The right way to polish a diamond

Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya bid farewell and left, and greeted Mrs. Toko after going downstairs.

The two sides exchanged addresses and communication methods, and today's original goal has been completed.

They didn't expect to get the answer on the first day, otherwise they wouldn't rent a house in Yayuan.

But they didn't expect that they would get a huge thunder on the first day.

Osamu Dazai looked at the preoccupied Nakahara Chuya beside him, and lowered his eyes.

Back to the house they rented, Zhong Yuan took out the key and opened the courtyard door, and the two walked in together.

Different from the western-style decoration of Zhongya’s house in Zhongyuan, this house has a Japanese-style structure, and the houses of other neighbors are consistent, which fits well with the scenery outside the window.

The first floor is the living room and kitchen, the second floor is the bedroom and a small attic.From the house to the furniture are all wooden structures, fresh and natural.

The courtyard is covered with greenery, and a few clusters of small flowers bloom in the green lawn.The flowers are very small, not a rare species, but wild flowers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, giving people a sense of vitality.

Wind chimes are hung under the eaves of the house, and wooden benches are placed under the porch.Open the door.There are sofas and coffee tables in the living room, tables and chairs for eating next to them, and a kitchen with all kitchen utensils can be seen next to it.

There is a vase on the tea table in the living room, and the small flowers growing in the garden are inserted in the vase.It's not a deliberate flower arrangement, it's just placed in a vase at will, which has a casual beauty.

Zhongyuan Zhong also fell in love with this house almost at the first sight when he entered it, and thought it was a good place for vacation.

Zhong Yuan also sat on the bench and looked up at the scenery outside. The autumn leaves were falling from the trees, which made people feel a bit bleak.

——It turns out that the scenery is really affected by the mood.

Osamu Dazai looked at the figure of Chuya Nakahara, walked over, and sat next to Chuya Nakahara.

Chuya Nakahara acquiesced in Osamu Dazai's actions, didn't speak, just looked at the flowing clouds in the sky.

Until Dazai Osamu's determined voice came from beside him, "Chu is also a human being."

Chuya Nakahara's eyelashes trembled, he didn't turn his head to look at Osamu Dazai, but asked "Really?"

Osamu Dazai said in a calm voice, "I've always thought so, because Chuya has a human nature that I hate so much."

There was a little more smile on Nakahara Chuya's face.That's what Osamu Dazai convinced him when they were 16 years old.

He looked down at the scar at the base of his right wrist, a very small scar, but it was once a proof that he was a human being.

"Is it human?" Nakahara Chuya moved his gaze from his wrist to the ring on his left hand. The silver-white ring was the opposite of black, and the broken diamonds on it shone brightly in the sun.

"But thinking about it now, it's not necessarily true," Osamu Dazai noticed that Nakahara Chuya's eyes were fixed, and a smile appeared on his face, but he said unforgivingly, "With Chuya's kindness, it's okay to say that it's a god. It’s not that it’s unjustifiable. I always thought that Zhong also just remembers to eat but not to fight.”

"God?" Nakahara looked at Osamu Dazai dumbfounded, "Also, who remembers eating but not beating?!"

"You're talking about Chuya!" Dazai Zhizhi said confidently, "Isn't it?"

"Is it possible that you are a human being who holds grudges like you?" Zhong Yuan said, "I can't even see it! There is probably no second person with such a bad personality like you!"

Osamu Dazai asked, "Isn't that what Chuya thinks? For human beings." He always looks at everyone with tolerance, that kind of freedom that no one can match.

For Chuya, forgiveness is such an easy thing, it seems that those painful injuries can be laughed off.

"Human?" Zhong Yuanzhong also thought about it, and said nonchalantly, "Not at all, I don't have any thoughts about humans at all."

He said, "Everyone has their own choice, there are good and bad, but it has nothing to do with me."

"Really? It doesn't matter..." Osamu Dazai asked, "What does Chuya think human beings are?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also frowned, "Human beings... are human beings."

Osamu Dazai rested his chin with one hand, "So, it doesn't make any sense with Chuuya. Maybe Chuya is really another species."

Zhong Yuanzhong also opened his eyes wide, "Who do you think is another species?!"

Osamu Dazai said enthusiastically, "If Chuya is really a god, would a temple be needed? I can barely hold the position of Miaozhu!"

"It's too unlucky to have a temple wish like you!" Zhongyuan Zhong also imagined the scene and shuddered.

"What?!" Osamu Dazai said unhappily, "I'm thinking of Chuya!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also flatly refused, "I don't want it! With a temple like you, I will definitely become some kind of weird god!"

Osamu Dazai tilted his head, his eyes sparkled, "For example, do you bless the gods who can die happily?"

"It's not impossible to do this kind of thing." Nakahara Chuya complained twitchingly, "But does this kind of god really have believers?"

Osamu Dazai said, "I am not?"

As soon as his words fell, the two fell into silence again.Nakahara stared at Osamu Dazai.

Ah, he thought, so it is!It turned out that this was what Osamu Dazai wanted to say all along.

——Whether it is a god, a monster, or a human, I will always be with you.

"...You can be more direct next time." Chuya Nakahara smiled on his face, and the worries and loneliness that had lingered between his brows disappeared.

"What is more direct? What is Chuya saying?" Osamu Dazai, who was about to blush at the sight of Nakahara Chuya, changed the subject. Is it also what you ask for?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also said inexplicably, "When will I respond to my request."

"I've heard about it," Dazai Osamu said sourly, "Higuchi often asks Chuya for help."

"Not often."

"Why are Akutagawa's subordinates so familiar with Chuya?"

"Because she's Akutagawa's subordinate."

Nakahara Chuya was bickering with Osamu Dazai, and the empty place in his heart was filled little by little.

The sun slid from the sky, and the brilliance of the setting sun fell on the two of them, covering them with a layer of orange light.

Osamu Dazai watched the warm red light fall on Nakahara Nakaya, the light with the same hair color as Nakahara Nakaya wrapped him up, making him a seamless one, as if Nakahara Nakahara was about to melt into the light.

"Dazai." Chuya Nakahara's blue eyes caught Osamu Dazai and framed him.

Dazai Osamu came back to his senses, "What? Is Chuya speechless?"

"Obviously you are the one who is speechless!" Zhong Yuanzhong also said proudly, "I won!"

"Tch, I gave way to Chuya." Osamu Dazai said, "I can't help it. Since Chuya is in a bad mood, I'll let you win this time."

Nakahara took Osamu Dazai's hand and got up from the bench, "Let's go in, I'm hungry."

The homeowner prepared ingredients for them in the refrigerator, and Nakahara Nakaya sat at the dining table, watching Osamu Dazai busy in the kitchen willing to admit defeat.

The kitchen window was open to let the fumes out.The warm sunlight shone in, and gentle spots of light danced on Osamu Dazai.

Nakahara Chuya's gaze was softer than the sun.Gradually, his eyes became firm and did not waver anymore.

After dinner, the two walked into the same bedroom.The bathroom in the bedroom is not as big as the one at home, but it is small and well-equipped.

The bed in the bedroom was a bit narrow compared to the one at home, but Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuya were both thin, so they could still lie on it.

After the two washed up, they got into the quilt one after the other.Because the bed was relatively narrow, the two of them only covered one quilt.

"Dazai, I'm human." Nakahara Chuya hugged Dazai Osamu's waist tightly, his warm bodies pressed together without distinction.

He doesn't know if he is human, but he wants to be human and has been with Osamu Dazai.

"Chuya is of course human." Dazai Osamu looked down at the furry head in his arms, and dropped a kiss on the hairpin.He hugged Zhongya Zhongya tightly, and said affirmatively, "Because the gods will not favor a certain human being."

And the Central Plains also favored him.
