Chapter 138 It Doesn’t Matter and It Does Matter

The night is seductive.

The moonlight outside the window came in through the glass window, reflecting 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 propped up her exhausted body, sat up from the bed, and took off her navy cloak.

After a day of high-intensity training, coupled with the duel with Darren, a lot of sweat made her skin feel a little greasy.

She likes cleanliness and can't accept going to bed without taking a shower.

Thinking of this, Gion remembered the scene of Darren holding her back just now, and the look in his eyes when he took off his shoes and carefully looked at her toes, and her face flushed.

"He shouldn't smell my sweat, right?"

Various thoughts ran through her mind, Gion dragged her heavy body to the bathroom and turned on the hot water valve of the bathtub.

Suddenly.

Knock knock knock——

The sudden knock on the door startled Gion.

Is he back! ?

She suddenly panicked, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Her previous toughness disappeared without a trace, and she went back into bed like a little rabbit.

"Ahem... Gion, it's me."

The voice of the Crane Staff came from outside the door.

Gion was stunned.

Is it Sister Crane?

Not that bastard! ?

While she breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Thinking of her actions just now, her face flushed slightly.

"I'm here, Sister Crane."

Gion took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and shouted to the outside of the door.

The Crane Staff pushed the door open and walked in.

Looking at Gion, who was sitting on the bed with bruises on his hands and feet, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head and said:

"I came to see you."

Gion was slightly stunned, and smiled:

"I'm fine, Sister Tsuru."

"You... just talk tough."

Staff Officer Tsuru pointed at Gion, walked over with some helplessness and a little amusement, and sat down next to Gion.

"In the evening, I met Kake."

"The boy had a swollen 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 snap, crying and complaining..."

She pinched her temples.

"You're taking it out on him again, aren't you?"

Gion pursed his lips and whispered:

"He wasn't hurt at first... It was just that he wanted to take advantage of me and touched my butt during training, so I was ruthless."

Staff Officer Crane:...

"...You hit me well."

She was silent for a while, then slowly uttered this sentence.

After a pause, Staff Officer Crane pondered and asked again:

"Then how did you get into trouble with Darren?"

Gion was shocked:

"How did you know..."

Staff Officer Crane said unhappily:

"Your posture of holding a knife in front of the door of the Warring States Office scared a lot of navy."

Gion blushed and dared not speak.

When Staff Officer Crane saw her like this, he frowned and asked abruptly:

"Gion, tell me honestly, do you like Darren..."

"——How could I like him!!"

Before Staff Officer Crane finished speaking, Gion reacted greatly and angrily retorted:

"He is lustful! His living habits are bad! He is frivolous, arrogant, and arrogant..."

Staff Officer Crane did not speak, but looked at the girl with scattered hair in front of him with a calm look.

"...He is the biggest scum in the history of our navy. I, I can't like him..."

Feeling Staff Officer Crane's eyes, Gion's voice gradually lowered.

When Staff Officer Crane saw her like this, he couldn't help but sighed deeply in his heart.

With her experience, she naturally saw Gion's thoughts at a glance.

"It's good that you don't like him."

Staff Officer Crane smiled and raised his hand to pat Gion's shoulder.

"Then it's nothing, I just came to see you."

"Now you look good, I feel relieved."

She slowly stood up,

"Go to bed early, Gion, don't be so impulsive next time."

"Also..."

She pointed to the dusty military boots on the wooden floor and smiled:

"Next time when that kid comes in, remember to ask him to change his shoes."

Gion's face flushed.

She opened her mouth, but the Crane Staff Officer waved his hand to interrupt her and said with a smile:

"It's okay, you've grown up, I understand."

"Although Darren's character and personality are not very good, he is 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 the stinky boy brought back from the New World. Although she is 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 getting angry again, the Crane Staff Officer added helplessly.

"Have a good rest."

…………

In the bathroom, steam rose.

Gion soaked in the hot water in the bathtub, hugging his curled knees with both hands, and his chest was squeezed into an exaggerated arc.

His head was buried in the bubbles, and his fair face was flushed.

Gululu... Gululu...

Like a fish blowing bubbles, she was lost in thought, blowing bubbles in the water.

Although she kept denying it on the surface, Sister He's words kept lingering in her heart.

Could it be... that she really fell in love with that bastard?

But... how could it be possible?

How could she possibly like such a lecher?

Although she didn't say it, she could clearly feel that when Darren sent her back, his fingers holding her clearly showed signs of sliding.

And the look in his eyes when he looked at her feet... Although he hid it well, now thinking back, it was obviously a bit lustful.

"Gion, are you an idiot? You can't like a bastard like that..."

Gion plunged into the hot water, with mixed feelings in his heart.

When did it start?

Did her perception of that guy change?

Was it because he conquered Germa 66 alone?

Was it because he helped her out in front of the Celestial Dragons?

...

If she really had to say, Gion felt that it should be when she saw the father and daughter alive again.

"I will do the job if I get the money."

Darren's low, indifferent, domineering and extremely confident voice echoed in her mind again.

——He protected the people he could not protect.

It was at that moment that she realized how naive she was.

She... had wronged him.

She remained indifferent on the surface, but in fact, from that day on, she secretly observed Darren.

During training, she would stand behind him.

Watching him practice so hard, even if she was exhausted, she would generate strength out of thin air and want to follow his footsteps.

And in her heart, she would constantly recall the details of getting along with Darren, arguing with him, and even going against him in the North Sea.

Then Gion realized belatedly...

It turned out that he had been accommodating herself.

Silently and gently accommodating herself.

So, her mind became confused from then on.

She gradually became curious about Darren's past life experience, and even used the relationship between the Warring States General and Sister Crane to mobilize the files.

Fighting step by step from the bottom.

Struggle, scars, bloody battles, serious injuries, blood, fire...

The more Gion pursued, the more he found that Darren's past life was so ups and downs.

Behind the infinite glory brought by the title of "King of the North Sea", he carried all the heavy things.

Political mediation, power struggle, life-and-death fight, money control...

Darren used a way that belonged only to him to protect the North Sea and practice justice.

When Gion thought of Darren's past life was so difficult, his already guilty heart felt more and more sour.

What shocked Gion even more and even made him admire was that

For a navy like Darren who came from the bottom and struggled to climb up, he should have been cautious and prudent.

But he didn't.

Even when facing the Celestial Dragons who controlled all the power in the world, he killed them.

Yes, although there was no definite evidence, Gion just believed in his intuition.

Darren didn't even take the Celestial Dragons into consideration for his "justice".

In the end, after returning to the headquarters, Gion suddenly found out...

The countless suitors in the past, countless young talents with so-called good family backgrounds, were nothing compared to Darren, a "scum".

When a person has seen the brilliance of the sun, she can no longer be satisfied with the weak light of a candle.

When a woman has feelings of curiosity, pity, and admiration for a man, good feelings will naturally follow.

So, after knowing that he had an accident in the New World, Gion was also very worried.

Seeing Tianyueshi in his home, she felt angry and ashamed at the same time.

But thinking of Darren being injured, she still suppressed her anger and went to buy the freshest fruit and sent it back to him.

But...

"How can he say that to 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 panted softly.

She leaned against the wall of the bathtub, staring at the misty ceiling, in a daze.

For a long time.

"Could it be... Is my temper really that bad?"

She covered her face with her hands and whispered softly.

Gion's eyes suddenly became firm.

"It's okay, I was here first."

————

Darren always thought he was a free person. When he was in Beihai before, no, even when he moved to the headquarters, he would basically stay out until very late before going back to the empty "home".

He is not homesick, and he doesn't have many friends to confide in. He has been used to being alone for so many years.

But at this moment,

When Darren saw the lamp lit for himself in the family compound in the middle of the night, and the figure sitting in front of the oil lamp waiting quietly, even a cold person like him couldn't help but be moved.

A room, a lamp, a woman, a table of cold food...

Perhaps this is the meaning of home.

Darren's heart warmed, he walked into the house and apologized:

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

"You should eat first, you must be hungry?"

Tian Yueshi, who was wearing a long pink kimono, slowly opened her eyes, looked at Darren who was exhausted, walked forward naturally, took the cloak he took off and hung it up, and smiled gently:

"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."
