Chapter 143
As expected, Furuya Rei's sleep is very light, and the slightest disturbance will make his muscles, which have finally relaxed, tense up again. The last time Kono Seira saw someone so alert even when sleeping was Hibari Kyoya, who "can be woken up by a falling leaf".
Although he was a little tired from the long journey, his nerve cells were still very excited. He adjusted himself to a more convenient position and closed his eyes.
He closed his eyes every five minutes, and with the help of the system's night vision function, he felt relieved when he saw that Furukaya Rei was still sleeping soundly.
In order to make his words "I'm watching you, you won't leave" more credible, Kono Seira even offered an arm and said, "Hold my hand, the pillow won't grow legs and run away."
Furiya Ling looked a little amused, but still reached out and wrapped her hands around his fingers: "In that case, why don't we sleep together? A single bed can be squeezed together."
Kono Seira said honestly, "I was afraid I would fall asleep."
Fūya Rei: “…”
The blond young man laughed, and relaxed for once in a while, pulling his chair closer to the head of the bed.
The lights in the room were turned off. In the darkness, Gong Ye Shengliang felt the dry and warm palm and the gradually steady breathing.
He silently said good night in his heart and concentrated on playing the role of half a pillow.
…
…
The first hint of paleness appeared in the eastern sky, marking dawn.
When Gongye Shengliang was about to fall asleep, he suddenly woke up, only to see that the person who should have been sleeping in the bed was sitting next to him. There was a faint light in his purple-gray eyes, and there was no sign of sleepiness in them. He didn't know how long he had been awake.
He was very embarrassed and asked in a low voice, a little sheepishly, how was the quality of his sleep that night.
Fūya Rei thought for a moment and said helplessly, "It seems like I had a very long dream, but I forgot the specific content."
“Eh——”
Just as Gong Ye Shengliang was feeling sorry for this, he heard the blond young man chuckle again: "But I still remember its taste."
It was the first time he heard such a statement. Gongye Shengliang wanted to ask curiously, but when he moved, he accidentally pulled something. His insensitive forearm seemed to be suddenly awakened, and it felt numb as if it was stabbed with needles.
He was caught off guard and let out a hissing sound, feeling as if a piece of mosaic was connected below his elbow.
"Is your hand numb?" Jōgiya Ling frowned and pulled his wrist.
In order to speed up the blood flow, he used some force when massaging, and the effect was similar to that of electric currents swirling in the mosaic ocean.
Harry, who was lying in the nest, also woke up. When he heard the sound, he ran over happily and asked for a hug.
Despite his disabled body, Kono Seiyoshi was determined to use his other hand to stroke the puppy, and was licked several times with tears in his eyes.
With a gentle pressure, the discomfort in his forearm gradually faded away, and he regained normal consciousness. He shook off the last bit of numbness in his fingertips and raised his hand to stroke the hair twice out of habit: "Thank you——"
Wait, does this feel a little off?
Fūya Rei, who was killed by being patted on the head, opened his eyes wide, which were somewhat similar to Haro's round puppy eyes.
...Shit! I made a mistake!
Kono Seiryoshi's face flushed and he fumbled to explain, "Sorry, sorry! It just happened so easily..."
Furuya Rei: “Pfft.”
He covered his lips with the back of his hand and laughed softly, then quickly coughed and said, "Actually, a pat on the head is fine."
Kono Seiryoshi fell into deep thought and asked carefully, "Hello?"
Furuya Rei paused for a moment and said, "It's all right."
When Harry heard his name, he perked up and looked back, blinking his eyes. "Woof!"
A large dark hand covered its small head and rubbed it.
The puppy heard another voice that did not belong to its owner, with a softer pronunciation, and it liked it too:
"Want to go for a walk, hello?"
…
…
This night was not guarded in vain. At least according to Kono Seira's observation, Furuya Rei's condition had improved a lot.
Although her expression dimmed for a moment when she heard him say he had to go home first, she still held Harry's front paw and said goodbye with a smile.
Zhenping has a cat, Ling has a puppy, the class monitor has a wife, and Yan Er doesn't have anything, but he has a group of female fans inside and outside the hall.
There is still one person left to be seen.
Kono Seiryoshi thought of using the same method to find Morobushi Kagemitsu, but unfortunately it didn't work.
The safe house where he had stayed for a few days became empty the day he was taken away by Gin, and the organization's construction plan in Yokohama was also suspended.
According to the intelligence we have found, Scotch is currently carrying out a secret mission somewhere unknown. Perhaps only the real senior executives of the organization, Gin and Rum - or maybe even Bermode - know his current location.
Gin probably won't tell him the truth, Kimino Seiryo thought secretly. Rum probably wants to assassinate him more. He can still communicate with Vermouth, but the whereabouts of the Thousand-Faced Witch are more bizarre and she could be anywhere in the world.
In fact, the most convenient way is to ask your superiors for help. Both the Vongola and the Fuuki Foundation have specialized intelligence departments, and they can get the job done in less than a day.
But I have a feeling that if Senior Hibari finds out, things will get out of control...
After much thought, Kono Seiryoshi chose the simplest method and sent a text message to Scotch and Morobushi Keimitsu's numbers respectively, not knowing when they would be seen.
Then it’s just like what’s written in the book—wait and hope.
Great reading.
A few busy days passed.
That night, after finishing a multinational meeting and staring at the screen for too long, Gongye Shengliang's sleepiness was driven away and he got up to pour some milk.
These days, whether he is at home or not, he habitually leaves a window half-open and never closes it when he goes to bed at night. The season is just right, it is not cold with the window open, and the natural white noise when the night breeze blows is very hypnotic.
It doesn't seem possible tonight.
After taking off his headphones, the sound of soft rain flooded into his ears. Gongye Shengliang thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly ran to close the window.
Fortunately, the wind was blowing in the opposite direction of the window, so only the window frame got wet. He checked the switch, and after making sure it was all right, he sat back on the comfortable sofa with the milk in his hand.
The dim environment without lights on was perfect for watching a movie. Gongye Shengliang reached for the remote control and was about to randomly change a channel when he suddenly froze.
The TV screen was still on a blue screen, with light reflected in one corner. It wasn't bright, but it was enough for him to notice a shadow in the house.
There were no traces of entry, no energy fluctuations, and they just appeared out of nowhere - in this case, he usually mistook them for ghosts.
I don't know if the flames will work on Ah Piao.
Although Kono Seiryoshi was thinking calmly, his body was out of control and his calves seemed to be cramped and he couldn't move.
As if noticing his stiff reaction, the shadow in the corner moved and gradually lengthened.
It's a human.
People are much easier to deal with than ghosts. Gongye Shengliang should have been relieved, but his eyelashes suddenly twitched.
His heart beat faster and he even wanted to get up and push away the dark mist.
Before he could move, the mist dissipated on its own the next second.
The hood fell down, and in the darkness, he met a pair of eyes as clear as water.
“ひ、ろ（hi、ro）……”
Gongye Shengliang remained silent.
The owner of the blue eyes stopped talking and shook his head.
His body was still damp from the rain, and when he half-knelt on the carpet, the dampness suddenly crashed like a wave against the rocks.
The tide rises when the moon rises.
The clenched fist suddenly loosened, and the trembling could be clearly seen.
Zhu Fu Jingguang lowered his head and slowly placed it between his knees.
The author has something to say:
*The final pose is one sitting and one kneeling, with the head resting on the knees, which feels very beautiful so [pretend with picture]
*Hiro, you are finally here (tears) Now I can write some stories about sleeping together! (No!)
