Chapter 492 [Chapter 2] 52
A "ding" sounded in Liu Quan's mind, similar to the sound of a timer when the time is up!
Almost at the same time, there was a similar "ding" from Munakata Reishi's side——
The key, which was held tightly in the palm of the hand, suddenly lost any support, and fell straight to the ground, fell on the stepping stones in the courtyard with a ding, and rebounded soundlessly to the grass beside it.
Reji Munakata maintained that posture of leaning forward slightly to hug each other, and paused for a few seconds.
However, between his slightly curved arms, there was no one left.
He closed his eyes slightly, then slowly opened them again.
Afterwards, he slowly stood up straight, retracted his arms that were slightly outstretched forward, as if he was about to hug someone, and dropped them to his side.His back was straight and straight, and the bright sunlight that rose completely in the sky in the morning seemed to have coated his powerful side face with a layer of golden light.
He just stood silently in the beautifully trimmed courtyard of Munakata's house, raised his eyes slightly, and looked over the highest point of the courtyard wall, and fell into the clear blue sky today.
He stood there for a long time maintaining a posture in the courtyard, and did not pick up the key immediately, until a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Eh?! Reiji, where's your SCEPTER4 subordinate?! Wasn't he still in the yard just now?"
Reji Munakata did not turn his head, but continued to look at the beautiful blue sky today.
"……she left."
Munakata was taken aback. "Huh?! We've been waiting in the living room for you to leave together? Why didn't you say hello when you left early..."
However, his younger brother interrupted his doubts lightly.
"She has something to do. It has to be done."
Munakata was a little confused.However, his younger brother's style of giving orders as he pleases is also a manifestation of the superior in his opinion, and he has nothing to guide his younger brother in official affairs.So he sighed, and couldn't help rambling: "...Okay. Did you assign her to do things in such a hurry? I didn't say that, Lisi, you treat girls as big as you like. Like men, they call around day and night, and if this continues, they won’t be able to find a girlfriend—”
His younger brother interrupted him again in a mild, yet unquestioning manner.
"Brother, actually... Xinya-jun is not my current subordinate."
Munakata was stunned.
"Xin, Xinya-kun...?!"
There is a huge difference between this address and the way my younger brother called the SCEPTER4 deputy chief who was still sitting in the living room talking to their parents—also a young woman—"Awashima-kun". .
Although he is not as smart as his younger brother, this basic appellation problem belongs to social common sense, and of course Munakata Daisuke can clearly distinguish the reasons for this.
"Could it be...?!" He stared at his younger brother's silhouette and almost yelled.
His younger brother was finally willing to look away from the sky and turn to him.At that moment, he found a complex and subtle smile flashing across his younger brother's face.
"Hey." His younger brother said calmly, with a natural tone, as if saying "the weather is really nice today".
"As you guessed, brother, Xinya-kun is my marriage partner. However, today's incident happened in a hurry, and it is not the time to seriously report to the family. Therefore, I will bring her back with me in the future."
Daiji Munakata: "Uh..."
The elder brother was stunned for a full minute before exhaling a long breath.
"...So that's how it is." He said, suddenly looking away as if to cover up.
"No wonder your sister-in-law whispered to me just now... When she went to serve tea and passed a window, she happened to see you... Uh, you two, hugging and hugging in the courtyard..."
Although he was talking about his younger brother, Munakata Daisuke seemed to be ten times more embarrassed as an older brother than his younger brother, and his tone of speech stammered.
"So, that's why I... I thought of some excuses to stop, stop other people who wanted to visit the courtyard landscape design... Uh..."
He scratched at his hair in embarrassment, as if he didn't know how to proceed.
His younger brother seemed a little surprised when he heard the words, but when he saw his brother's embarrassing expression, his younger brother smiled slightly.
"I see. Thank you for taking care of me, brother. Thank you very much."
He actually leaned forward slightly to salute his elder brother, as if he was very polite.
Munakata is about to explode.
"No, you're welcome... Ah! Come on! It's not the time to talk about this!" He forced his voice down, and said in a rough voice as if trying to cover up something, "When will you bring Miss Xinya together next time?" Bring it back? I, I'm going to report it to my parents..."
"No." His younger brother shook his head and stopped him just in time.
"Please forgive me, brother. Please be considerate of my desire to report this matter to my parents personally, and keep it a secret for me for the time being."
Munakata's enthusiasm was dampened - but that's how his younger brother's paintings have been for years.So he didn't feel so disappointed, and instead excitedly asked about other topics he cared about.
"Okay... Ah, speaking of it, when you introduced her yesterday, you mentioned that she was also a student of Chaowei Middle School, a member of the Qingbu!" He said with a smile, "It was at that time Did you gradually get acquainted and start dating?"
In fact, his question is more or less narrow-minded.Because his younger brother has lived like a flawless temple statue for many years, more than perfect but a bit lacking in human touch. I heard that when he was in school, his interpersonal relationship was a bit bad because of this—because not many people dared to really approach him, To be friends with him—so it’s a bit strange that such a younger brother has been with a woman he knew in school until now and has become a lover...
Munakata hadn't finished thinking when he heard his younger brother's voice smiling slightly.
...The frightening truth was spoken lightly.
"Well," said his brother, "I pursued her. I asked her for a relationship, and she agreed—it was as simple as that."
Daisuke Munakata: "...No, this is not 'such a simple matter'!! So what is going on! I really want to know! Do you want to kill my brother!"
Although the elder brother is already in his early 30s, the childlike curiosity that surged in his heart at this moment almost overwhelmed him.
He he he heard right!His brother...er, "actively courting" a woman? !Should he believe his brother's words?It's true that my brother doesn't lie—at most, he often evades the important things when talking about some things he doesn't want to say—but this kind of thing feels too unreal no matter how it sounds...
His younger brother just slowly put his hands behind his back, and just stood there leisurely in the courtyard, with a smile as if caught in memory at the corner of his mouth.However, Daisuke Munakata had an illusion for no reason, that is, even though his younger brother was standing in such an elegant figure with his back straight in the bright morning sun, there was an inexplicable sense of strangeness faintly revealing from his body , as if the whole person is shrouded in some kind of shadow, and that shadow cannot be spoken to people, nor can it be easily eliminated——
Daisuke Munakata stared at his younger brother's side face incomprehensibly. He was always full of confidence and always raised his chin slightly. He stood in front of others with a strong aura, proving his own authority with a convincing posture. The younger brother who exists now lowers his eyes slightly, looking at a certain point under the bushes beside the path.Then, he subconsciously took two steps to the side, avoiding the cover of the bushes, and only then could he see clearly what his younger brother was watching.
Under the sunlight in the early morning, he seemed to see a small bright spot on the soil under the bushes—if he looked carefully, he could see that it was a key.The sun shone down on the key, making its surface glow with a metallic luminosity.
Munakata immediately forgot to ask about the love story between his younger brother and the young girl who left without saying goodbye.
He let out a surprised "Eh?!", walked over with a thud, and was about to bend down to pick up the key that he didn't know who belonged to.
"Where is this key? Who left it here?" He said doubtfully. Just as he was about to bend down, he heard the voice of his younger brother who was still standing on the path behind him.
"...that's the key to my apartment."
Munakata was taken aback for a moment, and his movements were also paused, and he turned his head to look at his younger brother. "Huh?! Now that you've found the key here, pick it up—it doesn't need scarab-catching skills, does it?"
He made a joke with the old stalk that he had talked about with the visiting guests yesterday, trying to use this hahaha attitude to counteract the somewhat weird melancholy feeling on his brother; After picking up the key, he rubbed it on his coat to wipe off the dirt on it, and then handed it back to his brother.
"Well, hold it carefully, don't lose it again." He chuckled, with lines like "I really can't do anything about you, do you still lose your keys when you're such a big man?" The idiot brother who dotes on his younger brother has an expression on his face, and casually seized the rare opportunity of his younger brother to lose his composure and complained.
"You must be too tired recently... In this world, it's not easy to do police work." Munakata said thoughtfully, and then he suddenly became happy again, with [Ah, my My younger brother is finally getting married! ] with a mysterious smile, reached out and patted his brother on the shoulder.
"Ah, speaking of it, there should be a good woman by your side to help you take care of these things."
"I think Miss Xinya is very good. Yumi also likes her very much. Last night when I was taking a bath, I talked about her and kept talking...Really, I thought that Yumi was too much With a lively personality, I would like and admire Ms. Awashima more, who became the deputy leader of your 'SCEPTER4' at a young age. She looks very capable and courageous. As a result, I did not expect that Han Mi was captured I like it, but it is such a kind and lovely Miss Xinya."
Munakata chief priest was talking to his younger brother about everyone's impression of Yanagi Izumi Xinya, as if he couldn't wait to show the whole Munakata family's affection for her.Although no one in the Munakata family except Daisuke Munakata knows that in the definition of the second son of the Munakata family, Miss Yanagizumi Shinya will also be a member of the Munakata family in the future; A very positive evaluation and a high degree of affection for this young girl.
Munakata Reishi gave a wry smile.
"Neither did I think..." he said.But what did he not think of?He didn't say anything after that.
Daisuke Munakata presumptuously guessed the unfinished words of his younger brother, and said with a smile: "However, Ms. Xinya seems to be the kind of good girl who is easy to be liked and trusted. And she has the elite sense of a big man." Compared with Ms. Awashima, Hami found it easier to get close to Ms. Shinya, who was fun to talk and seemed to like to laugh more. Thinking about it, it's not unbelievable—children's thoughts are sometimes so simple. Hey...that's not to say that Awashima-san isn't likable..."
The older brother added indiscriminately, causing Munakata Reishi to shake his head slightly.
"Awashima-kun, I won't mind this." He said solemnly, "Awashima-kun and Shinya-kun are both excellent women. They were also outstanding members of the Qingbu when they were in school. Grow strong and contribute your strength..."
Daisuke Munakata smiled wryly, crossing his hands in front of him in an "X" shape, cutting off the solemn and serious exposition below his younger brother; he scratched his hair, and forcibly changed the subject as if embarrassed.
"Cough... In short, children, some are as lively as Yumi, and of course there are some as gloomy as Kuai... But they are all cute!"
He scratched his hair again.
"Um... Reiji, you should hurry up and have a baby too. It's so cute!" He promoted (?) heartily in a tone similar to selling Amway.
His younger brother was slightly taken aback.
"……what?!"
Daisuke Munakata originally brought up the topic of children just to cover up his momentary slip of the tongue.However, seeing his younger brother's unprepared face, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious as an older brother.
"Well, why are you so surprised! You have a marriage partner now. So...well, isn't a child in your plan? You look so worrying!...Hey, but, from now on, you bastard Let Miss Xinya take care of it! The children's affairs too!"
Daisuke Munakata was chattering.
"Hey, let me tell you, Reiji—"
Maybe it was because the younger brother didn't answer for a long time, but the elder brother became worried again, and his voice raised an octave unconsciously.
As if suddenly awakened from his own thoughts at this moment, Munakata Reisi cast his eyes on his brother's face and hummed. "yes?"
Daisuke Munakata choked slightly at this understatement.He coughed, and then said seriously: "...Although my elder brother and my parents at home seem to have been unable to understand your hobbies and heart-sometimes, you will also suffer from it. Feel alone."
His younger brother raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he didn't understand why his brother suddenly brought up such a topic.
Daisuke Munakata paused at this point, his expression became more serious.
"...But now, I think we can finally rest assured. Because the Miss Xinya you chose will be able to fully understand your thoughts and give you the support you need most all the time—well, that's what I think .”
Munakata Reiji didn't seem to have expected his brother to say such a thing at all, and he unconsciously let out a "Huh?!" in his throat, showing a clear look of surprise.
And the elder brother standing opposite him has been rambling on about these homely topics since just now.Whenever his reaction was not to his brother's liking, the elder brother would keep on talking, and would call him "Miss Xinya" from time to time, as if doing so would make the younger brother obedient.
The corners of his lips curled up slowly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Well, thank you. I will think about what my brother said just now." He replied.Then, he lowered his head and stared at his right hand that was holding the key tightly.
The irregular edge of the key hurt his palm.The faint smile on his face became a little bit more obvious.
Then, he raised his eyes again, looking past his brother's smiling face at the clear blue sky today.
How long do we have to wait before we can wait for the next encounter?Xinya, you really left me a good question?
Just like the jigsaw puzzle that was finally completed after five years, even if the anticipation time is a little longer...even if sometimes it seems that day will never come——
However, those love novels he has researched will give readers a HAPPY ENDING.
Just like the song they danced to at the Christmas party five years ago, I don't like my ending if it's not with you—
So, just look up at the sky and look forward to the next meeting between you and me.
