Cold, shaking.
Yuanye woke up from his deep sleep.
The water temperature in the bathtub is still hot enough to be called scalding because the boiler with the chasing function has been operating faithfully, but the ice pack on the forehead has long since turned into a bag of warm water as time goes by. , pressed softly against the bridge of Yuanye's nose.
——Dream?
Taking the melted ice pack off the bridge of his nose and placing it on the edge of the bathtub, Yuanye slid completely into the bathtub, looking across the water at the chaotic ceiling lights that had become chaotic due to refraction, and thought so.
--probably.
With some luck, Yuan Ye made a rather hasty judgment on the scene in his memory.
——After all, Hoshino is not that aggressive person.
——But they are right, I am an indecisive scumbag.
——If you can’t even make a decision yourself, what qualifications do you have to ask them to choose me?
Yuanye took a deep breath, sat up suddenly from the bathtub, wiped off the water on his body, and came to the living room.
My body felt unusually relaxed, as if all the long-standing stress had been released.
Hoshino Shiori, who existed in the living room in the dream, had long since disappeared, leaving only a half-drunk glass of juice on the table.
The temperature of the juice has already risen, and a circle of water stains spread around the bottom of the glass, reminding you of the once ice-cold nature of this drink.
But Yuanye didn't care, or in other words, in his subconscious, he had not regarded Hoshino Shiori as an "outsider" for a long time.
So, in line with the principle of not wasting, plus the thirst caused by dehydration in the bath, Yuan Ye naturally picked up the remaining half cup of juice and drank it in one gulp, then walked to the sink and mixed it with unknown people. When the other glass that was placed in the sink was washed together, it was placed in the disinfection cabinet.
At this time, he discovered the note taped to the refrigerator.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it." Even though the girl certainly couldn't hear it, Yuanye still replied to himself.
After saying that, as if to confirm something, Yuanye reached out and touched his neck, but did not feel any scars.
——It is indeed a dream.
——But as the old saying goes..."Think about it every day and dream about it at night."
——I actually realized that Hoshino might really like me.
--what about me? As Hoshino said in the dream, I actually don't like her, am I just intoxicated by the illusion of "having a good-looking childhood sweetheart who likes me"?
Repeating the question asked by the girl in the dream, Yuanye confirmed his true thoughts.
——No, that's not right.
——I really like Hoshino Shiori.
——It’s not an illusion or fantasy, but a girl named Hoshino Shiori who exists there.
——But I still had that dream.
In silence, Yuan Ye's thoughts were surprisingly blank.
——Then just do what the dream means.
——Confirm Yagyu’s thoughts first, and then reject her properly.
——Finally, confess to Hoshino.
So, Yuan Ye opened his personal terminal.
But at this moment, a communication request appeared.
It was sent by the subordinate of the Black Dragon Society who was responsible for contacting him.
Yuan Ye hesitated for a moment and then connected the communication.
"Leader." A respectful voice came from the other end of the communication, "We will follow your instructions to trace the traces of the Yanling cultists in that abandoned building.
According to the news from the brothers who were watching in the abandoned building, a suspicious person returned to the scene many times and took away some soil from the Chimera's body, presumably hoping to obtain body tissue.
We have now tracked him into a building, but the fringe area is so crowded that we dare not take any further action, you see? "
The subordinate asked, Yuanye thought for a while and replied: "I understand, keep monitoring, report the situation to me at any time, send me the address, I will go there now."
"As ordered." The subordinate agreed and ended the communication.
"Can the matter be solved in one night?" After ending the communication, Yuan Ye murmured to himself, "Anyway, there is no point in delaying it any longer."
Sighing, Yuanye followed his original idea, opened the instant messaging software, found Yagyu Sakura's profile picture, clicked on it, edited a message and sent it to her.
............
"Are you free at noon tomorrow? I want to meet you and have something to say to you." Yagyu Sakura read out this sentence and gave a spicy comment without mercy, "Genya is indeed a person. He is a good person, but he also lacks common sense in some aspects and always says these things that can easily lead to misunderstanding."
"Maybe." Hoshino Shiori said noncommittally, "But I don't hate this, because Ye is such a person."
"Disgusting love-brained answer." Sakura Yagyu shut down her personal system and stood on top of the stairs at the station exit, looking down at Hoshino Shiori, "So, what's wrong with you looking for me so late?"
"Have a nighttime love talk."
"Haven't you done that kind of thing before? Do you need so much help from others to fall in love? I'm not your mother." Yagyu Sakura subconsciously complained a little irritably, but then she realized, "You have recovered your memory. ah."
"Rather than recovering, it's better to say that I always knew clearly what you were doing, Yagyu-san." Hoshino Shiori explained, "."
"Have you actually mastered this technology? It's amazing." Yagyu Sakura sighed calmly, as if everything happened within her expectation, "So, what does it mean to make things clear now?"
"Although I still don't know what Yagyu-san wants to do, I can still understand that you want Ye to practice this kind of visualization method to achieve the purpose of controlling him." Hoshino Shiori tore up the oil painting in his hand. , "I will never allow this kind of thing."
"He acts impulsively, like a child." Yagyu Sakura smiled, "You and him are the same in this regard."
"But, Genya must become an adult." Then, Yagyu Sakura said seriously, with a serious tone, like a priest announcing God's will, "The same goes for you, all children must become adults."
"Yagyu-san."
Abruptly, Hoshino Shiori called Yagyu Sakura by her surname.
"I don't know about children and adults. I like the current Ye very much and don't want him to change. He is good enough as he is now." Hoshino Shiori smiled and said with a little show off, "You know what? We just kissed."
"Eh?"
"'I like you', Ye confessed to me like this." Hoshino Shiori looked up at Yagyu Sakura and ordered like a winner, "Can you please stop pestering my boyfriend in the future?"
Facing Hoshino Shiori's question, Yagyu Sakura gave the answer without thinking about how to answer, because the answer came out before thinking.
"no."
