I put the letters I have read in my pocket and I am reluctant to throw them away even after reading them.
Fujiwara Yu habitually took out the alcohol disinfectant spray he carried with him before meals. Before spraying, he remembered that the previous letter was picked up from the trash can, which caused him to stop pressing the spray head.
He curled the corners of his mouth. Unusually, he did not disinfect before the meal, but simply wiped it with a wet tissue. Some habits may gradually change when meeting certain people. This is a good start.
Six years ago, his mysophobia did improve to a certain extent, but the incident that happened before he joined the CIA made his mysophobia, which had been relieved, become even worse... Now that it has been relieved again, it is undoubtedly good for Fujiwara Yu.
He also didn't want to openly take out alcohol disinfectant spray when interacting with strangers. Not only would it create a bad impression on others, but it could also easily lead to misunderstandings. He never liked to explain, and some things were difficult to explain clearly.
Fujiwara Yu put his hands together and said silently in his heart, "I'm starting to eat." He picked up the fork and skillfully rolled up the pasta. The rich red sauce made people feel hungry before he even put it in his mouth.
The first thing you smell is the unique aroma of garlic, and as you chew it slowly you can feel the nutty aroma of pine nuts and the fresh fragrance of arugula.
The cherry tomatoes roasted in the oven have a strong sour flavor, paired with the soft, sweet roasted pumpkin slices and butter shrimps with black pepper grains. The layered texture and flavor create a sense of touch that makes your taste buds bloom on the tip of your tongue.
It was the first time that Fujiwara Yu understood that deliciousness could also be a "verb"... Isn't it a "verb" to allow a variety of different ingredients and seasonings to blend together and dance an elegant waltz in the mouth?
This garlic shrimp pasta successfully hit his food preference. Although it is a staple food, it also serves as an appetizer. This also made him look forward to the delicious-looking Hungarian spicy chicken legs.
The chicken thighs, stewed until tender, can be easily removed from the bones. The spicy sauce has a natural sweetness, which is not caused by the chili powder, but by the sweetness of the onions sautéed in olive oil.
The highlight of this dish is not the onions, but the sour cream, which is absolutely indispensable.
The sour cream and flour mixed into the sauce not only thickened it but also added a refreshing sourness to the spicy flavor. Even if you eat three large chicken drumsticks in one go, you won't feel sick of the taste and may even want a bowl of fragrant rice.
Unfortunately, Fujiwara Yu's appetite was not big enough, and finishing these two dishes was his limit.
After enjoying the delicious meal, he did not linger any longer. He simply grabbed his windbreaker and drove his car to the "super yer" several kilometers away.
This store is not unfamiliar to Fujiwara Yu. Six years ago, he came here with Miyano Akemi and revealed that he was a gaming black hole. It was only after that that he began to painstakingly study the skills of the game.
Six years have passed, and the store hasn't been renovated, not even the flashing frequency of the neon sign has changed. But upon entering the store, you can clearly feel the difference.
For example, many machines that have never been seen before have been updated, and there are even a few machines with the "Ichiban Ku" label on them. The shelves next to them are filled with models of different characters, which seem to be prizes.
Maybe it was because of Valentine's Day, the store had more customers than usual.
Fujiwara Yuu walked towards the counter and asked directly if a girl named "Saito" had left a letter there. The employee at the counter quickly took out a pale blue envelope and said with a smile:
"Sir, in addition to this letter, the lady also prepared a gift for you."
A black tiger doll with half-moon eyes appeared in Fujiwara Yu's field of vision. He took the doll with a wry smile. Was it prepared for him because he anticipated that he would not be able to catch the doll and would get carried away?
He reached out to take the tiger doll, politely thanked the employee, and then found a relatively quiet corner to stand in.
Before leaving the counter, Fujiwara Yu heard two staff members whispering. Coincidentally, his hearing was very good and he heard every word of their conversation.
——"This is the first time I've seen a date like this. As a single person, I'm a little envious."
——"Yeah, and the combination of beautiful women and handsome men is really pleasing to the eyes. When I have a boyfriend, I want to go on a date like this too. It's really novel and unique!"
——"Yes! I feel like even if time passes, this Valentine's Day will still be fresh in my memory."
Want to date?
It turns out that in the eyes of outsiders, they look like a couple.
My ears started to heat up, but luckily my hands were cool enough and they provided some relief when I covered them.
Fujiwara Yu quickly walked to a corner near the staff lounge. He took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat before opening the envelope. After seeing the contents inside, a hint of loss appeared in his eyes.
He didn't expect the "date" to end so soon, and he felt a little reluctant.
It seemed that every time something happened with her, he longed for time to last longer.
However, time cannot be extended, which is why Fujiwara Yu cherishes every time he spends with Miyano Akemi. Even if it is just an email or a phone call, he will treasure it in his own way.
Limited things are valuable, he has always known this truth.
"Will you get mad at not being able to catch the doll again this time? That was the first time I realized Fujiwara-kun had a childish side. The next address is the last stop of the journey. I'll wait for you somewhere at Beika Station?(???)?."
Rice flower station.
Although the address is a bit ambiguous, with a little recollection you can guess the address of the last letter.
Six years ago, he and she took the subway at Beihua Station to go to "Super Yard", and a small accident happened during the subway ride, but she didn't notice it.
Fujiwara Yu subconsciously pressed his fingertips on his Adam's apple and rubbed it gently. He couldn't help but cough twice when he thought of the scene at that time. Even after six years, he could still clearly feel the itch when he recalled it.
Especially when she raised her head to look at him, the narrow space made him involuntarily focus all his attention on her lips.
What were you thinking at that time?
Most likely, I want to do something that I can't do, like... kissing.
But he would not do that, because they were just friends, and he could not do such irresponsible behavior without taking that step, so he successfully got through it by saying "I have a little stiff neck".
Fujiwara Yu put the third letter in his pocket and rushed to Beika Station with anticipation.
He was curious about what she would prepare for him as a surprise ending.
