[Comprehensive] The neighbor's she is too popular

Xingyin carried the plastic lunch box temporarily lent by the cooking company, and walked home listlessly on the way home.

Today is the first day I went to the cooking club. The seniors have been busy fighting with each other, and they have no time to talk to the newcomers.

So Xingyin was free to bake cookies.

Speaking of it, it seems that the cooking club has always had very few members, and there are about five people on the edge of the abandoned club.And because the two junior high school seniors graduated, there are actually only three elderly people in the cooking club.

【Those three people don't seem to like cooking very much...】

[The reason why I chose to bake cookies is because it is very convenient.I also borrowed a lunch box from the cooking company to take home. 】

[Ah, isn't it the new neighbors who are moving in?Just gave cookies to neighbors as a token of kindness. 】

【Well, I tried it, and it tastes perfect. 】

Xingyin thought of Xiaochun and Jingzi, two newcomers she met at the restaurant.

The two girls seem to have known each other for a long time, and the relationship is very tacit and intimate. They also talked and laughed perfectly during the cooking.

【... There is absolutely no room for a third person to intervene. 】

Xingyin sighed in despair.

【so difficult. 】

[Interpersonal communication is so difficult. 】

[I completely agree with the saying "Interpersonal communication is difficult". 】

[I also can't understand the behavior of human beings who like to forcibly live in groups. 】

[I prefer to be alone. 】

【So that young lady who is suspected to be my new neighbor who is trying to figure out how to get along with my family, you don't have to be so distressed at all. 】

[Because my mother has the super power of "familiar with the whole community within three days". 】

[Of course, if there are delicious snacks, I can barely accept them. 】

【……Eh? 】

Saiki Kusuo stood at the gate of his new home, watching Xingyin slowly walk over.

She turned her head sideways and stared at the ground, thinking wildly, not even noticing her gaze.

Whether it's the long light brown curly hair loosely tied up by a hair band, the purple cat's eyes, or the looming tear mole just below the left eye, they are all terribly familiar.

Even the barrage of crazy thoughts floating in his mind is exactly the same as in his memory.

[Is there such a coincidence in the world? 】

[No, it's just a coincidence. 】

[Just people who look alike. 】

Xingyin has raised her head and met Qi Mu's gaze.

She stayed where she was.

Qi Mu and her were in a stalemate for about ten seconds, and she finally came to her senses, ran over, and stood still in front of Qi Mu.

Xingyin looked at him happily: "Kusuo! Long time no see!"

【Ah, what a coincidence. 】

【wait wait wait……】

Qi Mu turned his head and glanced at the nameplate his neighbor hung on the door.

The huge "Bamboo" is extremely dazzling.

【real or fake……】

"Kusuo Kusuo, don't you remember me?" Xingyin was a little anxious, couldn't help but tugged on the sleeve of his coat, and shook it slightly, "It's me, sister Xingyin, do you remember?"

【What the hell sister, I've never called you before, okay?It's all your own imagination. 】

"Kusuo, Kusuo, you really don't remember me? We all went to kindergarten together when we were young..."

[Because they are neighbors, it is not normal to go to kindergarten together.That's right, we were neighbors when we were in kindergarten. 】

"Later, you changed schools and moved, and I cried and ran after your car for a long time."

【...No way, who let me cover you in kindergarten.And don't tell the black history as shameful as comics in a serious way. 】

"But do you remember? Later, when I was in primary school, my parents changed jobs and just moved to your house again! What a coincidence!"

[What a coincidence! 】

"We often went to school together in elementary school! Kusuo, do you remember?!"

[Don't "Kusuo Kusuo", it's too noisy. 】

"But then my parents changed jobs, and I moved again..."

【Your parents' jobs are too unstable. 】

"I thought we would never see each other again! Kusuo! So happy!"

Xingyin stuffed the lunch box with cookies in her hand to Qi Mu.

"This is a meeting ceremony for a long-lost reunion!...Eh? You haven't remembered who I am, have you? Kusuo——"

Well, shut up and stop calling me.Saiki's eyes moved from the stuffed lunch box to Xingyin's face, Takemoto-san, right?

"It's Miss Xingyin."

【No, I refuse this title, you are only a few months older than me. 】

Xingyin's eyebrows were all knit together: "Kusuo, you used to call me sister all the time, have you forgotten?"

【Your memory seems to be messed up.Need me to knock you out and calm down? 】

"Speaking of it, Kusuo." Xingyin put her hands behind her back and blinked at him, "Why are you here?"

[No matter how slow you are, there must be a limit. Didn't you notice that I was planning to go home? 】

"Kusuo, you are so shy now, you don't want to talk to me anymore."

Xingyin's gaze flicked across the gate of the new neighbor's house and the nameplate on the door.

"Hey, my new neighbor is also named Qi Mu..."

"Kusuo!!!!"

[Okay, it's noisy, don't make a fuss, it's not the first time we're neighbors. 】

Xingyin rushed over and seemed to want to hold Saiki's shoulders as before, but found that this posture required two people of equal height to be perfect, so she grabbed Saiki's elbow instead: "Kusuo! Could it be! Are you My new neighbor?!"

【That's right, it's exactly what you think, don't make a fuss about it.And I'm sure you have a lot of experience as my neighbor. 】

"Great, if it's uncle and aunt, they're very easy to get along with, and it's not annoying at all." Xingyin touched the lunch box stuffed into Saiki's hand with a smile, "Kusuo, share it with uncle and aunt. .”

... [Am I a child, you want to tell me like this. 】

Qi Mu stretched out his hand to push the door open, then glanced back at Xingyin who was standing at the door and looking at him with pursed lips.

When she met her gaze, she foolishly waved goodbye to herself.

... Qi Mu pushed the door open a bit, do you want to come to my house?

[I'm just being polite, after all, we are neighbors, aren't we? 】

[Even if I am, I don’t want to bear attribute words like withdrawn and rude.Although she is too stupid, she probably won't think in the direction of normal people. 】

"Is it possible?!" Xingyin's eyes sparkled, and she followed up happily, with a small tail attached to Qi Mu's back, "The kindness of the neighbor is really a big help, Kusuo——"

[This is the first time I have heard someone put the adjective "kind" on my head. 】

Qi Mu glanced at the house next to him, and of course found that there was no one there.

[There is no other way, I remember her parents have been very busy. 】

Qi Mu led Xingyin into the house.

"Xiao Nan, welcome home. How is the new school? Are you okay? How are you getting along with your classmates?"

Saiki's mother, Saiki Kurumi, heard the sound of the door closing, and immediately grabbed the green onions she was cleaning, and ran out wearing an apron.

"Eh?... Girl, girl?!"

[Mom... What kind of bloody romance drama did you imagine in just three seconds? Is it a new superpower? 】

"Auntie, long time no see. I'm Xingyin, do you remember me?" Xingyin stuck her head out from behind Qi Mu and greeted with a smile.

"Huh? Xiao Xingyin?! Long time no see!" Kurumi ran into the kitchen in a panic to put down the scallions in her hand, not forgetting to tell Qi Mu, "Xiao Nan, quickly bring Xiao Xingyin in and sit down."

……Oh.

"Please use."

Kurumi gently placed the steaming teacup on the table in front of Xingyin, smiled and nodded to Xingyin who thanked Xingyin, and sat down next to Saiki opposite Xingyin.

Xingyin asked, "Is uncle off work yet?"

"Well, I'll be back in about a while." Kurumi said, "But it really surprised me. Xiao Xingyin is actually our new neighbor, and our two families are so destined."

Holding the teacup, Xingyin nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, I was so scared when I saw Kusuo at the door."

[You usually look quite stupid. 】

"That's great. I was worried that it might be difficult to make good friends with Xiaonan's personality after moving. It's really helpful to have a peer like Xiao Xingyin." Kurumi seemed really relieved look.

【Mom, it doesn't matter if I don't need friends. 】

"Hey, by the way, which school is Xiao Xingyin in? Are you not with Xiao Nan? The school uniform on your body...?"

Xingyin shifted her gaze to Qi Mu, who had been quietly drinking tea in the background holding a teacup like a retired veteran cadre: "Which school is Kusuo in?"

pk academy.

"I think so." Xingyin slumped her shoulders and said disappointedly, "I'm not in the same school as me. I'm in Bingsheng High School, which is a little farther away. PK Academy is the closest to here... I was also Those who want to study there..."

She lay down on the table and sighed: "But the school uniform of PK Academy is really ugly..."

[This is why you would rather go to Bingsheng, which takes several times more time? 】

[Sorry, I really don't understand. 】

Kurumi looked concerned: "Yes, I was also shocked when I saw Xiao Nan wearing a school uniform, but fortunately Xiao Nan is not so particular about boys. If it is my daughter, I definitely don't want to let Xiao Nan wear a school uniform. She went to PK Academy."

Xingyin nodded frantically, and suddenly felt something was wrong when she was nodding, her gaze turned away, and it happened to meet the faint gaze of Qi Mu who was holding a teacup.

"Ugh! But Kusuo looks pretty good in clothes!"

The little witty ghost Xingyin immediately gave Qimu a thumbs up, and praised his attire with his eyes.

[After all, he is a cute little brother, he looks good in anything he wears! 】

... [I said it was not my brother. 】

"...That's right! When Xiao Nan put it on, I was taken aback by Xiao Nan's handsomeness!"

Kurumi also reacted quickly, turned her head to look at Saiki and said sincerely.

[After all, it is the crystallization of love between me and the handsome child's father, with perfect appearance. 】

... [No, mom, your reason is full of frustration. 】

[Can you ignore me and continue discussing school uniforms?Why did you suddenly bring the topic up to me? ! 】
