Yukino Yukinoshita was startled for a moment, then looked at Su Rui, knowing that Su Rui, who was somewhat inconvenienced by Shizuka Hiratsuka's restrictions, nodded to her before she sat down rather reservedly and carefully picked up a pastry.
Soon, Yukinoshita Haruno also called the apartment manager and police officers, opened room 301 opposite Yukino Yukinoshita, and pulled out the unconscious woman inside.
However, Su Rui had said that after the resentment disappeared, the person inside would soon wake up. The girl woke up before being taken for treatment, and then saw Su Rui sitting on the living room sofa, bandaged.
Su Rui also glanced at her. For some reason, the OL woman with orange-red hair tied in a ponytail immediately turned beet red as if she had seen something adorable. She bowed to him, thanked the people around her, and scurried back to her room.
"...What's wrong with her? Did you do something unnecessary?"
Su Rui was a little strange and looked up at Shizuka Hiratsuka in confusion, but saw her covering her mouth and nose, looking so moved that she couldn't speak.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Rui casually turned off his phone screen and saw his current appearance in the black reflection.
The handsome young man's face was bandaged, with one eye covered by the bandage, which, combined with Su Rui's somewhat indifferent demeanor, made him look like a cute, sickly beautiful young man.
Su Rui was silent for a moment, then reached out to remove the bandage. He was a powerful cultivator; how could such a sickly image suit him?
But Shizuka Hiratsuka subconsciously reached out to stop him, then took out her phone:
"Don't rush, don't rush! Let me take a few photos, just a few, I promise I won't spread them."
As she spoke, Shizuka Hiratsuka took out her phone, and then Yukino Yukinoshita, who was sitting opposite Su Rui, was also influenced. She took out her phone from her pocket and looked at Su Rui with expectant eyes:
"Excuse me, can I also take a photo? I promise I won't spread it."
'Mr. Su Rui before me is like a small cat, injured and obediently accepting care, licking his wounds.'
Yukino Yukinoshita was actually so excited that she was almost having a nosebleed, but fortunately, her personality allowed her to maintain a cold expression out of habit. Only the blush on her cheeks and the act of taking out her phone completely exposed her emotions.
"Go ahead and take it, but don't spread it."
Su Rui crossed his arms, somewhat resistant, but since he had already agreed to Shizuka Hiratsuka, letting Yukino Yukinoshita take one too wasn't a big deal.
Shizuka Hiratsuka was very excited, circling Su Rui and taking many photos from various angles. The camera's shutter clicked like a drumbeat.
Yukino Yukinoshita, however, was very restrained. The girl truly did as she said, choosing only one suitable angle and taking what she considered a perfect photo, then contentedly put away her phone.
(Note: In Japan, due to rampant candid photography, all phones are forced to have the shutter sound on and cannot be turned off. Su Rui used this to determine how many photos they took.)
Soon, Yukinoshita Haruno also returned after finishing her business. Seeing Su Rui sitting on the sofa dressed as a sickly beautiful young man, and noticing her, he looked at her, and she couldn't help but show an excited expression as if she was having a heart attack.
However, Yukinoshita Haruno recovered very quickly. In just an instant, her expression changed to a smile. She closed the door and gracefully walked towards Su Rui:
"Excuse me, can I take a photo? I promise I won't spread it."
"Only one photo."
Su Rui rolled his eyes and no longer deliberately put down his phone to let Yukinoshita Haruno take photos casually like Yukino Yukinoshita and Shizuka Hiratsuka. Instead, he held his phone, browsing while waiting for her to finish taking photos.
However, this Su Rui, rather than sitting still and obediently waiting for photos, had a bit more of a lively aura. Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't explain it, but she felt she couldn't miss it, so she took out her phone and started circling Su Rui to take photos again.
Yukino Yukinoshita looked enviously at her sister and Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, but still didn't take out her phone.
Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka could do this because of her relationship with Mr. Su Rui. Although she didn't have many friends, Yukino Yukinoshita could still see this point.
"Alright, I should go back."
Seeing them finish taking photos, Su Rui directly reached out and removed the bandages, casually throwing them into the trash can, and stood up from the sofa.
"Could you please wait a moment?" Yukinoshita Haruno called out to Su Rui, taking out her phone and approaching him:
"Can I add your contact information? Between us, we might still be able to cooperate, or..."
She didn't finish the rest of her sentence, but Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes were full of hope as she looked at Su Rui, and she even deliberately bent over towards Su Rui, showcasing her ample assets.
'What a vulgar woman.' Yukino Yukinoshita looked disdainfully at her sister making such a fawning gesture, but her eyes also held a hint of envy. She bit her lip, clenching her hands on her knees, but still didn't gather the courage to speak.
Just as Yukino Yukinoshita felt that Su Rui would probably leave during her hesitation, the space beside her suddenly sank. The girl turned her head in alarm, and the handsome young man was sitting beside her.
Su Rui had just been reminded by Shizuka Hiratsuka. He sat there, took out his phone, and looked at Yukino Yukinoshita: "Where's your contact information? Let's exchange."
He didn't ask for permission. In this situation, being a bit more assertive was the right approach.
Su Rui watched as the black-haired girl's cheeks gradually flushed, then she lowered her head and exchanged contact information with him.
"Okay, then Su Rui and I are leaving. Be careful."
Shizuka Hiratsuka watched Su Rui stand up, immediately wrapped her arm around his, and then greeted the Yukinoshita sisters.
"I'll drive you."
After all, they were brought by Yukinoshita Haruno, so she would naturally drive them back. As they were leaving, Yukinoshita Haruno also pulled her younger sister, winking at her clumsy sister:
"Hurry up, or you'll be left behind."
Reminded, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly stood up and followed behind Yukinoshita Haruno, walking downstairs together.
Yukinoshita Haruno was driving, Yukino was in the passenger seat, and Shizuka Hiratsuka was leaning against Su Rui in the back seat, chatting leisurely.
"Speaking of which, what kind of things might be related to evil spirits? Do we ordinary people have a way to identify them?"
"Don't get close to anything that makes you uncomfortable, no matter the reason. Ordinary people have no other way."
Su Rui casually answered Shizuka Hiratsuka's question, and Yukinoshita Haruno, who was driving in the front, also interjected appropriately:
"But, things like black cats, which are considered ominous, should definitely be avoided, right?"
"Not necessarily. Black cats are only considered ominous here. In China, black cats guard homes, yellow-eyed cats bring wealth, and green-eyed cats guard homes."
