Zongman: Being the leader in the wild world

Shen Yuling thought about it from another perspective. If she was abused and then rescued, she would probably think about her future destination.

So, Oda Sakunosuke talked with Dazai Osamu about the issue of whether to stay or leave?

Given how much Dazai Osamu cared about Oda Sakunosuke, he probably didn't want Oda Sakunosuke to leave.

This is easy to do. Just think of it as selling it to Dazai Osamu.

"You want to repay me? Sure, why don't you stay and help me take care of my good-for-nothing brother."

When Oda Sakunosuke heard Shen Yuling asking him to stay, he subconsciously frowned. He thought that Shen Yuling wanted him to obey her like those who imprisoned him. But after hearing words like "take care of" and "brother", he was stunned for a moment and his eyes slowly shifted to Dazai Osamu beside him.

Dazai Osamu: "..."

Shen Yuling didn't care what Dazai Osamu was feeling at the moment, and continued to speak: "I don't know what my useless brother is thinking about all day long. He keeps committing suicide, either by hanging or drowning. I'm very busy every day and don't have time to take care of him, so I can only trouble you to help take care of him. I think the age difference between you is not that big, and people of the same age may have more common topics."

Is a five-year age difference not considered a big difference? Doesn’t it mean that a five-year age difference is a generation gap?

Oda Sakunosuke didn't say anything. His mind was a little confused. He recognized every word Shen Yuling said, so why couldn't he recognize it when they were put together?

Seeing that he didn't seem to believe it, Shen Yuling said to Dazai Osamu: "Brother Shuzhi, tell me about your past great achievements."

Dazai Osamu: "...You've already said it, what should I say? Adding dishwashing liquid to food?"

Oda Sakunosuke: “…” What should I do? It feels so outrageous, but inexplicably it feels true.

Shen Yuling: "You see, this child has been so rebellious since he was young. Mr. Oda, I really don't have time to take care of him. I can only ask you to help take care of him and don't let him die."

Oda Sakunosuke could understand this as "As long as you don't die, it's fine"...is that right?

Shen Yuling: "Don't worry, food and accommodation are provided, and there is also a salary."

Oda Sakunosuke: "...Are you hiring a babysitter?"

Shen Yuling: "You can also understand it as hiring you as his playmate... Well, maybe it would be better to describe it as a reading companion in ancient times? Forget it, that's what it means anyway, so are you willing?"

Oda Sakunosuke: “…”

Shen Yuling: "Of course, if you don't want to, I can only send you to an orphanage. After all, you are not a child of the Tsushima family, and I have no obligation to take care of you."

Oda Sakunosuke: "No, I'd love to. Compared to going to an orphanage where I don't know what the situation is, I think staying at the Tsushima family is the best place for me right now."

Shen Yuling: "Okay, I'll draw up a contract later."

Oda Sakunosuke: "Contract? Isn't this a bit too formal?"

Shen Yuling: "Isn't it better to be more formal? It can save a lot of trouble later. I don't like to waste time on useless things."

Oda Sakunosuke: “That’s true.”

He nodded in agreement, very seriously.

Shen Yuling: “…”

Forget it, at least I can keep this person here.

She glanced at Dazai Osamu, who was also looking at her. When he saw her looking at him, he proudly turned his gaze away, with a look on his face that said "I won't thank you."

Thinking about the confrontations between the two in the past, it was inevitable that Dazai Osamu felt uncomfortable now that Shen Yuling was helping him.

No matter whether he feels comfortable or not, as long as Shen Yuling can achieve her goal, it’s fine.
