    Chapter 6 Coast

    Kohaku Chuanliu had heard enough compliments like this since he was a child. After becoming famous at a young age, it seemed like everyone in the world became good people overnight, and everyone praised him.However, Sakuza Seomiji has the ability to say such words in a unique way, as if it is not a beautiful word but the first law of the universe.

    After saying that, he lowered his eyes and continued to eat silently as if nothing had happened. Kohakugawa Rui was left with a red face and hesitantly said, “This cup is a real cup, and the shaved ice machine is also a shaved ice machine.”

    Moreover, Sakuzaa Sacred Minister actually called him “Amber” on purpose!

    The landlady thought it was his first name rather than his surname, and did not associate the man in a loose sweater with the big star with huge luxury goods endorsement ads all over shopping malls and subways. She just thought he was a college student who joined a volleyball club in his spare time.

    “That’s not right.” It took a long time for Kohakugawa to come to his senses and lower his voice and asked Sakuza Seomi, “Do you know that actor-senpai who just said I’m more beautiful? Have you seen his TV series?”

    “I don’t know.” Sakuzaaki said honestly, “But I know the “Amber Autumn”, it is October, it is autumn.”

    Amber River: “…”

    This is not a simple compliment, but an expert level.

    “Chocolate Lovers”, which catapulted the eighteen-year-old Kohakugawa to the top, was Fuji TV’s October drama that year.His fluffy chestnut short hair, toffee-colored eyes, coffee and brown outfits, and even the hot cocoa he held in his hand became a trend template that everyone rushed to imitate and became synonymous with a style.

    Just like when you think of winter, you think of “Love Letter” and think of Miho Nakayama’s face upturned in the snow.From now on, when you talk about autumn, you can’t help but think of “Qiaolian”, and think of the amber river flowing through the ginkgo leaves.The media and fashion magazines exaggeratedly wrote: “Amber’s Autumn is coming!” After that, Amber River often won acting awards in autumn, and “Amber Autumn” also evolved into a meme: No one can beat Amber River in autumn.

    While Kohakugawa was still thinking about how he even knew this kind of thing and whether he secretly Googled me, Sakuza Seomi had already finished the last bite of asparagus and put down his knife and fork.

    “Are you full?” The landlady expressed concern like a mother, and added, “There are still a lot of ingredients today, so I’ll make you some more food.”

    In this way, Kohakugawa ate the boss lady’s omakase again: grilled horse mackerel, fried pork cutlet with smooth egg, salmon roe rice bowl, zucchini tempura, potato croquette, and Sakuha Seomi’s favorite shiso-pickled umeboshi.

    “Ah, I’m so full -” Kohaku Chuanliu slumped on the back of the chair and rubbed his stomach, “I haven’t eaten delicious food like this for a long time. I will be talked about again when I go back.”

    “You won’t get fat if you exercise.” Sakuza Seomi asked the proprietress, “Is there any place where I can walk around here? There shouldn’t be too many people.”

    “This place is very close to Osaka Bay. You can go to the beach for a walk.” The proprietress looked at them with a smile on her face, with an expression on her face. “When I was young and dating my boyfriend, I would go for a walk in the beach park.”

    After she said this, she saw the two people who were normal one second, paused. The next second, they panicked and took out their mobile phones to pay, put the tableware and chairs, and wiped the table with wet wipes. There was a feeling that they didn’t know what they were busy with but they were very busy.

    “…?” the landlady said, “Just let me take care of it.”

    “Okay, thank you for your hard work.”

    “Thanks for the treat!”

    The two almost escaped from the restaurant.

    Boss lady: “…?”

    No matter how you look at it, they are on a date. The two of them are a perfect match. Did she say something wrong?

    *

    The two of them tacitly pretended not to hear what the landlady said about the date.Sakuza Seomi sat in the car and checked the navigation. Kohakugawa wiped his hands and face with a wet tissue, turned down the sun visor in front of the passenger seat and put a little lip balm on his lips.He bought it when he was in England. The lip balm was packed in a retro metal box and had a faint rose scent.

    “It’s a fifteen-minute drive.” Sakuza Seomien asked, “Do you want to go?”

    Amber River nodded.

    The sky was getting dark, and the weather was neither hot nor cold. Sakuzamori drove his car on the seaside road, and the sea breeze filled the car. It was so comfortable that Kohaku River wished that this road had no end.

    “When I was very young, Aunt Yuko…I mean Ms. Nikaido, my agent, used to drive me from one city to another overnight.” Kohaku Gawa looked at Osaka Bay under the night, and the more distant Seto Inland Sea and Pacific Ocean it connected, and suddenly asked, “Did Sakuhaya start playing volleyball when he was very young? I didn’t know what I was doing for a long time.”

    ——Even now, I still don’t know.

    “Well, when I was a kid, my cousin saw that I didn’t like playing with others, so he took me to play volleyball with him.” Sakuza Seomi said calmly, “Now that I’ve started doing it, I want to be the best. When I was in junior high school, I met someone who I really wanted to beat.”

    Kohaku Chuanliu turned to look at him and couldn’t help but ask: “Then did you defeat him in the end?”

    “There are wins and losses. The school I went to in high school won more, and the school he went to in college won more.” Sakuhaaya said. “Our most recent match is next month, and he is now a Schweden Adler player.”

    “…” Amber River laughed, “That’s great. Your world is so pure.”

    Sakuza Seomi wanted to say something, but in the end he didn’t.Only the distant waves serve as the accompaniment of the song, flowing between the two of them, as if there are goldfish swimming between the lyrics.

    I remember when I saw you for the first time

    (I remember the first time I saw you)

    You were laughing sparking like a new dime

    (Your smile shines like a brand new coin)

    I came over, “Hello, can you be mine”

    (I walked over and asked: “Hello, can you be my lover?”)

    After eating, he felt sleepy, perhaps because the environment in the car made Kohakugawa feel so at ease.

    He really fell asleep when we were talking about a certain sentence or singing a certain lyric.When he woke up, the car was parked on the highway. The world was dark and quiet. There was no one in the driver’s seat next to him, and he was covered with a sports coat.

    Kohaku Chuanliu sat up and saw Holy Minister Sakuza leaning on the railing of the seaside road, like a knight in waiting.The sea breeze blew his slightly curly black hair, and in the night his tall and thin silhouette looked like a bird flying over the river beach or a shooting star streaking across the sky.

    The lines on his face are more certain in the shadows. Such an indifferent, cold and sharp person seems to be born without any confusion.

    Kohaku Chuanliu couldn’t help but raise his phone and secretly took a picture——

    Ding dong.

    Amber River: “…”

    When the message popped up, Sakuzao Holy Minister also heard it. He turned around and asked, “Did you wake up?”

    “Yes, my assistant.” Kohaku Chuanliu covered up the fact that he secretly took the photos, and just put the blame on his assistant.

    Assistant:

    [Ding dong, my assistant classmate will tell you the time. It is now eight o’clock Tokyo time.】

    【It’s time to come back!】

    【Where are you?】

    【Come back?Will you still love me when you come back?】

    Amber Chuanliu couldn’t bear it and pressed the voice button to scold him:

    [Am I a junior high school girl?The gate time for junior high school girls shouldn’t be eight o’clock.】

    Assistant:

    【Then where are you?You didn’t book a room with him, did you?】

    Amber River: “………………”

    Assistant:

    [Send me a photo now. I will report it to Ms. Nikaido.】

    [Please follow the following requirements for photos: ① Show a complete and unobstructed face; ② Show the entourage (Sakuha Seomi-kun), all wearing complete clothes; ③ Show the background, and send the address link; ④ The left index finger and the right index finger overlap to form a cross, so as to avoid replacing old photos taken before…]

    Amber Chuanliu turned on the front camera, raised her middle finger, and sent it to him.

    “…” Sakuzao asked, “What’s wrong?”

    “It’s because of nerves.” Kohaku Chuanliu threw away the phone irritably, “Why doesn’t he become the dean of students?”

    Sakuzao Shengchen caught his cell phone and understood.

    “Go for a walk on the beach,” he said, “I’ll take pictures for you.”

    The coast of Osaka Bay is not a beach, but a coast composed of chaotic gravel; the so-called seaside park is just a deserted open space, the waves crashing against the rugged gravel, making repeated sounds, and the only thing that can be called a scenery is a lighthouse on the hazy gray-blue sea.

    Sakuza Seomi was the first to climb over the railing and walk on the gravel towards the coast.Seeing how light he was, Kohaku Chuanliu followed closely behind him before he could turn around. Unexpectedly, he slipped when he stepped on the first piece of gravel, and fell forward with a cry of surprise.

    “Wow-”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister turned around in an instant, opened his arms and took him in his arms without thinking.

    My mind went blank. Along with the salty sea breeze, the amber stream seemed to be enveloped by the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, which was clearer and stronger than the last time.

    However, Sakuza Seomi didn’t let go immediately like the last time, because Kohakugawa Ryu’s body completely froze.

    The lighthouse on the breakwater shone like an ambulance, and the salty sea breeze smelled like blood.Distant sirens and chaotic and noisy shouts were about to explode in Amber Chuanliu’s mind, but before they exploded, he heard someone’s voice as light as a sigh.

    “…It’s okay.” The voice said, “I caught you.”

    His thoughts were instantly brought back, and his body regained consciousness.Kohakugawa clutched the front of Sakuza Seiko’s coat and nodded in his arms.

    “Then,” Sakuzao Shengchen paused, “…should I let go?”

    “…Okay.” Amber River said.

    Sakuza Sage’s palm slowly loosened, and the two of them took half a step back, their eyes diverging from each other.Sakuza Sage-chan’s loosened hand did not take it back, but extended it to Kohaku Gawa to hold it, leading him to move forward step by step.

    His palms were wide and covered with a thin layer of calluses.The fingertips are slender, the knuckles are distinct, thin and strong.

    The sea breeze was cold, but the palms were dry and warm, making the fingertips of Amber River feel even colder.

    “Just shoot it like this.”

    The Amber River turned around, and the wind blew his chestnut hair a little messy. Behind him was the Prussian blue Osaka Bay, as dark and deep as night.Sakuza Seomi used his mobile phone to capture what looked like a frame in a movie. A familiar silhouette flashed past in the photo album in the lower right corner. Before he had time to figure out what it was, it was covered by a new photo.

    The author has something to say:

    I didn’t mean to break the story here, but I drank cold medicine and was too sleepy to write, so I went to bed first [dissolved]
