Not too many out of four

Pressing the sore and tired shoulders with his fingers, he massaged slowly and stiffly in a circular motion. Through the thin cloth of the clothes, the fingertips touched the muscles, bones, and flesh underneath. They were as light and slender as a butterfly, making it difficult to use heavy hands, for fear of causing pain. Bad opponent.

The soft and relaxed humming made his ears feel hot and hot. He wanted to shrink his hands and thought that the massage had just begun, and he was the one who proposed to give Lijia a massage at the beginning, and he would never give up halfway.

He tried hard to tell himself that massaging Li Jia, who worked so hard to teach him the practical knowledge of comics, was a very common way of thanking her, and he didn't need to pay too much attention to it.

As long as you calm your mind, clear your mind, and treat yourself as a massage tool, you don't want to think about anything.

"Hmm... It hurts a bit, can you please ease it, Mr. Zhongya?" Li Jia snorted, turned her head slightly and called him softly.

He was slightly lost in thought, so slightly hoarse with some comfort and relaxation, snorted softly, and suppressed small panting, it was really hard not to make people think wrong.

His gaze couldn't help but focus on the girl's slender and beautiful back neck, with beads of sweat dripping from her soft and defenseless posture, "Mr. Zhongye" vaguely felt that his throat was starting to dry up, he licked his lips and tried to turn away the thoughts that came up in his mind. The urge to bite down and severely suppress Li Jia.

Is it because the herbal tea scalded my throat just now?However, he feels that he has had ice cubes and sprayed medicine, and now he is almost better, and he will no longer feel pain, numbness and difficulty in speaking.

The pupils in the cobalt blue eyes contracted into narrow slits, "Mr. Zhongye" licked his teeth, and responded in a low voice: "...Okay, I'll be gentle."

Feeling bad, he could no longer focus on Li Jia's back neck, he changed his posture and shifted the focus of the massage to the slightly undulating butterfly bone on the back, pressing down on her shoulder with one hand and dropping the other hand down Rubbing with the palm of his hand, he locked his gaze firmly on the black knitted fabric of Seirin's school uniform.

"Mr. Zhongye" tried his best to clear his mind, but there were light or heavy gasps accompanied by suppressed and patient hums, which made him more and more at a loss, and he began to stand uneasy.

"...Let's go here first today."

Li Jia touched the back of her neck and shoulders which were much looser, and was a little bit reluctant to let the massage time end so soon, but the boy had already said so, and she was not willing to make things difficult for him: "Thank you, Mr. Zhongye, I really troubled you today."

Occasionally relaxing and enjoying a massage to soothe a stiff body is not a pleasure, is it?Drawing on the desk for a long time is prone to various problems. Although you can simply stretch your body afterwards, it can't relieve much pain and discomfort.

"Mr. Zhongye" hastily avoided her smile, and said in a low voice, "No, I was the one who wasted your time."

He was a little ashamed and guilty of his obscene thoughts, and he didn't even dare to look at the girl's overly beautiful eyes with gratitude and smile.

It was obviously just an ordinary massage, but he wanted to bend to another place, and he almost couldn't resist the urge to hug her in his arms and bite the back of his neck.

Was it because the cat's impulsiveness had affected his mind?Or is it because it is spring?But he is obviously a human first and then a cat, his thoughts and behaviors are all dominated by human reason, and should not be affected by the habits of cats.

What the eyes focused on was the girl's slender neck, what the ears listened to was the subdued panting sound, and even what the nose smelled was her faint fragrance that came out along with the sweat...

The girl's body information captured by the perception of the world forms a charming and ambiguous picture that makes him feel delusional and impulsive.

This feeling is very dangerous, both for him and for Li Jia. It is an impulse that needs to be suppressed and restrained.

……

In the early hours of the night, Li Jia woke up in a daze, rubbing her eyes: "I'm so thirsty..."

The depths of her throat were dry, and she desperately needed water to moisturize her. She got out of bed, stepped on slippers, and walked in the dark to the kitchen. Perhaps it was because of the dry weather. Recently, she always woke up thirsty in the middle of the night, and she couldn't do anything without drinking water to moisten her throat. continue to sleep.

Li Jia left the bedroom lightly, and closed the door to isolate the snoring of the regularly sleeping cats in the room.

She didn't want to disturb the little cat's sleep because of her actions, "Mr. Zhongye" always looked like he couldn't wake up every morning.

Recently, several men in the family have started to devote themselves to work one after another. Occasionally, they will call her if they can't make it back at night. They need to stay out for a night, so she doesn't have to worry.

"Brother Zhongye" and "Mr. Zhongye" are well-measured people. Even if they are busy with work, they will not put themselves in an embarrassing situation. Li Jia doesn't need to worry about them.

"Mr. Zhongye" helps her at home every day, sharing housework and comic work for her, and her daily life and schedule are very consistent with her, so there is no need to worry.

The only person who makes Li Jia feel at ease is "Zhong Ye".

It seems that after returning from their trip to Shizuoka, after the start of Seirin High School, the whereabouts of "Chuya" began to become mysterious, often needing to leave Mihua Town, leave Tokyo, and go to other cities, and come back with stars and moon in the dead of night .

He would not tell Li Jia his purpose and whereabouts, but only vaguely explained that he had to go out for something that needed to be dealt with, but he would try his best to come back no matter how late, so that Li Jia could see him when he woke up the next day.

"Zhongye" seems to be burdened with some unspeakable secrets. When "Mr. Zhongye" and "Brother Zhongye" frankly said that they would go out to work and might come back later or simply live outside, he resisted the pressure. I don't say anything, but I will try my best to go back to Kudo's house in Mihua Town no matter how late or tired I am.

He handed Li Jia the card that he would receive rewards from time to time, and went out with the secondary card and some change, refusing to ask for help when he was an adult, silently suppressing all actions alone.

When the two adults who went out, Zhongyuan Zhongye, encountered special circumstances that they could not get home in time, they would entrust the housework and escort tasks that were originally their turn to their teenage selves, but "Zhongyuan" never did this.

No matter how tired he was, he never thought of entrusting the matter of "family and Lijia" to others, even if that person was his former self.

So when there was a faint sound downstairs, Li Jia couldn't help sticking her head out along the stairs, and then the moonlight shining in from the window saw the familiar ocher hair, and softly called: "Zhongye, I came back so late today ?"

When she had already slept and woke up at two or three in the middle of the night, a person quietly opened the door and came back.

"Zhong Ye" paused, and responded in a low voice: "Is Li Jia unable to sleep?"

He rarely saw the girl awake when he came back in the middle of the night. He was busy for several months inquiring about the affairs of the Black Organization, concealing his actions from Li Jia and the others, and using Ireland's introduction into the organization to complete the task desperately to obtain the code name.

Layers of heavy pressure fell on his shoulders. It's not that he doesn't feel tired, but he just doesn't want Li Jia to worry and fear, so he chooses to keep silent and hide everything.

Let Kudo inquire about the news for nearly a year, but the organization in black that has never been able to obtain important secrets is not as simple as he first imagined. While the deeply buried forces spread all over the world, the leader of the organization is extremely cowardly. Even the members of the organization It is difficult for the cadres to know his true identity and whereabouts.

If you don't get the code name of the organization, you can't get close to the leader of the black organization, and if you can't get close to that coward, let alone solve the crisis between Li Jia and Kudou.

During this time, in order to obtain the code name of the organization, "Zhongye" worked hard to squeeze his time and traveled all over the place, just to get close to the leader of the black organization hidden in the deepest part as soon as possible.

But that guy is too suspicious and too timid. Even if he shows strength and completes tasks with high efficiency and speed, he can't get the code name in advance, let alone get close to other cadres with code names in the organization.

He has been unable to achieve his goal for a long time. Seeing that the black organization is in front of him, but if its huge power cannot be eradicated by grasping the pain points, the people of the black organization will definitely eradicate all traces of the organization he has come into contact with without hesitation. , without leaving a trace of remnants and the possibility of being exposed to the eyes of the world.

The mission of the Black Organization is different from that of the Port Mafia. It is more inclined to hide itself and expand its power and financial resources in private with crazy greed. It does not hesitate to eradicate those who are unwilling to join forces.

They will not protect anything, whether it is order or justice, all they do is plunder and violence.

Even the "Zhongye" who have not yet been fully immersed in the mafia world find it troublesome and troublesome. They cannot communicate with evil organizations that cannot be lured to achieve their goals. It may not be appropriate to say that they are the mafia. They are a more pure black and more terrifying organization.

Even his companions can be wiped out without hesitation. There are countless people lurking in the business and political circles, but the people he comes into contact with during his mission are all shocked.

Many of these people have been promoted to their current status by the black organization, and there are also people with outstanding abilities who have been coerced and lured into the periphery of the organization, but just looking at the power these people have in the country makes "Zhongye" very headache .

It's no wonder that Kudo hasn't been able to get much information for such a long time, and it's even difficult to get in touch with it.

The more anxious he was to complete the task and want to get the code name, the more suspicious the leader of the organization was and refused to do what he wished. During this period of time, he was always running around the task site and Mihua Town, which had already put a lot of burden on "Chuya"'s body.

The mission of the Black Organization is nothing to "Zhongye". The difficulty is that he completes the mission intensively and insists on going home to see Lijia, maintaining his human form for a long time and ignoring the abnormal signals of his body.

The tired look on his face can even be seen by the guys at home, let alone Li Jia, who is always careful.

He didn't want to tell her why he was so busy and tired, and she also restrained the urge to ask, just looked at him with worried eyes, and softly persuaded him to rest more when he came back, so that he didn't need to always look after her.

But he rushed back to Mihua Town just to be with Li Jia, no matter what he did, as long as he saw her, he could relax a lot.

The girl in Mihuacho Kudo House is an important medicine for "Chuya". It can relieve his mental fatigue and physical pain. It is also a painkiller for high fever, and it also supports his heart to go back and forth. harbor.

Only Li Jia, only Li Jia, was the one he didn't want to lose and didn't want to lose.

Even if he was in a different period, "Zhongye" was determined not to let him go.

……

"I've slept for a few hours," she replied slowly shaking her head, her eyes brightened, "Is Chuya going to get up early tomorrow?"

She was worried that the boy's body would not be able to hold on, so she always ignored her physical state and barely moved.

"Well, I'm going to Osaka tomorrow," "Chuya" smiled at her reassuringly, and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back in the afternoon if everything goes well."

Li Jia lowered her brows and said in a low voice, "Are you taking the Shinkansen?"

It takes two to three hours to take the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka. If you take a plane, it may be a little faster, but the calculation of the itinerary to the airport and the waiting time are actually not much different.

Both the plane and the Shinkansen are faster and less uncomfortable travel methods.

But "Zhongye" wanted to come back in the afternoon, so he had to get up early in the morning, set off in a hurry and come back in a hurry. There was almost no time for mental rest, and it was impossible to get a good rest during the journey.

"It's by plane, it will save some time." "Zhongya" walked up the stairs, with a little smile on his brows, without any impatience or feeling that Li Jia disturbed his rest time.

Even if he could sleep for less than five hours from now on, he never thought of leaving Li Jia behind and turning back into a cat to go back to sleep in his room.

He cherishes the quiet time when only the two of them are talking alone, and he even feels that he can't rest. Just talking to Li Jia can make him happy and refreshed.

"...Zhongye," Li Jia quietly lowered her head, gently grabbed his sleeve, and asked softly, "Can I not go?"

"Zhong Ye" was slightly stunned, he blinked and asked, "Why?"

"Do you need my help tomorrow?" He looked a little happy. If Li Jia needed help, he was the first person who thought of him. "It's okay, I can leave later."

As long as the mission of the Black Organization can be completed on the same day, it doesn't matter if it is earlier or later.

Compared with Li Jia's affairs, those troublesome and busy tasks are of course Li Jia's affairs are more important.

There are tasks every day, and it is not every day that Li Jia wants him to help.

Anyway, the timid and suspicious leader of the black organization is suspicious of him, so he probably won't give him a code name in a short time, and it doesn't matter to postpone the mission occasionally.

Convincing himself with peace of mind, "Zhong Ye" raised his eyebrows and waited for Li Jia's answer.

"No," Li Jia shook her head slowly, her blue eyes raised up against the background of the moonlight behind her, they looked soft and quiet and shimmering, making people reluctant to blink, she said softly: "I want to be able to do it tomorrow." Stay home and rest."

He hasn't had a good day off for a long time, and he is always busy with outside and home affairs. She is worried that "Chuya" will be unable to support his body and collapse.

The sleeping time of Nakahara Chuya and the others is equal to the resting time of turning back into a cat. "Brother Zhongye" and "Mr. Nakaya" will not delay the rest and sleep time even if they are outside, and make their spirits worse.

But "Zhong Ye" squeezed his body too much. He was ignoring the protest signals sent by his body, gradually reducing the rest time for turning back into a cat, and devoting all his energy to busy things, lifting his mental oppression drive oneself to action.

"It's enough to rest from now on." He wanted to turn his eyes away to look at the moonlight outside, and to stagger those beautiful eyes that people couldn't bear to refuse, but when Li Jia was thinking about him and looking at him so wholeheartedly, he couldn't help it. I couldn't take my eyes off it.

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

He almost enjoyed the moment when all the attention and mind of the greedy girl fell on him, and even used his eyes to trace the expression of her worryingly pursed lips, keeping this scene firmly in his heart.

"Zhong Ye" raised his hand to restrain Li Jia's sleepiness, lifted a little bit of black hair, smoothed it little by little and combed it with his fingers, and said with a smile on his lips: "I have a sense of proportion."

"...If you really have a sense of proportion, you won't make yourself like this." She turned her head to avoid his fingers, and her soft and hoarse voice was full of resentment.

Chasing her hair with his fingers, "Chuya" looked at her angry look funny, curling the ends of her hair that fell on her shoulders around his fingers, "I come back every day because I can't sleep outside, and I didn't force myself to run return."

He knew that Li Jia was comparing him with the other two guys who went out to work, but he didn't think it was hard work or forced. If there was anything annoying, it would only be the group of black crows. The bastards who hide in the dark and covet Lijia's safety.

"No matter how many times we say it, you won't listen, will you?" She looked at him angrily and disappointed, and she didn't even have time to care about the annoying little movement of "Chuya" fingering her hair.

"Chuya" was stunned, he was almost at a loss and didn't understand why Li Jia was angry, he looked at him with such disappointed eyes, and the fingers that hooked her hair convulsed and shrank.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain but didn't know what he could say.

He couldn't tell Li Jia about the black organization, and he couldn't let her know the danger he was approaching now. He suddenly found that he didn't know how to explain his behavior of going out every day and not wanting to stop and rest.

"Li Jia, trust me, okay?" The voice that was suppressed in his mouth was finally released, but he could only say such weak words, "I will be fine, and I will not let myself have an accident."

Everything he does now is to protect her.

This is not a sacrifice for him, but something voluntary and wanted to do.

He still has to protect her with his own strength, so how could something happen and leave her alone.

"Do you have to be like this, so you know I'm angry and sad?" She was so annoyed, she pulled the hand that fell on her hair and bit down heavily, her canine teeth slightly sunk into the flesh and pierced the skin to reveal a little blood.

She clings to "Zhong Ye"'s hand tightly, the water in her eyes swirls and she still tries to stare at him.
