"Here, Kevin, here is your salary for this month." Ogden handed a small cloth bag to Kevin and said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Ogden." Kevin received his salary for the first time, and his excitement was beyond words.

"Oh, Mr. Kevin, this has nothing to do with me. It's all your labor income." Ogden was amused by Kevin's excited look of not knowing what to do, and then left after making a few jokes.

After Ogden left, Kevin sat at the desk and opened the small cloth bag. There were five gold coins and dozens of silver coins in it. Kevin, who had no idea about the consumption level of the main city, was extremely satisfied with the reward. , This is his first salary when he grows up.

After playing with those coins happily for a while, Kevin took out a piece of paper and wrote on it as if remembering something.

Today, Kevin returned to Arthur's house a little later than usual, and when he just entered the gate, he ran into Abu who came out.

"Hello, are you going home?" Kevin greeted Abu with a smile while holding his bags.

"Hello, Mr. Kevin, yes." Seeing Kevin struggling, Abu hurried forward to help him pick up a few things, "Have you gone shopping today? I bought so many things, I'll send them back for you."

Kevin's hands, which hadn't moved heavy objects for a long time, were relieved because the weight of the objects had been reduced by half. Kevin's eyes lit up when he heard Abu's proposal. Just now, he was thinking that Arthur's house was too big. You shouldn’t refuse the guard’s help, and now you feel exhausted even if you take a step, but Abu’s suggestion is like an amnesty to Kevin, and his smile is even brighter, “Thank you so much.”

"You're welcome." Abu smiled honestly, and walked towards his bedroom with Kevin, "Speaking of thank you, I should be the one thanking you, I'm very busy, and I can't stay by Nat's side all the time , thanks to you not thinking Nat was naughty and playing with him."

"No," Kevin shook his head, "Nat is very cute, I like it too late to find it annoying, if you have to say who helped whom, I think Nat helped me the most. "

Seeing Abu's puzzled look, Kevin smiled and continued to explain, "I was new here at the time, and I didn't know the place well. To be honest, I felt very lonely in my heart. It was Nat who accompanied me through those days. I can't understand what Nat is talking about, but I really think Nat is a very caring baby. Sometimes when I feel homesick, miss my family and don't want to talk, Nat doesn't bother me, just quietly sit there with me. Maybe you can't understand, but I think it's really good to have a companion by my side when I'm down, so Nat gives me more than I can give Nat There are a lot of them."

"Nat should be very happy when you say that," Abu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "in fact, it accompanied you when you were alone, so why didn't you accompany it when it was lonely? Nat I really like you, Mr. Kevin. Before you came, it was not close to anyone here. Sometimes I was busy completing the tasks assigned to me by the master. When I didn’t have time to take care of it, I also entrusted others to take care of it. , but Nat didn’t like others approaching it, so he ran away while others weren’t paying attention, and played in the garden for a day. It is sleeping soundly. Now because you are here, Nat doesn’t run around anymore, and just likes to follow you. As long as I don’t see Nat now, I will definitely find it when I come to you. It’s easier than before. It's a lot of work."

Hearing what Abu said, Kevin was amused and laughed. Seeing Kevin smile, Abu grinned and laughed along with him.

The two chatted and laughed and arrived in front of Kevin's room. After Abu put things away for Kevin, he was about to leave. Looking at Abu's hill-like back, Kevin suddenly remembered something and called him, "Please wait. one time."

Abu stopped because of Kevin's voice, "Mr. Kevin, is there anything else you want?"

"Well, wait a minute," Kevin responded, and after searching through the purchased items for a while, he handed a bag to Abu, "This is for Tuanzi, ah, no, it's for Nat. "

Abu didn't take the bag in Kevin's hand, but waved his hands repeatedly and said, "How can I want your things, no, no, you'd better take them back."

"Take it," Kevin stuffed the bag into Abu's hands without refusing, "Today is the day I get paid, I promised Nat that I will buy gifts for him when I get paid, and I will follow him I checked it, do you want me to break the contract?"

"This..." Seeing Kevin's insistence, Abu accepted it after thinking about it, "That's really too much trouble for you. I will ask Nat to come and thank you tomorrow."

"Hey, no need," Kevin waved his hands with a smile, "I'll be the happiest if Nat likes my gift. It's getting late now, so you should go back early."

"Well," Abu nodded awkwardly while holding the paper bag, and said with some embarrassment, "Thank you, then I'll go first, and you should go to bed earlier."

"Got it," Kevin nodded, "Be careful on the road."

After Abu left, Kevin turned around and went back to the room. After taking out the bought things one by one, Kevin thought for a while, and walked out the door with one of them. Just as he opened the door, he saw a person Standing at the door, still maintaining the posture of knocking, "Mr. Arthur?"

Unexpectedly, Kevin would open the door again. Arthur, who stopped his movements, looked at Kevin with a puzzled expression, his ears quivered twice involuntarily, coughed lightly in embarrassment, and then said, "Hello."

"Hello, Mr. Arthur." Kevin, who didn't know why Arthur was here, also greeted Arthur with some hesitation, and then asked softly, "Are you okay, Mr. Arthur?"

"Uh..." Feeling so uncomfortable for the first time, Arthur looked around and said, "It's nothing. You just came back, so I want to ask if you have any trouble working in the library."

"Ah, no, no," hearing that Arthur came to him for this, Kevin showed a bright smile on his face, and quickly denied, "I did well there, and I didn't encounter any troubles. I came back so late because I went shopping."

"Shopping?" This time it was Arthur's turn to be puzzled, because since Kevin came here, he stayed at home every day and did not go out. Now that he has a job, he goes back and forth between the library and home every day. Arthur I don't understand why Kevin thought of going shopping so well.

"Yeah," Kevin smiled a little happily and a little embarrassed, "Did I pay my wages today, so I went to the street to buy some things, ah, yes," Kevin said, holding the baby in his arms. The bag was handed to Arthur, "This is for you."

"Give it to me?" Arthur raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the items in the bag, "Why did you remember to give it to me?" That's what he said, but the corners of Arthur's mouth curled up involuntarily at this moment .

"Well, because I paid my wages today, I should buy something to thank you for helping me these days." Kevin explained calmly.

"You're really too polite." After hearing Kevin's answer, the smile on Arthur's face disappeared, and he didn't know why he felt a little unhappy.

"No, no," Kevin waved his hands again and again, "No, it's because I'm very grateful, but I don't know what to do, so I thought of buying gifts for everyone, especially you, Mr. Arthur, from the very beginning. Until now, you have always taken care of me like that..." As he spoke, Kevin's ears turned red again, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "Well, the lunch you bring to me at noon every day... Thank you very much. "

"Lunch?" Arthur frowned first, and then he understood for a while. The discomfort in his heart disappeared because of Kevin's red ear tips. He asked with a chuckle, "Are you satisfied with lunch?"

"Of course." Kevin raised his head and nodded vigorously, his eyes full of emotion, "Thank you for taking care of my eating habits so carefully."

There is a reason why Kevin was moved. From the first time he came to another world to some time ago, Kevin basically lived on meat and occasional fruits. For Kevin who grew up eating rice and pasta, After a long period of time like this, it becomes a torture.But Kevin is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be polite and polite. Since he is borrowing from someone else's house, he can't be picky eaters. He has to eat more fruits and less meat every day to balance things out.

Days like this passed day by day, until Kevin went to work in the library, and Ogden would send lunch every day, until one day, when Kevin opened the basket, he found that there were not only meat and fruit in it, but also rice and Vegetables, this really surprised Kevin. He always thought that there was no rice in this world. As for vegetables, he had hardly seen them.

A lively little attendant named Hoss brought lunch every day. His animal shape was a red panda [the kind that looks a little like a raccoon]. Seeing Kevin’s expression, he thought it was a sign of today’s Dissatisfied with the dishes, he asked with some concern, "Mr. Kevin, don't you like these things? Either I'll go and get you something else."

"Oh, no, I'm very satisfied." After regaining his senses, Kevin put the lid aside and said with a smile, "How come there are...uh, vegetables and rice today?"

"It's the master's order." Hoss replied as a matter of course.

"Master? Mr. Ogden?" Kevin asked.

"Of course not," Hoss denied with a stupid expression on your face, "it's Master Arthur."

"Mr. Arthur?" Kevin was surprised again.

"Yes," Hoss has always admired Arthur, and said cheerfully, shaking his long fluffy tail, "the master said that your favorite food is probably different from ours, so let me send you something different every day. Give it a try, haven't you noticed?"

"Uh...no." Because I don't have much pursuit of food anymore, I often eat while reading a book, completely ignoring what is delivered, so as to save myself the pain of wanting to eat this and not being able to eat that.

"Oh, what a happy thing to eat, how can you be so perfunctory?" Seeing Kevin's guilty expression, Hoss thought it was incredible, but when his eyes touched the food in Kevin's hand, his expression changed again. It turned into doubt, "But, why do you like to eat unpalatable vegetables? The rice is also dry. I think fruits and meat are more delicious."

"Are the vegetables unpalatable?" Kevin took a bite of the slightly sweet vegetables and was a little puzzled. "It's delicious. Did you give it away yesterday?"

"Yeah, you were like that yesterday, and you ate it all in one bite," Hoss swallowed in one bite, with a completely shocked expression, "Why do you like vegetables, you are really strange. "

"Hehe, is that so?" Kevin smiled dryly, and brought the question to his own doubts, "So the current food is what you decided after observing me for a few days?"

"Yeah." Hoss nodded, "I even went to report to the master, and the master said that it would be fine to bring you lunch like this in the future, with everything to match, so that you can only eat a little something every day, hey, The master is really caring."

"That's it..." Kevin's eyes refocused on the meat and vegetable dishes, and he felt warm in his heart.

"What are you thinking, so preoccupied?" A voice brought Kevin back to his senses, and met Arthur's somewhat dissatisfied eyes, "What good things are you thinking about, your face is blushing."

"Uh, I didn't think about anything." Kevin shook his head, avoiding Arthur's eyes in a panic.

"Really," Arthur didn't continue to ask, shaking the bag in his hand, "I will accept your gift, thank you."

"No, I should thank you." Kevin said seriously.

"Heh..." Because of Kevin's words, the smile on Arthur's face faded again, "It's getting late, let's go to dinner after packing up, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Hmm..." Kevin nodded, feeling that Arthur was a little unhappy, hesitant to speak while watching Arthur's leaving back, because he didn't know why Arthur was suddenly unhappy.

"That..." Kevin, who was about to turn around and close the door just now, was stopped by Arthur's voice again.

"What?" Kevin quickly turned around and looked at Arthur with bright eyes.

"That..." Looking into Kevin's clear eyes, Arthur smiled, "You can rest the day after tomorrow, right? If we have time, let's go for an outing together the day after tomorrow."

Facing Arthur's invitation, Kevin was only taken aback for a moment, and then smiled brightly, "Okay!"
