Chapter 35: Finding Light in the Night
At night, Kabukicho is at its most busy, with a tidal wave filling the streets and compactly lit shops.
Nie Jianfeng and Tranquility, who walked through the crowd, had their own concerns, but the noisy street market was like a silent forest path to them, they seemed to be in a different time and space from these citizens shopping, and even the two of them no longer seemed to be on the same plane with each other.
Returning to the ukiyo-e hall without saying a word, as soon as they entered the door, a petite figure who was busy among the guests rushed in front of them, panting and asking, "How is it?
As if she didn't see Sachiko, Tranquility walked by with her head down and went up to the second floor. Seeing her like this, Nie Jianfeng sighed and shook his head slowly.
"Where's my aunt?
Still shaking his head, Nie Jianfeng never felt so helpless, only a few days after coming to Japan, Uncle Jianyin was inexplicably possessed by an evil spirit, his whereabouts were unknown, Tranquility was injured, Bai Ma Xiao became a murder suspect, and he also played missing, even the seemingly very reliable Bai Bird Ling disappeared together, and the originally neat team was shattered like this.
What worries him the most is the state of tranquility, originally worried about her pregnancy, and wanted her to stay in the ukiyokan, but she insisted on going out with him to find them, judging from her expression, she was very concerned and blamed herself.
Although everyone persuaded her that it was not her fault, Nie Jianfeng understood that Tranquility had always been the delicate girl who was always afraid of causing trouble to the people around her, and the best embodiment was that she and Carl died together when she was GSG.
How sad it must be for a person who would rather die than cause trouble to others.
Sachiko is still optimistic, "You go to a hot spring and have a good rest, I'll get you something to eat." She was dressed in the same kimono as the attendants around her, and she was like a new child laborer, working energetically.
In the end, it is a child, but at this time it is more open than they want to see, and they actually experience life here.
Nie Jianfeng went upstairs and came to their private room, where he found that Tranquility was packing up his clothes basket and looked like he was ready to go to the hot spring.
Hot springs are the best place to relieve stress at this time.
"Together?" Nie Jianfeng said softly as he packed up his basket.
"Hmm. β
The two still wordlessly packed up the kimonos they were going to change into, went out together without a word, and went to the hot spring together without a word.
At the entrance of the hot spring, they met Iori and Chimorizuru.
"Did you find them?" Iori, with her hair wet over her shoulders, looked like she had just come out of the hot springs.
The two shook their heads.
Iori didn't say anything and walked past them. Instead of following immediately, Senmoritsuru looked at them and said softly, "You don't need to worry. They have experienced their skills and can take care of themselves. β
Nie Jianfeng squeezed out a smile, "Well, thank you, senior." β
"Iori...... Is she okay?" asked Tranquility, still uneasy.
Chimori looked at Iori who had gone away, if she hadn't kept up with Iori before, Iori would have found out and waited, now it seems that she is still a little distracted, "This kid is not as strong as he seems, and today is the fourth time he has soaked in the hot spring." β
Fourth. Without much description, both Nie Jianfeng and Tranquility knew what it meant.
Only when you feel that your body is dirty will you always want to take a bath.
Iori not only suffers from such pain, but also pretends that nothing happened, and this kind of pressure is not something that everyone can bear.
Chimoritsuru nodded to them and followed Iori.
Nie Jianfeng looked at Ningning, she didn't have too much expression, and still entered the bathroom with her head down wordlessly.
A huge hot spring with only two people and a wooden screen.
They soaked in the hot springs against the screen, the warm spring water surrounded their bodies, and no one spoke.
After a long time, a quiet voice came from the other end, "Are you still there?"
"I'm here. β
"I miss you. β
β...... Let's go. β
After a short conversation, the two ended the hot spring and left the warm spring water together.
The two put on their kimonos without a word, returned to the private room very quietly, and entered the back room very tacitly.
Soon, the two of them entered the warm spring again, they hugged each other tightly, kissed each other frantically, and Tranquility fell to the ground with a limp, and they almost vented their stress in a violent way, until the room was silent again.
After the clouds and rain, Tranquility seemed to have broken through the last line of defense, and she curled up in Nie Jianfeng's arms, crying loudly.
At this time, it is not only each other's bodies that are honest with each other, but also their hearts.
Tranquility is really tired, but also really sad and guilty. Nie Jianfeng didn't say anything to comfort, maybe it was the best comfort just now, she just needed to cry out recklessly.
I don't know how long it took, Tranquility fell asleep in his arms, looking at the tear stains in the corners of her eyes, he gently left a kiss in the corners of her eyes.
"Knock knock", at this time there was a knock on the door, Tranquility was awakened, looking at Nie Jianfeng who was hugging him tightly in front of him, he smiled at first, and then seemed to feel their state at this time the next moment, and suddenly became embarrassed.
"What's the matter? I'm sorry now?"
Tranquility's face turned crimson, and he picked up his clothes to cover his face, and he picked up his clothes in a panic and wore them haphazardly.
Nie Jianfeng grabbed her hand, pressed her under her again, and kissed her deeply.
"Wait...... There are people outside the door. β
"What are you afraid of?" Nie Jianfeng kissed her neck.
Tranquility was hot all over, but it didn't overcome her reason, "Maybe it's Senior Sister Ji...... I'll talk about it later......"
"Good. Nie Jianfeng kissed her cheek, "Late." β
The two of them got dressed honestly, and when they opened the door, the low table in the outhouse was already full of food, Ji Keyan was kneeling at the table in a kimono, it seemed that he had come back from the hot spring, and he was unceremoniously eating at this time, looking at the two of them, and said with a smile, "You are finally willing to come out of the gentle township?"
Tranquility blushed and hid behind Nie Jianfeng.
Every time after the fact, Tranquility would be like this, Nie Jianfeng had long been used to it, and pulled her into the seat.
Ji Keyan continued her teasing, "Hey, it's a shame that I've worked so hard to find someone outside, it's better for you to be lazy here." β
"Senior sister said with a smile, Xiaojing and I have just come back. Unfortunately, there has been little progress. Although Nie Jianfeng was talking to Ji Keyan, his hands were not idle, and he was holding a large pot of beef in the Suki pot in front of Ning Ning.
Looking at the tranquility with a ruddy face and a big appetite, Ji Keyan sighed, "Love can really nourish a woman, look at you, you still have a bitter gourd face in the morning, and now you are happy as if you want to be a mother." β
Tranquility blushed and smiled, "Senior Sister Ji, don't make fun of me. β
"Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you. Get down to business. Ji Keyan poured a glass of sake and drank it all, the wine tasted faint, but it was still impulsive, and he smacked his lips, "I contacted my colleagues in Fez Xuanwu Banner today." I asked him to help me check the spirit prison records of the little white horse, and found that he had not used spirit magic for a day today. β
Nie Jianfeng also poured a glass of wine, Ji Keyan took the initiative to invite him to touch a glass when he saw this, Nie Jianfeng took a sip and said, "That means, he hasn't encountered any danger yetβat least not enough to make him use spiritual magic." β
Ji Keyan said with a smile, "That's not necessarily, it's possible to die." She said playfully, and took another drink.
"Don't laugh, senior sister, the white horse won't die so easily. Nie Jianfeng said firmly.
Ji Keyan was already a little drunk, and said slightly drunk, "Yesterday, when we met the Qianzi Key Sword, this guy was knocked unconscious before he could make a move. I see that he has left you, and he will not live for half a day. β
Nie Jianfeng said, "White Horse, he was indeed bleak at the beginning. He was also separated from us in the GSG, but he brought out the decisive flare, and not only survived to the end, but even the last demon spirit was defeated by him. What's more, he has changed a lot in the past two months. β
Nie Jianfeng is notoriously cold and cold-bellied at Phoenix University, and the person who can be so optimistic about him is definitely not an ordinary person, Ji Keyan completely understands this, after all, he has been his senior sister for three years, and Ji Keyan has heard a lot of his deeds.
"Alright then, I'll see. Ji Keyan toasted him slightly apologetically, "But Xiaoling...... I don't have a clue either. β
As he said this, the door opened, and Sachiko, who had already changed into a kimono, burst in with her damp hair, and began to gobble up chopsticks while lying on the table.
Ji Keyan patted her on the back, "Eat slowly, don't worry." You've been here for a day helping out today?"
Sachiko swallowed a big gulp, and after a large piece of beef was swallowed, she said with satisfaction, "I also want to go out to find someone, but Senmorizuru-sama won't let me, and he detains me here to work for them, and the key is not to pay salaries, which is excessive." β
Ji Keyan looked at her funny appearance, and couldn't help but feel that Qian Shouhe deserved to be an experienced old-timer, this little girl was infected with gambling at a young age, not only lost all her family property, but also was so willful and active, detaining her here to work can indeed hone her heart very well.
"But ah, it's not like I didn't do anything. I told all the diners of the Shiratori family to go to them. Sachiko swallowed another piece of meat, picked up Ji Keyan's wine glass and was about to drink it, but Ji Keyan hit her hand, changed her to a glass of juice, and after taking a sip, she continued, "It turned out that my aunt was taken to the Metropolitan Police Department by the police department named Lieutenant General Sato today." I don't know what they talked about. As for my uncle, it is said that he is still at the Shinguchi Gumi, and he may have been rescued by someone from the Shinguchi-gumi, or he may have been locked up by the Shinguchi-gumi. β
The three of them looked at her with admiration, they didn't expect that this Sachiko was the youngest, and she stayed here all day, and she could actually get so much news, it was really strategic.
"Hey, where's the big uncle?" Sachiko suddenly asked halfway through her meal.
Tranquility said, "He left, saying that he went to find his boss." Leave him alone, you go on, do you have any other questions?"
"There is no news about my uncle, not even the police. As for my aunt, let her tell you about it later. β
Before everyone could react, the door opened, and a dazzling fiery red appeared in the doorway.
