After changing shoes.

Xi Shenlian looked at Qianshan Xuehui who suddenly turned around and looked for something in the room for some reason, and asked in confusion:

"…What are you doing again?"

Qian Shan Xue Hui, who was squatting not far away and writing and drawing, said without turning her head:

"Wait, it will be ready soon."

And so, a while passed.

Xi Shenlian saw the other party holding a sign with his name - [Qianshan Xuehui], and sticking it on the surface of a small sliding door on a shoe cabinet.

After doing this.

Only then did she begin to change her shoes contentedly and put her own slippers in.

"Hmm~ Is there a ventilation duct in each small shoe cabinet?"

After looking at the small exhaust fan rotating inside the shoe cabinet, I felt emotional.

After changing her shoes, she put her hands on her hips and said to Xi Shenlian:

"From now on, that small shoe cabinet and those slippers are my exclusive belongings. You must not touch them, and no one else should touch them. Do you understand?"

Xi Shenlian responded somewhat speechlessly:

"Yes, yes, yes."

Watching all this, Gu Yun Meiyako, who had already changed her shoes, looked at Ye Qili, who had also changed her shoes and remained silent, in a tacit understanding.

That moment.

They both saw the helplessness and emotion in each other's eyes.

…

Walking on the somewhat quiet street.

Feeling the coldness around her, Qianshan Xuehui stretched out her hand and boredly caught the snow slowly falling from the sky.

As I walked, I felt the ice and snow slowly melting on the surface of my palms.

Suddenly, she asked:

"Hey, Lian, where did you live before?"

"I mean after you left the orphanage."

Xi Shenlian said with a relaxed look:

"Inside an old apartment in Arakawa district."

"Life was not going well at the time, until I woke up, and then my life changed dramatically."

After nodding, Qianshan Xuehui asked again:

"If you were not doing well, why didn't you come to me at that time?"

"Don't tell me you can't find me."

This time.

Xi Shenlian did not answer directly, and there was a rare hint of confusion and hesitation on her face.

Turning her head to look at the expression on his face, Qianshan Xuehui exhaled and frowned, saying:

"…Forget it, just assume you were missing for those two years."

"Don't be silent like that again."

Although Xi Shenlian did not answer.

But she understood that it was a man's idea that he didn't want his acquaintances to know that he was not living a happy life, and it was part of his self-esteem.

She can understand.

But I don't like Xi Shenlian doing that.

Hearing the complaints and accusations in the other party's words, Xi Shenlian scratched his head with a slightly embarrassed look and could only respond:

"good."

And then.

Then I heard Qianshan Xuehui say:

"Let's go to your old place in a few days. I want to see what the place where you hid from me for two years looks like..."

There was a sense of expectation in his words.

Hearing this.

Xi Shenlian could only wave his hands and say:

"I can't see it. That place is gone."

"No more?"

Qianshan Xuehui's pace immediately slowed down: "What do you mean?"

After thinking about it.

Qianshan Xuehui looked at him with suspicion: "Did you tear down that place?"

Based on her understanding of Xi Shenlian, this guy is indeed capable of doing such a thing.

but.

Xi Shenlian continued to wave his hands and said:

"That's not the case. That place was just blown up by a meteorite."

"???"

These words directly hit Qianshan Xuehui's blind spot in knowledge.

This immediately caused several question marks to pop up in her mind.

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that the place was hit by a meteorite that fell from the sky and exploded on the spot."

While explaining, Xi Shenlian also made some gestures.

For example: the fingers of the left hand turn into a line that falls from the sky and hits the clenched fist of the right hand, and then the fist opens immediately...

Watching Xi Shenlian's right hand change from a fist to a palm, there was still a banging sound in his mouth.

After thinking about the actual situation in her mind, Qianshan Xuehui suddenly didn't know what to say.

Even Gu Yun Meiyako and Ye Qili, who were eavesdropping on the side, were speechless.

No one could understand why Xi Shenlian encountered such a thing.

After a while.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere felt a little silent.

Kokumo Miyako asked curiously:

"Isn't Mr. Xi Shen from a big family?"

“Why was life so bad before?”

Before Xi Shenlian could answer, Qian Shan Xue Hui spoke first:

“It’s not a big family.”

"This guy is an orphan. He was picked up by my grandfather from an orphanage in the wilderness. Even his name was given by my grandfather."

"It will only be the second half of this year that he will become an awakener."

"So, don't look at him like this now. He used to be just an ordinary passerby. Apart from his good looks, he had no special features at all."

Hear all this.

Miyako Guyun opened her mouth slightly, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face, and she kept looking at Xi Shenlian's appearance and temperament.

"real?"

"Xuehui, you didn't lie to me?"

Between words.

They were full of doubts and didn't believe at first glance that Xi Shenlian came from a poor family.

Even Ye Qili, who was silent at the side, had a look of disbelief on her face.

Looking at this scene.

Qian Shan Xue Hui was immediately speechless, and poked Xi Shen Lian with her finger, blaming her:

"It's all your fault that you look so good..."

"I'm telling the truth, but others just won't believe me..."

This made Xi Shenlian, the guy being blamed by her, completely unable to refute.

I had no choice.

He could only look up to the sky and sigh:

"I can't help it. My excellence always causes people to misunderstand many things."

Although he was telling the truth, Xi Shenlian still showed his characteristic of being someone who deserves a beating.

He said something that could be said normally in a tone that sounded like he was asking for a beating.

Qianshan Xuehui immediately retracted her fingers, glanced at him sideways, and said with disdain:

"...You really deserve a beating for what you said."

Miyako Kokumo certified on the spot:

"really."

Although Ye Qili didn't say anything, her face was full of approval.

…

Half an hour later.

While strolling leisurely, Miyako Kozue arrived home first.

It was a large, luxurious single-family villa in a great location.

She stood in front of her own door and bowed slightly with a smile:

"Then we'll see you next time, Mr. Xi Shen and Ms. Ye Qili. As for classmate Xue Hui, we'll see you tomorrow."

Every word and action is very elegant.

The feeling of a lady from a noble family cannot be concealed at all.

Relative.

Qianshan Xuehui and Ye Qili also responded in a very formal manner.

But it is different from the solemnity of the two.

Xi Shenlian just waved his hand calmly:

"goodbye."

To this.

The three of them didn't care.

Because they all knew that Xi Shenlian never bowed to anyone, not even a slight bow out of courtesy.
