LOVE CATCH

There is a response.

"That... I'm here to pay back what you forgot"

The other party still didn't move.Don't you even want to see your own face?

"I hung it on the doorknob. Good night, then"

When Shibuya walked back, he heard a voice that was almost dissipated: "I'm sorry to ask you to come here on purpose." Besides, Horiuchi didn't say anything.

After returning home, Shibuya kept thinking about Horiuchi.Although I didn't want to do this, my mind was a little disobedient.Horiuchi was hit because Osaki knew about it. Although he really wanted to put the matter aside quietly, he couldn't help but want to send an email to Horiuchi.Although I did tell Osaki about the wig, I definitely didn't mean to laugh at him, so please believe in yourself.Then Shibuya sent this long email oozing with self-justification.

After waiting for a long time, I still haven't received a reply.It must have been such a long email.Even if it's just a sentence, at least say something.Even if he went to Horiuchi's apartment now, the other party would not see him.Is it really that angry?

After waiting for about an hour, Shibuya finally received a reply.Shibuya took a deep breath, it must have been horrible to read if Horiuchi was yelling at himself in the email.Shibuya mustered up the courage to open the mail.

"Please don't worry too much"

Just this one short line.It is too short, whether it is a sigh or anger, it cannot be conveyed.Horiuchi couldn't care less.It's obviously okay to be angry with yourself, but it's too weird to pretend like nothing happened like this.But it was said in the email, let yourself not care about it, so Shibuya can't reply now.

The next day, Horiuchi contacted Kosugi, saying that he had a cold and wanted to rest.Obviously there was no sign of a cold yesterday.Maybe it's because of the wig that I don't want to come to the company.This is also a matter of course.

Osaki told Kosugi about seeing the president's wig blown away yesterday.

"Really?" Xiaoshan sighed.

"Because I was still laughing at the time... Is that why the president asked for leave?"

By now Osaki's eyes were moist.Xiaoshan patted her trembling shoulder.

"It's not Osaki's fault. You didn't just want to see it. What happened yesterday was just an accident."

"I know that the president is very sensitive in this regard, and I know that I can't laugh, but in the end I couldn't hold back..."

"This kind of thing is equivalent to scratching your nest. It's hard not to laugh. So don't pay too much attention to it."

Shibuya also comforts Osaki.

"Yes." Xiaoshan put her hands on her waist.

"Last time, the president took a full week off after being laughed at by a child. This time, wait for two or three days and see what happens."

Everyone just started working in a heavy atmosphere.Because Horiuchi was not around, Shibuya had no time to pick up the body by himself, so Kosugi joined the battle urgently.In the morning, I managed to barely make it through.But Kosugi couldn't leave the cremation furnace in the afternoon. No matter how hard Shibuya tried alone, he still couldn't catch up with the scheduled time.So, Shibuya listened to Osaki's command on the phone, and just survived the day with team fighting.Although I am so busy that my eyes are rolling, but to be honest, it is great to be busy.In this way, there is no extra time to think about other things.

After work, Shibuya wondered whether to visit Horiuchi.Although he may be pretending to be sick, the possibility that he is really sick is not ruled out.It's a little embarrassing what happened yesterday, maybe Horiuchi doesn't want to see himself at all.Thinking about it so gloomily in the end, Shibuya still didn't go.

In the kitchen, Shibuya concentrated on washing the bowls that the little devils left after eating.Looking at the slippery bowl, Shibuya thought of a bald head.I hurriedly chased away the delusions in my mind, but I slowly remembered the feeling of touching my bald head. ...Will he come to work tomorrow?

"Brother Shou" didn't notice that he was standing next to him, Shibuya was startled and called out.

"Is Xiaoyu okay?"

Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu... Shibuya read it several times before he remembered that it was the name of the cat that was picked up by Rang.Horiuchi asked for leave after taking it away, so Shibuya didn't know the current situation of the kitten.

"The current kitten is taken care of by the president. He is very good at taking care of cats, so there is no problem. Have you found an owner?"

Jean shook his head.

"Ah Guang and Dashu don't want to keep a cat. The teacher at the school said he would ask his friends for help."

It looks like you've reached a dead end.

"The president is rich, right? Can't he raise Xiaoyu?"

"He already has two kittens. It's going to be hard to get another one."

"Really?" Jean bowed his head, then went back to the living room and continued to paint his "Super cute cat! Adopt it!" poster in ugly letters.

... cats ... yes, cats.As long as it is said that it is to visit the cat, it is a legitimate reason to visit Horiuchi.But will this excuse be exposed? After all, Horiuchi doesn't want to go see him by himself.

Tomoya went into the kitchen, turned on the water in the sink, and sipped it.Because there is no such thing as a water dispenser at home.

"Can I spare you a moment?"

Tomoya turned his head with a troubled look on his face.

"What do you think of going to see him who is sick when you have already broken up with your lover?"

Zhi also looked surprised.

"I mean what if."

Tomoya snorted and shrugged.

"It depends on the situation. If it's a woman who broke up because she didn't like it, wouldn't it be annoying to visit her? If it's a woman who dumped herself, it's better not to go"

"...If it's someone you still like very much, you should be very happy to visit me."

"That's why I said no. It's obviously sympathy."

pity.That's not true.In the end, Shibuya still didn't contact Horiuchi, and just held his phone and looked at it all night.

As expected, Horiuchi did not come to work the next day.

"It doesn't seem like an excuse to rest, it looks like she's really sick." Xiaoshan hugged her wrist worriedly.

"I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it looked like I had a cold. (Original: Xia Fengxie easily catches a cold in summer.) The president should also rest tomorrow. After two days of rest, he should have gotten better."

At first, I speculated that the president was looking for an excuse to skip work. I am really sorry.On that day, after work, Osaki said that he was going to visit Horiuchi.Although he wanted to go with him, Horiuchi felt that he and Osaki were laughing at him before. If he went with Osaki now, Horiuchi would definitely feel uncomfortable seeing him.And I kept thinking about what Tomoya said, "This is obviously sympathy", and in the end I asked Osaki to convey the greetings that I was also worried about Horiuchi.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Shibuya called Osaki.Carefully inquired about Horiuchi's situation.Osaki replied, "It's really, really serious"

"Although I only said a few words at the entrance, the president looked like he was about to collapse. I went to visit him, but now I feel very sorry."

If the situation was really bad, maybe Horiuchi didn't eat well.In addition, he is not good at cooking, so he usually goes to convenience stores to eat.I want to make something nutritious for him to eat.Although he didn't want to see his face, he might eat the bento he made.

Let's deliver a bento to Horiuchi tomorrow morning.Prepare a special bento that is full of nutrition early.Shibuya went to sleep in peace.Then it was shaken up in the middle of the night.

"Brother Shou, your phone is ringing"

The sleeping brain suddenly woke up, and Shibuya sat up.Mother is at home tonight, so who could it be? Shibuya looked at the phone, and the phone number of Horiuchi was displayed on the screen.Shibuya jumped up from the bed and ran to the outside of the corridor to answer the phone.

"Holding, sorry...calling in the middle of the night"

"What's the matter, are you serious now!"

"Little guy..." Horiuchi muttered softly.

After leaving the bicycle downstairs in the apartment, Shibuya couldn't wait to take the elevator and ran upstairs directly.He rang the doorbell outside Horiuchi's house.no response.He knew it was locked, but Shibuya turned the door handle, and the door opened unexpectedly.

Shibuya enters this too careless home.The room was dark and filled with the pungent stench of cat droppings and cat urine.Turning on the light at the entrance, Shibuya walked in while calling Horiuchi's name.Startled as soon as he stepped into the kitchen, Horiuchi collapsed under the sink.Wearing the pajamas I'm used to, with a bald head...

"No, it's okay"

Shibuya moved closer to Horiuchi and picked him up.The two cats around were meowing as if worried.

"Then, that little guy is on... the sofa..."

Shibuya saw the ugly kitten wrapped in a towel in the cage under the sofa.Shibuya touched it, and the kitten didn't twitch or move.

"Quick, hurry to the hospital..."

The situation of the kitten is not objective, and I want to take it to the hospital by myself... Horiuchi said so on the phone.

"But I'm more worried about Mr. Horiuchi"

"I was just dizzy in a hurry"

"but……"

"Save that child. It's still so young, it's going to die soon..."

Tears welled up in Horiuchi's eyes.

"I, my own situation is not very good, so I haven't noticed..."

Shibuya hugged Horiuchi.

"I, I'm fine..."

Shibuya could feel Horiuchi's body temperature even with his clothes on.Put the man on the bed in the bedroom and cover him with a sheet.

"I'm taking the kitten to the hospital right now"

"I'm sorry." Horiuchi closed his eyes.

Shibuya returned to the living room and called the veterinary hospital where he was diagnosed the day before yesterday.
