Chapter 168: He has a crush on me!
Holy shit, that evil little black-faced guy is completely furious! He pointed out the contradictions in the issue and argued with me, but then instead of trying to resolve it... he just kissed me? Huh?
Even though he had imagined a similar scenario, Chaomu's brain still froze when he was kissed while pinching his chin.
Was her provocation too successful, causing the dark-faced man to lose control and turn darker? Right...right...no, no, it doesn't seem like it...a kiss in that situation should be rougher, but now his lips and tongue touching hers were awkward and gentle...cautious and incredibly clumsy.
The atmosphere isn't right, it doesn't seem like evil... Evil shouldn't be like this... right?
The kiss wasn't as dramatic as she'd imagined. No biting, no plundering, not even a hint of brutality. The blond simply closed his eyes and gently pressed his lips against hers, as if testing a thin layer of fragile ice.
His breath brushed against her cheek, a suppressed breath. His tongue occasionally brushed against the lines of her chapped lips, a slight sting that was then soothed by the soothing pecks that followed. His patiently moistened her soft, dry lips, inch by inch, until they turned a deep crimson.
The hand pressing down on the back of her neck should have been incredibly strong, but it was actually incredibly light. Even with the powerless buff, she could easily break free. But it was precisely this strength that made her feel a little reluctant... It was as if he didn't even dare to try to stop her.
No, no... nothing is right. How could the little black-faced boy be so gentle? What the hell was going on?
During the breath break, Chaomu secretly opened his eyes and glanced at the focused little black face, his heart beating fast.
She didn't actually have a lot of dating experience, but she played a lot of games! While she generally preferred single-player games with a strong action feel, she also played a lot of romantic story-based games.
These rich gaming experiences made her keenly aware of a problem: this was not the beginning of some dark imprisonment play, but rather it might be pure love - damn, it seemed like the little black-faced guy had a crush on her.
Is this correct? When did this happen? How come she didn't know about it? Was there any foreshadowing of this in the plot?
As the player kisses him, they reminisce about the past, but no matter how they recall it, it's all just tit-for-tat, mutual dislike and hurtful behavior... Or is the little black face actually a tsundere character? The more he likes her, the more he has to go against her... Otherwise, there's no explanation.
If we follow this line of thought, then it seems like there's some clue to the past plot... So he's an elementary school student? This kind of secret crush...
Asami was shocked over the whole year and was reminiscing about the past crazily, while Furiya Rei's mood was not as relaxed as his kissing skills showed.
...It's over.
He closed his eyes and thought, and for a long time he didn't dare to open his eyes to see her expression.
The act of being under house arrest was already enough... and now he actually kissed her...? How much must she hate him now... If he has no chance to comfort her because of this... the subsequent troubles will be so numerous that he will be overwhelmed.
But now that things have come to this, there is obviously no point in running away, and he can't just keep kissing her like this... Although her lips are indeed very soft and he really wants to continue... No... How can he continue making this mistake!
Rei Furuya felt that he was probably finished.
In the midst of his heart and soul, he pressed his nose against hers and quietly opened his eyes in the interval, wanting to see her expression. As a result, he happened to meet the girl's twinkling golden eyes. The latter's eyes were also full of complex emotions, changing several times, and finally turned into confusion.
It's like he's asking with his eyes, "Are you sick?"
At least that's how Rei Furuya interpreted it.
...I feel that based on her personality and past cases...the probability of being asked this question directly after he lets go of her is definitely not zero.
Although he was quite worried about such an outcome, since their eyes had met, he couldn't delay any longer. He could only slowly move away, looking away almost in panic: "...I'm sorry, I..."
Chaomu's reaction was quite different from what he had imagined.
He thought the girl would push him away with a look of disgust, but he didn't expect that even after she was released, she just maintained that posture and looked at him, without dodging or avoiding, and even licked the corner of her lips.
"...Wow." She wiped her mouth and said slowly, "Wow."
Jianggu Ling: "…………?"
He was a little confused by her reaction. He always felt that her tone and movements were strange, and even seemed to have a bit of aftertaste... ?
Her gaze was fixed on him, from his eyes to his lips, and his entire face was burning: What on earth was she looking at?! Why that expression... Was he, was he a terrible kisser?!
"Not bad, average?" Chaomu said, "At least among the people I've met, I'm average."
Although she hadn't actually kissed many people in this game, considering the NPC kissing skills rankings in other works by the same company, he didn't seem to be as good at kissing as Akai Mimi... It was really strange, she thought he was very skilled.
She said this so calmly that Rei Furuya realized he'd directly questioned her. His face flushed, then darkened. On the one hand, he felt a little frustrated by the "average" rating, but on the other hand, he thought... what did "average" mean among the people she'd met? This guy was only eighteen or nineteen, wasn't he? Why did he look like he'd kissed so many people... Was she some kind of kissing freak?!
He instinctively wanted to ask how many people she had met, and who she was secretly comparing him to, but he felt that asking would be even more embarrassing, so he could only smile and say, "I'm really sorry that I'm only average."
Chaomu seemed completely oblivious to his sarcasm. She simply rested her chin on her hand and continued commenting, "The kissing skills are a small matter. The main issue is that when you kissed me just now, everything else was fine, but the force with which you gripped my chin was quite strong. If this was forced love, this kind of force would be fine. But if it was pure love, it would be a bit bad. You'd get slapped in the face."
Fūya Ling's gaze involuntarily followed her fingers to her chin. The skin there was very white, and after he pinched it just now, it seemed to have a faint red mark.
Although he still wanted to complain about forced love... he had truly lost control. Was she hurt? Did she originally want to slap him? Was she just complaining to ease the awkwardness... Ultimately, it was all his fault.
...An apology is still necessary.
"...I'm sorry." Feeling guilty, the blond young man repeated in a low voice, "I didn't mean to..."
"Forget it, forget it." At this moment, Chaomu seemed very easy to talk to. He waved his hand and looked very generous. "Since this is your first kiss, I won't bother with you... There is still a lot of room for improvement. Come on."
Jianggu Ling: "…………"
First kiss? Who said it was his first kiss?! What's the "cheer up" part? What kind of "cheer up" is that? Should he practice with her again...?
He really wanted to refute her on the spot, but seeing her matter-of-fact expression, he swallowed the words back:... Forget it, arguing with someone like her is just asking for trouble... and he was also... Tsk!
The blond police officer's thoughts swirled in his chest, shaking off much of his original depression and pessimism. He lowered his eyes to peek at her, and when he noticed she didn't seem angry, his heart began to churn again.
Didn't she... resent his touching like this? Didn't she actually hate him that much...?
His fingertips still lingered on her shoulder, secretly assessing her changing expression. The young girl was also looking up at him, her fingertips wiping across the corner of her lips, wiping away a trace of moisture.
At this moment, the distance between him and her was so close, as if those conflicts had never happened. She just sat quietly in his arms, and she and he were like an ordinary couple cuddling each other.
"But then again... wow."
As soon as the woman in "Ordinary Couple" opens her mouth, the atmosphere changes completely.
Chaomu wiped his mouth and added what he was about to say: "Wow, little black face, is this how you work as a police officer? Your mouth is terrible, and you even forcefully kissed the prisoner... Huh? Why are you running away? Don't you want to continue? Just a kiss?"
Fūya Rei almost fled in panic.
"The hot porridge is on the bedside table. There's no drug in it... If you need anything else, just ring the bell to notify Scotland." He covered his cheek with one hand, his back facing her, but he couldn't hide his burning red earlobe. "I... I'm very sorry. I was rude."
After leaving behind this incoherent yet somewhat coherent speech, he slammed the door shut, leaving Chaomu with only the tightly closed door.
ran away.
Chaomu sat on the bed and sighed deeply.
Judging from this development, the defeat branch line she specially fought this time did not actually trigger any plot of blackening and imprisonment play... Even the little black face who looked the darkest in all senses was actually a pure love person in his bones, and what he just triggered was completely a pure love branch line.
And it's said to be a pure romance side story... Why does this route feel like it's headed straight for a BE? After losing control today, I'm sure the dark-faced guy won't dare see her for days. Midorikawa, too, seems completely paralyzed by guilt.
In addition, the current plot is that the public security will negotiate with the Vongola. After she is released, these two guys will most likely run away without a trace, or be transferred to other places for safety reasons.
Based on Chaomu's extensive gaming experience, this worldline is likely to be a BE. If all the love and hate were discussed clearly, there's a sense that everyone would stop getting entangled... and it feels like the game is about to end, which is quite ominous.
Her energy bar was still dropping, and she fell backwards, throwing herself onto the bed. She looked up at the ceiling and thought for a while before deciding to wait and see how the plot developed in two days before going back to the game.
It's really annoying, a pure love BE, not exciting at all, and not pleasing at all. If there is a fierce plot before the BE, she can accept it, but the bland BE is the most annoying... She didn't specifically win the defeat line just to see this!
Over the next few days, Chaomu's premonition came true—aside from essential interactions, the two undercover police officers practically avoided her. Both Cat Eyes and Black Face seemed quite downhearted, even when they brought her food or tried to cheer her up, they seemed to be holding back, forcing a smile.
Chaomu tried to use the previous plot to provoke the little black face, but it didn't work. It seemed that after that night, Jiang Gu Ling had seen through the world and his heart was dead. He didn't even dare to look her in the eyes.
So boring.
The players were so bored that they didn't even want to wait for negotiations.
If there is no special ending, it would be more exciting to reload the game, beat them up, and force quantum entanglement with them, right?
After this thought came to her mind, Chaomu was too lazy to wait. She was always a little impatient and decisively chose to reload the save file, returning to the time of the two men before and after.
"—Could you please speak now?"
The little black face who had previously avoided her like the plague and dared not look her in the eye now wore a serious policeman's demeanor, his eyes clamping her chin dangerously, his appearance somewhere between a villain and a super villain: "Otherwise, I can only... "
But Chaomu's mentality is different from before.
"What to me?" She looked at him with a rare tolerance in her eyes, and her tone was long and meaningful. "Are you going to force a kiss on me? That would be terrible."

The author has something to say: Because it is from Kogure's perspective, Kogure actually made a mistake. The black face and cat eyes are not all because of guilt or something, but mainly because... (looks away)
