me, the protagonist

On November 2th.

9:00AM, Mori's Entertainment Department office.

The art department has not expanded its staff, and Yu Guling is usually the first to arrive at the company at this time.But today when he arrived at his destination through the wind and snow, he was still far away when he saw a person standing under the imposing building.

The scarf covered the small half of Yamabuki Sakura's face. She was wearing soft cotton gloves, and she was carrying a bulging paper bag, which contained no idea what was in it.

Jiang Gu Ling just glanced at it.Compared to this, he obviously paid more attention to the girl's red cheeks from the wind.

The two greeted each other in the wind and snow, Jiang Gu Ling opened the door and turned on the central air conditioner, and went to the tea room to make her a cup of tea.Even though he was close at hand, he did not remove the water tank of the coffee machine.

The man was silent, and returned to the office with a cup of hot tea.

Taking off the outer windbreaker scarf, it is easy to find that he has changed into a new light gray suit today, with sharp lines and a high waist.He is still as handsome and handsome as ever, but he seems to have torn off the gentle mask of a big brother, showing his sharpness.

Sakura Yamabuki was a little bit cold, and she was holding a cup and sipping tea.Of course, she also noticed the senior's new clothes, and praised him sincerely.

Usually at times like this, two people can chat back and forth on this topic for a long time.But with just a few words today, the topic is over.

It's not this that falls to the bottom of the valley.

He absent-mindedly dealt with some unimportant trifles, and spared no effort to observe the movements of the girl behind him.

That's right, during the time period [9:00-9:36], the person who agreed to Sakura Yamabuki's invitation was "Toru Amuro".

At the beginning of this working time, she sent invitations to "Toru Amuro" and "Chuya Nakahara" at the same time.the reason is simple:

These two model workers were the first to go to work, and even if they made an appointment at this time, it would not cause them any trouble.

It is very suitable for Yamabuki Sakura, who counts every second on Valentine's Day.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, the body becomes warmer.Sakura Yamabuki stood up from the chair, and took out a box tied with a golden ribbon from the puffy bag.

——The light golden color is very similar to his hair color.

Looking at her from the corner of the eye, Jiang Guling smiled slightly.

"senior."

It wasn't until the girl walked behind him that Furutani stood up as if he didn't realize it, and responded to her softly: "What's wrong, Sakura."

He called the girl's name for the first time.

Cherry blossoms represent almost everything Furutani Rei holds dear.It is the flower that symbolizes this country, the cherry blossom emblem that blooms on the chests of countless colleagues and is watered and bloomed by justice.

It may be precisely because of this that when this so common word was uttered from his mouth, it brought a different kind of softness and melodiousness.

Everything seemed to fit just right.

Yamabuki Sakura didn't notice this, she handed the chocolate in her hand to Furutani Rei, and then bowed to the senior:

"This is for you, thank you for taking care of me all the time!"

Giri chocolate.

"So it's Giri chocolate."

"...It's okay," the young man's excitement and enthusiasm flowed from his body, Jiang Guling took the chocolate, and his eyes swept over the two bags on the table as if inadvertently.

It looks like they are all the same giri chocolate inside.

But if it's all Giri chocolate, the situation may not be so bad.And the one I got was also handmade.

Furutani Rei laughed again: "I accept it, Sakura, thank you for the chocolate."

He wouldn't change his name back to his last name anyway.

"I thank you." Yamabuki Sakura smiled at him, looked at the time, and began to put the scarf back again and again: "Then I will go first."

Jiang Gu Ling finally remembered the overly precise time schedule in the text message, weighed it up, and quickly made a decision: "...Where are you going? I'll drive you."

"How can I do that? Senior will be scolded if he finds out."

Sakura Yamabuki put on her scarf and gloves, and it was still snowing outside, but Sakura Yamabuki felt great when she saw Qukuli's new song that was glittering in her hand.

"I'll be back before the performance in the afternoon. Seniors don't have to worry, I've made arrangements." Yamabuki Sakura waved her hand and boarded the elevator, coming and going like the wind.

The system looked sympathetically at "Amuro Toru"'s high favorability, and thought, don't worry, she has indeed arranged quite well.

February 2, 14:9AM

After a few tram stops, Sakura Yamabuki arrived at the Armed Detective Agency on time.

Some people get Valentine's Day invitations that are accurate to the point simply because they follow the tram timetable. The time "9:36" was carefully calculated by Sakura Yamabuki, which not only avoided the rush hour, but also made it as early as possible.

Several staff members of the Armed Detective Agency have come, including Mr. Oda Sakunosuke whom Sakura Yamabuki was looking for.

The other party obviously didn't expect that she would rush over to deliver the chocolates, and when she took them, she was a little dazed and thanked her, obviously she was shocked.

Seeing that his favorability level has risen a lot, the system is furious, and can't wait to go out and shake his shoulder:

Be sober, her chocolates are all wholesale!

Oda Sakunosuke rarely received Giri chocolate.Neither the hitman industry nor the Mafia clearly have a workplace ethos of gifting chocolate, and Yokohama doesn't seem to be a trendy tradition.

Counting it all over again, this is actually very likely to be the first piece of chocolate he received on Valentine's Day.

"Mr. Oda doesn't like sweets?" Yamabuki Sakura misunderstood his silence, and suggested with a smile: "That's okay, you can take it with you when senior makes hot pot next time."

Put in a chocolate curry fondue.

"I don't have a sweet tooth," Oda Sakunosuke answered her seriously: "Thank you, I will keep it well."

System: ...Favorite?

Yamabuki Sakura has a lot of chocolate.After getting the song, she also gave chocolates to other staff who took care of her on weekdays, and everyone was very happy.

It was nearly 10 o'clock after the round was finished, and Osamu Dazai's seat was still empty.

But Sakura Yamabuki is counted!

She rummaged through the bag, took out a math exercise book from under a pile of chocolates with difficulty, carried the book and moved it to Kunikida Doppo, and asked expectantly: "Mr. Kunikida, Mr. Kunikida, may I sit next to it?"

Kunikida Doppo is a tall and straight young man. He is the same age as Dazai Osamu, but their personalities are very different.

Just from the meticulous suit and vest on his body, you can see his rigor, and his blond hair is neatly arranged.It is said that before joining the detective agency, he was a math teacher at Yokohama Public High School.

When she found out about this, Yamabuki Sakura thought it was a fateful encounter.

She feels that she is not stupid, at least she has a keen sense of people.Sometimes she would feel the killing intent from Mr. Dazai, especially when tutoring her in mathematics, the killing intent was particularly strong.

Yamabuki Sakura probably knew how this killing intent came about, and she felt guilty towards Dazai-sensei, and kept thinking of a solution.

It can be said that she has been thinking about Kunikida for a while now.

"Please sit down." Kunikida pulled out the chair for her, freeing up a small tabletop, and said without even hinting at Sakura Yamabuki: "You can ask me any questions you don't understand."

Kunikida heard that she wanted to call "teacher".His impression of Yamabuki Sakura is not bad, and his appearance is pleasing.It is very polite to use honorifics and honorifics when speaking. After the tutoring, you will bow again outside the door and then close the door. It is very polite.

When Kunikida was still teaching in middle school, he had never seen such a thoughtful child.

Such a good student, why did Osamu Dazai take over? !

Especially every time he watched Dazai teach her math, he was so murderous that he didn't know how to teach her, he wanted to get Dazai aside.

Tutoring people with their homework might really make them want to kill someone.But Kunikida Club, he is familiar with all the formulas and trigonometric functions!

Why not let him teach? !

Kunikida felt itchy.

He didn't expect to get the chocolate himself this time.Because he didn't have much contact with Yamabuki Sakura, let alone take care of him.When the other party handed over the chocolate respectfully, he was surprised, and then regretted that a good seedling was poached by someone who couldn't farm.

Now the two hit it off, and the homework was done quickly with the help of a famous teacher.The exercise book was flipping through, which was in stark contrast to the situation in the past when I sat down and sharpened pencils all morning.

The problem will be done, so happy.

Sakura Yamabuki finished the workbook homework happily, and didn't even want to leave after the chocolates were delivered.It wasn't until I couldn't catch the subway that I dragged on any longer, so I reluctantly bid farewell to my math teacher.

Dazai watched as she left, bowed to Kunikida, said goodbye, and then closed the door, feeling as if his things had been robbed.

"Kunikida, you're so cunning."

For the first time, Kunikida, who was satisfied and relaxed, ignored him and smiled.

Ridiculous power MAX, Dazai Osamu fell to the ground.

February 2, 14:10AM

Finding that Sakura Yamabuki arrived at exactly the same time as the appointment, Chuya Nakahara felt complicated.

Nakahara Chuya finally chose this time, because he felt that the end was close to noon, and maybe the two of them could have lunch together.Now it seems that she is very accurate in pinching the watch, maybe it will really end at 25 minutes by then.

Then there was another question that bothered him, who else had she seen in the morning.

In the time period Yamabuki Sakura gave him to choose, there was still a full 75 minutes in the middle.If they were all divided at intervals of half an hour, this time would be enough for her to see three people again!

... No, how could he think so.

Nakahara also let himself get rid of this outrageous idea, he knew what she did between 9:36 in the morning: handing out giri chocolates to the people in the entertainment department, everyone had them.

After hearing this, many mafia regretted not going to the entertainment department to clock in for work today.

The point of this matter is that all she gave away were Giri chocolates.So the natal chocolate should still be there.

After finishing his daily duties, Chuya Nakahara went to the entertainment department to ask about Sakura Yamabuki's itinerary in a refreshed manner. While talking, he glanced at the chocolate on Furutani Rei's table without leaving a trace: the packaging is exquisite, but the ribbon is yellow.

When Zhongyuan passed by Higuchi Ichiyo's office, he saw chocolates tied with ribbons of the same color.

So when Sakura Yamabuki took out the chocolate tied with a dark red ribbon, Nakahara looked at the distinctive ribbon, and there was only one thought left in his mind:

This is natal chocolate, yes.

Zhong also stared at the ribbon intently, and for a few seconds, he heard his own heartbeat clearly.

The turbulent happiness and joy slowly surged up, sweeping the world, filling every particle in the air.Even breathing becomes smooth and pleasant.

He felt a pure joy he had never felt before.

"22 years old", "mafia organization cadre", no matter which one has nothing to do with innocence, and he should not be like a boy like a boy who fell in love with JK who is younger than himself.

But Yamabuki Sakura is too bright.

She is always smiling, that kind of bright and pure smile does not need any sustenance or comfort, as if just existing is enough to be happy.There is always a happy and bright light in her eyes, which is not seen in the 15-year-old Lei Bojie, nor can she see it in her seven years of mafia career.

It is the sunlight falling from another world, enough to make him yearn for it.

Zhong Yuanzhong also lives very seriously, maybe too seriously.As a cyborg, he lives more like a human than the vast majority of human beings.

He looked at Yamabuki Sakura as if he was watching a dream.

A dream of stability, happiness, reunion... can be described with all the warm words in the world.

A distant dream.

"Thank you."

Sakura Yamabuki felt that the chocolate in her hand had finally been taken, and she felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she looked up.

Zhong Yuan is also looking at her.

Yamabuki Sakura looked at him for a few seconds without knowing why, and Nakahara smiled at her slightly.

This smile is different from the previous one, no matter how you look at it, there is a bit of lingering taste in it.

There was no other expression on Nakahara Chuya's face, nor any wavering, showing a kind of adult stability, as if something happened in these few minutes that Yamabuki Sakura didn't know.

"I accept this, I will wait for you." He raised the box of chocolates in his hand and strode out of the tea room.
