Model worker and his little darling

After Gin brought Heikichi to the safe house, he quickly cleaned them up.

Seeing that Hirakiyo was still frowning even after fainting, Gin gently massaged Hirakiyo's head, hoping to ease his pain.

Besides that, he didn't know what else he could do; Pingqing had to bear everything on his own.

After Pingqing saved him last time, he slept for four whole days. This time it should be about the same.

"Gin, don't die..."

"Gin, run..."

……

Hearing Hirakiyo's murmurs, Gin frowned. Was he dreaming about that incident?

Much, much later, Ping regained consciousness.

"Gin?"

Hearing Pingqing's hoarse voice, Gin touched his face and said softly, "Yes, I'm here."

After a moment of silence, Pingqing slowly sat up and took Gin's hand. "Gin, I want to drink water, and I want to eat something."

"There's no food here, so I'll have some vodka brought over. Now I'll go get you some water."

"Gin, carry me with you."

"it is good."

Pingqing wrapped his legs around Gin's waist, buried his head in the crook of Gin's neck, rubbed against him, absorbed his warmth, and smelled his scent.

After drinking two large glasses of water, Pingqing finally felt his throat feel better. He then continued to cling tightly to Gin like an octopus.

Seeing Pingqing's actions, Gin ruffled Pingqing's hair. "Are you hugging me so tightly because you're afraid I'll run away?"

"Ah."

After a long silence, Gin finally asked the question that had been bothering him, "Did you dream about that thing from your childhood?"

Upon hearing this, Pingqing shuddered, but ultimately hummed in response.

Noticing the person in his arms begin to tremble, Gin sighed and gently comforted him, "Dreams are always the opposite of reality. That incident happened more than ten years ago. I'm fine, you've grown up, and we're still together. Don't think about that anymore."

"Well, I see."

The thought of his sister covered in blood, and Gin lunging at him, made Hirai swallow hard. It all seemed so much like what he'd seen in his dream. Blood was everywhere; his closest people were dying one by one before his eyes, and he was powerless to stop it.

Thinking of the horrific scene in his dream, Heikichi felt like a deflated balloon. "Gin, I'm so useless."

"How could that be? You saved me and Vodka by yourself before, and today you saved Vermouth. Don't overthink it."

As soon as Vodka entered the room, he saw the two people embracing at the dining table. He was shocked by what his older brother was saying; he had never heard his brother speak in such a gentle voice before.

However, he didn't expect that his older brother had known Yu Lu for over a decade, back when he wasn't even a member of the organization yet. No wonder his older brother had been so kind to Yu Lu from the very beginning, hugging and cuddling her without any restraint.

After quickly putting his things away, Vodka prepared to leave. But upon seeing Gin's gesture, he found a room and locked himself inside.

"Aren't you hungry? Eat up."

Upon seeing the food, Pingqing began to eat. He was afraid of dying from the pain, so he wanted to eat his fill before he died.

Thinking about Heikichi's appearance just now, Gin felt that it was probably more than just dreaming about what happened when he was a child; it was very likely that he dreamed that they were all dead.

He was only a teenager at the time, and he was injured, so he stayed with Ping Qing. He only learned about Ping Qing's memory erasure later.

Thinking of this, Gin took out his phone and sent a message to Shuji Ito, asking about the situation back then.

Turning his head, he saw Gin frowning. Pingqing took the phone away. "Eat with me. You told me not to overthink things, but I think you're the one overthinking."

Hearing the familiar tone and seeing that Hirai had returned to his usual self, Gin smiled and said, "Okay."

Heiji blinked; Gin's smile was too unfair.

Suddenly, Heikiri felt a sharp pain, rubbed his temples, and continued eating with Gin.

In fact, Pingqing also noticed that this time was different from the last time; at least this time he didn't vomit blood. Moreover, after the ordeal last time, his endurance had improved considerably.

……

"Gin, where are we going?"

When Heikiri opened his eyes, he found himself on an airplane, and it looked like they had been flying for a long time, so he had to ask Gin next to him.

"I'm worried about your condition if you go to the US. You should get checked out."

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

He remembered that after he finished eating, he talked a lot with Gin and then fell asleep.

Hmm, could he have been drugged? Otherwise, how could he not feel anything at all?

“Gin, don’t you know my situation? If you’re worried about anything, you should go to the US for a checkup.”

Seeing Hirai's confused expression, Gin thought for a moment and then said, "You keep dreaming about that incident from your childhood. I think there's something wrong with your brain."

Upon hearing this, Pingqing's face instantly darkened. He still remembered that Gin had knocked him unconscious with a single blow and sent him to the organization's hospital for a checkup, suspecting that he had mental problems.

The fact that he's going to America now shows that Gin has always thought he's sick.

Thinking of this, Pingqing pounced on Gin, grabbed his neck, and said fiercely, "I'm perfectly normal, I'm not sick."

After he finished speaking, he looked up and saw a familiar person sitting behind him, looking at him. Pingqing smiled awkwardly, "Dad, you're here too."

He then glared at Gin and shrank back into his seat.

Hmph, he's ignoring Gin.

Not only did they despise him for being sick, they also told his father.

Seeing that Taira was angry, Gin grabbed Taira's hand, but Taira shook it off. Having no other choice, he grabbed Taira's hand again.

Pingqing sighed. Oh well, if he's sick, he's sick. He couldn't bear to let go of Gin's hand.

After exiting the airport, Pingqing saw his mother.

Seeing his mother's worried look, Pingqing kicked Gin. "Mom, I'm fine. Don't listen to Gin's nonsense. It's all his fault. He exaggerated. When I can beat him, I'll give him a good beating and avenge you."

Chikako didn't say anything, she just told people to get in the car quickly.

She actually believed Gin's words more than her own son, since Taira no Kiyoshi's expression didn't look like he was alright.

As the scenery outside the window became more and more familiar, Pingqing's mood improved considerably, and he went home.

As soon as he entered the house, Pingqing rushed to his room, which was still the same as he knew.

Chikako looked at Gin, who had been abandoned by Taira, and pointed upstairs, "Taira's room is at the very back. Go find him yourself."

Gin nodded. This time, he took the person directly to the United States so he could explain things properly.

"Boom boom boom——"

Receiving no response, Gin thought for a moment and then pushed the door open and went in, where he saw Taira Kiyoshi lying face down on the bed.

"Angry?"

Gin tried to hold hands when he received no response, but Taira avoided him.
