"Shi Chenjun is really cunning, he actually deceived Mizuho like that!"

After leaving the rosary shop, after there was basically no one nearby, Zi Yuan chuckled and 'teased' Shi Chen, who was walking side by side with her.

In the whole conversation between Shichen and her sister Mizuho Miyakoji just now, she has always maintained a state of 'just looking, not talking', and only at the beginning and end did she say hello to her sister. But that doesn't mean she's unconcerned about the conversation between the two — on the contrary, she's always focused on something that concerns someone's vital interests, even their safety.

"There's no way around it." His eyes condensed slightly, and in an instant, Shi Chen regained the seemingly omniscient smile just now, "I can't tell my sister directly: I know your true identity!" In this case, not only will it take a long time just to explain, but those sisters of yours will probably not let me go out lightly, right? ”

"So Shi Chenjun is for Mizuho-san, okay?"

Looking at Ziyuan's dark eyes with a hint of dark green and full of smiles, Shi Chen felt an inexplicable headache - what do you want him to say about this kind of thing between adults? I had to say helplessly: "Ziyuan, do you really want me to say it?" ”

"If Shi Chenjun doesn't mind, I'd like to hear it!"

"Well, if Shion-san wants to hear it."

"I know Mizuho-san's true identity, but I pretend I don't know; Mizuho-san's father, the head of the family, also guessed that I knew, but he pretended not to know that I knew; I guessed he knew I knew, but I pretended not to know that he knew I knew. And he would have expected that I would pretend not to know that he knew I knew, but he would definitely pretend not to know that I would pretend not to know that he knew I knew - the basic situation of this matter, that's it. ”

"What does Shi Chenjun mean is that this is a tacit understanding between you and Mizuho's father?"

First dumbfounded, and then after thinking for a while, Zi Yuan gently nodded his chin and asked Shi Chen.

You really understand my tongue twister with a lot of nonsense?!

Of course, it can also be said that Ziyuan grasped the key point in Shi Chen's words.

"Hehe, Shi Chenjun seems to be surprised?" Seeing that Shi Chen was a little stunned because of the smile of the magic stick, Zi Yuan chuckled lightly, with a hint of naughtiness in his voice.

"Quite surprised!" With a light breath, Shi Chen pushed his glasses, but said in a calm tone.

"However, it is not accurate to say that it is tacit understanding or something." After a pause, Shi Chen continued with some self-deprecation, "After all, I am not on the same order of magnitude as His Excellency the family master, I can only say that he thinks I still have some value worth using!" Maybe the same trustee sent someone to Sakuraso! Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for them to say that it is commonplace to call out the thieves or something! ”

"This possibility should be relatively small, right?"

For Shi Chen, who said such heart-wrenching words, Ziyuan could only persuade with some embarrassment.

Having experienced the great changes with Shi Chen, she not only knew that Shi Chen's suspension of school that year was inseparable from the acquiescence and encouragement of the council, but also knew that Shi Chen had always hated him - of course, the latter was only clear after staying in Sakura Village.

"If it's just this director, it's really unlikely." Shi Chen continued to analyze objectively and said, "However, if it is a collective of the council, the possibility is quite large - those guys hate the storage of zài that is not under their control, and if they can test out my (some) hole cards so easily, it will be a really good deal for them." ”

"At that time, the minister thought that what happened the night before was most likely caused by them?"

Gentle eyes looked at Shi Chen with a hint of worry, and as he spoke, Ziyuan's fingers crossed tightly tightened.

"Well, probably." After thinking about it, Shi Chen replied irresponsibly—or heartlessly: "But who knows—even I don't know how deep this pool of water is beside me." I can relate to most people, but I have conflicts with many more people. There are not a few things like this one that happened - if I really had something wrong with my body because I left the customs early, and the council and the family couldn't come up with strong enough evidence to prove that the matter had nothing to do with them, not to mention myself, maybe Sanqian and Senior Sister would also have a dislike for them; In the unlikely event that there are any more 'insiders' to provide some 'evidence', it is not impossible for the two sides to be separated from each other. ”

"But if it's really what they instructed them to do, as long as the hands and feet are clean, there's nothing I can do with them—I can't get into trouble with them because of the slightest suspicion, right? They can even come up with some 'proof' before I get angry, which one of their opponents did. According to my habit of revenge in the past, I can kill two birds with one stone and three birds. ”

“”

Silent.

Silence again.

Although she had guessed, imagined, and tried her best to understand, when she heard him say this, Shion still didn't know what to do or how to think about it.

Is the life of Shi Chenjun like this?

I knew that his life was different from that of my own people, but I didn't expect it to be so different.

Everyone needs to be on guard, everything needs to be vigilant, and every action needs to be deliberate

Calculate every step, be careful in everything, danger lurks, and cages are everywhere.

Is it because of this that he is indifferent and unkind?

This kind of life must be very painful, right?

"Shion-san?"

Seeing that she stopped and looked distracted, Shi Chen also stopped and asked.

"Huh?"

"Shion-san?" Seeing that she still didn't look like she had come back to her senses, Shi Chen asked again, slightly aggravating his tone.

"Well, nothing." Smiled slightly apologetically, Ziyuan looked at him, with an indissoluble tenderness in his eyes, which made Shi Chen subconsciously dodge for a while, "Is there something wrong with Shi Chenjun?" ”

"Uh, nothing, just wanted to ask where are you going next?"

"I don't have anything to do in the morning!" The fair-skinned slender fingers pressed the whiter jaw, "Eden's ending won't start until the afternoon, does Shi Chenjun have any arrangements?" ”

"Nope." Shi Chen, who thought there was no need to lie, replied.

"Do you want to go shopping with me then? For example, I went to see Akiko's competition, or Misaki-san's 'Forest Exhibition' of the Art Department."

“？”

"Are you going?" Smiling Shion asked again, or rather invited.

Shi Chen suddenly felt that it was difficult for him to refuse this sudden invitation.

Why?

"Okay."

Being watched by Aster, Shi Chen decided not to think about it

"Huh?"

In the lounge, which was temporarily converted from the club activity room, the princess of Yongshui, who had originally closed her eyes, gently opened her dark and pure eyes and let out a surprised sigh.

"Did something happen?" Kasumi Ishito, who was closest to her, asked.

"The breath of that god that day has reappeared."

With a look of confusion, the princess of the Kirishima Divine Realm, a girl with nine goddesses on her body, said softly.
