I don’t know how long it took.
Vermouth came back, walked away from her, and walked towards the gate, saying without looking back:
"Tell that woman that if she dares to do something, she must be responsible for it. There is no point in hiding. The deadline I give her is only Christmas Eve, otherwise everyone she knows will be in trouble. Oh, and that includes the child you care about..."
Hear the words.
A murderous intent flashed in Ikeba Shizuka's eyes. When she was about to chase after her, Vermouth had already walked out of the gate of the yard, causing her to stop immediately.
………………
………………
Time flies.
After school.
Xingye Bai Ze walked beside the three girls, looking at the direction they were heading, and asked curiously:
"Isn't this the road to Sanchome? What are you going to do? Go shopping?"
"That's only half right." Hibiki Eri replied with a smile: "Shopping is indeed shopping, but we are going to buy things."
Lai Sheng Lei said softly: "Teacher Jinghua also needs to dress up, otherwise when Christmas Eve comes, there will always be a lack of atmosphere."
Yukiko curled her lips and said, "You see, boys are not as good as us girls in these matters. For them, these festivals are more enjoyable than just giving them money."
"..."
Hoshino Bai Ze rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that he would be criticized like this.
Although I really hadn't thought about this question, I didn't want to admit it, so I pretended not to hear it and changed the subject directly:
"You guys want to buy a Christmas tree too?"
"Hmm..." x3
For a while.
The three women fell into deep thought.
This is indeed a problem. If you really buy a tree, it is somewhat inappropriate. If you buy it and don't take care of it, and it dies in the future, it will be somewhat unlucky.
"How about this." Hoshino Bai Ze made a good suggestion: "I've seen a lot of fake Christmas trees that are made of plastic. After buying them, you can take them out and decorate them during Christmas, and then put them in the warehouse after the holiday. Although they are not as good as the real ones, they can be recycled. What do you think?"
"Okay, I agree." Kisaki Eri chose to support her boyfriend and looked at the two women.
"Okay." Yukiko nodded.
"Where can I buy it?" Lai Sheng Lei grasped the key point of the question.
Hoshino Bai Ze didn't say anything, but slowly walked to a clothing store next to him, looked at a decorated Christmas tree at the door of the store, and reached out to touch it gently.
Well, plastic.
This action made the three women suddenly realize something.
It doesn't matter if you can't find it, just ask someone where to buy it, it's quite convenient.
Chapter 0114: Yukiko riding a horse
When Hoshino Bai Ze and the others came to Ikenami Shizuka, they came in a small truck.
Yes, it’s a small truck.
Because there were so many things to buy, we had to hire a car to pull them over, and we also asked several staff members to help move the things.
As the gate opened.
There was no need for Hoshino Bai Ze and the others to say anything, the hardworking workers had already started working, moving things into the yard one by one.
"This is?"
Ikenami Shizuka and Chikage appeared together, looking at the scene in front of them, somewhat puzzled.
Just as Hoshino Shirazawa was about to speak, Yukiko spoke first:
"Christmas is coming, and we were planning to decorate this place nicely, but we ended up buying too much."
"Oh~"
Qianying suddenly realized, and Ikeba Jinghua reacted a little slower and nodded along with him.
This scene.
It happened to be noticed by Hoshino Bai Ze.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the two women in front of him with curiosity. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that there seemed to be something strange between them.
But he couldn't see what was strange.
Finally, he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
The staff is very fast.
Ten minutes' time.
He moved all the goods down, said goodbye to them politely, took the fee, and drove away.
Xingye Bai Ze looked at the sky where the sun was about to set and asked the girls:
"Should we start now or wait until tomorrow?"
"Of course it's now." Hibiki Eri smiled and said, "I only feel it when I'm busy. I don't feel anything when I'm slow."
"Yes." Lai Sheng Lei echoed.
"Sure, I feel the same way." Qianying also spoke at this time.
Hoshino Bai Ze shrugged: "Okay, let's get started. I'll set up the stage."
Here's the shelf.
Just set it up in the yard and wrap it with colorful lights. When it lights up on Christmas Eve, it looks very beautiful.
Since there is none in the yard, they can only buy this stainless steel one. Anyway, it can be dismantled in the end, which is quite convenient.
Next.
Everyone started to busy themselves.
Some were assembling things, and some were observing the surroundings to see where they could put things.
Just as Xingye Bai Ze was assembling the shelf, Qianying slowly came over and said softly:
"let me help you."
"Thank you, Miss Qianying." Xingye Bai Ze raised his eyebrows: "By the way, Miss Qianying, I always feel that your voice is weird today."
"Well, I have a bit of a cold."
"That's it..."
Hoshino Bai Ze nodded and continued to work.
When he was halfway done and felt that there was no need to panic, he asked about this:
"Ms. Qianying, I mentioned this to you a long time ago. Why didn't you listen to me? Why did you do such a dangerous thing?"
"Ah?" Qianying looked stunned, as if she didn't understand.
"There's no need to pretend." Xingye Bai Ze looked at the girls who were a little far away from them and said softly, "I just want to know what you are thinking?"
"I...I...I..." Qianying stammered, unable to utter a word, and looked at Ikeba Jinghua in the distance.
Sudden.
this moment.
Hoshino Bai Ze had a flash of inspiration.
He finally felt it, he finally felt that something was wrong.
When we first met Chikage and Ikenami Shizuka, when Yukiko mentioned the Christmas costumes, Chikage was the first to react, but Ikenami Shizuka was a beat slower. Something was wrong.
Now Qianying's voice is strange again. She says she has a cold. This is the second thing that is wrong.
Finally, when he asked about Vermouth, even if he didn't explain it clearly, Qianying should be able to understand it instantly.
However, Qianying looked confused, as if she had no idea who she was talking about.
Suddenly.
All the thoughts in Xingye Bai Ze's mind were figured out. Looking at Qianying in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said faintly:
"Teacher Jinghua, what are you and Miss Qianying playing? Are you turning into each other?"
That’s right, the Qianying in front of him was not Qianying at all, but Ikeha Shizuka.
The only person who can do this and make both sides change their appearances can only be the real Chikage, Ikeba Shizuka who is now helping on the other side.
"Bai Zejun, you found me."
Qianying blushed a little, not knowing what happened. Even though she was wearing a mask, she could still see her shy blush, which almost made Hoshino Bai Ze think he had made a mistake.
"Ms. Jinghua, you should change back. I'm really not used to this."
"Ok."
Qianying nodded, then came to Ikebo Jinghua's side, whispered something to her, and then walked into the house.
The two women came into the house.
Close the door.
Ikebo Shizuka pulled off the mask, revealing her true appearance, and said in surprise:
"Ms. Jinghua, how were you discovered? Did you say it yourself?"
"No."
While Qianying was speaking, she also took off the mask on her face and returned to her original appearance, which was that of Ikeba Shizuka herself.
She continued:
"He said something to me, and I didn't react, and then he found me."
"What?"
"Not very clear, seemed to ask me why I did this, and said I told you about it."
"Uh..." Qianying understood now and realized why Ikenami Shizuka was exposed.
She didn't dwell on this matter and changed the subject directly:
"So are we going to continue like this?"
"no need."
"Phew...it's good that you figured it out. That woman came to find me, there's no need for me to make you look like me and fight her to the death. Don't worry, I got advice from an expert and I already have a way to get through this difficult time."
"is it?"
"Yes, but I am unwilling to act in that way. I will find a way to solve this matter myself."
"But her threat..." The reason why Ikenami Shizuka exchanged identities with Qianying was because of the last words that Vermouth said before she left in the morning, which touched her sore spot.
Now Hoshino Bai Ze is very important in her eyes, and she doesn't want him to get hurt.
So she thought of this. Since Vermouth was going to find Chikage, she would transform into her appearance and confuse Vermouth, which would make it easier for her to launch a sneak attack.
Just didn't expect it.
The good plan that I just thought of was seen through by Hoshino Bai Ze.
"Miss Jinghua, don't worry." Qianying's expression was very serious: "If I can resolve this injustice before Christmas Eve, I will surrender. Don't worry, she hasn't learned how to prepare my potion yet, so she won't kill me. At most, I will suffer some minor injuries."
Ikeba Jinghua remained silent and did not answer. No one knew what she was thinking.
Qianying continued:
"I have already prepared the medicine as I promised you last time. I think the best time is Christmas Eve."
at last.
Ikeba Shizuka reacted and her fair face turned red.
