What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

"It seems that Ms. Yukinoshita has a lot of experience in rejecting others." After hearing such a brief comment on his situation, Shiki retorted in a sarcastic tone.

But Yukinoshita didn't care about his teasing, and continued: "In fact, the method of judging your sincerity is very simple."

"What?" Si Ji was stunned.

"You just have to imagine in your mind... well, imagine a successful person with short blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a neat black handmade suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and always with an infuriating, cynical smile on his face. Let's temporarily call him Asshole A."

Si Ji was somewhat speechless: "...Isn't this example too detailed?"

"It's just an example." Yukinoshita Yukino avoided Shiki's gaze, trying to hide her prejudice: "One day, when you were going home, you saw Miss Yamada with a gentle smile on her face - the same expression she usually had when she looked at you. You were held by the hand by her and taken to a luxury car, and then the luxury car sped away under your gaze... May I ask, bastard B, oh, I mean Mr. Landlord, how do you feel now?"

Feeling is no feeling.

Shiki rubbed his temple.

The Yamada fairy was given to the minotaur by Qiu Lingwen? I am the minotaur myself? How the hell should I say this?

Washimiya Shiki died in the fight with Qiu Ling Bunpei. Why did I have such a dream?

Coming to his senses, he felt that this was probably not what Yukinoshita Yukino meant, so in his mind he replaced Qiu Ling Wenping in the other person's words with the image of Shigong Huang Guang.

Suddenly, a deep feeling of dissatisfaction filled his chest, as if the wife he had raised for ten years had turned into the shape of a terrorist and sweetly called her Mr. Lei.

"Well, I'll probably have someone stuff that thing into an oil drum, fill it with concrete, and sink it into Tokyo Bay."

He said with a wry smile.

For some reason, when Yukinoshita Yukino saw his expression, she felt a chill on her back.

There is absolutely no smile in this guy's eyes.

Seeing that Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be frightened by him, Shiki gave another slightly more genuine smile.

"It's just a joke, just a joke."

"I see..." The girl breathed a sigh of relief as she finally felt the temperature again.

"I'll just let that guy's life bloom on the rooftop."

“There is absolutely no difference between the two!”

Yukino complained, then looked at Shiki: "Now you understand your feelings for Ms. Yamada."

"……Yes."

Although Shiki felt that his feelings towards Yamada Fairy seemed to be more of a possessive feeling than love, he still nodded for the time being.

"Very good. But I still have to warn you, even if it's voluntary, the other party is only fourteen years old," Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Shiki: "If anything happens, I will call the police."

We are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, so how can you, a snow monster, object to us?

Although he wanted to say so, fourteen was indeed a little young. A big train couldn't be driven in a small tunnel, so Si Ji could only nod and say, "I understand..."

Then he realized something was wrong: "No, why did the topic become my love life!"

"Why?" The girl, who had been calm and expressionless from the beginning, finally showed a little fox-like smile with a hint of teasing: "I am also looking for the answer."

Chapter 116 I Threaten Me

"Although my words were a little harsh this morning," Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Shiki who appeared in the club room on time, and said helplessly, "But the Service Club is a formal club registered with the school after all. I think it's better for irrelevant people not to enter or stay at will."

"Don't say that."

Si Ji yawned, lazily lay on the table, and looked at the girl with malicious eyes, causing the latter to subconsciously move the seat under her butt and keep a certain safe distance from him.

But Shiki's gaze did not linger on Yukino, but fell on the book in her hand.

Whether it was the time when she came to the Service Club with Goto Ichiri, or when she occasionally passed by in the corridor, Shiki could always see Yukinoshita Yukino holding a book in her hands.

But at that time, the books in the girl's hands were either light novels or world classics (hardcover editions), and occasionally there would be pure literary publications, highlighting her literary girl attributes.

But now, what Yukinoshita Yukino holds in her hand is a gossip magazine that is not very popular in the Tokyo circle. It is in striking contrast to the image she established before, which makes people feel concerned.

"Why are you suddenly interested in this kind of stuff? If you want to read it, the gossip in this kind of magazine is not as credible as the Loch Ness Monster," Shiki said earnestly, posing like a senior. "If you want to read gossip, I suggest you go read Bunshun..."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in this kind of shoddy news, and I don't understand what pleasure can be gained from prying into other people's privacy." Yukino sighed, turned over the magazine in her hand, and unfolded the page she was reading to show Shiki.

Only then did Shiki realize that the other person was looking at a page that contained nearby job postings - it seemed that the publisher of this tabloid was located near Toyosaki.

"Are you looking for a part-time job?" Si Ji came to his senses.

"If the landlord can waive the rent, then I won't need to work." Yukino said casually.

"I dare to exempt you," Si Ji said meaningfully, "Do you dare to accept it?"

"…Did anyone say anything to you?" The smart Miss Yukino immediately realized something.

"more or less."

Four Seasons replied.

He didn't lie.

Not long after accepting the offer to rent an apartment from Yukinoshita Yukino yesterday, Qiu Ling Wenping's mobile phone immediately received relevant information. It seemed that on the day of the bet, the assistant he had instructed had hired several very powerful private detectives to monitor Yukinoshita Yukino.

The assistant even hinted at the need to send someone to warn the "small landlord" to reject Yukino's request for rent.

Of course Si Ji refused with a frown on his face, and asked the assistant to withdraw the other private detectives who were conducting surveillance.

Anyway, he was right next to the girl, so there was no need for such strict surveillance.

But even so, his 'Washimiya Shiki' mobile phone still received a threatening email today. Fortunately, the tone of the warning was not so 'evil', just asking him, an 'ordinary high school student', to be careful and not get too involved in Yukinoshita Yukino's affairs.

Si Ji was very moved, and then he added the sender to the blacklist, and used Qiu Ling Wenping's channel to warn his assistant not to be smart.

I think the other party should be much calmer now.

There was nothing he could do about it. After all, all the capable and trusted people under his command were stationed in the branches in various major countries, maintaining the balanced strategy of Maple Leaf Technology. Qiu Ling Wenping himself was in charge of Japan, so there were only a bunch of useless people left - otherwise, how could such an important place as the R&D team be infiltrated by a guy like Sigong Huangguang?

Two and a half years is still too short. Even if one has full-level business skills, and everything goes smoothly from discovering business talents, training them to being able to stand on their own, and then to becoming a trusted confidant, the process itself takes a lot of time, so Si Ji has never had many subordinates that he can truly trust.

Now he can still control the entire company with ease, but in another ten or twenty years, when the company is mixed with the influence of those big countries, it may not be as easy for him to control it as it is now - unless Si Ji gives up slacking off and other careers and devotes the rest of his life to the infighting in the business world, that would be another matter.

But this is destined to be impossible. For Si Ji, instead of devoting his entire life to Maple Leaf Technology, it is better for him to cut off his tail decisively when Maple Leaf Technology becomes someone else's color and leave with his confidants.

Anyway, the real core of the entire Maple Leaf Technology is only Qiu Ling Wenping. Apart from the system's technologies, the real wealth is only the confidants he has cultivated. There is nothing else that cannot be abandoned.

Once you have mastered the core technology, it is more refreshing to create a new company from scratch than to stay in the old company and engage in intrigue, bickering, and holding each other back.

"I'm sorry for causing you some unnecessary trouble." Yukinoshita Yukino rarely took the initiative to apologize to Shiki, and her expression became gloomy.

"It's okay, I was just threatened. I've encountered worse situations before, and I didn't give in then, let alone now."

Si Ji's tone was quite relaxed.

After all, he himself was the source of the problem, so naturally he didn't have any worries or troubles at all.

For him, the situation was much worse than it is now, even when Maple Leaf Technology did not have any flagship products except Baymax, and Chiba had not even completely emerged as a well-known brand yet was targeted by the Yukinoshita family.

Seeing that Shiki didn't seem to be pretending, Yukinoshita Yukino felt a little relieved and felt a little warm in her heart.

Although not everyone is like this, humans are creatures that seek benefits and avoid harm. When encountering trouble, most people's first reaction is generally to keep a distance from the trouble.

Not to mention those Japanese who like to 'read the air', all of them have mastered the Simi Marseille cutting technique to perfection.

People like Si Ji who don't care about the troubles they bring to themselves and don't even change their attitude are really a minority among the minority.

Then I heard Shiki say happily: "If you have to go to work after school, will this activity room be unused? You won't be using it anyway, so how about giving me the key? Fairies keep coming to my room lately, so I want to put some little secrets of men (referring to Fuyuo Kishihisa's comics) that are not convenient to keep at home here..."

The girl's warm gaze suddenly dropped below zero degrees, and she responded loudly with a faint, rare sweet smile on her face.

"Don't even think about it."

Chapter 117 Shakespeare

Yukinoshita Yukino was angry.

Although he didn't know why the other person was angry, after two days of getting along, Si Ji was able to clearly see various emotions from the other person's cold gaze.

Come to think of it, even though their expressions haven't changed much, Yukinoshita Yukino and Shiina Mashiro give people completely different feelings.

The former is always cold, as if he is rejecting others all the time, while Shiina Mashiro's expressionless face is closer to natural emotional indifference - this is actually not quite right, Shiki once saw Shiina Mashiro's paintings on the Internet, and with his level 8 painting skills, he naturally has the same level of appreciation for paintings.

Even though he hadn't seen the paintings in person, he could still clearly feel the rich emotions of the artists from those paintings. If he thought about it this way, Shiina Mashiro might just be suffering from facial paralysis in a physiological sense...

I've gone off topic. Anyway, I still have to regain some favor with Yukinoshita Yukino first.

"The job postings published in magazines generally don't hire high school students because they have limited rest time and can't schedule shifts at will, which is very troublesome."

Shiki said to the girl, "But I happen to know a store where high school students can work part-time. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"What kind of store is it?" Yukinoshita Yukino became a little interested when she heard it.

“…A coffee shop.”

"What's going on with that strange pause? Could it be some shady coffee shop?" The girl's eyes sharpened.

"No, that cafe is pretty normal, and the atmosphere is pretty good."

Shiki waved his hand, "And I'll go with you. This way you'll have an explanation to the goblin, right?"

"Did you hear that?"

Yukino paused as she put the magazine away, feeling a little guilty for some reason.

After dinner yesterday, when Shiki was washing dishes, Yamada Fairy suddenly found her and hoped that she could help him see if there were any girls that Shiki had a good relationship with at school. She even offered a large sum of money as a reward.

Yukino didn't accept the money, but she still agreed with amusement.

But they didn't expect that the content of the two people's barely whispered conversation was actually overheard by Si Ji, the real person.

"I waited in the kitchen until you two finished talking before I brought out the dessert."

Shiki put his hands on his hips with a smug look on his face, while Yukino sighed helplessly, not knowing why he was so proud.

However, after being interrupted by him, the girl did not refuse his kindness and squeezed into the bus with him to Akihabara.

In the car, Yukino asked curiously, "Come to think of it, don't Miss Yamada's family members worry about her? Not only did they let her live alone outside, they also gave her such a large sum of money to spend as she pleases..."

Judging from the way the other party casually spent money last night, Yukino guessed that the amount of money that the Yamada fairy had at her disposal was probably much more than when she was the second lady of the Yukinoshita family in her heyday.

Giving a 14-year-old girl so much money and letting her live alone outside is, no matter what, too generous of her family. This will not have a good influence on an ordinary child.

In other words, Si Ji is relatively moral. Even though the other party is throwing him away, he does not cross the line and show his fangs to the girl. If it were a real scumbag, the girl might have been eaten up by him.

"Come to think of it, you don't know yet," Shiki suddenly realized, as if he had never introduced Yamada Fairy to her. "Yamada Fairy is that girl's pen name. She's a best-selling light novel writer. All that money is earned by herself, not given to her by her family."

Although when chatting with Yamada Chris, the other party also inadvertently revealed that the Granger family is also a middle-class family with considerable assets.

However, the girl’s family background had absolutely no impact on Si Ji, and would not change his evaluation of the girl - no matter how rich she was, she was not as rich as him anyway.

"Eh……"

As expected, Yukinoshita Yukino didn't know about this, and was surprised when Shiki said this: "Yamada Fairy... Hmm, it does sound a little familiar..."

She thought for a moment, but her eyebrows were still twisted.

Shiki knew at a glance that she had racked her brains for a long time but couldn't think of what novel Yamada Fairy had written, so she said, "You may not have read her novel, but you should have heard of the name, "The Exploding Dark Fairy"."

“So it’s this one.”

Yukinoshita Yukino then remembered why she felt that the author name Yamada Yaojing was subtly familiar, but she couldn't remember having read her books, because she really hadn't read her books, she had only heard about them on TV, and it was from her idol Natsume Makuryu that "the novel is 'good for nothing except being interesting'."

"Isn't it enough to be interesting? For most readers, this is enough to be a reason to buy the book."

Shiki was quite tolerant: "And to be honest, I quite like fairy novels."

Although the artistic elements are completely incomparable, in Shiki's eyes, Fairy's novels are actually a bit like Shiina Mashiro's paintings. Both of them are wantonly waving their talents and releasing all their passion on paper, the only difference is that one is manuscript paper and the other is canvas.

Yamada Fairy was desperate to find Kashiwagi Eri and ask her to draw illustrations for her. She probably felt that the original illustrator was no longer able to express all the emotions she had poured out. Similarly, Shiina Mashiro gave up the normal oil painting art world and turned to comics. She didn't stop even though she was beaten to a pulp. She probably felt that ordinary oil paintings could hardly express all her emotions, so she wanted to choose comics that could carry more information.

"Of course it's not enough. The real art of writing should be like that of Mr. Natsume Makuryu. It not only has interesting stories, but also overflows with talent between the lines. It also has an extremely rich humanistic care and social responsibility. No matter how many times you read it, you can see the depth of new things in it. At the same time, it does not simply express depth with darkness and cruelty, but has ideological connotations that can make people continue to dig deeper!"

Yukinoshita Yukino said without hesitation: "Every time I read his works, I feel like I am not just reading, but having a soulful exchange with the words! This is a truly meaningful work!"

"You're right, but isn't it a bit too much to compare Natsume Makuru to Yamada Elf?" Shiki couldn't help but complain: "Why don't you use Shakespeare to step on the bowstring Izuru (the author of the masterpiece "IS")!"

The girl looked away as if nothing had happened and said nothing.
