"Speaking of which, did Jiao Dong go home directly after sending me off?"

After getting off the tram and walking to home for a few minutes, Zhixi deliberately slowed down her pace. She really liked the feeling of talking with her friends on the way home from school, but it seemed different from those.

"Ah."

"Hey, I just remembered that Jiao Dong's house is a bit far from where I live." She stopped and looked at him disapprovingly: "Isn't this very troublesome? ... A lot of time is wasted on the road every day. "

Hong glanced at her indifferently, "It's not troublesome, it's not very far away."

How can it be troublesome.

he added inwardly.

Nothing about you is a problem.

"Huh? That's good. ——Ah, yes, actually, I have something else, I've always wanted to ask Jiao Dong."

When he said this, Zhi Xi stopped being entangled and continued walking towards home. Her tone was light when she spoke, but her steps were very slow, "During the sports festival...how did Jiao Dong recognize me?"

"I wondered for a while because of this incident. I thought maybe it was because I accidentally called your name? Or was it because Jiao Dong felt familiar during the fight with me? ... But I always feel that drawing conclusions based on these alone is not something you would do."

Noticing that the young man behind him stopped, Zhi Xi looked back with some puzzlement, he was still standing there with her schoolbag on his back, looking at her quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

"There are the reasons you mentioned."

After a few seconds, he said,

"But more, not because of these."

"I can recognize it only because you are you."

"Whether it's Hongjiao Dongzi or I don't know Zhixi, if it's you, I can recognize it no matter what it turns into."

Intense and fiery clouds burned the sky, and the evening wind blew slowly with the fragrance of grass leaves, making the boy's cheeks slightly hot.But even so, he still met her gaze without evasion, three parts blushed and three parts stubborn, and the remaining four parts were sincere and frank - Zhi Xi opened his mouth, but finally smiled.

"Thank you then," she said.

She was surprised to get such an answer. It sounded like empty talk without any basis, but he said it so firmly.

Walking alone in this world, although Zhi Xi seldom thinks about it, occasionally, she also feels like being born like duckweed.She always thinks that everything she has now is illusory, as if everything is pre-set, and she is just the chosen executor—but the boy said, no matter what you become, I can recognize.

Even if it was a lie, it made her feel a little more at ease.

After saying goodbye to Hong Jiaodong, Zhixi entered the apartment building alone.The notice pasted on the elevator door a few days ago has not been torn off until today, and the corridor lights on so many floors upstairs have not been repaired.

She really wanted to complain about the property management department of this building—if such a department existed.Even though it was a newly built apartment building, it looked clean and beautiful from the outside, but there were always minor problems inside.The corridor lights on the floor where she lives and several floors above have been broken for a while, and no one has repaired them, and the elevator has a little trouble from time to time. If it wasn't because she didn't plan to stay for a long time, Zhixi would definitely use the money on the account The money is going to buy another house... although it is still not affordable.

Fortunately, it is still early at this moment, although the corridor is dark, it does not affect walking, but she lives in the innermost part of this floor, there is no light-transmitting glass window around, and the key is always misaligned when opening the door, Zhi Xi I had no choice but to fumble for the door lock and get in, while preparing to take out my phone from my pocket to light it.

As soon as she inserted the door lock, she smelled a familiar and strange smell.

"Do you need help?"

Immediately afterwards, a voice sounded softly behind her ear.

Zhi Xi paused while holding the key, "...you still work part-time to open the lock?"

She blinked her eyes twice quickly, forcing herself to adapt to the light as soon as possible, then turned around slowly, with a natural smile on her face: "You follow the beautiful girl every day, don't you go to work?"

The man stood behind her with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall, and raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You really can kill me with a casual comment, didn't you just say that my job is to open locks? "

He lifted his chin towards the door, "Aren't you going to invite me in for a while?"

Zhi Xi pretended to be stupid: "No, I think I'm a girl who lives alone, it's not very good to invite the opposite sex to my house, please understand."

"No wonder that boy just sent you downstairs and didn't come up. It turns out that the little girl is a person who cares about details."

Zhixi: No, I still invited him, but he was rejected.

Zhi Xi pretended not to realize that he had been spying on her upstairs, and changed the topic with a smile: "Have you been waiting for me for a long time? What do you want from me?"

I haven't seen her for a few days, and her ability to conceal her emotions has improved a lot. When she speaks, her eyes no longer flicker like they did when she was in front of him, and her body movements are well controlled-but still a little tender.

Even though she was so wary of him, she still wanted to talk to him in such a relaxed and natural manner, the little girl was quite courageous.

The man moved and adjusted his standing posture, but then, he bent down and slowly approached the girl, "I'll come and ask you to agree on the reward for that day."

He broke through the warning line again, and the sudden close made Zhixi hold her breath uncontrollably, and she adjusted a little after two seconds, she insisted not to let herself dodge back, but kept the same pace as before. He smiled and said, "Which house did you fancy? The sales department should not be closed yet, right?"

"...You are really obsessed with this point. If I say I want to see the house now, will you go?"

"Go before closing the door. As long as it's not too central a commercial area or a general residential area, I can still pay the down payment in one lump sum—do you want to leave?"

Zhi Xi recalled the numbers in the account, and had to say that the system was really generous to her financially.

As for how to repay the mortgage after paying the down payment...that's none of her business.

The man couldn't help laughing lightly after hearing this rich and powerful speech, his hoarse and magnetic voice was a little bit higher than when he spoke before, and Zhixi, who was a bit vocal, was inexplicably warmed by his laughter, "You, you laugh What? Is it so happy to have a house?"

"I don't need a house, but it's funny to see you say it so seriously." He slowly stopped laughing, "—I just need you, and give me a little time in the summer vacation."

When he said the last sentence, his voice suddenly sank, and it was a little more unclear.

Zhixi has an intuition that is almost supernatural in this regard, and her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, "...Maybe not, I heard from my classmates that our school has shared accommodation during the summer vacation."

Ever since she saw this man for the second time, she had made a judgment in her heart - he was definitely not a kind person.Although he has never really done anything that would hurt him during this period of time, Zhixi's defense and suspicion towards him have never really dispelled for a moment.

He obviously didn't want to have anything to do with him, but for some reason, the two of them gradually became close to "friends" in meeting again and again, and now that he appeared at his door, it could only show that they were friends. I don't know how long I have been following her in the dark... Zhixi suddenly felt that it was a very correct decision for the teachers to ask her to live in school.

The girl's face was calm and there was no wave, only her eyes rolled slightly.The man had a panoramic view of her reaction, knowing that she did about the same thing today, and any more would be counterproductive, so he didn't point it out, "I know."

As he spoke, he stood up straight, turned around and walked out, "But I also said that today I'm here for 'agreed remuneration'... So, I'm not discussing with you, little girl."

But don't worry too much,

The man reached out to put the hood on, and pressed the down button of the elevator.

——Because there will be another person who will accompany you.

Because she was very concerned about the "remuneration" that the man said, Zhi Xi tossed and turned on the bed for a long time that night before she felt a little sleepy.

He said nicely that he wanted her to "allocate a little" of the summer vacation to him, but he didn't explain at all how it would be divided and how long "a little" would be.

She didn't even know his name.

Zhixi was a little worried about whether she would really be "kidnapped" during the summer vacation... He said that he knew she was sleeping together at that time, did it mean that he would show up during the sleeping time?

This is too bold... You must know that this is Xiongying's student dormitory, and all the teachers will be there.

——But, even though he knew that he was not a good person, Zhi Xi never thought that he would be harmful to him. One is the lack of motivation, and the other is that he obviously has so many opportunities. If he really wants to do something, he should have done it long ago up.

Such self-affirmation and denial, she turned over and over again on the bed, and fell asleep until the sky became white, and then went to school with two dark circles under her eyes.

Naturally, she fell asleep on the table between classes. Seeing the girl like this, Kento Tetsutsu and others sitting around her would not bother her, and spoke softly.Quan Teng gestured to Mu Jian while whispering: "What happened to Zhi Xi last night?"

Things shake their heads.He saw that Zhixi was sleeping soundly on her stomach, with a strand of hair sticking up on her head, so he stretched out his hand to tease it a few times, having a great time.

Until the other hand slapped his hand away with a "snap", "Don't let me touch him."

This familiar voice, this dangerous tone... Zhixi, who was sleeping, sat up startled, "Baohaojun, you are not allowed to fight!"

Kento, who was about to speak out, was stunned: he is really skilled in business...

"——Huh?! I didn't do it!" I didn't expect the girl's first words when she woke up to accuse him. Bakugo Katsuki was very unconvinced: "What do you mean by egg rolls?!"

Wu Jian touched the back of his hand that was patted: "Zhi Xi, he just made a move."

"...Are you children?" Zhi Xi held her forehead, she was a little dizzy after getting up too quickly, "Is there anything wrong with Bao Haojun?"

"Why did you go there last night? You looked like you saw a ghost," Bakugo frowned and looked at the black eyes of the girl, and thought of something in an instant: "—that yin and yang face is haunting you again?!"

The reason why he ran to Class B, where all passers-by were in the egg roll accident, was because he heard the conversation between Chijiu and Yin Yang not long ago, and he grabbed that guy's collar and threatened him several times before leaving him. The ins and outs of what happened in his mouth immediately turned into a ignited firecracker.

——It turned out that what was hidden from him before was such a big disappearance! ...Forget it, but he sent that yin and yang face home yesterday!

Where has he been!

...Although he has no position.

Seeing his expression, Zhi Xi probably guessed the reason why he came to find her, and immediately felt even more headache, "You know about that..."

"Huh? If I don't ask you all the time, are you planning to keep it from me!"

"We have a good understanding, so don't talk too much." Zhi Xi used the treasure to prevaricate Bakugo Katsuki.

"..." Baohao almost lost his breath, "—I changed it today!"

"No, Lugu-san agreed with me, today is him." Zhixi was inexplicably funny, "And what's so arguable about this kind of thing? Will Mr. Aizawa reward you with big red flowers?"

Her casual sentence stopped Baohao from asking again.

The young man paused, and the bulk of the refutation she was about to say was blocked by her last two questions. He faltered for a long time, and finally slapped the table with a loud voice: "...don't care! Then I tomorrow!"

Then without giving the other party any chance to refuse, he turned his head and walked out of the classroom.

Moujian approached Zhixi: "What were you talking about just now?"

Zhi Xi: "Do you want the day after tomorrow?"

Monoma: "Huh? Yes—but what are you referring to?"

The girl finally couldn't bear it any longer, she knocked her head on the table and let out a long sigh.
