In the public rest area on the first floor of the dormitory, Yi Dahang rarely did not call his girlfriend Natalie today. He dialed the number that he had kept in mind for a long time, but he did not expect that the call would be connected so quickly at this time.
Perhaps it had been a while since I called, so I didn't know what to say. But Ida's father on the other end of the phone seemed to know his son's character and took the initiative to speak:
"Is that Ah Hang? Why did you call me suddenly? And isn't the timing weird? Did you hide your phone?"
No one knows a son better than his father. There is no one in this world who understands a son better than his father. If there is, it must be the mother.
Yi Dahang felt warm in his heart. Mobile phones can recognize caller ID, so his father was just giving him a way out. He raised the corners of his mouth and asked about his well-being:
"I'm calling you from a pay phone... Dad, how are you feeling lately?"
Ida Masamichi, who was wearing a green cleaning uniform, couldn't help but stop tapping his waist. He straightened his back as much as possible, holding the mop beside him, and smiled with a toothpick in his mouth:
"I'm in good health, and your mother is also very healthy. She even goes out to play a few rounds of mahjong from time to time. Ah Hang, don't worry about home when you're away. I'm here for you!"
"Is that so? I'm relieved then." Yi Dahang paused, thinking of the agreement he had made with Natalie. He said, "By the way, Dad, there's a girl I want you to meet. I'll bring her to you after graduation."
"Huh? You want me to meet a girl? Hahaha, you're already that old..."
As someone who has been through this, Ida Masamichi naturally understood what this girl, whom he had yet to meet, meant to his son. It seemed that Ahang had really grown up and knew how to find a girlfriend, and even had plans to meet his parents.
"Come on, I'm already twenty-two! Although we haven't seen each other for a while, you may have forgotten that I'm already twenty-two." Yi Dahang took out a can of toothpicks from his pocket, gently poured out one and put it in his mouth. This was specially bought before leaving the convenience store.
Fujiwara Yu, who was sitting on the sofa waiting, couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly. He felt that the squad leader's words had inadvertently hit a large number of students in the police academy, and even a certain 48-year-old single instructor.
"By the way, how's life at the police academy? Have you made any good friends you can trust?" asked Masamichi Ida.
Date Kou turned sideways to look at Fujiwara Yuu, who was sitting on the sofa and occasionally looked at him. His voice was light and cheerful:
"Life in the police academy is very fulfilling, and I've found like-minded friends. Don't worry, Dad."
A smile appeared in Fujiwara Yu's eyes when he heard the word "best friend". He felt the joy of having a partner for the first time in his life in the police academy.
You have to remember that in my previous life, I was always alone, and the relationships I built were limited to doctor and patient. I was so busy with work that I had no time to make friends. In this life, because of the protection of my family, I couldn't interact with outsiders, and thus lost the possibility of making friends.
So Fujiwara Yu was very glad that he could attend the police academy, and even more glad that he met her and them.
When Ida Masamichi heard that his son had found a close friend, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. This showed that his son was quite popular in school, considering that he had only been in school for a month.
"Then do you think you can be a good police officer who constantly works hard to protect the public interest?"
"Of course, but I'm still no match for you, Dad!"
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about?" Date Masamichi said this, but the wrinkles around his eyes from smiling revealed his true feelings. He smiled and said, "It's getting late. You should go upstairs and sleep quickly. Don't disturb the other students' rest."
"Well, be safe on your way home, Dad."
Although Ida Ko hadn't been home for two years, he still met with his mother secretly. During the several meetings with his mother, he also learned that his father had found a job as a cleaner at Beihua General Hospital, so he knew that he should still be cleaning at this time.
And there was a ringing sound on the other end of the phone just now, which clearly meant a patient in the inpatient building was calling for a nurse.
After hanging up the phone, Date Ko looked at Fujiwara Yu, who had no intention of calling, and sat down next to him, asking curiously:
"Aren't there two pay phones? Or... do you just want to chat with me?"
Fujiwara Yuu wasn't really there to make a phone call; he was there to be alone with the squad leader for selfish reasons. He guessed the squad leader would call his father tonight, so offering to make a call now would distract him.
As for the reason why he wanted to be alone with the monitor, it was because he wanted to ask the monitor some questions about love, so he wanted to invite him to sit outside on his day off next week.
"Squad leader, do you have any appointments next Sunday? If not, I'd like to treat you to a meal."
"Invite me to dinner?" After guessing the reason, Yi Dahang smiled and raised his eyebrows and joked, "If you try to get close to me for no reason, you're either a traitor or a thief."
"No, I just want to ask, squad leader, when did you realize that you fell in love with your girlfriend?" Fujiwara Yu's question could be said to be very tactful. He actually wanted to ask how to get closer to the person he likes.
Date Kou already knew what Fujiwara wanted to ask, so he smiled and patted his shoulder.
"I see! I was originally planning to go to the nearby basketball court to play bullfighting, but since you wanted to ask me about love, I'll naturally accompany you!"
Fujiwara Yu's face turned red visibly when his little thoughts were seen through. The emotional fluctuation caused by shyness even automatically released a trace of wind power, causing a sudden gust of cold wind to blow through the room.
This made Yi Dahang a little confused. He rubbed his arms and asked:
"Fujiwara, did you feel the wind blowing past just now?"
Fujiwara Yuu, who knew what was going on, naturally couldn't say that he did it. He had to show off his acting skills as much as possible, deliberately turning his head to look at the closed window beside him, and said with confusion:
"No? The window is also closed. It must be your illusion."
"That must have been my illusion." Yi Dahang didn't dwell on the question. He stood up and said with interest, "I told you before that you shouldn't have any concerns at the age of twenty. Was it then that I was clear that I had feelings for her?"
Fujiwara Yu couldn't help but recall the scene when they first met. He didn't refuse her coming. Maybe he had a good impression of her since then.
All love at first sight comes from appearance - Fujiwara Yu had to admit that he liked Saito Masami's appearance very much, but in the process of getting along, he was gradually attracted by her personality.
He likes her.
“Maybe sooner.”
Hearing Fujiwara's frank answer, Date Ko's mind flashed back to the scene when he first met Natalie. Did he have any feelings for her at that time?
The answer should be yes.
Although I helped her out of justice, seeing her shy look when she thanked me was like the spring breeze of April blowing into my heart - it was so heart-pounding.
"Then let's go out together next week. Now go upstairs and wash up and go to bed."
"Um."
