    Chapter 34 Qiu Yu

    Kohakugawa received a call from the designer, saying that the antique teak sideboard he purchased from Italy had been shipped to his new home, and he was asked to unbox it and sign for it.

    This matter was not urgent, but Sakuzao raised his eyes and said to him:

    “You go ahead.”

    Kohaku Chuanliu said hesitantly: “…Aren’t you going to leave soon? I’d better see you off.”

    “There will be a car to pick me up later, no need to send me off.” Sakuzashoomi said, “It doesn’t matter, you can go.”

    Amber Chuanliu struggled for a while, not knowing whether to feel uncomfortable watching him go out, or whether to feel uncomfortable when she came back from going out and seeing the house empty.

    This discomfort started last night when Sakuzamori packed his suitcase.

    Sakuza Seomi spread a large suitcase on the floor of the master bedroom and was putting disinfectant wipes inside when Wandou walked over and stretched gracefully before sitting in gracefully.

    “…Come out.” Sakuzao Holy Minister said to it.

    Pea: “Meow.”

    ——No.

    “You can’t go.” Sakuza Seomien tried to reason with the princess, “After I leave, your mother… I mean Kohakugawa is at home alone, and you have to accompany him.”

    Pea: “…Meow.”

    ——Okay.

    When Kohakugawa entered the room with a glass of honey milk, he happened to see a pea jumping out of Sakuza Seomi’s suitcase with its tail hanging down, and she began to feel uncomfortable:

    Half of such a big suitcase is empty, which is obviously enough to hold a pea and another one of me.

    Ahhh, this damn World Cup has done so many bad things!It is only held once every four years, so why did it happen to be the first year that Sakuza Seomi and I met!Peas is still a little kitten, it can’t live without its father!

    Recalling this, Kohakuchuan was about to burst into tears.As an actor, his ability to empathize is too strong. It would be too pretentious for him to really cry. Sakuzamori couldn’t go to the competition with peace of mind, so he might as well go out.

    He tidied up briefly and decided to walk slowly to his new home.It’s not that far anyway, and a moderate amount of exercise can make you a little tired. When you come back and face an empty home, you don’t have much energy to think about anything else, so it’s best to just fall asleep.

    “You——” Sakuzao Holy Minister stopped him and paused.

    Kohaku Chuanliu stood at the entrance and looked back at him.

    Sakuzao Shengchen stood up, walked to the entrance, and held his hand as he was about to open the door.The man’s figure is actually very oppressive, and his always gloomy expression is even more daunting. However, every time Kohakugawa faces him, he will never get angry no matter how much nonsense he makes, so Kohakugawa often forgets this.

    But now, Sakuza Sage was pressing him in front of the door, with dark eyes under his thick eyelashes, which made Kohaku Chuanliu couldn’t help but take a step back, and his lower back hit the cold door handle.

    Sakuza Seomiji gently held his waist, and the two people’s posture became more intimate.He lowered his head, looked at Amber’s face that was forced to raise in the small space, and asked calmly:

    “…You have nothing else to say to me?”

    At such a close distance, that handsome face looked even more impactful.Sakuza Seomi’s skin is very white, and his lips are also very light. His eyebrows are dark and deep, and his eyelashes cast a small shadow on the high bridge of his nose.

    He is obviously such a cold and indifferent person, but when he looks at himself, he is very serious, as if there is nothing more important in the world than this.Kohaku Chuanliu thought in his heart, this junior is so foul, relying on his handsomeness to commit crimes.

    He took a few quick breaths and turned his head slightly.

    Sakuzao Holy Minister lowered his eyes and looked at the light blue tendons and blood vessels that appeared on his beautiful and slender neck with this movement.

    At this time, the experience and advantages of Nian Shang were fully revealed. The juniors were pressing forward step by step. The Kohaku River was still able to calm down and turned around again. Like a real elder brother, he smiled and raised his hand to touch the head of Sakuza Sacred Minister:

    “Let’s wait until you come back.”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister: “…”

    *

    The century-old teak has an amber luster that has been soaked by time. Amber Chuanliu and the designer checked this valuable antique, and it was no different from their expectations.Mr. Goro Inokashira from Tokyo was very professional in this regard. He personally delivered the goods with him. After watching the Kohaku River sign his name, he declined the invitation to have dinner together and said that he would develop a food map of Higashi-Osaka City by himself, so he walked away with his briefcase and the BGM of “Boom, boom, boom–“.

    “Oh, although there is no rush, the progress is still very fast.” The designer said with satisfaction, “Except for some customized furniture that still needs to wait for the construction period, it is basically completed. After that, you and Mr. Sakuhaya will move in your personal belongings. Although… Hey, why are you looking at me like this?”

    Kohakugawa originally wanted to ask her, how did you know that I planned to move in with Mr. Sakuhaya.After thinking about it, I decided to buy double items for my new home, such as a double bed, double ceramic tableware, double toiletries… Well, it’s normal that I can’t hide it.

    “So that’s it for today? Will Mr. Sakuza come to pick you up, or should I take you back?” the designer asked naturally.

    “I want to watch it for a while longer.” Kohaku Chuanliu said.

    “But I have to leave today.” The designer looked at the time with a hint of regret, “…I promised my daughter to accompany her to the zoo restaurant today.”

    “Okay, it’s okay. You can leave first. I’ll go back later.” Kohaku Chuanliu said with a smile, “Of course, my daughter is more important.”

    The designer also left, leaving Kohakugawa alone in the entire mansion.

    Although this place is brand new and the furniture has not yet had time to fill the empty room, there is no feeling of loneliness, but a kind of quiet tenderness.

    In winter, the evening sunlight has become thinner. It slants from the golden ginkgo tree through the shoji gate and shines on the wooden floor. The entire mansion seems to be frozen in time and well-preserved amber.

    “Then you and Mr. Sakuhaya will move in some personal belongings.”

    The designer’s words are like a tiny current.

    He instantly felt a tingling and warm feeling, as if his body and nerves, which had been tense all year round, finally found a pool of warm hot springs and slowly relaxed in it.

    ——In other words, I want to have a family.Amber River thought.

    He walked around in various rooms for a long time, tidying up and imagining what the future would look like here.Where the peas would jump and sharpen their paws, and where Sakuzamonomi would read…

    It was already dark, and when he walked to the door again, he realized that it was raining lightly.The autumn rain was very dense, but the sound was soft. It was mixed with the howling wind, and he didn’t even notice it.

    Although some daily necessities have been prepared for the new home, they have not even prepared an umbrella.Kohaku Chuanliu wanted to call his assistant to pick him up, but his phone was out of battery and he didn’t bring a charger with him when he went out.

    Amber River: “…”

    No wonder artists on programs like “I Live Alone” have so many ratings. The audience has no idea how bad these artists are at living independently.

    Forget it, wait until the rain stops before going back, or simply stay here for the night.Amber River flowing heart said.

    He was standing in front of the shoji gate, looking up at the autumn rain falling on the ginkgo tree in the yard.However, the wind and rain hit the room, so he closed the shoji door and turned around to find the electric switch of the house.

    At this time he heard a car driving onto the road in front of the door.

    The sound of tires scraping against the rain-wet ground was particularly harsh, like a nightmare that haunted him many years ago.Kohakugawa’s heart was beating heavily. He was alone in the dark old mansion. He was suddenly afraid that the god of death who had spared him many years ago would come to visit him again. When he turned around, he saw a figure reflected on the shoji door.

    “Shua——”

    Amber River stayed where she was.

    The God of Death may indeed have such an indifferent face, but the God of Death would not take two steps forward as a reflex the moment he saw him. Later, during the twenty days of separation, the Amber River chewed the memory of this night over and over before realizing that he wanted to move forward and hug him. Then, the visitor seemed to realize that he was soaked and could not stand on the expensive-looking wooden floor, so he stopped.

    “…When I went out, I saw it was raining.” Sakuzao Shengchen stood in the moonlight, paused, “I called your phone, but you didn’t answer.”

    Amber River: “…”

    There was no light in the room, maybe the switch hadn’t been turned on yet.Sakuza Seomi couldn’t see Kohaku Gawa’s expression clearly. He could only see him slowly walking forward, and the moonlight passing through the eaves slowly illuminated his face from bottom to top.

    Finally he saw clearly that Kohaku Chuanliu was smiling.

    Sakuzao Shengchen breathed a sigh of relief.

    This man has a lot of criminal records, and he always hurts himself when he can’t see it.When he didn’t get through, he was thinking: Does he have stomachache again?Does the old injury still hurt?If I’m not here, is there anyone around?

    “…Are you here to give me an umbrella?” Kohaku Chuanliu asked.

    Sakuzao Holy Minister nodded subconsciously.

    Kohaku Chuanliu smiled even more helplessly: “What about your umbrella?”

    “…” Sakuzao Holy Minister said, “I forgot to bring it.”

    He went home first, and the only person in the family who saw him go and turned back was very confused.

    He came here again, not sure whether the Amber River was still there, so he didn’t bring an umbrella when he hurried in.

    Amber Chuanliu raised her hand and gently touched his wet, cold face, seeing the rain dripping down his black hair and eyebrows.

    “…Idiot.” Kohaku Chuanliu said softly, “What should I do if you catch a cold? What should I do during the training camp?…I’ll get a bath towel to wipe you off first.”

    Amber Chuanli went to take out a new bath towel and stood on tiptoes to wipe the rain off his hair, face and neck.

    “You won’t catch a cold with this little rain.” Sakuzao Shengchen lowered his eyes, “The training meeting time is tomorrow at 12 noon. Mutu and the others went there first, and I changed the train.”

    ——The central idea is that there are no serious consequences because of you, and it’s best if you are fine.

    Kohaku Chuanliu’s hand wiping his hair paused for a moment, and then Sakuzao Holy Minister heard a very soft sigh:

    “…I really lost to you.”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister: “?”

    Kohakugawa thought that he had not mentioned it before because he was afraid of affecting his training and competition.

    Now it seems that I was wrong. I didn’t say what I should have said, but it only affected me even more.

    “Then I have to say it.” Kohaku Chuanliu took a deep breath.

    The bath towel above his head was removed and hung loosely on his shoulders. Sakuzao Holy Minister saw him looking up at him with a smile.

    “When did you start to like me? Don’t talk about “Coincidental Love” anymore.” Kohaku Chuanliu said, “If you don’t tell me the truth, I will kiss you.”

    Sakuza Seomi was stunned for a moment, and instantly pieced together the content of the conversation he had during his absence on the day of the exhibition match:

    “It was Iizuna-senpai who told me——”

    Huh?I don’t want to hear this.Amber River flowing heart said.

    He grabbed the towel around Sakuza Seomi’s neck and pulled him towards him forcefully.

    Then he stood on tiptoes, tilted his head slightly, and involuntarily covered his thin and cold lips.

    Sakuza Seomiji: “——!!!”

    The kiss lasted only a moment, and Amber Chuanliu quickly let go of his hand, took a step back, panted slightly, and looked at the person in front of him with a smile.The high moon reflected in his eyes, sparkling like a river.

    Sakuza Seomi’s expression went blank for a moment.

    He only felt touched by something soft and warm, and it disappeared before he could taste it.

    “Hey, let me ask you.” Kohaku Chuanliu looked at his expression and couldn’t help but laugh a little, then said, “When exactly – um -”

    He was suddenly pulled violently and fell into the arms of Sakuzao Holy Minister. He met Sakuzao Holy Minister’s covered face with a surprised expression.

    Before he finished speaking, his lips and teeth were slightly open, and that familiar, cold, clean and hot breath invaded his lips and tongue, and exploded in his mind at the same time.

    Amber River: “…!!!”

    Sakuza Seomi’s kiss was deep and urgent, even with some clumsy ferocity.

    Kohaku Chuanliu didn’t expect it to unfold like this at all. He said in his heart, God, aren’t I talking about mysophobia?Soon he couldn’t think of anything due to lack of oxygen. His body was forced to lean back and he couldn’t stand firmly. He could only cling to the neck of Sakuza Holy Minister, and the faint smell of blood filled his lips and teeth intermittently.

    “Wait, wait…!”

    Kohakugawa stumbled and fell back, and then he was caught by Sakuza Seiko, who picked him up with one hand and placed him on the back of the sofa.

    Sakuza Seomi didn’t care what Kohakugawa was saying. He kept kissing him on the back of the sofa, from lips to neck, from kissing to rubbing. After a long time, he raised his body and asked breathlessly:

    “…can I kiss you?”

    Kohaku Chuanliu lay on his back on the back of the sofa, his body almost folded back at 90°. He was forced to endure it for a long time before finally having the opportunity to say unbearably:

    “…Aren’t you already kissing me?”

    Sakuza Seomiji put one hand on the back of Kohakugawa Ryu’s neck and rubbed it vigorously.

    The murmurs of an evil fox, like the devilish voice, rang in his ears at the right time:

    Uncooked rice and cooked rice——!Uncooked rice and cooked rice——!Uncooked rice and cooked rice——!

    In the dimness, those dark pupils appeared deeper, surging with some inexplicable physiological desire, as if they wanted to eat the person under them.

    Sakuzaaki took a few heavy breaths and put his head into Kohaku Gawa’s neck.

    “…So,” he asked in a low voice, “can I ‘hug’ you?”

    Amber River was stunned for a moment, and a thin layer of crimson appeared from her cheeks to her earlobes.

    He turned his head and whispered:

    “…Okay, okay…as you like…”

    Sakuza Sage’s other hand reached into the white waist under his shirt.

    At that moment, Kohaku Gawa’s body shot up like a reverse bow, clinging tightly to Sakuza Seiko’s neck, with tears twinkling on his eyelashes.

    “… No, no… I still can’t…”

    Sakuzaakiki kissed him slowly for a while, picked his body up and sat down. At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had something in his pocket and took it out.

    Amber River was still dizzy until I smelled the faint smell of roses filling the space.With his teary eyes open, he saw Sakuza Seiko’s slender fingertips digging out a piece of light pink ointment from a vintage metal box that he was very familiar with.

    Amber River: “………………”

    Amber Chuanliu: “Why are you carrying my lipstick?”

    Sakuzao Holy Minister did not speak.

    “Forget it if you didn’t give it back to me before… why did you bring it here?” Kohaku Chuanliu asked intermittently, “…and you haven’t told me when…it’s too much!…You haven’t been thinking about this since you picked up my lipstick, right?”

    In the scent of roses, he heard Sakuzao Shengchen smile lowly.

    “Senior Kohakugawa–do you just want to hear me call him this name, huh?” Sakuzaa Shengchen leaned close to his ear and deliberately lowered his voice in a bad way.

    “Senior Amber, is that okay? Senior Xiaoliu? Which one do you like?”

    At this sound, the Kohaku River almost collapsed, and his fingertips clung to the back of Sakuza Sacred Minister.Then he suddenly thought that Sakuzao Shengchen was going to training. If someone like Gong Yu accidentally saw him, wouldn’t the entire national team know that he loves to tickle people…!Kohaku Chuanliu closed her eyes, so ashamed that she almost wanted to die.

    His fingertips slipped feebly from Sakuha Seomi’s back, and he was quickly caught, and then he was picked up again and placed on his stomach on the sofa.

    Sakuzao Holy Minister covered his body from behind. His skin was as delicate as silk woven with snow, and even the moonlight would roll off his back like pearls.

    He leaned over and kissed Amber Chuanliu’s shoulder, and then felt a hideous scar along the shoulder blade.

    Amber Chuanliu seemed to feel his gaze and couldn’t help curling up to hide the scar.

    Sakuza Seomien hugged Kohakugawa’s body, hugged him tightly in his arms, and said into his ear:

    “When I first started my freshman year in high school, club recruitment had not yet started, but the coach of the volleyball club already knew me. He asked me to go find him after class. I had something to do and was delayed for a while. When I got to the volleyball club, the club activities had already ended. I looked around and heard you guys talking in another corridor.”

    “The coach seems to be persuading you to stay, but you say no. You say you can’t do it among your friends who are working hard, and you neither respect them nor yourself.”

    “At that time, I just thought that what this person said made sense. Then you left. In fact, I didn’t even see your face. I wanted to stop you, and I didn’t know your name. Then I saw your name, Kohakugawa Ryu, written on your withdrawal application form by the coach.”

    “You haven’t been here since then, neither to the volleyball club nor to the school. I looked for you for a while and found out that you were someone I could search on the encyclopedia. I also realized that that was probably my only chance to get so close to you. I really should have stopped you at that time, but I didn’t speak, and you didn’t look back.”

    “…” Kohaku Chuanliu’s voice trembled, and he asked slowly, “Is that all?”

    “It’s just like that.” Sakuza Seomi said, “This kind of thing can’t be explained clearly. It took me a long time to think about it before I realized that maybe curiosity is the beginning of liking someone.”

    “After that, you became more and more famous. I thought that I might meet you at some brand event. Unexpectedly, the day I met you actually came, but it was you and Mutu who were on a blind date. To be honest, I was a little jealous when I first found out about it, and then I found out that neither you nor Mutu had a crush on each other, which made me feel a little funny.”

    “…Why are you laughing…” Kohaku Chuanliu said angrily, “Mumu… I won’t talk about him if I don’t have good taste… You know that I don’t like Mumu…!”

    “Of course I know.” Sakuza Seomien smiled softly and said, “otherwise, why would you ask for Bokuto’s contact information while ogling me?”

    “Didn’t you fall in love with me the first time you saw me?”

    Kohaku Chuanliu had no way to refute, so he could only bite the back of his hand in grief and anger.

    “I’ve finished my story.” Sakuzaaki kissed the back of his neck, then along the spine and kissed his scar, “Does it still hurt?”

    For a moment, an electric current seemed to pass through him. Amber Chuanliu opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

    “It’s okay, just tell me later.” Sakuza Seomi said very, very, very gently, “I will wait for you. I have been waiting for you for six years.”

    Big tears rolled down from Amber’s eyes.

    It hurts.

    Those pieces of metal, steel bars, and glass didn’t hurt that much when they entered the body, and they didn’t reach that deep inside the body.

    But at that time, no one covered him with such a warm body and kept coaxing him with such a gentle voice.

    “Amber, I like you.”

    On the edge of unconsciousness, he was turned over again and reached out to hug the person in front of him.Very tight, as if both people wanted to confirm each other’s existence.

    “Me too.”

    “I also… like you… Holy Minister.”

    The author has something to say:

    Pointed!Eat something good during the winter solstice!Serve it to everyone in advance!

    【Xiao Zao Diary】

    There is such a good thing.
