I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

The sound of the door locking behind me was so clear in the quiet room.

Shinji Kitahara's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously glanced at Special Weekly behind him and found that the other person still had a silly and expectant look on his face, as if he had just accidentally bumped the lock when he came in.

Why is this silly child still so clumsy...?

Shinji Kitahara thought to himself, then sat down on the sofa, ready to start rubbing her after she came over. He planned to rub her for a while until she was satisfied, then make her leave quickly, lest she be unable to return after curfew.

Shinji Kitahara froze.

As he expected, Zhou came over and sat down.

But the seat he was sitting in was a little different from what he had expected.

For example, in his arms.

Just as he was about to tell Special Week to stop fooling around, a pair of arms wrapped around his neck.

With a slight pull, she drew him closer, then leaned down to whisper in his ear.

Her long hair hung down, obscuring her expression.

She opened her mouth, her breath carrying a distinct warmth, but the words she uttered sent a chill down Kitahara Shinji's spine.

"Mr. Shinji."

"Have you been busy with 'those people' these past two weeks?"

Chapter 82: Do you want me to take you home?

those people.

Special Week didn't specify who it was, but Shinji Kitahara immediately understood what she meant.

After all, she was different from others; she had personally experienced that kind of thing.

The problem is, didn't she forget? And how would she know...?

"Because only those kinds of people can make you, Shinji, take the initiative to do that, right?"

Zhou's voice was very soft, completely different from his previous honest voice.

"Special Week..."

Shinji Kitahara finally noticed something was wrong, but before he could speak, Special Week spoke up again, interrupting him.

"If Mr. Shinji wants me to leave, I will leave; if he wants me to leave, I will leave; if he doesn't want me to get involved in these matters, I absolutely will not get involved."

She unconsciously tightened her grip on his arm slightly, but immediately relaxed it upon realizing it, as if she were holding something precious and fragile, carefully protecting it.

"I will listen to Shinji-san, so, can I stay here for a while?"

"It'll be over in a little while."

Is this child afraid because those unpleasant memories have been triggered...?

Sensing the trembling in his arms, Shinji Kitahara hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not let her leave.

After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and gently patted her back with one hand while stroking her hair with the other, comforting her as he always had.

"Alright, alright, don't be afraid, I'm here..."

As he spoke soothing words, Zhou's trembling gradually stopped, and the rage in his eyes faded.

No, that won't do, especially since it's Zhou...

If you act like this, Mr. Shinji won't like it, and he might even worry about it...

She didn't want him to worry or be sad, so she would control her emotions.

Moreover, unlike the others, she was almost one of the first horse girls to meet him, and she spent more time with him than the other horse girls.

She had seen him at his most authentic self and knew his likes and dislikes.

So, even though she knew she might be able to force something, even though something was stirring in her heart, even though this warmth was so close, she still didn't do anything.

Because she knew very well that if she actually did something, that would only make this warmth leave her.

Moreover, the fact that Mr. Shinji allowed her to go to such lengths is enough to demonstrate his trust in her.

If she betrayed this trust, not only would Mr. Shinji not be able to accept it, but she herself would not be able to accept it either.

Shinji is her most precious treasure, and she knows his likes and dislikes, so she would never do anything that might make him hate her or even hurt him.

Of course, others are even less likely to succeed.

but......

Feeling the warmth surrounding her body, the gentle pats on her back, and the ticklish sensation from her hair being rubbed, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face, which was hidden by her long hair.

If he doesn't mind, then she certainly wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to be a little willful to satisfy some of her little desires.

“Zhou, don’t be afraid. Those people can’t threaten you. I’ve spoken with URA and reviewed the relevant files. It’s probably because of the protection of the Three Goddesses. So far, their operations haven’t succeeded even once, so there’s absolutely nothing to worry about…”

Since Zhou was unaware of his messy affairs, Kitahara Shinji had no choice but to go against his conscience and attribute all the credit to those three useless goddesses.

"I'm not scared at all..."

Zhou muttered something under her breath, then gently rested her head on his shoulder, her expression becoming increasingly content.

That's enough. Any more and it might put Mr. Shinji in a difficult position...

"Yes, yes, you're not afraid."

Shinji Kitahara continued patting her back, paused for a moment, and then spoke again.

"Besides, this is none of your business. Chairman, Miss Junchuan, and many other reliable adults, this is our job. You just need to stay here and do your job."

"No, I can't."

She didn't argue and obediently nodded in agreement.

However, after pausing for a moment, she spoke again, her tone serious.

"But in exchange, Mr. Shinji, you must promise me three things."

"......What's up?"

"First, if there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."

"Secondly, you must do your best to ensure your own safety. I don't want to see Mr. Shinji get hurt."

"Third, you can't leave me again... just like before."

When he heard the last request, Shinji Kitahara was completely overwhelmed.

Especially when he was halfway through his speech, Zhou's tone became noticeably lower, even revealing a hint of pleading, like a little animal abandoned by its mother.

"No, that's... never mind."

Gently patting Special Week's back, Shinji Kitahara sighed and then said earnestly.

"Okay, I promise you everything, and I will never abandon you like before."

"Then make a pinky promise, only a dog would lie."

Zhou sat up straight, his usual silly smile returning to his face, and extended a little finger.

Shinji Kitahara breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had regained her usual spirits. He then reached out his hand and hooked his two little fingers together.

"No matter when, no matter what, and no matter what the reason, you are not allowed to leave me again."

Why does this word seem a little off?

Shinji Kitahara felt a slight sense of unease, but before he could think about it, he sighed and nodded under Special Week's relentless onslaught.

"Yes, definitely not."

After making a pinky promise, Special Weekly giggled and snuggled in Kitahara Shinji's arms for a while, enjoying this rare moment of tenderness. Even the growth rate of his hair seemed to slow down slightly.

Then, time slipped away little by little as we enjoyed the special week, and the clock on the wall gradually approached the curfew. There was less than half an hour left before the dormitory closed.

"Wake up, it's time. Do you want me to take you home?"

Shinji Kitahara asked.

Zhou blinked.

"I don't want to go back, I can stay here with you, Mr. Shinji..."

"No, I'll take you back."

Shinji Kitahara interrupted her directly, his attitude very firm.

Although the two of them had indeed lived together and even slept together before.

But at that time, on the one hand, it was due to the circumstances, and on the other hand, Zhou was still a little kid.

Now that there's no urgent situation, and especially since Zhou has grown into a plump and juicy young woman who can arouse him, it's impossible for him to agree.

Special Zhou didn't expect him to agree, and after turning into a puffed-up pufferfish for a few seconds, she took the initiative to leave his arms.

However, before leaving, thinking that he seemed to have misunderstood his previous behavior, Zhou suddenly had a bold idea and stopped in his tracks before leaving the house.

"Um, Mr. Shinji."

Her face was slightly flushed, and her tail swayed gently behind her.

"I don't know, could you give me one of your clothes? I was thinking, back then tonight..."

If it were any other horse girl, Kitahara Shinji would definitely suspect what she wanted his clothes for.

But the problem is that this is a special week.

He used to hold her while she slept, and now, because of his previous behavior, it's clear that those unpleasant memories have been stirred up in her. So, it's not hard to understand why she wants his clothes or to be held while she sleeps.

Although he felt it was a bit inappropriate, seeing the uneasy expression on her face, Shinji Kitahara hesitated for a while, but finally sighed and agreed.

But which one should we give her?

Because he didn't have much money before, he didn't have many clothes to begin with.

These days, although he has money, he has been so busy that he has no time to buy clothes. He even rushed to the old woman's clothing store and then left in a hurry before going to the detention room to gather information.

Fortunately, before he could struggle with the situation for long, Zhou offered a suggestion.

"If you haven't thrown it away, the one you wore out before will be fine..."

Speaking of this, a strange light flashed in Zhou's eyes.

If she had been by Shinji's side back then, if she had been in this state now...

"Oh, that one? I haven't thrown it away yet, and I've already washed it. I'll go get it for you."

After all, it was his old companion who had been with him through difficult times, so even though it was broken, he took it to his elderly wife to have it repaired.

Although I don't plan to wear it anymore, it would be nice to keep it as a memento, and now it's perfect to give it to Special Week.

Afterwards, Special Week, blushing, thanked Kitahara Shinji after receiving the clothes, said goodbye, and left Kitahara Shinji's dormitory.

Then, after confirming that he had closed the door, Zhou quietly took the clothes to a dark corner, hugged them to his chest, buried his head in them, and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

Hehehe, this outfit has a very strong Shinji vibe...

Until we can get really close to Mr. Shinji, let's just be patient for now...

......

On the other hand, after seeing off Special Week, Shinji Kitahara suddenly remembered something.

That means he probably, it seems, forgot to reply to his senior, Ma Niang...

This sounds strange, since no one said that you have to reply to a message as soon as you receive it, what if you don't see it?

The problem is that Line is different from WeChat; it has a feature called 'read'.

Simply put, once you open and see the message, the recipient will see that it has been read.

Just now, when his senior, Ma Niang, sent him a message, he immediately took out his phone and saw it. And she probably hadn't put her phone down yet either, so she definitely saw his read message too...

Clinging to the last shred of hope, Shinji Kitahara sent a message back to the other party.

Almost instantly after he sent his message, the other party sent a new message, saying that if he was free tomorrow afternoon, they could meet to discuss the information he had gathered.

Kitahara Shinji: "..."

Could this old woman have been waiting all this time?
