Let's go buy some bear-shaped cookies.
When Kenji Hagiwara appeared in the main office of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit, officers who had already clocked in were already chatting in small groups. One of the officers, who had been with Hagiwara for three years, turned to look at him and teased, "Captain, you're wearing a suit today. It's not like your usual style."
Kenji Hagiwara chuckled and quickly changed the subject. Of course he would change into a suit; the one he was wearing now had even bigger pockets, and inside was a soft bread roll that hadn't had a full nap.
As soon as the alarm clock rang its first note this morning, Kenji Hagiwara quickly got up and slapped it off. He looked down at the pillow, where the little bundle of joy, Yomi, curled up in a ball, yawned with her mouth wide open, making a soft, babyish whimper, and twisted her body a couple of times, showing no signs of waking up.
After carefully washing up, Kenji Hagiwara changed into a suit, gently picked up the sleeping Yomi Raikawa, and put her in his pocket.
When Kenji Hagiwara walked towards the entrance, Jinpei Matsuda was still asleep—Jinpei had been too tired yesterday and said he was going to take a nap on the sofa, but he had fallen asleep immediately. Kenji Hagiwara didn't want to wake him up, so he just found a blanket and covered him with it, without telling him to leave.
Four years was enough time for Hagi and Matsu to rise to unprecedented heights at a rapid pace. At least now they both had their own private office, instead of crammed into the large office of the Explosives Department with others.
When Kenji Hagiwara entered the private office, Yomi Laichuan had just woken up. She stretched out of her pocket, her fluffy head peeking out from underneath.
"Aww~!"
"Oh dear, are you awake?" Kenji Hagiwara chuckled, stroking Yomi's head with his fingers. "You can come out now."
He picked up the little dumpling who was looking around and put it on the table: "I'm lucky, the mobile team isn't too busy these days, so I can spend more time with Soft Bread."
Kenji Hagiwara opened a pineapple bun, thoughtfully tore it into small pieces, and fed it to Yomi Laichuan: "I have to lead the team for morning exercise first, so you'll have to play with this soft bread in the office for about an hour."
"Aww~"
"Okay, okay, I'll be right back."
After saying that, Kenji Hagiwara got up and left the office. When he finished training and was about to call it a day, the mobile unit commander appeared on the training ground and gestured for Kenji Hagiwara to change his clothes and come to the office.
When Kenji Hagiwara came out of the office, all the members of the Explosives Division's Team One had already gathered around a table, craning their necks and peering inside.
Kenji Hagiwara: "What are you guys looking at?"
As soon as Kenji Hagiwara's voice rang out in the office, his subordinates, who were huddled together, immediately shrugged, looking guilty. They slowly turned to look at Hagiwara, their eyes subtle, their expressions clearly uneasy.
Hagihara Kenji:?
He squeezed into the crowd and immediately spotted Lai Chuan Huang Quan sitting on the table, chin held high and looking arrogant.
Hagihara Kenji:? ?
Kenji Hagiwara: "You guys came into my office?"
"Ahem," a subordinate who had worked for Kenji Hagiwara for many years coughed and said guiltily, "I... I just intended to put the documents on your desk, Captain."
Kenji Hagiwara: "? Was that the thing I asked you to finish yesterday?"
"I...I was wrong..."
Kenji Hagiwara sighed, "Fine, I had a lot of work yesterday, let's not do it again."
"yes!"
"Coming! Coming!" A voice came from the corridor, and a member of the SWAT team rushed down the long corridor with a bag of dog food, beaming. "I got the dog food from the police dog unit!"
The dog food was poured from his palm onto the table with a clattering sound. Lai Chuan Huang Quan glanced at the plump, high-end dog food kibble shaped like a bone, turned around, kicked away a few kibble pieces that had rolled to his side, and sat down with his back to her.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan raised his head and closed his eyes: "Hmph!" His little tail was still swishing behind him.
Team member: "This is premium dog food specially customized by the Metropolitan Police Department, and it won't eat it?"
At this moment, someone took a freshly opened beef jerky and tried to feed it to Lai Chuan Huang Quan. After smelling it, she finally opened her mouth and bit into the beef jerky.
Teammate: "This puppy is such a picky eater, it's so delicate."
Kenji Hagiwara chuckled: "Of course she's delicate, she's a little witch, you know."
None of the team members reacted yet, continuing to try to tease Raikawa Yomi: "Is this dog called Witch? That's a strange name..."
The chatter gradually subsided, and the silence in the SWAT team's main office, so profound you could hear a pin drop, left Hagiwara Kenji's old teammates stunned, reeling from the bombing incident three and a half years prior. They slowly turned to look at Hagiwara Kenji, their necks wind up like clockwork: "What?! This little dumpling is a little witch?!"
The new team member was completely confused: "What's a little witch?"
The terrible memories that had almost been forgotten resurfaced, and the veteran team member hesitated for a long time before finally patting the new team member on the shoulder with a heavy heart: "Don't ask. But just remember, don't mess with the little witch."
I really don't want to tell the younger generation the embarrassing fact that I was once knocked unconscious by a roll of newspaper. The prestige I've worked so hard to build would collapse in an instant.
The veteran team member who had previously fed Lai Chuan Huang Quan beef jerky quickly pulled out a pair of scissors and snipped off the piece of beef jerky from Lai Chuan Huang Quan's mouth: "I touched this piece; it's dirty. I'll get you a clean one."
The entire set of movements was extremely respectful.
Seeing that everyone was treating Yomi Laichuan very well and patiently playing with her, Kenji Hagiwara went back to his office alone to find the documents his superior had requested. When he came out again, Yomi Laichuan's feet were surrounded by a pile of snacks.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan stood atop a small hill made of sealed beef jerky, chin held high, looking arrogant, like a fox spirit being worshipped.
A clueless new team member asked, "Can I make a wish on this dog called Little Witch?"
After saying that, he put his hands together in front of Lai Chuan Huang Quan and said, "Please! Please let me get a lovely girlfriend!"
Kenji Hagiwara, leaning against the table, silently opened a can of coffee without saying a word. Fulfilling wishes was impossible; even as the boyfriend of the fox...dog-spirit, he hadn't been able to fulfill his own wishes.
Kenji Hagiwara's bringing the puppy to work was covered up by his teammates. When he was about to leave after get off work, he put Yomi Laichuan back into his pocket, but was stopped by a female police officer from the traffic department.
"Officer Hagiwara, there's a social event this weekend, do you want to come?"
Kenji Hagiwara's rumored girlfriend has been nowhere to be seen for three years, leading to rumors that the Metropolitan Police Department's popular heartthrob, Ikemen, is single again. However, he is rejected every time he tries to flirt with or invite her out, leading some to speculate that Hagiwara must have been deeply hurt and is still struggling to move on.
So, when female police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department were chatting, they would occasionally say something that sounded familiar to Yomi Yorikawa: "I really wish Officer Hagiwara's ex-girlfriend would teach me a class, and I would be willing to listen on my knees."
Even with the timeline reset, the same request unexpectedly reappeared.
"Officer Hagiwara, let's go to a mixer, let's go!"
"Everyone is really looking forward to your presence."
The policewomen surrounded Kenji Hagiwara, while maintaining a polite distance, and extended invitations to him with smiles.
Hearing the policewomen's playful invitations, the little dumpling in her pocket became unhappy. Afraid that being discovered would have a bad influence on Kenji Hagiwara, she didn't dare to say a word—after all, they were in a public area of the Metropolitan Police Department, and not every officer was as loyal and obedient as the SMAT officers.
But she didn't make a sound; instead, her paws started kicking wildly in her pockets, scratching at Kenji Hagiwara's thighs through the thin fabric.
"Sorry, sorry, that won't work this time either."
Kenji Hagiwara smiled and declined the invitation. He pretended to put his hands in his pockets, but his fingers were actually kneading Yomi Rikawa inside his pants pockets. Since Kenji Hagiwara couldn't see what was inside his pockets, he could only rub and knead Yomi Rikawa's body haphazardly by feel.
Yomi Lai was furious and refused to obediently accept Kenji Hagiwara's caresses. She hooked her claws around Kenji Hagiwara's fingers and, in a fit of anger, howled and tried to climb up on him.
But the puppy's teeth weren't fully developed yet. Lai Chuan Huang Quan forcefully gnawed at Hagiwara Kenji's fingers, but apart from getting his fingertips covered in saliva, it didn't hurt at all.
"Huh? So we can't go this time either?"
Kenji Hagiwara responded with a polite smile: "Oh right, I'm spending this weekend with my girlfriend."
She rubbed Lai Chuan Huang Quan's fluffy little ears with her fingers and continued, "Besides, it's really not suitable for someone like me who has a girlfriend to participate in these kinds of social events."
The policewomen were stunned: "Girlfriend!?" They had never heard of Kenji Hagiwara being close to any woman.
Kenji Hagiwara explained, "She went abroad three years ago and just came back yesterday." After saying that, he glanced at the time and said, "Oh, sorry, I have to hurry back to be with my girlfriend, so I'll be going now."
It wasn't until Kenji Hagiwara got into the car that the little dumpling poked its head out, whimpering, and crawled out of its pants pocket.
Kenji Hagiwara glanced down at Yomi Raikawa, who was sitting proudly on his lap, seemingly accusing him: "Taking you to the supermarket? To stock up on snacks."
Lai Chuan Huang Quan: "Aww~!"
Forget about the accusation for a second.
Kenji Hagiwara laughed as he took off his suit jacket, grabbed Yomi Laichuan, and stuffed her into his white shirt pocket; "If you sit on my lap, you'll roll around again when I brake."
The little dumpling nestled against Kenji Hagiwara's chest, the uniquely masculine heat traveling through the point of contact to Yomi Laichuan, her powerful heartbeat pounding in her ear. Yomi Laichuan tilted her head back, from which she could just see the sharply defined jawline of Kenji Hagiwara.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan stared blankly at Hagiwara Kenji's slender neck and Adam's apple, suddenly recalling the night she confessed her feelings and the moment Hagiwara Kenji pulled her into his arms and kissed her. At that time, she had also looked up at him at close range. The Adam's apple bobbed, and although it was just an ordinary male feature, Lai Chuan Huang Quan inexplicably wanted to lean forward and gently bite it.
Unfortunately, she's a puppy now, so she can't bite him. But it's precisely because she's a puppy that she can shamelessly peek at Kenji Hagiwara up close.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan thought she hadn't been caught peeping, so she kept wagging her tail and giggling foolishly.
“Let’s go,” Kenji Hagiwara parked the car in the parking lot outside the car market. He held Yomi Laichuan’s hand and said, “Shh, I’ll take you in quietly. Don’t make a sound.” He then stuffed the little dumpling into his pocket.
He pulled a shopping cart from the supermarket entrance, entered the supermarket, and only after confirming that no one was around did he take Lai Chuan Huang Quan out and place him on the ground.
Today is a weekday, and Sam's Club has a strict membership system, so there weren't many people in the supermarket.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan walked with a bouncy gait, a citrus-flavored hard candy that Hagiwara Kenji had prepared in advance dangling from her mouth, and she moved nimbly between the shelves.
Kenji Hagiwara pushed a shopping cart, slowly following behind Yomi Laichuan.
"Woohoo~"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan raised one of her front paws and pointed to the bear-shaped biscuit directly in front of her. She turned her head and stared at Hagiwara Kenji, sticking out her tongue and wagging her tail like a propeller.
It's said that cats and their tails are two different kinds of creatures. Lai Chuan Huang Quan and her tail are probably two different kinds of creatures as well, she was completely unaware that she had wiggled her butt into a circle.
"Okay, okay," Kenji Hagiwara said with a smile, squatting down in front of her with a box of different flavored bear cookies in each hand. "Which flavor do you want?"
"Aww~!"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan raised her pink little paws and pointed to the chocolate flavor on the left.
"What about these two? -- Mango flavor, that's pretty good. -- And these two?"
When Kenji Hagiwara put the selected bear-shaped cookies into the basket, Yomi Laichuan got so excited that she spun around in place and wagged her tail wildly without realizing it.
Kenji Hagiwara suppressed a laugh and pretended nothing had happened as he pushed his bike behind Yomi Laichuan, but secretly took out his phone to record the scene before him.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan's tilted head and bouncy posture is so cute, I have to record it.
