Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 823 Disgust

The lights in the hotel room were so dim that it was difficult to see the expression on Mitsusumi's face. After shouting at Kitahara, she leaned slightly to the side and lowered her head. I don't know if she deliberately didn't want her expression to be seen by the male lawyer.

Kitahara didn't expect Misumi to be like this.

For a moment, he was speechless.

Sancheng's body trembled slightly. She seemed to be a conflicted and stubborn person. Her parents committed suicide by burning charcoal at home when she was a child, which caused her great psychological trauma. Therefore, she was always unwilling to express her emotions to others, and she was always willing to hide her inner thoughts.

She has had few friends since she was a child.

Although she was excellent in her studies, she was very quiet during her school days. Because of this, she was not very sociable during her school days. It was common for her to be excluded. It was not until she started working that she put on a smile that she had trained in private, pretended to be talkative to outsiders, and chatted with her colleagues.

To his colleagues at the Institute of Unnatural Causes of Death, Sancheng always seemed optimistic and cheerful.

But in fact, this is not her true appearance.

This was just a barely-there act she put on.

Life with such a mask on is tiring.

Kitahara was the first person she met in front of whom she could express her emotions without any scruples.

Yes, it’s okay to be angry in front of him.

You can laugh out loud in front of him without worrying about your image.

You can express your feelings directly in front of him without thinking too much.

Is Kitahara a considerate person?

No. He sometimes looks like a fool.

It is said that this is to satisfy the girl's childhood fantasy of a gentleman, but that is definitely not the case.

Not to mention, sometimes Kitahara would deliberately play dumb in an attempt to get away with it.

But for some reason, Sancheng felt a sense of peace that he had never felt before while getting along with Kitahara.

He is a reliable person.

He is a trustworthy person.

In front of Kitahara, Sancheng doesn't have to live with a mask.

After graduating from university, she separated from Kitahara because she was going to Kansai for further studies. But the deeper reason was that Misumi herself did not believe that such a relationship could continue. She was afraid of getting deeper into this relationship and still not having a result in the end.

Because of fear, she chose to push away.

Now it seems that this is a naive and irresponsible idea.

Sancheng thought he could live independently like this.

However, once a person has experienced a life without loneliness, can she go back to the way she used to live?

Yes, there's no going back.

It was also because of this that after meeting Kitahara in Kyoto a few months ago, Misumi had a strong impulse for the first time.

Now, Sancheng's heart is filled with a complex mixture of discomfort and regret.

She felt bad because she saw her former lover in such a dangerous situation. She was worried and scared for him. At the same time, because her lover didn't tell her about it, she felt alienated.

The other is regret.

Just now she shouted at Kitahara.

Blame him for not telling her about what happened.

However, in fact, it was me who pushed Kitahara away at the beginning.

What qualifications do I have to talk about him?

Sancheng knew that it was very difficult to restart the past relationship, and now was not the time to talk about it. But at least, at this time, Sancheng wanted to be by Kitahara's side.

She really didn't want to go through the pain of losing someone close to her again.

Sancheng was a little afraid to look at Kitahara. This always stubborn female medical examiner could actually get timid sometimes.

Suddenly, Kitahara's voice rang out:

"I suddenly remembered the first time you got angry at me. It seemed like we were meeting and I was accidentally late. You were in a bad mood because you got a low grade on your final paper. So you started nagging me about etiquette, and you talked about everything from being on time for meetings to the way I should hold chopsticks when eating."

Sancheng was suddenly stunned.

She didn't expect that after getting angry at Bei Yuan, she would hear about their past interactions.

These things happened a long, long time ago.

But it seems like it just happened yesterday.

Memories of the past once again flooded into the mind of the female forensic doctor.

Obviously, I once said -

Never shed tears again and always smile at people.

But at this moment, Sancheng's eyes were really blurred.

She tried to keep her eyes open, trying not to let the damn tears flow out.

I clearly told you that you must not shed tears.

"I know you want to face it with me." Beiyuan said, "But it's really too dangerous. I won't let you bear this kind of danger."

Kitahara's words were very decisive.

But in fact, when Kitahara looked at Sancheng just now, he did feel a little shaken in his heart.

The emotions of the past also flooded into the lawyer's heart in an instant.

However, reason still prevails.

Letting Sancheng get involved would be very irresponsible to her.

Kitahara couldn't possibly do that.

However, when he said this, Kitahara began to doubt his own motives. If this was the real him, then the reason for rejecting Sancheng's involvement was that he was afraid that she would be a hindrance. To put it bluntly, it was a cold calculation of interests. However, when he rejected Sancheng just now, it seemed that another emotion was at work in his heart. It seemed that he was really worried about the safety of the female medical examiner in front of him.

Sancheng didn't know what to say.

Kitahara is right.

That's why I hate myself.

I can't help at all.

I hate myself for being useless.

Sancheng wanted to hug Kitahara, but she didn't know whether it was appropriate for her to do so.

The two of them sat facing each other like this.

It seems like time has gone back to college.

At that time, the two of them often studied together like this.

How nice it would be if time could stay at that time forever.

Misumi thought about the past. She and Kitahara were both top students. When they got tired of reading, the way they relaxed was to look at each other's books. Kitahara looked at the medical books, while she looked at the law books. Then they asked some wild questions, making each other laugh.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, or even in the eyes of the mature self, these are very childish moments, not worth remembering. But it is precisely these meaningless times that have become the most precious memories of the two people in the future.

Even without speaking——

Two people sat quietly in the room——

But it is also a rare sight——

However, soon, even this moment of peace will disappear...
