[Comprehensive] Just a housekeeper

After confessing, Saikawa still maintains the same daily life as before, even Daifuku who came back at some time later, only Natsume... he is very reluctant to maintain.It comforted Kashiwagi and Tayue, and at the same time prevented their intention to visit.Except for the necessity of going to school, he always insisted on staying by Xichuan's side.As long as they see Saikawa doing housework, they will rush to do it, including cooking. After learning from Kashiwagi, even if Natsume's cooking has not reached Saikawa's level, at least he has caught up with Warwick's craftsmanship.

When receiving affirmation from Sai Chuan, he rarely smiled after knowing Sai Chuan's physical condition.

It can be said that as long as it is within Natsume's sight range, Saikawa has no activity.Although it is considered as a fragile glass-like object, but considering Natsume's mood at this time, Saikawa shrugged and let him helplessly.Natsume-kun was hesitant to talk about even his job, so he simply resigned.

Anyway, enough money has been earned.

But this is all later. The next day after Natsume learned about Saikawa's situation, Saikawa was going out to attend a funeral.

Even with Daifuku's comfort all night, Natsume tossed and turned and did not fall asleep. Natsume with swollen eyes felt a little unstable again when she heard Saikawa say the funeral, but finally maintained calm in front of Saikawa.

After reconfirming with Natsume whether they are together, after getting an affirmative answer, Saikawa and Natsume prepared food for Daifuku, put on black formal clothes together, got in the car and went out.Passing by a familiar flower shop, I took out the white-tone bouquet that I had ordered before and drove straight to the target.

Black background, white flowers, the old monk invited by the host is reciting scriptures, the voice is not loud, but every syllable seems to be beating in the ears of the visitors, refreshing.The altar and the coffin in the hall were surrounded by various bouquets. The deceased was a well-known old man. Apart from relatives, many other friends attended his funeral.

Saikawa and Natsume, who were holding white flowers, entered one by one, lined up and followed the others to mourn.However, when some of the people who knew Saikawa or Natsume saw Natsume behind Saikawa, they couldn't help but start whispering with others.

Xi Chuan frowned, put his hand to his lips and coughed.

After the main process was finished, Xichuan asked Natsume to wait for him in a relatively quiet courtyard in a low voice. He needed to communicate with the people in the main house before going back.

Hearing some discussions that were no longer low-pitched, Natsume nodded silently, and went out obediently.

Xi Chuan sighed, and after Natsume left, he turned around and comforted the family of the deceased, and then took the initiative to walk towards those relatives.He didn't come here this time just to mourn for the sake of the invitation. According to the information Lin Qiaomei fed back to him, he quickly chatted with the people present.

It was alright at first, but after looking closely and asking a few clever little questions, Saikawa couldn't help frowning even more.

Unqualified.

None of the people present who were screened out by him were suitable for adopting Natsume.Part of it is a character problem, and the other part is family factors and inconvenient background.

Marking these people with a red cross in his heart, Xi Chuan, who was too lazy to make false claims with these already 'eliminated' guys, simply ended the topic, and quickly withdrew from the hall.

Thinking about the remaining candidates, Xi Chuan found the courtyard, but suddenly stopped when he was going to find Natsume.

In the courtyard of the boss, Natsume was sitting alone at the stone table and stone bench in the corner, while on the other side of the courtyard, two smoking men gathered at the back of the house, chatting a few words from time to time. Behind them, there was another person who came out to breathe.

It wasn't Natsume or the smoker over there that caught Saikawa's attention, but the man who came out alone.

Fujiwara Shigeru, one of the selected candidates.

Wearing glasses, the middle-aged man with an elegant and gentle temperament, although he is no longer young, his eyes are still bright and penetrating.From this person's mellow and gentle aura, it can be roughly seen that Xi Chuan's personality has doubled his favorability.

This person is the most suitable person in his information.

He and his wife have no children, and both of them are well-known good people in the neighborhood, including Lin Qiaomei, so the evaluation of them is not bad.

Although he is gentle, he is not an unprincipled Xiaobai. He is very safe in life and things, and his three views are very upright.Possibly same-sex attraction, and his wife did the same.

……

Looking at the gray and gloomy sky, Shigeru Fujiwara, who came out to take a breath, was a little dazed, with a expressionless face, he seemed to be thinking about something heavy, but in fact...

Shigeru Fujiwara murmured silently in her heart: Did Tako eat well...

"Why did that kid come here? Ah, it's really bad luck. I don't know what that person was thinking, but he even brought him here."

Sudden complaints came to his ears not far away, Shigeru Fujiwara glanced over, and saw two people smoking in the corner to 'breathe' like him.

"You're talking about that again." A said with his back turned to Zi in disgust.

Another person b with his back to Zi said: "Tsk, it's not because it's too bad luck. My family had a headache at that time. That year my child had to prepare for the exam, and my wife was a little nervous."

"So you pushed him to someone else at that time."

"Don't be so blunt."

b: "In short, my family is absolutely not allowed. When he is in my house, he always says some strange things to scare my family."

A: "Now it seems that that person probably doesn't want to keep his appearance."

"It must be."

Frowning slightly between his brows, Fujiwara Shigeru turned his head away, he would not casually criticize others for things he half understood, but although he didn't show anything on the surface, he was very displeased with such a conversation in his heart.

unlucky?Push it to others?No matter how you listen to these words, it doesn't mean to respect people, especially the people he said should be regarded as his family members in the past.

In other words, he didn't regard the person who was supposed to be his family as his family at all.

This made Zi, who valued his family very much, feel uncomfortable, and looked away to stay in another place.Suddenly, he spotted a young man sitting on a stone bench in the corner of the courtyard.

The light-haired boy sat quietly on the stool. The fit and wide black suit made the boy's thin back look extraordinarily straight. He sat upright, with his hands on his lap, and he was clearly a well-educated child.However, beside the stone table, withered vines twined around the old tree, the young man was facing the wall, and the bleak autumn wind blew his hair, curling the fallen leaves and flying away into the distance.It wasn't a very strange scene, but Mr. Zi felt an inexplicable desolation and fragility from his back. Coupled with the fact that there was no one around him, this child seemed even more helpless and confused.

Is this who they say they are?still a child?Mr. Zi was a little surprised, but at the same time felt a little pity.

It may be because of the ruthless words blurted out by those so-called 'adults', or it may just be hit by the scene in front of me to a soft place in my heart.

Mr. Zi felt that an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, but it was so fast that he didn't even realize what it was.

Saikawa, who was secretly observing Shigeru Fujiwara, tilted his head.

After hearing that passage, there was no malice against Natsume, no random guesses or other reactions.not bad.

Saikawa touched his chin, and when he was about to go up to talk, he was spotted by Natsume on the other side.

It has to be said that the positions of Saikawa, Natsume, and Fujiwara Shigeru can be said to be a triangle.The two neighbors turned their backs to each other sideways, so the one standing in front would always be spotted by the one behind.

"Mr. Saikawa."

Sitting on the stone bench, Xia Mu's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth lifted, and a calm and warm smile suddenly appeared on that clear and meaningful face.In the eyes of Shigeru Fujiwara, the young man who was as cold as the bright moon in the sky suddenly fell into the world.

Standing up and walking in front of Saikawa, Natsume obediently asked, "Is Mr. Xichuan all healed?"

"Yeah." Saikawa closed his eyes and stroked Natsume's hair.

"We've all said hello, and we can leave too."

Talking to Natsume about the dinner plan after returning home, Saikawa led Natsume in the direction of that Mr. Shi, and also walked in the direction of the exit.

The same visitor who came to pay homage, Mr. Zi also roughly recognized who he was when he saw Xichuan approaching him.When both parties came nearby, Saikawa, Natsume and Shigeru nodded at each other and met each other calmly.

When they met for the first time, neither of them spoke, but when Xichuan and the others were about to walk past Zi...

"that……"

Xi Chuan stopped and turned around with Natsume.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Keigo Saikawa?" At this time, Mr. Zi, who was originally calm and composed, looked at Saichuan with some hesitation.

Xi Chuan raised his eyebrows: "I am."

Shigeru Fujiwara held out his hand towards Saikawa with some surprise in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Hi, hello, Mr. Saikawa, I am Shigeru Fujiwara, from Kumamoto Prefecture, to be honest, I am actually your teacher and your book fan, and I like him very much." works, especially the latest book, "Although I Always Want the Unreachable."

"?!"

She never expected to shake hands with this Saikawa who answered the conversation in such a way with a somewhat dull Kazuki.

"If, yes..." Mr. Zi asked tentatively with a hesitant expression.The very polite behavior made it impossible to raise any antipathy towards him.

Xi Chuan nodded.

Natsume saw that Mr. Saikawa's book fan quickly took out a small notebook from his pocket, and then frantically fumbled through his pockets but couldn't find a pen.

Finally, when he was in distress, a hand appeared in front of him with a ballpoint pen on it. He was taken aback, and looked up to see the gentle boy before him stretching out his hand, looking at him nervously.

"Well, if it's a pen, I have it with me."
