The library of Columbia University was very quiet, and the two men in black, who should have been inseparable, did not choose to follow Shiho Miyano, but stood guard at the two doors of the library one after the other.

In the past six years, the two men in black also knew that Miyano would not make any outrageous moves, after all, the sister she cared about the most was still in the hands of the organization, and if she wanted to escape... But it was Akemi Miyano who suffered.

Shiho Miyano, who is "very well-behaved" in the eyes of the organization, wears a white coat that does not fit her figure, and today she is going to look up books on cell death and mitochondria, and in about a month she will graduate from here and return to the research institute in Tokyo to conduct experiments on APTX4869.

I finally found the book I was looking for in the library with a collection of 8.7 million books, but I couldn't reach it due to my height.

Shiho Miyano frowned and struggled inwardly, should he go to the rescue of those two pesky watchers, or go find the small bench himself?

Just as Miyano was thinking, she smelled a faint scent of soap, a fresh, clean and warm feeling. She turned around to see the tall brunette boy standing behind her, his white hand over his head and removing the book she wanted.

It was the boy sitting near him in the cafeteria, and he was quite impressed because of his outstanding appearance.

“Thank you.”

Feeling that the book in his hand was being grabbed by a force, Ritsu Sasashima slowly looked down at Shiho Miyano, whose little hand was already on the side of the book, and said in an indifferent tone: "Little friend, I'''m afraid you made a mistake. ）”

“？”

Misunderstand? What does this man mean?

Sensing the confusion in Miyano's eyes, Ritsu Sasashima pulled the book out of her hand with a little bit of strength and said, "It'''s not for you. It''''s a book I need myself instead, bye. ）”

Looking at the back of the black-haired boy leaving with the books he wanted, Miyano Shiho kicked the bookshelf as if he was relieved, but fortunately, his strength was small enough not to cause a few injuries.

"I didn't expect to meet such a nasty ghost... It's really not gentlemanly. (`へ´*)ノ”

I have to say that Shiho Miyano's luck is really not good today, it just so happens that there are only two books in the library that he wants, and the other one was borrowed two weeks ago and has not been returned.

When she is in a bad mood and wants to eat sweets, Shiho Miyano also specially ate a blueberry cheesecake before going to the school laboratory, and when she came to the shared laboratory, there were already people inside.

When... Would researchers with jet lag show up in the lab so early?

When the man in the white coat turned around, Shiho Miyano only felt that he might have committed a water rebellion today... Otherwise, why would there be him everywhere he goes?

Even though she was admitted to college at a young age with a super high IQ and was about to graduate, she was still a child mentally and would have a childish side.

As if hiding from the plague, Shiho Miyano bypassed Sasashima's location, stood on a laboratory table in the innermost part, and instead of choosing an experiment, he took out a chemistry-related book and read it.

The environment here is quieter than the library, and the temperature is more suitable for her to read.

Ritsu Sasashima naturally noticed her small actions, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, it seems that this member of the organization is not the heinous type.

Thinking of what was written on the document, she was the descendant of a very important scientific researcher in the organization, and he wanted to use her to enter the organization while protecting her.

Why protect, I can only ask what the man behind the screen thinks... Maybe what she's going to study will be useful to the National Police Agency.

Shiho Miyano found it difficult to calm down today, mainly because of the nasty ghost who was doing experiments but made noises from time to time.

I borrowed a book but didn't read a page, so I don't know what I'm messing with.

"37 times."

“？”

Was he talking to himself? Shiho Miyano, who has already been amorous once, frowned, probably he was talking to himself there, he was really weird.

"From the time you came in to the time you sat down, you watched me 37 times."

Ritsu Sasashima took off the goggles used for the experiment, walked to Miyano's side with long legs, and looked directly at the girl in front of him who was less than one and a half meters long, and said slowly: "You who made such a move are either plotting against the results of my experiment, or you are trying to treat my people." ”

He propped his hands on the laboratory table and said in a lazy tone: "Of course, whether it is the former or the latter, the answer is: don't daydream. ”

Shiho Miyano was a little confused by him, and it was the first time he had seen someone who was narcissistic to this level. But when I think about it, I do see him a little too much, but I don't have to misunderstand that I will like him, right?

But why did he speak Japanese to himself?

As if to see through her careful thoughts, Sasashima gave the answer she wanted to know.

"I didn't expect to meet such a nasty ghost... It's really not gentlemanly. ”

This is what he whispered in the library just now, did he hear it?

Shiho Miyano blushed slightly, pointed to the book that was abandoned on the laboratory table, and said, "I'm not looking at you, I want that book." ”

Ritsu Sasashima straightened up and didn't feel embarrassed, walked over and picked up the book and handed it to Miyano, and said with a blank face: "Oh, this book is useless to me, for you." ”

"You also have research on cell death and mitochondria?"

"Pathological cell biology was something I was interested in when I was in graduate school two years ago, along with apoptosis and autophagy." Ritsu Sasashima pointed to the English name written on the book and reminded, "I wrote this book, so you can ask me if you don't understand it." ”

It's not false information, the English name on it is indeed Sasashima Ritsu himself, and the book was also written by him during college, but many people are not interested in the research topic, so the sales of the book are not good.

A non-best-selling professional book that does not reveal the author's personal information, which is also a key point in why the National Police Agency chose Ritsu Sasashima as an undercover infiltration organization.

You must know that there has never been a genius in this field in the National Police Agency, and Sasashima has too many conditions to meet at the same time, and only he can enter the scientific research department to investigate the purpose and actual effect of the drugs they are studying.

Miyano Shiho couldn't help but widen his eyes, the young man in front of him looked like he was about the same age as his sister, if it was a professor at school, he would definitely know it, it was a student at school.

If he had been in graduate school two years ago, he would have been a doctoral student based on the fact that he could write a professional book.

"Did you really write this book?"

"Hmm."

"Tell me what says on page 39?"

"There's no text, it's a picture of telomerase. By the way, pages 40 to 42 are about telomerase, and pages 43 to 45 are about why telomerase activity is inhibited in normal cells. ”

Ritsu Sasashima narrowed his eyes, looked condescendingly at Miyano, who was looking through the books to confirm the contents, and said slowly: "The handwritten manuscript can also be lent to you to read, provided that... You can read it. ”

Miyano, who felt that he was being underestimated, closed the book, stood up and said, "Would you like to complete a drug research with me?" I think you're interested. ”

“？”

One is surprised that she is a little quick to invite herself, the second is surprised that the genius girl was "suppressed" by herself and did not get angry, and the third is surprised that she took the initiative to invite herself to participate in the drug that the organization asked her to research.

In fact, Shiho Miyano said this because before coming to the United States to study, the silver-haired man mentioned this book... It is said that the gentleman is very interested in the content of the book, and if he can win over the author who wrote the book, he will be able to promise himself one thing.

So between them, inexplicably, there is a kind of two-way use that is not aware of each other. One party wants to use her as an entry point to successfully infiltrate the organization, and the other party wants to abduct him into the organization in exchange for the opportunity to meet his sister.

It can be said that each has its own ghosts.

"It depends on how much it interests me."

"I'll go back to Tokyo after finishing my studies in May, and I'll reimburse you for your plane tickets and accommodation, so why don't you just go and have a look?"

"Human trafficking?"

“…… I've said I'm not interested in you! (▼ヘ▼#)”

"Oh, let's talk about it in May, and read a good book."

Shiho Miyano is rarely suppressed by others, she has a feeling that she can't let go of her anger, looking at the books in her hand, gritting her teeth or sitting back in her position and looking at it silently.

I have to admit that he is indeed better at this than himself.

For the first time, the genius girl felt frustration.
