Has Mr. Zhongya changed back today?

The thermometer showed 37.5°. Mizuho Nishino developed a fever after returning home the night before, and his temperature finally dropped to almost the same level this morning. The work at Mafia's office has been piled up for several days. Zhongyuan Zhong didn't worry about staying with her at home for a day yesterday, so he has to go back to the office today.He had already changed into his formal clothes for going out, and asked her to take his temperature again before going out.

"I still have a low fever." He looked at the thermometer and was speechless. He didn't expect that according to his physical fitness, he could have such a severe fever in the first two days under normal conditions.He seldom gets sick, and he bought the thermometer at the pharmacy after he noticed she was sick the day before yesterday.

It seems that the latest training is less.

"I'm fine," Mizuho Nishino felt that her condition was much better. She sat on the head of the bed and looked at him worriedly, and asked thoughtfully, "Do you really need me to accompany you to the office? Mr. Nakaya alone Does it matter?"

"You're thinking too much." Zhong Yuanzhong also glanced at her, and interrupted, "What's the point of dealing with the work you're used to?"

"Rather than worrying about my affairs, you should sleep a little longer. The fever should subside later." He calmly comforted him, but suddenly changed the topic, "When you get better, gradually resume the physical training that was left behind. It seems that you shouldn't be lazy, and have you gained a little weight recently?"

Although he told her to eat well, he gradually discovered that she didn't eat because of her poor appetite, but that she needed someone to eat like a child, and what she liked to eat were high-calorie foods such as hamburger, fried chicken, and pizza.

Mizuho Nishino: "..."

Listen, is this what you should say to a patient in a hospital bed?

She changed the subject and said: "But now in the eyes of outsiders, I am 'Mr. Chuya'. Will it be inconvenient for you to go back without me as a cover, entering and leaving the cadre's office, and doing things?"

"Oh, that," Zhong Yuanzhong also realized, and responded flatly, "I've been promoted."

"Eh?" Mizuho Nishino showed a suspicious expression and was stunned.How long has it been since I joined before I was promoted! ?

Is Mafia's promotion channel so efficient?It's easier than ordinary clubs!And he is using her body now, so in the eyes of others, isn't "Nishino Mizuho" promoted?

Is there something wrong with my own success in the underground society?

Mizuho Nishino, who was still ill, was hit by a series of critical attacks and silently retreated into bed.

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't think so much about her.

He was promoted quickly in Mafia. When he first joined Mafia, he worked in the unit directly under Koyo Ozaki, one of the five major cadres. Although he was a little slower than that guy, he climbed to the position of cadre in just a few years. Isn't it a matter of course that it will be smoother than last time again?

After he confessed and saw her sleeping obediently, he left the room.Nishino Mizuho soon heard the sound of the door closing from the living room, and she quietly poked her head out of the quilt again, unable to fall asleep.

After sleeping for a day and two nights in a row, how could she still be able to sleep.

Actually she's fine.

In the end, Mr. Nakaya still didn't take her to the port of Mafia.

After he left, Mizuho Nishino felt a little bored.

She was bored looking at the clean ceiling, feeling back to before.

When she lived alone in the villa.

The daughter of the Nishino Consortium, of course, has a first-class residence. No matter the architectural design or the home style, it is a first-class work created by skilled craftsmen.As long as she likes, she can also have seven or eight beautiful girls in maid outfits to take care of her, invite excellent chefs from all over the world to take turns cooking, French food today, Italian food the next day, Chinese food or authentic Japanese food the day after tomorrow.

But she suddenly felt bored.

Sometimes she also feels that she is quite hypocritical. There are more or less disputes within the older family, or the uneven distribution of benefits, or the elders have too high expectations of the younger generations.Because of her family relationship, she knew many children from aristocratic families.Commonly speaking, he is the heir of a large consortium of her childhood sweetheart. Even in the activities of the school club, his father would not allow him to take the second place. As a result, in middle school, the other party's personality split; another chaebol daughter came from an ordinary family His lover loves each other very much. In order to get rid of the fate of marriage, he and his lover have made a lot of efforts to get the family's approval.

None of these troubles existed for her.

Because her mother died young and was kidnapped again, her grandfather felt guilty and distressed for her, and he was almost obedient; her father was very strict with her, but only stricter in interpersonal relationships. After that, the information will appear on his desk; she is not interested in family business, besides, her younger brother Chunyou is very smart and works very hard. At the age of 16, he was admitted to a well-known foreign university and has not yet graduated, but he has already started to assist his father in managing the family property.

In comparison, her troubles are at most no one to accompany her when she eats; and even if she doesn't want to, she always reads the memory of some people being "duplicate" when they flatter her because of the Nishino Foundation—but the world Most people are like this, there is really no need to bring it up.

She just is.

Mizuho Nishino thought.In terms of body swapping, she has been acting with Mr. Chuya recently, and they have not been separated yet.

...just a little lonely.

……

the other side.

After Zhongyuan Zhongya rushed to the office, he looked at the documents piled up on the table. Coincidentally, the top few reports were not neat enough and fell down.He put his hand on his forehead and sighed deeply.

How did things become like this.

The paperwork was already boring, but he had to do it when he sat in the position of a cadre.

Now he not only has to deal with the original work, but also completes the work after joining the port Mafia as "Nishino Mizuho".and hide it from others.

He suddenly remembered that Ango Sakaguchi, the undercover agent of the Supernatural Secret Service Division, received three salaries before he was exposed, and had time to do other things.If I had known him earlier, I would have learned from that guy.

Zhongyuan Zhong also locked the door of the cadre's office, put his coat on the back of the chair casually, opened the seat and sat down, and began to make various reports that had piled up into a hill in the past few days.

It was halfway through, and it was almost noon, before he scanned the results of the "Twilight Incident" at the bottom of the file.

After the death of Gentleman and Charlie, Twilight went out of business, and Mafia's finances settled in to take inventory of the remaining materials and sort out the accounts.Attached at the back of the report is the hand-in inventory table.In the future, the port Mafia will send people to directly operate it. As for the jewelry designer who will be used as a sign to attract customers, Ozaki Momiji is looking for it. There are already several candidates, and they will contact them later.

The matter ended smoothly, but Chuya Nakahara suddenly remembered the "Pandora gem" mentioned in Charlie's memory before his death. This incident was also mentioned by the serial murderer who was eyeing Mizuho Nishino.

Coupled with the weird power Shimizu Yuka used before his death...

He frowned, took out his mobile phone and contacted the subordinate who finished the Twilight incident to continue the investigation.

"Pandora's gem... I think I've heard it somewhere," said the subordinate vaguely, "I'll check it out and report back as soon as I get the results. Speaking of which, Miss Nishino, we were at Mr. Charlie's house when we were taking stock of Mr. Charlie's estate. I found a few blueprints with your name written on them. They seem to be rings and gemstone necklaces. Do I need to bring them over to show you. Mr. Charlie’s designs are masterpieces, but unfortunately these blueprints are probably last gone."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also taken aback, it took him a long time to remember that when she first came to Twilight, she casually said that she had been here.Twilight is a normal jewelry workshop to the outside world, which is not surprising.But he vaguely remembered that she said that she came with an acquaintance, could it be a man...?

He suddenly remembered that many wealthy people would choose to order rings in "Twilight" when they got engaged or got married. Charlie also jokingly asked him if he needed to add a wedding service in the store, which might be very popular.

"Miss Nishino?"

He kept silent, and his subordinates asked again suspiciously.

Zhong Yuanzhong also came back to his senses: "No need."

He paused, and added: "Take your things to the store, I'll go there in the afternoon."

After Twilight went out of business, he had to deal with some things personally. One of the sales chains of the gemstone business was disconnected, which had little impact on conventional gemstones, but how to package and sell them became a problem for the other small number of high-quality gemstones.Before Twilight returns to normal, he plans to transfer this part of the jewelry to another sales chain.

"By the way..." He glanced at the time on the table, and just after one o'clock, he remembered another thing, "She, send someone who can cook to Mr. Nakaya's apartment, and let him remember to have lunch .”

It was really strange to call out my own name.

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Yes. Please rest assured, sister-in-law, we will take good care of Mr. Chuya!" As expected of sister-in-law, she is so considerate.

"I don't have that kind of relationship with him." He remembered Mizuho Nishino's suggestion last time and said negatively.

However, the subordinates didn't believe it, they just felt that "Miss Nishino" was having trouble with Mr. Nakaya.Interested subordinates should take this opportunity to mention Ms. Nishino to Mr. Chuya, and try to get them back together as soon as possible.The subordinate changed his words on the surface, but he had a plan in his heart.

Zhong Yuanzhong hung up the phone without knowing it, picked up his coat and put it on his arm, and left the room.

In the underground parking lot, he met several subordinates from the logistics department.

"Isn't this Miss Nishino? Are you going to have lunch too? I know there is a good izakaya nearby, do you want to come together?" The woman with the high ponytail warmly invited.

"No, I have something else to do." After Nakahara refused, he felt too cold and hard. He recalled Mizuho Nishino's speaking habits and asked curiously, "Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to drink at noon?"

Although he likes to drink, he will not go to the tavern to drink at noon.What energy do you have to work after drinking?

"Relieve the pressure on the newcomers," the woman with the high ponytail pointed to another girl with a pale face beside her, and replied with a smile, "When I was familiar with the work process with the 'scavenger' in the morning, I was frightened by the corpse. The minister has already granted leave, let She rested for the afternoon."

Mafia's work is accompanied by death and violence.

Central Plains also knows "scavenger", which refers to a group of people who use special methods to dispose of corpses in the logistics department, so as not to let the government or the police notice.

He looked at the slightly nervous girl, whose chestnut hair was just shoulder-length, and her face was still young, probably at the age of high school.But everyone who joins Mafia has his own reasons, and he has no intention of asking them all.It's just that the girl in front of him reminded him of one thing: "The corpse is scary?"

"Eh? Still, okay? Uwah—" The girl was dumbfounded by the question, and then recalled the horror of seeing the corpse this morning, bent over to the side and retched.

"Okay, okay. You'll be fine after drinking some wine and sleeping. I came here too." The woman with the high ponytail gently patted the girl's thin back to comfort her. She raised her head and explained to Nakahara Chuya helplessly, " When seeing a dead body for the first time, most people will be afraid. After all, there are very few brave people like Mr. Nakaya or Ms. Nishino. Even soldiers who have experienced battles, many people will suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and need a psychologist intervention."

Zhongyuan Zhong also responded with a wandering mind.He remembered that Shimizu Yuhe died in front of her that day, and she fired a gun, which was the same way of death.

"Sorry, I reminded you of bad memories." He glanced at the chestnut-haired girl, "I have something to deal with, so I won't go to the wine bureau. You guys have a good time drinking."

He stepped onto the eye-catching red locomotive beside him, and his movements were clean and neat.Under the surprised eyes of the girl in the logistics team, she started the car and shot out like a ball of red flames.

The red shadow quickly disappeared before their eyes.

One of them came back to his senses and muttered: "That's... Mr. Nakaya's car, isn't it?"

"Before Miss Nishino appeared, didn't someone make a private bet on who was his wife, the motorcycle or the red wine? Who won in the end?"

"The locomotive. He actually borrowed his wife... It seems that he really likes Ms. Nishino. What is this? After losing two feet on two boats, I realize who my true love is. Chasing my wife in the crematorium, even being violently treated Don't abandon literature'?"

Internal Forum Literary Victims speak.

"But Ms. Nishino is so handsome! The movement and figure of riding a motorcycle are super handsome! I am Mr. Nakaya and I like her too. Even if she loves me, I can forgive her."

……

In a sense, this is roughly "I love 'myself'".Nakahara Chuya, who knew nothing about it, did not follow the original plan to go to the Twilight Studio, which was closed for rectification, after leaving the office building.He went back to his apartment.

Downstairs in the apartment, he happened to meet a subordinate in a black suit who left after cooking. The other party's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he excitedly made a "come on" gesture to him.Zhong Yuanzhong also glanced at him in a daze, and simply nodded his head in greeting, and went upstairs.

After he opened the door with his recorded fingerprints, Mizuho Nishino was sitting at the table in the dining room, looking at the dishes on the table, playing with chopsticks, as if in a daze.

She looked up in bewilderment at the voice, then smiled.

"Why, the food is not to your liking?" He asked while looking at her barely touched food.

Mizuho Nishino shook his head: "Mr. Uoya used to work in a restaurant, so the taste should be good."

Uoya is the surname of the subordinate who left just now.

"I thought you wouldn't come back." She stood up, "I'll get the bowl!"

"Are you a child? Do you need someone to accompany you when you eat?" Nakahara Nakaya pulled the dining chair across from him and sat down.

"Did I trouble you?" Nishino Mizuho asked turning around.

"No," he denied, "you don't have to think about whether it will cause me trouble. I will try my best to cooperate with you when I have time."

She watched him quietly, realizing that his tone was neither perfunctory nor forced, Mizuho Nishino smiled lightly: "Then there's nothing wrong with being a child."

"Give."

She put the bowl and chopsticks down in front of him, returned to her seat, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes again.

"But why did you come back at noon today? I thought Mr. Chuya would be busy until night." She looked confused.

Zhong Yuanzhong did not answer immediately, but instead asked, "How is your cold?"

"It's all right." Mizuho Nishino said with certainty, "Actually, I got up shortly after you went out this morning. I slept too long in the past two days, and I'm not sleepy at all now. Is there anything I can do?"

She thought he was looking for her because of work.

Nakahara also remembered what members of the logistics department said in the underground parking lot.

"There is a place I want to take you to later." He paused and reminded, "If your head still hurts, don't force it."

"Not reluctantly."

She answered too quickly, seeing Nakahara looking at her in surprise and doubt, Nishino Mizuho realized the haste of her tone, and she frowned strangely, a little unable to answer.

Zhong Yuanzhong also suddenly thought that he had left her alone at home this morning, and that dangerous things had happened one after another some time ago, thinking that she was afraid and didn't want to be alone in the apartment, so he answered thoughtfully.

"I know," he said firmly, "I won't let you be alone again."

In case a similar situation happened again, he would find a trustworthy subordinate to take care of her.

Mizuho Nishino:?

She looked at Nakahara Chuya for no reason, and hesitated in embarrassment.It sounds like a confession, but Mr. Nakaya doesn't seem to mean it at all.

what happened?

……

afternoon.

After washing the dishes after the meal, he rested for more than half an hour. Zhongyuan Zhong also calculated the time and thought it was almost the same, so he took her to the garage.

This is the first time for Mizuho Nishino to come here. She was picked up by Mafia's driver before, so she didn't know there would be so many cars in the garage.

And they're all locomotives.

They have different styles, handsome bodies, and smooth lines. She doesn't know much about motorcycles, but she can tell that most of them are not common models on the street, and they are probably track-level motorcycles.

He chose a red locomotive that he usually drove, and threw a helmet from another car to her.

Nishino Mizuho hugged the helmet and said blankly: "I can't drive..."

"You sit in the back." Nakahara Zhong also responded naturally.

Mizuho Nishino has no comment.

"As long as you don't mind," she explained worriedly when she saw Nakahara Nakaya looking at her strangely, "in the eyes of passers-by, I am undoubtedly a big man hugging the girl's waist delicately. I'm sorry, Mr. Nakaya, After exchanging with me, you have no image to speak of."

"...Don't worry about that kind of thing."

Zhong Yuan was also silent for a few seconds, sighed helplessly, and gave up struggling a long time ago.

"You are more important." He told her bluntly.

"Mr. Nakaya," Mizuho Nishino struggled for a while, she looked into his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Has anyone ever told you not to say such things to girls casually, you will be responsible if you flirt. "

"I'm not--"

Nakahara Chuya originally wanted to explain that he didn't speak casually, but before he could say anything, he realized the ambiguity in the sentence just now, pretended to cough and looked away, touched his nose and stopped talking in embarrassment.

Has he ever said that to anyone else before?

Zhong Yuanzhong also skeptically reflected on the words he had said.

It seems...not so many times?

……

The bright red locomotive was speeding across the street. The pedestrians hadn't seen the figure on it clearly, but felt a gust of refreshing wind and the roar of the locomotive passing by.

Soon, the locomotive crossed the noisy city and the landscaped trees beside the street, and entered the suburban road.The scenery changes along the way.The severe wind blows happily on his body, free and carefree, which is why Zhongyuan Zhong also likes to go for a ride.You can't feel this kind of scenery in the car.

He deliberately slowed down when he took her to the beach, the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks kept coming and going, after noon, the sun had reached the highest point of the day, and began to lower slowly, the golden sun shone on the ocean, sparkling, It's like crumbling gold leaf and wrapping it on the surface of the sea.

Nishino Mizuho hugged his waist tightly as if she was afraid of falling, but she was not as exaggerated as she said before getting into the car. "After that, he also offered to sit sideways so that he could enjoy the scenery better.

Zhong Yuanzhong also let her go, and lowered the driving speed in cooperation.

He didn't know, she was originally afraid.

Mizuho Nishino was not as courageous as he thought before. She was afraid of many things, including the dark, heights, and falling off the motorcycle.

But as long as he was there, she seemed less afraid.

When we arrived at the destination, the sun just started to fall towards the sea level, and the sea surface was dyed red by dusk. From the hillside, you can have a panoramic view of the sea of ​​trees, the small town, and the sea.

She jumped out of the car carefully, took off the helmet under Zhongya Nakahara's tying, and he hung the helmet on the motorcycle casually. Looking at the magnificent scenery in front of her, she whispered from the bottom of her heart: "It's so beautiful."

He leaned slightly on the car, observed her expression, and saw that she was smiling with satisfaction, as if she felt joyful and relaxed, so he breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

"When I'm in a bad mood, I drink and go for a drive. The wine is fine...the scenery here is not bad." He explained a little bluntly.

Mizuho Nishino looked back at him in bewilderment.

She thought silently for a while, then suddenly smiled, and asked uncertainly, "Could Mr. Chuya be... comforting me?"

Unexpectedly, he readily admitted.

"Ah, I'm not good at comforting others. Is it strange?" His logical tone seemed like she had asked some strange words.

But Mizuho Nishino really couldn't remember anything that needed to be comforted recently.

She shook her head.

"Before... I was kidnapped." She whispered softly.

Nakahara also knew about this. Shimizu Yuka mentioned before his death that her uncle was the mastermind of the kidnapping. In the end, the robbers killed each other and she survived alone.

"After the police rescued me, my family was very worried about me. For the sake of my safety, my father temporarily suspended me from school. In my studies, I was tutored one-on-one by a tutor, and I was protected by bodyguards when I went in and out. For about half a year, I have no contact with people other than them. Perhaps it is the rebellious psychology caused by the overprotection of my family when I was a child. After becoming independent, I rarely return to my family."

She smiled frankly: "If at that time, they chose to take me around to relax instead of locking me at home, maybe I wouldn't become so rebellious."

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought of a group of troubled teenagers in Mafia: "You are a good boy."

Mizuho Nishino:?

"I didn't smoke, drink, get tattooed or fight. I just moved out." He said naturally, "Your family should be lucky to treat you like this. You can still grow up to be so worry-free."

"..."

Not this kind of "rebellion".

"Mr. Chuya, I want to learn this." She pointed to the locomotive.

"Huh?" Zhongyuan Zhong also looked at her suspiciously, "This car is too fast, it is easy to rush out, are you sure you want to learn?"

Mizuho Nishino nodded affirmatively: "Going for a drive really makes people feel better, doesn't it?"

So Zhong Yuanzhong also smiled. He looked at the locomotive, hesitated for a while, and threw the helmet back to her.

"Put it on, I'll teach you. Slow down at first, don't rush out all at once."

She obediently responded.

"Mr. Chuya, you may not believe it, after all, my original body is a little weak...but I learn things very quickly, and I am very athletic."

He stared at her suspiciously, considering her self-esteem didn't refute.

……

In fact, she really wasn't lying.

Nishino Mizuho's poor health is purely caused by himself. No one will forget to eat and suffer from stomach problems. He has low blood sugar and does not pay attention to nutritional balance.

When she was in the basketball club in middle school, although she was only a manager and didn't have to train with the players, how could the strict captain, Akashi-kun, allow his members to fish for three days and hang out on the net for two days?She was forced to go for a run by Momoi Wuyue, another manager of the basketball department, which improved her sports performance which had always been weak.Of course, compared to other players, she is still lacking in physical fitness, but her spot-up shooting performance is not bad. Momoi Wuyue said that if she works hard, she might be able to enter the women's basketball team.

After about half an hour of practice, she was able to start smoothly and drove very smoothly.

You must know that Zhongyuan Zhongye's locomotive is not a regular model suitable for the public. It is not bad that she can get started so quickly.

On the way, Zhong Yuanzhong also answered a call.

The signal on the coast far away from the urban area is a little bit bad, and the subordinate’s voice came through the mobile phone slightly vaguely: "Miss Nishino, you asked us to investigate the 'Pandora Gem' this morning. After searching through the information related to the gem business, only one The clue has something to do with you—you ordered a gemstone necklace in Twilight before, do you still have any impression?"

"The ruby ​​inlaid on the necklace... When it was still on the black market, it seemed to be called 'Pandora' because of the many ominous rumors surrounding it, and its attractive color like blood. After verification, the necklace was sold a month ago. Finished delivery and it should be in your hands now."

A month ago...?

Zhongyuan Zhong also frowned upon hearing this.

This time was too coincidental, he remembered that he happened to handle a batch of gems smuggled in from abroad a month ago.Is it from that time?

"Ah... Got it. Thank you."

He looked at the figure of Mizuho Nishino who was tired from learning to drive and was enjoying the scenery not far away, and he responded lightly and hung up the phone.

The sun is about to completely sink to the sea level, the sea of ​​trees under the hillside is full of bright red, and the other half of the sky is dark.

Mizuho Nishino was driving the car on the way back, and Nakahara Nakaya sat in the back feeling weird, not wanting to spoil her interest.He casually held her waist with one hand in order to balance, and when he looked at the sea covered with broken gold and dusk, I don't know if it was his illusion, the scenery today seemed to be more dazzling than usual.

But he suddenly noticed something and swept back, his eyes suddenly sank, the wind on the locomotive was too loud, he leaned close to her ear and told her to stop.

The warm breath gently swept over her earlobe, Mizuho Nishino's hand trembled, if it wasn't for her determination, she would almost overturn the car!

She stopped the car according to his wishes and exchanged seats with him.

"What's wrong?" She asked suspiciously as he put the helmet on again by himself.After she learned to drive a locomotive just now, in order to better see the scenery and feel the sea breeze, she took off her helmet and drove at a slower speed, and he agreed.

"Someone is following. Hold me tight later."

Zhongya Nakahara whispered, the two exchanged positions, and he drove the locomotive, and the locomotive rushed out like lightning. For a while, there was only the sound of violent wind in his ears. Mizuho Nishino put his head on his shoulder and hugged him desperately so as not to let himself Get thrown out.

It was completely different from the pleasant experience brought by the ride just now, Mizuho Nishino realized that Mr. Nakaya had considered her too much, and hadn't even used one-third of his strength before.

After the car rushed out, the few black cars following behind did not hide, and followed up. The car and the locomotive competed on the road.The locomotive threw a large portion of the cars that were chasing and blocking them several times. When it was about to break out of the siege, several other black cars of the same style came oncoming and blocked the entire road.

If you continue to drive, the locomotive and the black car will definitely collide, and the disaster caused is enough to kill both parties, and even cause fire and explosion, but the black convoy remains motionless.Zhong Yuanzhong also had no choice but to step on the brakes, and the wheels made an extremely harsh friction sound on the road, like the chaotic long sound of some musical instrument.

Seven or eight black cars at the front and rear completely surrounded the locomotive, and the entire road was blocked.

The door of the leading car opened, Zhong Yuan looked at the other party coldly, and blocked her without any trace.

She looked at these cars and the people who got out of the cars, and suddenly realized something, her expression became subtle, and she tugged on his sleeve.

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought she was afraid, so he held her hand instead.

The driver in suit and leather shoes stepped forward, he looked at the clasped hands of the two, and bowed respectfully to Nakahara Nakaya.

"Miss, the old president wants to see you, so he asked us to pick you up."

Nakahara Chuya: Huh?
