59.

The mysterious side and the scientific side are a pair of antonyms.

Ordinary people like Xuezhi naturally belonged to the scientific side, while the mysterious side, in simple terms, were people with supernatural powers.

She thought about it, and found that if she wanted to find someone to help study the dark lines on the stone, she had no other choice.

People from the Armed Detective Agency couldn't be contacted—at first, Fukuzawa Yukichi and Edogawa Ranpo were on a business trip, and then Dazai Osamu, Oda Sakunosuke, and other detectives couldn't be contacted either.

Hikari, the fourth brother of the port mafia, was sent by the leader Mori Ogai to perform a mission, and there has been no news for several days.Zhongyuan Zhong didn't know what to do, and couldn't get in touch.

When Xuezhi was hospitalized, none of them came to visit her.

Apart from them, the only people with supernatural powers who had a better relationship with Xuezhi were those from Barbara.

Whether it was a former king, or a person with supernatural powers because of the disappearance of the Dresden slate, they all belong to the mysterious side of power.

But with the lessons learned from going to Yokohama before, Xuezhi still obediently sent a message to Zhou Fangzun, asking him where he is now.

After sending the message, Xuezhi continued to lie on the armrest of the sofa in her most comfortable position, waiting for a reply.

Yukimura Seiichi glanced at her darkened phone screen, and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Who are you going to ask? Is it Suho? Or Osamu Dazai?"

The last time I went to Mt. Takao, Suho and Osamu Dazai were there, and Seiichi Yukimura can still vividly remember the scene where they used their supernatural powers at the entrance of the villa.

And when I went to visit Xuezhi in the hospital the day before yesterday, Zhou Fangzun was there. His affection for Xuezhi was obvious, and Xuezhi and him were also very close.

It's not the superficial intimacy, but the way the two of them get along is different from others, more familiar, more relaxed, and more tacit understanding.

Yukimura Seichi would never admit it, he envied Zhou Fangzun for meeting Xuezhi so early, for being able to be by Xuezhi's side since he was a student, and for being able to grow up with her.

In his heart, Zhou Fangzun is the opponent who needs to be most vigilant.

Xuezhi didn't know that when Seiichi Yukimura asked this question, she had so many twists and turns in her mind. She told him truthfully: "I'm going to ask Zun, but I can't get in touch with Aji recently."

Yukimura Seiichi: "Well, their supernatural powers are always busy."

"It may take a while to reply, why don't we do something meaningful?" He suggested with a smile.

Xuezhi: "What meaningful thing?"

Yukimura Seiichi didn't speak, and pulled her up from the sofa with a smile: "Come with me."

He pulled Xuezhi out of the living room, and walked towards the room where he was holding the magnifying glass.

Xuezhi also became curious: "Where are you going? It's so mysterious. Did you set up a secret base at home?"

Yukimura Seiichi: "Is it a secret base? That's right."

As he said this, he pulled the snow branch through the corridor and stopped at the door of a room.

"Oh! It looks amazing!" Xuezhi couldn't help admiring.

This room is very large, it should be Yukimura Seichi's studio.

Generally speaking, whether it is a studio can be seen at a glance.But here why did Xuezhi use such uncertain words...

Xuezhi looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows that almost occupied the entire wall, and the all-glass balcony outside, dazzled by the sunlight coming in from outside.

There are many plants planted on the balcony and in front of the French windows, and most of the snow branches cannot be named.

The plants were arranged in a well-proportioned manner, and she could see that Yukimura Seichi must have spent a lot of effort to make this place like this.

"If the easel wasn't so big, I would have thought it was a flower room, not a studio." Xuezhi looked at the oversized easel covered with a dust-proof cloth in the room, and sighed.

Yukimura Seiichi winked at her: "But I can't show it to you yet. It's not finished yet."

"Eh?" Xuezhi was a little surprised.

Yukimura Seichi seldom shares his works with her. In his words, he always feels that he is asking for praise.

Yukimura Seiichi, who rarely shared his works with her, offered to show her the painting after it was finished. What does it mean?

It shows that this painting has special meaning to her.

Regarding this, Xuezhi could only think of one possibility: "Is this painting about me?"

"That's right..." Yukimura Seiichi looked at her with praise.

Xuezhi tilted her head: "Then what's the reward for guessing correctly?"

Yukimura Seichi also tilted his head, as if thinking: "Then, shall I give you a pot of flowers?"

He said and pulled her to the French window: "I remember Xuezhi said that she would also take care of the flower garden at home. It should be no problem to grow a pot of flowers."

When he said this, he didn't look at Xuezhi, but at the plants in front of him, looking for the most suitable pot for Xuezhi.

Seeing that he was serious, Xue Zhi felt a little embarrassed again, and quickly tried to stop him: "I'm just joking, I don't need a gift. I didn't even give you a gift when I came to ask you for help, why did I still accept your gift?"

Yukimura Seiko didn't hear her refusal, and said with a smile: "I wanted to give you a pot of flowers before, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity. Let me realize it this time."

Xuezhi looked at him hesitantly: "Do you really want to give it away?"

"Really..." Seiichi Yukimura turned to look at Yukie, "Then what kind of flowers do you like?"

Xuezhi rolled her eyes, and said solemnly: "I like lotus."

Yukimura Seiichi blinked: "I suspect you are embarrassing me."

Not to mention that his place is only half an indoor greenhouse, and there is no pond to grow lotus. Now it is late autumn, and it is not the season for lotus to bloom.

Xuezhi also blinked: "No, it's all from the bottom of my heart."

"Then I have to find a way to fulfill your wish first." Seiichi Yukimura glanced at the flower stand on the balcony, and quickly found a suitable gift.

Seeing his confident appearance, Xuezhi couldn't help being a little surprised: "Could it be that he figured out a solution so quickly?"

Seiichi Yukimura walked to the balcony, took a potted plant from the flower stand near the side glass wall, and walked in front of Yuki.

"It's called Avalokitesvara, also called longevity grass. Although it's not the Avalokitesvara of the lotus variety, it barely meets your requirements."

Yukimura Seichi handed a small pot of Avalokitesvara to Xuezhi, "This is a very common succulent plant, and it is easy to grow. It can grow well without careful attention."

Xuezhi took over the pot of Guanyin lotus, which was not much bigger than her palm, and laughed: "Then I will accept it, thank you, Mr. Painter."

Yukimura Seichi tilted his head: "In this case, Ms. Muse will be my model again? I feel that there will be new inspiration today."

Xuezhi glanced at the phone, but still did not receive a reply from Zhou Fangzun.

So she nodded cheerfully: "Okay."

……

Xue Zhi worked as a model for Yukimura Seiichi for a whole morning, and during the rest time, she checked her phone many times, but she never received a reply from Zhou Fangzun.

"If you can't get in touch with Zun, it's fine if you can get in touch with Izumo and Tatara." With this in mind, Yukie also sent a message to Kusanagi Izumo and Shishu Tatara.

Just the message sent to Izumo Kusanagi and Tatara Shishu, just like the one sent to Zhou Fangzun before, went nowhere, and no reply was received.

"Could it be that they are also busy?" Xuezhi felt a little unbelievable.

After all, Barbara is not a big organization, as can be seen from the fact that the name of the organization is the name of the bar.

The biggest difference between Barbara and the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia is that the Barbara organization essentially serves its members.

The Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia, like most organizations, have their own goals and responsibilities, and the members of the organization serve the organization.

Therefore, it is very unreasonable for Zhou Fangzun and the others to be too busy to reply to messages.

Xuezhi decided that if she didn't receive a reply after noon, she would call directly to ask.

If she couldn't reach them by phone, then she might need to go to the Barbara to see what was going on there.

-

On the morning of her 24th birthday, You Jing received a surprise birthday gift from her sister as soon as she walked out of the room.

Inside is a pure gold anti-skid chain for glasses. The slender chain is coiled with delicate patterns, giving it a sense of low-key luxury.

This kind of anti-skid chain does not conform to Ukyo's usage habits.Generally, snow chains are used with pince-nez glasses without temples.

With the gold-rimmed glasses he usually wears, it is purely decorative, handsome and conspicuous, not necessary.

But if it was sent by my sister, it would be different.

You Jing didn't say anything about wearing snow chains, and even took a photo in the mirror when passing by.

It can be said that it completely conforms to the image of a beast in clothes and clothes in the movie.

"Cough." You Jing blushed for a moment for this description, and quickly looked away.

"At least it's still handsome, my sister should like it." He thought so.

On the morning of his birthday, Ukyo still went to work as usual.

The only difference is that when he went out, the brothers sent birthday wishes and showed great interest in his snow chains.

You Jing had no choice but to tell them in a reserved and showing off tone: "It's a birthday present from my sister."

Then he walked out of the house under the envious eyes of his brothers.

"Ah, by the way, did you tell your sister about that?" You Jing turned around and asked his brothers the second he stepped out of the threshold.

"I've said it." Tsubaki and Yusuke nodded repeatedly.

"Brother You Jing, hurry up and go to work, you're going to be late." Azusa reminded him calmly.

You Jing took the elevator to the underground warehouse. He always felt that there was something wrong with the behavior of the brothers just now. He was thinking all the way, but he didn't find out what was wrong.

The car started, and Ukyo had to stop thinking in order to concentrate on driving.

When he arrived at the law firm, he was busy with one job after another, and he had no time and energy to think about family matters.

Today is his birthday, and he will have a simple celebration at home with his sister and brothers in the evening, so he needs to go home early.

Therefore, Youjing's work schedule during the day is very full, and he doesn't even have time to contact his girlfriend who has just established a relationship for a long time.

Fortunately, I don't need to appear in court today. I only met the client downstairs in the afternoon and communicated the details of the upcoming lawsuit.

The rest of the time is basically in the office processing files and sorting out materials.

After getting off work on time, You Jing received his girlfriend and took her back to the Dawn Pavilion.
