Chapter 111 The occasion

285.

The song "I swear" reverberated steadily and passionately above the church, bringing the atmosphere filled with happiness to the extreme. The priest walked onto the stage, indicating that the wedding had entered its beginning stage.

Yi Dahang sighed secretly in his heart, but stood beside the priest as usual, calming his mind and waiting for the bride to arrive.

He is already happy enough, with a loving wife, a father who has untied his knot and fully supports him, and so many good brothers...

So, we can't expect so much.

Behind him, the three best men stood with their eyes fixed on each other, with small lights beside them shining from bottom to top, highlighting the upright postures of the three men to the fullest.

——Three handsome single guys.

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara looked at each other with complicated expressions.

"It seems like I can't catch up." Hagiwara Kenji said quietly, with a bitter joke, "Maybe I can just have a free meal later?"

Matsuda Jinpei still had a smile on his face to bless the newlyweds. He turned his head, looked straight ahead, and spoke softly:

"hehe."

Hagiwara Kenji: “…” It’s over, Xiao Zhenping’s Qi has been deformed!

He sighed, and his purple eyes swept across the bright and sunny entrance, but he could only see the white train of the bride walking towards him in the distance.

The person they were waiting for didn't show up at the last minute. Miracles don't always happen accurately. Sometimes life is so cruel that there is no room for hope.

If they thought about it, they could come up with hundreds of suitable reasons as to why Chiyodani Toru didn't catch up.

That guy was not the kind of person who broke his promises, not to mention that Ida Ko held a high position in his heart.

As early as a month ago when he received the invitation, Chiyodani Toru had been preparing with great anticipation. Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei had seen him using his lunch break to make handmade gifts more than once - even though they were already busy like a top and even their rest time had been squeezed out.

In this case, if you didn't make it to the wedding, it's probably because you ran into something that you had to deal with...

Understanding is one thing, but emotionally, they still cannot contain the disappointment in their hearts.

Since the police academy until now, they have not had a good time with Chiyodani Toru during any important incidents. Every time, there are always various accidents, as if God is trying to distance them from each other.

Even my birthday was spent in the hospital - how miserable!

"Don't think too much." Standing not far from him, across a flower pot, Zhu Fu Jingguang said, "Then take his blessing and give it to the squad leader."

The three people stood like this: Jinpei Matsuda, Kenji Hagiwara, Hanabune, Kagemitsu Morofushi, and Sora.

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked sideways at the empty space beside him, feeling quite helpless.

Hagiwara Kenji nodded slightly and put on a brighter smile again.

He was naturally charming when he smiled, and when his purple eyes looked at others sincerely, people could not help but believe what he said.

——"The monitor and Natalie will definitely be super happy."

[Woo woo woo, they will definitely be happy, but I am torn (crying loudly) I want Toru, I want all six of them in one place! You old thief, you are not a human being! I curse you to eat instant noodles with nothing but pickled cabbage buns!]

[I want to turn to the dark side. Chiyodani Toru has had too many accidents. It's really disappointing...]

[Although I know there must be various reasons for not coming, it still feels very frustrating. Is this a hint that Toru is destined to have no future?]

[I believe this knife (choked up) It really doesn’t give me even a little bit of sugar residue]

[Let’s go, let’s go. In this situation, is it possible for him to fly over?]

From a distance, the blonde bride was walking slowly towards them holding her father's hand, with flower girls scattering flowers in front of them, and following behind were the bridesmaids dressed in exquisite attire.

Logically, all the guests' eyes will be focused on the bride, watching her walk down the aisle.

But Rei Furutani didn't.

The blond man in waiter's clothes looked up at the top of the church, where a skylight cover was opened, revealing a dark shadow that blocked out half of the sunlight.

Soon, the black shadow swayed, grabbed the edge of the skylight and swung hard, like an orangutan swinging from one branch to another, and landed lightly and nimbly behind the platform on which the church was built... and disappeared.

The next moment, a young man in a best man's suit quietly appeared and stood silently beside Zhu Fu Jingguang, fitting in perfectly with the background without any incongruity.

When the latter was almost frightened to the point of jumping up, he put one hand on Morobuchi Jingguang's shoulder and held him down in place.

The young man's expression was extremely serious, with a gentle smile and looking straight ahead, just like a best man who had always been there to welcome guests. It was hard to tell that he had just made an appearance like Spider-Man and actually did some church parkour.

——Only the sweat on his forehead and his slightly wet hair betrayed him. His black eyes were as bright as those of a dog that had eaten a bone.

Fūya Rei couldn't help but twitch his lips and covered his face with his hands.

Chiyodani Toru...really, you are so good!

Regardless of whether the other guests saw this scene, fortunately most of the people present were police officers, and even though someone saw it, Daxinzi still managed to hold on and didn't make any noise.

"Toru, you really are——" On the stage, Morobushi Kagemitsu squeezed out a sound from between his teeth, not knowing how to express his feelings for a moment, "I'm scared to death!"

God knows he just felt a chill on his back, and even his crown went numb. He almost cried out!

"Pfft." The young man still had a smile on his face. Sweat slid down the ends of his black hair and hit the black groomsmen's suit, leaving a dark spot. He was panting softly, calming his breathing, and his black eyes showed lively joy and relief.

"Luckily we made it." He said dryly, "The squad leader is so handsome, and Natalie is so pretty!"

In front, Natalie had already walked in front of the priest. The two newlyweds only had eyes for each other at this time. Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei were standing on the other side of the flowerpot and did not notice the episode in this corner.

Morobushi Kagemitsu's blue-gray cat eyes narrowed, looking more gentle, and he said, "Toru."

"Um?"

"I won't help you if you get beaten this time." The gentle and soft tone of his lips conveyed the most ominous announcement.

“Hmmmm?” The black-haired young man’s smile froze, and the corners of his black eyes, which usually pretended to be innocent, suddenly showed a pitiful arc, like a husky being swept out by its owner.

If it weren't for Morofushi Kagemitsu's help, he would really have been pinned to the ground and beaten by Matsuda and Hagiwara, right?

"Hiro..." He called out to his most talkative companion in a wronged tone, emitting the signal of "flattering" all over his body.

Zhu Fu Jingguang chuckled, then said coldly: "No room for negotiation!"

“QAQ.”

"Please don't pronounce QAQ in that tone!"

After the initial assisting, the only role of the best man and bridesmaid is to take photos after the ceremony. During this process, the best man basically just stands there as a decent background board to support the occasion.

Therefore, Chiyodani Toru went through the entire ceremony safely without disturbing the emotions of most people, and everyone's attention was still focused on the newlyweds.

But when the dust settled, Idahang, holding Natalie, turned around and prepared to call his friends to take a photo together, and the happy and generous smile on his face was frozen in an instant.

"Toru?" he murmured in disbelief. "Natalie, why don't you pinch me? I might be hallucinating because I'm so happy."

Natalie smiled softly. She looked at the two police officers from the Explosives Unit who were even more excited than Ida Kou and had already rushed forward. She covered her lips and said, "Hang-kun, it seems that today is indeed a day full of surprises."

Ida Kou looked at his companions playing around and smiled even more softly: "...Yeah, it's such a surprise."

“Natalie.”

"Um?"

"Thank you."

"Oh, you're welcome... wuwu! Don't kiss me here--"

---------------

"Ahhh! Hiro, please don't just stand by and watch someone die!"

The police officer who was usually steady and reliable, and whose tone of voice was calm even when handling cases, was now squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, looking pitiful, while trying to pull the trouser legs of Morobu Kagemitsu who was standing nearby, but was ruthlessly grabbed by the latter's arms and pinned.

"Matsuda, Hagiwara, come on!" Morofushi Jingguang curled his lips slightly and unceremoniously added fuel to the fire, "I'll help you hold him down."

"Hiro!" The incredulous voice became louder.

Hagiwara Kenji was both angry and amused. He patted Morobushi Kagemitsu on the shoulder and said, "You too, Morobushi. Toru is here, and you didn't reveal anything at all?"

Judging from Chiyodani Toru's appearance, he had obviously been standing there for some time.

Unfortunately, he was still wondering what would happen to this latecomer in the end!

"I can't help it. I was standing too far away just now." Morobushi Jingguang shrugged. "Toru was worried about affecting the class monitor's mood, so he hid behind me."

Compared to Hagiwara Kenji, the already furious Matsuda Jinpei rushed forward right from the start. With one hand, he grabbed the collar of someone who was crouching with his head in his hands, and with the other hand, he directly grabbed Chiyodani Toru's hair and rubbed it randomly as a punishment.

"You bastard!" The curly-haired police officer shook Chiyodani Toru's clothes, "Do you know how long we've been waiting for you? We usually see you swaying in front of us every day, but today you failed to make it to the entire ceremony. Kneel down and confess!"

"Gululu!" Someone was shaken out of his eyes, and his fate was strangled by the neck. He could only scream, "Help, help!"

"Wooooooooo, Hiro!"

Morofushi Jingguang still had his claws on him. Hearing this, he sighed and said to Matsuda Jinpei, "Okay, this guy still has a little sense of propriety. At least he came before the oath was taken and was not too late."

"Really?" Matsuda Jinpei asked suspiciously, "I kept looking at the door, and there was no other figure - wait, then how did you appear here?!"

Blind student, have you finally discovered the highlight?

Morofushi Jingguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He separated his classmates who became childish when they were together, and caught them one by one: "Okay, the squad leader and the others are still waiting."

Ida Ko and Natalie were taking photos with their elders at the moment, so they were not in any particular hurry.

Chiyotani Toru looked like he had survived a disaster, and said with emotion: "Hiro is really the best. The aura of a male mother is reassuring."

Morofushi Kagemitsu's smile froze, and he threw Chiyodani Toru to Matsuda Jinpei without hesitation: "Matsuda, you continue."

Chiyotani Toru: “QwQ?”

Matsuda Jinpei couldn't bear to watch: "...Heh, you're such a grown-up and still acting cute, isn't that embarrassing?"

"You are the childish one, aren't you?" Chiyodani Toru smoothed his hair which was messed up by Matsuda Jinpei, and suddenly became confident, "The squad leader didn't say there was anything wrong with me!"

"How dare you say that? Don't think we've made it through this!"

“I’m actually here!”

"Here are the extra five minutes for the monitor and Natalie!"

Kenji Hagiwara twitched his lips as he looked at Rei Furuya, who seemed to be packing things but was actually glancing at him covertly.

It seems that Toru's disaster is only half over at best.

In the end, he had to use the small comb that Morobushi Kagemitsu carried with him to barely smooth out the hair that was messed up by Matsuda Jinpei. The black-haired young man was vague about the reason for his sudden appearance, and gathered his companions to go to Date Kou.

“Take pictures, take pictures!”

"Why is this guy so...lively today?" Hagiwara Kenji said in a low voice after falling behind, "Xiao Furuya, did you see how Toru came in?"

Furiya Rei smiled lightly, with a look of deep meaning that made one's scalp tingle: "She is really lively, she can even fly to heaven."

——Heaven, literally.

"Is Toru feeling guilty about something?" Hagiwara Kenji stroked his chin, "But being lively and energetic is not bad after all."

"Yeah, let's just let him go." Furuya Rei said, "He's two years younger than us."

Although he was quite angry at first, he couldn't say anything to blame him when he saw Chiyodani Toru's relieved look as if he had "finally caught up".

The police officer with half-long hair smiled at this awkward excuse. While clearing the plates, he moved to the side and whispered, "When we take pictures later, if you do this..."

Fūya Ling was startled, his purple-gray eyes were full of smiles: "I understand."

--------------

"Mr. Ida, do you want to remove this photo?" The photographer asked while screening the photos. He said in confusion, "Strange, why do I feel like I didn't see it when I took the photo?"

In the photo, everyone was smiling brightly. The bride and groom were in the middle, with the best man and bridesmaids lined up in order. However, in the corner, the back of a waiter was captured, and his golden hair was hard to ignore.

Yi Dahang understood immediately, a smile flashed across his face. He took the photo out, put it in his chest pocket, and patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you."

"Ah?" The photographer didn't react and said in a daze, "You're welcome?"

---------

When Ida Ko returned with the photos, he was confronted by an automatic apology machine.

The black-haired young man bowed pitifully, without any of the arrogance he had just shown in front of Matsuda's formation: "Sorry, squad leader, not only am I late this time, I haven't brought any gifts yet. I'll make it up in two days!"

Idahang patted his shoulder and said in a good mood, "You're not late. You've always been here! Besides, it's good that you're fine. The gift is not important."

"How come you can't catch up all of a sudden? No one answered your phone when I called you." Matsuda Jinpei got angry when he thought of this. "Are you a caveman? Why don't you like answering the phone?"

"I was wrong—" The black-haired young man behaved much better in front of Date Kou. He lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "Next time I promise to answer the phone and not let Mama Matsuda worry."

Matsuda Jinpei was so choked by this little white lotus' attitude that he immediately rolled his eyes.

"If I really want to give you a gift, I have something I want."

Yi Dahang looked at his classmates and said seriously, "You guys should also pay attention to your safety and be well. Do you understand?"

"Especially Matsuda, Hagiwara, and Toru. You three are the most troublesome!"

The three people who were named froze and agreed obediently. Morofushi Kagemitsu laughed on the side, but before he could laugh out loud, Chiyodani Toru glared at him with a threatening look, so he could only say "Okay" helplessly.

Natalie nodded and praised, "Hang-kun has the dignity of a father."

Ida Hang froze for a moment, his ears turning red: "What, what..."

"Alas--"

The single dogs nearby were covered in the fragrant dog food.

"Have you solved the problem?" Zhu Fujingguang suddenly asked, looking at the black-haired young man who had become much quieter.

Chiyodani Toru was startled. He subconsciously took out his mobile phone and took a look. It just so happened that it jumped to the answering interface, and a call came in with no remarks.

He gestured, walked to the corner and answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Mr. Yamato?" A joyful voice came from the other end, "The lady you sent here, both mother and daughter are safe."

"That's great." He smiled softly, "How about the other gentleman?"

"Uh...still in a coma?"

...Well, this is a bit embarrassing.

The call was quickly hung up. The black-haired young man lowered his head, took out the anonymous SIM card from his phone and broke it in a corner where no one could see, then walked back to Zhufu Jingguang and the others.

"It looks like the problem has been solved." Zhu Fu Jingguang saw that he was much more relaxed and said with understanding, "Is it a good thing?"

Compared with the lively attitude when he was arguing with Matsuda Jinpei just now, Chiyodani Tetsu was now closer to his usual state. The young man slightly curled his lips and smiled: "This is good news that can't wait."

Although he did not say it directly, the police officers present at the scene all understood it in an instant.

Matsuda Jinpei chuckled, took off the sunglasses on his chest, put them on, and commented arrogantly: "That's not bad, I'll forgive you."

"Who wants your forgiveness?"

"Look, squad leader, this guy's true colors have been revealed!"

"Hey, Officer Matsuda, I am your superior after all, right?"

"Are you guys done yet? You're using this to pressure me... Hagi, look at his attitude!"

“…”

Natalie clasped her hands together and smiled sweetly: "Sure enough, if you wait five more minutes, you will receive a Justice Star!"
