Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

According to Riki and Hongxia's assumptions, the worst-case scenario might be that Aine failed to retrieve the light before the bus driver and Kasumi-senpai arrived, and then they would have to go to the martial arts hall separately. All in all, it would only delay them by about an hour, meaning they would have less time to practice.

As the animal keeper and the designated "big mom" for the problem school, respectively, Riki and Hongxia had already prepared for this and even thought of a way to take the doctor's scolding on Aine and Deng's behalf...

However, things are unpredictable. Who could have thought that Aine not only brought back the lantern within the specified time, but also brought back the four starving ghosts of the Thorn Group, exceeding the task four times?

Li Xi looked at the small but heavy thermal box with some concern. Inside was neatly stacked the hamburger feast brought by Kasumi-senpai. A rough count showed there were about ten servings. Some of the sweet and thick sauce overflowed and stuck to the inner wall of the thermal box.

By the way, Kasumi-senpai always rewards those who help her with hamburger meat. Where does she get all those delicious foods?

But this is not important. What is important is that Deng is back... Although he doesn't want to pay attention to me, and although he is unwilling to talk to me, he always glances at me secretly with ill intentions, and his usually stupid eyes are now flashing with a cunning light.

He has amazing wisdom, and it feels like something is going to happen.

"Ahem... Deng, I'm sorry."

Li Xi thought that he should apologize first no matter what, so he blushed and bowed seriously and sincerely in front of Deng who was eating his dinner in small bites. The latter pretended not to understand, but in fact he couldn't fool Li Xi's eyes at all.

It seems that Deng is not angry for the time being... That's great. As long as Deng can forgive me, I will do anything.

"sorry?"

You little penguin are still pretending. Aiyin, who witnessed the transformation of Dengxinlu from beginning to end, turned her head away speechlessly. God only then knew how many people would be deceived by Tomorin and work for Saki-chan for the rest of their lives.

I asked Hongxia to take a look at the contract. The terms are indeed very generous. There is a guaranteed income of 200,000 yen every month, and a 2% dividend for future activities. It is also a relatively flexible two-year contract. It does not look like the conditions offered by capitalists to the proletariat. It is more like Xiangzi is trying to lure everyone with his greed.

But...sigh.

Aiyin sighed and put the contract, which she had already signed, back into the file box. She looked worried about the future of herself and her lifelong friends.

What will our mygo become...

"Nijiya, Aine-san looks like the wife of a wealthy family."

Liangmian fed Hongxia a mouthful of the chopped broccoli with an expressionless face. It was not because he didn't like it that he used the excuse of filial piety to get rid of it for Hongxia.

"After all, she herself didn't really want to sign the contract. She was completely forced by Deng and didn't want to upset Deng, so she couldn't sign it."

Shaking her head with a sigh, Aine, as the first victim of the Ambition Lamp, was already beginning to worry about her future as a servant of the Toyokawa family. Only God knew who would be next...

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be Li Xi, so there is no rush to take the file box back and find a chance to return it to Mr. Fengchuan, the old man who wears a suit and tie but does not do any official work every day. He comes to Fanxing at 2 o'clock in the afternoon to drink wine and listen to rock music.

Who would have thought that the old man who seemed to be doing nothing was actually the helmsman of the Toyokawa Group, which controlled one-third of Japan's economic society? When Hongxia thought about how he was always scolded away with disdain by Xiangzi who came to practice with the doctor, she became even more unable to hold back.

"Hongxia, what are you laughing at?"

Aine glanced at him with a slightly unhappy look. He rarely saw Aine with such a serious expression, so he just had to hold his tongue and sit up straight.

"Nothing... anything happy to think of."

Everyone ate and drank their fill, but Deng still didn't say a word to Lixi. This usually stern and strict girl suddenly felt extremely guilty. She stood behind Deng, sweating profusely, waiting for the lead singer's call to serve her at any moment...

There is absolutely no need for that. The lamp is just a little bit clumsy and has a little bit of radio frequency connection, but it can still do things like eating by itself. We can't let the lamp wait to be fed with a spoon like a noble young master, right?

It doesn’t matter what happens. Li Xi’s mind is getting more and more confused. It doesn’t matter what happens, even if it’s just scolding himself. Deng, please talk to me quickly!

"Lixi."

"Um...here!"

Li Xi definitely knew that Deng must have some tricks up his sleeve, but if it weren't for his completely unreasonable angry words, Deng would definitely not become so unfamiliar to him, so no matter what Deng wanted to do to him, as long as he could continue to stay by Deng's side, he would do anything.

"Lixi, why do you say that?"

Was it such a blast right from the start? This opening move from Deng was too unexpected, wasn't it?

Aiyin wanted to think about it, but she still kept her mouth shut. She didn't mind how Riki behaved, as long as he didn't let Riki imitate Deng's story and run away so that she couldn't chase him. She was full now and couldn't run at all, so whoever wanted to chase him could do so.

"I...I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to say that. I shouldn't have let you make that choice!"

Although Deng spoke very aggressively, judging from her expression, she did not seem to be ready to openly break up her golden marriage with Li Xi. Instead, she seemed to be giving Li Xi a chance to explain. The queen's style of combining kindness and severity, and all thunder and rain were blessings from heaven, was really rare.

It’s hard to tell when the doctor told Deng something that she shouldn’t hear or learn at her age... but it was unexpectedly useful.

"Can we continue to be together?"

It was a threat before, but now it was a sweet treat for Li Xi. The drumming girl naturally lowered her head and admitted her mistake. Her beautiful eyes looked at Queen Deng's face very firmly, as if she was about to kiss her.

"Of course, we'll play in a band together forever!"

"What about the doctor?"

Riki barely hesitated, or perhaps it was because Aine had already prepared herself and gone over in her head what she was going to say before bringing the lamp back. In short, she gave her answer with a blush.

"That's fine! Whether it's the doctor or Xiangzi, we can all be friends for life!"

As for the few people in the Ci Tuan who were silently making dinner, they scratched their heads and thought, what does it have to do with me? We don’t know when we will be back in Kawasaki. If conditions permit, we can also kidnap the doctor back. Anyway, it will only take an hour or two by train to get to Tokyo.

"Then...sign that."

The truth is revealed, but even if Deng Yan doesn't act anymore, Li Xi can only sign the indenture contract given by the Toyokawa family. Anyway, if they really want to be exploited, the deadline will only be two years, so it doesn't matter if everyone works for the Toyokawa family for two years.

But Riki also showed a somewhat lonely expression like Aine. He was probably worried about the rest of his life after handing his life and career over to Xiangzi.
