"The chief cabinet pays?"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi looking at him in surprise, Jingzi lowered his head in embarrassment. But...she soon changed the subject and said to Lin Xiuyi:

"I'd better pour a cup of coffee for Xiu Yijun first, it's so late, you must be very tired!"

"Ah...would it be too much trouble!"

"No trouble, anyway... I want to drink it too!"

...

As Jingzi spoke, he stood up and left the room.

A few minutes later, when Jing Zi returned to the sofa with two cups of coffee, she first knelt on the carpet beside the coffee table, then put the coffee in front of Lin Xiuyi, and then she got up and sat down. On the seat next to him, he picked up the coffee and drank it slowly.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Xiuyi felt a little awkward in the atmosphere in the room. As soon as he thought that he still had work to do, he needed to discuss with Jingzi. So he took the initiative and said:

"That...Actually, I came to visit you tonight, mainly because there is one very important thing I want to tell you..."

"Hey, I'm sorry, actually... I also have something very important to tell Shuichi-kun."

When Lin Xiu heard Jingzi's words, he felt a little puzzled, so he hurriedly asked Jingzi:

"Then... what is it?"

"It's about the former congressman Masashi Hojo. To be honest, I'm actually the daughter of Masashi Hojo..."

"Eh?"

"Looks like... Xiuyi-kun doesn't know about this yet! I'm so sorry, I've been hiding this from you. I originally hoped that you could help me clear my father's grievances for so many years, it seems... We still failed in the end!"

"Wait a minute...I...I don't seem to understand!"

"It doesn't matter, in short... This matter has cost you a lot of energy. If you can't tell you the truth at the last moment, I still feel sorry for it anyway!"

"Ah, it's nothing, it's me who should say sorry, I'm really ashamed for not being able to prove the innocence of your father, Mr. Hojo!"

...

Hearing such surprising news suddenly, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little astonished. So he hurriedly picked up the cup of coffee and wanted to take a sip to relieve himself. At this moment, Lin Xiuyi suddenly slipped the coffee cup into his lap.

"what……"

"Hey...you don't mind! Did you get hot!"

"Ah...it hurts!"

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi accidentally knocked over the coffee, Jingzi quickly picked up the tissue at hand and walked over to help him sort it out. However, just as the two were in a hurry, Jingzi realized that Lin Xiuyi's pants were all wet. This time, the feeling of frustration that was originally due to work, was unexpectedly relieved by Lin Xiuyi's actions just now.

"I'm so sorry, I... I'm so reckless!"

"Well! That... do you want to change..."

"Eh?"

"It's... the last time... when you were drunk and stayed at my house... that suit... I still have it!"

"Ah...that...that's really bothering you!"

Hearing that Jingzi suddenly mentioned the last incident, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but think of the time he stayed at Jingzi's house drunk at night. At that time, Jingzi was still an elite bureaucrat of the Ministry of Justice.

...

When Lin Xiuyi changed into the clothes he left at Jingzi's house a few years ago, he remembered that he still had important things to tell Jingzi. So, Lin Xiu quickly took the pottery bowl he brought out of the box, and then solemnly placed it on the coffee table in front of the two of them.

"This... is the pottery bowl that Mr. Kuroda gave me on a special trip to Sakura no Sato before his death. To be honest, I thought it was just a souvenir, until tonight, I accidentally discovered this pottery bowl. The secret hidden in the bowl, I think it is urgent. I should report it to you..."

"Eh? This... is there anything different?"

Hearing what Lin Xiuyi said, Jingzi immediately picked up the pottery bowl and checked it carefully, but... just looking at it like this, he couldn't see any difference.

"Excuse me, may I borrow your lamp?"

"Well... of course, I'll get it for you!"

When Jingzi finished saying this, he immediately got up and walked into the study. After a while, Jingzi returned to the sofa with a lamp. When the desk lamp was turned on, in order to have a better presentation, Lin Xiuyi turned off the light in the living room.

When the pottery bowl was covered on the lamp, with Lin Xiu's fingers turning, Jingzi quickly discovered the extraordinaryness of the pottery bowl.

"This is……"

"I noticed that the surface of the bowl was uneven, and at first I thought that Mr. Kuroda was not skilled enough. Only now, I found out that he did it on purpose. Because only in this way, the thinner part of the bowl can show Translucent effect. Look... it says Furou and Key, if I guess correctly, Mr. Kuroda must have put something important in a locker in a bathhouse... …”

Hearing that Lin Xiuyi suddenly made a new discovery, Jing Zi's originally gloomy mood suddenly became better. If... what Lin Xiuyi said is true, then the grievances his father has suffered, and the truth that he has been trying to pursue for so many years, maybe... right... now is not the end of the world.

"Repair sauce?"

"Eh?"

When Lin Xiuyi heard Jingzi's call ~lightnovelpub.net~ he put the pottery bowl on the coffee table. A wet lip suddenly touched the corner of Lin Xiuyi's mouth, and then Lin Xiuyi felt that he was suddenly hugged by Jingzi.

Although Lin Xiuyi felt his mind blank for a while, he still instinctively wanted to push Jingzi away. However, when Jingzi's tongue rudely pried Lin Xiuyi's lips open, Lin Xiuyi felt that it became difficult for him to breathe. Afterwards, Lin Xiuyi was pushed to the ground.

"Don't...don't be like this...I..."

After his shirt was ripped apart by Jing Zi, some remaining rationality finally made Lin Xiuyi say something of refusal.

"Did you think...that night two years ago...we didn't do anything?"

"You...what are you talking about?"

"If you want to say sorry, I am the woman you are most sorry for..."

The two words Jing Zifu said in Lin Xiuyi's ear suddenly made Lin Xiuyi no longer have the willpower to resist...
