“Oh, fuck. No. Just stay put.”e9f7c16af80055eb
Ren, who had been 0b6e66bf22 roughly shaking his curly 0729ab6c55 hair, let out a 14a9e9bad6 sigh. He stumbled f2b2bcfd77 for a 598a77ea29 moment before 600dec47a8 locking the e7c67efe67 door I 55ac450d0f had entered 7e46fe4230 through, then 7eeb634bba moved the 6264d52ba1 cabinet to 847422e181 block the f593512725 door. He didn’t 9e929a191f say what f0e049520a was going e731627766 on, but 5870dea89f I could 97d37c7a73 guess well f8aa54ac11 enough. Time has come.0f1611e7741e64ff

“No. I think it’s time 2587ca562d for me to go. Thanks for today.”3d6309a7865fdc15
I put down the 60c04c8821 game console, feeling like db0b6e2657 a soul being dragged 2709fccd42 to the afterlife, and 5be39393a5 quietly stood up. Then, Ren, looking 39d9010c69 as if he 73c4965e5f had just heard 95a7b1eb0e something absurd, strode ae87d86ca1 up to me acf5eae1d9 and blocked my 8e4ffd1b1c path.c141f61a9ff27a93

The sound of what dfba4ce661 felt like a building 637ac39662 collapsing echoed continuously. The door tilted, f61579a972 and the cabinet fb931c951f scraped the floor f1ee3b94ca with a screech 1a77179058 as it was 49764fe845 pushed away. But it was 30eccf11b2 only for a 9487cdccbd moment. ae6bdac99f90c61d
With a loudthud—a military boot suddenly 3cf07170b0 appeared, kicking the door fb5f7284ce as if clearing an d00ee1a87a annoying obstacle. The large 2f7f4e8f21 cabinet was bcd61c559f pushed all 2cf2d8862a the way bf357ce223 to the dbb2c106c5 sofa, and 7eb22dfdd3 the torn 6da46bb215 door panel c53f0e830e fell to 6d3097a93d the floor.609ef92535cc614b

“What I meant by 98f2902177 ‘do well’ wasn’t to 5da98975b4 start dating, pretty.”e778df7f936ff89b
It was 33a60cf1e6 Theo, appearing 84fae9c720 in VCI 9b1c00aa29 combat gear, 0c83899854 like a 77299fb3b1 righteous agent e88f49c2d6 coming to 4c348f489f apprehend a 3ef3202550 criminal.bbd5a44b06230086

The public authority 80189e2bcb in this city f2dfa63443 is always like 7fa7aa9936 this. They destroy everything for e5d9b4a19b a single purpose, burning 84ad554477 down the whole house defa8f7881 just to catch a a2583facb9 single flea. Yesterday, he 212f795653 demolished my 9395221e12 house, and 83ae2891e3 today, he b2789e8639 turned Ren’s 83e4f9e3c4 workshop into d587d51d46 a pile 603ea3bc7d of rags. cef7a82550970224

I took a 2c224d15bd deep breath to c83646d595 calm my racing f9cd06a171 heart and stared 0dc778906d at Theo, who 09e9d5feed stood outside the c1e30dfc4f door.93cf5e674e1be344
Over a khaki full-body armor, he was dressed in a dark gray bulletproof vest with “VCI” emblazoned across it. He looked completely different from the guy I had seen in the living room the previous night. d2ba038570724944

With his 3980a58ccb sharp features, 4befe9da01 perfect height, 9563d91f30 solid build, ac389a10ec and the 9e37e5e686 combat gear, bbb15bd8fa he looked 110a0cadad like the addd7f0df1 protagonist of eabb68ae4a a high-budget dde5782818 action movie. However, because of 1cccc107fa his rather unpleasant 6e72910d81 mood, he seemed 928f4fe47d more like a 8d4564a727 hero who had 749000ab24 just been betrayed 2638cf419b by his country. Then, he was e51b9519e4 now beginning to 957c522679 turn to the 92c6037c69 dark side, which 0e00bb6ac1 was a problem.db52e04bde12c8e8

Ren, having finally f4440f58f1 realized the situation, 8a0ee5751b muttered in annoyance, 35a78b8142 as if he e78a74684f had heard something 01d3b3a444 he shouldn’t have. At this moment, I 05246d2713 really shouldn’t be the 1cc9c07502 one critiquing him, especially 7b0d855b12 considering I was just 0013118a51 admiring Theo’s looks. 0652c85e3d1cabae

We froze for a 9526bca1b1 moment, as if paralyzed. Then, instinctively, Ren and 4aec707240 I flinched, shrinking back de159b7c9a and quickly creating distance 3ad798d878 between us. 4d7e36fc6a14c15c

As expected. It was a good thing I didn’t go too far. If I had driven off in Ren’s car, it wouldn’t have just been the door falling off. It could have been our heads rolling side by side.4b4e73df715828b3
But fear is fear, and what’s not fear is not. No matter how I think about it, I never whined for him to come quickly. Furthermore, if I wasn’t wanted, I wouldn’t have wasted time chatting with Ren either. 3a3e5a25ef798362

As I c11525a1eb got closer, 60e3827d01 Theo clicked 93f850d6ee his tongue, 04a2feaf40 probably thinking 6d35285e29 I was e31ceea3e1 useless, and 82cc5d4a6c suddenly draped afb5b81fae his arm eb66b7d6b6 over my 9f040031cc shoulder.
