Chapter 49 Her Secret
Chapter 49 Her Secret
"Edogawa said that you are a very strange person, and I think so too."
She spoke softly, as if she was talking to herself.
She felt this way when she first saw Qinghai Chuantang, when she was still Miyano Shiho.
He always has a bright smile on his face, as if he has the earth to support him even if the sky falls.
They would even come to play with me occasionally, and I would not be afraid of that group of men in black who would occasionally appear at home.
She thought that it was the harmonious and happy family of her parents that shaped the other person's personality.
After all, if your parents are around, it's like having a backer and giving you confidence.
However, one day Shiho accidentally discovered that she was alone like herself.
At least she won't be under surveillance. Shiho thought so, feeling somewhat envious.
But later, two people suddenly found her house, seemed to ask something at the door, and then left quickly.
At that moment Shiho suddenly realized that she was also under surveillance.
So, when Qinghai Chuantang came to play with her again, she secretly asked, "Do you know who those people are?"
"I know." Qing Hai Chuan Tang said with a smile: "The Japanese Public Security Bureau thinks I'm dangerous, so they always send people to 'protect' me and care about my situation."
"Actually, it's just surveillance. They won't do anything to you, so don't worry."
"Dangerous?" Shiho was a little confused.
"Well," Qinghai Chuantang hesitated, "This is my secret, so I can't tell you, sorry."
secret?
Shiho felt a little curious, but she held back and didn't ask any further questions.
Not long after, Qinghai Chuantang moved away.
There was no time to say goodbye, and she didn't even leave anything behind, it was as if she had never been there.
Only that house reminds me that there was indeed a person in the past.
"Edogawa said that you were from that organization, but I don't think so."
Because she did not feel the unique aura that belonged to the organization's members.
"The first time was on the Suzuki train, and the second time was in the orphanage. Why did you choose to save me?"
This was what had puzzled her all along, and she even desperately wanted the other party to answer her.
Seeing that the other party showed no sign of waking up, Huibara Ai lowered her head again.
"because."
Huibara Ai was shocked. Could it be that she had woken up?
Those words that I said before.
"This is the agreement between Mingmei and I."
The person on the bed finally slowly opened his eyes.
Haibara Ai's heart suddenly trembled. She had just mentioned a person's name, a name that she had hidden deep in her heart.
To make sure she hadn't heard it wrong, Huiyuan Ai looked at her, her voice trembling: "Who were you talking about just now?"
She couldn't help swallowing and suddenly felt much more nervous.
"Amei."
Qing Haichuantang said with a smile: "Miyano Akemi, your sister. This shouldn't be the first time we meet, Shiho. No, I should call you Huiyuan Ai now."
"in the end."
Huibara Ai opened her mouth to ask something.
Qinghai Chuantang raised his hand, made a gesture to silence, and said, "It's getting late, you should go back to bed early. I think the man named 'Doctor' has come to pick you up."
"There are some things that I can't tell you right now, but one thing I can tell you is that I have no ill will towards you."
After thinking for a while, Qinghai Chuantang added: "The same goes for that child."
At least, she had no reason to feel ill will towards them.
After all, there was no direct conflict between them, and no unnecessary misunderstandings arose because of anything.
So under such conditions, they can live in peace with each other.
"Can you trust me, then?"
"Trust is hard to come by. And trust is something that is too fake to just talk about. At least, it should be proven by actual actions."
"But it's better not to trust me."
That would be too dangerous.
She has a secret, a secret far more important than her own abilities.
Whether it was the Japanese Public Security Bureau or the FBI that he met when he went to the United States, they were all monitoring him because of his special abilities.
But fortunately, I got rid of it in the end.
So she learned her lesson, learned to restrain herself, and learned not to be dependent.
It’s just like using cheats in a game. After using it for a long time, it’s like being addicted to opium and it’s hard to get rid of it.
She would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary, especially when there were many people around.
And after that, you always need to replenish a lot of sugar to maintain the lost energy.
Haibara Ai glanced at her without saying anything more, and did not forget to close the door gently before leaving.
After a few minutes, Qinghai Chuantang propped himself up and sat up, pulled out the infusion needle in his hand, then got out of bed, put on his shoes, and prepared to leave.
Her life was not in danger at all, and she felt that her body had almost recovered.
Apart from the pain in the wound, there seemed to be nothing else wrong.
"Are you ready to leave just like that?"
The door suddenly opened, and a man stood at the door, looking at her expressionlessly: "I didn't expect that you have the unique skill of 'playing dead'."
He almost really thought so.
Qinghai Chuantang touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed.
"If you want to survive in the martial arts world, you naturally need to have some unique skills. And doing so can also reduce the consumption of physical energy."
She was talking nonsense in a serious manner, but it sounded reasonable.
"Let's go."
Subaru Okiya's glasses were reflecting light, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was a bit creepy.
"I have something I want to talk to you about slowly."
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last few words.
I always feel that this won't be a good thing.
She followed him nervously and came to the parking lot together.
This time, she did not go to the passenger seat, but prepared to sit in the back seat.
In fact, she had been forced to do this before.
After getting on the bus, I either sleep, read, or play video games.
To quote Shuichi Akai, "You sitting in the front is affecting my driving too much."
Only occasionally, he would still allow her to sit in the passenger seat, even though he sometimes had the urge to kick her out of the car.
But at least she is much cuter when she doesn't speak, and she won't say anything that would choke you to death.
"Sit in front."
Qinghai Chuantang paused, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to his request.
After getting in the car, Qinghai Chuantang fastened his seat belt and sat quietly, not daring to take out his cell phone.
Although she really wanted to do it, she hadn't logged into the game for a whole day and didn't know if her penguin had starved to death.
She was very nervous, waiting for the other party's sentencing.
After a long moment, Okiya Subaru said, "I didn't expect you had more than one emergency contact."
Qinghai Chuantang once mentioned to him, or rather showed off, the high-tech functions of his mobile phone.
For example, just quickly double-click the power button twice to send your current location coordinates to your emergency contact to let them know that you are in danger.
She once said that he was the only one.
"fraud."
In response to Okiya Subaru's evaluation, Qinghai Chuantang did not give a direct answer, but used a very vague statement.
"At least you are very important to me."
She understood that this was not what the other party wanted to say.
He also understood that if he revealed his true intentions, the other party would not choose to answer.
Sometimes the two of them are like this, with such a tacit understanding.
Although sometimes, some people hate this kind of tacit understanding.
For example, once, because the two of them were so in sync on something, Qinghai Chuantang excitedly suggested to him: "How about we become sworn brothers?"
To describe it with a word he learned from Qinghai Chuantang, it was "deserve to be beaten".
"How important is it?"
He followed up on her question.
Under normal circumstances, he would never ask such a question.
Qinghai Chuantang said solemnly: "I want it no matter how heavy it is."
Played word games with him again.
But this time, Subaru Okiya did not bother with her, perhaps because he considered that she was an injured person.
When they arrived at the destination, Qinghai Chuantang was about to say goodbye to him, but she didn't expect that the other party wanted to be with her.
She crossed her hands and covered her chest, staring at him nervously, and said weakly, "It's really not safe for a man and a woman to be in the same room at night."
"Someone still owes me a meal."
The four major human characteristics: pigeon spirit, lemon spirit, repeater and fragrance addict.
"I didn't mean it."
When she said this, she was not very confident. She tilted her head slightly and said, "You know, I have a bad memory."
In fact, they are all trivial matters, and he remembers them clearly.
Qinghai Chuantang knew that he was not in the right, so he finally opened the door and made a "please" gesture.
After closing the door, he continued, "I haven't had dinner yet. No, it should be supper at this time. What do you want to eat?"
"Noodles, with two eggs."
And there happened to be only three eggs left in the refrigerator.
Qinghai Chuantang loves to eat noodles. Based on his own research and what he has learned, he can write a book called “One Hundred Ways to Cook Noodles”.
This also means that the noodles she makes are much more delicious than the dishes she cooks.
A simple bowl of egg noodles smells fragrant and tastes light and delicious.
Even the soup is drinkable, with just the right amount of saltiness.
Subaru Okiya looked at the figure of someone busy in the kitchen and had an illusion in a trance.
Although this illusion is not the first time it has occurred.
If there is someone who thinks of you, misses you, cares about you, and takes care of you
When you return, you will not be faced with an empty room or cold furniture, but sometimes even warm meals are waiting for you.
Really, it’s hard not to be moved.
Her gentleness was never expressed openly.
Only when you discover it, you suddenly realize that she has always treated you gently.
She is not a calm person.
Friends, lovers, relatives. The more you get to know her, the more you understand the meaning of the phrase “people are complicated.”
It is indeed a special existence.
He couldn't help but smile faintly.
Qinghai Chuantang stopped and looked at him with a little dissatisfaction.
"I say, can't someone come and help me? I'm a patient now!"
She pouted, as if accusing him of his "crimes".
Subaru Okiya walked over and saw that the flour was already placed on the table and there was a small pasta machine next to it.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not a good person. No, I will teach you step by step."
Qinghai Chuantang was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood.
Use, or be used
