wait for dawn

doing what! !

Turning a blind eye to her horrified gaze, Tsunayoshi Sawada pushed open the door of the adjacent room first, turned sideways and smiled lowly at her.

"come in."

Lan Ling followed him in with a blank expression, but found even more blankly that it seemed to be his office.

——So, did she end up being a door-to-door lunch after she stood foolishly in front of someone's office for so long?

——Bah, bah, bah, what a metaphor, I really have a confused mind, right?

Confused, he watched Tsunayoshi Sawada picked up the landline and said something. After a while, someone pushed the dining car in.

Seeing the maid arranging meals on the desk, Lan Ling felt even more entangled.

As for the maid who left the room after setting up, she was forced to sit on the boss chair by Sawada Tsunayoshi and was supervised to eat - eat too much, don't be picky eaters or something - Lan Ling was so entangled that she wanted to COS Irie Masaichi-kun who had a stomachache .

So...why did the situation develop to this point?

19. Goal 18 meets...

After finally finishing the meal with trembling eyes like a hundred-watt light bulb, Lan Ling was about to say farewell words such as "Thank you for the hospitality, I will get out of here", Tsunayoshi Sawada raised his lips, and put the three thick books together. Books stuffed into her arms.

"Huh?" Reflexively took it, Lan Ling looked down, and the words "box weapon", "ring", "principle" on the title made her part her lips involuntarily, apparently in surprise.

"These……"

"These are simplified theories and should be used as a quick introduction." Tsunayoshi Sawada relaxed his standing posture and leaned half against the desk behind him.His gaze was purely gentle and honest, but he couldn't see his true emotions at all, "I guess, Ah Ling, you must need these very much right now?"

Slightly startled, Lan Ling pretended to be nonchalant and turned her eyes away, focusing all her attention on the book in hand.In fact, her heart was far less calm than she appeared to be, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a stormy sea.

The Q version of the blue bell in my heart is like a small boat swaying miserably in the storm at this moment, bumping up and down with the words of Sawada Tsunayoshi, and I am extremely at a loss.

——Why, he knows what he thinks?

No, instead of using the phrase "seeing through oneself", she felt that Tsunayoshi Sawada was more like... knowing herself very well.Thinking about it carefully, from just now, his words and deeds seem to be catering to her thoughts, and then he guides her behavior with ease without changing his expression.

…………

know yourself? !

No...not possible.

She immediately vetoed it, but Kokoko's words pierced into her mind like a needle.

"Even if the guy you want to save is your Tsuna-kun. Not to mention that Tsunayoshi Sawada was injured a little bit and is not on the verge of death, even if he was maimed and beaten to death three-quarters or even completely dead Now, I don’t allow you to use that forbidden technique to save him, did you hear me?!”

"Your... Gang-jun"?

... Hey, this joke is not funny at all!

Reining in her mind, Lan Ling pretended to be brisk, smiling and nodding at Tsunayoshi Sawada:

"Thank you, Judaimu-sama of Vongola, then..."

The remaining half of the sentence "Then can I go back to my room to see?" Before she left her mouth, Tsunayoshi Sawada cut off her inquiry:

"The brightness of the lights here is very suitable for reading, so you can read it here first."

Lan Ling's pseudo-romantic expression froze, as if she felt that she was being petrified in the wind.

"Yes, is it?"

——No, she should fight for it!Why have a guilty conscience? !Where did this inexplicable sense of guilt come from? !

Looking up and taking a peek at 270, who had a warm face and a bright smile, Lan Ling just wanted to roar fiercely.

Dude your smile is so bright!It is very immoral to bully ordinary people with big empty coercion!

"Wait a moment……"

"Aling." Tsunayoshi Sawada suddenly restrained his smile.His eyes were blocked by the shadow cast by his bangs, and from Lan Ling's angle, he could only see his dark side face.At this moment, he suddenly gave Lan Ling a fragile illusion, "Am I... scary?"

"... What's the matter?" Lan Ling's eyes widened, and Lan Ling's expression could be described as stunned and shocked.

"Don't be so wary of me...I, I won't hurt Ah Ling...absolutely."

After a long breath, Lan Ling blinked, and turned her gaze to the slender figure against the light again.

She hadn't realized the meaning of what Tsunayoshi Sawada said, and his next sentence directly caused her to fall into the second round of chaotic demons dancing in the wind.

"Hmm... Ah Ling, let's call me Ah Gang." With a teasing tone, she didn't have the deep feeling before.

Lan Ling only felt the blood rushing up, as if some nerve called reason had been disconnected.

She finally yelled out.

"——Who, who wants to call you Gang, huh!!"

>>

Lan Ling felt that her brain must be broken.

That tone of strong arrogance and unceremonious offense to the BOSS almost scared her for a while.

If the mafia boss in front of me is not Tsunayoshi Sawada... No, to be precise, if the mafia boss in front of me is not Tsunayoshi Sawada who "has a relationship with her in the past", then her hot-headed impulsiveness will offend others The consequences must be quite dire.

Was she too indulgent with herself?To do such a stupid thing.

So, almost the moment she yelled, she bit her lip nervously.

"Sorry, I was joking just now...Ze...Agang-kun." No matter how clumsy the lie is, it must be done for the sake of appearance.

"Aling." Zetian Tsunayoshi's tone showed deep helplessness, he opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.

Feeling that entanglement and hypocrisy are unnecessary and unreasonable, Lan Ling calmed down, sat on the small desk next to the desk, and seriously flipped through the few books Sawada Tsunayoshi gave her.

The light shone on her quiet face, casting a layer of obscure depression.

She huddled in a corner of the small desk, and under the cover of the soft light, she looked extraordinarily thin and dazed.

It's like, I can't find where I belong and I'm always afraid of something.

A gloomy wave flashed across Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes, he clenched his fists tightly, but finally lowered his eyes and remained silent.

The moment Lan Ling flipped through the book, she completely calmed down, carefully pondering every word and sentence on it.

It took her two hours to read through the three thick books, and she had a general understanding of how to keep away from rings, flames, and box weapons and how to use them.

However, it is absolutely not enough to just rely on these two hours of theoretical supplementation. It is also necessary to continuously supplement theoretical knowledge through actual combat.

After confirming her plan, Lan Ling closed the pages of the book in a happy mood. She couldn't help but hold her breath when she turned her head and saw the figure darting into her sight.

There is a thick stack of documents on the desk.

Tsunayoshi Sawada leaned his head halfway on the table, his right hand was still holding the pen tightly, but his eyelids were completely closed.

Thick eyelashes cast a thick shadow on the eyelids, showing his tiredness and sleepiness.

It could be seen that he was already extremely tired, even though he was pushing himself to work, he fell asleep unknowingly.

Lan Ling's brows furrowed slightly, and the fragmentary clues in her heart were connected into a ball, making her feel faintly bored.

Nobuko Chuanping told her that Tsunayoshi Sawada took Lanshou and Yushou a few days ago to negotiate with some families who wanted to withdraw from the Vengley Alliance.The attitude of those families was very tough, and Pengo Lie had negotiated with them for many days without any results, and he did not come back until this afternoon.

And in the evening, she clearly saw that Tsunayoshi Sawada had time to change out of the suit he was wearing when negotiating in the future, so she fought with Hibari.

And then... She couldn't be more clear, couldn't she?

Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't treat the wounds on his face at all, he just threw away the suit jacket that was smashed by the skylark, and just wore the thin white shirt stained with blood, reviewing the documents on the desk like a workaholic .

Is this guy... crazy?After working hard for several days, he didn't go to rest after returning. Instead, he got injured in a fight with someone as powerful as Hibari Kyouya, and even went to work immediately after the battle...

No, so the guy doesn't have time for dinner, does he? !

This guy...is treating himself harshly.Tsunayoshi Sawada, what are you... thinking about?

The scene of Tsunayoshi Sawada smiling at her while she was eating in embarrassment suddenly appeared in her eyes, and Lan Ling felt as if her heart had been hit hard by something strange.

At that time, she was only concerned with the entanglement in her heart, and she didn't think much about the meaning of that smile and gaze.

Now, the memories in my mind are like a video tape played backwards, clear and thorough.

Such a gentle and tolerant gaze that can even be called pampering and a sincere smile with joy and satisfaction... It is clearly...

"Actually, Tsunayoshi Sawada treats you..."

"Sal, don't make such a joke."

Who's going to tell her...it's not true?

20. Goal 19 Fighting...

After struggling secretly for a while, Lan Ling let out a sigh of relief, her eyes wandered, and she stopped on a dark brown spot on the couch.

Blanket?She frowned unconsciously.Tsunayoshi Sawada...I often work here until late at night...Is it okay to even rest here?

Trying to ignore the dull feeling in her heart, Lan Ling turned her attention to the hanging clock in the room—it pointed directly at the number 10.
