The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"In fact, I know that my brother has always taken good care of me and my mother. I am very grateful for this and I also want to repay my brother."

"But I have no money, I can't buy anything, and I don't have anything else to give."

"So I want to give my brother the novel signed by Mr. Takatsuki Izumi as a gift."

As he spoke, he took out the novel in his arms, which he never let go even when he was sleeping, and looked into Lin Qiao's eyes seriously.

"I know my brother is not a fan of Mr. Takatsuki Izumi, and he has never read Mr. Takatsuki Izumi's book, but this is the only thing Hinami can give to my brother... Ugh!"

Just like the rainy day that stopped the other person from speaking, another raised finger blocked the girl's lips, preventing her from continuing.

Lin Qiao silently reached out and touched Hinami's head, and said with some emotion:

"...I feel like Hinami has grown up overnight without telling anyone."

How should I put it? Regardless of whether it was true or not, I was somewhat moved.

——Children are the greatest treasure of mankind.

I feel like I understand this sentence a little bit.

Although he is still very young, his maturity far exceeds that of his peers, which makes Lin Qiao regard him as a simple child.

"But in this case, I can't find a reason to refuse, Ms. Ryoko."

"Hina..."

Ryoko Fueguchi gave her daughter a complicated look, with surprise in her eyes, but she was more pleased with her daughter's growth.

pop-

He clapped his hands, drawing the attention of two people who seemed a little sad for some reason.

"Okay, okay, it's a rare trip out of here, I can't come out smiling and go back crying, right?"

Fortunately, they were at the end of the line and spoke very quietly, so to outsiders it seemed like they were just kids making a fuss and it didn't attract any attention.

......

After the emotional conversation, what followed was a long wait.

I don't know whether it's because he's a talkative one-eyed owl, or because his ancestral home is in Dunhuang, but he likes to chat with everyone he meets, which greatly slows down the efficiency of signing.

As a result, many people who came just to join in the fun ran away after watching it.

Sitting on a chair set up in the mall, I scrolled through my phone boredly, grabbed a full paper cup beside me, and drank a sip of the coffee in it through a straw.

“The taste is… just average.”

Although he added some nebula gas into it when no one was paying attention, it was still not as good as he made himself.

Just as he was looking down at the time on his phone for the umpteenth time, the sound of rapid running made by the soles of his shoes hitting the ground came into his ears.

"Sorry for the wait, brother."

Looking up, he saw Hinami with a bright smile, and then she rushed directly into his arms.

And Ryoko Fueguchi, who was following behind, was walking with a woman with green hair and red-framed glasses.

"?"

What's going on? How did you kidnap her?

Chapter 85 Man-Made Coincidence

"Isn't this Mr. Ishimori? What a coincidence."

"...Takatsuki-sensei? What a coincidence."

The corners of his eyes twitched upwards twice.

To be honest, when Lin Qiao saw Fangcun At waving at him, he almost couldn't help but crush the coffee in his hand.

He took a deep breath and calmed his turbulent mood.

Lin Qiao asked curiously, "Is the book signing over?"

"Yes, although this is not my first book signing event, I was signing autographs for two and a half hours straight. I was so tired that I couldn't even lift my arms..."

At the end of her speech, she rubbed the hand she used to hold the pen, revealing a helpless and tired expression, as if she was really exhausted.

"Aiya~ Even though I say that, it's so nice to meet fans like Ryoko-san and Hinami-chan at the end~ I'm so happy that I feel like I'm back to full health~"

She maliciously acted cute by making a "yeah" hand gesture, without any celebrity airs at all. She looked like a carefree girl next door.

There is no doubt that if Lin Qiao hadn't known the story in advance by turning on the plot cheat, even he wouldn't have been able to associate the girl in front of him with the extremely ferocious one-eyed owl.

In terms of acting skills alone, the other party is not inferior to him, and is even better than him.

"But I was really surprised just now, suddenly I heard a familiar name from a super cute child. And when Mr. Ishimori signed, it was also Hinami's name..."

He pushed up his red-framed glasses without prescription. The reflection of light on the lenses made him look as if he was possessed by some elementary school student who is the god of death.

His eyes moved back and forth between the three people, and finally stopped between Fukou Ryoko and Lin Qiao. He nodded to himself and said in a solemn voice:

"Yeah, so they are indeed a couple, right?"

However, this statement was refuted just the next second.

"What a shame, that's the wrong answer. Hinami and I are half-siblings."

Crossing his arms over his chest, he imitated the wrong sound effects in quiz variety shows and asked:

"But in Takatsuki-sensei's eyes, do Hinami and I look like a couple?"

".....No, I'm not talking about Hinami-chan... But never mind."

Hearing Lin Qiao's words that sounded very cruel, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch upwards.

What to say? This was the first time even she had encountered such a thing.

I always feel speechless and my blood pressure shows signs of rising.

There are many perverts among ghouls, but there are not many who are as thick-skinned as this one.

But surprisingly not bad.

"Mr. Ishimori is such an interesting person~"

The corners of his mouth curved up in a hint of pleasure.

"Speaking of which, there's a coffee shop here that has a very good reputation. If you don't mind, how about we go sit down together?"

"It just so happens that I, too, want to stay with Hina-kun for a while~"

At the end, Yoshimura hugged Hinami from behind as if she were a doll, and poked the girl's red cheeks with his fingers in a doting manner.

But just find a place to chat with each other.

Lin Qiao still looked smiling on the surface, but in her heart she remembered the reason for her refusal.

The other person was not a kind person, and in some aspects he was almost the same as him.

They are all the type who are capricious and kill without blinking an eye.

It would be fine if he was alone, but Miss Ryoko and Hinami were still with him.

Even though the possibility of the other party turning against you is very small, there is still no need to take the risk.

Just then, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

"I'm going to take a call first."

He made an apologetic gesture, walked a little further away, and clicked the answer button on the screen.

"Hello, it's Touka......."

"Where are you now?"

"Eh? I'm with Ryoko-san and the others right now..."

"Stop talking nonsense and come back quickly. I have something urgent to discuss with you!"

He hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Qiao's reply, as impetuous as ever.

However, judging from the tone of the voice on the phone, it was obvious that he had encountered some difficult problem, so much so that he didn't even have time to reveal any details.

"It sounds like a really urgent matter." Yoshimura At sighed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Takatsuki. Although I really want to have a long talk with you, it seems that I can only take my leave now."

He sighed, put the phone back into his pocket, and politely apologized to Fangcun.

Helplessly spreading his hands, Fangcun said with a regretful tone: "Yeah, it's a pity. It's rare to meet such a lovely fan, but I won't waste your time."

"By the way, this is my business card... Anyway, see you next time, Mr. Ishimori, Ms. Ryoko, and the super cute little Hinami~"

He handed the business card to Hinami, waved goodbye to them, and watched the three of them walk down the stairs.

As the three figures gradually disappeared into the distance, Fangcun Et put away his kind smile and revealed a somewhat meaningful look.

"Humans and ghouls being brothers and sisters... it's very interesting."

It can be seen that Fueguchi Ryoko and Fueguchi Hinami did not regard Lin Qiao as food, but truly believed in each other.

But I just don’t know what kind of expression that man would have if he knew that the mother and daughter next to him were ghouls.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. To be honest, she was a little curious... but that was all.

If it is not necessary, don't make a child cry, after all, she will feel guilty (laughs)

.......

After walking out of the mall, Fueguchi Hinami grabbed Lin Qiao's sleeve and ran to the parking lot.

Even Miss Ryoko had a worried look on her face, as if she was worried about everyone in Anding.

Except Lin Qiao.

He took out the car keys slowly and opened the door.

After making sure there were no pedestrians or other vehicles passing by, he slowly started the engine and drove out of the parking lot.

The whole process embodies a leisurely and relaxed atmosphere, which makes Dikou Hinashi, who is behind him, anxious.

"Brother, hurry up, my sister and the others must be in trouble!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry."

"but......!"

"Don't worry, although there were some problems in the An Ding District, they have all been resolved. It was probably about an hour before you came out."

The rearview mirror inside the car reflected the girl's stunned face.

However, Fueguchi Ryoko looked as if she knew it.

"So...brother is lying? But the phone call just now..."

Just as I was about to say something, I saw Lin Qiao taking the phone with the call log turned on.

There is indeed a record of a call with Dong Xiang, but it was indeed an hour ago.

Just when she was at a loss, Lin Qiao's voice came slowly: "Hinashi, don't you think the timing of the call just now was very coincidental?"

"Eh? Well, it seems to be true."

He paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Qiao smiled faintly, and while waiting for the traffic light, he reached out and touched Hinami's head, and said frankly: "As the first lesson after growing up, I will teach you a truth today."

"Coincidences, while they do exist, can sometimes be artificially created."

After saying that, he clicked on one of the recording files.
