"People on the street naturally help each other. Xiao Qingye is overthinking it. Everyone would be happy to help Xiao Qingye with this kind of thing."
"By the way, about what happened last night, Xiao Qingye, are you alright?"
Aunt Meiqi looked Qingye up and down, seemingly worried that he might get hurt.
"It's okay, I didn't go out last night."
Aoba smiled and told a small, white lie.
He didn't want Aunt Meiqi to worry about him.
"That's good, otherwise that guy Guhe might have come to my door directly."
Meiqi's eyes squint when she smiles.
Although she wore light makeup, the wrinkles around her eyes were still visible.
The same goes for the corners of your mouth.
"You're the most handsome guy in Aonosuke Street."
"Everyone really likes the little green leaf!"
Her soft, chuckling words made Aoba a little embarrassed.
But what followed was a feeling of being moved.
He must have made many friends in his past life.
From a wealthy young man to a talented and promising young man...
But those people...
It almost never gives Aoba this feeling.
People in the world have different statuses, but the value of their souls is often not equal.
I have lived two lives.
Aoba, on the contrary, felt the most moved by ordinary people of humble status.
This is a bit funny.
"correct!"
"I've made some porridge, would Aunt Meiqi like some?"
Aoba took a soft breath.
After suppressing his emotions, he finally asked the question.
"Huh?!"
"Did Xiao Qingye cook porridge today? Thank you so much, Xiao Qingye, but..."
"Auntie doesn't have time today, I'm sorry, Xiao Qingye."
Meiqi said with an apologetic smile.
A hint of happiness emanated from her narrowed eyes.
Aoba was a little curious.
"Aunt Meiqi, is there anything else going on?"
"Yes, Auntie is going to see her relatives."
At this age of forty, what she craves is no longer the love she had in her youth.
The happiness that Meiqi felt when she said those words made Aoba feel happy too.
After wandering around Tokyo, a city devoid of human warmth, for most of her life, Miki has finally found her place.
It's like a dandelion that has been flying in the air for a very long time finally landing.
"Relatives?"
"Who is this person to Sister Meiqi? What kind of person could they be?"
"Ah... Come to think of it, she's my older sister's family from the countryside of Itomori. They're all very nice people. Oh, and by the way, her two daughters are both very beautiful!"
"Oh—Aunt Meiqi, you don't need to introduce me anymore."
"I think Xiao Qingye and the others are a good match."
Chapter 57 Black Cat and Miko?! A girl who can see vengeful spirits!
Back at the shop, Aoba tidied up the interior and then prepared to leave.
He has just visited every shop on the street.
What he had to do today was to check if any of the neighboring houses were available for rent.
And before that.
He needs to go buy some groceries first.
After pulling down the shop door, I headed towards the backyard.
Doodle
Before Shang Liuyi had even reached the backyard, his phone rang.
Aoba took it out and saw that it was Kasumigaoka.
Aoba was a little surprised.
Is there anything going on so early in the morning?
He answered the phone.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Aoba asked first, puzzled.
"Aoba-kun, were you alright last night?"
It turns out the girl was concerned about what happened yesterday.
Aoba felt a little touched.
"fine."
"So that means the people from Kaijiu haven't contacted you, is that right?"
The girl's words carried a hint of relief.
But this moment of relief lasted only a few seconds before Aoba's words were cut short.
"No, they contacted me."
Aoba walked towards the backyard while making a phone call.
He pushed open the door and had already walked into the backyard.
"Huh?! Didn't you listen to me and hide?!"
Kasumigaoka was very excited on the phone.
His words carried a hint of anger and tension.
"I didn't go out on my own initiative. Kaijiu found me, and then I went out."
Qingye gripped the bicycle handlebars with one hand and slowly pushed it outside.
"And then what?!"
"Then the situation became more complicated, but in the end all those delinquent teenagers were taken away by the police."
Yesterday's conflict with Kaijiu took several turns.
It's exhausting to talk on the phone.
He only summarized the simple and easy-to-understand points.
"Is that so...?"
The girl remained skeptical of Aoba's words.
"Would I lie to you, dear Kasumigaoka-kun?"
Aoba called out affectionately into the phone, "Nichi-Nichi!"
next second.
On the other end of the phone came a girl's sweet, shy voice and the busy tone of a dead end.
This child... is far too agitated.
Aoba shook his head and said a simple goodbye to Kasumigaoka in the phone chat interface. Then he put his phone away and pushed his bicycle up the steps.
He now has to hurry to the supermarket.
The food in the morning is the freshest, but it is also easy to be sold out.
We need to get there quickly.
Kasumigaoka's face was still slightly flushed after hanging up the phone.
Ever since my date with the store manager yesterday.
Aoba-kun seems to have changed a bit, and his words are often misunderstood.
What, my dear Kasumigaoka-san!
Wouldn't saying this cause misunderstandings?!
However, Kasumigaoka is still curious about what happened to Aoba last night.
After all, Aoba-kun would never lie to her.
What exactly happened in between?
Have the garrison arrest all those scoundrels?
However, the only thing that can be confirmed is...
