Because, I don’t know whether it was an illusion or not, but Haoren could always see some maternal brilliance shining in Xue Ji’s eyes.
But if I say no, that’s not quite right.
because……
"Is it really okay?"
"It's okay, I'll go eat." Haoren sighed.
"Is it really okay? You didn't lie to mom...right?"
Xue Ji was worried and asked again.
"I told you it's okay, I'll go eat quickly!" Haoren was obviously a little impatient after being asked whether he was being asked, and his tone was a little stern.
"Zuo Ming!"
However, as soon as he was so harsh, Xue Ji immediately obeyed and walked back to the dining table.
Maybe that's what Haoren found strange.
During those days, Xue Ji's attitude toward him not only became extremely caring, but also extremely respectful, and she refused to obey anything he said.
From time to time, she would say "Haoren Saren" and call herself "Belong to the East". I want to know if she had never called herself "Haoren" in the past.
Haoren also specifically asked about this.
According to Yuki, she experienced human affection because of Yukari's incident.
Therefore, Haoren finally passed the test and officially became her master.
Haoren was not surprised at that. In fact, taking Xue Ji to meet Yukari to experience family affection was part of his plan.
Although it was a little earlier than he expected, it turned out that Xue Ji had successfully experienced human family affection.
It’s not surprising that he passed the test like this, nor is it surprising that Xue Ji’s attitude became respectful after she recognized her master.
The strange thing is that while becoming respectful, Xue Ji seemed to treat him as a child.
Would a servant dare to treat an adult master as a child?
Or to put it another way, are there any mothers who are wrong in obeying the advice of their younger generation?
That does not disqualify the series of island comics.
The two attitudes are obviously contradictory when combined.
Is he a master or a relative...?
Speaking of which, based on Xue Ji's out-of-the-box character, she might actually do something like that.
With such doubts, Haoren decided to have a good talk with Xue Ji after dinner.
However, after he finished his meal, a strange phone call suddenly interrupted his plan to receive Donglai.
After glancing at the number displayed by Shiwang, Haoren hung up without even thinking about it after finding it was an unfamiliar number.
Since he turned into a fox demon, he rarely takes the initiative to answer calls from strangers.
Suddenly, the phone rang again without mercy.
Haoren didn't answer that time. After ringing for a long time, he hung up the phone at the wrong address.
But after a while, the phone at the same number rang again.
"Hey, I'm good!"
After hesitating for a while, Haoren picked up the phone.
"Hello, may I have Mr. Haoren's phone number?"
"No, who am I?"
"Ah, Hirohito-kun, is he Aunt Ryoko, Rumi-chan's mother..."
The words that came from the demonstration made Haoren slightly stunned, and he secretly wondered how Liangzi knew his phone number.
But then he thought about it, he had left a phone number for Hoshino, maybe Ryoko knew his contact information through Hoshino.
What does she have to do with him?
"So Aunt Liangzi, what does Aunt Liangzi want from him?"
"No, he called Rumi-chan tomorrow morning and heard that her voice sounded a little good, and then he found out that she was sick.
He asked her to go to the hospital to see a doctor, but she refused to go.
Shouldn't I live with her?
He wanted me to persuade her and take her to the hospital, and he would be here later..."
Snap——!
After Liangzi spoke in a hurry, she hung up the phone without waiting for Haoren to reply.
Obviously, she must have been anxious at that time and prepared to drive there.
Not to mention how anxious Liangzi was, her phone call revealed information that Haoren didn't know.
"Hoshino is sick? How could it happen? When did it happen?"
Hearing the beeping sound coming from the showroom, Hao Renque was stunned on the spot.
I want to know that yesterday morning, Hoshino sneaked over from the east class, had a dinner there, and chatted with me for a while.
Her condition was not good yesterday, and there was no sign of any symptoms at all. How could she be sick tomorrow even though she said she was sick?
Moreover, from the tone of Ryoko's voice, it seemed that she was seriously ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.
Of course, because Ryoko hadn't been to his daughter's place in those days and didn't know that he had moved away, that's why he was asked to take his daughter to the hospital.
"Xue Ji, he has something to do, so he needs to go out first!"
Haoren thought for a moment, quickly told Xueji, and left home.
Hoshino was sick. Even without Liangzi's explanation, Haoren would have planned to rush over to see it in person.
No matter how you say Hoshino is a great hero, and without his help in awakening the second tail, Haoren naturally doesn't want anything to happen to her.
Due to time constraints, Haoren did not take the tram there, but directly transformed into a shadow.
Generally speaking, in human cities, especially on the streets, Haoren would not use sorcery so blatantly.
But the situation was urgent at this moment, Hoshino was already in the hospital, and he didn't care about that much anymore.
Transformed into a shadow, Haoren arrived at the apartment building where Hoshino's family lived in less than half an hour, just a few minutes faster than driving.
Because Hoshino had given him a spare key before, Haoren took out the key and opened the door without knocking.
Entering the small apartment with one bedroom and one living room, Haoren found that it was dark outside and there was no one there.
A glimmer of light shone through the crack in the closed door of the room. Thinking that Ryoko had not arrived at this moment, Hoshino should have stayed outside the room, maybe lying on the bed.
After thinking about it, Haoren quickly came to the door of Xingye's room, stretched out his legs and knocked gently on the door.
"..."
no respond?
Haoren immediately opened the door.
Then, what came into view was a surprising picture.
I saw Hoshino lying weakly on the bed. Although it was May, his whole body was covered with several layers of thick quilts, and his body was shivering uncontrollably.
Her face was now blue and purple, her lips had lost the color they had in the past, and some faint red spots even appeared on her face and body.
At the same time, she closed her eyes tightly, her consciousness seemed a little blurry, and she kept mumbling words such as "It's so cold, it's so cold," and she didn't notice Haoren's arrival at all.
Xingye was acting strangely at this moment, which surprised Haoren but also gave him a sense of familiarity.
Red spots, blue complexion, fear of cold...
That's obviously not...
"How did Hoshino get the cold disease that has become popular recently?"
…
When Hirohito hurried to Hoshino's home and discovered Hoshino's condition, he was outside the headquarters of the Tokyo Miko Organization and the largest shrine in the island country, Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine.
Kawashima Fumi was walking outside her office, listening to Leg Dong Fenghua's report.
"Deputy Chief, according to the latest news, nearly one percent of the residents of Hachioji Town have been infected with the inexplicable cold disease..."
"How long has it been since then? There are already so many people here?"
When Fenghua said that, Kawashima Fumi was a little surprised.
"No, it took about a little more than half a month. The current situation has seriously affected the residents' normal work and life."
Fenghua nodded, changed her voice, and revealed her guess.
"In the future, if they and Taishi Jietu can't come up with any solution to alleviate the situation.
I’m afraid that not long after, Hachioji Town will be completely suspended from work and school, and will be blocked by the island government..."
Does Hachioji Town fall under the sphere of influence of the Miko Agency? Of course, the Taishi Bureau, a national civil service department, also has a branch in Hachioji Town.
Therefore, when encountering such a serious security incident, it is usually resolved by the cooperation between the Witch Agency and the Taishi Bureau.
However, more than half a month has passed, and the cold disease incident has not only not been resolved, but has intensified...
