Chapter [-] [Mr. Tree]

From the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the entire Xuanwu Lake.

This place with an excellent location is a five-star hotel in Jinling City.

The most expensive luxury suite has an excellent location and view—of course, the price is also "excellent" in terms of per capita income in 2002.

Beside the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, three girls were lying on three reclining chairs.

Nivier was in the middle, and Li Yingwan and another young girl with short hair and big breasts were lying on the left and right.

The faces of the three girls were covered with a mass of green and black matter, covering their faces.

"Do you think this thing can really make the skin better?"

"Nonsense, this is the best beauty product in South Korea, African Seaweed Essence!" Li Yingwan retorted disdainfully, because her face was covered with these things, so she didn't dare to open her mouth when she spoke, and her voice was slurred.

"But I'm Caucasian, and my skin is already very white." Nivier tried to resist.

"But your skin is a little rougher than our Asians-although you are considered to have good skin among Caucasians. But... racial advantage, understand? It doesn't matter if you are young now, wait a few days Within a year, your pores will become thicker, and when your skin is exposed to the sun for a while, red spots will appear."

Li Yingwan didn't let go of every opportunity, and spared no effort to hit Nivier's self-confidence.

Nivier took a deep breath, and after being silent for a while, she found a way to fight back.

"People who call puppy husband have no right to laugh at me."

"People who kiss themselves in front of the mirror are not entitled to such a sense of superiority!"

Seeing that the two girls were about to quarrel, finally, the short-haired girl on the third deck chair couldn't help but speak timidly.

"Well... can you stop arguing?"

The third girl is Xiao Yu.

Zhu Dazhi's girlfriend, the one who runs a wedding photo studio in Jinling City.

As for why Xiaoyu joined this small circle, the reason is actually very simple.

After some encounters in the "memory world" back then, Xiao Yu was entrusted by the trio to find a trio in the real world when she returned to the real world.

then……

Let's say that.

If you learned the most shameful and embarrassing secrets of these guys.

Or you will be killed and silenced.

If you don't want to die, you have to join.

Well, girl Xiao Yu is a girl who knows current affairs very well.

"Hmph, PABO!"

Li Yingwan snorted coldly.

Nivier immediately raised her eyebrows: "Don't think that I don't know that you are scolding me if you speak South Korean."

The door was opened, and Kaoru Saijo, who was wearing a JK-style school uniform, walked in, and glanced at Xiao Yu who was looking for help.

Kaoru Xicheng thought about it, walked over to pull up Xiaoyu, and went to the bathroom.

"Let them solve it by themselves. It's really impossible to fight. The one who loses can shut up for a whole day."

Pulling Xiaoyu to the sink in the bathroom, Xicheng Kaoru looked at Xiaoyu for a while, sighed and shook his head: "Let's wash off these things on your face."

Under Xicheng Kaoru's scrutiny, Xiao Yu quickly washed her face clean, and then was dragged out of the house by Xicheng Kaoru.

After walking out of the hotel, Xiao Yu was dragged obediently by Xi Chengxun, and the two walked across the road to an open-air restaurant by the lake.

This kind of dining bar is a mixture of Chinese and Western styles, with beer, BBQ - and of course Chinese barbecue.

In the evening, business has picked up.

The arrival of two young and good-looking girls naturally attracted the attention of many diners—but most of them just looked at it.

After sitting down and ordering something to eat and drink, Xicheng Kaoru picked up a bottle of beer, easily opened the bottle cap with his thumb, and handed it to Xiao Yu.

"Actually, I'm not very good at... okay." Xiao Yu nodded resignedly, ended up with a beer bottle, and poured himself a small glass.

In fact, in the trio, the person Xiao Yu fears the most is this Saijo Kaoru.

Li Yingwan just likes to bluff.

And Nivier is actually very easy to deal with.

On the contrary, it was this neon girl named Xi Chengxun, who occasionally showed a calm and indifferent taste in the eyes, which made Xiao Yu feel a little palpitating.

Maybe Li Yingwan likes to bluff the most, maybe Nivier has the most aura.

But this Xi Chengxun, who doesn't talk much, and even has a pleasant face most of the time, makes Xiao Yu feel that he is the scariest one in the trio!
"Actually... I really won't tell anyone your secret—including Zhu Dazhi! I can swear!"

After drinking half a glass of wine, Xiao Yu brought up this topic again.

Kaoru Xicheng's expression was very relaxed: "I'm not really worried about this matter."

"Uh?"

"Because I know you won't say it." Xicheng Kaoru has already opened a second bottle of beer - she drinks like a river, she doesn't even use a glass, she just drinks bottles, tons of tons, and one bottle is empty up.

"Huh? Are you sure I won't say it? That's good..." Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Kaoru Xicheng showed her teeth and smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter if you say it."

"……Um?"

"It's a big deal to kill people and silence them. It's not a difficult thing to kill everyone who knows."

My neck feels a little cold after the light rain!
kill...?

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xiao Yu always feels that when this girl named Xi Chengxun talks about the word "killing", she doesn't seem to be bragging.

"Have you dated Dazhi recently?"

"Um……"

"What do you guys go on a date with?"

"Well... just go shopping, eat, watch a movie or something..."

"anything else?"

"...Well, I occasionally go to the gym to watch him boxing."

"Oh, then you and him..."

Kaoru Xicheng wanted to ask something else, but Xiao Yu spoke first, knowingly.

"I haven't seen Chen Nuo recently, and Dazhi didn't mention Chen Nuo to me."

"........."

Xi Chengxun fell silent, and then silently picked up a wine bottle.

"Yujiang." Xi Chengxun suddenly laughed: "It's a pleasure meeting you. In Jinling City, meeting a friend like you is an unexpected gain."

Xiao Yu was stunned: "Why do you say such things suddenly..."

"Because of me, I'm going back to Tokyo."

Xiao Yu silently looked at Kaoru Xicheng - the girl's eyes, the girl's facial expression were all calm.

After a long time, Xiao Yu couldn't help but asked, "Have you... given up?"

Kaoru Nishijo raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Yu quickly shrank back a bit: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask you this kind of question."

"It's okay to ask." Xi Chengxun whispered: "Give up...?"

The kendo girl looked up at the sky.

The sun has been completely invisible, and on the other side of the sky, the outline of the moon has been seen for the first time.

"Give up... I don't know."

·
In fact, I really don't know.

After coming out of Jinling City in the "memory world", Xiao Yu came to visit and told those shameful secrets.

Of course, those secrets were just to prove her credibility.

It was what Kaoru Saijo said that really shocked Xicheng Kaoru.

Own……

With Chen Nuo, with Axiu...

Maybe there is a bond that I don't know about?

last life?
parallel world?

The other self?

So, Axiu has always been kind to herself, and went to Tokyo to save herself... everything...

Was it all Axiu's plan to redeem herself?

Oh, not just myself.

Li Yingwan, Nivier, are they all like this?

Long before I knew Axiu... Axiu, I knew another self.

Kaoru Xicheng was keenly aware of several potential messages from Xiaoyu's visit and what he said.

Maybe it was the previous life, maybe it was the self in another life... In short, that self has also been in love with Chen Nuo for many years.

but!

No results!

The other self... To be precise, it was another trio, and in another life, they all looked like this.

Moreover, they have accompanied Chen Nuo for many years and contributed more to Chen Nuo.

Still, to no avail!
That conversation was scary and humbling...

But, more than that, it was shocking!

These days, Xi Chengxun has thought a lot, and she also knows that Li Yingwan and Nivier must have thought a lot.

It's just that those two girls are still bickering on the surface, and they probably have their own decisions and ideas in their hearts.

Xicheng Kaoru knew Chen Nuo very well - at least she thought so.

Ever since Chen Nuo brought back the Starry Sky Queen, since Chen Nuo had a daughter...

Chen Nuo is pulling away the relationship with the trio.

He used this silent approach to show his attitude.

He even stayed away from Sun Keke.

Although in the same city.

But now, I don't even have the chance to meet Chen Nuo.He doesn't even go to school anymore.

·
"I'll be back in Tokyo in three days." Saijo Kaoru said seriously, "So, Yu-chan, let's treat today as my farewell dinner with you."

"...Ah, um, um, let me treat you today."

Xiao Yu hurriedly took out her wallet.

The wallet is very delicate, and it looks like there are a lot of banknotes in it.

Xi Chengxun was not polite to Xiao Yu - this girl's family is quite rich, and she also has a lot of pocket money.

"As a friend, I actually envy you very much. There is a wonderful relationship between you and Dazhi-kun, and Dazhi-kun also likes you very much—it's really enviable!"

When Xicheng Kaoru finished drinking the third bottle of beer, his eyes were already a little drunk.

"So, after you return to Tokyo, do you plan to go back to study?" Xiao Yu felt a little pity for the neon girl in front of her.

"Study? No." Xicheng Kaoru was very clear: "People like me have taken the initiative not to live their lives like ordinary people.

A capable person is a capable person, and it is impossible to live the life of an ordinary person.Studying, working part-time... These things are destined to be farther and farther away from me.

So... I'm probably going to look for a direction. "

"direction?"

"Well, I can't be a lover...but maybe I can be a lifelong companion." Xi Chengxun muttered.

It's just that she said this sentence very clearly, but Xiao Yu didn't hear it clearly.

"My current strength is still too weak.

I'm so weak that I don't even have the qualifications to stand by his side and fight side by side with him.

Whether it was in Tokyo before, or later in that strange world space of Jinling City.According to what you said, in that experience, we were not a positive combat force, and we could only do some diversion tasks to the greatest extent.

And even that is barely.

I've been thinking...she's so powerful...that's why she's qualified to stand by his side.

Axiu, he didn't come from a mortal. If I were just a mortal, then in this life, I would only drift away from him. "

Xiao Yu's eyes widened.

Mortal?
Not a mortal?

this?What does she want to do?
As if understanding the doubt in Xiaoyu's eyes, Kaoru Xicheng smiled.

"I want to be someone who can be his partner—a powerful partner that he can rely on. Not the kind that can only become a drag on him once something happens."

Xiao Yu pursed her lips hard.

this girl...

I have read too many Japanese comics!
Where did such an idea come from?

After thinking about it, the sense of justice in her heart couldn't be restrained after all, Xiao Yu took a deep breath: "Maybe my words are a bit redundant, but I think..."

Suddenly, before she could finish speaking, Xi Chengxun's eyes changed, and he reached out and grabbed Xiao Yu's hand, pressing it hard.

"Hush! Look!"

The two girls looked at the edge of the open-air dining bar at the same time...

·
Wearing a sweater and ponytail, Yunyin stood outside the dining bar with her hands in her trouser pockets.

Chen Nuo followed behind with a helpless expression.

Seeing that Yunyin finally stopped, Chen Nuo sighed.

"I've been walking for 97 minutes, is that enough?"

Yunyin looked up at the sky, then turned to look at Chen Nuo: "I'm hungry."

"Ok?"

"hungry."

Yunyin said, pointing to the barbecue grill on the side of the road.

"Then eat some, I have money." Chen Nuo said in a relaxed tone.

"Isn't it time to release the wind?" Yun Yin's tone was mocking.

Chen Nuo hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Well, what I did before was really unfair to you. You are not a prisoner, and there is no need for me to imprison you.

So start today, as long as you don't make trouble.I won't limit your freedom too much.

Is it a deal? "

Yunyin glanced at Chen Nuo, ignored his proposal, walked slowly into the area of ​​the open-air dining bar, found an empty table, and sat down.

Chen Nuo smiled wryly, and sat down with him.

·
"It's Chen Nuo...and...that girl..."

"Sun Keke." Xi Chengxun smiled wryly: "Besides the big devil, the girl who is closest to his heart."

Xiao Yu looked disapproving, and said two words silently.

Scumbag!

Xicheng Kaoru didn't care about Xiao Yu's complaints - she might have noticed it, but she didn't show anything.

It's just that all of his attention was placed on secretly observing Chen Nuo and Sun Keke who were in the distance.

Kaoru Saijo had a curious expression on his face.

Chen Nuo...how did he get together with Sun Keke again?
I heard that he has kept his distance from Sun Keke now.

so?
Really a scumbag? !

But soon, Xicheng Kaoru's eyes changed!
·
Over there, right next to Chen Nuo's table, a table of diners probably got up to pay the bill and left after eating. One of the male diners, who probably drank a few more drinks, staggered a bit when he got up and walked by. It was about to touch Sun Keke's back.

Under Xi Chengxun's gaze, "Sun Keke" didn't look back, but seemed to be very keenly aware of it.

Although she was sitting without moving her buttocks, she moved her feet half a step to the left, turned her body slightly, and then lightly pressed the table with her left hand.

The whole person moved silently for a distance of less than half a meter.

The drunk diner just happened to pass by without touching her!

Xicheng Kaoru's eyes suddenly revealed a little light!
·
This is definitely not something Sun Ke could do!
The tiny move just now had very little power to mobilize.

But... the sharpness of this response, the sophistication of this manipulation of power.

It's definitely not possible for Sun Ke to do it!
Sophisticated, quick to respond, without trace, naturally, silently...

If Kaoru Saijo uses herself as a reference for comparison...

Only a person with rich combat experience can make such an exquisite reaction in that instant!
Sun Keke?
That weak girl, even if she was given the strength of a destroyer, she didn't have the awareness!

Kaoru Xicheng's eyes widened in an instant!
then……

"The quality is pretty good, right?"

Beside her, a voice softly fell into Xicheng Kaoru's ears.

Xicheng Kaoru just subconsciously wanted to answer, but immediately, her whole body froze!
This voice is not Xiaoyu!
Xicheng Kaoru's whole body was stiff, and it took a full second for the strength to return to her body.

She twisted her neck little by little, and turned her head little by little.

And at this time, Xiao Yu exclaimed: "Ah!! You!!!"

Right next to the table of the two girls, on an empty stool, at some point, a man had already sat down.

It looks like a middle-aged person in his 40s.

A Chinese face.

Xicheng Kaoru felt like a cat whose hair was blowing all over her body. After finally suppressing the strong sense of oppression in her heart and making her breathing a little bit smoother, she immediately moved away and pinched it. Xiao Yu's hand.

And Xiao Yu, staring at this person's face, became more and more frightened!

"Little girl, I haven't seen you for a while."

After the middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Yu, he moved his eyes away and landed on Xi Chengxun's face: "You too, I haven't seen you for a while."

Xicheng Kaoru used great perseverance to forcibly suppress the fluctuation of his own power - as if sitting next to this man, his body carried an invisible force field, allowing his own power to flow, even being suppressed. involuntarily fluctuate.

Even the frequency of breathing seems to have been changed.

"Sorry, I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want to scare you." The middle-aged man smiled: "However, I have to set up an invisible force field so that the kid over there can't find me.

And you were in my force field just now. "

The middle-aged man thought for a while, smiled, and patted Xi Chengxun on the shoulder: "Now... feel better?"

"……call!!"

After Xicheng Kaoru exhaled forcefully, he finally felt that his breathing was much smoother.

Xiao Yu was almost dumbfounded, staring at the middle-aged man in front of him: "You you you you..."

"Don't be so afraid, I'm not here to trouble you."

The middle-aged man smiled, but his eyes fell on Chen Nuo and Yun Yin not far away.

He picked up a bottle of wine on the table, opened it, and took a sip.

Still staring at the distance, he said in a low voice: "Actually, I don't like to travel too far—it's very troublesome to run so far.

But, I have to come. "

As he said that, a hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged man.

"It would be weird for you, right?

It stands to reason that I only have one Chosen One in this world, and I know exactly how I made her my Chosen One...

But the problem is...

Now, suddenly there was another chosen one.

Her breath, her power fluctuations, all have a deep bond with me at the life level!
But I just don't know this girl.

Just say, isn't it weird? "

As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze from looking at Chen Nuo, and glanced at Xi Chengxun.

"Son, why do you look at me so strangely?
We just met not so long ago.

But the way you look at me now is like seeing me for the first time. "

Xi Chengxun didn't speak, but secretly looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's face was pale: "He, he... At that time, I listened to Chen Nuo and the others. They all, all, called him, called him... what, fourth, fourth what..."

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Well, you can call me Electric General... You can call me Ke Luo...Of course, these two are fake names, fake identities. I don't like these two names very much myself.

Of course, what did Chen Nuo call me?Fourth seed?The name is also ugly.

Why don't you call me...Mr. Tree.

Yes, tree.

This is my first name. "
