When Chu Xiaotian returned to the room after blow-drying his hair, he saw Qianye sitting in front of the small table and looking at the mobile phone on the table in silence, as if he had something on his mind.
"What's wrong?"
"Ah? No, it's nothing!"
Chiba came back to her senses and showed a smile to the boy: "Are you feeling better? Then I'm going to take a shower."
"Um..."
When Qianye went to get clothes from her luggage bag, Chu Xiaotian sat there and looked at her, and finally spoke suddenly.
"Did Yoko tell you something?"
Before she went to take a shower, Chiba was talking to Yoko on the phone. Something must have happened to make her become a little weird.
It was precisely because of his sudden question that Qianye's body froze.
Is that really the case?
Chu Xiaotian asked: "What did Yangzi say to you?"
Qianye shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything."
"I'm not that stupid."
This sentence made Chiba fall silent.
Chu Xiaotian sat there cross-legged and said, "Isn't that idiot blaming us for not bringing her with us?"
After all, that Hoshimiya Yoko... is a runaway train now.
"It's not our fault."
"That?"
"Maybe I made her unhappy."
Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian was also stunned and asked in confusion: "Did you do something?"
Qianye lowered his head and murmured: "It's because I didn't do anything that she was unhappy."
"What's the meaning?"
Qianye said softly: "Yangzi is a very proud person. She backed down time and time again just to compete fairly with me, but I backed down again and again without taking any action, so she got angry."
Just when Chu Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat, the girl in front of him suddenly raised her head and looked at him, their eyes meeting each other.
The girl asked: "Do you know what I'm talking about?"
The young man nodded awkwardly.
He was probably talking about that.
"So, if it is Xiaoda, who will Xiaoda choose?"
This question made Chu Xiaotian's brain shut down for a moment. After a moment, he came to his senses but couldn't speak. He didn't know how to answer.
Chiba is now in an extremely weird state, as if something suppressed has suddenly burst out.
"What would Xiaoda choose?"
Chiba looked at the young man with somewhat hollow eyes.
Her questioning forced Chu Xiaotian to answer.
"I have no idea."
He didn't like those stories in which the male protagonist was torn between the two female protagonists, but he didn't know how difficult it was to choose until he faced such a thing.
It’s not like you choose one of them and fear that the other will be sad.
But they fundamentally don’t know how to make choices.
Maybe I never thought I would choose between them from the beginning.
I never thought I had a choice.
This is the source of the confusion.
If it really comes to the point where one party confesses, then he will have to make a choice.
After hearing the boy's answer, Chiba's eyes gradually came back to her senses. She looked at the troubled boy and her pretty face blushed slightly, apparently realizing that she had asked a question that would make her feel embarrassed.
"Sorry, I asked a difficult question for you."
"No, this may be something that should have been thought about long ago." Chu Xiaotian sighed.
Although he really didn't want to think about the answer to this question, it should be something he would have to face sooner or later.
Chiba hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the young man: "There is one thing, can I ask?"
Chu Xiaotian nodded slightly: "You can ask."
"Xiaotian, what are you planning to do with the soul-splitting technique you obtained in China?"
Chiba has always been very concerned about this.
This question seems to deviate from the topic they have been talking about, but it also feels like it goes straight to the core.
Chu Xiaotian also fell silent because of this question, and then said: "Just in case."
"Just in case? To prevent what?"
"This... secret."
Chu Xiaotian showed a faint smile to the girl.
However, this smile did not relax Chiba's mood. Instead, it became heavier. She said with some worry: "Oda, you...can't do anything stupid."
"What do you mean by stupid things?"
"that is..."
Qianye couldn't say anything, because it might be a stupid thing to do to a young man, but it might not be a bad thing.
Even though that wasn't a bad thing, it still made Chiba feel uneasy.
The soul-splitting technique is an onmyoji technique that can separate souls and memories.
Why did the boy replace this onmyoji at that time? Even if he didn't think deeply, he knew what he would use this onmyoji, and he said it was just in case...
Seeing the worried look on the girl's face, Chu Xiaotian comforted him: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of accident it is to deal with, as long as this soul-splitting technique is there, there will be no bad results."
"Is it..."
"Of course."
Chu Xiaotian patted his chest vowingly, looking very confident.
This made Chiba relax a little.
At this moment, the door at the back suddenly opened.
"Are you busy?"
The heads of Koizumi Hanayang and Koizumi Hanami came in, curiously looking at the two people sitting opposite each other in the room.
Chu Xiaotian and Qianye both looked at them.
"What's wrong?"
"No, I just came to remind you."
Qianye asked in confusion: "Remind what?"
Koizumi Huayang said with a smile: "Actually, the doors and walls of my house are very soundproof, so even if I sleep next door, I can't hear anything in this room! You can play with peace of mind!"
Chiba's face turned red instantly, and the top of his head began to smoke, like a steam engine.
Chu Xiaotian looked at Koizumi Huayang with a strange expression.
Chiba felt her cheeks were burning hot, and she immediately said: "Hua, Huahai! Don't you want to talk to Sister Huayang about the previous incident!?"
"ah!"
Xiaoquan Huayang suddenly remembered this, she immediately turned to look at her sister, and said expressionlessly: "I heard that someone is pursuing Huayang?"
"Ah...there is such a thing."
Koizumi Hanayang also thought about it, and then she noticed her sister's face that gradually became gloomier.
"Sister, sister?"
"Let's go back to the room and have a good talk."
Then Koizumi Hanayang took Koizumi Hanayang back to the room.
I always feel like my sister is a bit scary now...even though she is indeed a ghost.
Koizumi Hanayang was sitting on the ground, looking nervously at her sister floating in the air with her hands wrapped around her chest and staring at him. She always felt that this posture did not look like her sister's.
Koizumi Huahai narrowed her eyes and said: "If you want to pursue my sister, you must pass my level."
Hearing this, Koizumi Kahiro immediately had a bad premonition. Why did he feel that his sister was stricter than his mother?
Outside the door, Chu Xiaotian and Chiba peeked secretly. They also blinked after seeing the posture of Koizumi Hanahai. There was no doubt that that expression was caused by Ibaraki Doji's character...
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
