Chapter 47 Chapter 47 The golden sunset is slowly sinking...

When his eyes met those purple-gray ones, Zhu Fujingguang had a premonition.

This hunch was confirmed when the two waiters compared their times in disbelief: "Congratulations, your times are only 0.2 seconds apart!"

Zhu Fujingguang: "..."

Jianggu Ling: "..."

Two people who had no intention of stealing the limelight ended up stealing the biggest spotlight.

Kato Chinana didn't show any jealousy. She happily pulled her husband's arm and shook it: "Our table is the first to successfully get a free meal today~"

Then he turned to Morofushi Kagemitsu who was walking over and said, "Midorikawa-kun and Amuro-kun have such a great relationship! How did they do that?"

Zhu Fujingguang: "..."

How can I explain to Mrs. Kato that this is actually the result of my own calculations that failed?

Now that things have come to this, just accept this congratulations with a smile.

Fūya Rei was clearly quite surprised by this result. When his eyes met Morifushi Keimitsu's at the door to the private room, a moment of astonishment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. As he sat down again at the table, he placed his hand over Morifushi Keimitsu's, which was resting on the edge. "Although I've always believed that Wei-kun and I are in tune with each other, I'm still very happy to see this result."

With this little episode, it was Kato Chinana's turn to become curious about the love story between the two of them. However, the meticulous Furutani Rei had naturally discussed the script with Morofushi Kagemitsu in advance, and the narration was quite natural. In the middle, Morofushi Kagemitsu deliberately corrected some small details, for example, he insisted that he was the one who confessed to Amuro Toru first.

The blond youth looked indignant. "How can it be considered a confession if Wei-jun just stuffed his lunchbox into my drawer and ran away for a week straight? I didn't even know who did it at the time!"

Not to be outdone, Zhu Fushi Jingguang typed on his phone, the force and sound of his typing enough to prove his determination to refute the argument: "My confession was in the lunch box! It was because Toru ate the potato pancake without even looking at it that he didn't see the signature on the back! You! You ate my name!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Kato Chinana's laughter had lost the elegant ladylike demeanor she had when they first met. She struggled to wipe away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes. "Looking at Midorikawa-kun, I thought you'd confess with a haiku. I didn't expect your way of confessing would be so... well, cute."

Zhu Fushi Jingguang paused for a moment while typing furiously, then continued typing: "Toru's confession is so cute that it's almost comical."

The dark-skinned man leaned in front of Zhu Fujingguang, as if asking him to look into his eyes and say it again: "What's funny about it? Isn't it perfect? ​​But that night, Wei Jun--"

The words he hadn't finished were blocked by the cat-eyed young man with red ears.

Kato Chinae saw that Midorikawa Yui was trying hard to get the topic back on track, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face, but she didn't make any more noise.

Because the chemistry between Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei in the mini-game was so amazing, the proprietress not only waived the bill for their table, but also gave them two extra dishes.

In front of this sumptuous dish, Hiroyuki Kato was the first to put down his chopsticks.

In fact, it was the same at noon. The beef noodles made by Morofushi Kagemitsu were in large portions, and Kato Hiroyuki couldn't finish them all. It seemed that he ate even less than the petite Kato China.

Amuro Toru tried to give him a piece of fried spring roll, but was rejected as expected: "I don't want to eat it, thank you."

Kato Chinana explained to her husband, "Hiroyuki should pay more attention to his health. He never eats until he is full."

...Do you care about your health? Morofushi Jingguang thought about the wide variety of health supplements he had seen in Kato Hiroyuki's suitcase. Later, Furuya Rei had told him that they were indeed health supplements. Combined with his eating habits, he felt that this person seemed a bit obsessed in this regard.

After dinner, they had the highlight of their trip to the ancient town.

The sky was half dark, and antique lanterns with exotic features lit up one by one, of different heights, some hanging high and some hanging down within reach, which was extremely dreamy.

Kato Chinae changed out of the dress with the Q version of Kato Hiroyuki painted on it and put on an ao dai. She took Kato Hiroyuki's hand and said that she would buy some lanterns to take back later.

The ancient town was no longer oppressive during the day, and the breeze from the river gently ruffled their hair. Zhu Fujingguang and Furuya Ling walked slowly behind them, the warm light of the lanterns enveloping them.

It would seem strange to remain silent, so Furuya Rei whispered the question he wanted to ask the most: "How could the bells just now be pressed at the same time? I clearly calculated it, and if it were three seconds later--"

When he met the blue cat's eyes, he understood what the other party meant even without words.

They were both three seconds slower.

Amidst the ambiguous light and shadow, Fūya Rei clearly saw himself in the other person's eyes.

Behind them, the golden sunset was slowly sinking into the blue water.

"Jianggu Zero Favorability +5!"

When they came back from the ancient town, the Kato couple said they wanted to go to a supermarket not far away to do some shopping. Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei didn't want them to feel like they were following too closely, so they took the initiative to get off in front of the supermarket and walk back.

Then I met two unexpected people, Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei. The former was pale, but had a bright smile, obviously in a good mood, while the latter said something with a disgusted expression, but you could also see a smile in his eyes.

Seeing Keimitsu Morofushi and Rei Furuya, Kenji Hagiwara deliberately raised the hand that he was holding with Jinpei Matsuda to greet them.

Zhu Fujingguang was a little surprised. After all, their last meeting had ended on bad terms, which was the least of their worries. Scotland had ruined his romantic confession, and Bourbon had even helped him get hurt.

Tennessee doesn't seem to be the type to repay kindness with evil... although Zhu Fushiki Jingguang judged objectively that they were just even.

Cat's Eye glanced at the blond young man, and as expected, he didn't see any positive emotions on his face.

As Bourbon, he had just fought with Tennessee two days ago - although judging from the comparison of injuries on both sides, the victory was overwhelming.

As for Rei Furuya, he must have known that Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara were dating, and he must be feeling very disappointed with his curly-haired friend.

Zhu Fujingguang kept a faint smile on his face and waved to the two people on the side of the road, as if the three conflicts with Tennessee in the past two days had never happened.

"You don't want to attribute Tennessee's good attitude last night to his promise to clear his name, so you decided to start by being nice to everyone, right?" Zhu Fushiguri came back to reality from his memories of last night, and typed on his mobile phone and read it aloud to Matsuda Jinpei in a teasing manner.

They were sitting on a remote beach at this time. Matsuda Jinpei grabbed a beach umbrella from somewhere and stuck it in the sand between them.

After returning home last night, Morofushi Kagemitsu received a text message from Matsuda Jinpei saying that Hagiwara Kenji was not free in the morning and asked him to meet. The first thing he said when they met was that Hagiwara Kenji agreed to become an informant for the public security, and he also explained Hagiwara Kenji's abnormally cheerful attitude last night.

Officer Curly paused suspiciously for two seconds before denying, "That's not what I meant."

Zhu Fu Jingguang: “…” Do you dare to look me in the eyes and say this?

Well, having come to this point, he really had no intention of asking Matsuda Jinpei to leave Hagiwara Kenji this time, so he got straight to the point: "Such a serious matter is being entrusted to you and me, two non-parties, as intermediaries. I have no choice but to do so. Does Hagiwara trust you to this extent?"

Matsuda Jinpei hesitated for a moment—given his personality, it was unusual for him to hesitate twice in a row—before answering, "Yes. Although I'm not a member of the Public Security Bureau, I'm within the police system. I know Hagiwara's current situation is disadvantageous. He needs to submit a letter of allegiance to the Public Security Bureau before he's qualified to be tested, right?"

This question received no response.

What he said was right, so Zhu Fu Jingguang did not refute it; but because Zhu Fu Jingguang could not reveal that he was too familiar with the public security, he could not nod either.

"Hagi handed the letter of allegiance to me." Matsuda Jinpei's previous words didn't really require an answer from Morufushi Kagemitsu. He casually said this, causing the cat's eyes, which were very close in color to the sea, to suddenly widen.

He actually handed over something that Tennessee considered important enough to use as a token of allegiance directly to Jinpei Matsuda.

Distrust? Probably trust. If that's the case, why did Jinpei Matsuda hesitate just now?

Zhu Fujingguang continued his words: "After you get in touch with them, what are you going to do?"

Matsuda Jinpei suddenly asked, "In the name of Hagi?"

Morobushi Kagemitsu, who usually spoke to him face to face except when typing, avoided his gaze for the first time: "...In the name of Hagiwara."

The sea breeze struggled to squeeze in between the two of them, trying to dispel the atmosphere that had suddenly become heavy.

A bony hand holding a cigarette box was handed to Morobushi Kagemitsu right under his nose. The young man with cat eyes didn't know whether to laugh or cry: he actually didn't have much of a smoking addiction, and would only smoke one or two when he was very upset. But for some reason, Lei always liked to hand him cigarettes, and when Matsuda Jinpei saw him for the second time, he was smoking, so he also had this illusion.

"No."

Then a lonely spark lit up: "Once they reply and confirm that it's OK, I'll put it somewhere."

Zhu Fujingguang smiled: "Tell me the location? Aren't you afraid that I will just take it away?"

"If you want to take it directly, you won't give up what originally belongs to you." The thin smoke was blown away by the sea breeze before it could form. Matsuda Jinpei's blue eyes seemed to see through a lot.

Zhu Fushiki Jingguang wanted to laugh at his naivety: he could easily get the letter of surrender and then catch Tennessee and Matsuda Jinpei in one fell swoop. Even if Tennessee wanted to report him to the organization, he would not be able to find any substantial evidence.

But he also knew how confident Matsuda Jinpei was in saying this.

It was like this, between these three people who should have been so fragile that there was no trust at all, but miraculously they were able to accomplish such a difficult task as "working together to get one of them out of this muddy place and onto the hard concrete ground opposite."

If Sambuga knew about this, he would be confused as to what went wrong with his experimental subject's brain.

"Now, can you tell me what happened between you and Hagiwara?"

This time, Jinpei Matsuda did not refuse.
