Chapter 140 You Finally Called Me Sister Again (23)

I don't know how long I slept.

When Akikawa Sosuke woke up from his sleep, it was already night outside the hospital.

Because the wound on his neck was sutured, Akikawa Sosuke could still feel bursts of pain coming from his neck when he turned his neck.

Of course, this level of injury was already commonplace for Akikawa Sosuke, and he didn't care too much about it.

After he turned his gaze away from the window, he noticed that there was a woman lying beside his bed.

With the bright moonlight streaming in from the window, Akikawa Sosuke could clearly see the other person's chestnut braid tied into a ponytail at the back of her head.

"It's Okino Yoko."

Akikawa Sosuke thought in his heart.

After this period of time together,
And two days ago at the film festival, Okino Yoko rushed over and pulled herself away from Horita Yoshitoki's office regardless of the danger.
Akikawa Sosuke could see that Okino Yoko really cared about him.

If she was just an ordinary sister who cared about her younger brother, it would be fine.

Obviously, Yoko Okino is not what the public thinks she is, a silly and innocent girl like the heroine in morning dramas.

Of course, Akikawa Sosuke also doesn't think that a naive idol can become Japan's top female star in just six or seven years after her high school debut.

Akikawa Sosuke had no intention of exploring Yoko Okino's secret.

It was enough for him to know that Yoko Okino would not harm him.

"Come to think of it, since Okino Yoko is here, then Ms. Itakura will probably have to take the blame again."

Akikawa Sosuke couldn't help but think in his heart.

In fact, the agent Miss Itakura Misaki is the most unlucky person in this incident.

In order to allow Toda Kyoushi to show up and find me, I deliberately sent Itakura Misaki away.

And after she was hospitalized for self-harm, Itakura Misaki must have taken her anger out on Okino Yoko.

Just as Akigawa Sosuke was thinking about this, he saw Okino Yoko, who was lying on the side of his bed, slowly straighten up.

After a while.

Two pairs of identical blue eyes met each other's gaze in mid-air.

Yoko Okino looked startled at first, then quickly turned around, took out a dressing mirror, and checked her makeup in the mirror.

"You don't want me to find out that she just cried."

Akikawa Sosuke thought to himself as he looked at the bed sheet beside him which had become darker in color due to being soaked.

"Xiao Xiaokong, you're awake. Why don't you rest for a while?"

"Your neck is injured, so try not to move it."

Yoko Okino quickly recovered from her slight panic and spoke to Sosuke Akikawa in a gentle tone.

"it is good."

Akikawa Sosuke answered.

Perhaps she noticed that Akikawa Sosuke was no longer sleepy, so Okino Yoko asked about his condition with concern.

While chatting with Yoko Okino.

Akikawa Sosuke noticed that Yoko Okino seemed to want to say something but hesitated several times.

He was obviously struggling internally as to whether or not he should ask me about what happened this time.

Finally, Yoko Okino seemed to have made a decision and decided to give up asking.

At this time, Akikawa Sosuke took the initiative to speak:

"I was once again identified as the murderer of my mother's car accident, and the detective wanted to force me to confess."

After Akikawa Sosuke finished speaking, he noticed that the mature and gentle expression on Okino Yoko's face that she always showed to him froze in an instant. Her eyes widened for a moment, and then quickly changed her expression.

Genuine surprise usually doesn't stay on your face for more than a second.

The fact that Yoko Okino quickly covered her expression showed that her heart was filled with turmoil because of her own words.

"How. How could this happen?"

"It's too much. It's just too much."

Akikawa Sosuke heard the unclear murmurs unconsciously uttered by Okino Yoko's thin lips.

I also noticed that the inside of Yoko Okino's eyebrows drooped slightly, her mouth was closed, and her lower lip curled inward for a moment.

These are all manifestations of anger.

It is very normal for a sister who cares about her younger brother to show anger after knowing that her younger brother has been wronged and hurt.

But what concerned Akikawa Sosuke was that.

Whether Yoko Okino was surprised or angry, she was deliberately concealing her emotions.

"You don't want to show negative emotions in front of me?"

'Are you afraid that I'll worry? Or do you have other concerns?'

Just as Akikawa Sosuke was guessing what Okino Yoko was intending, he suddenly noticed that Okino Yoko's palm was trembling slightly.

Akikawa Sosuke reached out and grasped Okino Yoko's hand.

I saw that Yoko Okino's expression showed a moment of surprise, but she did not show any rejection because of my action of grabbing her hand.

"Sister Yoko, your hands are very cold."

Akikawa Sosuke smiled at Okino Yoko.

There is also a certain connection between changes in human body temperature and emotions.

For example, when people feel fear,
The body may go into a fight-or-flight response, with blood flowing away from the skin's surface toward the muscles and internal organs, which may cause the skin's surface temperature to drop.

Or when you feel anxious,
Continued feelings of anxiety may cause slight changes in body temperature regulation, especially in extremities such as hands and feet, which may feel cool.

Sadness and shock can also cause a temporary drop in body temperature.

But for someone like Yoko Okino, whose palms remain constantly cold, it can only be due to fear and anxiety.

These two emotions often arise at the same time, and the micro-expressions shown by Yoko Okino at this moment are also consistent with this point.

Akikawa Sosuke tried to make Okino Yoko open her heart to him with his words.

But he never expected that after hearing what he said, Yoko Okino would stand there in a daze.

On her delicate and flawless face, there appeared for a moment an expression as if a little girl had finally found her long-lost, extremely precious doll.

The deep blue eyes, which had been slightly red and swollen from crying, were instantly filled with tears.

Yoko Okino bit her lower lip stubbornly, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.

However, tears still slid uncontrollably down her porcelain-white cheeks like beads that had broken off the string.

"Hey, Sister Yoko, what's wrong with you?"

Akikawa Sosuke looked as if he was frightened and spoke in panic.

Then she felt that Yoko Okino's hand, which was held in her palm, suddenly exerted force and tightly clenched her hand.

At the same time, Yoko Okino used her other arm to wipe the tears that were still oozing from the corners of her eyes.

Then, voices that clearly conveyed joyful cries were heard in the small ward.

"Xiaokong, you finally called me 'sister' again."
