Chapter 200: Vermouth: It hurts both above and below!

He greeted Miyano Akemi:

"I'm going to take a call!"

Miyano Akemi gently stroked the coffee table with one hand, and upon hearing this, she returned a smile:

"Go ahead."

As Hoshino Ki turned to leave, Miyano Akemi's expression became somewhat subtle.

The smile on her face faded, and she looked up, staring fixedly at Hoshino Ki's back.

Why was there always someone coming to disturb their date?

Hoshino Ki had just picked up the phone when a series of hurried gasps came from the other end:

"Louis!"

"!!!"

It was Vermouth!

"What's wrong?"

Hoshino Ki's pitch-black eyes paused slightly.

"Save me... my house!"

The gasping grew louder.

"Beep, beep..."

The call was hung up.

Hoshino Ki's pitch-black eyes sank a little.

He happened to be near Vermouth's house, but Miyano Akemi was here...

To just leave her behind like this, was it a bit too heartless?

Hoshino Ki hesitated for a moment, but in the end, Vermouth's situation took precedence.

The sound coming from the phone didn't sound like anything good.

As for Miyano Akemi, he could compensate her next time.

By comparison, Vermouth needed him more right now; he had to go save her!

Although Miyano Akemi wasn't looking directly at Hoshino Ki,

she had been watching him out of the corner of her eye the whole time.

Seeing Hoshino Ki walk over, Miyano Akemi looked up, only to find his expression wasn't very good.

"Ki! What's wrong?"

"Something with the Organization."

Hoshino Ki paused for a moment, giving Miyano Akemi time to react, then continued:

"I have to go!"

Miyano Akemi was silent for a few seconds, then revealed a worried look:

"It's okay, Ki. Organization matters are important. Let me take you."

Hoshino Ki shook his head:

"No need, I'll take a taxi. You continue choosing."

Miyano Akemi's smile was still as gentle as before.

But a trace of displeasure flickered in her blue eyes.

She was unhappy!

Hoshino Ki walked a little closer to her.

He reached out and took her hand, his thumb rubbing the back of her hand twice.

"Go straight home after you're done choosing. I'll be back early."

The resentment in Miyano Akemi's heart was instantly smoothed over by this intimate little gesture.

Hoshino Ki's pitch-black eyes seemed to have a magical power.

Anyone stared at by him would turn into a puddle.

His cold, clear voice was also like herbal tea, capable of calming one's mind.

Miyano Akemi even heard a hint of doting and indulgence in that voice.

It was hard not to be moved.

Not to mention she had already been moved long ago!

The anger in Miyano Akemi's heart vanished instantly, leaving only pure sweetness.

So Ki cared about her this much; he would even coax her when she was angry.

Miyano Akemi was happy.

The smile on her face couldn't be hidden at all.

She raised her other hand to cover the back of Hoshino Ki's hand, her eyes filled with soft light as she said:

"Go then. Are you really sure you don't need me to take you?"

Hoshino Ki remained expressionless.

No emotion could be seen in his deep, pitch-black eyes.

"No need, you'll be very tired."

Miyano Akemi's cheeks flushed red.

Hoshino Ki was caring for her.

A man who worked seriously was truly so handsome!

Seeing Hoshino Ki's attitude was so firm, Miyano Akemi could only give up.

After Hoshino Ki left, she no longer had the mood to continue shopping.

She checked out and left after picking out clothes and daily necessities for Hoshino Ai.

She had originally been choosing slowly on purpose just to spend more time with Hoshino Ki.

Now that he was gone, there was nothing left to look at.

Hoshino Ki took a taxi to the front of Vermouth's house.

He got out of the car and arrived at her door.

Before he could even put his hand on the doorknob, he was pulled inside by the person within.

Hoshino Ki instantly pulled out a small knife and pressed it against the other person's neck.

"Hiss!"

Vermouth?

Hoshino Ki was seen holding Vermouth's hands above her head with one hand.

His other hand held the small knife against her fair, tender neck.

At this moment, Vermouth actually had a bewitching expression on her face.

Her blue eyes met Hoshino Ki's pitch-black eyes.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell if she was a demon or a human.

"What are you doing?"

Hoshino Ki frowned slightly, staring intently at the fairy-like woman before him.

"And you? What is this all about?"

Vermouth wasn't angry because she was at a disadvantage.

On the contrary, her face was full of playfulness.

"You're hurting me!"

A hint of grievance leaked from those blue pupils.

"..."

Hoshino Ki put away the knife, let go of her, and took a step back.

He intended to put some distance between them, but who knew Vermouth would be so persistent.

Her boneless-seeming body tipped over in the direction Hoshino Ki had moved.

Hoshino Ki subconsciously opened his arms and caught her.

A waist that could be spanned by one's hands, a bewitching and charming scent.

"Don't you miss me?"

Vermouth raised her arms to circle Hoshino Ki's neck.

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, and the warm breath from her mouth hit Hoshino Ki's neck mercilessly.

"!!!"

Hoshino Ki's pitch-black pupils shrank slightly.

Goosebumps rose all over his body, and his hair stood on end.

He gripped his hands tightly.

"Ah! Be gentle!"

Vermouth's eyes flickered, and she let out a cry of surprise:

"You're using too much force!"

"Are you not injured?"

Hoshino Ki knitted his brows and stared straight at her.

His pitch-black gaze was filled with...

"Who said I wasn't injured? It hurts right here!"

Hoshino Ki followed Vermouth's gaze to her big breasts.

"Disgusting, where are you looking!? It's below!"

Vermouth covered her big breasts, her face full of feigned anger.

Hoshino Ki paused slightly.

His gaze shifted further down.

Just as he was about to see something,

Vermouth pounced on him again.

Hoshino Ki picked her up and walked toward the bedroom.

Another exquisite and peerless game!

"You lied to me?"

Hoshino Ki sat at the head of the bed with a cold face.

"Who said I lied to you? My heart really does hurt!"

Vermouth sat obediently beside Hoshino Ki.

"It doesn't hurt now?"

Seeing that she was fine, Hoshino Ki got out of bed and started putting on his clothes.

"It doesn't hurt now, but if you leave, it will hurt again."

Vermouth lay lazily on the bed.

Her expression was bewitching and charming, just like a lazy Persian cat.

Hoshino Ki's hand, which was buttoning his shirt, paused slightly.

He looked up at Vermouth.

Just then,

a message notification sounded on Hoshino Ki's phone.

He picked up the phone and looked.

It was a message from Mouri Ran.

"Ki! Why didn't you come to school today? Are you not feeling well?"

"The taekwondo competition tomorrow morning, you promised me you'd come to watch me compete. Do you remember?"

Hoshino Ki hadn't forgotten.

This was an invitation Mouri Ran had made while they were eating last time.

Since he had promised, there was no reason not to go.

He had to go!

"I haven't forgotten, I will definitely go!"

Mouri Ran sent another long string of messages back:

"The competition starts at 9 AM tomorrow. When are you coming over? I'll wait for you at the school gate."

Hoshino Ki replied:

"Don't wait for me, I'll go straight to the competition venue!"

After sending this message,

Mouri Ran didn't reply for a long time.

Hoshino Ki turned off the phone screen and put it in his pants pocket.

Just as he intended to look up and speak to Vermouth, his ringtone suddenly rang.

He didn't rush to take out his phone, but instead met Vermouth's gaze.

"What's wrong? Answer the phone?"

This scene was also familiar.

Hoshino Ki was slightly distracted, his pitch-black eyes staring straight at Vermouth.

"Louis, why aren't you answering the phone?"

Vermouth laughed softly.

That hazy, bewitching look made one's back feel cold.

This call...

He couldn't answer it, at least not in front of her!

Hoshino Ki took out his phone and hung up the call directly.

Then, with a tap of his finger, he sent another text message:

"It's not convenient for me to answer the phone right now. Is there anything else you wanted to say?"

After Hoshino Ki hung up the phone, Mouri Ran never called again.
