a little sleepy, and I haven't had a good rest in the past two days.

Just had fun again.

All the negativity was thrown out of my mind, leaving only exhaustion.

"It would be great if I could see meteors, I would sleep more comfortably." I turned around and walked towards the room, "It is said that there will be a meteor shower in Hokkaido in a few days, but it is too far away from here."

The last time I saw a meteor shower, Tuo Si and I were still in love—many years had passed.

"Meteor shower..."

Zhong Yuanzhong also repeated in a low voice, and then stopped me.

"source."

I stopped.

Looking back at this moment, I saw probably the most miraculous scene in the world.

Countless stones flew across the sky, the sun came out, the orange light hit the stones, and the stones seemed to be glowing.

The stone spelled a word in the air.

【Go to sleep! ! ! 】

Finally, all the stones fell into the lake, causing waves of ripples.

I looked at Zhongya Zhongyuan and gave him a thumbs up: "The meteor shower in the cottage is very nice!"

The corner of his mouth twitched: "...there is no need to emphasize the cottage."

"Then I'm going to bed." I walked into the room, and when the door was closed, I poked my head out again.

"Mr. Zhongyuan." I stopped him.

He leaned against the door, just took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it: "What's the matter?"

I took a deep breath and said seriously: "When I first met you, I was never bored with you, and I sent you many emails, but you never replied, and I couldn't get through any calls, so I Thought you were annoying me."
