Chapter 72 She'S Too Good
"Sister Kurenai, what are you doing here?" Li Xia was taken aback. He didn't expect Komachi Kurenai to appear at school, let alone care about his team project, is the Special Affairs Bureau really that idle?
"The captain wants to see you." Komachi Kurenai pointed to the black car parked in the distance. Kirigiri Shimizu's iconic white hair was too eye-catching. Apparently, she didn't want to attract too much attention.
"..." Li Xia had a strange expression. He didn't know who had been distributing flyers at school last week, causing him to be in a semi-dead state. Why didn't he see her being low-key back then?
He complained inwardly, but still got into the car obediently because Kirigiri Shimizu had a blade in her hand, and it was very sharp.
"What theme do you plan to shoot for this team project?" Kirigiri Shimizu was still wearing a black suit. Her voice had no fluctuations and was very cold, showing no emotions.
"Um, I haven't thought about it yet." Li Xia scratched his head. He really didn't know at this moment. It was just a normal team project. Why would this esteemed god take the initiative to ask about it?
"What help do you need?" Kirigiri Shimizu asked directly, seemingly unenthusiastic.
"I plan to join someone else's team and see their script," Li Xia decided to be honest. "I'm not sure yet."
"My child cannot join someone else's team," Kirigiri Shimizu's voice was cold. She didn't know if completing the mission in first place would be considered a success by the system, but it definitely wouldn't have a high completion rate. So the safest thing to do, of course, was to focus on Li Xia and film it that way. After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Li Xia, her gaze fixed: "I believe you can take first place."
"No, I..." Li Xia was still confused and wanted to express the idea of being a slacker, but when his eyes fell on the long blade in Kirigiri Shimizu's hand, he decided not to say anything from the bottom of his heart.
Komachi Kurenai sat in the driver's seat, seeing Li Xia's pitiful appearance, and thought about how she herself was also so submissive in front of the captain. She started to empathize and couldn't help but comfort: "Don't worry, little Xia, we'll all help you."
"Alright, I understand. I will try my best to get it the first time." Li Xia nodded, resisting but not daring to resist, and could only figure out a way to complete the task given by Kirigiri Shimizu.
They also don't take their work seriously all day long, so, what can he do about them, an ordinary college student?
"Well, good boy." Kirigiri Shimizu had a cold expression and reached out to touch Li Xia's head, saying, "Mom believes that you can do it."
Li Xia was already immune to Kirigiri Shimizu's cold expression and the dissonant words she spoke, so he obediently nodded.
Komachi Kurenai's heart was broken, leaving behind the empathy from earlier. Both of them were submissive, but he was the future husband of the captain, while she was just a tool, a clown.
After Kirigiri Shimizu finished assigning the task, she left by car.
Li Xia went to have lunch alone and met Mizuki Akane standing at the entrance of the cafeteria. She was wearing a uniform similar to a high school student today, with a short skirt and a pair of opaque black stockings underneath. She was wearing small boots and had a particularly pure smile, like a cute high school student who got lost in college.
"Li Jun, I made a bento for you~" Akane ran over with the bento box in her hands, her expression eager for praise.
It was lunchtime, and many students were coming in and out of the cafeteria. When they saw the pure and lovely Akane, they looked at Li Xia with envy. Having such a well-behaved girlfriend who prepared a bento for him was truly enviable.
"Ah..." Li Xia sighed. He really couldn't resist Akane. Even though she was a ghoul, she managed to navigate human interactions quite well. Akane didn't harass him, she only appeared in front of him at key moments, making it difficult for him to refuse.
Of course, the most important reason was that he couldn't beat Akane.
"Eat more~ I love this dish." Akane put a tempting piece of braised pork into Li Xia's bowl. "This is a Yan Nation dish I learned yesterday. Want to taste if it suits your taste?"
"Thank you." Li Xia shook his head and picked up the piece of braised pork. Yesterday, he treated Katsura Manami to Yan Nation cuisine, but when Akane came halfway through the meal, Katsura Manami left. At that time, the braised pork on the table was the most eaten dish.
He doesn’t know if Akane noticed this detail and discovered that he might like to eat braised pork, or it was just a coincidence.
But making Yan Nation dishes for him overnight, aside from the fact that she herself could cook Yan Nation dishes, she must have tried many times to achieve this level.
Although Li Xia had a deep prejudice against Akane, seeing such a lovely girl putting in so much effort, he couldn't help but be a little moved, of course, this had nothing to do with love.
After all, there's no love without reason in this world. Akane was so attentive to him, naturally, she wanted something from him.
"This is pork," Akane smiled and opened her mouth, revealing her small tiger teeth, pointing to her throat with her finger. "In the past, ghouls hunted humans for meat, but it's not necessary to eat humans. For example, Akane has never eaten a person. Apart from only eating meat, she's no different from humans."
"Um," Li Xia nodded and ate by himself, not wanting to interact much with Akane. This ghoul was too skillful, and it was easy to be led by her.
Akane didn't mind Li Xia's indifference at all, and she chattered on by herself, not needing him to agree to continue the conversation.
Li Xia agrees with a sound, and she will be happy for a long time.
"Li Xia?" A voice sounded behind Li Xia.
Li Xia turned around and saw Kiyoura Mai, who was holding a tray, standing behind him and smiling at Li Xia.
"What a coincidence." Li Xia nodded. This cheerful blond girl gave him a good impression, even though he rejects her invitaion, she was still very polite.
"Is this Senior Akane?" Kiyoura Mai also sat down familiarly next to the two of them, looking at Akane with a surprised expression. "I have heard the seniors in the club talk about you a lot. You're the visual representative of the Literature Club, and many newcomers were attracted to join because of your photos this year."
"Really? Akane is very happy~" Akane seemed very happy and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, Akane has already quit the Literature Club because of work. They are really mean, using Akane's photos to deceive people."
Li Xia looked at the harmonious atmosphere between the two of them and always felt like he didn't fit in. Maybe he should leave.
"Li Xia, are you dating Senior Akane?" Kiyoura Mai turned to Li Xia and suddenly asked.
Li Xia was momentarily taken aback by this question. Why was Kiyoura Mai concerned about his relationship with Akane? And why did the way she asked it feel so much like seeing the boy she secretly admired with another girl?
"Not at all," Akane replied ahead of time, looking at Li Xia with eyes that portrayed the longing of a young girl admiring someone, her eyes filled only with emotion. "I'm pursuing Li, but unfortunately, he hasn't agreed yet."
