In this life, everyone has their own troubles.
And the high school beauty with silver high ponytail and a charming tear mole at the corner of her eye, Kawasaki Saki, is now very troubled.
She is still carrying the 1 million yen hush money given by Lin Xi in her bag.
Originally, she planned to talk to him in the afternoon and return this hot potato of hush money.
After all, in her opinion, this is not hush money.
But the cost of being kept, the funds he used to prostitute himself.
Kawasaki Saki also has backbone.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have hidden her age in the original work and worked the night shift in a high-end bar.
She wants to rely on her own hard work to earn enough tuition to reduce the burden on her family.
So she doesn't want to accept this kind of unclear money.
What's more.
In her eyes, Lin Xi is a super dangerous and heartless man.
She doesn't plan to get involved with such a person.
So it's best to return the money.
However, as soon as school was over in the afternoon, Lin Xi was pulled away by Yuihama Yui and the other three.
She simply didn't have a chance to talk.
Helpless, Kawasaki Saki had to nervously carry the schoolbag containing the huge sum of 1 million yen home.
She only hopes that no one will find out.
Otherwise, this money will be really hard to explain.
If her parents find out, they will definitely think she is doing compensated dating.
Ah, no, compensated dating uses so much money.
It is estimated that they thought she stole it.
Kawasaki Saki blamed Lin Xi in her heart, she was nervous all day, and when she returned home, she felt as if she had lost her strength.
Thinking that she is being targeted by a terrifying heartless man, she becomes even more troubled.
So, how should she make Lin Xi lose interest in her?
After thinking about it, she couldn't think of a way.
...
Coming to Lin Xi's side.
Shiina Mashiro has already returned to the Sakura Manor.
Just as he walked to the door, he saw Shiina Mashiro trotting over and stretching out her snow-white palm to him.
"Uh, Mashiro, what are you asking me for?"
"Baumkuchen."
She's still thinking about it, when he brought her back, he bought a bag.
As a result, he only fed her two.
Just thinking about it makes her angry.
The girl's cheeks puffed up, staring straight at him.
Lin Xi helplessly raised his hand and touched her cheek, "It's in my room, come in with me."
Shiina Mashiro obediently followed behind him. After receiving the Baumkuchen, she sat directly on his bed.
She held the unwrapped Baumkuchen with her fair little hands and ate it in small bites.
That satisfied expression, combined with her petite figure, golden hair, and beautiful face, was simply too adorable.
Lin Xi felt like he was feeding a pet.
Seeing her sitting on his bed so unguardedly, he shook his head helplessly.
Lin Xi shifted his gaze to the desk in the room, where there was an antique box.
It was probably the 'Mysterious Treasure Chest' that the system had rewarded him with.
This item's ability was that if you put something in, it would spit out other items.
It was like opening a blind box.
There was also a 1% chance of opening a Treasure Chest Monster, which would spit out generous item rewards.
Lin Xi was instantly intrigued.
So, he picked up a Baumkuchen, opened the box, and threw it in.
Then he closed the box.
A second later.
The box trembled slightly.
[Ding, the Mysterious Treasure Chest has generated a reward.]
Oh ho.
There's even a system prompt.
That's convenient.
The prompt proves that he can open the box.
Wouldn't he be scared out of his wits if he really opened a Treasure Chest Monster?
But he also knew that he had only put in a Baumkuchen, so he probably wouldn't be lucky enough to open a Treasure Chest Monster.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xi grabbed the lid of the treasure chest with both hands and lifted it up.
A golden light flashed, and something extra appeared inside.
Taking a closer look.
It was a bottle of potion.
[Ding, you have received the reward, a potion that only dissolves clothes.]
Lin Xi's mouth twitched when he heard the prompt.
What's the use of this?
Doesn't he know that clothes cost money too?
Why would he dissolve clothes for no reason?
But then again, getting a magical potion for just a Baumkuchen isn't a loss.
So he put in another Baumkuchen.
[Ding, reward has been generated.]
Opening the box again.
[Ding, you have received the reward, Potion of Clairvoyance.]
"Potion of Clairvoyance?"
[Potion of Clairvoyance: After drinking, can see through clothes to view the target's body.]
This is good!
A man's benefit.
Lin Xi carefully put the potion in the drawer.
Shiina Mashiro blinked curiously, "Lin Xi, what is this?"
Lin Xi smiled and patted her head, "This is my family heirloom. As long as you put something in, you can get other things. Mashiro, do you want to try?"
"Okay."
The girl nodded seriously, and then in front of him.
She reached both hands into her school uniform skirt.
Grabbing both sides of the thin fabric, she pulled it down along her slender legs.
"Ah! Mashiro, what are you taking off?"
"Panties."
"I know it's panties! So I'm asking why are you taking them off in front of me?"
Lin Xi was speechless.
Aren't you afraid that I'll turn into a wolf with you being so unguarded?
Mashiro didn't understand why he was so troubled, so she explained in a daze.
"Because these aren't cute."
Lin Xi: "..."
Before he could say anything, Mashiro had already walked to the treasure chest and threw in the panties that Shiina Mahiru had helped her choose in the morning.
The treasure chest trembled for a while.
[Ding, you have received the reward, Angel's Blessing.]
"What the heck?"
Just as he was wondering.
Mashiro had already opened the treasure chest, and a soft, white pair of panties appeared inside.
"These are cuter."
Mashiro put them on her legs and wore them.
Lin Xi: "..."
A pair of panties is called Angel's Blessing?
Are you kidding me?
Silently complaining, Lin Xi still checked the information.
[Angel's Blessing (Panties): These are panties that have been enchanted with Swift Travel by a certain angel. The wearer has one chance to instantly travel anywhere.]
Seeing this, Lin Xi was silent.
He inexplicably thought of an angel named "Gabriel."
Only she would use Swift Travel on panties.
But isn't this ability too wasteful for Mashiro?
Okay, since she exchanged it with her own panties, let her wear them.
Mashiro got a cute pair of panties and immediately became interested, but the treasure chest could not be opened.
Lin Xi glanced at it and explained: "It can only be used three times a day, and I have already used it twice."
After all, this is just a prop, not an omnipotent exchange platform.
It's normal to have restrictions.
"Let's try again tomorrow, but Mashiro can't tell anyone about the box, it's a secret, understand?"
"En, Mashiro won't tell."
She nodded obediently, then stared at him blankly.
Lin Xi smiled and asked:
"I haven't asked yet, Mashiro, what do you want to do when you come all the way from England?"
"Manga."
"Manga? Are you drawing manga? Can I see Mashiro's drawings?"
"Okay."
The girl directly grabbed his hand and ran to the third floor.
Arriving at Mashiro's room.
The room has been restored to cleanliness, and the clothes are all placed in the closet.
This was organized by Ogiwara Sayu.
Shiina Mashiro took out a notebook and handed it to him.
Lin Xi took the manga and looked at it.
"En, a man and a woman meet on the street, then bump into each other, and... fall in love?"
"Then... a male supporting character comes out to steal the heroine, wait, why are they getting married? Where's the male supporting character?"
Lin Xi was speechless.
In Mashiro's manga, the characters look very exquisite.
This means that her drawing skills are very good.
After all, she is an internationally renowned artist, and her drawing skills are naturally very good.
It's just that the plot is very problematic.
After all, she has no common sense, so she doesn't know how the plot should develop after a man and a woman start dating.
Looking at his pensive expression, Shiina Mashiro rarely showed a frustrated expression.
"It's not good, is it?"
"The drawings are very good, but the plot is too problematic."
"The editor also said that."
"The manga submission has been returned many times."
Looking at her frustrated expression, but completely not understanding where the problem lies, Lin Xi's heart instantly softened.
He raised his hand and gently touched her hair, smiling and said:
"It's okay, it's not a big problem."
"Mashiro's drawing skills are not a problem, rather, they are too good. You just have a problem with the plot."
"You should be imitating other manga, wanting to draw a romance type, right?"
"Speaking of which, Mashiro, do you know what boys and girls do when they date?"
"Rita said they kiss."
"It's already drawn."
"Uh, I mean, besides kissing, what is the process of dating like?"
"..."
Shiina Mashiro was silent, her mind blank. She had only heard Rita mention it.
But she had no clue at all.
Lin Xi looked at the girl who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, revealing a pleasant smile.
"How about this, Mashiro, you just draw the things that happen in our daily life, and I will check it for you."
"Maybe you can publish your manga soon, for example, you can also draw the treasure chest in my room."
Hearing this, Shiina Mashiro pursed her lips, and finally nodded vigorously.
"Okay."
"Lin Xi, you need to assist Mashiro."
"No problem, but you also have to promise me one thing. Mashiro, don't ever take off your panties in front of others again, or I'll be very angry and won't want to help you anymore!"
"And I won't give you Baumkuchen anymore."
Hearing such serious consequences, Shiina Mashiro's brows furrowed tightly.
After thinking for a while, she looked up at him, "Can't I take them off in front of Lin Xi either?"
"But you seem very happy."
"Uh… we can when we're alone, but not in front of other people, absolutely not, got it?"
"Got it."
"Not just panties, clothes too, don't take them off in front of others."
"Yes, only let Lin Xi take them off."
"Cough, it's not like I'm taking them off…"
He wanted to say something more, but seeing Mashiro's ignorant look, he decided against it.
Raising his hand to touch her little head, he said softly:
"Let's start drawing from today, draw what you experienced today, and gradually you'll know how to shape the story's plot."
"The so-called plot comes from life, and stories are adapted and embellished from life."
"I won't disturb you anymore, remember to come down for dinner later."
"Okay."
Looking at her obediently nodding, she was so cute that Lin Xi couldn't help but lean over and kiss her cheek.
After rubbing her little head again, he left.
Shiina Mashiro touched her cheek and then placed her hand on her heart.
"A strange feeling."
Lin Xi kissed my cheek…
Does he want to date me?
Rita said that only boys and girls who are dating kiss.
