Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Yu Xue understood what Li Xin meant, and her face turned even redder: "Brother Xin, you're making fun of me!"

"No way, how could I dare!"

Li Xin smiled and said.

Lai Sheng Ai stared enviously at the ice cream in Yu Xue's hand, not because she was particularly craving ice cream, but because...

This ice cream was a gift from Ashin!

Given Ashin's stinginess, he's been to Cat's Eye Cafe so many times, and the most he ever spent was on a cup of milk, which cost a whopping 150 yen. How could someone like him buy ice cream for someone else?!

Although it's just an ordinary ice cream, costing at most a few hundred yen, the fact that it was bought by Li Xin makes it all the more meaningful.

Seeing Lai Sheng Ai's expression, Li Xin asked her, "Little Ai, do you want some ice cream too?"

"No, no! I'm not a child anymore, why would I want to eat such childish things!"

Lai Sheng was stubborn, but she still secretly observed Li Xin's expression and whispered, "But if you insist on treating, Brother Xin..."

"Thanks, that saves me the money I would have spent on ice cream."

Li Xin smiled.

That's outrageous! You don't even know how to bribe the president! I'm going to abuse my power and fire you!

Lai Sheng Ai was so angry that her head was practically steaming, when Li Xin said, "I was just kidding. Xiao Ai, go keep Xiao Xue company, and I'll go buy you and Miss Cai Zhai an ice cream."

After returning to the village and learning that everyone there was kind, Li Xin no longer needed to be so petty. As for Kiyosa Ai, she was a given, and Aya Tsukishiro also knew him and called him Brother Xin. If he bought ice cream for Yu Xue and Kiyosa Ai but not for her, how heartbroken she would be.

"I want strawberry flavor!"

This time, Ai didn't act arrogant anymore and said directly.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go buy it right away."

Li Xin said to Lai Sheng Ai, and then told Xiao Xue to get along well with Lai Sheng Ai.

After Li Xin left, Yu Xue nervously said to Lai Sheng Ai, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Lai Sheng Ai said, "It's okay, you can speak Chinese, I know some Chinese."

After meeting Li Xin, Kiyosa Ai took the time to learn Chinese, thinking that one day she might be able to converse with Li Xin in Chinese. Unexpectedly, before she could even use it with Li Xin, she started communicating with Yu Xue in Chinese first.

Hearing the familiar language, Yu Xue's nervousness subsided, and she said to Lai Sheng'ai, "Hello, my name is Yu Xue, you can call me Xiao Xue."

Kisugi Ai said to Yuki, "My name is Kisugi Ai. You can call me Ai-chan. That impetuous girl just now is my friend. Her name is Azuki Natsumi. She also knows Shin-chan."

To be precise, Azuki Natsumi knew Li Xin before Kisugi Ai did, and even when Azuki Natsumi was already calling him "Brother Xin," Kisugi Ai still harbored some hostility towards Li Xin.

"In the next life..."

Upon hearing this surname, Yu Xue immediately asked, "Xiao Ai, who is Sister Xiao Lei...?"

"Hehe, it's my eldest sister!"

In the next life, I will love to be proud and authentic.

Yu Xue looked at Lai Sheng Ai with great envy: "I knew it! When I first saw Xiao Ai, I thought you looked a bit like Sister Xiao Lei!"

"is it?"

Lai Sheng Ai was pleasantly surprised. To her, this was the greatest compliment to her beauty. In her heart, her eldest sister was the most beautiful and charming woman in the world. To be able to resemble Lai Sheng Lei was to say that she was beautiful and charming!

In an instant, the way Lai Sheng looked at Yu Xue changed.

"Come on, Xiaoxue, let me take you to pick out some clothes. Your outfit is too outdated. Let me show you!"

I will love the ski slopes in my next life.

"is it?"

Yu Xue looked down at it, somewhat embarrassed: "This was picked out for me by Brother A-Xin. Is it tacky? I think it looks great!"

"..."

Lai Sheng Ai paused for a moment, then quickly changed her tune, saying, "Ah, I didn't look closely just now, but it seems alright now. But it's never a bad thing to change your outfit a few more times. Come on, come with me, I just saw a few clothes that seem to suit you!"

Yu Xue naturally didn't object, and then she joined Lai Sheng Ai in picking out clothes.

When Li Xin returned to the clothing store with two ice creams, he saw Yu Xue carrying a huge pile of clothes, almost burying her completely. Only her voice could be heard coming from behind the clothes: "Xiao Ai, too much! Too many clothes! I don't need so many!"

But Lai Sheng Ai had developed a taste for picking out clothes, and kept throwing clothes at Yu Xue: "Really, Xiao Xue, what are you saying? No girl ever thinks she has too many clothes! Here, try this one on!"

Ayatsuki Natsumi chimed in, "That's right, Yuki, you're so cute, you deserve more pretty clothes!"

Both she and Laishengai are on the taller side, so they can't wear many cute clothes. Yu Xue, on the other hand, is only a little over 1.5 meters tall, but she has everything. She's like a giant doll, and all kinds of cute clothes can be put on her, fully satisfying their desire to dress up.

Looking at Yu Xue, who was being manipulated like a toy by Kisei Ai and Azuki Natsumi, Li Xin thought for a moment and finally concluded that they got along quite well.

The three girls spent a long time choosing clothes in the clothing store, but in the end each only bought a few sets. However, this seemed to be a matter of course for the girls, so Li Xin didn't say anything.

"Let's go, let's go to the next store!"

In the next life, I'll hold up my ice cream and prepare to sprint to the next store.

Yu Xue hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Ai, maybe we should call it a day. We've already bought quite a lot..."

Those clothes already cost a lot of money; if she had to spend more, she really felt sorry for Li Xin.

Lai Sheng Ai looked at Li Xin: "Brother Xin, what do you say?"

Without hesitation, Li Xin replied, "Of course we should continue. We've only bought clothes so far, but there are still shoes and underwear to go with. It's rare to have someone accompany you, so Xiaoxue, why don't you just buy everything at once? Otherwise, you can't expect a guy like me to go to the underwear store with you, can you?"

When Li Xin said this, he gave Yu Xue a particularly helpless look.

Ah-Xin accompanied me to buy underwear...

Thinking of that scene, Yu Xue's face turned as red as could be, and she could only nod in agreement, "Alright then..."

In the next life, Ai Qingqing and Li Xin clapped hands, yay!

Chapter 108 The Professionalism of the Rice Flower People

"President!"

"President!"

"President!"

Inside the department store, Kazuo Tsukamoto walked with his hands behind his back, and his entourage was quite impressive. Behind him were the department store manager and a large group of bodyguards, and in front of him, department store staff kept bowing to him, making him look like an emperor on a royal procession.

Kazuo Tsukamoto glanced indifferently at the attentive employees, but inwardly he sneered.

These people have no idea that I'm already planning to sell this shopping mall, yet they're still trying to curry favor with me here...

As a human being, Kazuo Tsukamoto should apologize to the entire human race, because he was an absolutely terrible person, and this terribleness manifested in every aspect of his life.

Even though he was already planning to sell the department store, he still swaggered around inside, enjoying the "worship" of the staff.

The staff were unaware that the mall was about to change owners and were still trying to curry favor with Kazuo Tsukamoto. This ineffective and ridiculous behavior seemed especially comical to Tsukamoto.

Kazuo Tsukamoto's procession was so grand that it even affected the customers in the department store. Ai Kisei, Yu Xue, and Natsumi Ayatsuki had just finished shopping at a shoe store and bought Yu Xue a pair of beautiful sandals. When they saw so many people surrounding Kazuo Tsukamoto, they couldn't help but wonder, "Is some big star here?"

"I don't know, shall we go and take a look?"

Natsuki Ayatsuki was itching to make a move; what if her favorite celebrity came? Wouldn't that be a huge win!

Lai Sheng Ai thought so too, so she said to Li Xin and Yu Xue, "Brother Xin, Xiao Xue, let's go over there and take a look!"

Li Xin naturally wouldn't object. Since Lai Sheng Ai had accompanied Yu Xue to buy so many things, he naturally wanted to reciprocate. He nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Xin nodded, and Yu Xue naturally followed. So the four of them walked over together, and then they discovered that the center of the crowd was not some popular celebrity, but a decrepit old man.

"Oh, so he's not a celebrity after all. What a disappointment!"

Ya Yue Cai was the first to sigh.

Kiyosa Ai looked at the old man carefully for a moment, then said, "That person... seems to be Kazuo Tsukamoto, the chairman of the Tsukamoto Group, an extremely wealthy man. I think this shopping mall belongs to him too!"

Kisugi Ai was a member of "Cat's Eye" after all. Even though she wasn't interested, Kisugi Rui forced her to get to know many dangerous people in Tokyo, and Tsukamoto Kazuo was one of them. Kisugi Ai was told to stay away from him whenever she saw him.

Yu Xue also saw Tsukamoto Kazuo. Although he was now just a somewhat dignified old man, Yu Xue instinctively felt disgust and fear towards him. She tugged at Li Xin's sleeve and said to him, "Brother Xin, let's go. This man is a bit scary..."

Yu Xue's voice wasn't loud, and the surrounding environment was somewhat noisy, but for some reason, Tsukamoto Kazuo immediately recognized the voice.

This is... the Central Plains dialect! There are women from the Central Plains here!

Kazuo Tsukamoto immediately turned to look in the direction where Yu Xue was, and then he saw a pair of incredibly pure eyes.

In that instant, Kazuo Tsukamoto seemed to have returned to his youth.

At that time, he stood on the land of the Central Plains...

Hehe, hehe!

Recalling those days, Kazuo Tsukamoto felt as if he had become young again.

If the sorcerers of the "Nine Chrysanthemums Sect" gave him the abilities of a man and restored his body to youth, then Yu Xue restored his soul to its youthful state.

I must have this woman!

The thought of seeing pain in those innocent eyes made Kazuo Tsukamoto feel physically overwhelmed. He beckoned to someone behind him, and a bodyguard immediately came over. Kazuo whispered a few words to the bodyguard, who nodded slightly and then quietly left the group.

Feeling hot and bothered, Kazuo Tsukamoto suddenly didn't want to waste any more time here. He said to his secretary, "I'm tired. Let's go back to headquarters. Cancel all the remaining appointments. Also, have Kanako and Yukiko come over."

He's feeling a bit unwell right now and needs to eat some appetizers before having a big meal.

Are you tired? You probably just have too much energy to burn.

The secretary thought to herself.

As a senior secretary who had served Kazuo Tsukamoto for over ten years, he knew that Kazuo Tsukamoto wasn't always like this. He had already lost his ability when he was in his sixties and was no longer obsessed with sex. But a few years ago, Kazuo Tsukamoto seemed to blossom again, regaining his sexual prowess and becoming insatiable with women every day.

This wouldn't have been a big deal, since the secretary had heard that humans develop a strong instinct to have offspring before they die, and that some elderly people nearing death experience improvement in that area before they die.

But clearly, Tsukamoto Kazuo was not like that. He worked hard for several years and not only did he not feel exhausted, but he was also radiant and looked much younger than before. His secretary couldn't help but wonder if the old man had taken that kind of thing as a form of rest.

However, this change seems to come with certain side effects. That is, Tsukamoto Kazuo's desires in that area become difficult to control. Once he has them, he must release them. However, the Tsukamoto Group was built by Tsukamoto Kazuo himself. He is the absolute authority in the group, and no one can question his orders, no matter how absurd they may be.

So at this point, he asked to "rest" and cancel his entire schedule. His secretary could only bow to him and say, "Yes, Chairman, I will give the order right away."

Kazuo Tsukamoto suddenly turned back home. Ai Kisei and Natsuki Azusa, seeing that it wasn't a celebrity coming, had long lost interest and stopped paying attention to the situation there. Yu Xue naturally didn't care either. Only Li Xin frowned slightly.

Just now, he clearly felt a tremendous malice.

However, this malice was fleeting, and with so many people in the department store, Li Xin couldn't determine who had sent it.

Never mind, it's probably not aimed at me.

Li Xin thought to himself, if this malice was directed at him, he would have been able to sense the person who released it instantly. It was only because the malice wasn't directed at him that he couldn't pinpoint the target. But since it wasn't directed at him, he decided to ignore it.

Well, this is Beika Town after all. Any trivial matter can escalate into a murder case. Such sudden malice is all too normal.

After spending some time shopping at the department store with Ai and Azuki Natsumi, Li Xin bid farewell to the two of them, along with Yu Xue, who had made quite a few purchases.

"Brother Xin, I can get back by myself. You can just drop me off here!"

Yu Xue spoke to Li Xindao.

Li Xin thought for a moment. The malice that had suddenly appeared in the department store was still bothering him. He said to Xue, "Let me go back with you. I also want to meet your boss to thank him for taking care of you."

Mihana Town is too dangerous; Li Xin felt uneasy if he didn't accompany Yu Xue back to the restaurant.

Hearing Li Xin say that, Yu Xue could no longer refuse his company and nodded, saying, "Okay, the boss is a very nice person. Brother Xin, you will definitely think so too when you meet him."

Seeing that Yu Xue spoke with certainty, it could be assumed that Yu Xue had not been bullied at the restaurant. Li Xin smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

As Li Xin and Yu Xue walked towards the tram station, they passed through a small alley. After a few steps, Li Xin suddenly stopped and said to Yu Xue, "Xiao Xue, I just remembered that I forgot to buy something. Why don't you go ahead first, and I'll go back and buy it, then catch up with them right away."

Yu Xue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Xin, I didn't expect you to be so forgetful. Go on, I'll wait for you here."

"No, you go first. I'm fast and I'll catch up soon."

Li Xin was interested in the ski slope.

"Uh... well then."

Although Yu Xue found it strange that Li Xin insisted on walking alone, she nodded and headed towards the tram station by herself.

After Yu Xue left, Li Xin's expression instantly turned cold. He entered the alley, and soon two men in black suits stepped forward, trying to follow Yu Xue who was walking further and further away. Just as they passed through the alley, two hands reached out from inside and grabbed them by the neck from behind, dragging them inside.

In the alley, Li Xin lifted the two men in black suits high into the air and asked them, "What are you two doing following my sister?"

They didn't hesitate when they saw Li Xin leave, but continued to follow Yu Xue directly, clearly their target was Yu Xue.

How did she, a young girl who had just arrived in the Central Plains, manage to offend someone in Japan?
