"Oh..." Mei Gong Xia Fei finally understood the boy's intention, so she frowned slightly, "You guy, have you offended some troublesome person again? It seems that he is not a small person."

"He is indeed a big shot." Mogami Jun sighed with a wry smile, "Have you heard of this name, Kurosaki Yoshihiro?"

Meigong Xia Fei frowned even more tightly.

"Of course I've heard the name. What's the matter?"

"Then please listen to my detailed account--" Mogami Jun began to trace back from the beginning, starting from the game that Hyoudou Takako played in his school, to the current situation, and told it all to Umemiya Natsuki in one breath.

Meigong Xia Fei was tense at first, but soon her brows relaxed and her mood became better and better.

"In other words, Kurosaki Yoshihiro betrayed Hyoudou Takako and secretly collected evidence of her crimes, which was then destroyed by you due to some misunderstandings. Now you want to return the medicine to him?"

"Senior, your summary is very strong, and you can make it clear in one sentence." Mogami Jun complimented. "In short, I am now in a dilemma - on the one hand, I don't want to be an enemy of Kurosaki Yoshihiro for Hyoudou Takako, on the contrary, I am very happy to see him deal with Hyoudou Takako; but on the other hand, I don't trust Kurosaki Yoshihiro very much, I am afraid that he will break the contract after getting the transaction items, and vent his anger on me and Senior Sagihara, so after thinking carefully, I need a strong enough guarantor, and finally I thought of Senior Umemiya."

"You are so bold to think like that." Mei Gong Xia Fei didn't know whether it was praise or sarcasm.

Then she fell silent, as if she was considering the pros and cons.

"Senior, you also hate Hyoudou Takako, right?" Mogami Jun asked carefully, "This should be in line with your wishes, right? In essence, you don't need to do much, just use your family's reputation."

"You are right. I am very happy to see the situation develop in this way." Meigong Xia Fei finally spoke, "But you forgot that I am not the one who speaks for the Meigong family. I cannot easily use the name of the Meigong family to endorse you, so - I need to ask my sister for permission. If she agrees, I will take you there."

"Isn't this... not good?" Mogami Jun was immediately shocked, "Your sister seems to have... some subtle relationship with Hyoudou Takako..."

"Don't worry about that." Umemiya Xia Fei suddenly sneered, "Although they have slept together, my sister is very happy to see Hyodo Takako get into trouble, the worse the better. They are both perverts, and perverts cannot be judged by common sense, so she will definitely agree to my proposal--"

"That's great!" Although it seemed a bit rude to criticize others behind their backs, Mogami Jun unexpectedly felt that what Umemiya Natsuki said made sense.

There is no need to mention Hyoudou Takako. Although he has only met Umemiya Haruhime once, he can obviously see that something is not normal. Since Umemiya Natsuki has guaranteed it herself, he has nothing to worry about.

"Senior Umemiya, if that's the case, then please ask for instructions for me as soon as possible. Kurosaki Yoshihiro is in a tight time frame right now, and we must reply to him as soon as possible," Mogami Jun urged, "If you have any news, please notify me directly."

"Wait a minute--" Umemiya Natsuki suddenly interrupted him, "Mogami Jun, you seem to have forgotten something. It's very important."

"What important thing?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised.

"You seem to have forgotten why I brought you to our house in the first place." Mei Gong Xia Fei replied coldly, "Now you want to borrow my house to help another girl be a hero. Don't you think it's too much?"

Mogami Jun was speechless for a moment.

It doesn't sound quite right...

"Senior--"

"Forget it. The situation has come to this point now. There is nothing to worry about. I will ask for your advice." Just as he was about to explain, Mei Gong Xia Fei suddenly interrupted him, "But - you also have to promise me that from now on, you will take care of Asana wholeheartedly and not have anything to do with other people, okay?"

"But - you have to promise me that from now on, you will take care of Asana wholeheartedly and not have anything to do with other people, okay?"

Umemiya Natsuki's question caught Mogami Jun off guard.

"That's two different things, isn't it?" he asked uneasily.

"It's the same thing for me." Umemiya Natsuki disagreed, "Why would I help you? Do you really think you are so charming? I only help you because Asana likes you. If you don't want to be with Asana, then what reason do I have to continue to favor you? Don't think you can get benefits without making any contribution. There is no such thing in the world."

"What's the meaning of such a promise? Even if I say a hundred words on the phone and make various assurances, what will it mean?" Mogami Jun asked back.

"It is true that promises are meaningless to many people. They will swear casually when asked to do so, and then forget about it afterwards. But it is different for you. Although you are arrogant, you have always been trustworthy, so I think highly of you for this." Meigong Xia Fei answered slowly, "Besides, if you break your promise, it would be just like admitting in front of me that you are just a guy with nothing but a show. You are so arrogant, you won't do that..."

Mogami Jun was silent.

"Can I understand this as a threat?" he asked coldly after a moment.

"This is not a threat, it's just a condition of exchange. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. If you want to use my reputation and my family's reputation, you must pay the corresponding price." Mei Gong Xia Fei said as she walked back to the table and sat down again. "You have to admit that my family's reputation is very valuable. Many large companies want to spend hundreds of millions to buy our family's help. It all depends on whether there is an opportunity. I opened the door to our family for you and only put forward this condition. Don't you think it's too much?"

After saying this, Umemiya Xia Fei picked up the teacup and took a sip of the slightly cooled black tea.

Umemiya Natsuki's questioning left Mogami Jun speechless.

Indeed, everything she said made sense.

From her point of view, there is indeed no obligation to help her unconditionally.

However, he was very unhappy. He didn't like others forcing him with this attitude.

Even when his parents did this, he resisted from the bottom of his heart, let alone other people?

He tried to suppress his anger and took a moment to formulate his response.

"Senior, I have to say that our negotiation has failed. I'm sorry to disturb your good mood this morning. I'll handle the next thing myself. I just ask you to keep it a secret and not tell anyone - I believe you will do this."

"Hey? What do you mean? Have I treated you unfairly?" Meigong Xia Fei was immediately furious.

In a rage, she slammed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table. With a loud bang, a lot of tea in the cup splashed out, staining a large area of ​​the table red.

"If it were anyone else, it would be fine. But what do you have against Asana? Is Asana's character and talent inferior to others? Moreover, she is so sincere to you that even I am quite moved by it, but you are indifferent... What qualifications do you have to look down on her? It is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime luck for you to be favored by her, but you want to be a fool?!"

"Of course I'm touched. I'm not really blind." Mogami Jun sighed, "Senior, I admit to you that I really like Asana. Like you, I hope that she can have an extremely bright future because she deserves it."

"Then why did you refuse my request?" Meigong Xia Fei asked angrily.

"I value my own promises, so it's too difficult for me to make this promise now... I can't entrust my life and Asana's life to a joke. Neither of us can afford the price." Mogami Jun replied calmly, "I like her, and I don't rule out the possibility that she and I will have some future. Maybe I will really do what you say in the future, but it will never be because of your threats, but my own choice. And now, I can't make this choice. I have to wait until I have enough courage to confirm what my life should be like before I can make a decision."

At this point, Mogami Jun sighed again, "You said that I looked down on Asana, but on the contrary, I cherish her too much, so I dare not lightly tell you that I agree. Umemiya-senpai, I don't expect you to understand and agree with my thoughts. Anyway, it's enough for us to talk about this. No matter what, I thank you."

Meigong Xia Fei just felt a little blocked in her heart. She wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't say it.

"What are you going to do?"

"There will always be some way out. This is not a desperate situation." Mogami Jun answered in a relaxed tone. "To be honest with you, I have also considered the possibility of failure in negotiations with you, and I have made a plan in advance, so you don't have to feel guilty. If you don't want to cooperate, then don't cooperate. It's okay. I still respect you."

"I don't feel guilty at all. You are indeed a sweet-talker." Mei Gong Xia Fei still looked angry. "Well, if you don't want to, then don't. I have nothing to say."

"Well, senior...goodbye." Jun Mogami said goodbye.

"Wait a minute..." Umemiya Natsuki stopped Mogami Jun again, and then asked, "Who is that Sagihara Shion? Why would you do this for her?"

Mogami Jun smiled slightly and answered.

"In my heart, she is a very lovely, very reliable, and very valuable person. Moreover, at this point, this is no longer just her problem, but a situation that both of us need to face together. It is too late for me to withdraw from it. We can only overcome the difficulties together. Of course, I have no doubt that we can do it. That's it. Goodbye, senior sister."

This time, without waiting for Umemiya Natsuki to say anything, Mogami Jun hung up the phone.

Meigong Xia Fei put down her phone, then lowered her head and stared at the teacup in a daze.

Because the tea had just spilled, the originally translucent pattern was stained with a lot of scarlet blood, making it look messy.

It was indeed not pleasant to be rejected in person, but strangely, she was not angry, she just felt a little upset.

After a moment, she picked up the teacup fiercely and took a big sip.

The cold tea is indeed a bit bitter.

================================================

With the ringing of the bell for the last class, the class time at Ogiyuan Girls' School also ended. Girls in school uniforms walked out of the classroom in twos and threes, welcoming their after-school life.

For these girls, it was another elegant, leisurely and ordinary afternoon.

Because this is a full boarding school, they don't have to go home, so they have plenty of time to kill.

Therefore, most girls will join different clubs according to their interests to pass the time.

The calligraphy club is one of them. Today, as usual, a group of girls gathered together, chatting and painting, and they were having a great time.

However, the topics in the department have been a little strange recently, always going in a strange direction...

At this time, Izumo Asana was holding a brush, frowning as she stared at the blank rice paper in front of her. The brush in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and she couldn't move it on the paper at all.

"Asana, you seem absent-minded lately." A girl suddenly said to Izumo Asana.

"No way." Asana, who was in a trance, finally responded, "I was just thinking about what to write next--"

"I think you're missing someone..." another girl said with a smile, "Well, I understand. If you have someone in your heart, who would have the mood to write..."

Her words caused laughter in the room, and everyone stopped writing and looked at Asana.

“Don’t joke like that!” Asana blushed and glared at the girl next to her, “I didn’t… I was just thinking about writing!”

"Not today, but never before? You were always thinking about writing and never thought about others at all?" The other party didn't seem to believe it at all.

"Occasionally... I still miss you sometimes... but it's not to the point where I miss you all the time, right? At our age, we should naturally focus on our studies and art." Asana lowered her head in embarrassment.

What’s interesting is that everyone present knew who that “person they missed” was, without having to point it out.

"Have you guys talked on the phone recently? How long did you talk?" another girl asked.

"It's just...it's just occasionally..." Asana answered in a low voice, with a hint of regret in her shyness.

"That won't do!" The girl shook her head, "Asana, don't you think it's dangerous?"

"Dangerous?" Asana was puzzled.

"You two are so far apart. If you don't keep in touch from time to time, you never know if some evildoer will take advantage of you!" The girl looked at Asana with disappointment. "Think about it. That guy is handsome and has a charming personality. I heard that his academic performance is also very good. It's too easy for him to be targeted by some vixen. Although you are engaged, if you don't keep a close eye on him, you will regret it when something unexpected happens..."

"That's right..." The girls all nodded in agreement.

As they chatted, the girls' gossiping spirits were completely aroused, so they began to chatter freely.

"Don't be so arrogant. Sometimes you just have to be more proactive. It's not popular to be so upright and reserved all the time, talking about being a noble family..."

"Those teachers are so old-fashioned. They're just trying to turn us into nuns. It's so annoying. People out there don't buy into that anymore!"

"Next time you meet, dress up like I told you last time. If it really...really...comes to that, he won't be embarrassed to deny it, right? Isn't that safe?"

As the girls' increasingly inappropriate words were heard, Asana became more and more embarrassed. Her face turned red and she couldn't say a word.

"Hey, are you here to write or to get married? You are getting more and more unreasonable. Are you trying to bully Asana?!" Minister Omi couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the girls, "If you want to write, write well. If you don't want to write, go back!"

After the minister spoke, everyone fell silent. Asana looked at the minister with gratitude as if she had finally been pardoned.

“Asana, don’t take it to heart. People tease you because they want to have some fun and kill time, and they are also a little envious of you. After all, no one knows who their future husband will be. You might be arranged to marry someone you hate by your family. In comparison, he is a very good choice, and no one wants you to miss him.” Minister Omi walked to Asana and whispered in her ear, comforting her, “After all, I have also seen that boy, and he is indeed very handsome. If you like him, you should try harder and don’t miss him…”

Asana lowered her head again and could only nod slightly to indicate that she heard it.

"Okay, write seriously. After all, we are a calligraphy club here. How can we talk about this kind of thing without writing?" Minister Omi waved his hand again, signaling everyone to turn their attention back to calligraphy.

Just at this moment, there were sudden continuous knocks on the door.

The girl closest to the door quickly walked over and opened it, then looked at the visitor in surprise.

"Umemiya-senpai?"

After she exclaimed, everyone's attention was focused on her.

"Senior Umemiya! Good afternoon!" The girls greeted and saluted.

The reason why they respected Umemiya Xia Fei so much was not just because she was their senior, but because they were convinced by her calligraphy skills.

If Umemiya Natsuhime had not been more fond of acting and therefore became the director of the drama club, everyone would have recognized that she would have been the director of the calligraphy club, even Director Omi himself thought so.

"Senior Umemiya, you finally have time to come and guide us..." Minister Omi came over and bowed to her respectfully.

"With you here, what else do I need guidance from?" Umemiya Xia Fei walked into the room with light steps, and then looked at Asana, "I came here to talk to Asana about something... Is it convenient now?"

"As long as it's convenient for Asana, we certainly have no objection." Minister Omi replied quickly.

Umemiya Natsuki looked at Asana.

"Of course I'm free, just tell me what to do!" Although she was confused, Asana quickly agreed.

"Very good, thank you." Mei Gong Xia Fei nodded, then turned and walked out again, "Come with me."

Asana followed him out obediently, and the remaining girls looked at each other.

Logically speaking, what Umemiya-senpai did was a bit arrogant, but everyone was already used to Umemiya-senpai's way of doing things, so they could only smile bitterly.

Umemiya Natsuki took Asana out of the teaching building, and then the two of them came to the flower garden path together.

After making sure that there was no one around, Umemiya Natsuhi turned around and looked at Asana.

"Asana, I've got a... well, a slightly difficult problem, and I'd like to ask for your advice."

315, whatever you ask for, you will get it

"Asana, I've got a... well, a slightly difficult problem, and I'd like to ask for your advice."

After hearing what Umemiya Natsuki said, Izumo Asana was obviously confused for a moment.

No matter from which standard, Asana thinks that Umemiya-senpai is better than herself, and her family background is more outstanding than hers. If she finds everything "difficult", then she should be unable to help.
