Jiang Chuan had no choice but to choose a remote hilltop as the date location. After all, this town was a remote place. Apart from the hilltop, there were only large tracts of farmland and a shrine that made all kinds of strange noises at night.
There aren't many good options.
But even though Jiang Chuan carefully selected the date location and sincerely invited her, Xiao Liu Xizi finally spoke slowly after hesitating for a moment.
"Sorry, I'm busy with work and don't have much time."
"?"
Do not have time?
After hearing Xiao Liu Xizi's answer, Jiang Chuan was indeed a little dissatisfied.
If you don't have time, would you go to Kubo Nao's house to slack off during lunch break?
If you don’t have time, why do you still do messy things during working hours?
Even if you refuse, you have to find a reasonable reason, right?
However, looking at Xiao Liu Xizi's indifferent expression, Jiang Chuan realized that the reason why this guy refused so carelessly was to let him know that she was not interested in this date proposal.
This woman...
Since awakening the farm space, except for the initial struggle with Ando Haruyuki in the beginning, Jiang Chuan was rarely rejected when facing women, let alone being rejected so bluntly and without care.
Jiang Chuan's mood also gradually changed.
Now, it would be more accurate to say that he wants to get back at someone rather than asking Xiao Liu Xizi out on a date.
"Did you misunderstand something?"
Jiang Chuan's expression became calm and his tone became cold.
"What I just said was not a question."
After he finished speaking, he took two steps forward and stood directly in front of Xiao Liu Xizi. Then he reached out his hand and slowly pinched her soft and white chin as her eyes gradually trembled and her face flushed.
"..."
Jiang Chuan’s strategy is also very simple. Since this little Liu Xizi cannot be persuaded, he will talk to the other real little Liu Xizi.
"I……"
Faced with Jiang Chuan's sudden tough attitude, Xiao Liu Xizi's eyes showed a strange light again, just like the previous times, and her breathing became hot. It seemed that she had entered the state very smoothly.
However, just as Jiang Chuan was about to press on and continue saying some humiliating words, he did not expect that Xiao Liu Xizi would speak again.
"I do not want."
Even though Jiang Chuan pinched her chin and looked at her with such cold eyes, Xiao Liu Xizi still said no.
Seeing this, Jiang Chuan slowly released the hand that was holding Xiao Liu Xizi.
The latter's expression and eyes seemed to switch personalities, returning to their usual calmness in the blink of an eye.
She looked at Jiang Chuan and sighed slowly.
"Master Jiang Chuan, if there is nothing else, please go back."
……
After all, Jiang Chuan is not a village bully. He won't use force if others don't want to.
But Jiang Chuan really didn't quite understand.
Whether it was the first time when the three of them were together at Kubo's house, or the previous few times when the two of them were privately together at the front desk of the clinic, Kyoko Koyanagi was very cooperative and even enjoyed it.
Obviously there was nothing wrong with that, so why would he reject a simple date invitation so firmly?
It's really baffling...
When I got home, there was still a long time before dinner because I didn't spend much time in the clinic.
There was also an "arrangement" with Mrs. Hayakawa in the evening. Jiang Chuan had nothing to do and felt a little annoyed.
He knew that if Xiao Liu Xizi's problem was not solved, this feeling would always linger in his heart.
If a person just keeps daydreaming, nothing will come of it. In the end, there is only one person who can help him.
So Jiang Chuan rested for a while at home, then put on his clothes again and went out, heading towards Kubo Nao's home.
……
He came for a big battle in the morning and left again in the afternoon, but Jiang Chuan didn't think it was wrong. After all, he came here to solve his doubts.
Unexpectedly, when Jiang Chuan walked into Kubo's living room again, he saw a person who was completely unexpected to him.
"I think it would be better to have a direct chat with you two instead of wasting time talking to you two. I don't want to be a puppet."
When Jiang Chuan saw Xiao Yanagi Xizi sitting on the sofa in the living room, he looked at Kubo Nao in surprise, but got this reply.
"..."
"..."
The two of them stared at each other, and the air froze again for a moment, becoming even more awkward.
"It was Sister Nao who asked me to come..."
Xiao Yanagi Xizi seemed to want to clarify something, so she started to explain, but it would have been better if she hadn't said it.
Jiang Chuan looked at Xiao Yanagi Xizi, and then at Kubo Nao.
How did this woman guess that I would come at this time?
Jiang Chuan was once again a little surprised at Kubo Nao's magical powers, but he did not delve into it further.
He frowned, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit it, then sat on the stool opposite Xiao Liu Xizi.
"Although it's not my intention, but since Sister Nayang has created such an opportunity, I will speak frankly."
"Nurse Xiao Liu, you know that I have no shortage of women around me. Now that you are doing that kind of thing with me and you are deliberately keeping your distance from me, I really don't understand what you mean."
"Since we are both sitting here, why not talk it out now? If you don't want to have a close relationship with me, I won't force you. From now on, we can just talk to each other as usual. If we are not free, we can just take care of our own business. I will not invite you to do this again. What do you think?"
After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he put out his cigarette and looked at Xiao Liu Xizi calmly.
His words could be said to be very impolite, but for Jiang Chuan, this was the truth.
Although Xiao Yanagi Xizi is not bad, as a woman, her indicators in all aspects meet his standards, and her inner perverted tendencies are quite consistent with his, but in the final analysis, she is just a candidate for Jiang Chuan's sixth harem.
Jiang Chuan felt that he had already given enough respect and patience to a candidate. If the other party did not give him face, there was no need for him to continue to pester him. After all, he, Jiang Chuan, did not lack women.
Hearing Jiang Chuan's straightforward and serious words, Xiao Liu Xizi obviously did not expect his attitude to take a sudden turn for the worse, and she was immediately a little displeased. However, after seeing Jiang Chuan's slightly disdainful look, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened... It was really a bit contradictory.
Xiao Liu Xizi was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke.
"I... don't hate you."
"Oh. Thank you very much. What next?"
This answer is really meaningless, just like the boring tug-of-war in a youth love comedy, but Jiang Chuan doesn't have the patience to play such a boring love game with her.
Seeing that Xiao Liu Xizi closed her mouth again and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb and remain silent, Jiang Chuan finally lost his patience and issued an ultimatum.
"Yes, yes. No, no. Give me an answer right now. No more waiting."
Jiang Chuan frowned again and spoke, his tone had changed from cold to emotionless indifference.
If the person sitting in front of him was Ando Haruyuki, Jiang Chuan would naturally be willing to accompany him in such a tug of war, but this is the reality. To Jiang Chuan, this is the most patience he can have for a little Yanagi Xizi.
Hearing Jiang Chuan's ruthless words, Xiao Liu Xizi's eyes immediately turned red.
"How could you do this..."
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly tense and that the talks were about to break down, Kubo Nao no longer dared to stand by and watch.
She looked at Xiao Liu Xizi and spoke.
"Master Jiang Chuan's idea is very simple and direct. He just wants to know why you rejected his invitation to a date."
"Xizi, I know what you're thinking, but you can't keep it to yourself forever. If you want to build a deeper relationship with someone, opening your heart is the first and most important thing to do."
"..."
As Kubo Nao spoke, she reached out her hand to soothe Jiang Chuan's thigh, and even made some teasing movements from time to time. It was obvious that she was apologizing for Jiang Chuan on behalf of Xiao Yanagi Xizi, and at the same time asking him to give her a little more patience.
In this regard, Jiang Chuan also gave her this face.
So he waited patiently, and finally, under the guidance of Kubo Nao, Koyanagi Kyoko seemed to have made up her mind.
"Ugh……"
She first let out a long sigh, then spoke slowly.
"You all don't understand how difficult it is to live in this world wearing a mask."
After Xiao Liu Xizi said this, the tears in her eyes finally gathered into teardrops and slowly slid down her cheeks.
"Love is just wishful thinking to me. I just need to protect the real me under the mask and make myself feel happy when others don't know. That's enough."
"If you know everything about me but still find me boring and never come to see me again, then I would rather you not know me from the beginning..."
After Xiao Liu Xizi finished speaking, she could no longer hold back her emotions. She covered her face with her hands and began to cry silently.
Chapter 249 Under the mask, there is a puppy
Xiao Liu Xizi cried for a long time, and then continued to tell the story with sobs.
At this point, Jiang Chuan finally understood why Xiao Liu Xizi had always deliberately kept a distance from him.
When she was a young girl, she accidentally found an adult magazine in a drawer at home. After reading it carefully, she realized her true self.
But in later years, she gradually realized that her true identity would not be accepted by the world.
In fact, Japanese society has always been like this. Not to mention XP perversion, even things that have nothing to do with others, such as losing a job or failing an exam, spread faster than anything else, and you can hear rumors in the blink of an eye.
In the isolated small town, this point is magnified again, even to an exaggerated degree.
Hearing this, Jiang Chuan felt the same way. The reason why he had such a high reputation in the town in a short period of time was because of word of mouth among the neighbors. Every time Jiang Chuan did a good thing, basically everyone in the town would hear the rumor the next day, and some would even exaggerate. But in fact, even until today, he has only been here for two or three months.
So realizing this, Xiao Liu Xizi decided to completely close her heart, not let anyone know, and live her life honestly and steadily.
However, the result of this is that Xiao Liu Xizi, who suppressed her true inner desires, became a person who was extremely boring in everything she did and had an extremely repressed temperament.
In the following ten years, she didn't even have a boyfriend, let alone a decent friend. Even though she was tall and slim, and her appearance was impeccable, in the end, others would choose to turn away after learning about her boring personality. She had no interest in those men who only coveted her looks.
This kind of growth experience has created a contradictory heart in Xiao Yanagi Xizi.
Fortunately, by chance, she met Kubo Nao, and the two hit it off immediately. Kyoko Koyanagi finally found a way to liberate her true inner self, but in the end, the two people with normal orientations can only be friends, and even those special games are limited to the "outside".
"And then... you showed up."
After Xiao Liu Xizi finished speaking, she raised her red, tearful eyes and looked at Jiang Chuan.
"I know that there will never be another man like you in my life, so I am really scared. I am afraid that you will be like the others and will never..."
Before she could finish her words, she burst into tears again.
Xiao Liu Xizi's worries were not groundless. In her opinion, a man like Jiang Chuan was surrounded by many outstanding women. A boring woman like herself would never arouse his interest.
Kubo Nao, who was standing by, patted her back gently with her hand, and looked up at Jiang Chuan.
As for Jiang Chuan, he didn't have any emotional fluctuations at this moment, he just thought that this was the case.
Originally, he thought that Xiao Yanagi Xizi wouldn't really be a lesbian contestant, so she was so reluctant to get to know him better.
But now it seems that he had indeed misunderstood.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, everything is OK. Xiao Yanagi Xizi's worries are not difficult problems for him to solve.
"Then don't live with a mask on from now on."
Jiang Chuan naturally came to this conclusion.
"You're worried that I'll find you boring, but when we're together, have you ever seen me act boring?"
"To be frank, this town is under my control now. No one will talk about the woman next to me. From now on, you can take off your mask and live your life. I can even give you a dog leash. From now on, we can walk on the street in broad daylight every day, and no one will dare to say a word against you."
"If there are any, I'll blow their skulls off and use them as dog bowls for you, how about that?"
Kubo Nao: "..."
Xiao Liu Xizi: "!!!"
After Jiang Chuan said this, Kubo Nao was stunned, while Xiao Yanagi Xizi opposite her suddenly turned red in the face.
