【Jiu Ci】It's all true love, don't compare

Chapter 8 08

Jiu Tun threw the car keys on the cabinet and let out a breath.

He walked into the room, unbuttoned his shirt one by one, leaned against the table and poured a glass of water.The cool water slid down his throat, finally diluting a little bit of the boredom that was entrenched in his heart.

I ate lunch with Ibaraki near the company. There is a famous Thai restaurant here. He and Arakawa have visited many times.The seafood is as fresh as ever, the beef in the curry is stewed crispy, the coconut milk is just right, the light is soft, the music is brisk, and the lemongrass exudes a fresh and refreshing smell in the cup. It stands to reason that everything is perfect, so it affects The dining experience can only be the guy sitting across from him.

Speaking of which, it was not the first time he had dinner with Ibaraki at the same table. The last time he entertained each other for dinner at home, the food was simple and the environment was nothing special, but Jiu Tun remembered that it was still a pleasant dinner, and they chatted naturally. Chatting nonsense while eating, obviously not familiar, but without any sense of restraint.Comparing the two sides, today's meal was so overwhelming that he couldn't taste it—Ibaraki acted very strangely, and it could be seen that he was trying to find a relaxed way to get along with each other, but the restraint in his expression couldn't deceive anyone. Ibaraki probably wasn't good at hiding his emotions. Shuten, who was familiar with the opponent's usual state, could see through his thoughts at a glance, but he didn't bother to say it.It seems that ever since they left that conference room, there has been a sense of distance between them, which is vague but real—this is also a matter of course. Shuten knew from the beginning that Ibaraki was his loyal reader, but he did not expect that Such an identity label can have such a huge impact on Ibaraki.Shuten himself has never been fanatically fond of anything since he can remember, and he can't understand the feeling of facing idols, so he has no way of knowing whether Ibaraki's state is normal. All he can understand is that he doesn't like Ibaraki. An overly eager and cautious look.

The wine swallowed and rubbed his forehead, raised his head and drank the water in the glass in one gulp.

Whether it's Ibaraki or the new job, no matter which one is a headache, he decided to take a nap first to recover some energy.

This sleep lasted until dusk.

Shuten washed his face and began to organize the manuscript.The length of the novel is too long, and it is not easy for the original author to make a script from the perspective that suits the screen expression. In order not to delay the progress, it is better to prepare early.

He hastily reviewed the content of the first volume according to the outline, and remembered that the notes at that time were on the shelf, so he got up to get them.When passing by the sofa, he casually looked down at the hamster cage and was taken aback for a moment.

The cage door is open.

Jiu Tun squatted down to inspect for a while, and after confirming that the yellow fur ball was no longer in the cage, he raised his head and looked around.

Before he went to bed, he saw the fur ball rolling on the small slide, but he didn't check it after he got up, and he didn't hear any abnormal sounds. He speculated that the prison escape happened when he was taking a nap.The door to the bedroom was kept closed, the gap should not be large enough for it to pass through, the same for the bathroom...that is to say, it is very likely that it is still in this room.

So the question is, how to find it?

Under the couch...no.

Under the bookshelf...no.

Behind the wine cabinet... the cabinet is too full to move away and look at it.

……

Shuten straightened up from the floor, and angrily pushed back the red hair that fell from his forehead, feeling that it was really uneasy and inefficient.If when he was concentrating on looking at one place, the thing swaggered and changed its hiding place, wouldn't he never want to find it?

He sat on the floor and struggled for a while, then took out his mobile phone and dialed the only person who could help him at this time.

That person did not live up to his expectations, knocking on the door within 5 minutes.

"found it?"

"No, why is this thing so troublesome, and will open the door to escape?"

Alcohol was very irritable.

"The structure of the cage door is too simple, and my family also escaped," Ibaraki looked around, "won't it run to other rooms?"

"probably not."

"Okay, it's okay, I'll try here first."

Ibaraki sat down on the floor and spread out his palms, Shuten noticed that there was a handful of pine nuts inside.He poured the pine nuts on the floor in front of him, and called Jiu Tun again: "Shouldn't the lights be turned off?"

Jiu Tun already roughly understood what he was going to do, turned off the light, walked over, and sat down beside him.

"It may take a long time, so don't make a sound."

Ibaraki fell silent after finishing speaking, Shuten also fell silent, and no one spoke again.The room was very quiet, and the clear moonlight shone through the window, illuminating the space in front of them. Ibaraki sat cross-legged, half of his body immersed in the bright white moonlight, staring at the small pile of pine nuts with a relaxed expression, as if the bird that was running away The little guy is already under his control.

Shuten had never seen such a quiet Ibaraki before, and they were sitting very close, so Shuten observed each other openly.Probably not long after taking a bath, Ibaraki was wearing pajamas, and his hair was still moist with moisture. It was not as fluffy as usual, but hung down against his forehead. From this distance, he could vaguely smell a cool mint-like scent.Because of the light color, his eyes were bright in the moonlight.As if aware that he was being watched, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Shuten for no reason.

Jiu Tun was about to say something, but a rustling sound came from his ear.

The two turned their heads at the same time, only to see a fluffy thing rubbing its way from the side of the sofa, crawling to the side of the pine nut pile, looking around furtively for a moment, then leaning forward to smell it, then standing up, with two hands in front of it. Claw picked up a pine nut.

Ibaraki next to him jumped out suddenly, the movement was so fast that Shuten didn't see anything clearly, only felt a white shadow passing by the corner of his eyes.When he blinked, Ibaraki got up from the ground, turned around, grabbed the yellow fur ball with one hand, and handed it to him as if asking for credit.

"Look!"

And what is Jiu Tun looking at at this time?

Looking at the center of the dark room, seeing the moonlight pouring in from the window like water, seeing the excited and proud smile on Ibaraki's face amidst the silver light.That smile was so dazzling that he was in a trance for a moment. The cool and soft moonlight took advantage of the void and filled his heart, and then flowed along the blood vessels to his limbs, hazy, soft, cool and quiet, lightly surrounding him. his whole body.

"what happened?"

Ibaraki shook his hand suspiciously, Shuten came back to his senses, and turned his attention to the hamster struggling desperately in his hand.

"It's nothing...thanks."

Jiuten stretched out his hand, and Ibaraki also handed it over. In order to prevent the hamster from running away again, Ibaraki held it very firmly, so Jiuten had to wrap his palm around Ibaraki's hand, and clasp the hamster's head with his thumb. At the same time, Ibaraki also slowly Slowly pull the fingers away from the bottom until the whole hand comes out of Jiu Tun's palm.

When the handover was completed, Jiu Tun subconsciously tightened his fingers, the little fur ball and the heat from the other palm were struggling in his palm, desperately trying to get out of the shackles.

"Here."

Ibaraki had already brought the cage over, Shuten threw the fur ball into the cage, locked the door, and looked up as usual when he raised his head.

"It's been a mess all night, really... It seems that it needs to be changed to a cage."

He put the cage back in its place complaining, turned around and said:

"I owe you another favor."

"Nothing, I am very happy to help the teacher."

Izuku grinned.

Jiu Tun remained silent, looked at him for a while, and saw that he slowly retracted his smile, replaced by a look of inexplicability, and then slowly opened his mouth:

"Don't call me that anymore. I am serious. If you are disobedient..." He stretched out his voice, "I will unilaterally expel you from your fan status."

Ibaraki shivered and nodded honestly.

"good."

Shuten pursed his lips in satisfaction.

After seeing off Ibaraki and Shuten returned to the workbench, the clock had already pointed to nine o'clock.The pine nuts on the floor had been swept away, and the restored quiet room looked empty.

He leaned back in his chair and opened the document, but he was not in the mood for work anymore.

"Forget it, that's it for today, no more updates."
