Previously, he had refused Furukawa Kumisa's medicine half-heartedly, but now he was sincere - if she pressed it with the strength of her hand, even if it was almost healed, it would cause serious injuries.

Furukawa Kumisa glared at him, and Matsuda Jinpei had to turn over reluctantly, exposing his back to her.

At the end, he muttered: "...be gentle."

Furukawa Kumisa looked at the bruises on his back when he was thrown by himself, but still couldn't reach down and hit him hard. After applying ointment on his fingertips, he gently pushed it away on his back.

But she said no mercy, "Do you know it hurts now?"

She has always known that Matsuda Jinpei has a bit of a careless personality, and often likes to take the wrong approach. Although he is not as unscrupulous as the police, he can still be regarded as an outlier in the well-behaved Metropolitan Police Department.

She had also given him a few words of advice back then - not because he was deviant, but because he often hurt himself when he wasn't paying attention, which made her quite critical of his methods.

But Matsuda Jinpei never cared. He would just smile and say, "It's just a minor injury," and then pester her to give him medicine.

She could only mutter "Let's see what you do when I'm not around" while carefully applying the medicine to him.

——Now she finally knows what Matsuda Jinpei did when she was away.

"I said, wouldn't you go to the infirmary and get some medicine yourself?"

The Metropolitan Police Department has its own infirmary and hospital, and minor injuries like this can be treated in two minutes.

Matsuda Jinpei listened to her familiar words and turned his head to look at her while lying down.

"It's really okay. I know my body well. If it hurts my muscles and bones, I won't drag it on, but these are just minor injuries..."

Furukawa Kumisa raised his head and glared at him, "If I didn't come today, would you have stopped talking?"

Matsuda Jinpei looked at her lowering her head and concentrating on applying medicine to herself, and suddenly raised the corners of her lips.

"But you're here."

Furukawa Kumisa paused with his fingertips and applied the medicine a little slower, "...You were injured by me, of course I have to come."

Matsuda Jinpei listened to her tone, and the smile on his lips deepened. Suddenly the topic changed, and there was an inexplicable distant feeling in his tone.

"I sometimes feel that you have changed a lot."

Furukawa Kumisa knew that his vest was almost gone in front of him, but he didn't restart his favorability level anyway, so he simply turned a deaf ear.

"Is this the reason why you keep rejecting me?" He asked, "Because you are not the same person now as you were before. Do you think we can't go back?"

Furukawa Kumisa pretended to be stupid and concentrated on giving him medicine.

"But I never think you've changed - you don't think I'm a superficial person who only cares about my face, do you?"

Furukawa Kumisa:...I'm just a medicine-applying machine without emotions.

Matsuda Jinpei saw that she didn't answer the conversation, and he didn't seem to mind. He just continued on his own: "...I apologize to you for what happened before."

Furukawa Kumi paused for a moment and finally met his gaze: "What?"

He lay on his arms and looked at her sideways, looking at this girl who had no resemblance to before, and he didn't know if he was trying to find the shadow of the past in her.

"Everything before... I was too impulsive and offended you."

Furukawa Kumisa came to his senses and realized that Matsuda Jinpei was talking about the forced kiss in the car.

She pursed her lips and didn't know how to answer.

"I always felt that we had so many beautiful pasts. We fell in love, held hands, and agreed to spend a lifetime together..."

Even now, when talking about the past, Matsuda Jinpei always has a nostalgic smile in his eyes.

"But in the blink of an eye, all this ceased to exist, all the memories and people disappeared, and I was the only one left where I was. So I kept trying to catch you, and I wanted us to go back to the past."

For a moment, Furukawa Kumisa wanted to stop him and prevent him from talking any more.

She couldn't imagine Matsuda Jinpei at that time. When she recalled all that, she found that she was the only one in the world who still had the memories of those years, that kind of absurd and powerless feeling.

This was not her intention, but she still let him suffer all these unreasonable disasters.

"But now I've figured it out."

He looked at her with a warm and serious smile in his eyes: "If you don't want to go back to the past, we can start over."

Matsuda Jinpei thought of the sharp way she talked at the table this evening.

That was not the way he remembered it, but it belonged to this moment, to the life that Furukawa Kumisa should have.

He realized more clearly than at that moment that she was a completely different person than before - no one would stay in the past, and clinging to the "before" itself was a ridiculous thing.

She has a new life, and time will not turn back on her.

It doesn't matter that Furukawa Kumisa is unwilling to admit his former identity or his past memories.

He can accompany her, follow her steps, start over with her, and create a new future together.

"Can I chase you again?"

In silence, Matsuda Jinpei waited for her answer.

Furukawa Kumisa just applied the medicine on his back step by step, then put down the ointment in his hand and looked into his eyes calmly.

"What if I say no?"

Matsuda Jinpei was not hurt by her words, he even thought about it seriously and then smiled.

"Well...then I might have to stalk you."

Furukawa Kumisa lowered his eyes.

She had always felt that Matsuda Jinpei was the easier one to deal with among these people.

He has always seemed to be a carefree type, but in fact he is a careful and sensitive type - as long as she refuses harshly, speaks without mercy, and does not give him any hope or room, she can one day persuade him to leave.

In fact, this was indeed the case before.

As long as she shows her ruthless side in front of him, he will retreat for a while... although it won't take long for him to come back.

But now Matsuda Jinpei has put aside all the hesitation and pain, and looks at this relationship with a new perspective and way.

He was still unwilling to give up and was even more motivated.

Furukawa Kumisa was helpless for a moment and sighed sincerely: "Is it too late for me to find a man to perform live sex in front of you?"

Matsuda Jinpei also laughed. I don’t know if he took her words seriously, but he smiled happily.

He wanted to turn over to face her, but Furukawa Kumisa held him down, "Don't move! The medicine hasn't been absorbed yet!"

He had no choice but to lie back and said, "Well... then why bother looking for something far away? Why not go to me directly?"

Furukawa Kumisa smiled "haha" and said, "The rabbit doesn't even eat the grass beside its nest."

Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows and teased her, "That's called the first to get the moon near the water."

Furukawa Kumisa twisted the ointment and threw it into his hand, "Twice in the morning and evening. Remember to apply the ointment on time."

"The injury to my back is inconvenient."

Furukawa Kumisa glared at him: "Then let Rei Fangtani help you."

Matsuda Jinpei:......

She walked to the table, took the pile of information she had just printed, and put it in front of him: "The agreed list of undercover police officers, as well as some information on cases committed by the organization."

Matsuda Jinpei took the thick pile of information, flipped through two pages, and once again expressed his admiration for Furukawa Kumisa's intelligence ability.

The two matters that Furukawa Kumisa came to see Matsuda Jinpei tonight were perfectly resolved, and there was no need to stay.

"You...just left like that?" Matsuda Jinpei's eyes moved from the information to her.

Furukawa Kumisa glanced back at him: "Otherwise? Stay here and perform a live | spring | palace with you?"

Matsuda Jinpei:......

It seems that in a short period of time, he still can't adapt to the current Furukawa Kumisa's straightforward and shameless style.

Furukawa Kumisa didn't know Matsuda Jinpei's current evaluation of him.

If she knew, she might have explained that this was just a bad way of showing off.

"Go to bed early, good night."

Furukawa Kumisa left Matsuda Jinpei's room and walked towards his own room, but when he reached out to hold his doorknob, he paused.

She sighed, stood outside the door and spoke.

"If I open the door and come in now, do you know that your face will come into direct contact with the door panel?"

Without entering the house, she could tell that there was someone "ambushing" in her room.
