Fool's Love

"The story written by Yamagishi" Shoko felt his blood start to boil.

The appearance of Haruta makes Xiangzi's idol instinct that has been dusty for a long time work again.

Even if he was worried about Nagata's existence a second ago, he can face Haruta with a radiant face this second.

"Miss Xiangzi?"

"It's me. If I remember correctly, you are Mr. Haruta, right?"

"Yes, my name is Haruta Hikaru."

"Mr. Guang..." Xiangzi nodded, and called him again, "Long time no see. Please come in! You'll catch a cold if you stand outside!"

"But I'm soaked right now, and walking in like this will wet the floor..."

"It's okay, I'll clean up later."

It has come to this point, Haruta Hikaru is not easy to refuse.He opened his mouth, as if he still wanted to find some polite words, and finally entered the room honestly.

Haruta took off his black leather shoes, and the white socks underneath were completely wet. "Take off your socks, too!"

Xiangzi gave him orders in a serious tone.Springfield's shoulders shook, and he did.

"It smells so good." After entering the room, Chuntian sniffed, "Are you cooking?"

"Yes, it's beef rice. Is Mr. Guang hungry?"

"A little bit. I haven't eaten after get off work, and I encountered this heavy rain."

"It happens that I still have some in the pot, let's eat together later. The bathroom is over there, and the towels on the shelf are brand new. Please wipe yourself clean first. In addition, you can use the hair dryer as you like."

"Does it matter?"

"what?"

"I might stain your towel. I fell on the road and cut the skin on my leg and got some blood."

"It's okay. Need a Band-Aid?"

"It would be better if there were bandages, trouble."

Springfield put the briefcase on the sofa and walked barefoot to the bathroom.Xiangzi gave him a bowl of rice and brought it to the table.

She turned on the TV, and there was a weekend special joke program on it.Xiangzi hadn't watched TV for a long time, but she didn't know what she should do while waiting for Haruta to pack up.

Xiangzi watched comedians performing jokes on the screen after a long absence, laughing from time to time.

About 10 minutes later, the door of the bathroom opened, and Mr. Chuntian, who was a little dry, came out and naturally went to the dining table.Xiangzi also stood up from the sofa.

"Long time no see," Haruta said.

"Yes. How many years? Three years?"

"Three and a half years." Chuntian sat down and picked up his chopsticks, "What are you doing now?"

It's just the same as before-an elder-like tone!

Xiangzi felt a little funny when he heard it. "Working part-time," she said, "delivery boy, waiter at a grocery store—everything."

Before he knew it, Xiangzi realized that the business life he originally wanted to maintain had disappeared.

"Where is Mr. Guang?"

"I'm still working in my original company, living a two-point and one-line life."

Haruta Hikaru should be 35 or [-] years old, but his fingers are still as clean as before—there are no rings on them.

"It tastes really good." He mixed the soup with rice and tasted it.

"Right? This is my specialty. But the beef is a special price in the supermarket. If I'm not satisfied with the quality of the ingredients, I'll have nothing to do. Please Mr. Guang go back and buy Kobe beef for cooking."

"Speaking of which, is Mr. Guang still promoting idols?"

"No more push. Since you graduated, I haven't chased other idols."

"This kind of statement sounds embarrassing!" Xiangzi laughed.It must be because she added cooking wine when making the soup, and she spoke like a slightly drunk person.

"People have their time to grow up," Chuntian said.He subconsciously waved his hand towards the bowl and missed it.

"Do you have soju here?"

"No! But I have beer here, a whole case, and I'll move it here."

Xiangzi got up.Seeing this, Chuntian couldn't help but smile wryly at her natural appearance: "Ah, beer. It's obviously a former idol..."

"It's been three and a half years since my idol graduated. What's this called..."People have a time to grow", come on! "

"That's not growth. In my opinion, your mind is still a minor."

"How rude! Mr. Light."

Shoko brought a whole case of Asahi beer from the kitchen.

They all had some wine.This is good for people who have been caught in the rain and can warm up.

After a while, with the help of alcohol, Haruta Hikaru told Xiangzi what he wanted to say since he entered the room.

"I really think so. I mean, you are immature. If I were you, if you came to borrow a towel on a rainy day, at most you would hand it over to him through a chain lock, and you wouldn't open the lock, let alone Let people into the house."

"But you are Mr. Light. I know you and know that you are not a malicious person."

"No one, Miss Xiangzi. If I actually plot against you, how will you deal with it?"

Xiangzi said without thinking, "Then I'll call the police."

"The phone was taken away as soon as I entered the house and soaked in the water tank. So what are you going to do?"

"I yelled and asked people around me to call the police for me."

"I came to the door at noon on a weekday, and most of the residents around me went to work. When you wanted to yell, I grabbed your neck hard. Well, in this case, what are you going to do?"

"Then I'll take advantage of the momentum to get closer to the balcony and go out the window. At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken."

Her answer made Haruta dumbfounded for a moment.After struggling for a while, Haruta finally didn't say why.He took off the glasses from his nose and pinched the part between the corners of his eyes with his fingers.

"You bastard...you're such a naive fool."

After a small victory in the verbal fight, Xiangzi showed a complacent expression.

She opened the window on the balcony, and strands of rainwater drifted in.With the fresh evening wind blowing, Xiangzi, who was drowsy from alcohol, became more sober.

"It's still raining. Mr. Guang didn't bring an umbrella, did he? Stay here until the rain stops."

Haruta nodded silently, with a thoughtful expression.After a while, he suddenly said: "You have worked hard."

"what do you mean?"

"As a girl, living alone in Tokyo."

"What's the matter?" His words touched Xiangzi, but Xiangzi pretended not to care.

"I noticed that there are many locks on your door, one, two, three. You used to be very insecure, right? But it doesn't matter, the future will definitely get better and better."

"thank you for your good wishes."

"No, not a blessing, but—a fact. Your life will definitely get better and better, hiccup."

"Mr. Light?"
