In this era when wired telephones are still necessary furniture and mobile phones have no third function besides making calls and sending text messages, long-distance car rides are a rather torturous process.
Although some people will kill time by reading, that is only suitable for those who are not easily prone to motion sickness.
Most people choose to either daydream or sleep.
Therefore, the sunny boy’s proposal was quickly approved.
Especially after he took out several universal vouchers for the Golden Coastline Snack Street and said that they would be used as rewards, the remaining passengers who were just planning to watch the fun also became interested and planned to join this “reasoning game”.
Seeing that he had successfully heated up the atmosphere, the older boy did not delay and immediately asked the first reasoning question.
The question itself was not difficult and was quite interesting.
Soon, an old man with a hairline like a principal gave the correct answer.
After seeing that the other party actually got the cash voucher, the passengers became more and more enthusiastic about the game, and the whole bus was filled with a hot atmosphere.
“Senior, what are you doing?”
Next to the sunny boy, the girl wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a light grey knee-length skirt, with long black hair draped over her shoulders, tilted her head during the break in the questions and asked in a low voice with some confusion.
After hearing what the other party said, the older boy’s eyes were still on the other passengers, but he explained in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: “Can you see the blonde woman who looks like a model on the cover of a fashion magazine in the middle of the last row of the bus? I’m observing her.”
“Okay, well, it’s beautiful.”
Hearing this, the girl subconsciously turned her head to take a look, and was immediately slightly amazed by the appearance of Xylitol.
Feeling the gaze, the blonde lady raised her head.
When she found out that the person looking at her was a cute girl, she revealed that perfect smile that appealed to both men and women.
Seeing that she was caught peeking, the girl blushed, nodded a little nervously, and then turned her head back: “Senior, do you want to pursue that big sister?”
“Uh, how is that possible, idiot? Just the age alone makes it impossible.”
The boy’s expression froze slightly, and he almost couldn’t keep up appearances.
He grumbled in a low voice, and then his tone suddenly became serious: “When that beautiful woman got on the bus just now, she gave off a very dangerous aura for a moment. She was more dangerous than those serious criminals my father took me to see.”
“Eh? No way?”
Hearing this, the girl did not question her companion’s suspicion, but could not help wanting to take another look at Xylitol, but she held back for fear of arousing vigilance: “Was I exposed when I looked at her just now?”
“Don’t worry, the way you looked at her just now was just curiosity, she won’t care. But now, it’s better not to look at her… Correct! This lady is very smart. The criminal is the owner’s cat. Here is your voucher.”
After replying to the girl in a low voice, the older boy raised his voice and handed out another voucher.
At the same time, he used his peripheral vision to observe the direction of Xylitol.
Although his voice was low, it was full of certainty:
“This time I came to the Golden Coast because my uncle heard some bad news, but he couldn’t determine the source, so he asked me to investigate. I now suspect that the rumor is related to that woman.”
At the same time, in the back seat of the bus.
Although Luo Shiyin has read some mystery novels and watched some TV dramas, she is not very interested in mystery itself.
After listening for a while, she looked away boredly and continued to play with the plush animal ears on her own loli’s head.
Because this was an organized trip, Luo Shiyin asked the little girl to wear the straw hat with a hole on the top and did not deliberately add those inhuman features.
Facts have proved that this kind of open display is less likely to arouse suspicion, just like no one would suspect that there are real cat girls and succubi in the comic exhibition.
The passengers just looked at the animal ears on Luo Xue’s head curiously, and then focused their attention on the little girl’s snow elf-like appearance, and directly regarded the pair of animal ears that fluttered from time to time as decorations.
After glancing at the blonde lady beside her and finding that she was also listening to the reasoning questions with great interest, she took out her cell phone from her pocket, continued to rub her ear with her left hand, and quickly danced on the keyboard with her right hand.
Ten seconds later, Xylitol’s cell phone rang softly, and he received an email from Luo Shiyin – Do you like reasoning very much?
Looking at the black lolita next to him with a puzzled look, Xylitol also started typing on his phone: [I’m just a little interested, but why would we discuss this via email when you’re sitting next to me? ]
[Sense of ritual, that little guy has been peeking at you, didn’t you notice? ]
[Little guy? I’m afraid one of her legs is taller than you, and that was just the gaze of an innocent little boy. How often are you seen by others? ]
When saying this, Xylitol once again noticed the other person’s side glance at him, and simply stopped trying to hide his charming smile.
Seeing this, the older boy was stunned at first, then his face suddenly turned red, and he turned his eyes away as if he had been electrocuted.
Even his answers to subsequent questions became intermittent.
Seeing the other party’s obvious shyness, Xylitol’s suspicions about Luo Shiyin’s email immediately dissipated, and he sent a reply email to a certain black and straight loli: [If you are too suspicious, you will not be able to find a boyfriend in the future~] [It seems like you were just paranoid and tested the other person, or you were so bored that you started teasing the innocent boy? Eh~] Luo Shiyin’s speed in replying to emails suddenly increased.
Then the girl thought about it, raised her hand and pulled Luo Xue, who was leaning against the window to look at the scenery, over, and let the white-haired loli sit on her lap.
Feeling the soft touch in her arms, Luo Shiyin glanced provocatively at the blonde lady beside her.
Then, her next email came: [I am not interested in men, and I can create my own according to my own settings. Can you? ]
“This girl.”
Looking at the words [Eh~] at the end of the previous email, Xylitol couldn’t help but laugh.
[If I remember correctly, the laws issued by the country stipulate that anyone who assaults an underage female is subject to the death penalty.]
[Lolita fans love lolita, it’s only natural. 】
【？ 】
[Let’s not talk about this anymore. What were you busy with last week? You didn’t reply to my email for a long time.]
[Of course, I am investigating the whereabouts of the magical girl transformation device. I have some clues now and will be able to confirm it in about a month. ]
When replying to this email, Xylitol glanced at the other party calmly, wondering in his heart whether this was the question the other party really wanted to know, or whether his secret investigation last week had been exposed?
Fortunately, Luo Shiyin did not let the other party doubt for too long.
[Who was that masked guy last time? When I asked Wansui, he just said he was from another evil organization. If you want to know more, come to me.]
[Nothing. The masked man is a member of the “Gate” organization. I have dealt with him several times before when I was collecting clues outside. He is a very tough opponent, otherwise he would not have escaped from you so easily.]
[I said, I left half of his body behind, his kidneys were smashed off, can a weirdo’s vitality be that strong?]
[He is so strong. Not to mention that you just cut him in half, even if you took out his heart, as long as there are fragments left, there is still a chance of recovery. However, the mask is a must for stable space teleportation. He used long-distance space teleportation to escape without the mask. He is lucky to be on the verge of death. It is estimated that we will not see him for at least half a year.]
As if to prevent Luo Shiyin from focusing on her own “investigation”, Xylitol replied in great detail.
However, some parts were omitted, such as the sentence “We have dealt with each other several times.”
Looking at the masked man’s expression last time, which was as if he was being bullied by a bull, it is definitely not something that can be dismissed with just a few words.
After confirming that the so-called “Gate” organization was not aware of the existence of her own organization, Luo Shiyin changed the topic.
After exchanging more than ten emails, the black-haired loli finally satisfied her addiction to online chatting.
On the other side, the sunny boy’s reasoning competition was still going on.
Although he would continue to secretly look at Xylitol in the middle, he would immediately retract his gaze as soon as their eyes made contact, like a pure little boy.
However, the number of vouchers was not large.
After all of them were distributed, the older boy sat back in his seat and continued to chat in a low voice with the girl next to him.
“Ha~” In the back seat of the car, Luo Xue was a little tired of the scenery outside the car and couldn’t help yawning.
Seeing this, Luo Shiyin patted her legs gently, motioning the other party to lie down and have a sleep.
After taking off the little shoes on her feet, Luo Xue lay down with her head facing inward, and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The bus ran relatively smoothly and the two-hour journey passed quickly.
As the coastal scenery appeared outside the car window, the passengers who were still awake in the car woke up their companions and began to discuss the upcoming tour.
On the other side, Wansui, who had been reading documents for two hours in a row while maintaining the same posture, raised his head.
His already empty eyes looked even more numb:
“After we get off the bus, we’ll go directly to the seaside hotel we booked to check in.”
“Well, you’re still alive.”
Luo Shiyin froze when she suddenly heard this emotionless voice.
When she looked at the other person again, there was a look of genuine admiration in her eyes – when she usually sat in the air-conditioned room, she would only read research documents for a maximum of an hour and a half.
The bus soon arrived at the bus parking lot specially built on the Golden Coastline, and several buses of different colors also arrived at the same time.
But when she looked at the boys and girls getting off the bus in familiar school uniforms, Luo Shiyin’s expression became a little stiff.
