night.

Xavier quietly walked out of the bedroom door, and he didn't disturb Shuichi Akai this time.

Sitting on the sofa, Xavier's eyes were cold, falling on the moonlight hanging outside the window, and he was no longer relaxed and comfortable after finishing his speech in the afternoon.

There were no chaotic thoughts in his mind, it was clear but stagnant.Xavier knew it was because he met Miyano Shiho today.

He finally got closer to Belmode.

Xavier sat on the sofa, his posture unchanged, and his expression did not change.He knew that he was destined not to be able to sleep tonight, and instead of letting the dreams that had been entangled for many years reappear again and again, it would be better to stay awake until dawn.

early morning.

Akai Shuichi opened his eyes, and he subconsciously looked to his side.

The bed was not wrinkled at all, it was cold, and there was no vitality at all, as if the person who had slept here for a long time had never appeared.

Akai Hideichi's dark green eyes flashed across You Shen, he pursed his lips tightly, then stood up and pushed open the bedroom door.

The young man sitting on the sofa looked like a sculpture that had been completed in the last century. He didn't raise his head slightly until he walked to his side.

Akai Shuichi furrowed his brows fiercely, unable to untie them no matter what.

Akai Shuichi's left hand couldn't help clasping Xavier's shoulder any longer, the strength was so great that it hurt.

"Why are you doing this!" Akai Shuichi said harshly, he had never used such a tone.Some questions, but inevitably brought hidden worries.

Of course he knew why. Although he didn't know whether it was the woman named Belmode whom he murmured like a sympathizer that caused the destruction of Xavier's family, but he couldn't deny that it was related to the organization.

Xavier only mentioned Belmode once, and there was no special reaction at that time, but Shuichi Akai still remembered the name.

And what he said at the beginning would do him a favor, and he never mentioned it again.

Xavier ignored the pain in his shoulder and smiled slightly.

Why did he want this, but he would never allow himself to control this matter.

Akai Shuichi was startled when he heard his laughter without much emotion, and then let go of his hand.

A thought suddenly popped up in Akai Shuichi's heart, just as the thought came up, his pupils contracted violently.

After he met Xavier, he broke Xavier more than once and woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and then either drank or laughed lowly, no matter what, it was difficult to fall asleep again.Even if he closed his eyes and took a nap on the seat, he would suddenly open his eyes, which showed how much Xavier was concerned about the matter in front of Fourteen, and his face was still calm.

The demons are hard to solve, but the obsession with eternal life.The rot is too deep to touch, so the only consolation is to deceive yourself with appearances.

Perhaps, if he could kill that person back then, even if it was in exchange for his own life, he would not hesitate.As long as that person died before him, as long as he witnessed it with his own eyes.

Akai Hideichi's amazing IQ made him unable to ignore so many details, guessing from the side details did not make Akai Hideichi feel the slightest comfort, but his heart became more and more heavy, all the way to the bottom of the valley.

Closing his eyes fiercely, Akai Hideichi took two steps back, he had never lost his composure before, and his excellent rationality made him unable to control his turbulent emotions.

He never thought about him, even now that Shuichi Akai is Xavier Sterling's boyfriend.

There was a slight bitterness in Akai Hideo's mouth, and his eyes were dull.

And Xavier, who is usually very keen, didn't notice all this.

For the first time, Akai Shuichi tasted the taste of sadness.

-

After Xavier said that Miyano Shiho was a member of the organization, James recalled him and Akai Shuichi back to the FBI without accident.

In the room, the slightly mellow and slightly bitter taste of coffee filled the air, but no one cared about it.

James said to Xavier with a serious face: "We already know the person you mentioned, and she may be our breakthrough."

Xavier rubbed his slightly sore forehead.He stayed up all night, and the nightmare of needing to be restrained by the fence intensified after meeting Miyano Shiho.

Xavier knew it was out of his control, so he didn't care.

Akai Hideichi stood there with his lips pursed, without saying a word, today he seemed extraordinarily silent.

James looked at Shuichi Akai again and again. He didn't understand why Shuichi Akai, who has always been very excited about the clues of the organization, like a hunter who smells prey, is so abnormal today.

James looked at Xavier, hoping he could give him an answer.

Xavier smiled bitterly, and he shook his head slightly at James, indicating that he didn't know.

Akai Shuichi had a panoramic view of Xavier's movements, which made him angry, and then he was reluctantly suppressed.

Suddenly, James' cell phone rang.

While he was answering the phone, Xavier looked at Shuichi Akai, and he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

Since the morning, his mood has been extraordinarily stern.

Akai Shuichi pressed his lips tightly, and then uttered two words: "It's okay."

The voice was still steady, but it seemed to be suppressed.

Xavier was about to ask something more, but just as James hung up the phone, he turned his attention to James.

As soon as Akai Xiu saw this, he suddenly stepped forward and said, "I'm going out for a walk."

With a "click", the door was closed.

James shifted his gaze to Xavier, frowning, "I've never seen him so... fidgety."

Xavier was stunned, and then thought about it, but he didn't find any clues. He hesitated, and then said: "Maybe it's something about the organization that made him like this."

James shook his head. In the past, Akai Shuichi had received such information about the organization more than once, but he had never behaved like this once.

"You guys had a fight," James asked speculatively.

Xavier smiled helplessly, then denied, "No."

In an instant, James stopped paying attention to this matter, and he just said: "Then let's talk about it first, and you will tell Xiuyi when you go back."

Xavier nodded.

James added: "It was a call from investigators just now, and he said that the member of the organization is no longer at Columbia University."

Xavier didn't show any eagerness, he just thought about it, and then asked: "Exchange student"

Columbia University is a two-semester system. After Christmas, it means the end of one semester, and this is the time for exchange studies between schools.

James was a little surprised, and then he remembered that Xavier had just graduated from Stanford University, and he was relieved.

"Where did she go?" Xavier asked.

Miyano Shiho seems to have studied at Columbia University for a short period of time during his studies in the United States, otherwise the FBI, which has been stationed in New York, would not be unaware of it.

James recalled the report on the phone just now, and then replied: "University of Washington."

Xavier was startled, he lowered his eyes slightly to cover up his slightly leaked emotions, and after a long time, he said: "I see, I will tell Xiuyi about this."

-

Ten days later, Xavier handed him an envelope when James told Akai Shuichi about Miyano Shiho's mission.

"Maybe it will be more convenient for me this time." Xavier said softly.

James opened the envelope and pulled out the paper inside.Akai Shuichi's eyes darkened when he saw the handwritten classical cursive characters on it.

The English words of "employment letter" are particularly glaring.

It took Xavier a very short time to apply for a professorship at the University of Washington.

There are countless people with a doctoral degree in chemistry, and there are countless people above him in age and qualifications, but there are very few people who become chemists at the age of 21, not to mention his work at Stanford University. At that time, he occupied a place in the American chemical community.

Countless outstanding theoretical publications in chemistry have been published by him, and no one can refute his professionalism in this field, so it is not unacceptable for him to directly apply for the position of professor, bypassing his supervisor and associate professor.

James was very surprised. He looked at Xavier and couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

"In this case, the two of you go to Washington State together." James decided.

After Xavier left, James thought about the current relationship between the two. He thought for a while and said: "Because the FBI headquarters is in Washington, DC, and Xavier's father works in the headquarters, it may be because he is afraid of danger and takes care of his mother." , so his father did not place his residence next to the headquarters, but in the beautiful Seattle."

The University of Washington is in Seattle.

Akai Shuichi's expression didn't change, but he suddenly became silent when he breathed out. He asked, "Can you tell me what happened after that incident?"

Akai still remembers James saying that Xavier left the United States a year after that incident, but he didn't say what happened before that.

James froze for a moment, he didn't expect Akai Hideichi to ask such a question, and then James fell into the memory, saying: "At that time, he just escaped from the fire scene, and then stood there, instead of crying, he asked us 'If I were used as bait, Lure them to kill me, you have a certain degree of confidence to catch them all' this sentence."

James still clearly remembers his calmness at that time. Outside the glowing red flames, even though his body was stained with blood and he was in a state of embarrassment, Xavier, who was only seven years old at the time, was like a machine that abandoned all emotions beyond reason. Ask this sentence.

Akai Shuichi's pupils contracted uncontrollably.

"I've never met a man who felt like his soul was crying even with a deadpan face."

Akai Shuichi's heart tightened, feeling a sudden dull pain.

All of this is what Xavier once hid.

Shuichi Akai still remembers when Xavier first came to the FBI and mentioned his father, what did he say at that time

"Probably because I was too young at that time, I don't remember many things." He said.

The author has something to say:

Xavier: Didn’t you say that sacrifices that can overthrow everything in the organization are necessary???? Why do I think your style of painting is wrong?

Akai Shuichi: ...
