After I divorced from chaos step

Amuro Toru is also very interested in Nakahara Chuya's black card.

When Morin Taro secretly returned the black card and receipt to me, he only avoided Alice, but he still saw it.

"A card with no spending limit, did that guest just hand it over to Ms. Yuan?" Toru Amuro looked serious, but he was actually a gossiping person, "Could it be that this card belonged to Ms. Yuan in the first place?"

"My friend lent it to me first." I didn't really want to gossip with Amuro, I saved Morin Taro's cell phone number, and I have to ask him for the money back.

The price of two cups of cold brew coffee and a bunch of exquisite desserts is not low. I pay the most for the cup of coffee I drink, and the other money will never be deducted from the money I earn from working.

Marui Bunta went out to deliver coffee to his girlfriend, and sent all the children who came to the store to play puzzles back home.

Toru Amuro told me that I can leave work at five o'clock.

Zhong Yuanzhong also sent me an email, asking me where I am?

I sent him the address of the coffee shop and attached a photo of myself at work.

[Hand-rolled coffee full of energy, do you want a cup when you are free?I invite you to drink. 】

He didn't reply again, probably because he hadn't finished his work yet.

I can't help but start thinking about where I'm going to live tonight.

Bunta Marui promised to pay me one month's salary in advance, but I was a bit rushed to find an intermediary to rent a house after get off work today, and now the rent is at least half a year, so one month's salary is not enough to pay.

I can only find a cheap hotel tonight.

"Qingxi sauce, good afternoon~"

I looked up from the ledger, and saw a handsome face on the bar.

"Dazai-kun, why are you here?"

Osamu Dazai tilted his head: "Come and have a drink. Why is Qingxi sauce here? Is... working?"

"Yeah." I thought that sooner or later I would tell them about me and Ranpo, so I might as well just say it now, "I divorced Ranpo-sang."

"Why?" Osamu Dazai asked suspiciously, "You have only been married for half a year."

Toru Amuro, who was next to me, heard our conversation and gave me a surprised look.

I feel a little uncomfortable.Divorcing after half a year of marriage is really unreliable in the eyes of others.Mom must think so too, that's why I hope I can shake hands with Ranpo.

But Morin Taro said that he must follow his inner choice.

Now that I can no longer trust Luanbu, I might as well disconnect earlier, so as not to repeat the encounter between me and Tuosi again-I believed him again and again, and he deceived me again and again until all my trust was exhausted.

...Maybe my trust is worthless, and no one will cherish it.

"Ranpo-san is good, but it's not for me. The problem between us can't be resolved, and I don't want to bring it up again." I handed the menu to Osamu Dazai, "What do you want?"

Osamu Dazai didn't answer, and said casually, "Give me a glass of fresh orange juice."

I asked in surprise: "Don't you drink coffee?" When I came to a coffee shop, I ordered orange juice instead of coffee. What a weird person.

"Not today." Osamu Dazai rested his chin on his hands and leaned against the bar, "I'm afraid of hardship."

"it is good."

Nothing in Marui Bunta's store is cheap, and the price of fresh orange juice is twice as high as other stores.But the ingredients here are always the best, and I chose the former without hesitation in pursuit of quality and quantity.

Osamu Dazai was not in a hurry to pay. Before I picked three oranges and prepared to squeeze the orange juice, I remembered his habit of paying on credit everywhere, so I urged: "Dazai-kun, I will issue you a receipt first."

Opening a small ticket means paying the money first. After Osamu Dazai said "Oh", he went to look for the wallet in the pocket of his clothes. After searching for a long time, the pocket was cleaner than his face.

"Did Dazai-kun forget to bring your wallet again?"

This is not the first time I have encountered this kind of situation. In the past, I would invite him, because there was no limit to my pocket money at that time.

But I am also cash-strapped now.

"Recently, I sponsored two impoverished students, and it was a bit difficult to make ends meet." Osamu Dazai covered his heart, "Can I get credit? I will pay back the salary next month."

Before I could answer, Toru Amuro had already refused: "Sorry, absolutely not. Especially if it's you, Mr. Dazai."

Osamu Dazai curled his lips aggrievedly. I found Toru Amuro's last sentence a bit uncomfortable: "Mr. Amuro, it is the store's policy not to accept credit, but why are you emphasizing Dazai-kun?"

Toru Amuro handed me an empty cup, his expression unchanged: "This is what the boss has emphasized."

"That's right, I emphasized it." Accompanied by the tinkling of wind chimes, Marui Bunta's voice came from outside the door.

Behind him, there is another person, Yukimura Seichi.

Yukimura was wearing sportswear, with a purple and white striped jacket over his shoulders, and a headband on his forehead. He should have just played tennis.

"Qingxi." He was not surprised when he saw me.It is estimated that Marui has already told him about my situation.

"Yukimura, long time no see."

Actually not very long.

A few weeks ago, Ranpo and I went to my mother's house for the last time, and ran into Yukimura by chance when we were jogging by the beach.

At that time, Luanbu still dragged me and said to him: "Qingxixi fell in love with me at first sight, and I also like her very much. We only got married after meeting the parents. Why is it so sudden?"

I also said that I would invite Yukimura to dinner, but I didn't invite him to the wedding because I was afraid of affecting his game.

The meal hasn't been invited, but the marriage has already divorced.

For Yukimura, I am afraid that he has witnessed a curse called "show affection and die quickly".

Yukimura's eyes fell on Dazai, I don't know if it was my illusion, but I always felt that his eyes became a bit sharper.

There was a smile on the corner of Dazai's lips, and he waved enthusiastically at Yukimura: "Hi, Lord Son of God."

Do they know each other? ...Oh, I know.

When I went abroad, I asked Dazai to break up with Yukimura.The division is very thorough, but I still don't know what reason Dazai used.

"Qingkei-chan, I'm afraid you don't know, this person is a well-known rairess in various coffee shops and bars in Yokohama." Marui Bunta's words really shocked me, I looked back at Dazai, and he shrugged at me.

indeed.

I knew that Dazai had the habit of paying on credit, but I didn't expect that he had become a famous old Lai.

"Anyone who keeps his promise is welcome in my shop." Marui smiled, "but Lao Lai is not welcome."

... very abnormal.

Although Marui Bunta is a businessman, he is not a person who can say such harsh words.

He has a strong animosity towards Dazai.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm on a tight budget recently."

Dazai smiled at me embarrassedly, he was not angry because of Marui's words, he scratched his head, a little at a loss.

I noticed that the bandage on his arm was torn, and he immediately covered it with his right hand, his eyes slightly embarrassed.

...are you so poor that the bandages are defective?

"Qingxi sauce, please give Minister Yukimura a glass of orange juice, and I will be charged." Marui ordered.

Yukimura also just said softly with a smile on his face: "It's the first time I came to Bunta's branch, and something lucky happened. Qingxi, please."

"No trouble, it's just work." After all, Marui paid my salary.

Dazai also ordered orange juice earlier, and the fresh and round oranges in my hand were picked for him.

Now that the oranges are about to be squeezed for Yukimura to drink, I always feel that Dazai... is pitiful.

He said that he sponsored two poor students, so money is tight now.Others may think he's lying, but there's a good chance it's true.

The salary of the Armed Detective Agency is not low. Apart from daily life and buying bandages, he has no expenses, but he relies on credit for drinking and coffee, and thus has become a famous old man.

This is not a glorious thing, but anyone with a little self-respect will never let this happen.

Then Dazai has no choice but to become Lao Lai.His salary is not spent on himself, it must be spent on others - it is his regret not to go to college, he has regrets in his heart, so he will help poor students.Probably want to continue their dreams in others.

The atmosphere in the cafe became awkward.

Yukimura and Marui were talking, about tomorrow's Boys' Day Tachikai tennis match, Dazai tried to interrupt several times, but the two ignored him.

He had to look down and pick at his fingernails.

"Will Qingxi go tomorrow?" Yukimura suddenly asked me.

"Go, Marui said to give me paid vacation." I squeezed two glasses of orange juice, put one in front of Yukimura, and one in front of Dazai.

The atmosphere becomes more subtle.

Dazai slowly opened his eyes, his eyes moved up from the cup and fell on my face.

He smacked his lips.

"Marui, I'll pay for his orange juice." In order not to hurt Dazai's face in front of them, I lied, "Dazai-kun invited me to eat ramen last time."

Dazai was not polite to me, he was already biting the straw and sucking up the orange juice, sucking it hard.

Yukimura waved his hand, signaling Marui not to speak, and then said to Dazai, "I'll buy this cup, since Mr. Dazai has taken care of Qingxi."

Dazai bit the straw, and his words were slurred, but he could still understand.

"What does my taking care of Qingxi sauce have to do with you?" Dazai raised his eyebrows, "But since you are willing to invite me, please be generous and treat me to the most expensive cold brew coffee here."

"Don't go too far." Marui said coldly, "This is not a port mafia, nor an armed detective agency. You can go back there and be arrogant."

I don't understand.Dazai works for a detective agency, so Marui will mention the detective agency, but the port mafia, does it have anything to do with Dazai?

Yukimura's expression remained calm: "No problem, but after you finish drinking this cup of coffee, please go back."

"Okay." Dazai agreed very readily.

Cold brew coffee should be sipped slowly, but Dazai drank it like a drink.

I figured he'd never had cold brew before, so he drank it like a beverage.

Yukimura and Marui, one is a professional tennis player, the other is a boss with his own brand, and their consumption level is not low. Of course, they can't understand the hard work of Dazai who doesn't even have the money to study.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Dazai left the coffee shop as promised. Before leaving, he also put the orange peel peeled off before squeezing into his pocket, his movements were cautious, and his eyes were almost pious.

"Yeah, I have orange peel to eat tonight." He whispered to himself.

I choked up.

Some people have a glamorous appearance, but they eat orange peels at night.

I couldn't hold back, and under the calm gaze of Marui and Yukimura, I carried a few fresh oranges and a few pieces of cake, put them in bags, said "deducted from my salary", and ran out in a hurry.

"Dazai-kun!"

I chased him for 200 meters, and caught up with him at the entrance of an alley.

He held a piece of orange peel in his mouth, with a leisurely expression on his face.

"What's the matter?"

I handed him the plastic bag: "Oranges and cakes, not many, for you to eat at night."

He didn't answer.

"Qingxi sauce, you are not having an easy time now, are you?"

He lowered his eyes, and his two thick eyelashes flickered.

I was taken aback, and then said, "No, I'm doing well. I found a job right after I got divorced, and it went well. Marui also promised to pay my salary in advance and let me rent a house first."

"That's good, but I can't accept this, the boss will definitely deduct it from your salary." Dazai paused, and said, "And it's okay, since I sponsored those two poor students, I've gotten used to oranges. The smell of the skin is gone, and it’s okay.”

"It's not good at all." I said, "When you help others, you should also think about yourself a little bit. It's not a good thing to become an old Lai."

"Oh." He sighed softly, "I'm already like this anyway, I never care about things like reputation. As long as I think they will have a bright future, it doesn't matter if I eat some orange peels. No matter how hard it is, I can't be bitter." Children, no matter how poor you are, you can’t afford poor education.”

He looked at the bag in my hand, swallowed, reluctantly: "So, take these things back."

...Obviously I really want to eat it, but I am afraid of causing trouble for me and say I don't need it.

"Dazai-kun, the sold goods cannot be returned." I pretended to be embarrassed, "So it's useless for me to take them back."

He was stunned, and then said eagerly: "Then what should I do? If you want to deduct your salary, I'll talk to him."

After saying that, I made a gesture to go to Marui, but I quickly stopped him.

"It's normal to give a small gift between friends. You can accept it. I have an internal staff price, which is very cheap."

In fact, there is no such thing.

I say this just for his peace of mind.

"I'll accept it this time." Dazai took the bag and warned, "Don't do this again next time, I'll be angry."

I saw him flipping the cake with joy on his face and no reproach in his eyes, so I was relieved.

"it is good."

I was just about to go back to the coffee shop when Dazai asked me, "Are you renting an apartment?"

"……Um."

"Have you found the right one?"

"Not yet. I plan to stay in a cheap hotel first, and find a suitable room in two days. It's best to pay monthly."

But I also know that a house with monthly payments has little hope.

Dazai ate half of the cake, squinted his eyes and said, "Do you want to rent my house? The children's school fees are not enough, so I plan to rent out the first floor of my house."

"Eh?"

"You can pay monthly, no deposit, only half of the market price. Take it as my thanks for your oranges and cakes?"

This incident made me very happy, but it was tantamount to taking advantage of Dazai.I thought about it and refused.

If Dazai rents it out to others, he can make a little more money.

"Qingxi sauce, as a friend, I very much hope to solve your problems, and besides, I can't find a suitable tenant now." Dazai swallowed the last piece of cake, "The children's tuition is imminent, and I will pay for those poor students even if I sell everything. Study, become a cadre, and go to university!"

I didn't expect Dazai's thoughts to be so lofty.

I opened my mouth, just about to organize my words to praise him, when the voice of a man gnashing his teeth came from behind.

"What nonsense are you talking about!!!"

I turned my head and saw Nakahara Chuya with an angry face
