Chapter 165



The weather was good on the day of the flower show. The sun was shining brightly but it didn't feel scorching, just the right warmth. Jiang Lai wore a white shirt with a simple and elegant abstract painting of black lines printed on it. Kurosawa Akira, who was standing next to him, put his hands in his pockets and walked close to Jiang Lai.

This flower show was sponsored by Samuel L. Samuel. It was elegantly decorated and rented an entire venue, using a variety of flowers to create beautiful and exquisite patterns.

Jiang Lai: There are actually flowers that grow out of season... But if you think about it carefully, there shouldn't be anything strange about special cultivation.

Jiang Lai could smell the fragrance of flowers floating in the air before he even reached the main entrance of the flower exhibition. The sun was shining through the clouds at this moment, a little blinding. He raised his hand to block it, and heard Komiyayama Yuu's voice in his ear: "Rai-kun, here~"

He put his hand down. A young man in light beige appeared in front of him. He was also wearing a casual shirt with a camera hanging on his chest. He waved his right hand in the crowd without any shame: "Here."

Jiang Lai walked over holding Kurosawa Akira's hand and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come earlier than me. I even left early on purpose." It was not yet the time they had agreed on.

"I usually come half an hour early." Komiyayama Yuu blinked, "This way others don't have to wait for me - and Lai-kun just fell ill with a fever not long ago, and I can't let you stand and wait for me in vain."

Jiang Lai smiled and said with emotion: "Komiyayama's personality is really comfortable to get along with."

"I also like being with Lai-kun." Upon hearing this, Yuu Komiyayama smiled in a W-shaped smile.

After exchanging a few words with Jiang Lai, he then looked down at Kurosawa Akira and greeted him in a friendly manner: "Long time no see, classmate Kurosawa."

"Hello, Brother Komiyama." Kurosawa Akira's reply was still polite and distant.

Although Komiyama Yuu is the organization's Pinot Noir, he seems to have never reported the matter about Kurosawa Akira to the organization. On the one hand, he may not be familiar with Gin and does not care about these similarities; on the other hand, he probably does not want the organization to interfere with his process of finding a "good friend".

Perverts usually focus on things that they care about.

Jiang Lai was naturally happy to see his attitude, and it also saved him some trouble.

"Let's go and start from here?" Yu Komiyayama asked, pointing to the left.

"It's all fine. We're just looking at the flowers anyway." Jiang Lai answered indifferently.

Komiyayama Yuu walked beside Jiang Lai, and said with a smile on his lips: "So, Lai-kun, do you have a favorite flower? I'll take a photo of you there when the time comes."

"Hey, do you have a favorite flower?" Jiang Lai tilted his head slightly. "Actually, I don't have any special feelings. If I have to say... I think sunflowers."

"Sunflower?" Yu Komiyayama repeated in a low voice, raising his W-shaped smile, "It suits you very well, Lai-kun! Light and warmth and all that." His purple eyes were like flowing stars, staring at the black-haired young man.

"Oh no," Jiang Lai scratched his head, "I said sunflower simply because its seeds are edible and taste good. I like to crack sunflower seeds when watching movies, and the spiced and creamy flavors are my favorites."

Kurosawa Akira continued: "I also like to eat butter-flavored melon seeds."

Komiyayama Yu: "...??"

The great magician Jiang Lai used the [Atmosphere Disappearing Technique]! ! The atmosphere created by Komiyayama-kun disappeared! !

Komiyayama Yuu: "Haha, Rai-kun is quite humorous."

The young man with light beige hair said naturally, "It seems that Mr. Lai doesn't pay much attention to flowers on weekdays, but there are more surprises in this flower show. If there are flowers you like, I can take a photo of you and Kurosawa."

"Okay, let's take a group photo of the three of us later." Jiang Lai's warm brown eyes were shining with smiles, "You can't be left behind - let's take a photo together." He said seriously.

Komiyayama paused for a moment and replied with a smile: "Together."

After passing a tulip field, we arrived at the Suzuran field. Jiang Lai asked a tourist to take a group photo for the three of them. In addition, Komiyayama Yu also took many photos with his own camera.

The young man with light beige hair lowered his head and flipped through the photos in his camera one by one. His eyes were slightly narrowed, his expression focused and happy. He seemed to be in a good mood, and a hint of real emotion slipped out from under his fake appearance.

Jiang Lai noticed what Komiyama was focusing on. He raised his lips, took a few steps closer, looked at the photo curiously, and praised with a mixture of surprise and joy: "Wow, Komiyama's photography skills are great!" He pointed to a photo on the camera, "Well, I like this one very much."

He tilted his head and said with a smile: "Perhaps besides being a police officer, the career of photographer is also very suitable for you."

Komiyayama Yuu was slightly stunned, then smiled like a cat: "Really? Photography is indeed a hobby..." His fingertips unconsciously rubbed the bottom of the camera, "But I feel like my friends around me will think I'm idle or something."

"No, and this is your hobby." Jiang Lai immediately shook his head, denying Komiyama Yu's idea, "Photography is a super practical and important skill, people don't think so." At this point, the black-haired young man's expression brightened, "By the way - next time we have a party, I'll trouble you to take pictures, Komiyama! This way we don't have to hire a professional photographer."

"Eh? Can I?"

"Why not?" Jiang Lai raised his hand and gently patted the other person's shoulder, saying in a half-joking tone, "It's really unlike you to be so indecisive."

The young man with light beige hair held the camera tightly, his fingertips turned slightly white, he curled his eyebrows and said in a cheerful voice: "Okay, leave it to me next time!"

Komiyayama Yuu exaggeratedly opened his arms and looked around Jiang Lai, "Rai-kun is the first person who invited me to be a photographer. You are indeed my good friend--!"

Jiang Lai smiled and said, "Because Mr. Komiya is usually busy with work, he doesn't take pictures in front of his colleagues very often." His warm brown eyes looked at the person in front of him seriously, "If other people noticed Mr. Komiya's photography, they would also praise you."

"Great, my confidence has increased!" Yu Komiyayama clenched his fists, his fine light beige hair swayed in the light with a dazzling luster, and his tone was bright and energetic.

Jiang Lai withdrew his gaze, the smile still on his face, but his eyes were very calm.

Along the way, he noticed Komiyama Yuu's obsession with photography, and just now he observed his expression and caught his happy and relaxed posture. He thought that Komiyama Yuu probably liked this.

Affirming others' strengths and encouraging their hobbies is what good friends should do, isn't it? Jiang Lai tucked a strand of her half-long black hair behind her ear, thinking casually.

Kurosawa Akira did not speak throughout the whole process. He just stood in front of the science board of Suzuranka and scanned the words on it like an ordinary child.

They were a little tired after walking here, so they just took a rest on the bench next to the Suzuran area. Komiyayama Yuu was full of energy. He held his camera and smiled and said that he would go to the exhibition hall in front to explore the way and come back soon.

Jiang Lai waved goodbye to the other party with a smile. After the young man with light beige hair disappeared from his sight, he turned his eyes and looked to the other side.

From the other side, Samuster walked out slowly in a neat uniform, a white shirt inside and an elegant black tuxedo outside, which made his figure look slimmer. With a perfect smile on his face, he walked to Jiang Lai's side and said, "Good morning, Mr. Jiang."

Seeing the formally dressed Samuster, Jiang Lai was silent. He glanced at the tourists around him wearing short-sleeved skirts, then turned back to the blond man in a strict uniform. His first reaction was: Isn't it hot?

The other party has the same magical attribute as Gin. He will not feel cold or hot even if he wears the uniform all year round!

His mind was full of wild thoughts for a moment, but Jiang Lai remained calm on the surface and nodded, "Well, good morning." He then turned his head and said to Kurosawa Akira beside him, "I remember there was a drink vending machine on the road just now. Xiao Zhao, can you help buy a few bottles of drinks?"

Kurosawa Akira nodded obediently and cooperatively: "Okay, Brother Jiang Lai."

After the silver-haired boy left, only Samuster and Jiang Lai were left at the scene.

"I just saw you." Jiang Lai said first, "Why have you been standing there?"

"I saw Mr. Jiang chatting with your friend, so I waited for a while. I didn't want to disturb your interest." Samuster's words were perfect.

"You don't have to treat me like that when you're out in public." Jiang Lai said calmly, "Just treat me like you would treat an ordinary person."

"Okay." Samuste chuckled and changed the subject smoothly. "Then I'll still call you Mr. Young Master, the original title."

"Okay." Jiang Lai nodded, and changed his tone, smiling like the snow melting away, "Okay, Mr. Samuster."

At this moment, Jiang Lai had his back to the glass window. He tilted his head, and a beam of sunlight coming in from outside the exhibition hall just happened to pass over his left eye, leaving spots of light on his eyelashes, reflecting an ordinary yet charming warm brown color, like the pure and warm eyes of an alpine antelope.

The contrast between the bright and dark eyes of the left and right eyes makes the picture more impactful.

Samuster couldn't help but exclaim: "Long time no see, your eyes are still so beautiful." His fingers moved slightly and then stopped, as if he was restraining some action, and his words were full of praise and respect.

Jiang Lai adjusted his posture, and the light and dark scene disappeared. He looked at the blond gentleman with a slightly dissatisfied look, and said in a low voice: "...I said, treat me as you would treat ordinary people."

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I couldn't control myself for a moment." Samuster quickly adjusted his state and returned to the attitude he had when he first met Jiang Lai.

"I was just distracted for a moment because of those beautiful eyes." Samust adjusted his glasses gracefully. "-Come to think of it, the purple eyes of your friend today are also very nice, like the Slingilla amethyst I collected not long ago." He commented.

"Really?" Jiang Lai raised his lips slightly and continued, "Do you like it?"

"Hmm?" Samuster was slightly startled, then laughed, "Not bad. It's of a quality that can be ranked second."

"Then... it's up to you." Jiang Lai glanced over, raised the corners of his lips, and spoke with a bit of casualness and laziness, "I interrupted you last time, this time I won't interfere again."

"——Whether you can get it or not depends on you."
