Chapter 18 (Beginning of the World + Skip)
"Sir, please take a seat, is it still the same dish today?" waiter waited for Tsuruga Ren and Izawa to take their seats, and then took out the menu and placed it in front of the two, as if he was familiar with them often.
"Well, two more eel rolls. Seeing Tsuruga looking at him, Izawa replied dryly, spreading the napkin on his thigh.
"Okay, you two, please wait a minute. ”
The waiter bent down slightly, then stepped back.
It's been two years since the last time Izawa cooked with his own hands. Fortunately, Tsuruga Ren appeared in time and managed to save the lives of dozens of goldfish from Izawa's hands, and at the same time saved the kitchen from being demolished. Since then, Tsuruga Ren has never dared to let Izawa near the kitchen. The two of them either ordered takeout or came to this restaurant to have a bite to eat, but they also had a comfortable time.
"Brother, are you free tonight?" Izawa held his chin in his hands and smiled brightly.
"There's another interview in the afternoon, and then there's supposed to be a break. Tsuruga replied despite her doubts.
"Remember to come back early. Izawa blinked, smiling in a tricky way, "There is a surprise." ”
Tsuruga Ren shook his head helplessly, he was used to the moths that Izawa made from time to time, and even Koichi said that Tsuruga Ren's forbearance of Izawa was already outrageous.
The dishes were served one by one, and the two of them ate quietly, chatting from time to time. Most of them were Izawa chattering, and Tsuruga would smile and nod her head and answer simply.
"Hey, Kokichi...... Well, I see, okay, see you in 10 minutes. Tsuruga put down the phone and said to Izawa, who was still eating salmon, "I still have a job, can you go home alone after eating?"
"Hmm. Izawa's mouth was full of food, so he waved his hand that grabbed the eel roll, meaning: Go, go, leave me alone.
Seeing that he was eating happily, Tsuruga Ren paid the bill and left in a low-key manner.
Seeing Lian's figure gradually disappear around the corner, Izawa reached out and grabbed the placket of his chest violently, spit out all the food in his mouth, bit his lip tightly, propped his right hand on the table, and leaned his head over and buried it inside. The silver-gray hair fell to his eyes, and the ends of his hair trembled slightly, but he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Breathe deeply, and then breathe hard, and the cardiovascular system is like being blocked by a boulder, suffocating and suffocating.
"Are you alright?"
Sensing that someone was pushing him, Izawa raised his head intently, the corners of his mouth still raised upward, but his face was extremely pale.
The blurred gaze focused again, and he saw the figure standing on the opposite side - his and Lian's common father, Hozu Shuhei
"You get along well with Lian. Hozu Shuhei sat opposite Izawa, in a well-made suit, with a majestic and solemn attitude, and a kind face, "Father is old, and I am much more relieved to see that the two of you can support each other." ”
Izawa nodded as he should, smiling brightly, "Of course, if you are here to see the scene of me and my brother falling in love, then you can also go back if you have achieved your goal." The matter abroad is not something that Uncle Gu can handle alone, can you rest assured?"
Regardless of Izawa's words in the smile, Hozu Shuhei's eyes flashed, but his mouth said gently, "When people are old, no matter how much energy they have, they are not as vigorous as young people." You also know that there are many things going on abroad, and I have been busy for most of my life. When Lian returned to Japan to enter the entertainment industry, I didn't agree. But I thought I could work harder, so I let him mess around. But now, it's time for him to take care of himself and come back to inherit the family business. ”
"That's a matter for you and your brother, and telling me won't solve the problem. Iza raised an eyebrow, shrugging helplessly.
"No, you can. As long as you persuade Lian, you will definitely be able to let him come back. Aren't you getting along very well? If I'm not mistaken, he's special to you than anyone else. In Hozu Shuhei's gentle tone, there was inexplicably more eagerness.
"It seems that you have put a lot of thought into us, and even if you are in a foreign country, you are quite clear about our affairs. That's right, I have a good relationship with Lian, and he takes good care of me. As you investigated, he's a competent older brother. The purpose you sent me here in the first place has been achieved, and he did what he should have done" Izawa picked up the red wine on the table and sipped it carefully, he closed his eyelids, and looked up and smiled for a while, "Except for liking me." ”
"What did you say?" said Hozu Shuhei frowned suspiciously.
"In a word, between me and his dreams, I can never be the first choice. If you want to use me to get my brother to give up, it won't work at all. Izawa put down the wine glass that he had drunk, his face was as white as white paper, and his smile seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, blurred, "I don't mind you taking advantage of me, but unfortunately, the result is not what you want." ”
Shuhei Hozu was not surprised, and his expression was still gentle and moderate. He stood up and patted the folds on his clothes, and smiled at Izawa, his tone was bound to win, "This game is not over yet, don't jump to conclusions too early." Someday, he'll do what I say. "You are also my son, since you have grown up, you should also go back and make some contributions to the family." ”
Without waiting for Izawa to answer, he turned and walked out of the restaurant.
Izawa lowered his head, bit his lip, frowned, and exhaled slowly. Slowly moving his body to a comfortable position and sitting, his head facing out of the window, did not say anything.
The unusual silence is not known if it is because of physical discomfort or because of Hozu Shuhei's words.
"Hey, I've found you! Hurry up and hand in the manuscript, the editor-in-chief is about to get angry because of your manuscript!" Onodera Ritsu blew into the dining room like a gust of wind, because he was too excited, and his voice was a little louder, but he still knew how to be in public, and did not call Izawa's name. "Hurry up, hurry up, why are you still in the mood to come out to eat, when is this happening! If you don't hand it over to the printing agency today, you and I will wait to be unemployed!"
Izawa's voice was faint, "What are you afraid of if you are unemployed, don't you have Takano to raise?" I think he will be happy to lock you in the house. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and hand in the manuscript!" said in an angry voice.
"Hey, don't shake me, don't you see that I'm pale and weak?"
In the past two years, you have been fooled by you for pretending to be sick countless times, do you think I will still believe it? If I don't deliver the manuscript, I won't leave today. ”
"Let me put the manuscript at the counter in the lobby of the office building, you can go and get it. ”
"Huh?"
"Eh, don't you see that I'm not feeling well today? I'm going to go home early to rest, it's rare to be an editor who is as ignorant as you. Takano usually spoils you too much. ”
"I don't need him to spoil you...... It's really uncomfortable, why don't I go with you to check it, your face is really bad. ”
"No, you can't be cured by going to the hospital. ”
"Huh!?"
"After eating and indigesting the stomach and intestines, are you sure you need to go to the hospital for this disease?"
“……”
"Okay, you go back, don't stop here and delay me from going back to take a nap. ”
After leaving Onodera Ritsu, Izawa walked out of the restaurant slowly, and instead of going home the same route, he turned into another street.
He didn't notice that Shuhei Hozu, who had already left, walked out of the corner not far away, staring obscurively at the direction where Ritsu Onodera had left, with a kind of understanding on his face.
There is no pharmacy near the Tsuruga Ren's apartment, so Izawa plans to buy some painkillers nearby, although it can't suppress the decay of the body, but it is good to relieve some pain.

Tsuruga Ren looked at the script in her hand, scanned the cast, and said to Koichi, who was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, "That doesn't break Shotaro to play the second male lead?"
"YES, AFTER HE SIGNED WITH AKATOKI, HE HAS BEEN ON CAMERA LATELY. The company specially trained him, and it can be seen that he has put a lot of effort into his acting skills. This time, the male number two, I heard that he took the initiative to ask for it, and finally won the opportunity. "Koichi deserves to be a gold agent, and any information can be blurted out. He took a sip of coffee to moisten his mouth, "That kid, I care about you very much." ”
Smiling noncommittally, Tsuruga Ren put the script in her bag, got up and walked over to open the door, "You don't care about me, you might as well care about acting." ”
Koichi looked at the closed door and shook his head with a smile.
Lotus is still the same persistent.

When I got home, the lights in the room were all on, and when I walked into the living room, I found Izawa squatting on the ground and didn't know what to do. When he turned around and saw Tsuruga Ren, he was obviously stunned, and then he stood up suddenly, pushed Tsuruga Ren out, and turned off the light again. Don't forget to say, "Don't come, close your eyes." ”
Tsuruga felt a vague light in the darkness getting closer and closer, and when she wanted to open her eyes, the person in front of her said happily, "It's okay." ”
Following the light, Izawa was holding a cake with five jagged candles on it, and the surface was ruined, and the cream pattern could not be seen.
Looking at the crooked "Happy Birthday" above, a smile was dyed in his Amber eyes.
Knowing Tsuruga Lian's thoughts, Izawa couldn't help but pout, and complained unwillingly: "It's not that you came back early, otherwise how could I not be able to put candles and write badly." ”
The faint candlelight softened the young man's clean cheeks, and the mischievous and happy eyebrows and eyes were all warm, and Tsuruga raised her hand to rub the young man's hair, which was soft and smooth, and felt quite good, and she was a little reluctant to leave.
"How do you want to do this?" took the cake in his hand and put it on the table, Tsuruga Ren smiled softly and softly, his eyes were no longer suspicious, and his body was shrouded in a soft and kind atmosphere...... Just like the archangels in the temple.
Is that all it done? No, it's not that simple.
"Did you drag the manuscript again or did you blow up the kitchen?" washed my pants or mistook my script announcement for a scrap of paper to fold an airplane?" Tsuruga Ren's every sentence was gentle and her expression was soft, but it always made people feel uneasy in their hearts.
Izawa blinked aggrievedly, "I just want to celebrate my brother's birthday." ”
"Oh?" Tsuruga raised her eyebrows, "When did Ozawa become so well-behaved?"
Izawa still looks obedient on the surface, but in his heart he secretly scolds: Your sister's! Let you toss! It's not easy to be well-behaved, and it is mistaken for a weak heart after doing something wrong!
Sure enough, being naughty or something is going to be punished!!
The author has something to say: Lotus~~~ It's too difficult to get it!
Because the plot needs it, the time to progress is a little fast, but it doesn't delay reading.
Rest assured, there will still be interaction between Izawa and Lian.
