Chapter 61 Mrs. Yukinoshita is Attacked
The tram soon pulled into the station.
There weren't many people on the bus. Xia Sheng and the others got on and sat down wherever they wanted. He sat on the far side, next to Shiina Mahiru.
"Yukinoshita, your hairstyle is so cute today." Yui Yuigahama admired Yukinoshita's hairstyle and praised her sincerely.
"Is that so? Thank you," Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly.
"Hehe~ Did you prepare this especially for today?"
"No, it was just a quick and easy hairstyle. It's actually quite convenient."
"It suits you so well~"
"Really? Your bun hairstyle suits you too."
Hehe~
Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama chatted briefly, while Natsuo and Mahiru Shiina listened without interrupting.
Yukino Yukinoshita's twin tails really suit her, making her less aloof and more charming.
Natsumi really liked girls with twin ponytails. His gaze fell on Shiina Mahiru's long, straight, flaxen hair, wondering what she would look like with twin ponytails.
"What are you looking at?" Shiina Mahiru noticed his gaze.
"Hmm... I was wondering what you would look like with twin tails," Xia Sheng answered truthfully.
"Don't I look good with my current hairstyle?" Shiina Mahiru asked, looking at him.
"No, you look great right now. I just wanted to see a different side of you. Anyway, I'm sure any hairstyle would suit you," Xia Sheng smiled and answered generously.
"Any hairstyle suits me... I think you just want to see twin tails." Shiina Mahiru laughed, glancing at him and exposing his intentions.
"Oh dear, you found out." Xia Sheng admitted with a smile.
"Then why don't you watch more of Yukinoshita?"
"I wanted to see your twin tails," Xia Sheng emphasized in a low voice.
"...Dream on." Shiina Mahiru glared at him and turned her head away.
Xia Sheng was not saddened by her rejection; instead, he laughed heartily.
Shiina Mahiru's attitude towards him has changed, much better than her cold attitude these past two days.
The tram quickly entered the city center, and the four people got off at the station.
"I know a shopping mall nearby that sells clothes at very reasonable prices. Would you like to go check it out?" Yui Yuigahama asked the three of them.
"I'll listen to you." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded.
"Where is it?" Xia Sheng asked.
"Over there," Yui Yuigahama pointed in the south.
"Okay, let's go." Xia Sheng agreed immediately.
Because the direction he was going was opposite to the direction he had previously gone to buy his art supplies, he didn't care as long as he didn't go that way.
Although he couldn't recall the bald man's identity, he was clearly not an ordinary person and had come from the Shinomiya Bank.
Xia Sheng guessed that the bald man was probably related to the Shinomiya family, and might even be a direct descendant of the Shinomiya family.
Given the Shinomiya family's capabilities, they could indeed suppress the news, but conversely, his actions that day were certainly captured on film.
Why doesn't the Shinomiya family send someone to contact him?
Was the photo not clear?
It was Yukino Yukinoshita who said that she was wary of him and dared not disturb him.
Or are they already making plans in secret?
Xia Sheng was unaware of this, but he didn't want to come under the Shinomiya family's thumb to avoid being harassed.
The shopping mall that Yui Yuigahama mentioned is a place geared towards ordinary people; the Shinomiya family doesn't own any businesses here.
The characters for "Four Palaces" were nowhere to be seen.
The mall was crowded with people. Xia Sheng walked at the back, protecting the three of them while looking around.
He just wanted to see if he would recognize anyone he knew.
It's the students' holiday now, and most of the customers in the mall are teenagers; they're the only ones who have time to come out and have fun.
However, when he went upstairs to the men's clothing store, Xia Sheng did not see any familiar faces.
"Natsuo, is this your only outfit for going out?" At the store entrance, Yui Yuigahama asked Natsuo instead of going in right away.
"Huh? How did you know?"
Xia Sheng didn't expect to be exposed so quickly.
"Well, what else can I do? I haven't seen you wearing any other clothes. Perfect, why don't you buy a couple of outfits while you're at it?" Yui Yuigahama sighed, looking like a doting mother.
"Okay, just buy two items."
"How can you just pick anything? The clothes here are quite nice. Let us help you choose."
"I don't really care..."
"Let's go in together then." Yui Yuigahama hooked her arms around Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina's arms, one on each side, and pulled them inside.
"Wait, Yuihama..."
"Let's help Xia Sheng pick out a couple of things, we don't have anything else to do anyway."
"All right......"
Xia Sheng followed behind the three, feeling happy.
Yui Yuigahama chose a really good store. Natsuo only glanced at it and immediately liked the styles, plus the prices were reasonable.
He was of good height and build, and decent clothes fit him very well.
Yui and the others quickly picked out three nice outfits for him.
All three had excellent taste and vision. Xia Sheng tried it on briefly and then bought it directly.
They picked these out for him, so there was no need to hesitate.
After buying the clothes, it was time to get down to business. Natsumi and the others followed Yui Yuigahama to an accessories store.
There weren't many people in the store, and they didn't need any staff. Yui Yuigahama knew the place well and led them to the area where they needed to buy things.
Accessories such as wigs, fake beards, and masks.
It's not like he's doing anything illegal or criminal; these things are enough to help Xia Sheng cover his tracks.
Natsuo originally intended to pick one randomly, but Yui and the others were acting strangely. They not only pushed him away but also started picking one themselves with anticipation.
What are you expecting?
Xia Sheng quickly realized that he had become a model and was dressed up arbitrarily by the three men, looking neither human nor ghost.
With a messy wig, a big beard or a full beard... he became a doll for the three of them.
Yui Yuigahama even opened her backpack and started doing his makeup. The group got carried away and got carried away.
Xia Sheng was dressed up so much that he couldn't even recognize himself when he looked in the mirror.
Although the effect was very good, and no one could recognize him as he swaggered out like that, he was still a little embarrassed in broad daylight.
After the three of them had been playing with him for a while, Xia Sheng couldn't take it anymore and ran out to find a bathroom to wash his face thoroughly.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his familiar face in the mirror again.
When Natsumi came back after showering, Yui and the others also came out, all three of them still looking like they hadn't had enough.
They're addicted to it.
"Xia Sheng, why are you running so fast?"
"Exactly, what if you don't dress up properly and get recognized?"
"That's all I can think."
All three of them were laughing, but Xia Sheng felt a little scared.
"...That's good enough, anyway, they'll definitely know it's me."
No matter how he dresses up or changes his appearance, as soon as he makes a move, you'll know it's him, the same person from that day.
Unless, people will overthink it, and he's not the only one.
Xia Sheng dressed up and changed his appearance mainly because he was betting that people didn't know what he really looked like.
"Let's go, it's time for lunch. It's on me. What would you like to eat?"
"Natsuo, you're treating? Is that alright?" Yui Yuigahama knew about his situation.
"Don't worry, I'm not short of money now," Xia Sheng replied with a smile.
The novel is about to be released, and his royalties will arrive then, and thereafter they will continue to flow in.
He no longer needs to worry about funding.
"Really? Then we won't stand on ceremony."
"Pick whatever you like!"
They said they could choose any restaurant, but Yui and the others didn't pick any expensive ones, since the restaurants here weren't considered expensive.
After dinner, I felt a bit bored.
However, there was a dessert shop nearby, and Xia Sheng treated them again. The four of them ate desserts and drank tea there until the afternoon.
The Black Mist Man did not appear, or rather, he was not here, but there was no activity on the internet either.
If Xia Sheng doesn't take action, the Black Mist Man won't be easy to deal with, and it will definitely cause a stir.
"It seems the Black Mist Man won't be showing up today." Yukino Yukinoshita put away her phone.
She spent the whole afternoon monitoring the situation online.
"Yeah, but I had a lot of fun today," Yui Yuigahama said happily.
"It's alright... It's about time, let's go back."
"All right."
I took the tram back again.
After saying goodbye to Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama at the train station, Natsuo and Mahiru Shiina thought of a possibility on their way back.
They must live very close to each other.
However, now is not the right time to inquire about their whereabouts.
Back home, Xia Sheng threw his new clothes into the washing machine and went out to the convenience store to buy dinner.
On his way back, he thought he would be able to eat dinner cooked by Shiina Mahiru, so he didn't buy any on the way.
He was overthinking it.
After leaving the apartment, Xia Sheng walked towards the convenience store, but stopped halfway there.
He had a bad feeling, as if danger was approaching. His body was also warning him; his heart was racing and the hairs on his body were standing on end.
Is this a sense of danger?
The Black Mist People have appeared?
Xia Sheng didn't have time to think, and ran towards the source of the danger he sensed, which was not far away.
He quickly ran to the roadside and saw a figure shrouded in black mist blocking the front of a long, luxurious black car.
The front of the car had been smashed flat.
Just then, the people in the car hurriedly got out; it was a woman in a kimono and a middle-aged man.
Upon seeing the woman's appearance, Xia Sheng was taken aback.
He actually saw a few traces of Yukino Yukinoshita on her face.
