Chapter 170: Reconciliation "I even made an appointment to have a midnight snack together."...
...Tsk, lost.
The heavy motorcycle on his body hurt his ribs. Fūya Rei lay on the ground with an expressionless face. He struggled a few times, but the motorcycle only shook slightly.
This outcome should have filled him with a sense of crisis and shame, but for some reason, he had this strange feeling, as if this scenario had happened many times before. It was as if he'd already lost several times, and the previous outcomes might have been even worse. His current state was even the result of her letting him win.
The number of non-existent associations that had appeared in his brain today seemed a bit outrageous, which made him start to wonder if this was also Chao Mu's special ability - he heard that there were illusionists in the Italian Mafia, and whether she also had the ability to make people have illusions... illusions in various senses.
He had many questions, but he couldn't verify them immediately by himself. In the current situation, he obviously couldn't communicate with You Xunran either. He could only lie there with his lips pursed, watching and waiting... He also tried to lower his presence and pretend that he didn't exist.
But Chaomu obviously didn't intend to pretend he didn't exist.
"Why aren't you talking?" She walked briskly to his side, squatted down, and poked his cheek. "Weren't you so talkative just now? Saying things like 'I won't let you do whatever you want' and 'The young lady is in danger'... Why do I feel like I'm not the one in danger now? What's wrong with you, little black face?"
Jianggu Ling: "…………"
He wanted to close his eyes, but when he looked up at her face, the urge to complain finally took over: Forget about why she had just left Hiro aside and come over to laugh at him... What was with her tone and squatting posture? It was a good thing she changed her clothes. If she had kept the lady's dress from just now, squatting like this wouldn't be... Tsk.
Although the complaints in his heart were as turbulent as the waves, Fūya Rei was actually very clear that he couldn't really complain out loud.
...After all, it seems that the actions of this "Vongola Lady" are not so much driven by interests as they are by pure likes and dislikes...in other words, it depends on her mood.
Even though she had just had the chance, she didn't kill him or Hiro, and she seemed to want to maintain their relationship. In this situation, he obviously shouldn't do anything unnecessary, which would cause her feelings for them to decline and cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, the blond young man could only puff out his cheeks and close his eyes: "...Victory is naturally your own ability...I lost, so you can do whatever you want with me."
He had already prepared himself to be laughed at by her after he admitted defeat, but he did not expect Chaomu to fall into a strange silence.
She looked up and down at the disheveled Furiya Rei, whose hair was damp, from his face to his thighs, and then down to his chest: "You let me do whatever I want...really?"
What the hell is this plot? Is it a reverse defeat plot? But thinking about it, it does make sense... After all, if a player's defeat can trigger this kind of plot, then it seems logical that an NPC's defeat would trigger it as well...
Then couldn't she...
Collars, whips, handcuffs, and imprisonment play.
Chaomu's gaze changed several times as he looked at him, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter: "Wow."
Jianggu Ling: "…………?"
Her gaze was like a hook, her presence felt immense. Even without looking at her, one could sense an inexplicable sense of danger. The blond youth, whose eyes had been closed, suddenly opened a crack, a flicker of vigilance in his purplish-gray pupils.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the girl supporting her knees with one hand and circling her hair with the other hand. Her eyes looked as if she was thinking about how to open the gift and swallow him - and he was the tightly tied gift box, and the gift box contained tempting food.
What kind of look was that... Hiro is still here...! What on earth did she take the words "let her do whatever she wants" to mean... Could it be that...
Under this gaze, Furuya Rei strangely followed her train of thought. Her thoughts seemed to have always been quite divergent, and it was normal for her to have a soft spot for those bizarre two-dimensional plots... But how could he possibly let her continue to indulge in such wild thoughts?
"What I meant by leaving it to you is..." His throat was itchy because of her choking, and his voice became weaker and weaker as he tried to explain, "You..."
He wanted to say "I accepted reasonable conditions" and "I wanted to let you vent your anger for the surprise attack just now", but these words sounded like an attempt to cover up the truth in her eyes, as if to say "I know you are pretending to be serious".
This little bastard...!
Nearby, Zhu Fushiguri Jingguang seemed to have received a concussion from a headbutt and was holding his forehead to recover. Fūya Ling was isolated and helpless, and could only rely on himself to calm down.
"When I said I'll leave it to you, I meant I'll apologize and make amends later, and continue to cooperate with you..." He took a deep breath, trying to get the subject back on track. "You're well aware of Scotland and me. It won't do you any good to detain us here or reveal our identities. The Vongola position has always been..."
"I don't intend to keep you captive forever." Chaomu was frank about this. "After all, my pet slot is full now, and I can't let you be my pets. Revealing your identities won't do me any good either. I want to defeat Gin more..."
"I was just thinking about other plots..." She squatted beside him, rubbing her chin with her fingertips. She took out her phone and took two photos of him with a dangerous smile. "Like... You don't want your colleagues to know that you're like this behind your back, right? Little black face?"
Jianggu Ling: "…………?"
These words really gave him a strong sense of déjà vu. Thinking of the scene where Matsuda or Hagiwara saw his miserable photos at her place, he felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and twitching with pain.
He was half-heartedly wanting to get mad and tell this inconsiderate, inexplicable guy to delete the photo, but then he realized that as the loser, he really didn't have the right to do so. But after taking the photo, Chaomu decisively lifted the motorcycle and let him out, which completely extinguished his resentment.
She has proved once again with her actions that she really does not want to kill him and Zhu Fujingguang. The activity that made them on the verge of a showdown seemed to be just a joke to tease them.
...Forget it, why bother with her.
The blond young man managed to calm himself down and returned to his original plan: to coax her and make her happy.
As a result, he had just struggled to free himself from under the motorcycle, and before he could even steady his knees on the ground, he saw Chao Mu shaking the mobile phone in his hand. The screen showed him in a miserable state, trapped under the car with messy blond hair.
"Look at what a great angle this is," she clicked her tongue as she zoomed in on the photo, poking his face on the screen with her fingertips. "That look in his eyes, three parts unwillingness and seven parts stubbornness, paired with his sweat-soaked hair, makes him the perfect cover for the 'Public Security Elite Becomes Prisoners' photo series."
"Chao Mu!" The vein on Furuya Ling's forehead throbbed even more violently. He stumbled forward, trying to grab the phone, but she dodged it with ease. Like a cat that had stolen candy, the girl circled behind Zhu Fu Jingguang, holding the phone, and poked half of her head out to make a face at him.
"You want it?" She shook her phone. "Beg me...I won't give it to you even if you beg me."
Zhu Fujingguang turned around and saw the picture, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. He coughed lightly, and under You Xunran's murderous gaze, he made his position clear. He slightly turned sideways, shielding her behind him: "Calm down, Zero, remember the key point—at this point, it's best not to upset her."
Of course, Rei Furuya knew this... but he still couldn't feel at ease.
He stared at the pocket where her phone was, feeling like it was a ticking time bomb. Who knew if this little bastard would get the urge one day and actually show the photos to Hagiwara and the others? Would he even have the nerve to save his face then?
But he really didn't have any way to deal with her. After holding it in for a long time, he could only say: "What is your purpose?"
After asking, he felt it was unnecessary. She was someone who followed her own whims, perhaps just to see them embarrass themselves… In any case, it didn't fit in with the deliberate conspiracy he'd initially imagined. It was ridiculous.
As expected, the other party's answer was just as scumbag as he expected: "Because it's fun."
The corners of Fūya Rei's lips twitched slightly: It's not surprising at all.
He stared at her profile helplessly, and heard her complaining to Jingguang naturally, "I heard that Scotland was Midorikawa-kun, and you were so happy. Reborn teacher gave me homework to beat you and Gin, and I was planning to ask you to help me... Who knew I'd run into you and the little black face plotting? I was so fooled by you two before, I would definitely be angry!"
The cat-eyed young man's fingertips curled lightly on his knees, a hint of apology in his blue eyes. He raised his hand to press his still dull forehead, his voice hoarse from the impact, "I'm sorry, Xiao Mu. I... couldn't help it."
He didn't explain much further, but apologized again: "...This kind of thing won't happen again. Unless it involves confidentiality, I..."
Chaomu was not happy to see him being so submissive in front of her.
She patted Zhu Fu Jingguang's head and said with a rising voice: "Don't apologize yet. I don't plan to forgive you yet. After you cooperate with me to complete the physical training mission, I will reluctantly consider whether to forgive you."
Zhu Fu Jingguang naturally had no reason to refuse.
While her attitude reassured him, he also wanted to ask more about how she and the Vongola came to be. He was about to continue speaking when the short-haired girl glanced at the time, suddenly becoming serious and packing up her things. "That's all for now. I'm leaving now. I'll come back to you next time for the mission."
She was very efficient and quickly packed up all the snacks and drinks on the table, carrying her bag and leaving. Zhu Fujingguang had originally wanted to make something delicious to apologize to her in the evening, but the words got stuck in his throat.
Furuya Rei didn't react for a moment: "Where are you going?"
For some reason, there seemed to be a different memory in his mind, as if she should not leave today, but should be in his safe house... When he thought of the kiss, he shook his head decisively, getting rid of the non-existent memories from his brain.
"Well, I have an appointment with someone for a midnight snack." Chaomu waved his hand with his back to them, saying cheerfully, "Don't be too envious. I won't take you with me."
After all, not everyone is lucky enough to be treated to a meal by Hagiwara-kun. Hagiwara-kun worked so hard today, so his bonus must be huge, right? He's definitely going to have a big dinner tonight!
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I have recovered a little and will continue writing.
Then again, is there any new strain of influenza now? I'm running cold and coughing, and it feels a bit too much... I have a sore head, a sore wisdom tooth, and a headache. And because I'm running cold, I don't dare take ibuprofen. It's ridiculous.
But I think it might be because staying up late has lowered my immunity. I had anxiety attacks before, and staying up late for too long really caused problems all over my body... Everyone, please don't stay up late during the holidays! Don't...
