Chapter 444 Xiaolan's Promise
As the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, Sonoko is always picked up and dropped off by car when she travels. With her status, there is no way she would squeeze into the bus with others.
However, there are exceptions to everything. If he is accompanying his good sister Xiaolan, then it is a different matter.
After all, the sisterhood is deep, and for Xiaolan, Sonoko is willing to put aside the so-called status of a young lady.
On the bus, Yuanzi woke up from a nap, yawned, rubbed her sleepy eyes, then glanced out the window and found that she was almost at the stop.
She stood up, stretched her body and loosened her stiff body.
At this time, she noticed that Xiaolan behind her had also fallen asleep in her seat, so she quickly walked over, stretched out her hand and gently pushed her: "Xiaolan, Xiaolan, how long are you going to sleep? Hurry up and get up, it will be here soon."
"Um……"
Hearing the call, Xiaolan, who was sleeping against the car window, made a dazed sound and slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing this, Yuanzi put her hands on her hips in annoyance and said, "Oh, I just asked you to call me, how come you called me the other way around!"
After a short pause, Xiaolan came to her senses and asked subconsciously, "Have we reached Muromachi Hospital Station?"
"I've already passed that stop!"
Sonoko answered helplessly, with a hint of complaint in her voice.
"Ah?" Xiaolan asked quickly, "Has the old man gotten off the train yet?"
"The old gentleman?"
Sonoko had a gloomy face and had no idea what Xiaolan was talking about.
"That's the old gentleman. I remember his last name was Shele. He was sitting next to me just now."
Xiaolan looked very anxious and her voice became a little louder.
Yuanzi scratched his head, still with a confused expression on his face, still not understanding what Xiaolan was talking about, "How should I know, I didn't see such an old man at all."
"That's because you fell asleep!"
"You fell asleep too!"
Yuanzi retorted angrily, then thought of something and asked, "Xiaolan, are you dreaming?"
"dream……"
Hearing what Sonoko said, Xiaolan couldn't help but feel confused. She lowered her head and began to wonder if she was really sleepy.
But after thinking for a long time, she still felt that it was not a dream.
She clearly remembered that before she fell asleep, a white-haired old man sat next to her, saying with a worried look on his face that his eyesight was poor and he could not recognize the stations, and asked her to remind him when she arrived at Muromachi Hospital Station.
She was kind-hearted and agreed without hesitation. However, she felt sleepy and fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that she had passed her stop and the old man was gone.
For Xiaolan, who always values her promises, this is something she should feel very guilty about.
To the extent that, when she was about to get off the bus, she ran to the driver to ask if he had seen the old man.
Unfortunately, there were so many people getting off at that stop that the driver had no memory of it.
……
"Okay, we're finally back here!"
Standing at the bus stop not far from Hanyu Kusunoki's villa, Sonoko cheered excitedly.
"Xiao Lan, why don't you go to Nan's house for dinner first, and then go back to cook for that uncle and the kid."
Sonoko patted Xiaolan on the shoulder and gave a suggestion with a smile, but she found that she was absent-minded and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm still a little worried..."
Xiaolan frowned slightly and bit her lips gently.
"worry about what?"
"taxi!"
Xiaolan did not answer Sonoko's question, but waved to stop a taxi.
Then she quickly pulled Yuanzi in and sat in.
"Xiaolan, what are you doing?"
"Yuanzi, just come with me!"
In order to fulfill her promise, Xiaolan, who has always been frugal and only takes the bus, chose the more expensive taxi without hesitation this time.
Muromachi Hospital.
"Okay, what are you going to do now? And since you have to come look for me, why don't you ask Nan to come along."
Yuanzi put her hands on her hips, looking at the hospital gate in front of her, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
On the way here, she had already found out what was going on.
It turned out that an old man didn't know the station, so he asked Xiaolan to call him when he arrived at the station. As a result, Xiaolan accidentally overslept.
Now Xiaolan is worried that the other party might get off at the wrong station or something unexpected might happen.
"I don't want to trouble Nan with these little things."
Xiaolan shook her head slightly.
Once you make a promise, you should fulfill it yourself.
"Besides, it seems that the old gentleman has something else to visit Dad today."
Xiaolan continued, the worry on her face becoming more and more obvious.
"Well, there's really nothing I can do about you..." Sonoko sighed, thinking that she could only pamper her good sister herself.
She raised her hand and pointed forward, "Let's go there."
Xiaolan turned around and saw a sign of a newspaper office. "Ah, Rice Flower Newspaper Office?"
"Across from him is Muromachi Hospital."
As Yuanzi said this, he pulled Xiaolan and walked over quickly.
The two asked at the hospital front desk, and saw the nurse looking through the computer for a while, then shook her head and said, "There is no record of Shele Chongji at all, not even on the visitor list."
There was no way out. Xiaolan, who had completely lost the clue, had to listen to Sonoko and go back first.
……
Hanyu House.
In the living room, Hanyu Kusunoki was concentrating on playing Contra with Xiao Ai. Both of them stared at the TV screen with very focused expressions.
They agreed to complete the game with one life.
However, imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel.
Before the fight was halfway through, excited shouts were heard in the yard.
"Nan, Ai, Mingmei, I, Suzuki Sonoko, am back again!"
The voice has been heard before the person arrives.
The moment she heard it, Xiao Ai's expression froze and her hand movements paused. At this moment, the health bar of the character on TV was quickly emptied.
"Very well, you died first, Ai-chan, and now you owe me a favor that I can't refuse."
Hanyu Kusunoki put down the handle proudly, with a sly smile on his face, and silently gave Sonoko a thumbs up in his heart.
When they started playing the game just now, the two had made an agreement that whoever died first would have to agree to a request from the other that could not be refused.
Now he wins.
He had already thought of all the requirements, and it was time to send the little maid into action.
It is only natural for a sister to pay off her sister's debt.
Xiao Ai: “…”
Looking at the playful smile on Hanyu Kusunoki's face, Ai raised her hand and gently covered her delicate and cute little face.
She didn't even have to think about it to know that the request made by the pervert was absolutely perverted.
But she couldn't just cheat and not admit it, otherwise when it was her turn to win next time, Hanyu Kusunoki would definitely cheat as well, which would be even more troublesome.
