Zongman: Starting as a Prop Master

The two looked at each other in disbelief, and then looked at Mao Lilan who was still thinking hard.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to praise Mao Lilan for her simplicity or for her intelligence.

The fact that she was not fooled and understood what Ichinosuke said showed that she was quite smart.

Now that the truth has been exposed, you are telling it out loud. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?

Didn’t you see that Ichinosuke staggered because of what you said?

…………

After a long time, it was finally Haibara Ai who broke the silence.

"Forget it, let's follow and see."

As she spoke, her petite figure took the lead and moved in the direction Ichinosuke left.

Behind him, followed Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki.

Ignoring her height, she has the aura of a mistress.

Chapter 242: Xiaolan is targeted

Chess room,

Except for Suzuki Ayako, the other four were sitting around a mahjong table and playing with tofu.

There were mahjong tiles scattered on the table, and it seemed that several people had played a few rounds.

Seeing Ichinosuke, Haibara Ai and the other three, Suzuki Ayako greeted them with a warm smile.

"Xiaolan, Yuanzi, I prepared black tea and chiffon cake, you can try them."

After greeting her sister and the gross profit margin, Suzuki Ayako looked at Ichinosuke and Huihara Ai and asked:

"Xiaoyi, Xiaoai, do you want juice or drinks?"

Suzuki Ayako naturally knows the tastes and preferences of her younger sister and best friend Xiaolan.

I didn't know much about Ichinosuke and Haibara Ai when I first met them, so naturally I couldn't prepare in advance.

Looking up at the enthusiastic Suzuki Ayako, Huihara Ai said politely:

"For me, please just give me a cup of coffee."

Hearing this, Ota Masaru and the other three, who had been paying attention to them since the four of them came in, were suddenly stunned, and Kadoya Hiroki even forgot to play the cards in his hand.

Looking at Haibara Ai's height of just over one meter, it was difficult for them to associate a kindergarten kid with an adult drink like coffee.

"A child this young drinks coffee?"

Several people were surprised, but Suzuki Ayako, who knew something about Haibara Ai's identity, did not find it strange.

This is a person who looks like a child on the outside, but is actually a cool and arrogant lady on the inside.

Yes, several members of the Suzuki family know the identity of Haibara Ai and Miyano Shiho.

The Nohara family and Ichinosuke did not hide anything at all. At the beginning, they were at Izu Beach, and later on, they were in the shrinking city. Not to mention that Miyano Shiho went shopping with Nohara Misae directly and carefreely.

With a little investigation, you can find out the true identity of Haibara Ai.

In other words, they didn't want Ichinosuke and Haibara Ai to have any grudges in their hearts, otherwise even Shirley's identity would probably be discovered.

The energy that a wealthy tycoon can mobilize is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Before they could come back to their senses, Huiyuan Ai continued to add:

"Black coffee is fine."

At this moment, the people in the film club were even more speechless, and the looks they gave Haibara Ai became increasingly strange, as if they were looking at a Martian.

The so-called black coffee refers to the original flavor of coffee without creamer or milk and without any modification.

It combines the five flavors of coffee: sweet, mellow, sour, and bitter.

Not to mention children, even adults can't stand the smell.

Her unique temperament, coupled with Haibara Ai's cool appearance, made them feel that they were not facing a child, but a cold and awe-inspiring president.

Ignoring the gazes of outsiders, after thanking Suzuki Ayako, Haibara Ai walked naturally to the sofa next to her and sat down, picked up the magazine next to her, opened it and started reading.

As for outsiders, Haibara Ai has always kept them away, and she doesn't easily contact people she is not familiar with.

Although Ichinosuke is not as socially skilled as Shin-chan, he is not as slightly socially skilled as Ai.

However, the otaku life in his previous life and this life made him unwilling to pay attention to strangers he didn't want to talk to.

Ignoring the circle of strangers, Ichinosuke looked up at Suzuki Sonoko and showed her some white teeth.

"Sister Ayako, please give me a cup of hot milk~"

As for Ichinosuke, the effect is completely opposite.

Ota Katsu and his friends were originally wondering whether Ichinosuke would be as eccentric as Haibara Ai, but the result was just ordinary. Although they all thought this was normal, the huge contrast still made them feel weird.

Some people thought it was normal, but Suzuki Ayako was extremely surprised.

She didn't expect that Ichinosuke, who was almost omnipotent in the eyes of her mother and sister, not only looked like a child, but also had habits like an ordinary child.

Although she had many complaints in her heart, Suzuki Ayako did not show them and still had the smiling, gentle and graceful appearance of a lady from a noble family.

"OK, just a second."

Having said that, she went back to the kitchen to prepare.

During the card game, the four of them quickly shifted their attention away from Ichinosuke and Haibara Ai.

No matter how unique Ichinosuke and Haibara Ai are, their age and status are too different from theirs.

There may only be one chance for us to meet each other in our lifetime.

On the contrary, Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran are not much older than them, so they have more opportunities to interact with each other.

"Xiaolan, Yuanzi, do you want to play a few rounds?"

After waving the thirty thousand in his hand towards Mao Li Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, Ota Katsu had other intentions and made an invitation.

"Forget it. I don't know how to play mahjong."

Faced with the invitation, Suzuki Sonoko politely shook her head and directly refused.

With the handsome guy Kazunosuke, she no longer has the good impression of Ota Masaru as in the original book, and she will not be so shameless as to get close to him.

What's more, she knew exactly what the other party was planning, so she was even more unwilling to get involved.

Ota Masaru didn't care about being rejected by Suzuki Sonoko, and was even a little happy.

Suzuki Sonoko has a unique identity, he dare not think about her, nor dare to touch her, but when facing Mouri Ran, a high school student who looks pure, cute and easy to deal with, he has evil thoughts in his heart.

"Xiao Lan, do you want to play a few rounds?"

Facing Ota Masaru's seemingly enthusiastic invitation, which actually made her feel a little inappropriate, Mao Lilan did not refuse directly like Suzuki Sonoko did, but declined politely with a little embarrassment:

"Well, I'm not very good at playing, and there are just enough of you."

Mao Li Ran declined politely. Before Ota Masaru could say anything, Kadoya Hiroki first looked at Ikeda Chikako, then looked at Ota Masaru, who was taller and more handsome than him. After rolling his eyes, he had an idea in his mind.

So he stood up from his seat and said to Mao Lilan:

"Miss Xiaolan, why don't you come and play a few rounds? I'm craving for a cigarette and want to go out for a smoke."

"This……"

Now, Mao Lilan didn't know how to refuse.

"Xiao Lan, come and play a few rounds. If you don't know how, we can teach you."

First, he looked at Hiroki Kadotani with admiration, and then Masaru Ota pursued and invited Ran Mori.

Faced with the actions of the two, Chikako Ikeda frowned, then seemed to think of something and suppressed her brows.

Takahashi Ryoichi, who looked like a 200-pound fat boy, was smiling the whole time and seemed very open-minded, but Ichinosuke still noticed the hatred and murderous intent flashing in his eyes when he looked at Ikeda Chikako.

"cut!"

After looking at the pretentious Ota Katsu with disdain, Suzuki Sonoko sat down next to Ichinosuke and started eating the cake in big mouthfuls.

Although she had no feelings for Ota Masaru, she was still upset about being ignored again and even being treated as a wingman.

Glancing at the people at the mahjong table with different thoughts in their minds, Ichinosuke picked up the chiffon cake thoughtfully and ate it silently like Sonoko.

After a while, a cup of steaming hot coffee with a bitter aroma was brought to Haibara Ai by Suzuki Ayako.

He picked up the coffee and took a small sip.

Feeling the sour and bitter taste bursting in her mouth, Haibara Ai raised her eyebrows and squinted her eyes to enjoy this unique taste.

The sour color and strong bitterness of the coffee are very similar to her previous life. Caffeine can make her energetic and work all night. This is why she likes black coffee.

Putting down the coffee cup, Huiyuan Ai looked at the chess and card table and said meaningfully:

"If you don't refuse, she will be kidnapped."

Mao Lilan is a kind-hearted person who doesn't easily reject others.

Invited by Ota Masaru, Kakutani Hiroki took the initiative to give up his seat.

Now, she was almost half invited, half forced to sit in the empty seat.

Looking at the smug smile on Ota Masaru's face, he looked at Mouri Ran with a playful gaze like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit.

Ichinosuke looked at the cash on their table, then calmly picked up his elementary school drink, tasting it while watching Mouri Ran being forced to sit at the gambling table in a daze.

Taking a sip of milk, Ichinosuke looked at the card table with a playful look, as if he was pitying her, or as if he was adding insult to injury, and shook his head and sighed:

"It's so pitiful. I don't know who gave them the courage to play Mahjong with Xiaolan. Tsk tsk."

Ichinosuke's indifference instantly aroused Haibara Ai's interest.

After taking a sip of hot coffee, he asked with interest:

"What do you mean, is Maori a master of gambling?"

Ichinosuke did not choose to answer, but smiled mysteriously:

"The answer to this question will come naturally as you read on."
