You even lowered the temperature in the room because you had to wear a turtleneck and scarf in the store.
Sitting in front of the counter, you are a little worried about the safety of your house - the owner's house is very expensive, I hope the other party doesn't blow it up...
You think back to what happened in the morning and feel overwhelmed.
For breakfast you use a toaster to toast bread, put two slices of toast in, set the timer, and then out pops a slice of bread that is just the right hardness and softness.
During this time, Kitagawa Makoto kept staring at the bread machine with his red eyes. After you took out the bread slices, he asked, "If you put it in and set the time, will the baked stuff pop out?"
"Well, adjust the time according to your preference." You replied casually, looked up and saw Kitagawa Makoto looking thoughtful, and quickly added, "But it can only be used to toast bread! Nothing else!"
"..." Kitagawa Makoto didn't respond to you, and you thought he heard you.
As a result, when you come back from looking for salad dressing, you see the other person taking the goldfish from your living room fish tank and stuffing it into your fish tank (you: Stop it, you bastard!), and you are so angry that you almost want to hit him (if you can beat him...).
Thinking back on it now still makes me feel depressed_(:з)∠)_.
When the wind chimes sound, you immediately put on a professional smile: "Welcome~"
Xiaolan walked in with Conan: "Good morning, Jiang Lai-kun, please give me two boxes of sakura sushi."
“Okay.” You quickly pack them.
"Oh, Brother Jiang Lai, are you dressed so seriously in the store?" Conan looked up and smiled at you.
"Because I'm cold." You answered naturally.
"Can you raise the indoor temperature a bit? It seems like Brother Jiang Lai has turned the heating down very low today."
"Because I'm hot."
“…”So is it hot or cold?
"My heart is cold, but my body is hot." You look bitter and resentful. "Life is not easy. I have seen enough of the coldness of the world."
Conan: "......???"
"Just kidding, turn down the temperature a bit to save electricity on the heater." You handed the takeaway box to Xiaolan and said seriously, "Green living is everyone's responsibility."
Conan opened his mouth to ask something, but you pushed him out of the store. You smiled and said, "Okay, okay, go to school. Children should focus on their studies."
You waved goodbye to Xiaolan and Conan and breathed a sigh of relief, secretly hoping that this clever little guy would stop reasoning.
"Hey, good morning Jiang Lai." Matsuda got out of his car and yawned. "It must be a wrong alarm. I got up early. It seems that I have time to choose carefully today."
He looked at your scarf and smiled, "The way you tie your scarf, if someone pulls it, it will become a crime scene." He stretched out his hands and pulled the two ends of the scarf to the sides -
You screamed out instantly, and Matsuda was so scared that he let go immediately. You wanted to put your hands on his neck with trembling hands but didn't dare to touch it. You were trembling all over and almost died on the spot.
…It hurts so much!!!
In your heart, you have already killed the culprit, Kitagawa Makoto, countless times. Your neck hurts even more after a night, and you can't touch it at all. Just now, Matsuda pulled your scarf and it was really painful.
Matsuda's hand was still frozen in mid-air. He said hesitantly, "I didn't use any force. I just pulled it as a joke... Hey, are you okay? What happened to you?"
You take a breath and say, "Oh no, I'm going to scam you. You must buy ten boxes of sushi today."
"..." Matsuda adjusted his sunglasses that had slipped down, "What? Were you playing me just now?"
“Yeah,” you said playfully, “It’s pretty convincing, isn’t it?”
"Hey, that's too much. I'm going to report you for this kind of fraudulent consumption behavior."
"I'm scared, Mr. Officer." You joked, packing up the sushi that was just made in the store for him, "Don't be picky, just taste the fresh sushi that was just made, and then go to work."
Matsuda took the sushi but didn't leave in a hurry. He turned his head to look at you: "Are you really okay? As a policeman, I am more confident in my observation ability. You must have reacted instinctively just now." He paused, "Of course, it is not ruled out that your acting is very realistic."
"Did you hurt your neck?" His expression turned serious. "Don't be afraid," he looked at you with those convincing black eyes, "--we will help you."
"..." But you don't want Matsuda to step into the main plot of Danger Max.
So you put on a dead look and said, "It's just a little stiff neck, it's nothing serious - if there was really something wrong, how could I not call the police?"
He stared at you for a few seconds, then smiled: "Okay, I'm glad you're okay."
You chatted with him for a few words with a normal expression, until he waved his hand, picked up the sushi and left, driving away from your sight. Only then did you take a deep breath and readjust your scarf that was pulled a little too tight.
Looks like I need to buy some ointment. You think with a frown. I hope I can get better soon.
There aren't many customers in the mornings on weekdays, and it's even quieter at noon. You originally wanted to sleep with a pillow like before, but your neck hurts so much that you simply give up your nap and continue to casually flip through your phone.
The door was pushed open a little, the wind chimes made a brief "ding-ding" sound, and you looked up to see a child wearing a hooded jumpsuit squeezed in.
"?" You blinked and recognized the other person as Xiao Jingguang. The words slipped to your lips, but when you saw the other person raise a finger to make a gesture of silence, you swallowed the words back.
He gestured for you to go out and talk, and you turned the board hanging on the door over, turning it to the side for when you had something temporary to go out on.
You walked into the alley next to the store. Jingguang skillfully took out a temporary power bank and a square box from his schoolbag. After plugging them in, he spoke: "Okay, let's start chatting now."
“This is…” You glanced at the box.
"I didn't know if your phone was in someone else's hands last night, so I didn't say much." Jing Guang said, "There may be eavesdropping devices in the store, and you may also have them on you, so put down a signal blocker and we'll talk later."
"Hey? Why are you so careful all of a sudden?" You smiled, "Actually it's really nothing, just relax."
"..." Jingguang stared at you for a moment, and slowly smiled, "Jiang Lai, can you squat for a while?"
"Okay." You squatted down, and before you could react, Jingguang grabbed your scarf and pulled it hard -
"Wow!" You almost cried in pain and sat down on the ground.
"You call this nothing?" Jing Guang let go of his hand and sighed, "Conan told me about your outfit this morning, and I knew who you might have run into—"
"After all, I heard that only that guy likes to strangle or bite people to death directly." Jingguang added, "It saves bullets."
"Tell me, what happened? How did you get involved with them again?"
"..." You took a breath, "Well... I didn't want you to know." You scratched your head and briefly recounted the story of last night, "... Anyway, my neck is a little uncomfortable now, but everything else is fine. After he leaves, everything will return to normal... right?"
"Don't you know them well?" Jing Guang smiled, "Is the organization so kind?"
"I still have his gun..." You whispered, "I think I can save my life now."
"Let's not talk about your gun skills," Jing Guang paused, "I'm afraid you can't even pull the trigger."
"?" You are in a fog.
"That's another rumor about this guy," Jing Guang glanced at you, "His gun is specially modified, and it takes a lot of force to pull the trigger - of course it's easy for him."
…No wonder he was so confident holding the gun himself, you thought.
"He kept you because he thought you were useful." Jing Guang continued, "And then what? You probably only have two choices. One is to be killed when you are no longer useful, and the other is to continue to serve them and join them."
“Ah, this…” You put your hand on your chin, “Forced to be an undercover agent?”
"Do you think it's that easy to be an undercover agent? Can you guarantee that you won't leak any information? Do you know what the consequences will be if you are discovered?"
You were silent for a moment, then said hesitantly, "By the way, are you... angry?" It was rare for the other person to speak in this tone.
The other party remained silent for a while and said, "No."
“Ah…are you really angry?” You shook your head, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I won’t hide it from you next time.”
"No, I just..." He pursed his lips, "I just think you shouldn't get involved in these things. You will get deeper and deeper into this, you know?" Jing Guang patted your hands, "You are just a child, an ordinary person. There shouldn't be these things in your life."
"I'm not a child anymore..."
"If you're younger than me, that's fine." Jingguang stared at you for a few seconds, then lowered his head, "If it's... because of me, I'm... sorry. And please don't get involved anymore."
“Ah, no, no,” you quickly waved your hands, “It’s none of your business. But… like you said before, it’s really hard for me to extricate myself from this situation now.”
“By the way, have some faith in me.” You complained, “My acting skills have been honed… More importantly, I have two accounts.”
"Don't worry," you said with bright eyes, "no matter what the situation is, I will stick to what I should stick to. This will not change."
"..." Jing Guang was stunned, "You——" He raised the corner of his lips slightly and stretched out his hand, "Then let's make three rules, and I will tell you something else later."
"First, you will never stand against the police and public security."
"Of course." You nodded, "I am a good young man with four qualities."
"Second, always pay attention to protecting your own life safety."
"Haha, that's a must."
"Third, always keep one bullet in your gun."
"Huh?" You were startled.
He also uttered the last sentence: "... for myself."
He looked at you with his blue-gray eyes: "You know a lot, and that must be a secret. I don't want that day to come, but if it does, maybe..." He didn't continue.
You look into his eyes, his eyes are beautiful, like the sea.
Now you finally realize that the sea can be calm and peaceful, can accommodate all rivers, can be broad, thick and soft, but at the same time, it can also be cold, thorough and deep enough.
But the other party is right, in the hands of the organization, perhaps not being able to die is more painful than dying.
Your expression also calmed down: "I understand."
"Okay." Jing Guang smiled, "Then, if you have any news in the future, just contact me with another number, Mr. HLJ."
"And I also have channels to send the information to where it should go." Jingguang smiled.
"Hey? You actually hid the fact that I had a contact person from me?" You said with half-moon eyes.
“You’ve been hiding a lot of things from me, too, like your other phone?” Jing Guang shook your hand. “We both have secrets, so we’re even.”
He threw the backpack to you. "Here, I bought you some ointments and stuff. Your neck must be hurting, right?"
"Wow, thank you! I wanted to buy it this morning." You took it with surprise, "As expected of you, a male mother, you are really considerate."
Jingguang: ? ? Male mother? ?
He puts his hood back on and you start to walk out of the alley. As you do so, you say aloud, “…we’re going to win.”
The sun is shining brightly outside, the breeze is not dry, and the bright beams of light shine on you, warm and shining.
Yes. Jingguang raised his head, smiled and said silently: We will win.
The author has something to say:
Jiang Lai is a black, HLJ is a red, double number dual use, no conflict hhh
