What?! My anime figures have all come true!

Inside the mall on the other side.

Although Chen Xiao noticed the gazes around him, he didn't pay much attention to them.

After all, Ijichi Hoshika comes from the world of anime and manga. Even if she's not the most beautiful in the setting, she'd still be considered a great beauty in reality.

Just like the dollar and other currencies, one dollar can only buy some cheap items in the West, but it can be exchanged for seven times in other countries!

Of course, in reality, you earn Knife Joy and spend it, unless you have a magic portal that allows you to earn Knife Joy in the morning and teleport back to China to spend it at night.

Meanwhile, a classmate who was observing from a distance opened a video call with Ding Jiafang, which allowed him to see Ichiji Hoshika holding hands with Chen Xiao in the distance.

"Wow...they look so alike!"

Although the image was somewhat blurry, Ding Jiafang could still immediately tell the resemblance between Ijichi Seika and Ijichi Nijika.

"I guess they're like older sisters?"

Ding Jiafang thought to himself.

As for whether it could be Hongxia's mother...

Ding Jiafang thought it was impossible.

In reality, how could there be such young and beautiful mothers? No matter how young they look, there will still be traces after they turn 40.

Of course, if that's really the case, and Chen Xiao has won over this "mom," then they really will have to all go out and fight Chen Xiao!

It's worth noting that Ding Jiafang had previously witnessed Chen Xiao's ambiguous interactions with four girls at a comic convention. A little speculation would lead one to believe that Chen Xiao's relationship with these beautiful girls...

This is no longer an ordinary crime! We must take immediate and severe action!

Ok?

You asked Ding Jiafang why he didn't speculate whether these beautiful girls were being mentally controlled by Chen Xiao?

In fact, Ding Jiafang did consider this possibility when the comic convention ended.

But he soon realized that Gao Chen's transformation into "Emperor Hui of Jin" had nothing to do with Chen Xiao, and he couldn't imagine Chen Xiao using his mind control abilities, so he stopped doubting it.

Little Jack: Hmm~! (Proudly puffs out his chest)

"So what should I do now? Just keep following Chen Xiao like this?"

At this moment, the classmate quietly asked Ding Jiafang, who was deep in thought.

"...Let's follow them and see what Chen Xiao is going to buy for that person. That way, we can better determine the relationship between the two of them."

Ding Jiafang was silent for a moment, then answered in a low voice.

"I see."

The student nodded, then stood up from his seat and looked up in Chen Xiao's direction.

"Luo Cheng? Hey, isn't this Little Luo?"

However, the moment he stood up, Chen Xiao caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye.

Thanks to his physical abilities, which have been slowly improving every day since he awakened his superpowers, his five senses can now clearly detect Luo Cheng's sudden unusual movements in the distance.

"Don't call me a mule or a horse!"

That student instinctively retorted.

It's clearly the kind of habit that's already formed.

Then he realized that Chen Xiao had caught him red-handed.

"Ah... Chen, Chen Xiao, what a coincidence! Are you here to buy something too?"

Luo Cheng instinctively hid his phone behind his back.

"Yes, did you bring my friend to buy some musical instruments today?"

Chen Xiao smiled and then pointed to his hand hidden behind his back.

"And stop hiding it! Who were you video chatting with just now? Was it Jiafang, right?"

"what……"

Luo Cheng stood there stunned for a moment, unsure whether to take his hand out or continue to hide it.

"Let me guess, your next question will be: How did you know?"

Seeing Luo Cheng's tense expression, Chen Xiao grinned.

"How did you know?!"

As it turned out, Luo Cheng actually said the same thing.

This wasn't Chen Xiao using superpowers; it was simply a matter of applying psychology.

Well, I learned it from that old man who, despite his advanced age, had an affair with a woman from Yingzhou, giving his grandson an uncle younger than himself.

"Xiao, stop teasing him."

At this moment, Ding Jiafang spoke through Luo Cheng's phone.

Seeing Chen Xiao's nonchalant attitude, he realized he must have been wrong. If this blonde beauty really was Chen Xiao's girlfriend, he would have kept her hidden like before, or even run away on the spot.

Why would I take the initiative to talk to them?

Clearly, Ding Jiafang's impression of Chen Xiao's reaction to her "having a partner" is still the same nagging version she heard in the coffee shop.

Little did they know that his self-confidence was now overflowing.

As long as Lin Qi doesn't suddenly come over and try to emotionally manipulate him, he's always been indifferent to everyone!

Then Chen Xiao heard from Luo Cheng that he had revealed to Lin Qi that he "had a girlfriend".

"As for Ronaldinho... I'm feeling utterly heartbroken right now, and that grief is gradually turning into murderous intent!"

Chen Xiao raised his hand and pinched Luo Cheng's shoulder, his ambiguous smile making Luo Cheng and Ding Jiafang on the other end of the video call break out in a cold sweat.

"Don't worry! Xiao, the class monitor might not believe it, after all, it's something that's just a rumor..."

Luo Cheng quickly explained.

"Whether she believes it or not is her business! Little Mule, Jiafang, you two are the ones who tricked me this time!"

The two remained silent upon hearing this.

"Childhood sweethearts are such a hassle, Xiao."

Having overheard the conversation between the three, Iji Tomoka couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't worry, I've already prepared myself mentally."

Although Lin Qi was Chen Xiao's regret in his previous life, it wasn't the kind of person he was determined to marry. The reason he brought his father to confront her in this life was simply because he didn't want her to fall into the abyss like she did in his previous life.

After completing this step, whether the two of them will end up together in the future is entirely up to fate.

Unfortunately, fate did not seem to favor Lin Qi.

Chen Xiao already has his heart set on the figurines of girls.

So the problem was never with Chen Xiao, but with Lin Qi.

Chen Xiao is waiting for her to make a decision.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately distanced himself from Lin Qi while in college.

"Oh, class monitor, class monitor..."

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, both Luo Cheng and Ding Jiafang couldn't help but feel sorry for Lin Qi.

"Ahem! Xiao Luo, don't worry about Lin Qi, you should worry about yourself instead!"

When the topic suddenly turned to him, Luo Cheng felt a chill run down his spine. He then looked at his phone and found that Ding Jiafang had already turned off the video call!

Luo Cheng: How can you be so selfish! Bah!

Helpless, he could only put away his phone and bend over to let Chen Xiao do as he pleased.

"How can I help you with this?"

Chen Xiao frowned slightly upon hearing this and 'scolded' him:

"Don't act like a waiter."

Then he took Ichiji Hoshika and Luo Cheng to the music store.

"Here, you carry all these things."

Chen Xiao pointed to the two guitar cases and one bass case in front of him and said.

Luo Cheng's expression froze instantly.

If drawn in an anime style, his expression right now would be even more abstract than Guernica's.

"Ready to work!"
