[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 28
byNight before the war·Peace of mind
After Conan left, the lights in the safe house were still soft and bright, quietly blending the solemnity before the war into the warm light and shadow.Akai Shuichi sat on the sofa, touching the defense map with his fingertips, his eyes focused, but his thoughts had already drifted to his family and people around him.
Gin sat quietly beside him, without any extra words, just accompanying him silently.He was too aware of Akai Shuichi’s concerns at the moment – worried about Hideyoshi, worried about Mary, worried about Rum’s tricks, and even worried about him being in danger.
The night breeze outside the window blew gently on the glass, and the room was so quiet that you could hear each other’s steady breathing.
“Are you worried about me?” Gin was the first to break the silence, his voice was low and gentle, his usual coldness gone, leaving only a delicate concern.
Akai Shuichi raised his eyes and said calmly: “Yes. Rum came here in a desperate attempt to defeat the enemy. Once you appear in his sight, he will get rid of you at all costs.”
“It’s not that easy to get rid of me.” Gin leaned slightly closer and touched the back of his hand with his fingertips. His tone was firm and gentle, “I have lived in the organization for so many years. I know better than anyone how many methods and manpower Rum has. What’s more, I won’t risk my own life – I still want to stay with you.”
Akai Shuichi’s heart trembled slightly.
He has long been accustomed to this man’s strength, murderousness and paranoia, but he can still be easily poked into the softest place in his heart by such a gentle and straightforward promise.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you.” His voice was slightly hoarse, “I just don’t want to lose more.”
His father has been missing for many years and his family has been separated. He has endured too much suffering alone.Now that everything has just turned around, he can no longer bear any separation.
Gin was silent for a moment, then stretched out her hand to hold his hand firmly, her palm dry and warm: “I will not lose. I will not leave, die, and leave you. We will definitely win this round. After winning, nothing can separate us.”
Akai Shuichi looked into his deep green eyes, and his long-term uneasiness gradually settled.
This time, he chose to believe, rely on, and give all his weaknesses to the person in front of him.
“Yeah.” He responded softly, clasping his fingertips slightly.
At this moment, Akai Shuichi’s cell phone vibrated slightly. It was a message from Hideyoshi. His tone was relaxed and bright: [Brother, I will be careful on the day of the competition!Mom has also received a reminder, don’t worry~]
It was followed by a cheering emoji full of energy.
Akai Shuichi’s tight mouth relaxed almost imperceptibly, and he quickly replied: [Stay where you are after it’s over, I’ll pick you up.】
Gin came over to take a look, and laughed softly: “Your brother has a very stable mentality.”
“He has always been like this.” Shuichi Akai put away his phone and said in a relaxed tone, “He seems careless, but he is actually sharper than anyone else.”
Gin’s eyes darkened, and his tone was firm: “When Rum’s operation is resolved, I will clean up all the hidden stumps left by the organization. By then, your family will be safe, the FBI will have nothing to say, and we will be truly stable.”
“Safe.” Akai Shuichi repeated these two words softly, with a long-lost expectation in his eyes.
That was a future that he had never dared to hope for all these years.
Gin looked at his softened side face, slowly approached, her breath fell lightly on his forehead, her voice was low and gentle: “I will give you peace of mind.”
“I will block all the darkness.”
“I will bear all the wind and rain.”
“You just need to stand in the light.”
Akai Shuichi did not move away, but raised his head slightly, letting the distance between them get closer and closer.
The light is gentle, the night is quiet, and even the air becomes soft and lingering.
There were no fierce confessions, no public oaths, just two hearts that had long been closely connected to each other, quietly confirming each other’s existence in the night before the war.
He leaned gently on Gin’s shoulder, closed his eyes, and said in a voice as soft as a gust of wind:
“With you here, I feel safe.”
Gin’s body stiffened slightly, then slowly relaxed, raising her hands to gently wrap her arms around his shoulders, carefully protecting him in her arms.
No matter how dark the night outside the window is, it can’t cover up the palpable warmth inside the house.
The storm was coming, but their hearts were as firm and stable as ever.
