King of 25 Cubs

"Mr. Chuya, I'm sorry."

"thank you too."

On the other side of the phone, Matilda's voice was used.

Zhong Yuan was silent for a long time, and finally hung up the phone quietly.

He was sitting upright in front of the bar in the bar, with no wine on the table, and his eyes were clear.

He didn't look drunk at all.

But there was no surprise in that gaze, no accident, calm without a trace of waves.

This tranquility is like a black stone under the shadow of a towering mountain, covered with frost and snow, congealed but crystal clear, deep and transparent.

"Liar liar."

Zhong Yuanzhong also muttered softly, and rang the table bell: "Bartender, I want the highest alcohol alcohol, the kind that can make me fall asleep right away after drinking a glass."

"Master Chuya, won't you drink red wine this time?"

Hirotsu Liulang, who was sitting beside Nakahara Nakaya, held the wine glass in one hand and turned his head to ask him.

"Well, no red wine." Zhong Yuan stared at the bar and wrote lightly: "In my current mood, red wine probably tastes sour and bitter, so don't waste it."

Then, he smiled wryly again: "And I'm afraid I'm not completely drunk."

If you call Takaho Yuka after you get drunk, or go to him directly, it is equivalent to breaking your oath and disturbing the other party again.

This is not allowed!He also valued promises the most in Central Plains. If he said something, he would cut the gold and cut the jade, and when he fell to the ground, he could hear the jingling sound, and he couldn't spell the word "regret" when it was broken into scum.

Guangjin Liulang showed a clear expression, smiled and said: "Break in love?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought about it, and said with a slight sneer: "Break up without being in love, is this considered broken love?"

"That depends on whether you like each other, sir."

Zhong Yuanzhong also lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "When she confessed to me, I was actually quite confused."

Confused and nervous, a little embarrassed, maybe a little happy... In short, I didn't know what to do. I almost tripped when I was walking, and I had the same hands and feet when I climbed into the helicopter.

He didn't know whether he should accept such a confession, or in other words, he didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Matilda, so he only said that he would consider it.

During his business trip in the west, he really thought about it seriously.

When I was not working, I kept thinking, thinking, thinking a lot.

In fact, after Zhongyuan Zhong also understood the other party's thoughts, he realized the deep meaning of the girl's many actions in the past.

Then he was cursing and blushing.

It's not that there are no girls who have confessed to him, most of them are JK, at the age of flower buds.

And those female high school students who blocked him on the road with love letters were all mercilessly chased away by him.

Do you know what he does?Did you know what he was like?Do you understand what it means to have blood on him?

Just because of looks, or a small favor I did, I came to confess without knowing anything, it is really lack of consideration!

What if he is Dazai's scum, who never refuses anyone... Ah, no, it's biased to say that, Dazai is not always there, that mackerel teases Miss Sister for other purposes and is useless , probably didn't even bother to take a look.

Does it seem more scumbag?

Anyway, what if he's not a good guy?These girls really don't know what to say!

But Matilda, who was the same age as those JKs, confessed to him.

I have been working as a brother before, drinking and chatting with him and scolding Dazai, and occasionally going on missions together, sending him back to the port Mafia when he is drunk, making him angry and then coaxing him to be happy, sending messages every day, good morning, good night, what did you eat? , he would often forget to reply when he was busy...why did he suddenly confess?

Wait, this seems to exceed the line of "brothers", right?How stupid he was!

This cunning liar dropped many anchors along the way, which eventually became his habit.

For Matilda, Nakahara Chuya's senses have always been somewhat complicated.

At first, I thought she was a girl, but somehow she turned into a women's clothing boss, and finally turned into a girl again... Tsk, this person is too troublesome!

Troublesome and irritating, always worried, afraid of her causing trouble and worrying about her, Zhong Yuan is also tired like an old father.

Like it?

Should like it.

At least he didn't worry so much about other brothers.

At least he didn't care so much about other girls.

At least for anyone else, he won't feel the nervousness after being confessed, and the anger and unwillingness when he knows that she has someone else he likes.

Yes, that's the word, unreconciled.

"So, I actually like it." Guangjin Liulang concluded: "It's just that when you just found out, the other party has already withdrawn and left."

The gentleman-like old man sighed, and said with a little regret: "From my point of view, you probably... met too early."

At this time, the bartender put down a glass of Polish vodka - "Water of Life" in front of Zhongyuan Zhongye.

"This is the strongest liquor in our store, and also the world's number one liquor, with 96 degrees."

"96 degrees?!" Zhong Yuanzhong also widened his eyes, looking at the clear and transparent liquid in the cup in disbelief: "This is alcohol, right? It can be directly used for disinfection with some water, right?

"Even the fighting men who can blow vodka against the bottle rarely drink it directly. The water of life is generally used to make cocktails."

The bartender smiled and made a 'please' gesture with his palms up: "Would you like to challenge?"

"Tch, isn't it just spirits!" Zhong Yuanzhong picked up the wine glass without hesitation, the wine liquid shone brightly under the refraction of the glass and the blurred light.

The light shone in his eyes, illuminating the slightly dull blue pupils, like precious blue patoite.

"No matter how choking the wine is, it won't be more choking than a woman." He muttered in a low voice, and raised his glass to signal Guangjin Liulang: "Cheers?"

"Cheers for what?" Guangjin Liu Lang also raised his glass: "For broken love?"

Zhong Yuan didn't answer for a while, he stared at the wine glass for a long time, then chuckled.

"No." He said firmly, every word and every sentence seemed to be engraved on his heart:

"For my future is bright, for me...seek benevolence and benevolence."

·

When did you find out that Takaho Yuka belonged to Matilda?

In fact, this is not a step-by-step process, it seems that at a certain moment, it seems to be enlightened and suddenly blessed to the soul.

When Zhongyuan Zhong also stared at Dongmei's petal-like eyes, many images appeared in front of him like a revolving lantern.

All the doubts and incongruities in the past now have answers.

their eyes so alike;

Her avoidance of him;

She lies again and again and avoids the important;

The familiar relationship between her and Osamu Dazai;

He couldn't bear to beat her soft heart;

And that phone call when she was Matilda:

——Mr. Nakaya, can you say that sentence again?

—Which sentence?

——What if I am a bad person, please be more cautious in your words and deeds!

Also, and, when she said "You raise your head up", when she said "You are a very good person, don't look down on yourself", those serious eyes seemed to be illuminated.

You should be as bright as the sun.

So don't bow your head at this moment.

Why are they only now finding out that they are the same person?

In fact, Takaho Yuka did not deliberately show the difference between the two.Was there a moment when she wished that he could pass through the vast crowd and recognize her at a glance?

But he didn't, not once.

What kind of clumsy eyes did you have, so you didn't recognize it all the time?

Not only that, but he also appeared in front of her again and again, showing his distrust, anger, questioning, blaming, and irrational anger.

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought that such a him, whether as a friend or a lover, would be "disqualified".

No wonder Matilda didn't want to appear in front of him again.

In the alley of the amusement park, he deliberately threw a harsh word at Takaho Yuka, turned around and left, trying not to make his steps so embarrassing.

Why not just ask?Why not expose the other party?Why not force her to admit that she is Matilda?

Because it doesn't make any sense.

She is Takaho Yuka from Shirakata, not Matilda from Port Mafia.

Chief Sen may not be ignorant of this matter.

Matilda doesn't exist, she's just a phantom, or a dream.

Zhong Yuan, who suddenly figured everything out, left the amusement park with a clear and calm mind, but his thoughts were chaotic, and his whole body seemed to be divided into two parts.

Half of them were Mafia cadres at the port, calmly analyzing the pros and cons.

Half of them, as Chuya of the Central Plains, are sad and angry at themselves.

In the torment of this double world of ice and fire, he went to the place where Matilda lived before.

The black-skinned neighbor downstairs has already moved out, and he has never seen the new resident, who is instructing the moving company to deliver the furniture, and he is also carrying the heavy-looking wooden sofa.

He almost fell when going up the stairs, and Zhongyuan Zhong also helped him, and by the way, he used his abilities to help reduce the weight of the furniture.

"Thank you." The new resident scratched his seaweed-like messy hair and smiled gratefully: "My name is Kirihara Akaya, are you also a resident here?"

"No, I'm just here...to visit friends."

Zhong Yuanzhong also pointed to the top of his head: "She lives upstairs from you."

Matilda has already withdrawn the rent, but Zhongyuanzhong has been helping to continue paying the rent.

Saying goodbye to the new residents, he climbed up the steps and finally saw the familiar door.

Then, he bent one leg and sat leaning against the door, without speaking for a long time.

Until the sound of moving downstairs stopped, the sensor lights in the corridor went out, Nakahara Nakaya was immersed in the boundless darkness, and he turned his back to the security door and said to himself:

"Little liar, you once said that if I hear any news about you from others, I must not believe it. If I want to know something, I will ask you directly."

"So I'm here to ask you now, do you still have a name called 'Takaho Yuka'?"

"Aren't you, never coming back?"

No one spoke, and the echoes in the air were filled with loneliness.

Zhong Yuanzhong also fell silent again. After a long time, he took out a wallet from his pocket - it was the wallet that Matilda had picked out in the store for a long time and gave it to him.

"Hey, now it's back to its original owner. I've got my wallet back, so I'll give you back yours too."

He stood up and stuffed his wallet into the mailbox by the door.

"In this way, we owe nothing to each other."

"I'm leaving, I won't come here again."

He took a few steps, then turned back suddenly.

"Matilda, is my choice correct?"

Still no one answered, only an empty echo——

...is that correct?

……is correct……

Echo speaks her answer instead of that person.

is correct.

Because that's exactly what you want to work towards.

As a qualified leader, you will inevitably face countless dilemmas and sacrifices in the future.

Some things have to be done by someone.

You just need to firmly believe that your choice is correct, and then continue to hold your head high and stride forward.

……

"Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence?" Guangjin Liulang smiled and said, "Mr. Chuya, you have grown up."

With a sound of "ding", the glass wine glasses collided with each other, making a crisp symphony.

Making your own choices and living with the consequences is part of growing up.

Zhongyuan Zhong also raised his head and drank the glass of "Water of Life".

It was colorless and tasteless, but it was very choking to drink. The hot liquid slid down his throat and into his stomach, making him tremble all over.

The lights and colors in front of me swirled into chaos, my sanity and memory seemed to be erased blank, and even the weight of my soul became light.

I really want to sleep.

Then go to sleep, go to sleep.

She was drunk this time, so she probably wouldn't send him off.

It doesn't matter, if you don't send it, don't send it.

When he wakes up, he is still the Mafia Gravitator who flaunted the port in the past, and he is still the sun that shines on everything.

There seemed to be someone beside him sighing.

Who is it?

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought in a daze, completely falling into a dark dream.

……

When Zhongyuan Zhongye woke up again, it was already noon on the second day, and he found himself lying in the ruins, with a golden light above his head, which warmed his body.

The bar owner squatted beside him, smoking a cigarette full of sorrow, seeing him sober, with a drooping bitter face, he said: "Mr. Just look at it."

Nakahara Chuya: "...I'm sorry."

The consequences of this growth were a bit disastrous, and he felt particularly aggrieved when he paid for it.

Damn, can Takaho Yuka pay for this money? !

The author has something to say:

Zhong also said that Dazai has a personal perspective chapter, and he must also have this aspect.

All right, arrange for him!

----

Kirihara Akaya visited the upstairs neighbor with a gift the next day, and rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one opened the door.

Later, other neighbors told him: "No one lives in this house."

Kirihara Akaya: Damn me, or the person who helped me? ? ?

----

Making your own choices and living with the consequences is part of growing up.

——This sentence was the motto of a professor when I was a freshman.

The original English sentence seems to be from a foreign movie or TV series, I don't remember.
