If it comes to acting, it definitely deserves the phrase "natural", and the Oscars owe you a little golden man.
Could it be...that she was really overthinking?
Or maybe... Xiao Mu hasn't figured it out yet?
This guess makes sense.
Shoko Toyokawa knows her childhood sweetheart very well. She has attended girls' schools since she was a child and has no experience of interacting with the opposite sex of the same age. Even her experience with the same sex is very little. The number of people she can consider as friends can be counted on one hand.
In addition, she is very quiet and introverted, a pure white sheet of paper.
It seems normal that Xiao Mu doesn't understand what love is?
Her dependence on the president may not be the relationship between men and women that she imagined, but perhaps it is just a family affection born out of a long period of lack of care.
As she said herself, "Brother is an important family member."
Focus on this, family.
In other words... the crisis is temporarily resolved?
Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She didn't want to become a jealous rival with Xiaomu because of the president's relationship.
If the previous guess is correct, this is undoubtedly the best situation at the moment.
……
[Xiaoxiang, are you letting your guard down?]
Metis held a tutu pillow in her arms, and her tone seemed a little strange. "I never thought... your acting skills would be so good."
Ruo Yemu lowered his eyes but did not answer her.
Metis was still amazed by her performance, but only Ruoye Mu herself knew that what she had just said was actually from the heart.
No matter how perfect the acting is, it is always fake, and fakeness often means flaws.
Xiaoxiang is a very smart child. If you want to hide things from her, relying solely on acting skills won’t work. The only way is to show your true feelings!
Wakaba Mu was indeed not lying.
She considers her brother an important family member.
But... who says husbands aren't considered family?
Bai Mu, Bai Li, she and her brother will even have the same surname in the future, so how can they not be considered family?
Xiangzi obviously did not expect that his childhood sweetheart, who was once caring and well-behaved, would actually play word games with her.
Although she did not believe Xiao Mu's one-sided statement 100%, she did relax her vigilance towards her a little. She would just observe her for a while and she would naturally come to a new conclusion.
As for now...
Hearing the "Dinner is ready" notification from the kitchen, Secretary Xiaoxiang hurried over.
It’s more important to help the president serve the dishes.
Chapter 184 Soft and sticky Xiaoxiang: Our bond is indestructible!
"I'm gonna start now!"
The blue-haired girl at the dining table straightened her back, her nose twitched slightly, and she looked at the delicious food in front of her that seemed to be emitting a faint golden light. As she clasped her hands together, her throat rolled unconsciously.
I've been busy with my studies and work at the firm recently, and haven't been able to visit him... I've been making do with simple meals three times a day. Although I'm no longer short of money and don't have to be frugal like before, I can even splurge and order takeout without coupons, but how can pre-prepared meals with no hint of home cooking taste as good as the president's cooking?
Dinner was a typical four-course meal with a soup.
Apart from the Mapo Tofu that Mutou specifically requested, the other dishes seemed to be relatively light.
But light does not mean unpalatable, it also depends on the chef’s cooking skills.
There is certainly no problem with Baili's cooking skills. Not to mention, as a cultivator, it is normal for him to cultivate some special ingredients for cooking, right?
Although he did not specifically set aside a small piece of land to grow vegetables, it was mainly because he found it troublesome.
But ordinary ingredients, after being simply processed by him using spiritual power, also have magical effects.
Prolonging life and strengthening the body are secondary. For ordinary people, the taste is no different from adding computer accessories.
Ruo Yemu was fine, after all, he ate it every day and had developed a certain resistance.
But Xiaoxiang, the secretary I hadn't seen for a long time, was different. Although she still maintained the elegance and dignity of a young lady, she picked up things with her chopsticks so quickly that people subconsciously imagined her as a small blue octopus waving its soft tentacles.
As the food entered his mouth, his amber eyes narrowed in satisfaction, and seemed to be glowing with happiness.
It’s quite cute, Baili thought.
Xiaoxiang always keeps herself tense, and always looks serious even in front of him, which makes people want to bully her hard until her thin, pink lips make an adorable cry for mercy, revealing her soft, sweet side.
Fortunately, he is a gentleman and doesn't have that kind of weird bad taste.
Picking up the cup in front of him and taking a sip of the boiled water in it, Baili thought again.
Dinner ended in this atmosphere.
Bai Li didn't actually move his chopsticks much, just took two bites. Most of the food on the table was divided between the two girls.
“It’s delicious, thank you for the treat.”
He touched his soft belly with some satisfaction. His stomach, which had been suffering for a long time, was finally filled. Secretary Xiaoxiang offered to help wash the dishes, but Bai Li declined.
With one cleaning spell, even the most stubborn oil stains will become as white as new. It is convenient and quick, so there is really no need to do it yourself.
"The hot water is already in the bathroom. Anyone want to take a bath?"
After glancing at the wall clock, Bai Li looked at the two girls sitting on the sofa and extended an invitation.
She had clean clothes at home, and she had just taken a shower in the morning. Toyokawa Shoko shook her head, indicating that she didn't need them.
Ruoye Mu on the side hesitated for a moment and also shook his head to refuse.
"Brother should go to the bar first, I think, and then chat with Xiaoxiang."
"Well."
Bai Li didn't care and went to the bathroom alone, but he didn't notice that the green-haired girl quickly glanced at Qingmei next to her, then looked at his back, and a hint of regret flashed in her amber eyes.
Unfortunately, Xiaoxiang is also here...
Otherwise, I can ask to take a bath with my brother like I did last time.
I always feel like I missed a hundred million.
But... there is still a long way to go, and living under the same roof, there will be many opportunities like this in the future.
Thinking that he could still sleep with his brother after Xiangzi left, Ruo Yemu didn't think it was such a pity anymore.
Toyokawa Shoko had no idea what her childhood sweetheart was thinking, and was still moved by Xiaomu's words.
She originally thought that after having a president, her status in Xiaomu's heart would decline a lot, but now it seems... Xiaomu still values her very much!
As expected, she was her half, her closest friend, her childhood sweetheart! Their bond was unbreakable!
True friendship is always like this. Even if there are some differences, they will soon melt away like the first snow in spring.
The two chatted harmoniously, and Ruoye Mu also learned an unexpected news from Xiangzi.
"Brother...want to move?"
Secretary Xiaoxiang nodded slightly and sighed in distress, "However, it's not easy to find a house that meets the requirements. Either the location is not good, or the price is not very cost-effective..."
Although the president said there was no upper limit on the budget, the qualified housekeeper didn't want him to waste too much money.
Land is extremely expensive in Tokyo, so it is not easy to find a property that meets all the requirements and is not priced too high.
……
"move place?"
The brown-haired girl on the screen was stunned for a moment, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
Bai Li was soaking in the bathtub at the moment, feeling the warmth of the water wrapping around his body while video chatting with Su Shi who had just called him.
“In fact, I had this idea a long time ago.”
He leaned his head back on the edge of the bathtub and slightly closed his eyes. "Although our current house is quite spacious, I'd rather use the money in the card to improve my living environment than just let it gather dust. However, it's not easy to find a suitable location, so it may take some time before I can find any information."
Nagasaki Suyo thought about it and suddenly suggested, "How about... moving to my house?"
Although she no longer needs to rely on proximity to gain favor after dating Bai Lijun, if the two of them could become neighbors, they would have more time to spend together.
At least, the weekly tutoring time can be extended from Saturdays and Sundays to every day.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She briefly recalled in her mind, "I think I heard Mom say before that the house downstairs seems to be for sale... I'll help you find out during this time!"
The luxurious large flat of Sushijia is about 360 square meters in size and has a market value of approximately billion yen. Other houses in the same building may not be so expensive, but the minimum value is definitely over million yen.
With Bai Li's current wealth, he can afford it, but the commissions he has earned since traveling through time will almost be gone.
But this is not a big problem for him. For monks, there are so many ways to make money.
The Su Shi family's house was in a really nice environment and large enough. Apart from being too expensive, it really met his requirements.
The only trouble is that if I move by myself... the secretary will have to stay here alone.
Bai Li pondered for two seconds and quickly made a decision.
I'd better ask Xiangzi's opinion later. If the secretary is willing to go with him, there will be one more person living in the house.
"If nothing unexpected happens..."
Thinking of this, he looked at the brown-haired girl on the screen and smiled slightly, "Maybe, I can introduce you to a new friend then."
Chapter 185: Such a Fast Boomerang
After ending the communication with Su Shi, Bai Li first evaporated the water stains on his body, then waved his hand.
The bathrobe hanging on the hanger flew over and was put on him diligently as if it were a tsukumogami with intelligence.
Spiritual power, isn’t it magical?
Even if you don't use it to eliminate evil and defend justice, but only use it to do daily chores, it can bring a lot of convenience to your life.
The white bathrobe was very soft and fit tightly to the body, giving a warm and silky feeling. Its only drawback was that it was a bit loose, so it had to be fastened with a belt at the waist. However, the neckline was still a little open, revealing some of the cool white skin. The beautifully shaped collarbone was faintly visible, like the finest jade, exuding a moist glow.
