Chapter28

After Nishio recovered from his injury, he came to work in a coffee shop under the advice of Mr. Kaneki and Yoshimura.

Jiu Ji woke up early, went to the company to order a meal, and then went to the coffee shop to have breakfast.

The Anding area has not yet opened, and the waiters are making preparations before opening the store. In the store, only Dikou's mother and son who live here temporarily are drinking coffee in the corner.

Kaneki brought coffee and two sandwiches cut into equilateral triangles. Seeing Jiuji stuttering seriously, his cheeks puffed up like a hamster, he was in a very happy mood.

Gu Jian Yuan'er threw away a wrung-out rag, and put on an air of seniority. "Come and help!"

"Ah, yes! I'm sorry!" Kaneki hurriedly went to work.

After a while, Yongjin also came over. Seeing Jiuji's sandwiches, he shouted hungry. As soon as Jiuji finished eating one piece, he pushed the other one over with the plate, and asked concerned: "Didn't you eat breakfast?"

"I ate it, I just wanted to see if you would give it to me." Yongjin pushed the plate back. "You've been playing with Kaneki all the time recently, and it's not even rain or dew at all. But it turns out that you still love me."

Kuji took the plate back wordlessly.

Yong Jin ordered a cappuccino, Jiu Ji asked for a refill of the coffee, and began to eat the second sandwich.

Kaneki chatted with them while wiping the table, until Nishio Nishiki came out of the back room after changing into the waiter's clothes.

"Nishio-senpai?!"

"Yo Yongjin, you still put on a bug face as always."

Yongjin sprayed a mouthful of coffee on the table, Jiuji escaped quickly, and Kaneki hurried over to wipe the table. "Kyuki, didn't you splash it?"

Kuki shook his head.

Yongjin looked at the displeased Xiwei, and couldn't help joking: "Speaking of which, senior Xiwei, the more I look at you, the more I feel that you don't match the style of Anding District."

"Be careful, I'll kick you out." He glanced at Jiu Ji secretly, seeing that he didn't respond, he calmed down a little and continued to talk nonsense with Yong Jin. "Besides, our store is not open yet."

"By the way, why does the senior come to work in Anding District?"

Nishio frowned, turned his eyes away, and said in a low mood, "Nah, I also have many reasons."

Yong Jin was startled, and then he looked terrified, as if he was facing an enemy: "Could it be because of Dong Xiangjiang..."

Nishio seemed to have heard a big joke: "Who would treat that kind of single-celled woman...!"

"You don't want to meet anyone as if you are meeting a rival in love." Jiuji took a bite of the sandwich and chewed it slowly.At the same time, I thought about a question: Is it because he likes Kaneki Ken and the other party is a boy, so he can't see where Touka Kirishima is cute?

"Speaking of which, is Dong Xiangjiang still not feeling well?"

Jiu Ji swallowed the sandwich and said, "Who knows." Dong Xiang hasn't come to work since the day he came back from church.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of slapping the table from Dikou's mother and daughter who were quietly drinking coffee in the corner.Ms. Ryoko looked sadly at her daughter, who rushed up against the table, crying: "Hina...Hina just wants to live with Dad!" Then she ran back to the second floor of the coffee shop and never came down again.

"What happened?" Yongjin was curious.

"Who knows. There are always troubles in life." Nishio shrugged and spread his hands, and was immediately seen by Ms. Jiaye, who put a wet towel, signaling him not to stand and chat, but to go to work.

Yongjin was silent for a while, Jiuji had finished his breakfast and wiped his mouth. "Let's go, Yingliang. We still have classes." Yongjin has European history, and he even has a class on money and banking.

"Ah, that's right! I'm going to be late...Thank you for your hospitality!"

"thanks for treatment."

The two took out their wallets and settled the bill.

Kaneki tied Jiuji's scarf into a tight knot, and while tucking his hair into the scarf, he told him not to take off the scarf because his neck felt itchy.

Jiuji went downstairs, and Yongyuan asked him on his bicycle if he wanted to sit in the back row. Jiuji said that Master Ben never took a car worth less than 1000 million yuan.Yongjin said that this is his beloved Ferrari, Jiuji said that Ferrari can pick up girls, and you can only take me.Yongjin jumped down angrily, ruffled his hair vigorously, then laughed and ran away on the bicycle.

In the afternoon, it started to rain in Tokyo.

It wasn't very loud at first, but the clacking sound was very annoying. Jiuji became very irritable after only sitting in the library for an hour, always feeling that something was about to happen.He dropped his pen, walked around the corridors of the school, and went outside for a breath of fresh air.The air carries the aroma of damp earth and green grass, with a hint of coolness and sweetness.

He slowly calmed down.

The sun has already set after completing the courses that were left behind in preparation for the press conference and banquet.Jiuji stretched his waist, packed his things and left the library.When he went to the Anding District to look for Jin Mu but was in vain, he didn't know that something happened in just one afternoon.

Miss Ryoko was killed by CCG investigators.

After Kuji came home, Kaneki, who had returned home early, occupied the bathroom and never came out, only the sound of rushing water, and the muffled sound of Kaneki hitting the wall with his head from time to time.

Jiuji sat down by the door and didn't speak.

After a long time, the sound of pattering footsteps came from inside, Kaneki walked to the door, but did not come out.With a bang, he slammed his head against the door again, and his body softened and he fell to his knees.

Jiu Ji put away the hot phone, his voice sounded hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time. "Put on your clothes and be careful not to catch a cold."

"Hmm..." After the rustling of the cloth, Kaneki's voice came weakly through the door: "Jiuji, am I useless?"

"Yes."

"... Jiuji, you are still as straightforward as ever." Jin Mu's voice could not tell whether he was crying or laughing.

Jiuji said helplessly: "You already have the answer in your heart, even if I say 'no', you won't believe it."

"...At that time...Miss Ryoko was right in front of me." He spoke intermittently, every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. "But I can't do anything, except to cover Hina's eyes and prevent her from seeing everything at that time..." Tears fell weakly, and he choked up and said, "If it was Kirishima who arrived at that time... ..."

Jiuji interrupted him directly: "You think too much. Although I can't understand that second-five-eyed, but he is very strong, and Dong Xiang will just be cleaned up together when he arrives." He said calmly, without any tone. ups and downs.

"how so……"

"So." Jiuji said, "You're right."

Kaneki's body froze, his eyes widened in disbelief.

He's... right?Obviously he didn't do anything, watching Miss Liangzi being killed, even the store manager said he couldn't take revenge...

He blamed himself very much, [-]% guilty, and extremely tormented.But what does Kuki say now?

He is right?

With a loud bang, Kaneki slammed open the bathroom door.Jiu Ji, who was leaning against the door, fell down unexpectedly.Jin Mu quickly stretched out his hands to hug his head, preventing him from hitting the back of his head on the tile floor of the bathroom.

Jiu Ji was too lazy to get up, and just lay there.Seeing this, Kaneki knelt down directly, let Jiuji lie on his knees, and carefully put his hair away so that it wouldn't fall on the bathroom floor and get wet.He asked eagerly, "Jiuji, what did you just say?"

"I said, you're right. You've done nothing wrong."

Kuji looked at Kaneki, letting the water from his wet hair and tears fall on his face.

Kaneki hurriedly wiped away the tears that fell on Jiuji's face, but no matter how much he wiped, he couldn't wipe them away, and his tears were still dripping down endlessly.

Why didn't he know that Jin Mu could cry so much?Jiuji's face was blushed by him, and it hurt a little. He brushed Kaneki's hand away speechlessly, and said lightly: "Stop and get down to business. I say you are right."

"Those investigators came for Dikou's mother and daughter. They were very well prepared. Needless to say, Mado Wu Xu, he also had a first-class investigator named Taro by his side. Together, the entire 20th District had no A few ghouls are their opponents. Not to mention, there are other low-ranking investigators on standby. Even those at Yueshan's level are dead."

"So, you're right. First, you didn't rush forward impulsively to die. Your life is the prerequisite for thinking about other things. Second, you protected Hina, and didn't let her run back and be killed with her mother That was Ms. Ryoko's last wish, and you fulfilled it well for her. Three, you didn't let Hinomi see her mother die, and you didn't give her material for future nightmares. Jinmu, you've done a great job Alright." He raised his hand and stroked Kaneki's cheek tenderly. "Even if we can defeat the investigators, what can we do if we rush forward and kill them? CCG will only put more manpower and material resources in District 20 because of the loss of so many investigators, and will never stop until the murderer is found. Sometimes it’s not just Dikou’s mother and daughter who are about to embark on the road to escape, but the coffee shop will also be found to have problems at any time. So, even if it was me, the store manager, Mr. Gu Jian, and Ms. People with brains or ghouls can only do this.” As for Dong Xiang, Jiu Ji will not talk about her impulsive character filled with righteous indignation.

"...Is that so..."

"That's it. Tell me, you get it."

"Well, I understand." Jin Mu turned his head and rubbed his palm affectionately, hoarse and whispered with a strong nasal voice: "This time, is it also the truth?"

"I always tell the truth." Jiu Ji blinked.

"...Well, I understand." Kaneki smiled through tears.He sniffed, wiped away his tears and said in a muffled voice, "Jiuji, are you getting up?"

"doing what?"

"I want to hug you."

Jiuji sat up with a look of disgust, and said viciously: "No hugs. Every time I cry and hug me, am I a handkerchief?" But when Kaneki hugged him from behind with a faceless face, he was still just a symbol He twisted his body and struggled for a while, but stopped moving before he broke free.

Kaneki rested her forehead on his shoulder. "Not a handkerchief, Kuki, you are my pillar."

Jiuji snorted softly, "You are my little ancestor."

"What is that……"

"Praise you."

"...Kyuki, I will become stronger."

—Become stronger than you, become stronger than anyone else.

——And one day, I will also be your support.

This time Jiuji didn't laugh out loud, but silently raised his right hand and folded it over his shoulder, stroked his wet hair, and said in a deep voice, "I believe...you—— Kaneki Ken! Your shampoo hasn't been rinsed off. , stuck my hand, let me go in and wash it again!!"

----

The store manager did not allow people in Anding District to avenge Chushi, so when Dong Xiang went out to kill a search officer without authorization and came back injured, he did not allow anyone to treat Dong Xiang's wound.

Kyuki wasn't surprised by this at all.Her character is so easy to understand, if CCG wants to eliminate her, there is no need to formulate any battle plan, and it can draw her out and kill her casually.And this time, what could her impulsiveness bring?Killing an ordinary investigator, the person who actually attacked Miss Liangzi was alive and well, and included "rabbit" in the elimination list.

What made Jiuji almost annoyed was that she tried to drag Kaneki into the CCG headquarters in disguise to confuse Hinami's sighting information.

Jiuji was worried about Jinmu's mental state these days, and had been sending people to watch him. When he was brought to CCG headquarters by Dong Xiang, the person in charge of tracking Jinmu today immediately notified Jiuji.

Kuji arrived in time before Kaneki was brought in, and stripped off his ridiculous clothes without saying a word.If Jin Mu hadn't stopped him, he would have kicked Dong Xiang straight through the RC inspection gate once.

She wanted to throw herself into a trap and leave him alone, but don't get Jin Mu involved.If she thinks her life is too long and wants to die early, he doesn't mind doing it herself.

Jiu Ji was really angry this time, not only because Kaneki accidentally did dangerous things with others, but also because he found some bad changes in his mentality.

He thought he liked Jin Mu so much that he would do anything for him, but this time, he actually felt tired.

Very tired, the kind of tiredness that can't be rested after lying in bed for ten days and ten nights.

The company's business is enough for him to be busy with all four feet. The school still has homework, and it will be Uejing's school celebration soon. Although he has no program, he has signed a contract with Uejing on behalf of Yao Zhiwei, and will provide snacks throughout the process.Then there is the matter of Jinmu.

Calculate what happened to Jinmu from the moment he warned Jinmu not to get close to God Rishi until now?

To put it bluntly, Jin Mu has brought him nothing but trouble recently.

And he didn't know whether it was really stupid or intentional, and he never gave Jiuji a response.This made Jiuji feel that he was only courting Kaneki unilaterally, and he still regarded himself as a trusted friend.

If this goes on like this, if he continues to give without getting a response, no matter how much he likes Jin Mu, he will feel tired one day.

After feeling tired, his liking for Jin Mu will gradually fade away, and one day, he will no longer like Jin Mu, and even feel that he is a burden, and gradually loathe him.

Jiuji knows himself very well: he is a very stubborn person, once a decision is made, no one can interfere and stop him.The same goes for the emotional side.But the premise of everything is his mood.Jinmu's presence made him feel warm, and he lived happily every day.But if Kaneki one day becomes an existence that makes him frown when he thinks about it, and worries about him every day...

Now he undoubtedly likes it very much, and it can even be said that he loves Kaneki, but who can say what will happen in the future?

If it really continues like this, it's only a matter of time before he abandons Jin Mu.

----

"Have you had a fight recently?"

In the coffee shop, when Jiuji went to the bathroom, Yongjin immediately put down the homework at hand, pulled Kaneki over and asked him in a low voice.

"No. But..." Kaneki shook his head in disappointment, his lead gray eyes were full of sadness. "Jiuji has been really cold lately. I don't know what I did wrong..."

"It's not necessarily that I'm angry with you, maybe it's just too tired. There should be a lot of things about the taste of medicine." Yongjin looked at Jinmu's look of the end of the world, and quickly comforted his friend.

"That's fine..."

Seeing a touch of red coming into sight from the corner, Yongjin quickly changed the subject: "The weather has been really bad recently, it's been raining all the time."

After becoming a ghoul, Kaneki's five senses were enhanced, and he was especially sensitive to Jiu Ji's smell.When Jiuji came out of the bathroom, he smelled the fragrance of Zen bamboo mixed with the smell of hand sanitizer, and immediately closed his mouth tightly, and when he changed the subject forever, he responded, "Yes, gloomy."

Jiuji sat down in silence, Kaneki smiled brightly at him, "Jiuji, would you like something to eat?"

"No need." After Jiuji finished speaking, he bowed his head and continued to write calculus homework, refusing to jump out a word.

Jin Mu looked at Yong Jin pitifully, and Yong Jin silently spread his hands to him, his face full of sympathy.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a week. After a week, Jiuji returned to his usual appearance, but he refused to explain a word why it happened before.

Kaneki always felt that something bad had happened to Jiu Ji these few days, but no matter how he tried, and even delved into the psychology of interrogation, Jiu Ji still refused to say.

It made him feel bad.

For this, Yongjin can only give a summary: Men, there are so few days in every month.

Kaneki was not usually sad, Jiuji avoided his questions, and even told him directly "I don't want to discuss this matter, don't ask me any more" with a cold look that made his heart twitch and ache.

His mood is very complicated.

Jiuji is undoubtedly the only light for him walking in the gap between the ghouls and the human world. He is the only one for himself, but what about Jiuji?What is it to him?He is just an ordinary person in his world, at most a little special because he once gave him a hand.

For a moment, he seemed to hear the voice of God Dai Lishi again.The long-haired beauty laughed at him vigorously: "It's funny, you just gave him a friendship, why do you think you are special to him?"

That, that's because... Kaneki was speechless.

"Don't even look at him. What is his status in this society? From the time he was born, from the time he inherited the name of Medicine Master Temple, he was destined to have everything. There will be countless women and even men who will rack their brains. Climb into his bed, and he will eventually find someone who, like you, doesn't mind his different powers from ordinary people, but who is countless times better than you. The eldest brother of the Yaoshi Temple family, but he will never refuse anyone who the brothers like What..." Her voice was light and ethereal, echoing in Jinmu's ears.

……so what! !

Bloodshots burst at the corners of his eyes, Kaneki clenched his trouser legs tightly, his teeth pierced his lips, and a line of bloodshots flowed out.

The person who will get Jiuji in the future, will he know Jiuji as well as himself? Will TA know what Jiuji likes to eat and what he doesn't like? Will TA know that although Kuki loves sweets the most, he doesn't eat mayonnaise at all? Will TA know that stomach problems will not only attack due to food stimulation, but also cause pain due to the accumulation of negative emotions? Will TA know that Jiu Ji prefers soft food rather than hard food?

……

The door of the lounge was pushed open abruptly, Jin Mu woke up from the boundless anger, fear and sorrow, saw Dong Xiang running in, and asked him in panic: "Have you seen Hina?!"
