In the past two days, the two of them were not in a hurry to pick a house, but stuck together all day like many newlyweds. Whether they were going shopping or staying in this small house, they were almost inseparable. This caused the plan to be pushed back and forth.

It wasn't until one day that he coaxed the little guy to take a nap that Riddle finally had some time to do things.Yes, he was going to solve all these trivial matters alone, after all, the more important part should also be put on the agenda.

Diagon Alley was a place where wizards in London would definitely visit, and the adjacent Knockturn Alley was even more familiar to him, so he knew what was there.

After finalizing an apartment nearby, Riddle came here alone, at No. 13B Knockturn Lane, Bojinbok, an antique shop that buys and sells strange and weird magic items.

The door was pushed open, and there was a burst of "jingle bells" in the quiet shop. Bojin, who was sitting behind the counter, put down his work and greeted him warmly, "Long time no see, Tom, you're here." What a coincidence, the thing you want was delivered to the store just yesterday, I have appraised it in advance, the finished product is finely crafted, and your request has been fulfilled, the thing is tempered inside, you have to be careful when using it."

While Bojin was talking endlessly, he pulled out a seemingly inconspicuous long wooden box hidden under the counter. Riddle just smiled and shook the weight of the box, and then opened a small slit. After seeing it clearly, he readily put down a bulging little bag.

"I can get the affirmation of Mr. Bojin. I believe in the quality of this item. This is the agreed number of Galleons. Please count, and... I think there will be many opportunities to cooperate with you in the future."

"Oh! Of course, maybe you can come to my store after you graduate. You know I always need some people here."

Although he said so, Bo Jin's eyes were completely attracted by the bag of gold gallons. He smiled and quickly silently nodded to confirm that it was correct before taking it down, "If you need any help, please come here. It would be better if you have a business introduction." .”

"Thank you for your kindness, then I will not bother you."

The long box had been put away by Riddle, he smiled and expressed his thanks, then immediately put on the hood and turned to leave here. He didn't choose the direction of Diagon Alley, but instead led to the more desolate and gloomy other side. side.

The narrow alley seems to be endless at a glance. Compared with the bustling and prosperous Diagon Alley next door, where every inch of land is expensive, it is a desolate and dilapidated place. It is in the dark area of ​​London's wizarding world, as if it has been forgotten by the world.

Turning around the alley, the vision outside the range of tens of feet in front of the alley is finally clear. Occasionally, wizards and wizards dressed in weird clothes will glance at him when they pass by. Guys who cover their faces during the day are not common even in Knockturn Alley. .

All the way to the end, he opened the door and entered a dirty and narrow bar on the left. He seemed to have been here many times, and went to sit in the corner farthest from the bar without even looking at it.

There was no one to receive him during the whole process, not even a single question. A charming woman standing behind the bar used magic to bring a cup of light-colored liquid over, and it landed firmly in front of him, but he didn't move, just silently sitting.

Until, the door was pushed open again in the quiet environment, and the man who came in was wearing a windbreaker, with an ordinary face that he would forget once he saw it, but he also looked like a regular customer of this bar, and went to the bar to say hello He quickly walked over to him and sat down opposite him, holding a glass of whiskey.

"It's going well?" The man shook the transparent cup, and then took a sip of the liquid inside. His eyes kept looking around the small bar, but his voice was deliberately lowered.

However, there was no response within a few seconds, which made the man's words sound like he was talking to himself, but he didn't seem to care at all, and he drank the remaining whiskey in the glass before speaking, "Ordinary magic is effective for 79A It won't work, my people will ambush in advance, and everything will be based on the signal of the plan."

It's just that after the man finished speaking, there was still no reply, but he didn't stay any longer. He put down his empty glass, got up and left before saying "I bought your order", and left the bar straight away.

Riddle, who was still sitting motionless, touched the glass of wine in front of him, his eyes covered by the hood fell on the light-colored liquid at the bottom, and a strong and choking smell rushed towards his face when he got closer.

He has no intention of drinking. There is a pregnant woman who needs to be taken care of at home, especially the little guy who clings to him. Naturally, he will not touch these useless things. Besides, there are still many things for him to do next. Whether he wants to or not.

Riddle hurried back, put down the things he bought, and the bedroom door was pushed open. The girl who seemed to have just woken up rubbed her eyes and brought the tranquil fragrance of peach blossoms, and found a place in his arms. Then he closed his eyes again, as if he couldn't wake up.

"Be obedient, go to bed and sleep." Riddle could only hug her and coax her softly, the warmth in his eyes was perfect and impeccable from any angle.

But she just shook her head, and then coquettishly, "No...I want Tom to hug..."

No way, Riddle had no choice but to hug her first, and then slowly helped her to sit down on the side of the sofa, and then let her change to a more comfortable position and continue to be in his arms, and then, the little figure As if he was really asleep, he didn't say a word.

Riddle, who was forced to act as a human-shaped pillow, had to maintain this posture first, as long as he moved a little bit, the girl in his arms would also move along, for fear of getting away from him.And this scene happened almost every day since she came back.

Maybe it was because they were all suppressed with magic power before, even though it was less than a month before the birth, some pregnant women's symptoms just rushed out at this time, and they rushed to confirm it on her body.

For example, the appetite has improved but it is also tricky, more lethargic, tired after sitting for a long time, emotionally unstable, sensitive enough to find a small thing for a while, and can be anxious to cry, accompanied by anxiety and confrontation. Produce more or less fear.

While these symptoms tormented her, it was naturally impossible to let him go. After using magic to send her back to the bed, he turned around and was caught by the hem of his clothes. He immediately had to postpone what he was going to do and lie down beside her to coax her Then sleep.

His energy is almost exhausted by this villain, just preparing her three meals a day and coping with the situation that she will be hungry at any time is already troublesome, not to mention coaxing her at least ten times a day, no matter how patient she is. Men get bored too.

So at dinner time this day, after feeding this little guy, he unhurriedly put a "forgotten" plan on the agenda, "I have found a new place to live, and we will move tomorrow." In the past, the environment of the lot was not bad, it was more spacious, and it was closer to St. Mungo’s and Diagon Alley, so it was convenient for Yao to go shopping.”

It's just that after she listened carefully, she expressed another kind of doubt, "But when did Tom find it? Why don't I know? We're not..."

"Are you together 24 hours a day?"

Riddle followed her words, but his eyes were filled with pampering and helplessness that could not be concealed, "Fool... In order to spend more time with my lovely Yao, I naturally took advantage of your limited time during your lunch break to deal with these things."

Only then did she suddenly realize, but a sense of guilt also welled up, "Maybe I fell asleep so deeply that I didn't realize that Tom wasn't around...I'm sorry...Tom...I've been occupying your time since I came back , your center of gravity has also shifted to me...you can deal with whatever you have to do, you don't have to accommodate me...anyway, I won't leave again, we still have a lot of time together."

But he still had that gentle and gentle look. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek before asking, "But I've been absent for the most important half a year. Do you still want to deprive me of the last month, my dear?"

This made her immediately retort, "No! I also want to be with Tom all the time, but I'm afraid it will really delay you to do other things... Then you have to tell me, since Hogwarts has a summer vacation What have you been doing since then?"

Regarding her doubts, he just raised his eyebrows, "..In addition to completing the assigned homework, for a student like me who has no parents and can only rely on scholarships, the best choice is to use the vacation to do some work, such as making Some potions, these are relatively simple."

Then she quickly recalled her own expenses for the past few days in a few seconds, and she felt even more uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and asked hesitantly, "... Tom... Is it hard to raise me?"

Faced with her cautiousness, I don't know if he did it on purpose, but he nodded generously directly, and then began to count them one by one.

"It's been hard work, not getting a good night's sleep, being a competent listener and always being ready to soothe my sensitive wife, getting a bunch of supplies for this baby, moving house, keeping in touch with the therapist... .And a lot of little things, my dear . . . it's hard being a father."

"...It's my fault...Tom, I still have some money here..." As she spoke, she used a spell, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, a small bag flew over, and she silently recited a formula and turned her hand With a single finger, the mouth of the bag opened by itself, and then a large handful of Galleons flew out, neatly arranged on the table.

Just by visual inspection, Riddle knew roughly how many there were, but before he could speak, she began to explain very consciously.

"..The money was given to me by Mr. Grindelwald for the cooperation between me and him, so I accepted it. Don't be angry, Tom, okay?"

However, he just glanced at those Galleons and didn't look at them again. His eyes were fixed on the girl in his arms, and the smile on his lips didn't loosen at all, "I'm not angry, my dear, On the contrary, I'm very happy, Yao is willing to take the initiative to tell me, it's a big improvement, right? As for these Galleons, you don't need to give them to me, Yao just keep them and be obedient."

"okay!"

She obediently nodded in response, then used spells to put the money back, and was about to put away the bag, but she paused, hesitated for a while, and stuffed the bag into his hand, "Tom, this is my Qiankun bag, you can It is very convenient to hold countless things, and it is not afraid of water and fire. In addition to these gold gallons, there are also picture books, my white shirt and Yueling hairpin are also there. I don’t need it now, so I put it here for you Keep it safe?"

As if he didn't expect her to do this, a touch of surprise flashed across his dark eyes, but it only passed away like a shooting star. He rubbed her little head, lowered his eyes to hide the unclear meaning, and said, " That's fine, my Yao only needs to deal with this upcoming child with peace of mind, and leave the rest to me."

As if she had lost a big burden, she looked very happy, and she leaned over and kissed his side cheek, "Mmm! I listen to Tom!"

If it weren't for her swollen belly, she would really be no different from a child, but he stared at her little face that seemed never to get tired of, and asked softly, "How about going for a walk later?"

Unexpectedly, she gave a crisp "Yes", as if no matter what kind of request he made, she would never refuse, even if the request was too outrageous...

After packing up and moving into the new residence, the first day was busy and organized. Of course, Riddle was the only one who was busy. Qingyao sat on the sofa quite leisurely and studied the wizard chess game in front of him, which he bought specially. A pair to pass the time.

There are also many interesting books, which are all put together in one place, as well as painting supplies. The balcony faces a Muggle flower market selling all kinds of flowers.

There are also some cafes and bakeries scattered among them. The sweetness of bread and the mellow aroma of coffee fill the street. You can also see a park with trees in the distance, which is quite suitable for sketching.

It can be said that it is very comfortable here, especially when she walks to the balcony and overlooks the warm sunlight, there is a rose beside her at some point, and she can see his smiling face when she looks slightly sideways. The sunlight enveloped her whole body.

"Tom, when are we going to Greater Hangleton?"

"..how about tomorrow afternoon?"

"Okay, then do you want to prepare some meeting gifts or something? After all, they are your relatives! Besides, it's not surprising that there are many gifts, let's go shopping later, shall we..."

"...it is good."

"Tomorrow will definitely be a good day."

He hugged her gently from behind, enjoying this rare beauty, the ring on his hand was shining brightly under the sunlight.

"Well, it's the same as today."
