Wood is wood.
Miyano Akemi didn't expect Fujiwara Yuu to understand what she meant. She reached out and pulled down the red scarf around her neck, leaned over to the cup and took a sip of the delicious oden broth. After swallowing it, she replied calmly:
"Fujiwara-kun, you might not know your own charm. I think you're cute when you're dumb."
His charm is that he looks cute and dumb?
Fujiwara Yuu raised a brow, a hint of confusion on his face. He had never heard anyone mention this aspect of his charm since he was a child. Some had complimented his looks, others his height and education. Even if someone liked his personality, it was probably because they thought a cool and distant guy was less likely to flirt, not because his personality was truly endearing.
So how does Akemi Miyano see "cute" in herself? She has nothing to do with these two words.
"Your brow must be furrowed again now, right? Frowning while thinking will give you wrinkles."
After hearing what Miyano Akemi said, Fujiwara Yu raised his hand and touched his forehead. After realizing that he had done such a thing, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Haha, I never thought that I have reached the age where I care about wrinkles.
"Why do you use the word cute to describe me? Apart from this, don't I have any other... cough, charm?" Fujiwara Yu's expression became a little awkward. He buried his face in the rim of the cup uncomfortably, always feeling that it was a very shameful act to actively ask others to praise him.
Miyano Akemi didn't expect Fujiwara Yuu to ask her this question so directly. She thought for a while and replied:
"You have so many charming points. Officer Takashi even has a support blog. Many people on the message board are curious about your private life. I wonder if Mr. Takashi could give me a private interview time?"
She had indeed read that support blog, otherwise she wouldn't have sent such an email.
"If you are the reporter, I would be happy to accompany you."
He always said something that moved people's hearts without realizing it. Miyano Akemi couldn't help but tighten her hands around the oden, and after trying to calm her heartbeat, she asked:
"Then...can you tell me why you left without a word six years ago?"
In the end, she asked the question buried in her heart. Even if she didn't get an answer, she wanted to try her luck.
The ultramarine Tong Kong shrank suddenly. It was not because he was surprised by the question, but he did not expect Miyano Akemi to ask at this time.
Fujiwara Yu lowered his eyes and pressed his thin lips into a straight line. He really didn't know where to start. Some things involved the confidentiality of the secret investigation team.
Even though he knew that Miyano Akemi was forced to join the organization, he couldn't reveal the truth.
"Sorry, it's not the right time yet. Can you wait a moment?"
He really didn't like making her wait, which was why he rushed to Beihua Station in a hurry.
But now, he had to make this request.
"You've already said sorry twice today. You don't have to apologize to me."
Miyano Akemi is a thoughtful person. She asked this question just to get a definite answer. The answer is not about the truth of leaving without saying goodbye. She just wants to know whether this matter is important to Fujiwara Yu.
Now it seems that something very important has happened, so much so that even someone who is always punctual and keeps his promises has made a mistake.
"……Um."
"I'll wait for you no matter how long it takes. It's getting late, go back and get some rest."
Fujiwara Yu's eyelids twitched slightly, and after two seconds of silence, the smile returned to her face. He should have guessed that based on her personality, she would not make things difficult for him. She was kind and smart, and such a girl should definitely not be missed.
He didn't want any of his regrets in life to be related to her.
"Well, be careful on the way back. Do you want me to follow you?"
"You'd better use your tracking skills on the case. I'll email you when I get home, don't worry."
"good."
After the call ended, Fujiwara Yuu remained in the conversation, pocketing his phone only after Miyano Akemi disappeared into the crowd. He blended into the crowd rushing to the exit, returned to the parking lot next to the station, opened the car door, and got in. Instead of starting the car, he took out his phone and dialed Yin Dahang's number.
But thinking that this time might disturb the squad leader, I had to hang up before the busy tone came.
The squad leader couldn't fight, Matsuda had no experience in love so it was pointless to ask, Akihara seemed to be very capable but he was purely a virgin bachelor who only knew how to talk in theory... As for the two who were still undercover in the organization, they were not worth consulting.
After thinking for a long time, Fujiwara Yuu decided to call a reliable married man. After the call was connected, he got straight to the point, lying without even a frown:
"Herbert, I have a friend who wants to consult me about something, but I have no experience here, so I wanted to ask you."
"Is there anything else that you, Claire, don't know?" Yinsen Hondou straightened his back with interest. He was curious about what question had stumped Fujiwara Yu.
"Isn't there a saying that boys need to give girls gifts in return on White Day? My friend wants to give a gift to the girl he likes, and he asked me, but I don't know what to get. So I wanted to ask you for advice on what gift to give that won't make her feel burdened or seem stingy."
It was the first time that Yinsen Hondou heard Fujiwara Yu talk about emotional matters. From the tone of the questions and the details of the content, he could analyze that this matter was definitely not about friends.
Could this Fujiwara guy be so "kind-hearted"?
According to Fujiwara Yu's personality, he would most likely say to his friend: If you ask me what to do, go ask someone else.
So this matter must be related to Fujiwara Yu. Has this guy finally found his true love?
"So it's a question of affection." Yinsen Hondou didn't expose Fujiwara Yu's subtle thoughts and answered accordingly, "As for gifts, just prepare them carefully and cater to their preferences. For example, aren't honmei chocolate and giri chocolate very popular in Japan? Just give whatever you like."
"Can I just give you chocolate?"
"Didn't you say you have a crush on someone? You're not together yet, so there's no need to give them expensive gifts. When you're together in the future, you can give them whatever you want, even a ring." Yinsen Bentang said meaningfully.
Fujiwara Yuu, who was diligently taking notes, didn't react to Yinsen Hondou's "you guys." He nodded subconsciously, his expression more serious than when he was interrogating a prisoner.
"Okay, I understand. I'll tell my friend that."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up. You better keep going."
After hanging up the phone, Fujiwara Yu started the car and prepared to return to Beido Zunhao Hotel. It was not until he returned to the hotel and was holding the room card to open the door that his reflexes finally returned to normal.
Wait, Mr. Hondou seemed to say just now...you need to work harder?
Damn, I was so focused I didn’t even notice his teasing.
Married men are really "cunning".
