Chapter 209 The Third Player
"What's wrong, Shirley-chan?" The smile on Xi Haiqingdou's face remained unchanged.
"...Nothing." Miyano Shiho pursed her lips.
I don't know why, but I feel like this guy has suddenly become weird after disappearing for a while? Is this an illusion?
Unable to resist the requests of Gin and Saikai Haruto, even though Miyano Shiho was reluctant, she had to temporarily suspend the experiment in her hands and hand it over to other experimenters, and then took Saikai Haruto to do the inspection.
Because of the special nature of the experiment, Gin did not stay long and left the laboratory soon. Nishimi Haruto did not try to persuade him to stay, and watched his back disappear outside the laboratory, then turned around and followed Miyano Shiho to another more special laboratory.
Although he should not know Miyano Shiho because he has "lost his memory", Gin still acts properly. On the way, he briefly summarizes "Sherry"'s situation to him - the head of the organization's drug research and development team, who just returned from the United States a few months ago, and he was responsible for monitoring her before he lost his memory.
After hearing Gin's description, Xi Haiqing Dou twitched his lips imperceptibly on the spot - equating "supervision" with "surveillance", which is very good and very Gin's style.
Of course, Gin didn't know the specific effects of the "medicine" that Miyano Shiho was studying, nor the relationship between the "medicine" and Saikai Haruto, so he naturally didn't talk about this with Saikai Haruto.
The so-called "comprehensive examination" is just a procedural examination for Gin every time "Hazen Chiaki" loses his memory. It is similar for Saikai Haruto - there is nothing strange about it, most of the time it just records the changes in various aspects of his body's functions. It is similar for Miyano Shiho.
"Why do you suddenly want to have a physical examination..." Miyano Shiho asked him casually while recording the data: "What's wrong with your body again?"
Although she was the head of the drug research and development team and took over the previous experiments of the Miyano couple, Shiho Miyano was completely unaware of the situation of either Vermouth or Cointreau - in the final analysis, she was only involved in the "development of aptx-4869".
Her question was simply a question about Saikai Haruto's physical condition during their previous "living together" - it was not an exaggeration to say that "Junto" suffered from a minor illness every three to five days, and another illness every ten days or half a month. Sometimes it really made people wonder how he had grown up to this age and how he had managed to survive in the organization and get a code name.
"Well, I'm not sure either." Xi Haiqing Dou narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Maybe there is a problem with my memory? But Shirley should be very clear about my physical condition, right?"
"Memory problem? Are you saying that you suddenly lost your memory? Or that you suddenly got Alzheimer's disease?" Miyano Shiho obviously thought he was joking, and she pulled the corner of her mouth calmly: "This joke is not very funny."
"Eh, it seems that Shirley-chan doesn't know either? But everything is possible." Xi Haiqingdou answered ambiguously.
"Tell Gin that the result will be given to him tomorrow." Miyano Shiho hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "By the way, since you are back... can I move it back from Gin's place?"
Although she didn't have much contact with Gin during this period - after all, Gin was very busy, and the two of them obviously had no overlap in their "work content", and in the ten days when Saikai Haruto was away, she met Gin only a few times, and even less than the number of times she met Vodka... But Gin's overly tough personality and arbitrary style of doing things still made Miyano Shiho extremely resistant.
To be honest, Miyano Shiho even suspected that Saikai Haruto threw her to Gin just to make a contrast for him and highlight himself... But it must be said that with Gin as a contrast, Miyano Shiho now feels that Saikai Haruto is perfect as a guardian.
"It seems that you like me so much, Shirley... But isn't it good to have Gin take care of you?" Xi Haiqingdou looked at her curiously, and shook his head with a smile: "I can't make the decision now, I need to wait for Gin's consent."
"...You are my guardian, right? Why do you need Gin's consent?"
Miyano Shiho automatically ignored the first half of his sentence. Perhaps it was because of Saikai Haruto's overly gentle and harmless attitude today that she had the illusion that "you can say anything", so she directly "reported" to him: "I don't think there is anything to recommend Gin's 'care'."
"Well... because now Gin can probably be considered my guardian?" Saikai Haruto clasped her hands together and supported her chin, making a very girlish gesture with an innocent look on her face: "So even if I agree, it won't work. Gin must agree as well."
“Cough cough cough cough…!”
Miyano Shiho was so shocked by the news that he started coughing violently. He was unable to recover for a long time and thought he had heard it wrongly: "What did you say?"
What did she hear just now...?! Was it an auditory hallucination? Was it an auditory hallucination?
"After all, I am just a weak and pitiful patient who cannot take care of myself in terms of daily life or other actions."
Xi Haiqingdou sighed in a pretentious manner, without showing any guilt on his face: "A kind-hearted person like Jin-chan, of course he can't leave me alone. If I hadn't urged him so much, I guess he would have even planned to let me move in with him during this period of time... Oh, Jin-chan is just too kind-hearted, it's really frustrating that I don't know how to refuse."
"Warm-hearted" and "kind-hearted person"... Is this guy talking about Gin?
The “weak and pitiful” “patient”, is this him?
Miyano Shiho's expression suddenly became indescribable: Between him and Gin, one of them must have gone crazy, right?
"If you really want to move in with me, Shirley, I don't mind, but you'd better get Gin's consent first, otherwise he might be unhappy."
"You are really weird today."
Miyano Shiho looked at him in confusion: "Your relationship with Gin... is it really that good?" She was getting goosebumps.
"Of course." With his golden eyes narrowed, Xi Haiqing Dou smiled at her calmly: "Jin-chan is the person I trust the most. Even if you lose your memory, you won't change."
The shock this sentence brought to Miyano Shiho was obviously extraordinary, and she even subconsciously ignored some of the abnormalities in it. She couldn't help but close her eyes, and suddenly she hated herself for not being deaf and why she asked this question - in less than half a month, there was no change, how come this guy became more... perverted?
"Do you think I would believe it?"
He must have said that on purpose, right? Recalling the scenes he had seen before when Saikai Haruto and Gin were getting along, Miyano Shiho didn't believe that he was telling the truth at all. With a paralyzed face, she just felt that he was saying that on purpose to evade her question.
It was easy to guess what Miyano Shiho was thinking, and Saikai Haruto couldn't help but chuckle, "Oh my, I'm telling the truth."
Seriously, these days no one even believes the truth... The world is going downhill and people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be.
"Oh, by the way, when the results come out, Shirley-chan, remember to give me a copy as well." Nishimi Haruto slowly put on her half-taken-off clothes one by one, and finally casually draped her large black coat over her shoulders, and waved to Miyano Shiho: "Then, I'll go back first."
As usual, we took Gin's car back home, but this time the driver was replaced by Vodka.
After rejecting Gin's other messy requests, Saikai Haruto returned to his original residence alone. Standing in front of the door, he belatedly touched all the pockets of his clothes - ah, he didn't seem to have brought his keys?
So Gin, who had just left, soon received another call from "Yuen Chiaki": "Moshimoshi-Jin-chan, I don't seem to have brought my key, what should I do if I can't open the door?"
"..." Gin said calmly: "Change the address, or pick the lock yourself - you can."
"Okay!" Xi Haiqing Dou hung up the phone happily.
"Moshimoshi--Jinjiang, what should I do if there is no food at home?"
"Zhen-chan, do you know which computer my previous mission reports and data are stored on?"
"Zhenjiang..."
"Yu, Yuan, Qian, Qiu."
After answering the phone for the umpteenth time, veins popped out on the back of Gin's hand and forehead as he gripped the phone tightly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you a piece of garbage?"
"How can you say that to me, Jin-chan? It's really sad. Of course I do that, but I just want you to have a little more involvement in my life, so that I can feel more at ease." Xi Hai Qing Dou felt that he was wronged: "Aren't you worried about me being alone?"
So this guy did it on purpose, right?
This time Gin hung up the phone without hesitation.
Wow, Gin's endurance has increased.
Looking at the hung up call, Xi Haiqingdou blinked regretfully.
It turns out that "amnesia" is better... If it was released before, Gin would probably have hung up on him before he finished the first call.
He threw the phone aside, put the necklace he had pulled out of his pocket back into his pocket, supported his chin with one hand, opened the file in his computer that had been encrypted countless times, and it was not until half an hour later that he read through all the files, closed them again, and encrypted them again layer by layer.
"Oh my... I thought my intuition was right after all."
The light from the computer monitor cast a tragic light on the white-haired young man's face. The young man had an incomprehensible smile on his face. He was silent for a long time before he sighed, "I knew I was a good person."
