Chapter 45 Valentine's Day 1

"What's on those sunglasses? Why do you have to look at them all day long?" Shirley finished organizing the last part of the experimental report and looked at the blue and orange wine lying on the sofa next to her.

His long hair was disheveled, the collar of his kimono was slightly open, his collarbone disappeared under the collar, his long legs were bent casually, and he was twisting a pair of sunglasses between his fingers.

The two men locked eyes.

"Nothing." He put away his sunglasses. "Is today's experiment over?"

"Well, my sister asked me to have dinner with her tonight, so I finished early today."

After scaring her last time, Blue Orange Wine returned to her original state. He showed up at the institute on time every day, reminded her to put on more clothes when it was cold, reminded her to bring an umbrella when it rained, and sometimes even brought a lunch box and told her to eat on time. He was very caring.

He told her not to look for warmth in the organization, but his behavior was completely different.

Even Gin couldn't help but doubt again whether he had any bad intentions towards Shirley.

Blue Curacao is never afraid of Gin. Once Gin shows that expression, he will spit cold arrows out, "You have a dirty mind. I have already said that Shirley is still a minor. If I have to say it, I just treat her as a cute sister."

Shirley believed this.

She still remembers the first time she saw Blue Curacao, when the other person accidentally revealed the truth when he was caught off guard.

Shirley speculated that Blue Curacao might have had a sister.

He was probably as good to her as a sister.

So even after learning more about Blue Curacao and knowing that he was as ruthless as Gin, Shirley couldn't feel too much hatred or fear towards him.

Besides, his frequent stay in the research institute was also a kind of protection. When he was here, Gin came less often.

This reduced Shirley's psychological pressure a lot, and she felt like she was really protected by her brother.

If Sherry were to give an evaluation of Blue Curacao, she would say that he is a very gentle person, although his gentleness is probably only given to certain people.

And she was lucky to be among them.

As her trust in Blue Curacao grows, Shirley occasionally mentions her sister, Akemi Miyano, who has a boyfriend named Dai Morohoshi, who was introduced to the organization by Shirley and given the codename Lei.

Because of her sister's relationship, Shirley and Lei can be considered good friends. Lei used to come to the institute to visit Shirley from time to time. However, he has not been seen recently.

The reasons for this are probably, firstly, that Blue Curacao often appears in the institute, and the two do not have a good relationship; secondly, it is because of the gossip that has been widely circulated in the organization recently.

It was because her sister Miyano Akemi heard this gossip that she rushed to find Shirley to find out the news.

However, the fact that even her sister, a grassroots staff member, could hear the gossip was enough to show how widely it had spread in the organization. Shirley could hear her researchers whispering about it during breaks in their experiments.

Perhaps it was because the two protagonists involved in the gossip were too bizarre. Even though everyone knew that asking about these big shots could easily get them into trouble, they still couldn't stop the gossip.

After all, no one could have imagined that the legendary Ray, who was as terrifying as Gin, actually had such a relationship with Amoruso, the third in command of the organization.

When Shirley first heard the rumor, she thought it was ridiculous. She knew Lei, a man with great pride. He would never submit to others, nor would he betray his sister.

It was just the two researchers who were gossiping in the tea room who swore it up.

One said: "The son of a neighbor's sister of a friend's mother worked as a chef in the new villa of Lord Amoruso. He heard from the maid there that the two had sex for five days and five nights, and when Lei left, he was carried out by someone."

Another person was even more confident, "In fact, I felt something was wrong a long time ago. Didn't that Lei come to visit Lady Shirley often? The last time he came, I felt that his walking posture was not right. Seeing how cold he was, I thought he was 1--"

"You don't know that. The other person is that Lord Amoruso. Lord Amoruso is a famous love expert. I heard that he dated male and female celebrities in the past. Of course, I can't be the one with such a big shot."

Shirley cleared her throat, and the two of them were so frightened that they quickly fell silent and carefully left the tea room.

Later, the rumor took a new turn. It was said that Lay and Amoruso maintained this relationship not out of their own will, but was forced by each other. However, the other party was Amoruso, and Lay had no way to resist.

Of course, no one in the organization is specifically responsible for this kind of thing.

Once, Shirley heard Gin talking to Amoruso on the phone, "There is a mission that requires Lei, don't let him stay out of bed for the next two days..."

Shirley tried to confirm the truth of the matter with Ley in person, but he just told her not to pay attention to the rumors and that everything would be over soon.

Shirley felt something was not right and didn't know how to comfort her sister.

She sighed, and Blue Curacao asked her what was wrong, and Shirley asked if he knew about it, "Rye and Amoruso really..."

"Isn't this good?" Blue Orange Wine comforted her. "You've always been worried that your sister would get too involved in the organization's affairs, but if she and Lei maintain a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, the organization will definitely notice her more and more. It's better to take this opportunity to break up."

"Besides, nothing good will come of going against Amoruso. He's a well-known playboy, the same type as Bermode. He's just starting to feel attracted to Lei, so it's best not to upset him."

Shirley nodded worriedly.

Blue Orange Wine took out a hairpin from her pocket and pinned it on her hair. "I saw it in the jewelry store yesterday. I thought it suited you very well, so I bought it. Go and relax with your sister in the evening."

The emerald gemstone on the hairpin perfectly matches Shirley's eyes.

"Don't worry about it, it's going to be okay."

Shirley looked up at the man's eyes. His gaze was calm and peaceful, calming the panic in her heart.

Since Blue Curacao says it's okay, then it must be okay.

She felt relieved.

Then the black-haired man in front of her suddenly changed his expression, so serious that she couldn't help but take a step back, "...What's wrong?"

Could it be that Gin had a new mission to make Blue Curacao look like this? Or did Ray finally die of humiliation and kill Amoruso and defect? ​​No, it could also be that Amoruso killed him in return... Maybe Amoruso would even vent his anger on his sister...

"I want to ask you, generally speaking, what gifts do couples give each other on Valentine's Day?" Blue Curacao gestured, "Oh, it's for men."

Shirley: ...Ah?

…

On February 14, there were no bombers causing trouble, so Matsuda Jinpei left work early. A colleague from the bomb squad invited him to go to a pub for a drink, and Matsuda Jinpei agreed.

The streets were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and store owners had put "discount" stickers all over their windows. It was only from hearing his colleagues' discussions that Jinpei Matsuda realized that today was Valentine's Day.

A holiday that has nothing to do with him.

One of my colleagues cried, "This is the 27th year I've spent Valentine's Day alone!"

Another one also started crying: "I'm 28 years old!"

"Matsuda, what about you?"

"Matsuda is so handsome, he must have had several girlfriends, right?"

Matsuda Jinpei: “…”

I'm sorry to disappoint you, as I've been single all my life.

He lit a cigarette and saw his own appearance in the window decorated with beautiful star patterns - he was still wearing a black suit, but with a new pair of sunglasses.

Because the old one was stolen and the other party doesn't seem to intend to return it.

He vaguely saw through the window a handsome, black-haired man in a white kimono standing across the street.

He turned around immediately.

"Hey! Isn't this Officer Matsuda!"

A truck passed by, and behind the busy traffic, there was no man in a white kimono. On the other side of the same road, Yumi Miyamoto appeared with Miwako Sato.

Matsuda Jinpei's colleague immediately poked his head out and whispered, "Isn't this the policewoman from the First Investigation Division? Could it be that my luck in love has finally woken up?"

"Didn't Matsuda transfer to the Investigation Division for a while? They should know each other, right?"

Yumi Miyamoto is actually a police officer in the Ministry of Transportation, but she has a good relationship with Miwako Sato, and Jinpei Matsuda has also met her several times when he was in the Investigation Division.

He remembered that Yumi Miyamoto liked to socialize with people.

"Since we've met, would you like to go socialize together? I've called a lot of beauties." Yumi Miyamoto winked.

really.

Jinpei Matsuda wasn't too interested in socializing, but he had participated in a few when he was in the police academy, because he had a good friend who was keen on socializing.

His colleagues were very excited and he did not refuse.

On Valentine's Day, many shops were holding promotional activities, and there were also many free raffles. The organizers of the raffles brought the raffle boxes to the group of people, and everyone took turns to draw the prizes based on the principle of not taking advantage of the opportunity.

Jinpei Matsuda seems to be particularly lucky tonight.

Along the way, he won three boxes of Royce chocolates, a large bouquet of roses, an STDupont lighter with a black background and white patterns, and a bottle of blue Cura.aos (blue orange wine).

Jinpei Matsuda seemed to be thinking about something. He opened the bottle of wine and looked at the production date marked on the label - the year was different, but the month and day were the same as his birthday.

He silently put the wine back.

"Matsuda-kun, you are so lucky!" Sato Miwako said in an envious voice.

In addition to Jinpei Matsuda, Miwako Sato and another police officer from the Explosives Squad also won prizes, but they were all drawn paper lottery tickets that symbolized their participation.

In comparison, Jinpei Matsuda, who had more prizes than he could hold, seemed particularly out of place.

"Envy..." Yumi Miyamoto was so envious that she wanted to bite her hand, "I want to win the prize too! Damn it, could it be that our good luck has been sucked away by you, Officer Matsuda?"

"Ahem..." Jinpei Matsuda held up the huge bouquet of roses and chocolates that he was about to fall.

"Why are you blushing? Eh? Your ears are a little red too. Do you think you're so lucky that you need to be ashamed?" Yumi Miyamoto crossed her arms angrily.

"Yumi," Sato Miwako said helplessly, "How can you be sure of luck? Matsuda-kun certainly doesn't know why he is so lucky."

Matsuda Jinpei avoided Sato Miwako's sight.

A policeman from the explosion squad stroked his chin and joked, "If Matsuda buys a lottery ticket tonight, will he become a billionaire tomorrow?"

Another person added: "Then Matsuda can resign. Being a bomb police officer is so dangerous, haha!"

"I want to see how lucky Matsuda is tonight. There's another lucky draw ahead. Let's go and take a look. This time, it's a big prize!"

Yumi Miyamoto was the first to run up and looked around the prize area.

"It's the same Mazda as Miwako's."

A black Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) with a smooth body and matte color, looks like a graceful lurking cheetah under the gradually lit neon lights at night.

Jinpei Matsuda recalled a time when he was chatting with someone and the other person asked him what kind of car model and color he liked.

His answer at that time was -

"A black Mazda RX-7 would look really cool if it were to be driven at night."

This is also Hagi's favorite model.

I seem to have heard Jing say that Ling's family also likes this one.

During this lottery draw, Jinpei Matsuda kept his eyes fixed on the operator's movements; the hustle and bustle outside did not divert his gaze.

The operator broke out in a cold sweat under his gaze, and finally, as if giving up on himself, he just let him watch and quickly replaced the ball he had drawn. His hand speed was very fast, and if Jinpei Matsuda was not also very good at this kind of thing, no clue would have been noticed.

Then the operator smiled and shouted: "Congratulations to this lucky customer for winning the first prize!!"

"Wow! Is this true? Matsuda, you're so awesome!" Yumi Miyamoto was so excited as if she was the one who won the prize.

"Hey! Matsuda, you have to treat us tonight no matter what!" the policeman from the Explosives Squad shouted.

Some impatient people have already touched it, and exclaimed: "This car is so cool!"

"Damn it! Why don't I have this kind of luck!"

Amid the exclamations and envy, fireworks exploded in the sky and everyone looked up in the direction of the sound.

Miyamoto Yumi took a look and laughed, "How could someone make fireworks look like sunglasses and cigarettes? Officer Matsuda, you didn't ask someone to set off these fireworks, did you?"

Colorful fireworks bloomed brilliantly in the black sky, and the occasional sunglasses and cigarette patterns looked a little funny and made people laugh.

Finally, all the colors burned into a colorful language in the night sky.

"Happy Valentine\'s Day!"

It is so big that it almost takes up half of the sky.

...that idiot.

Jinpei Matsuda felt a headache. He put roses, wine and a box of chocolates into the new car, and threw the remaining two boxes of chocolates to Yumi Miyamoto, who took the chocolates with a puzzled look in her head.

The handsome curly-haired police officer had already run into the crowd, waving his hand with his back to them.

"Sorry, I have something urgent tonight, so I won't be able to make friends now! I'll give you two boxes of chocolates as apology!"

Yumi Miyamoto wrinkled her nose and asked Miwako Sato next to her, "Does he really think two boxes of chocolates are enough? At least give us the wine!"
