[Hunter] Reasons not to love you

Although I was a little skeptical that Shiba's statement that I "can withdraw at any time" contained a trap, I still had the attitude of giving it a try and agreed to his request for a formal relationship.

Who told me to really like him?Those who are favored can be confident.

The time I traveled was too early. Computers in this world are rare items used by a few people. The network is very slow, and so is the traffic.

And most importantly, the mobile phone, which is almost owned by modern people, has not yet been invented.

Phone calls can only be made from indoor landlines or from public phone booths.

Living in a world where technology has been backward for decades and far away from the light of technology, I, a modern person who feels uncomfortable without wifi, has suffered for a long time.So I don't understand why those human beings who want to travel back to the past should give up the countless conveniences brought by technology?I don't want to go back to the old days!

Didi.A beep came from the pocket.

Ah, there is news.

The source of the sound is a small black box less than half the size of a palm, the upper half is a display screen, and the lower half is a few operation buttons.

This is a pager, because mobile phones have not yet been invented. If you want to contact someone who is away from home immediately, you can use a fixed phone to broadcast to a paging station, and then the paging station will forward specific content to the other party's pager.The number of characters that can be displayed on the pager screen is limited, a maximum of 12 characters can be displayed.Pagers can only receive information, but cannot send information. To reply or learn more details, you have to find a nearby landline phone and call the other party back.

In short, it is a machine that cannot make calls or send text messages, and can only receive text messages with a maximum of 12 characters.

Alas, I miss the high-tech era so much.

The pager displayed a message from Sheba: I'll see you the day after tomorrow when work is done

Poor pager that doesn't even support punctuation, the technological progress of the world makes me sad.

The last time I met Xiba, I agreed to formally communicate with him six days ago, and then he returned to the family to work.Their family, the world's number one assassination family, beats enemies. The advantage of their job is that they don't have to be on duty. The disadvantage is that their work locations are not fixed, and they are all over the world. The time for a business trip can be up to a month, and most of them are spent on the road. .

It’s so slow, so slow, it’s completely different from the fast-paced technological society. Every time I take the green train, I miss the high-speed rail.

As a professional killer, Shiba often travels all over the world.

And I am a freelance writer, and I also need to travel around the world to collect materials.

Due to our respective occupational reasons and the inconvenience of transportation and communication, it is common for us to get together less often and not see each other once for a whole month.

In order to cherish every opportunity to meet, of course I pull him into bed as soon as we meet. After all, after I fell in love with him, the most direct desire is to want to have sex with him.

"What are you doing?" He caught me staring at the clock on the wall.

"I'm counting." I replied lying on the bed.

"Count what?" he asked.

"How many times can I count you in one second... Hey! Uh... Uh..."

As the spice of low-tech life, I was super happy playing with him.

Such a good-looking boy, he doesn't even need to pay to sleep, is this heaven?

Yes, this is heaven!

When I first got the boy, because the boy kept going on business trips, sometimes I didn’t see him for a month. At that time, I fell into a passionate love, and I couldn’t help myself, almost suffering from dependence.

"Well, can I go back later?" I grabbed the boy's clothes at the entrance, the boy was going home, and he was going back to the old lair of the enemy in Kukulu Mountain.

Seeing that the boy hesitated, I quickly added, "Just hold me."

"If it's not too long, it's okay." He nodded and reached out to hug me.

I seemed to be so attached to him that even I felt ashamed, so I asked him to keep the clothes he was wearing as a memory for me.

"..." He was really startled by my request, opened his eyes wide, and remained silent for a long time.

"Not doing weird things." I assured him, "I just want to cuddle and sleep because it smells of you."

"...I understand." He thought for a while, and assured me, "In the future, I will choose tasks and try not to do tasks that are too far away from you. Is this okay?"

Pulling his collar, I buried my head in his neck and took a deep breath, then I let him go, still a little aggrieved, "...Okay."

He kissed my forehead reassuringly.

The door closed and I ran to the balcony to watch him leave.

The professional killer is very sensitive to the sight that falls on him, so he didn't need me to shout out, he turned his head and waved at me.

Seeing his figure disappear completely, I thought more than once, if he didn't beat the enemy, I could imprison him and let him belong to me alone.It's a pity that the Dadike family is too powerful, far beyond my personal reach, and I can't afford to mess with it.

Back in the bed we had been together, I cried with grief as the last of the warmth wore off, and I suddenly felt like a widow who had just died with her new husband.

cough.

In short, the period when I was obsessed with juveniles was a long time ago, and now I can deal with it calmly and maintain my demeanor.

After I agreed to Xiba's request for a formal relationship, he said: "Since we are officially dating, let's live together. Instead of living in my house, live in our two's house, what do you think?"

"!!!" Is there such an operation? !

No, a little too excited.

Seeing my gaffe, Shiba would laugh, and he is smiling now.

are you god !When humans think, you laugh?

As the number one task of starting a formal relationship, we have to prepare a home that belongs to the two of us, not his home, nor my home, so we need to jointly decide what this home will look like.

It's been a long time since I've been looking forward to the meeting between Sheba and me. In the past, the activities of meeting were always in bed, and the fun will inevitably decrease if I do too much.

The things to do this time are very fresh, including the experience of the previous life, and I have never done the thing of buying a two-person home.

I was an ordinary salaryman in my previous life, and the local housing prices were too high. Before I could save enough for the down payment of the house, I died in an accident.

The emperor is not in a hurry. The eunuch is in a hurry. He saw me and walked so slowly!

"Shiba!" I rushed up and threw myself into his arms, with my head just at the height of his chest.

It's not that I'm short, it's that he's already 1 meters tall. Back then, when he was a teenager, the height gap between him and me was not that big, and his figure was also thin.

Now I look at other people's tall and big appearance, and I can't help but feel the separation of a little milk dog growing into a giant dog.

This fucking character is simply not the same character, Li Hui is a fraud.

If it weren't for my wide range of hobbies, I might immediately turn a fan into a passerby on the day he ended his teenage years.

"Have you been kept waiting?" His voice resonated in his chest, reverberating, and it was a little deeper than usual, "I left you a message before getting in the car, didn't you check the pager?"

"I see." I grabbed the clothes on his chest and complained, "I thought you would come early."

"Early or late, it's not punctual. You know I'm a punctual person."

"Stupid. Occasionally, if I come early, I can treat it as a surprise."

"Then I'm worried about disturbing you and disrupting your schedule."

"Big idiot!" I waved my clenched fist at him.

He didn't care about me, he eased the serious expression on his face, gently raised his hand to wrap my fist, "Okay, I am."

The translation is: next time as usual.

Whatever he insists on personally, no matter how gentle and considerate he is, he will not change even a little bit for me.

A person who is unwavering and good at blurring edges and corners is very scary when he makes calculations, so you must not rely on him casually, otherwise you will be led by the nose by him.

"My family, I have already negotiated. Temporarily reduce my work, and give me at most one task per month." He tried to reassure me with good news, "This way we can spend enough time together and get to know each other better. "

"Oh." In order not to appear indifferent, I added, "Is it okay?"

"It's okay, there are enough people in the family."

We went upstairs together and sat down on the sofa in my living room. He asked me what I planned to do first, and I said that I should first decide where to live, which country and which city to live in.

First, it must be a place with a stable situation and relatively convenient transportation.

Second, the environment should be suitable for people to live in, and the degree of greening should be better.

"I think so too." Xiba agreed, "Our family has a lot of vacant properties in good locations that can meet your needs. Although they are vacant, they are usually taken care of by a dedicated person, and we have basic furniture and electrical appliances. We can You can check in at any time. After we pass by, we will see what is missing or want to change, and we can arrange it with the housekeeper."

"Wait, wait!" When Shiba was about to say the next paragraph, I seized this opportunity to stop him, "Shiba, please stop your behavior of flaunting your wealth."

There are many, the location is good, the property is vacant, someone takes care of it, talk to the housekeeper, arrange it well... What kind of old-fashioned Mary Sue novel about a domineering president is this!

"?" Xiba held the palm of my hand in front of him. "I'm just telling the truth about my family situation. This is something that I will face sooner or later. I hope to take this opportunity to let you know me better."

Well, when I read the original manga, I knew that Dadike was very, very rich. The entire top of Kukulu Mountain, including the sea of ​​trees at the foot of the mountain, was all the private territory of Dadi Hakka.The number of servants serving them, in hundreds.

Although I'm not short of money, but that's compared with ordinary people. If compared with the big business of the family who beat the enemy, I'm afraid I'm not as good as a fraction of them.

Well, well, well, the wealth they have worked hard for for generations is certainly not the same as my personal struggle for more than ten years.

But the gap between rich and poor is too big!

Besides, I am an orphan, and I don't have a strong enough natal family to support me. Under normal circumstances, after marrying into a wealthy family, I will have no status and rely on others all day long. , kicked me out.

The profession of beating enemies is quite special. They need to be "strong", which is their foundation, so they don't pay attention to matching each other.What they look at is the individual's genetic potential, which is similar in essence to other giants, all in order to receive external resources that can bring them real value.

Don't think about it, I don't plan to marry Xiba, I will break up after playing with him enough, don't forget the original intention.

"I don't want to live in your house." I said straight to the point, "I don't want to experience the feeling of being kicked out by you."

"I wouldn't do that." He asked in turn, "Why would I do that?"

"For example, you and I are arguing, and we don't want to see each other." I first mentioned a less serious situation.

"I have many places to go, I don't need to drive you out."

"For example, if we break up, then I must leave by myself." I asked the ultimate question.

"Peerless." Shiba reached out and touched my cheek, "Even if we break up, I don't mind leaving the house to you, and you can dispose of it as you please. My family and I don't care about such small things."

"I care. Do you think I would be so thick-skinned?" Although it seems true when you say you don't care, please stop showing off your wealth! !

"Then what do you mean?"

"I want to buy a new house."

"It's 'I', isn't it 'we'?" Xi Bating was picky about words, "According to what you said, this is the same as you living in my house. Peerless, you want to kick me out?"

"..." As expected of you, I really thought about kicking you out.The scene of the abandoned big cat must be very cool and fun.

"You're always like this. You even paid for the opening of the hotel." He said helplessly.

"I'm an independent woman!" I patted my chest, "If you are willing to quit beating the enemy, I can support you."

He didn't answer, just stroked my hair gently.

Yeah, he and I both know there's no way he'll quit beating the enemy.

"At least this time, as the first step in a formal relationship, let's treat 'I' as 'we'. Is it okay to do the AA system first?" he said.

"Well, good." I agreed.

Buying a home is an easy thing to do when you have enough money... shit!

"Why not buy a bigger house, we are not short of money." Said the young man who had not been severely beaten by society.

"There is no shortage of money and you can't waste it. There is no need for two people to live in a house that is too big, and cleaning is very troublesome." Said the young woman who has been severely beaten by society.

"Cleaning is not troublesome, just call a few from my house...well, we can hire someone again." The young man said halfway through compromise.

"My young master, please don't show off your wealth anymore. We are under the AA system, and half of the money needs to be paid by me. And this is the home of the two of us. Even when I'm not around, I don't want anyone else to show up I...cough, our family." The young woman said her fist was hardened.

The real estate agency is used to buying a house every day, and today's is one of them.

The man chooses a villa, and the woman chooses an apartment. The man said he didn’t like the feeling of being surrounded by strangers upstairs and downstairs plus the neighbors are all strangers, and the next floor and the opposite floor are very suitable for snipers. The woman said that the man’s nerves are too much Sensitive, they went out for a trip, and came back after a while, and compromised into a single-family two-story house.

Peerless: Do it!At that time, I will definitely exhaust you to death!

Shiba: ...

The house is finally determined, and the purchase of furniture is not in the same world line.

"Siba, please don't buy furniture that is more expensive than a house." I admire Xiba's tricky selection method that shattered my view of money.

"I'm willing to pay the full amount, can't I?" Xiba preemptively said, "If we break up, you can just throw it away. It's not your money, nor mine."

"...That's too wasteful!" It's really important to be well-matched.

"Peerless, don't just think about money, the most important thing is to have a good time, otherwise money is worthless and meaningless."

The economic base determines the superstructure, and the gold content of beating the enemy has almost reached the level where Shiba regards money as dirt. I really want to beat him up and let him experience the iron fist of the working people of the proletariat.

The compromise was that he bought the bed, sofa and rug, and I bought the rest.

After asking someone to clean the vacant room, the furniture will be moved one after another, and then tidy up, and other living matters will be settled, and people can live in it.

"Xiba, can you make money like this by killing people?" After finishing all the things in the new house, I lay on the sofa that was more expensive than the house. I had a dispirited look on money for several days.

Dry!I don't know if it is an illusion caused by money or self-comfort, but this sofa is really comfortable, and so is the bed.

Shiba didn't lie on the sofa, he stood and looked around the room.It should be the first time for him to personally take care of all the details of the entire house and create a private residence from scratch, so he is a little emotional?

Hearing my words, he moved his eyes to my face, "Yes. Do you need to take a tour?"

…It was kind of like a joke, but when it was like a joke, he was mostly telling the truth and he didn’t mind me visiting.

"No." I refused.What's the point of killing him?

"About making money, it's not just about killing people. We also have other industries." He offered to introduce, "They are all low-key, and not many people know about them. If you want, I can also tell you."

"Please don't tell me." The more you know, the faster you die.I made up my mind to break up with him after playing with him!

"En." He probably expected it, and didn't try to continue the topic about their family.

Doing it by myself these days, busy with all kinds of trivial matters in the new home, as well as engaging in tug-of-war with Shiba, grinding the concept of money, is really tiring.When the affairs of the new home finally came to an end, I relaxed and stopped talking, I fell asleep and couldn't keep my eyes open.

"Peerless, it won't be comfortable to sleep on the sofa." Shiba said.

"Well, no, it's very comfortable, such an expensive sofa." I closed my eyes.

"You're thinking about money again. Obviously you don't need money." Shiba hugged me horizontally, "Go to bed and sleep, the bed is more comfortable than the sofa."

"...I haven't showered yet, such an expensive bed." I muttered, "Can you let me sleep on the carpet, the carpet is also very soft."

"Peerless, carpets are also very expensive." Shiba reminded me.

"...You bought it all, you prodigal son, I don't want to support you anymore." I blamed him, and I blamed him more than once.

I know the structure of the new home very well. Even with my eyes closed, I can follow his steps and find that the path he is walking is not right. "What do you want to do?"

Let me sleep in a bathtub I bought myself?don't want!It's cold and hard!

"Didn't you say you haven't taken a bath yet? I'll help you take a bath."

"No." I opened my eyes and broke free from his arms.

"Then let's wash together? We haven't washed together for a long time." He said sincerely.

Every time he said something like this, he was always sincere, even serious, like a saint overlooking all living beings.

I would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe in a man's mouth, and see what he does.

We washed for a long time, I was very tired, I fell asleep first, and finally he carried me back to bed.

When I woke up in the morning, I found that someone was sleeping next to me. It was very... I don't know if it should be called novelty or horror.

As a child, sleeping in the same bed as someone who tormented me day and night was, of course, terrifying.

Later, I didn't let anyone stay in my bed overnight. As for Shiba, because he promised me to beat the enemy without telling me, he kept coming and going in a hurry, and left when he was done.

I may have a little bit of guilt for treating him as a tool man.

He said good morning to me.

I hugged him and buried my head in his chest.

After knowing each other for so long, he finally gave me a decent surprise recently, he gave me a mobile phone.Not the ultra-thin and light new-age phones, but the old-age phones that are bulky and thick as dictionaries, with antennas for sending and receiving signals.As mentioned earlier, the overall technology of this world is currently at the level of the real world in the 70s, and mobile phones (that is, "cell phones") have not yet been invented.

"!!!!!!!" When I opened the box, I was shocked.

Sheba can actually get an invention that the world hasn't made yet? !Is he Doraemon? !

"They call it 'cellular mobile phone', or 'mobile phone' for short." Shiba explained the items in the box, "FCC (World Communications Commission) has issued a license, and after the final cooperation process is completed, it should It can be officially put into commercial use.”

This "mobile phone" only has the function of making and receiving calls, and cannot send text messages, but it is already the most cutting-edge mobile phone technology in the world today.

"This...was this invented by your family?" Is Motorola the company opened by your family? !

"No. It's just that we will pay attention to technology and make some investments, so we can get it in advance." Xiba said, "Communication technology is very important in any industry, and information is life. Of course, we must pay attention to this aspect."

"..." I don't know what to say anymore.

Damn, I was born in poverty, my abilities are so limited, and I am completely different from the rich.

"I don't think there is anything more practical than this." Shiba asked me, "Do you like it, Peerless?"

Although reluctant to admit it, I nodded.

"That's good." He pushed the box into my arms, "You have never been willing to accept things from me. I am very happy, this is the first time you have accepted a gift from me."

"I, I, I, I didn't say I would accept it!"

"Peerless, let me tell you how to operate first." He held my finger and put it on the button of the mobile phone, "In the future, you can call me anytime, and I can call you anytime, without worrying about communication delays .”

Say no more!The sense of age is too heavy!The development of science and technology in this world is urgent!

The author has something to say:

This chapter is also called "Master Beating the Enemy, Please Stop Showing off Your Wealth"

Let’s beat the enemy joke: I’ll take you to visit Let’s Kill (I’m trying to show off killing skills to increase my favorability, and show her the amount of money after the mission is successful)

Peerless: ...you are enough
