The next day, in the evening, a traditional Japanese restaurant in Rice Flower Town.

In the dining room, on a seat not far from the door.

Shiho Miyano is meeting her sister Akemi Miyano.

Under the strict control of the organization, she and her sister can only see each other once a week, and they must be monitored and accompanied when they meet.

Therefore, although it is a joy to see my sister, this feeling of unfreedom like a prisoner going out to let off steam, still keeps Miyano Shiho in his throat.

And this meeting made her feel complicated.

Because the person who accompanied her this time was changed, and it was replaced by Yamada, a subordinate of Lin Shinichi.

The usual meeting place has also changed, and it is no longer the Western restaurant that Lin Xinyi used to accompany her every time.

About that person, as well as those memories with him, seem to be slowly erased in this changed life.

Miyano Shiho knew that the organization was deliberately cutting off, trying to gradually cut off her connection with Lin Shinichi.

"Shiho, what are you thinking?"

Looking at her sister's cheeks that had quietly become gloomy, Akemi Miyano, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but be a little concerned.

"Nothing." Shiho Miyano came to his senses.

"Are you thinking about that Mr. Lin Xinyi?"

A narrow smile appeared at the corner of Miyano Akemi's mouth.

"Huh?" was suddenly told the central matter, and Shiho Miyano was a little unable to react: "You, how do you know?" ”

"Hmm... No, not at all. ”

Realizing that she had blurted out her true thoughts, she blushed and covered her mouth in embarrassment.

This normal change in expression like an ordinary girl, she will only show it in front of her sister.

But even Akemi Miyano rarely sees this kind of youthfulness that is completely in line with her age from the face of her younger sister, who is a young precocious sister.

"Looks like I guessed right..."

"Still, there's basically no guessing."

Akemi Miyano sighed softly, and her smile became more and more playful:

"Shiho, don't you realize it yourself?"

"Since you met me today, all you have talked to me about is about that Mr. Lin Xinyi."

"I..." Shiho Miyano was slightly stunned:

Indeed, she seems to have been unconsciously chatting with her sister about Lin Xinyi.

It's just that it doesn't seem to be able to be helped.

Because my sister wants to know about her living situation, and her life...

In addition to developing drugs from morning to night, he only teased pet mice in private, and occasionally met and interacted with Lin Xinyi.

Pet ownership has been talked about many times ago.

If you don't talk about Lin Xinyi, do you want her to talk to her sister about drug research and development?

"That doesn't mean much... I just don't have anything else to talk about. ”

Shiho Miyano took a sip of tea, quickly suppressing the emotion that she couldn't explain.

"That guy is nothing more than a thug under Gin's command."

"He doesn't know where he's killing right now... I wouldn't like this kind of bastard. ”

She said this to herself, her expression becoming more and more indifferent.

And Akemi Miyano's expression was very strange:

"Shiho, don't you know?"

"Lin Xinyi, he... Now I have gone to the Metropolitan Police Department as a management officer of the Identification Division. ”

"Huh?" Shiho Miyano almost didn't squirt out the tea he had just sipped in.

But she still relied on her strong concentration to maintain her cold image, making her expression not so surprised and exaggerated:

"He? Metropolitan Police Department Administrator? Are you kidding? ”

It's like hearing that a mouse is a bridesmaid for a cat, and Miss Shiho thinks the world is a little crazy.

But after the shock, with her rational mind, she quickly reacted:

"Wait... Lin Xinyi, this is sent by the organization..."

"Be an undercover agent." Akemi Miyano nodded earnestly.

"Gin also gave me a gag order to keep my mouth shut."

"If Lin Xinyi's identity is revealed, he will solve me as soon as possible."

"After all, there aren't too many people in the organization who know Lin Xinyi's small role, and I... Happens to be the restless one. ”

Speaking such dangerous words, Akemi Miyano seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of death threat, and her expression did not change at all.

She lightly took the topic away from herself, squeezing out a meaningful smile:

"Shiho."

"Your humble suitor seems to have become a reliable man."

"If he protects you in the organization, I can rest assured, sister."

As she spoke, Akemi Miyano looked at her watch:

The meeting was almost over.

She took her bag, stood up, and said to Shiho Miyano:

"Shiho, see you next week."

"Regarding Lin Xinyi, I hope you can listen to my sister's advice-"

"In a word, as long as you feel it in your heart, don't miss it!"

Then, after saying goodbye simply, Akemi Miyano left directly with her bag.

"Sister..."Miyano Shiho's gaze was very complicated.

Akemi's strange emotion of being anxious to entrust her to her made her feel more and more a bad premonition.

She knew that her sister was being sent on a very dangerous mission by the Order.

Looking at her sister's performance as if she was entrusting the future, desperate to find a reliable man for her sister, Miyano Shiho knew that her sister herself was probably vaguely aware of the danger.

But what about being aware?

As pawns of the organization, they can't do anything.

“......”

Shiho Miyano sat alone in his seat, sipping the slightly bitter tea, and his heart was very upset.

It's like being locked up in an airtight iron house, making it difficult to breathe, but there is no way out.

"Miss Miyano, would you like to sit down a little longer?"

Yamada, the black-clothed "jailer" who was watching her from the side, suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Shiho Miyano was slightly stunned:

She originally thought that Yamada was here to urge her to hurry back to the laboratory, but she didn't expect that this "jailer" who was guarding her would take the initiative to give her extra time to let go?

"Boss Lin explained before, let me accept the job, try to take care of your requirements."

"If you want to sit a little longer, I can give you 20 minutes."

Under Miyano Shiho's puzzled gaze, Yamada told the cause and effect.

"That's right..."

"yes, he seems to have told me about it..."

A trace of waves quietly appeared in Miyano Shiho's silent gaze.

Hearing Lin Shinichi from Yamada's mouth and what he had done for himself, her troubled mood somehow became soothed.

Maybe... It's this feeling of being silently cared for, it's too luxurious and too warm for her.

"Lin Xinyi."

Shiho Miyano pronounced the name very seriously in his heart.

She thought of what her sister had just taught her - as long as you feel it, don't miss it.

"Do I really have feelings for him?"

This genius science girl finally encountered a problem that she couldn't solve by herself:

She didn't know how to be sure if she was really in love.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, let alone love, Shiho Miyano has not had much contact with men of the same age.

She had been educated and trained in the organization until she went to university.

After going to college, although there are often male classmates who are attracted by her beauty, take the initiative to approach her, and even confess.

But every time this kind of thing happens, Lin Xinyi, who is in charge of monitoring her, will appear in time and drive away all those who try to get close to her on the grounds that "the organization requires her not to have too much contact with outsiders".

"Wait..."

Recalling his love history as clean as a blank piece of paper, Shiho Miyano suddenly realized something:

"That bastard can't be a fake public... Use this reason to get rid of my rival in love, so that I can only contact him, right? ”

"He—Has he been thinking about doing it to me since then?"

Shiho Miyano's mood was extremely delicate.

To be honest, if this is true, Lin Xinyi's behavior is not an exaggeration to describe it as "perverted".

But just like a delicacy like pork belly dumplings will be treated as a dark dish in some places, there can be two reactions to the same thing in the eyes of different people.

At this moment, I recall Lin Xinyi's terrible behavior of blocking her social interaction and depriving her of freedom when she was in college...

Shiho Miyano not only didn't feel angry, but also faintly felt...

Having fun?

"I wouldn't be angry when I think about these things..."

"No... Do I really have feelings for him? ”

There is no quantitative standard for such a thing as love, it cannot be detected and identified, and it is difficult to analyze scientifically.

Shiho Miyano has a headache, she's not good at studying this kind of thing.

"Just call him to my office next time and talk to me again."

"At that time, I can monitor my heart rate and breathing in real time with an electrocardiogram machine, and I can also extract blood samples before, during and after chatting to detect changes in the concentration of dopamine and norepinephrine in my blood."

"In that case, you should be able to confirm my intentions."

She thought about it, and actually came up with a somewhat unbelievable solution.

But there is a problem with this approach in the first place:

"That guy hasn't been coming to the lab lately."

"He's now an undercover agent sent to the police by the organization, and in the future... I guess I will completely dissociate myself from people like me who can't see the light. ”

Shiho Miyano frowned tightly, and his mood suddenly darkened:

What's the use of all that little thought about it just now?

Even if you really feel it, you can't change the cruel reality.

Lin Xinyi, the only man who could make her care a little, was about to disappear from her world completely.

"He's not coming back."

Shiho Miyano sighed softly, and there was a kind of letting go in the sigh.

And at this moment...

As if it was an illusion brought about by longing, she vaguely felt that she had heard Lin Xinyi's voice.

The sound was coming from outside the restaurant door, and it was getting closer and closer.

"It's him! Is he really here?! ”

Shiho Miyano realized that Lin Shinichi was really here.

He knew that I was here to meet my sister today, so he came to meet me?

Could it be that Yamada took the initiative to give me more time to be alone... Is it also Lin Xinyi's prior arrangement?

He wanted to appear unexpectedly like this, what surprise did he have in store for me?

At this moment, this talented girl with an active mind made up a lot of brains.

Then, when the voice was near, Shiho Miyano heard it clearly:

"Miss Maori, watch out for the threshold."

I saw Lin Xinyi push open the door and walk in with a beautiful high school girl.

Shiho Miyano: "????"
