Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

Kitahara Makoto stepped out of the bathroom, carrying a fresh scent.

He was wearing a loose bathrobe, his hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, water droplets dripping from the ends of his hair and leaving small water stains on the floor.

He walked into the living room and immediately saw Mai Sakurajima still sitting on the sofa, staring intently at the television screen.

Her eyes sparkled, as if she were deeply captivated by the world on television. Kitahara Makoto slowed his pace and quietly approached her, wanting not to disturb her.

However, Mai Sakurajima seemed to sense Makoto Kitahara's presence. She turned her head slightly and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

Kitahara Shinya smiled and responded to her, then walked to the side and picked up the hair dryer.

He plugged it in, pressed the switch, and the hair dryer began to hum.

Chapter 352 North: Mai, you stayed up all night?!

Kitahara Makoto sat on the sofa and began to blow-dry his hair. He gently aimed the hairdryer at his hair, and a warm stream of air instantly tousled his hair.

He would sometimes bend down to adjust the angle of the hairdryer, and sometimes gently run his fingers through his hair to make sure that every strand was blown.

While drying his hair, Kitahara Makoto kept glancing at Sakurajima Mai.

He felt a warmth in his heart when he saw Mai Sakurajima's focused expression and sparkling eyes.

He knew that Mai Sakurajima was completely absorbed in the world of television at that moment, and he didn't want to disturb her concentration.

Gradually, Kitahara Makoto's hair became dry and fluffy. He turned off the hairdryer, gently shook his head, and felt the lightness and comfort of his hair.

Then, he stood up, looking at Mai Sakurajima, still engrossed in the drama, his heart filled with love. (520)

Kitahara Shin gently patted Sakurajima Mai's shoulder and whispered:

"Honey, I'm going to sleep now. Don't stay up too late, get some rest early too."

Mai Sakurajima nodded without turning around, only mouthing "okay".

Kitahara Makoto smiled slightly, turned and walked towards the room. He gently pushed open the door and entered the warm bedroom.

He lay in bed, feeling the soft mattress and warm blankets, his heart filled with contentment and happiness.

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

the next day.

Kitahara Makoto lay on the soft bed, his eyelids gradually becoming heavy, the fatigue of the day slowly dissipating in the warm blankets.

He instinctively reached out to the side, only to find it unexpectedly empty.

He slightly opened his eyes and found that Mai Sakurajima was not beside him, and a sense of doubt welled up in his heart.

Kitahara Makoto sat up, rubbed his eyes, and looked around. The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and a fresh scent filled the air.

He noticed that Mai Sakurajima's bed was still neatly made, as if she hadn't returned home all night.

Just then, a slight noise came from the living room, which caught Kitahara Makoto's attention.

He put on his slippers, quietly stepped out of the room, and wanted to find out what was going on.

When he reached the living room doorway, the scene before him surprised him somewhat.

Mai Sakurajima remained seated on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the television screen.

Her hair was a little messy, and her face showed obvious fatigue, but her eyes shone with a determined light.

The television screen was playing last night's programs, which seemed to have been playing on a loop all night.

Kitahara Shin walked to Sakurajima Mai's side and asked softly:

"Honey, why are you still watching? Didn't you sleep all night?"

Mai Sakurajima turned around and saw it was Makoto Kitahara. She gave him an apologetic smile. She rubbed her eyes, trying to look more refreshed.

"I'm sorry, darling."

Mai Sakurajima's voice was a little hoarse.

"I don't know why, but this TV series is so captivating that I ended up watching it all night without realizing it."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, but more so a childlike innocence.

Kitahara Makoto felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at Sakurajima Mai's tired but satisfied expression.

He reached out and gently pulled her into his arms. Mai Sakurajima leaned against him, closing her eyes to enjoy the warmth and comfort.

"Okay, go to sleep now."

Kitahara Makoto said softly,

"You've been watching all night; your body needs rest."

Mai Sakurajima nodded, obediently stood up, and followed Makoto Kitahara towards the bedroom.

Chapter 353 Morning Song of Love: Tender Moments with Mai

They went into the bedroom, and Kitahara Shin tucked Sakurajima Mai in with the blanket, then gently kissed her forehead.

Mai Sakurajima closed her eyes, a happy smile playing on her lips. Makoto Kitahara gazed at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with love and contentment.

The morning sunlight streamed through the window into the bedroom, adding a warm touch to the entire room.

Kitahara Makoto sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching Sakurajima Mai sleep soundly.

Kitahara Shin sat quietly by the bed, gazing tenderly at Sakurajima Mai as she slept.

Her face appeared especially soft in the morning sunlight, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she were telling a story in her dreams.

Kitahara Shin was deeply moved by the tranquility and beauty of the scene, and he gently reached out his hand.

As I gently touched Mai Sakurajima's cheek with my fingertips, feeling the warmth beneath her skin, a warm feeling welled up inside me.

Mai Sakurajima's breathing was even and gentle, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she maintained a sweet smile even in her dreams.

Kitahara looked at her, his heart filled with love and contentment.

He knew that this moment of peace and happiness was so precious, and he was willing to protect this beauty forever.

Kitahara Makoto slowly stood up, his movements gentle and careful, as if afraid of waking the sleeping Sakurajima Mai.

He turned and walked towards the bathroom to wash up. In the mirror, he saw his somewhat tired but still determined eyes.

He knew that a new day had begun, and he would face work and life in the best possible condition.

After washing up, Kitahara Makoto began preparing to go out. He walked to the wardrobe and carefully selected a suitable outfit.

He moved quickly and skillfully, and soon he was dressed. Then, he picked up his briefcase and keys, ready to leave home.

Before leaving the room, Kitahara Makoto returned to the bedside once more.

He bent down and gently kissed Mai Sakurajima on the forehead.

This kiss was full of tenderness and affection; it was a transmission of his love and care for her.

Mai Sakurajima seemed to feel the warmth of the kiss; her brow twitched slightly, but she did not wake up.

Kitahara Shin smiled and straightened up. He glanced at the sleeping Sakurajima Mai, his heart filled with reluctance and longing.

But he knew he had to go to work and strive for their future. He quietly closed the door and went downstairs.

·····Requesting flowers··········

Arriving at the garage, Kitahara Makoto opened the car door and got into the driver's seat. He started the car and slowly drove out of the garage.

The sunlight streaming through the car window shone on his face, warm and bright.

He felt a surge of inexplicable strength and courage welling up from the bottom of his heart, and he knew he was going to have a fulfilling and wonderful day.

As the car sped along the road, Kitahara Makoto pondered his work plan for the day.

0 .......

He knew he needed to stay focused and efficient to meet various challenges and opportunities.

At the same time, he thought of Mai Sakurajima still sleeping soundly at home, and his heart was filled with warmth and sweetness.

Soon after, Kitahara Makoto drove his car steadily into the parking lot in front of the company building.

He skillfully turned the steering wheel, and the car slowly drove towards an empty parking space.

As the car came to a smooth stop, he gently pressed the brake, which made a low braking sound before falling silent.

Kitahara Makoto unbuckled his seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and stepped out of the car with a deft gait.

He looked up at the towering office building, sunlight streaming through its glass curtain wall, reflecting a dazzling light.

He wore a calm smile, and his eyes revealed determination and confidence.

He strode towards the company entrance. Upon seeing that it was Kitahara Makoto, the doorman immediately opened the door respectfully for him, nodding and smiling in greeting.

Kitahara Makoto nodded slightly in thanks, then stepped into the company.

Upon entering the company lobby, Kitahara Makoto immediately sensed a busy yet orderly work atmosphere.

The employees were either busy with their heads down or talking quietly, but everyone's face was filled with focus and dedication.

Kitahara Makoto walked past them with a smile, occasionally greeting the employees who came towards him.

"Good morning, Mr. Kitahara!"

An employee recognized Kitahara Makoto and greeted him warmly.

"Good morning!"

Kitahara Shin responded with a smile, his voice gentle yet powerful, giving a feeling of both kindness and authority.

He walked through the lobby and came to the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and he stepped inside, pressing the button for the floor leading to the CEO's office.

As the elevator slowly ascended, his mood lightened with anticipation.

The elevator doors opened again, and Kitahara Makoto stepped out and arrived at the floor where the president's office was located.

He walked down the corridor, past several offices, and finally arrived at his own office door.

He pushed open the door and went inside. The office was spacious and bright, decorated in a simple yet elegant style.

Kitahara Shinichi had just sat down at his desk when there was a gentle knock on the office door.

He looked up, his gaze passing over the documents on his desk, and saw his assistant, Li Hua, standing outside the door, holding a folder in her hand.

"Please come in, Li Hua."

Kitahara Makoto said with a smile, while pointing to the chair in front of his desk.

Li Hua pushed open the door, strode in, and placed the folder on Kitahara Makoto's desk.

She was dressed in a well-fitting business suit, with a pretty face and a capable demeanor. Her eyes revealed her seriousness and focus on her work, giving people a sense of reliability.

"President, this is a report on the company's recent basic situation."

As Li Hua spoke, he opened the folder and began to explain in detail to Kitahara Makoto the company's operations, financial data, and personnel changes.

Her voice was clear and powerful, each word resonating with conviction, compelling listeners to listen attentively.

Kitahara listened attentively to Li Hua's report, sometimes nodding in agreement and sometimes asking questions.

His gaze remained fixed on Li Hua's face, as if he could glean more information from her expression...

"Okay, I understand all of this."

After listening to Li Hua's report, Kitahara Makoto said,

"Next, please report on my schedule for today."

Li Hua nodded, took out an itinerary from the folder, and placed it in front of Kitahara Makoto. Pointing to the contents of the itinerary, she began to report on each item:

"You have a video conference this morning where you need to discuss cooperation with representatives from Nefix. They just sent over the cooperation agreement, which I've already placed on your desk."

Kitahara Shin picked up the contract on the table and quickly glanced through it. His brow furrowed slightly, as if he was pondering a certain detail in the contract.

"You have a meeting this afternoon regarding employee benefits."

Li Hua continued.

"The ice cream machine and ice cream you ordered yesterday will be delivered to the company this afternoon. I have already arranged for the receipt and installation."
