"Miss … Miss Haiki-san?"
Sitting on a chair by the pond, Shinichi looked at her companion worriedly, unable to hide her uneasiness.
She didn't know what she said to her cousin, but she fell silent after returning.
She was expressionless.
But her eyes became a little scary.
No, it should be said that … it just made Shinichi feel scared. It wasn't fierce, nor was it gloomy. It was calm as usual, but different from before.
They became so far away, like the mirage and rainbow light floating on the horizon.
It made people feel that they couldn't touch it even if they spent their whole lives.
Huai Shi's thoughts were interrupted. He sighed and raised his phone: [Shinichi, do you want to join the competition?]
Zhen Xi stood rooted to the ground, stunned.
It was as if her lie had been exposed. She was at a loss and wanted to run away.
Being stared at by those eyes, the habitual smile on her face gradually disappeared. She lowered her head uneasily.
"… I haven't thought about it yet."
"I … I don't want to use Miss Haiki-san. I'm sorry, I wanted to say it earlier. But I can't think of anything to pay for it. I'm sorry … "
When he said this, his tone became hurried, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe him.
He looked at her and explained in a panic: "Only this, please believe me. I've never thought of using you, I, I …"
She couldn't finish her sentence.
She lowered her head.
Huai Shi shook his head and handed over his phone: [Have you considered hiring me?]
The girl was stunned.
Unbelievable.
She looked down at her phone, then looked up at him, then looked away in panic. The fingers behind her back were twisting uneasily.
"But I don't have money … No, of course I don't mean to ask Miss Haiki-san to do anything for free. I mean, can't I give you an IOU? No matter how much it costs, I'll pay you back in the future! "
Then, the courage and confidence she had just mustered was shattered in front of the new number on the phone.
[70 million USD]
Shinichi froze on the spot.
70 million? USD? So much … Even if it was 70 million USD, she didn't dare to dream of such a thing!
He worked in a convenience store and his hourly wage was 800 yuan. However, he only worked for four hours a day and four days a week. If he worked part-time at the ramen shop, he would earn 640 per hour for the night shift. However, the head chef was a good person and gave him an extra commission … If he were to live frugally every month, he would be able to save about 30,000 yen.
After graduating from university, he would look for a job. Then …
In an instant, countless numbers flashed through his mind. In the end, he came to a cruel conclusion.
As long as you don't eat, drink, or get sick, you'll be able to gather enough money in about six to seven hundred years!
In an instant, he felt the pressure of life. The Truth Hope was badly damaged and could not rise again.
Seeing that her performance had finally come to an end, Huai Shi shook his head and added.
[Someone has already paid for you.]
"Huh?" Zhen Xi was in disbelief.
[You don't have to ask about the specific process. Don't worry about it. I'll help you.]
Huai Shi didn't want to let her imagination run wild, so he quickly typed: [There may be no hope for the position of the head of the family, but I will help you solve the problem in your body.]
[However, there will be an extra charge of one million dollars.]
In order to prevent her from treating this as a spring outing, Huai Shi still had to give her a hard time. Otherwise, he felt that this girl would really become a salted fish at the speed of light and start to win without doing anything.
Showing a hint of murderous intent, Miss Huai Shi moved closer and raised her phone.
[If you don't pay, you know what the consequences will be, right?]
The dazed Zhen Xi stood rooted to the ground.
After a long time, she finally came to her senses. She was in disbelief and didn't know what had happened.
However, panic quickly emerged in her heart.
Subconsciously, she shrank back a little.
It was as if she wanted to hide herself.
"Miss Huai Shi … You know everything?"
[Everything is clear.]
Huai Shi sighed and looked at her exposed ankle under the hem of her bathrobe. There was a faint scar on it … It seemed that it had just healed and hadn't completely healed yet.
When he pulled Zhen Xi's hand and rolled up her sleeves, he saw layers of scars on it.
The damage to the body was a unique sign in the early stages of beast transformation.
Because of this overly sensitive resonance with the abyss, it led to the erosion of precipitation, and eventually, the fragile body couldn't bear the changes of the source substance.
Such a cracked scar formed between the skin and the muscle.
This was the earliest origin and source of the name "Stigmata."
This phenomenon had been appearing since the Middle Ages.
Due to the influence of the subconscious, the wound may also form inexplicable and meaningless text shapes, but this didn't change the fact that the wound was a wound.
At first, it was attributed to a revelation from God, and later, it was regarded as a symbol of a contract with the devil. It wasn't until modern medicine that it was collectively called Coagulation Syndrome.
This was the original sin that beastmen or hybrids were born with.
They were too far from heaven and too close to hell. They were destined to have no chance of miracles and could only embrace the end of disaster.
It was this innate pain that made many beastmen at the border full of hatred for the current state and the current Astronomy Association and constantly tried to resist.
The foundation of Green Sun existed on this soil.
For that group of people, waiting for the current state to show mercy was tantamount to waiting for death. It was better to join Green Sun for a way to live, even if it was a little easier before death. It was better than painfully lingering at death's door.
She inexplicably recalled the old scholar she saw in Jinling when she was kidnapped by the rumors. That pair of bestial vertical pupils full of hatred and anger …
This was the proof of their misfortune.
Huai Shi was silent for a long time before pulling down the sleeves of his bathrobe and letting go of her hand.
It was hard to imagine the scars under the bathrobe … … But it must have brought pain all the time, right?
He was curious from the bottom of his heart. How did this guy grow up so carefree? It really wasn't easy for him to be so careless even now.
Like a silly dog.
But even if he was a silly dog, he still had to keep moving forward, shamelessly struggling, shamelessly living, stubbornly holding on to luck and a glimmer of hope.
Just like how he used to be.
Huai Shi sighed, raised his hand, and pressed on her hair.
Zhen Xi looked up blankly, looked at the pair of eyes in front of her, and froze in place.
There was no sympathy or pity as she expected, nor was he shaken by the pain on her body. But that quiet gaze made her feel exceptionally at ease.
It was as if someone was by her side.
Someone would stand by her side and stare at her in a sorry state, without encouragement or pity, just waiting for her to continue moving forward.
Just looking at him like that, it was as if the loneliness was dispelled.
Like sunshine.
Just looking at those eyes, she felt that her efforts all this time were not in vain. No matter how ugly the struggle was, it would not be without results.
In the silence, Zhen Xi lowered her head, and could no longer hold back the tears of grievance.
She hugged her friend tightly, choked, and cried out loud.
Like a child who finally found her way home.
.
.
In the end, when she came back to her senses, tears and snot had already completely ruined Miss Paper's chest … … And she confirmed again that Miss Paper really did not have any cup.
Just thinking about it made her sad.
She was so pitiful.
If possible, Zhen Xi wanted to share some of her own with her.
But before that, shouldn't she apologize properly?
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhen Xi, I'm so sorry … … I'll help you wash it off, please leave it to me, there won't be any problems."
Right in front of her room, Zhen Xi bowed her head and apologized profusely. She grabbed his sleeve and invited him in, "I still have two sets of clothes to change into, if you don't mind … …"
Huai Shi raised his hand and knocked her on the head.
Without hesitation.
These clothes were prepared by the Rikimi family for their guests, so why was she in such a hurry? She even dragged her to change clothes, so she was probably in a hurry to see something indescribable and terrifying … …
He casually stuffed her back into her room.
Then, she went back to her room to change clothes … … She changed back into the little dress that Russell gave her.
That bastard, he must have planned this for a long time. The size was completely suitable, and it actually looked pretty good when she wore it. Paired with Tongi's makeup, it was really pleasing to the eye.
Look at this otherworldly and elegant temperament, look at this lovely face, and a pair of big eyes that could speak … … Miss Huai Shiki-san was still impeccable today!
Like hell!
Huai Shi felt like his eyes were going blind.
If this continued, he was afraid that he would step onto a terrible wrong path … …
The influence of Young Master Ming's Stigmata paired with women's clothing was too terrifying, and he was actually starting to get used to it. He could only hurry up and settle this mess here.
Soon, he could say goodbye to women's clothing and return to being a popular teacher in the Ivory Tower, Nan Bo Bay.
But the more he encouraged himself, the more Huai Shi felt like he was planting a flag.
Then, he thought about Great Master Ming's transformation and felt a headache. It seemed like the plan to collect Stigmata and Calamity had to be put on the agenda.
Just as he was deep in thought, there was a knock on his door.
It was an impatient and rude knock on his door.
Urging him to open the door quickly.
After the door was opened, a few guests with ill intentions were revealed.
They were obviously Ascendants who had been through many battles. Their expressions were fierce, and they were ready to fight … … But when they saw that the person who opened the door was such a beauty, they were instantly stunned.
Behind them, a man who seemed to be in charge walked up and glanced at Huai Shi's body with an unpleasant gaze, almost drooling.
However, when his gaze fell on Huai Shi's chest, he quickly felt regretful.
It was as if he was heartbroken.
Motherf * cker, why are you so upset?!
Huai Shi's gaze became colder and colder.
"Miss Huai Shiki-san … … right?"
The leader looked at his face and smiled strangely, "Fourth Young Master invites you over."
