Chapter 558: Chapter 355! Happiness Equals Pain? (8000 Words Goal Achieved)

The next day at Kyubei High School.

It was an ordinary day, just another day of school.

The rumors about Beichuan Si at Kyubei were now becoming more and more mysterious.

It was because Beichuan Si had skipped class way too many times.

Since the beginning of the school year, he had missed at least a month of classes.

So, could it be that the school was no longer capable of disciplining Beichuan Si?

Some even said that Beichuan Si had once entered the principal’s office with a knife...

Thus, now whether they were lower grade students or higher grade students, all of them exchanged looks and were increasingly afraid of Beichuan Si.

Girls who had offended Beichuan Si in the past, like Shuishu Yui and Ando Fuyu, now took detours that were four or five meters away when they saw Beichuan Si.

The reputation of the Kyubei North Demon King gained another layer of gloom.

Under such circumstances, Beichuan Si completely disregarded people’s stares and maintained his usual pace.

Time finally moved on to the afternoon.

After greeting Shen Gu Mirai, Beichuan Si directly walked to Magong Tong’s classroom.

"Magong."

"Ah... Beichuan, please wait a moment." As soon as Magong Tong saw Beichuan Si appear at the classroom door, she became flustered while packing her textbooks.

She haphazardly stuffed the originally neat textbooks into her backpack, then jogged over to Beichuan Si, bowing her head, "Sorry for the wait, Beichuan. Shall we go?"

Magong Tong and Beichuan Si walked to the school gate together, and she finally took a small breath after they were far from the strange stares of others.

Just now, as she and Beichuan Si walked through the school, they were the center of attention; many people cast their gazes at them, causing her, who was naturally timid, to tremble with fear.

Now that they were far from the sight of their classmates, she finally managed to speak a few words to Beichuan Si:

"Beichuan, do you really want me to talk to the senior like that?"

"Yes. Just say it to her based on the content I told you over the phone last night," Beichuan Si responded without hesitation.

Last night, Beichuan Si had actually made another call to Magong Tong, and they decided that he would go to the Church of Truth and Happiness to check the situation on behalf of Magong Tong.

"This... Okay then."

Magong Tong reluctantly agreed, "But... Beichuan, please don’t do anything dangerous, that church... it sounds a bit off."

She looked somewhat uneasy.

Hearing this, Beichuan Si simply nodded, his tone reassuring, "Don’t worry, do I look like someone who would easily get involved with danger?"

"Uh..." Magong Tong tilted her head.

Given that these were Beichuan Si’s words, she believed there probably wouldn’t be much of a problem.

She clasped the hem of her skirt, thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "Okay, I believe you, Beichuan."

The commercial street was only a few minutes away from where they were, Beichuan Si took these minutes to reassure Magong Tong, so she wouldn’t get nervous and accidentally reveal something to that senior.

They walked a bit further, and finally, Magong Tong stopped at one of the entrances of a shopping mall, turning her head to stutteringly introduce:

"This... this is part of my family’s business."

"???" Beichuan Si.

Hadn’t Magong Tong mentioned that she worked at her family’s supermarket?

But what she had just said...

Beichuan Si glanced over Magong Tong’s shoulder.

Was this entire department store owned by the Magong Family?

Realizing that Beichuan Si’s gaze seemed a bit off, Magong Tong hurriedly placed her hand in front of her and waved it vigorously.

Her face flushed, "No, it’s not like what I said... what I mean is... all the stores here have already been rented out... and then... my family just runs a supermarket here."

’All rented out,’ ’just,’ ’only runs a supermarket’...

Beichuan Si looked at Magong Tong again, and after a long while, he nodded, "I understand, Magong, let’s go to where you work then."

"Okay... okay."

Seeing that Beichuan Si didn’t mind, Magong Tong also felt relieved and continued to lead the way.

They took the escalator, then headed to the shopping area on the second floor.

Half of this area belonged to the Magong family’s supermarket.

Perhaps this was what the world of a wealthy family was like?

Beichuan Si was led by Magong Tong through an employee-only passage, and before they even reached the staff rest area, they heard a friendly greeting from ahead: "Magong?"

A college-aged woman with wavy long hair, dressed in a light blue supermarket uniform, stood in the employee passage, smiling warmly at Magong Tong.

This must be the senior Magong Tong had mentioned repeatedly, right?

But compared to the amiable and kind senior, Magong Tong seemed somewhat hesitant; she bowed deeply, "Hello, Hetian senior."

"We haven’t seen much of you these days, Magong, how is it going? Have you thought about the topic I mentioned before?" she asked directly while smiling and walking up to Magong Tong.

"That..."

Magong Tong looked troubled.

Whenever it came to times like this, it seemed she completely couldn’t utter any words of refusal.

Seeing her utterly unreliable appearance, Beichuan Si internally shook his head.

It looked like Magong Tong’s part-time job was going to continue for a while.

With this thought, he stepped in front of Magong Tong and spoke calmly, "Hello, you must be Hetian Wu senior, right?"

"You are...?"

Hetian Wu frowned as she looked at Beichuan Si.

She didn’t recall knowing this young man.
