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 dark outside the hospital.

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

Of course, this level of injury was already common for Akikawa Sosuke, and he didn’t care too much.

After he retracted his gaze from the window, he noticed that there was a woman lying next to his bed.

With the bright moonlight pouring in from the window, Akikawa Sosuke saw the chestnut braid tied into a ponytail behind the other person’s head.

‘It’s Okino Yoko. ’

Akikawa Sosuke thought to himself.

After this period of time together,

and the scene two days ago at the film exhibition, when Okino Yoko rushed over to pull him 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, Okino Yoko is not the silly and innocent image of the morning drama heroine in the eyes of the public.

Of course, Akikawa Sosuke does not think that a silly and innocent idol can become the top female star in Japan in just six or seven years after debuting in high school.

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

He just needs to know that Okino Yoko will not harm him, that's enough.

'Speaking of which, since Okino Yoko is here, Miss Itakura will probably take the blame again. '

Akikawa Sosuke couldn't help thinking in his heart.

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

In order to let Toda Kyouji take the initiative to show up and find him, he deliberately sent Itakura Misaki away.

And after he was hospitalized for self-harm, Itakura Misaki must have been angry with Okino Yoko.

Just as Akikawa Sosuke was thinking in his heart, he saw Okino Yoko, who was lying on the side of his bed, slowly straightened up.

A moment later

Two pairs of identical blue eyes met in the air.

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

‘Don’t you want me to find out that she just cried? ’

Akikawa Sosuke thought to himself as he looked at the bed sheet beside him that was a little darker due to being soaked.

“Xiao Xiao Sosuke, you’re awake, why don’t you rest for a while?”

“Your neck is injured, so try not to move your neck.”

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

“Okay.”

Akikawa Sosuke replied.

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

While chatting with Okino Yoko.

Akikawa Sosuke noticed that Okino Yoko had shown a look of wanting to say something but stopped several times.

She was obviously struggling in her heart whether to ask him about this matter.

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

And Akikawa Sosuke took the initiative to speak at this time:

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

After saying this, Akikawa Sosuke noticed that the mature and gentle expression on Yoko Okino's face, which she always showed to him, froze in an instant.

Her eyes widened for a moment, and then quickly changed her expression.

Real surprise often does not stay on the face for more than a second.

Yoko Okino's quick action of covering her expression just shows that her heart was in turmoil because of her words at this moment.

"How... How could such a thing happen?"

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

Akikawa Sosuke heard Yoko Okino's two thin lips unconsciously uttering unclear murmurs.

He also noticed that the inside of Yoko Okino's eyebrows drooped slightly, her mouth closed, and her lower lip curled inward in an instant.

These are all manifestations of anger.

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

But what worries Akikawa Sosuke is that.

Whether Okino Yoko is surprised or angry, she is deliberately hiding her emotions.

‘Don’t you want to show negative emotions in front of me? ’

‘Are you afraid that I will worry? Or do you have other concerns? ’

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

Akikawa Sosuke stretched out his hand and grasped Okino Yoko’s palm.

He saw that Okino Yoko’s expression showed a moment of surprise again, but she did not show any rejection because of his action of grasping her palm.

“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 have a "fight or flight" response, and blood flows from the skin surface to the muscles and internal organs, which may cause the skin surface temperature to drop.

Or when you feel anxious,

Continuous anxiety may cause slight changes in body temperature regulation, especially in the extremities such as hands and feet, which may feel cold.

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

But like Yoko Okino, the palms are constantly cold, which can only be a case of fear and anxiety.

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

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

But he never thought that after hearing his words, Yoko Okino stood there in a daze.

On her delicate and flawless cheeks, an expression as if a little girl finally found her long-lost and extremely precious doll was revealed in an instant.

The blue eyes that were slightly red and swollen because of crying were filled with tears in an instant.

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

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

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

Akikawa Sosuke said in a panic, as if he was frightened.

Then she felt that the hand that Okino Yoko was holding in her palm suddenly exerted force, and she also tightly held her hand.

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

The small ward then rang with a cry of obvious joy.

"Xiaokong. You finally called me 'sister' again."
