Chapter 20 (The Beginning of the World+skip)
When Izawa came home, he bought a lot of cooking materials and painkillers, put away all the painkillers and the like, and hid them, the phone in his pocket "buzzed", and he walked to the kitchen with the ingredients, and lazily picked up the phone, "I know, I didn't forget it, it's just a column, there's nothing to worry about...... The manuscript I submitted last time, is it a good seller?...... Maybe it's because I'm not sober lately, and I want to change my style, you don't care what I do, and I didn't ask you to buy it...... I know it, it's really verbose, don't say it so strictly, it's not so bad that I want to lose my job...... I'm not free or inspired today...... It's not the first day with me, so let's do it, I'm still busy. β
Hang up the phone and drop it next to the sink in the bathroom. After washing his hands, for convenience, Ize opened the bag and took out the vegetables inside, washed them carefully and carefully, and muttered in his mouth: "Na, although I know that I am not a cooking material, but for the sake of me studying so hard for so long, you must eat, this is the last time I enter the kitchen, and in the future, you will not have to eat if you want." β
What Izawa didn't know was that Tsuruga Ren was not working at the moment, but sitting in the cafΓ© in Fangcai, chatting with Shuhei Hozu.
It's better to say it's a chat, but it's better to describe it as a negotiation, the two people are peaceful on the surface, but the atmosphere around them is extremely weird and tense.
"Have you looked for Ozawa?" said in an incomparably affirmative tone, and his calm and deep eyes precipitated a little displeasure.
Hozu Shuhei didn't answer, and skillfully chose to avoid the serious, "Izawa has not been in good health since he was a child, I am very worried about him coming out this time, although there is no major illness, but the bottom of his body is too weak, I am afraid that he will get sick if he stays out for a long time." You usually don't care about him when you're busy, you quietly push away a lot of activities and scripts from him, and even the opportunity to go to the United States to cooperate recently has changed hands, which will have a great impact on your acting path. Didn't you always say that dreams are the most important thing? I took him back this time, firstly, to recuperate his body, and secondly, it was also time for him to familiarize himself with the company and make some preparations for accepting the family business. β
Tsuruga Lian frowned slightly, raised her eyes, a pair of rich and quiet amber pupils, a deep and calm but turbulent wave, "I won't let Ozawa go with you." β
"He's already agreed," Hozu Shuhei smiled triumphantly, "If you don't believe it, you can call to be sure." β

Izawa was busy in the kitchen when there was a sharp knock on the door. However, the frying sound was too loud, and Izawa didn't pay attention to the movement outside, and finally the person outside took out the key and opened the door by himself.
Izawa was holding a raw egg, thinking about whether to fry it whole or cut it with a kitchen knife, and blinked suspiciously as he watched Koichi rush in.
"Boy, can you settle down and don't get into trouble for Ren every time!" Koichi felt that his character was so good that no matter how angry he was, he couldn't say anything hurtful. However, since Izawa moved in, the conflict between him and Lian has always existed, although every time it was rationally suppressed by the two of them, but the resentment that accumulated together is not that there is no one, and now is the moment of outbreak, "I see that you are not Lian's younger brother, it is an undercover agent sent by Lian's opponent, and you can't help anything every day, so you know that you are causing chaos." β
Izawa tilted his head, not understanding what Koichi meant. But in the blink of an eye, he laughed and nodded as he should, "Mmmm, you're right, keep going." β
Koichi was amused by Izawa's reflection, but then Yan sΓΉ got up, "Boy, you may not know how special Lotus is to you. In the past, he spent all his time on acting, and nothing could affect his feelings, but since you came, Lian has really changed a lot. I have no objection to him caring about people and not interfering in his life. As an agent who has been with him for so many years, I am very happy that he has someone around him who can take care of him. I admit that your presence has brought the lotus to life, but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Do you know how many opportunities Lian gave up for you to further your studies and improve yourself? Just like now, he knows that I am fighting for a very important cooperation project for him, but he is still worried about you, and insists that I come over and have a look at it immediately. If it weren't for him saying I wouldn't come, even if he signed the project, he wouldn't have participated, and I really didn't bother to care about you. If you still think of Lotus as an elder brother, then as a younger brother, please recognize your obligations and stop adding unnecessary obstacles to Lian, he and you are not members of the same world. β
"So?" asked Izawa, listening with relish, a smile on his lips.
"So I hope you'd better leave Lian, his future can't be ruined here, and don't do strange things again. Koichi's tone was rather stern, and his gaze glanced at the smoky kitchen several times.
"Rest assured, I'm not going to do that again. "There's no chance to do it again, Izawa shrugged his shoulders, but didn't say the last word, "What's more, Lian doesn't like it either, it's still secretly done behind his back." β
Koichi endured the twitching corners of his eyes, knowing that Ren didn't like it and ...... This kid.
Rubbing his forehead, a sense of helplessness welled up in his heart, "It's good that you have a sense of proportion, go and call Lian, he is worried about you." Ay...... What are you doing?"
Koichi took the egg thrown by Izawa and asked puzzled.
"You've told me so much, thank you gratefully. Come to think of it, it's been a long time since anyone talked to me. Izawa turned around and walked away a few steps, stopped and smiled and said, "Actually, looking at it now, it is a good choice for Lian to live with you in the future, and you should take care of each other." β
Xingyi frowned, and his helplessness became stronger, "What nonsense are you talking about again." β
"I like my brother, and I do these things to make him like me, which seems to me nothing to be selfish or embarrassed about. When I asked my father to let me come to Japan, I mainly wanted to meet my brother, but my plan to leave after meeting was dismissed after we actually met. I also wanted to try what it was like to live with my brother and experience the feeling that I had never been envious of. You are not an elder brother or me, you will not understand the feelings between us, to put it mildly, even if it is my brother's agent, I am not qualified to decide whether to stay with my younger brother's identity. However, you are right about one thing. A shallow smile overflowed at the corner of Izawa's mouth, still in an indifferent tone, "My brother and I are not from the same world, I can't make trouble for him forever, it's really a pity to think about it like this." β
Koichi's muscles flare, the corners of his mouth begin to twitch, and the uneasiness in his heart is covered by the gradually rising sullenness under Izawa's deliberate provocation.
Whatever makes him angry, say whatever makes him angry! That fleeting feeling of guilt just now must be an illusion!
"In the end, if I can't let you get your wish, will you be so angry that you explode?" Looking at Koichi Tieqing's face, Izawa raised his eyebrows and smiled when he saw it, "Why don't we make a bet." β
"What bet?"
"Just bet on whether the influence on my brother is still there after I am not by his side. If I lose, I'll give you the rights to my latest comics. β
Although Koichi didn't think he would be bored enough to really bet with him, he still replied, "What about winning?"
"The rights to the latest comics are sold to you. β
Damn! Koichi couldn't help but explode, he knew that this little bastard was not a thing!
"This is my last creation before I close the pen, and it is very collectible. It's impeccable to make movies and games, are you sure you don't want to?" Izawa turned his face sideways, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he teased Koichi with a bad heart, "You won't suffer a loss by making this bet, I can't bear to give you the last loss-making deal in my life, why don't you know how to cherish it?"
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Koichi felt that he really wasn't the same kind of creature as him.
"It's nothing, I just want to say, it's good to know my brother, and it's good to know you...... Very happy. That's good, even if I'm not ......" Izawa said this, and did not continue, but smiled and waved his hand at Koichi, "Uncle, let's go, aren't you going to fight for that project? Don't worry, I won't trouble my brother again. β
He could clearly feel that there was still a strange sense of estrangement between the two, and saying so much could not change his opinion of each other.
But despite this, the person in front of him can indeed take care of Lian and help Lian fulfill her wishes. Although Izawa doesn't care about Lian's affairs in the entertainment industry, as long as Lian can like him, he will still do all the hard work he should do.
That powerful brother who is silent and indifferent and is used to pretending to be really influenced by himself, and even go against his ideals?
Things are getting more and more interesting.
He wanted to see how far the man could see, how far he could go.
Anyway, before he left, he had tried all the ways to make Lian like him, and the rest was to sit and wait for his body to gradually die. Using this opportunity to go back with Hozu Shuhei can also inspire Lian's guilt towards him, maybe that's ...... He can get his hands on the Soul Shard.
In fact, when Koichi pried open the door and said this to him, Izawa determined the purpose of the previous conjecture - Shuhei Hozu. What the family needs is an heir, whether it is him or his brother, in short, one of them, it doesn't matter who this person is. If Ren likes Izawa, he will definitely go back for Izawa. If Ren is unmoved, then Izawa will definitely go with Hozu Shuhei for the sake of his brother and health.
No matter how this account is calculated, it is a sure way to make a profit.
Koichi was just about to go out when he happened to bump into Tsuruga Ren, who looked hurried.
"Eh, aren't you ......" Koichi remembered that on the phone, Tsuruga Ren was talking to someone, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to leave and call himself to see Izawa.
"Well, I'll be back when it's okay. Tsuruga looked at Izawa with a calm expression.
Koichi pursed his lips, knowing in his heart that Tsuruga Ren was worried about Izawa and rushed back.
I didn't stand at the door to be an eyesore, and I said to Tsuruga Lian, and Koichi closed the door and left.
Tsuruga looked at Izawa's eyes as usual, "Why do you want to do this?"
I didn't say that I was going to go back with Hozu Shuhei, but I still heard what Izawa said to Koichi, and I was asking about the bet.
It's just a simple sentence, but with a different seriousness than before.
Izawa was slightly stunned for a moment, how could he answer this question? Could it be that it was to get soul fragments that he traveled thousands of miles to please him? As long as he liked himself, even if it was for him, he was willing to die? Thinking about it, he knew that this kind of answer was impossible to say, so he casually made an excuse: "Doesn't my brother think I'm a trouble? It's better to be interesting to yourself before others hate me." β
Tsuruga Ren walked up to Izawa, an obscure love flashed in his indifferent eyes, he glanced at Izawa, and Izawa was still smiling heartlessly at him. This was the expression that Izawa usually showed on his face most often, but although his smile was bright at this time, it was as warm as the usual mildness on the surface of Tsuruga Ren. Against the backdrop of the white walls, the expressions of both of them were extremely harsh, but Izawa's was even more pale and bloodless.
Walking past Izawa, the voice drifted faintly.
"You're not. β
The author has something to say: Lian's character is really difficult to grasp...... But you can't just write about Ize, right?
It's the first time I've written about the great gods, and I'm not used to it!
If you want to ask if there is any dog blood in this article, there must be it, and Li Shao can't be so superb that he is out of the world...... However, I will try to write something interesting and different to satisfy everyone.
At last...... I've been wondering how Ozawa is going to die?
