His lips curled into a faint, enigmatic smirk, while his other free hand tapped rhythmically against the tabletop, making a "thud, thud, thud" sound.
"Does Heine know?" Gin asked with a light chuckle.
Sheila: "……"
The Little Fairy stared blankly at the Silver-haired man opposite [male]: "Hey, hey, hey.. you can't be serious."
The continuous "tap" seemed to shatter his illusions, the trace of a smile in Gin's eyes seemed to mock his naivety, leaving Sheila feeling somewhat desperate.
She tried to persuade him, her tone incredibly sincere: "Whistleblowing is not good!"
Gin blinked innocently, offering no reply.
The man's silver hair was eighty percent dry, the short hair on his crown was completely dry, now casually scattered across his forehead, faintly veiling his eyes.
His green eyes were mostly obscured by his silver bangs, conveying a hint of playfulness that carried no malice, but instead possessed a certain relaxed, unrestrained quality.
Akai Shuichi raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling quite interested in the conversation between the two.
The Black-haired agent, unaware of the Truth, turned to Sheila and asked a rather gossipy question in a flat tone, "Are you and Heine really a couple?"
Gin: "……"
Sheila: "??"
As soon as this question was raised, the crime scene fell into an immediate, dark and silent stillness.
Gin's mouth twitched slightly, the hand that had been tapping the tabletop came to a halt. He turned to look at Akai Shuichi, his expression carrying an indescribable and complex meaning.
Akai Shuichi met his gaze, his expression gradually turning into one of confusion. "What's wrong??"
And a few steps away, Sheila looked even more strange.
She turned her neck toward Akai Shuichi with stiff, jerky movements, an action that almost made the Black-haired agent suspect she had suddenly turned into a robot. Little Fairy's blue eyes held an indescribable complexity, her once clear gaze was now like two pools of dead water.
Why.. would this be the reaction?
The Black-haired agent was rarely so bewildered.
In the next second, Gin stepped forward a few paces from his side.
The Silver-haired man's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of an irrepressible smile in his eyes. He raised his hand to lightly pat Akai Shuichi's shoulder, then turned to look at Sheila, suppressing a laugh as he asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Sheila took a deep breath, a stiff smile barely forced onto his beautiful face:
Go there and get some hot water.
His slender index finger pointed gracefully, his smile remaining unchanged, but his eyes were filled with malice.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Akai Shuichi seemed to hear a hint of grinding teeth in Sheila's tone.

Chapter 186 Chapter 170 Welcome Back! Zhenjun..
Although the food supplies on the speedboat were not abundant, neither Sheila nor Gin Akai was too worried about this issue.
Because the duration of this voyage was not long.
As midnight approached, the group finally set foot on land.
The shore was silent, with only the sounds of a few Staff who had been notified in advance working; their whispers did not break the silence of the Night, but instead added a slightly eerie tone to the dark night.
The evening breeze brushed against the earth, the rustling of leaves rubbing against one another mixing with the rhythmic sound of the waves crashing behind them, forming a uniquely flavored symphony.
Tonight's Moon is very round, hanging high in the sky, silently gazing at all things in the world. The Moonlight is bright and pure, the Moonlight pours down, as if the mortal world has been draped in a layer of hazy silver gauze.
Gazing at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Sheila couldn't help but feel a sense of lamentation.
So tired..
The Black-haired woman wrapped her Coat tightly around her, her beautiful face appearing even more pale in the chill of the Night, she blinked her eyes as a wave of sleepiness silently swept through her brain.
To be honest, she has been feeling increasingly exhausted lately.
However—
Sheila curled his lips, turning his dull gaze toward the two behind him: "Do you have any plans next?"
..
Out of some sense of perverse amusement, Sheila did not tell Akai Shuichi her true relationship with Heine, out of respect for the two siblings, after confirming that Sheila had no Plan to reveal it, Gin also kept it to himself.
As a result, the curious Akai Shuichi had been subtly testing Sheila.
As for this, Gin's reaction was to remain composed and act as a bystander.
He had both hands in his coat pocket, looking as if he were about to light a cigarette, but since everything on him was soaked through, that idea likely wouldn't come to fruition.
The Silver-haired man turned his head to watch this scene, letting the sea breeze blow through the stray hairs on his forehead, appearing as calm and indifferent as ever.
However, after seeing the faint smile in Gin's gaze, Sheila was absolutely certain that this guy was just watching the fun.
Just as she was about to get a little revenge, Akai Shuichi, who had just been speaking with her, suddenly spoke up: "By the way—"
The Black-haired agent turned to face Gin and, in an extremely casual tone, suddenly dropped a sentence: "You should know Hashimoto Nana, right?"
Gin blinked.
He raised his head slightly and looked silently at Akai Shuichi, using his eyes to signal him to continue.
"Before I came to find you, she seemed to have had some contact with someone from IC. PO—" Akai Shuichi had a faint smile on his lips, his dark green eyes appearing quite calm.
However, standing beside him, Sheila keenly sensed that man was not as calm as he appeared.
It seems she knows you've run into trouble, so—" Akai Shuichi paused, then continued, "So, to lighten your burden, she chose to reveal herself.
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.
In the next second, Sheila clearly saw Gin's eyes turn suddenly cold and fierce.
Already feeling a bit cold, Sheila silently took a step back, yielding the home field to these two Nemeses, whose relationship was anyone's guess.
What does the battle between them have to do with me?
After all, I am just a small, pitiful, helpless Patient who can take on ten people at once!
Akai Shuichi clearly saw Gin's unsightly expression at this moment, but for some reason, instead of offering any consolation, he only added fuel to the fire.
I heard—" the Black-haired agent took a step forward, his eyes looking darkly at Gin: "That she seems to have encountered some danger?
"What happened to her?!" Gin finally couldn't help but speak.
The Silver-haired man's face appeared even darker under the moonlight, his green eyes were as cold as glaciers, terrifyingly chilling.
He lowered his Voice, but his tone betrayed a sudden sense of urgency.
I don't know either—" Akai Shuichi shook his head, his expression incredibly sincere. "If you go back and take a look, you might find something.
Gin pursed his lips in silence, the line of his jaw forming a sharp curve in the air.
Sheila: ".."
She looked at the scene before her in shock, her gaze fixed on Akai Shuichi with conflicted eyes, only to meet the slightly smiling eyes of the Black-haired man.
Okay.. she understood.
In order to prevent Gin from seeking death, you are truly going all out.
But right now, you are the one seeking death!
Aren't you even going to consider the consequences of saying that?! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
However, Sheila glanced at Gin's expression and ultimately did not say the words.
He decided not to interfere in their business.
After all, it was already said before—
He is nothing more than a tiny, pitiful, helpless IC. PO..
..
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cast a worried glance at Akai Shuichi, then looked at Gin with hesitation.
Neither of them spoke, each looking more solemn than the other.
"It looks like.. Heine and the others haven't reached the shore yet—" Sheila really couldn't stand this tense atmosphere and was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
He is going to conduct a search and rescue," Gin said indifferently, appearing to have expected this for some time. "It will, of course, cause a delay.
The conversation came to an end.
Sheila sighed in his heart, gazing deeply at the sea surface under the moonlight.
The sea looked extremely calm, with occasional waves rising and falling, reflecting beautiful colors under the Moonlight.
If only my mood could be as calm as the sea.
Sheila, who had been swept into it, thought.
At this moment, she no longer had any mood to watch the drama; she only wanted to go home and have a good sleep—what kind of mess is this!
Actually.." she said slowly, "If you have things to do, you can leave first.
As soon as Little Fairy finished speaking, Gin turned and walked away without looking back, leaving behind a silhouette that almost merged with the Night for everyone present.
Sheila: ".."
The next person to leave was Akai Shuichi.
