【Niji】Death of it

- Screeching brakes.

"Are you going to roll over in public!" Gene complained in a super low voice.

The locomotive stopped and was parked outside the dessert shop.

Nino heard Gene's complaints, but for a moment he was at a loss and didn't know how to respond. He parked the car, and he didn't recover until they entered the store together.

Seeing Lota waving to them on the second floor, Gene nodded, and after walking two steps, he realized that Nino hadn't followed. He couldn't help poking him back with amused and innocent words: "I said, did I say that? Isn't it time?"

"No, no, of course not." Nino immediately returned to his senses and refuted him seriously, took a few deep breaths, and forced himself to hold back his emotions. It's not a good time to wander off.

The two went upstairs, and a couple who were at the same table as Lota and Leil had already stood up, smiling and nodding to them.

Nino immediately returned a salute. Gene took this occasion very seriously. He looked the same as usual, but he was actually quite nervous. He put his hand in his pocket and touched the cigarette case, and then he remembered that it is best not to light a cigarette here. , gave up the idea of ​​handing Lei's father a cigarette, and handed over the gift that he had been picking for several days.

Lei's parents had obviously been informed of Nino's identity, and they were very kind to him: "Mr. Jean, Mr. Nino."

Nino smiled and said, "It's the first time we met, Jin and I are juniors, please give me more advice in the future."

Lei's parents looked at each other, and they had an intuitive understanding of the closeness between Nino and the siblings, and they spoke more confidently: "Also please give me more advice. Please sit down."

Leier's parents were both teachers, and they spoke very softly, but his father still showed a little bit of temper in his speech. It seems that Leier inherited some of his temperament from his father.Gene observed while talking, and finally came to a conclusion in his mind. ①

Lota had visited their home before, and this time the meeting was mainly for small talk and conversations between parents.Nino can talk, Gene has a very sincere attitude, and Rael's parents are easy to get along with, and the group of people have a good chat.

After talking for more than an hour without knowing it, Leyle looked at the time and poked his father's arm: "Hey, didn't you say something happened?"

"Ah, yes," Rael's father said, "The school is approaching the exam, and there will be a pre-examination meeting in a while, and we both have to attend, so we need to leave first."

"Then I won't delay you."

After saying goodbye to Rael's parents, Lota said she wanted to go out with Rael.Gene followed them with mixed feelings, and sat down with Nino to continue chatting.

Nino stirred his own chocolate coffee, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I investigated him carefully at the very beginning, and the background in the house is quite clean, but probably because of the clean background, he has no connections or temper. It's a bit extreme, but now I feel much better after spending more time with Lota, but I was a bit thorny at the beginning."

"That's right." Although he was not a member of his own department, nor the headquarters, Gene had read Rael's information by accident.The two of them haven't really investigated Leyle in private, and they won't let them fall in love—although it sounds a little illegal.

"Love changes people." Gene sighed again, deeply feeling that his sister was like a little sun.

Nino glanced at Gene, and suddenly asked, "What about you, do you feel any changes in yourself?"

Gene heard the implication, and blinked slowly: "No..."

Nino bit the tip of his tongue, his heart ached, he didn't know what he was going to say.

"After all," Gene smiled, "we've always been like this."

There was a ding, and Gene looked at his phone. There was a message from ACCA headquarters. The third negotiation with the Froven District still failed, but Chief Grosula's private communication was restored, and there was no bad news, so Everyone can feel relieved for the time being—of course, private monitoring is still necessary.

He thought for a while, but still didn't understand: "Didn't you work under Chief Grosula before?"

"Yeah." Nino nodded, looked at the information on the phone he handed over, read it quickly, and raised his eyebrows, "Although I can't guess why, but... Judging from that person's temperament, there is indeed no It's dangerous, don't worry too much."

Gene understood and picked up his phone.

The desserts and drinks were all used up, so the two of them checked out and went out.

Gene straddled the locomotive and patted the seat in front of him: "Come on, Driver Nino."

He always likes to tease like this, Nino got into the car with a smile, put on his helmet and said, "Hold on."

"Yes—" Gene elongated his voice and wrapped his wrist around his waist.

Gene watched the scenery on the side of the road passing by, and suddenly felt something was wrong when he came back to his senses: "Um...Nino, is this going to your house?"

"En." Nino's voice came from the front.

Gene froze for a moment, pursing his lips.

Well, let him be then.

When the car got downstairs, it suddenly started to rain.

The rain came too fast, Nino and Gene trotted for two steps, but their shoulders were still wet.

They hurried upstairs and returned home. Nino took off his coat and threw it on the coat rack. Inside was a white shirt with a layer of fleece, which was protected by the coat and did not get wet.

Gene also took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack, and changed his shoes: "Hey Nino, change your shoes, are you so casual at home?"

"Ah, I forgot." Nino replied casually.

Nino opened the refrigerator door and looked with his head. There was nothing left in the refrigerator, and there were only two cans of beer and one can of coffee left to drink.He took out the beer and looked back at Gene who was already sitting on the sofa and turned on the TV: "Beer?"

"Ah."

Nino opened the beer and put it in front of him, watched the program on TV, it was news, it was Gene's usual style.He picked up the remote control, changed a few channels, and switched to a channel that was playing a movie.

"Is it hot?" He asked casually.

In fact, this sentence is unnecessary at all, because it is not only a bit cold because of the sun going down, but also raining, the windows are open, and the cold air is coming in from the outside.

Although there was a little heat just going upstairs, it dissipated quickly as soon as I sat down.

Gene looked at him amusedly: "Hot?"

"No, it's not." Nino reacted, scratching his hair, "I'm going to close the window."

"Oh, no need, it's not very cold." Gene shook his head and took the beer, "Is there no other drink?"

Nino shrugged: "There is still a can of coffee and a pack of biscuits left in the refrigerator. What do you want?"

"Let's go out and buy some later." Gene made a final decision.

So the two of them waited drowsily for the rain to stop while watching the boring movie, tacitly did not mention those things in the afternoon.

The rain stopped as expected, but because of the heavy rain, there were still traces of rain on the ground outside, and there were a few small puddles.

Going shopping instead of working, Gene dropped his leather shoes for a pair of sneakers—he kept a few pairs at Nino's house, which also had Nino's shoes.

Gene touched the shallow water with the toe of his shoe, and held a cigarette in one hand: "Buy some fruit, for a while."

"Okay. Do you want to have dinner here later?" Nino asked.

"Of course——" Gene was a bit reluctant, but the reason for the reluctance was not Nino's invitation, but Lota's text message—she was going out to eat with Rael again, and it was fine for Gene to go home alone Meaning, going out to eat is worse than staying with Nino.

But Luota seems to eat out a little too often, next time she should tell her that it's okay to invite Leier to the house.thought Gene.

Knowing the reason, Nino didn't care about his tone: "What do you want to eat?"

"Curry!" Gene said excitedly.

For some reason, Lota's culinary skills are obviously very good, but she always fails when making curry, and Nino just makes up for this, so Gene has a soft spot for Nino's curry.

"OK." Nino smiled dotingly, as expected.

The two walked into the supermarket. Gene pushed a shopping cart and looked at it while walking: "Buy more things? You don't even have any chocolates. You can imagine how empty your home is now."

For his teasing, Nino never refused: "Well, let's go to each district."

Shopping together is like taking a walk or eating together. How can the happy time be too long?

So then they are hoarding supplies like crazy, they will look around every time they go to a district, and then you take one, I take one, and put things in the shopping cart.

The following dialogue occurred many times:

"Hey, Gene, your toothbrush seems to have expired, I got one?"

"Ah, OK, the towels...should I change them too?"

"Probably, ah, don't take so much soap, I can't use it all up."

"But... I want to buy it too..."

"Okay, then you put it in."

In the end, various items appeared in the shopping cart, including household items, food, snacks and drinks, chocolate and strawberries, some vegetable seasonings for curry rice, and even a doll of Akajun.

When it was time to checkout, Gene pushed the shopping cart to Nino, poked him in the waist, and let him go, but he didn't want to go, probably because he felt a little embarrassed.

The aroma of curry rice came out, and like a cat attracted by food, Gene sauntered over, took a few glances, and sat down on the dining table to prepare for dinner.

Nino served the meal, opened a bottle of newly purchased whiskey, and poured a glass.

Gene smiled and pretended to stop him: "Hey, hey, you're thinking about drinking before you eat."

Nino pushed the poured glass to him and poured half of it himself: "It's for you. Do you want to drink?"

Gene didn't answer, but reached for the wine glass.

Although the pairing may seem a bit odd, the flavors are still great.Because he wanted to drink, Nino didn't cook too much. After the dishes were washed up, there was still half a bottle of wine left.

But Dachang and the others usually don’t drink too much alcohol, and they drink less whiskey. This time they bought a relatively high alcohol concentration, so both of them drank a little too much.

Gene took his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lota, saying that he would not go back at night and would stay at Nino's house.After a while, Nino received a text message from Lota: Take a good rest~

Nino: ...

At present, there is only one bed in his house, which is neither wide nor narrow.After drinking, the heat gradually emerged. Nino unbuttoned his shirt and looked at Gene who was paralyzed on the bed: "Take off your clothes. Take a shower?"

"Uh...wash." Gene murmured, not knowing whether to wash it or not, and was dragged by Nino to the bathroom, where he rinsed off a little alcohol smell.

In fact, both of them were a little hairy, so they washed their hair twice in a daze. Before they seriously shampooed their hair, Nino wrapped it stickily: "Well, it's cold."

"Huh?" Gene didn't know why.

He suddenly heard a beep, and he was stunned for two seconds, thinking it was like a mobile phone: "It's finished, I'll go and have a look..."

Nino stopped him: "No hurry."

"Just now the headquarters sent... well, a message, probably from Chief Grosula..." Gene stepped out of the bathtub a little too slowly, muttering.

Nino's expression darkened, he stretched out his hand to bring him back, and whispered in his ear, "I've been fine for a long time, why do you keep thinking about him? Someone is thinking about him."

Gene frowned, unable to react, and was dragged back: "What?"

"He's back. Frowan has lifted his 'imprisonment'. You can rest assured." Nino smelled strongly of vinegar.

However, Gene was probably fumigated by wine and water vapor, and his rationality and thinking were all left behind. He didn't hear this jealousy, and he hummed: "That's good. I'm done washing."

"Do something else after washing." Nino reached out to support the back of his head and kissed it.

After two seconds, Gene seemed to sense what happened. He blinked his eyes and pushed him, but he was firmly held back and couldn't help but tilt his head: "Uh... let's go..."

"No." Nino had time to answer him, and then kissed his Adam's apple.

Gene, who was confused in his head, had a moment of clarity, and the eternally loyal and reliable dog-like eyes were replaced by wolf-like eyes shining brightly, which made his crisis feel a little bit cold, but it was immediately covered up again.

He remembered his confession and the identities of the two of them now.Now that you have agreed to the other party, you can no longer push and resist.

Gene's broken sigh was swallowed in his throat.

Next chapter: Black in white under the shadow of colorful flowers

"There is always some malice in the colorful flowers,"

"Who knows,"

"Where there is white, there is black, and behind the light there must be shadows."

①Actually, I forgot whether the original book had a specific account of Rael’s background. I just remember that he was quite poor?Then Rael was a little bit jealous of the rich.
