After assisting the local police on the scene to deal with the aftermath, Kenji Hagiwara walked towards them. He still had the serious demeanor he had just acquired, and he was so calm that he made people believe and trust him.

When he walked up to Jiang Lai and Amuro Toru, he had put away the aura he had just displayed while handling the case, and returned to his usual lively and casual demeanor.

"Ahem, such a strong smell of toilet water." Hagiwara Kenji fanned his hands and joked, "Did you fall into the toilet water pool?"

Amuro Toru kept smiling: "It was just a simple spray."

"There are many mosquitoes around trees, so spray more to avoid being bitten." Jiang Lai said, and took out another bottle of floral water from his bag, "Shall I spray some for you too?"

"I don't want to—" Hagiwara Kenji smiled and dodged to the side, "I don't know how long it will take for the smell to dissipate."

"Isn't it a good thing to keep it going a little longer?" Jiang Lai laughed.

"You have to drink it in moderation. If it's too strong, you'll suffocate."

Jiang Lai: "Huh? Really?"

He had a slight cold and a stuffy nose, so he couldn't smell the strong scent of the toilet water and didn't mind it too much.

Amuro: ...I can smell it. :-D

"Okay, now that we've dealt with this, let's go back." Hagiwara Kenji smoothed his hair, "Ahem, this floral water smell...you two need to change clothes when you go back."

"By the way, Xiao Jianglai, have you had some water? Remember to take your medicine according to the instructions when you return to the hotel."

"Thank you first. But, Hagiwara, are you an old mother?" Jiang Lai half-jokingly asked, "I'm already an adult, and you still have to watch me drink water."

"You're a patient, so of course I have to take care of you when you're sick--" Hagiwara Kenji put his hand on Jiang Lai's shoulder, "and..." The second half of the sentence was spoken in a low voice and stopped abruptly without being uttered.

——And you are the student he chose, a benchmark of light.

Jiang Lai looked at Hagiwara Kenji's expression and had guessed what he was going to say in the second half of the sentence, but he still asked, "And what?"

"And you don't want to take medicine." Hagiwara Kenji grabbed Jiang Lai's cheek and said with a smile, "Of course I have to supervise you carefully."

"Hey Hagiwara, stop pulling your face!"

"Hahaha, ok~ Xiao Jiang Lai."

Jiang Lai rubbed his red face, thinking in his heart, "When will Hagiwara Kenji take off his strange loneliness filter?", and glanced at the blond man standing on the side.

Toru Amuro kept a safe distance from him, a fake smile on his face from the beginning, all his emotions deeply hidden in his purple-gray eyes, and his attempts were just passing by without leaving any trace.

Jiang Lai: ...So when I went to take a shower last night, did you really communicate? What did you communicate about?

Why is your impression of me so different now?

Kenji Hagiwara (Level 10 filter): Jiang Lai is a warm and kind neighbor and good friend. He is a student chosen by his childhood sweetheart. He represents his bright side and is a friend who needs to be taken care of.

Toru Amuro (adjustable sunglasses): a mixture of vigilance and confusion, with a tentative gesture.

Jiang Lai: ...step forward.

Back in the room, Amuro Toru, in accordance with the agreement made with Jiang Lai during the day, asked Jiang Lai carefully about his former neighbor as a detective who was helping to find people in the vast world.

Jiang Lai had actually prepared a script and answer in his mind, so there was no conflict in the logic of what he said. By the end, he almost believed it.

Toru Amuro looked serious throughout the whole process, his purple-gray eyes sparkling like high-quality crystals.

He wrote down the questions quickly. After asking the last question, he closed the notebook, looked up and smiled, "Okay, I understand almost everything - do you have a photo of him?"

"No." Jiang Lai shook his head. "He doesn't like taking pictures, so I haven't taken any." He blinked. "Is it not enough to just describe my appearance?"

"It's not impossible, but if there are photos, it might be smoother." Amuro Toru nodded, "It's fine like this now."

Toru Amuro looked at the contents of his own records. The appearance information described by Jiang Lai was actually very unfamiliar to him - only the pair of blue-gray slanted eyes coincided with his childhood appearance.

Amuro Toru had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but his face showed nothing. He just put away the notebook smoothly and smiled, "Well, I'll let you know if there's any news."

"Okay~" Jiang Lai responded loudly.

The three days in Sakura Valley passed quickly. In the last half day, Jiang Lai asked Toru Amuro and Kenji Hagiwara to write 10,000 words for him each.

Jiang Lai: This is the benefit of friends! The value of friends is fully reflected! ! (thumbs-up.jpg)

In return, Jiang Lai treated them to dinner and gave them the special ornament of this place - the Sakura Medal.

Jiang Lai smiled and said, "This is a limited edition! It's hard to get. Luckily, I was lucky enough to win two. One for each of you two."

At the same time, I complained in my heart. Maybe it was the law of conservation of luck. I was unlucky before and met Samuster, but now my luck has improved and I won the limited edition Sakura Medal.

"Oh~ But if there are only two, don't you want one yourself, Eira-chan?" Hagiwara Kenji asked, "It's a souvenir of your visit here."

"I don't need it. My memories are enough." Jiang Lai said with a smile, "I feel this is more suitable for you. Besides, this is a small gift to thank you for writing my review for me."

"That's true~" Hagiwara Kenji half-jokingly said, "Ten thousand words is really hard to write."

"Thank you both for your hard work..." Jiang Lai clasped his hands together.

Kenji Hagiwara was the first to leave because the Metropolitan Police Department had a new case and urgently needed manpower, so he quickly packed his things, put the Order of Sakura in his jacket pocket, and hurriedly said goodbye to them.

Jiang Lai felt in his heart that the search class was really busy.

Only Toru Amuro and Jiang Lai were left at the scene.

Each of them had their own agenda, but on the surface they appeared to be friendly with each other, chatting about some meaningless topics.

Amuro Toru didn't ask, and Jiang Lai didn't plan to say more information. The information revealed this time was enough, and there was no need to take any more, otherwise it would seem too deliberate and suspicious.

A small amount of suspicion can arouse the other party's interest, and the information slowly explored is more authentic. However, excessive suspicion will make the other party feel that it is a trap, and it will be difficult for them to trust you again.

The two of them chatted about all sorts of things, and to others it sounded like they had hit it off and were inseparable friends.

In fact, both Amuro Toru and Jiang Lai are not sincere, and the surface and inside are separated (?)

The school bus was scheduled to leave in the evening, and they were notified to get off the bus. Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to hail a rickshaw anymore. It was so tiring!

He waved goodbye to Amuro Toru cheerfully: "I'm leaving. Goodbye, Amuro-san."

"Goodbye." Amuro Toru waved politely with a smile on his face that was hard to tell whether it was real or fake.

As the sun sets, the evening glow is brilliant and golden, spreading across the earth and casting a warm filter over everything.

The black-haired young man who was running away also exuded a faint warmth in the sunset glow, and he seemed to be an ever-changing point of light.

Toru Amuro watched the black-haired young man disappear into the distance, then he lowered his head and took out the limited edition Sakura Medal given to him by Jiang Lai from his pocket.

It is the symbol of Sakura Valley. The five pink cherry blossoms are outlined with golden edges, and under the slanting sunlight, each petal seems to be shining.

Just like when they were in the police academy, there were five young and bright souls.

——Each petal of a five-petal cherry blossom should have its own story and a bright future.

Amuro Toru's heart was filled with turmoil. He breathed in and out silently, turned around and went back to the room. Then his face darkened, and he picked up the medal and examined it carefully.

The medal was not big, so he inspected it with his naked eyes and checked the small instruments hidden in his backpack to make sure there were no eavesdropping devices or locators. Only then did he feel relieved.

The sun was about to set, and the slanting sunlight shone through the window into the empty room for three people, with the boundary between light and darkness just cutting across where Toru Amuro was standing.

Amuro Toru stared at the Sakura Medal with his purple-gray eyes for a few seconds, then gently put it away.

He turned on his phone, looked at the newly added name in his address book, edited the text message, typed a few lines, thought for a few seconds and deleted it, and finally sent only one message:

【Have a nice trip. 】

The school bus was still parked at the same place where they were brought here. Jiang Lai found his seat with his bag on his back.

The first thing I did after sitting down was to email the 30,000-word travel experience reflections required by the school. Before sending it, I also checked the grammar and punctuation.

It really feels like handing in homework. Jiang Lai complained in his heart. Dreaming of returning to high school or something.

In theory, this kind of travel experience doesn't need to be taken too seriously. However, just in case, for example, the school uses this trip as a basis to check the attitude and writing level of teachers, Jiang Lai still takes it seriously.

After completing the task, Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw that he still had an unread message.

A simple blessing from Toru Amuro.

Why?

Jiang Lai blinked and typed back: [Thank you, you too! =v=]

This time I came to Sakura Valley, I got a lot, Jiang Lai thought. At least Amuro Toru's impression points increased a lot!

We have officially met each other and exchanged mobile phone numbers, which will make it much easier to contact each other in the future. Jiang Lai nodded with satisfaction. I will go back and talk to Zhu Fu Jingguang about this matter and discuss the follow-up development.

In the future, we will meet with Torumi Amuro again to create a new impression. At the right time, we can temporarily materialize Morobushi Keiko and break through the last line!

--Perfect!

Screenwriter Jiang Lai said everything is going as planned.

By the way, I seem to be transitioning to the level of atmospheric players now. Can humans really evolve?

Jiang Lai chuckled, adjusted his mind, and prepared to open his phone to read the comics and forum situation.

The author has something to say: Jiang Lai Cat: I have evolved!
