[Ultraman] Atypical exchanges

16.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jie Nuo carried his date back home.

Cynthia wanted to struggle at first, but she was only a researcher after all, but Jeno always had to go out to fight, and the power gap was obvious at a glance.So in the end, facing the surprised eyes of passers-by on the road, she was already a Buddha, and she simply slumped on the other's shoulder like a salted fish, no matter how he fiddled with, the whole person revealed some kind of genuine lovelessness.

"We will probably be the headlines in the Kingdom of Light tomorrow."

When being carried into the apartment by Ultra warriors, Cynthia muttered this.But Jie Nuo glanced at her, and stuffed her into his bed, his expression was as calm as ever, and he didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with this behavior, which was considered performance art in the strict sense.

"Then let them see," he said. "There's nothing shady about our relationship."

...that's fine.

I can feel that he really doesn't care, and Cynthia has nothing to say.She shrank back into the quilt, belatedly realized that she was lying on Jeno's bed, surrounded by the other's breath, as if being hugged by him, which rarely made her feel a little uncomfortable .

"Don't you need to take a break?"

Grabbing the edge of the quilt, she carefully glanced at her dating partner who had been standing by the bed watching her since the very beginning.Cynthia tried to get rid of this suffocating feeling, the first thing to do was to send away the source of the discomfort, but when she said this, she remembered that the other party had the same structure as her own home, and realized that this excuse was not very good. succeed because—

"I only have one bedroom and one bed at home."

Jeno answered honestly, and then stared at her.It took about ten seconds for Cynthia to realize from the sudden staring at each other that there was actually something more behind his words.

"Ah... oh, I know." She hesitated for a while, and still lifted a corner of the quilt: "Then——you can come up and lie down for a while."

He did not refuse.

The bed in Jenuo's house is not too big. Although two people lying on it will not be crowded together, they are still very close.Being able to feel the temperature on the other person's body, Cynthia couldn't help turning her head to look at him, but unexpectedly found that he was also looking at her, and their eyes met in mid-air, and they were both slightly startled.

"What are you thinking about?"

Now that she was caught peeking, Cynthia simply turned sideways, resting her head on her arm.

Jeno was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about how to speak.

"Do you still remember," he said slowly, with the peculiar haze of reminiscing about the old days in his tone: "We used to lie together like this a long time ago?"

"Have it?"

Cynthia thought about it carefully for a while, but couldn't remember anything, with a puzzled expression on her face: "When?"

"It should be when you first entered the Science and Technology Bureau, you came back drunk for some reason at the welcome meeting, and insisted on opening the door of my house."

Jeno thought for a while, summed up the main points of the chaos that night, and calmly told the other party: "You didn't have the ability to take care of yourself at that time, and I was afraid that something would happen to you if you stayed by yourself, so I can only keep you for one night. .”

"……what."

Cynthia remembered, but her impression of it was very different from Jano's.Her memory only stayed at the moment when she took the key to open the door but it was opened from the inside, revealing Jeno's face, and then woke up with a hangover the next morning and saw the warm water and note left by the other party beside her bed.For so many years, she should have thought that she occupied the neighbor's bed and squeezed him on the sofa to make do for the night. It turned out that this person didn't wrong her at all, did she sleep on the same bed as her?

Judging from her expression, she knew that she probably didn't remember anything about the most important part. Jeno sighed silently, but he didn't think it was surprising.

He couldn't even help smiling.

"It's okay, it's really not important."

The Ultraman continued to speak like this, with a rare obvious teasing on his face: "It's just that I always remember that you said very cute things at that time."

She had never heard of it.

Cynthia froze for a moment, motioning for the other party to continue.But Jie Nuo didn't know what he thought of, he just kept smiling and refused to answer. He was anxious to be questioned, so he simply pulled the quilt to cover her and hugged her, no matter how hard she struggled, he didn't let go.

"Hey, Geno—!"

Once again feeling the gap between combatants and civilians, Cynthia protested through the quilt.And Jie Nuo hugged for a while, the smile on his face disappeared when she couldn't see him, he focused on watching the bulging ball in his arms, and gradually, a certain kind of forbearance and love that never appeared in him appeared. Come gently.

The Giant of Light's time is long, and thousands of years are just a blink of a finger, and in the wider universe, in the passage of hundreds of millions of years, this time is even more insignificant.

But that was all they could have.

Even with the bright light of the Kingdom of Light that never goes out all year round, and the eternally brilliant galaxy under the long night, although they are just the most common sights in life, they will always become the most important foundation of the soul.And when Jeno recalled the past, he would always find that, in fact, Cynthia was just like those lights and stars, occupying every inch of the years.Every time I look back, she is always there, no matter how many people come and go, she has never changed.

Time never rejects him.

So, too, does Cynthia, who exists as time does.

——This was the most important thing Jenno had ascertained from his drunken neighbor that night.

17.

Cynthia's first night at the neighbor's house was harmonious, and so was the second and third nights.

After being detained and rested by the Ultra fighters for a whole week, she was released reluctantly by the other party, almost like being released after serving her sentence.Coupled with the delay in hospitalization, her research progress was seriously behind, so she started working overtime in hell mode, and this time she was so busy that she didn't even have time to reply to the news, so she was forced to leave her relationship partner aside with apology , promised to compensate later.

In this regard, looking at the communicator that had not moved for a long time, and then at the empty apartment in front of him, Jeno couldn't help but sigh.And after enduring this for almost five days, he finally cut off an errand in Sophie's office to deliver documents to the Science and Technology Bureau, and ran there openly.

Jeno is already familiar with such things as registering at the visiting office, and most of the people on duty are also familiar with him.However, today, when the Ultra fighter signed his name, he found that the brother on duty hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to say something, but finally gave up, and only gave him a meaningful look at the end.

Jeno was at a loss, but now was obviously not the time to explore this.He came to Cynthia's laboratory at the end of the corridor familiarly, and was about to knock on the door, but found that the door was not closed, and there were voices of conversation in the room, obviously there was more than one person inside.

The Ultra warrior paused, and looked up through the half-open door.I happened to see the back of a red giant of light standing in front of the table, talking with his partner. Judging from his size, he should also be a warrior who has experienced many battles.

Still a man.

Of course, Jeno didn't intend to pry into Cynthia's privacy.He knew that the correct thing to do now was to walk away in a gentlemanly manner, and then enter the door decently after the other party finished speaking, but his legs obviously had their own ideas.What's more, the voice of the person who was talking to Cynthia, Jeno, was so familiar that he would inevitably be shocked by his appearance here, so he couldn't just leave like this, and simply stood where he was, facing Listen without expression.

"...Thank you for your kindness, but I'm really fine."

Cynthia said this with a little helplessness, not like the tone she usually talks to colleagues, and it is familiar to the researcher of the Red Race who has never been very close to her:

"There's no need to come to me just because of this, Max."

...Ah, yes, Max.

Jeno thought so indifferently.His work partner and his dating partner, the police, knew each other behind his back, and they seemed to have a close relationship. This is really big news.

"It's nothing, we haven't seen each other for so long anyway."

And Max seemed to shake his head, and when he answered this way, he could still hear some kind of special concern in his voice:

"Even if you always stay in the Kingdom of Light, you have to be careful... I don't want to hear the news that you were injured and hospitalized when I came back from the mission."

"I know, thank you." Cynthia smiled softly: "You go to the security team to make a report first, and when you finish your work, I invite you to have a meal and have a good chat."

"okay."

Max also answered briskly.In the end, they took a step forward naturally, and under Jeno's gaze, they gave each other a rather strong hug.

Jeno: ...

He took a deep breath, and accidentally snapped off the corner of the light board in his hand that Sophie had repeatedly told him to deliver safely.

The author has something to say: Jeno: ...Max, right?

Lao Mai: I have a bad feeling.
