The doctor was successfully fooled, and Matsue Shigure was immersed in his perfect acting skills for a long time until the system poked him.

System: "I have a bad feeling."

Matsue Shigure was surprised: "How can a silicon alien like you who has no brains have such a premonition?"

System: "…Insults have been reported!"

System: "Dog host, take a gamble, open the comic and take a look. If nothing unexpected happens, I will take your last name. If something unexpected happens, you must promise not to scold me no matter what happens in the future."

Songjiang Shigure immediately became alert: "Did you see something?"

The player tries hard to open his eyes wide, but the blocks of color are still blocks of color, and the system that shares his perspective should not make any difference.

System: “Are you scared?”

Matsue Shigure: "Fuck! You're the one who's scared!"

then……

“Puff—cough cough cough!”

Someone holding a cup almost choked himself to death.

"Help!" Songjiang Marmot launched a powerful spell attack, "Why are they at the door?!"

System broadcast tone: "Oh~ My dear little baby Songjiang, the love and hatred nine years ago are just like that now. Is the birth of Songjiang Subaru a distortion of human nature or a moral decline?"

Matsue Shigure: “!!”

This is unreasonable! What kind of hospital has such poor soundproofing? He should give a bad review!

The player tried to calm down and found that this was actually possible.

What he wants to achieve is just to create an effect that "the cough will get better naturally". As for how long it will last... just work harder on the progress bar!

If he is heard, he is heard. Once the game bugs are fixed, he will be a good man!

Matsue Shigure has been able to naturally block out the vicious words on the forum. As a salt fish drama queen with a strong tolerance, he deeply understands what it means to lie down when you can't resist.

At this time, a clean wet towel was stuffed into Matsue Shigure's hand, and someone took away the disposable paper cup stained with blood from his hand and gave him a cup of warm water instead.

Matsue Shigure was stunned for a moment, then raised his head slightly: "Amuro?"

The golden block of color in front of him said in a soft, hoarse voice: "It's me."

The tense body relaxed instantly.

Toru Amuro took out another wet towel and leaned over to wipe the blood from between Matsue Shigure's fingers bit by bit.

The system's voice was still chuckling in my ears: "I accept defeat."

I'm so proud of you!

Matsue Shigure thought for a moment and asked Amuro Toru directly: "Amuro, did you hear anything just now?"

Amuro Toru paused, and said calmly as always: "Did the doctor say anything? Miss Ran called just now and Mr. Okiya has to send Conan and the others back."

System: “Ah, this…”

Songjiang Shigure said calmly, "I didn't say anything. What I told the doctor was a bit exaggerated. I know the condition of my own body."

Amuro: “Yeah, I know.”

"real?"

"real."

Sometimes, Toru Amuro just makes people feel at ease.

Songjiang Shiyu immediately raised his tail, and said to the system smugly in his heart: "Look! The person involved said he didn't hear it, so comic art processing doesn't count!"

System: “Humph!”

"Matsue...what do you see now?" asked Toru Amuro.

“I can feel the light changing, but the colors and people are a little blurry.”

Matsue Shigure's mood improved quickly, and he even had time to joke. He gestured with the water cup: "Ahem, for example, in my eyes, Amuro, you are a big, shining, warm golden cube."

——A bit like SpongeBob.

"Is that so..." Toru Amuro threw the dirty wet towel aside, moved his fingers slightly, and tucked the hair that had swung to the front of Matsue Shun behind her ears.

The young man let him do what he wanted. His relaxed brows diluted the coldness and he didn't look as sharp as at the beginning.

But Toru Amuro's mood did not improve.

He didn't expect that Songjiang Xunye's senses were so sharp. He seemed to realize that they had heard the whole thing at the door, so he wanted to take the initiative to talk about it.

But Amuro Toru knew in his heart that once he admitted that he had heard it, Matsue Shun would definitely find ways to distort what he had just said into non-existent lies and would never admit it.

Nine years ago, the biggest event nine years ago should have been the death of the instructor’s partner, right?

This symptom had never appeared before, probably because Matsue Shigure did not recall that memory.

And now, Toru Amuro admires this young man who appears so calm on the surface.

Song Jiangxun always finds a way to hide all his emotions.

But...is he actually golden in Songjiang's eyes?

Toru Amuro looked down at his gray shirt, his eyes flashing with deep thought and hesitation.

Gold, the color of justice?

...As expected, I still have to keep Bourbon's identity a secret from the instructor.

***

Matsue Shigure doesn't know what SpongeBob... no, Amuro Toru is thinking.

He drank three or four glasses of water in the hospital and finally waited for the doctor to discuss the results.

They handed the payment slip to Amuro Toru, talked to him in a low voice for a long time, and then stuffed a light metal cane into his hand.

Matsue Shigure pounded his walking stick on the ground twice with some curiosity. He never thought that one day he would experience the life of a blind person.

But in fact, it is still better than being a blind person. As the bug repair progress increases, the color blocks in front of his eyes are gradually returning to normal.

Even if he thinks he can do it, there will always be people who think he can't.

"Songjiang, the restroom in the hospital is crowded and the floor is slippery. I'd better go with you."

"Ahem, I'm really fine, this is the extent..."

"Instructor——"

A certain flexible baby-faced guy softened his tone and made a coquettish sound that was enough to make all the rich ladies open their wallets.

Matsue Shigure: "...!"

Oh no, oh no! His arrogant and cool student can do this? ?

After all, the player has no real sense of the passage of seven years. For him, whether it is Furuya Rei or Amuro Toru, the most profound impression is the original rebellious one.

After being yelled at by Toru Amuro, someone compromised in a daze.

The blond young man holding a cane in his right hand stopped talking in the middle of his refusal. He pursed his lips tightly, and his lips slightly raised an inaudible arc: "... This will not be an exception next time."

No one knows that beneath the seemingly high and difficult to approach glacier, there lies soft spring water.

"Yes!" Toru Amuro stood naturally on his left side and reached out to gently hold his arm.

The two of them were not out of place among the many different patients, but there were still many people who cast their eyes on the two handsome men with different hair colors. Finally, when their eyes fell on the crutches, they couldn't help but reveal a look of pity.

The smile on Toru Amuro's face only lasted for a few seconds. He looked at Matsue Shunya, who was walking away seriously with his eyes lowered. The sour feeling lingering in his heart could not dissipate for a long time.

Although I have prepared myself mentally many times, the gaps left by time and accidents are scars that can never be filled.

Just like in today's case, the explosion that could not be stopped at the end is like the arm that seems to be broken with a little force now...

He suddenly wanted to ask where Songjiang Xunye had gone during the time he disappeared, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

I should check it myself, Amuro Toru thought, at least the USB flash drive is still a clue.

****

There were quite a few people in the restroom, and some of the old wooden doors made creaking sounds as people came in and out.

Toru Amuro stood in front of the sink, carefully wiping the blood stains on his body. The light clattering of his walking stick finally stopped beside him.

“I don’t really have any problem being alone.”

Songjiang Xun also leaned his crutch against the wall and rubbed it to find the location of the faucet. His tone was still flat, but Amuro Toru somehow heard some childish emphasis.

He couldn't help but smile: "Of course I believe it..."

“Bang!”

The light above my head suddenly flickered twice and went out. The wooden door happened to be closed by a passerby who had just walked in. The entire washroom was plunged into complete darkness, and the only sound that could be heard was the gurgling of running water.

"Ahem, who is it!"

Before Toru Amuro could even react, he felt the person next to him shudder suddenly, and a cold hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him inside.

The next moment, the light that had been turned off for a short time came back on, and the voices of people apologizing continuously came from outside.

"I'm sorry, it was my child who touched the switch..."

Toru Amuro found that he was holding the washbasin with one hand, and the other hand was pulled by Matsue Shun, and he stood behind him.

"Matsujiang!" he shouted nervously.

The muscle tension in Songjiang Xunye's fingers soared, and at this moment he was holding him stiffly, his whole body was like a bowstring that was fully stretched due to stress, tightly tensed.

After two or three seconds, the blond young man moved slightly, let go of his hand, and turned around.

Toru Amuro noticed that Matsue Shun's face, which had originally had some color, turned pale again, and fine beads of cold sweat covered his forehead, sticking some strands of his soft golden hair.

"It's okay, ahem!"

He seemed to want to give a comforting smile, but the next moment he covered his mouth, leaned over and started coughing violently again.

The gurgling water quickly carried away the blood, but only left an even more miserable face.

Songjiang Shigure: "Ahem! System, I really want to beat you to death!"

System: "Calm down, calm down!"

Matsue Shigure: "Just turn off the lights, why are the colored blocks in front of my eyes still fucking flickering!"

God knows he wasn't scared by turning off the lights, but he was scared to death by the blocks of color that were flashing and floating in front of him like ghosts.

At first he really thought someone had attacked him, and his conditioned reflex pulled Toru Amuro behind him, but the system was a beat slower and said that it was just a switch that was pressed.

System: "This is a rendering problem. You wouldn't understand even if I told you. It's just a bug. Anything is possible."

Matsue Shigure's toes were about to start scratching the floor tiles again: "Ahhh! Making a fuss in front of students, my status is so high!"

System: "Oh, I don't know either. I'm just an innocent system."

The more Matsue Shigure thought about it, the more embarrassed and angry he became. He didn't even dare to look up to see Amuro Toru's reaction, but he didn't expect that a golden retriever would bump into him the next moment.

Toru Amuro's hoarse voice came from his ear, trembling: "Sorry..."

The young man was stunned where he was.

"Last time in Jiujing's counseling room, I was the one who turned off the lights. And when I went to that factory..." Amuro said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, I..."

It took only two seconds to turn off the lights, and Song Jiang Xun was so frightened that even his fingers became stiff, but he pulled him behind him without hesitation.

That's only two seconds...

Toru Amuro knew early on that Matsue Shun was also afraid of the dark, but he never expected that the sudden darkness would be so destructive.

He also apologized to Song Jiangxun for testing him, but he never clearly admitted what he had done.

General temptations can be generally forgiven, but what about real harm?

Looking at those misty blue eyes, Toru Amuro felt that even an apology seemed so powerless.

"Amuro."

The hand, which had just been washed and seemed even cooler, moved up hesitantly, stroked across Amuro Toru's cheeks, and finally fell to the top of his head. He rubbed it hard, and rubbed his neatly groomed hair into a mess.

The instructor's temper has improved a lot, but he still holds a grudge and is merciless to his subordinates.

His cold and indifferent voice rang out: "You are so old, but you are still acting like a spoiled child?"

Toru Amuro froze for a moment.

"Since you want to apologize, then follow the old rules." Song Jiangxun also coughed twice and said concisely, "A 10,000-word self-criticism, due in a week."

Amuro Toru: “…”

This familiar taste.

"Hum!" A heavy cough suddenly came from the side. An old man wearing reading glasses passed by with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the sky and said, "Hey, young couples nowadays, really, why are they so anxious..."

The young man's originally hazy blue eyes suddenly widened.

Amuro Toru chuckled: "Yes."

Matsue Shigure: “Ahem, no!”

What a big-headed ghost! Can boys please cherish their moral integrity!

Someone let go of the golden retriever that was rubbing against him, picked up the walking stick beside him and walked out.

The system laughed loudly: "You still say that Amuro Toru is acting like a spoiled child? Who is the one who is hugging 'Miss Xiao Azusa's' waist and crying?"

System: "I knew you would get even more aggressive once you found out you're not socially dead... Ouch! Dad, stop pinching my data!"

"Matsue, Matsue, wait for me!" Amuro Toru's voice came from behind, "I'm talking about self-reflection..."
