Saki Kawasaki muttered this strange word and wondered if the word "爽" could be used as a verb?
Wait a moment...
Have some fun?
Kawasaki Saki's pretty face flushed, she clenched her teeth and stared at Ye Xing hatefully.
"You...you...you actually did such a thing!"
Yexing rolled his eyes and complained.
"I don't even dare to think about what you are thinking about, but what I am talking about is things related to 'working'."
"work to earn a living?"
Saki Kawasaki was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and spoke.
"Oh, so it's something related to work. That's fine."
Yexing shook his head and chuckled.
"You are a person whose thoughts are all written on your face."
"Nah...Nah, what do you care?"
Kawasaki Kyoka jumped off the sofa and walked over, looking like a little adult, and shook his index finger at Kawasaki Saki.
"Sister, you can't talk to big brother like that."
Saki Kawasaki held her forehead and sighed, then rubbed Kawasaki Kyoka's little head.
"You guy, why are your elbows bent outwards?"
Kawasaki Kyoka smiled slyly.
"Hey, we are a family."
At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino got up from the sofa, walked in front of Yexing, and spoke lightly.
"Yehxing, I have something to tell you."
"Come on, let's go to the study."
........
After entering the study and closing the door, Ye Xing sat down and spoke casually.
"Yukinoshita-san, what's going on?"
"Still pretending to be confused?"
A rare look of anger appeared on Yukinoshita Yukino's usually calm face, and she handed the phone to Yexing.
The latter glanced down and saw that it was the article about the members of Chaoliangshe accepting Suga Natsumi's column.
"What's wrong?"
"what happened?"
Seeing that Ye Xing still looked nonchalant, Yukinoshita Yukino's barren chest kept heaving due to the strong fluctuations of emotions, and she said while gritting her teeth.
"Don't you realize that this column report may make you... and others the target of the serial killer?!"
Ye Xing still kept smiling and waved his hand.
"Maybe I'm using this method in the hope of catching a big fish?"
"you..."
Yukino was so angry that she could hardly speak. She slammed her hands on the table and frowned.
"It's already this time, do you still think this is a game? The other party is a real killer. Even if you don't consider your own safety, you have to consider the safety of Yuigahama-san, Futaba-san, Yotsuya-san, Mai-san, and most importantly, Amano-san, right?"
To Yukinoshita Yukino's surprise, the frivolous smile on Yexing's face disappeared instantly when she heard her words.
Instead, there was a serious look on his face that he had never shown before, even when facing the teachers and students of Shuchiin.
“It’s certainly not a game.”
Yexing looked directly into Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes and spoke slowly.
"But it can also be viewed as a game."
“Admittedly, this interview and reporting method of fishing has certain risks.”
“But this was a method that was unanimously approved by all members, including myself.”
It was the first time that Yukinoshita Yukino saw Ye Xing so serious. She was stunned for a moment, and after a long while she hesitated and said.
"But... we have already deduced that the Sunny Doll Killer believed in the legend of the so-called Sunny Girl. All we need to do next is spend some more time..."
"What can you do?"
Before Yukinoshita Yukino could finish her words, Yexing interrupted her.
"Until there are no new cases, it means that there will be no more new clues."
"Besides, the Metropolitan Police Department has not been able to catch the murderer even after five cases have occurred. What's the point of waiting any longer?"
"Waiting for him to make a mistake? That's really naive."
Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and pursed her lips.
"So, you're going to bet your life and the lives of Yuigahama-san and the others?"
"bet?"
Hearing this word, Ye Xing smiled and shook his head, then spoke slowly.
"Yukinoshita-san, do you think this is a life-and-death gamble? I'm afraid you've misunderstood."
Having said that, Yexing stood up and said some arrogant words that made Yukinoshita Yukino feel very complicated.
"The so-called Sunny Doll Killer has fallen into a dead end."
"When he loses depends only on when he takes the bait."
"We, the Chaoliang Society, will never fail."
"It will win."
.......
The next night.
"Oh, it really has been raining all day."
Yuigahama's mother opened the curtains, looked at the rainy sky outside, and said worriedly with her hand on her cheek.
"Really? It rains every day and I can't hang the clothes out to dry."
Yuigahama's mother sighed and looked at the exquisite box on the table and asked curiously.
"Eh? Are these the snacks you bought? Let me try some."
"no!"
Yuigahama's mother just stretched out her hand, and before it landed on the box, Yuigahama Yui took it into her arms like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"Oh~ what?"
Yuigahama's mother looked like she was snickering, and she chuckled behind her lips.
"Could it be that this is for Ye Xingjun?"
Yuigahama Yui blushed and responded softly.
"Um..."
"Giri?"
"Ben...ben...ben..."
Yuigahama Yui's face flushed red, and she really couldn't say those two words. After a while, she suddenly sighed with a gloomy expression.
"Mom, I'm worried... my cooking isn't tasty enough. What should I do if Ye Xing doesn't like it?"
Yuigahama's mother shook her head, walked up to her daughter, stroked her head, and spoke softly.
"Don't worry, Lord Ye Xing will not despise it. What's important is the thought behind your gift, not the taste itself. Do you understand?"
With her mother's encouragement, Yuigahama Yui became obviously more confident and nodded.
"Well, then I understand."
"Now that you know, why don't you go and send it off?"
"Eh?"
Yuigahama Yui glanced out the window and hesitated.
"But it's still raining..."
Yuigahama's mother laughed.
"Once you've made up your mind, do it, Yui, don't hesitate!"
"it is good!"
Yuigahama Yui thought that she had hesitated for so long, and it was time to put aside everything else and express her true thoughts.
Just like what Yumiko Miura had told her.
Friendship that requires disguise and careful maintenance has no value in itself.
Moreover, Yuigahama Yui does not think that the feelings between the members of the Super Energy Society are so shallow and easily broken.
Continuing to cover up unilaterally would be an insult to the feelings between the members.
"Then mom, I'm going out!"
Yuigahama Yui put on her shoes and was about to open the door and leave.
Upon seeing this, Yuigahama's mother quickly picked up the exquisite box on the table, handed it to her daughter, and laughed.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You forgot to bring everything. Here, there's an umbrella."
Yuigahama Yui took the box and umbrella, then ran towards the elevator.
Yuigahama's mother waved from behind and said with a gentle smile.
"Be careful on the road~"
"I know."
At the same time, neither Yuigahama's mother nor Yuigahama Yui noticed that there was a rooftop of a high-rise building opposite the apartment building where they lived.
A man wearing a black hoodie and his face covered with a yellowed old mask, revealing only a pair of malicious and distorted eyes, was monitoring the exit of the apartment building with a telescope in his hand.
When he saw Yuigahama Yui coming out with a beautiful box, an umbrella and casual clothes, his eyes flashed with madness and excitement.
The man stretched out his left hand and caught the rain falling from the sky. He raised his head and looked at the overcast sky. His pupils in his bloodshot eyes had dilated strangely.
"Right away...right away, I will offer a sacrifice for you!"
Then he took out an old-fashioned mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
"Hello, this is the Kyoto City TV hotline. How can I help you?"
The man's voice was as piercing as a broken gong.
"I have a news tip."
"Excuse me, what kind of news clue is it?"
The man spoke slowly with a strange smile in his voice.
"In one hour, that is, at nine o'clock tonight, the Sunny Doll Killer himself will appear in the Suga editing studio. You can check the location yourself."
Hearing this, the operator on the other end was visibly stunned, and spoke cautiously.
"How did you know this?"
The man's eyes showed a look of enjoyment as he spoke word by word.
"Because I am the Sunny Doll Killer."
