Chapter Ninety-Eight: Paper Short Love Long (Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Night.
Shiori closed at half-past eight.
She said to the girl, "The sheets and bedding are all brand new, the air conditioning is adaptive, the temperature in the room is always 23 degrees, and there is food in the refrigerator...... You can live here with peace of mind......"
As she spoke, she looked at Xu Qiansu again, "Come to work at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
Then she waved her hand, threw out a Poké Ball, summoned a large eagle, and rode away handsomely.
The strong wind set off by the wave of the wings blew Xu Qiansu and the girl's hair.
The two of them withdrew their gaze from the back of the eagle, Xu Qiansu turned his head to look at her, and said, "Before Creselja wakes up, there are some questions that cannot be answered...... During this time, you can stay here. ”
"Anyway, you can provide me with a place to stay, thank you."
Xu Qiansu shook his head, squatted down, reached out and gently patted the little head of the six tails, "She will ask you." ”
"Woo~"
Xu Qiansu smiled and turned to leave.
After the girl saw Xu Qiansu leave, she stepped into the attic, walked into the bathroom, and after a simple wash, she was busy for a while before she looked at the six tails who were squatting next to her, tilted her head and thought about it, and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
"Huh?" Six Tails tilted his little face, then raised his eyes to stare at the girl.
This way of greeting is a bit blunt.
The girl was a little embarrassed by the six tails, so she looked around and proposed, "Sleep? ”
She doesn't know how to play with a smartphone and doesn't have anything she has to do...... It's okay at the moment, so it's natural to sleep.
Moreover, she has experienced so much today that she is physically and mentally exhausted...... I'm already exhausted.
"Whew." Six Tails nodded slightly.
The girl smiled, and she looked around the room a few more times before she found the light switch.
When I turned off the light, it was dark, and a little moonlight shone through the window on the tatami mats.
Call.
A few crimson sparks appeared around the six tails, lighting the way forward for the girl.
The girl looked surprised, she couldn't imagine that the six tails could do such a thing, she smiled and said thank you, then took off the knitted sweater, revealing snow-white skin, her fingers lightly tapped her chin, and wondered if she should ask Xu Qiansu to buy her a pajama tomorrow?
She shook her head slightly, this kind of thing is really embarrassing, let's ask Shiori...... But she and Shiori are not very familiar with each other.
The girl thought about it in distress, and finally felt that she didn't need pajamas anymore.
She covered the futon, patted her side again, and said to Rokuo, "You sleep here, okay?" ”
Six Tails jumped lightly and fell down on the soft bed.
The girl smiled, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a few moments.
But the six tails didn't sleep, she silently looked at the girl's face.
After falling asleep, the girl was in a blur, but a picture seemed to appear in front of her.
The vast room, the strong smell of medicine, the unconscious Creselia and the black-haired girl kneeling in front of the bronze mirror...... This was her original room.
The girl was like a bystander, looking into the room from the perspective of a third person.
Really...... Swapped bodies.
Liliai's consciousness was in my original body at the moment.
The girl looked at her face, and this thought came to her mind.
Lilia looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her face confused, but when she noticed the unconscious Cresalia, she quickly stood up and trotted to Cresalia's side, but just this action made her cough incessantly, and even fell to the ground because she could not adapt to the sudden illness and weakness...... Fortunately, the tatami mats were softer, so there were no injuries.
She struggled to get up, her supple black hair defying gravity and hanging down in front of her face.
"Whose body is this...... Why, is this happening? Lilia choked up in a voice that was about to burst into tears, "I just want to go to the Xicui area to rescue him...... Why is this happening......"
I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...... The girl wanted to speak, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only say it silently in her heart.
Lilia is aggrieved, sad, and confused, but she is a strong person.
So after a little while, she got up from the ground and slowly approached Creselia to check her condition.
The girl looked intently at Lilia, but the next moment it was dark and changed to a different picture.
Lilia sat on the bed and heard the whispers of several handmaidens outside the door.
"Last night the security was so tight, it seems that a demonic beast broke into the mansion."
"Huh!? I'll just tell you how those guards carry swords and swords, and they are in a hurry......"
"Damn the beast."
The voice came from far and near, and it was to bring toiletries and breakfast to Liliai.
Lilia was stunned for a moment, and realized that the people outside seemed to be quite unfriendly to Pokémon, so she quickly crawled out of the bedding, holding Creselia in both hands, and tried to hide her.
But how could Elilia's body at this moment be able to hold Cresalia?
So Creselia hadn't moved much, and Lilia was coughing incessantly, even coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood.
Seeing the footsteps getting closer and closer, the girl couldn't help but get nervous for Liliai.
saw Lilia shouting directly, "Stand down!" ”
There were a few pops and a slightly frightened look from the maid directly outside the door, "Miss? ”
Lilia breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that the owner of this body saw that the status was very high, so she hurriedly said, "I'm in a bad mood today, and I don't want to see anyone...... Just leave breakfast outside. ”
"Yes."
When the footsteps of the maid faded away, Lilia's tense body slowly relaxed.
She looked around to find an empty cupboard and pushed the unconscious Creselia onto the futon with difficulty.
Smack.
The magical tablet fell from Creseria's body.
Lilia was slightly stunned, she naturally recognized the magic slate, "Is this your thing...... You're also a superpower, so I hope the magical tablet can heal you. ”
She placed the magical tablet in Cresalia's arms, and then pulled the futon and slowly moved it to the cupboard, step by step.
By the time Creselia had been hidden, Lilia was already sweating profusely and her face was pale.
Then the picture turned again, and it came to night.
The room was dark, and Lilia sat alone on the bed, clasped on her knees, and bowed her head.
She is in ancient times, there is no Xu Qiansu here, there is no Ma Li, poetry and weaving...... There is nothing here.
Lilia could only stay alone in the room, and she was not allowed to go out.
First, the physical condition is not good;
Second, in this era, a noble lady of her status cannot easily show her head.
The girl felt a little sad, this kind of daily life that she was already strange to herself must be unbearable for Liliai......
Just look at the comparison, Liliai's original life, there was Xu Qiansu who cared about her and Pokémon to accompany her.
And what about the girl?
She has nothing but her mother, only a sick and weak body and a life span of less than half a year.
In the blink of an eye, the girl woke up.
But I saw that it was already dark outside the window, the chirping of some bird Pokémon came and went, the central air conditioner continued to spit out cold air, adjusting the indoor temperature, the bed under him was soft and comfortable, and there was no strong medicinal smell in the room, only a sweet taste unique to the coffee shop and the fragrance of the girl.
The picture I saw just now was like a slightly clear dream...... Intermittently, but with a sense of reality.
While I watched Lilia's experience, Lilia also saw my experience yesterday, right?
I could have endured the darkness...... If I don't see the light.
The girl thought of this sentence inexplicably.
The girl opened her beautiful eyes, but she felt a warm moistness from the corners of her eyes.
She turned her head to look, but it was Six Tails sticking out his little tongue and licking the corners of her eyes.
"Woo~" Seeing that the girl woke up, the six tails pressed their feet on the bed, pressed their bodies down, stretched their waists, and then called softly.
"Good morning, Six Tails." The girl smiled softly, sat up, went to the bathroom to wash, opened the window for ventilation, and then pulled out a pen and paper from the attic.
If Lilia could really see what she was going through, she should be able to see what she's doing at the moment...... However, the picture you see is intermittent, and you may not see it.
It doesn't matter, once you're done, just keep it in your hand from time to time.
"This ...... That's how it should be used, right? She looked up and down with a gel pen, opened the cap to reveal the nib, and drew a simple circle on the back of her snow-white hand.
"No need to dip in ink...... In the future, it's amazing. The girl was a little surprised.
She knelt down at the small table and spread out the notebook she had found.
Six Tails jumped lightly on the small table, tilting his head to look at her.
The girl thought for a moment, then wrote.
"Jiu Mu Fangfan, not kissing Meiyu."
"Hello, Lilia, I'm the one who swapped bodies with you."
"I am a man who lived two thousand years ago."
"I'm sorry for taking your life."
"Although I want to go to the future and escape from reality, it is not what I want to see to realize my dream by taking away your happiness."
The girl paused for a moment before continuing.
"In the future, hopefully we can find a way to restore everything together."
"According to Xu Qiansu, all doubts will not be known until Creselia wakes up."
"So I can only bother you to stay there a little longer."
"I'm sorry again for that."
"I've been sick since I was a child, so I shouldn't exercise vigorously."
"You need to drink medicine every day, and it doesn't matter if you don't know how to prepare it."
"Every three days, a female doctor diagnoses my body, counts the time, and she will come over this afternoon, and then you can ask her."
"She's a gentle woman, and no matter what questions you ask, she's not suspicious and asks more."
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, you just need to take care of your body now, make yourself as comfortable as possible, if there is anything, tell the maids outside the door, they will handle it for you."
"And you guessed it right, in my time, there was a lot of hostility towards Pokémon, and I hope you can hide Creselia, otherwise she will definitely be killed by her father."
"Finally, I'm sorry again."
"I'll talk about that for now, and look forward to your reply."
"In the hot summer, I hope to protect myself."
After writing, the girl put down her pen.
The early summer morning breeze blew through the window, brushing the girl's blonde hair and brand new paper.
The girl reached out to smooth the paper, then picked up the notebook and read it carefully a few times before putting it down, tilting her head to Rokuo and saying, "I'll prepare breakfast." ”
With that, she stood up on her knees, stepped up the stairs, and descended the attic.
Six Tails withdrew his gaze from her back, tilting his head to look at the letter she had just written.
"Are you going to Shiori today?" Gadelia yawned lazily and opened her eyes tiredly to look at Xu Qiansu.
"After all, I promised her." Xu Qiansu put on a white shirt, buttoned it up, and said.
"You don't seem to be in a good mood?" Gadelia looked at Xu Qiansu, but suddenly asked.
Xu Qiansu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked back, and asked curiously, "Why do you say that?" ”
"Feeling." Gadelia stretched out her snow-white forearm from the futon, pillowed it on her face, raised her eyes to look at Xu Qiansu, and said.
"What?" Xu Qiansu smiled, sat on the bed, and said, "I'll come back early today...... It's about six o'clock. ”
Gadelia frowned, still thinking that she came back too late, "Can't you go?" ”
"You can't release other pigeons."
"Commitment or me, who matters?"
"You're important."
"Then don't go."
"But I promised you before that I would make you happy...... So commitment is also indispensable. ”
"I'm very happy that you can stay with me like this." Gardelia frowned.
Xu Qiansu couldn't help laughing, "Me too,"
……
At half past eight, Xu Qiansu left Gadelia's room and saw Marley sitting on the sofa in the living room, silently drinking black tea.
Seeing Xu Qiansu, she turned her head to look at it, and a smile appeared between her eyebrows, and asked, "Have you hidden it from Jiadelia?" ”
"I just didn't mention it to her." Xu Qiansu sat next to Ma Li and leaned on the sofa.
"A lie is a lie." Ma Li sneered, "When Gadelia knows about this, that person will not end well." ”
"Miss Marly, my smile is too cold, may I ask if I offended you in any way?"
"Yesterday you tried to hide it from me, so now I can empathize with Cordelia." Ma Li snorted coldly, but then glanced at Xu Qiansu with a smile and asked, "Did you figure out anything?" ”
Xu Qiansu looked at Ma Li's smiling light green eyes...... What Marley meant was to ask her for help.
Xu Qiansu said, "Before Creselia wakes up, there is no conclusion, so let her live peacefully here for a while at this moment." ”
"Huh?" Ma Lixing's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she said, "This ......"
As she spoke, she stood up, stretched out her hand to straighten her hair, looked back at Xu Qiansu and said, "Let's go." ”
"You're going to a coffee shop too?"
"Since this matter is difficult to solve for a while, it is time to prepare daily necessities for her...... Pajamas, extra clothes, do you have to buy your own underwear? ”
Xu Qiansu clapped his hands down, "I forgot about it, but fortunately there is Miss Ma Li." ”
"You can't live without me, but that's not all." Ma Li looked back at Xu Qiansu and smiled shallowly and confidently.
The two left the villa and went to the mall, bought a set of white pajamas, and bought four sets of regular clothes for the girl, and finally came to the women's underwear store.
As a man, it is not appropriate to go to this kind of place alone in any way, but it doesn't matter if Miss Mary is by his side.
Walking into the underwear store, the service staff came to entertain warmly.
She subconsciously looked at Miss Ma Li, was stunned a little, and secretly said in her heart, do you want to take this young lady to the children's area?
But this is obviously unspeakable.
At the second glance, she saw Xu Qiansu standing next to Ma Li, and she was stunned again, thinking that this beautiful boy actually likes this petite and cute type?
But it's a good match...... Talented and beautiful.
Ma Li obviously didn't have a mind reading technique in the face of others, so she naturally didn't know what she was thinking, and she was not interested in knowing what she was thinking...... So she looked around a few times before walking to a shelf that was clearly a small cup area.
Then she thought of something, and she looked at Xu Qiansu coldly, "Go out." ”
"What's wrong?"
"It wasn't bought for Gardelia." "You want to know what kind of underwear Lilia wears?" ”
Because Marly didn't know the girl's name, she directly used 'Liliai' as a substitute.
Xu Qiansu silently turned around and left the underwear store and stood outside the door.
Pedestrians coming and going in the mall looked curiously at Xu Qiansu who was standing at the door of the underwear store.
After waiting for a while, Xu Qiansu suddenly thought that Miss Ma Li didn't know Liliai's size, so how did she choose underwear?
Buy one that's one size smaller than yourself?
Who is older and who is smaller, Miss Mary or Lilia?
Miss Marly's size, Xu Qiansu has a bottom in her heart, but Lilia ...... He'd never seen it before.
Maybe Lilia is older than Miss Mary?
Bang.
There was a pounding sensation from his waist.
He looked back, and Ma Li silently withdrew her little hand carrying the shopping bag, "What are you thinking?" ”
"Thinking about when humanity will be able to leave this planet and go to the vast sea of stars."
"Your vine snake isn't from Meteor Falls? When she evolves into a rift seat, you'll be able to leave the planet. ”
"Miss Marly's level of joking needs to be improved."
"Shut up."
"Yes......"
He took the girl's regular clothes, and Marley took the girl's pajamas and underwear, and the two left the mall, got on the tram, and came to iS.
It's already 9:20 a.m.
Ma Li glanced at the magnolia and violet planted by Xu Qiansu at the door, but found that they had been watered.
The two looked at each other, "She should have poured it." ”
Who is she? It can't be Shiori anyway.
Xu Qiansu pushed open the glass door.
Ding Ding Ding.
The bell is ringing.
"Don't you have a sense of time? Arrived a full twenty minutes late. Shiori sat at the front desk and complained dissatisfied.
"There are no customers at the coffee shop anyway."
"Nonsense." Shiori's apricot eyes suddenly widened, and she glared at Xu Qiansu angrily, "There were guests yesterday." ”
Xu Qiansu recalled the eyes of the two women yesterday and felt that the two of them should have visited the coffee shop as a cowherd shop.
Ma Li walked in behind Xu Qiansu.
"Oh? Marley also came. Shiori blinked and smiled, but asked, "Do you want to help Xu Qiansu?" ”
The subtext is that she hopes that Marley can come over and help her run the coffee shop...... That is, I fell in love with the craft of making coffee from Mary.
Marley didn't say much, but simply raised the shopping bag in her hand and asked, "What about Lilia?" ”
"Make desserts in the back, puffs today." Poetry is the color of the road.
Xu Qiansu took the shopping bag from Ma Li's hand, went to the attic, put it down, and then went downstairs into the bar and said, "Yesterday's rag rolls were not sold out." ”
As he spoke, he pushed open the door of the baking room and said to the girl, "Now that there are no guests, don't make puffs...... It's good to sell yesterday's rag rolls. ”
"How can you give a guest what was left over from yesterday?" Shiori was stunned, and then dissatisfied.
"The rag rolls are refrigerated in the fridge for a day and it tastes even better." Xu Qiansu looked back and said.
"Really?"
"Really."
Shiori took a piece out of the refrigerator and tasted it, "That's it, it's not unpleasant, but it's not delicious." ”
If you taste it with the small mouth that Shiori is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, I am afraid that most of the food can only come up with an 'average' evaluation.
So Xu Qiansu no longer paid attention to Shiori, but looked back at the girl and said, "Come out and rest, don't be so busy." ”
"I still like this, after all, before, I never had the physical strength to make anything......" The girl shook her head slightly, and then she was stunned, thinking that Xu Qiansu should be concerned about Liliai's body, not her.
She pursed her lips, had to put down her work, washed her hands, and then picked up the notebook she put aside, crossed Xu Qiansu, and left the baking room.
"Whew." Six-tails jumped into Xu Qiansu's arms, looked up at him, and screamed softly.
Xu Qiansu patted her little head lightly, and then turned to look.
But after seeing the girl cross Xu Qiansu, she walked a few steps forward, but after a pause, she walked back quickly, walked in front of Xu Qiansu, and said in a low voice, "I, I dreamed of Liliai last night." ”
Xu Qiansu was stunned, "Tell me in detail." ”
So the girl walked into the baking room again, and Xu Qiansu also went in with her.
Shiori turned her head to stare at the door of the baking room, her mouth opened slightly, and she thought to herself, Xu Qiansu, is this guy not even acting now?
Marie is still here.
Shiori quietly looked sideways at Marly.
saw Ma Li push the door expressionlessly and entered.
Shiori swallowed a mouthful of saliva and wanted to go in, but she didn't dare to ...... Why don't you install a few monitors?
Shiori thought and listened with a pricked ear...... But alas, after a while, no quarrel was heard.
"It's weird......" she muttered quietly.
Ding Ding Ding.
The bell rings.
Shiori looked back, but it was the two girls from last night.
At the same time, they also brought two friends with them.
At this moment, the four of them were looking curiously at the coffee shop, and they didn't see Xu Qiansu's figure, so they couldn't help whispering, and one of them stepped forward and asked curiously, "Excuse me, that ...... yesterday"
As he spoke, Xu Qiansu walked out of the baking room, saw that some guests were slightly stunned, and then walked to the bar, "What do you order?" ”
"Four cups of cappuccino...... Thank you. ”
As soon as Xu Qiansu came out, the other three girls suddenly screamed quietly, gathered together, and laughed at each other fiercely...... The woman who asked about Xu Qiansu's whereabouts blushed, looked at Xu Qiansu, and squirmed.
"We're running an event in our store where you can get two free rag rolls per person...... May I ask if you are packing or ...... here" Before Xu Qiansu's voice fell, the woman hurriedly said, "Don't pack, don't pack." ”
"Okay." Xu Qiansu nodded slightly, but turned back and knocked on the door of the baking room, "Miss Marly, four cups of cappuccino." ”
"You don't even know how to use a coffee machine?" Ma Li walked out, squinted at Xu Qiansu, and said in a helpless tone.
"Kamen Rider Joan of Arc has a good saying, once you accept your weakness, then I am invincible."
Marie ignored him either, walked over to him, and silently made coffee.
Xu Qiansu silently moved out of the way.
The four women who came to admire looked at the two.
Shiori seemed to hear four heartbroken sounds.
The girl also came out of the roasting room, and saw that Marley was making coffee, so she approached and looked curiously, watching and learning.
Xu Qiansu and Shiori have become idlers.
Shiori said to Xu Qiansu, "You only have 29% of the remaining shares, I think it's better to give 20% of the shares to Ma Li." ”
Great, in the iS coffee shop, Xu Qiansu still has a 9% stake.
————————
In the character column, Xu Qiansu's popularity is lower than Liliai's (unbelievable)
