【Taizhong】Longtime Companion

Are you really going?I asked Zhong Ye.

He had already put his hat on, then stood up and straightened his neckline.I watched him walk in front of me, and I kissed him very naturally, and the spiritual bond between lips and tongue gradually became stable.The tentacles of my thoughts wrap around his spiritual system with gentle movements.He was too short, but he reached out and grabbed the back of my neck during the kiss, like grabbing some kind of animal.I didn't bite him badly this time, the kiss was peaceful and sweet as if it came from the heart.Zhong Yuan also let go of his hand, I said you hurt me very much.

He turned to open the door.

Are you really not afraid anymore?I said.What if he died?

The only sound left was the crackling of his leather shoes going down the stairs, echoing his words.

It's worth taking you to hell with me.He said.

There were quite a few people who came to see us off.

Akutagawa said that if necessary, he can also accompany, I said no, you just do your own thing in Yokohama.Hongye looked at us with pity, which is rare. It was raining, and she was wearing a red umbrella, and the rain fell from the tip of her umbrella.She also said to Zhong, have you thought it through?Half of your actions now rely on your partner's synaesthesia. If something happens to Dazai, you basically don't want to live.Zhong Yuanzhong didn't answer either, he just walked towards the boarding gate silently, I said it's not that dangerous, right?Akutagawa remained silent, saying, Mr. Dazai, have a good trip.

I said yes, it must be smooth sailing.

It was dusk when we returned to that city, and Zhong and I were looking for the safehouse under the half-turned-on streetlights.Central Plains is also rare to be calm, I said, are you not afraid that they will use that medicine again?For example, if it is used on me, it will be miserable, and we will die together.Zhongyuan Zhong also said you stop talking nonsense, do you think I am dead?

I said you have no five senses.

He murmured that it was customary for the sentry to protect the guide.

I laughed and pushed his shoulder lightly, he was caught off guard and almost fell forward.He turned his head subconsciously, and at that moment I turned off the synaesthesia, and Zhongyuan Zhong also fell into confusion and bewilderment visible to the naked eye at that moment.I pushed him against the wall by the side of the road. There are old European-style buildings all over the area. The walls are rough but comfortable to the touch.He was pushed against the wall by me without synaesthesia, and he looked at me in panic. I pressed his shoulder against the wall and looked at him.

He said hurriedly, what are you doing?

I moved closer to him, almost touching the tip of his nose.

Look, how do you protect me now.I said with a smile.I still don't have synaesthesia, but I know he can see me and hear me.He stared at me, his ice-blue eyes gleaming, filled with various complex emotions.His eyelids trembled slightly, he opened his mouth, but remained speechless.

Chuya, you can't do anything without me now, accept the fact.I smiled and let him go.

I kept walking with my pockets in it, and my synesthesia was restored by the way.Halfway through the walk he hadn't followed, so I looked back at him.Zhongyuan Zhong also remained in place by the wall.

I don't know what's stupid.

I took out the key that Nakahara Zhongye hid last time from under the flower pot, and the moment I opened the door, dust hit my face again, and I reached out and waved it in front of me.We need to wait for the information from the informant. The former member who defected from the port has simply defected to the local mafia. If we don’t get rid of him, what awaits us will be a complete leak of our information.Once the informant knows the location of the former member, he will take the initiative to contact me. What Chuya and I have to do now is to stand by in the safehouse.In fact, when I was in Yokohama, I expressed my dissatisfaction with this hidden spot to Mori Ogai. It is too small. I told Mori Ogai that there is only one bed, so someone must sleep on the sofa, which is a foreign mission. It is very inhumane for the cadres.Mori Ogai said that I remember that the bed in that hidden spot was quite big, so you two should squeeze together.I said you must be joking, I don't want to be assassinated by the person next to me in my sleep for no reason.

Mori Ogai spread his hands, saying that there is nothing I can do, that safehouse is actually my private property, if you are not satisfied, then I will take it back, and you can find another residence by yourself.

I had no choice but to say forget it.

So the first thing to do when you move in is to decide who will sleep in the bed, and Nakahara Chuya has no privilege to be injured this time.I said guessing boxing, he rejected me because he lost every time, I said you are too easy to understand, can you blame me for this?I really don't want to sleep on the sofa. The sofa is very annoying. The last night I slept on it, I woke up in the morning with a pain in my neck that almost seemed to be broken.I said Zhongye, you see you are small, it must be just right to sleep on that strangely shaped red sofa, I am tall, the sofa can't fit my feet.

When he heard this, he was so angry that he almost jumped up, and said loudly, you say it again?

I said ok ok, actually I don't mind sharing the same bed with you, if you want to share the bed too, how about we go together?

I originally thought that if I said this, Zhong Yuanzhong would subconsciously reject me if he hated me.But to my surprise, he was silent for a long time.After a few minutes he looked up and said yes.

Now it's my turn to be startled, I said are you serious?

I don't sleep on the couch anyway, he said.Zhong Yuanzhong had already walked towards the bed, and he stretched out his hand to draw a hollow line on the bed.On one side, he raised his chin, pointed to the dividing line of nothingness, and added, if you stretch your legs in the middle of the night, I will kick you out of the window.

oh.I laughed.That's it.

Around eight o'clock in the evening I received a tip from an informant.At that time, we were going to have dinner, and it was still Zhongye who was tossing a cabinet of dusty tableware in the kitchen. He asked me to wash all the bowls and plates. I was humming and washing, and broke three or four.Just as Nakaya was beating eggs into the pan, I heard knocks on the door, two short knocks, a three-second pause, and three more knocks.Zhong Yuanzhong also raised his eyes during the egg-beating interval to motion for me to open the door. I opened the door a crack, and a small metal cylinder was stuffed in.

I closed the door and picked up the small metal cylinder on the ground. Inside was a small crumpled note, or a paper towel that was about to be crumpled.

So fast?Nakahara also poked his head from the kitchen.I could hear the crackling of the egg, the yolk pouring out, and the white generally congealing into a finger-prickly white.Zhong Yuanzhong also plugged in the oven and put slices of bread in it.I am amazed that he is better at living than I am, obviously living alone - oh I don't necessarily, I still have female companions from time to time.Central Plains also brought out meat steaks, and the aroma was overflowing, almost filling the narrow kitchen.He was rarely wearing a hat, and when a few hairs fell from his ears, he even reached out and plucked them.A kitchen full of food, clean dishes, and busy sentries are obviously inappropriate, but I can rarely see a slight but existing vitality from such a scene.

Got news?he ask me.He was holding a plate, standing by the table, looking at me with gentle eyes, not at all like the usual grumpy cat.

Well, there is.I waved the note in my hand.

Tomorrow's dinner at Hotel X, I touched my ears, let's find a way to get in.
