So the hat stand knocked Jae-mei down?

Lan Tang died.

Zhong Yuanzhong also imagined many times what it would be like to see Lan Tang close his eyes again.Unexpectedly, he didn't react at all, but accepted Lan Tang's death calmly.

He told Dazai that he wanted to buy a tomb for Lantang, just like the previous life, and put him in the place closest to the sea, where he would sleep by the sea every day.

Dazai showed no surprise on his expression, as if he had thought of such a request from Chuya long ago.

"Speaking of..." After everything was over, Chuya recalled the scene he saw on the second floor, "What were you doing upstairs just now?"

"Oh, that's the welcome party prepared for you." Dazai approached a little bit as if asking for credit, "I prepared this by myself, how is it? Are you very touched?"

"...?" Chuya Zhongya slowly put out a question mark on the top of his head.

Welcome party?

He has no memory of this matter at all, and Zhong is sure that there was absolutely no such welcome party in the previous life, how could it be so sudden now——

Zhongye's body froze suddenly, and he remembered something.In his previous life, when he came to look for Lan Tang, he was not as good-tempered as he is now, but directly smashed the roof of the entire factory with gravity.

In other words, Dazai also prepared a welcome party for himself in the previous life, but he kicked him away...?

*

After Lantang's death, the rumors that the former leader of Hong Kong and black were resurrected were self-defeating. In the end, the children of "Sheep" did not follow Nakahara Chuya's original advice, and embarked on the same path as in the previous life, choosing to join forces with another organization "GSS".

However, organizations without supernatural powers, no matter how many armed forces they have, are fundamentally far behind the port mafia. "Sheep" and "GSS" linger on, and there is no big climate. In the end, Mori Ogai still looks at Chuya's face and bypasses the lives of those children.

It's just that whether he really wanted to let the children go, or whether he just wanted to win over Chuya in the Central Plains, it's impossible to know.

On the day the "Sheep" organization collapsed, Zhong also joined the port mafia.He once again got Rantang's hat from Mori Ogai, and from then on, this hat will accompany him in all battles and become his personal symbol.

So a month later—

Zhongya Nakahara woke up in the staff dormitory of the port mafia, and when he opened his eyes and saw the narrow ceiling, he was in a daze.It has been a while since he was reborn as a 15-year-old boy, but he still feels a little uncomfortable.

Especially this current residence.

He has not lived in the dormitory of Hong Kong and Hei for a long time.It's not that the conditions of the dormitories are not good, on the contrary, the dormitory buildings in Hong Kong and Heilongjiang are much better than the residences of some office workers renting alone in Yokohama.

In an independent apartment building, everyone's room is separated separately, beautifully decorated, with their own home appliances, and the most important thing is that living in such a place doesn't cost much rent at all.There are no other disadvantages except that the size is a bit cramped.

It's just that it pales in comparison to the detached seaside villa that Chuya later bought himself.

Zhong also belongs to people who find it difficult to fall back asleep once they wake up at the time set by their biological clock.Not long after lying on the bed, he got up directly and walked to the bathroom which was only a few steps away. After washing up, he began to prepare breakfast again.

The entire single-person apartment is connected together, from the bedroom to the kitchen to the living room, almost turning around.Except for the small area of ​​the bathroom, a separate space was built, which was blocked by a door.

Skillfully placed the fried egg and sausage on the plate, Nakaya took out two slices of bread and milk from the refrigerator.The bread was put into the toaster, and the milk was poured into a cup and sent into the microwave next to it.

While waiting for the two foods to be heated, he subconsciously opened the door of the locker next to him, trying to get some dog food for Alex to dig out.However, after groping for nothing, Chuya realized that this was no longer the room he used to be in, and Alex would not be by his side.

... If there is anything Chuya Nakahara is worried about after rebirth, then it should only be Alex's life.

In his previous life, the port mafia had already been on the right track, and Dun had already taken over as his successor, so there shouldn't be any problems after he left.No matter how bad it is, if there is really something that Dun can't solve, the big sister Hongye who is assisting at the side, and a former leader who retired to the orphanage as the dean, will not sit idly by.

But Alex was different.

Dogs are highly loyal animals, and their general IQ is comparable to that of a six or seven-year-old child.If Alex didn't see him coming home, I'm afraid he would be very sad...

During the eight years of living together, Nakahara Chuya has long put Alex as a family member.The golden retriever is dependent on him as his master, and he is also dependent on the other party, not to mention... Alex already has an extraordinary meaning to him.

——That was the only gift left to him after Osamu Dazai left in his previous life.

At that time, Dazai's death did bring some turmoil to the port mafia, but at that time, under her leadership, the port mafia had become an unshakable behemoth.So it didn't take long for the gangsters to resume their daily functions, except Zhongyuan Zhongye.

No one thought that Dazai's death would have such a great impact on Chuya Nakahara, not even himself.

He behaved like a normal person outside, and even quickly adapted to the position of leader on the second day after Dazai's death. Many people secretly talked about him as a heartless white-eyed wolf. He must have been staring at the leader. location.

Only those closest to Zhongye in the Central Plains knew that his heart had collapsed.

He works day and night, and when he has no work, he forces himself to find something to do, breaking himself into a string that seems to be broken at any time.However, just as everyone was anxious, thinking that he would continue to work at such a high intensity, until the string broke, a courier was delivered to him.

It was a newly born golden retriever cub, the recipient was him, but the sender was the dead Osamu Dazai.

No one thought that the death of Osamu Dazai would have much impact on Nakahara Chuya, not even Nakahara Chuya himself.

Only Osamu Dazai thought of it.

But she thought about it, but still chose to leave him.Instead, she left behind a dog she once hated the most as an apology, and as a gift that would always accompany him in the future.

Whenever he saw Alex, he would think of Dazai.From then on, this became the rope that bound him. He would look at the dog sent by her for the rest of his life, and he would also remember her for the rest of his life.

And Zhongyuan Zhong also knew it clearly, but he was unwilling to break free from this shackle by himself.

He fell in love with a gentle and ruthless person, a doomed star, a coward.

=====

Ding.

The microwave oven that finished heating the milk made a sound at the right time, pulling Chuya back from the memory that had been torn into pieces in the past.Looking up, the bread was almost baked, Chuya took out the milk, then turned his head and put the fried egg and ham between the two slices of bread, spread salad dressing on it, and put tomatoes and lettuce on it.

After the simple sandwiches were made, Nakaya came out of the open kitchen with a plate in his hand, and just as he sat down, he heard a rapid knock on the opposite door.He got up to open the door again, and as soon as he opened a crack, he felt a black figure flash into the room at a very fast speed, and sat down in front of the dining table at lightning speed.

Osamu Dazai unceremoniously sat on the seat where Chuya was just now, and then took a bite of the sandwich, "I'm starving to death, I didn't eat last night." With a big mouthful of bread stuffed in her mouth, she The words were a bit vague, "How come Li is so slow to be cute today, it's not at Li's level!"

Chuuya looked at her with a speechless expression.

"Where did you go last night?" The two of them lived very close to each other, and he knew exactly whether Dazai came home last night.So I didn't make Dazai's breakfast, and I didn't expect her to appear out of nowhere in the morning.

One month is enough for the relationship between the two of them to get along well. Dazai doesn't like to cook, so he comes to him every day to grab a meal.Chu also used to be used to cooking food for two, but after Dazai jumped off the building, this habit disappeared.

Now it just reappeared.

"The nest didn't do anything." Dazai's face was bulging, like a little hamster hoarding food, "I just fell asleep at the beach last night, and was woken up this morning by the uncle who came to clean up. "

"... Huh?" Zhong Yuanzhong also didn't understand how she could fall asleep listening to the sound of the waves at the beach, and she slept all night.Even though it is almost midsummer now, it is still chilly late at night by the beach.

It’s just that it’s good that Dazai didn’t go directly into the sea to sleep. After all, if she really did, I’m afraid that instead of being called up by the uncle who cleaned the street the next day, she would be cleaned up of garbage in the sea at some point. The uncle salvaged it.

Chuya really wanted to take care of it, but his current relationship with Dazai can only be said to be half-familiar, and it is far from the point where the sheets could roll together in the previous life.If he said it out loud, it might make Dazai even more suspicious of whether he was already familiar with her.

"Ah." Couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and Chuya walked into the kitchen silently to prepare another breakfast for himself.

His mentality has gradually calmed down.

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought a lot about the reason for his rebirth, and finally felt that this was an opportunity given to him by God himself.Maybe this time...he can make Osamu Dazai no longer the coward who would be afraid to live.
