If there is any difference between a couple before and after they get married, it is probably that they quarreled before they got married and wanted the whole world to know that the other party made them very angry, but after they quarreled again, even if They quarreled so much that a small war broke out between them, and they didn't want to let outsiders know about it.

Although this conclusion mainly depends on each person's personality, it may not apply to everyone, but at least for Nakahara Chuya, after three years of marriage, he will selectively complain to others about himself and Osamu Dazai when he thinks clearly and rationally A certain quarrel, but those unplanned quarrels don't want others to see the slightest bit - of course this is the same for Osamu Dazai - after all, after getting married, they are labeled as the same in the eyes of everyone, giving each other face It is tantamount to keeping a face for yourself.

It's like now, when they were arguing in an empty office so blushing and thick-necked (and the content was so childish that others couldn't believe that it was Mr. Nakahara and Mr. Dazai) they almost staged a full martial arts, but half an hour later they choked At the end of the war, when they returned to their respective posts, they coincidentally restored their usual elegance, calmness and demeanor.Numerous gossip eyes of many curious colleagues locked on them, but then they all found out with great disappointment that, with their eyesight, it was impossible to see anything related to what had just happened from their indifferent bosses. What is the clue.

"Mr. Dazai," one of his subordinates stood by the table and reported, "The investigation results came out. The name of the company is Ryoko Electronics Co., Ltd., but it is just an empty shell prop to deceive the public. The financial master behind it is the Morishita Consortium."

Osamu Dazai gave a faint "hmm" and took the document in his hand: "How many definite evidences are there?"

"One, it has been blocked and sent to your mailbox."

"I'll look at it later—it's been hard work, and it's done well." Osamu Dazai flipped through the document, roughly scanned it to confirm the content, and then put it aside, "Remember to write a briefing report, and put it in before get off work today. On my desk."

"I understand."

Standing a few steps away with arms folded with Akiko Yosano, he waited for the subordinate to walk away before coming over: "Looking at the attitude of the people in this office towards you, it feels like you are far away from them saying 'Yes, sir'. One day is not far away.”

"Hmm, that's because their psychological quality is not up to standard." Osamu Dazai didn't even lift his eyelids, he lazily moved the mouse to open his mailbox and replied casually, "I'm so kind and friendly, so I'm not as scary as they imagined. .”

He Xie Ye sneered when he heard the words: "Can you say such a thing without changing your face - take a snapshot and look in the mirror to see if your nose has grown longer?"

Osamu Dazai said very self-aware: "I don't want a long nose, you know, I have always relied on this handsome face to trick those pretty little girls."

"Including that powerful Omega of yours upstairs in the Operation Department?" Xie Ye raised his eyebrows.

Osamu Dazai: "Chuya? Haha, believe it or not, if I look a little uglier than now, he would never have slept with me?"

"Oh—then it seems that it's not easy for you to develop a one-night stand into a long-term stable relationship," Yan Yan said with a smile on Yosano Akiko, "Then you still quarrel with others all day long?"

"..."

As early as the first sentence, Osamu Dazai had keenly sensed the ominous premonition that this person might be gossiping, but failed to avoid the topic several times, and finally sighed: "...you are To do this?"

Although Yu Xieye joked with some gossip thoughts that all women have, she is also a smart and sober woman.Now that Osamu Dazai, who is usually eloquent, has lost his usual perfunctory words, and there is only such a dry sentence left, and Yosano knows that "Mr. Dazai stepped on the hot wheel angrily" rushed upstairs to the Operations Department to catch the culprit at such a high speed" news should no longer be something that colleagues can joke about.

So she blinked, threw the envelope that she had been holding in front of Dazai, and took the words over in a nonchalant way: "Of course not. Here, tomorrow's work."

Seeing her being so knowledgeable, Osamu Dazai certainly wouldn't get along with his beautiful and fierce female colleague (mainly because he was worried that she would put the tip of a knife on his chin at any time), he put on his usual smiling face, picked up the envelope Slowly opened it: "What's the matter? You have to send me out on purpose—"

Yosano Akiko looked indifferent: "It's not Omega confinement, why can't I let you go out on a mission?"

Osamu Dazai: "...Sister, you can't deliberately target me just because I don't let you gossip."

As he spoke, he glanced at the piece of paper he took out from the envelope, then raised his eyebrows inexplicably: "Oh... this matter."

"Well, because you also have experience in this matter, the higher-ups let me hand it over to you." Yosano Akiko said.

Osamu Dazai shook his head, and stuffed the paper back into the envelope: "Oh, Atsushi-kun is too honest... You don't have to be so obedient when some company regulations can be broken."

Yosano Akiko took the ashtray that was placed next to him to signal him to burn the mission and the envelope together, and said in a flat tone: "After all, not everyone is as shameless as you."

"Why did it involve me again?" Osamu Dazai smiled softly, "But to be honest, he and Akutagawa are together...I think it's not bad, at least at this stage."

So Yosano Akiko's interested eyes fell on him again, does that mean you have investigated this matter?

Osamu Dazai took out his lighter and lit the envelope, while smiling and showing off his cuteness to his beautiful female colleague: "That's right, don't you see what I do?" He also guessed from the details that the kid usually didn't cover up.

She and Yosano Akiko thought about it, and finally decided not to listen to any little secrets from this man who is not sure about other things.She took away the signed form by Osamu Dazai, and before she left, she frowned and looked at the smiling expression on Osamu Dazai's face that seemed to never leak water, and after a pause for a few seconds, she spoke slowly: "Although this matter is up to me. It's a bit of a stretch...but I think I should remind you that your own Omega needs to be coaxed by yourself, and when someone else coaxes it for you, you will not be far from returning to the singles club."

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Osamu Dazai to reply, she raised her chin as a signal, and then stepped on her pair of 7cm high heels and left in a "tap-tap-tap" manner.

"..."

Seeing the difficult female colleague walk away, the smile on Osamu Dazai's face faded.There was no one around, so he stopped maintaining that mask-like smile. He sneered at Xie Ye's words and started to deal with his work. He was obviously still angry with Nakahara Chuya—but half an hour later, he faced the passing The summary interface that was blank after half an hour was silent for a long time. Finally, he took out his phone, unlocked it, and clicked on the photo album. While groaning and sulking, he scrolled through it slowly. When he reached the top, he squinted. He opened his eyes and clicked on one of them.

In the photo, both of them had their eyes closed, and they were kissing each other with a smile that was almost unstoppable.He put his hands around Chuya's waist, and his left hand got into the T-shirt dishonestly. The white T-shirt with a stupid rabbit printed on the front has been lifted halfway by him, and he can see the bottom of the T-shirt from the photo. A few neat abdominal muscles are also exposed; Zhongyuan Zhong also wears a VacheronConstantin classic right arm hanging around his neck, and the other arm is stretched out of the camera - this photo is Zhongya Taken with his cell phone.

Osamu Dazai: "..."

No way, have they ever taken photos like this of a couple in love?He thought that there were only various bed photos and dark photos of Zhongye that he secretly took in the album of photos related to Zhongye.

Looking at the date of the photo, it shows that it was three years ago when he first got married with Zhong Ye.Osamu Dazai blinked, remembering that time, they seemed to have indeed had a sweet period when they hardly quarreled.

Alas, originally I wanted to entertain myself by looking at Zhongye's black photos, but now——

Gee.

Exiting the album interface irritably, Osamu Dazai held the phone with a sullen face, finally he sighed and dialed a number to go out.

"Hello, is this Mr. Sasaki, hello, I'm Dazai."

"Long time no see... Haha, the experience of working with you last time was very pleasant. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate next time."

"...Well, it's really not a big deal. It's like this. I remember you said last time that you bought a few bottles of good wine in Europe for collection?"

TBC.
