You are like a star, shining brightly

If there is anything else that can barely support me to work calmly here, it should be that no one here knows about my crap.If it was at the headquarters, even if some people would secretly discuss it, Kanno, who had already divorced in a flash and was single again, would not feel frustrated by it.

He taught that talkative man a lesson and broke up with A Cai. If he hadn't been demoted, then everything would be nothing, and this matter would not become a black spot.But now that he, who had endured everything, was thrown into this dilapidated place, all the bad consequences became a shadow that Shen Ye couldn't erase.

In the end, because of the violence he committed, he was demoted and assigned here, and his life was bleak. This has become the secret he least wants to be known.

That's why when Shimizu said that sentence, Shenye was so shocked, because according to the meaning of that sentence, he should know the inside story, but he always got along with himself as if he didn't know at all.

"Shimizu, you... what are you talking about?"

He didn't want others to see his collapsed expression, but no matter how he tried to hide it, he couldn't control it. Kanno's distorted expression was quite ugly at the moment.

Gradually let go of his hands, grabbed the wrinkled collar and stroked it twice with Shimizu, then put on a relaxed look, and stood up hiding from Shen Ye's body.

"It's nothing, Mr. Kanno. But it's getting late, don't you want to go back?"

As if nothing had happened, Shimizu's eyes couldn't feel the shock of Kanno at all, but just regained his original calm and looked at the man who hadn't recovered from his senses.

"Oh, back... You've worked hard."

Qing Shui stood at the door, as if on purpose, just stood there and waited.Shen Ye started to pack his things absent-mindedly, and walked out with Qing Shui after a while.

But the depressed self followed the calm Qing Shui under such pressure that it made people panic. While constantly speculating whether the other party knew the truth, he also felt quite embarrassed.It's like a disaster when a tiring day ends like this.

The general convenience store is right between Shimizu and Kanno's house, but closer to Shimizu's house.Not knowing if the other party also wanted to buy dinner, Shenye walked in and looked around at the products that could already be recited, sighed and walked towards the fast food bento area.It's not that he can't eat instant noodles, but it's scary to eat them in the past few days, so if he doesn't eat it for dinner tonight, he will eat this kind of chewy bento.

"Mr. Kanno, don't you usually cook by yourself?"

Before he could touch the bento box, Shimizu behind him had already finished shopping for condiments and vegetables, as if he was a little surprised that he ate the bento.But there is nothing surprising about this. People who are not good at cooking usually have no other options.

"I can't cook, so I can only buy it all the time."

Shen Ye, who was not in good spirits, looked back at Shimizu who made him so uneasy, and then began to think about what he would eat tonight.

"Why don't you go to my place for dinner tonight? I also have dinner alone."

It sounded very sincere, Shimizu with a slight smile stood behind Kanno waiting for him to answer.

"Huh? Ah...Okay then, I'll go buy some beer."

It was a strange coincidence, but Shen Ye did not refuse.Even though he doesn't want to see Shimizu so much right now, and doesn't know how to face it, Kanno, who has already developed such an escape emotion, knows at the same time that it is useless to hide for any time.

Not as unprepared as last time, Kanno, who bought snacks and beer, followed Shimizu into Shimizu's house with a heavy heart.As soon as he entered, Qing Shui told him to sit down casually and cook dinner by himself.

Looking at the house, Kanno finally understood what he felt awkward when he came last time.Except for the living room and the necessary kitchen and toilet including the bathroom, everything else was covered with thick dust.Although there are stairs, it seems that no one has gone up there for a long time. Qing Shui minimizes the space needed for living. Rather than saying that he is the owner of this house, it is better to say that he is temporarily borrowing and may leave at any time. .

Noisy cooking sounds came from the kitchen, and Kano, who was very hard on this matter, smelled the aroma and felt that he hadn't been so hungry for a long time. At this moment, just sitting and waiting in a hungry state began to feel uncomfortable.

"Hey... I'm really upset."

Leaning against the cabinet by the wall, Kanno chose the side that would not be illuminated by the setting sun, and while sitting powerlessly, began to wonder whether Shimizu really knew about himself.But Shimizu, who has been working here, will not know about this unless he has acquaintances in the high-level headquarters.But on the other hand, if his acquaintances are at the headquarters, why not use the connections to bring him to Tokyo?

After a while, Shimizu brought the dinner and sat opposite Shenye.Looking at the few small dishes that are not rich but quite suitable for summer, the gloom in my heart is reduced a little.He admired that Qing Shui could make the dinner so formal and grand by himself, but what about himself?Kanno thought, if he didn't have a job, he would be nothing but a waste.

Pfft!

After opening the beer, Kanno held up the can to touch the water, then suddenly raised his head and drank half of it.

"Aha……"

The bouncing bubbles stimulated the mouth and throat, and by the way, the brain became a lot smoother. Kanno chewed the vegetables in his mouth, raised his head and began to speak.

"You guys are really the max of the □□ attribute. If you are so good at cooking, I don't know how happy the girl who marries you will be. By the way, have you ever thought about getting married?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. After all, I have nothing, not even a way to meet girls, so it may be difficult to get married."

Looking at Shimizu who was eating seriously, he put the chopsticks into his mouth, holding the bowl and moving his jaw to chew the food.

"Marriage is not all a good thing...Although Ah Cai also cooked for me at the beginning, it was pretty good at first. She likes beauty and is quite extravagant. At the beginning, she still liked to cook for me and wait for me to go home. .”

Recalling the beginning of this short-lived marriage, Shenye realized that it was not the case now.He was single again, and he let A Cai be with that disgusting man.Why don't you hate that woman so much?Kanno thought, this might be something wrong with him.

"Oh……"

Without looking at Kanno, Shimizu didn't raise his slightly drooping eyelids even once.

"I thought that such a fun-loving person like her would become honest when she got married, cook for me every day, eat high-end restaurants together on rest days, and give gifts during festivals... Sigh, I still think too simple, that bastard Dan actually betrayed me, was bumped into by a colleague, and ended up revealing the truth in front of me..."

After drinking the last sip of the second bottle, the slightly tipsy Kanno decided to try to uncover his own history.But to his disappointment, even though he clearly said that A Cai had betrayed him, Qing Shui's eyes still didn't have any waves.Maybe what I expected was not how surprised the other party would be, but being so calm made people very nervous.

That's right, Qing Shui must have known about it, so since the first time he met him, he has been interacting with him with a different mood, even if the other party doesn't tell him, he will never forget it all the time, right?In his eyes, what is he?

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, a look of despair appeared on Kano's face.

"Hey, Shimizu. If you know, you don't have to put on an air? Isn't it tiring to pretend to be a good person..."

Having already given up, Kanno shook his head and smiled wryly.He recalled that he still smiled like that when he met for the first time, and Shimizu also took good care of him in the following days.He took the initiative to say hello to himself, asked himself if he was hungry, and asked him to have lunch together. No one wanted to get too close to him, but he was the only one...

What is it called?Are you sorry for yourself?

"Huh? What?"

Hearing Kanno's shady tone, Shimizu raised his head, but the calm fruit in his eyes made people angry.

"Are you a fool?!"

In a panic, Shenye took two steps towards him, and Shimizu, who was unable to react in the future, pressed the ground on the ground, his fierce eyes seemed to eat him.The bowls and chopsticks that Shimizu had not put down fell on the tatami, and the rice spilled out, but he couldn't get up.

"Are you pitying me? Or are you contacting me with the mood of watching a joke? Qing Shui, I thought you were such a gentle person, but now you, you actually..."

He didn't know what adjectives to use to condemn the other party. At this moment, Shenye felt that the blood was surging, and the person under his arms began to have difficulty breathing, and gradually frowned.

"say something!!!"

Kanno yelled at Shimizu who tilted his head to one side, but even though he squeezed his mouth open, Shimizu didn't say a word, but kept blinking because his voice was too loud.

"Why do you treat me like this? What do you guys think of me, A Cai, and you too..."

The more he talked, the more powerless Shenye became, and the desire to vent his emotions by crying became more and more clear.His newly filled stomach was aching due to emotional fluctuations. Seeing that Qing Shui raised his hand in disappointment because he was too heavy to breathe because of his own pressure, he leaned aside as if he was discouraged.

Shimizu still didn't speak, he put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, then picked up the rice on the floor with a paper towel and threw it away, and then started to clean up the table.It was beginning to become difficult to see clearly outside the window, and Kanno thought that it was not a bad thing for him to be so blind.

"I won't bother you anymore, sorry Shimizu, good night."

Picking up his coat, Kanno staggered towards the entrance, put on his shoes and looked back at Shimizu who seemed dumb.Even if he is not a talkative person, why is he silent tonight?And it was ironic that he was so angry.

"Good night."

Keeping the posture of looking back, Kanno's face was quite tired.Whether his own consciousness is too much, or the fact is just like this, now he has no right to change anything.

"...Good night, Mr. Kanno."

A voice that was more depressed than usual came out after Kanno turned his head.Shenye couldn't stop walking home, and didn't want to look back at the man again.

While staggering, he opened the door, took off his clothes, and lying down with serious frustration finally calmed down a little, and began to regret his words and deeds.Why in the past few years has it become more and more difficult for him to restrain his temper, and why he can't help it when facing the beaten man pointing at him, so he chooses to turn his face and fight directly.Whether it is temper or dignity, it becomes more and more unequal in this imbalance.

But everything is different, and now the man named Shimizu Kazuki knows about his embarrassing past, and he holds his own secret.Although these things are no longer secrets, in such a strange crowd, I still feel uneasy because of this uncertainty.He was afraid that the other party would jump over the wall in a hurry to talk about his unbearable past, and he was also afraid that the other party would threaten him with this.

I am as embarrassed as an animal whose tail is caught, and it is the seemingly gentle and easy-going Qing Shui who is holding this key point.How should I face him in the future, will I be threatened by him one day...

That night's sleep was quite painful, and when Shenye woke up, he found that it was not yet dawn, but because of his anxiety, he could no longer fall asleep, so he had to get up, take a bath and sit in a daze in the yard.There are pleasant birds chirping noisy in the cool morning, watching the flocks of sparrows, Kanno feels lonely.He had already left the flock, and he even doubted whether he could ever go back.

But no matter how uncomfortable I was, I needed to work, and at the same time, after a simple breakfast, I walked towards the factory, but someone ran up behind me, panting to greet me.

"Good morning, Mr. Kanno!"

Qing Shui, who was catching up, looked normal, although his breath was uneven, but he still had a peaceful face, looking at him from the iconic mole of tears, were his eyes with unique tenderness.
