Chapter 312: Chapter 232. It’s great that you’re fine (8000 words achieved!)

Due to the arrival of Nakajima Michika’s parents tomorrow, Beichuan Si also had Michika and Beichuan Huili tidy up their cluttered living room once more.

He then thought about going out to buy some tea.

Because of Beichuan Si’s interests and the growing number of visitors to his place recently, the consumption of tea had increased significantly, so he couldn’t help but go out.

However, as soon as he stepped out, Beichuan Si felt eyes watching him from the shadows.

These were probably men from the Nakajima Conglomerate.

It seemed they had only started surveilling the area in the past couple of days.

It appeared that Nakajima’s parents were not as indifferent towards her as Michika had claimed.

Beichuan Si didn’t bother with them and went on his way to the convenience store.

Upon leaving after making his purchase, two bodyguards in black suits stood outside the convenience store.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Beichuan?" the first bodyguard with a crew cut asked.

"Yes."

"Could we trouble you to come with us? Please rest assured, we are from the Nakajima Conglomerate, not any suspicious persons. Of course, if you don’t wish to come with us, we won’t force you. The decision is yours to make."

The two bodyguards stepped aside, giving him a look that said he could choose as he wished.

Seeing their respectful demeanor, Beichuan Si merely shook his head.

"Talking to me is of no use, it all depends on Miss Nakajima’s own thoughts."

After saying this, Beichuan Si walked away.

As previously mentioned, this matter concerned the Nakajima family’s internal affairs.

Beichuan Si would not interfere in other people’s family matters, nor did he have the time to meddle in the affairs of the Nakajima family.

If Michika could persuade the head of Nakajima, then Beichuan Si would continue to take care of her until his mission was concluded; if the head of Nakajima convinced Michika, Beichuan Si would send her away without a second word.

After all, this was a matter for another family, and he, an outsider, truly had no place to intervene between Michika and the Nakajima Conglomerate.

Watching Beichuan Si’s departing figure, the crew-cut bodyguard quickly made a call: "Sorry, Mr. Nakajima, we couldn’t persuade Mr. Beichuan."

"Okay, I understand. I’ll be right back."

He put away his phone, signaled to his colleague with his eyes, and they quickly disappeared into the vast night.

...

The next day, at Beichuan’s house.

"Huili, do I look alright like this?"

Wearing jeans and a pale pink shirt, Nakajima Michika stood in front of the full-length mirror in the living room, calling Beichuan Huili over to help her decide.

"...This is already the third outfit, Shihua," Beichuan Huili pinched the bridge of her nose and said helplessly.

Since Qianye Yuki would also be there today to witness the issue between Michika and her parents, she too had a day off to relax.

But it seemed that Michika had taken that day from her as well.

She was woken up early in the morning by Michika, and she had been watching her choose clothes ever since.

Choosing clothes was one thing, but Michika also wanted her to watch.

Watching wouldn’t have been a big deal either, but it seemed like Michika didn’t really care about her opinion; she just wanted someone to watch.

Yes, just watching. After looking, she would go back to her room to change into another outfit.

Yet, considering that Michika had always been a beloved pop star, Beichuan Huili didn’t fuss too much about it.

The two continued the monotonous process of changing clothes, Beichuan Huili commenting, changing clothes, Beichuan Huili commenting.

"Wearing anything should be fine, just keep a normal attitude. Shihua, please don’t be nervous," Qianye Yuki said a bit worriedly.

She was afraid that Michika would stir up trouble from being too nervous.

"Nervous?" Michika stopped while holding her clothes.

She looked at Qianye Yuki somewhat amusedly, "Yuki, are you underestimating me? You think I’m just a simple ’Salty Egg’?"

Michika’s androgynous face was filled with confidence: "Don’t forget, I am a top-tier singer who doesn’t flinch even when facing tens of thousands at the Budokan."

"..." Qianye Yuki.

"Let’s hope so," Qianye Yuki shook her head, tentatively trusting Michika’s claim.

Right then, Beichuan Si came over holding a teacup.

The cup and the small porcelain saucer looked very refined.

"Have some tea."

Beichuan Si handed the teacup to Michika.

"Yes!" Michika put down her clothes and took the teacup without changing her expression.

The tea inside splashed around, and several times it felt like it was about to spill.

"Aren’t you nervous?" Beichuan Si took the teacup back and took a sip before asking again.

"..." Michika.

Beichuan Si’s actions were akin to pinning her down and then stabbing her hard.

Qianye Yuki sighed without words before trying to give her friend an out: "...You can’t really blame Shihua, she hasn’t met Uncle Nakajima and Aunt Nakajima in nearly five years."

The more she spoke, the more tragic it felt.

Michika felt a bit aggrieved inside but did not know how to refute Qianye Yuki and Beichuan Si, so she just collapsed onto the sofa with a flop, staring at the ceiling contemplating life.

"Uncle Nakajima and Aunt Nakajima definitely want to see you, Shihua. Regardless, I don’t think you need to think too negatively about this," Qianye Yuki consoled.

"The thing that complicates me the most now is... I don’t even know what face to show them."
