The Gemini Princess wants me to confess my feelings!

Chapter 151 Tonight

Suddenly, a gentle breeze transformed into the intent of a sword, severing the youthful spirit of my twenty years.

In his previous life, Song Xinyuan held the same ideals as Ruyue Shiori in this life, but now that Song Xinyuan was middle-aged, his ideals had been worn down to the thinnest paper.

Until time reversed, and he was a teenager again, he met Shiori Kisaragi, and the extinguished embers in his heart were finally rekindled by her.

Although he didn't say it, he always felt proud inside.

All of Song Xinyuan's abilities and knowledge, along with his foresight and many valuable experiences from the parallel world, were brought to this world.

A younger, more talented body, while also inheriting all the experience, memories, and ways of thinking.

With so many things, Kirihara Akira would become greedy.

He just wanted a perfect life.

This is greed, but Kirihara Akira just felt he could do it.

Kirihara Akatsuki lowered her eyes and said, "I thought you were the same as me."

"I understand, I completely understand. I wasn't lying to you before," Shiori Kisaragi said. "I understand how you feel, but people who pursue perfection are either crazy or foolish, and neither of them will live long."

Kirihara Akatsuki's brow furrowed in anger as she said, "I just want everyone to be happy, what's wrong with that?"

"That's right," Shiori Kisaragi said.

Kirihara Akira suddenly stood up and said, "I really think you'll support me."

Kisaragi Shiori spoke gently, like a mother, saying, "I will support you, but you have time, and I have time too. Please don't rush."

"It's not a matter of time, it's a matter of opportunity," Kirihara Akira said. "I can't just sit there doing nothing and watch one opportunity after another slip away."

Kisaragi Shiori said, "You and I are basically the same, with only one difference."

"Why are we different? We should be the same," Kirihara Akira asked angrily.

"Because I am a woman," Shiori Kisaragi said. "Not only at work, but throughout my life, I have seen countless opportunities that should have been mine slip away, just because I am a woman. Those opportunities would go looking for someone more suitable, and I watched as time was wasted little by little."

More than twenty years have passed. Are you resentful? Of course you are. Is it fair? Absolutely not.

Shiori Kisaragi gazed intently at Akira Kirihara and said, "But I'm still here, still on my way, and I've still become someone I'm proud of. Akira, you're much smarter and more capable than me. Tell me, if it weren't a matter of time, why couldn't you wait?"

Please forgive me, I'm not lecturing you, I don't have the right. I just want to tell you that you may have gone astray, and I urge you to stop for a moment.

Kirihara Akira choked up. He had many reasons, but if he were to express them aloud, it would be as if he were to reveal all his deepest thoughts.

Kirihara Akira closed her eyes.

He felt his anxiety melt away.

Like a handful of warm water, gentle yet strong and unyielding, slowly melting everything away.

He just still can't accept it.

I can't accept that I'm regressing as I get older.

What is preventing him from letting go?

It was probably a feeling of resentment and shame towards oneself.

How could my mindset have such a big problem?

Yeah, why are I in such a hurry?

Kirihara Akira thought about it carefully for a long time, came up with a general idea, and thought of some possibilities.

Perhaps it's because he has lost time, knows how precious this ever-flowing gold is, and knows what time can actually accomplish.

No, that's probably just an excuse.

Kirihara Akatsuki was simply "insecure".

He not only regarded the underworld and Shan Ronghai as enemies.

His "enemies" also include the Mori family.

He wanted to redeem not only Shiori Kisaragi, but also the two most adorable girls in the Mori family.

To rescue... or rather, to gain even a modicum of ability to fight back against a behemoth like the Mori family, would require an immense amount of effort.

Thinking about it, the source of my impatience today should be my wife.

The lady had been putting pressure on Kirihara Akira. During that meeting, she used Kirihara Akira's high regard for the twins to blackmail him into attending tonight's party.

What did he encounter today?

That end was a mystery, and behind it lay a deadly move. He really didn't know who to believe. Kirihara Akira was desperate to regain the initiative.

Kirihara Akira is not a blindly trusting person, but at this moment, he should actually trust Mori Akari instead.

Akari Mori wouldn't resort to such despicable means.

After tonight's assassination attempt, he knew that if he continued to live a leisurely life, it might be too late for everything later.

But... Shiori Kisaragi is right.

Kirihara Akira actually has plenty of time. Seizing an opportunity is not the same as speculation. If he is too hasty, everything will be ruined.

He turned and said, "I'm going back now. I promise you, I won't do anything until I've convinced you, and I will never lie to you or answer 'I'm doing it'."

Shiori Kisaragi grabbed Akira Kirihara's arm again, and through her iris, it seemed she could see Akira's heart, which was about to shatter.

"Stay with me, please?" Shiori Kisaragi looked at him almost pleadingly, her eyes welling up with tears, and said, "Just one night. If you miss anything because of this one night, I'll make it up to you with myself, okay?"

Kirihara Akira turned to look at Kisaragi Shiori, and seeing her bright eyes, knew that she didn't believe in herself.

At this point, any explanation would be futile.

No matter what he says at this moment, Kisaragi Shiori will not believe it.

This woman needs security.

What is a sense of security? It's probably the soft warmth of being held in someone's arms.

Kirihara Akira crouched down and stepped over her to the other side of the bed, saying, "Make way for me."

Shiori Kisaragi was stunned for a while, but instead of kicking him off the bed, she actually made room for him.

"I don't know if you'd believe me if I said I couldn't do anything."

"Kisaragi Shiori was speechless."

What should she say?

Does that mean it doesn't really matter what you do?

"If you want me to stay, you have to give me a place to sleep." Kirihara Akira brazenly ignored the empty bed next to him and said, "Go to sleep. I wouldn't do anything to a woman who just got shot. That's an animal, not a human."

"Good night," said Shiori Kisaragi.

"Good night."

After a while, Kirihara Akira suddenly said again, "I'm sorry."

"Thank you."

Kisaragi Shiori responded with only a soft nasal sound. "Mmm."

'

'

'

'

After that, the two stood back to back, without saying a word.

There was no sound in the ward except for the two people's deliberately suppressed breathing.

After a while, Kirihara Akira felt a pair of hands placed between their backs.

"Tonight," she said.

Kirihara Akira turned to the side and took that hand.

"Yes, tonight."
