[Rebirth of the Future] Furutake Era

However, it is clear that the salary of temporary workers cannot meet Shiba’s requirements. After weanly saying goodbye to Kodo and rejecting his offer to send him home, Shiba looks at the neon lights passing by outside the bus, The lower half of my mind was crushed heavily.

He was literally as guilty as hell.

Just because he wanted to show off some of his own cleverness, he extended such a debt to himself without thinking.

For the first time, Shiba realized soberly that maybe without Tomart's care, he would not even be able to earn money for meals.

He can't even recognize the text of the entire Federation!

So what did I come to this world for? I can’t lift my shoulders or lift my hands. I don’t have the ability to be independent, and it’s hard to go out.

Maybe there's federal relief money anyway?

Pooh!

Shiba ruthlessly rejected his own idea in his heart, when the bus arrived at the station, the looping radio at the rear of the bus kept broadcasting his name.

The section of the road back to the slums was a bit twisted, the street lights illuminated the dim residential area, and formed a strong contrast with the luxury apartments towering into the clouds not far away, Shiba stood there and stared at the building with some sentimentality , his eyes flickered, and suddenly he heard a soft siren sound behind him.

How can there be cars in the slums?

Shiba glanced back suspiciously. It was a pure black business suspension car, which looked expensive. That's right, people who could afford a suspension car probably had some reputation in the common people.After all, the price of a car in the ancient Earth City is too different from that of the civilian planet, and most people will still choose ordinary energy vehicles on the civilian planet.

It's none of his business anyway.Eighteen turned his head, intending to ignore this strange car and walked into the dark alley, he could almost see Tomato waiting for him eagerly.

"and many more."

There was a call from behind, and the voice sounded very familiar. At the same time as the sound of the car door closing, Shiba turned his head to look——

Nan Qijin leaned on the black car, looking at herself with her back to the street light, his expression could not be seen clearly from the backlight, Shiba could only feel his eyes as dark as ink looking at her intently.

Seeing him turn around, Nan Qijin seemed a little unhappy when she spoke again: "You are really capable, you didn't even say hello when you saw me."

"..." I don't know your car...

Shiba looked at the unfriendly appearance of the people in front of him, and looked back with some concern. The dim light in the distance made him feel a little unreal. In fact, he felt a little powerless when dealing with the original owner's family.

"Come and sit at home? Have a cup of tea?" Shiba thought about it, and decided to be polite.

Nan Qijin raised her eyebrows in surprise, as if she hadn't expected the indifferent attitude of the person in front of her, and then her eyes suddenly became playful——

"it is good."

Shiba fell silent, and had no intention of leading the way. In fact, he just said a polite word, but he didn't expect Nan Qijin to actually agree.

"Hehehe..."

Nan Qijin didn't move, she still leaned against the wall of his car, lowered her head and supported her forehead and smiled lowly. Shiba looked at this person inexplicably, and didn't dare to say anything more easily.

This Nan Qijin...he couldn't figure it out.

The memory of the original owner for 16 years was not lost at all, at least the number of times this Nan Qijin appeared in the original memory could not explain his familiar attitude towards him at all.

"You are really different from before."

Nan Qijin raised her head, there was no smile in her eyes, her dark pupils stared fixedly at Shiba as if she wanted to see through something, Shiba resolutely looked back, Nan Qijin looked very dissatisfied, but still didn't say much What, he got up and opened the car door and took out a gray card from the side of the seat——

"Father asked me to give it to you."

Shiba frowned: "What is that?"

"What do you think?" Nan Qijin threw the card on the hood of the car, crossed his arms and looked around for a few times at this slum area that would be gloomy at night, some unknown emotions flashed across his face quickly, he Pursing her lips, she didn't look at Shiba: "Is this arranged by your mother?"

Shiba sneered and nodded, what did this man want to express?Does the cat cry for the mouse?Don't tell yourself they don't know anything...

Nan Qijin turned her head and glanced at Shiba quickly, her eyes softened a little: "You...are you okay."

Shiba flinched inexplicably, Nan Qijin's greetings always gave him a very strange feeling, he did not intend to talk to Nan Qijin: "I remember, I have moved out of Nan's house, even if General Nan wants to give me You shouldn't be here for the living expenses."

"you--"

Nan Qijin widened her eyes and gave Shiba a look in disbelief, then turned her head and said something even more inexplicable: "I... If you can't forgive me... then so be it."

He raised his hand to pick up the card beside him, and strode towards Shiba: "Here is the living expenses that my father asked me to give you, and—"

Seeing Shiba approaching him, he subconsciously wanted to take two steps back. Nan Qijin quickly grabbed his arm, and then stuffed the card into the inner pocket of Shiba's jacket: "Mother asks you, don't spread the word about you and me in the academy." The Nan family's relationship is close to what you know, father's status is not easy to maintain."

He leaned close to Shiba's ear, and sprayed warm breath on Shiba's neck: "I'm sorry."

Shiba clutched his neck, half of his cheeks were already flushed, he stared blankly at the hovering car going away in the sky, the license plate of the Federation Ancient Earth City swung ostentatiously at the rear of the car——

What did his last sentence... mean?

Shiba racked his brains to dig out the emotional entanglement between the original owner and him from the depths of his memory, but he found nothing except the dull pain in his temple.

Ugh--

Shiba sighed, took out the card in his jacket pocket, pasted it on the communicator and showed that there were [-] federal coins in it.

Maybe with this added, it's not enough for me to make compensation... Shiba couldn't help feeling pessimistically annoyed, it seemed that he was going to find a job sooner.

He turned around and turned on the bright light on the communicator to shine into the alley. The top priority now is to get home as soon as possible, otherwise Tomat should be in a hurry.

The light swept across the dilapidated wall and fell on the shadow under the big tree at the entrance. Shiba opened his mouth in surprise——

"To...Tomat, why did you come out?"

************************************************** **********

Fuck!

Nan Qijin leaned on the soft cushion, and outside the window was the fleeting scenery of civilian stars that was completely different from the ancient earth city. Towering buildings can be seen everywhere, and the car nimbly avoided the commercial buildings in front of it and drove towards the interstellar tunnel. Nan Qijin After thinking about it with his forehead, he got up and changed his route and stopped on the beach next to the entrance of the Star Highway.

Nan Qijin lay on his back on the sandy ground, gazing at the shining starry sky and the dim yellow moon that could never be seen in the ancient earth city, Ye Fei blowing on his face, the side face was scratched a little by the slightly longer hair on the temples.

call--

Nan Qijin let out a long breath, and the cold and unfamiliar look that Nan Shiba looked at her not long ago was circling in her mind——

Has he... put it down?

After leaving the affluent Nan's family and coming to live such a life of poverty and poverty, God knows that when I first came down, I saw the anger of that dilapidated residential area, and I almost couldn't hold back my mother's communication and had a big fight.

This should not be the result he got...

But I seem to be completely unable to change this situation, and even, soon, I have to meet a girl who has no feelings under the delicate arrangement, and then fall in love, get married, and live a lifetime.

Nan Qijin gritted her teeth, wiped her face and jumped up from the ground——

But before I become independent, I absolutely cannot resist the arrangement of the Nan family, at least, I have to wait until I graduate...

Watch it!

Shiba's face flashed again in his mind, Nan Qijin frowned, and recalled it with some doubts, it was really strange, once he moved out of Nan's house, he seemed to be a different person...

***********************************

"Tomat~ how did you come out?"

Shiba made a mistake, and when he saw Tomato, he couldn't help feeling guilty: "Brother just came here."

Tomart obviously cared about this very much. He came over and straightened Shiba's clothes, and touched his cheek with a gloomy expression: "Did he kiss you just now?"

How...how could it be! ! ! ?

Eighteen blushed, how could Tomato think of this...

His head turned left and right at such a high speed that the naked eye couldn't see clearly: "No! He just told me what Mrs. Nan asked him to convey!"

Under the oppressive eyes of Tomat, Shiba told the whole story. Listening to Shiba's narration, Tomat's eyes became colder and colder, and in the end he punched the dilapidated wall hard. ——

"Too deceiving!"

After finally comforting Tomat, who kept nagging sorry for Shiba, Shiba let out a sigh of relief, went upstairs to take a shower, and was called down to have some supper.

Thomat crouched across the sofa, eyes downcast, looking tired and old, one of the few times he really showed his true age.

Shiba was a little worried about him, and carefully moved to his side holding the roll noodles sprinkled with spices: "...Tomat..."

Tomat looked up at him, with a guilty expression on his face, he raised his hand and stroked Shiba's furry head, and then sighed: "I knew that General Nan was such a person... I wouldn't let you die." Mother was with him."

Shiba pursed his lips. Although he was not interested, at such a time, the old man still couldn't let the old man remember alone.

"My mother... what's her last name?"

"...Her surname is Su."

Shiba rolled up the noodles and sent them to his mouth, but was rejected by Tomat with a smile. With a look of nostalgia on his face, he looked up at the dim yellow lights on the roof: "At that time, he was just a schoolboy. The child of a high-ranking officer is not as capable and strong as he is now, if not for your mother's help at any cost, no matter what, this General Nan would never have appeared..."

Eighteen lowered his head, smelling the aroma from the tip of his nose and the old man's narration in his ear, with a slight satisfied smile on his face——

No matter what the past is, what is the present, what is the future.

This is his home, and Tomart is his only family.

I will protect him at all costs.
