[Toru Amuro] Sunflower

......"

Amuro Toru suddenly had a strange impulse, and a voice quietly emerged from the cracked shell in his heart, saying, "Just be willful, just a moment."

Then pull away and leave those memories, even if it is difficult to let go.

Takigawa Aoi was still talking about the precautions during the wound recovery period, but Toru Amuro approached without warning, and pressed her lips against her, extremely restrained, but pressed down with unconcealable stubbornness.He took her head with his right arm and closed his eyes.

Takigawa Aoi had never felt his breath so close, and she hurriedly closed her eyes. She was still holding unused gauze in her hand, and one of them fell to the ground unsteadily.

Too hot, this taste is too hot.

It took a long time before Amuro Toru let her go.His own face was also flushed, and he turned his head away.

The two sat side by side on the sofa for a while, and Takikawa Aoi asked, "Are you hungry?"

Amuro Toru didn't speak, she just acquiesced.

"Then... I'll just use what's in your refrigerator?" Takigawa Aoi then asked tentatively.

Amuro snorted vaguely.

After getting permission, Takigawa Aoi went to the kitchen to get busy.In fact, she doesn't know how to cook, and usually takes care of it at the company, but when she eats with Ah Zhen at night, she doesn't want to wrong the young man who is growing up, so she learns some recipes from the Internet.

She took out the fresh mushrooms, carrots, and eggs in the refrigerator and made some preparations.Then, boil water in a pot, add some bonito flakes, and filter the soup several times.

Amuro Toru's eyes followed her all the time.Takigawa Aoi is very slow, but very meticulous, even the carrots are cut into fine filaments.

He suddenly thought of a sentence: If you like someone, you just have to change the way to express that I put you at ease.

That contradictory mood surged up again, raging in his heart like a needle prick.

The better she was, the more he wanted to push her away.

But he couldn't bear to push it away.

Takigawa Aoi added soy sauce, salt and a pinch of sugar, then added rice and beaten egg, looked at the watch to count the time, cooked for a while, sprinkled with chopped green onion, this fresh mushroom soup rice is ready finished.

She and Toru Amuro received the news almost at the same time.Ah Zhen told her: "Sister, I'm fine, I made a record at the police, and Mr. Endo sent me home. How are you?"

Toru Amuro received a message from Endo: "How is your injury? Where is the car parked?"

They each responded to their own situation, and of course, they all tacitly skipped the kissing part.

Amuro took a few mouthfuls, looked at Takigawa Aoi's expectant eyes, and swallowed the next mouthful of rice with "delicious".

He was afraid that if he said "delicious", she would really bring food over every day.

He was even more afraid that he would have such expectations.

If someone looks into his heart with a magnifying glass, it is estimated that it is a ball of tangled and tangled wool.

"I'm done." Toru Amuro put down his chopsticks.

Takikawa Aoi didn't show any disappointment either, she naturally put away his chopsticks: "Then I'll go wash the dishes."

"No need," Amuro called to stop her, paused again, and then said, "Now...it's too late, and it's not safe to take a taxi. You should stay here."

He pointed to the bedroom: "You sleep on the bed, I sleep on the sofa."

Takikawa Aoi hurriedly said: "No need, I can sleep on the sofa, you have to rest well, you are a wounded person..."

She was still wearing a cooking apron, her hair was loosely tied behind her head, and she was holding the bowls and chopsticks that hadn't been put in the sink in one hand. She looked too homely, and Toru Amuro suddenly thought of "raising cats with Xiaokui" "With this matter, I feel that if I look at her again, I will feel delusional.

Out of sight and out of mind, he simply walked into the bedroom and slammed the door behind him.

Before Takigawa Aoi could realize which words she had offended him again, she blinked innocently a few times, shook her head and walked towards the kitchen.

Amuro looked at his bedroom—there were very few paper copies of documents related to the organization or public security tasks, and even if there were, they were all locked tightly.The only copy on his desk was Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair by Pablo Neruda.

That was the book I discussed with Xiaokui last time.

But he knew that Takigawa Aoi wanted freedom and plain beauty.That fiery and heartbreaking feeling should stay in literary works, he didn't want her to experience it in reality.But like Neruda wrote - love is so short, forgetting is so long.

He sat down against the door and rubbed his temples.Outside the door was the sound of Aoi Takigawa washing dishes, followed by the sound of cleaning.

After that, the bedroom became quiet. He thought Takigawa Aoi had fallen asleep, but he heard footsteps at the door.

"Tou-kun, um, I don't know if I'm going to be called 'Zero-kun' now," Takigawa Aoi sat down outside the door, "You haven't slept yet, have you?"

"If you're in a bad mood, it's okay to vent, I can afford it."

Toru Amuro suddenly felt that his eye sockets were wet. He didn't respond, but he didn't move either. He listened carefully.

"At first, I really thought you were a carefree barista. We chatted a lot. Although I was not very familiar with you at that time, I already regarded you as a half-confidant. When we met at the airport , Are you investigating a case? At that time, I didn't know what I wanted, but I just felt inexplicably at ease when I was with you. "

Takigawa Aoi smiled slightly: "I was followed later, and I was surprised by your driving skills. I was thinking, what kind of person is this? Today I realized that you are indeed not an ordinary person."

"The invitation message was sent by Ah Zhen, but I... I'm actually very happy to go to the aquarium with you."

"Actually, I figured it out, whether you are Toru Amuro or Rei Fuguya, the one I like...is you."

The girl finally bravely faced her heart, that sincere confession broke through layers of barriers, and Toru Amuro's heart was broken.

"So, don't push me away." Aoi Takigawa said in a very serious tone, "I want to be by your side, if, if Toru and Zero are nothing, then can I plant a sunflower in your heart flower field?"

There was a long silence at the door.

Amuro took a few deep breaths, and whispered back: "I don't even want to keep the memories you gave me."

He could feel it through the door, and Takigawa Aoi froze for a moment.But he still closed his eyes, and continued word by word: "Tomorrow... when you leave, take them all away."

When Toru Amuro woke up, he found himself leaning against the door.He looked at his phone, and it was only around 06:30, and his left arm still hurt like a tear when he moved his left arm a little.He propped himself up with his right hand, checked the schedule, and confirmed that he would go to Poirot in the evening, so he sent a message to Xiaozi saying that he had a cold, and could he take the night shift.

He pushed open the bedroom door and subconsciously looked at the sofa.

Aoi Takigawa was not there, the sofa and table were neatly tidied up, but there was a bowl of porridge and a boiled egg on the table, and they were covered with something, apparently to avoid the heat from dissipating.

He walked over slowly and saw the note on the table——

"Tou-jun, remember to eat breakfast, don't work today, get more rest, Aoi."

The characters are like the person, very delicate, with a touch of cuteness.

He smiled, as if he had completely forgotten who the person who said "I don't want to keep memories" last night was, and sat down to eat this loving breakfast contentedly.

At around [-]:[-], Saburo Endo made a phone call: "People from the Metropolitan Police Department said that the kidnapping of Takikawa was really a group of hired gangsters, and they admitted that they chased your car in the Yongze Nursing Home. Checked the license plate number, there is no problem, they are from the same group.”

"Employed by whom?"

"It was a man named Higashino, who gave a large amount, and the purpose was to find out where Takigawa Aoi's father hid a 'secret'."

"Secret?" Toru Amuro thought deeply, "Then, Xiaokui's father probably left some evidence, but he didn't tell her."

"I think the same as you." Endo said, "But that 'Tono' probably thinks that Aoi Takigawa only found out about the existence of this 'secret' this year, and that's why he's looking for Kogoro Mori. They don't seem to know that Gu Chuan Ito is in the nursing home and followed him all the way."

"That Furukawa Ito has a bit of a conscience," Toru Amuro drank the last mouthful of porridge, "I suspected that he directed and acted a show by himself, and wanted to harm Xiaokui."

"The Metropolitan Police Department is already investigating, and Mr. Mori seems to have been called over to ask some questions." Endo said, "Do you still want to intervene? 'X' has moved again, I suspect he is coming for you .Is it true that you said yesterday that the injury was not serious? Recently, don’t act alone..."

"Stop rambling, old lady," Amuro said helplessly, "I don't act alone, do you think it's possible? You know my top priority. Besides, I met 'those people' yesterday."

Endo was silent for a few seconds: "That's it. Be careful, the car has already been parked in the garage for you. I'll pay more attention to 'X'."

After hanging up the phone, Toru Amuro went to change the medicine by himself, he could only move awkwardly with one hand, and he thought of the way Takigawa Aoi applied the medicine carefully yesterday, and that kiss that was extremely restrained but still full of possessiveness.

"Don't think about it." He said to himself, "If you have that time, it's better to find out what Gin was doing at the ANDREA bar yesterday."

In the end, he thought of Takigawa Aoi's alluring outfit again...

Toru Amuro kicked himself over the trash can angrily.

He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not the same as before...

What Toru Amuro didn't expect was that the relationship between him and Aoi Takigawa was different from before.

To be honest, regardless of the purpose of "investigating the case", from an outsider's point of view, it is also Takigawa Aoi who he is chasing after himself. Although the other girl is a bit interesting,
