Chapter 21: The Great Western Sage Demonstrates

  Tap tap tap......

  A few days ago, Zhou Xiao also tried to go upstairs to find the owner of the little niece, but ultimately failed. At that time, because he was also worried about his own work, Zhou Xiao's footsteps were very heavy when he went upstairs.

  But now it's different, Zhou Xiao walks upstairs with a quick pace.

  Success in his career made him feel extremely good, when people are in a good mood, their thoughts will also go to better places. Zhou Xiao's palm was clenched into a fist with a soft small interior, and in his heart, there was also a thread of pink emotions swirling around.

  "Will it be a pretty younger sister or an overbearing older sister? If it's the pretty younger sister, can I smoothly get her phone number? If it's the older sister, do I need to play the weak role to win over her maternal instincts?" In just a short walk, Zhou Xiaoxin thought of many, many possibilities.

  He finally stood at the door of his own room on the floor.

  Unlike the past few days when it was idle, today Zhou Xiao felt that someone had returned when he arrived here.

  She took a glance at the nameplate on the door, where the surname "Daxi" was still printed, just like it was a few days ago. This wasn't a common surname, but Japan had over 100,000 surnames, so Zhou Xiao wasn't particularly surprised.

  "Knock knock..." Zhou Xiao knocked on the door.

  "Hey hey hey~~~~~~" A soft and drawn-out response quickly echoed through the room.

  "Oh! The sound is pretty good!" Zhou Xiao stood at the door and heard the sound, her whole body shook.

  Then he heard the sound of footsteps approaching the door.

  "May I ask who you are looking for?" The voice from inside the door stopped at the entrance, and Zhou Xiao didn't even notice the other person opening the door, but instead asked cautiously.

  "Excuse me, is this Miss Daxi? I'm your downstairs neighbor. The clothes you hung outside the window seem to have fallen into my... house a few days ago when you weren't around and I couldn't return them to you." Zhou Xiao said in what she thought was her most charming voice.

  "Huh? Is that so?" The voice inside the room asked a question and then quickly opened the door.

  Zhou Xiao made a great effort to swallow the saliva that was almost flowing out of his mouth, and greeted the girl at the door with a serious and solemn expression.

  "Hello......" After the door was opened, Zhou Xiao heard a timid voice, and what he saw was a round smiling face. Beautiful? Cute? En... Indeed, it's quite pretty and cute... But somehow it always seems to be just a little bit short of being a 100% beauty, cute girl, just a tiny bit short... If I had to score it, the beauty level would be around 58 points or so... Just a little bit more and it would be a beauty, just a little bit more...

  But this was already enough, it was more than enough. For the lonely and impoverished Zhou Xiao who had been drifting for several days, suddenly being so close to a girl and observing her at such a short distance made his entire mood brighten up considerably.

  "You... you see if this is yours?" Zhou Xiao calmed down a bit and handed over the small underwear in her hand.

  "Huh? Ah! It's really mine... Ada... I'm so embarrassed..." The girl's face turned bright red the moment she saw what Zhou Xiao had handed over. In fact, she wasn't one of those girls with extremely pale skin, and on top of that, with the current Shibuya-style trend, it seemed like she didn't even intentionally put on a whitening makeup look. However, Zhou Xiao was standing too close to her, which made it easy for him to see her reddened face clearly.

  "Uh... sorry..." Zhou Xiao also awkwardly apologized, who made him bring such an embarrassing thing to show her.

  "Hmph." Seeing Zhou Xiao's somewhat nervous and at a loss appearance, the girl suddenly burst out laughing.

  "Come in and sit for a while?" The girl finally made way with her body and invited.

  With the girl's invitation, Zhou Xiao hesitantly walked into her boudoir.

  Because the two people lived upstairs and downstairs, it was clear that the layout of their rooms was the same. People who could live in such a room were also clearly not wealthy, but after Zhou Xiao entered the room, he could feel that there was a big difference between the other person and himself, this sloppy man. At least the other person's room looked very tidy and clean, while his own side, perhaps Zhou Xiao was more diligent than his predecessor Zhou Xiao, but definitely not much more diligent. Moreover, Zhou Xiao had never intended to stay long-term, so he didn't care too much about the cleanliness of the room.

  It's just... Zhou Xiao still had a little bit of doubt, this girl, he always felt like he had seen her somewhere before...

  "It's strange, I didn't like Japanese things until around 06, and before that, I basically didn't pay attention to the Japanese entertainment circle at all. So now, except for those who became popular over a decade later, there are very few people I'm familiar with... but this girl seems like someone I've seen before... Fifteen years later, she's still... Who is she? The surname 'ōnishi', I've almost never heard of any actress with that surname..." Xiaoxiao thought to himself as the girl went to pour him tea.

  "The girl handed the tea over to Zhou Xiao."

  "Thank you," Zhou Xiao replied.

  "Uh... I just forgot to ask, may I ask your surname?" the girl asked.

  "My surname is Zhou."

  Week?

  "That's right, Zhou," said Zhou Xiaodao.

  "There's... some strange surnames." The girl said.

  "I am of Chinese descent, this surname is a Chinese surname."

  "So it was..."

  The conversation between the two people entered a slightly awkward time, Zhou Xiao was just an otaku in his previous life, without a car or a house, he didn't have the opportunity to fall in love, especially since it was still early 2000s Japan. So, although he wanted to say more, reality made him almost unable to say anything meaningful.

  "Uh... may I ask your name is...?" Zhou Xiao finally asked, feeling embarrassed. He had thought about the surname "Daxi" for half a day and still couldn't figure out who it was. Having no choice, he asked the girl for her full name.

  "Ah, Xiǎn Shì, I'm calling Dà Xī Xiǎn Shì!" The girl said.

  "It turned out to be Xian Shi Jiang, I'm Zhou Xiao. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

  One hand stretched out to shake hands with the girl, Zhou Xiao said politely.

  "Would you like to sit for a while longer? Sorry there's nothing I can offer you." said the girl.

  "No need, no need, I still have some things to attend to tonight, so I won't disturb you." said Zhou Xiao.

  After saying goodbye to each other at the door, Zhou Xiao turned around and went downstairs.

  "Strange, this name... I'm sure I've heard it before... who is it?... who on earth is it?" Zhou Xiao muttered to himself as he walked.

  "A girl is so poor that she lives in such a small apartment, the name sounds familiar too, and her tone of speech is not the usual tone used by Japanese girls... it feels like... somehow artificial, as if intentionally showing off her feminine qualities... considering these three points... who is she? Who is she?" Zhou Xiao was walking while scratching his head when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he finally remembered who this girl was!

  Then he grabbed the handrail of the stairs and threw up!!!!!

  The lunch and tea he had just drunk were all vomited out by Zhou Xiao in a few seconds.

  "Ugh! Ugh!" Zhou Xiaoqian vomited until there was nothing left in her stomach, and finally sat down on the stairs, silently shouting at the sky: "Heavens! Are you playing a trick on me?! I came over from my previous life without any cute real or fake little sisters, no beautiful female landlord, no pure female tenant, no childhood sweetheart who liked me... I thought you arranged for me to have a barely passable pretty female neighbor, but it turns out this pretty female tenant is actually her!!!!! No, this pretty female tenant is actually him!!!!!!"

  What a big surprise!!! The "girl" just now, more than ten years later, most people who watch Japanese entertainment should recognize her, but at that time "she" rarely used this name anymore. At that time, "her" stage name was Haruna Ai!

  That's right! She is actually him! The so-called Da Xi Xian Shi is... a transvestite who has undergone sex reassignment surgery!

  This is your sister, where has the first "female character" appeared, and finally found out that it's not a female character but a male character!？

  "No wonder he lives in such a small apartment! It's not very suitable for a woman to live in a small apartment, but if it were a man, it would be no surprise at all! And no wonder he's so poor, I heard that he had a sex change operation a few years ago and spent over 10 million yen!"

  In Zhou Xiao's heart, several thousand sheep and camels were galloping wildly.

  P.S., damn it, I copied and pasted a picture of myself with a stupid expression... Am I naturally stupid?
