[Toru Amuro] Sunflower

The picture of Shitou being scratched, followed by the photo of the five-member police academy...

"It'll be fine." Aoi Takigawa said to herself as she took a taxi and stopped at the nearest tram stop to the wooden horse apartment.She was afraid of causing any trouble to Toru Amuro, so she never dared to directly report his home address.

On the way from the tram station to the wooden horse apartment, Takikawa Aoi was in a mess.Toru Amuro has been reluctant to reply to her messages recently, it's been five days... five days is too long, anything can happen.But she knew nothing about his condition.

The weather was not good, as if it wanted to make her feel worse, it started to rain, and she left the company in a hurry without an umbrella, and after a while, her hair was half wet.

She knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered.

"Mr. Amuro? Mr. Amuro?"

Still no response.

Takigawa Aoi's heart sank slowly, she walked out in a daze, and sat on the steps.

At this moment, the familiar fear of losing someone she cared about gripped her tightly.She sobbed slowly, and then cried more and more fiercely. Tears slid down her face mixed with rain. A stray cat.

It's been a long time, and there hasn't been such a moment of embarrassment.

And just when she was crying so hard that she didn't know her last name, a familiar voice reached her ears——

Standing in front of her, Toru Amuro called out in surprise and pity: "Xiaokui?"

lingering

Toru Amuro was wearing a well-tailored suit she had never seen before, with a wine-red tie, and looked heroic even on a rainy evening.He was holding a rather textured black umbrella, which was not big, and he hurried forward to cover Takigawa Aoi from the rain, but his clothes were quickly wet.

"Where have you been?" Aoi Takigawa raised her head and asked in a crying voice.

"I have a mission," Toru Amuro stretched out his hand, "Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

Takigawa Aoi was pulled up, and she stood on the steps, looking straight into his eyes for the first time.In those eyes was the exhaustion that couldn't be hidden and the distress that was about to overflow.

He reached out to wipe her face, countless words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to speak.

Takigawa Aoi paused for a moment, gently tugged at the corner of Toru Amuro's clothes, and whispered, "As long as you are fine, then I will go."

"How can I get out of this?" Amuro frowned, stopped her, took the bag off her shoulder, and held it in his hand, "Go in first."

Without any explanation, he picked up the drowned cat at the door, went in and turned on the light, found a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and pointed in the direction of the bathroom: "I'll get you a piece of clothing, if you want to wash it Taking a bath...is fine too."

Regardless of Aoi Takigawa's flushed face, he dug out a semi-long-sleeved off-white T-shirt with a few letters simply printed on it from the closet: "This...you probably wear it like pajamas, let's make do with it." , put on another cotton coat later, and I'll take you back."

Takigawa Aoi took it over, and didn't move in a daze.

Anshi said heartily: "It's not the first time I've come here, my face is so red."

He touched her forehead again worryingly - sure enough, it was not as hot as usual.

"You don't even know you have a fever?" He asked angrily.

"Ah," Takigawa Aoi felt the temperature with her hands, "Maybe it's because I've been busy with work lately... I stayed up for a few nights..."

"Hurry up and take a shower," Amuro pushed her to the door of the bathroom, "Come out and take medicine later."

He heard the sound of water, so he took off his tie and his suit, fearing that it would be cold when Aoi Takigawa came out, so he opened the heater in advance.

Then, he rummaged through all the antipyretics and anti-inflammation medicines and found all the antipyretics and anti-inflammatory medicines. After a few glances at the formulas, he suddenly realized that he didn't know whether Xiaokui was allergic to any medicines, so he simply put those boxes in a row, and asked when she came out. .

He turned on the kettle again, took the cup and put it aside before sitting down on the sofa.

For the past few days, Toru Amuro has been checking things about "X" at the headquarters, and he just returned home today. "X" is a code name for a public security policeman.He seemed to be betraying the police department. Since summer, there have been two information leaks. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and did not cause serious losses.Toru Amuro, Endo and others maintained the superficial peace, but they had actually been investigating secretly for a long time.According to Endo Saburo's investigation, this "X" is likely to be someone who has a relationship with Furutani Rei.

As an undercover agent, Bourbon knows how terrifying it is to smash an organization from the inside.Fortunately, this "X" does not seem to be an undercover agent at present, but more like a fellow who has gone astray.

He rubbed the center of his brows, trying to drive out the tiredness, but a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Even with the help of Kazami and Endo and others, most of the time, he still lives like a lone wolf.Never know what it's like to have someone waiting when you come home.

Not to mention the pear blossoms who were crying at the door waiting for him because of worry.

When Takikawa Aoi came out of the wash, her hair was still dripping wet, and she lowered her eyes because of shyness, like a kitten who had made a mistake.

That T-shirt really looked like a skirt on her body, but her calves were still exposed outside, Amuro glanced at her and turned her head quickly.

Aoi Takigawa was also a little awkward, and whispered, "I didn't find the hair dryer."

It was only then that Toru Amuro remembered that he left the hair dryer in the living room last time. He got up from the sofa, took out the hair dryer and held it in his hand, thought for a while, and said to the girl, "Xiao Kui, come here."

Aoi Takigawa moved closer, reaching out to take the hair dryer.

Toru Amuro moved a stool from the side, pointed at it, and said softly, "I'll blow it for you."

Takigawa Aoi was still in a daze, so he lightly pushed her down on the stool. The sound of the hair dryer mixed with the heat rushed towards her, which was actually a different kind of warmth.

"It's really troublesome," Amuro Toru's voice flew into her ears through the hot wind, "I'm already busy, so why go to Poirot to find me? If the company is under too much pressure, you can change it. I think Ah Zhen is quite sensible. , he might think so too..."

"I heard that Mr. Maori has already found the truck driver. He seems to be a drug addict who died a year ago? Don't worry, there will always be other clues. Don't worry about everything by yourself. You might find it someday." Once the evidence is obtained, it will be clear..."

Takigawa Aoi listened quietly, answering a few times from time to time.

The sum of what he had said to her in Poirot these days was not as much as this time.

The sound of the hair dryer stopped, and Toru Amuro brushed the girl's hair with his hands, which also carried a hint of tenderness.He talked about trouble, but his eyes were full of warmth.

Because he... At this moment, he really wants to be troubled for the rest of his life.

Afterwards, Toru Amuro watched her take some antipyretics, and even packed the rest of the medicine into a bag for her.

"I'm not at home these days, and there's no food in the refrigerator." Toru Amuro turned on his phone and checked the nearby restaurants. "How are you, can you go out to eat? Or do you want to go home and eat?"

"Let's eat with you." Takigawa Aoi muttered.

Amuro smiled and ruffled her hair.They went to a nearby ramen restaurant and each ordered a tonkotsu ramen, served with soft-boiled eggs, seaweed and soft bamboo shoots. The first bite was full of satisfaction.

"Are you working hard?" Takigawa Aoi asked.

"Fortunately, I'm used to it." Anshi swallowed a mouthful of noodles and drank another saliva, "Xiao Kui should stop being curious."

"I didn't want to know your secrets either," Takigawa Aoi said, "I just... want to know more about you. Do you have any hobbies?"

Amuro was dumbfounded.He suddenly didn't know where to start with his "this person".

He seems to have given almost all of his life to one mission after another, thrilling again and again.

He tried hard to think about his hobbies that have nothing to do with work: "Well, I seem to have talked with you about all the books I like to read, and other things... I can play a little guitar, and I used to like playing tennis."

"Wow," Takigawa Aoi showed adoring eyes, "It's amazing."

Toru Amuro accepted this kind of admiration with satisfaction, then waved his hands and said modestly: "Your level is average, and you haven't won a championship like Xiaokui. But... it doesn't look like you are really good at fighting."

Takigawa Aoi chuckled: "How can I compare with you, do you know that Ah Zhen understands that you want to save him, and after clearing up the misunderstanding, he has already clamored to be admitted to the police academy."

Toru Amuro also laughed: "Then Xiaokui will go back to school when she has a chance, what would she like to learn?"

Takikawa Aoi said generously, "I want to study medicine."

Toru Amuro didn't expect this answer. He thought that Aoi Takigawa would learn something full of literary and artistic flavor, or major in economics and management—after all, she had been in contact with the company very early, and she had work experience in this field.

"Why do you want to study medicine? When you were admitted to Dongda University, didn't you apply for finance? It's so far behind."

"At that time, I read my father's book, and thought that studying finance and accounting seemed very good." Takigawa Aoi turned the straw, lowered her head, and said, "Later, something like that happened to my father. I didn’t know what to study. Until I met you, I really wanted to study medicine.”

The chopsticks raised by Toru Amuro suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Met you... want to study medicine.

Are you going to take care of me?

In your world, have I been able to make waves and change your life choices?

Toru Amuro stopped talking, feeling that the ramen was not as delicious as before.

Maybe it was the hot bath that made her feel relaxed, maybe it was seeing that Toru Amuro was safe and sound, and she was no longer worried, or maybe... it was the cotton coat wrapped around him, the breath made her feel too safe.Along the way, Takigawa Aoi sat in the car, and the whole person relaxed, only then did he feel that he really had a serious burn
