Death countdown: 24 hours
011
It seemed that he had fallen into a coma. The unbearable pain was gradually fading away, and as if he had entered a warm place, Yushan Chaodeng gradually relaxed.
The strange thing is that he still has consciousness. Although he cannot command his body to open his eyes, Yushan Chaodeng feels that he is awake. For example, if he is just dreaming, he will definitely not be able to recite the 73rd decimal place of pi.
...Although using this method to verify whether I am still sober cannot be said to be a sober approach.
But he was still very relaxed. He hadn't felt so comfortable in a long time.
To be honest, although the reaction was not as big as it is now, he has been suffering from migraines from time to time since last year. At first, he thought it was just staying up too late, and taking a painkiller would help him recover. If he hadn't suddenly fainted in the office, he probably wouldn't have gone to the hospital even if he died.
It was Yuya Kazami who happened to come over and woke him up. He was still a little confused when he woke up, but fortunately Kazami was easy to fool.
Yushan Chaodeng also closed his eyes in his dream, enjoying this rare peace.
He wasn't sure if he was dead or not. Considering that he was still conscious, he thought he was probably not dead yet.
Very warm, very safe, if it can continue, it seems very good...
【Hello……】
Just when he was about to fall into a deeper sleep, he suddenly heard a voice, as if through a cloud of fog. He could only feel that the other party was talking non-stop, but he could not understand the content at all.
Miyama Asato thought that this was probably because the other party was speaking Japanese. He was not a native Japanese speaker in his previous life. Because of this, his language system was disordered for several years after his reincarnation. He had to look up the translation several times before speaking and seemed a little slow to react.
Therefore, Tsunayoshi, who speaks slowly, is the person with whom he can chat the most. Even if he can't remember a word sometimes, Tsunayoshi will show the same distressed expression beside him and guess together what he wants to express.
Tsunayoshi...
That email should have been sent, right? He had also mentioned before that it was inconvenient to contact him recently. His job was really the best protection at a time like this.
【Wake up... don't sleep...】
He has no relatives. His parents passed away a long time ago, and he goes to worship them every year... However, the guardian seemed to have mentioned that he has an older brother, but because his parents passed away, he was given to other people to raise, and they have never met or contacted each other.
I used to feel a little regretful, but now I think it’s a good thing that we had never met.
[How long are you going to sleep? Wake up! ]
The voice became clearer, and Yushan Chaodeng finally heard the other person's voice clearly. It was a person who was so familiar that he could even describe the other person's expression from the content of his words.
He should be frowning, with impatience written in his gray-purple eyes, and his mouth would turn down after he finished speaking. I almost never saw him smile.
Just like a Siamese cat that is frozen in winter, Siamese cats have better tempers.
Miyama Asato recalled his one-sided first meeting with Furuya Rei. He was standing on the street with Inspector Kuroda and saw the blonde waiter in an apron through the glass of the restaurant.
The sunlight at 3 o'clock in the afternoon shone obliquely on the young man with light blond hair, coating his entire body with a layer of golden halo. His smile was very warm, even more dazzling than the sunlight at that time. It was just like the appearance of the protagonist in the strategy game. Even if Miyama Chaodeng thought his boss was fierce, he still liked that scene very much.
He was thinking at that time that if Furuya Rei could smile at him every day, he would probably be very motivated to go to work.
Later, he was still very active at work, but he had nothing to do with Furuya Rei. It's not that he had nothing to do with him at all, but with so many tasks piling up, he had no time to think about anything else.
However, sometimes when he sees other bosses and subordinates joking around in a very good relationship, he occasionally thinks of that meeting. It is impossible to reproduce the famous scene. Mr. Furuya never treated him tenderly or praised him, and he never even called him by his name.
[Chao Deng, wake up. Please, open your eyes and look at me...]
What?
Feeling a slight pain in his fingertips, Yushan looked back subconsciously at the lamp.
He opened his eyes, and what he saw was a pair of gray-purple eyes, looking down at him. In those eyes, Yushan Chaodeng saw his own shadow.
He had never seen Furuya Rei with such an expression before. No reaction, no movement, just staring at him steadily, as if he wanted to fix him in his sight.
Miyama Asato was almost held in the arms of Fōtani Rei, with one of his hands held by the other party. The tip of his index finger was pierced, and a small drop of blood oozed out.
He was still dazed at the moment, his golden eyes unfocused, staring at the front. After a long while, he opened his mouth and uttered a short syllable: "Ah?"
This voice finally broke the silence, and before he could react, he was suddenly hugged by the other party. The boss's light blond head was buried in his shoulders and neck, and he hugged him very tightly as if he wanted to feel his presence.
Yushan Chaodeng didn't know what was happening, and he didn't even realize where he was. He felt waves of pain in his head. He closed his right eye which was close to the source of the pain, raised one hand with effort, and patted the other person on the back twice.
"I..." He tried to speak. The first word was a little hoarse, but the rest became smoother. "I'm fine."
The person hugging him stiffened, and finally let him go little by little.
Mr. Fūya's expression was not happy, even though he seemed to have done a very affectionate thing just now. When he calmed down and looked at him again, his mouth was tightly pursed.
Miyama Chaodeng wanted to press his solar plexus to ease the pain, but because Fūya Rei was also there, he endured it.
He tried to observe the environment here calmly, trying to determine where this place was.
I was lying on a bed. The sheets were not the standard ones in hotels, and the furnishings within my sight were also quite ordinary, like an ordinary residence.
So he just fainted and was picked up by his boss?
Damn it, Mr. Fūya appeared in that place, he must have important work to do, and he must be very unhappy because I left early, right?
He’s going to get scolded… but he really deserves it this time, so the worst that can happen is he can just pretend he didn’t hear it.
"Tell me, what happened?" Fūya Rei took a deep breath and asked while standing not far from the bed.
Miyama Chaodeng straightened his back reflexively and said evasively, "I just came to visit an old friend."
He shifted his gaze and stared at a small area in front of him, as if he was particularly interested in the pattern on the quilt.
"Old friends? Vongola?" Furutani Rei asked subconsciously, but he quickly remembered that this was not what he wanted to know most, so he pulled out a chair next to him and sat down.
He pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put it in his mouth, then took out a lighter from his other pocket and lit a cigarette.
"I mean, why did you faint?"
The smell of cigarettes gradually spread over him. Yu Shan Chaodeng's Adam's apple moved and he spoke vaguely: "I don't feel well... cough cough!"
He started to cough. He had always been allergic to the smell of cigarettes. Even the slightest smell would make his throat uncomfortable. There were many smokers where he worked, but because of his high position, most people would not smoke in front of him, so even a little smell was tolerable.
But now his body is too fragile to bear even the slightest smell.
Fūya Rei put out his cigarette, turned around and took two steps, opened all the doors and windows, and did not go to Yuyama Chaodeng again. He stood at the door waiting for the wind to blow away some of the smell on his body.
"You know what I'm asking." Fōtani Rei said coldly. After standing far away, Miyama Chaodeng couldn't see his expression clearly, and he dared to look up in that direction with a confused expression.
"Maybe I didn't get enough rest in the past few days and I have a little hypoglycemia? I really don't know what you are talking about." Yu Shan Chaodeng felt his head hurting even more, and his heart seemed to be a little uncomfortable as well. He put one hand on his wrist and felt his pulse, which was so weak that it was almost unnoticeable without careful feeling.
"Low blood sugar, do I need to go to seven hospitals for checkups? Kazami will be fooled by you, but I won't." He walked towards Miyama Chaodeng, and when he got closer, his tone was not so tough, "Tell me what happened. I'll work with you to find a solution."
He hesitated for a moment before holding Miyama Chaodeng's hand. The hand was so cold that it stung him. Fūya Zero frowned even tighter and more forcefully, as if hoping to transfer his warmth to him.
His young adjutant looked up at him, his light eyelashes trembling slightly, and said, "It's okay, I'm fine, just a little tired."
——Did you know that you just stopped breathing?
Suddenly, a rage rose up from deep inside of Furuya Rei. He had never been a person with a good temper. When he was in the police academy, he would fight with someone in the middle of the night over a disagreement and even knocked out one of the other person's teeth. Facing Miyama Chaodeng's current look, he really wanted to punch this guy in the face to wake him up.
However, when the other person was looking at him quietly, some sickly and tired signs appeared on the familiar face, and the pair of very beautiful golden eyes like moonlight seemed to be a little dim, and he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
"Did I do something wrong?" He bent down and looked at Yu Shan Chao Deng, his tone even sounding as if he was showing weakness. He raised his hand and gently hooked away the hair that was stuck to Yu Shan Chao Deng's cheek with his little finger, "I..."
Before he could finish his words, his cell phone suddenly rang. Furi Rei's expression changed, but he finally stood up and took out his phone. He looked at the caller ID, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"It's me. I got it, right away."
After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere was broken. Looking at the adjutant who looked a little too thin sitting on the bed, Furiya Rei did not continue the topic.
"I'll be back soon. Don't run around. This is my place. It's safe." He paused, and easily read the meaning of 'I heard it but don't want to do it' from the adjutant's expressionless face, and added, "Otherwise I'll send you to the hospital now, or ask your friend to take care of you."
When Miyama Asato heard about the hospital, he showed no expression. With his ability, even if he was a little weak, it would be easy for him to run away from the hospital. But when it came to Sawada Tsunayoshi, he instantly withered and whispered, "Yes."
Furiya Rei seemed to want to say something, but finally shut his mouth. The smoke in the room had almost dissipated, so he closed the doors and windows and took Miyama Chaodeng's phone away.
After Furuya Rei closed the door and made sure that the other party had gone far away, Miyama fell back straight up and said to Deng: "Ouch, it hurts..."
He pressed his knuckles between his brows, but the pain at this moment symbolized that he was still alive, and it didn't seem so hard to accept.
Although he had just said in his dream that death would be nice if it didn't hurt, after he regained consciousness, he felt that it was better to be alive.
...So just now, Mr. Fūya really called his name?
This was the first time that Miyama Asato had seen a boss with that kind of expression. It seemed as if he was afraid of losing something important.
Miyama Chao Deng doesn't think he's important, but Furiya Rei is worried that he still believes it. In short, it's better for him not to stay here.
Yu Shan threw back the blanket and tried to find a way to escape. He heard the door was locked, so he went straight to the window and looked outside. It was dark in front of him. He must be on the 30th floor.
Suddenly, from the corner of the room came the voice of Furiya Rei: "Miyama, go back to sleep."
Ever since Yushan Chaodeng was diagnosed with a terminal illness, he has been in a very rebellious state. He has probably given up his previous gentle attitude towards others. Now he does things according to his own happiness. He does whatever he wants and no one can stop him.
After all, he is going to die, who cares?
Yu Shan turned on the light, closed the window of the room, and looked at the surveillance camera in the corner. The sound came from here.
The boss said that this was his place and it could be ensured to be safe, but surveillance cameras still had to be placed here. Yu Shan Chaodeng glanced around the room and saw a surveillance camera with call capabilities in the corner, two on the bookcase, one under the vase, and another one at the socket.
He remained silent for a few seconds with a cold expression: "Okay, Mr. Fūya."
