【Blast Out】Love at Second Sight

"Hello, Mr. Green Valley, I'm sorry to trouble you. I heard that you came here temporarily from the suburbs." The staff of Hirata Real Estate Headquarters bowed to him, "We are sincerely sorry for this..."

"It's okay." He said, trying to put on a natural smile, "Shall we go straight to the house now?"

"Ah, that's it." The staff patiently explained, "Because we haven't got the keys to the apartment yet, we may have to contact the housekeeper of this apartment first. Although I don't know what's wrong with Mr. Hong, But after all, he has already paid the deposit, we must follow the process to complete this series of things... As for whether to sign the contract, it may have to wait until he can be contacted... and then..."

"I have the key." Midoriya Izuku said.

"Ah, that's great, I don't need to make an extra trip to trouble the apartment housekeeper." The clerk heaved a long sigh of relief, "Then Mr. Lugu, shall we go there now?"

He nodded calmly.

Originally, he forgot to return the key to Hong Jiaodong, but now it came in handy on an occasion he didn't expect.The staff of the real estate headquarters is a lively and talkative person, introducing the basic situation of their company along the way.Izuku Midoriya nodded numbly, but he didn't know whether he listened, or how much he listened, he just walked silently.

"Actually... I didn't inquire on purpose!" The employee was a little embarrassed, "Because they have been in the newspapers, and I also know the situation of Mr. Hong and Mr. Lugu. When we can't contact Mr. Hong... we are also very embarrassed. But when I saw that Mr. Lu Gu was filling in the emergency contact, I took the liberty to call, but I didn't expect that you would really take the time to come and deal with it."

They had already reached the downstairs of the apartment building, and Izuku pressed the elevator to open it.

"It's not that serious...you don't need to thank you." He said, "Mr. Hong may be busy, and I do have the responsibility to deal with the follow-up matters."

"Actually, the relationship is very good." The staff member said softly.

"...Huh?" Midoriya Izuku turned his head.

"I mean... Although the newspapers said that your relationship broke down, but I don't know why, I always feel that you have a very good relationship, otherwise you wouldn't have written each other's name in the emergency contact after breaking up... Sorry ! I am talking too much."

Izuku Midoriya was a little dazed, the key in his hand was cold, as if reminding him.

"We've already separated." He changed the subject a little stiffly, "I'm sorry."

The staff knew that they had made a slip of the tongue and followed silently.

The elevator arrived in no time, and Izuku Lvgu stood in front of the door, feeling a world away.

How many days has it been since the last time?He thought that the last time he packed his things was still vivid in his memory, and maybe starting today, this apartment has nothing to do with him anymore.The carpet at the door was clean, with no footprints or signs of furniture being moved.Izuku Midoriya tried to divert his thoughts and asked questions casually.

"Is it for sale with decoration?" He asked casually in a low voice, while slowly turning the key.

The metal clicked into the lock.

"Mr. Hong didn't elaborate, we have to wait until we see the house to find out..."

The door opened.Green Valley opened the door for a long time.

"It seems to be decorated." The clerk said.

Nothing moved.

It is difficult for Izuku Midoriya to describe his feelings at this moment.He brought slippers for the staff, and when he opened the shoe cabinet, he saw that the shoes inside were all neatly arranged, his, scorched, out-of-home shoes, and others.He is familiar with every pair of leather shoes, sports shoes and casual shoes.

The staff started walking around, taking pictures for the company's archives.

The living room has not changed, the remote control is placed in the storage box, the magazine he bought before is on the coffee table, the one from last month, the corner of the cover was accidentally broken by him.The bedroom didn't move, the curtains remained ajar when he left, the eternal flowers on the bedside table didn't even change their direction, and the pillow he had slept on lay quietly in its original position.

In the closet were the clothes that he was terrified of, all hung and ironed neatly, from dresses to pajamas, sorted into categories, like carefully sorted candies, none of which was missing.

The bathroom has not changed either, a set of toothbrushes, cups, towels and bath towels in the same color are all placed in their original positions.A cup is placed next to another cup, as if two people are close to each other.

You lost these.He remembered saying it before he left.If you find it troublesome, I will put a garbage bag in a while, and take it out and throw it away when I leave?

I'll deal with it.Hong Jiaodong answered him.

But it was not dealt with.Neither was dealt with.

He sat on the sofa blankly.Lvgu Izuku found that it was very difficult for him not to think about the matter of Hong Jiaodong, not to think about the possibility that he didn't even dare to mention.But everything seems to imply the existence of these things to him, their two-year story is true, everything that Hong Jiaodong has done...whether he believes it or not, there will always be some truth in it.A bag of waste that could be thrown away more than a week ago is still placed in this apartment intact——

Like a dusty box, all the memories are packaged and sealed, hidden in a place that will never be seen, and I hope that I will never mind it again.

"Mr. Lugu, may I ask if all the furniture is not cleared? There are personal items everywhere." The staff showed a distressed expression towards the closet, "Is Mr. Hong too busy to clear things in time..."

"Can I look at the house another day?" he said suddenly.

"What?" The staff didn't respond.

"Sorry for making such an unreasonable request all of a sudden." Izuku Midoriya answered him hastily, "But I really can't... and I don't have the right to make any decisions about this apartment."

"Wait for him to deal with it himself?" He lowered his voice:

"I want to stay here a little longer."

He rubbed the keys in his hand, sat on the sofa, and sat up from the morning until the afternoon.During this period, he tried to make several phone calls to Hong Jiaodong, but none of them got through. Just like the staff of the real estate company said, Hong Jiaodong's phone was always turned off, and no one could contact him.

At first he tried to leave a message on voice mail, briefly describing the condition of the house.He tried to make his voice sound businesslike, but found in the end that he couldn't.He closed the message, didn't say anything, just sat down slumped.

He tried to put himself in his shoes and think about what Hong Jiaodong would do, where he was now, walking or sitting quietly, and what he was thinking.Assuming that he wanted to say goodbye to a past, he asked himself, would he throw away all the frozen clutter in two years and start over?

His brain immediately told him the answer, and everything he sees now is similar, Hong Jiaodong has always made a choice, he just made... the same choice as him.

Green Valley Izuku began to hate his own cowardice.

It was like this for two years, and it will be the same after two years. Obviously he should ask more questions, but he didn't; he should obviously touch something more actively, but he didn't either.After his mother fell ill, he always considered himself a brave person, capable of accepting all situations, but he never dared to use this bravery on Hong Jiaodong.

Hong Jiaodong left enough respect and space for him, as well as enough options, but he chose to stand still in that comfortable gap.

He never understood it, and now he understands it, but it's a bit late.

Green Valley Izuku made another phone call.

Still no one answered.He was sitting on the sofa, and the female star on the cover of the magazine smiled sweetly.

He sighed.

Izuku didn't know how he fell asleep.The sudden sleep on the sofa seemed to be a century away. He opened his eyes and saw the orange-yellow sunset streaming in through the half-closed curtains and onto the beige sofa.

My neck hurts a bit, but my whole body feels warm.He pulled himself up and found himself wearing a blanket for some reason.The vision was a little hazy due to waking up, the scene was blurred under the setting sun, and for a moment I forgot where I was.

As soon as he let go, something metallic dropped to the floor, tinkling.

He looked down and saw that it was the key to the apartment, which he had just fallen asleep holding.Midoriya Izuku stretched out his hand and was about to pick it up, but another hand with beautiful knuckles stretched out and picked it up.

Hong Jiaodong put the key in his palm.

"..."

He was a little dazed, his eyes hurt, and when he rubbed them away with his hands, he felt even more sore.

"When did you come?" He said blankly.

Boom Jiaodong didn't speak.

"I didn't... trespassing. The real estate agent found me when they couldn't contact you. I went to see the house with them in the morning..." He explained with some stammer.Lvgu Izuku didn't know if the other party needed his own explanation, but it was really him who appeared at his ex-husband's house for no reason, he blinked his sour eyes.

Hong Jiaodong was looking at him, he was wearing a very soft cardigan, home pants, and a pair of slippers on his feet, just like he was at home before.Before he could finish speaking, he interrupted him: "It's all right."

Lvgu Izuku was dumbfounded.

"Has the agent finished watching?" Hong Jiaodong asked.

He nodded and shook his head again.

"I let him go, sorry," he said, "I have some questions for you."

"Why does it keep turning off?" He asked in a low voice.

"I had a quarrel with him. During the quarrel, my mobile phone fell on the wine cabinet and it broke." Hong Jiaodong said with a calm expression, and it was self-evident who the 'he' was referring to.

"Then why not buy a new one..."

"Not in the mood." Hong Jiaodong lowered his eyes, "Anyway, there is no one to contact."

Midoriya Izuku took a deep breath, and said the words that had been stuck in his throat for a day.

"Actually, what I want to ask is... why did you sell the apartment?"

silence.

His chest throbbed violently, but he waited quietly.

After a while, Hong Jiaodong raised his eyes and looked at him:

"Green Valley, it's hard for me to live here anymore."

"This apartment, this room, or something else, everything is fine. Many people persuade me to throw away... meaningless things, but I can't do it. It's like denying myself. I think, if one day I Gotta get rid of this stuff, I'd rather have a real estate agent handle it for me."

"Green Valley, you always knew the answer, but you didn't dare to say it."

"I'm sorry." Midoriya Izuku's fingers trembled.

"It's because I haven't considered your feelings." He couldn't predict what Hong Jiaodong would say, but he really felt sour. Hong Jiaodong's tone was very soft, but it seemed like eyelashes stuck in his eyes, making him want to Stretching out his hand, he continued to rub the corners of his swollen eyes, "I've always accepted your kindness, but I haven't thought about what kind of mood you've been in all this time..."

"Sometimes I wish." Hong Jiaodong interrupted him, staring at the key in his palm.

"I hope that I am a smarter person, not so stupid, not so stupid, not so dumb, and not able to tell the truth when facing you. Smart people have smart ways, and stupid people only have stupid ways , if I was smart enough, I would have told you from the beginning, in college, to ask you out, to find a suitable place, to look you in the eyes—"

"Tell you that I fell in love with you at first sight, and everything else is an excuse. Andewa can't force me at all. I haven't heard a word from him since I was a child-I want to help you and live with you. I should I tell you, but I can't do it."

"I can only use a stupid way, selfishly... to find a way to make up a lie, at least in name, to pull you and me together. I thought it would not work, but you promised me, maybe You are too worried about the health of your family. I obviously so... hate the power from that man, but in fact I am doing the same thing as him. I am the one who takes advantage of others, and it is always the one who uses power to oppress you I am also the one who tied you by my side."

"In the past two years, I have been thinking every day and night, when will you know the truth, and when will you realize that you have been deceived, and then turn around and walk away."

"Then you really left. That day by the river... I don't have the right to hold you back."

He lowered his eyes.His scorched eyes were full of sadness.

"Now you know, you know the truth of the matter, and there is no reason to stay with a selfish person like me anymore." Hong Jiaodong heaved a long sigh of relief, "Go back, you don't need to worry about the house, I will handle the next thing by myself..."

"You misunderstood." Midoriya Izuku interrupted him loudly, "You misunderstood me."

Hong Jiaodong looked up at him.

"I like you." His heart beat so fast that he almost jumped out.Izuku stood up, the setting sun shone brightly on the coffee table, and it also shone into his scorched eyes.Those strange-colored eyes were looking at him with a little surprise at the moment.

"I like you." He stared into his eyes and repeated the words, "Mr. Hong, I like you."

"I'm also a selfish person. I know that being with me is the worst choice. Not being satisfied by your family will hinder your future... I have countless opportunities to reject you, break the contract, compromise with my uncle, and let you go." leave--"

"but I do not have."

"I'm sorry, it seems a little late for me to find out about this, but I really like you." He said out in one breath, "I was very angry when I found out that you sold the house, and I was happy when I saw that you didn't lose a single thing. Driving away the agency out of selfishness is because I have some expectations in my heart, wondering if you will come today."

"It turned out that you really came."

He rubbed his eyes.He stepped forward.He looked at Hong Jiaodong with an unbelievable expression, and his strange eyes were like precious gems handed down from generation to generation.He looked at him, and finally he hugged him tightly.

The hug was tight, and his ex-husband's bewildered expression was reflected in his pupils.like on a branch

"It seems that my luck is pretty good."

He let out a long sigh of relief, and whispered in Hong Jiaodong's ear.

"I'm very sorry..." He said shyly, "I want to ask first, if you go through the marriage procedures after divorce, do you need to bring any additional documents?"

"Nothing special." The staff at the marriage registration office were very busy, and when they answered him, they didn't even have time to raise their heads. "Just the materials registered before, plus your divorce certificate."

"That's great." Izuku Lvgu breathed a sigh of relief, and pushed the document bag on his hand forward, "We have all brought everything."

The staff answered and opened the file bag, which contained neatly packed identity documents, materials, notarization, and two divorce certificates.She glanced casually at the name, a look that nearly dropped her portfolio in shock.

The staff member finally raised his head that had been buried in the documents. The boy in front of him looked familiar, with dark green fluffy hair, a somewhat embarrassed look, and his hands were so nervous that he didn't know where to put them; beside him stood a more A familiar, good-looking man with red and white hair and a tall build.

The staff showed a gentle professional smile, but what appeared in their minds was the content of countless gossip tabloids. When was the last time they read a report about them...?It seems that not long ago, it was Andewa who released the news that Master Hong was suspected of marrying the second lady of the Suzuki Consortium. What happened to that report?It seems to be... let it go?

She tried her best to suppress the gossip in her heart. "What a coincidence..." She tried her best to look calm, "I seem to have done the procedure for you guys last time."

"Really." Dark green hair showed a surprised expression, "That's really a coincidence."

"There is no problem with the documents." She pointed to the next door, "You can take pictures now."

"Okay." Midoriya Izuku thanked politely and stood up.

"Wait...wait a minute!" A staff member's voice came from behind.

Lugu Izuku and Hong Jiaodong were stunned, but they still turned their heads.He held the queue number for taking pictures in his hand, and when he heard the shouts from the staff, he became a little nervous.

"Excuse me, is there any problem with the procedure?" He asked worriedly.

"No, no, the procedures are all right." The staff waved their hands again and again, "Sorry... I'm just a little curious, so I want to take the liberty of asking..."

"Excuse me...is the old relationship rekindled?" She looked around and lowered her voice.

Now it was the turn of the two people to be completely stunned, standing where they were, looking at each other.

After a while, Midoriya Izuku scratched his head.

"I think..." He smiled sheepishly:

"Maybe it's... love at second sight?"
