When Shen Wuxiao returned to the apartment, Qiu Shuang had already fallen asleep on the sofa. She took off her shoes and walked upstairs barefooted.
She walked into the bathroom, took a shower, put on her pajamas, and wrapped a towel around her head. She walked to the dressing table and looked at her face seriously. She used to think that her face was very beautiful, but now she suddenly felt that it was very unfamiliar. She sighed deeply and slowly took out the essence from the dressing table and began to gently pat her cheeks and neck. She gently patted the back of her hand with hand cream.
After doing all this, she took off the towel on her head and began to dry her hair with the hairdryer. When her hair was half-dry, she sat on the bed and recalled what she had said to Anthony today. After a long time, she curled up and fell asleep.
In the afternoon, when the dazzling sunlight shone on Shen Wuxiao through the large French windows, Shen Wuxiao lazily climbed out of bed and rubbed her relaxed eyes. She went into the bathroom to wash up and change her clothes. When she arrived downstairs, Qiu Shuang had already prepared lunch. The dining table was filled with her favorite food.
" Sister Myra, you're awake. Sit down and get ready to eat." Qiu Shuang saw Shen Wuxiao standing at the stairway.
"Why did you do so much? Are you celebrating something?" Shen Wuxiao looked at the table full of food and asked.
" No, I didn't have much to do today. I just wanted to make more delicious food to reward our stomachs. Today, I'm going to go on a killing spree and eat as much as I can," Qiu Shuang always said with a smile.
"Hehe, what happy event did you encounter? Why don't you tell me?" Shen Wuxiao smiled at Qiu Shuang.
" It's really nothing, Sister Myra. You're thinking too much." Qiu Shuang was still smiling.
After lunch, Qiu Shuang and Shen Wuxiao sat in the study. Qiu Shuang told them about the situation of her exploration of the terrain. From Qiu Shuang's description, Shen Wuxiao felt that Qiu Shuang was more and more suitable to be a professional killer. Her meticulous observation, amazing insight, cautious style of doing things, and most importantly, she had a cold heart.
"Ash Wolf!"
"Puma, how's your recovery? Will it affect the mission this time?" Chaves rested his feet leisurely on the coffee table and smoked a cigar.
"I've almost recovered. I don't think it will affect me. But why didn't we take on the mission this time? We're assassins, but this time, we're asked to protect others and be their bodyguards?”The twins didn't seem to understand why Chaves would receive a mission that didn't match them.
"What's so surprising about that?" Chaves asked after hearing what the horse said.
" We're professional killers. Our specialty is to eliminate disasters for people and make them disappear from this world. It's relatively safe and exciting for us. However, we're not professional in protecting people, and the safety factor is relatively low. We're always exposed to the enemy and our lives are in danger at any time..."
"Are you worried about being killed by others? Are you afraid of death?" Before the two could finish speaking, Chaves continued.
"That's not what I meant. I just feel that it's a bit illogical for a killer to protect someone," the two men quickly said when they saw Chaves 'dark expression.
" For us, we will do anything as long as it's a profitable business. In fact, killing people and protecting people are similar. We can successfully complete the mission in a relatively dangerous environment and get away perfectly." After listening to the twin brothers, Chaves 'tone eased up.
" Well, you're right. I understand. I'll complete this mission smoothly. I won't let you down," the twin sister said confidently.
" Alright, then you should go back and have a good rest. Hurry up and recover from your injuries and make a good plan this time." Chaves finally turned his head to look at the twins.
" Okay, I know. I'll go back first." After saying that, the two women turned around and left.
When she returned to the apartment, she took out the information she had read before and read it carefully again. As she read, she wrote and drew on the notebook. After about an hour, she stood up and stretched. She shook her hands and feet and shook her head. She found that her arm was in pain. Only then did she realize that the blood had dyed the white gauze red. Suddenly, a person flashed across her mind.
"Kiki, are you busy? Can you come to my apartment for a while?" Ma Duo spoke into the receiver.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Kiki's lazy voice came from the receiver.
"My wound opened again and I'm bleeding a lot. Can you come over and help me bandage it?”The horse didn't have its usual arrogant tone.
" Oh, alright then. Wait for me. I'll be right there." After saying that, she hung up.
About ten minutes later, Kiki walked in with a tired expression.
" You're here," Ma Ma looked at Kiki and said.
" Well, let me take a look at your wound." He walked to the horse and squatted down, gently removing the gauze that was originally wrapped around the opening.
" Ah, slow down, Kiki. It hurts," the horse shouted.
" Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that your wound is already inflamed. Some of the gauze has already seeped into your wound, so it might hurt a little. Bear with it or take some painkillers to help you relieve the pain," Kivi said as she looked at the bloody wound.
"Isn't it just a small wound? Is it as serious as you say?”The two said reluctantly.
"At first, it was a small wound. I told you to wash it and bandage it, but you didn't listen and insisted on solving it yourself. Look, it's inflamed now.”Kiki complained.
" Kiki, am I a very annoying woman?" This was the second time that the twin asked Kiki this question.
"Why are you asking this question again? Didn't you already ask this last time?”Kiki was a little impatient.
" You see, I was going to see Anthony happily this time, but this happened. He must hate me to death now," said the twin, feeling a little sad.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's all in the past. "Women are troublesome. They always have endless questions." Kiki looked at the horse in disgust.
" See, since you've said so, Anthony must be even more annoyed with me," Puma said, ignoring Kiki's attempts to stop him.
"Puma, do you still want to treat your wound? "If you want to deal with it properly, shut your mouth and be quiet," Kiki suddenly said loudly.
"Oh." The horse quieted down.
"Do you want some painkillers or an injection to stop the pain?”Kiki asked.
Zhuang Ma was a little absent-minded and didn't speak.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question." Kiki waved her hand in front of the horse and said angrily.
"Ask me what? Didn't you tell me to shut up? Shut up and let the children talk?" The horse didn't show any weakness.
Kivi didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the woman in front of him.
"Let me ask you, do you want some painkillers or an injection to stop the pain? " Removing the gauze is very painful because it has already grown on the wound," Kiki repeated helplessly.
"No need. Sometimes, pain can bring people unprecedented pleasure. Besides, what's the point of physical pain? Compared to Anthony's car accident, my injuries are nothing.”Zhuang Ma started to talk to himself again.
" Alright, then you just have to endure it," Kiki said, ignoring her.
"Ah, Kiki, you bastard. Why are you using so much force to take revenge? Are you trying to kill me?”Suddenly, the entire apartment was filled with ear-splitting screams.
"Hey, can you not think of me as being as petty as you? Besides, didn't I say that it would be very painful just now? You didn't listen, and you still have the cheek to shout.”Kiki looked at the horse with dissatisfaction.
Kiki's arm was pinched by Puma until it turned purple and soon became swollen. Puma looked at Kiki with an embarrassed smile.
" Alright, I'm sorry, and thank you." The two of them looked mischievous.
" Then I'm leaving," Kiki said and prepared to leave.
"Stop right there. You haven't treated your wound yet. Where are you going?”Ma Ma blocked Kiki who was about to leave.
Kivi looked at the domineering woman helplessly. He shook his head and sighed.
" Forget it. A good man doesn't fight with a woman. I'll be a good man to the end," Kivi said as she squatted down again.
Seeing Kiki squatting on the ground, the two of them slowly sat down on the sofa.
By the time the wound had healed, beads of sweat had already seeped out of Puma's forehead. His entire body was covered in sweat, and so was Kiki.
" Kiki, stay for dinner," said Puma as she looked at Kiki who was about to leave.
" No, you can eat by yourself. I still have things to deal with. I'm leaving." She left without looking back.
Looking at the back view of Kivi leaving, Mei Ma suddenly had an impulse to cry. No one had ever treated her like this before. Every time she needed help, she would appear and help her tide over the difficulties. It could not be said that Kivi was like an angel, but she was like Satan, Mei Ma thought. She vaguely remembered that she had read a passage somewhere, but she could not recall it at the moment. She tried her best to recall it and finally remembered that the passage was written like this:
Sometimes women need men
Just like how an escapee needs a parachute
If I'm not here at the moment
Then you don't have to be here anymore
In the past, she couldn't understand the true meaning of these words, but now, after experiencing so many difficulties and hardships, she finally understood the meaning of these words deeply. She understood why someone would write such words. In fact, no matter how strong a person was, there would always be a soft spot in their heart. It was just that no one cared about it. Therefore, most of the time, we chose to force ourselves to be strong and hide those weak spots. Once we encountered any major difficulties, Our weakness had no place to hide. At that time, perhaps we only needed a word of concern, a greeting, or a warm arm to give us a safe haven, but there was nothing. When we got through those years, the weak places in our hearts slowly became strong. Now, Zhuang Ma deeply understood and felt that these words had written her own thoughts.
Kivi walked out of the apartment and walked to the front of his car. He put on his helmet and rode his red BMW motorcycle, disappearing into the night. Kivi drove the car to the fastest speed possible, and all he could hear was the sound of the wind. Everything disappeared in front of his eyes. Finally, he rode to the beach. Kivi turned off the engine, stopped, took off his helmet, and walked towards the beach.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark. He was lying on the fine sand, looking up at the starry sky. He clenched his fists and hammered on the beach. He was fast and powerful. He felt a sharp pain in his hands, but at the same time, he felt a pleasure. Just like what Zhuang Ma had said, sometimes pain could bring people unprecedented pleasure. He felt this way now. He seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. He hammered harder on the beach. After a while, perhaps he was tired, he stopped. He slowly sat up, shook his arms, took off his clothes, and threw them on the beach. Then, he stood up and walked toward Hai Shui.
The seawater slowly covered his feet, calves, knees, waist, chest, neck, and head. He disappeared into the sea. The seawater was still calm. The night sky was beautiful. The bright stars and the bright moonlight were reflected on the calm sea. This place seemed so peaceful.
When Mrs. Huang was peeling the apple, she accidentally cut her hand. Fortunately, it was not serious. She put her hand to her mouth and sucked it before continuing to peel her apple. However, she suddenly felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen, or had already happened. Her heart was in a mess. She could not sit still anymore. She stood up and paced back and forth in the living room. She felt that something was wrong, but she could not tell what was wrong. She was still restless.
" Hello, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later." The voice came from the phone. The two continued to call Kiki's apartment, but no one answered. This made her heart even more chaotic.
She grabbed a jacket and put it on, then went out. She walked to the front of the car and quickly opened the door to get in. She started the car. When she arrived at Kiki's apartment, the lights in the apartment had already been turned off. It was pitch black. Ma Duo hesitated whether to knock on the door. It was already so late. Maybe Kiki was already asleep, so he did not answer the phone. Besides, it was already good enough that a person like Kiki did not cause trouble for others. What could happen to him? Thinking of this, Mei Ma felt that she was too nervous. She walked around Kiki's apartment and went back.
After returning to her apartment, she looked at the big pendulum clock in the living room. It was already past two o'clock. She washed her face briefly and applied some night cream. She went to the kitchen to pour a glass of milk and drank it before walking to the bedroom.
When she woke up the next day, it was already raining outside the window. Zhuang Ma walked to the bathroom in her pajamas and started to wash up. After washing up, she went to the dressing table and put on some light makeup. Without changing her clothes, she walked into the kitchen and prepared breakfast. She fried a medium-well steak and an egg, then put two slices of bread on the bread machine and poured a glass of milk. This was her breakfast. She sat at the dining table and began to eat. After dinner, she walked to the living room and realized that it was already past one in the afternoon. It turned out that she had just eaten lunch.
He walked to the sofa and sat down. He continued to read the information. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he jumped up from the sofa and walked to the phone. He picked up the receiver and skillfully pressed the Arabic numbers on the keyboard that he was familiar with.
" Hello, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later." The voice on the receiver was still the same.
After hanging up the phone, she called Kiki's apartment again, but no one answered. This time, she was a little flustered. Those bad premonitions surged in her heart again. After hanging up the phone, she went straight to Kiki's apartment. Only then did she realize that the iron gate outside Kiki's apartment was not locked at all. She changed the sliding door and entered. The door of the apartment was locked. She pressed the doorbell desperately, but she still did not see Kiki.
At this time, Puma's mind was in a mess. She drove to the base of the Ash Wolf, but she still could not find Kivi. Puma was at a loss. She walked out of the door and sat in the car. Her mind was filled with some messy assassination scenes. There was no complete picture, but she saw Kivi's desperate eyes in every fragmented picture. Puma broke out in cold sweat and leaned helplessly on the steering wheel.
" Ding! Ding!" The phone in his pocket rang.
Ma Duo escaped and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, is this Miss Ma? This is the number one private hospital in New York City. There's a Mr. Kiki here. Is it convenient for you to come over?”A woman's gentle voice came from the phone.
" Oh, I know. I'll go over now." The two of them hung up the phone and drove to the First Private Hospital in New York. She walked to the information desk and asked for Kiki's ward number. Then, she walked towards the ward. Just as she reached the door of Kiki's ward, a nurse came out from inside.
"Nurse, what's wrong with Kiki? Is it serious?" Ma Jia stopped the nurse and asked anxiously.
" Oh, it's nothing serious. He just has a fever. When he came here, he was all wet. It wasn't raining at that time, and he fainted as soon as he came in. It's late autumn now, so he's wet. He must be sick. But we've already given him an IV drip, taken his medicine, and taken his temperature. His fever has subsided. Don't worry, you can go in and see him now." The nurse left after she finished speaking.
？Puma gently pushed the door in and sat down on the chair beside the bed. She looked at the man lying on the bed seriously. Kiki was pale, her lips were a little dry, and her breathing was stable. Puma did not know why she suddenly felt a heartache when she saw Kiki's current appearance. She felt that her heart was slowly being swallowed by something. This feeling was no less than his heartache for Anthony.
"Why are you here?" Kivi woke up and saw the horse sitting by the bed in a daze.
"Oh, the hospital called me, so I came over. What happened to you? Wasn't he fine when he left yesterday? Are you feeling better now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?" Ma Ma was filled with heartache.
"I'm much better. I have such a good body. What can happen to me?”Kiki pretended to be relaxed.
"Hehe, that's good. But, Kiki, I heard from the nurse that you were drenched when you came to the hospital. It wasn't raining at that time.”Ma Duo looked at Kiki with his chin in his hand.
"It's nothing. Look, isn't everything fine now? Oh, right, what time is it now? Why are you still here? Don't you need to go back and look at the documents for the line tube?”He quickly changed the topic.
" It's already afternoon, and it's raining today. Hehe, I've read the information many times and it's already engraved in my mind. There's no need to read it anymore. Besides, this mission is not our specialty, so I'm not very interested." As soon as she thought of this mission, she frowned.
"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with this mission?" Kiki raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
" Yes, this time we received the mission to protect others. I don't like this feeling. I never know how to protect a person. I'm just used to and enjoy assassinating. You know this feeling. It's very exciting and very happy." The twin brothers frowned even more.
"Hehe. In fact, it's just a change of medicine. It's just that this time, you're in the open while the enemy is in the dark. Isn't it a better experience for you to maintain a high degree of vigilance and superhuman insight at all times? As the number one assassin, he could easily take care of people or things that threatened him at any time, right?”Kiki smiled at her.
" Actually, I know all this. Chaves told me the same thing before, but I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy. Maybe it's my first time doing such a long mission, so I'm not used to it." As he spoke, his furrowed brows began to relax.
"After listening to you say so much, can I understand that you are not confident in this mission and that you are not confident that you can successfully complete this mission?”Kiki asked after listening to the horse.
" I don't know. I always have a bad feeling. It's getting stronger and stronger recently. I always feel that something is going to happen," Zhuang Ma sighed and said with a smile.
" Maybe I'm too nervous and over-stressed about this mission, causing my nerves to weaken. That's why I have such an illusion," Kivi said with a smile.
" Maybe. Oh, right, Kiki, you must be hungry. What do you want to eat? I want to make it for you. I'll bring it over when it's ready." Puma finally remembered that Kiki had not eaten yet.
" Hehe, I don't understand you anymore. You've changed so suddenly, you've changed…" Kiki didn't know how to express himself.
"Aren't you used to being treated well? Do you have a masochistic heart?”The horse returned to its usual arrogance.
" That's more like it. This time, it's your style. I'm really not used to that just now. It's very uncomfortable." Kivi maintained a refined smile.
" Kiki, have you realized that after many things, we have all changed? Especially, especially after Shen Wuxiao's death," said Mei Ma as she raised her head to look at Kiki.
Kivi's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly put on a nonchalant expression and laughed out loud.
"Kiki, what are you laughing at? What's so funny?" Ma was a little confused by Kiki's smile.
" It's nothing. It looks like you've been really nervous lately. You're always paranoid and don't feel right about anything. Go back and have a good sleep. Don't think about anything else. Everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow," Kivi said with a serious expression.
"Is that so? "It seems that I should go out and relax so that I can get into the right state as soon as possible. I will be carrying out the mission in two days. I have to get back into the right state as soon as possible," Ma Duo said thoughtfully after listening to Kivi's words.
They walked out of the hospital leisurely and chatted casually.
