Chapter 89: In the City? Country Mouse

In a cafe, Shirasaki Hana was happily eating cake, while Hayasaka Ai looked at Uchiha Ling with a smile.

"Classmate Ling, you know, I am really happy today."

Uchiha Ling swallowed the snack in his mouth, "If you are happy, you can help me train the maid this afternoon. It does not require you to be good at both civil and military skills, but you must also be good at housework."

When Little Lonely starts his apprenticeship, he, Uchiha Ling, will be able to live like a busy maid like Shinomiya Kaguya.

Hayasaka Ai looked out the window. For some reason, the originally sunny sky started to rain continuously.

"Looks like we're going to be stuck here for a while."

Uchiha Ling: "I don't care. Anyway, the coffee shop has both air conditioning and WiFi, and we have nothing to do for the time being. Where is Xiaohua?"

Shirasaki nodded, "My classmates and I made an appointment to meet in the afternoon, and there's nothing else to do at noon. Just stay here."

I don’t know why, but they are the only group of customers in the cafe. Apart from some noise from the staff, it was eerily quiet here.

Hayasaka Ai lowered his head, "Classmate Ling, let's play a game. If whoever loses, tell the other a secret."

"Playing games, what to play?"

Seeing that Uchiha Ling didn't seem to mean to refuse, and Shirasaki was eating silently, with no intention of getting together, Hayasaka Ai was relieved.

"It's simple, just roll the dice, whoever has the higher number wins. If the numbers are the same, start over."

Uchiha Ling: "That's it?"

Hayasaka Ai smiled and said, "It's just for fun anyway, so I'll do it first~"

The die lands on the table, and the number that ends up facing up is three.

Uchiha Ling picked up the dice. Since Hayasaka Ai wanted to play casually, he could just play casually.

Well, the dice feels fine, has a normal weight, and no padding inside. Although the air-conditioned wind in the cafe is weak, it cannot be ignored.

The Sharingan was opened. After all, he actually used the system to exchange for contact lenses for testing last time. He concluded that the effect was pretty good, so he put them on when he went out.

After accurately calculating the force, Uchiha Ling threw the dice.

Uchiha Ling: "It's six..."

Hayasaka Ai sighed, "Yes, it's six... Then I'll tell you a secret. But we're going to do it again!"

"Is that what you want to ask me?"

Uchiha Ling thought for a while and deliberately threw a one this time, while Hayasaka Ai still had a three this time.

Hayasaka Ai looked at the dice on the table and then held them in his hands.

"Xiaohua, call me sister and I will order you another strawberry cake!"

Shirasaki Hana: "Sister~Sister is so kind."

"Well, then order two!"

Hayasaka Ai went to the front desk and ordered two more cakes, then placed them in front of Xiaohua, and then sat next to Uchiha Ling.

"You owe me a secret, and I owe you a secret, so I'll start asking..."

Uchiha Ling nodded. He suddenly thought that this cafe seemed to be owned by Shinomiya. No wonder Hayasaka had the food on the table so quickly when he ordered it.

"Classmate Ling, are you...really from Sigong Yunying? What is your relationship with Sigong Yunying?"

Uchiha Ling smiled, "Is this what you originally wanted to ask..."

Hayasaka Ai's expression was very serious, as if this issue was very important to her.

Seeing Hayasaka Ai like this, Uchiha Ling also put away his joking expression and answered seriously.

"I have a cooperative relationship with Sigong Yunying. I am not his. He and I are equals."

Hayasaka Ai: "Cooperation..."

"What a coincidence... Actually, I was not a member of the Fourth Palace Cloud Eagle from the beginning."

Uchiha Ling turned to look at Hayasaka Ai, but at this moment, Hayasaka Ai was looking out the rainy window with a complicated expression.

"Does Ling know the story in Aesop's fables, The Field Mouse and the House Mouse?"

Uchiha Ling: "Huh?"

Hayasaka Ai seemed to be explaining to Uchiha Ling, but she also seemed to be talking to herself.

One day, the country mouse and the city mouse were chatting together. The country mouse said that the fields were huge and there was a lot of barley and millet that could not be eaten. As a result, he was ridiculed by the city rats.

You really live like an ant. Is this enough? We can eat dry cheese, dates, fruits and even sweet water and honey in the city.

However, house mice are on the run because of human pursuits, leading a dangerous and frightened life. On the contrary, although the field mouse is ordinary, he can live a peaceful life in the countryside.

Hayasaka Ai sighed, "It's great. Although the rats in the countryside cannot eat the delicacies of the city, they can enjoy an ordinary and stable life. Although the rats in the city eat well, they are always hunted down by humans."

"Now, Ling, which one do you think is better, the city rats or the country rats?"

Uchiha Ling fell into silence, and then suddenly laughed.

"I don't choose either... Putting aside the fact that I can't become a mouse at all, this is a boring question [people in the besieged city want to get out, people outside the besieged city want to come in]."

Hayasaka Ai: "Really... Then let me tell you my real secret. The Hayasaka family is not from Shinomiya Kumohawk at all. From the beginning... the Hayasaka family has been controlled by the Shinomiya family. Young Master, in the hands of Sigong Huangguang!"

At some point, all the staff in the cafe had disappeared. What came out of the kitchen was a group of bodyguards dressed in black.

And suddenly a bald man emerged from the crowd.

The bald man with a small mustache and wearing a kimono and a fierce look on his face slowly came to Uchiha Ling's table.

"I was wondering why the third brother of that useless guy has changed so much recently. It turns out that a mouse sneaked in to give him advice."

Uchiha Ling raised his head, "Hayasaka, did you hear the dog barking? Who is it? Walking the dog without a leash in broad daylight."

Shigong Huangguang's eyes widened with anger! He raised his foot to kick over Uchiha Ling's table.

"Find out the situation for me! The subordinates of Shigong Yunying, that useless guy, are really useless!"

And the next moment, Shigong Huangguang took several steps back and sat on the ground, panting heavily, as if he had seen something horrible.

Uchiha Ling stood up, and Baisaki Hua on the other side raised her head cutely, as if she was curious about everything. She just ate a cake, what happened here?

"Xiaohua...are you a little sleepy? Why don't you take a nap first?"

Shirasaki Hua turned her head and looked at Uchiha Ling, "I'm not sleepy..."

But the moment Xiaohua saw Uchiha Ling's eyes, she lay quietly on the sofa behind her.

"Hayasaka Ai, let me answer your question again. Only mice would think hard about whether to go to the city or the countryside. And I... am a tiger!"
