After Natsume left Yasuda's house, she once showed a deliberate alienation from Oda Sakunosuke.Oda Sakunosuke sometimes felt that Natsume wanted to say something to him, but when he knelt down to ask him, Natsume shook his head and said nothing.When staying at Wei Kang's house for the night, Natsume was very dependent on herself again.

Oda Sakunosuke wondered if he should find some time to have a good chat with him.

After Oda settled in Central Plains and Natsume, he went to Weikang.Weikang was pouring beer in the kitchen, and after seeing Oda coming out of the house, he invited him to chat in the backyard.Oda took advantage of the situation and returned the money he borrowed from him last time.

Weikang rubbed the envelope with his fingers, and immediately felt something wrong: "I only lent you [-], is there such a thick one?"

Oda said: "There is also a hundred thousand you gave to Chuya."

"One big and one small are all honest people, I'm afraid they will be bullied to death in Hong Kong and black."

Weikang didn't need him to pay back the money that Weikang originally gave to Zhongyuan, but since it was stuffed back, he was not hypocritical, put the money bag aside, and asked if he wanted some wine.He brought two cups.

Weikang raised his glass and said, "Come on, congratulations on your promotion, let's have a toast!"

After Oda Sakunosuke took the wine glass and helped Weikang fill it up, he poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Thank you, and I respect you too."

The two glasses collided with a crisp sound.Looking at Oda, Weikang laughed, half crossed his legs, and said, "The promotion really solves your urgent need at this time, doesn't it?"

"It is."

Oda didn't have much happiness on his face, but he wasn't very depressed either, he just felt that Oda still had something to say.Weikang took a big sip of beer, tapped his fingers on his knees and asked, "What's wrong? The boss is not good, and the new colleague is too domineering?" After Weikang finished speaking, he felt that what he said was impossible.Oda Sakunosuke's personality is introverted and open-minded, and he doesn't care about others bullying him at all.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't know how to describe his specific mood, and the eyes of the lake restrained his emotions, and said: "... a little bit of my time is taken up, and I can't do what I want to do."

"This is the inevitable price of being promoted, which is very normal." Weikang thinks this is a very normal thing, and there is no free lunch in the world, so how can it be possible to do the same work as before and earn half the salary than before.He took a sip of the beer's snow foam and asked curiously, "So, are you worried that you don't have time to take care of the two children?"

"Not exactly, both of them are very good, and they never complained about anything. Zhongya is also very reliable..."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't go any further, except for Nakahara, no one in Hong Kong knew that he wanted to be a novelist.For Oda Sakunosuke, it is somewhat too presumptuous to publicize things that have not yet been done.

But it also means that he has a lot of difficulties and struggles in his heart, and he has no way to tell anyone.

To be honest, this promotion made Oda intuitively and strongly feel his need for the current job.For Zhongyuan, for Natsume, and for Atsushi Nakajima, when he can't really make money by writing novels, he must hold on to his current high-paying job.

Recognizing this fact, Oda Sakunosuke can no longer deal with work as lazily as before.He needs to focus more attention and time on the new job to make money, which will inevitably sacrifice the energy of writing.

In addition, what he has not said is that, in fact, the failure of the submission at the beginning of the month also had a certain impact on him.After all, this book took him nearly a year and a half to work on.Although he didn't say it, he always cared about it.

For a moment, Oda Sakunosuke wondered if it was because he was not suitable to be a novelist that there were so many obstacles in front of him.And regarding the new book for submission, he hasn't written a single word recently, and he has no idea at all.

Faced with such thoughts and facts, Oda Sakunosuke felt uncontrollably frustrated and frustrated.But he also knew that it was impossible for him to give up his dream of writing novels.He was born again for this dream, but there has been no breakthrough in the past five years, and now he seems to be unable to take care of both hands, as if he has fallen into a quagmire and cannot save himself.

Now, Oda can’t give up his current job for a living, and plans to postpone his dream of being a novelist for a while. Maybe he will continue to work hard for his dream when they are self-reliant... Oda Sakunosuke thinks so, but his intuition Tell yourself it might not be going well.

All in all, he is very confused now, he doesn't know whether to continue to work hard for his dream of being a novelist, or to focus first, earn enough money, and then go wild for himself and chase his dream without any worries.

Seeing that Oda Sakunosuke fell silent by himself, Wei Kang said to Oda: "If you have any difficulties, you can just tell me, and I will help you find a solution?"

"nothing."

In fact, Oda Sakunosuke thought about it himself.

The best thing is to make enough money first, he is not living for himself now.And he has always kept in mind what he said to Natsume Reiko, if he really can't live past 24 years, then he must first prepare for other people's back roads, which is his own business.

This is the most correct.

"I'm just messing with myself."

Weikang feels that sometimes Oda is too considerate of others, afraid that others will worry about him and cause too much trouble for others.But there is no benefit in forcing him, Oda Sakunosuke is bored most of the time, and he is rarely willing to talk to others about his own affairs.At first, I felt that he was avoiding taboos, but after getting along for a long time, I realized that he just felt that his own affairs were boring and not worth mentioning.

Seeing that Oda's glass was more than half empty, Wei Kang continued to fill it up for him.

"When I invited you to drink before, I always said that I was not yet 20 years old. Now I must drink more."

The atmosphere between the two of them didn't cool down because of this little episode. After drinking almost a whole bottle of wine, Oda Sakunosuke found that Natsume was hiding in the corner and watching them secretly.His pale golden-brown hair shone like platinum under the silver moonlight, which reminded Oda Sakunosuke of the first time he met Natsume Reiko, he always thought that aunt was too beautiful to be a person living in the world.

Guizhi really looks like his grandmother, the facial features and facial features will become more like him when he grows up.

Following Oda's line of sight, Wei Kang also noticed Natsume, so he waved directly at him.

"Kizhi-kun, do you want to come over for a drink too?" Weikang greeted Natsume with a coaxing smile, shook the golden transparent drink in the cup and said, "It's very delicious barley tea~ Uncle, share it with you." Small mouth."

Natsume's shallow pupils flickered, he had been standing for a while, and he was indeed a little thirsty.Although his heart was moved intentionally, Natsume subconsciously looked at Oda first to ask for his approval.

Oda looked at Weikang helplessly: "You are not drunk, don't do something stupid like giving Guizhi a drink, how old is he?"

"Tsk." Weikang crossed his legs and said nonchalantly, "He must not be able to sleep, and it would be fun to get him drunk. My grandpa liked to feed me wine when I was a child, and it also made my current thousand cups not drunk."

Oda ignored Weikang, but stood up and walked towards Natsume, asking, "What's wrong?"

"I'm sleeping, I can't sleep." Natsume said cautiously, "And Mr. Oda was up late too, so I want to take a look."

Natsume stood barefoot on the board, her two little feet were as white as shiny nephrite.When talking, because he didn't dare to look at Oda, he kept his eyes fixed on his feet.

"Then come and have a drink! Uncle will prepare a small cup for you."

Weikang tried to attract the ignorant little guests, waving his big hands up and down like cattail fans, Natsume's attention was immediately attracted.

Oda hugged Natsume, and said to Wei Kang who was still drinking beer in the backyard: "It seems that you are really drunk, go to bed quickly. I have to go too."

Seeing Oda and Natsume leaving without looking back, Weikang couldn't help shaking his head "tsk tsk tsk": "I love the child so much, how can I find a partner in the future? I still have to come and find time to help him arrange it." It's all right."

Weikang thought about it carefully, and remembered that his wife slipped on the train and was rescued by a beautiful female doctor, who seemed to be called Ms. Xie Ye.They are also about the same age, so maybe we can help arrange it.Weikang felt that this girl should not be afraid of Hong Kong gangsters, because according to her wife, the female doctor brought her own chainsaw.After Weikang listened to it, he couldn't help but exclaim "Wow——" and then he couldn't speak anymore.Thinking about it now, Weikang always feels that she should be a good match with Oda, who has a natural personality.

On the other hand, Oda Sakunosuke returned to the guest room shared with Natsume Nakahara and the three of them. Natsume was lying in the middle of the room, covered with the same big sheet as Oda.Natsume stared at the ceiling, turned around, noticed that Oda was looking at him, quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be sleeping.

"Can't sleep?" Oda said to Natsume in a lowered voice, "How about reading you a storybook?"

Natsume's light golden pupils also turned as Oda Sakunosuke got up: "We didn't bring a storybook."

"... Ah." Oda's movements froze, and he slowly retreated back to the bed, and suggested embarrassingly, "Do you want to hear a story? Shall I tell you one?"

Natsume turned over to face Oda, looked him in the eyes and said, "I want to hear it."

"Then—" Oda began to recall the memories in his head. He hadn't read any children's stories, so he could only make up one on the spot. "Talk about a child who can't sleep at night like you?"

"Ah, can't he fall asleep?" Natsume suddenly became worried, "Then what should he do?"

At least he still has Oda-san and Chuya brother.

What about that kid?

"Well." Oda didn't expect that before the story started, he was stopped by Natsume's question, so he said slowly, "At the beginning, he was counting sheep, one to ten, tens to hundreds, But he still couldn't sleep, tossed and turned under the covers, and then started looking at the moon in the sky."

"Is the moon in the sky round or curved?"

"The moon in the sky is curved, and there are many stars." Oda Sakunosuke lost in memory, and said, "Someone told him that if important people leave, he will become one of the countless stars in the sky. It appears when the child is most alone and helpless."

"Then he should be very lonely when he looks at the stars?"

"I feel like he's the only one left in the whole world." Oda Sakunosuke said while patting Natsume's back slowly, coaxing him to sleep.

"Then where are his parents?"

"His parents passed away."

Natsume was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "Then he must miss his parents very much, that's why he can't sleep, just like me..." Natsume paused, then raised his head and said to Oda: "I don't want to hear That's the story, I heard at Uncle Yasuda's house that your parents also left very early, this story is not good for you at all."

Oda suddenly choked, and he finally realized the reason why Akashi had been persuading him not to write online novels. Apart from the fact that his work could not be updated stably, instant reader comments would make him unable to continue writing.

"Actually, the ending of this story is pretty good." Oda fought hard for the story he had just started. "Really don't want to finish listening?"

"I don't want to hear it right now."

"Uh." Oda was suddenly frustrated, "Okay."

I'm really not good at telling stories.

Natsume said in a low voice: "Mr. Oda, in fact, I couldn't fall asleep because I missed my parents too much... My mother passed away when I was born. I have never seen my mother, and I have no chance to call my mother." ..."

Oda felt sorry for the boy in front of him.

"What can I do for you?"

"I..." Natsume grabbed the quilt to cover her face and whispered, "Can I call your mother? Just tonight."

"???"

Oda felt that it was fine if he couldn't catch up with Osamu Dazai's thinking, and Natsume couldn't catch his own brain circuit at all.

"Can't I? I've never had a chance to call Mommy..."

"alright."

What else can Oda Sakunosuke do?

People are Daozu, I am fish, Natsume can call it whatever he wants.

Natsume shyly called: "Mom." Seeing that Oda Sakunosuke didn't repel him at all, the light golden pupils glowed with joy.

"...Well, go to sleep."

Natsume immediately said obediently: "Okay."

Seeing that Natsume closed his eyes tightly, and Oda was about to close his eyes, Nakahara's curious voice rang out: "Before going to bed, who is the father? Mr. Sakunosuke is the mother, so I am the father?"

...Why didn't you sleep?

It's not a player's house wine, there must be a character.

Oda Sakunosuke saw that Nakahara, who had been turning his back to them, also turned around, looking at him with blue pupils.Natsume closed his eyes, and was about to answer: "Chu is also brother, my father..."

Sakunosuke Oda saw that the conversation was going to be endless, so he immediately interrupted the conversation between the two of them: "Sleep."

Natsume and Nakahara quickly closed their eyes.

The next day, the three of them met Akashiyo at the tram entrance.

Today is still a school day, so Akashi asked the school for a day off.

Unlike the students who came and went in school uniforms, Akashi was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt.Because I bought it at the mall for [-] yen each, the quality is not good, and wearing it alone will reveal my skin color, so Akashi also wore a black long-sleeved shirt underneath, which is refreshing and bright.When he stopped by the side of the road, many people cast their gazes in his direction.

Akashi ignored the prying eyes of his surroundings, adjusted his decorative black-rimmed glasses, and continued to check the time with his mobile phone."I'm leaving the tram exit" appeared on the phone screen, Akashi picked up the bag at his feet and looked towards the tram exit——

The tall figure of Oda Sakunosuke appeared in the crowd against the current, his hair was a little disheveled, and his thin face continued to maintain a harmless expression.At this moment, his eyes are fixed on the child who is struggling to see the steps going down the stairs, and his hands are kept stretched forward to prevent the child from falling down the slightly steep stairs.

Next to them was a Chufa teenager wearing a parent-child outfit of the same series.

When Akashi noticed him, Nakahara also saw Akashi.

Although the two teenagers have communicated in the group, this is the first time they have met.As their eyes intertwined, the two secretly marveled at each other's appearance.Akashi has a handsome appearance and outstanding temperament, and the ordinary clothes on his body also wear the exquisite, elegant and elegant style of fashion magazines; and Nakahara Chu is born from his heart, showing a pure and clean boy from the inside to the outside The breath, the blue of the eyes are exactly the same as the lake of Windermere in England, and it is unforgettable to see.

The two nodded to each other as a greeting.

Akashi turned his attention to Oda Sakunosuke who was walking up to him, and said in an irresistible tone: "Read these books."

"I see."

Oda Sakunosuke took it from Akashi's hand obediently, and before he could tell him that he might delay his dream of becoming a novelist, Akashi said: "I have accepted the special admission invitation of Luoshan High School here, and I have worked hard Now, don't slack off."

Natsume looked at Oda Sakunosuke and Akashi suspiciously, not knowing what they were talking about.

Akashi pointed at Oda, and told Natsume: "He is going to be a novelist, don't let him be lazy. After the last submission, he has no ambition at all. Your task is to watch him read and write every day."

"Oh oh oh." Natsume nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"..." Oda Sakunosuke completely missed the opportunity to speak, so he could only answer honestly, "I see."

"..."

Sure enough, Mr. Sakunosuke and Akashi have a really good relationship, and Akashi knows what Mr. Sakunosuke looks like.Seeing the three talking and laughing, Zhong Yuan inexplicably had mixed emotions.

As expected, Akashi is someone who is valued by Sakunosuke.

Akashi watched Nakahara and Oda Natsume wearing parent-child outfits together, and the feeling of being an outsider became more and more obvious.It was the first time he had heard that Oda wanted to stay alone at home.

It seems that Oda really likes Nakahara.

"Then let's go to the Kyoto Aquarium first? Shall we go there by train or by bus?"

Just as Oda finished speaking, the voices of Akashi and Nakahara sounded at the same time.

Akashi: "Trains are faster."

Zhong Yuan: "The guidebook says there are direct buses."

The two looked at each other as soon as they finished speaking, their moods had not been sorted out yet, and at the same time they looked in the direction of Oda Sakunosuke, letting him make a decision.

At this time, Natsume, who was ready to listen to the words of the big brothers, was ready to go at any time, but his eyes were attracted by the thick pancake shop not far away.Seeing this, Oda Sakunosuke suggested, "Let's eat pancakes first?"

"Okay/um."

The two 15-year-old boys responded at the same time, and looked at the dancing Natsume.

——The key point is Natsume.

Akashi was walking in the direction of the pancake shop, when he suddenly heard a member of the school basketball team shouting in his direction: "Captain, Captain Akashi! You skipped class today!! Take me with you! !!" As he spoke, he still wanted to run over.

Fortunately, he still wears glasses, is he still so recognizable?

Akashi's back stiffened for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan followed the sound and found the owner of the sound.He just raised his finger, Hayama Kotaro's eyes were instantly fascinated by the dust, and he could only stand still and rub his eyes.When he looked up, Hayama Kotaro couldn't find Akashi, and muttered to himself: "I clearly saw Captain Akashi." Seeing that school time was approaching, Hayama had to leave in the opposite direction first.

Watching Hayama Kotaro leave in the shop, Akashi thanked him, "Thank you."

"No thanks." Zhong Yuan said.

This is when they set off, the three of them agreed in the group to help each other.

However, Akashi is fine.

What should I do with the jerk?

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Akashi: Good looking, pure character, really is the type that Oda would like→_→

Central Plains: Long Zhangfeng posture, outstanding temperament, worthy of being the most trusted person of Sakunosuke←_←

Jiao Dong: ...Don't worry about these things, save me first.
