[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 31
byAfter Zhang Fengping, the warmth lingers
The setting sun dyed the entire street a gentle golden orange. The tense confrontation and raid just now had completely ended, and even the evening breeze became soothing and soft.Akai Shuichi and Gin walked side by side in the darkening sky, their hands still naturally clasped together, without any hesitation and no need to be cautious.
After the Rum battle, all family members acquiesced. They no longer have to hide their feelings in front of each other, let alone deliberately alienate themselves in front of others.
“Your mother’s glance just now evaluated me from head to toe.” Gin was the first to speak, with a faint smile in his tone, “MI6’s intuition is indeed well-deserved.”
Akai Shu turned his head to look at him, with a soft light in his eyes: “She is not good at politeness, and her words of ‘reliable’ are already the highest praise.”
“I know.” Gin nodded, his green eyes particularly warm in the dusk, “She is willing to put down her position because of you. Mary Akai only protects her own people in her life.”
Akai Shuichi did not deny it.
From Akai Mutake’s secret protection, to Mary’s calm acceptance, to Hideyoshi and Masumi’s acquiescence, the Akai family will never be bound by their positions.
They only care about their hearts and only protect the people they care about.
The two walked slowly back to the safe base. When the FBI agent on duty downstairs saw their return, he just lowered his head to signal. There was no inquiry or questioning in his eyes, only tacit respect.Judy had already led the people to evacuate, leaving only the most basic warning of not disturbing or approaching, giving the two of them enough quiet space.
Opening the door, the warm yellow light hits your face, gently soothing you from the fatigue along the way.
Akai Shuichi took off his coat and hung it aside. The nerves that had been tense for days finally relaxed completely.
“Rum won’t take action again in a short time.” He walked to the table and poured two glasses of water, handing one to Gin. “He has lost a lot of confidants. He needs time to reorganize his plan, and he also needs time to confirm your position.”
Gin took the water glass, her fingertips inadvertently touched his hand, paused slightly, and then chuckled: “My position has always been clear – I stand with you, with the Akai family, and with the entire organization as an enemy.”
“You don’t have to push yourself to a dead end.” Shuichi Akai said softly, “I can bear it with you.”
“We were meant to be together.” Gin took a step forward, gently held his wrist, and pulled him in front of her. “From the moment you chose not to grab me or push me away, we had no way out, and we didn’t need to.”
The two were extremely close, their breaths intertwined, and their eyes were full of tenderness that only each other could understand.
There is no fierce confession, no deliberate intimacy, only the stability that has settled after the storm.
Akai Shuichi raised his head slightly and looked at the face that once represented darkness and danger. At this moment, only the warmth that made him feel at ease remained.He slowly raised his hand and brushed the side of Gin’s face with his fingertips, his movements gentle and serious.
Gin’s eyes suddenly darkened, she held his wrist, lowered her head gently, and pressed her forehead against his.
“Shuichi.”
“Yeah.”
“Let’s leave here after Rum is completely dealt with.” Gin’s voice was low and serious, “Find a place where no one knows us. We don’t have to pretend, we don’t have to be on guard, and we don’t have to face positions and disputes anymore.”
Akai Shuichi’s heart trembled slightly.
That was a future he never dared to hope for.
There is no FBI, no organization, no MI6, no pursuit and undercover, only the person in front of me.
He looked into Gin’s deep green eyes, nodded slightly, and said in a clear and firm voice:
“Okay.”
“I’ll accompany you.”
Two simple words are worth a thousand words.
Gin tightened his arms and held him firmly in his arms, resting his chin lightly on the top of his hair, his movements gentle and almost pious.
The night outside the window is getting darker, the stars are lighting up little by little, and the house is warm and cozy. There is no more wind, rain, or struggle.
Old enemies embrace each other, darkness and light merge.
All the opposition, pulling, waiting and paranoia in the past, at this moment, have all turned into the most tender companionship.
The clock in the safe house turned quietly, recording this long and warm time after the wind calmed down.
And their future has just begun.
