The outcome was doomed from the beginning.

"Chief Gong, you have become more capable..."

Do you want me to collect the rent from Mashiro on your behalf? I remember that you haven’t established any relationship yet, right?"

Well, Xing Ke was speechless.

Although Chihiro-sensei is a decent social person no matter how unreliable she is, she will take the initiative to pay the rent even if she doesn’t have to pay it right now, right?

This is not a question of whether people are familiar with each other or whether the relationship is good or not, but a matter of social common sense.

Teacher Chihiro, who is not a relative, has a serious job. No matter how good the relationship is, there is no way he can live in someone else's property without paying rent?

But now that she is asked to move back to the staff dormitory, she is not used to it. She has long recognized Xingke as the landlord in her heart. It's just that she doesn't want to flatter Xingke like other landlords. They have known each other for more than two years.

At least Xing Mo still understands this.

The only pity is that it is impossible for this guy to welcome the landlord into the door. This is really a big pity.

However, when Xingke saw Sakurasou that had been renovated but retained its original flavor, he stopped thinking about the others.

Because it is a log building with a steel frame, the old wood was replaced with new and valuable wood, and the steel frame was replaced with new materials. The places that should have been "clicking, clicking" no longer have this phenomenon.

.

But just by seeing the [Sakurasou] signboard for new products, I immediately doubted whether Sakurasou would really attract thieves if I passed by a person who knew the goods.

The value of this piece of wood is much greater than what a thief would get from breaking into an empty door a dozen times, and since it's still outside the door, there's a greater chance of getting it.

But even though the market price of the main part of Sakurasou's houses increased dozens of times overnight, the designers still did not let the renovated Sakurasou lose its original charm.

Although it is not an elegant charm, Sakurasou itself reveals the fresh and old flavor of the early era. It can be regarded as a "sense of age" or a "flavor of life", right?

Opening the door that was more than a little smooth, Xingji saw at first sight a pale golden figure sitting on the steps. From far to near, he bumped into his arms.

"Zhenbai, I'm back."

"Welcome back."

Hoshiki was so overwhelmed that he almost lost his balance, and the attacker was so excited that he didn't know the severity of the attack. Hoshiki and Mashiro maintained a strange posture at the door and said goodbye to each other.

"Why don't you just wait in England for me to pick you up? Let's discuss it, right?"

"I don't know. I just feel that it will be faster inside."

"...How do you know?"

"Qianxun told me."

It seems that Teacher Qianxun is also capable of doing some good things.

Although I didn't come to greet him in person, there is no doubt that sending a Mashiro is much better than a bad-tempered Ben Sannu.

But the question Xingke just asked was not about "Why did you know that I was coming back at this time?"

But forget it, a small misunderstanding is harmless.

"Your relationship is still as good as ever."

Turkic, a neon language with an English tone that implies anger, appeared at the corner of the corridor.

"Hurry up and leave! This is not France!"

She slowly straightened Mashiro's body and put it aside, then smiled sheepishly at the sulky Rita.

Indeed, one shouldn't be surprised.

It is impossible for Mashiro to come to Neon alone, otherwise the chance of something happening is not as high as usual, so Rita will definitely follow, and if she follows, she will definitely not leave, otherwise Chihiro will definitely be feeding Mashiro either takeout or instant noodles.

It was logical that Rita would be here, and it was logical that Teacher Chihiro would not notify just one person.

"Asshole Qianxun, it's a shame that I just thought you had a good conscience..."

………………

After returning to Room 101, the room where he originally belonged, Xingji found that the place was not dusty because of his absence. Instead, it had a completely new feeling.

No, it should be said that it was replaced with a new one, right? Although the style and color are almost the same as before, it is definitely not the original one, right?

He didn't have to worry about the original set of star-carved furniture. After all, the additional magic star carvings of [Curing] and [Dust-Proof] were fully installed.

But this set of highly imitated and highly restored new furniture has more than doubled its appearance and quality, but it lacks any magical added value.

There is also an extra framed photo on the table, which was not there before.

The photo showed a young girl with long straight black hair holding a **-year-old boy who was very reluctant to be held by her.

Judging from the situation, it seems that the young girl wanted to take a photo with the little boy, but the little boy was holding an unknown piece of paper in his hand, with a look of disgust on his face, but he couldn't resist and was hugged by the girl.

"It turns out it's you..."

Xing Ji picked up the photo and didn't know what expression to make.

This is the first time he has encountered such a "personalized" and "involving" mother figure.

Although he has experienced countless mothers, each with different personalities, values, and even good and evil, the current one seems to be somewhat unique.

I saw that there were no photos of my family on my desk, so I put them on my desk?

What is this? Do you want me to be moved? Do you want me to see things and feel your emotions? Do you want me to...

"There's really nothing we can do about you. Let's go back and take a look another day."

The photo was taken when Xingke was a child. At that time, the research laboratory restored the original technology and smart mobile terminal in Xingke's memory for the first time and made a prototype mobile phone with a Selfie function.

Kazuye was very fond of the new toy that Xingke had tinkered with, and pulled Xingke to take pictures.

Since a large amount of money was spent on the prototype, the photos are still very clear to this day, recording the harmonious time between Hoshiki and Kazuyo's mother when he was young.

Although the younger one is responsible for making money and supporting the family, the older one is responsible for being as beautiful as a flower.

It's just that when Xingke wanted to move out when he was a freshman in high school, Kazuye's mother remained silent and didn't say anything. However, the reluctance spreading in her eyes was very contradictory to acquiescing to this choice.

She never disturbed her own life. This time, at Xingke's own request, she came to the place where her son had lived for two years for the first time. Did she leave a photo as proof in the end?

What was she thinking?

Do you want to respect Xingke's choice? Or something else...

"Tch, it's because of this strange feeling that I thought it might be better to stay away from you."
