"So you don't have to be shy, just think of your aunt as a doctor. In the eyes of doctors, there is no difference between male and female, they are just creatures with different physiological structures." Cangchuan Qingshui glanced at Li Muzhi with the corner of her eye, stretched out her jade hand and made an up and down movement: "If you are willing to cooperate with moderation, your aunt can help you deal with it."
Li Muzhi almost fell headfirst with a strange expression on his face. He turned around and looked at his aunt who was driving. She exuded the charm of an adult woman, and her slender fingers with red nail polish were holding the steering wheel.
Cangchuan Qingshui also felt Li Muzhi's gaze, and deliberately held the steering wheel with both hands, rubbing it gently, which created a strong visual impact.
Li Muzhi's mouth twitched: "Hey, are you sure this is what a normal elder would say?"
"Of course. For my dear nephew to have a healthy value system, this sacrifice is necessary." Cangchuan Qingshui shrugged: "But I heard that those things are very expensive."
"Uh..." Li Muzhi was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he was being played by his aunt again. He actually thought of something strange. As expected, because of the dream, his thoughts were no longer pure. He coughed twice and said awkwardly, "No need."
"Oh~" Cangchuan Qingshui raised her eyes and glanced at Li Muzhi with charming eyes: "You seem a little regretful, what do you think I said."
"Hehe, of course it's that." Li Muzhi looked calm and composed.
"No." Cangchuan Qingshui shook his head seriously and blinked: "I'm talking about things used for safety measures."
The two entered the school just before they were about to be late. Li Muzhi got out of the car with a red face and walked towards the classroom without looking back. When it comes to talking, he couldn't beat his aunt, the queen of talking.
Li Muzhi finally arrived at the classroom just one second before class started.
"Good morning~" Shangshan Xia Xiang turned around, her short black hair looked full of energy, and she greeted with a smile: "Why are you always on time? I envy your time management ability."
"Just make a few more boyfriends." Li Muzhi sat back at his desk and let out a long breath.
"No, my heart and body only belong to Senior Hanayama Yuzuru." Uesugi Xia Xiang had a look of longing on his face, and a perverted smile appeared on his face from time to time, as if he was caught in a strange fantasy.
"Hey, wake up." Li Muzhi patted her head with a book: "A dog licker will end up with nothing."
"Is there any news about senior sister from Huashanyuan today?" Li Muzhi suddenly asked.
"Hey, hey!" Shangshan Xiaxiang looked suspicious: "Who said that I have no interest in senior sister?"
"As a high school student full of vigor and vitality, isn't it normal for me to suddenly fall in love with a senior girl with black stockings?" Li Muzhi was not embarrassed at all.
"Hmph, man." Shangshan Xia Xiang snorted coldly, but then he turned his eyes and lowered his voice and said quietly: "Actually, I am too~"
The two men extended their hands at the same time and bumped fists to show their comradeship in sharing the same hobbies.
The morning classes ended quickly.
Li Muzhi bought two loaves of bread from the canteen, and started eating and chatting with Shangshan Xiaxiang in a hidden corner under the teaching building.
"I think Hanayama Yuzuru-senpai must be under a lot of pressure." Uesugi Xia Xiang took the bread, took a big bite, and said, "Senior-senpai experienced family changes when she was a child, and in order to not make her mother sad, she did her best in everything she did."
"This strong light novel flavor is so strong." Li Muzhi looked suspicious and took a sip of the milk. Although he said so, based on the currently known information, this is really possible.
"This is called art comes from life." Shangshan Xiaxiang stood up straight: "The divorce of a son-in-law and an adopted son is unheard of. You can imagine how devastated Senior Huashanyuan is. On one side is her mother, and on the other side is her father. All she can do is try to make herself excellent and make her mother happy. And this also echoes Senior's gentle personality, doesn't it?"
"I actually think what you said makes sense." Li Muzhi also picked up the bread and took a bite: "By the way, do you know the father of Senior Sister Huashanyuan?"
"Her father?" Shangshan Xiaxiang was stunned for a while before speaking: "That was all ten years ago, and the Huashanyuan family deliberately blocked the news, so he disappeared a long time ago."
"I think we can find a lot of clues from her father." Li Muzhi said and looked at Shangshan Xiaxiang: "You should be able to investigate it."
"I would never do such a thing~" Uesugi Xia Xiang said righteously.
"This way we can get to know Senior Sister Huashanyuan better." Li Muzhi said with a smile: "Maybe Senior Sister is in great pain now and needs our help~"
Shangshan Xiaxiang hesitated for a few seconds, then patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me!"
"Okay, it's a deal." Li Muzhi also stretched out his hand, and the two bumped fists in the air.
At this moment, in the classroom opposite the two of them, a pair of eyes hidden behind the curtains were looking at this side coldly.
"Senior Hanayama." A little girl came up from behind and said with admiration: "Um, can I have lunch with you?"
"Of course~" Yuzuru Hanayama's cold expression immediately disappeared, replaced by his usual warm smile.
Time quickly came to the end of school. Li Muzhi left school early because he did not join any clubs. Since his aunt Cangchuan Qingshui would not get off work until six o'clock, he had no car to go home alone.
The rented apartment is close to the suburbs, and if I choose to take the subway I can save half an hour.
But Li Muzhi was not in a hurry. He held his schoolbag at his waist and walked around the city.
Most of the houses near the suburbs of Dongguo are private land, which also makes the surrounding residential buildings look very old.
The streets are not wide and pedestrians pass by on the paths from time to time.
Li Muzhi has had extraordinary hearing since he was a child. After years of practice, he can judge the approximate height and weight of the owner of the sound from the different sounds made by leather shoes and high heels stepping on the ground.
However, so far, no other uses have been developed besides eavesdropping on gossip.
Li Muzhi's walking pace is a unique way of practice that he created himself. In fact, it is to control the distance of each step to be exactly the same, so as to practice control over the body at all times.
After so many years of practice, I have no problem beating three or four adults.
Of course, these are of no use. After all, reality is not fiction. There are not even any delinquents in Yunqueqiu High School where I am currently studying.
Even if you really offend those politicians and the second generation of chaebols, they will not fight you directly, let alone do something mindless like hiring thugs to leave a stain on themselves.
The sun was setting at this moment, and the afterglow dyed the surroundings red. A breeze blew on my face, carrying the smell of earth.
This is reality. It won't be like the clichéd scenes in light novels where girls are bullied by hooligans as long as they walk alone.
"Hi! Beauty, let's go play together." Not far away, in the alley between two residential buildings, the voice of a man talking and the sound of a knife dancing in the air could be heard.
"..." Li Muzhi rubbed his temple, silently took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and planned to call the police. It was impossible to fight.
Chapter 8 Our Secret
Although I can fight, if the enemy has weapons, of course I will choose to call the police.
Reality is not a novel. If you save someone randomly, she may become the daughter of a chaebol, and you may fall in love with her.
A proper young lady would never go into the alley alone.
"Sorry, please leave. My boyfriend will be here soon." The voice coming from the alley was particularly familiar because I could hear it every night.
Li Muzhi put away his phone, took a few steps forward, came to the entrance of the alley, and looked inside.
With black stockings, long legs, a thin waist, and a bulging school uniform, Yuzuru Hanayama stood in a very ladylike posture, surrounded by two fashionably dressed young men. There was no panic on her face, and she had the same faint smile as in school.
The two bad guys also saw Li Muzhi and were obviously stunned for a moment. Before they could go through the process, they said a few threatening words like "Don't meddle in other people's business."
Yuzuru Hanazono had already walked up and hugged Li Muzhi's arm, his whole body seeming to be leaning on his arms.
"Look, my boyfriend is here, you better leave quickly."
The two people with poor health were stunned for a moment, as if they suddenly came to their senses. They looked at Li Muzhi suspiciously.
"Tsk, you have a boyfriend now." The two looked at each other, put away the butterfly knives in their hands, and turned away.
"Uh..." Li Mu was stunned. Are these two guys here to make fun of me? Are the butterfly knives in your hands really used to show off?
The two bad guys left cleanly and neatly, without giving Li Muzhi any chance to show off and embarrass himself.
Li Muzhi pulled his hand away and found that his right hand was held in the arms of Yuzuru Hanazawa. What arm? Although they had used various postures and props in their dreams, this was the first time they were so close in reality.
One is a real chaebol daughter, and the other is an ordinary high school student. The two should never have anything to do with each other.
"Sorry, classmate. I was a little scared just now. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you." Yuzuru Hanayama loosened his hands, took a step back, and bowed deeply to Li Muzhi. While bowing, he placed his right hand lightly on his collar. This not only appeared polite, but also prevented his chest from being exposed. Every move he made reflected the upbringing of a lady from a noble family.
"Um...it's okay." Li Muzhi looked suspicious. Yuzuru Hanayama acted too normal, as if they didn't know each other at all and were just ordinary students from the same school.
Could it be that I guessed wrong? The Yuzuru Hanayamain in the dream and the Yuzuru Hanayamain in reality actually have nothing to do with each other. The two people give people very different feelings.
"Thank you for saving me. I'm Yuzuru Hanayamain from the third grade." Yuzuru Hanayamain stretched out a hand and introduced himself.
"Second grade, Li Muzhi." Li Muzhi also stretched out his hand, and the two of them just touched lightly before separating.
"So it's my junior fellow apprentice." Yuzuru Hanayama crossed his fingers and said with a smile, "How about this, to express my gratitude, I'll treat you to croquettes."
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Li Muzhi thought for a few seconds. The two of them hardly had any contact at school. Meeting each other now might be a deliberate arrangement or a coincidence, but if he wanted to get more information, he had to take the initiative to contact them.
"Then please follow me, junior brother, don't get lost~" Yuzuru Hanayama turned around with a smile and walked forward with Li Muzhi.
Hanayama Yuzuru was obviously very familiar with the road. The two did not walk far before arriving at a small park. She walked skillfully to a small stall and waved to the owner: "Boss, two croquettes~"
The boss was a middle-aged man in his fifties. When he saw Hanayama Yuzuru coming over, he smiled and asked, "Is the dipping sauce the same as usual?"
"Yes, thank you, boss~" Yuzuru Hanayama greeted with a skillful smile.
"Here, take it." The boss' hands were extremely fast and he quickly finished it and handed it over.
"Thank you~ Here's the money." Yuzuru Hanayama took out a few banknotes and placed them on the stall skillfully, then handed one to Li Muzhi: "Let's go, there's a seat over there."
The two of them quickly sat down on the wooden double chair next to them.
Yuzuru Hanayama took out the croquette in his hand, opened his little mouth and took a big bite, revealing a happy expression on his face.
"You seem to come here to eat croquettes often?" Li Muzhi took a look and turned his head away. Her mouth was very beautiful, and he had rushed there many times. Now, looking at Yuzuru Hanayama's pure and happy face, he felt a sense of guilt for no reason.
"Yes, I come here almost every week." Hanayama Yuzuru looked intoxicated, turned his head and blinked at Li Muzhi: "This is our secret, junior brother, don't tell others~"
"Okay, but..." Li Muzhi glanced at Hanayama Yuzuru's pretty face: "I thought senior sister would like... well, more upscale food."
"The price of food only represents its rarity, and has nothing to do with its taste." Hanayama Yuzuru took another bite and said with a grin, "If you think something is delicious just because it's rare, isn't that ridiculous?"
“That’s right.” Li Muzhi smiled and took a bite. He didn’t know if it was because he was brainwashed by Yuzuru Hanazawa, but it tasted really good.
The two sat on wooden chairs and chatted for a while, all about very common student topics.
Yuzuru Hanayama is extremely skilled in chatting. His topics are always kept at the level of ordinary alumni, all of which are interesting things about the school. He is neither too close nor too distant.
"See you next time, Junior Brother Li Muzhi." Yuzuru Hanayamain bowed very politely and then got into a black car that was originally meant to be a ride for him, but Li Muzhi declined.
Hanazono Yuzuru did not force it. After saying hello, he got in the car and left, as if they were just ordinary classmates.
Watching the black car disappear into the street.
Li Muzhi walked over to the uncle selling croquettes and asked with a smile, "Uncle, two more croquettes!"
"Okay!" the middle-aged boss responded and started to make it skillfully.
"By the way." Li Muzhi suddenly asked with a smile: "My friend said that your croquettes are the best snacks she has ever eaten. I don't know how long she has been eating them."
"Kid~" The middle-aged boss glanced at Li Muzhi, showing an expression that said I understand, and said, "It's been a year, about. He is a very polite and good kid."
After that, he handed over the packaged croquettes: "Here you go, take it."
"Thanks, boss." Li Muzhi took out the money and put it on the stall, then took the takeaway box.
It was already six o'clock when Li Muzhi walked back home.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw my aunt's black high-heeled shoes kicked on the ground in the entrance.
