"That's a real shame. Let's go have some fun, Miss." Chika didn't bring up anyone's sore spot and picked up her zither to walk towards the roller coaster.
The music, never forgetting to turn back, seemed to say, "Take a good rest~"
"know."
Li Zhu watched the two board the ship, stood up straight, and quietly left.
He is indeed afraid of heights, but not to the point that his legs go weak. He was just putting on an act to get rid of them.
Just as he reached the vicinity of the Ferris wheel's work platform, a smiling woman stopped him.
"Where are you in such a hurry to go?"
……
Chapter 147 The Leaker
"you are?"
Li Zhu watched as the woman in front of her slowly turned around, revealing a familiar and beautiful face.
"It's been so long since I've come to see you, don't you remember me?" Miki said with a smile.
"So it was you!" Li Zhu subconsciously took a step back and placed her finger on the phone's buttons.
Just press it and it's an alarm button. No, it's not an alarm, it should be a call to the Self-Defense Forces. The two are fundamentally very different, even the numbers are different.
"Don't be so nervous. Logically speaking, shouldn't lovers be happy to reunite after a long separation?" She blinked, completely unconcerned about Li Zhu's action of putting her hand into her pocket.
"Hehe, whether we're lovers or not, don't you and I both know the truth?" Li Zhu shook her head with a smile, no longer wanting to play the fool.
If he continues to be so timid and hesitant, he'll soon stop being himself.
In the movie, Xiao Li Zhu fights back desperately when he is bullied. After meeting Kui, he gets used to compromising and almost forgets that he was never a timid person. In school bullying, those who are bullied but dare not fight back will continue to be bullied, so you should fight back.
"I'm so sad. We clearly agreed on this on the rooftop. Are you lying back then? So you're going to betray me?" Miki pouted, complaining pitifully. The villain was the one who started accusing her.
"Don't move! Just stand there. There are so many people watching. What do you want to do?" Li Zhu's eyelids twitched, and she took a few steps back.
When the woman mentioned lying and betrayal, her hand unconsciously reached for her thigh. Li Zhu knew all too well what she was thinking.
"You really don't trust me? Am I that scary?" Miki's pitiful expression remained unchanged, but her voice was noticeably colder.
Is this woman really going to pull off some kind of "seven-step-and-fast-punch-within-seven-steps" act?
"I'll believe you if you step back ten meters."
Before she could reply, Li Zhu retreated three meters, her heart pounding with anxiety. She quietly moved her fingers to another key, which was for Hinata Kotone.
If he hadn't been prepared with his phone, he wouldn't have been so confident. Plus, he was handsome enough that people around him kept looking at them with curiosity.
Having dealt with her several times, Riki had done his research on her. As her favorite "secret lover," he believed that Fujiwara Miki would definitely prefer him alive.
In addition, she always seemed wary of her true self being exposed. Despite her extraordinary skills, she was timid and hesitant, not daring to act openly, and only daring to secretly carry out her plans for stalking and kidnapping.
Therefore, he believed that Fujiwara Miki was threatening him rather than actually intending to harm him.
Besides, a long black skirt is definitely not as convenient to lift as a short school uniform skirt, which would be enough for him to call for help.
"Mom, we ran into that big brother again. What are he and that sister doing?" The little girl suddenly stopped and tugged at her mother's skirt as they passed by.
"It's him again?!" The mother turned around and looked at Li Zhu's familiar handsome face, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh no! Has he been following us, mother and daughter?!"
The young mother couldn't help but think of strange things like mother-daughter rice bowls, her face changed, and she grabbed her daughter and fled again.
suddenly,
"Hey, Li Zhu, what a coincidence! You're at the amusement park this weekend too?" A magnetic voice sounded from behind, and a hand landed on his shoulder.
With her mind highly focused, Li Zhu instinctively lashed out with her elbow, only to be met with a thick, hard palm. It was as if the person had known beforehand that Li Zhu would do this.
"This is too dangerous. Are you planning to send me to the hospital, Li Zhu?"
Riku finally recognized who it was and exclaimed in shock, "Hoshino Teru?"
"It's me. I didn't expect you to still remember me."
Hoshino Teru had an innocent and harmless appearance, with fair and delicate skin. His smile was very pleasing to the eye, revealing a set of white teeth, which showed his friendliness.
"You two know each other?" Miki, who was not far away, frowned.
She felt a little anxious. What was this guy doing? This wasn't the plan, yet he had to come out at this time.
“He’s given me candy several times, so I guess we know each other.” As he spoke, Hoshino Teru took a piece of candy out of his pocket and smiled shyly at her.
Li Zhu, standing beside him, saw it all very clearly. He always remembered everything that had passed through his hands and that he had bought; it was a small habit of the poor.
'I've never given him this brand of candy, and this guy never accepts it,' he thought to himself, becoming wary of this unusual fellow.
"Hmph, you two have your chat then, I'm leaving first." Miki snorted coldly at Hoshino Teru's smiling face and turned to leave, coming and going quickly.
The two watched her walk away.
Led by Hoshino Teru, Riki followed him to the second floor of the observation deck.
Hoshino Teru suddenly turned cold, reverting to the sour face that Riki knew so well. "That was close, you almost got taken away by her, you know that?"
"..." Li Zhu's doubts deepened.
I don't think I know him very well.
The previous times Li Zhu visited, this guy had a sour face and remained unmoved. Now he's suddenly trying to get close to her. It's hard not to be suspicious.
"Do you feel safe in a crowd? Is that why you provoked her?"
Li Zhu admitted that he had such thoughts, but he was definitely not like he was in the orphanage who acted blindly. Now he was very clear about what he was doing. Although he was not good at scheming, sticking to powerful people to save his life was his forte.
The idea of "clinging to someone's coattails" sounds strange; it should be more accurate to say that they should use Hinata Kotone to maneuver around Fujiwara Miki.
"What safety? Why do you want to take me away, Miki-san?" Riki pretended to be clueless.
Judging from Hoshino Teru's tone, it seems he also knows Fujiwara Miki's true colors?
“A few days ago, she came to threaten me into doing things for her, and her targets were you and Hinata Kotone,” Hoshino Teru replied in a low voice. “If I had been any later, you would have been taken away just now.”
“That can’t be right, how could she possibly lay a hand on Hinata Kotone?” Riki retorted.
“Why is it impossible?” Hoshino Teru stared at him coldly.
"I don't know, but it probably won't happen." Li Zhu couldn't quite put her finger on the feeling.
As a gamer, he successfully completed the storyline. Fujiwara Miki's almost pathological love for Hinata Kotone was particularly impressive. She was like a dragon hovering around the princess, yet she never harbored any ill will towards Kotone.
After the game's storyline changed, although she still showed affection for Li Zhu, it was clearly different from her feelings for Qin Yin. Li Zhu could sense the difference, just like a man who was talking about liking big breasts one second, but after falling silent, he still liked his soulmate who resonated with him.
"What do you think she was trying to do just now?" Li Zhu asked another question.
“She’s drugged you. She has a special kind of drug. Anyway, she’ll have plenty of opportunities to get you down,” Hoshino Teru replied.
"Another drug?! Where does she get so many insidious things?" Li Zhu couldn't help but click her tongue in astonishment.
"I don't know. All I know is that it seems to have been developed by a family called Sakurai." He shrugged.
“The Sakurai family…” Riki had heard of this family more than once. Whenever some strange medicine appeared, it was always associated with this family.
The two chatted for a while longer about Fujiwara Miki's plan. Hoshino Teru told Riki about the plan without reservation, revealing the details very clearly, as if it were a plan he had come up with himself.
"Remember, within two weeks, don't let her find an opportunity. I'll take care of her for you then!"
"Ok!"
Hoshino Teru turned to leave.
'Wait, the lines actually match!' Li Zhu realized and looked at his back in surprise.
After obtaining candy from somewhere, Hoshino Teru began helping Riki fight against Fujiwara Miki, and in the end, even the dialogue was exactly the same as the original game storyline.
Is this a coincidence or fate?
"Then you're telling me all this, aren't you afraid of her revenge?" Li Zhu went up to him and finally asked the core question.
He said he was threatened. What made him feel that helping Riki was easier than helping Fujiwara Miki?
Li Zhu asked herself if she could do something as risky as leaking secrets.
……
Chapter 148 Are you alright?
Hoshino Teru paused for a moment, then said, "To be honest, being threatened by a woman is a difficult thing to talk about, but I hate living under someone else's control even more."
"Besides, if I were really afraid of her revenge, I wouldn't have come to save you. Think about it, you should already be unconscious by now." He looked somewhat helpless.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhu nodded and was about to speak.
Hoshino Teru didn't give him a chance, and said seriously, "Remember what I said, don't let her get her way."
"I'm usually very careful, no need for you to remind me," Li Zhu said with a dismissive smile.
"By the way, who gave you this candy?"
"It was a gift from Miki."
"I see, it's alright now."
Seeing his appearance, Hoshino Teru seemed to want to say something, but in the end he left without saying anything.
"Is there really such a good thing in the world? I was just thinking of getting rid of Fujiwara Miki, a potential threat, and Hoshino Teru has delivered himself to my doorstep, saying he'll take care of her within two weeks..."
Li Zhu leaned against the wall, lost in thought, and accidentally pressed a button on her phone, making a call.
The call was answered in less than three seconds.
"Li Zhu, where did you go?" Qin Yin's anxious voice rang out.
"..."
Damn, I accidentally pressed it, now I can't escape.
……
Around 4 p.m.
"If I go shopping with a woman again, I'll be a dog!" Back home, Li Zhu lay on the sofa, looking exhausted, like a dog sticking out its tongue in the summer.
"Why is it that women who get tired after walking just a few steps can shop all day and still look radiant? I don't understand," he muttered discontentedly.
Alas, there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not...
Li Zhu opened her phone, pulled her legs up, and comfortably lay on the sofa, scrolling through the photos sent by Hinata Kotone.
The photo only shows him and Kotone. Chika left after leaving the amusement park, giving the two of them some alone time.
After Chika disappeared, Kotone became noticeably more "cheerful and bold," just like when she was putting on makeup. She was playful and mischievous, throwing tantrums and pestering Rin to play with her. The handsome man and beautiful woman were an enviable pair, a match made in heaven.
Li Zhu pulled out a photo that showed Qin Yin covering her head with tears in her eyes. Recalling the scene, he couldn't help but smile.
"This idiot dares to call herself my sister. She clearly doesn't understand anything, yet she leads me recklessly. She's just like Sister Haiyin, no, in some ways she's even more clueless than Sister Haiyin."
Even Li Zhu forgot that she was subconsciously comparing the sound of the zither with the sound of the sea.
Is it really that fun to play with me?
Every single one of them featured Hinata Kotone's unguarded or mischievous smile, a smile that was always the same, like a hydrangea blooming in the wind, infectious and completely different from how she was at school.
It makes one wonder, which one is she: the aloof and ruthless disciplinary committee member at school, the spoiled girl with heavy makeup and pigtails, or the shy young lady who secretly held Li Zhu's hand today?
Perhaps she was too tired, and soon after, Li Zhu, still puzzled, fell into a deep sleep on the sofa.
However, I always have many dreams in the afternoon as evening approaches.
The things in his dream were even more fragmented and indistinct. He saw a blurry and sinister smiling face, heard desperate and sorrowful cries, until the sharp siren of an ambulance pierced the sky.
Suddenly the scene shifted, and many people were gathered around a bed. Li Zhu managed to squeeze in, but he couldn't make out who was lying on the bed. All he knew was that the white sheets around her abdomen were stained with blood...
Ding-dong, ding-dong ding-dong—
The urgent doorbell rang, waking Li Zhu up. He subconsciously looked up at the clock on the wall.
6:10.
"It's already this late."
ding dong ding dong --
"They're here, they're here."
