I broke free from Zero's hand.

"What the hell are you doing?" I stood between the man and Zero. "Even if you are a boss, you can't beat and kick your subordinates so casually. We can sue for such violations of human rights."

The man felt a sense of astonishment similar to being ready to accept a triangular twist but was hit by a milk bottle, and he nervously tortured his poor brim.

"Sue, sue? Little girl, I beg you, what do you know? How much effort does the country have to spend to cultivate a talent like Jiang Gu? What are you doing? You've got him confused, I forgot who I was."

Zero asked me to go behind him, but I shook off his hand on my shoulder and refused.

"I know that Zero is working as a police officer, but there are so many police officers in Japan, why don't they marry for the sake of the country? The minister of countermeasures against birth rate reduction committed suicide to show you how to have children without getting married to cope with the aging population and the lack of young labor force?"

I slapped Zero's chest again, and after two slaps, I remembered that I had been beaten here before, so I pretended that I couldn't do it anymore.

"There is also zero, I just said that I will not get married, why do I argue with my boss because of this kind of thing, I have a lot of things to do myself, and my grandmother will make such a rude request when she is injured, you don't have to take it to heart .”

Zero silently grabbed the hand I wanted to take back, and pressed it against the shy smile on his lips.

The man also looked at me with a wry smile and shook his head again and again.

"What are you doing, Jiang Gu Ling, this girl is so young, she doesn't understand anything, you are so touched that you have handled it well? Why do you put her in danger, her family let you get married ? Does her family know what you are doing? Will they let you stay together if they know?"

He held the ring under Zero's eyes to show him.

"Why are you grabbing this? You think I'm married if I wear it on my ring finger. You want to remind me that I also have women. Why should I interfere with you?"

The man withdrew his ring, snorted heavily, and paced in front of us.

"No, nothing. I'm not so irresponsible. It is true that some colleagues are married and have children. The family members don't know what he is doing, but we are different from them. You sign the plan and pay more than them. So much more, just for the sake of being able to keep up like this?"

He took the ring back, and when he was not talking, he was a gloomy and non-existent man again.

"I'm leaving. I can't say anything more. Think for yourself. I'll give you the authority to tell this little girl's family members. It's just to solve the problem more simply. Let them keep their mouths in check in the future, so you can take care of yourself." Hear what people will think when they find out."

The hunched figure leaned against the wall and walked out, the frequency of his legs moving was very low, but the figure disappeared very quickly. When I think about his appearance again, I can't remember anything other than ordinary.

"Pear."

Zero suddenly called my name, and the call was even a bit coquettish. It seemed that he had to call me when he was in extreme pain, and it seemed that he would only confide after the extreme intimacy.

"Pearl, pear."

He hugged me, buried his head on my neck, his tea-blond hair rubbed against my ears, and he was so sad that my heart would explode. I wanted to beg him to stop crying like a cub The only beast-like voice that can protect itself.

"Pearl, pear, pear."

I want to cut open my chest, so that he can really see that the beating heart and bleeding blood are all him, so that he will not make such painful calls for me again.

Why are you calling my name in this tone, Zero is afraid of something.Just as I know how much he loves me, he also knows how much I love him, no matter what, I will always be with him, but this will not solve his grief.

"I'm here, what's the matter, Zero."

I put my hand on his arm that held me, and held him in the same way he hugged me, hoping that he would hide away from everything that was causing him pain.

But my words seemed to wake him up from his dream, Zero stopped calling my name, and let go of his arms holding me.

"What am I doing?"

He whispered to himself, and the confusion faded away from him like a tide, before Zero got up completely.I turned around and took him back into my arms.

"no problem, no problem."

I kept repeating this sentence like a fool, whether I was saying that it doesn't matter if he is weak, or telling him not to care about his boss, I didn't know very well.This time, Zero silently accepted, and he hugged me, making it easier for me to stroke his hair.

This is such a good opportunity, I hesitated to ask all the questions, but in the end I didn't ask, I think I'm more afraid of him talking than he told me everything.

The boss clearly told my grandmother to allow it, that is, other people are not allowed. I asked him when he was not defensive, and let Ling how to deal with himself. This is not allowed to appear, which proves that the boss treats me How right is the rejection.

"Miss Kubo, excuse me."

I completely forgot that I was in the hospital until the nurse came to call me with a shy face, and I don't know how long the two of us have been by the window like this.

"Tomoko Kubo's condition is almost stable. She doesn't need to stay in intensive care. A nurse will transfer her to 2307 in a while. As long as she rests, there will be no major problems."

I patted Zero on the shoulder lightly, and he put me down knowingly.

"Excuse me, we will go there now."

Xiang Zhizi's sleeping face is very peaceful. I used a small comb to comb her messy hair, so that she would not worry about being seen by others when she woke up.

There was an unhurried knock on the door in the house. I thought it was Zero going shopping, so I said it without raising my head.

"Come in."

The chaotic and multiple footsteps made me feel something was wrong.

"I heard that the operation is over, so I came to have a look." Mogami Kotomi followed her assistant and several doctors in white coats. "The operation is very urgent, so I don't have time to change it. I have consulted some of the most authoritative doctors in Tokyo for follow-up care."

It is worthy of the temperament of a successful person all over the body, and the moment I opened my mouth, I got stuck in a place that I couldn't refuse.

"About the operation fee, I will definitely pay you back." After the doctors exchanged greetings and left the ward, this was the first thing I thought of. "Grandma's attitude towards my father must be clear to Ms. Mogami. If you don't accept the money, it will only make her feel humiliated. I hope Ms. Mogami will stop torturing an old man like this."

She looked at me in a daze, wondering if she had listened carefully to what I said so strongly on purpose, opened her bag and took out a bracelet that was very similar to the bracelet on my wrist.

"See if you like this style. I remember that my mother gave me a similar bracelet when I was a child. I found it when I got home yesterday."

Qin Mei's eagerness overwhelmed me, I didn't take the bracelet, and looked to her assistant for help, hoping that he could communicate.

The assistant came out and smoothed things over with a smile.

"Miss Kubao, don't say that, as long as you don't tell the old man, the matter will be over? The chairman really loves you, and I hope you can live better."

This and the muddy attitude made me understand that if you don't show more determination, you won't be able to drive them away.

"Even if grandma thinks it doesn't matter, I don't want to use such a large amount of money from unrelated people. You may not lack these, and we don't. At this time, it is more comfortable to use your own than others."

Qinmei gave the assistant a wink, and the assistant immediately took out a proof of identity relationship and put it in front of me. It was the identity relationship certificate issued by the district office, and Mogami Kotomi and I marked the stepmother-daughter relationship.

Isn't this really a joke? I'm about to swear. What does the relationship on the household registration have to do with people's emotions.

In the final analysis, why did that man's wife insist on recognizing me as a daughter? Didn't she always keep a distance and respect each other like a guest.

"This may be the first time you've seen me." Qin Mei understood my expression. "But I visit you every few months, from a place you don't know, Aunt Kubo forbids us to meet."

She put the bracelet back in her bag.

"Every time you grow one year old, or when you celebrate any festival, I will send you gifts, but I didn't know until this time that Aunt Kubao never gave you anything."

Qin Mei sat next to me, and the distance between our bodies exceeded the distance that people who meet for the first time should keep.

"I still remember when you were in junior high school. At that time, you liked to tie double ponytails. I had someone customize a headband. Unfortunately, I never saw it on your head. I thought you didn't like me, which is why these little girls like me the most. I don’t want to wear luxury goods on my body, so it’s because of this.”

I got up to avoid her, knowing that my grandmother would not let her see me, talking to her now felt like betraying Katoko.

"Even if my grandmother gave it to me, I wouldn't wear it. That's why my grandmother didn't tell me."

When she looked at me, she smelled like a mother. Sitting like that, I couldn't bear to continue to say more serious words.

"Chairman, there is a call here." The assistant saw that the atmosphere was deadlocked, and hurried forward to smooth things over. "Please go out and pick it up, this is very important."

After she went out, I put away the comb, thinking about not letting Xiang Zhizi see her affect my mood.

"Did I hear an outsider's voice just now?" Just thinking about this, Xiang Zhizi slightly opened her eyes on the bed. "Who's here?"

I sat on the bed and coaxed her.

"Who is there? You heard me wrong. I'm the only one here. Take a good rest."

Xiang Zhizi held me with her skinny hand, so that she could speak with peace of mind.

"Where is the valley?"

"He went to eat something and brought it back to me." She took the initiative to mention Zero, and I had to talk about a certain issue. "Grandma, please don't talk about marriage again."

Xiang Zhizi's expression immediately became serious, and she took my hand hard.

"There's nothing you can't say. It's too late to get married now. At that time, there were plenty of children at your age."

Now I am most afraid that she will be angry, so I softened my voice by another octave.

"But that time was then, and now is now. I'm still in college and I really don't want to get married. Zero is graduating this year. It's time to fight for my career. When I settle down in the future, it's good to take things slowly."

The old man's hand left mine, and Katoko sighed heavily.

"I don't know if I can wait until that time."

The strong Xiang Zhizi never showed her haggardness in front of me, but now she is showing weakness.

"At that time, the little idiot from the Hecun family panicked and rushed towards me with a knife. What I thought was, it's a good thing that Huali came back late today, otherwise what would I do if I ran into this dizzy idiot? The blood spurted After he came out, he ran away in fear. I couldn’t stand up, and I felt better when I took the initiative to fall to the ground, and I felt very proud. Hecun raised children to be like this. My Huali is very sensible, and I worked hard to pass the professional chess exam hands."

Just waking up from anesthesia, talking so much was still too exhausting for Kichiko, so she took a breath before continuing.

"There was more and more blood, and I was suddenly scared. It was the first time in my life that I was so scared. If I died like this, what would happen to you when you went home and saw my dead body? I always thought you were too young to teach me anything. Here, what to do if you are cheated, what to do if you are taught badly by bad people."

I lay on her lap like I did when I was a child, holding back my sobs.

"I will not be deceived, I am very smart, and I will not be taught by bad people, because it will embarrass grandma, you will not die, just keep looking at me."

Katoko's loving eyes shine on me.

"Grandmother is very old. She can't be with you forever. The one who can be with you forever is your husband."

"No one else." I said stubbornly. "I just want Tomoko, stay by your side and don't marry."

She stopped talking, and slowly stroked my back.

"I'm in."

Zero carried the bag of the convenience store and pushed open the door.

Xiang Zhizi watched me get up and take the things with a smile, and blamed me.

"Let her buy what she wants to eat, Jiang Gu, you love her too much."

"Hua Li wants to take care of you, of course I should do all these things." Ling Zizi finished responding to her grandmother's politeness, and then suddenly hesitated. "Also, there are things about myself that I must tell my grandmother."

I interrupted him abruptly.

"Zero, the bento you bought is spilled."

"You child, just spill it, don't eat it if you don't like it, it's impolite to interrupt others." Xiang Zhizi was dissatisfied with my rudeness, and immediately reprimanded me. "What's wrong with you? The older you get, the more reckless you become."

Fortunately, Zero has already understood what I mean, so he doesn't continue to mention the confession.

But the twists and turns of the day were not over yet, and the knock on the door sounded again, which shocked me.

"Come in."

The grandmother looked at her appearance through the window before responding.

Qin Mei held flowers in her arms, followed by the weak assistant.

"I heard that something happened to you, I'll come and see you."

Katoko stared at Kotomi displeased.

"Ms. Mogami, if you still remember what you promised me, you shouldn't be here now."

Qin Mei's assistant pretended not to hear the unkind words, and put the flowers on the low table on the other side of the ward.

I thought that Kotomi would argue with Tomoko, or mention the doctor's medical expenses, but she was tense, but Kotomi bowed her head to Tomoko docilely, and walked out without a word of rebuttal.

The moment I closed the door, I was sure she was looking at me, and I couldn't deny the gratitude for her patience that arose in my heart.

After talking with Tomoko, she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to rest. Zero and I went to the corridor after she was asleep.

"Grandmother is really worried about me. If you have anything to say, let her talk about it when she is more cultivated."

Zero stared at me, he didn't say 'yes' or 'bad', but I know he just doesn't refuse, Zero never likes to procrastinate when doing things, I'm too lazy to educate me instead, and now I will agree to this matter, thinking about it Be pessimistic about your grandmother's reaction.

"You didn't sleep last night. Go to a room next to the hospital to rest. I'll just watch over tonight."

Zero opened the window in the corridor, and the wind blew his white shirt, and the girls passing by under the window couldn't help but look up at him.

"It's more convenient for me to accompany you in bed. You haven't rested for a long time. Go to sleep later." In fact, it's okay to go back to work. These words spun around my mouth and returned to my stomach. "There is still money. Senior Zhu Fu called 700 million. Now that grandma is awake, the money has to be returned. Am I going to call the transfer account directly?"

The violent vibration of the mobile phone interrupted Zero's reply. He put the mobile phone to his ear, and a profound shock appeared on his clear face.

"Sorry, Huali, I have to leave now."

After Ling hung up the phone, he went back to the house to get his coat, and I followed behind to ask.

"I'm fine here, you can go to work at ease, what happened?"

Difficulty is the most appropriate way to describe this voice, and Zero told me in a low voice.

"Senior was attacked on the way back to find me. It's been a while since I couldn't get in touch. He may have been killed. I'm going to the scene to check the situation now."

The man who questioned Zero not long ago died, my hairs stood up suddenly, Zero moved very fast, I saw his back leaving the gate of the hospital from a distance by the window.

Back in the ward, I lay down on the small bed in the companion room with my stomach full of worries, and unexpectedly fell asleep very quickly.

I woke up again because of the sound of something being smashed.

The small curtain that accompanies the bed was closed by someone, and I poked my head to look at the window, and the genius outside was dimly lit.

"You, you, you are a liar."

It was my grandmother's voice. She seemed to have been stimulated by something, and she was afraid of waking me up, so she tried her best to keep her voice down, panting several times before she finished speaking.

"Why did you provoke my granddaughter? You didn't say anything all the time. You were trying to lie to me for how long."

I gradually woke up and realized that it was Grandma talking to Zero outside.

Her voice quickly calmed down, and it was no longer as friendly as before.

"I beg you, don't harm my Huali, she can't be with someone like you."

As if falling into an ice cave, I got up from the bed and opened a little gap in the curtain.

"I know." He obediently agreed to Tomoko, without any sign of resistance. "I see what you mean."

This overly calm reaction might have frightened Kachiko, and her grandmother staggered off the bed.

"What do you want to do? I don't want Huali to be with you. Something is coming at me."

Why did Zero do something to me, Kichiko's abnormal reaction made my hair stand on end.

Because Zero confessed his identity to Tomoko?Who the hell is he.

Rei helped Katoko up and let her go back to bed.

"You are a good boy." Grandma said tearfully, supported by him. "But no elder would agree. Please forgive me. I just want her to be safe and happy."

I put down the curtain and went back to the bed, my heart sank infinitely, as if I wanted to rush out of my body.

Zero's silhouette appeared on the curtain, he confirmed to me.

"Huali, you're already awake, right?"

I don't answer, trying to avoid the conversation that will come up next.

He opened the curtain directly, just like every time he supervised me to finish my homework, I was not allowed to delay.

I exchanged glances with Zero, and he bent down to get my shoes.

This persistent attitude made me succumb. I pushed him away, put on my shoes, and walked out with Zero. I was still in front of the window where I was talking yesterday. I was full of panic, but he brought up a completely irrelevant topic.

"Hua Li, do you know about the Plaza Accord? In [-], the United States united with Britain, France, Germany and other countries to force Japan to sign an economic agreement on the grounds of maintaining the balance of the world economy."

I seemed to understand and nodded.

"It's said in the textbook."

It was the moment when the sun was rising outside the window, and under the orange-red light was a black-gray city, with zero-jaw tensed coldly.

"After that, due to the impact of the agreement, the exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar rose wildly, and the Japanese government was unable to control it. Domestic exports were fatally hit. With the manufacturing industry being hit so hard, funds chose to flow to the stock market and property market. "

What does this have to do with me?So what if you don't know?If the former Kawabata Yasunari, I can still understand what Zero want to express to me, this topic is completely unfamiliar to me, I listened to his words ignorantly.

Zero looked at me with pity in his eyes that I didn't understand at the moment.

"From 1990 to 39000, Japan's Nikkei stock hit a historical record close to [-] points, and land prices increased by [-]%. In order to curb the bubble, banks began to raise interest rates, and the government introduced property taxes, but all of them were useless. In [-], with the collapse of Japan's bubble economy, the Heisei Great Depression began."

Grandma was always lonely by herself, and I once advised her to make new friends and choose a suitable partner.She never concealed her disdain for her grandfather's choice of suicide, saying that he was weak, and that no one needed his death to bear the debt, but every time she faced my persuasion, she refused without hesitation.

I secretly thought many times that if there hadn’t been the Great Depression and the economic collapse, and my grandfather was still alive, we would be a family of three now, maybe my mother wouldn’t have died and my father wouldn’t have left, and that would be a family of five.

"This is what a disaster in a country will cause. It is a disaster for people living in this country. The happiness of countless families is destroyed in that era."

The morning sun shone on Ling's handsome face, his spine was straight, his tone was not heavy, but it carried a sonorous force.

"Hua Li, I want to be someone who can help Japan and protect this country when this country encounters a disaster. If something happens to Japan again, I want to do what I can do better than being swept away by the torrent of the times. More."

I understood what Zero wanted to say to me, because I understood, and the uncontrollable bitterness spread to my whole body.

"what about me?"

I cried, and my face was always wrinkled when I cried, and I didn't look good at all, so I didn't like crying in front of him.

"You want to protect Japan, yes, I am willing to support you, can't we go together?"

Zero stood silently, and only spoke when I thought he would end the conversation like this.

"Huali, the senior who came to see me yesterday, I can't tell you his name, he is dead."

Zero pulled out a ring from his pocket, which I recognized from the man from yesterday.

"He is the one responsible for training me into the job. I was supposed to take over his tasks under his guidance, but now I can only figure it out on my own."

Before I could remember to say some comforting words to Zero, he sneered and threw the ring out of the window. This behavior of desecrating the relics of the dead shocked me, and I couldn't agree with it. Zero saw my thoughts and stared at himself. Ring's hand opened and closed twice.

"He died on purpose. I rushed to the scene yesterday to investigate the cause of his death. I found that the business card box containing the bomb that caused his death had unsealed marks on the opening. Although it had been wiped, it was still extracted from the depression inside. His fingerprints."

I can't even imagine such a thing. After finding the bomb, I chose to put it back where it was, and waited for my own death.

"Why? He looked very energetic yesterday, why did he commit suicide?"

"Because no one can take over his job except me." Zero saw that I still didn't understand, so he said it more clearly. "He's dead. I have no choice but to go back so that things don't collapse."

It was crazy beyond imagination, just to force Zero to make a choice, he ended his life.

"This is my companion, the measure by which we do things."

The sky was about to brighten, and Ling leaned out of the window, immersed in the light and shadow of the rising sun.

"Don't meet again, Huali."

He confessed to me firmly and coldly, as sincerely as the love words he had confided to me so many times before.

"I will defend this country with my life, and I swear to give everything I have, because I love her so much, and you in her."

I couldn't accept it, so I pulled the sleeve of his shirt. He avoided my action for the first time, his eyes were still affectionate and loving.

"I will always love you, Huali."

He hugged me shallowly, just when I thought things had turned around again, I suddenly felt a pain in the back of my neck, and passed out just like that.

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on Xiangzhizi's hospital bed, and she leaned against the head of the bed and looked at me.

"What about zero?"

I got up and asked my grandmother.

Xiang Zhizi hugged me sideways, and reprimanded me severely with pity.

"Don't mention him in the future, just pretend that you haven't known him before."

I pushed Xiang Zhizi away and asked her back with tears in my eyes.

"How is it possible, how can I pretend that I have never known him before."

"Are you going to force me to death? Huali." Xiangzhizi knocked on the hospital bed in hatred. "How do you know this kind of person, what evil did I do to let you meet this kind of thing."

Grandma used to love Zero so much, now she hates him so much, she likes him because she thought he would bring me happiness, she hates him because she finds him dangerous, and I've had enough of that.

"It's me who likes him and wants to be with him. It's not him who provoked me. It's not you who committed crimes. It's the best thing for me to meet."

I picked up the phone next to the bed and got out of bed to put on my shoes.

"I'm going to find him. I don't accept this kind of irresponsible, unilateral separation when you say you can't be together."

Xiang Zhizi chased down from the bed, her injured body made her unable to walk steadily, even so she staggered and pulled me.

"Pear."

That old and old life looked at me sadly, carrying all her love and pain.

"Grandmother, please, Huali."

I can break away from her sickly body with a wave of my arm, but for me, this is also the heaviest retention in the world.

In the end, I still couldn't take the step out of the room.

After my grandmother was discharged from the hospital, I asked senior Zhu Fu out in the name of repaying the money.

"Our share of the money has already been returned to us, and Ms. Kubo doesn't need to return anything to me."

I stared at him speechlessly, senior Zhu Fu sideways avoided my gaze.

"That's it, I'm leaving."

The phone was not connected, the e-mail was lost, the senior zero did not go to school, the place of work was unknown, and the people who knew him avoided questions about him.

I know how ruthless this man who has always been gentle to me can be.

the first year

Ogiwara-senpai suddenly posted an obituary on his Twitter account. At the age of 22, he died in the bomb removal operation. I saw the tearful Matsuda-senpai in the bustling crowd of condolences.Senior Yi Da stood behind him silently.

the second year

I finally defeated Hikari Shindo before graduating from university, entered the title round for the first time, and became Kubo's seventh dan by relying on the promotion of the title.Recalling the shocking farce back then, the lady in charge of recording the chess records smiled and asked me why my boyfriend was not around.

The third year

One morning, Katoko closed her eyes forever, and I didn't tell anyone when I found out about it. I held her hand and stood by the bed until, with the tacit approval of my grandmother for two years, Kotomi, who often visited, rushed in Pulled me away, arranged the corresponding funeral affairs, and took me to a new residence.

fourth year

I found my first job after graduating from college, took up the role of coach, and at the same time semi-retired in the Go world, having dinner with a few familiar friends, no one saw me off when I got home, and no one waited for me when I got home.

fifth year

Matsuda’s senior account’s profile picture was changed to black and white. At the age of 26, he died protecting civilians while defusing bombs.At this funeral, I only saw Senior Date from a distance.

From the account of Senior Date's girlfriend, I learned the news of his unexpected death. After attending the funeral, I drank some wine and walked on the road in a daze. Seniors, so far all died in the line of duty.

eighth year

During a trip, I met my sand sculpture ex-boyfriend again. He not only changed his name, but also pretended not to know me.He pretended not to know me, and I didn't want to know him yet.

Is there any girl who can tolerate being dumped by her ex-boyfriend because he wants to serve the motherland better?It's better not to talk about this love.

Hello, Jianggu Zero.Hello, Toru Amuro.

Anyway, as long as you live, everything is fine.

The author has something to say: "Zero", a subsidiary organization of the Police Department's Security Planning Division, to which Rei Fuguya belongs, is a legendary organization. It is almost the same as the CIA in the United States and the KGB in Russia. To protect national security, it can be ignored to a certain extent. The law, that is, the 'right to review violations'.In film and television works, they mostly appear as villains who act violently and secretly.

The name at the beginning was 'Sakura', but after some events became known to the public, it was renamed 'Chiyoda', and then it was changed again. It is said that the name 'Zero' is no longer used.For Xiang Zhizi, who has experienced the war, the only intelligence organization that can be thought of is the notorious special high school. (In fact, from a system point of view, it cannot be equated at will)

Thanks to Li's egg, it's too expensive!
