[Net King] one step away

1,

Masaharu Nioh and Hiroshi Yagyu are good friends.

This has almost become a truth, and the people around Nioh and Yagyu all know it.

But when was this truth demonstrated?

No one gave it much thought.

After all, they have been best partners since middle school—although there were quarrels and cold wars when they were in junior high school, isn't it only after getting used to each other that people can enter into an intimate relationship?

Even Nioh himself didn't know when Yagyu became his closest friend.

Always feel that at the beginning, the distance between them is very clear?

But gradually it became the closest one.

Playing ball together, going to school together, we were in the same city in college, so we often made appointments to play ball and party. After graduation, although the two had different occupations, they rented a house together considering the housing prices in Tokyo. At first, they even rented a single room for the two of them. The canopy bed was used to sleep on bunk beds, and was later replaced by a two-bedroom apartment.Living together for too long, even breathing has become a tacit understanding, not to mention that they have specially trained for a long time for the tacit understanding in tennis when they were studying.

So when did it become such a close relationship?

Nobody knows the answer.

It was at a certain moment that something suddenly felt wrong.

Nioh has just finished drawing a design for a large project.The design institute took over the venue design work for an international competition. He was the chief designer, and he was busy in the unit day and night for more than two months, and finally entered a relatively peaceful stage.

This is the first time he has worked as the lead designer in a large-scale project in his five years of work, which is considered a staged progress, so he was inevitably relieved when he successfully entered the middle of the project.

No need to work overtime tonight.

Go back and get some sleep.

Or simply celebrate?

While he was hesitating, other members of the project team chatted while packing up after get off work.

No one is going to work overtime today, which is something to rave about.

"Go get together? Have a meal together?"

"I still have a celebration meal after the project is over, so let's go to the bar today."

"What if you get serial calls from customers at night?"

"Then the manager will take more care of you."

"Hey, I've been busy for so long, and I want to go back to rest. I want to go back to sleep."

"So you won't go out to get together?"

While chatting, the trainee under Nioh's subordinates who had just graduated and followed him as an apprentice timidly turned his head and asked him, "Where is Nioh-san? Do you want to play together?"

"Ah..." King Ren opened his mouth and blinked.

The team leader in charge of the project is a sister with strong professional ability, older than Nioh, who managed to become the team leader with great difficulty.My sister has already started to put on lipstick, and she is obviously ready for a high after get off work.After hearing what the little trainee said, she looked over jokingly: "Does King Ren want to play together? Report to the person at home?"

"Eh?! Is Nioh-san married?"

"No, it's Nioh-kun's 'boyfriend'." The designer who was familiar with Nioh joked.

The little trainee's pupils vibrated: "Boyfriend?"

Niwang quickly interrupted: "I'm single, they're joking. Where are you going tonight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table ding-dong.

It's a text message from Liu Sheng.

Ask him what time he will be home in the evening and what he would like for dinner.

King Ren was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the sister of the business group smile and say: "Look, someone has come to remind you, there is a bento at noon, and someone will cook for you when you go back at night. What is it? I have to send a message to my husband, or I won't be able to play at night."

Niwang shook his head with a smile, opened the chat page and typed, and replied: "It's just a roommate. He doesn't bring bento every day, he only makes it when he is free. It's because one person's meal is harder to cook than two people, so I just bought it by the way." Get me a copy."

"That's enough. I don't even prepare lunch for my husband. I don't do it when I have time." The sister of the business group said with a smile.

"Is it my roommate who made lunch for Nioh-san? I thought it was Nioh-san's girlfriend." The little trainee sighed.

Nioh suddenly didn't know how to answer, so he cast a reproachful glance at the designer friend who was joking.

"Best friends of 12 years, I can't envy you." They said so.

Nioh said on the chat page that the project team will be active in the evening, and he will not go back for dinner. After returning, he realizes that he has developed the habit of "reporting" without knowing it.From this point of view, the word "boyfriend" is not inappropriate, so Nioh never felt anything wrong when he was teased.But just now, the little intern heard the expression of "boyfriend" suddenly touched his radar.

Is it really a little over the top?

Nioh seemed to be thinking about it for the first time.

He then refuted the claims of his colleagues: "13 years."

3,

Had some drinks at the bar in the evening.

Everyone in the project team is very relaxed.

Nioh adapted to this social situation.He can't say whether he likes it or not, but he is good at it anyway.With his qualifications, he was able to serve as the chief designer of a large-scale project of the design institute at this age, of course, because of his proficient social skills.

He wasn't really drunk, but he stood at the door of the bar and thought for a while before choosing to call Yagyu.

The phone rang three times before it was connected.

"Are you busy?" He asked softly.

It was almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was actually quite rude to call a roommate at this time.But King Ni felt that he was just probing. As for what to test, he himself was not very clear about it.

Not to mention that he wasn't really drunk, but he was.

"Are you drunk?" Liu Sheng said coldly on the other end of the phone, "Don't call me if you drink too much, I don't have time to pick you up."

"I'm not drunk. And I don't drive to work," Nioh said.

Liu Sheng was silent for two seconds on the other end of the phone, and said, "I'll call you a taxi, and you send me the address."

4,

Nioh closed his eyes in the taxi.

Three months ago, he happened to be making preliminary preparations for the project, which was a relatively idle stage of work.The main designer has been decided on him, but the specific contract of the project has not yet completed the process. The business is finalizing the final contract and documents, and the designer is preparing for the project.

That night, Yagyu was on the night shift, and he was in the study at home (yes, the shared house he and Yagyu shared had progressed to the point where he could rent a three-bedroom house and arrange the smallest north-facing room as a study, which sounds similar to It’s quite luxurious to live in) Look at the information related to the project.

In the study room, his and Liu Sheng's professional books were mixed together, and each of them also had a collection of materials, printed papers and so on.In the beginning, it was actually divided into areas, but gradually they were mixed together.Books are never misplaced, and important information is labeled.

The study can be regarded as the default "public place".They usually keep confidential materials in their bedrooms and in their bags.In short, the part placed in the study is the default "all can see" things.

When Nioh was sorting out the materials, he remembered a rather unpopular paper. He printed it out, read it, and put it away again. There was a theory and case on it that was very relevant to this project.He stood up and rummaged through the bookshelves.

Found a handbook.

It's not my thing.Nioh knew it the first time he saw the ledger.But is Yagyu a person who knows how to use a hand ledger?

The black cowhide itself, without a lock, is just tied twice with a cowhide rope. In King Ni's eyes, it is a mysterious box without a lock.

He was so curious.

Nioh stood there thinking for a few seconds, and finally stretched out his hand to untie the cowhide rope wrapped around the ledger because of the "law of publicity" in the study.

This is the default "visible", not considered privacy.

Thinking of this, King Ni opened the ledger and was stunned.

Is painting, hand drawn in black signed strokes.

It was probably drawn by Yagyu, and King Ni had seen Yagyu's art work.

The first few pages can be seen from the color of the paper to be quite old, so the brushstrokes are also a bit rusty.

Gradually become more proficient, and the style of painting is becoming more and more realistic.

If Nioh had no problem with his eyes and cognition, then he would be able to tell who the person in the painting was of course.

He certainly didn't have any problems, so he saw it.

How can you not see it?

Each one had his own face on it.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to be painted by a roommate who lives with you?

Nioh flipped to the back of the ledger.

The strokes of people who study medicine are getting colder and colder, and the perspective of human bodies on paper has become too realistic, and they can even be used as examples of human perspective drawings.

The part of the heart is deliberately outlined from the body and bones.

Some of the bones of the spine are drawn very carefully, and the names of the bones are also marked.

If it wasn't for the fact that his face was exactly the same as his own, Nioh could have regarded this notebook as Yagyu's "class notes" for his self-study on human bones.

He closed the ledger, opened it again after a while, and tentatively touched the inside of the leather sheath of the ledger.

He took out two photos from the back cover.

One is a group photo of him and Yagyu with the rest of Lihai University when they regained the national championship in high school.

The other is his profile.

Nioh looked at himself in the photo, lying on his side on the bed in the room, probably asleep with his eyes closed.Judging from the light and pajamas, it is clear that it was recently photographed.

But he was not impressed at all.

5,

When Nioh arrived home, he didn't use the key to open the door, but rang the doorbell directly.

Within 2 minutes, Yagyu came over and opened the door.

The headlights in the living room were on, and Liu Sheng changed into his home clothes, with an apron on his waist. When he saw him, he gave him a cold look: "Come and drink soup."

"What did you cook?" King Ni asked with a smile. After taking off his shoes, he naturally opened his arms and threw himself on Liu Sheng who was standing at the door.

Liu Sheng also supported him naturally, dragged him in, and closed the door behind his back.

"How much did you drink?" He frowned slightly in disgust, and looked down at King Ni with cold eyes, "Sydney soup. Didn't you cough two days ago?"

"It's windy, and I don't have a cold." Nioh rubbed his shoulders, smelling the familiar smell of fabric softener.

Liu Sheng let him rub against his shoulders for a while, then tore him off and threw him on the sofa: "Go take a shower after drinking, it's too dirty."

"You despise me." King Ren raised his head and looked at him with a smile.

Liu Sheng was still frowning, and didn't answer the question. He just took off his apron, put a bowl of soup on the coffee table, and went back to the kitchen to wash his hands before coming out.

Nioh looked around the living room during his time in the kitchen.

When they moved in half a year ago, they had nothing. The sofa, coffee table, and carpet were all chosen by them, and they were replaced bit by bit to their satisfaction.

There are also lights, which were replaced later.

I signed a long-term lease with the landlord, and I also plan to stay in this somewhat extravagant house for two more years.

In fact, they are both 27 years old, almost at the marriageable age, so before moving, Nioh tentatively asked Yagyu if he wanted to continue renting together.

Liu Sheng asked back at that time, saying, are you planning to share the rent with others, Mr. Niwang?

Then maybe I will have a girlfriend someday?Although houses in Tokyo are unaffordable.

Yagyu was silent for two seconds, and replied, at least I didn't plan to start a family so early.

Indeed.Yagyu had just graduated with a Ph.D. when he moved house half a year ago.The professional training of a doctor takes a long time. Compared with him, as an architectural designer, he entered the design institute as soon as he graduated from university, and his career progress is much faster.

Nioh didn't think there was anything wrong because of this.Since Liu Sheng still intends to continue to rent together, he is of course willing to continue to be roommates with Liu Sheng.After all, when the two of them lived together, it was because Liu Sheng accommodated him more.

Nioh picked up the bowl and looked at the living room while drinking the soup.

When did you buy that painting on the wall opposite the sofa?When he works overtime?

It's a bit like the famous cry, and it's also a bit like the famous sunflower. It's yellow, bright and dazzling.

Nioh glanced at it, and vaguely saw a golden wheat field in the frame.

He thought, why did Liu Sheng share the rent with him?

When he graduated, Yagyu was still studying, and he actually had a school dormitory to live in.

But what did Yagyu say at the time?Is it inconvenient to live in a dormitory in a hospital?

6,

On the night when he found the ledger, his efficiency in checking information plummeted.

Distraught, he barely finished writing the documents and proposals of the planned length, and fell asleep hastily, only to be woken up by Liu Sheng who came back with breakfast within two hours.

"Get up and have breakfast."

Liu Sheng was on night shift three days a week, and he was on the day shift twice, and once he had no shift.It just so happened that there was no scheduled shift or surgery scheduled that day, so Liu Sheng came back.King Ni got up to look at his phone and found that Liu Sheng had sent a message in advance, saying that he would come back with breakfast and asked him to wait for a while.

In the end, it was Liu Sheng who arrived home first, and he was not up when he got home.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that Liu Sheng has been a little too considerate in recent years.

He and Yagyu initially made phone calls every day to cultivate their partnership. After quarreling and estrangement, they talked again and became close again. During the first World Cup, he was already able to say something from his heart to Yagyu.

The pressure was too great, and I only told Yagyu about wanting to play "Phantom" for the last time.

Gradually they became the closest friends, and after more than ten years, they can still have a heart-to-heart relationship. After graduating from university, they became roommates for five years.

But that photo...

Do you want to ask Liu Sheng directly?

No, I don't want it.

Nioh bit a piece of bread and glanced at Yagyu who just got off the night shift and had dark circles under his eyes that even his glasses couldn't cover.

He didn't ask anything, just finished his breakfast and went to work.

Then there was a busy two months. When I returned home, I saw Yagyu's note more often than I saw Yagyu himself.

In a blink of an eye it is today.

If he hadn't mentioned Liu Sheng when he got off work, and received a message from Liu Sheng, he would not have remembered the "Study Psycho" more than two months ago.

So... want to ask?

7,

Nioh felt a little dizzy when he came out of the shower.

He thought about how much he drank that night, and finally came to the conclusion that he didn't drink too much.Probably because of working overtime and staying up too late and not drinking for too long.Thinking so, he brushed his hair and plugged in the hair dryer again.

He felt dizzy and uncomfortable in the hot air of the hair dryer.

Could it be that he caught a cold after drinking alcohol?

Nioh could not come up with more conclusions.

Suddenly his whole body went limp and his eyes went dark, and he couldn't hold the hair dryer in his hand and fell to the ground.

But before he thought he was going to fall to the ground, a hug caught him.

Nioh blinked.

The field of vision was vaguely restored, but the body still couldn't exert its strength.

The person holding him turned off the switch of the hair dryer, and did not collect the wire of the hair dryer. Instead, he hastily put the hair dryer on the sink where the wet and dry are separated.

"Willow...?"

Niwang found that his own voice was also light and unassuming.

But Liu Sheng's voice fell in his ears, it was very soft, but a little cold: "You drink too much, take a rest."

... Pooh, fuck you, you drank too much.

10,

Nioh woke up on the bed in his room the next day.

He rolled over, swearing at the pain in his muscles.

Then he saw red marks on his wrist.

Hold.

Fuck Yagyu Hiroshi.

He turned over and sat up, found his mobile phone as usual, and found out that Liu Sheng had asked for leave for him after seeing the news in the work group, and it was already past working hours.

Some guy who works as a doctor even wrote him a sick note and sent it to the design institute.

The friends in his working group were all worried about him and asked him to rest well.

"Did the wind blow after drinking yesterday?" They speculated.

Nioh threw the phone on the bedside, and suddenly sulked again.

He calmed down, picked up his phone again, and clicked on the voice message Liu Sheng had given him.

"The medicine and breakfast are on the table, remember to eat."

"...The medicine for curing the disease, you will feel better after taking it."

"I'm sorry, but I locked and locked the door today, you may not be able to get out."

"...Come back tonight, let's have a good talk."

King Ni rolled his eyes when he heard the last one.

He glanced at the date and time, and left a message for Yagyu.

"Bastard, you work night shift today!"

An hour later, after Nioh had finished his breakfast and medicine, he received Yagyu's voice again.

"I'm looking for someone to replace me, and I'll be home on time."
