Breakup Master Practice Manual [Comprehensive]

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening after Yakai Riho and Edogawa Ranpo went back.

Because I had already promised my father and the school that I would stay here for two days. After all, I still have things to do, and I also asked President Yukichi Fukuzawa, so I will stay in the spare dormitory of the detective agency tonight.

Walking around with the other party all day is already a lot of exercise for her, and she thought she would be very tired, but after washing, Mihai Riho lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. A pair of moist green eyes.

So appointed to get up and turn on the light, ready to drink water, and then heard the phone ring.

The caller - Nakahara Chuya.

"Haven't you slept yet?"

"Ah."

Yakai Riho answered the phone with one hand, and filled the cup with the other.

"I can't sleep."

"That's it."

After saying this, the other party seemed to hesitate for a while, and then said: "...Do you want to come out?"

"This time?"

Yakai Riho subconsciously took down the phone and looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock.

When he put it back to his ear, he heard the other party add——

"Ask whatever you want, if you can't do it, forget it."

"It's not impossible."

He couldn't fall asleep anyway, Yakai Riho asked after drinking his saliva, "Where are you?"

After a pause on the other side, he said, "It's just downstairs from you."

Yakai Riho choked on the water in shock.

She hurriedly put down her water glass and went to the window, pulled the curtains aside, opened the window and looked down, just in time to see the orange-haired young man looking up from the phone.

The other party was still dressed in black formal attire as usual, and the blue eyes under the brim of the hat were extremely bright in the darkness, and when he looked up, it seemed to reflect the stars in the night sky.

"...I'll come down right away."

After saying this, Yakai Riho hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to answer, and began to change clothes in a hurry.

Within a few minutes, she straightened her hair with one hand and took a coat with the other, and went down.

Nakahara, who was waiting, leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets, his head hanging down as if in a daze, and he straightened up immediately after noticing her passing by.

As warm as the sun is during the day, as cold as the wind at night.

Yakai Riho suddenly remembered that the first time they met, it was also at night. After returning from a business trip, the other party drove directly to the downstairs of her house and invited her to go out for dinner.

But at that time, she was full of nervousness, struggling all the way how to break up, and finally failed.

But now his mood was surprisingly calm.

Yakai Riho found that there was no car next to the other party this time, that is to say, he came over.

"When did you come here?"

Nakahara Chuya's eyes drifted to the side: "I wanted to go to the bar for a drink, but suddenly thought of coming over halfway, and just saw the light in your room turned on, so I tried to make a phone call..."

Yakai Riho let out an 'oh' and found that the other party didn't actually answer her question.

"So how long have you been here?"

Then the orange-haired young man in front of him fell silent, with an unnatural expression on his face. After noticing her gaze, he reached out and pressed the brim of his hat, as if trying to block his eyes.

Seeing that she didn't intend to skip this topic at all, she said helplessly, "I came here in the evening."

So why didn't you call yourself until now?

However, Yakai Riho didn't continue to ask any further questions, seeing that the other party didn't want to talk more.

"Sorry, I didn't notice you when I came back at night."

Nakahara Chu also lowered his eyelids, no longer looking at the girl who was always unexpectedly considerate sometimes.

Naturally, he failed to notice because he was standing in a blind spot when they came back.

Obviously, he had been mentally prepared for a day, but he still subconsciously avoided the moment he saw the other party.

Then, like a fool, he blew the cold wind for several hours, and struggled for a long time. He was about to leave the darkened room, and pretended not to know before she found her, but the light turned on again.

Letting out a breath slowly, Zhong Yuanzhong, who wanted to change the subject, said without thinking too much: "Would you like to have a drink?"

Sorry after that.

"No..." His expression seemed a little annoyed, "Do you want to go for a walk?"

Yakai Riho thought about what the other party said before and planned to go to the bar for a drink, so she said, "I can drink with you, but I have never been to a bar."

"It's not necessary to go to the bar, I have some wine in there."

and many more……

Inviting women to drink at his home in the middle of the night seems to have malicious intentions.

"Ahhh——" Nakahara took off his top hat and squatted down, holding the hat in one hand and grabbing his hair irritably with the other, messing up the orange hair that was originally arranged, "Sorry, what you said just now did not hear……"

"sure."

Yakai Riho agreed very calmly, as if she didn't feel wrong at all.

The unexpected answer made Zhongyuan Zhong also suddenly stop talking, he stopped the right hand that was still ravaging/rashing the hair, and after a few seconds of silence, he immediately frowned and said in a bad tone: "You know what I just said What? In the middle of the night..."

"Didn't I say it before?" Yakai Riho also squatted down and looked directly at the other party's blue eyes full of anger, "Because it's Chuya, it doesn't matter."

"Chuya said, you won't lie to me, I can trust you."

Seeing the other party's dazed appearance, she couldn't help lowering her brows and revealing a soft smile.

"Also, people who are sick and in a bad mood can have privileges."

"So, it's okay to have a drink with you." She stretched out her hand and raised a finger, "But there's only one glass, and I don't drink very well."

The orange-haired young man in front of him was silent for a few seconds. After a long time, he raised his left hand and put his hat in front of his face to hide his expression. He seemed to be muttering something in a low voice, but Yakai Riho didn't hear clearly, so he asked in confusion: " What?"

"I said..." Zhong Yuanzhong also removed the hat in front of him and put it on his head. The expression on his face had returned to calm, and his reddish ear tips were hidden in the darkness.

Perhaps the moonlight was too gentle, reflecting in those jewel-like blue eyes, it melted away the usual arrogance and unruliness, and precipitated a quiet softness.

"You're an idiot."

He stood up, stretched out his right hand to the girl who was still squatting on the ground, raised his eyebrows slightly, and had a youthful smile on his lips: "Get up, my wine collection is very rich, let me show you."

As Nakahara Nakaya said, his wine collection is extremely rich, which surprised Yakai Riho when he saw it for the first time.

A variety of precious red wines are stored in mahogany cabinets, and the innumerable quantities are extremely spectacular.

However, although it was knowledge, the other party did not introduce his collection one by one.

The temperature inside the wine cellar was colder than the night outside, Yakai Riho couldn't help shivering.

Zhong Yuanzhong, who came back with a bottle of wine, also noticed it and took off his coat and covered her.

"You're not interested in these, are you?"

Not only is she not interested, but even if she introduces it, she may not understand it. She doesn't know much about wine.

Yakai Riho silently acquiesced.

There was a small bar in the wine cellar. She sat on a high stool and watched the other party play a piece of soothing music, then took out two wine glasses.

"Just drink it if you think it tastes good."

After Zhong Yuanzhong also poured the wine, he handed one of the glasses to her.

"It's Romanee's '64 vintage."

Doesn't say much about what it's worth.

Yakai Riho doesn't like drinking, and she's not used to the bitterness that burns in her throat, but after taking a sip of the wine in the glass, she froze for a moment.

"Delicious."

Just two words, Zhong Yuanzhong, who was standing aside with a wine bottle, laughed, then poured himself a glass and sat down.

"nice! You love it."

"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've brought someone here to drink together." He looked at the red wine in the glass that was shining under the light, and said after taking a sip, "I always wanted to bring you here, but I thought of you I gave it up when I was a minor and didn't like drinking."

"But today is a special day."

Both of them knew what special day it was.

The lights in the wine cellar are retro and dim, and the mellow wine fragrance wafts in the air.

Yakai Riho turned the goblet in her hand, but did not speak.

"Did you go out with that guy from the detective agency today?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask was whether they had broken up.

"Ah."

Yakai Riho took another sip of the wine, and then talked about today's events. By the end of the talk, the level of wine in the glass had been reduced by more than half.

"...In the end, I broke up with Ranbu."

Zhong Yuan, who had already finished his glass, picked up the bottle and poured it again.

"So, it's my turn next, isn't it?"

Yakai Riho looked at the orange-haired young man with an extremely calm tone in bewilderment, but the other party didn't look at him, and drank the wine in the glass alone.

"Why did you fall in love with me in the first place?"

"Because Zhongye is gentle and cute."

Yakai Riho, who had drunk a lot, remembered the first encounter, and couldn't help but bend her lips just thinking about it.

"It's obviously a mafia."

At the beginning, he was frightened when he saw the other party's fried hair talking loudly, but he understood when he froze and felt at a loss because of his frightened appearance.

This person may be surprisingly gentle.

"That's why I dare to push an inch."

Step by step, he tried this orange-haired young man who treated her carefully even though he thought he was troublesome.

When he saw the other party blushing because of his praise and turned his head awkwardly, even if the brim of the hat could not be concealed, it seemed as if he had found some trick and couldn't help but feel his heart scrambling. Praise him solemnly, see him obviously happy and shy but trying to pretend to be natural, every time at this time, although I don't show it on the face, but in my heart I am screaming.

"I dare to say it."

Zhong Yuanzhong also snorted, lowered his eyes as if remembering something and said casually: "You are the only one who thinks so."

"It's clearly true."

"But you still want to break up with me, don't you?"

The sudden words made the air instantly quiet.

The brain was stimulated by the word "breakup", and Mikai Riho, who was already smoky, was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, feeling a little sad and guilty in her heart, opened her mouth and then closed it limply.

Then I saw the other party take out a familiar red velvet gift box from his arms, open it and push it in front of her.

——Inside it was the sapphire necklace that she was going to give to her but was rejected.

"Didn't you say you liked sapphires before?"

"I picked it up on a business trip in Italy and thought you'd be happy."

"...Actually, I'm not particularly interested in gems and jewelry."

Yakai Riho said it very honestly.

She is not used to wearing jewelry.

The sapphires on the bar are dazzling, even if you have seen them before, you will inevitably be shaken for a moment.

Her head was a little dazed by the alcohol, she reached out and rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked at Chuya Nakahara, who was a little stunned by her words.

"I didn't particularly like blue either."

"At that time, it was just because I was dazzled by your beauty."

Looking at the orange-haired young man with slightly wide-open eyes, she rested her chin with one hand, half-closed her eyes lazily, with a light arc on her lips.

"I said it before—Chuya's eyes are very beautiful, like sapphires."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also deeply impressed by this, and immediately thought of it. He looked at the girl with an abnormal red complexion, and squeezed the hand holding the goblet slightly.

"That's why you said you like sapphires?"

"Well, but I think I was wrong then."

Yakai Riho looked at the complex blue eyes that were as beautiful as the deep sea under the light, and praised in an extremely sincere tone: "Chuya's eyes are obviously more beautiful than any gemstones."

The phalanx contracted uncontrollably, Nakahara Chuya looked at the girl who said this sentence very naturally, and his breathing became disordered.

After the other party finished speaking, he took another sip of the wine that was about to bottom out, and his black eyes were brighter than usual.

After being silent for a while, he stretched out his left hand and put it on the back of the other's hand holding the wine glass, restraining his thoughts of clenching it tightly, his voice hoarse.

"Do you know what you just said?"

"Ok?"

Mihai Riho looked at him blankly.

"Kua Zhong also has beautiful eyes."

The heart was beating irregularly, beating the weak will again and again.

But the culprit had an extremely normal expression on his face, with a little confusion.

Zhong Yuan also let go of his hand and turned to the wine glass in her hand, took it and drank the remaining wine in one gulp.

Seeing the girl's unbelievable and aggrieved look as if she was being robbed, he lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "You're drunk."

Yakai Riho repeated in a daze: "Am I drunk?"

She withdrew her hand trying to take back the wine glass, and asked in a low voice, "Then I look weird now, don't I?"

"Not surprisingly."

Nakahara looked at the girl who was more honest than usual in a drunken state, and gathered the slightly slipped black coat from her body.

Then lowered his eyebrows and rubbed the other person's head, his lowered tone was extremely gentle.

"Not surprising at all."

"But I remember when I was drunk before..."

Yakai Riho struggled, pressed her head and began to recall, but couldn't remember anything.

"I remember feeling very regretful the next day."

"Then you still dare to drink with me."

Zhong Yuanzhong also twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly.

"Because you are very unhappy."

Mihai Riho frowned: "You are already very unhappy, so even if it's only a little bit, I want to make you happy."

"You know why I'm upset."

Zhongyuan also poured wine into his cup again.

"……Know."

Yakai Riho said in a depressed mood: "But this has been decided from the beginning."

"I'm breaking up with everyone."

The originally mellow red wine seemed to have become extremely bitter, almost unpalatable.

The wine in the glass was about to overflow, and Zhong Yuanzhong also silently stopped pouring the wine, put the wine bottle aside, and did not take the already filled wine glass.

He closed his eyes, and his blue eyes filled with various emotions were covered under them.

It's really... embarrassing.

Desperately trying to catch... but in the end, he could only watch the other party leave.

And there was nothing in his hands.

Yakai Riho felt drowsy continuously, but she didn't finish what she wanted to say.

She reached out to grab his sleeve, but only caught a piece of warm wrist, and then realized that the coat that the other party was originally wearing was on her body.

"Let's break up, Chuya."

The person caught by her didn't reply right away, a soundless silence spread in the air, and the almost oppressive atmosphere made it almost impossible to breathe.

Yakai Riho tried to keep her eyelids open, resisting the drowsiness and insisting on hearing the answer.

"……I understand."

Nakahara Zhong also opened his eyes and saw the other party's eyelids shrugged due to sleepiness, nodding his head from time to time, and then stood up after releasing the strength on his wrist.

"I'll let you go this time."

He looked at the girl who closed her eyes because of his words, put one hand on her shoulder, the other on the back of her head, and put the belt in his arms. He didn't move for a long time, and finally lowered his eyes slightly. He restrained himself and dropped a kiss on the top of her hair, then picked her up and walked outside.

"But no one said that you can't get it back."

The girl nestled in his arms had completely fallen into a deep sleep, with one hand unconsciously grasping his clothes, breathing evenly.

Zhong Yuanzhong also folded his hands holding each other, his steps were steady, and all the emotions in his blue eyes were calm.

"It's my turn next time."

After putting Yakai Riho on the bed in the room and covering him with a quilt, Nakahara Chuya returned to the wine cellar.

The leftover sapphire necklace lay alone on the bar.

He picked up the necklace with the other party's name engraved on the clasp, put it back into the gift box, and paused again when he was about to close it.

With his fingers resting on the lid of the box, he hesitated for a while and took out the card under the splint.

Zhong Yuanzhong also stroked the exquisite card with delicate texture, stared at the writing on it, and then pressed it under the gemstone.

He sat back on the high stool in silence, took out the cigarette case and lit one, just held it between his fingers, didn't smoke, just quietly watched it burn.

Habits are not so easy to change.

He doesn't smoke in front of Yakai Riho because he doesn't like the smell of cigarettes and tries to quit.

But now they are broken up when they have almost quit.

However, even so, at this time he subconsciously resisted not wanting to smoke.

I'm afraid that when I get close, I will see the unconscious frown of the other party.

He didn't touch the overflowing red wine glass again.

Repeatedly watching the cigarettes in the pack being lit and burned out one by one.

The air was filled with a pungent and heavy smell of smoke, covering up the original aroma of wine, and there were one after another burnt and crushed cigarette butts scattered in the ashtray.

Zhong Yuanzhong also threw the empty cigarette case inside.

Finally, I took a look at the beautiful card that I had practiced for a long time.

Obviously just saw it by accident, but subconsciously wrote it down.

With a secret expectation, write this sentence in Italian on a card and put it under the plywood of the gift box, waiting for the other party to discover and inquire about the meaning of this sentence.

I've been anxious about her reply since I wrote it down, but in the end I didn't even send it.

[Tiamo.]

I love you.

[Voglio Stare contepersempre.]

I want to be with you forever.
