Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

His eyes revealed determination and seriousness. Despite dropping out of school at a young age to work, he still worked hard to maintain the restaurant's daily operations.

Suddenly, a sweet and lovely girl named Ying Xiaoyao appeared on the screen. Her innocent smile and clear eyes immediately caught Ke Shouchun's attention.

As their interactions increased, Ke Shouchun found himself instinctively standing up for Ying Xiaoyao whenever she was bullied.

The film's scenes shift from the hustle and bustle of the restaurant to the cozy moments the two share alone.

Their relationship gradually warmed up in this subtle atmosphere, with an ambiguous feeling permeating between them.

However, Ke Shouchun doesn't understand what love is. He (cecj) only knows that he has a special feeling for Ying Xiaoyao, like wanting to protect his younger sister.

As time went on, gossip began to spread, which greatly troubled Ke Shou-chen.

He didn't understand why people were looking at him so strangely; he just wanted to maintain a simple relationship with Ying Xiaoyao.

However, his inner struggle and unease grew stronger.

Just then, Ke Shouchun received news from his hometown that his grandfather had passed away.

This news was a huge blow to him, and he had to leave the restaurant and Ying Xiaoyao to return to his hometown to handle his grandfather's funeral.

This sudden turn of events has complicated their relationship once again.

In the movie, Ke Shouchun and Ying Xiaoyao went through many twists and turns and hardships, but in the end they were not able to be together.

Ke Shouchun returned to his hometown, while Ying Xiaoyao remained at the restaurant.

Although their story ended in tragedy, their feelings for each other became the most precious memories in each other's hearts.

The scene returns to reality...

As the movie began and the lights gradually dimmed, Kitahara Makoto did not seem to be fully immersed in the world of the film.

His eyelids began to feel heavy, and soon he drifted off to sleep.

Mai Sakurajima sat next to him, her eyes glued to the big screen.

Her gaze shifted with the ups and downs of the movie plot, as if she were the naive girl Ying Xiaoyao in the story.

When she saw Ke Shouchun stepping forward to protect Ying Xiaoyao time and time again, tears welled up in her eyes, and a strong sense of resonance surged in her heart.

As time goes on, the emotional entanglements in the film become more intense, and Mai Sakurajima's emotions become increasingly difficult to control.

She sobbed softly, tears streaming down her cheeks and wetting the tissue in her hand.

Despite the presence of other viewers, she felt as if she were in another world, completely immersed in the film's story.

Kitahara Shin, however, was completely unaware of this. He slept quietly, occasionally letting out soft snores, a stark contrast to Sakurajima Mai's sobs.

Mai Sakurajima didn't wake him; instead, she chose to continue watching the movie silently.

Chapter 193 The movie may have ended, but our story continues.

She knew that everyone had their own emotional world, and that Kitahara Makoto might be searching for his own story in his dreams at this moment.

She only hoped that after the movie ended, she could share her feelings with him, even though he might not have fully understood.

Finally, as the movie neared its end, the words "The End" appeared on the big screen. Mai Sakurajima wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and gently shook Makoto Kitahara awake.

Kitahara Shin opened his eyes in a daze, seemingly not yet fully awake from his dream.

He looked at Mai Sakurajima and noticed her moist eyes and the used tissue in her hand, which surprised him.

"What... what's wrong?" Kitahara Shin asked softly.

Mai Sakurajima smiled and shook her head, saying softly, "It's nothing, I was just moved by the movie."

Kitahara Makoto smiled awkwardly and didn't press the matter further.

The lights slowly came on, and the audience began to leave one after another.

Just as Kitahara Makoto was preparing to leave with Sakurajima Mai.

However, just as they were about to get up, the big screen suddenly lit up again.

It turns out that the filmmakers left the audience with an unexpected Easter egg.

White subtitles slowly appear against a black background:

"When love comes again, you should learn to love slowly."

These words were like a gentle command, instantly striking the hearts of Sakurajima Mai and Kitahara Makoto.

Mai Sakurajima stopped in her tracks, her gaze fixed on the screen, tears welling up in her eyes again.

She recalled the story of Ke Shouchun and Ying Xiaoyao in the movie, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

She understands that love is not something that can be achieved overnight, but rather something that needs to be savored and nurtured slowly.

Kitahara Shinya saw the subtitles on the screen, and he was a little stunned. Then he turned to look at Sakurajima Mai.

He noticed the tears in her eyes, and a strange emotion welled up inside him.

He reached out and gently put his arm around Mai Sakurajima's shoulder, offering her silent comfort.

The two stood quietly in the movie theater, watching the subtitles on the screen slowly disappear.

They knew that this sentence was not only a message to the characters in the movie, but also a warm reminder to every viewer and every couple.

They secretly resolved to cherish every love that came their way, and to learn to love slowly and savor the sweetness and bitterness of love.

Mai Sakurajima's mind was still preoccupied with that Easter egg subtitle; her steps were slightly heavy, as if she was deep in thought.

Kitahara Shin, on the other hand, seemed more relaxed. He gently held Sakurajima Mai's hand, offering her strength and comfort.

They walked through the dimly lit corridor to the exit of the movie theater.

·····Requesting flowers··········

The cool night air seeped in through the crack in the door, instantly invigorating him. Kitahara Makoto put on his coat and adjusted Sakurajima Mai's scarf to make sure she wasn't cold.

The two walked out of the movie theater side by side, surrounded by bustling crowds and flashing neon lights.

A gentle night breeze blew by, carrying a hint of freshness after the rain.

They didn't speak immediately, but walked quietly side by side on their way home, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

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

Gradually, Mai Sakurajima's mood calmed down. She looked up at the starry sky, took a deep breath, as if to release all her emotions.

Kitahara looked at her, a strange emotion welling up inside him.

He knew that Mai Sakurajima needed him at this moment, and he would always protect her.

The two continued walking until they finally came to a quiet street corner.

They stopped and smiled at each other. Kitahara Shin gently embraced Sakurajima Mai, as if wanting to pass on all his warmth to her.

Mai Sakurajima hugged him tightly, as if she had found someone to lean on.

And so, they embraced quietly under the streetlights, enjoying this rare moment of peace and happiness.

The movie may have ended, but our story continues.

Chapter 194 Going Home, I'll Make You Noodles

Mai Sakurajima gently pulled away from Makoto Kitahara's embrace, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a resolute light.

She turned and walked toward the luxury car parked to the side, her daily ride, which perfectly complemented her temperament.

Kitahara Shin followed behind her, his gaze never leaving her back.

He watched as she skillfully opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and then turned to smile at him. That smile, like a gentle spring breeze, warmed his heart even more.

Mai Sakurajima started the car, and the soft sound of the engine echoed in the quiet night.

She skillfully maneuvered the steering wheel, and the vehicle slowly drove away from the movie theater.

Kitahara Makoto sat in the passenger seat, his gaze following her every move, his heart filled with admiration and gratitude.

The car drove through the bustling streets and headed towards the suburbs.

The outline of the seaside villa gradually became clear in the distance; it was a luxurious residence located by the sea, facing the ocean, where spring is warm and flowers bloom.

The car drove into the villa's courtyard and came to a smooth stop in front of the garage.

Mai Sakurajima turned off the engine, and the two got out of the car together. The cool sea breeze of the night caressed their faces, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.

They walked side by side toward the villa's gate, which opened automatically, revealing a warm and peaceful home.

The warm, soft lights in their home illuminated their way home.

Mai Sakurajima and Makoto Kitahara walked into the villa together, their shadows gradually lengthening under the lamplight.

Looking at Mai Sakurajima's slightly tired face, Kitahara Makoto felt a surge of urge to take care of her.

He spoke gently, "Mai, you look a little tired. Shall I cook you a bowl of noodles?"

Mai Sakurajima looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes:

"Really? That's great, thank you, Kitahara."

Kitahara Makoto smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen was brightly lit, and he skillfully opened the cupboard and took out noodles and various seasonings.

He first boiled a kettle of water, and after it boiled, he gently put the noodles into the pot. The noodles rolled in the water, emitting an enticing aroma.

Mai Sakurajima heard the noise coming from the kitchen and went over out of curiosity.

She felt a warm feeling in her heart as she watched Kitahara Makoto's busy figure.

"Do you need help?"

she asked softly.

"No need, you can just sit and rest."

Kitahara Shin turned back and smiled at her before continuing with his work...

Soon, Kitahara Makoto began preparing the soup ingredients.

He took out fresh vegetables, washed and chopped them, and stir-fried them in a pot.

As the heat is controlled, the aroma of the vegetables gradually emerges, intertwining with the fragrance of the noodles, making it incredibly appetizing.

After the noodles were cooked, Kitahara Makoto scooped them out and put them into the prepared soup.

He carefully seasoned the noodles, ensuring that every bite was bursting with delicious flavor. Then, he gently carried the two bowls of noodles to the dining table in the living room.

Mai Sakurajima was already sitting at the table waiting. When she saw Makoto Kitahara carrying noodles over, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

The two sat facing each other and began to enjoy their simple dinner.

"These noodles are delicious, thank you Kitahara."

Sakurajima Maya 2.9 took a bite and praised it highly.

"As long as you like it."

Kitahara Makoto felt very satisfied looking at her smile.

They ate and chatted, discussing the plot of the movie and the deeper meaning of the Easter eggs and subtitles.

On this cozy night, they seemed to forget the hustle and bustle of the outside world, focusing only on each other and the delicious food in front of them.

After finishing the noodles, Kitahara Makoto voluntarily cleaned up the dishes and tidied the kitchen spotlessly.

Chapter 195 Kitahara Shin: Baby, wait for me!

Mai Sakurajima sat on the sofa, watching his back, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness.

"Kitahara, you're so kind."

she said softly.

"Fool, it's only right that I treat you well."

Kitahara Shin turned back and smiled at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.

After dinner, Mai Sakurajima and Makoto Kitahara headed to the bathroom together, ready to enjoy a relaxing bath.

Kitahara Shin spoke first, smiling as he said, "You go ahead and shower, I'll get your pajamas ready for you."

Sakurajima Mai glanced back at him, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Thank you, Kitahara."

She quietly entered the bathroom and closed the door. A moment later, the sound of running water could be heard from inside.
