Chapter 500: Trust
"So we can be considered as just calling each other by our first names, right, Lily?"
Gojo Mizu held her face and swayed in front of me, her eyelashes closed up and down like stars, and she winked at me in a cute way.
I got goosebumps all over my body instantly.
How should I put it... It feels like being hit by cuteness, horror and corniness at the same time.
"This time, it's my turn to ask questions." He raised his hand impatiently and asked.
"Okay, okay." I propped up my chin, closed my eyes unbearably, and said resignedly, "What do you want to ask me?"
“I asked.”
"Just ask."
“I really need to ask.”
Sorry for being so noisy. Do I need to repeat the question so many times?
"Ask, ask, ask, ask." I opened my eyes and glared at him impatiently. "It's just a question, why are you making it like an investigative meeting?"
"Are you going to be arrested by the police after you say this?"
“That’s because you thought I was a stalker and kept away from me.” He muttered, his lips curled up so high that you could hang a 1-kilogram oil bottle on it and it wouldn’t fall off. “What if the things I ask accidentally touch your sore spot, and then you block and delete me?”
It seems that my previous behavior really left him with a big shadow.
"It will not."
"How do you know it won't happen?"
"Oh, I told you I wouldn't." Seeing that the three of them were still looking at me without blinking, I could only sigh helplessly, pulled up the call records on my phone, and explained to them, "Because I mentioned this matter when I was on the phone with my parents before."
"Then......"
This is the most magical place.
“They actually know you.” I said, “Such an event with such a small probability actually happened to me. My parents actually know you.”
Although most of the time, I feel like they're just not that great.
But as far as I can remember, they have never made a mistake in making major decisions.
Whether it was opening a pub, expanding the business, building a brand and opening it nationwide, investing in mergers and acquisitions, or tutoring me, choosing teachers, and suggesting which university to go to and which major to study...
This summer, they took some time to come back to my hometown to see me, and they even helped my uncle catch an arsonist who was following high school students with an oil barrel and preparing to set fire.
I heard that the guy had just pried open the lock of the door in the middle of the night when he was caught by the uncle who was waiting nearby!
Speaking of which, when I was a child I always thought my father was a chef. Later I learned from my uncle that he used to be a monk!
Maybe it is because of this that he can tell fortunes, so he can predict the future as if he has divine help...
"My parents are very good at judging people!" Coming out of my memories, I said with pride, "Since they think you are not bad people, then you are probably not."
"Just because of what your parents said... do you completely trust us?" After a long silence, Xia Yujie asked.
"That's not the case." I took a sip of milk tea, the sweet taste flowing down my throat, squinted my eyes in satisfaction, and said, "The main reason is my own independent judgment."
Apart from my parents, I never thought of them as bad people from the beginning. At most, I thought they were a little bit stupid.
"In this world, there are always good and bad people randomly. Ordinary people can be stabbed by hidden arrows and sharp claws that pop out from the corners if they are not careful."
"There's nothing wrong with being cautious, vigilant, and on guard. That's why trust is such a precious and rare thing."
"But," I smiled and said to them, "When a good and trustworthy person appears, but is always looked at with such eyes, no matter how powerful he is, he will probably feel hurt."
How could it be a pleasant feeling to experience such a feeling?
After saying this, I put down the brown sugar pearl milk tea in my hand, turned around, and saw three faces with expressions that looked like there was something stuck in their throats, as if tiny silver needles had pierced their skin and pierced their flesh.
It's so ugly.
It's even worse than the crappy movie I saw in the cinema last week.
"Hey, you guys." I said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Are you both upset? Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
I thought I would see them touched by my trust, but in the end I just met three blockheads.
If someone of this level could commit fraud, I would immediately walk back to Tokyo standing upside down outside the western restaurant.
"Ahem... No." Xia Yujie came back to his senses, he cleared his throat, and asked with a smile, "I'm just a little shocked that you said your parents know us, Lily-chan."
"Excuse me, what are their names, when and where did you meet?"
"My mother's name is Suzuki Chi, and my father's name is Suzuki Shi." I stroked my chin, thinking about our previous phone call, and replied, "The latter part was not detailed, only that I worked where you work."
"My mom and I look a lot like each other, but she has an oval face, very fair skin, and is a bit taller than me. The only thing I have like my dad is his eyes. He's also quite tall, about 1.83 meters tall, and a bit thin. We both look quite young. When I walked down the street, they wouldn't believe that I was their daughter." I looked at them and asked, "How are you? Do you have any impression of me?"
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads silently.
"No." Gojo's misty blue eyes flashed, and he said, "Your mother looks a lot like you. If I had an impression, I would definitely remember it."
"Well," I shrugged and said, "If you don't remember, forget it."
"But, speaking of which, where in Tokyo do you work?" I looked at them curiously and asked, "Does it have a lot of budget investment?"
“Is there a professional studio, director, makeup artist, prop master and photographer?”
"Also, the usual diet——"
"Stop!" Gojo Kiri paused and said dissatisfiedly, "We agreed to ask each other questions, but Yuri-chan, why did you ask us so many questions in one breath? This is not fair at all!"
"At least we have to wait until we have asked everyone before we can come back to your side."
I:"........"
Ah, maybe it's because I have already sensed that there might be such a noisy person in my life, so I named my social nickname "Angry Octopus Sister".
"Then when I asked you to ask, you didn't say anything. Who can you blame?" I drank the drink that was served to me, put it on the table with a "pop" sound, turned to look at Xia Youjie, and said, "Teacher, you ask first!"
