Chapter 24 Unexpected
"This is my home, feel free to choose, I'll sleep on the floor," Li Xia finally brought Fujino home, although it was to save her, but with her chest all swollen, he couldn't find the words to refuse.
After moving out from his aunt Asakawa Aki's place, he rented a small single room near the University of Tokyo, around ten square meters. The room was small, only enough for a bed and a small square table.
There was a bathroom, but no kitchen, so Li Xia usually ate boxed meals at his workplace. The only advantage here was the cheap rent, and the convenient subway transportation downstairs.
"Okay," Fujino nodded and bowed 90 degrees to Li Xia, "then I'll trouble you for these few days."
"Senior, no need to be polite," Li Xia turned his head, usually she always had a silly and sweet look, and she didn't mind moving into his home at all.
From his perspective, he could see right into Fujino's open collar, clear as day. After just a short day, he had already seen it many times, so he was no longer embarrassed as he was at the beginning.
On the other hand, Fujino seemed accustomed to being seen by Li Xia and naturally placed her small backpack on the ground. She stuck out her tongue and said, "I'll go take a shower first."
Li Xia watched Fujino enter the bathroom, and soon the sound of rushing water could be heard from inside. In this small room of about ten square meters, one couldn't expect the soundproofing to be very good. Often, one could still hear the sound of the neighboring university students studying late at night.
Li Xia took out the handgun from his pocket and held it in his hand, making a few aiming motions. According to Kirigiri Shimizu's instructions, the gun license would be delivered tomorrow, and he was also required to practice his marksmanship so that he could have some self-defense abilities. Li Xia fully agreed with this. With his human body, he had no ability to resist those monsters he encountered these past two days.
After a few attempts, Li Xia put the handgun away and looked towards the bathroom door. Fujino was not the type of beauty that one would consider breathtaking at first sight. Instead, she had a slightly chubby face that became more charming the more you looked at it. She belonged to the cute type.
Usually, she also had a natural airhead demeanor, looking like someone easily deceived. She also had at least an E cup size, the kind of character often seen in adult anime.
However, Li Xia knew that Fujino must be hiding something from him, which might be the reason why she insisted on staying by his side. But he didn't feel comfortable asking, and the two of them maintained a basic understanding.
Not long after, the sound of running water in the bathroom stopped, and Fujino walked out barefoot. She was only wearing a pure white T-shirt that reached just below her thighs, revealing her big white legs that were not slender but had a somewhat plump feeling. From a visual perspective, it looked like she wasn't wearing anything underneath, giving off a strange sensation. She held a towel in her hand, drying her hair while steam continued to emanate from her body.
Seeing Li Xia sitting on the bed, she smiled and said, "Sorry, I took a long time to shower."
"It's okay," Li Xia quickly turned his head away. The two prominent points under her T-shirt were too obvious, and even considering their current relationship, it still felt a bit awkward.
They chatted about some ordinary topics, mostly about school anecdotes. Fujino still seemed a bit silly, but after experiencing today's events, it was abnormal for her to remain so calm. Perhaps it was because she had a big heart.
Li Xia spread a blanket on the floor, and there were no scenes like in those adult animations where Fujino would ask him to sleep on the bed together and things would escalate. They spent the night peacefully like this.
The next day, Li Xia was awakened by Fujino. She sat cross-legged on the bed, stretching lazily, not caring at all that her underwear was clearly visible when her T-shirt rode up.
The relationship between the two of them is strange now. It should have been a normal friendship, but for some reason, it suddenly became a state of no defense.
After having breakfast together and dropping Fujino off at school, Li Xia called Chen Huijie and arranged to meet at the coffee shop outside the school.
"Can you help me check the ingredients of this?" Li Xia took out a plastic bag from her pocket, containing meat taken from Fujino's refrigerator.
"Sure," Chen Huijie took it and examined it for a while, frowning. "What kind of meat is this?"
"I don't know," Li Xia waved her hand. She couldn't just say she suspected it was human flesh.
"You haven't noticed anything?" Chen Huijie's observation skills were very keen, and she immediately noticed Li Xia's unusual expression.
"Yeah..." Li Xia hesitated for a moment but decided to tell Chen Huijie some things. Her identity could be very helpful to him.
So, after organizing his thoughts for a moment, he finally spoke: "Have you ever encountered... um, supernatural things?"
"..." Chen Huijie first examined him, with a strange expression as he spoke: "Like Taoist zombies?"
"Something similar, I guess." Li Xia made a gesture. "Like monsters that eat people."
At this moment, a female waitress approached from the side, holding a plate of steak. "Sir, here's the steak you ordered."
"Sorry, I didn't order steak." Li Xia waved his hand.
"Are you serious?" Chen Huijie furrowed his brows. "Or do you have any evidence?"
"It's difficult to explain." Li Xia shook his head. "After all, these things don't just randomly appear out of nowhere."
At that moment, a lazy voice sounded from behind him. "Sister ordered the steak for you, don't you like it?"
Li Xia froze, he was too familiar with this voice. It was Yagami Tsubame; at this moment, she was dressed in office lady attire, looking mature and sexy.
"Why are you trembling?" Yagami Tsubame seemed to be enjoying his frightened appearance, she lowered her head and leaned close to her ear. "My little puppy, what are you chatting about? Would you mind if sister joined?"
Chen Huijie sat across from them, looking at the two of them, tilting her head, with an indescribable expression. What a little scoundrel.
"Don't be nervous, sister just has a few questions for you," Yagami Tsubame said, taking a seat next to them, chin resting on one hand, with a seductive gaze fixed on Li Xia, completely ignoring his friend Chen Huijie. Clearly, in her eyes, these humans were all food and she didn't need to care. She stared at Li Xia, asking, "What's your relationship with the white-haired woman from yesterday?"
"Well, we're not really close," Li Xia's voice trembled noticeably as he reached for the coffee on the table, but due to nervousness, his hand shook.
"I see," Yagami Tsubame's eyes narrowed, very satisfied with Li Xia's fearful appearance, still smiling seductively. "I hate children who lie, you know what the consequences will be?"
"I..." Li Xia's hand trembled even more severely. In the next second, his expression suddenly froze, and he swiftly splashed the coffee in Yagami Tsubame's eyes, simultaneously pulling out a handgun with his other hand.
