【Mustard】Combined for a long time must be divided

When Atsushi Nakajima followed Higuchi Ichiyo with his newly opened account, he didn't feel anything wrong at all. Although the other party's homepage was a love diary that lasted for two full years, as long as he was willing to work, the love diary could also be used.

He concentrated on flipping through the first few ins.

"Senior's favorite figs... oh, figs." Atsushi Nakajima twirled the ballpoint pen around his fingertips, swishing two strokes on the notepad.

"I just found out today that seniors are afraid of the heat and the sun, but they can't blow on the air conditioner in the office, so they have been wearing a coat."

Nakajima paused, a little skeptical about life: "I can't turn on the air conditioner because I'm afraid of heat and sun, is he a vampire or the princess and the pea??"

No wonder Akutagawa Ryunosuke is always dressed in pitch black. His clothes are very heat-absorbing. Atsushi Nakajima has been thinking for a long time why he would wear such clothes in the dog days when the weather is more than [-] degrees. Unexpectedly It's such a simple yet complicated reason.

"Senior actually doesn't like oranges... I don't even like oranges, I think they are quite delicious."

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Ryunosuke Akutagawa was unusual. Could it be that the leadership of the company must be a bit weird, otherwise he had never seen others so troublesome.

"It's my birthday today, and my senior said 'Happy Birthday' to me, and even had a candlelight dinner with me after work—! I was so happy, I was so moved that I wanted to cry."

Atsushi Nakajima paused for a moment, blinking his eyes.

——It seems that when facing his girlfriend, Akutagawa occasionally shows a human side, and in some places he can be called gentle.

"I bought ice cream for senior, and he accepted it."

"It's the first time I booked a table for two at a couple's restaurant. I'm so happy."

"I feel like I like senior even more today."

……

It turns out that I completely digressed after seeing it? !Atsushi Nakajima suddenly realized that he forgot to pay attention to Ryunosuke Akutagawa's preferences, and covered his face in frustration. Why did he care about other people's love details like a little girl? !

He shook his head, and decided to go to the toilet to wash his face and take a break; but when he got up, he unconsciously glanced at the screen again, distracted and almost collided with Kajii Keijiro who was on the way.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He quickly apologized, "Are you all right?"

"It didn't happen again, why are you nervous?" Kajii seemed indifferent, "Why are you so fascinated by watching?"

"Uh..." Atsushi Nakajima thought about it for a while, then smiled awkwardly.

"That's right, I casually browsed Miss Higuchi's INS."

Kajii Keijiro opened his eyes wide after hearing this: "Look at Higuchi's INS? Can you really watch her nympho memoir? I just saw two photos and felt the sour smell of love. It's not very friendly to single dogs. .”

As he said that, he looked around Atsushi Nakajima, and suddenly saw his notebook on the table sharply: "Are you still taking notes? Have you memorized the new regulations that were discussed at the meeting yesterday?"

Where does Atsushi Nakajima remember the new regulations? He is a secretary, and his activities are completely centered on the manager. The rules and regulations of ordinary employees do not apply to him, so he doesn’t take it too seriously; but his It would be a bit pretentious to say that he didn't remember the notebook there, and Atsushi Nakajima didn't want to leave such an impression of hypocrisy on others.

He hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly, "That... no. This notebook is for..."

What was it used for? Could it be that he really said that it was used to observe Ryunosuke Akutagawa's emotional state and living conditions?

"You know, Akutagawa's temper is always cloudy," Aton said in a more euphemistic way, "I just came to him, and I can't figure out the depth of many things. It just so happened that Miss Higuchi wrote a lot of related information in her blog, and I I thought there might be some references..."

Kajii Kijiro showed a sudden realization expression: "Oh, so you are writing their love observation diary?"

"Huh?" This time it was Atsushi Nakajima's turn to be confused.

"That's it, the observation diary, didn't you write it when you were in elementary school?" Kajii was also quite surprised, and started gesticulating with his hand, "In science class, you have to write down the growth of bean sprouts, record the changes in growth every day, and finally fill up a full record." The whole book has to be handed in."

It sounds really similar, but why do I feel that something is not right?Atsushi Nakajima was very puzzled, but he couldn't figure out how to refute, so he nodded slightly aggrieved: "Almost."

"Then you really have a heart, no one usually thinks to learn about Akutagawa from Higuchi." Kajii Keijiro shook his head.

Atsushi Nakajima had a different idea from him: "Why? Since Ms. Higuchi is dating Akutagawa, wouldn't it be a matter of course to learn about Akutagawa from her as a breakthrough?"

Kajii looked at him more uncertainly.He reached out and patted Atsushi Nakajima on the shoulder: "Little friend, I don't even know if you don't understand women or love."

To be more precise, Atsushi Nakajima didn't understand both, otherwise he wouldn't have asked such a question.Perhaps it was his expression that directly answered Kajii Keijiro, who sighed deeply and shook his head repeatedly: "Too young."

Love has never been a pure, beautiful and spotless thing. True love is often exclusive, and feelings are most likely to give rise to possessiveness.Like a person, want to show off his goodness to everyone, but can't bear to be shared by others; love is bound to be accompanied by emotional instability, people who fall in love are more likely to fall into worries about gains and losses than ordinary people, if you know this well , in the love of others, you must know how to avoid suspicion.

Higuchi Ichiyo's love for Akutagawa Ryunosuke is almost overflowing. This kind of overly warm feeling makes people not dare to make jokes or ridicule. She is too serious, like a tight steel wire. External forces will break, so the female colleagues tacitly try not to mention Akutagawa in front of Higuchi Ichiyo; and if the female colleagues do not gossip, the male colleagues will naturally lose the interest in chatting, so to some extent, Higuchi Ichiyo Ye really protected Akutagawa Ryunosuke tightly.

But after Atsushi Nakajima came over, things were different. Higuchi Ichiyo was far away in Europe, and the secretary position was replaced by a soft and deceitful little boy. He was a bit abnormal towards Akutagawa. Why didn’t he deal with Akutagawa Ryunosuke? How come, it is simply a counter-example of Higuchi - eat melons, you must eat melons, I am sorry for Higuchi's efforts to make the office depressed over the years.

Such a handsome boss is there. It would be a pity if everyone lost the opportunity to gossip about him because he has a girlfriend.

At present, the prospects and current situation of the office are very clear, probably only Nakajima Atsushi is still in the fog - after all, no one will tell him that guessing his relationship with Akutagawa Ryunosuke is one of the fun of everyone ——That's why he is a newcomer in the workplace, naive and ignorant, and the people in the sales department can't bear to give him too much science, for fear of ruining the child.

As usual, Atsushi Nakajima is the first to come to the office every day, but the preparations to start work are not too much. He simply cleans up, turns on the air conditioner in advance, and waters the flowers and plants. After that, he basically relaxes. Well, there was nothing to do after that, so Atsushi Nakajima turned on his phone, sat down and browsed Ichiyo Higuchi's INS homepage seriously again.

"Adzuki bean soup... this is pretty good. Could Akutagawa be sweet?"

He himself was fascinated by it, completely unaware that someone was quietly standing behind him, so when Akutagawa Ryunosuke made a sound, he was so scared that he almost threw his phone out——

"You come so early every day?"

Dun turned away in shock.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke stood there quietly with two folders under his arm, looking at him, his expression didn't show any thoughts, as if he was just asking casually.

"Yeah... you came early too." Don replied as he stood up.But when he turned around and took a good look at Akutagawa, Atsushi Nakajima suddenly and keenly noticed that the clothes Akutagawa Ryunosuke was wearing seemed to be exactly the same as yesterday's, except for the lack of a tie.

He couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then carefully looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke in front of him, and saw a little bruise under the other's eyelids.At this time, his thoughts gradually took shape, and he asked with some uncertainty in his tone: "...Didn't you come early? Did you not go home last night?"

Atsushi Nakajima had indeed heard that a large-scale project was approved by the higher-ups, and everyone was busy with it. As a result, the client called yesterday to say that the direction of the project was wrong and asked to do it again.The call went directly to Ryunosuke Akutagawa's office, and Atsushi Nakajima answered it for him. The other party sounded very angry, and asked "Will your company do anything?"

Atsushi Nakajima was still in the internship period, and he didn't have much contact with the really important work content. He couldn't think of how to reply to this customer, so he was scolded within half an hour after answering the phone; The meeting was adjourned, and when he opened the door, he heard him apologize sincerely on the phone, and he understood immediately.He lowered his voice and asked, "Is it the one who sent back all our proposals?"

Nakajima Atsushi nodded at him with difficulty while still saying "I'm very sorry that it was our mistake", and he was about to be unable to cope.

Akutagawa lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and signaled Atsushi Nakajima to hand him the receiver.

Atsushi Nakajima didn't understand what he meant, but he still humbly told the customer: "Well, hello, our administrative manager wants to talk to you in person now... No, he was in a meeting before..."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa waited for him to finish his explanation, then answered the phone, and said to the person face to face: "I will definitely hand over the new project proposal to you within three days, and if you are not satisfied by then, we will let you dispose of it."

After that, Atsushi Nakajima didn't know what he said on the other side. He only saw Akutagawa Ryunosuke quickly hung up the phone and sat back at his desk.

"Is it possible? If I remember correctly, it took a week to build this case. Three days is a bit tight..." Atsushi Nakajima expressed deep concern about this.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not answer him, but methodically began to call various departments to issue tasks; when the tasks were assigned, he saw Atsushi Nakajima was still staring at himself worriedly, so he said: "I said I will do it It will definitely be done.”

It's just that Atsushi Nakajima never expected that Akutagawa Ryunosuke's "I will definitely do it" was at the cost of working overtime at the company all night. Seeing that the other party's face was not very good, he was a little excited for a while, and questioned him one after another. : "Are you a fairy? You don't need to sleep? Are you not afraid of death?"

Akutagawa turned a deaf ear to his questioning, and instead ordered in a light tone: "Since you're here, go downstairs and make me a cup of coffee. The cup is on my desk."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at Atsushi Nakajima's expression now, he turned around and went back to the office.

Atsushi Nakajima was so angry at his own way of doing things, but he couldn’t help it. He was a secretary, and he had to do what Akutagawa asked him to do, so he followed into the office; angrily took Akutagawa Ryunosuke’s coffee cup At that time, the other party suddenly remembered something, and added: "Since you know Higuchi, you should also know my taste, right?"

Blue Mountain coffee with sugar, although he didn't remember it deliberately, but the picture immediately appeared in Atsushi Nakajima's mind, which made him feel even more angry.He ignored Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and ran out of the office holding a cup like a wind under his feet, seeing that Akutagawa's mood somehow improved.

Maybe looking for Atsushi Nakajima when there is nothing to do can be regarded as a kind of relaxation and pastime, probably.

When Atsushi Nakajima came back with the cup full of liquid, Akutagawa Ryunosuke just felt a little sleepy, and took the coffee cup to refresh his mind, but he stopped after he saw the color of the liquid in the cup.

He looked at the rippling plane due to the tremor, and asked calmly, "What did I just tell you to drink?"

"coffee."

"what is this?"

"Milk. You're not afraid of milk, are you?"

Atsushi Nakajima answered very naturally and confidently. If it wasn't for Ryunosuke Akutagawa's tough temper and confidence in himself, he would have thought that Atsushi Nakajima hadn't made a mistake.

"Is that what you do?"

"It's you who have a lot to do now," Atsushi Nakajima replied irrelevantly, "I think you should take a break."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke has always been a little disgusted by the behavior of interfering with his choice, so his eyes turned cold, he raised his head and said, "I don't need it."

"But other people need it. You are the leader of the administration department and the vane of the office. Everyone is working hard with your goal in mind. You should give them a good commendation."

"Other people want to chase me, that's other people's business; and what I'm doing now, that's my own business. I don't have to be responsible to other people for this part."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was unmoved, and the oppression in his tone became stronger and stronger. If Higuchi Ichiyo had stood here, he would have apologized and admitted his mistake long ago;

"Well, suppose you really don't have to. You want to be alone in the whole world, but in this society, human beings can't move a single step without the approval and approval of other people. Then let's assume that you are really alone -"

He seemed to recall something suddenly, his brows were tightly furrowed, and there was a strange attachment in his clear eyes.

"If you don't even know how to love yourself, then no one else will love you."

The two looked directly at each other, and neither of them had the intention of giving in. A silent war quietly spread between them.However, looking at it, Atsushi Nakajima backed down. He lowered his head, his voice was very vague: "...It seems that this is not the case for you. After all, even if you are like this, Ms. Higuchi still likes you so much."

As he said that, he reached for the glass of milk, but Ryunosuke Akutagawa pushed the glass away a little before him, causing him to throw it away.

"……doing what?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke carefully looked at Atsushi Nakajima's expression, puzzled, puzzled, and with a bit of disappointment that hadn't faded before, it seemed that he was emotionally moved just now because of something beyond his known range——

What would that be?

Atsushi Nakajima waited for him to give an explanation, but Ryunosuke Akutagawa didn't want to say too much.He looked at his watch, it was 45:45, one hour and [-] minutes before work time.

"08:30," he said succinctly, "wake me up on time."

His intern secretary was puzzled at first, and then gradually understood what he meant, with an annoyed and funny look on his face: "You set the alarm clock yourself."

But they all knew that Atsushi Nakajima would come in after a while to wake Ryunosuke Akutagawa, so the former tried his best to close the door gently pretending to be angry; while the latter watched Atsushi Nakajima disappear through the glass, picked up the Taking a sip from the coffee cup, I found that the cup of hot milk was unexpectedly sweet, the sweetness of adding three cubes of sugar.

After Nakajima went out, he walked down the stairs to the 24-hour coffee shop downstairs. The boss still had an impression of him, and laughed when he saw him coming again: "What's the matter, is there anything else you need?"

"Um--"

"Yes. I'd like to order a cup of Blue Mountain Coffee with sugar and put it in a convenience bag at 08:30 to take away."

Atsushi Nakajima said with a smile.
