Jiuzhi Che lay on the bed, ignoring Hei Zhenzi's shaking.

"Hey! You promised to tutor me, and you're just giving up like this?"

"I'd be happy to tutor a normal person, but that doesn't include tutoring a donkey."

You're calling me a donkey?!

Black Sadako was furious. She plopped down on his stomach and pounded his chest repeatedly. "It's your fault for not teaching him well!"

"I didn't expect you couldn't even learn multiplication up to ten. It's okay!" Jiu Zhiche sat up, grasped her shoulders, and said, "Don't give up. I'll hire the best teacher to teach you!"

Black Sadako looked at him, and thought... "Hmm... handsome."

Her mind was blank, and she couldn't think of any other words, but when she saw Jiu Zhiche's face, those two words popped into her head.

Black Sadako pursed her lips: "I don't want anyone to teach me."

"Teach me again, and I'm sure I'll learn it!"

Jiuzhiche lazily put his arm around her shoulder, taught her again, and gave her a test.

Black Sadako answered quickly.

What does this mean? It means she wasn't serious at all before.

Jiuzhiche had already guessed it.

Sadako smiled helplessly. Actually, Black Sadako just liked the feeling of being with Ache.

She's very hypocritical and not frank.

The next day.

Yesterday, the group just did a quick stroll around. Today, they're going to meet the bride, Leilia, first, and then explore Nancheng City properly.

Sadako prepared a wedding gift and also prepared one for Black Sadako to take with her.

Jiuzhi Che prepared for both himself and the little girl Tomie.

You can't just leave someone else's wedding unprepared.

After all, Lelia is Sadako's good friend.

"Sadako! Long time no see!"

Leilia opened the door and was overjoyed to see Sadako. She wanted to hug Sadako, but stopped herself at the last moment. She simply held Sadako's hand and welcomed everyone in, "Kyushiki-kun, and two beautiful ladies, welcome."

She remembered that Sadako didn't really like physical contact with others, not even her best friends.

Since the incident at the circus, Leilia has become even more cautious.

"Lelia, happy marriage."

Sadako's smile was so healing and comforting. After giving the gift to Lelia, she couldn't help but wonder about her recent situation.

"The wedding arrangements seem to have been made a little too quickly this time. Is everything alright, Leilia?"

Leilia's nose stung slightly, but she quickly suppressed the bitterness welling up inside her and forced a smile. "It's fine. As for why the wedding was scheduled so hastily, it's because the next auspicious date isn't until the end of the year, which is too far away, so..."

The two were having a private conversation, while Jiu Zhiche was looking around the apartment. It was in the city center, about 100 square meters, and the furnishings showed that some thought had been put into them. At first glance, it looked quite nice.

but......

"The flowers on the table haven't been watered for at least two days; they're a bit wilted." The little girl, Tomie, rested her chin on her hand, her Sherlock Holmes-like demeanor kicking in. "There's a small piece of uncleaned glass under the corner of the dining table. Judging from the slight scratches on the floor, it indicates a heated argument took place."

"besides."

Fukufumi pushed up her non-existent glasses. "We've been here for five minutes, and that man hasn't shown up. Either he doesn't care about this woman, and therefore doesn't care about her friends, or he just had a fight and doesn't want to come back."

Jiuzhiche chuckled and said, "The beginning sounded reasonable and well-founded, but the rest was just your guess."

Black Sadako scoffed, showing absolutely no interest in what the little girl Tomie was saying.

"Xiao Jian is very busy. After all, he is a programmer, and working overtime is a common occurrence. But he has been exceptionally busy these past few months, and sometimes he doesn't even come home at night."

Leilia gave a helpless look, but it was just a pretense of relaxation.

Sadako sensed something was off. They were about to get married, so why was Suzuki Ken suddenly not home?

Moreover, judging from some of Leilia's subtle reactions, she was actually not that happy.

Jiuzhi Che interjected, "So, Leilia, where's your husband?"

Leilia's lips twitched. "He couldn't get leave, I'm sorry..."

"Lelia, open the door!"

A sudden, loud knocking came from the door, startling Lelia. "It's Ken. He's forgotten his keys again."

He then got up to open the door.

Ken Suzuki walked in with a gloomy face, but his expression softened slightly when he saw a group of people in the living room.

"Lelia's friend, right?"

He nodded to everyone and then pulled Leilia into the kitchen.

To be honest, their conversation couldn't be kept secret from anyone present.

Jiuzhi Che glanced at Sadako, whose expression was somewhat complicated.

Because they were arguing in the kitchen.

Moreover, Sadako recognized the man; he was the same man who had performed divination at the crossroads the day before.

Ken Suzuki asked Lelia where a certain bank card was, but Lelia didn't want to give it to her, and the two got into a physical altercation.

Sadako couldn't help herself, "Lelia!"

The kitchen door opened, and Leilia hurried out, her hair a little messy and a handprint on her face.

Ken Suzuki glared at Lelia, then his gaze swept over Kyuuji and the others.

His heart skipped a beat.

I was in a hurry and didn't look closely, but now that I do, I realize that Leilia's friends are all very beautiful.

Especially the smaller one, with a beauty mark under her eye, that look of looking down on trash—yes, that's the vibe.

Kenji Suzuki's heart skipped a beat.

Leilia pushed Suzuki Ken out, "Don't you still have to go to the company? You should go now."

She slipped something to him, and Suzuki Ken's expression improved. He turned and left impatiently.

Jiu Zhiche was speechless. This was just like a TV drama, and the timing of their arrival was perfect, as they stumbled upon this conflict.

No, that's not right, it was luck that kicked in.

Sadako whispered, "Lelia, don't hide it from me anymore."

Leilia stared blankly, tears streaming down her face.

Black Sadako casually played with Kyuuji Tsutomu's fingers, while the little girl Tomie leaned on his shoulder, dozing off with her eyes half-closed.

Last night, little Tomie went out to steal food and didn't leave until this morning, so she must have been a bit sleep-deprived.

Jiuzhi Che listened to Leilia's story, after all, Sadako clearly wanted to help the other party.

Things went as he had predicted.

Ken Suzuki became addicted to pachinko, and after the Hellstar incident, he suddenly became immersed in this "play".

This may seem like a low-cost activity, but if you lose too much, it's easy to get carried away and keep buying steel balls to play.

Over time, Ken Suzuki spent most of his savings and wanted to ask his parents for some money, but they refused. They only agreed to give him a wedding fund after he got married.

Ken Suzuki was after the money, which is why he hastily urged Lelia to get married.

After hearing this, Sadako made a quick decision: "Lelia, this is a trap. Why don't you go to Cloudtree City and become my assistant? Sometimes when I'm negotiating scripts, I need your help with some things."

Jiuzhi Che didn't speak, probably because things weren't as simple as Zhenzi thought.

Leilia gave a bitter smile. "He loves me very much, but he's blinded to it right now. I can wait."
