"I understand. It's only Friday. It's supposed to be bustling here on Saturdays and Sundays, right?"
"Sometimes the noise can be quite annoying."
Akane Benizaka smiled, narrowed her wine-red eyes, and leaned back in her chair. Her whole aura suddenly changed, as if she was a queen sitting on the throne, controlling everything.
"Mr. Xiao, should we talk about something off topic?"
Chapter 636: Akane Benizaka lifts her legs
Off topic?
Bai Ye's hand on his leg suddenly tightened, and Kato Megumi frowned. Both of them keenly realized that the atmosphere was not right.
It was like someone took a stick and stirred a whirlpool downstream, causing many bubbles to appear suddenly. The bubbles burst and the splashing water made all the onlookers covered in dirty water, and no one was spared.
Knowing that frowning might reveal something, Kato Megumi immediately closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her expression had returned to normal. She turned to look at Bai Ye's reaction.
She did not forget the promise she made to Byakuya to solo Akane Benizaka.
"Something's wrong." Bai Ye quickly analyzed it in his mind.
According to the information he had, Iori Hatashima did not let Akane Agasaka know about the existence of "Flash Girl". Perhaps Iori Hatashima was waiting for an opportunity to sell "Flash Girl" at a high price.
"Since this isn't about 'Flash Girl', what is the off-topic topic that Akane Benizaka mentioned... Let's try to find out."
Bai Ye loosened his clenched hands, relaxed his whole body, and tried his best to make the other person look nonchalant.
"Off topic... President Hongsaka, would you like to try my products first? No problem. I'll have a box of each delivered tomorrow. Please, President Hongsaka, please do your best to speak well of me to the other members."
"Hmm... this is beside the point. Let me thank Mr. Xiao for his generosity on behalf of all the members."
Like Bai Ye, Hongzaka Akane was looking at the back of the chair, with her hands resting on the armrests. The curve of her burgundy lips was like a sickle-shaped blood moon, and she looked at Bai Ye with great interest.
"But what I want to talk about is not this digression."
"President Hongzaka, could you please explain it clearly?" Bai Ye kicked the ball back.
He would rather lower his posture than reveal the true purpose of this trip. The former would only bring shame, while the latter would mean losing the initiative.
The hand that was supporting her cheek turned to her forehead and she shook her head.
"Mr. Xiao is indeed a young and promising man, and his cunning is unfathomable."
Bai Ye wanted to be polite, but he saw that Hongzaka Akane relaxed her posture first, crossed her legs, and was full of confidence in her every move.
"No wonder he was able to recruit such an outstanding talent as Kasumi Shiko. However, being too cunning might annoy girls."
So the target is Shiyu?
Bai Ye's heart tightened, and for a moment he felt as if a devil was holding his heart.
But he still heard something else.
"It seems that Akane Benizaka doesn't know that Shiyu is my girlfriend. If Iori Hasima mentioned it, she should know about my relationship with Shiyu. So how did she know that Shiyu was in my club?"
Since the other party has launched an attack, why not fight back?
"It's just a luck that we go to the same school as Shiyu." Bai Ye used the nickname to show that he and Shiyu have a good relationship.
But the next second, he changed the subject and deliberately revealed a flaw.
He wanted to let Akane Benizaka know that his relationship with Shiyu was not unbreakable, and wanted to see how the other party would respond.
"I didn't expect President Benisaka to know about Shiyu's membership in my club. Shiyu had clearly warned me not to disclose this, but now she knows, she's going to complain again."
"Could you please tell me how you found out?"
It was just as Bai Ye thought. Hongzaka Akane didn't know much about the relationships among the people in the club. She felt a little proud after hearing the flaws that Bai Ye had revealed, but Bai Ye's constant caution still made her cautious.
but.
Hongzaka Akane was certain that Bai Ye didn't know where she got the information about Shiyu.
"Okay, just consider it as a reward for the product Mr. Xiao sent."
She found a convincing answer.
"At the summer comic convention, Mr. Xiao and Ms. Kasumi Shiko visited the convention together, right? And Ms. Kashiwagi Eri as well. Rouge en Rouge also had a booth at the time, and I was there too."
Bai Ye was not too surprised that Akane Benizaka knew Eriri's true identity.
Sayuri Sawamura and Akane Benizaka once collaborated at a comic convention, and a little analysis will reveal the truth.
"President Benisaka also knows Eriri. I feel like you understand them better than I do. It's true that girls understand girls best, right? Haha... I'm just joking, please don't mind it, President Benisaka."
Akane Benizaka smiled and shook her head slightly, her gaze falling on Kato Megumi who had been silent.
"Mr. Xiao, you're joking. I don't know your secretary at all. Should I say, she's quite insignificant? She's both an interesting and intimidating attribute."
Seeing that the topic suddenly turned to herself, Kato Megumi couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt in her eyes, and then she bowed slightly in greeting.
"President Hongzaka, you're too kind. I'm just a secretary."
"Xiaohui, if you put this in a novel or comic, it would be synonymous with immeasurable fighting power. It would be strange if anyone could see through your strength~"
Bai Ye's joking words once again took the reins of the conversation.
He couldn't understand why Akane Benizaka brought up the topic of Kato Megumi. In his opinion, Kato Megumi played an insignificant role in this conversation.
"I admire President Benisaka for being able to see through Xiaohui's strength."
Hongzaka Akane took a deep breath, her eyes showing a hint of admiration towards Bai Ye, and she crossed her legs on the other side.
"Chatting with Mr. Xiao was both fun and exciting, like playing an engrossing puzzle game."
Before Bai Ye could respond, Hongzaka Akane interrupted again.
"I'm just curious about Secretary Kato's ability to make Aki Tomoya completely give up. If my members had half the ability of Secretary Kato, I'd have less worries."
An Yilun too?
This time, even Bai Ye was moved.
The first reason was that he heard from Akane Benizaka that Tomoya Aki had completely given up. The second reason was that he was confused about how Akane Benizaka obtained the information. The third reason was why Akane Benizaka mentioned Tomoya Aki.
In Bai Ye's opinion, Aki Tomoya had nothing to do with this conversation.
"Does President Benisaka also know Aki-san?"
"I know him. I met him once. I quite admire him."
"What does President Benisaka admire about him?"
The one who asked this question was not Bai Ye, but Kato Megumi.
The sudden quick words made Akane Hongsaka raise her eyebrows, but failed to lower the corners of her slightly upturned mouth.
"Although I've only met him once, I quite like his straightforward personality. It's completely different from Mr. Xiao. Furthermore, his passion for achieving his goals at all costs is incredibly thrilling, and that's quite similar to Mr. Xiao."
"Is that so?" Kato Megumi said in a very low voice so that no one could hear.
"It's a shame that Akitomo was also defeated. I thought he would achieve something, but in the end he was devastated. That's probably all he has left. So, I'm really interested in how Secretary Kato quenched his enthusiasm."
"I just explained everything clearly. Luckily, Aki-kun understood."
Bai Ye's expression remained normal, but he couldn't help but hold his forehead in his hand.
"Why does Akane Azuki seem to be interested in Hui? Isn't this the most unlikely option?"
Chapter 637 After the Chat with Akane Benizaka
The conversation with Akane Benizaka continues.
At this point, Bai Ye had a certain understanding of Benizaka Akane.
According to what Akane Benizaka said, she learned about the club's situation from an analysis of the summer comic convention. Bai Ye did not completely deny this, but he was not completely sure about it either.
Because of the "digression" mentioned by Akane Benizaka, Bai Ye's relationship with her is no longer just business partners, but also open competitors.
Bai Ye picked up the cup and took a sip to cool his head which was overheated from brainstorming.
"It's all water, why does it taste so much worse than the one at home? Sigh... let's get this over with."
"President Benisaka."
Challenging the winding mountain roads of Akina Mountain with rivals driving AE86 is indeed exciting and refreshing, but in fact, driving too much will cause back pain, and if you are not careful, you may get carsick and vomit.
It's time to take a break and repair the car.
"We're talking off-topic, but I don't think we're talking off-topic."
The conversation just now was just both parties testing each other. No one brought up any points worth arguing about, and they were all off-topic.
Akane Benizaka was not confused by the definition of "off-topic". She also took a sip of water and straightened up from her seat.
"That's right, we're not talking. How can talking about something that's not off-topic be considered off-topic?"
Bai Ye couldn't help but clench his fists, and suddenly had the urge to doodle on Hongzaka Akane's beautiful face.
Especially those delicate cherry lips, which had to be sealed with a big cross drawn with ink.
Kato Megumi relaxed her tense shoulders. The conversation had become meaningless as both sides began arguing over the definition of "off-topic".
"It should be almost over. Should I think about what to cook for dinner, or should I go to the restaurant?"
Bai Ye had the same idea as her.
"I will convey President Hongsaka's concern for Shiyu and the others. The snacks will be delivered tomorrow. Please make sure President Hongsaka signs for them."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao. I'll get back to you about the sponsorship as soon as possible." Akane Benizaka picked up the phone on the table. "I may not be here tomorrow. Would you like to exchange email addresses so we can pass on messages?"
"no problem."
Things in the world are not black and white. There are gray areas hidden in our hearts and in the world.
Even if it would cause unpleasantness with Akane Benizaka, it would not prevent Bai Ye from wanting to do business with her.
Ding-dong-
After the prompt sound, Akane Ayaka appeared in the chat box.
Bai Ye looked at Akane Benizaka, who was classified as "My Friends" by default, and inexplicably felt that the world is unpredictable.
. . . . . .
The moment they walked out of the rouge en rouge building, Bai Ye and Kato Megumi looked at each other at the same time.
No words are needed, eyes are enough to express that each other has countless things to say and countless complaints to pour out.
"Xiaohui, do you want to go first or should I go first?"
"I'll go first. To discuss Bai Yejun's affairs, everyone needs to be present. To discuss me, only Bai Yejun is enough."
"That's fine, but we need to find a place to sit and have dinner. I don't want to eat dust on the street."
"Uh-huh."
The two came to the tea restaurant.
Although I feel complicated, I cannot just deal with dinner simply. It is not just talk that delicious food soothes the soul.
"I want an iced Coke for my drink, what about you, Xiaohui?"
"me too."
The icy bubbles rushed to my head and also started talking.
"I can't believe it..." Bai Ye chewed on the plastic straw while drinking, looking a little puzzled and unhappy. "Beisaka Akane is actually interested in you, Xiaohui. I never thought that. Could it be that Xiaohui's low presence is no longer effective?"
"This is not something to joke about."
"Yes, yes, let me relax for a bit~" Bai Ye raised his hands in surrender. "Talking to Akane Benizaka is like playing on a dark chessboard. In comparison, fighting with everyone else's love brain battle is more interesting. At least in the end, I get some benefits."
Kato Megumi glanced sideways and did not comment on this.
"You actually said, Xiaohui, that you defeated Aki-san. Xiaohui's mouth has become more powerful. Hmm... I should always say it's powerful."
"Whether Bai Ye-kun is talking about being treacherous or something else, I won't admit it. As for Amami-kun's matter, if I didn't have such troublesome obsession and fanaticism, I wouldn't be being teased by Bai Ye-kun right now."
"After all this, it's still my fault..."
In the second week of school, Aki Tomoya still did not come to school and announced to the public that he was still sick.
The results of the investigation on Takeshi Gouda also showed that he was sick.
"What do you think, Xiaohui, about Akane Benizaka's off-topic remarks?"
Kato Megumi closed her eyes and opened them after a few seconds.
