"The problem is, I hired you, and this part of your time is already mine. You need to spend enough time on my things. Can your so-called 'saving time' be regarded as being passive? In this case, I don't need to pay you full remuneration.
So, I will also 'cut corners' when it comes to helping you, how about that? "
"You mean, the more serious I am about my job as a shield, the more serious you will be in helping me gain my brother's approval, right?"
Having said this, Horikita seemed to have made up some kind of determination, nodded firmly, and said, "In order for you to do your best to help me gain my brother's approval, I will go all out to deal with the job of 'shield'! From tomorrow on, just watch it!"
Seeing Horikita's serious look, Bai Lan immediately showed a satisfied smile.
Bai Lan found that being able to convince Horikita, who was as stubborn as a piece of wood, was such a fulfilling thing.
etc?
Horikita What was the last thing she said just now?
"Starting from tomorrow"?
And asked Bai Lan to "take a look"?
Why "tomorrow"?
What does "look" mean in "look"?
I don't know why, Bai Lan suddenly felt a little uneasy.
The alarm of self-preservation instinct sounded wildly in my heart.
Bai Lan feels that there seems to be a trap in what Horikita said.
Thinking of this, Bai Lan couldn't help but said to Horikita, "Don't do unnecessary things! If it's because you did something unnecessary that I didn't ask you to do that ruined my business, I will ask you to compensate!"
Horikita replied, "Don't worry, I won't do unnecessary things, and I won't waste precious time indiscriminately, so everything I do is necessary as a 'shield'.
If you find that I have done something that is not in line with the "shield" work content, you can point it out and I will not be subject to corresponding "remuneration". If this causes losses, I am also willing to pay corresponding compensation. "
Based on Bai Lan's impression of Horikita, Horikita should not be the kind of person who likes to exploit loopholes at every turn.
Therefore, since Horikita has assured him this, he should be able to rest assured.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. What evil intentions could a wooden head like Horikita have that only has one direction?"
Thinking of this, Bai Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief and drank the rest of the juice happily.
After Bai Lan threw the can into the trash can, he said, "I've finished drinking the juice and finished talking. If nothing happens, I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?" Horikita asked.
"Go back to the dormitory, wash up and get ready for bed."
"Oh, let's go."
Then, Bai Lan turned around and walked towards the dormitory.
Bai Lan had just taken a few steps, and then he noticed the sound of footsteps behind him.
Bai Lan looked back and saw a beautiful figure approaching beside him.
Bai Lan tilted his head, with a puzzled look on his face, as if there was a big question mark above his head.
Horikita: "I'll go back to the dormitory too."
Bai Lan: "Do we have to go together?"
Horikita glanced over and said, "It's just a 'shield' job."
Bai Lan: "But if there is an 'arrow' coming, I won't be able to use the shield? I'll call you when I need it."
Horikita: "This is called 'padding'. If we don't have any friendly contact at all, and suddenly you pull me out as a shield, others may not believe it."
Bai Lan: "No, we have had scandals before, and I think they will believe it, right?"
Horikita: "Gossips are hot, and so are relationships. The heat will subside over time, so we still need to go together occasionally to maintain the heat, lest others forget. Since we are on the way today, we might as well go together. This is efficient."
"That's right." Bai Lan nodded and accepted this statement.
Soon, Bai Lan and Horikita returned to the dormitory building together.
Enter the door and enter the elevator.
There were only two of them in the elevator.
At this time Horikita spoke, "I didn't meet any witnesses on this trip, so it's best to find another suitable opportunity tomorrow and go together again."
"So professional."
"No, I'm not a professional. I haven't learned anything about this yet, but I will supplement this knowledge as soon as possible after I go back tonight so that I can do this job perfectly."
"Ah, come on."
"So, what's your answer? Do we have time to walk together again tomorrow?"
"Ah, um, okay."
"So be it."
"I have to say that Horikita, who is in a serious state, is surprisingly reassuring when he does things." Bai Lan thought in his heart.
However, what Bai Lan didn't know was that his idea tonight would be overturned by him soon.
Well, not long really.
Just the next day...
95. Horikita: Everything is just a task of...
Early the next morning.
Bai Lan woke up naturally at seven o'clock. After washing, he went downstairs and exercised for half an hour to prevent his body from getting rusty.
After his workout, he stopped by for a morning snack.
When I got back to the dormitory, it was not yet eight o'clock.
There is still more than half an hour left before the morning meeting.
All in all, there is still a lot of time to waste.
Bai Lan is sitting on the bed, with his back against the wall, controlling his body through meditation, and adjusting to the state that was previously reduced due to physical exertion and eating behaviors.
After coming here for a while.
Bai Lan's cell phone rang.
He took out his phone, opened one eye and took a look.
I found out that the call was from Horikita.
"Is something wrong?" Bai Lan asked directly after answering the phone.
After speaking, he turned on the speakerphone and closed his eyes.
Horikita: "Where are you now?"
"In the dormitory, what happened?"
"That's fine, let's go to class together."
"Go to class together?"
"Yes, didn't we agree to it yesterday? Find a suitable opportunity and go for a walk together. If we go to class together, we don't have to spend extra time and energy. We only need to complete the things we have to do every day, and we can also complete the daily task of 'walking together' to maintain the heat. This is more efficient."
"I can understand using the things you have to do every day to complete the task, but the problem is that it's still a long time before the bell rings! Why go so early? When you get to the classroom, you can only listen to those people yelling there, and Kushida will come to you as soon as you Kushida. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the room for a while and be quiet for a while?"
"Although it will still be some time before the bell rings, the entire school will now enter the peak period, and the flow of people heading towards the teaching building will begin to increase dramatically.
In this case, if we go to school together, when we perform the behavior of "walking together", the frequency of being observed will reach the highest level, and the efficiency of the task will also reach the highest level.
According to my memory from this month, the peak period of school usually only lasts 10 to 15 minutes.
In other words, the peak period will end within 10 minutes at the earliest.
It will take me about 5 minutes from now on to get ready to go to the classroom at my normal speed, considering that you may have something on your hands, such as going to the toilet, eating, or solving dirty physiological problems belonging to male high school students..."
"Can you please stop using the words 'toilet' and 'eating' together? It's easy to create ambiguity! If you don't know, you might think what I'm eating? Also, what is the 'dirty physiological problem of male high school students'? Please explain it clearly to me if you can!"
Horikita did not answer Bai Lan's words, but continued to explain, "In short, in order to prevent you from leaving time to prepare, so I will notify you 5 minutes in advance before the end of the 'minimum peak period'. However, after my conversation, you only have 4 minutes left to prepare."
"Don't act like I've agreed!"
"I'm already downstairs. If you're okay, please gather at the door quickly so as not to miss the rush hour."
"I... Okay, I'll go down right now."
Although Bai Lan really wanted to continue enjoying her loneliness and didn't want to go to the classroom so early to face those troublesome classmates, Horikita said she was already waiting downstairs.
After all, in the final analysis, Horikita's "shield" job was what Bai Lan asked her to do.
As a helper, Bai Lan shouldn't let the person who helps him wait for too long.
Moreover, Horikita is so passionate about work, Bai Lan can't dampen her enthusiasm.
Bai Lan With a "dragon flick", he threw his legs that were sitting cross-legged on the bed into the air, and then his feet accurately landed in the slippers beside the bed.
Driven by his legs, Bai Lan's upper body also rose up. During the process of rising, Bai Lan grabbed his mobile phone with one hand and his jacket with the other.
The moment his feet stepped into the slippers, Bai Lan also put on his jacket in mid-air and put his cell phone in his pocket.
Button up as you go.
When he was about to close the door, he kicked off his slippers in advance, and then inserted his feet into his outdoor shoes.
Finally, he twisted the door handle with one hand to open the door, and quickly picked up the heel of his shoe with the other hand.
When he walked out of the room, he had already changed into a formal suit. He also picked up his schoolbag with his left hand and the garbage to be thrown away in his right hand.
From preparing before going out to going out, the whole process takes less than 10 seconds.
Soon, Bai Lan saw Horikita waiting at the door of the dormitory building.
After meeting up with Horikita, the two of them walked straight towards the teaching building.
At this time, Horikita suddenly asked Bai Lan: "How do you say the word 'hearing' in Chinese?"
Bai Lan:?
"Why did you suddenly ask about Chinese?"
"I'm just looking for something to talk about. I checked the information and it said: When people with good relationships get together, they usually talk about something. I just observed other people and they seem to be like this. Since they want to act, they have to act like they are.
