If Yasuno returns to the art room at that time......

Plus what Yasuno once said before.

It was Saturday, when Xia Jing was about to go to the toilet after class, he ran into her by chance, and what she said at that time surprised him a little, thinking that she really didn't like Fang Yuan.

"Xia Jing, to be honest, I actually hate Fang Yuan."

"I think Fang Yuan is too withdrawn, making friends is such a thing, wouldn't it be good to figure out a way by yourself, why are you always waiting for others to find her?"

Anye's words at that time clearly showed that she didn't like Fang Yuan, and even disgusted it.

However, based on these words alone, it cannot be determined that An Ye is the murderer who killed Fang Yuan.

But after hearing what Qiu Yin said, Xia Jing was still very uneasy in his heart.

What should I do now?

Are you going to ask Li Qi for some news?

It's just that, judging from the tone of the conversation in the morning, it seems that she doesn't know anything.

Or do you want to question Ye Ya? If you could ask her to describe in detail what happened that night, maybe you could ask for something. Moreover, he remembered that they had said that the people who completed the ritual would more or less inherit the memories and feelings of the original owners of the body. Maybe Ye Ya will remember the appearance of the guy who bullied Fang Yuan. Take the headshots of the tea club members to her and compare them, as long as one of them matches-

"Xia Jing, are you okay?"

Qiu Yin's worried voice brought Xia Jing back to his senses.

"Ahh I'm sorry. ”

“…… What now? Shall I try to see around the bush? ”

"No, no."

Xia Jing shook his head. We must not let Autumn Yin be affected. If this is just an ordinary disappearance, the problem is that there may be a group of unfamiliar and unrealistic guys involved.

"Let's see what happens for now. Besides, Fang Yuan may also run back suddenly, if the bullying incident is true, then you can ask her again. Besides, I don't think it's time to talk too much about it and cause a storm...... So don't tell anyone about it yet. ”

"Well, no problem."

After Xia Jing cautiously admonished, Qiu Yin nodded in agreement.

"Telling the girls' whispers to others makes me feel terrified."

"I'm sorry to make you feel like you're a spy."

"No, it won't."

Qiu Yin smiled a little shy at Xia Jing.

"If it's someone else, I won't talk about it...... You and I just said that. ”

Hearing this, Xia Jing's heart couldn't help but beat.

"Thank you. I'll let you know if I get any news. ”

After all, the other party is Qiu Yin, and there must be no other meaning in these words.

"When the matter is settled, I'll give you a thank you gift or something."

However, Qiu Yin's answer made Xia Jing, who casually made a promise, was half frightened to death.

"Really? Would you please date me? ”

“…… What? ”

"I haven't dated this old yet! I said it yearningly. ”

"No, no, it's better to wait until you get a boyfriend."

With Qiu Yin's conditions, your boyfriend should be whatever you want-Xia Jing wanted to use this joke to divert the focus, but-

“…… It's true, so people have always wanted to pay it. No matter how hard I try to show goodwill over the past year, I have always been treated as air, and I will be discouraged. ”

To Xia Jing's surprise, the other party said something even more terrible.

"Huh...... What? ”

"Well, forget it. Anyway, I don't think it's a good time to think about this kind of problem. In a word...... If anything happens, don't forget to contact me. I'm also worried about Fang Yuan. ”

"Oh, no...... Ahhhh ”

Faced with a vague response, Qiu Yin ended the conversation with a sentence of "Then I'll go back to the classroom first", turned around and left. Xia Jing couldn't react. It's just a stunned pestle in place, staring blankly at the back of Qiu Yin.

- Hey, what's that like?

Obviously, since he was born for 16 years, he has never been favored by girls until not long ago.

As a result, all of a sudden, I learned about the kindness of my classmate who is no longer alive through the mouth of a third party, and all of a sudden it was a marriage proposal from a girl who inherited the body of a classmate, and finally I was even honored to get a date invitation from a beautiful girl who was one of the best in school, and the head melon was directly hit by a meteorite and felt relatively close to reality...... If it weren't for the current situation, Xia Jing would have been happy to grab someone casually and hug him wildly.

But now I really can't be happy about my peach blossom luck.

Xia Jing let out a deep sigh and walked listlessly as if he was going to follow Qiu Yin away.

There have been so many things going on since the weekend. Why do all the good and the bad come at the same time? Xia Jing couldn't help but curse the god with resentment.

Xia Jing hesitated to discuss with Li Qi all day long, but she seemed to have frequent contact with other girls in the clan because of infighting, and she was not in the classroom after every class. Just when the timing was not right, it was time for school to end in the blink of an eye. As a result, Xia Jing didn't ask anything and set out on the way home alone.

- By the way, I haven't checked the looks of the people on the list.

Everything that needs to be done is left unattended, and there is no progress.

Although as long as he still has the slightest doubt about Anye, the list may not have much significance. But after all, such thoughts are just an excuse for their own procrastination.

"What the hell am I doing...... Well? ”

When Xia Jing was listlessly walking on the road and talking to himself, the mobile phone rang suddenly.

It was the prompt ringtone of the text message, so Xia Jing took out his mobile phone and turned it on. After checking the contents, it was found that it was from the mother.

'One carton of eggs, 500 grams of chicken breast, two bottles of one liter of milk. ’

"How is this ......?"

It turned out to be an instruction for shopping. When Xia Jing goes home, he goes to the supermarket as an errand.

Having said that, the newsletter doesn't even say "go buy these things", which is not an article at all, at most it is just a list of items. Can't you just be polite?

Xia Jing sighed. If it were me who sent a text message to my family for the same thing, the result would probably be half a catty. When I thought of this summer scene, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. It is indeed an indisputable fact that there is a father and a son.

- Sister, that's not the case.

Although Xia Jing can't remember what his sister's face looks like now, he remembers his personality very clearly. She didn't look like her parents at all. She has a gentle temper, and no matter what she does, she has a very stable and generous attitude, and she has an elegant temperament-

“…… Tut. ”

Xia Jing smacked his tongue. will think of my sister, which proves that I am in a very upset state now.

In the past, whenever I got into trouble, I would make unnecessary assumptions such as "I don't know what I would do if it were my sister" or "If my sister was still around".

I don't know if I have any money on me. Xia Jing scratched his head and planned to change his mood, and opened his bag to confirm.

Because the amount should be enough to buy something, Xia Jing went directly to the nearby supermarket. Although it was not on the way home, it was not far enough to go home and ride a bicycle first.

- Speaking of which, what happened to the bike?

On Friday night, Xia Jing rode his bicycle back to school - and then left it in front of the school gate or on campus and didn't bring it back.

When I went to school today, I don't remember seeing the bicycle that I left aside. It is impossible for Yaya and Anno to be so kind as to keep the bicycle for him.

I'm afraid it was someone else who rode away on Saturday.

It seems that I have to find an excuse to tell my parents that the bicycle was stolen. It's not lying, probably.

Xia Jing arrived at the supermarket.

The old and historic storefronts have not changed their depressed and deserted appearance. There are only a few cars parked in the oversized parking lot unique to the countryside, which makes people worry about the business situation for the boss.

Xia Jing walked through the automatic door of the store and took a shopping basket. At this time, there was a strange shadow, passing through the field of vision of Xia Jing, who was about to call up the SMS inbox on his mobile phone to reconfirm the shopping list.

"Huh?"

Xia Jing raised his head and looked in the direction that something didn't feel right.

“…… Wait a minute, hello. ”

The true appearance of the strange figure made Xia Jing speechless.

It's the Zephyr maid.

She wore an extra apron over her dark blue-purple plain hanfu and tied her lightly pigmented hair and draped it over her shoulders. Although his clothes were neat, only his face was extremely pale, and he had an abnormal appearance that made people not smell the slightest anger.

She was carrying a shopping basket in front of her and comparing all kinds of mixed dishes, which made Xia Jing wonder if her head was confused.

The aunt who passed by also stared at her back with the eyes of a suspicious person. It's not right to say "suspicious", 100% it's suspicious.

"Hey."

After a moment's hesitation, Xia Jing made up his mind to speak up and talk to the woman, I remember it was called Ana.

She looked back. The action makes you feel no breath or breath, like a rigid computer animation.

After meeting Xia Jing's eyes, she bowed her head slightly and said hello.

"Mr. Xia Jing."

"Why do you want to add honorific titles......

The women in hanfu aprons respectfully address high school students as "sir", a move that attracts the stinging eyes of other customers.

"The eldest lady instructed me to treat you like and treat you like a family."

"Ya her?"

Anai nodded.

"So what the hell are you doing?"

"Hamburg."

"What?"

"Today's dinner is a hamburger."

She began to say things that made Xia Jing unable to react.

"I'm not asking you about that ......"

"I want to put pineapples on top."

"With pineapple, it's a side door...... Alas, the point is not that. ”

Xia Jing couldn't help but interject and interfere with how to eat dinner at other people's homes.

"Summer view. Excuse me, what is the difference between the 395 yen and the 459 yen? Anai can't tell the difference. ”

She held the box in both hands, and the expressionless appearance of asking questions taught Xia Jing that she couldn't help but laugh.

"Let me see."

"Yes."

"Ahh The more expensive ones are better. ”

"Does it taste different?"

"Frankly, I don't think it's that bad...... Is a hamburger for Yaya? ”

"Miss, I like to eat, hamburger."

Make no mistake, that guy actually likes to eat such childish things.

"Just buy this." Xia Jing pointed to the cheaper price and recommended it to Ana.

"Well, this way."

"It's enough to buy something cheap. Why do you eat so luxuriously? ”

"I'll pass it on to the eldest lady."

“…… You don't have to tell her that kind of nonsense. ”

"Otherwise, I'll convey to the eldest lady that Mr. Xia Jing chose it. The eldest lady will definitely be happy to hear it. ”

“…… I don't have to tell her about that kind of fleshy thing. ”

It should be said that this is not the time to talk about such topics that make people smile.

Although the occasion is a little weird, it is undesirable for Xia Jing to meet Anai by chance.

"Ahh......h Miss Anai. ”

"Just call me Anai."

"Okay, Ana. I have something I want to ask you for. ”

"Yes."

After Anai put the meat in the shopping basket, Xia Jing asked, "Can you let me meet Ye Ya?" ”

"Okay. When do you want to, when do you choose? ”

Xia Jing thought that even if he was rejected, he would not be surprised, but he easily got the other party's nod and promise, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Is that okay? If it's convenient for you, do it today. ”

"Would you like to have dinner with, Miss? Mr. Xia Jing、Do you like to eat、Hamburger? ”

"You don't have to eat dinner together." Xia Jing replied with a wry smile.

Although it's hard for her to guess what she's thinking, she likes to take care of people.

"I have something I want to ask her. You can also contact us by phone. ”

"Lost House, no phone."

"In that case...... Excuse me, but let's meet at nine o'clock in the evening. It doesn't matter if I'm looking for her. ”

"I see. Where, then, should we meet? ”

"What's the parking lot like at this supermarket?"

"No problem."

After successfully making the agreement, Xia Jing was finally relieved.

In short, if you don't ask Ye Ya for the details of what happened that night, there will be no progress. Including the question of whether Anno was actually involved in that incident, Xia Jing just wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible.

"Then, I'll meet you at nine o'clock, and when the time comes, I'll come to the parking lot."

Anais, who stood still and had a blank face, made Xia Jingwan smile.

"Thank you...... Anyway, you're working really hard. ”

"Hard?"

"Ah, I mean you still have to take care of Yaya or something. The family has to be sent by the family like a servant, just like the style of the previous era...... Ah, but Ye Ya didn't seem to say that to Yasuno and Li Qi. ”

This is just a sentence that Xia Jing said unintentionally as usual.

But—Ana's answer made Xia Jing tilt his head in confusion.

"There is no master-servant relationship between the family and the family."

"Huh?"

"Divide the family and respect the family. I also show and pay respect. The decision about the family, the final decision, is in the hands of the family. The premise is that the unanimous consent of all members of the family must be obtained. ”

"But you ......"

"Anai, no, a member of the clan."

She said.

"Anai is a wooden girl."

The unfamiliar words made Xia Jing frown.

"What's that?"

"Actually, it's forbidden to reveal it to people outside of the clan."

Despite the verbal prohibition, Anai did not hesitate to continue.

"But Miss, there are instructions, all the things that Mr. Xia Jing asks about must be reported according to the truth...... Anai is, Wood Girl. It's the living dead like wood. ”

What the?

She said she was the living dead?

Is it the meaning of a living corpse? Or is it a dialect specific to a family that has other corresponding scripts? Mixed with uneasy questions, suddenly ready to move.

"The Wood Girl is a secret prop that has been passed down among the Deer Clan. It is a forbidden magic weapon created through disease. ”

Ana's face never changed.

No, it's expressionless.

There was no such thing as an expression on her face...... It's like a dead man.

"Anai is a dead man."

"What about you...... It's hard to ......"

Fear made Xia Jing tremble and asked.

"Anai, originally the same as Mr. Xia Jing. It's ordinary, human. ”

The sound was like a computer-simulated sound, and it sounded very inorganic intermittently.

- So to speak.
