Chapter 138 It doesn’t matter and it does matter
The night is sultry.
The moonlight outside the window filtered in through the glass window and reflected on the pink bunny doll beside the bed.
After lying on the bed for half an hour, the faint blush on Gion's face gradually faded.
She pushed her exhausted body up, sat up from the bed, and took off her navy cloak.
After a day of high-intensity training, coupled with the duel with Darren, she sweated a lot and made her skin feel a little greasy.
She likes to be clean and cannot accept going to bed without taking a shower.
Thinking of this, Gion remembered the scene of Darren carrying him back just now, and the way he looked at his toes carefully when he was taking off his shoes, and his face turned red.
"He shouldn't smell my sweat, right?"
With various thoughts running around in his mind, Gion dragged his heavy body to the bathroom and turned on the hot water valve in the bathtub.
suddenly.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
The sudden knock on the door startled Gion.
It's him who's back! ?
She suddenly panicked, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but her previous toughness disappeared without a trace, and she swooped into the bed again like a little rabbit.
"Ahem...Gion, it's me."
Officer He's voice sounded from outside the door.
Gion was stunned.
Is it Sister He?
Not that bastard! ?
While she breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of disappointment suddenly arose in her heart.
Thinking of what he had just done, his face turned slightly red.
"I'm here, Sister He."
Gion took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and shouted towards the door.
Counselor He pushed open the door and entered.
Looking at Gion who was sitting by the bed with bruises on his hands and feet, a flash of distress flashed deep in her eyes, she shook her head and said:
"Let me see you."
Gion was slightly startled and said with a smile:
"I'm fine, Sister He."
"You... are just tough-talking."
Staff Officer He pointed at Gion, walked over helplessly and amusedly, and sat down next to Gion.
"In the evening, I met Jiaji."
"The boy had a bruised face and a swollen nose, and his upper body was covered with bandages and plaster. When he saw me, he knelt on the ground with a bang, crying and moaning..."
She pinched her temples.
"Are you taking it out on him again?"
Gion pursed his lips and whispered:
"In fact, he wasn't injured much at first...it was just because he wanted to take advantage of me and touch my butt during training and sparring, so I was cruel."
Counselor He:...
"...Well played."
After being silent for a while, she slowly spoke out this sentence.
After a pause, Staff Officer He pondered and asked again:
"Then how did you get into trouble with Darren?"
Gion was shocked:
"How do you know..."
Staff Officer He said angrily:
"The way you held the knife at the door of Sengoku's office scared a lot of marines."
Gion's face turned red and he didn't dare to speak.
Seeing her look like this, Staff Officer He frowned and asked abruptly:
"Gion, tell your sister honestly if you like Darren..."
"——How could I like him!!"
Before Commander Tsuru could finish what he said, Gion reacted extremely and retorted angrily:
"He is lustful! He has poor living habits! He is frivolous, arrogant, and arrogant..."
Staff Officer He did not speak, but looked at the girl with loose hair in front of him with calm eyes.
"...He is the biggest scum in the history of our navy. I, I can't possibly like..."
Feeling the look in Commander Tsuru's eyes, Gion's voice gradually dropped.
When Staff Officer He saw her like this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
With her experience, she could naturally tell Gion's thoughts at a glance.
"It's fine if you don't like it."
Staff Officer He smiled and raised his hand to pat Gion's shoulder.
"Then it's okay, I just came to see you."
"Now that you are in good condition, I feel relieved."
She stood up slowly,
"Go to rest early Gion, don't be so impulsive next time."
"in addition……"
She pointed to the dusty military boot footprints on the wooden floor and smiled:
"Next time that kid comes in, remember to ask him to change his shoes."
Gion's face suddenly turned crimson.
She opened her mouth, but Staff Officer He waved his hand and interrupted her, smiling:
"It's okay, you've grown up too, I understand."
"Although that brat Darren doesn't have a very good character or personality, he's pretty good in other aspects."
"And at your age, bad boys do have a lot of appeal."
"If you really like him, you have to work hard."
"I've seen the girl that brat brought back from the new world. Although she is soft and weak, she is actually calmer and stronger than you."
"...I know, I know, I know you don't like him, I just said that."
Seeing that Gion was anxious again, Staff Officer He added helplessly.
"Have a good rest."
…………
In the bathroom, steam rises.
Gion soaked in the hot water in the bathtub, holding his curled-up knees with both hands, and his chest was squeezed into an exaggerated arc.
His head was buried in the bubble, and his fair face was flushed.
Gulu...Gulu...
Just like a fish blowing bubbles, she was in a daze and blowing bubbles in the water.
Although she continued to deny it on the surface, Sister He's words still lingered in her mind.
Could it be...that I really fell in love with that bastard?
But...how is this possible?
How could I like such a lecherous person?
Although she didn't say it, she could clearly feel that when Darren sent her back, the fingers holding her had obvious signs of slipping.
And the way he looked at his feet... although he hid it very well, looking back now, it was obvious that he was a little lustful.
"Gion, are you an idiot? You can't like such a bastard..."
Gion plunged into the hot water, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
When did it start?
Has your opinion of that guy changed?
Was he the one who conquered the power of Germa 66?
Was it him who helped him out in front of the Tianlong people?
…
If he really wanted to say that, Gion felt that it should be when he saw the father and daughter alive again.
"I'll do the work after I take the money."
Darren's low, indifferent, domineering, and extremely confident voice echoed in her mind again.
——He protected people who he could not protect.
It was at that moment that she realized how naive she was.
I...mistakenly blamed him.
She remained indifferent on the surface, but in fact from that day on, she secretly observed Darren.
During training, I would stand behind him.
Seeing him practicing so hard, even if he was exhausted, he would still have strength out of thin air and want to follow in his footsteps.
And in my heart, I will constantly recall all the details of getting along with Darren, arguing with him, and even confronting him in Beihai.
Then Gion discovered belatedly...
It turned out that he had been accommodating himself.
Silently and gently accommodating yourself.
As a result, her mind became confused.
She gradually became curious about Darren's past life experience, and even used the relationship between the Warring States general and Sister He to mobilize the archives.
Fight step by step from the bottom.
Struggle, scars, bloody battles, serious injuries, blood, fire...
The more Gion pursues, the more he discovers that Darren's past life was full of ups and downs.
Behind the infinite glory brought by the title "King of the North Sea", he carries all the heavy weight.
Political mediation, power struggle, life and death fight, money control...
Darren protects Beihai and practices justice in a way that only belongs to him.
Thinking of how difficult Darren's past life was, Gion's already guilty heart felt even more sour.
What shocked Gion even more, and even had to admire him,
For a Navy man like Darren who came from the lowest level and struggled to climb up, he should have been cautious and prudent.
But he didn't.
Even when facing the Celestial Dragons who control all the power in the world, he would kill them as soon as he said it.
Yes, although there is no definite evidence, Gion just trusts his intuition.
For his "justice", Darren doesn't even look down upon the Celestial Dragons.
In the end, after returning to the headquarters, Gion suddenly discovered...
In the past, my countless suitors, countless young talents with so-called privileged backgrounds, were nothing compared to Darren, a "scum".
Once a person has seen the dazzling sun, she can no longer be satisfied with the dim light of a candle.
When a woman feels curiosity, pity, and admiration for a man, good feelings will naturally follow.
Therefore, after knowing that something happened to him in the New World, Gion was very worried.
When she saw Tianyue at his home, she was angry and felt ashamed at the same time.
But thinking of Darren being injured, she still suppressed her anger and bought the freshest fruit to send back to him.
But……
"How could he say that about me!"
Gion was indignant.
After holding her breath for a long time, she finally raised her head from the hot water, opened her mouth, and gasped softly.
She leaned against the wall of the bathtub, looking at the misty ceiling, in a daze.
for a long time.
"Could it be...that my temper is really bad?"
She covered her face with her hands and murmured softly.
Gion's eyes suddenly became firm.
"It doesn't matter, I was here first."
————
Darren always thought that he was a free man. In the past, when he was in Beihai, no, even when he moved to the headquarters, he would basically stay out until very late before going back to that empty "home".
He doesn't love his family, he doesn't have many close friends, and he has been used to living alone for so many years.
But at this moment,
When Darren saw the lamp lit for him in the courtyard of his family members in the middle of the night, and the beautiful figure sitting in front of the oil lamp waiting quietly, even as indifferent as he was, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
A room, a lamp, a woman, a table of cold food...
Maybe this is what home means.
Darren felt warm in his heart, walked into the house, and apologized:
"Sorry, I'm late."
"You should eat first, you must be hungry, right?"
Tianyue Shi, who was wearing a slender pink kimono, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dusty Darren. He walked forward naturally, took the cloak he took off and hung it up. He smiled softly and said:
"It's okay, I'm not hungry."
"And I want to wait for you too."
Darren turned around to change his shoes and said:
"I will come back early in the future."
"Well, did you send her home safely?"
Darren's movements froze.
Tianyueshi smiled and said:
"You have her scent on you. It smells very good. It smells like roses. I remembered it when she came over in the morning."
The corners of Darren's mouth twitched.
Just as he was thinking about what to say, Tian Yue Shi's voice came from behind:
“I thought it would be ‘it doesn’t matter’, but in the end I found out that it still ‘does matter’.”
"Ah Shi..."
"Mr. Darren."
Darren turned away.
His pupils suddenly shrank and his mind went blank.
boom! !
A hot fire exploded in his brain.
He saw scenery that he would never forget in his lifetime.
The slender kimono was slowly untied and slid to the ground along her white and smooth skin, revealing her slender and graceful body.
Tianyue Shi raised his hand and took off his hairpin and stood there, looking at the confused young navy, his face slightly red with shame, but his eyes exuded a brave light, and he said softly:
"...Become my husband."
