Chapter 58 Chapter 58
◎Work hard to please someone◎
That evening
After Meian Jiaxi and Amuro Toru returned home, Amuro Toru remained silent and took out his slippers to change his shoes.
She came in later and looked at the person changing shoes with his back to her. After hesitating for a moment, she began to explain, "Well, I said this today because I was afraid they might misunderstand. Don't be angry."
The man in front of her was silent for a long time. She thought he was really angry. Just as she was about to speak again, he spoke, his tone as calm as water, "It's okay, I'm not angry."
Put on your slippers and walk into the house.
Mu'an Jiaxi tilted his head blankly, looked at his back, and thought to himself: Why does this seem unreliable? He's still angry.
She hurriedly put on her slippers and ran towards him. She took the kettle from his hand with a polite expression and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
As he spoke, he poured him a glass of water, handed it to him very respectfully, almost kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, and said with a smile, "Please drink some water.
Amuro Toru half-opened his hand, looking at the newly-stuck teacup. He finally gave her a look, took a sip with an unsure expression, and sighed softly, "I'm really not angry. You don't have to be like this."
Mu'an Jiaxi kept smiling and said, "I know you are not angry. Come, are you thirsty? Have another drink." She didn't believe what he said at all.
She took the teacup from his hand, filled it up attentively, and handed it to him.
Seeing her expression, Toru Amuro gave up on explaining and let her be. He drank the water in his hand and then went back to the room.
This scene seemed to Mu'an Jiaxi to be anger out of shame. He stood there holding the kettle, looking at his back, muttering softly: "You said you weren't angry."
For several days in a row, Mu'an Jiaxi was particularly enthusiastic. She would never step into the kitchen when Amuro Toru was at home, but now she stepped in for the first time. What's more incredible is that she even washed the vegetables to help Amuro Toru. She was very diligent and seemed like a completely different person.
Toru Amuro saw almost all of this change, but he didn't say anything or refuse, and consciously let her do more work.
After all, in his eyes, Mu'an Jiaxi really lacked exercise. If she didn't move, she would become useless. Normally, she would stay at home unless she had something to do, but she was lazy and didn't want to move, not even for a simple run.
For her, instead of having time to run, she would probably prefer to spend the time being lazy, such as lying on the sofa, playing with her mobile phone, eating an apple, and wasting time.
Moreover, she was only half-hearted in doing things. Amuro Toru remembered a period of time when she suddenly became interested and said she wanted to learn how to make pastries from him, but after half an hour she lost interest and turned around to watch TV. From then on, she never mentioned learning how to make pastries from him again.
Now that she rarely takes the initiative to go into the kitchen to help him, how can he miss such a good opportunity to train her? He simply goes along with her idea and continues pretending.
Over there, Mu An Jiaxi picked and washed the vegetables, put them in a basket and moved over. He smiled brightly and said, "Mr. Amuro, I've washed them. Is there anything else you need my help with?"
Amuro Toru took it and checked it. It was clean. He pointed to a few bags of vegetables beside him and said, "Please wash these as well, Miss Muan. Thank you for your hard work."
When Mu'an Jiaxi heard this, he immediately smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not a bother, it's not a bother. I should be telling you how hard you've worked. You've been at my house for so many days, cooking for me every day. You've been working hard. Any help I can give is a thank you."
Amuro Toru smiled without saying anything, watching her walk over, take the bags of vegetables to the sink, and open them to wash them.
After tormenting her for a few more days, Toru Amuro decided to stop and explained to her that he didn't have to work anymore and that he was not really angry.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or not, from then on, Mu'an Jiaxi returned to her lazy nature, not wanting to pretend for a minute, and never even stepped into the kitchen.
Toru Amuro shook her head helplessly. There was nothing she could do but spoil him. After all, it was not her turn to cook when he was around.
That day, Amuro Toru was busy in the kitchen. Ten minutes later, he came out with two bowls of hot noodles. He placed one bowl in front of Muan Jiaxi first, then sat on the sofa next to her with the other bowl and said, "Let's have curry noodles tonight, try it."
Mu'an Jiaxi put down the remote control, picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat the noodles when the phone in his pocket rang. He put down the chopsticks helplessly and took out the phone, but the phone in his pocket was still vibrating.
Putting the phone down, she reached into her pocket and took out another one. It was the phone Gin had given her. There was a string of unfamiliar numbers on it. She guessed it was probably Gin or someone in the organization. She picked up the phone, and a cold voice immediately came from the other end, "I have a mission tonight. I'll pick you up later."
Mu'an Jiaxi wanted to retort him, but he held back. He licked his back teeth and said, "Okay, I really want to ask, can't this mission be announced in advance? Is it all done on short notice?"
Finally, I couldn't help but say it.
Gin on the other end of the line said coldly, "It's good enough that I could notify you." Then he hung up the phone the next second.
Muan Jiaxi shrugged while holding his phone, turned his head to look at Amuro Toru beside him and said, "Gin's temper is still hot. Bring him some herbal tea next time to calm him down."
Amuro Toru was not in such a good mood. When he heard that it was Gin calling, his brows were furrowed and he asked, "Is there a mission?"
Mu'an Jiaxi put down his phone, took a mouthful of noodles, and whimpered, "Hmm."
After swallowing the noodles in his mouth with great effort, he continued, "He didn't specify any mission, just that he would come to pick me up tonight. But I see it's getting dark now, so who knows what time he'll come? I hope it's not one or two o'clock."
Amuro said with a sullen face, "Be careful at night."
She nodded and said, "Yeah, okay."
Just after finishing his meal, Mu An Jia Xi received a task reminder from the system: [The Black Organization is trying to steal confidential documents from the Huaihe Group at the Rice Flower Restaurant tonight. Please pass the task to the Red Team in time and stop the task.]
Mu'an Jiaxi paused while cleaning up the dishes and thought: It's the Rice Flower Restaurant again.
It seems that she and this Rice Flower Restaurant have a connection.
Around 9 o'clock, Mu'an Jiaxi finally received a call from Gin, "Come down." He hung up the phone with just these two cold words.
She also reacted quickly and said to Amuro Toru who was sitting next to her: "He called and I left."
Just as she was about to leave, Amuro Toru reached out to stop her, "Wait a minute"
She paused, put down her legs and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
He took out a box from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a bracelet. He reached out and picked it up, then casually placed the box on the coffee table. He raised his hand, turned it in a circle, and said, "Turn around."
Although she was puzzled, she turned around obediently. The next second, she felt the body temperature of the person behind her. He was so close that his breath hit her ears. She couldn't help but shrink her neck, and immediately a voice rang out, "Don't move."
The heat behind her seemed to have subsided, and she didn't know what he was doing. She stood there motionless, wanting to turn around and look several times out of curiosity, but she held back.
Her ankle suddenly felt cold, and she couldn't help but retract her foot. A gentle voice sounded behind her, "Don't move. It will be fine soon."
She couldn't help but look down, and saw that the bracelet was now lying on her ankle. She wondered, "Why did you suddenly think of giving me an anklet?"
Amuro Toru first pulled up her trouser legs, then stood up and explained: "This is a bracelet with a locator inside. I originally wanted to wear it on your hand or hook it in your hair, but I felt it was a bit obvious or unsafe. I thought you always wear long pants, so it can be covered, so I put it directly on your foot."
Mu'an Jiaxi understood. He was worried about her, so he asked someone to do this.
His actions made her feel warm in her heart and she felt safe immediately. "Thank you." She smiled and thanked him sincerely.
Amuro Toru said considerately: "If you mind, when you come back, take it off and put it in the box. When you have a mission in the future, take it out and bring it with you. That way, I will know where you are and can rescue you immediately if you are in danger."
Mu'an Jiaxi immediately waved his hands, fearing he might misunderstand. "No, I'm not uncomfortable. It looks nice, and I like it. I just feel like the hook isn't very strong and falls off easily. I'd better put it away when I'm not using it. If it falls off, I'll have to spend money to get it remade."
Amuro Toru breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "It's up to you. As long as you like it." Seeing that it was getting late, he urged, "It's getting late, go quickly."
Mu'an Jiaxi picked up his phone and glanced at the time. It was almost five minutes past. If he didn't go downstairs, Gin would start scolding him. He quickly said, "Then I'll go downstairs. You wait for me at home."
Amuro Toru still had a smile on his face and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home." He watched her leave.
Mu'an Jiaxi jogged all the way downstairs and saw a black Porsche parked on the side of the road as soon as she walked out of the community gate. She calmed her rapid breathing caused by running before walking forward.
Before she could get close, the window slowly lowered, and Gin's face appeared in front of her. He looked up at her coldly and said in a cold voice: "I've been waiting for you for eight minutes."
She knew that at this moment, all she had to do was show her attitude. She didn't need to say anything, just apologize. She admitted her mistake in a very good manner and said, "I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
He then added, "I remember you said last time that you would be more careful next time."
When working under him, one should bow their heads when necessary. I am a woman who can bend and stretch, and an apology won't hurt me. Mu An Jiaxi sincerely assured him again, "I'll pay attention next time."
Gin didn't dwell on it anymore and turned around and said, "Come up."
Mu'an Jiaxi learned his lesson this time, walked around to the other side, opened the passenger door, and sat in. After getting in, he turned around and found that there was more than just Gin in the back seat. Next to him was a woman with long wavy hair, Vermouth. Since the two were not very familiar with each other, Mu'an Jiaxi just nodded to her and wanted to turn around.
But Vermouth stopped her and said, "Why don't you introduce yourself?"
Mu'an Jiaxi thought to himself: Don't you already know who I am? Why do you still need me to introduce myself?
But he also introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Mu'an Jiaxi."
She said simply, "Vermouth."
There was no conversation in the car all the way. After arriving at the Rice Flower Restaurant, several people got out of the car. Not long after, another car came and stopped behind the gin car. Two people got out of the car, Kil and MacAllen.
As soon as McAllen got out of the car, Muan Jiaxi's eyes met his. The two looked at each other, and both of them looked away quickly without saying a word.
Macallan followed Kil to Gin, and then they went into the hotel.
