Natsume Liang's words are concise and to the point.

"You and your daughter have both been frightened recently, and it's inevitable that you'll have some unclean aura on you, making you more susceptible to attracting bad things."

"Carry this with you, and it will keep you safe."

"This……"

Thinking that she had been receiving Natsume Ryo's kindness all day, Mrs. Narimiya wanted to wave her hand and decline.

"Take it, Mrs. Narimiya."

But when Natsume Ryo's tone became firm.

"Ok."

Mrs. Narumiya's attitude softened noticeably. She pursed her lips, carefully took the talisman, and clutched it tightly in her palm.

"Oh, right, Natsume-kun..."

After putting away the amulet, Mrs. Narumiya seemed to remember something, and a troubled look appeared on her face.

"How am I supposed to explain this to the police?"

“After all, so many missing children have been found. As one of the parties involved, I should be summoned by the police and need to give a reasonable explanation.”

"As for that, Mrs. Narumiya doesn't need to worry."

Natsume Ryo waved his hand.

"The specific details will be handled by the police and will not involve you."

"These days, you just need to rest at home."

"This, this is it..."

A brief silence fell over the living room once again.

Finally, after finishing the tea in the cup.

"Okay, it's getting late."

"Now that your daughter is safe and sound, Mrs. Narumiya, you should get some rest."

"We'll take our leave now."

As Natsume Ryo spoke, he stood up from the sofa, preparing to leave.

"Huh? Is Natsume-kun leaving so soon?"

Mrs. Narumiya subconsciously stood up as well, her face full of reluctance.

"Would you like to sit a little longer? I... I'll go prepare some snacks for you..."

"No need, Mrs. Narimiya."

"I need to check on the other children, so it's inconvenient for me to take you with me."

Natsume Ryo shook his head.

"And what you need most right now is rest, not to keep working hard everywhere."

"We can come and bother you again once you have fully recovered."

After saying that, Natsume Ryo gave Mrs. Narimiya no chance to stay and turned to walk towards the entrance.

Geng Xizi and Ying Xizi exchanged a glance and naturally followed immediately.

Geng Wujiang hesitated for a moment, but finally bowed to Madam Cheng Gong and quickly followed.

"..."

Watching Natsume Ryo's decisive figure, Mrs. Narimiya opened her mouth, a clear look of disappointment flashing deep in her eyes, but she swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

……

Arriving at the entrance hall.

Just when Mrs. Narimiya thought that Natsume Ryo would leave and that their paths would cross again,

Natsume Ryo finally stopped what he was doing, no longer trying to pique her interest, and turned around.

"By the way, Mrs. Narimiya."

Natsume Ryo took out his phone.

"This is my contact information."

"If anything else happens, it will be convenient for you to contact me."

"what!"

"Okay, okay! Natsume-kun!"

Upon hearing this, Lady Narumiya finally calmed down completely, and a gentle smile from the heart returned to her face.

……

finally.

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Narumiya, whose mood had clearly improved significantly.

Walking down the residential street, a mischievous glint flashed in Geng Xizi's narrow eyes.

He then gently poked Natsume Ryo with his finger, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, and said in a low voice:

"Hey, Natsume-kun..."

You should have noticed, right?

"The way Mrs. Narimiya is looking at you is clearly strange..."

Chapter 120 Chiba Prefectural Central Hospital, Kurashiki Reina and her hot best friend, Miyajima Tsubaki

"Have it?"

Upon hearing this, Natsume Ryo glanced at Geng Xizi and asked dismissively.

"Of course there are..."

Geng Xizi saw that Natsume Ryo was pretending to be confused even though he knew the truth.

She let out a soft hum, gently poked his arm with her finger, and her tone became increasingly playful.

"They've lived for decades, after all."

"I see this very clearly."

"That kind of look isn't how an elder should look at a younger person..."

"Even though it was only our first meeting, the way I looked at you made me feel so attached."

"cough!

Before Geng Xizi could finish speaking...

On the other side, Kageyuko suddenly coughed loudly, interrupting her.

"Can't you think of anything worthwhile besides all this nonsense?"

"If this continues, it will be beyond saving sooner or later."

"Don't let me get caught up in your heat too."

"ha--!"

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

After being so bluntly rebuked by Ying Xizi, Geng Xizi raised an eyebrow. Instead of toning down, she intensified her attack, even deliberately puffing out her chest to make the breathtaking curves cling even more tightly to Natsume Ryo's arm.

"You are still the same!"

"They say they're bored, but their bodies still obediently follow along, don't they?"

“We’re sisters now, so I can see right through your little schemes…”

"Alright, you two, shut up."

Natsume Ryo rubbed his temples, feeling a bit helpless. He was too lazy to argue with these two clowns anymore and simply quickened his pace.

"Hey! Natsume-kun, wait for me!"

Upon seeing this, Geng Xizi quickly chased after him.

Yingxi snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and followed behind at a leisurely pace.

……

finally.

The group reached a fork in the road.

"Senior... um... I'll take my leave now."

It was at this time.

Geng Wujiang, who had been obediently following behind, seemed to have finally found a suitable opportunity, mustered up his courage, and stepped forward.

With a hint of reluctance on his face, he bowed deeply to Natsume Ryo.

"Thank you so much for today."

"If it weren't for you, senior, I... I really wouldn't know what to do."

Geng Wujiang's voice was filled with sincere gratitude, and a rare, faint blush appeared on his face.

It was just a small favor.

Natsume Ryo waved his hand, indicating that Geng Wujiang didn't need to be so polite.

"No!"

"What may have been a simple favor for our seniors is a life-saving grace for us."

"This kindness must never be forgotten!"

After speaking, Geng Wujiang bowed again.

"Alright, don't be so polite."

Seeing this, Natsume Ryo felt somewhat helpless.

"Now that Mrs. Narumiya is alright, you don't need to worry anymore."

"Go back now, you have a final exam next week, remember to get some rest."

"Yes! Senior!"

Geng Wujiang nodded vigorously, but did not leave immediately. He hesitated for a moment, as if he still had something to say.

"Is there anything else?" Natsume Ryo raised an eyebrow.

"That...senior."

Geng Wujiang pursed her lips, finally mustering her courage, and asked softly, "About what happened today... I... can I tell Jianzi?"

"of course can."

"She'll find out sooner or later anyway."

"I understand."

Having received an affirmative answer, Geng Wujiang bowed deeply to Natsume Ryo.

He glanced again at Yuuko and Kageyuko beside Natsume Ryo, his eyes filled with complex emotions. In the end, he said nothing more and turned to walk down another path.

……

"Hey, Natsume-kun, where do we go next?"

After Geng Wujiang's figure completely disappeared around the street corner, Geng Xizi immediately came over, her slender eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Although Ying Xizi didn't speak, she also cast an inquiring glance at her.

Upon hearing this, Natsume Ryo took out his phone and glanced at the time.
