As a real wine, I developed a bottle of fake wine

On the way here, Vodka had briefed her about Bourbon's information, but she never expected... President Bourbon's appearance.

For two seconds, Nanasheng's scalp felt a little numb, and he froze in place, almost forgetting where he was.

She didn't hide the shock in her heart until she was brought back to her senses by the vodka. She rubbed her face, ignored Belmode's interested gaze, and walked to the booth as nonchalantly as possible.

It was designed with a half-circle of soft sofas surrounding the glass low table in the middle. Belmode sat carelessly in the center, and Bourbon was on her left, not too far away, and at most one person could sit beside her.Nana glanced quickly.

If one sat to the woman's right, one of the gin and vodka was bound to sit beside her.

She was in the mood to kill gin now, even looking at vodka was not pleasing to the eye, Nanasheng instinctively refused to sit there, and before turning her head around, she finally walked to Bourbon and sat down.

The latter looked at her slightly in surprise, but said nothing.

"What do you want?" The waiter immediately approached.He knew that the group of people in front of him were all high-level people, and they were extraordinarily attentive.

Nanasheng's heart was in a mess, and his tone was not very good: "No need."

The waiter was a young man, and he flinched when he heard this: "Yes, I'm sorry to bother you."

Then tremblingly went to the side of the gin.

As expected, he shivered again from the cold, and ran back behind the bar with shaking legs.

Nanasheng has always lowered his brows and eyes since he sat down, playing with his mobile phone in an absent-minded manner.I pressed my fingers on the lock screen button a few times, and held back the impulse at the critical moment.

She tried not to look at the man sitting next to her from the corner of her eye, but just after she casually answered the words, she felt that Bourbon's originally relaxed demeanor suddenly froze for a moment.

illusion?

Nanasheng subconsciously gripped the phone tightly.

Or...he really responds to her voice.

Nanasheng looked as if he was in a trance, but in fact, all his senses were focused on Bo himself. From the moment he saw him, the goosebumps did not go down.

Fugu Ling's appearance is so recognizable that she couldn't even convince herself that it was a coincidence.

"There are so many seats here." Belmode patted his right side and teased, "Why do you have to sit next to Bourbon?"

Nanasheng didn't raise her head, and sneered, "I'm not interested in breaking up other people."

Vodka looked at the expression on the face that gin could freeze people to death, and moved to the corner very winkingly.

The low table in the middle made a muffled sound at the same time Nanasheng's voice fell, and Bourbon's face was quite ugly, "Sorry, I accidentally touched it."

Then how can I accidentally encounter the sound that can be sent out.

Vodka looked at the heavy solid table in front of him, thought of the glass plate above it was dangling just now, wanted to ask Bourbon who messed with him again, and felt that it was not the right time to speak.

The few people sitting there were more difficult to mess with than one.And except for Belmode, the mysterious woman with a poker face on her face, the other three looked in a bad mood.

Vodka felt he was out of luck.

Nana was stunned again after hearing Bourbon's voice.

She couldn't hold back.

How come the voice is so similar...

It is slightly lower than Jiang Gu Ling's voice.But as soon as you hear it, you know that it's just a subtle change brought about by age.

If you close your eyes, the person sitting next to her is completely zero.

It seems to be the same when I open my eyes.

The warm, moving and talking Jiang Gu Ling.

Nanasheng was in a complicated mood and a little irritable, forcing himself to suppress the too strong sense of sight.

"Icewine, let me introduce you." Ginjiu took a deep look at the two of them, "He is Bourbon, you just returned to China, let him act with you during this time."

"Well, Bourbon is very careful, you can come to him for anything." Belmode answered, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, "As a partner, it should be better than rye whiskey."

Vodka: "..."

easy to use...

Because of the mention of that name, Gin and Bourbon turned dark at the same time.And Nanasheng also frowned because of Gin's words: "Huh?"

"No need..." She wanted to look at Bourbon, but stopped halfway through her turn, and refused bluntly, "I'm not used to acting with other people."

"I'm afraid not—this is what the lord meant, saying that he wanted to find someone to accompany you." Belmode said unhurriedly, "He cares about you very much."

As soon as Nanasheng heard her mentioning that person, she knew that there was no room for resistance. She stopped talking and her expression was cold.After sitting for a while, as if he couldn't bear the atmosphere here, he got up and went to the bathroom.

"Before I came, I didn't hear that today's good show was also related to me." After she left her seat, Toru Amuro narrowed his eyes and looked at Belmode, "Can you explain?"

"Bourbon, you were in a bad mood just now." Belmode asked back, "Have you met Icewine in the past?"

"No..." Toru Amuro denied it without even thinking about it, "If I had seen her, I would have left a deep impression on her. I don't remember seeing her."

He took the initiative to fill in the explanation later, and Belmode no longer doubted, "That's right, she has been abroad all these years, and you have no chance to meet."

"Bourbon, keep an eye on her." Gin's eyes were dark, "She will definitely find a way to avoid you and go to Shirley."

"Shirley? What is the relationship between the escaped researcher and her?" Toru Amuro keenly caught something wrong, "You sent me to monitor Icewine because you suspected her?"

"Doubt is not enough. It's just that there have been some accidents recently." Belmode shook the glass, watched the ice cube hit the glass wall, and smiled, "Our eldest lady used to be a very good knife. But The organization has lost her handle now. The knife has become less controllable... Bourbon, you have to be one step ahead of her to find our escaped little mouse."

"As long as Shirley is alive, they will definitely find a way to communicate with each other. So don't let her have the opportunity to act alone without your sight. Bourbon, your personality is most suitable for this task."

If it was changed to gin or vodka to follow Nanasheng all day long, the effect would be terrible.

"Uh..." Toru Amuro was silent for a few seconds, "Wouldn't it be better to let the female members go?"

"Unfortunately..." Belmode spread his hands, "Curacao and Chianti are currently performing other tasks, and Keel has a job, so he can't stay with Icewine for a long time. And her identity is too easy to be followed by the media , the eldest lady has a special status, it's better not to appear in the public eye as much as possible."

"Uh..." Amuro Toru's eyes clearly said - isn't there still you?

Belmode smiled: "I don't want to take such a troublesome job."

Nanasheng was once thrown into her care when she was a child.At that time, Belmode put her in the care of Miyano Akemi who was also young because he thought it was troublesome——

Anyway, Miyano Shiho and Nana were about the same age. Wouldn't having more Nana mean having more mouths to eat?

So she quite naturally dumped Nana to Akemi Miyano.

Thinking about it now, the three of them ended up with such a relationship, as if she still deserved it.

Belmode thought indifferently.

After Nana walked into the bathroom, she immediately turned on her phone.

Could it be that the man code-named Bourbon is the game prototype of Furutani Rei...

She could think of no other explanation than that.

Too many things happened in the past 24 hours, and Nanasheng's mind was in a mess. The only thing that was certain was that although the man sitting next to her just now had the same face as Zero, his personality was completely different.

Quickly flipping to the game app, Nanasheng's fingertips trembled a little when he clicked on it to activate it.

She still couldn't bear to uninstall "My Working Boyfriend".

The meaning of Jiang Gu Ling to her has long been different.The emotion she pinned on Zero far surpassed the level of the game character, and it was not at all that she could really make up her mind to leave him by saying that it is not time to play the game.

What happened to Mingmei and Zhibao, she really didn't want to go online again, but that was not something that could be solved by uninstalling a game.

So Nanasheng canceled the delete operation at the last moment, turned off the phone and went to catch the plane.

Bourbon's appearance was something she hadn't expected.

Sitting next to him just now, many speculations flashed in Nanasheng's heart.

Combined with the abnormality of the game mentioned by Miyano Shiho earlier, and her instruction to be careful, Nana really began to wonder if all this was a conspiracy for a moment.

Turn Bourbon into a character in the game, and use this method to get close to her?

baffling.

And why go to all that trouble?

No matter what, Nanasheng couldn't connect Fuguya Rei with the organization. Just making such a guess made her feel sick to her stomach.

She waited for the game to start filled with depression.

When the page loads, apologize to Zero for missing his graduation.

After confirming that there is nothing abnormal, she may be able to continue to get along with Furuya Rei and Bourbon as two people.

Nana felt a dull pain in her temples again.

She knew it was impossible to act as if nothing had happened.But at least at this moment, more than ever, she expected to see Ling Gu Ling stay in that room well.

It doesn't matter if you get angry with her or ignore her, as long as Zero remains the original Zero, then at least one part of her messy world remains intact.

Akemi is gone, and Shiho is nowhere to be found... But at least, Rei Fuguya is still there.

When Nanasheng gave up uninstalling the game, he had unknowingly regarded Zero as the last island that could be docked.

He didn't care about her background, didn't know her identity, but he was the only one who would tell her that I never thought of doubting you.

How could she be willing to leave him?

Nanasheng came back to his senses, looked down through the phone screen, and saw his red eyes.

She was stunned for a long time before realizing that it was because the screen of the phone automatically went black at some point.

No, not a black screen.

She's still stuck on the game's startup page.

But this loading time is too long...

Nanasheng came to his senses, took a sharp breath, and poked his finger on the screen for a long time, but the system did not respond.

Maybe it's just a jam, she comforted herself, and long pressed to turn off the phone.

With too much force, the fingertips turned white.

After restarting, click on the familiar icon again, this time it was still stuck on the startup page, Nanasheng didn't dare to shut down again, waited for a full minute, the game automatically closed, and the screen returned to the main screen.

The icon also darkened, no matter how much she clicked, it would not give any response.

"Do not make jokes……"

After a few seconds of silence, Nana murmured.

She gritted her teeth suddenly, and punched heavily on the marble countertop of the sink.

Nanasheng rinsed off the blood on his knuckles with cold water, and after drying, he went out of the bathroom and walked back to his seat, but did not sit down.

Belmode was teasing the expressionless gin again, and Vodka tried to reduce his sense of existence, pretending not to understand certain hints in Belmode's words.

And Bourbon sat on the seat and looked at the phone, looking bored. Seeing her coming back, he raised his eyes and glanced at her casually.

Nanasheng avoided looking at him, put his hands in the wide pockets of the windbreaker, and looked directly at Belmode, "I will leave after I finish talking."

She looked tired and obviously had no interest in staying here.

Originally, the main goal of tonight was to let this pair of future partners meet. Now that the task has been completed, Belmode has no reason to keep her. He pushed Bourbon out, and said in a slightly raised tone: "Get along well."

After she finished speaking, Gin had already taken out the cigarette case.

It was clear that he had been waiting for her to leave.

Nana frowned, turned and walked towards the entrance.The door of the bar is soundproof and made of thick material. She pushed it open with a little effort, but before she could let go, she caught a glimpse of another person coming out of the door after her out of the corner of her eye.

Didn't he even know to reach out and give her a hand?

Nanao thought of Miyano Shiho's evaluation of Bourbon - a guy who likes to put on airs, curled his lips.

Shiho's assessment was not accurate.At least Bourbon didn't even seem to be bothering to pretend in front of her.

is completely different from zero.

Her eyes darkened.

The entrance to the bar is located on the ground floor, and if you want to go out, you have to go up one floor. Nanasheng walked in front without turning her head. Hearing the unhurried footsteps of Bourbon behind her, she felt that Youdao's eyes were always on her body.

Walking up the last step, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned her head while holding on to the railing, "What are you looking at?"

Unexpectedly, she would stop suddenly. Bourbon followed her on the steps two steps behind her, subconsciously moved his gaze up, and met Nanasheng's gaze looking back.

Nana was briefly absent-minded looking into those light gray eyes.

When I was at the bar just now, there was still pure coldness in those eyes, gray with a sense of coldness, without any emotion.

But at this moment, I don't know if it's because of the light, the faint blue-purple color in the eyes finally revealed, which actually gave her an illusion of tenderness.

Bourbon's face showed little sign of age.

Nanasheng recalled the vodka on the way here and the information she briefly told. Bourbon should be 28 years old now.

Just like the nearly 23-year-old Rei Furutani still looks like a high school student, if the 28-year-old Bourbon wears a police uniform, he can probably immediately sneak into the police academy and pretend to be Rei Furutani without being suspected.

Nana always thought that the two-dimensional painting style was the reason for the fact that Zero in the game did not change in appearance during those five years. Now that he saw Bourbon, he realized that such a person actually existed in reality.

It was only then that Bourbon finally came back to his senses, the temperature in his eyes quickly faded, and Nanasheng was finally sure that it was not an illusion just now.

What did he think of to show that expression.

"I'm looking at the snow." Bourbon said, neither cold nor cold.

If Belmode or Miyano Shiho were present, they would probably have noticed that Bourbon's attitude towards Nana was obviously wrong.

He hardly spoke actively, and he was quite concise when responding to Nanasheng's words, as if... he was deliberately avoiding any communication with her.

But Nanai didn't understand Bourbon's character, and thought he had always been like this.

When she heard his words and turned her head, she realized that it was snowing outside.

It was just pure cold when it came, and I don't know when it started to fall.The goose-feathered snow fell from the night sky, and a layer was accumulated on the ground in a short period of time, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

The biting cold wind was blowing towards the face wrapped in icy snowflakes, Nanasheng instinctively shrank his neck, feeling his face was scratched.

The clothes she brought back from Los Angeles were obviously not thick enough, and she was a little numb from the cold after only a few steps outside.

"I can't see that you are the kind of person who likes snowy days." Nanasheng rubbed his arms and mocked lightly.

"No..." Bourbon had already walked in front of her, and his tall figure inadvertently blocked a lot of wind and snow for her.

Nanasheng was indeed a little bit unbearable from the cold, so he walked behind him with peace of mind, and heard Bourbon say after a few seconds, "I hate snow days."

Nana was taken aback.

If someone else said such a thing, she couldn't think much about it.

But this is a bourbon that looks exactly like Zero Jiang Gu.

She was stunned for a few seconds, then answered the words instinctively: "Then you are very lucky, anyway, such a heavy snowfall is not common in Tokyo. In my impression, there was a particularly big one 11 years ago..."

Bourbon stopped so abruptly that Nanasheng almost ran into him.

"11 years ago?" Bourbon turned his head, his eyes flashed, and he quickly regained his composure, "It's not that uncommon. There was a lot of snow in the winter two years ago, and the young lady probably stayed abroad. too long?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Nanasheng's thin windbreaker, apparently finding evidence for his words.

Nana: "..."

"Please don't think too much, I just think it's not easy to drive in snow." Bourbon finally explained by himself, with a distant tone.

Looking at his back, Nanasheng slowly frowned.

Going forward is a bustling commercial street. She felt that the atmosphere was really weird. Seeing that Bourbon was about to turn right at the intersection, she seized the opportunity and said, "I will take a taxi by myself. Contact me for a mission."

Bourbon didn't make a sound, and moved his right hand in his pocket, and the sound of the vehicle unlocking came not far away.

Nanasheng followed the sound and looked over, a white sports car turned on its lights in the dark.

Mazda RX-7...

A famous car called the Spirit of Zero.

The last time Nanao saw this car was when he was with Furutani Rei.

At that time, they heard many specific introductions about this car from Hagiwara, who was very enthusiastic about cars.

At that time Fugu Rei couldn't drive yet, but Nanasheng could see that he seemed to like this car with a similar nickname to his own.

She recalled the conversation about the snowy day just now, and suddenly a somewhat absurd idea popped up.

Bourbon looked at her: "I'll take you off. Address?"

Nanasheng thought of the glass of wine that had been placed on the table before she came, and reached out to him: "Let me open it."

"...?"

"Drunk driving will be arrested by the police uncle." She added casually.

Bourbon pursed his lips slightly, wondering if he was concentrating at the moment, and didn't react much when he heard her words.

"Sorry, I don't like other people driving my car."

Nanasheng stared at Bourbon fixedly, feeling gradually disappointed in his heart.

She withdrew her hand and walked to the co-pilot. When she was about to open the car door, she heard Bourbon say, "I didn't drink that glass of wine."

He seemed to just explain casually, and sat in the driver's seat, but Nanasheng was stunned for two seconds before getting in.

Bourbon drives very steadily, and the speed of the car is just stuck on the speed limit. On the wet and slippery road in heavy snow, it is quite a test of skill to do this.

Coupled with the fact that he refuses to drink and drive, this hot new cadre of the organization seems to be unexpectedly abiding by the law.

The experience of sitting in the Bourbon car is much better than that of the Gin Porsche. Without the lingering tobacco smell, Nanasheng's nose is finally liberated.

She leaned her elbows against the window, against the side of her face, and looked out of the window silently.

Bourbon never spoke.In the silence, the senses became inexplicably sharp.

Nanasheng quickly discerned the faint breath on the wave itself in the breath.

It's the fresh and clean smell of softener, mixed with the faint leather smell of the seat itself, it doesn't have a strong sense of presence, but once you realize it, it's hard to ignore it.

Nana was a little surprised.

Only then did she notice that the bourbon didn't have the same tobacco smell as the gin and Belmode.

He doesn't smoke?

This is so rare in an organization.

Nana looked at Bourbon's profile from the corner of his eye.The latter stared straight ahead, turned the steering wheel with one hand, and drove it quickly and steadily, but seemed a little absent-minded.

He was thinking about things again.

Nana observed quietly, and then suddenly realized that her interpretation of Bourbon's micro-expressions seemed to be based on her understanding of Furutani Rei.

The thought just now popped up again.

Nanao recalled the short description of Bourbon that Shiho had mentioned to her.

"Are you still using that shampoo?"

"Nothing, it's just that someone mentioned that sign to me today."

"That's the bourbon."

shampoo……

She only liked that one the most, and not only gave it to Shiho, but she also bought a bottle to put in Furutani Rei's bathroom.

After he quit the apartment and moved to the police academy, he took those things with him.

In addition, I hate snow, drive RX-7, my age and appearance match, I recognize that shampoo, and I even respond to her voice.

The more Nanasheng thought about it, the more ridiculous it became.

No way……
