Ize got up early in the morning, put the blood-stained carpet in the washing machine, and began to pack his clothes and supplies again.

Tsuruga had gone out long before he woke up, and breakfast was still on the table, apparently specially prepared for Izawa.

Izawa pulled his luggage to the door and turned back to clean all the pillboxes and bottles in the drawer.

I only heard a "bang" outside the house, crackling, as if something had fallen on the ground and shattered.

Izawa walked out to take a look, and it turned out that Dabai followed the fragrance to the table and saw the breakfast made by Tsuruga Ren. It was in Ize's house this morning, so no one fed it. Poor Dabai had never been hungry, and the pampered man decided to fend for himself, but he couldn't reach the food on the table even after trying hard for a long time, so he simply raised his head and bit the tablecloth, dragged all the plates, dishes and chopsticks to the ground, and lowered his head to eat fried eggs and bacon.

Seeing the mess on the ground, Izawa rubbed his forehead, squatted down helplessly, and rubbed his white head, "How do you know how to cause trouble for me, you idiot, just let my brother clean it up, anyway, they all hold a grudge and don't care about this, right?" ”

The moment he stood up, Izawa's face turned pale. He leaned against the wall, gasping sharply, "Looks like I'm going to leave right away, I'm going to die here if I stay any longer." ”

Gently kicked Da Bai who came over, pulled up the suitcase and opened the door, "Let's go, Da Bai, take good care of my brother." ”

When he stepped out of the elevator to the first floor, Izawa took out the buzzing phone and picked it up, "Hey...... Didn't the lawyer talk to you?...... No, I'm going on a trip and I don't have time to see you...... The manuscript fee should be regarded as a congratulatory gift for your marriage to Takano...... Ahem, I'm not interested in this, so I hung up...... It's okay, I have a cold...... I know, I know, well, since you think so much of me, see you in the old place. ”

Hire someone to send the luggage away, and Izawa takes a taxi to the café. After entering the door, Onodera Ritsu was already sitting by the window and waiting.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me. Izawa ordered a matcha and red bean toast, and Tsuruga Ren's breakfast was ruined, and he still hasn't eaten anything.

After not seeing Izawa for a while, Onodera Ritsu was surprised to find that Izawa seemed to be a lot haggard, and his face was white and scary. Recalling the cough on the phone just now, I couldn't help asking: "Your cold is so severe, have you gone to the hospital to see it? Have you had an injection? Have you taken your medicine on time? The weather has been getting cold recently, why do you wear such a little?" If you have a second cold, it will be more troublesome. ”

"You care about me so much, I'm not afraid that Takano will be jealous!" Izawa smiled evilly, "Be careful that I sue." ”

Onodera Ritsu's muscles bulged outward, and he felt that he was really looking for abuse when he cared about this non-human.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Izawa interjected as he toasted and asked idly, "Did Takano bully you? Kissed you without your consent?"

When it came to having an affair, Onodera Ritsu's muscles jumped, and Izawa nodded clearly......, "This is his fault, obviously he is already pregnant with a wife, how can he go outside to provoke some wild flowers and weeds?"

"Who's the wife!, who wants him to comfort you!" Ritsu Onodera slapped the table violently, attracting countless glances. However, he didn't notice when he was excited, and was still retorting, "I'm not rare about him, doesn't he have Mr. Yokozawa? What am I? I don't need him to be pitiful, and I won't cry with him like a girl, I can still live well by myself." ”

Realizing Izawa's meaningful smile, and then looking at the various eyes around him, Onodera Ritsu suddenly wilted, and lowered his head in embarrassment, "Why didn't you remind me?"

"How can I remind you? I'm a patient now, and my voice isn't as loud as yours, and I can't talk about you, so I have to wait for you to put out the fire yourself. Izawa said nonchalantly.

Onodera Ritsu was so angry that he almost went up and grabbed Izawa's neck and shook him vigorously to see how much bad water was in his head.

Izawa accepted it when he saw it, and naturally changed the topic, "By the way, you said that my brother came to you?

"Oh, yes. "As soon as Ritsu Onodera, who was born with a string, mentioned serious things, he immediately forgot about the experience of being teased "Your brother called me a few days ago, that is, after you said that you were going to terminate the contract. Your brother is very strange, how can he call and talk about such a big matter, at least meet and talk. ”

Izawa smiled inwardly, of course. "Well, and then what?"

"At that time, he said to me, you like to draw, and if you want to cancel the contract, you must be joking or something. He said that he would advise you to pay you compensation for missing manuscripts during this time. At that time, I thought you were joking like your brother said. Ritsu Onodera took a sip of coffee and continued with one hand on his chin, "Later, the editor-in-chief of Takano found out and asked to talk to you, but after talking to your brother on the phone, he changed his mind and said that he was giving you time to think about it. You can tell on the phone that your brother is busy, but he really cares about you. I am afraid that you will ruin your dreams because of a momentary impulse, and do everything possible to create opportunities for you and delay time. "I stopped here and thought about it, a little puzzled" But his voice is really familiar. ”

Is it a waste of time for something that is insignificant, and is it time to spend energy trying to please people in places that you can't see?

Izawa lowered his head, a sneer rising at the corner of his bloodless lips.

It's stupid.

"When you go back, you have to thank your brother. "Ritsu Onodera is also envious of Izawa.

"Chance, I've moved out of him. Izawa bit his fork and said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you that I want to go back to my family abroad to take over my father's business, and this afternoon's plane." ”

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier? Did your brother send you? Can you use me to help?" Onodera Ritsu's eyes widened, and he felt a kind of reluctance to feel sad after being surprised.

Izawa shook his head, "He didn't approve of me going back, so we had a falling out before we came out." ”

"Huh?

"Because in that kind of family, one person has to be sacrificed to bear the burden of the family. My brother has his own dreams, and I don't want him to give up years of hard work for me. In order to prevent Onodera Ritsu from informing Tsuruga Ren to stop him, Izawa plans to act a little more bloody, "My brother negotiated with the elders behind my back, and I know all about making compromises for me." There are indeed some things in the family that can force my brother and me to comply, so I have to protect my brother who has always taken care of me in my own way. ”

"Izawa......" Onodera Ritsu obviously didn't understand the complexity of the matter, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Izawa smiled indifferently, "You must want to say that this kind of thing needs to be solved by two people, maybe the effect will be better." Moreover, as an elder brother, you should always take care of your younger brother. But...... The evidence in their hands can threaten their brother to do things they don't like again and again, and is the brother able to endure it every time? For the brother who doesn't like to be restrained, this is the most painful thing. So only I can solve this matter, and my brother just needs to watch from the sidelines. ”

Onodera sat there at a loss, full of thoughts but not knowing what to say, and his face was flushed.

"Do you like Koya?"

"Huh?" The sudden interruption made Onodera Ritsu stunned, and it took a long time before turning his head awkwardly, "Who likes him! ”

"Colleague relations, you're lying to me. Izawa looked at him very firmly, raised his eyebrows and smiled slyly, "Is it popular to roll sheets among colleagues?"

"Ahh......h What nonsense are you talking about?!Who is suing...... Sue you!" Onodera Ritsu stammered, his eyes sparkling wide, and his face flushed suspiciously.

Izawa grinned and nodded his neck, "Sue me here." ”

Ritsu Onodera hurriedly pulled up the collar and muttered in a low voice, "Bastard, they all said don't kiss the neck, every time." ”

"Oh. Izawa nodded suddenly and smiled evilly, "Every time." ”

"Don't get me wrong!"

Eating the last piece of toast on the plate, Izawa stood up propped up in his chair and said to Ritsu Onodera, who was still tangled, before turning around, "Don't miss Takano." ”

When Onodera Ritsu heard this, he was slightly stunned. "Huh?"

"It's not easy to have someone you love and give him the love you want. If you can do it, don't skimp. Izawa's dark golden eyes glowed with a metallic sheen, and the smile on the corners of his lips was as cold as the moon. "Don't be like me. ”

Without giving him room to speak, he turned and walked out of the café.

It wasn't until he sat in the taxi that Izawa coughed violently. One after another, it was like the trachea was pulled and torn, and there was an illusion of crying blood.

"Are you alright, sir?" asked the driver cautiously.

Leaning back in his chair, Izawa closed his eyes and waved his hand.

"Seeing that you don't look big, let's go to the hospital with your family. Like that bastard kid in my family, he went out crazy when he caught a cold, and he had a high fever in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the child's mother finding out in time, I'm afraid it would have been bad. The driver looked very kind, probably because he saw that Izawa was about the same age as the son at home, so he said a few more words, "The young man is in good shape, but you still need to pay attention." Don't be like us when we're old, and we're getting sick. ”

Izawa nodded, opened his eyes and looked out the window.

"Uncle's son is playful and naughty, will he be angry with him?"

"Hehe, how not. But what can be done, it's always your own cub, you've been scolded and beaten or you're distressed, it doesn't matter if you make mistakes when you're young, you just know your mistakes and correct them in the future. How can there be any family members in the world who will pick grudges. ”

"Will it be forgiven no matter how long it takes?"

"It's not a long-term problem, as long as you admit your mistake to them and say sorry, no one will care about it anymore, and it will still be good for you. I said, young man, are you upsetting your family? Go back and talk about it, and anything can get through. ”

"Really?" Izawa curled a shallow arc on his lips, his voice fluttering, "but it's too late." ”

*

When Tsuruga returned home, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Standing in the living room, seeing the mess under the dining table, Tsuruga Lian's face was calm. After the silence, he walked over and crouched down, picking up the fragments of the dishes on the floor little by little.

Thinking that the boy got up in the morning and disdained the breakfast on the table, and closed the door without looking back, Tsuruga smiled bitterly.

Unintentionally paying attention to the sharpness of the fragments, the slender fingers were cut a small opening, and the blood oozing from them dripped to the ground alone. Tsuruga didn't stop the bleeding, just looked at her injured finger in a daze.

"Wang!" Perhaps it was Tsuruga Ren's gloomy figure that unsettled Dabai, who leaned over and rubbed his master's thigh, his thick tail slapping down as if comforting.

"You guy. Tsuruga Ren raised her hand to rub her white hair, but she paused and withdrew her hand because she thought of the young man's smile after being rubbed. His eyes fell on Da Bai, and he naturally found the hair stained by the food oil, "Let's go, I'll take you to wash." ”

After putting hot water in the bathroom, Tsuruga reached out and picked up Dabai, revealing her light pink belly, and the hair around her was also snow-white. However, the gaze was downward—the hair on the right side of the body was a fist-sized dark red, which stood out from the white hair.

Tsuruga Lian reached over and touched it, her amber eyes suddenly shrank at this moment, this is - blood!

He remembered that Da Bai followed Izawa into the room yesterday and didn't leave until he went out in the morning. A careful examination of Dabai's whole body revealed no wounds. Then there is only one explanation for this bloodstain - Izawa is injured!

Thinking of this possibility, he ignored Dabai, who was still squatting in the bathtub, and turned around and ran to Izawa's room.

The quilt was neatly stacked on the bed, and everything was neat, but the carpet had just been washed. He remembered that the rug was bought by two people on Christmas Day, one blue and one beige. The day before yesterday, Dabai knocked over the dog food on it, and he deliberately replaced it with the beige one, but today the one on top is blue...... Izawa must have something to hide from him.

Thinking of Izawa's unusual demeanor last night, Tsuruga Ren frowned.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he got up and rummaged around the room. When he opened the drawer under the head of the bed, his face suddenly turned pale. Huge piles of analgesics, bottles and cans are placed together. Pick one up and look at it, it's empty.

Silence, suffocating silence.

Tsuruga looked at each pillbox expressionlessly, but her hands trembled.

After finally emptying the drawer, he threw down the pill box and rushed out the door.

Is that why you made up your mind? Ozawa.

The author has something to say: the second is fresher ~~

It seems that there is one last chapter, and Ozawa will leave this world gorgeously.

Do you still want to go outside? Lian and others have feelings about Ozawa's death ~~
