24 Chapter 24

Perhaps it was because it was rare to have a full meal, or perhaps it was because the shock of escaping the orphanage was too great, so the Moon Beast, which usually only appeared on full moon nights, unexpectedly appeared at the beginning of the month.

But perhaps because of this, the Moon Beast did not struggle to escape like it did in the orphanage, sneaking into the vegetable garden to eat a lot, but slept peacefully under the bed.

Sleeping under the bed was not Yuexiamon's choice, but Nakajima Atsushi's decision - he felt more comfortable on the hard floor than on the soft bed - of course it might also be because he was used to sleeping on the floor of the confinement room.

As for why it is just under the bed, it is probably because although it is not as good as the cabinet, it also gives a sense of security of being wrapped up.

What's more, because it is cleaned frequently, there is not much dust accumulated under the bed.

It was just that the Moon Beast that suddenly appeared suffered a little torture. If he wanted to get out from under the bed at this moment, he would find that he had no way to leave under the bed without lifting the bed.

But the Moon Beast, who was sleeping soundly, had no intention of escaping at this time. In fact, the wooden boards around him just satisfied his desire to sharpen his claws. As for whether the bed would collapse the next day, it was not within his consideration.

Bailibian squatted down and watched quietly as the cat's claws scratched regularly at a slow speed, and saw that the supporting wooden board was getting thinner and thinner.

Should I wake him up?

This is a difficult problem.

It was already 3 a.m., less than four hours until dawn.

If this big cat who is addicted to sharpening its claws is not woken up and is allowed to continue doing so, the poor big cat will be woken up by the bed board before the sun comes out and the sky brightens.

But if you wake up this big cat...it might disturb its dreams and cause it to be grouchy when waking up.

But it seems that nothing serious will happen.

But this behavior may make the big cat have less favorable impression of him!

Just when Bailibian was struggling with his conscience, the big cat disappeared and was replaced by Nakajima Atsushi who was sleeping soundly.

What a thoughtful big cat, it can actually make its own choices.

Judging from the fact that the supporting bed board was seriously damaged, it was still able to fulfill its mission. With full trust in the furniture manufacturer, Baili Bian returned to his bedroom.

He needed to go back to sleep to prove that he wasn't dreaming.

The consequence of going to bed too late is that you will also wake up late.

According to the classic plot of general idol dramas, after the tall, rich and handsome Baili Bian picks up the down-and-out little white flower Nakajima Atsushi and brings him home, when he wakes up the next day, he will definitely find a rich and steaming hot breakfast on the dining table. The whole house has been spotlessly cleaned, and even last night's clothes have been washed and neatly hung in the yard in front of the house.

But the Snail Girl will always be just a myth.

Reality is not an idol drama, all fantasies must be in line with reality.

For example, it is absolutely impossible for Nakajima Atsushi, who lives in an orphanage, to use the advanced kitchen utensils in Bailibian's kitchen. Even doing something like washing clothes is impossible for him to operate the washing machine without any instructions.

As for hand washing...

It seems a bit rude.

The only thing he could do was to sweep the floors of the house.

Those ornaments look so expensive that I dare not touch them without permission.

Unfortunately, however, Bailibian is a person with a slight mysophobia and he cleans the house regularly.

This means that the results of the little tiger's work throughout the morning do not seem very significant. If Bailibian had stayed in bed for another half an hour until all the remaining water stains disappeared, he would probably never have discovered that the house had been cleaned.

"Did you mop the floor, Atsushi-kun?"

The remaining water stains were not obvious, and most of them were in the corners. It was obvious that the cleaner was very careful, but it was inevitable that some corners were overlooked.

Bailibian woke up and found that it was already 9:30 in the morning. He originally planned to stay in bed on Sunday, but suddenly remembered that there was a guest at home, and it was likely that the other party had not eaten yet.

Filled with embarrassment and guilt, Bailibian got up, dressed, washed, and went downstairs at an unprecedented speed within 10 minutes. But just as he jumped off the last step, a sudden puddle of water forced him to make a sharp turn - and then he met Nakajima Atsushi's worried eyes.

The embarrassing thing is that it's not that you fell, but that your agility was used on the sliding stairs.

Oops, it seems like my character collapsed accidentally.

Bailibian said to Nakajima Atsushi who was sitting on the sofa as if nothing had happened: "I'm so sorry, I got up late by mistake. You must be hungry, um... let's go out to eat!"

To make matters worse, just as Bailibian was trying to successfully maintain his mature and steady personality by comforting Nakajima Atsushi who kept apologizing for not cleaning the water stains on the floor while cleaning his room, he ran into Akutagawa Ryunosuke who was on a mission.

Maybe it’s not quite right to say that we bumped into each other, it should be said that we saw each other by chance.

God knows why the port mafia, who usually only work at night, would still be hanging around in the alleys at the corner of the street after ten o'clock in the morning!

While they were still not discovered, Bailibian restrainedly but firmly put his arm around Nakajima Atsushi's shoulders and led him around a 90-degree turn. "Let's take a detour, Atsushi-kun."

"Uh, okay." The noise in the alley could not be hidden from Nakajima Atsushi, just like Nakajima Atsushi's stiff answer could not be hidden from Baili Bian.

"I'm so sorry, Atsushi-kun. I'm a bit of a coward, and there was a fight going on in that alley just now, so..."

Nakajima Atsushi nodded understandingly, even saying in agreement, "That's nothing, Mr. Baili. Avoiding danger is the right choice. That's not cowardice, that's rationality."

This considerate image deeply pleased Bailibian. He couldn't help but sigh, how great it would be if Akutagawa Ryunosuke could be like Nakajima Atsushi.

Since that meeting, he has never met Ryunosuke Akutagawa again, and he has no idea how Dazai Osamu promoted himself to Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

It wasn't until Dazai disappeared and Akutagawa Ryunosuke came to kill him without hesitation that he realized he had become the white moonlight of the foreigner. Akutagawa Ryunosuke still firmly believed that Dazai took him away to train him to be the next Bai Libian. And the reason Dazai defected was to take Bai Libian away with him.

Although there was no emotional foundation, he and Ryunosuke Akutagawa still lived a thrilling life of "he escaped, he chased, and they couldn't escape even if they had wings."

That was also the first time that Bailibian had the idea of ​​taking a break from school for a while - bullets and gunfire could not scare him, power and money could not make him bow his head, but Akutagawa Ryunosuke's persistence could make him retreat.

Doesn’t this guy need to sleep?

Doesn't he still have a job?

Why can he be more noisy than Dazai Osamu!

Although with Mori Ougai's orders, Akutagawa Ryunosuke no longer chased and intercepted the innocent Hyakuribian like he did in the beginning, but if they bumped into each other, it would be impossible for him to just pass by as if nothing had happened.

Although Bailibian never thought of deliberately concealing his interpersonal relationships, especially after he fell out with the official organization, he no longer dreamed that he could be selected as one of the "Top Ten Young People Who Touched Yokohama" this year by being law-abiding and having excellent academic performance.

But when he is being chased in the street, especially when the people chasing him are shouting, "I will definitely prove to Mr. Dazai that I am a hundred times! A thousand times stronger than you, a coward!", "Only I am worthy of standing by Mr. Dazai's side!" and so on, it is better to avoid showing it to the public.

Having learned the lesson from the previous day and considering that breakfast was delayed for so long, Bailibian ordered ten baskets of dumplings for Nakajima Atsushi in one go and specifically told him to eat them without worry.

This breakfast shop is different from your average restaurant.

It cooks carefully according to the proper amount of food for humans and will never prepare food for customers in bowls the same size as cups.

Because of this, an average adult male basically only needs two baskets to meet his breakfast needs, and three baskets of dumplings are enough to make him full.

Nakajima Atsushi, who had already replenished a large amount of food and had accumulated enough nutrients in his body, was swallowing the food with strength under Bailibian's trusting and friendly gaze.
