Chapter 72(2/2)
"...I remember that you don't like sweets either, right?"
Miyano Shiho heard Natafi mention more than once that he had conflicting tastes with her boyfriend, saying that after being with him, she could only eat light and bitter things like an ascetic.
Miyano Shiho rolled his eyes: "Then you all have what you want, don't accommodate him like that."
The other party said confidently: "No, I will eat whatever he eats!"
Miyano Shiho:...Is this your love brain? Excuse me.
Thinking of this, she looked at Akai Shuichi across the table, and saw that he took out a spoon and stirred the tea in the cup twice. The fragrance of flowers overflowed, and his cold and hard face seemed to soften a bit.
"...In the future, I will get used to her."
Miyano Shiho was slightly startled.
She saw a slight curve on her face that had always been unsmiling: "She has accommodated me for too long. I will make up for it in the future."
--he knows.
Akai Shuichi knew that Natafi had always been accommodating him.
He even knew that he had never fulfilled the obligations of a competent boyfriend.
...He knows it all.
Miyano Shiho looked at Akai Shuichi across from him and pursed his lips slightly.
In fact, the relationship between the two people, at least in the eyes of others like her, has never been equal.
It was always Natafe who was chasing Akai Shuichi from behind, and his occasional pause to look back was enough to make her happy for a long time.
Before that, she had been looking forward to the day when Natafi would wake up from fatigue.
She hopes that Natafi will wake up and realize that in a healthy relationship, both parties should be equal and harmonious.
Instead of Akai Shuichi's always a little indifferent to her, he even seemed no better than he treated other colleagues.
But looking at Akai Shuichi at this moment, Miyano Shiho couldn't understand even more. He spoke a little stiffly, even in a questioning and reproachful tone.
"No matter how much you do behind the scenes, it's not as good as treating her openly."
Akai Shuichi paused slightly while holding the teacup, put the teacup down, raised his eyes and looked directly at Miyano Shiho, his tone was a bit more serious.
"You are still learning, Shiho, but one day you will graduate, officially join the organization, and become part of this huge darkness."
Because of Natafi, Shuichi Akai and Miyano Shiho have always treated him as a close junior, and there was a hint of warning in his tone.
"The first rule of living in the dark is to never make the things you care about public."
His eyes moved slightly, with a more profound meaning: "This is to protect myself, and even more to protect her."
Akai Shuichi is not ready to take her away the moment he is exposed. There is too much resistance between them. Maybe she will stay in this organization for a long time after he leaves.
During this time gap, she must be clean with him continuously - compared to "getting along with an undercover agent for many years", for her, "she clung to the undercover agent passionately but never received positive feedback"
"This result will be much safer than the former.
Of course, this was already the lesser of two choices. His primary goal was to take her away with him.
But if he couldn't succeed, or even he couldn't escape unscathed... he would at least leave her with a way out within his power.
