Chapter 74 Chapter 74 It’s too early to speak, Jūya-kun…
"Fūya-kun, is your bias towards Jingguang out of retribution for that childhood incident, because of your status as a pursuer as you just mentioned, or—out of guilt for what you did to Jingguang during that time?"
When Fūya Rei heard these words, his heart tightened and he felt that this moment had finally arrived.
In fact, since the first time he came to Nagano and met Zhufushi Gaoming, the two of them exchanged contact information and have not met again.
To be precise, it was Rei Furuya who was avoiding meeting Takaaki Morobushi. Even though he still desperately squeezed his rest time to complete his work, freeing up one or two days a week to visit Nagano, if he sensed that Takaaki Morobushi might be nearby, Rei Furuya would leave first.
He shouldn't have been like this.
Morobushi Takaaki is the most suitable person to reminisce about Morobushi Kagemitsu with Furuya Rei now. He can hear from him the carefree and intimate time he had forgotten in his childhood with Morobushi Kagemitsu.
But the prerequisite is that Fūya Rei has not hurt Morobushi Kagemitsu so deeply.
Even though for the sake of confidentiality, objectively speaking, he should not have told Zhufu Gaoming the details. He and Zhufu Jingguang had a private affair, but this affair was also influenced by the dual factors of the undercover mission and the organization, like a knot that could never be untied.
But subjectively, he couldn't remain calm in front of the victim's family, who was also someone he loved.
Furuya Rei selfishly hoped that Morobushi Takaaki would learn everything and blame him, or force him to do something to make amends. However, he was also afraid that if he truly knew, he would stop him from approaching Morobushi Kagemitsu. This fear reached its peak after he found the amnesiac Morobushi Kagemitsu and Morobushi Takaaki appeared.
Fūya Rei is naturally strong-willed, and it's no exaggeration to call him a tough cookie. He's been ostracized since childhood because of his appearance, but he's never been timid. He's demonstrated his abilities with achievements in all aspects that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Before meeting Scotland in the organization, he had almost never known what fear was.
But later, Furuya Rei was afraid that he would really fall in love with Scotland, afraid that Scotland would choose someone else during the mating season... afraid that Scotland would die in the sea of fire.
No matter how many days and nights had passed since that day, whenever he thought of the flames, the fear would grip his heart tightly, giving him a burning and suffocating feeling as if he was in a sea of fire.
No matter how scared you are, you can't escape what is coming, it's just that it comes much earlier than you imagined.
Zhu Fu is smart and more perceptive than Furuya Rei expected.
"Both." The blond police officer didn't shy away from Morobushi Takaaki's scrutinizing gaze. "Both. I've received countless favors from Hiro. Even the fact that I'm standing here is because he saved me. I like him, even though I realized this too late and it hurt him deeply."
He was so nervous that he could clearly hear his own heartbeat: "I have thought about it. What should I do if I find Hiro? Even if he has lost his memory now, it is not in any of my plans-"
"That's enough." The well-educated lawyer couldn't help but frown and interrupted him. "Jingguang is not the public security operation plan you planned. No matter how you treat him, the premise is to treat him as a living person. Besides, whether Jingguang will accept you again is unknown. Don't speak too soon, Furuya-kun."
Fūya Rei's expression turned very bad in an instant.
He was wrong.
It's completely wrong.
Zhu Fu Gaoming was right, and it could even be said that he hit the nail on the head.
Furuya Rei had never had any romantic experience, his only one being with Morobushi Kagemitsu, if that tragic one counted. So he subconsciously planned his and Morobushi Kagemitsu's future the way he knew best, as if by following this well-honed plan, he could achieve the perfect ending he desired.
However, in the process, he ignored the wishes of the other party - perhaps he did not ignore it, but Furuya Rei subconsciously refused to consider the possibility that the other party was unwilling to accept him.
At this time, the meals they had ordered through the front desk were delivered. Zhu Fujingguang waved to them standing on the balcony, signaling them to come and eat.
While Morofushi Takaaki and Fūya Rei were talking, Matsuda Jinpei also cut the watermelon. The beautiful light red flesh represented its deliciousness and cooling effect.
Zhu Fu Gaoming nodded to his brother, opened the balcony door and walked in.
Fūya Rei didn't want Morufushi Kagemitsu to notice anything unusual, so he adjusted his expression as quickly as possible, followed him in and closed the balcony door.
Jinpei Matsuda originally wanted to say something during the meal, but due to the presence of Morobushi Takaaki, he finally chose to eat quietly. The delicious dinner that he should have enjoyed was eaten with different thoughts and unbearable silence.
The young man with cat eyes half-closed his eyes and quietly ate the classic soba set meal in front of him.
Such an ordinary scene has become the scene that Ling Furuya has been dreaming of for the past two months.
He would also be afraid that this was just a dream.
The look that Furiya Rei was giving Morobushi Kagemitsu was definitely not obvious. In fact, because Morobushi Takamiya was present, he subconsciously used his skills as an undercover investigator. At least after he no longer had to hide the fact that they knew each other, Matsuda Jinpei, who was always thinking about provoking Furiya Rei, did not notice it. However, the person who was being watched raised his cat's eyes and looked over, and happened to meet those purple-gray eyes.
Then both of them looked away.
After looking away, Furuya Rei began to feel annoyed again: when he was outside the hotel, he still had the courage to confess to Hiro that he was his suitor, but now he became too cautious because of Morobushi Takamaki's warning... Wouldn't that make Hiro think that his attitude towards him was not firm enough?
When he learned that Morobushi Kagemitsu had truly lost his memory, he felt a sense of loss at being forgotten, but also a selfish and despicable joy in his heart. This meant that Morobushi Kagemitsu had forgotten the pain that Furuya Rei had caused him, and the possibility that Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu could spend the rest of their lives together was not so slim.
The injuries that have been caused and the wounds left in the other person's heart, will be healed bit by bit by the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Fūya Rei stared back again.
Zhu Fu Jingguang silently increased his eating speed.
Zhu Fu Gaoming: "..."
He did not get involved in the eye-to-eye dispute between the two people. Now that he had finished eating, he put down his chopsticks.
The sound of chopsticks touching chopstick rest was very light, but it made the other three people present put down their chopsticks at the same time.
Zhu Fu Gaoming's expression was a little helpless. He was conscious of not saying or doing anything, but the young men in front of him, who were a few years younger than him, seemed to have varying degrees of awe towards him.
After confirming the kinship identification with Morufushi Kagemitsu and Fūya Rei again, he promptly notified Morufushi Takaaki that he would bring his parents to meet his brother, and then Morufushi Takaaki prepared to leave.
Before leaving the room, Zhu Fu Gaoming suddenly remembered something and turned to the other three people: "I have a question, what is your second gender?"
He is a beta and cannot sense pheromones.
The one who answered this question was Morobushi Kagemitsu: "I am an omega, Shen... Jinpei is an alpha, and Zero is also an alpha."
"Since Matsuda-kun is an alpha, why is he staying in a suite?" Zhufu Gaoming glanced at Furuya Ling again. "Although it's peak tourist season, given the location of this hotel, it's usually not full."
The corners of Furuya Rei's mouth unconsciously turned down as he stared intently at Morifushi Keimitsu. He was clearly standing only a short distance from Morifushi Keimitsu, but with his eyes and body language, he seemed to have carved out a space between him and Morifushi Keimitsu that belonged only to them.
Matsuda Jinpei turned his gaze away from Furuya Rei with disdain and replied to his brother with the same words he had given his younger brother: "I can't smell pheromones, so you can treat me as a Beta."
Zhu Fu Gaoming: "..."
He looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang, who didn't think anything was wrong at all - he was obviously used to it. He then looked at Furuya Ling, whose lips were curled even more obviously, resisted the urge to sigh, and left.
The highly qualified lawyer had no intention of interfering too much with his brother's social life whom he had not seen for more than ten years before the results of the appraisal came out, but the blond policeman was very rude. His strong execution ability was one of his great advantages.
So when the sound of Morobushi Takaaki's footsteps faded away, Furuya Rei took a half step closer to Morobushi Kagemitsu, unnoticedly separating him from Matsuda Jinpei, and asked, "If there's nothing important, Hiro, come back to Tokyo with me tonight, right?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang asked doubtfully, "But Zero just asked for a few strands of my brother's hair. Do I need to be there in person?"
Furuya Ling nodded: "It is true that only hair is needed for the identification, but since Hiro was once associated with that criminal group... I want to take this opportunity to give Hiro a full body check."
There really wasn't anything important. Summer vacation had just ended and the students I was teaching had all started school. As for the shop, I could just ask Miss Kamii from the vegetable shop next door to help post a notice of the closure. The only problem was... although the location was chosen by Morofushi Kagemitsu himself, he was essentially accompanying Matsuda Jinpei to look for his next job location.
Before Morifushi Jingguang could ask Matsuda Jinpei, the latter ruthlessly exposed Furuya Rei's thoughts: "Ha, the golden-haired bastard just simply doesn't want you to be with other alphas-"
Before he could finish his words, and before Furuya Rei could fight him again - the blond police officer still had a mark on his jaw from being hit by Matsuda Jinpei near the forest, which made Morobushi Kagemitsu quite concerned - Furuya Rei's phone vibrated.
It was probably a police cell phone. Fūya Rei walked a few steps away before answering it. The more he listened, the tighter his brows furrowed, his expression darkening. Finally, he angrily and harshly accused the person on the other end of the line, who was probably a subordinate: "Is this how you work as a police officer?"
After he hung up the phone, he called another number and gave some instructions.
At this time, Jinpei Matsuda's cell phone also rang.
The curly-haired officer raised his eyebrows when he saw the caller ID and explained to Morobushi Kagemitsu that it was the Kanagawa Prefectural Police whom he had asked to help see if anyone was looking for him.
The young man with cat eyes, eager to join in the fun, suggested that he play the song publicly. Then, Colleague A exclaimed, "Kanna-kun, how do you predict the outcome with such accuracy, like you're defusing a bomb? There's a handsome guy with medium-long hair coming from Tokyo to recruit you... though there's a guy with spiky hair next to him."
