He wanted to show off his treasure to the whole world.
The bullet train slowly pulled into the platform. Yomi Laichuan, dressed in a long dress, squeezed through the crowd and quickly stepped out of the carriage. Amidst the surging tide of people, Kenji Hagiwara, carrying luggage in one hand and holding Yomi Laichuan's hand in the other, walked towards the platform. A smile played on his lips, as if he'd won the lottery.
Just before stepping off the platform, Yomi Laichuan suddenly stopped, bending backward like a taut bow.
Kenji Hagiwara turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan pressed her red lips into a line, and with her free hand, she tightly gripped the hem of her skirt: "No, let's do it next time, I'm not ready yet."
Upon hearing this, Kenji Hagiwara chuckled: "We'll have to meet sooner or later, and I've already told my family."
Lai Chuan Huang Quan looked awkward, staring at the tiles on his feet for a while, then glancing at the smiling man in front of him, without moving an inch.
The next second...
"Eh?!"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan was grabbed by the waist and lifted up by Hagiwara Kenji. She clung to his shoulder in a panic, saying, "Kenji, put me down quickly."
Kenji Hagiwara chuckled: "There are so many people here, standing still might obstruct traffic."
Moreover, Lai Chuan Huang Quan had already rejected him twice because of shyness, and he had finally managed to bring her home with great difficulty. How could he give up halfway?
“But…but,” Lai Chuan Huang Quan’s voice was barely audible, “…How embarrassing.”
Kenji Hagiwara strode quickly out of the platform. The platform in Kanagawa is not large, and when he reached the outside of the station in a few steps, Chihiro Hagiwara was already leaning against a private car and waiting at the door.
Kenji Hagiwara smiled and leaned closer to his older sister, saying to his girlfriend who was being carried on his shoulder, "I'm going to put you down now, okay?"
"Um."
The moment her feet touched the ground, Yomi Lai turned her head and bumped into a pair of eyes that were strikingly similar to Kenji Hagiwara's. However, the other woman's eyes were a gentle sky blue, while Kenji Hagiwara's were a bewitching violet.
Kenji Hagiwara: "Sis, have you been waiting long?"
Hagiwara Chisato: "It's alright, we just arrived not long ago."
His gaze shifted from his younger brother to the girl in front of him, whose ears were already red, then to their tightly clasped fingers. Hagiwara Chisato raised an eyebrow and smiled knowingly.
Noticing Hagiwara Chisato's gaze, Hagiwara Kenji grabbed Raikawa Yomi under her armpits and lifted her up like a treasure: "Sis, this is my girlfriend Raikawa Yomi. Isn't she super cute?"
Kenji Hagiwara smiled happily, his eyes narrowed into slits, and countless small flowers bloomed behind him.
Suddenly lifted in front of Hagiwara Chisato, Raikawa Yomi's large, almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief. She wobbled, barely managing to touch the ground with her toes. So nervous was she fumbled, even forgetting her anger. Staring at the face of the woman before her, whose features resembled Hagiwara Kenji's, she said obediently, "Hello, sister."
Hagiwara Chisato smiled, her eyes narrowing into slits, clearly pleased: "Hmm, hello."
She looked at Kenji Hagiwara: "But Kenji, if you don't put Yomi down soon, her face will turn so red it'll start smoking."
"Oh no, it's my first time bringing my first love home, I'm so excited I've gotten carried away."
She hurriedly put him down, but Lai Chuan Huang Quan had already puffed out her cheeks and started to sulk quietly. In front of her sister, she was too embarrassed to show her emotions directly, so she could only take advantage of the moment when her sister turned around and kick Hagiwara Kenji hard in the calf.
--Fool.
Her red lips parted and closed, and she spoke silently to Kenji Hagiwara. Then she raised her chin, her tail practically wagging in delight—Kenji Hagiwara had just said that she was his first love.
Yomi Lai and Kenji Hagiwara have known each other for almost four years. She's about to be a junior in college, and Kenji Hagiwara just received his degree from the University of Tokyo a few weeks ago. Not only that, he and Jinpei Matsuda both took the police academy entrance exam and passed successfully. In another two weeks, they will enter the police academy, becoming cherry blossoms that embody justice.
On the day the exam results came out, Kenji Hagiwara smiled and winked: "Police officers won't lose their jobs, and the salary and benefits are quite good. I passed the professional group exam this time, so promotions are quick." Then he could take Yomi to live the comfortable life she longed for. With stable finances, married life would be easier.
He wanted to marry Lai Chuan Huang Quan.
I thought about it for a long time.
A week ago, Kenji Hagiwara coaxed and kissed Yomi Laichuan, finally getting her to blush and nod in agreement to go home with him.
Upon receiving permission, Kenji Hagiwara excitedly hugged Yomi Lai and spun her around, showering her with kisses until Yomi Lai pressed her face down and forcefully pushed him away. "You're so annoying, Kenji, like a clingy dog."
Kenji Hagiwara just kept laughing without saying a word. Even though Yomi Rikawa was the one who was so adorable he couldn't help but want to hug and kiss her.
On the day of the appointment, Lai Chuan Huang Quan was so nervous that she couldn't sleep for half the night. She abandoned her highly personal everyday Lolita style and changed into a specially prepared elegant long dress. Her newly dyed black hair fell over her shoulders, and Lai Chuan Huang Quan wore a pair of high heels, making herself look cute and adorable.
It's the kind of look that parents would like at first glance.
As soon as they arrived at the station, Lai Chuan Huang Quan chickened out, blushing and hesitating, making a bunch of excuses. In the end, Hagiwara Kenji grabbed her waist and forcibly carried her onto the train.
Upon arrival at the station, Raikawa Yomi was carried out of the station again by Hagiwara Kenji and directly packed up and dumped in front of the Hagiwara family.
"Mom, this is the Lai Chuan Huang Quan that I mentioned to you."
"Dad, this is my girlfriend."
His joy reached its peak, and Kenji Hagiwara beamed, like a child showing off a treasure to an elder. The last time he was this smug was many years ago when he and Matsuda found a crystal-clear glass stone by the river.
Even when a neighbor he was on good terms with passed by the Hagiwara family, Hagiwara Kenji, who hadn't even had a chance to go inside, would grab Yomi Raikawa and say, "Hello, Uncle Fujiwara. ...It's been a long time since you've been back. You brought your girlfriend home this time. ...Right? Right? I think she's super cute too."
His violet-blue eyes were filled with pride and smugness, as if he wanted to show it off to the whole world, shouting loudly to those around him: "Look, this is my girlfriend, the best in the world. Most importantly, she's mine."
Beside him, the little girl, whose hand was being held tightly and who had no way to escape, lowered her head, only her bright red ear tips peeking out from her black hair, so ashamed she was about to evaporate on the spot.
The Hagiwara family all adored Yomi Raikawa, the best proof being the mountain of food piled up in her bowl. Yomi Raikawa stared at the food in her bowl, which was now big enough to cover her face, and tremblingly turned to Kenji Hagiwara for help.
"Ahem." Kenji Hagiwara coughed lightly, then silently turned his gaze away. He hadn't expected his parents to be so enthusiastic.
They thought this was the limit, but when Lady Hagiwara learned that Yomi Yorikawa came from a single-parent family and that her father didn't care about the household, she held Yomi Yorikawa's hand affectionately and then piled the food even higher.
However, in the end, all the food was thrown away.
The Hagiwara family was originally quite wealthy, but since their repair shop went bankrupt, they moved from a large villa to a small, secondhand detached house. Due to limited room capacity, Kenji Hagiwara arranged for Yomi Raikawa to stay at a hotel just half a block from their home.
As dusk settles and the city lights begin to twinkle.
After bidding farewell to the Hagiwara family, Yomi Laichuan walked with Kenji Hagiwara to the hotel.
Snow was falling in Kanagawa in the depths of winter. Freshly baked sweet potatoes were steaming, their aroma carried on the wind, drawing the attention of hungry passersby. Yomi Yorikawa took a big bite of a hot roasted sweet potato, then gasped for breath from the heat.
Kenji Hagiwara smiled helplessly and casually inserted the straw into the drink can and handed it over. Yomi Laichuan, holding a sweet potato, didn't take it. Instead, she leaned towards Kenji Hagiwara and put the straw in her mouth using his hand.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan was like a greedy hamster, with a piece of sweet potato that he hadn't swallowed yet and whose warmth had been taken away by the drink hidden in his cheek, but he was sucking on the plastic straw with a loud slurping sound, as if he was going to drink it all in one go.
Kenji Hagiwara raised an eyebrow and flicked Yomi Laichuan's forehead with his index finger: "If you drink too much, you won't be able to eat later."
Lai Chuan Huang Quan chuckled: "I'll try my best to eat, and besides, I still have you, the second-year graduate student."
She handed the hot roasted sweet potato to Kenji Hagiwara, and he took a big bite from her hand.
Snowflakes drifted down, melting quickly in mid-air before even touching the ground. A grey-blue scarf wrapped around Yomi's neck and then around Kenji Hagiwara's neck; they strolled under the moonlight, both wearing the same scarf. Kenji Hagiwara took Yomi's hand and tucked it into his trench coat pocket, as if he were carrying a bulging treasure.
As he breathed, hot air escaped from his mouth and nose. Hagiwara Ken tightened his grip on Raikawa Yomi with two fingers: "Yomi, when do you plan to tell your uncle about us?"
After dating for over a year, Kenji Hagiwara, with Yomi Yorikawa on the back seat, chased the sunset, listened to the summer breeze rustling past their ears, and walked on the beach chasing the waves.
Mr. Lai Chuan remains completely unaware of their relationship. Or perhaps he has already sensed it, but is too preoccupied with work to pay attention to it for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Lai Chuan Huang Quan frowned, clearly displeased.
After entering the University of Tokyo, her relationship with Mr. Raikawa grew increasingly distant. Despite living in Tokyo, Raikawa Yomi specifically applied for accommodation to get away from home and completely escape her father, who rarely came home.
Seeing this, Kenji Hagiwara didn't say anything more, but sighed and leaned down to kiss Yomi Raikawa on the forehead. He gently stroked her hair, and then slowly pulled her into his arms.
He greedily savored his lover's scent, the floral fragrance of the shower gel filling his nostrils. Lai Chuan Huang Quan nestled softly in his arms, utterly docile. Like a kitten nuzzling his chest with its pink paws, it tickled his heart.
He wanted more than just a simple boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
He hugged the person in his arms tightly, his muscles tensing inch by inch. Kenji Hagiwara closed his eyes and held his breath, then slowly released his grip. He placed the hotel room key into Yomi Laichuan's hand: "Get some rest tonight, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"good."
Lai Chuan Huang Quan tiptoed and kissed Hagiwara Kenji on the lips, then hesitated and disappeared from Hagiwara Kenji's sight, turning back every few steps.
Kenji Hagiwara stared in the direction where Yomi Yorikawa had disappeared, sighed, and was about to leave when Yomi Yorikawa came running back.
She didn't say anything, just kept her face flushed, tightly holding onto Kenji Hagiwara's hand and refusing to let go.
Kenji Hagiwara was taken aback, then gently comforted him, "What's wrong?"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan clutched her skirt tightly, her brows furrowed. Her heart was pounding, and her mind was a jumbled mess. As if she had made a huge decision, Lai Chuan Huang Quan took a deep breath and then blurted out everything she wanted to say in one breath: "Police academy training starts in a month, right? Come to Tokyo to see me a week in advance, and I'll take you home to meet my dad!"
The clear, sweet voice exploded like fireworks in Kenji Hagiwara's heart, one after another, illuminating his entire sky.
Yomi Lai took Hagiwara Kenji's hand in hers, her slender white fingers slowly slipping between his fingers, their skin rubbing against each other. Even though they had held hands countless times before, at this moment it felt as if a faint electric current was spreading from their fingertips.
The door closed softly, the metal latch went in, and Raikawa Yomi took off her high heels that were rubbing against her feet and jumped into Hagiwara Kenji's arms, her almond-shaped eyes narrowing into crescents. Raikawa Yomi was like someone with a skin hunger, or like a kitten being petted comfortably; she nestled against Hagiwara Kenji's chest, rubbing her forehead against his face, squirming and twisting in his arms.
The hot, moist breath sprayed onto Kenji Hagiwara's neck, and a tingling, itchy sensation traveled down his neck to his tailbone. He tensed every muscle and pressed his palm hard against Yomi Raikawa's back.
"Hmm."
Lai Chuan Huang Quan twisted his body, trying to break free from the embrace, but was held even tighter.
Invisible sparks danced in the air, burning hot and scorching Hagiwara Kenji's body. He tightened his grip on Yomi Yorikawa's slender waist, as if trying to meld her into his very being.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan nestled softly in Hagiwara Kenji's arms. She looked up, her almond-shaped eyes wet and innocent yet pitiful: "Kenji, you're hurting me."
The military-style black overcoat looked sharp and stylish, but the cold, hard toggle buttons pressed against Lai Chuan Huang Quan's flesh. The belt buckle at the waistline bulged outwards, pressing against her stomach, the sharp metal edges digging into her discomfort.
She said in a soft voice, sounding very aggrieved: "You hugged me so tightly, it hurts."
His jawline tightened instantly, and Kenji Hagiwara's sexy Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
How could she dare to do that? In a place like this, after saying those things that made his heart race and that she wanted to take him home, she still looked at him like that.
The raging fire consumed the last thread of reason.
He lowered his head and kissed the lips he had kissed countless times.
A kiss that deepened their love.
