In the world of Zongman, the ruthless monks just want to play badly

"What do you think, Xiaomu?"

Ruoye Mu: "..."

The girl sighed in her heart, stupid Metis, always liked to do unnecessary things, causing her to suffer as well.

The world of three of us, my brother and I, was already very crowded. Adding another lamp even blocked the last bit of operating space.

But now that things have come to this, she can't possibly turn Gao Songdeng away.

Finally, he whispered:

"I also can."

"Then it's decided."

Since both sisters had no objections, Bai Li simply made the final decision, "I'd like to trouble Gao Song-san to act as our tour guide and take us on a good tour around here."

"Ok!"

The short-haired girl nodded vigorously and was about to leave, but she noticed that Xiaomu and Metis occupied the left and right sides of Baili respectively, and the latter was hugging his arm tightly, looking extremely intimate.

The distance between them... is so close...

It reminded her of the tall and handsome penguin father taking his newborn baby out to find food.

The innocent girl tilted her head, as if she had been inspired.

She walked up to Baili and stretched out a tender little white hand with a serious look on her face.

"Can I... join in too?"

……

at the same time.

A little further away.

A girl with long dark brown hair and teardrop moles at the corners of her eyes was standing under a street light, chatting with her companion who was wearing a leather jacket. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye and couldn't help but look over from afar.

Hit.

Chapter 267 Li Xi: Where is the guy who hurt Deng!

"Sorry, I was a little late due to traffic."

The tall (relatively) cool woman wearing a punk-style black leather jacket lowered her head slightly, and her straightforward voice sounded a bit cold.

She handed a box of chocolate-flavored milk jelly drink with a panda pattern on it to the girl in front of her and said seriously:

"This is a gift of apology."

"...Do you treat me like a child?"

Shiina Riki crossed his arms over his chest and couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw this scene.

"So do you want it?"

"……want."

Although Hailing was hateful for making her wait for half an hour longer, the drink was innocent.

As an avid panda lover, Tatsuki Shiina finds it difficult to resist anything with "panda" elements.

She sighed, took the drink, and asked calmly:

"So, what's the matter with calling me out?"

It’s a rare weekend, I don’t have to go to class, and because of my shift work, I don’t have to work as usual.

Shiina Riki was left with some free time. He was originally thinking at home whether he should take advantage of this rare day off to invite Deng out for a cup of coffee and deepen their relationship...

But before she could take any action, she received a call from someone.

Hachiman Kailing, female, is a first-year student at Hanasakigawa Girls' Private Academy. She is also a classmate of Shiina Riki and one of their few good friends.

Although they are friends, because neither of them is particularly enthusiastic, their way of getting along does not seem to be close. When they occasionally communicate, their style is concise and efficient. They get straight to the point and rarely talk nonsense, and this time is no exception.

"The band leader who supported me gave me two tickets to the aquarium yesterday."

Hachiman Kailing said succinctly, "I couldn't find anyone else to use, so I thought of you."

Although she said something like "I have no friends" which sounded very miserable, her attitude was extremely calm, and her tone was so natural that it was as if she was asking "Have you eaten?", which showed a profound state of mind of "not being happy with things, not being sad with oneself".

Shiina Riki: “…”

Li Xi was choked by her straightforward attitude and didn't know how to refute her for a moment.

"……never mind."

She couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. Now that she was here, she couldn't just turn around and go home, right?

Just think of it as passing time.

and……

If I remember correctly, Deng seems to like places like aquariums?

Today is Sunday again... maybe we can meet by chance?

Well, this possibility is still too low.

Li Xi shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He was about to walk towards the aquarium in the distance with Hai Ling, but the moment he raised his foot, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

With his signature short gray hair and long-sleeved sweatshirt, he looks like a clumsy little penguin from a distance.

That is……

"Light?" Li Xi was stunned.

The chances of running into an acquaintance by chance in Tokyo, a city covering 2155 square kilometers and with a permanent population of 3750 million, especially without any prior arrangement, are so great that you can almost buy a lottery ticket.

Could it be that... this is what the Chinese often say, "Words must be followed by laws"?

Li Xi should have been happy about this unexpected encounter.

Yes, that's how it should be.

but……

After seeing the scene in the distance clearly, she couldn't bring herself to smile with joy.

White carp.

This name, which once made her have wild thoughts, toss and turn in bed, and finally made her unable to escape, now appeared before her together with the figure of the lamp.

On weekends, people of the opposite sex of similar age appear at the aquarium, a legendary dating destination.

When all these factors come together, it is hard not to think too much.

Are they...dating?

With such a thought in his mind, Li Xi's eyes became slightly complicated.

How to describe her mood?

If I have to say something, it would probably be... empty.

For a long time, the lamp has been like a princess in a high tower in her mind, innocent, beautiful and fragile, needing someone to take care of her and protect her in the palm of her hand.

In fact, Lixi did so. She was extremely hostile to anyone or anything that might harm Deng, and was worthy of being called the most loyal knight of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

But they are just knights.

Just like in most fairy tales, at the end of the story, the princess always lives happily with the prince.

In fact, Li Xi had expected that such a day would come, but when he witnessed this scene with his own eyes, his chest still felt stuffy, as if it was being squeezed by a pair of invisible big hands, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Although she had no strange feelings towards the lamp, and was more driven by a desire to protect it, she would be like a diligent old farmer who would be heartbroken if one day he saw the cabbages he had carefully taken care of being taken away by pigs from other places.

However... who is the cabbage and who is the pig seems to be still debatable?

Shiina Riki was in a complicated mood and didn't even notice Xiaomu and Metis who were also present. His mind was full of the words "I was here first".

"what happened?"

Seeing her suddenly stop, Hachiman Kailing beside her felt a little strange.

It was the first time she saw Li Xi in such a distraught state. Although this might not be a polite way of putting it, it did give her a subtle sense of déjà vu—as if she saw a stray dog ​​on the side of the road that had been inexplicably kicked and had its bones stolen.

Shiina Riki, who didn't know what his friend was thinking, was silent for a while before pretending to be calm and said:

"Nothing, just... saw a few friends, a little surprised."

Is that all?

Hailing didn't comment, but just followed Li Xi's gaze.

Her eyes fell on the unfamiliar figures in the distance, and she showed a thoughtful expression.

So that's it, a love triangle?

But Hachiman Kailing quickly overturned this idea. She counted the number of people and shook her head in her heart.

It should be a love pentagon.

To be honest, I wasn't too surprised.

As a backing musician for thirty bands, she had seen countless chaotic relationships between men and women, women and women, and men and men, and was no longer surprised.

Hachiman Kailing is not interested in these things. After all, she is just a mercenary. She gets paid to do a job and leaves after the performance. She has no intention and no time to interfere in the love, hatred and grudges between others.

But what if one day even my few friends were caught in a boring emotional vortex, or even suffered a severe blow and could never recover?

"Do you want to follow and see?" she asked suddenly.

"Ok?"

Li Xi was stunned for a moment. Before she could shake her head to refuse, she saw the other party say again, "You seem to care a lot about it. Since you can't let it go, why not see for yourself what's going on."

After a pause, he added, "I'm somewhat confident that I can track you. I don't have to worry about being discovered."

So... where did you get your tracking experience?

The complaint was on the tip of his tongue, but Li Xi suppressed it.

After hesitating for a moment, the sour mood finally took over and he nodded slightly.
