Chapter 6: The All-Seeing Seventh Sense
Suzuki Sonoko is not a female ghost, nor a vampire, nor a perverted murderer.
Ximen Sojiro tried again and again to explain to Daomingsi that what happened that day was a coincidence, but he actually couldn't quite understand how deep a shadow the scene of that day left in the mind of the elementary school student Daomingsi.
Daomingsi has been afraid of two people since he was a child, one is his sister and the other is his mother. The latter is ten times more terrifying than the former.
Most of his wrong impressions of the Suzuki family came from Daomingsi Feng.
——It’s what was mentioned earlier, the two companies are always compared. Daoming Si Feng himself doesn’t care about this kind of thing, but group labeling is actually not conducive to development.
Specifically, in recent years, some interesting patents developed by college students mostly ended up in the hands of the Suzuki family. Those young people who had just entered society seemed to be afraid that the Daomingsi family would kill them if they took their things, so they didn't even consider them.
Daoming Si Feng's aura was very fierce, fierce and cold, but when he sneered, he looked gentle and dignified, which scared Daoming Si so much that he couldn't even hold a knife and fork.
And under Daoming Si Feng's angry expression that seemed to be mocking, he remembered the sentence "Do you think Suzuki is a good person? How can a good person make money without losing money? Do these kids know what kind of people are under the skin of that family?"
Although Daomingsi hated his mother, he always trusted her judgment.
So after being afraid of his mother and his sister, he was also subtly a little scared of the surname "Suzuki".
——Although that woman seemed to be bewildered by Sojiro’s teasing, as long as she was from the Suzuki family, there must be something wrong with her!
In fact, even Ximen Sojiro himself felt that things were going too smoothly.
Miss Suzuki's innocence is almost obvious at a glance. She is simply a natural flatterer. Although she is very good at misleading other people's thoughts due to logical problems, she is also genuine and catches people off guard.
Ximen Sojiro had a date that left a very deep impression on him, which took place at an amusement park.
On that day, he accompanied the young lady and stood out from the crowd in a kindergarten team that was organizing an autumn outing. They lined up with a group of young children wearing yellow hats to ride bumper cars.
Ximen was quite embarrassed at the time, but he didn't have time to feel embarrassed for long, because after a while, Miss Suzuki Sonoko, without paying any attention to the people around her, started arguing with a little fat boy who just reached her thigh about the question of "who is cuter, cats or dogs?"
In fact, quarreling with children is a very childish and tasteless thing, but surprisingly, Ximen Sojiro did not feel much incongruity when he was trying to stop the fight. Even his mood at that time was no different from when he usually tried to persuade Daomingsi not to get angry. He just felt that the actions of the two people rolling up their sleeves when they were angry were exactly the same.
Then they officially made an appointment to fight.
When choosing the bumper cars, Ximen wanted to sit with Sonoko. After all, they were on a blind date. But as soon as he lifted his leg, Miss Suzuki plopped down on the steering wheel and asked, "Aren't you a judge? Why are you getting in the car?"
Ximen Sojiro sighed in confusion, thinking to himself, what the hell are the judges?
Then, Yuanzi seemed to understand something and patted his shoulder earnestly, "Don't worry, you don't have to help me cheat. Even if I'm not a professional, I can beat an elementary school student in a matter of minutes!"
"Who are you calling an elementary school student?"
The fat boy slammed the car door indignantly: "Am I that old?!"
After saying that, he snorted and then warned Ximen in a particularly imposing manner: "Don't think that being a judge means you can be partial. If you make an unfair judgment, I will kick you out!"
Ximen listened for a long time with a frown on his face, his mind filled with confusing thoughts like "Are there professional bumper cars?", "What's there to be proud of about beating an elementary school student?", "No, that elementary school student is calling me old," and "How do you get the referee kicked out of a bumper car race? Just a head-on collision?" He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Then he inexplicably drove a green car and came on stage as a judge.
The little fat guy was obviously an expert who had been hanging out in the bumper car park for many years. However, the size of the bumper car was extremely unfriendly to adults. Suzuki Sonoko could only tuck her legs in, and not only could she not step on the accelerator, it also interfered with her arms from moving the steering wheel.
With such equal strength, the battle seemed to be very intense as they bumped into each other!
Since their first date, Ximen Sojiro had never forgotten that he was half a "job applicant", but at this moment, he had no time to worry about whether to pay attention to Miss Suzuki's mood - first of all, he had to find Miss Suzuki, who was hit by the elementary school students and was disoriented, from among the row of colorful flashing cars.
Speaking of flexibility, Simon has the longest legs among all the drivers in the pool, so driving is particularly difficult for him. If he makes a wrong turn, he feels like both he and the car will overturn.
Over there, the old fat driver swaggered to his left, rubbing his chest with one hand in grief, and sighed to the sky: "You are such a loser, how can you be a referee? You can't even catch up with the driver!"
Ximen Sojiro frantically twisted to the side, trying to roll over and steady himself.
The fat guy was busy with his own drama, and now he seemed to be possessed by Dugu Qiubai. He retreated into the car with a serious and sad expression, sighing: "If I had known you were this level, why would I give in? Even if the two of you were put together, you still can't beat me..."
After sighing, he began to turn the steering wheel, apparently preparing to drive the judges off the stage.
The veins on Ximen's forehead were throbbing. In the delicate balance of half the car body tilted up, he roared at the child fiercely: "Calm down! Don't hit me! How dare you, little brat!"
"Haha," Fatty stepped on the accelerator with his eyes shining, and laughed three times like the Kamen Rider on TV: "Why wouldn't I dare?"
"Little brat, you—"
There was a loud bang.
Ximen Sojiro opened his eyes in fear, stretched his trembling arms out of the car window, carefully supported himself on the ground, and straightened himself and the car.
One meter away, Miss Suzuki Sonoko panted and pushed the elementary school student away, then gave him a thumbs up with great pride.
"Are you okay?"
For a moment, Simon was actually struck by her handsomeness.
"I'm glad you're okay."
Yuanzi rubbed the seat to turn the car's front and plunged into the "sea of cars" without hesitation.
The second half of the game was more chaotic. The fat guy was very good at taunting, but he seemed to prefer taunting Ximen rather than taunting Yuanzi.
Because he was flexible enough and often fearlessly did various circles in the venue, just when Ximen was about to lose his temper because of this kid, Suzuki Sonoko drove away.
She gave up turning and just drove in a straight line, crashing into whoever was in front of her. Although this effectively changed the status quo of the game, it obviously angered everyone.
So while Ximen Sojiro was trying to calm his anger and maintain his composure, she and the fat boy were besieged together.
The red and yellow cars were pitifully stuck in the corner, and the kindergarten kids sitting in the cars were yelling like zombies about to surround a city.
In the blink of an eye, just as the two men were about to be pushed against the wall, a green bumper car came in from the side and drove in a straight line.
It accurately positioned the angle, stopping several cars that were about to move forward halfway. Once there was a blockage in front, the bumper cars behind collided with each other one after another. Within a minute, the venue was in chaos again.
The green car is the hero!
When Ximen Sojiro came out of the checkpoint, his whole body was filled with a sense of pride that he had turned over a new leaf: these elementary school students really don't take adults seriously!
Fatty followed him blankly, admitting with a complicated expression, "He's really handsome..."
Miss Suzuki Sonoko was standing next to him, clapping enthusiastically and cooperating with him. She looked as excited as if Ximen was a general who had just returned from a great victory and had fought off thousands of elite soldiers instead of a group of elementary school students riding bumper cars.
That look is very typical.
Ximen Sojiro has always known that he is very good, but the strange thing about Suzuki Sonoko is that she can easily make Ximen have the illusion that "he may be a hundred times better than he imagined."
==========
But as Daomingsi forcibly speculated from a bunch of strange rumors, Suzuki Sonoko's personality does have some problems.
Although she has recovered, she still has a bit of philosophical nature in her heart. She would be easily stunned when she saw a good-looking person. Fortunately, the feeling of liking someone came and went quickly, and the opportunity for her to change her heart was very unpredictable. She was the type who was easily fooled by beauty, but would never be fooled for long.
Over the years, she would fall in love with someone at any time - some of them she had never even interacted with, so her lovers changed like a revolving lantern, and she would never think of anyone who was replaced a second time.
In Sonoko's own words, this is not called changing one's heart, this is enlightenment. Her all-seeing seventh sense told her before she got stuck in the mud that those were not her true love.
The sooner you realize it, the better you can stop the loss!
For more than a decade, there have been only two exceptions: Ran Mouri, whom she has always liked, and Shinichi Kudo, whom she has always hated.
One sunny afternoon, Xiaolan sat in a booth in a cafe, boredly watching Suzuki Sonoko sending emails with her cheeks puffed out.
Ten minutes later, the young detective who went to the front desk to fetch drinks sat down, leaned back on the leather cushion and yawned quite casually. He drooped his eyes and glanced at someone who was about to be drowned by pink bubbles, and smacked his lips in disgust.
"Who does she fancy now?"
Kudo Shinichi watched her fingers moving up and down the screen, and for a moment he felt a sense of inexplicable surprise and emotion: "After ten years of true love from a distance, we've actually evolved to the point where we can even email each other..."
Yuanzi's eyes never left the screen, and she found time to retort, "Who are you calling true love from a distance?"
Ximen Sojiro was texting her about the English and German exam week.
Among them were Daomingsi, who walked into the wrong classroom and got angry with the teacher, Huaze Rui, who slept through the entire exam, and Mimasaka Rei, who turned in her paper late and ended up falling for the trainee teacher who collected the papers - and most importantly, Ximen Sojiro himself, who did not cause any trouble at all and therefore achieved excellent results.
The last selfie he sent was very handsome. The report card that was said to be able to put him in the top ten in the grade did not even take up one tenth of the screen. Fortunately, Suzuki Sonoko's mind was full of how handsome this guy was, and she didn't intend to pay much attention to the grades.
With a dull thud, Kudo Shinichi dropped the sports magazine in front of her. Under Sonoko's questioning gaze, "Are you sick?", he raised his hand to cover the fluorescent screen of his phone and lectured her, "What are you looking down at while eating? If you choke to death, I'll have to send you to the hospital..."
Sonoko usually doesn't answer Kudo Shinichi's questions, let alone this kind of nitpicking that comes with a curse. But since Xiaolan also showed a curious look, she hesitated for a second reluctantly and handed the phone directly to Xiaolan.
"It's really beautiful..."
“Right!”
Sonoko stroked her chest with her hand and sighed, "When it comes to being handsome, facial features and figure are important, but aura is equally important. Some people may not be very delicate in appearance, but they have that aura that makes you subconsciously think they are very handsome when you see them. As for Sojiro..."
She looked back at the real person and cheerfully declared, "He's the type with both good looks and aura. He looks handsome, and he feels even more handsome!"
"Is that so?" Kudo Shinichi glanced lazily and said in a long tone, "Then I hope his handsomeness is really outstanding enough to keep your passion alive for three months."
——From his observation, among the one hundred or so lovers that Suzuki Sonoko had over the years, none of them lasted more than three months.
Even the little girl is not so diligent in changing her dolls!
"Don't worry about that," Sonoko said cheerfully, snapping a bunch of photos of the desserts as a reply. "Sojiro's situation is different from the previous ones."
Since she said so, Xiaolan followed her usual logic and made some guesses.
"…Is it because he's unprecedentedly handsome?"
"Of course not."
Yuanzi shook her phone nonchalantly and explained, "Because this isn't a relationship, it's a blind date. Whether I like him or not doesn't prevent me from marrying him. As long as we work well together, even if we can't be husband and wife... we can still be best friends."
The author has something to say: Checking in on the sixth day of daily updates.
Once again, I emphasize that the heroine is not in love and has no feelings, her face has a shelf life, and her fiancé is just there to cause tragedy.
By the way, Daomingsi and Shancai will not be separated.
