Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

In the darkness, his gaze locked onto the familiar Maserati.

The car's lines are smooth and elegant, and the black paint shimmers with a captivating luster under the lights, resembling a leopard poised to pounce.

He walked to the car, gently stroked the body, and felt the unique texture of the Maserati.

He opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and felt as if the softness and comfort of the seat were tailor-made for him.

He took a deep breath; the mixed scent of leather and wood inside the car gave him a strange sense of peace.

He started the car, and the deep, powerful engine sound echoed in the parking lot, as if Maserati was calling to him.

He gently turned the steering wheel, and the car sped out of the parking space like an arrow.

Before driving out of the parking lot, he checked the situation behind him using the rearview mirror to make sure it was safe.

As the Maserati merged into the flow of traffic in the night, Kitahara Makoto felt an indescribable sense of confidence and power.

He knew that this Maserati was not just a car, but a symbol of his status and position.

It represents his pursuit of quality of life and his desire for speed and passion.

He turned on the car stereo, and a melodious tune echoed in the car.

He swayed gently to the rhythm of the music, and his mood gradually relaxed.

He knew that no matter how many challenges and difficulties lay ahead, he would drive this Maserati forward bravely to safeguard the company's development.

And so, Kitahara Makoto drove his Maserati home through the night.

Kitahara Makoto sped through the night in his Maserati, the scenery outside the window rushing past like a movie.

Inside the car, Jay Chou's "All the Way North" played softly, its melodious and heartfelt tune seemingly blending perfectly with the night and the car's speed.

"The street view keeps receding."

Your breakdown is fragmented outside the window.

I head north, leaving behind the season that held you.

You said you were so tired that you couldn't fall in love with anyone anymore.

The wind blows on the mountain road.

"All the past events were my fault."

I'm ashamed to say how many times I've hurt you.

"The world in the rearview mirror ~ a farewell that grows ever more distant."

As the music played, Kitahara Makoto gradually became immersed in it.

The Maserati sped through the night, seemingly echoing the melody in the music.

Kitahara gripped the steering wheel tightly, feeling the speed and passion of the 333.

His heart raced with the rhythm of the music, as if the whole world was under his control.

The streetlights on both sides of the road flashed by quickly, making the Maserati's body even brighter.

Kitahara Makoto seemed to be in a world that belonged only to him, blending into the music, the vehicles, and the night.

He forgot his fatigue and the pressure of work, wanting only to travel north and enjoy this unique freedom and pleasure.

As the music gradually came to an end, Kitahara Shinya was about to arrive home.

He sighed softly, as if exhaling all the fatigue and stress of the day.

Chapter 181 Mai: I'll get you my pajamas

Not a moment.

Kitahara Makoto drove his Maserati slowly into his own seaside villa area.

In the darkness, the lights of the villa area twinkled like stars, illuminating the way home. He skillfully turned the steering wheel and parked the car steadily in his own parking space.

The car door opened, and Kitahara Makoto stepped out, taking a deep breath and enjoying the fresh sea breeze of the night.

He looked up and saw that his own sea-view villa looked particularly solemn and elegant in the night.

The tall floor-to-ceiling windows let in warm light, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding tranquility.

Kitahara Makoto walked briskly toward the villa's gate.

Kitahara Makoto pushed open the door and stepped into the house, a warm and familiar atmosphere wafting towards him.

The interior decoration is luxurious yet tasteful, with every detail revealing the owner's taste and style.

Kitahara Makoto took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door, his gaze naturally sweeping across the living room.

There, he saw Mai Sakurajima, his girlfriend, leisurely eating snacks while intently watching the television screen.

Mai Sakurajima was wearing comfortable loungewear, her hair casually pulled back, revealing her fair neck.

Her face was filled with a satisfied and joyful expression, as if she were completely immersed in the plot of the TV series.

She held a bag of snacks in her hand, occasionally putting a bite into her mouth and making satisfied chewing sounds.

Kitahara Shin smiled slightly, walked quietly to Sakurajima Mai's side, and sat down on the sofa next to her.

He reached out and gently put his arm around her shoulder, asking tenderly:

"What are you looking at so intently? You didn't even notice I came back."

Mai Sakurajima turned around and saw that it was Makoto Kitahara who had returned, and a surprised smile appeared on her face.

She patted her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I was so engrossed in what I was watching. You're back! How was work today?"

Kitahara Shin gently shook his head, indicating that the work was going relatively smoothly.

He pointed to the television screen and asked curiously:

Is this TV series good? It makes you so fascinated.

Mai Sakurajima nodded and said excitedly:

"It's super good! The plot is fast-paced and the actors' performances are superb. I just saw the climax, it was so tense and exciting."

Kitahara Shin, caught up in her excitement, smiled and asked:

"Can I watch it with you? Or can we do something else together?"

???????

Mai Sakurajima thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Okay, let's watch it together. But you have to get me some snacks first, I'm almost done eating."

Kitahara Shin smiled and stood up, picked up a new bag of snacks from the coffee table, and handed it to Sakurajima Mai.

The two sat back down on the sofa and watched TV together, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

After a cozy movie-watching experience, Kitahara Makoto gradually felt a bit tired.

He glanced at Mai Sakurajima and found that she was still engrossed in the TV series, focused and absorbed.

He smiled slightly and decided to take a shower first, then prepare to rest.

Kitahara Shin stood up, gently patted Sakurajima Mai's shoulder, and said softly:

"~Mai, I'm getting a little tired after watching for a while. (Okay, okay) I'm going to take a shower and then go to sleep. If you want to continue watching, finish this episode and get some rest too."

Sakurajima Mai turned around and, seeing Kitahara Makoto's slightly tired expression, immediately asked with concern:

"What's wrong? Are you too tired from work? Go take a shower, I'll get you some pajamas."

Kitahara Shin shook his head and smiled, saying, "No need to trouble yourself, I can do it myself. You can focus on watching your drama."

After saying that, he walked towards the bathroom and gently closed the door.

Chapter 182 Mai: Did you sleep well last night?

The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Kitahara Makoto stood under the shower, feeling the comfort of the hot water washing over his body.

He closed his eyes, letting his fatigue wash away with the water. After showering, he changed into comfortable pajamas and stepped out of the bathroom.

At this moment, Mai Sakurajima had finished watching the TV series and was tidying up the snack bags on the coffee table.

When she saw Kitahara Makoto come out, she immediately went up to him and asked with concern:

"Finished washing? How do you feel? Feeling better now?"

Kitahara Makoto smiled and nodded, saying:

"Mmm, that feels much better. Thank you, Mai. You should get some rest too, you have to go to work tomorrow."

333

Mai Sakurajima nodded, and the two walked towards the bedroom together.

Kitahara Makoto lay on the bed, stretched, and felt completely relaxed.

Mai Sakurajima tucked him in, gently kissed his forehead, and then lay down herself.

The two embraced and fell asleep in the warm room.

..................

The next morning.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, dappling the bedroom floor.

Kitahara Makoto slowly opened his eyes, feeling the tranquility and warmth of the morning.

He turned his head and saw that Mai Sakurajima was still fast asleep, her face looking serene and beautiful in the morning light.

Kitahara Shin gently reached out and stroked Sakurajima Mai's hair, his heart filled with tenderness and contentment.

He watched her quietly, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

Kitahara Shin got up quietly, not wanting to disturb Sakurajima Mai, who was still dreaming.

He went into the bathroom and began to wash up. The sound of running water filled the air as he turned on the tap. The water washed over his face, washing away the fatigue of the previous night.

He squeezed some toothpaste onto his toothbrush and began to brush his teeth carefully, his mouth filled with a refreshing minty flavor.

After washing up, Kitahara Makoto changed into a clean set of clothes and went back to his bedroom.

At this moment, Mai Sakurajima also woke up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and saw that Makoto Kitahara had already gotten ready, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

Good morning, Mai. Did you sleep well?

Kitahara asked gently.

Mai Sakurajima nodded and said with a smile:

"Yes, I slept very well. How about you?"

Kitahara Shin replied with a smile:

"Me too. I feel like today is a wonderful day."

Mai Sakurajima nodded and continued:

"Hmm, you slept very well. Why did you get up so early?"

Kitahara Shin replied with a smile:

"I want to get up early to prepare breakfast so we can enjoy it together."

Mai Sakurajima felt a warmth in her heart after hearing this. She knew that Makoto Kitahara was always so thoughtful and considerate, always thinking of her.

After getting up, the two went into the kitchen together to prepare breakfast.

Kitahara Makoto skillfully fried the eggs, while Sakurajima Mai prepared bread and milk on the side.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food, making people feel incredibly warm and happy.

After breakfast, a warm and peaceful atmosphere filled Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai's home.

Sunlight streamed through the window onto the dining table, and the two smiled at each other, as if the whole world was filled with sweetness.

Kitahara Makoto stood up, picked up his briefcase and car keys, and prepared to leave for the company.

He turned to Mai Sakurajima and said:

"Mai, I'm going to the company now. Take your time packing, don't overwork yourself."
