Sawada Tsunayoshi was in a trance for a long time.
Not only because of the words I just heard, but also because of the strange feeling that has been bothering me since I don’t know when. It is like a ball of thread wrapped around the heart, and it needs a suitable entry point.
To completely unravel the entire thread.
Sawada Tsunayoshi has never experienced such a feeling, but now, he seems to have a different kind of perception, as if there is only one step away from the truth.
What exactly is it?
After thinking about it, he felt his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the wine glass on the table and brought it to his mouth.
While Sawada Tsunayoshi was lost in thought, Vongola's people were well aware of their leader's cooking skills and had already arranged a table full of dinner and then exited the villa.
Now Sawada Tsunayoshi and Watanabeji were sitting at the dining table, enjoying dinner together.
I don’t know about Ms. Terahaya... Sawada Tsunayoshi diverted his attention from his thoughts and gave it to the girl across the table.
It didn't matter if he didn't look at it, but he was shocked when he saw it. Now the special assistant lady was already lying on the table with a blush on her face, and there was an empty wine bottle dangling in her hand!
When did she drink so much?!
When was the last time you got drunk?
Watanabe Temple had already thought hard about this problem.
She seemed to have trouble remembering it, but she remembered that her only best friend gave her a painful lesson after that.
"You, it's better not to get drunk in front of others." Her best friend looked at her with her hands on her hips with a headache, "If you must drink, then just drink a little secretly at home. You don't know when you are drunk.
How troublesome it is, Temple morning!"
Watanabeji really couldn't remember it for a long time. She was the type who would completely forget everything that happened after she got drunk. Naturally, she couldn't remember what kind of trouble she had caused to her friends.
But after that, she tried her best to avoid drinking, let alone getting drunk in front of others.
Maybe I was really scared today, myself.
Watanabeji had long recalled the things she had seen - that was the real side of the dark world, the mafia in the TV series, the Sopranos, even if it could be described in detail, it was far from being experienced in person.
People are impressed.
Watanabeji could still recall the rust-smelling moisture in the dark basement. This smell would seep into the nasal cavity with every breath, no matter how much her master resisted.
She remembered that before she was taken to see Director Kondo the next day, she accidentally saw crazy scratches on the wall, with crimson dots of blood...
She even remembered the amputated finger she found while groping in the corner of the room!
At that time, Watanabe Temple was so frightened that he screamed, and then he wiped his hands with the hem of his skirt again and again. Even though his palms were red, swollen and painful, he still couldn't forget the weird softness when he touched the cross-section of the skin.
Touch.
That is cold human skin, something that is impossible to come into contact with in daily life!
"The Mafia is a group of cunning, insidious and terrifying organizations that only know how to fight violently!" This is what Watanabeji said to Nana when she was watching social news. Although she spoke so powerfully at that time,
But he still far underestimated the vicious underground world.
Until she was rescued, she stayed in her own little corner and curled up hard, not daring to take another step anywhere.
Watanabe Temple has long been an ordinary person. At most, she has mastered some superpowers that are different from ordinary people. At most, she is a little more materialistic and considers a little more than others, but this does not mean that she is not an ordinary person.
And when ordinary people face the real mafia...
She will be scared!!!
The air mixed with the smell of blood, the scratches left by unknown people on the wall, the finger that was groped in the dark, all these things have long been beyond the tolerance of an ordinary person like Watanabe Temple Haya.
Is this the Mafia? Is this the cruel and terrifying fangs of the underground organization?
[Fortunately, she was rescued.] She breathed a sigh of relief.
After realizing that he had escaped from danger, as the feeling of "being saved" flooded into his heart, countless fears were like maggots on the tarsal bones, clinging to Watanabe Temple's fragile nerves.
She can't live in peace.
What if Mr. Sawada didn't come to save her in time? What if he didn't find the basement where he was? What if the Kondo organization had a crazed and direct killing style???
Driven by such fear, Watanabe Temple had already seen the red wine placed beside the dining table, and hesitantly stretched out his hand...
Alcohol seems to help people relax, right?
"Mr. Sawada..."
Just when Sawada Tsunayoshi discovered that the special assistant was drunk at some point, he suddenly heard her murmuring voice.
"I'm here." He slowly relaxed the muscles in his back and leaned his back on the chair.
Watanabe Temple had already raised her head from the table. She was a little uncomfortable with the change in perspective at first, and then her blank sight suddenly focused on something.
She looked at the handsome young man with brown hair in front of her as if looking at a life-saving straw, as if she saw a god descending from the sky, dispelling all the darkness in her heart.
"Miss Terahaya, what's wrong?" Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the girl worriedly.
"Mr. Sawada... maybe you don't know, no, you don't know many things." The girl's eyelashes were long and thick, and when she lowered her eyes, it seemed to cast a shadow on her face.
Her eyelashes were like butterflies, trembling desperately as if their tentacles were strangled.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was confused: "I don't know?"
"Yes, you don't know. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have joined the Clam Company at all." The girl suddenly raised her head, and her pure green eyes suddenly met Sawada Tsunayoshi's. "What if?
If it weren't for you, even the position of special assistant would be meaningless!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned. This was the first time he heard about this from the special assistant. According to her, wasn't the interview the first time they met?
Emotionally, he didn't want to ask any questions about the girl who had just escaped from the shadows, but his status as the tenth generation of Vongola, who held great power and might encounter spies and assassinations every day in Italy, did not allow him to do so.
"How did Ms. Terahaya know about me?" There was no flaw in his expression, but the gentle smile on his lips softened. "Why do you say you came to Clam to apply for a job because of me?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't want to doubt anything, but the saying of telling the truth after drinking has always been very reasonable. Could it be...
He stared closely at the girl in front of him.
She was obviously drunk, and there were two blushes on her fair face, which looked smoky under the light. Her two emerald-like eyes were slightly misty, like treasures stained with water mist.
Sawada Tsunayoshi knew that now was the best time to hear the true words of the special assistant.
"Hmm...how do you know Mr. Sawada?" Watanabeji felt that she was a little drunk. She thought hard for a while before replying slowly: "I saw it on the street."
The brown-haired leader was startled.
Watanabe Temple had already held her face, feeling that her cheeks were a little hot, so she frowned and moved her hand away, then held it back. Repeatedly, this awkward feeling made her feel like a child
He pouted his lips in dissatisfaction.
"At that time, Mr. Sawada had just gotten off the car. He was as handsome as a shining golden lion in the sun. I saw you at a glance."
As she spoke, she seemed to recall the scene at that time, instantly forgetting the little trouble she had just had, and laughed silly.
"The first time I saw Mr. Sawada, I couldn't move my feet at that time. I just wanted to find a way to get to know you, get close to you, and stand by your side!"
"Because of this, I submitted my resume to Clam Company, and I was lucky enough to be recruited by you. This must be the luckiest thing in my life!"
Watanabe Temple's voice was a little shaky, but no one could deny the sincerity in her words, not even the professionally trained leader, not even the invincible super intuitive sense.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was completely stunned. It was because he could feel the sincere and passionate emotions of the girl opposite him that he didn't know how to reply to her at all.
Special assistant lady...
Did she fall in love with him at first sight?
Mr. Judaime, who has almost no experience in relationships, blushed instantly, and even the roots of his ears were slightly flushed. Even he wanted to scold him for being sentimental, but what he just heard was like this no matter how he thought about it.
mean.
Sawada Tsunayoshi sat on the sofa in a panic, and couldn't help but think of what his mother once said to him -
["Xiao Gang, you should seize the opportunity. If you don't know what to do, just ask your heart."]
His heart?
[Can you be a little less reliable in front of me?]
["There is no such thing! Mr. Sawada will not give up compassion for the weak because of his own strength. Mr. Sawada is actually a very, very gentle person, right?"]
This feeling is...
The cup of coffee missing from the table when the girl asked for leave, the heartbeat that was too fast during the lottery at the mall, the earrings that she wanted to give away no matter what.
His reaction when he saw the light was still on, his unhesitating promise of "protection", and his shock, anger and anxiety after discovering that she was implicated by him.
This feeling is...
["I can't move away, I just want to find a way to get to know you, get close to you, and stand by your side..."] The girl's sincere words just now echoed in Sawada Tsunayoshi's ears.
["I like you, Mr. Sawada."]
Sawada Tsunayoshi's dark brown eyes suddenly widened, looking at the drunk and giggling girl over there in disbelief, and then hesitantly stretched out his hand and placed it on his heart——
Bang bang.
Bang bang bang.
The heartbeat, which is many times faster than usual, seems to be announcing the failure of its owner - don't deny it, this is how you feel.
This feeling is...
It turns out, do I like the special assistant lady?
The confusion in Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes faded away, and his eyes became clear.
After discovering this, all the contradictions and abnormal moments in the past have reasonable explanations.
The brown-haired young man looked gently at Watanabe Temple Haya, who had returned to his humming mode, with a knowing smile on his lips.
It turns out that I like the special assistant lady.
