Chapter 18 Shopping, chance encounter
The summer days are long, and when Miyano Shibo walks out of the laboratory building for the first time in a long time, the sun in the sky is still blazing and brilliant.
She just walked out into the sunshine outside the building, taking slow and slow steps, and quietly merged into the bustling crowd.
What I saw along the way were just ordinary city street scenes:
Cars, crowds, high-rise buildings, densely packed signboards, full of hustle and bustle.
But this made Miyano Shiho feel a rare sense of relaxation.
Unlike the cold and monotonous laboratory, walking in the sunshine with these ordinary people gave her a feeling of freedom.
Unfortunately, this feeling of freedom is ultimately a dream.
"Why do you always walk behind me?"
Miyano Shiho stopped, put his hands in his pockets, and turned around with a frozen face.
Lin Xinyi: ""
Nonsense, if I don't follow you, how will I know which way to go?
He thought for a moment and quickly gave a reasonable answer based on his status as a "personal bodyguard":
"Walking behind will ensure that you are in my sight."
"This will better protect your safety."
Miyano Shiho stopped talking.
Vaguely, there was a layer of lingering gloom on her face:
Better protect my safety?
It probably means that when you find yourself intending to escape, you can quickly take out the Beretta M92F, which is the same model as gin, and give her a 9mm copper-shell peanut from behind, right?
Oh, think about it carefully
Being pointed at a gun from behind all the time, isn't this something she should have gotten used to a long time ago?
Why show these unnecessary emotions to Lin Xinyi? He is just a gun in someone else's hand.
Thinking of this, Miyano Shiho couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile:
Speaking of which, this guy just said such ambiguous words to her in the office
Will that feeling be true?
If true, that's really sad.
Because the gun doesn't need to have feelings, let alone feelings for her, the prey.
Killing intention and love must be placed in the same person. Lin Xinyi may be more complex, more humane, and more like a tragedy than the one she knew before.
"well"
Miyano Shiho sighed softly and looked at Lin Xinyi with eyes full of pity:
From another perspective, if Lin Xinyi is not simply regarded as a surveillance tool sent by the organization, but as a person who has the same problem as himself, then he is much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Of course, if it's pleasing to the eye, it's completely out of the question to have a favorable impression.
Thinking of this, Miyano Shiho immediately restrained his emotions, fearing that Lin Xinyi would notice his quietly changing attitude——
Since you don't like it and there is no possibility for both parties, you must not show any good looks and let the man have any illusion of "I have a chance."
This is not ruthless, but an act of responsibility.
However, Miyano Shiho clearly overestimated Lin Shinichi’s mind-reading ability:
“Sometimes I’m dissatisfied, then I’m laughing, sometimes I’m sighing, and sometimes I’m cold again.”
"What on earth is this woman thinking?!"
Lin Xinyi was confused:
Miss Miyano's psychological activities were so rich that he could not imagine them at all.
Sure enough, compared with this elusive opposite sex, it is easier to guess the thoughts of the dead.
And Miyano Shiho's expression quickly returned to normal, that is, the iceberg beauty with a bit of frailty.
But she didn't move on directly. Instead, she covered her mouth reservedly and yawned restrainedly.
Wiping away the tired tears seeping from the corners of her eyes, she finally said to Lin Xinyi with a hint of weariness:
"Give me some money and I'll buy some coffee from the vending machine over there."
Um, this young lady didn’t bring any money?
Lin Xinyi feels a little heartbroken when he hears about money now.
After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly opened his wallet and took out a 500 yen coin from it.
I don’t know if the company will reimburse me for this extra expense.
"Not enough." Miss Miyano spread her hands and robbed online.
"Not enough?" Lin Xinyi has been to a convenience store. He knows that 500 yen is definitely enough to buy bottled coffee, even higher-grade coffee.
"I don't just drink one bottle." She covered her mouth and yawned again.
Lin Xinyi pondered for a moment and said very seriously: "Drinking so much coffee is not good for your health."
This is really not that he is stingy, but that he is making suggestions objectively.
Excessive fatigue and excessive caffeine intake may lead to the risk of sudden death.
Since he graduated from medical school, he has not practiced cardiopulmonary resuscitation very much, so his technique is not skillful and accidents are prone to happen.
"oh?"
Miyano Shiho's eyes became a little subtle:
This guy actually says such things about caring about other people's health?
It seems that I really didn’t know much about him before.
What Lin Xinyi said in the office before was most likely true.
Thinking back, Lin Xin's eyes seemed a little weird when he looked at her in the past. It's just that she never thought about it at that time, so she completely ignored it.
Now Lin Xinyi may have finally made up his mind to take the initiative, so he began to change his style and slowly showed his concern for her.
But does this make sense?
Don't say I don't like you, even if I do
Given our current situation, talking about relationships and health is too much of a luxury.
"So what if it's not good for your health?"
Miyano Shiho pondered for a moment, and finally gave Lin Xinyi a cold face:
"We're all just corpses pretending to be alive anyway."
"Maybe you'll be lucky if you die earlier."
Speaking such cold lines, Miyano Shiho unceremoniously stretched out her fair and slender fingers and snatched a precious 500 yen coin from Lin Xinyi's wallet.
"Well" Lin Xinyi's expression froze, a little heartbroken.
Moreover, he now understands what Yamada meant when he said, "This woman always speaks in a weird way."
He has a cold personality, a weird temper, and a sinister speech, making him very difficult to get along with.
Could it be that the original owner was forced to commit suicide by her?
Lin Xinyi even had such a ridiculous idea in his heart.
"Forget it, after all, it's a job worth 890,000 yuan a month."
"What does this little thing mean? Just get used to it."
Stopping the murmurings in his heart, Lin Xinyi reviewed some unfamiliar cardiopulmonary resuscitation actions in his mind while accompanying the troubled Miss Miyano to buy the extra coffee she wanted.
The two of them walked side by side to the vending machine on the roadside.
This vending machine is placed across the road from a department store, so there is naturally a lot of traffic.
When Lin Xinyi and Miyano Shiho came here, there were already two people queuing in front.
They were two high school students in blue uniforms, a boy and a girl.
They were facing Lin Xinyi, side by side, in front of the vending machine, talking and laughing while choosing drinks.
Soon, one of the boys put in coins and bought a can of ice Coke.
Then, while the girl he was traveling with was carefully choosing a drink in front of the vending machine, he suddenly played a prank without any malicious intent and stuck the cold Coke can on the girl's face unexpectedly.
"Yeah!" The female high school student let out a delicate cry due to the air-conditioning.
The boy, on the other hand, smiled lightly without any malice while immersed in admiring the girl's shy and angry look.
“I learned nothing”
"It turns out that this is how young people fall in love these days."
Lin Xinyi was thoughtful:
He spent all his time practicing martial arts and studying. He had never exercised in this area, so he had to eat more dog food to supplement his strength.
It just so happened that he changed jobs in this life and had time to fall in love.
Now that I have time and experience, I have learned that iced Coke is better to buy, but I need a girlfriend.
Um, I don’t know how it happened
Speaking of his girlfriend, he suddenly thought of Miss Miyano whom he had just "harassed".
But this thought was instantly erased as soon as it came up.
"Forget it, if it's her"
The corners of Lin Xinyi's mouth twitched slightly:
A normal girl will show a very interesting expression of embarrassment when her boyfriend drinks Coca-Cola.
But if you play this way with Miss Miyano, assuming there is a chance
She would definitely take the Coke and drink it expressionlessly, and then use her cold eyes to ask her soul "Are you a child?"
It's so unlovable.
Lin Xinyi shook his head, driving away those strange and uninvited thoughts from his mind.
After these distracting thoughts disappeared, his attention quickly returned to reality.
Then he quickly noticed
The high school couple in front of them, who had just fed themselves a lot of dog food, looked familiar from behind.
Especially that girl
"Is this?" Lin Xinyi called tentatively to the female high school student in front of him: "Miss Mao Lilan?"
"Huh?" The female high school student turned back in surprise.
"Mr. Lin Xinyi, is that you?"
It was really her, Mao Lilan whom she had just met in the morning.
Speaking of which, Lin Xinyi was not so familiar with this female high school student whom he had just met by chance that he could recognize her at a glance from her back.
Not to mention, Mao Lilan had changed her clothes. The blue high school student uniform was very different from the white practice uniform she wore in the morning.
I was able to recognize it so quickly this time mainly because
Standing behind Miss Mao Lilan
You can also see the corners.
"Ha ha"
Lin Xinyi politely did not express his inner thoughts:
"It turns out it's really you two."
"I almost didn't recognize it."
