Goto Hirakawa did not try to talk to Kuroki Jin along the way. Although he had never seen Kuroki or knew Kuroki, the only way to get to the top floor was to swipe the organization identity card, which was relatively advanced.
Only members can come directly without reporting.
Goto has no intention of building a relationship. Researchers like them may stay in this research institute for the rest of their lives, and there is no need for outsiders to transfer personnel. Compared with having a good relationship with Kuroki Jin, he is not as good as
Let’s get two more data to please Team Leader Shirley.
Goto took Kuroki Jin directly underground. After exiting the elevator, he turned right and the second room was the laboratory. Goto knocked politely and opened the door and went in.
"Team leader, the data you want."
"Put it there." Shirley didn't look back at all, her hands kept moving, looking very busy.
"There is one more thing, team leader." Goto put down the data sheet, "There is someone looking for you."
"Missing."
Kuroki Ren, who was standing at the door, looked moved.
Goto glanced at Kuroki Jin awkwardly, and then whispered: "He is already here."
"Who..." Shirley turned around impatiently, frowned slightly when she saw it was Kuroki Ren, and then turned to face the experimental table. "I'm busy. If there's nothing important..."
"There's something wrong." Kuroki Jin interrupted her, and then motioned Goto to go out with his eyes, while he walked in and closed the door.
The room suddenly became quiet. Kuroki Ren, who was dressed in black, stood very conspicuously in this white space, but his eyes were only fixed on Shirley, who was wearing a white coat and seemed to blend into the space.
Shirley just turned her back to him, and the quiet atmosphere in the room also showed that she was not actually operating anything, but was unwilling to turn around for some unknown reason.
"Well, I just suddenly remembered..." Kuroki Ren tried his best to smile, even though Shirley, whose back was turned to him, couldn't see him. He walked slowly towards Shirley, who was standing in the center, and he didn't take more than two steps.
See her gradually stiffening body.
Kuroki turned around helplessly and went to the sink nearby to get a bottle of mineral water. He unscrewed it and placed it on the corner of the workbench facing Shirley.
"Your voice sounded a little hoarse just now. Drink some water."
Shirley didn't move, and after a while she said, "You're not so free as to come over here and twist a bottle cap for me."
Kuroki didn't care at all about the tone of her words, and said with an unchanging smile: "I brought two pieces of candy from home. Maybe you like to eat them." He took out the candy from his pocket.
Colorful candies were lying on the palm of Kuroki Ren's hand. Shirley turned around and looked at the candies. At this moment, she was actually thinking that children would definitely like them.
It's a pity that she is no longer a child.
"I don't eat sweets."
Kuroki Ren's eyes were dim, and the hand that was originally raised gradually curled down. After thinking about it, he still didn't take the candy away, but placed it next to the mineral water.
"I think you haven't eaten since you came back. It would be good to add some sugar." He tried hard to supplement.
"Well, thank you." Shirley said lightly.
Kuroki Ren felt that her thank you was much more distant than that in the afternoon.
He didn't like this kind of alienation, so he said as if he was trying to defend himself but didn't know why he was trying to defend himself: "I forgot to tell you something when we left in the afternoon." Kuroki Ren paused and said, "That"
"I already know."
Before he finished speaking, Shirley interrupted.
"I already know that Gin is here, is there anything else?"
"...," Kuroki Ren shook his head, "No more."
The room fell into silence again. Shirley didn't know when Kuroki Ren left. When she came to her senses, she was already holding the candy he had put down in her hands.
Tear open the package and put the candy into your mouth. The sweetness stimulates the taste buds and gradually spreads to the entire mouth.
Children will definitely like it. She thought again, then spit the candy back into the wrapping paper and threw it into the trash can together.
It's a pity, it's too sweet.
Kuroki Jin sat in the car depressed, with the wine bottle still placed on the passenger seat, but he was no longer in the mood to think about Gin.
I don’t know why I feel so depressed...
Then he thought with annoyance that he should have just ignored Shirley's attitude and explained clearly what he was about to explain. Doesn't this unclear departure confirm his guilty conscience?
He didn’t do anything! Why was he so guilty just now?!
The more he thought about it, the more depressed Kuroki Ren got. He started immediately, the car sped out, and went straight to the fighting arena.
Even if he was beaten, he would vent his anger today.
……
Gin looked at Kuroki Jin who was lying on the ground gasping for breath in surprise, and asked the vodka who handed him a drink with his eyes: Is this guy okay?
Vodka smiled naively, took back the glass and exited the fighting arena.
"Again... again." Kuroki Ren struggled to get up from the ground, his arms shaking so much that he almost fell back to the ground.
Gin silently withdrew the hand she subconsciously held, beating him until he was so hot that he took off the coat he had been wearing all year round, and the hat on his blond hair had long been thrown off the stage.
"Are you okay?" Gin couldn't help but ask worriedly. He always felt that he should call the doctor over now to give Kuroki Jin a good look.
"Very good." Kuroki Ren licked his chapped lips, and was too lazy to go down to find water, so he just got into a fighting stance.
"No fight." Gin stood up and walked out of the fighting ring, took a bottle of mineral water from the cabinet and threw it to Kuroki Jin.
The mineral water made a sound when it fell on the ground. Kuroki glanced at his right hand that was not catching it. He suddenly felt tired and sat on the ground.
Gin dragged Vodka in who had already hid outside the door, took away the bottle of wine and wine glass that Kuroki Ren bought in his hand, poured himself a glass and sat on the sofa under the stage.
After Kuroki Ren's condition improved a little, he drank some water and walked off the stage to sit next to him, then Gin said, "There's something wrong with you today."
Kuroki Ren pursed his lips, remembering the embarrassing scene just now, and ruffled his hair in frustration.
"You smell of disinfectant. Have you just been to the scientific research department?" Gin guessed.
"Didn't I stay in r018 in the morning?" Kuroki Ren didn't want him to guess.
"But you went back to the candy house in the afternoon. Normally, the sweet smell on your body would be stronger." Gin drank the wine slowly, "But the smell of disinfectant on your body is stronger, so before you come to my place, you go
Enter the scientific research department or hospital."
"Is it Shirley's research institute?"
Kuroki Ren stopped talking.
"Ha." Gin sneered, "It seems she didn't come to me, but instead turned all her anger on you."
"Huh?" Heimuren raised his head, a little surprised, "She didn't come to see you?"
Gin didn't answer, but his expression said everything: Does she have the courage?
Kuroki Ren curled his lips and lowered his head again.
However, Gin put down his glass, stood up and said, "Your injury is not healed yet, so you should do less exercise." After saying that, he left the fighting arena.
Kuroki Jin: You obviously asked me to come to the fighting ring to be beaten, right?
