Chapter 112 - 112 26 Change!_2

112: Chapter 26 Change!_2 112: Chapter 26 Change!_2 The pink smoke dissipated, and with it, the girl herself vanished.

Pop ju, pop ju, the sound of a bouncy substance contacting the ground arose.

Emerging from the smoke, in place of the twin-tailed girl, was an extra-large plush toy bear with fluffy fur, nearly as tall as she had been.

Two small cat hair clips adorned the big toy bear’s head.

It lifted its fuzzy paw and asked, “Did I change?”

Milais’s jaw almost dislocated.

“Turned into a bear—?!”

“Great, it worked!

Can I borrow this for a sec?

I’ll give it right back to you.”

The middle schooler nodded absently.

The big bear took his, no, the stranger man’s Walkman and shouted just like before.

“Change!”

Bang!

After the pink smoke dissipated, the Walkman had transformed into two connected movie tickets.

Because his mouth was agape, Milais’s jaw truly dislocated this time.

“Hang in there, Shiyu Lianyi!

I’m coming to help you!!”

Pop ju, pop ju, the big plush bear hopped into the building.

It took Milais over a minute to regain his basic sanity.

He looked at his empty hands, then at the entrance of the nearby building.

“My Walkman…no, my jaw…no!!!

Aaaaah!!”

The boy with the duckbill cap, holding his jaw, sprinted into the building.

Almost at the same time Milais rushed into the building, a black sedan that had escaped the traffic jam finally arrived at the entrance.

The passengers, dressed in black, immediately spotted the two electric bikes.

“They’re here!

Let’s chase!”

The trio in black hurried into the building.

A few minutes later, two students from Imperial University landed on the rooftop of the Extreme Stability Building.

Gongsun Ce asked anxiously, “Mr.

Shiyu?

Miss Qiluo?

What on earth is going on?”

·

What exactly happened in this building?

To answer that question, we need to turn back the minute hand slightly, to the time just after Qiluo arrived at the entrance of the building—that is—

When Mr.

Shiyu pointed at the baby crib.

Gongsun would occasionally grumble to him that Qin Qianbai’s tone of voice sometimes sent chills down his spine, making a warm spring season feel as though it had suddenly entered a cold winter.

Shiyu Lianyi would often laugh it off as a friend’s exaggerated metaphor until today, he finally experienced the sensation Gongsun Ce spoke of.

All of it was real.

“So, tell me, why would you have me help pick out a baby crib?”

That feeling was like being yanked suddenly from a warm room into the frigid outdoors in the dead of winter.

When she, whom he knew so well, spoke with such a tone, the harshness was amplified by the stark contrast.

Even when they first met, Kardesia had never spoken to him with that tone.

She was always gentle, cheerful, considerate, lively, and kind.

It was precisely because her heart was so warm that he was drawn to her.

Shiyu Lianyi thought blankly that this must be karmic retribution.

Life is always like that, the amount you receive is the amount you have to pay.

It must have been because he had been too indifferent at the start that he encountered such a helpless situation three and a half years later.

“It’s so weird, Lianyi.

Normally, it’s people with relevant experience who understand these things.

Do I look like a girl who has taken care of babies?”

—He’d stepped into a minefield.

That blonde looked like a delinquent, she must lead a messy private life; that guy doesn’t do well in school, probably hangs out all the time, who knows what she does in her everyday life…

Kaldesia Spencer hated nothing more than such prejudiced views!

It was just like when ill-mannered thugs hit on her, like when upperclassmen harassed her under the guise of club activities in high school, like when passing girls gossiped about her when she first entered university.

In a moment, immediately, within a second, Kaldesia was about to blow her top!

There was time for one more sentence.

Now, in this moment of dire desperation, the one phrase that could turn the tide—!

“I remember Kardesia had a younger brother and sister, so I thought you might have picked up some relevant knowledge during the time you were taking care of them.”

Like a victim struggling in the floodwaters reaching out for a lifeline, Shiyu Lianyi threw out his last reason!

“Because, Kardesia is a gentle girl who likes to take care of people, right!”

There was no doubt that this was filled with genuine emotion, his heartfelt words.

“You…”

The blonde girl seemed at a loss for words due to the sudden outburst.

“Oh, I see.

Sorry~” She touched her head, awkwardly speaking, “My parents bought all the baby items back then, so I can’t help you there…”

Shiyu Lianyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He had succeeded, stepping back from the precipice of panic!

He turned naturally, calling out to a friend.

“No, it was my lack of consideration.

Since there’s nothing we can do, shall we just leave here for now?”

All he needed now was to quickly find an excuse to get out of the furniture store, and he could successfully turn the page on this one!

“—Wait a second, Lianyi.”

Behind Shiyu Lianyi, the blonde girl held down her hat.

“You haven’t told me yet, why do you want to buy this thing.”

…He rejoiced too soon.

With his back to the girl, he couldn’t see the expression on her face, which intensified the invisible pressure on the man.

The initial question hadn’t been answered; he still had to come up with a reasonable excuse for buying a baby crib!

Think fast, Shiyu Lianyi, one last hurdle…!

“It’s the material.”

He had thought of it!

A plausible reason that could dispel Kardesia’s doubts!

The young man in the suit did his best to appear calm, “Babies are very delicate, and considering this, baby cribs often use materials that are beneficial to the human body…

I wanted to select the ideal material here and have a bed custom-made from it.”

The excuse seemed far-fetched.

Would she believe it?

“Oh, I see~”

The girl’s voice returned to its usual state, and Shiyu Lianyi felt a huge sense of relief.

Finally, he had succeeded…!

A familiar touch came from his right shoulder, as Kardesia affectionately stood beside him, whispering in his ear.

“I’ll just take your word for it for now, Lianyi.”

Cold sweat instantly soaked the lining of his suit.

“—!”

The blonde girl smiled at him as usual.

“Hey, Lianyi?

Where shall we go next?”

Shiyu Lianyi was acutely aware of the cold reality.

The carefully prepared date plan had, at this moment, turned into a scrap of paper.

What was even more painful was that—

The club members who were running around for his love life were still completely in the dark about this!
