Chapter 21 (Beginning of the World+skip)
Izawa shifted to lie on the couch, not caring about Tsuruga Ren's face when she saw the ravaged kitchen.
Tsuruga just glanced at the miserable kitchen a few times, rolled up her sleeves and bent down to clean up. The beige shirt and dark dark trousers have an inexplicable sense of disobedience in a messy kitchen. The busy figure is still as calm and elegant as on the set.
Within a few moments, the last rag was washed. Every piece of blackened tiles, greasy and stained kitchen utensils on the worktop, was cleaned as if it were new, shining brightly.
Tsuruga didn't go out, turned around and picked up the remaining ingredients that were set aside, picked them up one by one, opened the spice box again, and activated the switch.
This posture is actually to continue cooking.
Ize was lying down just in time to see Tsuruga Ren's perfect side face, and after a moment of surprise, he moved in, closing his gaze, and the corners of his lips curled into a faint mocking smile.
Before he came, Tsuruga didn't know how to cook at all. Now this gesture ...... Was it because of his dedication to cooking?
Spending time in places that have nothing to do with his dreams, is that what he likes?
This is really bothering him.
While Izawa was in a daze, Tsuruga Ren finished four dishes and one soup and a large plate of fresh fish sushi as quickly as possible. After putting all the plates on the table, he brought the plates, spoons, and chopsticks, and picked up two bowls of rice, and then said to Izawa, "Come and eat." β
I smelled the attractive aroma from a distance, and after a general glance, I didn't have to say anything about the color. While complaining about the unfairness, Ize prepared to get up and go to eat. Unexpectedly, my head was swollen, my limbs were weak, and I almost fell to the ground. After several attempts, he reluctantly stopped and lay back on the couch.
Facing Tsuruga Lian's searching gaze, he smiled and waved his hand: "Sure enough, people are old, and they don't want to move when they are on the side of the sofa." You eat first and leave me alone, and I'll sleep. β
The sharp pain in his body was also like joining in the fun, and he was unable to support his smile, so he could only bow his head and pretend to be asleep, and secretly grin to endure the pain of tearing.
Tsuruga looked at Izawa in silence, and for a long time, she walked over and leaned down and picked up the person. The movements are very light, as if they are deliberately controlling their strength. Let him sit on a cushioned chair, hand over the rice, and "eat." β
Izawa raised a big smile and was not polite, bowing his head and eating.
Faced with a dish full of flavor and color, Izawa's appetite increased. only let Tsuruga Lian say a word, and he didn't care about himself.
Seeing that Izawa only had food in his eyes and no brother, Tsuruga Ren was not annoyed. Picked up the bowl and put some seafood and mushroom soup in it, and sent it over, seeing that Izawa was drinking happily, the corners of his mouth and eyes were soft smiles.
"Wow, this soup is so delicious! Izawa was busy eating, trying to make time to say praise. He knew that Lian had worked hard for this, and what he could do was something good.
"Eat more if you like. Tsuruga Ren handed over another bowl, her eyes stopped on Izawa's delicate collarbone and frowned, she seemed to have lost weight recently. Picking up the chopsticks, I put the sashimi and tempura into Izawa's bowl, paused, and sandwiched another chopsticks of fresh fish sushi.
Izawa looked at the elegant appearance of Tsuruga Ren holding chopsticks and picking vegetables, and his brother, who thought about this in his heart, didn't know how many girls' hearts he had won.
For the dishes that Tsuruga Ren brought over, he took all the orders and ate them with a smile.
Tsuruga Ren only moved a few light dishes with chopsticks, and the rest of the time was almost busy feeding Izawa. On the surface, he was quiet, but in fact, he had a new evaluation of Izawa's meals. I secretly planned to make time to study more recipes in private, so that my brother could eat more.
After drinking the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, Izawa felt his round belly and leaned on the chair without moving. Tsuruga Ren diligently cleaned up the extremely clean dishes and chopsticks she ate, carried Izawa back to the room, and sat next to her, reaching out to rub her obviously bulging stomach, "Don't force yourself to eat too much in the future." β
In Tsuruga Ren's opinion, this kind of eating that is too much of the usual amount of food is just a way for Izawa to add some convincing power to his cooking skills.
"My brother's cooking is really delicious. Izawa smiled and enjoyed the exclusive service of the great god.
Because you are happy that you are cooking something for him for the first time?
β¦β¦ This guy.
The amber eyes were dyed with a layer of distress and pity, and the movements of the hands were a little softer.
"I don't hate being spoiled. In a harmonious atmosphere, Tsuruga suddenly spoke. "I like to hug Ozawa very much, and I like to be busy for Ozawa, and I want to be close to me in the future without any worries. β
Hearing Tsuruga Ren's cold words, Izawa thought hard for a long time before he realized that he was mistaking the reason why he was lying on the sofa and not moving just now for a cautious coquette???
There was no rebuttal, but he nodded happily, "Got it." β
Although he was misunderstood by Tsuruga Lian, the faint love in those deep eyes made Izawa not want to say anything more.
Izawa squinted his eyes comfortably, like a lazy cat, and fell asleep under the massage of Tsuruga Ren.
It wasn't until he breathed a long breath and rubbed it for more than ten minutes that his hands were sore. He pulled the thin quilt over Izawa, bent down and carefully straightened his silver hair, his face was gentle as it had never been shown in front of people.
Got up, and after a gentle kiss fell on Ize's forehead, he picked up his coat and opened the door, leaving the room.

"What? you're going to go back with Izawa, what are you kidding!" Koichi glared at Tsuruga Ren angrily, and exclaimed excitedly, "Don't you know how much your father wants to lead you back to inherit the family businessβ§?
Tsuruga Ren glanced at Koichi lightly, "Ozawa is my half-brother, and he is related to me. β
"That's not the point!" Yuichi interrupted him angrily, reaching out and grabbing his hair and pulling it back, with an angry expression, "Have you ever thought about the consequences? This is not a trip, it is likely that there will be no return, do you know? It's that kid, he messed up your plans." What the hell do you think? Huh?"
"The worst is to go back and take over the company......"
"Is that what you want? You broke up with your family and locked yourself in your room for two days and one night. At that time, I still remember how thick your red blood and dark circles were and how dangerous your love was. You're going to give up now because of that little bastard, Lian, I thought Ize was an unreliable person, but I didn't expect you to ...... Are you willing to do this, don't you regret it?"
Tsuruga Ren shook her head calmly, "No regrets." β
Koichi hurriedly took a deep breath, afraid that he would rush up and punch Tsuruga Ren or suddenly faint if he couldn't stand the stimulation, "Okay, let me ask you, is Izawa going back to die? Mr. Hozu was just taking him back to recuperate, not selling him. What can you do with the past? Ah? It's just a trap for him. Maybe Izawa won't thank you, but thinks you robbed him of something. β
Seeing Koichi's completely uncontrollable expression, Tsuruga Ren suddenly chuckled.
Koichi looked at Tsuruga Ren's disguised smile, and was a little stunned for a moment. It took a while to come back to his senses, "You ......"
"I've thought about what you said, Koichi, I know you mean well. But this time, I hope to go back with Ozawa. Not for him, just for myself. Knowing that Koichi didn't believe it, Tsuruga Ren smiled, looked at the sky outside the window, and her eyes were soft and gentle, "I have acted in many plays, good people, bad people, happy, confused, lost, helpless, happy, desperate, lonely...... But none of that is real, and I want to experience the feeling of having a family and relying on each other. This is the last attempt, and no matter how it ends, I'm ready to take it. He stopped to look at Koichi, and before he could speak, he said, "Who sues you and I will give up my dreams? β
Dumbfounded by Tsuruga Ren's words, Koichi pulled his tie disapprovingly, and turned his head to the side to calm down.
Not expecting Koichi to figure it out, Tsuruga Ren picked up the phone, "Hey, has it arrived?...... Okay, I'll go get it. β
Waving his hand at Koichi, he got up and walked to the door.
"Hey, Lian. Koichi asked sternly in the back, "Aren't you afraid that he will lie to you?" together with your father, in order to let you go back, he set up a bureau. With Mr. Hozu's determination not to give up for decades, he can do it to use Izawa to trick you back. That kid is not as simple as we think. β
The hand on the doorknob paused, "If all the likes in the past few years have been pretended by him, I don't blame him, at least I still have a lot of memories to cherish." Kochi, I won't lose my dreams, and I won't lose my ...... own heart. β

Not long after Tsuruga Ren turned to leave, Izawa opened his eyes, and he quickly lifted the quilt and sat up. The hand clenching his chest was blue, his face was as pale as snow, and beads of sweat the size of beans ran down his thin jaw and dripped on his already damp pants.
"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"
After a few breaths, he leaned against the wall and walked to the door and opened it.
Outside the door is Ritsu Onodera with wide eyes. Cuffed by a black shoulder bag with straps that had fallen to his arms, the scarf was open and one end was long enough to touch the ground, and the hair on his sideburns was messily branched out. His arms rested on the door frame, panting sharply.
Seeing his wolf appearance, Izawa smiled softly.
"Your eagerness is seen by Takaya, and I will be hated. β
Onodera Ritsu was already familiar with Izawa anymore, so he rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously: "Don't talk nonsense, will you take the initiative to hand in the manuscript if I don't come?" Hurry up, I have an appointment with the printing company until 5 o'clock, and there is still 1 hour." β
"The manuscript is on the table in my room, go get it yourself. Izawa leaned lazily against the wall, not wanting to move.
After taking out the manuscript from the room and going through it carefully, Onodera Ritsu asked in disbelief, "Why are you so diligent?"
Asking Izawa for a manuscript has always been the most painful experience in Ritsu Onodera's work, but he didn't expect it to be so light today, and he felt a sense of uncertainty about daydreaming.
"Isn't it a good thing for me to be diligent? Do you want me to procrastinate and then follow me like a puppy, snot and tears?" Izawa waved at him, and said impatiently, "Let's go, aren't you in a hurry?"
Onodera Ritsu didn't care about his attitude, after all, being able to get the manuscript was the happiest for him, and he couldn't care about anything else. "You know, this habit must be kept!"
Izawa lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Think beautifully, go back and tell SΓΉ Takano, next time I start, I won't submit any more manuscripts." As if thinking of something, he added, "I ask to terminate the contract, and I will find a lawyer to explain the details." β
"Why?" whispered in disbelief.
"I've had enough of it, I don't want to do it anymore. I suddenly realized that life was too short and I had more important things to do, and I didn't have any extra energy to waste on it. Izawa shrugged indifferently, pulled the door open, and smiled at Ritsu Onodera, who was still in shock, "That's why the last time will be cheaper for you kid." β
Without waiting for Ritsu Onodera to speak, he closed the door, washed his hands and ran.
Bending down, the hand gripping the edge of the toilet trembled gently. After a cough, he vomited out all the things he had eaten at noon and "vomited...... Ahem......"
After pressing the button and washing the filth down, there was a dry cough when I looked down.
The clear and transparent water was instantly stained red with blood, and a large area was shocking, and wisps of red were left along the white wall edge, outlining the bloody totem of crimson.
Clenching the placket of his chest, Izawa leaned his head on his arm, suppressing the increasingly violent stabbing pain in his chest, like being pounded by a boulder, and like a stinging sensation of being stuffed into his veins with a large amount of sand and ice, the pain made his brain blank for a while, and his senses seemed to be out of order.
For a long time, his legs fell to the ground with his legs sore and his back against the cold tiles. The slightly lowered head caused the silver bangs to slide down, blocking the expression on the face, only the shallow curvature of the corners of the mouth.
"It fucking hurts. β
The author has something to say: everyone said that they wanted Lian and others to find out about Izawa's condition...... But writing it, Li Shao feels that with Izawa's character, he won't let anyone know until he has to!
Lian has done too little for Izawa, does she really have to regret it until Izawa dies? Li Shao will try to condense the plot and strive for him to do less wrong things!
