My system is weird.

Asakawa Aki's body was shaken by his push, his eyes opened dazedly, and suddenly he showed a bright smile: "Hehe, I am a qualified elder."

"Yes, my aunt is a qualified elder." Li Xia knew she was talking drunkenly.

"You're lying~" Asakawa Akira pouted, "I've been trying hard to be a good elder, but you still want to move out. It's obvious that you despise me."

"This..." Li Xia was about to answer when he saw Asakawa Aki had closed his eyes and collapsed.

"This guy, he pretends to not care at all." Li Xia shook her head and held her in a princess hug: "But he really cares about you."

Li Xia threw Asakawa Aki into her room, covered her with a quilt, and then opened the door and left.

This apartment is a single room. When he lived here, he slept on the floor. Now that he is staying here, he can only sleep in the same bed with her, which he cannot do.

It was already early in the morning when Li Xia returned to her home. She secretly opened the door and found that senior Qianhui had a pillow between her feet, rubbing it from time to time. She was sleeping soundly and snoring evenly.

"It turns out that beautiful girls can also snore." Li Xia shook her head, threw back the quilt and slept on the floor.

Time quickly came to the next day.

The tool man Komachi Hong was very efficient. When Li Xia finished the morning class, she sent over a detailed set of information.

"Yawn..." Komachi Hong had dark circles under her eyes and covered her mouth with one hand as she yawned. Her OL uniform was a little wrinkled, and it was obvious that she had been working overtime all night.

She handed a file bag to Li Xia: "This is the most detailed information we can find without alerting the parties involved."

"Thank you." Li Xia stretched out his hand to take it. After experiencing the kidnapping incident yesterday, he knew that this OL girl in front of him who seemed just a little cute was actually a dangerous person who was good at doing dirty things.

"They are mainly some work rating files." Komachi Hong explained: "When Asakawa Akira first came to the East Country, her classmates and teachers commented that she was withdrawn and not good at speaking. This should be related to the fact that she has been staying in Yan Country for a long time."

"Yeah." Li Xia nodded and took out the information to check. My aunt came to Dongguo to study for a master's degree and then stayed in school. Even though she was very gentle and reliable in Li Xia's memory, it was normal for her to behave withdrawn after moving to a completely unfamiliar environment.

"And this." Komachi Hong handed over another document: "Morin Jasmine from the Morin Zaibatsu also graduated from the University of Tokyo and is a senior of Asakawa Aki."

"..." The corners of Li Xia's mouth twitched, and she felt an orange color in front of her eyes.

Chapter 52 Heartbeat speeding up

"That's all the information we have." Komachi Hong handed over Mulin Moli's information. "There are some confidential information involved here. Mulin Moli is also the eldest daughter of the Mulin chaebol. Even if we want to investigate more, it may arouse their vigilance."

He paused here and added: "Of course, if you need, I can investigate in more detail."

In Komachi Akane's eyes, Li Xia was the person to be cultivated by Kirikiri Shimizu's husband. With his courage and wisdom, he rescued her from the endless overtime work of investigating the ghoul leader. She has always kept this favor in her heart.

"Forget it, thank you." Li Xia shook his head, put the information back into his bag and put it aside, supported himself on the wooden seat with both hands, and looked up at the sky.

He felt very complicated. What exactly was Asakawa Aki to him? She was the sister he had a crush on when he was young, and the image that appeared in his dreams when he was young and restless.

Even though he is now an adult, this relationship has become a dark history of his youth.

But when I thought about my aunt being entangled with this woman named Mulin Moli, I felt indescribably subtle.

"By the way, what are we going to eat for lunch?" Komachi Hong also sat down next to them and suddenly asked, "I've heard that the cafeteria at the University of Tokyo is very good, but it's a pity that it's not open to the public."

"Uh..." Li Xia was suffering from a literary youth syndrome. She interrupted his spell and ruined the atmosphere. He soon discovered the message conveyed by Komachi Hong's words: "Wait... Why us?"

"Oh, the captain was called by the higher-ups to handle some official business, which is the follow-up to the case of the last ghoul leader." Komachi Hong explained, "So I will be by your side these few days to protect your safety."

"Okay, I'll go see my aunt first." Li Xia waved his hand and turned to go to the laboratory building. There were too many strange things around him now. Komachi Hong was at least a companion in the good and lawful camp.

After walking a few steps and finding that Komachi Hong was still following him, Li Xia turned around and said, "No need to follow me, the school is still quite safe."

"No..." Komachi Hong was a little embarrassed: "The cafeteria is not open to the public."

Li Xia took out the meal card and handed it to Komachi Hong before going to the experimental building.

"Aunt, I thought you would take a leave today." Li Xia pushed open the door of the laboratory and saw Asakawa Aki in a uniform, a white lab coat on the outside, a pair of indoor shoes over her stockings, sitting at the desk with her legs crossed, typing on the keyboard.

"Sorry, sorry, I troubled you to take care of me again yesterday." Asakawa Aki saw him push the door in, turned around and stuck out his tongue: "I didn't do anything rude."

"Yes, you've been drunk and crazy more than once or twice. You'll dare to do it again next time." Li Xia leaned on the laboratory table, looked away, and suddenly asked: "By the way, can I ask you some questions?"

"What?" Seeing that his expression suddenly became serious, Asakawa Aki stood up and his tone became a little more serious.

"I remember that my aunt is a graduate student at the University of Tokyo." Li Xia turned her head and looked at Asakawa Aki: "Entering a new environment, there must be many things that are difficult to adapt to."

"Yeah." Asakawa Aki seemed to be lost in memory when he heard this question, with a smile on his face: "There will be some problems at the beginning, but you will get used to it slowly."

After saying that, she looked Li Xia up and down and said, "Xiao Xia, if you encounter any problems in life, please tell your aunt."

"Yeah, okay." Li Xia secretly looked at her expression and couldn't see any falsehood. She nodded and said, "If there is any problem, I will tell my aunt immediately."

"So good." Asakawa Qiu stood up, smiled and reached out to pat his head.

. . .

"The cafeteria at the University of Tokyo is indeed well-deserved of its reputation." Komachi Hong burped with satisfaction, sat in the driver's seat, and turned to look at Li Xia: "Do we still need to investigate your aunt?"

"Forget it." Li Xia propped up her chin with one hand and looked out the window: "When my aunt was in Yan Country, she didn't know how to dress herself up, but she smiled beautifully every day and was a very enthusiastic person to everyone."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "It's completely the opposite of the withdrawn personality you investigated."

"There is no problem with the accuracy of the information." Komachi Hong also became serious when talking about professional matters, and analyzed: "There is no need to falsify such files. However, when I first contacted Asakawa Akira, her enthusiasm was indeed inconsistent with the aloofness in the file."

"There's nothing to be surprised about." Li Xia still looked out the window: "And that happy smile can't be fake."

"So what?" Komachi Hong had a strange expression, as if she was confused.

"It proves that she was in the lowest mood." Li Xia had mixed feelings: "Someone was with her, which made her regain her original cheerful appearance."

"It's so complicated." Komachi Hong waved her hands, indicating that she didn't understand: "So you don't plan to take care of your aunt's affairs?"

"Yeah." Li Xia nodded: "If she is happy now, I didn't stay with her when she needed me the most, and now I want to destroy her life because of my own preferences."

"Besides, even if it is destroyed, there is no guarantee that she will be happy." Li Xia shook her head: "It is too despicable to destroy true love at will."

"It sounds complicated though." Komachi Hong looked over and said, "Then I'll take you to your part-time job?"

"Of course not." Li Xia shook her head: "I'm going to take a leave and follow Asakawa Aki."

Komachi Hong turned her head and looked at Li Xia with a complicated look in her eyes: "Didn't you just say that you wouldn't destroy true love?"③

"Can it be called true love if it's destroyed?" Li Xia glanced at her and said, "At least I have to make sure that Mu Lin Moli is not playing with my aunt's feelings."

"Okay, the captain told me to listen to you anyway." Komachi Hong tilted her head: "Then why don't you just follow Mulin Moli?"

"Is there still this option?" Li Xia looked at Komachi Hong with a half-smile.

"Hey, you're not waiting for me to say this, are you?" Komachi Hong felt that she was being fooled by this kid who was a circle younger than her: "Forget it, whatever you want."

After that, he took out a notebook and started working on it. After only about ten minutes, he said, "Found it. She is at Mulin Group today."

"So fast, how did you confirm it?" Li Xia asked curiously.

"Our Special Affairs Bureau has the right to connect to and check all the city's cameras at any time." Komachi Hong closed the computer and started the car. "Although the cameras don't cover a large area, we can still analyze a lot of necessary intelligence through reasonable inference."

Li Xia was sure that although Komachi Hong didn't look very smart, she was a genius in intelligence gathering.

The car soon stopped downstairs of the Mulin Group Building. Li Xia looked at the exit of the building through the car window. Although he was mentally prepared, he could still feel his heart beating faster.

Chapter 53 Did you cry? No!

Li Xia did not have to wait too long. A group of dozens of people walked out from the entrance of Mulin Building, with men in black suits forming a human wall on both sides.

The employees who had already walked out of the door moved to both sides and bowed 90 degrees.

The woman who walked out of the crowd had red curly hair, a well-cut exquisite red dress, red high heels, and a confident smile on her face. She looked more like a model from fashion week than a company president.

"Mu Lin Mo Li." Li Xia leaned against the car seat and looked at Mu Lin Mo Li who came out through the car window. The real person had a stronger aura than the photo. She was strong and confident, in sharp contrast to her husband Mu Lin Mo Li.

"The bodyguards beside her are professionals." Komachi Hong held the steering wheel with both hands, staring at the burly men in black behind Mu Lin Moli. Those men in black had been looking around vigilantly since they came out, with one hand on the chest, and it was obvious that they all held weapons in their hands.

Komachi Hong observed carefully for a while and concluded: "I can't kidnap her by myself."

"Why is your first thought to kidnap her?" Li Xia retracted his gaze and looked at Komachi Hong with a strange expression.

"Aren't you planning to catch her, take some nude photos, and then threaten her?" Komachi Hongya looked at Li Xia with a strange expression.

The two looked at each other in the car, and the air suddenly became quiet.

"I doubt your level of law enforcement." Li Xia broke the silence and watched Mu Lin Moli get into a black stretched sedan. The sedan had obviously been modified to be bulletproof. Both its size and shape were completely different from other sedans on the market.

Compared with her husband, Norio Kirayashi, she is like heaven and earth.

"Do you want to follow me?" asked Komachi Hong.

"No need." Li Xia watched the car leave and shook her head. "With this level of security, even if we catch up, we can't do anything. Just take me to my aunt's house."

Judging from the content of the phone call the day before yesterday, Mu Lin Moli wanted her aunt to be her lover, but was rejected by her aunt. Compared with stalking Mu Lin Moli, he cared more about her aunt's situation.

Komachi Hong was a very steady driver. She sent Li Xia to her destination, left after leaving her contact information.

Li Xia bought some food downstairs and unlocked the room with his fingerprint. His aunt had not come back yet and the room was still the same as when he left yesterday. A pair of transparent black stockings and hollow lace underwear were thrown on the sofa. It was obvious that Asakawa Aki got drunk yesterday and slept until this morning, then changed into clean clothes and went to school.

Based on Li Xia's understanding of her, it's not certain whether she took a shower in the morning.

"It really hasn't changed at all." Li Xia shook his head. After tidying up the room simply, he went to the kitchen with the purchased ingredients. As he expected, the large number of unwashed dishes and instant noodle boxes piled in the kitchen were still there.

So he planned to clean the kitchen before starting the fire.

He was busy in the kitchen for about an hour, and around seven in the evening, the door of the apartment was pushed open.

"Aunt, come back..." Li Xia poked her head out of the kitchen with cleaning tools in her hand, and looked into the eyes of Asakawa Aki, who was standing at the entrance taking off her high heels.

Asakawa Akira bent over, put a finger into her high heels, her eyes were red, and she obviously did not notice the changes in the room when she entered.

After seeing Li Xia, he was obviously stunned and quickly covered his eyes with his hands, not wanting Li Xia to see.

Li Xia was stunned and swallowed the rest of his words. In his mind, his aunt had always been heartless, with a bright smile that could give people strength.

He rarely saw his aunt like this.

"Aunt, what happened?" Li Xia untied her housework apron, walked to the entrance, and took the handbag from her hand.

"Yes, I encountered a sad thing." Asakawa Akira put down his hand, revealing his slightly red eyes, grinning, revealing a hearty smile: "When I went home, I saw an old lady and her granddaughter together. The scene was so warm that I was moved to tears."

"Oh, I see." Li Xia glanced at her, but didn't point it out. She turned around and said, "I prepared some hot dishes for you. Let's eat."

"I love my Xiao Xia so much." Asakawa Aki reached out and hugged Li Xia.

"Come here, Sister Qiu, you smell of alcohol. It turns out you didn't take a shower yesterday." Li Xia pushed her away with a look of disgust and went to the kitchen to bring out the prepared dishes.

With the delicious hot dishes, Asakawa Aki took out the wine that she hadn't finished yesterday, and Li Xia sat beside her and poured her wine.

The two of them ate together for nearly half an hour. Asakawa Aki's face was already slightly red from drinking. Li Xia filled her glass with wine and said softly, "If you have something that bothers you, you can tell me. Although it may not necessarily help, it is better to tell me than to keep it in your heart."

Asakawa Akira paused with the wine glass in his hand, but immediately regained his smile, shook his head and said, "Xiao Xia is such a gentle child."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass, propped his cheek with one hand, and said softly: "Anyone who can become your girlfriend must be very happy."

"Aunt, would you like to consider it?" Li Xia filled her glass again: "I don't mind that you are older than me."

"Then I take it seriously." Asakawa Aki suddenly smiled charmingly and looked at him.

The two looked at each other, and Li Xia did not avoid looking, but looked straight into her eyes.

The atmosphere gradually became strange.

Just then, "Ding Ding!" The sound of a cell phone ringing broke the silence, and the surrounding atmosphere was instantly broken. Asakawa Aki hurriedly took out his cell phone.

He said to Li Xia: "I'm going to answer a call."

After saying that, he stood up, but because he had just drunk a lot of wine, he didn't stand steadily and staggered. Li Xia hurriedly reached out to help him.

Asakawa Aki had already stood up on his own, and hurried to his room and closed the door.

Li Xia leaned against the sofa, looking at the closed door. She knew without a second thought that the call was from Mu Lin Moli, judging from her aunt's expression when she came back just now.

She must have cried, which means that the two of them had just met and the conversation must have been unpleasant, so she called again.

Judging from my aunt's reaction, she was obviously looking forward to this call.

Li Xia poured herself a glass of wine, put it to her lips and took a sip, a spicy taste rushed straight into her throat.

"It's so unpalatable. Why would anyone like to drink this kind of stuff?" Li Xia put down the wine glass, thought about it and felt it would be a waste to pour it out, so he poured it in from the bottle. Anyway, his aunt wouldn't be able to drink it later.

Li Xia didn't wait outside for too long. Asakawa Qiu came out of the room, still with a bright smile on his face, and walked to the coffee table: "There are still so many dishes, we can't waste them."

After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks to pick up some food.

"Aunt, you are crying." Li Xia held her head with both hands and leaned back on the sofa.

"I didn't!" Asakawa Aki turned around like a fertilized kitten and glared at him fiercely: "I won't cry!"

As he spoke, tears began to flow from his eyes.

Chapter 54: The Weak Side of My Aunt

"Okay, I'll stay with you." Li Xia said gently, reaching out and pressing her aunt's head into her arms.
