[Black Basket] The legendary woman who was taken care of by Akashi

The flashing light and the sound of the shutter are intertwined in the same space, indicating that the scene is no longer desperate to the bottom.

"Now we have come to the fourth anniversary celebration of the successful merger of Danno Industry and the Akashi Foundation Century. Please zoom in on the camera. On the steps is Mr. Akashi Seijuro, the current president of the Akashi Foundation. Mr. Akashi, who is only 22 years old this year, is a member of the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo. During the school period, he has maintained the position of chief and served as the president of the student council for two consecutive terms. Now let us interview Mr. Akashi."

"Hello." Akashi Seijuro, who was wearing a George Amarni dark blue dark-striped suit, combed his red hair neatly back, his eyes were sharp with his forehead exposed, and his already handsome face was a little more intimidating.

"Hello, Mr. Akashi, first of all, congratulations on your graduation. After many years of ups and downs, the development of the Akashi Foundation has even broken the previous records. What do you think is the most memorable?"

"Thank you. I'll never forget everyone who saw me fall down," he said without a smile. "Everyone who believed I'd get up won't forget me."

"I heard that you intend to cooperate with KG company in the future. Are you planning to carry out the brand-new plan that was discontinued five years ago?"

"The BN project was once the most important project of the consortium. Too much effort of a certain person has been poured into it. There was no chance in the past, but now I am ready, and it will naturally be officially restarted." Akashi touched the right finger on his finger Jie, "Even if it's for her, I won't give up easily."

"Is this person your lover? I'm sorry, Mr. Akashi is notoriously celibate, but he always wears a pair of rings. Everyone has never seen any partner around you. I think the audience is as curious as I am. .”

"She is the love of my life," Akashi looked at the camera, "and the love of my life that I missed."

Missing it is a frustrating thing in itself.

"Really, that's such a pity, she must be a very good lady."

"I'm sorry, I should be entering." Akashi nodded and turned around.

The memories that have been dusty and no longer surging are opened in this way. He can't remember the last time he thought of that person. In these years, in order to take care of his studies and the company, Akashi Seijuro almost stopped, not to mention taking a break. There is no time to step down, and in the past year, Paris and Tokyo have been flying back and forth.The consortium turned around after death, and now the European industry has finally come to life. When I have the opportunity to touch my miss, I will inevitably feel a little uneasiness and strangeness in my mind.

At the celebration ceremony, Danno Ryutaro, the young owner of Danno Industry, announced his marriage to his girlfriend Masami Tachibana. He clapped his hands and looked at the two happy faces, and couldn't help thinking——

How is she doing now?

Once this question appeared in his mind, Akashi could no longer think about other things, so in order to gain a firm foothold, he avoided all things related to her, as if temporarily closing a door in his heart, completely from his mind dug it out, and buried it in.

What he doesn't want to admit is that maybe in another 100 years, she will still be the person he misses the most.

--------------

It was four in the morning in Los Angeles again. I chose this major from the beginning and didn't feel that there was any opportunity for me to sleep well during the project.I turned off the computer, kicked the desk and moved the chair back, stood up and leaned on the door and window, opened the blinds and looked outside. Look at the bright lights, we are really a model overtime industry.

"Hey, wake up." I pushed Hongcun, who fell back on the chair and drooled.

"Huh? Ah, you're done?" He immediately straightened up in shock, "I...I'll be fine soon."

"Forget it, go back and rest for a day, and come back tomorrow to do the finishing work. I'll talk to the people in the head office." I clapped my palms to wake up everyone who was already drowsy, "Heyguys, wakeup. Take one day off and come back here tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Hayley."

"Byebye, Hayley."

They stood up one by one, said goodbye to me, then yawned and carried their bags and went out the door. Hongcun was still standing beside me, I sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said Said: "Go, let the driver take you back on the way."

He opened his mouth wide and let out a long yawn, then squinted his small eyes and looked at me, "To be honest, I sometimes very doubt whether you are an AI?"

"Have you ever seen an AI with a cane?" I poked his calf with the cane.

"It took four years of study to get enough credits to graduate from a major. You took a year off from school and graduated with the same class," he pressed the elevator for me, "and you became a partner with Chihiro when you were in school. , come on, you were only 19 years old at that time, and you also stayed up until four in the morning, why are you so awake?"

"Maybe I'm very talented," I walked into the elevator with one leg leading the other. "After all, it's rare to see people as talented as me."

And I used to accuse God of unfairness in creating man because of the same problem.

"That's a genius, you've been pure and ascetic for so many years. If you don't like Chihiro, you should get to know someone else." Hongcun told me the same thing that Himuro said to Dai.

"Look. It's not easy for people with disabilities to find a partner." I pointed to my leg, "The guy who hit me up basically dismissed me instantly when he saw my cane, and why must he fall in love? I live so well by myself. Look at the big house I just bought. I have a driver to pick me up and go to and from work. Have you ever seen a 23-year-old woman who is as good as I am? Can I earn more than Vulcan? Look at him. The Lakers haven't said anything yet."

"It's a bunch of nonsense, I can't tell you." Hongcun opened the car door, let me sit in first, and then sat in the back seat.

"Hey, look, the sun will rise soon." I opened the window, "I've been seeing you every day lately, it's nothing unusual."

The sun is hidden below the sea level in the distance, and the dark sky seems to change its face in a second.

"I hope Kobe can learn about the profession of a coder," Hong Cun combed his hair back, "so that he won't be ashamed to say the phrase "Have you ever seen Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning", yes , of course I’ve seen it, and I see it every day.”

"Speaking of this, I advise you to avoid combing your hair back like this," I teased, "Do you know what code farmers have in common? They all have very short hair."

"Come here, Mandao, you're amazing as a senior's boss, hey." He reached out to rub my head.

I put my hand against him with my cane instead, and then stuck out my tongue, "I am your boss, if you refuse to accept it, come and bite me."

When I get home, I still habitually turn on the economic news in the East Asia section, and then I don’t need to pay special attention to me to see the surname that still makes my nose sour.Five years have passed since the landslide. The first four years were a recovery period, neither long nor short. It was just enough for a dying person to stand up, and the next year was enough for a person to stand firm. heel.

Akashi Seijuro naturally lived up to expectations and became a god in the eyes of others, and I have nothing dissatisfied with this.

At least I haven't wasted any of my own talents in my respective lives, and everything bestowed by that surname makes me live in a better posture.Apart from this leg which is probably impossible to become flexible in a lifetime, I, Haruka Manshima, should be considered quite a successful person.

It’s just that when I think of him, I still can’t move forward. Memory is like a vine. If I don’t pay attention, I will climb up the human body. I can’t walk fast, so I can only avoid memories.

Over time, I almost forgot how much I love this person.

It was past three o'clock in the afternoon when I went to bed and woke up. I dragged my body, which was so numb from sleep, I got up from the bed, and walked out of the room wrapped in a blanket.A man in a suit with short gray hair neatly combed is standing in my kitchen with an apron on, and a freshly made beef burger is frying in a hot pan. If you don’t know us, you will probably misunderstand us. relationship.

This person who looks like an elite person is currently a hot tech upstart in Europe, America and East Asia. He is also my partner in the KG Los Angeles branch. Everyone knows his name, Dai Qianxun.

Compared with his daily excited appearance when I just came back from Okinawa, Dai, who has been with me for a year, is already very calm.

Okay, I also admit that this kind of behavior of being a spare tire without complaint or regret is not calm at all.

"Atobe called you just now, and I picked it up for you," he put the plate in front of me, "He said he wanted you to work on a project that was supposed to be handed over to me."

"No," I resolutely refused, "Is he crazy? Our whole group has been busy all night until we are about to die suddenly. May I ask Keigo Atobe if he is still human?"

Dai cut the meat for me with a knife and fork across from me. I was a little distracted looking at him for a while, and I seemed to have become the 15-year-old Haruka Mitsushima. [1]

"In that case, I'll help you reply to him..." He said as he was about to send a message.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look at what it is." I took a bite of the meat, and then pointed at him with a fork.

"Okay," he wiped his hands on the apron twice, turned around and went to the sofa to get his mobile phone, lowered his head and pressed it twice and handed it back to me, "this is it."

If God has been watching me, then he really did it on purpose.

I looked at the document on the screen that was made by me back then, and at the project name set by Akashi Seishomi, I gradually clenched my fists, and then laughed out loud. Who can understand my current mood, I seem to be A silent guardian angel watching out for someone who will one day come back to me for help.

It was too late, I told Akashi Seitomi that I would stand up and show him, but unfortunately he couldn't see it long ago.

But if I stand in front of that person in this way, I will no longer be an accessory. I have managed to live a life that belongs to Haruka Manshima, so if I stand in an equal world, will I see it? to the same thing as him.

I am looking forward.

Probably thinking that I might be going crazy, Dai Qianxun frowned, poured a glass of water for me who was choking from laughing, and said while patting me on the back: "I have seen this plan, If it hadn’t been discontinued five years ago, it should have been an epoch-making product.”

"Senior," I calmed down, "Although there is no sign on it, I should tell you that I wrote this plan."

He opened his eyes slightly to look at me.

"Yes, I wrote it before I left Akashi's house," I casually mentioned something that no one else knew, "I drafted the entire project proposal for Akashi Seisho. Our partner is the Akashi Foundation."

"Then..." He hesitated.

"So, I'm going to do it, it's mine, and I'm not going to let anyone make it go away like it did then." I laughed, "It's for me."

"Yao," after eating, he sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, still looking at me with his cold but gentle eyes, "then I am the only one who lost in this marathon in the end."

Saying anything is meaningless, I have understood this truth for a long time.He pressed the cigarette butt to stand up, reached out and hugged me from behind, his arms wrapped around my shoulders, and his cheeks were pressed against the side of my face, touching his suppressed emotions intentionally or unintentionally. Unable to feel the danger of an adult man in this situation, I stood where I was, and he put his entire weight on my shoulders.

"Senior, if I did it with you in this situation," I said calmly, "What have you gained, and what have I lost?"

Finally he let go and did nothing more.

We are also trying our best to numb our nerves with work, and then forget about these things.

--------------

If a person is hopeful but untouchable, it will not be so painful. It is precisely because Man Daoyao will always stand by her side, as a friend, as a school girl, but not as a lover. Chihiro himself is to blame, he understands.

When he was about to graduate, he was dragged into a friendship by Himuro, and took advantage of the opportunity to have a girlfriend for a short time. The girl is a Japanese ABC, and she looks a bit like her when she smiles.He is not a girl's first boyfriend, but she is his first girlfriend.On the night of their first time, when the two of them were about to reach the peak, Dai Qianxun called out other people's names very thoughtlessly.

And this is no one else but her.

Yao, he hugged the woman's soft body and called out her name.

Unsurprisingly, of course, he received a loud slap in the face, and the tingling sensation on his cheek woke him up. After that, the girl swore to never have any contact with him again.It's no wonder that since then Dai Qianxun, who has never been in a relationship since then, has been labeled as a heartbreaker for no reason. After spreading the word, no girl is willing to approach him again.

I just had a good time.

This was his first reaction.

Haruka Mandao, who was in the same situation as him, also became a rare only seedling in the university because of his eye-catching cane, so it doesn't matter if he is just a partner. Dai Qianxun believes that if he can stand with her at least two people, he should be able to be with She becomes a person in a world.He remembered that once Mitsushima finally mentioned her past clearly, not embellishing the symbolic storyline, but simply talking about what Akashi Seijuro saved her from.

She was adopted by the Akashi family to live for Akashi Seijuro.

It turned out that she lost at the starting line, Dai smiled self-deprecatingly, no matter what partner or relationship, the only thing she couldn't match was his eyes that only she could understand.

After receiving the BN plan, Man Daoyuan was far more motivated than expected, on the one hand because it was what she wanted to do that year, and on the other hand because it was what that person wanted to do for her now.

"It's a movie of three people, but I can't have a name..." Never thought that Dai Qianxun would express her emotions with an old love song one day.

For him, there are too many unexpected things. He never expected to meet her on the spring day of the third year of high school, and unexpectedly met her again on the autumn day of the third year of junior high school. God seemed to be joking with him all the time, leaving all precious opportunities to him, Then he told him with the facts that no amount of chance would be of use.

Fuck you bastard god!

What's more, he never expected that he would use words starting with F to scold the gods above his head.
