Heavy rain fell on the greenhouse outside the store and crackled.

"Really? The boss used to be an extrajudicial agent, and he has been abroad?"

"That's all a dusty past, many years have passed."

"Uncle, you are not old now, aren't you? I guess your adventure is just a walk outside and then sneaking back overnight."

"...No wonder Aiyijun refused to accept Rixiang. The uncle suddenly understood what Aiyijun was hesitating."

"Um...no, I'm just sarcastic in front of the uncle. I'm very gentle in front of Chi Yijun!"

"Lika said this, the uncle's heart hurt even more. I felt like I had treated you as my daughter in vain."

Under the dimly lit shop, the man sitting in his chest looked sad, as if he had suffered a heavy blow. Rika Inoue was siping ginger beer on the side, smiling like a flower, while Ji Changan and Ji Nuanshu were holding noodles and drinking soup in big mouthfuls.

Ji Changan put the bowl down, burped, and said curiously: "Have you really been abroad before? Do you mind talking about it?"

The boss rubbed his chin and sighed:

"It's very dangerous abroad, and wars are everywhere. Although they can only be considered small-scale fights and high-level combat power will not end in person, it is indeed not suitable for pacifists like us."

He touched the scar on the side of his face, pointed at the scar and laughed:

"This scar was left outside the country. Someone threatened that our real creatures in the four realms were all dwarfs. After hearing this, how could he bear it? He went to the door to block him without saying a word!"

"As a result, everyone was very happy. They both breathed a sigh of relief and added to the charm of men. After all, scars are a man's merit!"

The boss patted his chest boldly and said, "My wife chose to marry me because of my scar!"

Ji Changan was stunned when he heard it, and then heard Miss Inoue's quiet shattering sound.

"Uncle, we have known each other for the past few years, and I have never seen your wife. Are you really married?"

The boss blinked and suddenly asked, "Lixiang, this time [Gaotianyuan] is about to be turned on?"

"Hey, how did the uncle know?" Inoue Rika looked confused. Although this matter is not a secret, it is only circulated in the field of extrajudicials. Could it be that the uncle has not bragged over the years?

The boss continued, "Lika, if you have the chance, go inside and take a walk. Just take a broader horizon. In addition, there may be unexpected surprises."

Rika Inoue said distressedly: "But I don't have time recently. The department has many tasks and I have to receive Inspector Ki."

The boss nodded thoughtfully, then said with deep meaning:

"Then there is no need to force it. By the way, Rika, do you really like that brat Akaichikun? Why? Over the years, you should have met many men who are excellent enough to be your partner, right?"

Rika Inoue was stunned for a moment.

I didn't seem to have expected that the uncle's problem would be so jumpy, and I jumped from the other end to the unrelated end.

She looked up at the dim and unobtrusive lonely lamp on the roof, her eyes were lost and she murmured softly:

"Of course I like it... Why don't you like it? Aka Ichi-kun is half my life. Without Aka Ichi-kun, Rika Inoue is incomplete."

The boss scratched his head and said, "Why did he reach such a high level of life at halfway through life?"

Rika Inoue sighed, turned to a bright and bright smile and said softly:

"Because Akatsuki has been protecting me since she was a child. If Akatsuki didn't, I might not be able to live now. Maybe Rika Inoue was dead when she was ten years old."

The boss sighed sincerely:

"So it's such a deep bond? It's really enviable. I'm looking forward to the day when the bond between you breaks out. I think that scene will be extremely spectacular, right?"

The dim light reflected in Rika Inoue's eyes, she murmured softly, as if she was encouraging herself, and as if she had made an oath that could not be violated.

"Inoue Rika lives only for Aoki Aka in this life."

Ji Changan was speechless, gently stroked Xiao Nuanshu's hair, and thought of the same bright girl.

He didn't notice it at all, or everyone present didn't notice it at all. The little girl who kept sucking the ramen suddenly raised her head, and an emerald light that was even more dazzling than the sun was flashing through her pupils.

She tilted her head and looked at the woman holding her hands tightly in front of her. She looked confused. A trace of curiosity and confusion flashed in her eyes for the first time.

She stared at Rika Inoue for a long time before she lowered her head and retracted her gaze and picked up the glass of orange juice.

The store was silent for a moment, and the sound of heavy rain falling outside the store seemed more noisy, but it also highlighted the tranquility in the store.

The boss suddenly said, "Lika, it's getting late, so it's time for you to go back. By the way, this young man, do you mind taking a photo with me?"

The boss smiled embarrassedly: "I have the habit of taking photos with every new customer and collecting them."

"Planned photo? Well, that's OK."

The boss smiled and said, "Then please help Lika."

Rika Inoue wrinkled her nose and replied, "It's okay here, but uncle, why didn't you take a photo with me?"

"..." The boss called out and remedyed, "Because I knew at a glance that Lixiang, you would be my old customer!"

Rika Inoue looked at the uncle suspiciously, took the phone handed over by the uncle, and took a group photo of the three people and one mouse under his command.

At the strong request of the boss, Sadie, who was walking in a squirrel shape, was held in his arms by him.

In the photo, the boss smiles cheerfully, holding Sadi in one hand and Ji Changan's shoulder with the other. Ji Nuanshu stood obediently in front of Ji Changan with clear eyes.

At this time, the rain was getting lighter outside the store. The group opened the door and walked out of the store, preparing to return to the hotel.

Walking to the corner of the alley, Ji Changan looked back.

Deep in the dark and quiet alley, only a row of small lanterns hanging in front of the store shone warm yellow light.

And as they went away, the warm yellow light was hazy, as if it was gradually swallowed by this rainy night.

The world is dark.

...

When Ji Chang'an and his group left.

The only boss is left in the store. It is almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and the boss is about to open the business hours mentioned earlier.

"Cha—Hu—"

The boss lit the cigarette in his mouth and slowly exhaled a mouthful of clouds.

"Well, thank Xiaolixiang for her blessing, I got a good photo."

Under the dim light, the boss looked at a squirrel in the photo with a heart-warming feeling as if he was dead, and grinned.

The white sliding door was slowly opened, and it seemed that guests were coming.

A tall woman in luxurious clothes and a dull look stood outside the gate, but did not walk into the store. Behind her was a waiter in black holding an umbrella for her.

The boss looked up and smiled without surprise:

"Yeah, isn't this Kosai? Long time no see, why do you have time to visit me, the old man who hates gods and ghosts, today?"

Gen Sakai nipped his lips lightly, his eyes were quiet and complicated.

Although the person in front of him did not shed the blood of the Yuan family, if calculated by seniority, he is the old ancestor of the Yuan family now.

His wife is the 27th generation eldest daughter of the Yuan family and the eldest princess of the Japanese royal family three hundred years ago.

And he himself is the pillar of the Hidden Clan, the originator of these three hundred years!

"Why did you choose an ordinary person? Is it because of Rika Inoue?"

After a long silence, Gen Sakai stood at the door and asked softly.

The boss smiled happily and said, "Isn't it my freedom to choose who? Although Akaichikun is just an ordinary person for the time being, I think he will sooner or later shine like a star."

Gen Sakai frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Why, you choose the corresponding ordinary person and don't want to believe us?"

The boss smiled and said, "Believe in you? Kosai, since Sakurako's death, you have no longer deserved my trust. And the reason why I have been trapped here over the years is just because of Sakurako's last wish."

Gen Sakai said: "So even if the one from Daxia was rampant in Tokyo back then, you wouldn't want to help the royal family?"

The man who only stayed at about forty years old and seemed to be stagnating time and laughed heartily:

"Why do you have to take action? That boy Qingyun did what I had wanted to do back then!"

Gen Sakai sighed in his heart. The answer was not unexpected at all, just as his brother said.

"Then ancestor, who did you choose to help this time, or do you still not help each other as before?"

The boss smiled and said, "This is the real purpose of your trip, right? Kosakai, I can tell you directly that I am still not helping each other, although I am also looking forward to the day when the royal family is pulled down."

"I will abide by the agreement with Sakurako."

"But... if Akaichiktor survives from that place, then his will is not something I can interfere with. I respect all his decisions."

The sound of rain outside the house became more and more rapid. The rain that had been gradually getting smaller and smaller returned to its peak. It seemed that it was just a half-time break just now, and the second half began.

The blazing white lightning silently and winds across the night, leaving behind eye-catching traces that had not been dissipated for a long time, as if a god had split the sky.

A thunder broke out from the sky and fell into the world, exploding in my ears, followed by a silent blank.

The heavy rain tonight is destined not to stop.

The world is silent, only the wind and rain are heard.

Heaven and earth are in a dark and dark place.
