I'm surrounded by women.

If one day I find out that you have changed your mind, I will burn this dress, return the money to you, and make sure you never see me wearing this dress again!

So, Yuan Ying, can you promise me that you will never change your heart towards me..."

As she spoke, Shoko Toyokawa's voice became softer and softer. Although her voice was soft, Gen Sakura still heard it because the two of them were very close.

But facing Toyokawa Shoko's last words, even though Katori Gensakura had heard clearly what Shoko said, she still pretended not to hear anything and said to the store clerk:

"I remember your clothing store gives away a daily storage bag when you buy a piece of clothing. Does our order have one? If not, I'm going to bargain hard."

"..."

The shop assistant was speechless. She'd heard everything Toyokawa Shoko had just said to Gen Ying, not just Gen Ying herself! But facing those words that sounded like demands for a promise, Gen Ying had actually pretended not to hear?!

"This Yuan Ying, although not very old, is a very skilled scumbag! I think she and this blue-haired girl will have to break up and get back together a few times sooner or later!"

The shop assistant complained in her heart, but as a person who was destined to get commission, she quickly reacted and realized that Yuan Ying wanted to use her to change the subject, so she had to transform herself into a qualified topic changer at this moment!

"Of course, of course. You bought one, and that includes a storage bag for daily use. I'll put it in the bag for you later."

Quietly, what is a gold medal clerk?

This is called a gold medal clerk!

Even though Katori Genzakura bought two identical white floral dresses, because Toyokawa Shoko was present, the salesgirl cooperated with Katori Genzakura and lied to her, saying that Katori Genzakura bought only one. She also took the opportunity to start a conversation with Katori Genzakura so that Katori Genzakura would not have to respond to Toyokawa Shoko's promise of "never changing your heart" in the short term.

While the clerk was issuing the bill, Katori Genzakura said to her calmly, "If you can talk more in the future, I think you can become the manager of this store in less than two years."

This clothing store is a brand authorized store, and both the clerks and the store manager are hired by the head office.

"Then I'll borrow your good wishes." The shop assistant smiled like a flower. Although she knew that Katori Genzakura was several years younger than her, she still subconsciously used honorifics in front of Genzakura.

When leaving the clothing store, Katori Genzakura also felt Toyokawa Shoko's little emotion at the moment, perhaps because she had not made the promise to Toyokawa Shoko that she would "never change her mind".

Because there is no way to respond... Katori Genzakura gave a helpless smile.

She was very clear that her current relationship with Toyokawa Shoko was still a relationship of lovers and close friends, and Toyokawa Shoko wanted to turn their relationship into a complete and true lover relationship.

Katori Genzakura knew it better than anyone else, but precisely because she knew it so clearly, Katori Genzakura pretended not to hear and did not respond.

——Boyle's law.

Even though Katori Gensakura's science grades were very poor, she still remembered Boyle's law very clearly.

At a fixed temperature, volume is inversely proportional to pressure. This is called Boyle's law.

Because this law was taught to me by Bai Cangjian in my previous life...

……

"Sister Jian, could you help me think about this practical assignment?"

After returning home from school, Katori Genzakura, or rather Kurosawa Sakura, habitually came to Bai Cangjian's house. As usual, Bai Cangjian looked at the time on the clock and noticed that Genzakura had finished school, so he went into the kitchen to cook.

By the time Yuan Ying came back, dinner was almost ready.

"What homework?"

Bai Cangjian asked with a gentle smile. In Katori Genying's impression, Bai Cangjian always had a gentle smile on his lips, which made Katori Genying feel very relaxed every time she stayed with Bai Cangjian, just like a daughter staying with her mother.

Children always like to confide their little emotions to their parents, and Katori Genzakura confided them to Bai Cangjian.

It turned out that during the first chemistry class today, in order to arouse students' interest in chemistry, the chemistry teacher asked students to try to preview chemistry on their own in the first class, and then randomly selected a few students to talk about the chemistry knowledge points marked by the teacher in the next class.

The chemistry teacher who just took charge of this class obviously had not heard of Kurosawa Sakura's reputation for science. He took the class list and the first one he chose was Kurosawa Sakura. Then he asked Kurosawa Sakura to go to the podium during class tomorrow afternoon and explain to the classmates and teacher what Boyle's law is?

Just like that, Katori Gensakura had one more question that she didn't have to write, but she would rather write her chemistry homework... After all, if she wrote it, she could then use something like Homework Helper to take a photo and search for the questions.

After listening to Katori Genying's mumbling, Bai Cangjian also understood why Genying was in such a bad mood. She sat down on the chair, thought seriously for a long time, and then explained to Genying:

"In water, the deeper you go, the stronger the 'pressure'... the downward force. Therefore, the 'volume'... the size of a bubble, gets smaller the deeper it goes. The reason it gets larger as it goes up is because the pressure decreases. Under constant pressure and constant temperature, the volume of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. This is called Boyle's law."

After that, in order to allow Katori Genzakura to better explain it to the students in class tomorrow, Bai Cangjian gave an example:

"Suppose we have six skewers. If we divide them between two people, each person will have three. But if we add one more person and divide the six skewers between three people, each person will only have two. And so on and so forth, we end up with six people sharing six skewers, so each person will only have one. When one side increases, the other side decreases, which is what's called an inverse proportion."

It's amazing that Katori Gensakura, who has never been good at science, actually understood it after listening to Bai Cangjian's explanation.

Is it because I used food as an example?

In any case, Bai Cangjian's few words made Katori Genying understand what Boyle's law was.

In Katori Genzakura's opinion, people who are good at science are all very powerful, so she asked with sparkling eyes:

"Sister Jian, are you good at science? That's amazing!"

But facing Katori Genying's praise, Bai Cangjian was stunned for a moment, then rubbed Genying's little face with a complicated expression, and said as if he had something on his mind:

“No, actually… I’ve never taken any chemistry classes, because I dropped out of school and left my hometown before finishing my first year of junior high school. My education level is only elementary school.

The reason why I can tell you about Boyle's law is because there was a person who was very important to me. She told me this law and explained it to me.

Because she holds such a very important place in my heart, I have firmly remembered the Boyle's Law she taught me."

Chapter 168 Goto Family's Spare Key

The important person mentioned by Bai Cangjian immediately attracted the attention of Katori Genying.

At that time, Yuan Ying was secretly in love with Bai Cangjian, so she was particularly concerned about what Bai Cangjian said. Although she was very concerned in her heart, she pretended not to care and asked casually:

"Jian, Sister Jian, who is that important person you're talking about?"

After saying that, Katori Genying also put down the chopsticks in her hand. The food cooked by Bai Cangjian was delicious, but sometimes she would make mistakes and not taste good, just like a female student who had just started learning to cook. But no matter whether it tasted good or not, Katori Genying had never put down her chopsticks when eating food cooked by Bai Cangjian before.

This was the first time that Yuan Ying put down her chopsticks while eating.

Facing Katori Genying's question, Bai Cangjian didn't rush to answer. Instead, she silently looked at Katori Genying for a while, the expression on her pretty face becoming more and more complicated, as if she was saying in silent language: "In the end, do they still have to meet?"

Bai Cangjian was silent for a moment, but the expression on her pretty face quickly recovered. She said to Katori Genying, "She... is a very pitiful person."

A very pitiful person?

Bai Cangjian's words not only failed to answer Katori Genying's doubts, but instead made her doubts even stronger and aroused her curiosity.

Or maybe it's... a little jealous.

Yuan Ying wanted to find out as soon as possible who this person who was very important to Bai Cangjian was, what he looked like, what his name was, and what the relationship between him and Bai Cangjian was.

Katori Genying wanted to ask more about the 'important person' that Bai Cangjian mentioned, but Bai Cangjian suddenly said:

"Ah! I suddenly remembered that there's pork rib soup still stewing in the pot. Sakura, you eat first. I'll go see if the pork rib soup is ready."

After saying that, Bai Cangjian stood up and went to the kitchen. From dinner time until she returned home, Katori Genying did not find another chance to ask Bai Cangjian who the important person she was talking about was.

However, the Boyle's law that Bai Cangjian explained to her on that day was deeply engraved in Katori Genying's mind, even in this life.

Rather, when Toyokawa Shoko asked her to promise to "never change her mind" just now, Katori Gensakura's first thought was not how to respond, but the "Boyle's Law" emerged in her mind.

Katori Gensakura feels that the relationship between herself and Toyokawa Shoko can perhaps be described by Boyle's law.

The relationship between Katori Genzakura and Toyokawa Shoko is like a bubble in the law. If Toyokawa Shoko continues to put pressure on Katori Genzakura, then this bubble will only get smaller and smaller. In the end, it is very likely to be so small that it will disappear directly.

If one side increases, the other side will definitely decrease.

Before finding out whether her aunt was the culprit who caused Xiangzi's family to go bankrupt, Katori Gensakura did not dare to let her relationship with Xiangzi take another step forward, so she always remained restrained in this relationship.

She had already made preparations for the worst. If the culprit who caused Xiangzi's family to go bankrupt was really Katori Kyozuki, Xiangzi would not be too sad when she and Xiangzi separated.

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko feeling unhappy because she didn't get her promise, Katori Genzakura thought for a while, and finally, when they were about to reach the station, she suddenly said to Toyokawa Shoko:

"Xiangzi, this skirt looks really good on you. If I hadn't brought much money today, I would have bought one for myself too. Then we can wear it together. Wouldn't it be like we're wearing couple outfits?"

Katori Gensakura doesn't think she is a scumbag. The reason she speaks like this is because she read too many yuri novels in her previous life.

However, Katori Gensakura still underestimated the extent of the damage her words would cause to Toyokawa Shoko.

Before she finished speaking, the little emotion in Toyokawa Xiangzi's heart disappeared instantly. Not only that, Xiangzi also felt that her cheeks were gradually getting hot. Within a few breaths, her cheeks were so hot that it seemed as if they could boil water.

Seeing that the effect was good, Katori Genzakura chose to pursue the victory.

"Why, are you so anxious to wear couple outfits with me?"

"No, no way!" Shoko Toyokawa spat with a red face. The three words "couple outfit" made her heart beat faster and faster.

"This is the first time I've seen Xiangzi so shy..."

Katori Genzakura said nothing, but she was quite pleased with herself. It's a shame I don't have my phone with me right now, or I'd really like to take a picture of it and use it as my phone wallpaper.

"I can use this photo of Xiangzi blushing as my wallpaper for the rest of my life!" Katori Genzakura shouted in her heart.

……

After leaving the station and parting with Toyokawa Shoko, Katori Genzakura returned home. After opening the door with her key, she found that her father, mother and sister were not at home.

Katori Gensakura was not surprised either. When she was chatting with her sister just now, she learned that her parents took her to a funeral that started suddenly.

Katori Genzakura was supposed to go with them, but unfortunately Genzakura was not at home at that time, so they had to take Liuge with them.

After returning to her bedroom, Katori Gensakura sat in a chair and took a breath. To be honest, before she went to see Xiangzi today, she had not expected that today's date would be so thrilling.

The Shura Field almost broke out several times.

Fortunately, everything was fine in the end!

"I'm so awesome." Katori Genzakura chuckled with some complacency.

After resting for a while, Katori Gensakura took out the small iron box that Izumi Kotomi gave her in the cinema and placed it on the desk.

It was already an incredible thing that she could meet the head of the Izumi family, Izumi Kotomi, today. What made Katori Genzakura even more unexpected was that she would actually receive something related to the white cocoon from Izumi Kotomi.

Katori Gensakura really wanted to see what was inside the small iron box as soon as possible. She had also tried shaking the small iron box before, trying to judge what was inside by the sound.

After shaking it a few times, a sound was indeed heard, but it was obvious that Katori Gensakura overestimated her ability to judge the sound of objects. She couldn't hear what was inside...

Katori Genzakura tried to pull the lock on the small iron box again. The lock didn't look very expensive, so why was it so strong?

Logically speaking, a lock like this can basically be forced open by just pulling it once and then shaking it a few times. It is a way to protect against gentlemen but not villains.

In order to find out what's inside the small iron box, Katori Genzakura doesn't mind being a villain herself.

But... this lock is so strong that it doesn't even give me a chance to be a villain!

"When Sister Jian left this tin box for me, I was probably still very young, maybe even not yet born. During the years when I often went to her house for meals, she didn't seem to give me anything that looked like a key. So how on earth am I supposed to open this little tin box?"

Katori Gensakura scratched her hair in annoyance. She was not very good at science, so she was not good at the various puzzle-solving parts when playing games.

For example, when it comes to the classic fuse-finding segment in horror games, Katori Gensakura gives up using her brain and directly opens her phone to check the strategy.

However, most of the time, Katori Gensakura doesn't even read the guide. If she really likes a horror game, she will buy it on Steam and search for the live commentary guide directly on video sites like YouTube without downloading it.

Katori Gensakura folded her hands and looked at the small iron box on the table. She recalled in her mind the words that Izumi Kotomi had said to her.

"I remember Qin Hai said, don't worry about how to open this box now. When all factors happen to arrive at the right time, I will naturally be able to open this box..."

It sounds like that, but can I really trust Izumi Kotohae completely? Even though she is the real head of the Izumi family, has lived for so many years, experienced so many things, and is friends with Sister Jian, this does not necessarily mean that what Kotohae says is completely correct.

Thinking carefully, during the time I was chatting with Qin Hai, I always felt something was wrong. Qin Hai had no ill will towards me, but I had an inexplicable feeling that she was hiding something from me.

After muttering to herself until this point, Katori Genzakura sighed again and said in a somewhat helpless tone:

"It would be nice if I could talk to Qin Hai more. I feel like it's useless for me to be scheming in front of Qin Hai. She has lived for so many years, she must be more shrewd than a fox. Even if I have lived two lives as a human, with all the scheming and cunning I possess, I'm probably just like a dishonest child in front of her."

Katori Genzakura pondered over the small iron box for a long time, but couldn't figure out how to open it after thinking for a long time.

Although more physical means can be used, such as using pliers directly!

But just as this thought came to her mind, a warning suddenly sounded in her mind: "Don't use pliers! Izumi Kotomi has manipulated the lock on this box a little bit. If you try to force it open, the entire box and everything inside will be destroyed!"

???

!!!

Katori Gensakura suddenly jumped up from her chair and looked around nervously. She knew very well that she had just heard a little girl's voice, but now there was no one else at home except herself?!

"Oh no! Is my house haunted? No... I'm a coward. I only buy horror games, never play them. If this storyline really goes from a romantic comedy to a terrifying urban legend, I'd rather be stuck in a bloodbath, a bloodbath, and a bloodbath!"

The nervous Katori Gensakura thought to herself, and it was as if the other party had the ability to read minds. The little girl's laughter sounded in Katori Gensakura's mind again.

"Hee hee~"

Katori Genzakura quickly looked out the window in the direction the sound might have come from. The moment she looked out the window—

Katori Genzakura was stunned.

She suddenly began to wonder if the whole world had gone crazy.

Why was there a red panda sitting on the balcony railing outside my window, holding a bitten iPhone?!
