Chapter 112 Chapter 112 End of the text
One winter night a year later.
A young man in a blue hoodie stood under the eaves of a residential building. The dim street light could not illuminate him through the cover.
The entrance to the alley was only five meters away. Looking over the brim of his hat that covered half of his face, he looked through his cat's eyes at the neon lights reflected in the puddles on the ground.
It rained not long ago, further lowering the temperature after the beginning of winter.
The long-lost outfit he was wearing was convenient, but its warmth retention was average. If he had known this earlier, he should have bought a fleece-lined one when he bought a dozen hoodies last year.
Even as he thought this, he never relaxed his focus on his surroundings. Across the building, a small, muffled sound echoed: the sound of a silenced gunshot. Then, there was the sound of tires rolling over stagnant water, and finally, the sound of footsteps approaching him.
The footsteps were so light that if the hooded youth himself wasn't an expert in this, he would never have been able to hear them.
He stood still, letting the footsteps approach him, letting the other party reach out his hand to him, creating a slight airflow.
Let the other person hug you.
"Hiro, you're so cold. You're wearing too little," the man who hugged him from behind complained. "I was wondering why I didn't find the hoodie you bought when I was tidying up the closet yesterday. It turns out you secretly hid it and planned to wear it today."
Today is a special operation of the public security.
Six months ago, Zhu Fushi Jingguang officially passed the tedious and disgusting police inspection process. If it weren't for his unique experience, having worked in the police in his previous life and knowing that this was the result that Furuya Ling had helped him achieve, most people would probably suspect that the police were targeting him.
His relationship with Furuya Rei was almost an open secret within the public security department - after all, during the four or five-month public security employment review process, they had smelled coffee-flavored pheromones from Cat's Eye many times, varying in intensity, and Furuya Rei had never concealed his close relationship with Morobushi Kagemitsu.
Therefore, due to regulations and to avoid suspicion, Zhu Fujingguang was not assigned to Team Zero after joining the police force. However, their chemistry was indeed stronger than anyone else's, so any joint operations were generally carried out together, as was the case this time.
The young man with cat eyes turned around in Fūya Rei's arms and put his arms around Fūya Rei's waist.
The warm embrace of his lover made Zhufu Jingguang, who had been in the cold wind for half a day, miss it very much. He buried his cold cheek in Jianggu Ling's shoulder. Hot air carrying the warm aroma of coffee came from Jianggu Ling's neck and slowly wrapped Zhufu Jingguang.
"Zero's pheromones smell better and better." Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed subconsciously.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the hand around his waist tighten a little, and a warm kiss fell on the tip of his ear that was red from the cold: "That's too unfair, Hiro, don't say such things in this kind of situation."
Zhu Fu Jingguang laughed and gently rubbed the side of Xia Gu Ling's face with his slowly warming cheek as a comfort.
He actually had some feelings about the change in his attitude towards Rei Furuya's pheromones. Initially, after losing his memories of this world, he hadn't realized that the coffee scent on Rei Furuya was actually a pheromone, and he was drawn to the rich aroma. Later, various events unfolded between him and Rei Furuya, causing Morofushi Kagemitsu to experience heart and stomach discomfort for a period of time due to exposure to coffee pheromones.
Then, in order to prevent Zhufu Jingguang from being in danger, Furuya Ling used drugs to suppress his pheromones, and it took more than a month before his pheromones began to slowly return to their original state.
On the day when the pheromones were restored, Fūya Rei looked extremely nervous.
Zhu Fujingguang, who was waiting outside the door, found it funny and took the initiative to step forward, holding the hand of Jiang Gu Ling, lowered his head slightly and touched his nose against his shoulder.
But the blond young man, who always liked to touch Zhu Fu Jingguang actively, tried to avoid him for the first time, but was grabbed by Zhu Fu Jingguang's other hand on his forearm.
The young man with a pair of cat eyes moved his nose slightly, which reminded Ling Jiangu of the calico kitten in his home when it first came and was also sniffing around.
Then the blue cat eyes curved gently: "It's been a long time since I last saw Zero. I like it very much."
Jianggu Ling: "..."
Zhu Fujingguang suddenly found that the temperature of his lover in his palm seemed to have risen. Just as he was about to look up at Jiang Gu Ling, the other party grabbed his hand and walked out quickly. In his sight was the light golden back of the head and the red ears.
Pulling his mind back from his memories, Morofushi Jingguang followed Furuya Rei to his car parked two streets away.
Fūya Rei took out a coat and a cashmere scarf from the bag in the back seat of the car and put them on Morobushi Kagemitsu himself.
The smell of coffee left by the hug just now had not yet faded, and was surrounded by the scent of Jyoutani Rei on the scarf and coat. It should have been a refreshing smell, but in such a cold winter, it was so warm that it made Zhu Fu Jingguang drowsy.
The scarves piled up, covering half of Zhu Fu Jingguang's face, making him look even more childish. "We'll be there soon, why is Zero still changing my clothes?"
Furuya Rei looked at his work with satisfaction, and reached out to pull back one side of his lover's hair: "Because that Matsuda guy will say that I raised you too badly later."
The five of them had planned to have dinner together at the apartment of Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda tonight. Since two of the five chefs were the last to perform and were unable to prepare the meal, the other three could only buy cooked food outside first.
It’s not far from the mission location, and it takes about ten minutes to get there.
On the way, Zhu Fu Jingguang chatted with Furuya Ling about buying a house.
The apartment they originally lived in was very convenient for getting to the police station. After Morobushi Keimitsu confirmed that he would be working at the police station, Furuya Rei simply bought it and simply rearranged it. The two of them lived in the same room, and the empty bedroom was partitioned off and converted into a study and cloakroom.
The house we are discussing now is for our family.
Upon learning that Morobushi Kagemitsu would be living and working in Tokyo, Morobushi Yuki, Morobushi Ryoka, and their eldest son decided to settle there as well. Morobushi Takaaki was already an independent lawyer, so a move to Tokyo wouldn't be a big deal for him, especially since he had more cases here. However, his two childhood friends were reluctant to leave—though one of them said with a sour face, "I'm more comfortable without you."
Fūya Rei said that he had found a reliable agent who had bought the apartment before and had compared and selected several good suites. When the three of them arrived in Tokyo, they could go directly to see the houses.
Zhu Fujingguang teased: "Now Zero is not afraid of meeting Brother Gao Ming?"
Jiang Gu Ling said nothing, but reached out to tickle the itchy spot on Zhu Fu Jingguang's waist while waiting for the traffic light.
The heating in Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda's apartment was turned on very high, and it was so hot that Keimitsu Morofushi took off his coat and scarf as soon as he entered the door, which made Rei Furuya quite resentful.
The young man with semi-long hair was clinging to Matsuda Jinpei, flirting with something. He noticed Furuya Rei's expression and smirked, "Is it hot? Jinpei said Furuya must have covered Morobushi tightly. Turn the heater up to full blast so you can definitely enjoy Furuya's expression."
Having been betrayed by his lover, Matsuda Jinpei mercilessly elbowed Hagiwara Kenji in the stomach, causing his smiling face to instantly wrinkle. "It hurts, it hurts, Jinpei-chan, please show some mercy..."
These two have been in a relationship for a long time.
Kenji Hagiwara was seriously injured in the explosion at the end of last year. His wound became infected and he had to undergo several operations. He was repeatedly hospitalized for half a year before he recovered.
But Kenji Hagiwara really lives up to the description of him as a "fool" by Jinpei Matsuda.
Since Jinpei Matsuda never agreed to date him, Kenji Hagiwara decided to follow his previous policy: playing the victim.
But the misery has become even worse.
Perhaps feeling brooding over his "black cat" remarks to Jinpei Matsuda, Kenji Hagiwara got a tent and placed it in front of Matsuda's door, making sure it would not hinder Jinpei Matsuda's entry and exit.
There was a gaudy sign hanging on the tent that read: Xiao Zhenping's Dog.
God knows when Jinpei Matsuda saw this brand for the first time, he almost crushed his sunglasses.
But the direction of the sign was such that no one except Jinpei Matsuda would see it, so the curly-haired officer prepared to adopt his previous strategy: pretend there was no human-shaped obstacle at the door.
As a result, Kenji Hagiwara had just been discharged from the hospital and was still a little weak. It was still a little cold after nightfall in early spring, and he soon caught a cold.
Looking at the 1.9-meter-tall man curled up in the tent, looking tired due to a cold and lack of rest, his pair of purple drooping eyes looking at him pitifully, almost shouting "woof", Matsuda Jinpei finally couldn't bear it anymore and dragged the human-shaped dog and the shameful tent into his apartment.
A week after that, they officially reunited.
However, when Matsuda Jinpei regained his memory last month, the relationship between the two became somewhat strained. Chisawa Hagiwara, who had come to Tokyo to visit Kenji Hagiwara, noticed a sense of quietness in the curly-haired officer and almost thought his brother had done something awful again.
Later, when Date Kou was captured by Morifushi Keimitsu, he told Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei what happened in the space again. Only then did Matsuda Jinpei's condition improve a little, and the risk of being "abandoned" at any time was eliminated - these are the original words of Hagiwara Kenji.
As soon as he thought of Ida Hang, the tall detective came out from the kitchen with four bottles of beer, one for each of them, except himself.
Matsuda Jinpei protested, and Date Kou laughed heartily: "Natalie can't stand the smell of alcohol lately, please understand. As for Furuya and Morobushi, I'll take you back later."
This one was the one who had made the most progress among them. He had married Natalie six months ago, fulfilling his promise at the time to "try to invite you to the wedding next year," and found out she was pregnant two weeks ago.
After everyone teased the expectant father for being so nervous that he filled his house with all kinds of baby supplies and parenting books right after finding out the good news, they let him go.
Unexpectedly, when no one was paying attention, Date Ko gently touched Morobushi Keimitsu's beer can with his soda cup.
Zhu Fujingguang was stunned and turned around to see that Yi Dahang had continued to participate in other people's conversation.
Cat's Eye suddenly remembered something and looked at the electronic calendar on the coffee table.
It's December 7th again.
He is 26 years old this year.
At the moment when Rei Furuya has not yet recovered his memory, only Keimitsu Morofushi and Kou Date know when he died in his previous life.
This was just a normal party for them, and except for Date Kou, no one else was drunk. So after being sent home by Date Kou, Morofushi Keimitsu, who was about to wash up, saw Furuya Rei making honey lemonade in the kitchen and was a little surprised: "We didn't drink much, Zero."
The blond young man came out holding two glasses of honey lemonade. He handed one to Morobushi Jingguang while unconsciously stirring his own glass. "I just suddenly feel a little nostalgic. Back then, not long after joining the organization, I was always taken to various banquets, and drinking mixed drinks was a common occurrence. Hiro felt sorry for me and would mix me a glass of honey lemonade when he came back."
The warm, sweet water slid down his throat, making him so comfortable that Zhu Fu Jingguang was about to nod in response to Jiang Gu Ling's words, but his fingers on the cup tightened instantly: this kind of little thing happened in the previous life.
"Zero..." Thinking of today's date, Zhu Fujingguang's voice became difficult, "You remember everything?"
"Yeah." There was still a smile on the corner of Fūya Ling's lips. If it weren't for his hands shaking so much that the spoon made a knocking sound against the wall of the cup, no one would have noticed that something was wrong with him.
When he heard the sound of the cup in his hand, he simply put it aside, took a step forward, and turned his face slightly.
Exchanged a kiss with Zhu Fu Jingguang that tasted like honey.
This kiss completely suppressed the bitterness that had just surged from the bottom of Fūya Rei's heart to his mouth.
Their foreheads touched, feeling the warmth of the most important person, Furuya Rei's expression finally softened and warmed: "Hiro, don't worry about me, because I know we will have many more days together."
They have walked hand in hand through so many days and nights, through life and death.
They will also walk together and never separate.
