I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chen Xi put his hands behind his back and explained: "This tower is the Peace Great Buddha Pagoda of the Naritayama Kurume Branch of the main mountain, which is also the Buddhist temple dedicated to Guanyin. You can understand the light on the top of the tower as the Eight-foot Mirror or Magatama, or as the pearl of the Saeki family, hehe~"

His explanation and smirk made Saori on the stage blush.

Then Chen Xi explained: "As for this so-called heavenly dog... ahem, that is naturally some people who are willing to be dogs. The moon above their heads is naturally a mark of someone's love..."

On one side of the stage, Ise Sogetsu's face was livid, and a woman who knew Chinese was translating for him. Because there was often a moon logo on his clothes, it was his favorite pattern.

"These monsters each hold an important warehouse key, so naturally they plan to steal under the cover of night... I've been watching the news these days, and the Internet says that many people in the Saeki family are not united, and they are even colluding with the ABCD Group to try to subvert the island country's agriculture. Just now this guy drew a picture of a harvest, but from last year's earthquake to now, the island country's agriculture has suffered a setback, so how can there be any harvest? Instead of deceiving ourselves, it is better to unite to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies, right?" Chen Xi took advantage of the alcohol to angrily scold the little devils in the Saeki family.

However, there was total silence, and no one dared to refute. After all, once they opened their mouths to refute, wouldn't that mean they were the first to reveal their true colors?
Those little devils with ulterior motives could only silently endure Chen Xi's scolding.

Although the old people in the Saeki family are old, they are not fools.

They all knew the situation in the family, and after a discussion, several elders announced that Chen Xi's painting was better.

This also means that what Chen Xi said just now has been recognized by them.

After this incident, no one dared to provoke Chen Xi anymore. The celebration continued, but some people were no longer interested in watching.

As soon as the celebration was over, the top leaders of the Saeki family stood up and left one after another, because what Chen Xi had just said made them think of holding a meeting.

Late at night, in Chen Xi's room.

"How was it? I performed well today. I didn't embarrass you, did I?" Chen Xi burped and leaned against the closet.

"Of course. My husband is so outstanding, how could he embarrass me?" Saori knelt in front of him and lifted her legs for him.

"Hehe, you pretend to be so cool during the day..." Chen Xi lifted her chin with his hand and looked down at her.

"Oh, after all, I am the eldest daughter of the family, so I still have to have some dignity." Saori said aggrievedly.

"I don't care. The other people in the Saeki family are all upset with me!"

"Don't be angry, let me serve you well at night!" Saori flattered him with a playful smile.

"I want to see a uniform show!" Chen Xi smiled evilly and untied the belt of the other party's kimono, and Saori's clothes instantly fell apart. Then he opened the door of the closet behind him and took out all the clothes he had bought a few days ago but had not used yet.

The meeting room of the Saeki family.

"What the Chinese man said just now makes sense. Someone in our Saeki family is flirting with the American Group. Did the family treat you unfairly, or what?" A white-bearded old man tapped the cane in his hand.

"That's right. Now not only are the islanders laughing at our Saeki family, but even the matter has reached the ears of foreigners. It's simply a great shame. I've said it many times, if you want to maintain a family for a hundred years, the people in the family must unite." Another old man holding a folding fan, one of the people who had just made a bet at the celebration, snorted coldly.

In the eyes of these elders, Kousuke Saeki, Kamaharu Saeki and others were all juniors, so they naturally sat there like good kids and listened to being scolded.

"You can't say that. The island country suffered a disaster last year, and these Americans came to help us. They meant well. We can't go hungry and still talk about the future of the island country." An old man wearing reading glasses and with a hunched back shook his head.

"Everyone says you are the most educated person in the family, but I think you have read so much that it becomes a dog's stomach. This is called inviting a wolf into the house, don't you understand? And you still want to help us? We are not his sons, will they give us things for free without seeking profit?" The white-bearded old man glared at the other party and spoke very impolitely.

"Haha, don't look at my age, I still surf the Internet frequently! Now people all over the world say that we and Korea are the sons of America. What's wrong with a father helping his son?" The old man with glasses sneered.

Although his words were somewhat self-deprecating, it was a fact known to everyone in the world that the island country was under the control of the United States.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We, the people of the Saeki family, the citizens of a dignified island country, how can we be someone else's dogs?" The old man holding the folding fan smashed the thing in his hand heavily on the tatami.

"We must face the reality. There is an old Chinese saying, 'A wise bird chooses a good tree to roost in.' We will cooperate with whoever can bring us benefits. I have studied history. From ancient times to the present, how many families in the world have disappeared in the long river of history. The reasons for this are complex and varied, but the biggest reason is the alternation of political power. In other words, if a family wants to last forever, it can only continue to rely on the strong. Look at the ancient aristocratic families in China. They have also walked such a path, but often because of their inflated ambitions and attempts to control the upper class, their families were destroyed. As long as our Saeki family is an obedient tool, we will naturally be able to prosper. As for who will be the future ruler of the island country, that is not something we can control." The man with glasses said in a deep voice.

"Okay! I really didn't realize that you have the potential to be a dog, and you are so righteous about it." The white-bearded old man was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

"Is there anything wrong? We are all old, and we have lived to this day just to keep the family from falling. Is it for personal gain? Do you think that with the strength of the United States and ABCD, the official government of the island country and our agricultural cooperative can compete? Living for backbone and ideals every day is a daydream. Besides them, there are other forces in the agricultural cooperative. They have companies and families, and they all want to sit in the position of president. Can you guarantee that they will not cooperate with the Americans? Instead of letting them succeed in squeezing us out, we might as well choose to cooperate with others directly..." the man with glasses replied toughly.

Hearing this, the two people who were just filled with indignation suddenly didn't know what to say.

Indeed, the structure of agricultural cooperatives is quite complex.

Even if they can guarantee that the Saeki family will not cooperate with ABCD, can they guarantee that others will also resist temptation?

If Kosuke Saeki is no longer in his position, the Saeki family will definitely be greatly weakened when things are settled in the future.

Although Saeki Kosuke is a junior, as the clan leader, he still has to show his tough side. He looked at everyone and said, "Now that they have come to our door, we cannot back down. I now decide in the name of the clan leader that I will lead the Saeki family and the agricultural cooperative to crush ABCD's conspiracy to invade the island country..."

Kosuke Saeki, who is regarded by many as the weakest president in the history of the Agricultural Cooperative, showed his manly side at this moment.

The next day, it was still dark.

Saori leaned on the man's chest with red cheeks, playing with the ends of her hair with her fingers.

"You woke up so early? Didn't I feed you enough last night?" Chen Xi spoke softly with his eyes closed.

"No, it's almost dawn. I have to go back to my room quickly, otherwise people will gossip if they see me."

"What is there to be afraid of? You are already mine, and I don't believe that others don't know. Besides, the island country is so open about men and women, there won't be any gossip."

"Hmph, you may have watched too many porn movies. Girls from our island country are all very normal, okay..." Saori hit him on the chest with her pink fist.

"Yes, yes, that's totally normal... You asked me to go to your house to fix the water pipes right after I graduated from high school."

"Haha, who told you to be so arrogant in school? Others' eyes light up when they see me, but you treat me like air."

"I used to like playing games..." Chen Xi recalled the scenes of high school in his previous life.

Come to think of it, Saori seemed to tease him often at that time, but his mind was full of computer games at that time and he didn't pay much attention to women's affairs.

"Okay, no more talking, I'm going back to the house." Saori kissed him on the cheek, got out of the bed, and quickly put on her clothes. After lunch at noon, Chen Xi was called to a side yard by Saeki Kosuke.

Both of them had panda eyes at this time. Chen Xi was because he was overworked last night, and Saeki Kosuke was tired from the verbal battle with the people in the family.

"Old man, why did you call me here? Don't you need to deal with family matters? There are still a lot of negative news on the Internet that have not been resolved!" Chen Xi yawned.

"There's no rush for those things. Let me see your physical fitness first. Yesterday, I saw you doing farm work and you didn't seem like a novice. Aren't you from the city?" Kousuke Saeki pulled out two bamboo swords from the bucket beside him.

"Why? I'm in very good physical condition! There's no need to play with swords if I want to be tested."

"Hmph, do you know what our Saeki family used to do?"

"Aren't they from a peasant family?"

"Wrong. We were nobles in the beginning. We got the title through force. Later, when the regime changed, we changed our profession..."

"Oh, whether I'm in good health or not, you can ask your daughter and you will know. She always praises me for being great! Hehehe~" Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh when he said this.

"I'll beat you to death, you little bastard!" Seeing the other party's nasty look, how could Kosuke Saeki not understand what he was talking about? Last night, he must have...

Thinking of this, he raised the bamboo sword in his hand and chopped it off.

Chen Xi raised his hand to take it, and the two of them fought back and forth.

The sound of bamboo swords colliding continued to echo in the yard.

"Huff, huff, old man is pretty good! He's worthy of being a farmer's leader. His physical strength is not inferior to that of young people!" After fighting for a while, Chen Xi replied breathlessly.

He hasn't done much exercise since graduation, and his physical fitness has declined significantly.

No, I have to exercise well when I get back, otherwise I won’t be able to handle so many women.

Chen Xi thought to himself.

"Didn't you just say you were so powerful? Now you can't do it after just a short while." Kousuke Saeki wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I haven't learned much about island swordsmanship. You definitely can't beat me in terms of physical fitness. After all, I'm young! You just won with your skills."

"So do you want to learn the swordsmanship of our Saeki family?"

"In no mood!"

"You..." Kosuke Saeki called him here today to teach him swordsmanship, but he got this answer instead, which made the president very angry.

"Why should I learn your island country's swordsmanship? What's the point of learning it? This is not ancient times. Do I have to go out on the street with a samurai sword every day? After all, I'm not the adopted son of your Saeki family. Shouldn't this kind of thing be passed down to the next generation of the clan?" Chen Xi crossed his arms.

"You've watched too many movies. Our Saeki family knows this sword technique. It's a different era now. You can find a gym to learn other sword techniques. It's not a secret at all. Although many young people in the clan know the family sword technique, only the clan leader knows the last move."

"Oh? Then you told me so much, are you trying to teach me your unique skills?"

"You saw what happened yesterday. The young people in the tribe looked at you unfriendly. In order to ensure that you can win the next competition, it is not a bad thing to learn more. Besides, I also want to find someone to practice sword with me. If you are well trained, you can also protect my daughter."

"Practice swordplay? Why don't you find someone in the tribe to practice with? Oh... I get it. You're afraid of being embarrassed if you lose, hahaha! You said so much because you just want to find someone to play with you, and you also want to maintain your reputation as a strong tribe leader."

Chen Xi stretched out his voice, put his hands on his hips and laughed, while Saeki Kosuke blushed slightly.

Not long after, the sound of bamboo swords colliding with each other was heard from the backyard again.

Saori's bedroom.

"Mother, this is the gift Chen Xi brought you from China." Saori knelt on the ground, holding an exquisite wooden box in her hands with a faint smile on her face.

The wooden box was slowly opened, revealing several small gifts neatly arranged inside.

An emerald green jade bracelet lies quietly on a silk mat, the bracelet body is as warm as water, with a faint luster. Next to it is a silk scarf embroidered with peony patterns, as thin as a cicada's wing, but giving people a heavy and luxurious feeling. There is also a small silver hairpin with a blooming lotus carved on the head, the details are amazing.

Masako Saeki raised her eyebrows, reached out to pick up the jade bracelet, and looked at it carefully.

The bracelet felt warm to the touch, as if it had life flowing through her fingertips.

Although he didn't say it, there was a glimmer of affection in his eyes that was hard to conceal.

"Oh? Why didn't he deliver it personally? Could it be that you bought it yourself to please me by using Chen Xi's name?" Masako Saeki's tone was light, but with a hint of temptation.

A woman's eyes light up when she sees beautiful jewelry. Although Masako Saeki didn't like Chen Xi very much, she was still very happy after seeing the gift, but she kept chattering.

Saori smiled slightly, her eyes clear: "Mother, how could that be! Chen Xi specially selected a few traditional Chinese items, saying that he wanted to express his respect for you."

Masako Saeki snorted and put the jade bracelet on her wrist. The emerald green color made her skin look even whiter. She looked down and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but soon returned to her usual serious expression.

"Hmph, you do know how to pick things." She put down the bracelet, picked up the silk scarf, and gently stroked the peony pattern on it with her fingers.

Seeing this, Saori heaved a sigh of relief and spoke in a softer tone, "As long as mother likes it. Chen Xi also said that these are traditional Chinese crafts, and each one embodies the hard work of the craftsmen."

"Okay, I'll take the stuff. Tell him not to do these empty things next time, and to prove his intention with more practical actions. For example, how to help your father stabilize the agricultural cooperative. The Saeki family needs a capable son-in-law." She waved her hand, her tone still cold, but her eyes were much softer.

Saori nodded slightly, a smile on her face: "I will tell him, mother."

But when Masako Saeki left, Saori made a face and playfully imitated her mother's words: "The Saeki family needs a capable son-in-law... What is this? Shouldn't my daughter need a husband who loves her?"

The room suddenly became quiet, with only the wind blowing gently outside the window, bringing a hint of chill. (End of this chapter)
