After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his outfit, Bai Li walked out of the bathroom.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Toyokawa Shoko, who was still chatting with Qingmei, turned her head.
The door was pushed open, bringing out a wisp of mist, and a handsome young man came towards him. His raven-black hair still had a faint trace of moisture, which fluttered up as he walked, revealing his cool and handsome eyebrows and eyes, which were like fresh snow on a spring mountain.
——It’s like a nobleman walking out of a Ukiyo-e.
Secretary Xiaoxiang blinked, his eyes a little absent-minded.
It was the first time she had seen a president like him. Stones piled up like jade, pines lined up like emerald green. Even his chestnut pupils seemed to reflect the ripples of a white egret's wings sweeping across a March stream.
In a nutshell:
Good feeling!
In comparison, Wakaba Mutsu, who had taken a bath with his brother, was undoubtedly calmer.
In human terms, her threshold has been raised.
Just like it is difficult for a captain who has experienced the influence of the twelve magic weapons to have the desire to take off for the fresh and pure love novels, the Mutou people are no exception.
Her brother in a bathrobe no longer made her shy.
Unless... take off your armor! Take off your armor! Take off your armor again!
"What are you staring at me for?"
Noticing the silly look in his secretary Xiaoxiang's eyes, Baili raised an eyebrow, "I just took a bath, there shouldn't be anything strange on me, right?"
"Just...remembered something important."
Toyokawa Shoko smoothed her long blue hair by her ear, feeling ashamed of her earlier gaffe, but her expression quickly calmed down and she naturally changed the subject. "Regarding the previous commission, the client recently sent another message, agreeing to meet at 9:00 AM on Sunday and deciding to add an additional 20 million yen to the reward. It seems the situation has become more serious."
"It's said that many priests, shrine maidens, and onmyoji were defeated one after another and fled in panic. One unlucky priest was even frightened to the point of insanity and is still recuperating in the hospital..."
At the end, Xiangzi's tone was a little worried, "President, do you really not need to give up this commission?"
Although the additional 20 million yen in compensation is very tempting, every penny of money also represents a penny of risk. Even though Secretary Xiaoxiang is very confident in the ability of his president, he still can't help but worry that he will have an accident because of this.
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand risk, Shoko Toyokawa didn't want him to face it.
She couldn't even imagine the possibility of losing her position as president.
"That's not necessary."
Bai Li stretched lazily. Seeing that the secretary was still looking worried, he smiled easily, "You've been comfortable for so long. It's time to stretch your legs. Otherwise, we won't even be able to pay your salary."
This was meant to be a joke to lighten the atmosphere, but Xiaoxiang didn't smile at all. Instead, he bit his lip and just looked into his eyes without saying a word.
"...Okay, okay, as a secretary, I should trust your president more."
Bai Li was defeated by the girl's stubborn gaze. He reached out and ruffled her long blue hair helplessly. "Look, Xiao Mu is very good at this. She never worries unnecessarily."
"actually……"
The girl with light green hair was silent for a moment before she said, "If you're short of money, I have some pocket money I've saved since I was a child, about 12 million. If that's not enough..."
She paused, and like a samurai ready to die for his lord, she said, "I can borrow some money from Minami, so—Brother, can you please not take the risk?"
Bai Li was really at a loss for words now. What the hell was going on with Xiao Mu acting like he wanted to support him?
Although as the daughter of Japan's national actress Minami Mori, and her father Takafumi Wakaba is also a well-known comedian, the second-generation superstar Wakaba Mutsu does have the financial resources to keep a beautiful woman in a golden house -
However, Bai Li had no interest in living off the little girl, at least not now.
"Okay, it'll be okay."
He didn't want to dwell on this topic any further, so he bent his index finger slightly and flicked the green-haired girl's smooth forehead, without applying any force, of course. "Children, you should smile more and stop worrying about this and that all the time."
Wakaba Mutsu puffed up his cheeks slightly, showing a rare hint of "dissatisfaction".
“…Not a child.”
The graceful girl stood with her eyelashes drooping. Her once immature figure now has exquisite curves, like a beautiful yellow rose in full bloom, but so gentle that even the thorns are reluctant to grow.
She raised her head, looked at her brother seriously, and said:
"I'm eighteen."
At the age of eighteen, in any country in the world, one has already stepped half a foot into the world of "adults". One does not have to worry about someone checking ID cards when going to an Internet cafe. One can sit in front of the camera as calmly as a rock, watching a group of kids being chased away by their parents for sneaking out to play games, and even clapping and cheering.
But Bai Li looked at the girl's still childish face and her petite figure that seemed to be able to be lifted with one hand...
He was silent for a moment, but still did not refute, "You are right."
Wakaba Mu's cheeks became even rounder.
Although her brother seemed to agree with her, he always felt that he was being treated perfunctorily.
Obviously, what she wanted to express was very simple, that her body was mature enough to bear a baby...
Forget it, the days are long.
One day, she would use her own experience to let her brother understand that she was no longer the child in his mind.
"It's already late, Xiaoxiang, if you don't mind, you can stay here for one night."
Bai Li had no idea that his sister had already made a bold ambition to achieve the rare achievement of "The Sky of Fate" in one fell swoop.
He just looked at the blue-haired girl beside him and said this to keep him.
"Then... excuse me for disturbing you."
Shoko Toyokawa hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't bear to refuse.
"There is a spare guest room at home. Of course, you can also choose to sleep in Xiaomu's room."
Seeing that she agreed, Bai Li didn't think too much about it and said casually, "Xiao Mu has been sleeping in my room recently. The bedroom has been empty for a long time, but the bedding and sheets inside are cleaned regularly by me, so you don't have to worry about hygiene issues."
"Ok."
Secretary Xiaoxiang nodded, then suddenly froze.
"President, you just said... Xiao Mu has been sleeping in your room these days?"
Wakaba Mutsu; “…”
Meeting Qingmei's gradually changing gaze, the girl with long light green hair didn't even blink, but her heart suddenly sank.
Chapter 186 If she dares to attack, she will be defeated!
Chapter 186 If she dares to attack, she will be defeated!
"What does sleeping together... mean?"
As if trying to confirm something, the blue-haired girl named "Toyokawa Shoko" repeated this question again, with an imperceptible tremor at the end of her voice.
"Actually... you know the reason."
Bai Li then realized that his words might be a bit ambiguous. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Xiao Mu's psychological trauma from before hasn't healed yet. He only feels safe around me. There have been a few rainstorms and loud thunder on previous nights, so... don't worry, my bed is quite big, enough for two people to rest."
Is this a question of whether the bed is big or not?!
Shoko Toyokawa's head was buzzing.
Guard against day and night, it is difficult to guard against house thieves.
The worst possible outcome had finally happened! Her childhood sweetheart, her closest friend, her destined partner, who she had always trusted so deeply, was now sleeping with her man every night, out of her sight!
"Mu."
Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath and looked at the silent green-haired girl beside her. Her amber eyes showed no emotion. "President, is that true?"
Ruoye Mu: "..."
After hesitating for a while, she nodded gently, "Yeah."
It happened suddenly.
If Ye Mu was not prepared to confront Xiao Xiang, even if she had tried hard to think, she would not have had time to come up with a perfect excuse in such a hurry.
【What are you afraid of! 】
Metis in the consciousness space, however, looked nonchalant, patting her chest confidently. "I'm on your side, Xiaomu... If a mere Xiangzi dares to attack, she'll be crushed!"
Ruoye Mu lowered his eyes, not wanting to bother with this idiot.
She really likes her brother so much that she wants to marry him.
But she also cherishes her friendship with Xiaoxiang and doesn't want to lose it.
At this point, the possibility of getting away with it is slim.
Xiangzi has become wary of her again and will no longer easily believe her words.
but……
Ruo Yemu's brain was working rapidly, and he suddenly thought of a solution.
A philosopher once said that the best way to unite two warring parties is to introduce a common external enemy.
The girl with light green hair raised her head, looked directly into Qingmei's golden eyes that seemed to be a mixture of wind, frost and sword, and said softly:
"Xiaoxiang, I have something...I want to tell you."
……
This is an extremely simple bedroom with a minimalist style as the main tone.
The porcelain-white marble floor was as smooth as a mirror, and a gap was opened in the sky-blue gauze curtain by the night wind. Moonlight flowed over the velvet bed like poured milk, on which lay a few adorable plush dolls, and the silver light rolled down the curly fur into beads.
There was only a small lamp on in the room. The goose-yellow halo was not very bright, but it was enough to illuminate the faces of the girls sitting opposite. The light spots cast a faint shadow under their fine and long eyelashes, which made people think of an ancient poem for no reason - hazily see, a line of ghost lights, revealing a peach blossom face.
"The president is still in the living room. If you have anything to say...Xiao Mu, you can start now."
After a long silence, Toyokawa Shoko said lightly.
She rarely shows such a cold or even indifferent attitude towards her childhood sweetheart, but it is really difficult for Xiangzi to show a gentle smile to that familiar face at this moment. How many people can remain calm and indifferent after knowing that the boy they like is being stolen away by their best friend?
It is normal for people to be angry, and it is not surprising that they break off all ties and never have any contact with each other again.
Except for those with special fetishes.
Obviously, Toyokawa Shoko does not have this special fetish. After shedding the halo of a young lady, she is just an ordinary girl with a bad temper and possessiveness towards the boys she likes.
Wakaba Mu knew Qingmei's character very well, so she didn't give Xiangzi a chance to vent his emotions and went straight to the point.
