Chapter 142

After understanding what he should do, although he wanted to act immediately, Kono Seiryoshi still had to take some time to deal with the trash talk from Byakuran.

Since Bai Lan lost the authority to control the system, she has become much more obedient. She would send a few messages from time to time, but he set them to do not disturb and ignored them all.

Kono Seiryoshi quickly glanced through it, and this time, the trash talker was particularly interested in asking him how he felt after the world merged, and who he would stand on if everyone started fighting. He also mentioned that he was more optimistic about Tsunayoshi and so on.

Although they were just netizens who had never met each other, Gong Ye Shengliang still sincerely hoped that Bai Lan would see a doctor.

Ignoring Shiran, Kono Seiryoshi spent a day investigating the recent movements of the Karasuma Group. This was neither easy nor difficult.

Anyway, by the time he had almost finished dealing with everything, it was already evening.

The only light left on in the café was the chandelier over the bar. His light blond hair gradually became blurry in his eyes.

The upright shoulders under his palms were also trembling very slightly, and in a trance, Gongye Shengliang could even feel the spreading warmth in the hollow of his neck.

“Zero…Zero.”

He didn't know what to say and subconsciously called out the other person's name.

This sound seemed to wake up Rei Furuya. He was startled at first, then he stood up and held his shoulder, and asked with red eyes: "Did Gin do anything to you after that? Are you okay these days? Are you injured anywhere? It's dangerous to come here so late——"

The more he spoke, the redder his eyes became, and his anxious concern revealed a hint of uncontrollable coldness.

Being bombarded with so many questions, Gongye Shengliang held the back of his hand, using physical contact to comfort him as much as he could, and answered them one by one in a soft voice:

"Gin didn't do anything. I escaped halfway and met a kind person. I've been doing well these days, but I was a little busy and couldn't come to see you in time. Don't worry, I can protect myself and the important people now."

When Furuya Rei heard the latter part, his gaze relaxed slightly, but the tight grip on his shoulders did not decrease. The blond young man's lips moved slightly, and just as he was about to say something, a dull metal collision sound suddenly came from outside the street, suddenly piercing the ears in the silent night.

Fūya Rei entered a state of alert almost instantly.

He grabbed Gongye Shengliang's back and held him in his arms, then squatted down with the cover of the wall, and at the same time quickly turned off the light switch on the side of the door.

It took less than two seconds to complete all of the above.

Kono Seiryoshi was protected by him and quickly called up the system to confirm that there were no enemies around the cafe.

To be precise, there was no one except the two of them.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to tell Lingshi when he was suddenly stunned.

In the darkness, he could not see Furuya Rei's expression, and the latter did not make any sound, but Kono Seiryoshi could clearly feel his extremely suppressed breathing.

The muscles beneath his shirt were taut and bulging, as hard as rock through which magma has flowed.

This state is more like over-stress than defense.

Kono Seiryoshi realized something was wrong later, and the expression of the blond young man at the beginning flashed through his mind.

Whether it's Furuya Rei, Amuro Toru, or even Hajime himself, there's a dangerous and oppressive feeling that is very rare.

His heart tightened at his association, and he tried to hug the person in front of him and comforted him repeatedly: "It's okay, Zero, believe me, there is no one outside." Gongye Shengliang paused and said, "I'm right here."

As if to verify his words, there was a sound of heavy objects falling outside, and at the same time a frightened cat's meow was heard, and the culprit fled the scene at the speed of light.

Furiya Rei silently hugged him tightly, and his tense body gradually relaxed.

After a while, he said hoarsely: "...I turned on the light."

The lights at the bar came on again. It was not too close to the door and was not too glaring.

Fūya Rei lowered his eyes, his voice was a little sluggish, "I'm sorry, I can't seem to control myself."

Kono Seiryoshi shook his head and put his hand on his forehead. He was relieved when he found that the temperature had returned to normal.

But soon I started to worry about another thing - now is a bad time.

He came in too much of a hurry and arrived just before the café closed, ignoring that it was late at night and that everyone should have been off work and back to rest by now.

He had no plan as to where to go or what to do next.

While Kono Seira was still thinking hard about his next move, Furuya Rei seemed to see his hesitation and stood up and said softly, "Wait a moment, I'll clean up the store first."

As he walked past the bar, Rei Furutani picked up the key, held it in his palm, and walked towards the kitchen.

He had already cleaned the place and locked the door. After a brief pause, he took out the key smoothly again.

During this break, the store was quiet again. Kono Seiryoshi had done some research on the way and found that the Poirot Cafe was in a good location and that a famous detective lived upstairs. The cafe's decoration was warm and stylish, and he couldn't help but be curious about what Furuya Rei looked like when he worked here.

Just as I was daydreaming, my thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a series of clanging sounds.

The door to the kitchen was half open, and Kono Seiryoshi walked towards the direction of the sound. Seeing him coming, Furuya Rei, who was standing in front of the sink, immediately put his hands behind his back and apologized: "Maybe you have to wait for me for another two minutes..."

Although he moved quickly, Kono Seiryoshi still spotted a few streaks of light red blood in the sink.

He was startled and took two steps forward. "Where is the bleeding? Is it serious?"

There are no wounds on the front, and it happened in a place like the kitchen. Was the hand injured by the kitchen utensils?

Furiya Ling wanted to say that nothing happened, but when he saw the young man's furrowed brows and worried lips, he paused for a moment, then he stretched out the back of his hand that he had just washed and cleaned, and whispered, "I got scratched accidentally, it's not serious."

He was not lying. The cut was not deep, but it was not short either. It ran from the thumb to the ring finger, and the bleeding had not stopped completely.

When Gongye Shengliang got the medical kit, blood was oozing out of the wound again.

In the end, most of his palm was wrapped in gauze. He was distressed when he saw it, but Furuya Rei didn't care much. After the bandage was finished, he said calmly: "Are you going home?"

"I..." Unexpectedly, the other party asked this question first. After a moment of silence, Kono Seiryoshi asked, "What about Zero? Are you planning to go home?"

Fūya Ling lowered his eyes and glanced at his left hand wrapped in gauze, "... Yeah." He raised his eyes and smiled, "There is a child waiting for me at home."

Kono Seira was startled. Before he could comprehend the meaning of this sentence, the blond young man looked at him again with a smile: "Yuki, do you like dogs?"

----

I like it, of course I like it.

It's furry and warm, and if you can get along well with it, you can even go a step further and hug it.

So, we went home together.

Kono Seiryoshi struggled for a while, but then he was relieved. As long as he had a place to stay, it would be fine. The only trouble with staying at someone else's house was the owner of the house. However, the owner didn't mind and welcomed him warmly, so there was no problem, right?

"Come to my house next time. Even though we don't have a puppy, we can have a cat." He suggested to Rei Furuya seriously.

Fūya Rei smiled and nodded and said yes.

As soon as the door opened, the white puppy lying on the floor waiting for its owner to come home immediately ran over excitedly. But when it saw a stranger at first sight, its round blue eyes were full of curiosity.

Kouno Seiyoshi introduced himself: "Nice to meet you. Hello, I'm Kouno. Thank you for your guidance."

The puppy was not shy at all. It circled around him twice, put its nose close to him to sniff him, and woofed twice while wagging its tail.

Furutani Rei closed the door, patted Haro's head, and asked the two of them to stay in the living room for a while to get acquainted with each other.

Haro is small in size, with white fur, especially the fluffy and soft tail, like a big ball of fur. He used to be a stray dog, and met Rei Furuya under a bridge on a rainy day, and then he stuck to him.

When Furiya Rei came out of the bathroom, Kono Seira was kneeling on the tatami and playing with the puppy with a toy, and Haro was visibly happy, with his tail shaking like a propeller.

The young man's eyes were clear and full of smiles: "Good boy, Hello, and very smart. Do you like this ball?"

Furutani Rei stood quietly by and took in everything.

I stared at it for too long, and when my sight shifted to the wall, the outline of the scene appeared before my eyes again, blurred by the mist.

He blinked and exhaled deeply, making himself look no different from his usual self, then he chuckled and said, "Don't be fooled by its obedient appearance. It's actually very stubborn."

"Oh, really?"

Kono Seiryoshi looked at Furuya Rei, then looked at the puppy that was wagging its tail obediently, and immediately felt that one should not judge a dog by its appearance.

"Yeah, when they weren't adopted, they would stay on the roof of my car and wait outside the door all night for me to leave, and even - ah, "

Fūya Rei suddenly paused.

"Woof?"

Harold, who couldn't understand human language, looked at him with innocent puppy eyes.

——In order to attract his attention, she even hurt herself on purpose and got in front of him.

Furiya Rei lowered his head and glanced at his left hand wrapped in gauze: "..."

Hello: ovo

He suddenly lost his voice in the middle of the conversation. Kono Seiryo stroked the puppy's furry head and asked curiously, "What happened next?"

"..." Furiya Ling looked at him subtly and coughed, "It looked so pitiful shivering in the rain, so I took it home to give it a bath."

This time, Harry understood and woofed happily to show his agreement.

Kono Seira also laughed, "That's great, hello." He looked at Furuya Rei and lowered his voice a little, "That's great, Rei."

The light in Fūya Rei's eyes flickered slightly, and after several seconds, he raised the corners of his mouth and walked towards them.

…

…

While chatting about irrelevant topics and playing with the puppy, before we knew it, it was 11 o'clock in the evening.

Haro yawned twice, obviously feeling sleepy. He rubbed against the two humans one by one, and obediently returned to the nest with his name written on it. Soon, he began to snort softly.

The single apartment that Furuya Rei rented was not big, with only a single bed, but after putting away the coffee table, he could sleep on the tatami.

Fūya Ling glanced at the time displayed on his phone calmly, raised his head and said softly: "I still have some work to deal with, Yuki, you should take a rest first."

As he was about to stand up, his clothes were pulled back.

Fūya Ling was stunned for a moment, turned around and met a pair of disapproving golden eyes, who asked him: "What kind of job? In a store, in the police, or in an organization?"

Furuya Rei paused.

In fact, there was no unfinished work, he just... didn't want to let him go.

But even if it was an excuse, I didn't want to make him worry.

So he pretended to smile and said, "It's a regular report from the public security team."

Gongye Shengliang slowly frowned: "Does it have to be completed today?"

It's already this late, and Zero's hand is injured - since it's a regular report, it shouldn't be too urgent.

As he thought about this, he suddenly remembered another thing, "Zero, what time do you usually go to bed?"

It was such a simple question, but Furuya Rei was stumped: "This..."

The light ball raised his hand and answered: [I know, I know, he only sleeps 90 minutes a day. Wow, challenging the limits of human beings.]

Kono Seiryoshi: “…”

He made a prompt decision, held down Furuya Ling's shoulders, and pushed him towards the bed without saying anything: "Okay, I get it, go to bed, I'll watch over you."

Furukaya Rei was in a daze the whole time, and when he came to his senses, he was already lying in the soft bedding. He suddenly woke up with a start.

"etc……!"

"Huh?" Kono Seiryoshi was puzzled.

He moved a chair over and placed it exactly at the head of the bed.

Furiya Rei stopped talking.

After calming down, he realized that although the method was reversed, it seemed... the result was similar?

The author has something to say:

This chapter is a victory for the cute puppy!

(Why do they all seem to be a bit dark?)

Although Zero has used the same trick since childhood, his rank has improved. Great!
