Casablanca dedicated to Mr. Nakahara

The sound of the shoji door being pushed awakened Qianli, who was about to be swallowed by negative emotions, and he raised his head subconsciously.His empty gaze gradually regained focus, and he almost blurted out a customary name.

The young man walking towards him was wearing a three-piece suit and vest, and the corners of the coat draped over his shoulders were slightly raised.The shadow cast by the narrow-brimmed top hat blurred his face, and the pure black leather choker was pressed against his white neck.

—Mr. Nakahara? !

Qianli quickly turned off the live broadcast on the computer, and at the same time hurriedly threw "Blue Eyes" into the drawer.He forced himself to calm down, but he still couldn't calm down his flustered heartbeat.Fortunately, there is still a layer of Yi/rong mask on the face, otherwise how to explain the hot cheeks...

"No, I'm very sorry, our store's business hours are from eleven o'clock to three o'clock in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Zhongyuan Zhong also stopped, and looked towards the right corner meaningfully.He noticed it when he entered the door. There was a small vertical blackboard, and the business hours of the bookstore were marked in white chalk.

Oops... forgot to put the sign outside the store.

"Holding, I'm sorry, it was my mistake at work." Qianli lowered his head, not daring to look directly into this man's eyes.

"Ah, it's okay." Zhong Yuanzhong also narrowed his eyes slightly while speaking, and looked suspiciously at the 'girl' not far away.

He was on vacation today, and he came here specially to pick up the red wine he had ordered, and the driver's subordinates took the ten bottles of Petus, which were of a fair vintage, to the parking lot.After finishing the work, he planned to go home directly, but when he passed by this bookstore, he suddenly remembered the Takahashi Kazuko he met yesterday.During the chat, the other party mentioned that the boss was looking for a limited-edition collection of paintings—the manuscript of Vincent van Gogh, so he walked into the 'Lily' bookstore with a chance.

"Have we met somewhere?" Zhong Yuanzhong also asked with some uncertainty.

Qianli's heart shuddered, and he shook his head pretending to be calm.His disguise is perfect, even Oda Shinichi who has been with him all year round can't recognize him.

"Is it... Excuse me."

Zhong Yuan was about to leave, when the 'girl' called out to stop him when he turned around.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can do to help?" As soon as the words came out, Qianli clenched his sleeves tightly in frustration.Under the young man's scrutinizing gaze, he was highly nervous and added in a low voice: "Holding, sorry, I just don't think we can let the guests go for nothing."

Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his eyebrows, the 'girl' seemed very shy of strangers, and the other party's eyes never stayed on him since he came in.

"I'm looking for a book, the manuscript collection of Vincent van Gogh."

"Please wait a moment."

Although he had no formal training, Qianli did some homework temporarily.He held the mouse and called out the library management system in a strange way, and set 'Vincent Van Gogh' as ​​a keyword to search.In less than half a second, the result came out.From top to bottom, there are three biographies, five oil painting collections and two collections of Impressionist painters.

"Excuse me... is it the draft manuscript that includes the personal letters?"

Zhong Yuan Zhong also froze, caught off guard by being asked.He cleared his throat as a cover-up, and then whispered: "How many paintings are there?"

"Five books, excluding the collections of many artists." Qianli replied.

Nakahara Chuya: "Well, I want everything."

"...Please wait a moment, I will fetch it for you."

Secretly noting the location of the books, Qianli quickly left the cash register.He walked straight through the aisle between the flower racks, all the way to the innermost row of bookcases.The unique fragrance of lilies and the fragrance of ink from books lingered in the nostrils, and the unbalanced heartbeat calmed down a little.

These five art books are easy to find, they are placed in the center of the bookcase.The cover of the book is basically made of highly saturated yellow or blue-green, which makes people think of the famous "Sunflower" and "Starry Night" at a glance.

Qianli took off the albums one by one, holding them carefully in the crook of his arm.Just as he was about to leave, his vision suddenly went dark, and a slight air current stroked the hair beside his ears.He immediately froze in place, his mind blank.

Why did Mr. Nakahara follow? !

After half a minute of silence, Qianli, who was so nervous that he was about to smoke, stammered in a low voice: "Guest, guest, you—"

Zhong Yuanzhong, who was blocked at the entrance of the corridor, also stretched out his index finger and raised the brim of his hat, his clear voice was highly recognizable. "Do I look that scary?"

"……No."

The shadow on the floor was getting closer, and Qianli took two steps to the side in a bewildered manner.He vaguely smelled a sour fruity aroma after fermentation, as well as the familiar tobacco smell. "You, you—"

Zhong Yuanzhong also let out a low laugh from the corner of his lips, and his fierce aura instantly invaded this small space.It wasn't until the flustered 'girl' retreated to the corner that he stopped slowly.His eyes accidentally fell on the blushing ear tips of the other party, and the young man who had a drink at the wine counter opened his mouth belatedly.

Hmm... Are you bullying too much?

Zhong Yuanzhong also took a deep look at 'her', and the distance between the two of them was less than half a meter.

"Thousands of miles."

"Boom—" The beautifully bound album slipped to the ground, and the 'girl' raised her head subconsciously.The moment their gazes met, those cobalt blue eyes took all his attention.

It wasn't until the man picked up the dropped painting album that Qianli regained part of his sanity.

"Mr. Zhongyuan, you, how do you know it's me?"

"Intuition?" Nakahara said frankly.

Qianli: "..."

"What are you doing here? The disguise is for the mission?" Zhong Yuanzhong asked incomprehensibly.

Qianli hesitated for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable reason, so he could only shake his head in embarrassment.He has been waiting for the signal from Takahashi and Light, in order to meet someone unilaterally.As a result, Mr. Doctor, who was always punctual, dropped the line, and he himself revealed his identity in advance.

"So, do you have time?" Nakahara Chuya asked again.

Qianli tilted her head, "Yes."

Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Have a drink together? You have rejected me several times before, and it just so happens that you don't have to wear that troublesome mask today."

"...Okay." Qianli nodded obediently.

//////

The crisp wind chimes sounded, and the underground 'Jas/mine' bar welcomed two guests who were traveling together.The bartender standing behind the bar bowed and saluted with a smile on his lips. He had already recognized the identity of one of them—one of the five cadres, Chuya Zhongya, the gravity user.

As a member of the intelligence department, he enjoys the process before the mystery is revealed more than his colleagues' exuberant curiosity.If it were someone else, maybe the internal forum would have been shocked!Mr. Hat's mysterious girlfriend turns out to be her! '……s post.

Zhong Yuanzhong also knocked on the bar and asked, "Is there any more Petrus that I have here?"

"There are two in 92 and two in 95." The bartender replied respectfully.

"It's from 92."

"Yes, wait a moment."

Not long after, the bartender walked towards table 07 in the corner with a tray, and gave them a set of drinking utensils and a silver ice bucket with a few ice cubes.The dark red wine is poured into the long-necked decanter, and the red wine of a certain year only needs to wait for about 5 minutes.Serve wine at a minimum temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, and adjust accordingly according to the variety.

"Two, please take it easy. If you need anything, just tell me at any time."

The bartender who returned to the bar selected a romantic harp song from the record rack and put it on the vinyl record player. The first song was "Girl with Flaxen Hair".

The fresh and beautiful melody reverberated in the room, and the music relieved the tension of thousands of miles.He breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze to Jasmine in the vase.

Zhong Yuanzhong also took off his top hat, and glanced at the 'girl' who was still stiff.He tilted his head helplessly, his tone softened a bit.

"What do you like to do on your vacation?"

Qianli was startled, and replied hesitantly: "Read a book, or make a mask."

Zhong Yuanzhong also nodded thoughtfully. Sure enough, he basically doesn't go out except for work...

"Speaking of which, I don't know where you live, near the company?"

The innocent sleeves were ravaged again, and Qianli dryly reported the address of the mansion.

At the end of the song, Zhongyuan Zhong also took out the decanter from the ice bucket and poured a third of the wine into the goblets.He pushed one of the cups thousands of miles away, and immediately toasted.

"It's hard to ask you out, give it a try?"

The dark red liquid gave off a blurred halo under the light, and Qianli picked up the wine glass as if bewitched.The rich yet delicate aroma of the wine hits the face, with flowers and fruits mixed with the breath of green leaves.The wine enters the throat, and the strong sourness continues to ferment in the mouth. After a few seconds, there is only a trace of sweetness on the lips and tongue.He took another sip, and the small flame that ignited in his chest intensified.

Putting down the wine glass, followed by a strong sense of dizziness.

Qianli raised his head in a daze, and asked clearly, "Are you going to the mall today for the signing event?"

Ok?

This is drunk?

It's a lot more courageous... Zhong Yuanzhong also laughed dumbfounded. "No, I'm going to get the wine."

"Don't lie!" Qianli aggressively poured the rest of the wine into his mouth, and immediately looked to the decanter after drinking it all. "I want more."

Zhong Yuanzhong also narrowed his eyes slightly, and flatly refused: "No, you are already drunk. Besides, I don't know what signing event is."

"Hmph, a little bit."

"No."

"what could."

"Do not."

Qianli puffed her cheeks, turned her head and sulked alone. "Mr. Zhongyuan is a cheapskate!"

...Are you so cute when you're drunk?

Zhong Yuanzhong also put some ice cubes in the wine glass, he needs to calm down.

As a result, without paying attention, Qianli used the agility of "the strongest assassin" to snatch the wine bottle that was put aside.In the process of pouring wine, don't forget to be vigilant at all times to avoid being snatched back.

"You bastard..." Zhongyuan Zhong also pressed the center of his brows with a face of headache, "One last cup."

"Yeah." Qianli immediately nodded in agreement, and put down the bottle obediently. "Last time in Hakone, what did you want to tell me?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also had a stagnant breath, and his expression gradually became a little unnatural.It should be fortunate that the young man in front of him is already half drunk and half awake, otherwise he would definitely have noticed his abnormality.

"Looking for you to drink."

"Oh."

"You... wait, don't take a bite!"

Qianli shook the empty wine glass, as if wondering why the wine in it disappeared so quickly.

"One more drink!" As soon as the voice finished, the 'girl' lay down on the table with her eyes closed.

Zhongyuan Zhong also put on his top hat and walked across the table.He easily picked him up by the waist, and greeted the bartender as he passed by the bar. "Clean up, please."

"Two, please go slowly."

The driver, a strong man in a black suit, kept his eyes on his nose, his nose, his nose, and his heart. After receiving instructions from his boss, he stepped on the accelerator.The whole journey takes less than 10 minutes, and the quaint buildings located between the forest and the sea are within easy reach.

Holding Qianli to the entrance, Nakahara Chuya was about to ring the doorbell when the door in front of him was suddenly opened.The man in the white coat over the suit smiled and made a 'please' gesture, as if he had expected this situation long ago.

"Takahashi?"

"Hello, Lord Zhongyuan, do you need me to show you the way?"

"Well, thank you."

In fact, Takahashi Kazuko, who was walking in front, had just returned not long ago. After arriving at the boss's bedroom, he retired and had to report to the leader later.

After placing the person on the made bed, Zhongyuan Zhong also stood up slowly.He took a little look at the room, and the only furniture was a locker half the height of a person.Gold on a black background with a white/pink double cherry tree painted on it.There is a mahogany knife holder on the top of the cabinet, and the demon knife named 'Mura Rain' sleeps there quietly.Even if it is put into the scabbard, you can still feel the chill emanating from its body.

While dazed, Qianli who was lying under the blanket suddenly got out and walked straight to the adjacent cloakroom.

"Thousands of miles?"

The 'girl' who was in a half-dream and half-awake state didn't hear his voice at all, and didn't even know that there was another person in the room, and acted entirely on instinct.

Nakahara Chuya followed immediately, and the beautiful butterfly bone came into view after crossing the shoji gate.His eyes retreated in a panic, and the heat on his face lingered for a long time.

A few minutes later, the sound of dripping water came from inside.Mr. Hat, who is essentially an innocent young man, came to the corridor silently, and his eyes moved to the rockery with the lantern hanging on it.The cool autumn wind blew gently, still unable to calm down, he took out his mobile phone.

Work is a good way to divert attention, and Nakahara started to work overtime with a gloomy face.

There are as many as ten documents to review, and you only need to sign directly when you go to the company tomorrow.When he was about to check the next weapon order, the sound of messy footsteps came from behind him.

"Chuya...brother?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also turned his head abruptly, his cobalt blue pupils suddenly constricted.
