15 Come up and shout
◎The jealousy caused by Kenji Hagiwara◎
Chiriko Hanano: ...? ! !
Innocent bystander Kenji Hagiwara was caught off guard by Chihoko Hanano's "wall-bang" and subconsciously said, "Little... well..."
"Shh!" Chihoko Hanano hurriedly covered her mouth and turned her head to observe the reaction of Ling Xiatani coming down the stairs.
The touch on his lips was unusually soft. Hagiwara Kenji followed Hanano Chihoko's gaze, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
Fortunately, Furuya Rei did not notice anything unusual and gradually disappeared from sight. Only then did Hanano Chihoko breathe a sigh of relief after surviving the disaster.
The students coming downstairs saw a conspicuous couple at the corner and said, "Hey, look..."
"Oh, it really is."
What?
Chihoko Hanano turned her head in confusion, only to realize that the person in front of her was Kenji Hagiwara - the one who didn't make any noise and let herself be manipulated even after she had manually muted his microphone for a long time.
The two looked at each other, and Hagiwara Kenji finally asked, "Talking now won't disturb Kowako's hiding, right?"
When Hagiwara Kenji spoke, his lips were slightly open, and his lips rubbed against Hanano Chihoko's palm.
Chihoko Hanano took a big step away as if it were hot.
Ahhhh!
What had she just done to the weak (?), pitiful, and innocent Hagiwara-kun! Hanano Chiheko felt her cheeks begin to heat up again.
"I'm sorry!" Chihoko Hanano bowed at a standard 90-degree angle with great shame.
"You don't have to be so polite to me, Kozue." Hagiwara Kenji didn't care and helped her up.
Hanano Chihezi felt a little relieved, "By the way, I didn't delay your work, did I?"
Hagiwara Kenji said: "No, because the reason I came here is to see you."
Chihoko Hanano blinked, and a big question mark slowly appeared above her head.
…
After checking the supplies inventory as scheduled, Hanano Chihoko and Hagiwara Kenji took a slow walk. "Hagiwara-kun, are you saying... you're here for Matsuda?"
"Yeah." Whenever he mentioned Matsuda Jinpei, Hagiwara Kenji's expression was always gentle. "During morning exercises today, no matter how much Kouya and the squad leader pressed him, he refused to explain how he got the bump on his head."
"What's the big deal?" Hanano Chiheko was a little puzzled. "Can't you just tell the truth? He's just a victim anyway."
"Kowako is so frank," Hagiwara Kenji chuckled. "But Jinpei said that what he kept thinking last night was: If I had reacted a little faster, you wouldn't have been injured. Because of this, he privately asked me to come and see your injury."
Hanano Chiheko couldn't help but frown as she listened, "Did he really tell you that?"
Hagiwara Kenji saw that Hanano Chihoko looked unhappy and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"This is a huge problem!" Hanano Chiheko stopped and pinched her waist. "If this continues, if he really becomes a police officer and encounters a victim or a comrade dying before his eyes and he can't do anything, won't he be filled with guilt?"
Hagiwara Kenji looked dazed for a moment, then he couldn't help but become serious. "You're right, he... really shouldn't think that way."
"Where is that guy? I'll go find him right now!" Chihoko Hanano immediately turned around and was about to leave, but Kenji Hagiwara grabbed her wrist.
"Don't worry, Xiao Zhenping is with Instructor Guizhong and can't get away for the time being."
Chiheko Hanano let out a breath, but still felt a little uncomfortable. She looked around and realized that they had unknowingly left the school gate.
Chihoko Hanano's eyes were fixed on the bar not far away, and her grief and anger suddenly turned into appetite.
Hagiwara Kenji, who was standing by, had a bad feeling. "You don't mean to..."
Hanano Chihoko: "Hehe."
In the bar, the bartender politely asked the two guests who had just entered: "Hello, what would you like to order?"
Chihoko Hanano looked at the dazzling array of wines on the wall and hesitated.
"Would you like something sweet?" asked Kenji Hagiwara.
Hanano Chiheko nodded, "Any recommendations?"
"Why not try some cachaça?" Hagiwara said to the bartender. "And a glass of bourbon."
"Bourbon..." Hanano Chiheko repeated, "Is this delicious?"
"Well, it's the flavor I personally prefer." Hagiwara Kenji thought for a moment and looked at Hanano Chiheko. "If you're interested, you can try it later, but the alcohol content is quite high, so you can only drink a little."
"Okay~" Chihoko Hanano agreed obediently.
Fifteen minutes later, Hanano Chihoko mixed the amber bourbon into the cassarai in the glass, "A little more!"
"Alright, Kazuko." Hagiwara Kenji was about to take the bourbon bottle back, but Hanano Chihoko seemed to have noticed what Hagiwara Kenji was thinking and held on to the bottle tightly, "You said I could drink it!"
"You're already drunk, you can't drink anymore." Hagiwara Kenji turned off his phone and placed it on the bar. "Be good, okay?"
Hanano Chiheko shook her head and muttered with her eyes closed: "I only feel comfortable this way. Kenji-chan, you don't understand, you don't understand."
Kenji-chan…an inexplicably cute name.
Hagiwara Kenji tilted his head towards Hanano Chiheko, his semi-long hair hanging down slightly, giving people an inexplicable sense of intimacy. "Is there anything bothering Chiheko? You can talk to Kenji-chan about it."
Hanano Chihoko's dilated pupils gradually focused, and when she looked at Hagiwara Kenji, her expression was a little dazed, "I..."
The nightmare scene resurfaced before her hazy eyes, and Hanano Chiheko's eyes dimmed. What could she say to a future police officer? How could she say it?
Hanano Chihezi was silent for a moment, "Forget it, it's useless."
There was even more doubt in Hagiwara Kenji's eyes. Before this, even though he was as perceptive as he was, he had never noticed that Hanano Chihoko had any worries. She was obviously a happy and energetic little sun every day, but after drinking, she seemed like a different person. The difference was obvious.
What kind of growing environment allowed her to suppress her inner feelings so skillfully?
Hagiwara Kenji thought about it and continued to guide: "If you have any difficulties, you might as well tell me. I can work with you to find a solution."
Join me...
There was a flash of tears in Hanano Chihoko's eyes, and Hagiwara Kenji was slightly stunned. In just a moment, Hanano Chihoko cried out "Ah".
"Kazuko!" Ignoring the curious glances from the bar's patrons, Hagiwara Kenji quickly leaned in to comfort her. "What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"
But at this moment, the more people comforted her, the more miserable Hanano Chihoko cried.
What are you crying about?
Chihoko Hanano didn't know either, but she felt that heavy emotions had been piling up in her heart. If she didn't vent them all out in one breath, the string that had been taut somewhere would suddenly break and fall to the ground.
After a burst of shouting at the top of her lungs, Hanano Chihoko calmed down after a long time, and the tears in her eyes seemed to have suddenly dried up.
Chihoko Hanano was lying on the bar, propping herself up with her arms as she looked across at Kenji Hagiwara, and it seemed as if she was looking at something else through Kenji Hagiwara.
"Kenji-chan." Chihoko Hanano's voice was a little hoarse.
"Hmm?" Kenji Hagiwara brushed Chihoko Hanano's wet hair behind her ears and listened to her attentively.
Hanano Chiheko's face showed a rare hint of resentment, "I'm suddenly jealous of Matsuda-chan."
So... is it still a common name? Hagiwara Kenji laughed at himself, "What did he do?"
Hanano Chiheko shook her head: "He didn't do anything, he just had a good childhood friend like you."
Hanano Chihoko's eyes were filled with sincerity, but her tone was still downcast, "And I don't."
"You..." Hagiwara Kenji's heart trembled for a moment, and he coughed lightly, which slightly suppressed the throbbing extending from his fingers. When everything calmed down, Hagiwara Kenji raised his eyes again, and saw a face with pursed lips and sleeping.
Like a gust of wind came and like a gust of wind went. It was obvious that Chihoko Hanano was the culprit, but in the end, Kenji Hagiwara was left alone, standing in the mess after the hurricane, panicking and not knowing the way home.
Kenji Hagiwara drank all the remaining bourbon in the glass, looked at Hanano Chiheko quietly for a long time, slowly reached out, and in the bar where light and shadow flickered, he touched Hanano Chiheko's head soothingly and carefully.
Chihoko Hanano seemed to have really felt something, and her tightly pursed lips relaxed slightly, revealing their original fullness and radiance.
The corners of Hagiwara Kenji's lips curled up, and he smiled silently with his brows relaxed.
This was the scene that Jinpei Matsuda saw when he arrived.
Hagiwara Kenji noticed something, turned around and saw that it was Matsuda Jinpei, and restrained the tenderness in his eyes a little, and waved to Matsuda Jinpei, "This way."
Matsuda Jinpei walked over silently and glanced at Hanano Chiheko who was soundly sleeping. "Why did you drink so much? You don't even care about her."
Hagiwara Kenji recalled the rogue look of Hanano Chiheko when she snatched the wine, and couldn't help but smile, "Chizuko is not an ordinary person, there's no way I can control her."
For some reason, Jinpei Matsuda strangely reached a consensus with Kenji Hagiwara on this sentence.
What a joke! Matsuda Jinpei couldn't find another person who could injure 800 enemies and 3,000 of his own people through a headbutt, even after counting his 22 years of life.
Matsuda Jinpei finished his internal complaints, then noticed that Hagiwara Kenji's demeanor and movements weren't very smooth, so he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Kenji Hagiwara nodded and slowly made an OK gesture.
By noon, with the winter sun shining, pedestrians on the street didn't feel too cold.
Matsuda Jinpei felt Hanano Chiheko on his back sliding to the left, and couldn't help but bounce up. "Let me tell you something, if you slide down, don't blame others!"
Chihoko Hanano was shaken awake a little, and heard a familiar, shrill voice. She opened her eyes hazily and happened to see the angular profile of Jinpei Matsuda.
"Hey, where did that irritable Ikemyun-face come from?" Hanano Chiheko rested her chin on Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder and looked at him curiously before regaining consciousness.
Two more bars instantly appeared on Matsuda Jinpei's head. He spoke word by word, "...you'd better be talking drunk."
This look, this tone...
Hanano Chihoko regained some clarity, and after taking a closer look, she understood: "Oh, it turns out to be that irritable Matsuda..."
Matsuda Jinpei couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Hey, you..."
"Alright, alright." Hagiwara Kenji caught the small spark of Matsuda Jinpei's anger, which was ignited by Hanano Chiheko, and extinguished it accurately. "Kowako is drunk, what bad intentions could she have?"
"Tsk——" Matsuda Jinpei said goodbye.
Hanano Chihoko looked at the road ahead and was unusually quiet. She whispered, "Matsuda-chan, don't be so kind next time."
