【Mustard】Combined for a long time must be divided

The three people headed by Tachihara Michizao arranged the benches in a circle and surrounded Atsushi Nakajima. At that time, Atsushi Nakajima thought he had finally encountered the unspoken rules of the workplace, and his expression was very vigilant.

Tachihara Michizao stared at him intently: "Nakajima, you are a little unkind."

"What, what?"

"Not only is it unkind, it is simply treason."

Kajii Keijiro's expression was pained.

"...Did I do something?"

Atsushi Nakajima cast his eyes for help, Liulang Guangjin, who seemed the most reliable among the three, but compared with those two, Guangjin was like an ordinary old man who moved a bench and watched Yangko in the street. Young people’s affairs are handled by young people themselves, and I’m only responsible for supporting the meeting.”

No hope, Atsushi Nakajima sighed and raised his hands: "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Okay, that's refreshing enough. I'll tell you straight," Kajii Keijiro pushed his glasses, "We all know that Akutagawa was going to see his sister last night, and that day has never changed every month. So what did you do yesterday? What's the matter? Akutagawa is really willing to let go of his precious sister and go out with you on errands?"

Atsushi Nakajima suddenly realized that it was for this matter.Among other things, the people in the administration department are really concerned about Akutagawa Ryunosuke's news. Although they have a bit of a gossip mentality, they are also sincerely thinking about Akutagawa.

This is understandable... Nakajima Atsushi smiled a bit distressed, but he didn't expect these people to ask him immediately.

"But Akutagawa didn't have an appointment with Miss Shuangyin yesterday, he just took me along."

"..."

The three who got the answer were silent for a moment, and after a while Michizo Tachihara elbowed Kejiro Kajii: "Pinch me."

Kajii kept silent and twisted his thigh.

"Damn, it really hurts, can you be gentle!" Tachihara Michizo kicked Kajii's stool.

"The pain means it's real," Kajii ignored him, "that is, Atsushi Nakajima followed Akutagawa to see his sister."

"...Is there any problem?" Nakajima Atsushi said innocently.

"There are a lot of problems," Kajii Keijiro seemed to have received too much information and caused the shock function to fail, and he didn't even blink his eyes when he spoke, "But if you insist on speaking, the biggest problem is that you know the last one who was lucky enough to Who was the one who saw sister Akutagawa having dinner with her?"

Since he asked this question, Atsushi Nakajima had some guesses in his heart; coupled with all the things that happened last night, this question is not a problem now-in the end, he was actually following the shadow of Higuchi Ichiyo Well, every step I take now is on the path that the girl walked, as if I am opportunistic.

"I know," he replied, "You mean Miss Higuchi, right?"

He answered so readily that Tachihara Michizo and Kajii Keijiro didn't know how to respond; at this time, Hirotsu Liunang's expression froze, and he tentatively asked in a tentatively normal tone: "Nakajima-san, maybe ask directly I'm being rude... You should know the relationship between Higuchi-kun and Akutagawa-kun, so you shouldn't be ignorant of the meaning behind this, right?"

Hirotsu Yanagi's words and sentences were already very cryptic and euphemistic, but none of the people present were fools, and they could hear the deep meaning clearly: Maybe it was true that the relationship between Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Atsushi Nakajima was happening at a time and place they didn't know. There have been some qualitative changes.

Atsushi Nakajima actually had some contradictions in his heart.Although the two of them expressed their hearts to each other in some way at the embankment of the Tsurumi River last night, they are a little bit regretful that they will not be completely connected after expressing their hearts. It is unspeakable, so it is undoubtedly more difficult for him to admit something.

But now that he has been spotted by others, it's not that he leaked his thoughts to others, but that he was frank and didn't think of covering it up - he really didn't think it was necessary to cover it up at the time.

Nakajima Atsushi recalled what Tachihara Michizao had said to him earlier.There is no way to hide liking someone. No matter how subtle the expressions, actions, words, and eyes are, when facing the person you like, you will always expose your heart nakedly in front of everyone. The taste of love has always been the most vivid. Follow the blood and emotions Can fly far, far away.

It's really a stupid thing to cover up, just like Higuchi Ichiyo.

When he thought of this girl, he felt a sense of stagnation for no reason. The meaning of her update of that ins last night could not be more obvious: Higuchi Ichiyo, who had left because of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, is now coming back here for Akutagawa Ryunosuke up.

Nakajima Atsushi didn't know what he should think about this, he had never even met the other party, but as long as he thought of her coming back here, the discomfort welling up in his heart made it hard for him to breathe.

But I should be different from her.

Thinking of this, he tilted his head and smiled in confusion: "Maybe... that's what everyone thinks. It's between me and Akutagawa."

All three gasped: "Really?"

"really."

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.In the end, it was Kejiro Kajii who swallowed his saliva and reconfirmed: "So you are... in love with Akutagawa?"

Atsushi Nakajima corrected him: "It hasn't started yet, it's a little more obvious than a relationship."

He explained too straightforwardly, and Kajii let out a dumbfounded "ah" and got stuck.On the other hand, Atsushi Nakajima lowered his head for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Is it okay?"

"...How should I put it, okay, of course." Kajii Kijiro scratched his head, "But...it may be a little bad for you."

"Really." Atsushi Nakajima just nodded without showing any emotion.

Michizo Tachihara probably felt that the scene was a bit cold, so he wanted to smooth things over for Kajii: "Well, Nakajima, don't think too much, what Kajii means..."

What does Kajii mean? Tachihara Michizo realized that he didn't really understand halfway through his speech, so he asked with his eyes, what do you mean?

You don't understand what you're talking about here, Kajii replied with his eyes, saying a few words can suffocate you to death?

He thought about it, changed his posture and planned to explain to Atsushi Nakajima from the beginning.

"You also know Higuchi. She was in love with Akutagawa before. Although it's easy to talk about now, everyone can see her hard work. I didn't mean to say bad things about Akutagawa, but he is a person who is not interested in feelings. On the one hand, it is indeed different from ordinary people, Higuchi and him back then can also be regarded as what I made up, I thought Akutagawa would change his gender at the time, but he is still the same him.”

"Your current position and situation are a bit similar to Higuchi back then," he continued, "Although you are indeed different from Higuchi himself, the most difficult thing is Akutagawa's side. Nakajima, you are a nice person, so I will ask more questions In a word, do you have no emotional experience at all?"

It was a bit embarrassing to ask, and Atsushi Nakajima let out an uh, and replied in a low voice, "Well...no. What Akutagawa insisted on saying might...be my first love."

"..."

Isn't this the end, first love!Kajii Keijiro shouted loudly in his heart, just like Higuchi Ichiyo, a good egg, not to fall in love with an egg that also understands his own fragility, but he wants to hit the rock of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, if the ending is like this It's okay if people wish, but Higuchi Ichiyo left with a heart-wrenching ending but got nothing. Now that Atsushi Nakajima is following closely behind, it is inevitable that people will not worry that he will repeat the same mistakes.

Maybe it was because the sadness on the faces of several people was too obvious, but Atsushi Nakajima comforted them: "Miss Higuchi and I are still different after all, not to mention that Akutagawa is actually... different from what we imagined. The future will be brighter." , take one step at a time.”

Hirotsu Yanagi still wanted to say something, but Nakajima Atsushi's phone rang at this moment, he smiled apologetically, got up to answer the phone, it was Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Not long after, he put down the phone, turned around and bid farewell to the three of them: "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here. At noon, I will go to the workshop with Jie Chuan, so I will say goodbye first."

After lunch, Akutagawa Ryunosuke was waiting for him downstairs in his car. Atsushi Nakajima looked around, saw Akutagawa's figure and trotted over.

"Sorry, I'm a little late."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't say anything, just glanced at him.In the past, this glance was enough for Atsushi Nakajima to make up for countless negative emotions that the other party was dissatisfied with him; but now it is different. After Akutagawa made it clear that he also has a good impression of him, the meaning that this glance can represent has changed. get more up.

At this time, Atsushi Nakajima remembered the phrase he said to Kajii and others just now, "the future will be long".

——He really had the courage to say this, obviously he knew that an urgent and important matter was happening right before his eyes, but he still pretended not to be in a hurry, as if this would convince himself He was able to completely ignore Ichiyo Higuchi's return.

Speaking of which, Tun suddenly froze for a moment, since the lady said she would be back, would she have contacted Akutagawa in advance to inform him of the news?

Once this idea is formed, it will linger. If she really said it, then Akutagawa Ryunosuke should inform herself... Maybe there is no need for this, Nakajima Atsushi thought. The point of intersection is just that he has held the same position, if the other party only contacts Akutagawa as a friend, Akutagawa doesn't need to inform him.

It would not be wrong to do this before yesterday, but... Atsushi Nakajima felt a little flustered the more he thought about it, he took a deep breath to calm down, and decided to test it out.

"Speaking of which, Akutagawa," he pretended to be calm, "have you heard any news recently?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was driving seriously, without turning his head: "What news?"

"It's just..." Atsushi Nakajima froze for a moment.

All he wanted was to test whether Akutagawa Ryunosuke had heard the news, but he didn't consider how he should smooth things over when the other party really didn't know anything.

He clearly said that he had to think about it, and he didn't really establish a relationship with the other party, but he unconsciously had superfluous thoughts that crossed the line.

——The current self is not enough.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the graduation season is approaching, and the company may consider recruiting a group of new employees. Since you haven't received any news, it must be because I'm thinking too much."

Atsushi Nakajima said while looking ahead, but unconsciously tightened his seat belt.

"..."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke keenly caught a glimpse of Atsushi Nakajima's expression after these words. Although he tried his best to pretend to be calm, there was something weird about it.

There was no major problem in the workshop, but there was a machine failure on the assembly line. Due to the old model, there were no matching parts, and it was difficult for workers to move and repair without authorization, so they reported it to the higher authorities.Akutagawa Ryunosuke took Nakajima Atsushi around, promising to replace the machine with a new one tomorrow, and the matter would be resolved.

Since they were going out during their lunch break, the two drove back immediately in order not to delay their work in the afternoon.When they took the elevator back to the third floor, the two found Tachihara Michizo was pacing up and down the elevator door with a face full of anxiety, Akutagawa Ryunosuke frowned dissatisfiedly: "Tachihara, instead of going to work, you are in a place like this kill time?"

Tachihara Michizo turned his head as if frightened, his eyes sparkled with excitement when he saw Atsushi Nakajima for the first time, but when he saw Akutagawa Ryunosuke following behind him, his expression was forced to say something because he swallowed The words also became distorted: "Akuta, Manager Akutagawa."

Atsushi Nakajima also felt strange and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I..." Tachihara Michizao couldn't say anything, and with the determination to die, he whispered to Atsushi Nakajima in front of Ryunosuke Akutagawa, "Why don't you answer the phone?"

"We went to the workshop, where it is forbidden to carry electronic equipment." Atsushi Nakajima replied.

"..."

It's over, it's over.

Tachihara Michizo wanted to say something else, but Akutagawa Ryunosuke was one step ahead of him: "Since you have nothing to do, go back to work, your salary can't support you being lazy like this, right?"

After speaking, he strode towards his office. Atsushi Nakajima had to give Michizo Tachihara a puzzled smile because he wanted to keep up with him, and the two disappeared at the corner of the corridor in a blink of an eye.

"...What the hell is going on here?" Michizo Tachihara grabbed his hair like a chicken coop, "Why did you choose this time!"

He immediately took out his mobile phone and shouted in the group: Akutagawa and Nakajima went to the office!

Kajii Keijiro sent a questioning expression: Why didn't you stop them? !

"Can I stop them both?!"

Tachihara Michizo is going crazy, is Akutagawa Ryunosuke someone he can stop if he wants to? !You said it lightly, you can do it!

The group suddenly became lively.

"My God, I feel that things are going to develop in an unpredictable direction."

"I'm more worried about Nakajima-kun! Come on, Nakajima-kun, don't lose!"

"But I think it's a little bit more likely that he will lose."

"Shut up!!"

When Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Atsushi Nakajima returned to the door of the office, they found Keijiro Kajii nervously pacing up and down in front of the door with his mobile phone in his hands. He was suspicious for a moment—what happened today, World Pace Day?

As soon as Kajii saw the two of them, he immediately went up to them and stopped them at the door of the office: "Um... Akutagawa, Nakajima. Are you all done? Are you okay in the workshop?"

"If something happens, we won't come back now." Nakajima Atsushi blinked.

"Ah... that's true." Kajii Kejiro nervously searched his stomach, "Is there nothing else to do?"

"What's going on with you today," Atsushi Nakajima was confused, "Is something wrong?"

"..."

Why can't you read the air and see the current situation clearly, you child, look at those people who are giving you winks!Kajii Keijiro finally understood Tachihara Michizao's mood, he can't do it, he can't do it, Kajii opened his mouth, laughed dryly, and realized that he was at a loss for words.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke narrowed his eyes: "Get out of the way."

"That Akutagawa..."

"I said get out of the way."

Kajii Keijiro took a hard look at the other side of the office—that is, the private office of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and swallowed: "It's just... I want to tell you something, don't get excited after listening. "

After speaking, he looked at Atsushi Nakajima again, with self-denial and sympathy in his eyes: "And Nakajima too."

He clenched his fists twice to cheer himself up, and just opened his mouth when a voice suddenly sounded behind him, instantly dispelling all the courage he had accumulated——

The voice of the owner of the voice was full of surprise, joy, and the excitement of reunion after a long absence, so that the words trembled a little:

"Senior Akutagawa?"
