"Thank you for your patronage."
Following the clerk's greeting, the two walked out the door, holding the croquettes in their hands, and looking at Sayu who was smiling beside them as if nothing had happened, Anraooka Hanabi was confused.
This person...what's going on?
Although Sayu had only been here a short time ago, Anraooka Hanabi still had some understanding of her. She was a very cheerful, gentle girl with excellent academic performance. She also had a very good reputation in the class. To be honest, in her opinion, Anraooka Hanabi was simply a model good student and a good girl.
However... it was this person who beat up three terrible thugs mercilessly in front of him, and even took their money quite naturally... So now, the croquette in his hand was bought with this money.
What happened to this person...
Anraooka Hanabi looked at Sayu speechlessly, trying to see what she was thinking, but Sayu's behavior was quite normal. In fact, just looking at her expression, one couldn't tell that she had beaten someone so mercilessly before.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Noticing Anraokaoka Hanabi's gaze, Sayu blinked curiously and looked at her.
"Um... is it okay to do this?"
"What are you talking about?"
Seeing Sayu's confused expression, as if she really didn't understand what she meant, Anraokaoka Hanabi spoke uneasily.
"It wasn't nice to treat those guys like that... and we were still in uniform, so they might retaliate against us..."
"What? Don't worry about this little thing. If they dare to come again, I will deal with them again."
Sayu smiled and waved her hand.
"Don't worry, An Legang-san. Those people always bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as you teach them a lesson a few times, they will behave themselves."
"is that so?"
"That's it."
As they were talking, the two crossed the street and came to a commercial building.
"Are you here to buy something?"
"Huh? No, I live here."
"Why?!"
Hearing Sayu's answer, Anraoka Hanabi was shocked again. She looked around hurriedly. No matter how she looked, it was just an ordinary commercial building. But Sayu just walked to the elevator, and then Anraoka Hanabi saw Sayu take out an ID card from her bag and swipe it lightly on the card slot in front of her.
“Beep.”
Then, the elevator door opened, and Sayu walked into the elevator with Anraoka Hanabi, reached out and pressed the top button, and then the elevator began to rise slowly. Anraoka Hanabi was completely stunned by the scene in front of her. She looked at Sayu in surprise and asked tremblingly.
"Are you some kind of young lady, Ogiwara-san?"
"Ah, no, no..."
Sayu smiled and waved her hand.
"This is Mr. Fang Zheng's property. I just live here with him. I'm not some big shot."
"Mr. Fang Zheng???"
Hearing this name, Anraoka Hanabi was stunned. She initially thought that Sayu lived here with her family, but this name... didn't sound like it had anything to do with Sayu, and when Sayu addressed him, the name she used didn't sound like the one she would use to address her family.
"What is your relationship?"
"Well... he's my guardian now, almost like a father and brother to me."
"???"
Although she got the answer, Anraoka Hanabi became more and more confused. He is a guardian, similar to a father and an older brother, but that does not mean he is not one?
What is their relationship?
“Ding Dong…”
At this moment, accompanied by a pleasant sound, the elevator door slowly opened, and then a luxurious hall appeared in front of Anlegang Hanabi.
“Wow…”
When Sayu and Haruka went to the Millennium Tower, they also sighed at the luxurious decoration on the top floor, and it was the same now. Although this place is not as luxurious as the store in the Millennium Tower, it is quite elegant and simple. The two-story top floor brings a wide view like a palace, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in front of you, you can see the city scenery outside. Coupled with the beautiful and comfortable furniture and sofas, and the TV hanging on the wall, it gives people a strange feeling - as if this place is not like an ordinary home, but more like a luxury suite in a star hotel.
"Here you can sing karaoke and dance, and you don't have to worry about disturbing others. Oh, or do you want to go to my room? It's much smaller than here though."
"You better go to your room."
To be honest, this place was too empty, which made Anlegang Hanabi feel a little uncomfortable. After all, this place didn't look like a place for two people. It would be fine if there were a large group of people here, but two people staying in such an empty place made her feel a little uneasy.
After that, Sayu brought Anraooka Hanabi to her bedroom. Although it was much bigger than an ordinary person's bedroom, it was still within an acceptable range. At least... she didn't have to be as scared as she was outside.
"Please."
Taking out some juice from the refrigerator and placing it in front of Anraooka Hanabi, Sayu sat down opposite her with a smile, while Anraooka Hanabi looked at Sayu and asked in confusion.
"Who are you... Ogiwara-san?"
"Huh? I'm just an ordinary high school girl."
"I don't think an average high school girl would beat up a thug in the street and rob him of his money, and live in a place like this..."
"I didn't rob the money, I just picked it up."
"… picking up money?"
"Yes, it's only natural that you would pick up a wallet that has fallen on the ground."
"No, no, no, you took it out of their pockets."
Hearing this, Anraokaoka Hanabi couldn't help but complain. It was clear from her perspective that Sayu had taken the wallet out of the opponent's pocket after knocking him down, so why did she say that he was picking up money? What made her even more speechless was that when she heard what she said, Sayu tilted her head in confusion.
"is that so??"
“…”
There shouldn't be anything wrong with this person's common sense.
But then, Sayu put the matter behind her and started chatting with Anraoka Hanabi like ordinary girls, mainly talking about interesting things in school, their favorite celebrity idols, TV shows and other topics.
Before she knew it, Hanabi Anraoka also confided her troubles to Sayu.
"By the way, a classmate came to me a few days ago to discuss love matters."
"Anything about love?"
"Yes, she dated her childhood sweetheart, but after entering high school, they went to different high schools. As a result, she found out that her childhood sweetheart was dating another girl behind her back..."
"Why……"
"Then that girl was confessed to by her senior from school, and the two began dating..."
“Hey… huh???”
Hearing this, Sayu was stunned for a moment.
"Wait, so that girl's boyfriend cheated on her, and then she cheated on him too?"
"That's right. She came to me and asked me about it. She said that she didn't want to give up both her childhood sweetheart and her senior, and asked me which one she should choose... How could I know such a thing..."
At this point, Hanabi Anraoka lay on the table with her head in her hands in silence. She was serious and honest by nature. To be honest, she had always loved her childhood sweetheart since she was born. Although Hanabi Anraoka was very beautiful, many boys confessed to her, but she had never been moved by those confessions. In her opinion, love should be faithful to one person, so she was really distressed by this wavering inquiry.
"There is such a thing..."
Hearing this, Sayu couldn't help but sigh, but just when she wanted to say something, suddenly, there was a ding-dong sound outside. Hearing this sound, Sayu hurriedly stood up.
"Ah, it must be Mr. Fang Zheng who is back!"
As Sayu said this, she left the room, and out of curiosity, Anraoka Hanabi followed her out of the room, came to the corridor on the second floor, and looked down along the railing. She saw a young man with black hair and black eyes, wearing a black windbreaker, walking out of the elevator.
"Ah, Mr. Fang Zheng, welcome back."
Looking at the man in front of her, Sayu greeted him energetically, and the man raised his head, looked at her and nodded.
"I'm back... Who is this?"
"This is my friend, Anlegang Hanabi, she's in the same class with me."
"Ah, I'm Hanabi Anraoka, thank you for your guidance."
At this time, Anlegang Hanabi was also stunned when she looked at Fang Zheng, then she quickly came to her senses and bowed to him.
"Hello, my name is Fang Zheng. It's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance."
In response to Anraokaoka Hanabi's greeting, Fang Zheng nodded, returned the greeting, and then looked at Sayu.
"So, what about dinner?"
"I'll get ready now."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Sayu also walked down the stairs and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Although Anlegang Hanabi didn't need to prepare as a guest, she was embarrassed to be alone with Fang Zheng, so she also made an excuse to go to the open kitchen next door and started preparing dinner with Sayu.
Compared to this luxurious place, the dinner for the group was relatively simple, just ordinary chicken curry. Of course, Sayu's cooking skills were very good. Anloka Hanabi originally planned to leave, but Sayu kept her and said that after dinner, Fang Zheng could take her home. In the end, Anloka Hanabi couldn't resist Sayu and nodded and agreed.
At the dinner table, Sayu suddenly remembered something and looked towards Fang Zheng.
"Oh, by the way, An Legang, why don't you tell Mr. Fang Zheng about your troubles? He will definitely be able to help you solve them."
"Why?"
"What's the problem?"
Fang Zheng was eating curry while looking at the two of them, and then Sayu repeated to Fang Zheng what Anraoka Hanabi had said before about her friend.
"So, Mr. Fang Zheng, what are you going to choose?"
“Hahahahahaha.”
However, to their surprise, after hearing Sayu's question, Fang Zheng burst into laughter.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, what are you laughing at? Mr. An Legang is really troubled by this."
"Sorry, sorry. Actually, I want to say that there is no need to worry about it, because she is not here to discuss anything with you. She is just here to show off to you."
"……Why???"
Sayu and Anraoka Hanabi were both stunned when they heard Fang Zheng's answer.
"show off?"
"Yes, it's the same for boys. Sometimes they will tell their friends how unlucky they are. Today this girl confesses to them, and tomorrow that girl asks them out, and it's hard to refuse... This kind of thing is basically just showing off how popular they are under the banner of talking about their troubles."
"Yes, is that so?"
"That's right. Otherwise, there's no point for her to confide in you. After all, she's the one in love, not you. Although it's said that love makes people blind, in the end, only the person himself can understand the taste of love. No matter how much others say, it won't help, right?"
"is that so……"
Hearing this, Anraoka Hanabi almost fell on the table. She was originally worried about this, but she didn't expect that the other party was just trying to show off?
Then why is she worrying about all this?
After that, Anlegang Hanabi, who had put aside her worries, finished dinner with the two of them, and then Fang Zheng drove her back home.
Then he returned home.
"Sayu, you have a good relationship with her, right?"
"Well, I want to be good friends with her."
"Then you should pay attention."
Having said this, Fang Zheng lowered his voice.
"I noticed a faint stench of corpse about her."
"Why?!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Sayu's expression changed slightly.
"How is that possible? But she clearly ate the food happily."
"It's unlikely that she is a ghoul, but since she smells like a ghoul, it means she may have had contact with one. In short, you have to be careful."
"...Okay, I understand."
Sayu thought for a moment and nodded seriously.
"I'll take good care of her."
