How to file a resignation with Gin

After a while, Hojo Natsuki lowered his head and smiled, rubbing the tip of his nose against the flowers and leaves.

He said, "Thank you."

Gin glanced at him and stepped on the clutch.

He felt his cheeks start to heat up, and it was useless to give his rational orders to cool down.

This bouquet is really big and fills my arms.Xia Shu kept his head down, his fair cheeks and earlobe were pink, but fortunately, the redness of the rose warmed his face, which made his embarrassment less obvious.

Hojo Natsuki calmed down for a while, unfastened his seat belt, turned slightly sideways, and carefully placed the flower on the back seat.

He forced himself to think of something to calm down, so he sorted out the things [Digital Lord] had done from memory.

Business sector, fishing expert, super European Emperor, using the high-degree-of-freedom 3A magic card to pinch the status of a second-five boy...and, brush the favorability of gin to almost full value.

In order to prevent himself from appearing more embarrassed, he almost subconsciously ignored the last point, thinking about the "second-five boy status".

Red Fang undercover?impossible.

Could it be that the parents and the red party were secretly colluding?Was he executed for betraying the organization? ...But if this is the case, Hojo Natsuki doesn't think he will be let off so easily.

And, most importantly, Gin denies ever sending him flowers.

But his account is indeed Digital King himself, what is going on here...

"Did I like fishing before?" Hojo Natsuki asked, "Did I like to play any simulation business? For example, opening a shop and opening a farm."

This time, Gin didn't fool around with "I don't remember", he cast a cold and disgusted gaze, expressing "What kind of idiot are you?" with one look.

A few seconds later, he explained patiently: "No."

"Really?" Hojo Natsuki stared at Gin's expression closely, and kept recalling what Tsushima once said to himself in his mind, "I'm quite interested, like fishing, doesn't it sound interesting? "

[So you would like to play this kind of game?I thought you only liked silly little games like fishing ^^. 】

What Shuji Tsushima said and did—at the time, the behavior that seemed to be indistinguishable from a psychosis gradually came true a few years later.

Qin Jiu snorted coldly: "It's quite good at fishing."

"So have you ever caught fish?!" Hojo Natsuki became excited, "Will I make a collection guide for this purpose?"

Just when the green light turned red, Qin Jiu turned on the turn signal and turned his head to look at him: "Have you grown up?"

Xia Shu: "..."

He suddenly realized that the fishing in the other party's words was not the same as what he understood. This was undoubtedly an unfounded accusation and a rumor.

"I don't." Xia Shu excused himself, "I seriously reject all the girls who show interest to me."

Qin Jiu looked ahead with calm eyes, and then said a name coldly: "Zhu Xingda."

Xia Shu: "..."

"But Zhu Xingda didn't like me either?" He said.

Gin stopped talking, but his expression showed that he didn't agree with Xia Shu's rebuttal at all.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a three-story building decorated in a very American style. The guards were obviously members of the organization. After confirming Gin's identity, they were allowed to pass.

Xia Shu asked: "Who do you want to go to?"

Qin Jiu stared at him for a while, as if thinking about something, finally shook his head coldly, and ordered: "Wait for me in the car."

Hojo Natsuki responded obediently, thinking that this is really great, and he can take the opportunity to browse the forum; but out of curiosity, he casually checked the owner of the property, and with his good memory, he remembered that this person was Rum Member of faction.

It's not just a matter of a day or two when rum and gin are at odds. Fighting between left and right hands will help the boss to control the power. As long as the trouble is not too much, it will be acquiesced by that gentleman.

Xia Shu recalled Rum's appearance. He didn't meet him many times, and Gin didn't want him to have too much contact with Rum.

Every time I see Rum, the way he looks at a plaything or tool makes Xia Shu unstoppably disgusted.

"Is Gin treating you well? I don't think it's any different." Rum sighed hypocritically, "Almost died at his hands, but are you still willing to work for him? How pathetic."

Then, he said: "If one day Gin doesn't want you, or can't stand him, you can come to me, and I will give you the treatment that an excellent researcher should have."

Hojo Natsuki declined calmly, and then Rum said "Oh" meaningfully, and the tone was disgusting.

After a closer look, when did the discrepancy between gin and rum start?

Hojo Natsuki recalled a little bit forward. In fact, in the year he just came back, the relationship between the two was only occasionally frictional and slightly tense. It was something that happened later that turned into a state of complete opposition.

He was slightly startled for breathing, and felt as if he had caught something.

... There is no evidence, so don't think so, it's too narcissistic.

Hojo Natsuki kept this guess, opened the forum again, and unsurprisingly found that the news had exploded again.

First, the crazy [soap bubbles].

[Soap Bubbles]: I want to ask why, that man killed me again, and you why, don’t explain, keep your head down and keep silent, I should believe that you love me very much and don’t want to perfunctory me... (share music: Sun Ozi - I miss)

……

After coming to California and working with the whiskey group, Xia Shu has unlocked 45 posts, and 45 of the 32 posts are at him or discussing him, which made him feel creepy across time and space.

However, the forum level also broke through Lv4!

【Official Private Message】

Congratulations, your popularity value has exceeded 2000, and you have obtained the title [Rise to Fame], you can choose to wear the title in [Personal Settings] - [My Title]!

It seemed that it was just such a message, and it didn't say what reward was given, but after Xia Shu finished reading it, some changes appeared in the interface immediately.

He finally has a [Search] function!

【Search】Category 【Theme Post Name】, [Theme Post Content], [Post ID], [Follow Post Content], [Post Poster], [Post Post Poster]

The searched topic posts may not be able to be opened, and the next few search buttons are still gray, but it is already a pleasant surprise for Hojo Natsuki.

Hojo Natsuki glanced at the album, he took a photo just now, a Porsche steering wheel, Gin's bony fingers and silver hair, half a rose and a light purple bouquet bag exposed in the lower right corner.

He originally wanted to post a CP discount experience, but when he saw the situation on the homepage, he became apprehensive, but when he looked at the newly unlocked functions, Xia Shu felt that he could do it again.

[cos show] Received a bouquet of roses.

……

Just as Hojo Natsuki was about to quit the forum, the news of [Soap Bubbles] came again. She was like a 24-hour fully automatic crazy robot, staring at his movements all the time; he was about to block the other party, but because the opposite party It was a girl, and he hesitated for a second.

This second gave him a new idea in an instant.

[Soap Bubbles]: Be honest and be lenient!bag!Don't deny it!Put your hands up!

[Ice American Righteous Way in the World]: Do you still have any impression of the props in Red and Black 1?

[Soap Bubbles]:?ah

[Soap Bubbles]: Which one?

He tried to post photos, but he still couldn't post them, so he racked his brains to describe them in words.

[Soap Bubbles]: Let me think about it, I have an impression

[Soap Bubbles]: Hmm... I won't remember the name for a while, but it's a buff item anyway, and it's quite rare. It should be exchanged for some achievement.

[Ice American Righteous Way]: What's the use?

[Soap Bubbles]: Adding luck, anyway, it has nothing to do with non-chiefs like me (gritting teeth) and it is a rare item that can be transferred as a gift, and can even be transferred to NPCs, thus affecting the plot.

[Soap Bubbles]: There was a Miyano family's push chef who also got a draw before, and gave the earrings to Mingmei. She was fine and left the organization smoothly.

[Ice American Righteous Way in the World]: Oh, that's how it is

[Soap Bubbles]: Then I remember this thing, because it can be transferred through the friend system of the official server, and it was sold at a sky-high price, but it is very rare. As far as I know, there are no more than ten in the whole server, and the price can be so high. It all depends on the system gift message attached to the gift

The other party is typing...

【To you, all my luck. 】

Natsuki Hojo tapped the fingers on the virtual keyboard.

[Soap Bubbles]: 55555 I'm so sad, I suddenly told me that the game props are too dramatic, how can the wuli schoolbag have game props, can you continue to lie to my feelings, please! !

Hojo Natsuki reluctantly sent the other party an emoticon package that comes with the system, and then closed the forum.

So now there are two contradictions. First, as an [NPC], how exactly did he keep the game props?

Then, he obviously has the [player] status of exclusive Gin Jiu strategy line at the same time, why doesn't Gin Jiu have any impression of the content of his posts?

Recalling the conversation with Shuji Tsushima, Hojo Natsuki smiled—couldn’t it be by cheating?Before stripping off the [player] identity, he kept an item for himself out of selfishness.

When this idea first occurred to him, he thought it was quite funny, but when he thought about Tsushima's weird behavior in the past, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

The second question has yet to be explained, so he put it on hold for the time being; as for Tsushima, Hojo Natsuki has confirmed that he is a player, and it is very likely that he is a vest of the doctor, and the doctor is indeed his teammate.

Hojo Natsuki sent a message to the doctor, but he still couldn't read it back. He planned to check with the doctor himself after returning to Japan.

After sorting out his thoughts, he lowered his seat slightly and closed his eyes to rest.

……

When he returned to the safe house with the flowers in his arms, Bourbon was still leaning on the sofa chair and writing and drawing on the tablet. He seemed to like that position very much; Zhu Fu Jingguang was staring at a document on the sofa on his right hand Distracted.

"What a bouquet of roses." Bourbon smiled, "I was going to give it to a girl, but was it returned by the other party?"

Hojo Natsuki didn't expect the other party to be so caring, which made the excuse he had originally thought up useless, and said vaguely: "It's about the same."

He asked, "Would you be interested in hearing about Sarah's case?"

Sarah was the daughter of Mrs. Shen, but her body appeared in the basement of her home after "disappearing".

Hojo Natsuki was actually not interested at all, but the other party said so, out of politeness, he just showed a little questioning look.

Bourbon narrowed his eyes, and he came to a shocking conclusion: "Her mother, Mrs. Shen, is planning to kill her."

Hojo Natsuki lacked interest, stick read: "Really."

"I found a chronic poison in Mrs. Shen's bedroom, and a simple analysis of Sarah's body showed signs of poisoning." Bourbon said, "But before the poison completely took her life, someone took the first step." strangle her to death."

Xia Shu: "Sara is Mrs. Shen's daughter, what is the motive?"

Bourbon continued to explain: "It's not his own daughter, but the child of Mrs. Shen's second husband; the man was very rich, but he only left two properties to Mrs. Shen before his death, and the remaining huge property was donated to the trust fund. The formalities are left to Sarah. Obviously, if Sarah dies, Mrs Shen will be the heir to the trust."

Hojo Natsuki nodded, feeling that he should say something to show that he was listening to him, so he casually said: "Then, the relationship between Sara and the gardener may be due to Mrs. Shen deliberately spreading rumors to smear."

Bourbon twitched the corners of his mouth, quite helplessly, and bent his eyes: "Why are you focusing on this kind of place again... Speaking of which, this is indeed true. I have investigated it. Sarah once had a relationship with her lover because of her lover. Ex-boyfriend had a big fight."

Hojo Natsuki applauded without emotion: "Wonderful reasoning, Detective Bourbon."

Fortunately, Bourbon didn't care about Xia Shu's absent-mindedness. He smiled slightly: "So, one is for the investigation mission, and the other is to satisfy my and your little curiosity about the real murderer of Sarah. I need some help from Xia Shu-kun." busy."

Hojo Natsuki thought to himself, so he was waiting here, he looked at Bourbon in surprise, he didn't expect this person to be so devious, he said naturally: "But I'm not curious."

"You just want me to date a rich woman to help you delay time, don't you?" He sneered and accused Bourbon of being a wolf again, "Obviously there are other ways, but this is more convenient, so let's do it, you have no conscience at all, Bourbon .”

Bourbon's face was full of sincerity: "Everything is for the mission."

Xia Shu: "I refuse."

Just like yesterday, Natsuki Hojo returned to the room after resolutely rejecting the other party, thinking about where to go tomorrow.

It has been four or five days since I came to California, and except for the first day of shopping with Shirley, there is almost no leisure time, although in Xia Shu's opinion, shopping with the little girl is more tiring than going to work.

The good news is that he will have half a day of leisure time tomorrow.

Hojo Natsuki planned to go out and find a coffee shop for an afternoon, and then go to eat at a restaurant he liked to patronize when he was in college. He almost used it as a cafeteria, so everyone in the restaurant knew him from the owner chef to the waiter.

"After all, you always come alone." The chef is a Michelin one-star chef, a fat Italian, with a friendly smile, "Will you bring your partner with you someday?"

When Xia Shu remembered this sentence, he had already sent the message to Gin, and immediately regretted it, and wanted to withdraw it; but when he saw the flowers on the table, he hesitated again.

He is always looking forward and backward, but in fact he can't match such a passionate flower as a rose.

[Injustice Boss: Got it. 】

Xia Shu was suddenly a little happy.Like the little fox in a fairy tale, he started to look forward to it because of an agreement that hadn't arrived yet; speaking of it, why would such a cunning little thing like a fox be domesticated voluntarily?Does it have puppy-like habits because it is also a canine?

After being happy alone for a while, Xia Shu felt that this was not enough, and immediately found something else to divert his attention.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, Hojo Natsuki said goodbye to the whiskeys in a dignified manner, saying that he had other things to do... and then started a relaxing and pleasant afternoon tea.

The meaning of work is to catch fish with pay!

Thinking of this, he even briskly walked, so he didn't notice Bourbon's subtle smile just now.

Natsuki Hojo sat down at the coffee shop and ordered a signature drink and truffle fries according to the recommendation of the waiter. Coincidentally, the next table was a Japanese family on vacation abroad. Their children are eleven or twelve years old, and they can already see their handsome features from their childish faces.

The little boy chatted with his father about books, the Sherlock Holmes series, and seemed to be a fan of detectives.

The sun outside the window was warm, and it had rained a few days ago, and the sky was clear and picturesque.

Hojo Natsuki was leisurely observing the birds in the distance, when he heard the sound of high heels stepping on the ground getting closer, he turned his head slightly.

The leisurely smile at the end of his eyes was immediately pressed by the delete button.

"What a coincidence, Lance." Mrs. Shen called his pseudonym and said with a smile, "Do you mind if I sit at the same table with you?"

Hojo Natsuki's scalp was numb, he took a deep breath, and said as calmly as possible: "My honor, ma'am."

He took a sip of coffee to hide the look on his face about to crack.

Hojo Natsuki never believed that this was a coincidence, Bourbon must have used some kind of conspiracy in the middle; he suddenly remembered the forum's name for Bourbon, he thought it was too appropriate, this is indeed a well-deserved sixth child.

Mrs. Shen seemed to ask him a few words kindly, and then began to hint in her words: "Auntie's life is hard, her two husbands are gone, and there are only a dozen houses..."

Natsuki Hojo: "..."

He emptied himself and let all the words flow past his ears, and then he noticed the chat at the next table.

It is perfectly normal for a father to talk about Sherlock Holmes with his son. A young boy has his own hobbies, and cultivating logical thinking skills from an early age will be of great benefit to him in the future... But his mother called him "Xinyi"?

Xia Shu listened carefully again, his father called his mother 'Yukiko'.

He was completely shocked. He didn't expect that when he went out to drink coffee, he would not only bump into the rich woman who was avoiding him, but also bump into the legendary male protagonist of the game's main storyline, Kudo Shinichi, a elementary school student nicknamed Shinigami.

Players in the forum mark the timeline with the first year of Conan as the benchmark. For example, in XX years before Conan, Natsuki Hojo was curious about which side it was, and spent some effort to sort out the plot line of this game.

He originally thought that the actions of the popular characters represented by the "Whiskey Group", "Love Letter" and "Police Academy Group" were the main line, but in fact there is a big difference. Players always have to play until the first year of Conan before officially entering the red-black decisive battle. and Conan, the boy named Kudo Shinichi before he took the medicine and became smaller, is the hero of the main plot of the game.

Kudo Shinichi's most admirable attribute is his death buff, which is nicknamed Xiaoya Shenyue (?).

Hojo Natsuki wanted to verify this, and smiled at Mrs. Shen: "Sorry, I'm sorry."

He got up and walked to the bathroom. He felt a little uncomfortable when he first entered. The smell of air freshener was too strong, and he seemed to be trying to cover up something.

Maybe it was the air freshener that knocked it over, anyway, Hojo Natsuki didn't care too much, took the opportunity to use the newly unlocked search function of the forum, and quickly judged from the title whether he had admitted the wrong person.

After spending a few minutes confirming the identity of the hero, Xia Shu returned to his seat, feeling a little better.

I have to find an excuse to strike up a conversation with Kudo Shinichi. If I get in touch with the other party, I can unlock the forum. Basically, I can confirm the red party status of the player account.

"Lance."

Mrs. Shen smiled ambiguously, and stretched out her fat arm, as if she wanted to touch the back of his hand, but he avoided it calmly.

"You are still so young, how much money can you earn as a policeman? Auntie can help you..."

"Sorry Auntie." Hojo Natsuki said, "I already have..."

He wanted to say 'girlfriend', but the word rolled from his throat and turned into "partner" on the edge of his mouth.

Mrs. Shen's smile remained unchanged: "What's the matter? Auntie won't break you up. You can find more, Auntie doesn't mind."

Xia Shu: "?"

Before he could think of a more outrageous answer, a scream came from the toilet cubicle.

"what--!"

The male waiter rushed over quickly, and a few seconds later, he also yelled high-pitched: "Someone is dead! Call the police!"

Hojo Natsuki looked at Kudo Shinichi in amazement, the legendary god of death is so terrifying, there has been a murder in just a few minutes?

Not only was the young boy not afraid when he heard this, but he even had an eager look on his face, wanting to run to the men's restroom to see what happened; however, the manager on duty of the coffee shop had already stopped at the door of the restroom to prevent customers from entering and destroying the scene.

The announcement sounded in the coffee shop, requesting all guests not to leave without authorization.

Kudo Shinichi turned his head and asked his father: "When Dad went to the bathroom just now, did you notice anything wrong?"

Yusaku Kudo shook his head: "The air freshener smells very strong, but there is no smell of blood."

"Is there such a thing?" Mrs. Shen's eyes widened, as if she had heard something inconceivable and outrageous - she was also a murderer.

She anxiously said to Natsuki Hojo, "Hurry up and host the scene."

It was only then that Natsuki Hojo remembered that his false identity was the Los Angeles police officer, and explained with a smirk: "I am a policeman, and I have to leave this kind of thing to my colleagues..."

Fortunately, Mrs. Shen didn't take it too seriously, so she just nodded.

Ten minutes later, the police arrived.

The police leading the team recognized Kudo Yusaku, opened the back door for him, and allowed him to take his youngest son into the murder scene.

The deceased was a woman. She died tragically, and her entire head was neatly severed.

She was dating her boyfriend Edmund in this cafe, and Edmond was also the one who found the body in the bathroom.

After the police checked and monitored, it was found that the deceased had walked into the men's toilet on his own initiative; after that, three guests entered and left one after another.

They are Yusaku Kudo, Natsuki Hojo and Edmund.

Natsuki Hojo: "..."

He was dumbfounded, and suddenly connected it with the commonly used vocabulary in the forum, "Ke Xue chooses one of three", so that's it; he didn't attack the deceased, Kudo Yusaku is the father of the hero, so the murderer is Edmund, what an obvious thing ah.

"My girlfriend and I are engaged, how could I do such a thing to her?" Edmund cried heartbreakingly, "The murderer is definitely between the two of them."

The head of the police chief's eyes wandered between Kudo Yusaku and Hojo Natsuki, and locked on Hojo Natsuki impartially: "Obviously it can't be Mr. Kudo, why don't you come with us."

Hojo Natsuki took a breath: "????"

Is this how the American police solve crimes?

"Yes, it must be him." Edmund found the driftwood like a drowning man, and poured all the malice on him. He stared at Beijo Natsuki and Mrs. Shen not far away, "He can only talk to Dating women teens older than me and therefore jealous of me being in a normal relationship...”

Hojo Natsuki looked at him in amazement, because it was so outrageous that it was so funny that he couldn't think of words to refute for a while; Edmund opened his cardigan jacket, he was a small man among Europeans and Americans, following his exaggerated performances, from Xia Shu From the angle of the tree, you can see the candy in his outer pocket.

Not right.

Xia Shu restrained his sneer slightly.

When he first entered the coffee shop, he actually took a look at the couple. The sugar cubes on the table were piled up in a wooden tray to form a complete mini pyramid.

Hojo Natsuki ignored the scolding of the police chief behind him, and walked back to the table.

Only one point was missing from the pyramid, but Edmund had three in his pocket; he lowered his head and sniffed the two unfinished cups of coffee, showing a knowing smile.

Because he didn't cooperate with the questioning, the leading policeman was about to get angry when he saw it, and was stopped by Kudo Yuu's words.

He said, "Wait a minute. I don't think the murderer was among the three of us."

Kudo Shinichi was a little unhappy at once: "I found out too, you robbed me."

"Okay." Kudo Yusaku said with a smile, "Then you found out what the murder weapon was, and where is it now? And who is the real murderer?"

Kudo Shinichi thought for a while, and said decisively: "The fishing line is hidden above the ventilation fan. The murderer came in from the outside. Although it is very high here, the outer box of the air conditioner is enough to support a person's weight."

The father and son reasoned in unison, and the clues to the real murderer were immediately found. Although the murderer himself had already left, he left behind a surveillance video showing half of his face.

Edmund said in surprise: "He is..."

The policeman asked, "Do you know him?"

Edmund hemmed and hawed to give a boy's name, he seemed reluctant to mention it, and only admitted that he was his girlfriend's lover after being questioned by the police.

Hojo Natsuki didn't want to get involved, but glanced at the thoughtful Kudo and his son, and decided to speak.

"He's your girlfriend's lover and you're furious," he said. "Is that why you plan to kill her?"

Edmund's face turned pale immediately: "What are you talking about?"

"It's too clumsy, sir." Hojo Natsuki said softly, "The candy in the pocket, the coffee that hasn't been disposed of, the evidence is solid."

Hearing this, Edmund was silent for a long time, sobs overflowed from his throat, and he began to state his crimes.

Kudo Shinichi looked at him with bright eyes, but also concealed a trace of dissatisfaction.

Hojo Natsuki smiled at him: "You are already great, little detective, aren't you afraid?"

"Little detective." Kudo Shinichi chewed on the title, obviously satisfied, with a confident smile on his face, "Of course, my idol is Sherlock Holmes."

"Come on." Xia Shu smiled, "I believe you can."

This level of interaction should be enough.

Hojo Natsuki had no interest in this pediatric case, but thinking of Sara's death, the two cases were indeed somewhat strangely coincidental.

——The malice of the other murderer is hidden under the atrocities of the real murderer, without a trace.

and many more.

His fingertips suddenly became cold, and his eyes slightly widened when he thought of something.

Rum, boss, gin.

Kurosawa formation.

This guess is not the first day, but he has never dared to believe it easily.

He may not believe in Gin, but he should believe in Kurosawa.

Hojo Natsuki suddenly felt dizzy, and there was a loud bang in his mind, his lips moved, struggling to absorb the nutrients in the air, and his fingers twitched slightly because of this.

You must find Gin to confirm this matter.

"Mr. Lance." Kudo Shinichi called his name and said mysteriously, "Come here."

Hojo Natsuki tried his best to show a kind smile, and leaned closer: "What's the matter?"

"You don't like that lady, and you don't really want to date her," Kudo Shinichi said. "You're always looking out the window, looking at your watch, with an absent-minded expression, but with your eyes down and a little smile...you're thinking A person. I guess that person is your partner, right?"

Hojo Natsuki was stunned for a moment.

...was seen through by a child.

He put his index finger on his lips, bent his eyes, and smiled gently at Kudo Shinichi: "...Not yet. Nice to meet you, little detective."

……

The time on the screen gradually moved toward the number agreed upon by Xia Shu and Gin.

He sat on the bench in the open air, half an hour of waiting was not considered long, but he did become the happy little fox, so the time was extended indefinitely, full of joy, soft sunset and A cavity of anticipation.

The whole street was soaked in the sea of ​​orange light, which made Xia Shu's hair soft and docile.

And during these three 10 minutes, young men and women passing by saw that he was single, and those who were bold came up to strike up a conversation.

Xia Shu had just finished rejecting a blond young man helplessly when he saw the Porsche stop in the driveway not far from him.

He ran over quickly without getting into the car, and patted the window on the driver's side.

"What?" Qin Jiu raised the corners of his lips, and said in a calm voice, "Did you finish fishing?"

Xia Shu suddenly smiled brightly: "There is no fishing, so don't spread rumors."

He suddenly realized something, and immediately straightened his face, "I have something very important to ask you, please answer it truthfully."

Gin responded lazily: "En."

He obviously didn't take it too seriously, smoked a cigarette from the cigarette case, and reached out to unscrew the cigarette lighter.

Xia Shu looked at the cat's expression with his hand on the car window, carefully scrutinized the other's expression, and said word by word: "At that time, you didn't want to kill me."

Kurosawa Zhen should know that Gin Jiu never missed the target he set his sights on.

And he realized this, too late.

Gin's movement when lighting a cigarette was a little bit sluggish, so subtle that it was hard to be caught by the eyes.

As far as the current amount of information is concerned, it is not enough for Xia Shu to speculate more, such as why the boss or Rum wanted his life, but acquiesced that he survived.Is it something to be afraid of, or does he have other uses?

He fixed his gaze on Qin Jiu's face, decided to continue testing, and said firmly, "It's the boss."

Natsuki began to wait for his reply.

The fingers of the gin holding the cigarette moved elegantly, took a sip very casually, and replied after a long while: "You are acting affectionate again."

He pinched Xia Shu's jaw, weighed it, and said maliciously: "You didn't die at that time, it was just because of luck."

However, such words could no longer fool Hojo Natsuki, imitating Gin's tone, he snorted very indifferently, and then said, "Oh, so that's the case."

He broke free from Gin's fingers, tilted his head closer, and kissed the other person's cheek, making a very soft "pop".

Then return to the original position in a leisurely manner and observe the other party's expression.

Gin: "..."

The silver-haired man put out his cigarette, leaned slightly, and clasped the back of his head. The distance between the two of them was extremely close in an instant.

However, Xia Shu had already covered his mouth with one hand, and his brows and eyes were crooked with a smile: "If you don't admit it, then you are not allowed to kiss me."

Gin raised his eyebrows: "?"

They were very close, Gin's clear nose rubbed against his finger bones, and his warm and lingering breath blended between his fingers.

Xia Shu's cheeks began to heat up, and he was too nervous to blink.

Gin back a little, and Xia Shu looked at each other for a few seconds, with a slight smile on the corner of his lips.

After a while, he leaned closer again, and his lips gently touched the back of Xia Shu's palm.

Like an electric shock, Xia Shu suddenly put away his hands and said in surprise, "You..."

A kiss with a very strong sense of predatoryness fell down like an overwhelming one.
