At the Hiiragi family's doorstep.
Ding-dong.
As the doorbell rang, Wu Tina stood at the door and called out, "Mom, I'm home!"
Lady Hiiragi's voice soon came from inside the room.
"You silly child, it's almost dark, where have you been running around running wild again?"
Mrs. Hiiragi opened the door while grumbling, "Dinner's almost cold, hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Lorraine returning with Wu Tina.
He was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Wu Tina stood with her hands on her hips, looking quite proud, as if she had done something extraordinary and returned in triumph.
"This is……"
Lady Hiiragi looked at the two of them with a mixture of doubt and surprise.
Lorraine spoke up first.
"There's a reason for this, Mrs. Hiiragi. Perhaps... I'll be staying at your house for a while longer."
"Does Brother Lin mean... that you want to move into our house?"
"Mrs. Hiiragi, please don't misunderstand. It's just a temporary stay. If it's inconvenient, I won't insist."
"Oh no no no... Convenient! Convenient! It's a hundred times more convenient!"
Heaven knows how excited Lady Hiiragi was at that moment.
She suppressed the urge to scream and hug them, and beckoned them inside. "Let's come in first. The dinner portion is definitely not enough. Brother Lin can go eat with Wu Tina first. I'll go and make some more food!"
"No need for that. I'll just eat something simple."
"How can that be! Men always have big appetites, Brother Lin, don't worry. Now that you're back at our house, please don't be shy about the food and drinks. Although we're not exactly rich, we can still afford to support a man. Alright, come in quickly."
That's what they said.
Lady Hiiragi stepped forward, took Lorraine's arm, and led her into the house.
Only Wu Tina was left standing there, completely ignored by her mother, like she was invisible.
"???"
What's going on?
Is it even possible to stay in this house anymore? They're so enthusiastic towards Brother Lin, but they completely ignore their own daughter, right?
At least show her some concern!
Wu Tina is truly impressed.
However, just as she was complaining and about to step inside, her mother, after taking Lin's arm in arm with him into the house, instinctively slammed the door shut.
With a loud bang!
"Ouch."
As a result, Wu Tina was caught off guard and bumped her head directly into the door, wincing in pain.
It wasn't until she heard her daughter's cry of pain that Mrs. Hiiragi remembered there was another person outside the door. She opened the door for them and then ignored them, continuing to lead Lorraine into the living room to entertain them with dinner.
——
After dinner.
It was already quite late.
Lady Hiiragi led Lorraine to the corridor and informed him, "The bathwater has been prepared for you, Brother Lin. Please go in and take a bath first."
"That's troublesome."
"No need to be so polite, haha."
When Lorraine entered the changing room in front of the bathroom, he realized that the other person had followed him in.
Lorraine looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.
"Lady Hiiragi, what are you still doing here?"
"Oh, right, the clothes I'm preparing for a change of clothes are the same as always. Please put them in this bamboo basket, and I'll take them all to be washed later."
"Actually, I can do this myself..."
“Brother Lin, how could such a small thing be done by a man? Laundry and cooking have always been areas dominated by women, haven’t they?”
"Mrs. Hiiragi has misunderstood. She just didn't want to trouble you too much."
"Oh dear, I already said it's not troublesome at all, so... Brother Lin, please leave these little things to this old auntie as always."
"this……"
"You can't secretly take it to be washed without my permission."
Lady Hiiragi's suddenly approaching smiling face exuded an eerie and dangerous aura.
A chill ran down Lorraine's spine.
He racked his brains but couldn't understand why the other party was so insistent on taking responsibility for washing his clothes. Generally speaking, shouldn't men avoid washing their clothes after they've been changed?
Such filthy items, after being worn all day or several days, are bound to have a strong odor.
Lorraine simply didn't want to trouble others, which is why she insisted on handling her own clothes.
Who knew I would receive such a warning?
——
"Alright, I understand. Then it will be the same as before. I'll leave it to Mrs. Hiiragi."
"Haha, Brother Lin, you're too kind."
"that……"
"Um?"
Why hasn't Lady Hiiragi gone out yet?
"Um... you haven't changed your clothes yet, right? Your change clothes are here in the closet."
"I know."
The two locked eyes, and the confined space made the atmosphere very strange.
Seeing that the other person's gaze was evasive, Lorraine blushed and looked somewhat shy.
He asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Mrs. Hiiragi, you don't mean you want me to change my clothes in front of you, do you?"
"I don't think men would care."
"That's backwards. Shouldn't this be something women care about?"
"Oh, I don't mind, haha, Brother Lin, you can change it."
"No, you..."
"If Brother Lin wants someone to help him scrub his back, I might be able to help too..."
