Northbound Love: ... Luck
I did get a personality-reversal drug given to me by Xiaoxiao back then, which caused a drastic change in my personality. But this time is different. This time, I've really developed feelings for Xiaoxiao. The white-haired, red-eyed hot girl wants to explain but doesn't know how to start.
Scalp numbness.
"Kaho, you've really misunderstood."
Halfway through her sentence, she was suddenly pulled by Xing, who kept giving her meaningful glances. Bei Shang Ai belatedly realized, why should she explain? Wasn't she here to find Jia Sui to get her to join her? This was a great opportunity.
So Bei Shang'ai immediately changed her attitude, from being resolute at the beginning to being surprised and uncertain, and then gradually turning into hesitation and trepidation. "Control? Is this kind of thing possible? It's impossible. I am who I am. How could my personality change so drastically?"
"Mu Xiaoxiao is really weird. You and Xingke both suffered at his hands, so he can definitely do it!" Jiahui bit her finger, her face full of anxiety. "You just don't realize it. That person is really dangerous. We shouldn't have provoked him in the first place."
“Jiahui, you’re overthinking it. ... I think you’ve misunderstood. Xiaoxiao is a good person and wouldn’t do such a thing,” Kitakami Ai hesitated for a moment, “Although I have indeed felt a little uneasy and strange these days, and sometimes my heart palpitates for no reason.”
Xing was dumbfounded. This wasn't something planned beforehand; it was entirely Xiao Bei's improvisation. She never expected her to perform so well. No, Xiao Bei, you acted so convincingly! How come I never noticed how good your acting was before? It's a real shame you're not an actress.
Looking at Kaho again, she was indeed led astray by Kitakami Ai.
"That's it!" Jia Sui clapped her hands, confirming it. "Xiao Bei, you've been controlled by Mu Xiaoxiao! That girl actually did something so outrageous! Don't worry, I'll go find Mu Xiaoxiao and find a way to get you back to normal!"
"But, if what Jiahui said is true, wouldn't it be dangerous to go directly to Xiaoxiao?" Kitakami blinked. "Maybe we should just forget about it. Anyway, I quite like my current life..."
"How can this be? You're not the real Xiao Bei right now. Besides, you're my good friends. How can I just stand by and watch you fall into this trap? No matter what, I will rescue you and bring you back to normal! As for my safety, don't worry. I definitely won't be so reckless as to confront him."
Jia Sui had already made up her mind. She was determined to save Xiao Bei and Xing and get them out of their misery. Alas, they had been controlled by that terrible demon king Mu Xiao Xiao, and their bodies and minds had been wantonly played with by him. They were so pitiful. They must have been living a miserable life during this time.
That guy toyed with me in every level...
Despite suffering terrible physical and mental torment, she still spoke up for him. Jia Sui's eyes were filled with determination; even if it meant sacrificing herself, she would find a way to help her two best friends escape.
Seeing Jia Sui lost in her own imagination, Xing smiled shyly and exchanged glances with Xiao Bei. She hadn't expected Jia Sui to be so good at imagining things and to fall for it so easily. It was quite touching to think that Jia Sui was willing to go to such lengths for her sister.
While she was in the bathroom, Xing Ruo, who had been angry for a long time, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Xiao Bei, you're so mean. You deliberately led Jia Sui to think in that direction. If I didn't know the truth, I would have been deceived by your acting skills too."
vinegar.
"After all, I was actually given personality-contrast drugs when I was little," Kitakami Ai chuckled. Back then, she was even jealous. "However, I suddenly feel sorry for Kaho, especially since she's willing to go to such lengths for us." Fortunately, she has a bit of an internal illness.
"Don't overthink it. Getting her on board is the best way to repay us. She might even thank us later. But before that, we might have to bear her wrath. She'll definitely go crazy when Jia Sui finds out the truth."
Kitakami Ai said softly, even so she didn't intend to go back on her word. As for Jia Sui's complaints, she would just give in to her more in bed later.
"Fortunately, we'll leave her Xiaoxiao's contact information later, so we won't have to do anything else. Jia Sui will figure out a way to get close to Xiaoxiao herself." "Should we tell Xiaoxiao about this?"
"Of course not, it wouldn't be fun to tell Xiaoxiao."
Xiao Bei, how come you still have your funny side? Your laughter is so funny!
Chapter 269 Something's Wrong with Kaho
Jia Sui was determined to rescue her best friend from that terrible guy, Mu Xiaoxiao, but she hadn't figured out exactly how. The girl lay on her bed in her room, lazily swinging her legs and looking at the Line icon on her phone screen, making conflicted noises.
What should we do?
Thinking back to the bullying of Mu Xiaoxiao at school, they treated him like a fish on a chopping board, kicking him mercilessly. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
Even Xiao Bei was slapped by that person. Thinking of how the once unyielding Bei Shang Ai had now become a well-behaved girl, Jia Sui, lying on the bed, couldn't help but shiver.
A nameless fear arose in her heart. "But Xiao Bei and Xing are my good friends, and I have to save them... So if I can't go to Mu Xiaoxiao, I can try to get on good terms with him first."
With an idea gradually forming in her mind, the blue-haired girl with a ponytail clenched her small fist and looked at her LINE friends on her phone. It showed the contact information for Mu Xiaoxiao that Bei Shangai and the others had sent her. Jia Sui repeatedly typed out a sentence on her phone and then deleted it. After hesitating for a few minutes, she finally sent it.
"Is that Mu Xiaoxiao?"
The moment the message was actually sent, her heart pounded in her chest. She felt like an innocent young man chatting with his goddess, cautious and uneasy. Especially when Jia Sui saw that her message had been marked as "read," she held her breath, wondering how Mu Xiaoxiao would reply and how she should continue the conversation.
And then, that was it.
There was no reply from the other end. Looking at the bright "read" message on Line, Jia Sui gradually went from being nervous to silent, and now she was gloomy and annoyed, her face full of black lines. She was no longer nervous, but angry.
I feel my nose is a little red, like a clown.
Are you kidding me?! What does it mean that guy reads but doesn't reply?!
Jiahui screamed in frustration, seemingly mistaking the pillow in front of her for that hateful guy. She punched him repeatedly with her small fists, and only felt slightly relieved after venting her anger. She wondered whether she should continue the conversation when the reply came.
I was busy with other things just now, sorry. It's quite rare for Jiahui to reach out to me first.
This guy's words were truly insincere. After fiddling with his phone for a while, the blue-haired ponytail let out a soft hum, but his fingers were not slow. "It's okay, I just suddenly bothered you... because I have something very important to talk to you about. Mu Jun, do you have time this afternoon? I'd like to meet with you to discuss it."
Afternoon? Sure.
He agreed so readily? It was unexpectedly simple, much easier than I'd imagined. "This Mu Jun is surprisingly easy to talk to. Maybe I'm just quite charming?"
Although she's a hot girl, Jia Sui knows she's also a cute and pretty girl. Getting close to a boy would be a piece of cake for her, right? Just as she pouted and started to feel narcissistic in front of the mirror, she suddenly remembered that Mu Xiaoxiao had controlled Xing and Xiao Bei and played with them.
However, the trio who bullied him back then only targeted Koki and Sachi, leaving him out. Kaho's face darkened again. Were they completely ignoring my existence? Is my charm really inferior to Koki and the others?
I'm so cute!
The girl with the blue ponytail started to lose her way.
Meanwhile, Mu Xiaoxiao, with Xingli's help, got dressed. He didn't say anything, but he was indeed busy with other things. Judging from Sicheng Xingli's rosy face and the way she was licking her lips, he knew what she had been doing.
"Is Jia Sui looking for me with something important? It's not a confession, is it?" Mu Xiaoxiao took the phone from Xingli and looked at the chat history with a strange expression. "I really don't have much communication with this hot girl. Xiao Bei made me add her on Line."
He was joking, of course. A confession was probably out of the question. But then again, although it wasn't a confession, Mu Xiaoxiao was indeed smitten with this girl to some extent. Mu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to know about this, and neither did Bei Shangai and the others tell their lovers.
"You'll know when we meet," Xingli helped him get dressed. This proud and sharp-tongued maid was becoming more and more like a person, or rather, she was becoming more and more coquettish. In front of Mu Xiaoxiao, she said, "Should we take Otome and the others with us? Xiaoxiao, didn't Otome and the others say they wanted to keep an eye on you?"
The silver-haired maid smiled. She knew that Mu Xiaoxiao hadn't been peeking at the chat history, but rather that Mu Xiaoxiao was the one who replied. Mu Xiaoxiao had been busy injecting life energy into her and hadn't had time to type, so Xingli used Xiaoxiao's phone to help reply.
As a maid, she, like Tsubaki Rurikawa, also gained the right to manage Mu Xiaoxiao's phone, and helping her send messages or answer calls was routine. "I'll go by myself, Anri, you don't need to come with me," Mu Xiaoxiao said after getting dressed. "I have a feeling this has something to do with Xiaobei and the others, so I'll just use the Anywhere Door to go out."
“Okay, I’ll keep Otome and the others occupied for a while, and…” She stroked the boy’s eyelashes and straightened Mu Xiaoxiao’s collar, “You need to dress up nicely before going on a date with a girl, Xiaoxiao.”
So this turned into a date?
Mu Xiaoxiao really wanted to complain, but she couldn't win against Sicheng Xingli. Don't underestimate her just because she's a maid. She's a very trendy girl. When she was a maid at the Xingfuji family, her maid identity was never exposed. She had a completely different persona at school.
Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao became almost like a puppet, letting Xingli manipulate her body at will.
The meeting place they arranged was strange; it wasn't a shopping mall or a park in the city center that couples would usually choose, but a rather secluded riverside slope. Of course, Mu Xiaoxiao and Jia Sui weren't actually a couple.
The blue-haired girl standing at the bridgehead, dressed in a short skirt, stood there prettily, letting the wind blow her bangs and ponytail. She had a delicate and charming air about her. She looked at the few little girls playing on the grassy slope by the river, but she was not relaxed at all, and her face was full of seriousness.
When Mu Xiaoxiao appeared, the stern look on the girl's face vanished instantly, replaced by a gentle smile. Her natural expression made it impossible to discern her true thoughts.
"Mu Jun, over here..."
To be honest, Jia Sui had ulterior motives for meeting Mu Xiaoxiao in private this time, but even so, she was still shocked when she actually saw Mu Xiaoxiao. This girl's charm is really exaggerated. Even just standing there, she attracts the attention of those around her. Her presence is too strong, and her temperament is also very special. Now that she has dressed up, she has become even more attractive to the opposite sex.
It has to be said that there is a reason why he is so popular with girls at school and openly builds a harem. This evolved charm that surpasses that of humans almost made Jia Sui lose her Dao heart and nearly forget her true self.
However, the blue-haired girl didn't know that Mu Xiaoxiao's large harem wasn't due to his appearance...
"Jia Sui, I didn't expect you to come looking for me so suddenly. It's quite a surprise," Mu Xiaoxiao waved and greeted her as she approached, smiling. "Can't I come to you, Mu Jun?" Jia Sui awkwardly looked away from his face, trying to hide the embarrassment of almost losing focus. "Jia Sui, calm down! Don't let his handsome appearance fool you; he's actually a dangerous devil."
Even Xiao Bei and Xing have fallen for it, so you need to be even more vigilant!
"I've heard about it. Xiao Bei and Xing have been getting quite close to you lately," Jia Sui said in a low voice. The girl stood beside Mu Xiaoxiao, playing with a strand of hair behind her ear while glancing at him every now and then. "They can be close to you, but I can't?"
After she finished speaking, the girl's cheeks flushed, and a blush rose to her face.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little confused. What was going on? She didn't seem like she was going to confess her feelings, but she was saying she wanted to get closer to me. She didn't understand. "Well, Jia Sui, we haven't had much contact, have we?"
"Xiao Bei and the others are the same, aren't they? Do you two have frequent contact?" Jia Sui asked casually, then added, "And back then we even blamed Ling for what happened, and you still..."
"You know you bullied me, huh?" Mu Xiaoxiao muttered with a forced smile. Seeing his expression, Jia Sui lowered her head inexplicably, and seemed to feel guilty as she spoke softly.
"I'm sorry, we really went too far that time..."
Something's not right, something's really not right. When did this hot girl become so well-behaved? She even apologized? You know, none of these hot girls are simple people. If she recognized her mistake so easily, Feng and Qianhe wouldn't have such a headache.
Xiao Bei went through a lot of things back then, and it was all by accident that she won over the girl, and luckily, it was also because she was rescued by a hero.
Even so, their nature has not changed. They only show their gentle side in front of Mu Xiaoxiao, whom they like, while they are still arrogant and domineering in front of outsiders. Now, this classmate Jia Sui suddenly said something, and for some reason, she showed a girlish shyness, which made Mu Xiaoxiao very confused.
If Xing were here to see this scene, she would definitely complain that Jia Sui's acting skills are no worse than Xiao Bei's. She clearly had ulterior motives in getting close to Mu Xiao Xiao, but she could still act so convincingly that anyone who didn't know better would really think she had reformed.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't see through the girl's disguise, but that didn't matter. He had his own methods. Right now, this girl was acting too strangely, so he had to use his trump card.
"It's okay. I don't care about what happened back then. Anyway, Xiao Bei and Xing have already made amends to me."
"But I haven't made it up to you yet, have I? Mu Jun, I also need to apologize to you and make it up to you."
No, I can't take it anymore. I have to figure out what's wrong with this girl. She's too strange. Mu Xiaoxiao quickly took out the mind-reading helmet from her system backpack. "Jia Sui, it's too hot. I'd like to wear a hat. You don't mind, do you?"
Chapter 270 Interactions
Reading the heart, Sheng was slapped by Mu Xiaoxiao, leaving Jia Sui dumbfounded.
Where did he pull that huge thing out of? Wait, you're telling me this is a hat? This is clearly a bizarrely shaped helmet! Why are there people like this in the world, wearing this kind of cosplay prop with girls?!
The moment Mu Xiaoxiao put on the mind-reading helmet, Jia Sui's thoughts appeared in Mu Xiaoxiao's ears without reservation, and her secrets were also exposed in front of the mind-reading helmet. Of course, in addition to her, the voices of passers-by nearby were also heard. Mu Xiaoxiao casually glanced at them and ignored them, focusing on eavesdropping on the privacy of the girl in front of her.
Ke Ling's classmate, Jia Sui, was unaware that her secret had been completely exposed to Mu Xiaoxiao. She was still immersed in the thought, "Even if this guy is charming, wearing these weird props will greatly diminish his charm and make him look like a weirdo. What should I do? So embarrassing!"
Mu Xiaoxiao: ? ? ?
"So what if he's weird? I'm used to it. Compared to the helmet's capabilities, this little flaw is nothing." Mu Xiaoxiao smiled calmly, "Jiahui, will it look bad? If you're embarrassed, can we break up? It's the same if we say it on Line."
"Misunderstanding? No, no, actually... there are often people dressed strangely on the streets of Tokyo. You get used to it, it's fine with me."
【How could I let him leave? There's no other way. For Xiao Bei and Xing's sake, I have to endure it no matter how shameful it is.】 Xiao Bei? Xing? Are they related?
"Kaho-san, you told me you have something very important to say... what is it?"
Jia Sui suppressed the burning sensation in her cheeks and the soaring heart rate, "You can just call me by my name, no need to add 'classmate'. Um... I came to see you, Mu Jun, for one reason: I've been feeling guilty and regretful these past few days for bullying you back then."
[I deeply regret it. I shouldn't have provoked that big devil in the first place. Now Xiao Bei and Xing are in such a miserable state.] Mu Xiaoxiao: ???
What's wrong with them now?
"So I want to apologize to you in person. If possible, I... I want to make up with you and become friends. Is that okay?" "Friends?"
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the girl's pretty face with a strange expression.
Whether out of guilt or shyness, Jia Sui avoided Mu Xiaoxiao's gaze, lowered her head, and whispered, "We can be lovers, if not friends."
what?
Is he really confessing his feelings? Wait, something's not right.
[This is my first time confessing my feelings! But then again, even though I confessed to this guy to help Xiaobei and the others escape his clutches, he's still pretty handsome, so I guess I didn't lose out... Ahhhh, what are you thinking, Jiahui? Don't surrender before you do!]
"I don't know why, but I've suddenly become very concerned about you... I've been paying attention to you these past few days, and when I heard that Xiao Bei and Xing's relationship with you was quite unusual..."
I'm incredibly jealous, that's why I reached out to you... It was wrong of me to bully your gentle and kind nature before. You can punish me however you want, just don't provoke me...
If these words were spoken to any other man, who could resist? Even Mu Xiaoxiao, if he hadn't been wearing the mind-reading helmet, would have fallen for it. [If I could become Mu Xiaoxiao's girlfriend, I'd have a way to access his secrets, and thus a way to help Xiaobei and the others return to normal. This method is at least much safer... Although it might involve sacrificing a little of myself, compared to Xiaobei and Xing's lives and futures, such a sacrifice is nothing. Besides, I wouldn't lose out. Ah!]
"Mo Jun?"
After confessing her feelings, seeing him standing motionless, seemingly lost in thought, the girl couldn't help but wake him up. Mu Xiaoxiao adjusted the mind-reading helmet on her head, gazed deeply at the girl clinging to her beside her, and suppressed the twitching of her facial muscles, forcing a smile.
"Kaho, you actually confessed to me..." She sneered inwardly. If it weren't for her mind-reading helmet, she would have almost believed her nonsense! You women are so pathetic!
But Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't get angry. This girl actually misunderstood that I controlled Xiao Bei and Xing? Going to such lengths for a friend, should I say you're not normal, or is it just sisterly affection? No wonder Bei Shang Ai and Xing were so secretive before, and didn't explain things to me clearly.
So they already knew all along, no, maybe this was the result they orchestrated.
Is he going to reject me? What if he does? Should I keep pursuing him or just remain friends?
Listening to the girl's frantically racing thoughts, Mu Xiaoxiao tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth, and sighed in a deliberately deep and even regretful manner. She enjoyed the girl's nervous expression and waited until she had built up the girl's emotions before speaking in a deep voice, "Jiahui, I'm sorry."
The girl's heart sank instantly.
I don't actually have those kinds of feelings for you. Of the three of you, I still prefer Xiao Bei and Xing. I didn't expect you to confess to me. Sigh... In other words, I won't be controlled by him like Xiao Bei, and I won't be controlled by Mu Xiaoxiao, the Great Demon King. This is clearly a good thing, but why am I so unhappy? What do you mean by liking Xiao Bei and the others more? Am I not as good as them?
I'm furious!
“However,” Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t give the girl time to think, and immediately changed the subject, staring intently at her face, “I was surprised to find that Jiawen is also a gentle girl. She is gentle and beautiful, responsible, and cares about her friends. I believe that you must be very kind at heart. Although you bullied me and you are a hot girl, you are a good girl.”
Something about that doesn't sound quite right. But under Mu Xiaoxiao's affectionate gaze, which seemed to look at a dog with such tenderness, the blue-haired girl with the ponytail blushed and her heart skipped a beat for no reason. "No, no, I'm not as good as you say."
She was genuinely embarrassed.
"So dating is no problem, Kaho. You're a very charming girl. I'm already a little attracted to you. I'd be honored to have such a beautiful girlfriend."
