Chapter 82
Furukawa Kumisa took a deep breath, slowly suppressed the shock in his heart, and spoke with some difficulty: "Shuichi, you don't have to do this."
At this point, she more or less understood that maybe there was some misunderstanding between the two of them, and maybe the truth was not what she thought.
She thought for a while, stood up, and walked to Akai Shuichi, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
She believes that Shuichi Akai's feelings - the favorability system explains everything.
She thought it might be time for her to learn the truth.
Akai Shuichi was silent for a long time, and just when Furukawa Kumisa thought he was about to speak, he saw him suddenly stand up.
Then, he hugged her.
Furukawa Kumisa subconsciously wanted to struggle, but was hugged tightly by him. She thought that Akai Shuichi was going to make the same mistake as last night. When she was about to take action, she found that Akai Shuichi was trembling.
——This man who is always calm and calm in the face of anything is trembling.
She realized belatedly that Akai Shuichi's hug was neither possessive nor coercive.
He just held him like this, as if he wanted to draw strength and warmth from her body - as if this was the only way to support him to finish telling the story.
Furukawa Kumisa sighed and stopped struggling.
Then Akai Shuichi began to talk about the truth of that year - the story buried in blood and death in the previous reincarnation.
Furukawa Kumisa listened to his slightly trembling voice telling the truth, and just froze in his arms.
Akai Shuichi finished telling the whole story and waited for a while, but when he saw that Furukawa Kumisa still didn't respond, he became even more uneasy.
"...I know this can't change the fact that I personally shot you, nor can it make up for the damage I caused you back then, but..."
He paused and said, "This is the truth."
Furukawa Kumisa still didn't move.
Akai Shuichi was worried, so he hugged her tighter and said softly: "Are you... okay?"
Furukawa Kumisa nodded, then shook his head: "I...I'm fine, I just have a little headache."
Akai Shuichi helped her sit down on the sofa, then put his arm behind her head and let her lean against him.
Furukawa Kumisa suddenly felt a little confused.
It turns out that I have hated the wrong person for so long.
But who do you have to hate for this?
Akai Shuichi? He just recognized the wrong person.
Belmod? She didn't mean to harm her.
Then who else can she hate? - She can't hate anyone.
So many perfect coincidences converged into this ridiculous tragedy.
She couldn't blame anyone else or herself. She could only hate this mysterious and erroneous fate.
She had spent so many years trying to hate, seek revenge, and suppress her emotions, but in the end it was just a joke.
Furukawa Kumisa finally understood Akai Shuichi's crazy state - he lowered his posture to the dust just to atone for her sins and for the ridiculous mistake that happened back then.
She even felt that it would be better for Akai Shuichi to admit that he was sorry for her and intended to kill her, so that she would be more happy.
In this way, she can hold his joys, sorrows, and joys in the palm of her hand with peace of mind, and treat him as a ruthless scoring machine.
The system understood what she was thinking, and he was silent for a while: "Host, you just have too high a sense of morality."
Furukawa Kumisa sneered: "Do you think I have a high sense of morality?"
"Then don't worry about the original truth. Treat Akai Shuichi as you should, and just treat him as a score-boosting machine."
Furukawa Kumisa stopped talking.
She couldn't - couldn't use such an attitude to hurt Shuichi Akai, who was also a victim of the incident that year.
If there is hatred, she can take revenge. If there is love, she can be confident.
But she has nothing for him.
She couldn't take advantage of someone who had no love or hatred like this.
She just felt a headache.
The moment Kumisa Furukawa reached out to rub her temples, two cold fingers replaced her hands and touched her forehead, kneading and soothing her.
Furukawa Kumisa was stunned and looked at Akai Shuichi next to him.
There was something unfamiliar to her in his green eyes, water-like tenderness, and he looked at her intently.
She immediately jumped up like an electric shock and ran away from his arms.
Akai Shuichi was stunned on the spot.
Furukawa Kumisa pursed her lips: "You... don't have to do this."
She didn't know what to say, so she just spoke instinctively: "I know you...but you don't have to do it to this extent...it's not that you're nice to me...but, for example, you don't have to do what you just said.
To such a humble level, I..."
At the end of her sentence, she didn't know what to say, so she could only stop talking.
Akai Shuichi understood her confusing words and sighed.
He reached out and took Furukawa Kumisa's hand, pulled her back into his arms, and hugged her gently.
"Do you think I'm humbly accommodating you?"
Furukawa Kumisa doesn't know what to say, isn't it?
"You may think that what I just said, including that I don't mind... is all because I want to keep you, so I will accommodate myself and humbly accept all your requests." Akai Shuichi's tone was very calm, "That's not the case.
"
He gently lifted Furukawa Kumisa's chin and asked her to look directly into his eyes.
"You may not believe it, but that's what I mean."
"I love you, I can accept everything about you, as long as you are by my side."
If possible, he certainly hopes that they will become a couple that everyone admires. There will be no lies or deception, no other people, just the two of them, living in the sunshine and staying together for the rest of their lives.
Instead of being torn and toyed by fate, it ended up becoming as fragmented as it is now.
But Shuichi Akai understood that this relationship was impure from the beginning.
From the moment he approached her with purpose, he lost the opportunity to stay in love with her - he had always been very clear about this.
"Our relationship started with lies and deception, so I will not be greedy for loyalty and eternity."
He held her in his arms, slowly lowered his head, and kissed her forehead.
It was a kiss without any lust, as if a believer was kissing a god, pious and sacred.
"If you are willing, it is a kindness to me, but if you are not willing..."
"I just hope there is a place for me in your heart."
It's not about making concessions, or about being accommodating - this is his sincerity.
Every second since he learned that she had come back from the dead was a happy time stolen from heaven, and he would not ask for anything else.
As long as she is alive, she is still willing to be close to him and accompany him, no matter in what capacity, he has no regrets.
Furukawa Kumisa understood what he said and what he meant.
She suddenly realized that she was saving others by herself.
Because she had once humbly pursued Akai Shuichi with impure intentions, she acquiesced that any time the other party put down his dignity was a forced accommodation.
He suddenly wanted to tell Akai Shuichi, this is not the case, and my feelings for you did not start out pure.
I am also using you, you are just a stepping stone on my way home.
Not just you, I have conquered many other people, and you are no different from them.
——You don’t have to do this.
I am the one who is despicable.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. She could only escape from his arms in embarrassment, escape from Kudo's house, and escape from this person who made her feel guilty and indebted.
Furukawa Kumisa was walking down the street a little lost. When the lanterns came on, the bustling street became lively.
She looked at the people coming and going on the street and suddenly said in a daze: "System, I don't want to gain Shuichi Akai's favor."
The system has followed her for five worlds and understands her character very well.
That is a fool who is so stubborn that he refuses to treat the world as a game and empathizes with every paper person.
She is feeling guilty.
She can face the other person's use and hatred, but she cannot face such selfless and pure love alone.
The cold electronic system finally added some human touch at this time, and its voice became softer: "Go home, take a shower and sleep, host."
She nodded, turned around and walked towards the main road, and then saw a familiar figure in front of her.
