I endured the humiliation when I was besieged by the ghost story big sister

Before she could repeat her question, she was interrupted by Nishiyama Kyoko. If she had continued, the topic might have gone off on a highway and gotten out of control.

I saw Xishan's eyes staring straight into the distance. Ximiao, who was talking and laughing with others and seemed to be being teased, had no idea what she was thinking.

a long time.

The fat lady on the stage finally finished her boring speech, although she tried very hard not to make this social gathering as boring as it looked.

But because they couldn't get drunk at noon, everyone present was still a little restrained.

As for Xi Mio, she had also finished ordering her food and was playing cards or gossiping out of boredom, as if nothing had happened just now.

"By the way, Auntie Asi, do you have any good suggestions about our store?"

Suddenly remembering that Aunt Asi was more knowledgeable in these aspects, Xi Mio asked the beautiful woman with some anticipation.

"Suggestions? Yes, I do. But you have to know that I'm not the kind of person who likes to help others. At least I have to get some benefits."

She blinked and motioned Xi Mio to express her opinion. The meaning was self-evident.

Author's Note: I'm a bit stuck...

Chapter 27

"So, what benefit do you want, Auntie Asami?"

Xi Mio asked naively, thinking that Aunt Asi would definitely not make any excessive demands in front of so many people.

But unexpectedly, she didn't play by the rules and spoke directly.

"It depends on how much help you need from me, Xi Mio. The two are directly proportional. I'm sure you understand that, Xi Mio."

"..."

Seeing that Xi Mio didn't continue speaking, Ami just chuckled and then turned her attention to the dessert in front of her.

As a professional devil, Asi knows that one cannot rush into such things... It's like an investment, one only needs to wait patiently to get unexpected returns.

But the rest of the people were a little confused about the conversation between Ami and Xi Mio, and they didn't understand why Xi Mio didn't continue talking.

Fortunately, the fat lady who had just appeared came onto the stage again and started playing the bingo game, which interrupted everyone's thoughts.

a long time.

After eating and drinking their fill, the few people said goodbye to the organizer of the social, the secretive fat aunt, and walked out of the cafe.

I saw Sister Bachu smacking her lips and muttering softly.

"I didn't expect the food in this cafe is so delicious. If I had known, I would have gotten up earlier and come here for breakfast."

"Hmm? Sister Bachu, have you never been to the coffee shop here?"

Xi Mio seemed to have discovered something special and turned her head to look at the unusually tall woman next to her and asked.

"After all, I was very busy before. I didn't have time to wander around, so this is really my first time to eat in a cafe here."

Or rather, it was the first time she knew there was such a cafe in this small town, and she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Soon, she said goodbye to Xi Mio and her group and walked towards the store. After all, she still had work to do today. Although she could close the store temporarily, she couldn't do so forever.

then.

After saying goodbye to Sister Bachu, Xi Mio and the others came to the beach. Because they were not wearing swimsuits, they just walked along the beach, leaving a series of shallow shoe prints on the beach.

Not far away, tourists have arrived here one after another, some are resting under the parasols, some are playing in the water in the shallow sea.

The previously deserted beach has become unusually lively, and the appearance of Xi Mio and his group has also attracted the attention of tourists.

Especially his light golden hair, not to mention how dazzling and eye-catching it is under the sun.

"Ah~ It seems like you're quite popular here, Mio~"

Arisa, who also noticed the gazes of the tourists, couldn't help but tease.

"What? It's just because of my hair. If you don't like it, I can dye it black..."

Before Xi Mio could finish his words, he was stopped by Alisa and Fanxia.

"No!"×2

"Huh? Why?"

But unfortunately, neither of them had any intention of continuing to argue with Xi Mio on this issue.

It was not until they returned to Xi Mio's home and washed their sandy feet with a hose in the courtyard that they walked into the entrance hall, took off their shoes, and stepped on the wooden floor.

"Huh~ I finally got it done. I didn't expect that I would stay in that cafe for so long. I gave away all my money just for a free meal."

As soon as she entered the living room, Arisa sat on the cushion, then lay back, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

After hearing what Arisa said, Hiro, who was sitting next to her, said unhappily.

"Who told you to go with me? You even brought Sister Fanxia and Aunt Asami along..."

"Well~ Isn't it because I'm afraid that you, Xiao Mio, will be pestered endlessly by those ignorant little girls? Don't be ungrateful~ By the way, tell me, what benefits are you going to give my mother?"

Arisa changed the subject and brought up the topic that Nozomi and Aunt Asi had not been able to reach an agreement on just now.

Although she really wanted to help Xi Mio in this regard, Arisa herself knew nothing about running a store and only knew how to invest money.

After being asked this by Arisa, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Xi Mio's face, as if she had something to hide.

This also made Arisa, who saw this scene, even more curious about what benefits Xi Mio would give to her mother, but the boy did not choose to answer her question. Instead, he walked out of the living room and returned to his room.

Seeing this, Arisa did not pursue the question with Xi Mio. She lay on the tatami and sighed subconsciously.

After seeing Fanxia coming over from the kitchen with drinks, she probably wanted to seek help from a friend, so she asked Fanxia.

"Well, what benefits do you think Xiao Mio will give to my mother?"

"Huh? Why do you think I would know such a thing? Anyway, now that Xiao Mio has returned home, he no longer needs Sister Fanxia who provides him with food and shelter in Xijing..."

When she said this, even Fanxia herself did not notice the strong jealousy in her eyes, and her eyes were as resentful as they could be.

Arisa, who didn't expect Fanxia to say that, also noticed the seriousness of the matter. She suddenly sat up from the tatami, patted the seat next to the table, and motioned her to sit down.

"It seems that you also have some opinions about Xi Mio's strange behavior recently~"

"Ok?"

Fanxia opened the bottle cap of the drink, sat in her seat as Arisa instructed, and drank the juice in her hand as if she was drinking beer.

Then she said.

"What are you dissatisfied with? I know that Xi Liao spent several nights in your room."

"So you knew..."

Arisa immediately showed a slightly embarrassed look, she didn't expect that Fanxia would know about this.

"So, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

After saying that, Fanxia let out a long sigh and looked at Arisa, who was a little at a loss, as if questioning her purpose in talking to him.

But she waited for a long time and didn't hear Arisa continue speaking, so she simply turned her gaze to the TV beside her.

Xi Mio, who returned to her room, had no idea what the two people downstairs were plotting.

His mind was full of thoughts on how to deal with Aunt Asi. Since she was asking for a favor from him, it must be about what happened in the bathroom that day.

Well... although this is just his wishful thinking.

Thinking of this, Xi Mio sighed helplessly, just like Sister Fanxia who was in the living room just now, not knowing what to do.

God knows how long he lay on his soft bed. Just when he was about to fall asleep, as if at the exact time he wanted to rest, someone knocked on his bedroom door.

"Who?"

Even though he asked this, the person knocking on the door didn't seem to want to respond to his question.

Xi Mio had no choice but to open the door, so she stood up silently and walked towards the door.

As he opened the door, he saw the figure he least wanted to see.

"Hey~ Ximiao, after thinking about it for so long, have you figured out what benefits you want to give me, your aunt?"

"……without."

"Really? That's a shame. I thought I could take advantage of the fact that Arisa and Hoka were out shopping so they could come and get my benefits."

Asami looked at the young man in front of her with pity, as if everything she did was for her own good.

Looking at Aunt Asi's beautiful wine-red eyes, Xi Mio was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Just when he thought everything was fine and wanted to close the door, a jade hand suddenly blocked the crack of the door and stopped him.

"Aunt Asami?"

"Come to my room, I will teach you how to solve the current problem of your store."

"Huh? But..."

Without waiting for Xi Mio to finish his words, Ashi left without looking back, leaving the decision to Xi Mio.

Looking at the empty corridor, Xi Mio didn't know whether she should follow or not.

After a long silence behind the door, Xi Mio seemed to have all her strength drained away. She weakly let go of the doorknob and walked towards Aunt Asi's bedroom.

As he gently pushed open the door, Auntie Asi, who had been waiting for a long time, sat upright on the cushion on the floor, looking as if she was going to teach Xi Mio how to manage the store.

Xi Mio, who had never seen such a scene, couldn't help but swallow, walked forward tremblingly, and then asked.

"Don't you need to give Auntie Asashi a benefit?"

"What are you talking about? I was just joking with you, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously, Xiao Mio."

"That's it..."

Even though Aunt Asi said this, when looking into her eyes, Xi Mio always felt something was not right.

But unfortunately, he had no right to say anything, so he had to follow Aunt Yashi's example and sit upright on the cushion opposite her, waiting for her to tell him the answer.

And downstairs.

The duo did not go out to buy things as Yashi said. Although they were still staying in the living room, their attention was attracted by the little crocodile toy that Yashi got from somewhere.

"Really? You're so hesitant. Can you please just pick a tooth and press it down?"

Arisa looked at Fanxia in front of her with annoyance, who still didn't dare to take action, and urged her.

"Tsk! Stop arguing! This is about dinner money! How can a rich person like you make a choice so casually?"

Fanxia responded like this, wishing she could eat alive Arisa, who had already beaten her several times and earned an unknown amount of money.

"Tsk~ You're a lame person, but you blame others. How funny."

Chapter 28 I Can't Figure It Out

"Sister Fanxia...why do you look so haggard?"

I don’t know how long it took, but after finishing the private tutorial in Aunt Asi’s bedroom, I walked down the stairs.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Sister Fanxia, ​​lying weakly on the table. She looked like she was half dead.

This also made Xi Mio curious, so she walked over, pulled over a cushion, and sat down between Sister Fanxia and Alisa.

After hearing the question raised by Xi Mio, Fanxia also explained that she and Alisa had made a small gamble just now, and she put her half a month's royalties into it and gave it to Alisa.

"How many?"

"Half a month's manuscript fee..."

"Sister Fanxia... Although this money is yours, this is not how you should use it..."

Xi Mio said helplessly, and then looked to the side. At that moment, Arisa was still grinning evilly, and it looked like she had planned it all along.

Then, Xi Mio focused his attention on the small crocodile toy in the center of the table. It had its mouth open and was waiting for someone to press its teeth. It looked quite interesting.

"How about it? Xiao Mio, do you want to try it too~"

Seeing that he seemed very interested in the new toy, Arisa took the opportunity to suggest that Xi Mio try it as well.

"How do I do this..."
