Chapter 57 Gin doesn't want to go back to February 1th at all
Chapter 57 Gin doesn't want to think about February 2th at all
Before Conan came along, we all knew that time waits for no one.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
Gin opened his eyes as usual and glanced at the wall clock and calendar:
1991年2月14日，06:17AM。
The annual Valentine's Day is here.
However, due to the nature of his work (dan), Gin's focus is mainly on "chastity" rather than "lover".
As long as there is a day with the word "festival" in its name, it basically means that it is a holiday.
Of course, Gin is just sensitive to the timing of holidays and knows that he will have no vacation during the active period of the action members.
Gin walked out of the lounge, intending to check today's task schedule, but he was surprised as soon as he walked out:
Why did Vodka get up so early today?
Vodka had no idea when he had already been working hard in his seat.
The nature of his job is similar to Gin's, and is also mainly focused on overall planning. The tasks assigned to Vodka basically do not require him to personally take part.
After all, Gin still needs him when he goes out (referring to driving)...
"Brother, you're up so early?" Vodka turned around when he heard the noise, and greeted him with a silly smile.
Gin didn't say anything. He walked silently behind Vodka and patted his shoulder. "Are you up all night?"
Even with sunglasses on, he could see a dark circle underneath...
Vodka smiled awkwardly: "Yeah... I couldn't sleep last night, so I helped you complete some of your tasks, from 2D14 to 2D15..."
"...?"
A question mark slowly appeared on Gin's forehead, "Have you finished what you have done in the past two days? No problems at all?"
He was not only surprised at Vodka's efficiency, but also surprised that Vodka came back alive... No, he could actually see Vodka standing in front of him alive.
"Hehe, the main reason is that the targets of your mission were very cowardly, so nothing happened."
Vodka heard the doubt in his eldest brother's words and scratched his face a little embarrassedly.
Gin: "..."
He was shocked to find that he had two extra days off for no reason after a good night's sleep.
I still remember that he cheated Lai (Akai Shuichi) in the first half of the month, and the unfortunate kid hasn't recovered yet.
A few days ago, when Gin was on a mission with him, the other party almost fell asleep while driving...
So that day's mission became Gin's job to drive the car, and Akai Shuichi slept in his car for the whole day.
It made Gin feel a little guilty.
But if there is another chance, Gin will still choose to exploit this guy.
"Blame the world if you want to blame someone." Gin silently threw the blame on himself to the world.
However, Gin still has a question——
"Don't you usually organize information when you can't sleep? Why did you go out to do the organization's mission last night?"
The sharp scrutiny made Vodka stunned for a moment, and then he lowered his head very dejectedly and said:
"Actually, my girlfriend broke up with me..."
Gin suddenly realized that his younger brother was hurt by love.
He patted Vodka comfortingly: "It's okay, as the saying goes, out with the old comes the new... No, no, what did you just say?"
Gin suddenly stopped his action, picked his ears, and looked at Vodka in shock.
"When did you get a girlfriend?"
"...I have always had one." Vodka looked at his eldest brother blankly, "In fact, we were together when we were in college, but I haven't met her since I became a core member."
"..."
Gin covered his chest in disbelief, his expression was grief-stricken, and his voice was hoarse: "Traitor!"
As a 70-year-old grandfather, he couldn't stand this injustice.
We agreed to be single together, but you were secretly dating behind my back!
Vodka: "???"
It’s over, my brother seems to have become ill due to the stimulation...what should I do?
Gin felt as if he had suffered a blow from 100,000 volts, and the muscles on his face were trembling slightly.
"Sure enough, I must adopt one when I get the chance!"
So what if he has a partner? When he has a child... Humph!
Thinking of this, Gin felt a lot better.
After his mentality returned to normal, he looked at the company's schedule again and found that Shirley was also on holiday today. Gin snapped his fingers: Great, one less job to do.
"Let me see today's intelligence..."
Vodka can do the errands, but he can't do the job of organizing intelligence.
……
After organizing the materials, writing the report, and considering the tasks for the next period of time, the hour hand of the wall clock soon pointed to 10 o'clock.
"Drip drip drip"
The ringing of the cell phone interrupted Gin's thoughts.
Gin's eyes were still fixed on the computer, so he picked it up and answered the call: "Who?"
“It’s me, Rye.” The voice on the other end was very recognizable. “Gin, I’m sorry about what happened the day before yesterday…”
"It's nothing, this is normal." Gin answered calmly.
This guy stayed up all night at least five days out of ten, so it's not surprising that he fell asleep while standing.
Hearing this, Akai Shuichi on the other end: "..."
He was very curious about how Gin had managed to survive under such heavy task pressure.
Seeing that he remained silent, Gin urged him, "Okay, if you want to talk, just say it. I'm busy."
"...Ah, it's like this. I've already completed all the tasks for today, so I want to go see my girlfriend. If there are any urgent tasks, I hope you can not assign them to me."
Akai Shuichi said this sincerely.
But it was another stab in Gin's fragile heart.
There was no expression on his weathered face: "No more?"
"Gone."
beep~
……
When Akai Shuichi heard the other party hang up, he was stunned.
Why does he feel that Gin is a little bit bad-tempered today?
"Forget it, let's go see Mingmei first..."
……
Gin angrily threw his phone on the table and read the information even more diligently.
I don’t report to him on normal days, but I chose today to tell him that I was going to see my girlfriend... I guess I did it on purpose!
Look, look... When did he schedule a mission for this guy when he was meeting Miyano Akemi? Wasn't it just once or twice?
Are you deliberately showing it on his face?
To be honest, he almost wanted to tell Akai Shuichi: Your girlfriend is your cousin.
But Gin finally held back...
After all, this kind of thing is more appropriate for parents to deal with, and there is no need for him to get involved.
……
In the afternoon, Vodka received an email from 'teacher'.
He told Gin about this excitedly.
This also reminded Gin of something: "Speaking of which, why hasn't this guy 'Mirror' contacted me?"
He thought about it, asked Vodka to block the surveillance signal, and called someone.
"Jing, you haven't come to Japan yet?"
"No, I was here at this time two years ago. What's the matter?"
Gin heard some chopping sounds coming from his end, which sounded like someone was cooking. The only thing that remained unchanged was the other person's slightly leaky voice.
His eyelids twitched, "Why don't you tell me something?"
"No need. You don't need my help for the time being."
The other party said confidently, "Is there anything wrong? No, I still have to cook for my wife and children. I'm hanging up."
Gin: "..."
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Gin gritted his teeth and tore off the big Valentine's Day sign on the 14th on the calendar.
He's had enough dog food today!
Ahem… Let’s treat this chapter as a Valentine’s Day special, right?
I said I wrote this chapter on Valentine's Day last month...
Do you believe it? |ω｀)
