Chapter 49 Chapter 49
◎Forced cohabitation◎
When Mu'an Jiaxi returned home, he saw that the house had been restored to its original state. The bloodstains on the carpet were gone, and the messy things were put back in their original places.
Everything was as if nothing had happened.
She knew who did it. It could not have been anyone else except Toru Amuro. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart for his thoughtfulness.
When Mu'an Jiaxi entered the apartment, she noticed that the people from the Black Organization who had been staring at her were gone. They must have all withdrawn or were hiding in the dark, but she didn't notice.
Just as I was about to go to the kitchen to pour a glass of water to quench my thirst, there was a knock on the door. "Knock... knock."
She guessed who it was and was a little surprised that he came so soon. She walked to the door and opened it. It was indeed Amuro Toru standing outside. He looked at her seriously, with a gloomy face, not saying a word, and deep eyes, as if she had committed some unforgivable crime.
He looked even darker in this look, a pure black man.
Mu'an Jiaxi really wanted to advise him not to look so gloomy, as it would really make him look very dark.
But how could she possibly say those words? She was feeling guilty right now. For some reason, the moment she saw Amuro Toru, she couldn't stop feeling guilty. Like a mouse meeting a cat, she became a mouse, instantly pausing to move, becoming obedient and docile. Her head practically buried in the ground, her eyes constantly darting upwards, only to glimpse his scowl and quickly slump back down again.
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Neither of them spoke, they just stood at the door.
Neighbors passing by couldn't help but glance at them when they saw them. Some were enthusiastic and came up to advise them directly: "Young man, no matter how wrong your girlfriend is, you can't scare her with such a gloomy face. Look how scared you are. If there is a misunderstanding between the two of you, just talk it out."
Mu'an Jiaxi opened her mouth to explain, but the neighbor just walked away, and she closed her mouth awkwardly. Before leaving, the neighbor shook his head and muttered in a deep voice, "Young people these days, they're really...!"
As if afraid that the two of them couldn't hear him, he amplified the sound several times.
Finally, Mu'an Jiaxi was the first to break the silence, saying cautiously, "Mr. Amuro, let's go in first. It's not nice to stand there like this."
Toru Amuro saw the looks of the neighbors coming and going, but didn't react. Seeing Muan Jiaxi's flattering face, Toru Amuro took pity on himself and finally responded, then pulled his suitcase into the house.
Mu An Jiaxi only then saw that Amuro Toru was still pulling a suitcase, and was stunned for a moment. What was he going to do?
Then, a voice came from behind, "What are you still in a daze about? Come in."
Mu'an Jiaxi came back to her senses instantly, turned around and walked into the living room. Amuro Toru was sitting on the sofa in the middle. His eyes were always on her, following her and watching her sitting on the sofa.
Muan Jiaxi sat there, feeling like her whole body was covered with thorns. Amuro Toru just kept staring at her, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her.
She raised her hand and pointed at the suitcase, wondering, "Mr. Amuro, what is this suitcase of yours?"
Hopefully it's not what she thinks.
Amuro Toru said: "From today on, I will live here."
The tone of his voice was that he was notifying me that I would live here, rather than asking if I could live here.
Mu An Jiaxi was a little confused and thought he had misheard. He asked in surprise, "Ah, what did you say?" Then he waved his hands and said in panic, "Mr. Amuro, how can you live here? It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone."
Amuro Toru said, as if there was no room for negotiation: "Then go back to the hospital and choose one."
Mu'an Jiaxi didn't hesitate at all and quickly changed his tone, "I welcome it very much. What's with the idea of a single man and a single woman? That's sheer nonsense." He changed his expression faster than turning the pages of a book.
There was still a smile on his face, but it looked forced and stiff.
Amuro Toru pretended not to see it, picked up the suitcase and observed it, then asked, "Where do I sleep?"
Upon hearing this, Mu'an Jiaxi stood up and took him to the guest room, opened the door, and Amuro Toru walked in with his suitcase.
Mu'an Jiaxi pointed at the bed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Amuro, these sheets are all clean."
Amuro Toru only glanced at the room, put down his suitcase, and walked out, saying indifferently: "As long as there is a place to stay, I don't care about anything else."
She closed the door and followed him back to the living room. Looking at Toru Amuro who was sitting on the sofa, she went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, brought it back to the living room and placed it in front of him.
Toru Amuro looked up at her, frowned slightly and asked her, "Are you feeling unwell, such as with your breathing?" His words revealed concern.
Mu An Jiaxi was confused and didn't understand. He shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my body?"
Seeing her asking, Amuro Toru didn't want to hide it from her. After all, it was her body and she had the right to know. "The doctor said that you have sequelae from this injury. Try to stay calm in your daily life, because if you get emotional, you may have difficulty breathing."
Upon hearing this, Mu'an Jiaxi was a little depressed at first, but then he quickly adjusted himself and looked at things more positively.
At noon that day, Toru Amuro personally cooked lunch for her. Every time after eating the food made by Toru Amuro, she would sigh that whoever married him would be very happy, and he must have saved the galaxy in his previous life.
Just the fact that I can cook is really great.
For the next few days, Toru Amuro did not go to work. He stayed at home all day buying groceries and cooking meals, all of which were nutritious and nourishing. Then he worked. For this purpose, An Jiaxi specially gave him the study so that he could work conveniently in it.
After the fourth day, seeing that she was fine, Toru Amuro went to work with peace of mind after her persuasion.
After Toru Amuro left, Muan Jiaxi didn't know why he couldn't stay at home anymore. It must be because every time he stayed here, he couldn't help but recall the scene of that day. These days, because Toru Amuro was there, he didn't feel it, but when he was alone, he couldn't help but recall the scene of that day over and over again.
She was completely obsessed with all of this.
Then he picked up the key and went out, thinking that he should go find Xiaolan and the others. He hadn't seen them for several weeks and he missed her a lot.
When I arrived, before I went upstairs, I saw Xiaolan sitting inside the window of the Poirot Cafe downstairs. She turned around and went into the cafe.
As she pushed the door open, the wind chimes above it rang, "Ding-ling."
Amuro Toru, who was preparing ingredients with his head down, heard the voice, looked over, and found that it was Muan Jiaxi. He quickly put down the ingredients and turned around.
Muan Jiaxi walked to the bar and greeted Amuro Toru first, "Mr. Amuro, I'm here again."
Amuro Toru found a glass of water and handed it to her, wondering, "Why are you here?"
She took the water cup, put it to her lips and took a sip, saying, "I got bored at home when you left, so I came out. I wanted to find Xiaolan, but she happened to be here with you."
Xiaolan, who was behind her, saw her and came up, exclaiming in surprise, "Sister Jiaxi!" After seeing her left arm hanging up, her voice suddenly became several times louder, pointing at her left arm, and anxiously said, "Ah, what's wrong with your arm!"
Mu'an Jiaxi smiled and said reassuringly, "It's okay, it's okay. I just accidentally fell downstairs a few days ago and broke my arm. It will be fine in a week or so. Don't worry."
Xiaolan said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "So, Sister Jia Xi, you haven't been seen for several weeks recently because of the arm problem. You didn't tell me so that I could go see you."
Mu'an Jiaxi turned his chair and faced her. "My arm is fine, just broken. That's why I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry."
Xiaolan said, "But, you should have told me about such a big thing. I only found out now. Sister Jiaxi, please be more careful when you walk."
At this moment, a man suddenly ran in from the door. Before he arrived here, his voice had already reached here, and he shouted: "Xiaolan, Master Kidd."
As soon as they heard the voice, they knew it was Yuanzi. They looked over and saw Yuanzi running over here while shouting. When she saw Mu'an Jiaxi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she said in surprise: "Sister Jiaxi, long time no see. Hey, what's wrong with your arm?" Yuanzi walked to the chair next to her and sat down, his eyes fixed on her arm.
Mu'an Jiaxi repeated to Xiaolan what he had just said to her.
The three of them sat in a neat row at the bar, and Toru Amuro was packing the ingredients in the back. At this time, Xiaozi came out of the storage room with something in her arms, and greeted her when she saw her.
After Sonoko sat down, Xiaolan asked her curiously, "What was Sonoko talking about when she came in just now?"
Speaking of Kidd, Sonoko started dancing excitedly again and said excitedly: "Oh, yes, Lord Kidd." Then she took out a newspaper and handed it to them.
Before they could even open the newspaper, they saw half of an old man's face. As they flipped open the newspaper together, the face became even bigger, and Muan Jiaxi saw who it was. It was none other than Mr. Suzuki. He was grinning, his teeth bared, and making a "yeah" gesture with his hands, imprinted on the newspaper, taking up the entire page.
There were a few lines of large characters printed above his forehead, and looking down, Kidd's notice letter was printed in the corner.
Muan Jiaxi looked at the headline and read it out word for word, "Suzuki Jirokichi once again challenges Kaito Kidd, and Kidd responds with a letter of warning."
His gaze shifted to the lower right corner, where a photo of Kidd's preview letter was printed, and he slowly and softly read: "Bright pearl, as bright as the starry sky, when the time reaches eight, when everything is just perfect, I will take away the red sea of stars."
Sonoko said excitedly, "I can see Mr. Kidd again. I'm so excited!"
Mu'an Jiaxi turned the page and saw the detailed location of the trip.
It also introduces that in order to deal with Kaito Kidd, Mr. Suzuki bought a long-abandoned large maze as a place to store gems. The maze city was built ten years ago, but it is now abandoned. However, the price to buy it is still very high.
It says the time is tonight, I wonder if I can join in the fun.
