＊Blessings

For a moment, I wanted to sit on the clouds, and I was fascinated by a kind but distant voice, and that gentle back seemed to never turn around... Knowing that many things are always in such a fog, Even if I try my best, it will be nothing, so what can fill this gap... I am born lonely, and I have no way not to reject the purity and filth of every worldly body.

———————— Akashi Seijuro

Sometimes Akashi Seijuro would feel very puzzled: Why are two people suddenly together?The two employees, who usually don't think anything of it, announced their engagement next week with their hands clasped one fine morning.

As the boss, Akashi Seijuro looked at another couple of newcomers in the company and couldn't help but lean back in the chair and think seriously.In fact, this question seems a bit superfluous, but as a person with almost zero love experience, this is indeed a question that cannot be deeper.

Yeah, why are two people together?In order to make the problem look simpler, let's temporarily remove the word "suddenly".

To say that people communicate with each other, live together, and finally conclude an eternal relationship must be due to some reason. The reason may be that the two parties have similar personalities, have certain common interests, can carry out ideological exchanges, or are well-matched. The background is similar, and in the long run it is possible to live forever.Of course, there are more reasons, such as "I just like his face", "I just like to listen to him talk", "I just like his hands", "I just like to sleep with him"... These are "vulgar" ", although Akashi has thought about it, he never thinks that it is the main reason why one person likes another.

Regarding the analysis of the pair in the company, Akashi specially transferred the information of the two of them.

Yuji Kamijou, a member of the company's editorial department, has only one grandmother who raised him at home. His usual hobbies are cooking, playing games, watching DV, and taking care of children. His specialty is cooking.

Reiko Kusama, the deputy director of the company's publicity department, has a small company at home, her mother is a doctor, and she has two older brothers, one is a university teacher and the other is a policeman. She usually likes to travel and go shopping. of emergencies.

Akashi pushed the documents on the table a little, and pinched his chin again with one hand, "So why does a person fall in love with a person?" Even if the family is wrong, even if the personality and hobbies are completely different, they can still leave together.Why?

Some human emotions are indeed difficult to understand, but as long as he can understand the most basic, it will be fine.Like he knows he loves red ginger and hates wakame and coriander.

Akashi closed the file, today he wanted to go back early because it was snowing.In the face of rainy and snowy traffic, no one is privileged, and if he doesn't go back sooner, Seitaro will starve to death.Hey, speaking of that cat, it's really useless, and it's also very edible. I don't know what the purpose of Heizi giving it to him was!

Akashi's house is in the villa area next to the mountain. There is also a natural lake in that area. A bridge is built on the lake. It is said that this bridge was designed by a Chinese designer at that time, so it looks very Chinese.Although it was snowing, Akashi saw the bridge on the lake from a distance. The long bridge was independent, accompanied by white snow, and a water bird in the middle of the lake. Such a scene, Akashi suddenly felt sour, and he vaguely remembered A poem about a story about a bridge:

Remnant snow on the broken bridge, people across the water, once drunk in the spring season... so heavy that I woke up from my dream, took a photo in the spring, and was shocked to see Huafa.But when he returned with a smile, Shi Laoyun was in the wild, and his life experience was floating.Close the door and live in the green hills, the self-conceit and the singing window are clear...

"Maybe I will be alone forever. No one is willing to take the trouble to walk in me, and I don't want others to walk in easily.... Oh, why am I so awkward! But if you can walk in me easily Yes, then what is special about him to me!" Akashi slowed down and drove slowly across the bridge.Most of the people living in this area are leisurely people, so I often see some people basking in the sun at their doorstep, and when Akashi passes by, they will say hello kindly.This time was no exception, although Akashi was still in the car, he heard the greetings from the neighbors.

As if his heart was suddenly touched, Akashi suddenly changed his mind at the moment when he put down the steering wheel and was about to open the door, negating the idea all the way, he bowed his head in silence for a while, then raised his head again, and let out a breath towards the car window, "If possible, I hope that person will show up, or if he shows up, can you tell me that I really need him..."

Akashi smiled and closed the car door, maybe he can only wait now, although waiting is not enough, but at least he knows the direction.

Seitaro was already waiting at the door when he entered, the cat was already fat enough to cover the entire doorway when lying down, Akashi stepped over him helplessly.

Seitaro seemed to know that he had been "humiliated", so he let out a dissatisfied "meow", "meow", again.

Akashi walked into the kitchen, searched for cat food for a while, and suddenly remembered a very important thing, Kuroko reminded him to buy cat food for Seitaro two days ago.

"Meow~"

"Blackie, I'm sorry, I forgot to buy your cat food." Akashi bent down and teased Seitaro.

Yes, he wouldn't call this cat whose body is mainly black and white, Seitaro!This is obviously the bad taste of Kuroko, and the name "Little Black" is really worthy of the name, Akashi promises.

"Meow~~~" The sound behind it was very long, and Akashi seemed to think that it understood his words.

"Then you can eat with me, how about I make porridge and give you a plate of dried fish?" Akashi poked Seitaro's nose.

"Meow meow meow~" Visibly excited, he even sat up immediately and licked Akashi's hand.

Akashi was amused, it seems that this guy really understands, but shouldn't cats be arrogant and dismissive of everything?Maybe it's a fake cat.

My heart became happy again. Even if I was alone, I was accompanied by a cat. Even if it couldn’t understand human words, it would still respond, much better than some humanoid dolls.

Akashi's porridge cooking skills are far less good than Kuroko's, although that guy used to only cook boiled eggs.According to Heizi's method, boil the water, put the beans in the water and soak for half an hour, wait for the water to boil, pour in the rice according to the proportion, the water can be more than the rice, then put in the beans, cover the lid, wait until Steam top and open the lid three times.It is probably ready to eat, and Akashi is not satisfied after trying it all.

Seitaro has been squatting at the door of the kitchen, as if Akashi would really give him dried fish, just like human beings, they are often full of expectations for what they eagerly hope for, but they are often always disappointed. Some people may no longer look forward to it, but Some people still believe it.

Akashi let the cooked porridge cool before giving it to Seitaro. The cat's tongue is always picky, which seems to be a bit like him.

Indeed, Akashi has a picky tongue, and Kuroko had said that before, and Akashi recalled their previous conversation on this topic.

"Akashi-kun is really picky."

"Ah, okay"

"I really have no self-awareness at all."

"What do you say?"

"Like you don't eat wakame"

"Because it's too fishy, ​​you know, all the plants in the sea are like that"

"So you hate everything with 'sea' in it?"

"It can be said, but not all"

"You also hate shallots, but they are a must in almost every dish."

"Scallions smell so pungent, like garlic"

"You still hate garlic?"

"Yes."

"You hate coriander too!"

"Don't you hate cilantro?"

"I like it, thank you."

"Ah, you actually like coriander? Can't tell!"

“The cilantro is delicious”

"Uh, I can't agree, don't you think it smells like bedbugs?"

"What are bedbugs?"

"Oh, it's a stinky fart"

"really weird!"

"what?"

"You know something like bedbugs!"

"You're the one who's weird, okay! You actually like coriander!"

"You are strange!"

"You are strange!"

"you!"

"Akashi-kun is so picky" Akashi heard Kuroko's last words

"Did I really misunderstand the coriander?" Akashi murmured.

Although he and Kuroko have different views on coriander, Akashi feels that sometimes he must have a spirit of seeking knowledge.It’s strange to say, for coriander, most people think it’s delicious in the world, but some people think it can’t be avoided. Why is there such a big difference?Akashi turned on the computer.

What Wikipedia told him was that coriander is also called coriander. About 1/7 of the people in the world hate coriander. In fact, it is not because of their "hypocritical" or "picky" factors (Akashi nodded), but because of a kind of The genetic variation called Swp, because people who hate coriander have a specific gene called OR6A2, so the dislike of coriander is a genetic problem.

Akashi suddenly realized that at this moment, he wanted to tell Kuroko immediately about the new "continent" he had discovered, as if he was defending himself.

"Beep, beep," the call was connected a few seconds later, Akashi's excitement did not diminish at all, and he seemed to blurt out immediately, but a strange voice came from the other side of the phone: "Hello..." With Obviously lazy, hoarse, low-pitched, as if extremely tired.

"Black, son?..." Akashi asked tentatively

"Oh, it's Akashi-kun." The voice over there obviously recovered, and the tone was much clearer, and Akashi finally confirmed that it was Kuroko.

"can I help you?"

"Oh, it's about," Akashi recalled his previous excitement, but just as he was about to say, he heard Kuroko suddenly make a high-pitched voice: "Hiss, lightly... um... ah..."

This voice was different from before, and Akashi suddenly felt a feeling of blushing and heartbeat.

The phone was hung up hastily.

Akashi Seijuro suffered from insomnia almost all night, and the "□□ sound" that shocked him seemed to be played in a loop in his mind every moment. Although there were only a few pronunciations, the connection was like recalling a pornographic movie .

Akashi had to admit that he had been thinking about sex all night, and the protagonist was his partner, Kuroko Tetsuya, whom he had been thinking about for a long time and who was really hard to classify.

"He, unexpectedly... If that's the case, then who is that person who did it with him?" He couldn't imagine it at all.In his impression, Heizi has always been gentle, gentle and polite to others. Although he is thin, he has always had a strong temper, and he will definitely do what he believes in. He is an extremely upright and excellent young man.However, that guy actually has a dark belly sometimes. Although he has a pure face, he will complain in a serious manner, and sometimes even talk back to him... "Ah, that guy has been a bit arrogant recently." Akashi thought Thinking about it suddenly felt a little lost.

"So, who is the person with Kuroko?" Akashi Seijuro was angry. This feeling was like a flower that he had been taking care of for a long time, but was eaten by a cow when it was about to bloom.So can he not be angry!However, he didn't even know who that "cow" was, and he didn't know what qualifications he had to blame that "cow".

Akashi felt that he was not insomnia, but crazy.For the past few days, his mind has been filled with Heizi, and what impressed him the most and troubled him the most was Heizi's voice.This is a storm of memories caused by a voice.

When I met Heizi for the first time, "Hello, I'm Tetsuya Heizi." That voice was obviously green and even had some baby teeth.

When Heizi was training, "Ha...ha..." He was very tired but persevered. "Haah~..." It's a bit tempting, but why didn't he notice it before?Akashi squeezed his chin.

By the way, there is also the sound of Heizi crying, it was the night they won the junior high school triple champion.He saw Kuroko's tear-stained face, and the low sobbing sound seemed to be amplified in his ears, and Akashi's heart twitched again.He sighed.

They had very little contact after high school, but after going to college because they were in the same university, they knew almost everything and talked about everything.

The sound of Heizi eating, the sound of taking a bath, the sound of Heizi sleeping, by the way, that guy actually snores...

After graduation, everyone seemed to be getting busier. Of course Akashi joined his own company, and Kuroko started working in a publishing house. He was a writer and editor, and now he is more focused on writers.

There are very few opportunities for them to meet each other, but there is no shortage of phone calls on weekdays.As for the voice, it is some mutual greetings, caring, and mutual encouragement at work.

Once, he accidentally mentioned on the phone, "Heizi, why do I feel empty every time I go home? This feeling is really bad." He said with a smile.A few days later, he received a cardboard box at the company. When he opened it, it was a cat, which looked a bit like someone, especially the eyes. It is said that a cat with heterochromatic pupils will bring luck and auspiciousness.

When Heizi told him that the cat was called "Shengtaro", his first reaction was: Refutation!He would not let a cat kick his nose on his face, and the right to name the cat should belong to him.He began to call "Zhengtaro" "Xiaohei" privately, and in the future, if anyone came to visit the house, he would introduce the cat as "Xiaohei", so "Zhengtaro" was Heizi's name alone.

"Yeah, Kuroko, only you can call it "Shengtaro".... I am a person who is used to look up to, but I can allow you to look at me, or even look down on me. I, have always been high ...that's why I'm so lonely."

"So, you must not go to other people, don't be intimate with others, don't do that kind of thing with others, don't be anyone else except me." He Akashi felt extremely painful, although his thoughts were indeed a bit selfish to Kuroko , but he really hoped so.

But, what right does he have to ask Heizi like this?

"Do I like Kuroko?" Akashi finally asked himself this serious question.

However, what is like?He still has no answer to this question.But according to the present, what he can be sure of is: he has become obsessed with Heizi's voice.

Akashi Seijuro has never had any expectations for something as far away as "love". He has seen a lot of separation and reunion in reality, and because of his family background, there are a few people who can say "like" to him Is it true?He didn't want to doubt, so he didn't have expectations. Over time, he also forgot what it was like to really like someone.

Akashi feels powerless because of this uncertainty, and there is another thing that bothers him: Even if he likes Kuroko, will Kuroko like him?Likes should be mutual, and both of them are boys. ...

Akashi picked up his notebook and wrote down a paragraph:

For a moment, I wanted to sit on the clouds, and I was fascinated by a kind but distant voice, and that gentle back seemed to never turn around... Knowing that many things are always in such a fog, Even if I try my best, it will be nothing, so what can fill this gap... I am born lonely, and I have no way not to reject the purity and filth of every worldly body.

Akashi had a dream, which seemed to be from his childhood.At that time, my mother was still there, and the family ate together. The feeling was very stable and happy, and it would not be taken away by anyone.However, halfway through eating, he found that there was coriander in his bowl. It was coriander, the thing he hated the most.But my mother said, it won't be too unpalatable, and many people who don't like coriander will put it in a bowl as a condiment, so don't mind too much.

Akashi woke up feeling a little nauseous.But in fact, this disgusting feeling is not so strong, maybe it is just a psychological factor.Speaking of which, why do I hate coriander?Some people say that cilantro has a soapy smell, while he thinks it has a "stinkbug" smell.In fact, he didn't know how bad the smell of bedbugs was. Thinking about this cognition carefully, it was because he saw a bedbug crawling on a coriander leaf when he was playing on the farm when he was a child.From then on, when Akashi saw coriander, he thought of bedbugs.

Akashi thought, maybe it was just a psychological influence, maybe he did have a misunderstanding about coriander, and it had nothing to do with genes or anything.

When Akashi saw Kuroko again, he was at the door of a cafe. He resisted a little while avoiding it, but he still walked up to him and greeted him.

"Hi, Heizi, long time no see."

"Oh, Akashi-kun, yes, long time no see. By the way, have you been busy recently?"

"Well, it's alright."

"However, I called you several times, but you didn't answer." Akashi admitted that since he heard Kuroko's "□□" on the phone last time, he did have a "shadow", and he was not sure if he would hear it again. In the end, will he make some terrible moves.

Akashi remained silent and didn't answer, even though he really wanted to ask Kuroko about it, but he didn't know how to ask?

"Akashi-kun is really strange."

Akashi turned his head to answer the phone, pretending he didn't hear anything.

"Forget it." Heizi shook his head, "By the way, I haven't seen Seitaro for a long time. Is it okay?"

Akashi just hung up the phone and replied: "Speaking of which, its situation is not optimistic."

"Hey, what do you say?"

"I was very worried that he might break a bone or something because he was overweight"

"Uh... Akashi-kun is not gluttonous at all."

"I'm not it," Akashi retorted, and then said, "By the way, I've always called it Xiao Hei, so maybe the cat has heard me call it that, so that's why it became like this." Akashi smiled.

"Then I'll go and see him next time." Heizi said easily.

"...Okay." Akashi hesitated a little.

Kuroko came to Akashi's house on Christmas Eve. Although Akashi's birthday had passed, he brought a piece of fruit cake to show that he could not appear at Akashi's birthday party due to work.

Because of the festival, almost every family has decorated the house well, which has a dreamy feeling.In order not to look too alien, Akashi also put a Christmas tree at home, with bells and lanterns hanging on it, which turned out to be quite similar.

Kuroko and Akashi ate cake under the Christmas tree, while Seitaro licked his newly bought cat food, the atmosphere was warm.

"But Heizi, where is the gift?"

"Ah?" Heizi thought for a while, "Could it be that Akashi-kun is still the kind of person who believes that there will be gifts from the grandfather on Christmas Eve?"

Akashi was angry, I really don't know if Kuroko was doing it on purpose, "I mean a birthday present!"

"Oh." Kuroko smiled and looked at Akashi.

Inexplicably, being looked at like this, Akashi felt a little embarrassed, and then seemed to be uncontrollably excited.

"happy birthday to you,

happy birthday to you,

happy birthday to you,

......"

The first time Akashi heard Kuroko sing, it was a birthday song for himself.

The sound was like a feather passing through his heart gently, the sound was like sake engulfing his sensitive sense of smell, how could he feel so warm and happy...

"I'm really in love with Heizi, I'm not only obsessed with his voice." The reminder repeated in his consciousness over and over again, this feeling was so real and profound that he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Akashi-kun?" Heizi seemed surprised, but showed more tenderness and concern.

"I love you" Akashi said

"...Huh?" Heizi blinked.

"I like you, so I hope you can be with me forever, I hope you don't go to see other people in the future, I hope you just have me." He said three wishes in one breath, he thought Say what you think in one breath.He wasn't sure about this liking before, but once he was sure, he hoped he could hold onto it firmly.

"..." Heizi seemed to be really surprised, and stood there with his mouth wide open, but that was all.He didn't resist strongly, which means there is still hope for all of this, Akashi thought.

Kuroko staggered out of Akashi's house, seeing his appearance, Akashi was very worried about his safety on the road, so he sent him from home to the road on the other side of the bridge, and called a taxi After watching him get in the car, he turned and left.When leaving, Akashi told Kuroko that he will wait for Kuroko's answer, he will not ask Kuroko to do something right away, but he will wait, he has that patience.

After seeing off Kuroko, Akashi walked home slowly. On the other side of the water was the lights of Wanjia. He was walking alone on the bridge. Maybe it will snow tomorrow, or maybe he will see the lights when he wakes up early in the morning. This kind of long bridge is independent, accompanied by white snow, and the scenery of a flying bird in the middle of the lake.However, he never felt alone again.

The future long bridges will never be lonely again.

It was two weeks after Christmas that Kuroko officially moved into Akashi's house, and it was more natural than unexpected.Kuroko is the same as Akashi.

The two began to live together, and then confirmed their relationship until a long time later, they spent a lot of effort to get a pair of rings and a paper certificate. All this is really natural and natural.

Akashi Seijuro is extremely happy now.Because he found that after being with Heizi, he was being healed all the time from body to mind every day.

Because Heizi completely gave up his job as an editor, he spent more time at home.

Every day when Akashi came home from get off work, he would see Kuroko cooking porridge in the kitchen, it was so delicious.But he also shakes his head when he sees a cat and a dog confront each other over a small dried fish.By the way, why do dogs like dried fish?Could it be that this is a fake dog?

"Akashi-kun, eat lean meat porridge today."

"Oh, I like it."

"I put green onions"

"Huh?" Akashi pouted.

"Because it can remove the fishy smell"

"Oh, so"

"I also put coriander!" Heizi, are you sure it's not a prank?

"What!" Akashi rushed into the kitchen.

"Because...it's ok, mention, taste..." A black-bellied guy was kissed so darkly next.

Lean meat porridge was put aside, No. [-] stared at his master being carried into the room, but he was powerless, and Seitaro took the opportunity to swallow the dried fish in one gulp.

"Akashi, sir, let's eat first."

"no"

"Um, I just ate coriander"

"I do not mind……"

"Um, I also ate garlic..."

"Yeah, I heard..."

"what……"

Sometimes Akashi Seijuro feels that he doesn't hate coriander that much, and even likes it.

Not long after, Akashi wrote another sentence in his notebook, this time he wrote it with a sense of happiness:

It may only be a moment to like someone, but it takes a process to make sure that you like someone.I thought my liking started from being obsessed with his voice, but in fact, I started to like him a long time ago. What I like is not his voice, but his whole person.Maybe the process will be very long. For some people, it is like starting to eat coriander, but I hope everyone is willing to try it, and I also wish that everyone in this world can be with the person they like.

———————————— Akashi Seijuro

Small episode:

: Could you please interview Mr. Heizi?

: Oh, yes. (gentle)

: Cough, may I ask, uh, I'm not gossip, but I just want to ask what you were doing that night?

: What night is it?

: Is that the night Akashi-kun called you?And you're making that, (ummmm) sound.

: Oh, I had my nails pulled out in the hospital that day, because my toes got inflamed and eventually developed into paronychia.

:...

"That's right." (Unexpectedly, a certain Chi would also eavesdrop).
