"What, how could brother Gengyi be Xiao Ai's father?"

Yoshida Ayumi's questioning voice directly interrupted the thoughts of a certain class teacher who was drawing a portrait of Haihara Ai's mother.

Yes, the children have been calling this man brother... Xiaolin Chengzi's beady eyes suddenly came to his senses.

"Teacher Xiaolin, would you like to get in the car?"

Ye Gengyi's expression was calm, without any jokes or shy smiles after his lies were exposed.

"Ah? Oh..."

Xiaolin Chengzi also realized that her strapless and low-cut dress was really not convenient for her to bend over and talk to the people in the car. Suddenly she felt her cheeks were getting hot, so she quickly opened the car door and got into the passenger seat:

"No, sorry..."

"It doesn't matter, we'll set off when we're ready," Ye Gengyi said.

"Yeah." Xiaolin Chengzi nodded, and then... there was no movement.

A car of people stopped in place for about 5 or 6 seconds.

Ye Gengji looked sideways again:

"Teacher Xiaolin?"

Why do you feel so dull?

Is it because when I just introduced him, I borrowed the title of Haihara Ai’s father?

The reason why he would do this is actually very simple.

Because the other party is a teacher, if he directly appeared as Haibara Ai's brother, Kobayashi Chengzi would ask some questions about whether the two are siblings and their parents out of professional habits without having to think about it at all.

Therefore, Ye Gengyi deliberately created an impression that his personality was rather strange. Under such an intuitive feeling, when the other party wanted to talk about topics related to his parents and family, he would instinctively avoid them.

mood.

As a result, the plan was implemented smoothly, but I didn't expect that the class teacher was wearing bold clothes, but he was shy and introverted.

"Ah? What...what happened, Ye, Ye..."

Kobayashi Orange is stuck.

...Oops, what should I call it?

Usually when facing Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta and their parents and elders, they usually use their surnames and family status, such as Yoshida's father, Tsuburaya's mother, and Kojima's grandfather.

This person is Haiyuan Ai’s brother, so... is he called Brother Ye?

Uh...it feels weird.

Haiyuan Ai read out her class teacher's embarrassment and helped out:

"Teacher Xiao Lin, Brother Geng is a teacher at Didan High School, and we are not related by blood."

"Didan High School...eh? You are also a teacher."

Peers meet peers.

Xiaolin Chengzi felt that the atmosphere was relaxed and suddenly he was no longer so nervous.

"Well, they paid me a salary." Ye Geng nodded.

It's like jumping from November to April, and suddenly there are 5 months' salary on the salary card...

He added silently in his mind:

Although I clearly had not applied for the job at Didan High School in April, everything happened magically.

"That, Teacher Ye."

After finding the right title, Kobayashi Chengzi also continued the topic that he had not finished before:

"You just called me..."

"First of all, fasten your seat belt, and secondly, tell me the address where you want to go." Ye Gengyi said.

"Ah! I'm so sorry..."

Kobayashi Chengzi was embarrassed and quickly took out his mobile phone and pulled out the memo, "He lives near the level crossing of the Higashi City Circular Line in Bajiao Town. You see, this is right here..."

"Level crossing?" Ye Gengyi confirmed the location again.

"Um……"

Xiaolin Chengzi nodded:

"It's quite far from here, right? If it's inconvenient, the children and I can take the bus there."

"Brother Gengyi, do you have other work to be busy with?" Mitsuhiko leaned over and asked.

"No," Ye Geng stepped on the accelerator, "I just feel that the area near the level crossing is not suitable for writers to live."

"Eh? Why?" Yuantai was curious.

"It's because subways and trains pass by there, so the environment is very noisy and it's not suitable to sit down and write." Ai Haihara, who often stays up late, understands this very well.

"Eh...yes."

The three little figures suddenly realized and said warily:

"Teacher Xiaolin, is that person a liar?"

"No way~"

Xiaolin Chengzi waved his hand:

"The teacher checked his information online. Mr. Shansen is indeed a senior and famous writer."

"A famous writer..." Yuantai began to think about it.

"He's a celebrity!"

Mitsuhiko was excited:

"Perhaps you live in a mansion near a level crossing. As long as there is a soundproof room, you won't hear the noise from outside."

"Then there should be dedicated chefs and pastry chefs!"

Bumi Fantasy said:

“It’s like a prince and princess’s castle!”

"hey-hey……"

Yuantai swallowed his saliva:

"After the interview, we will definitely be treated to a sumptuous meal. I want to eat 10 bowls of eel rice!"

"Uh, this," Xiaolin Chengzi muttered with beady eyes, "I think it's not to that level yet..."

…

It's approaching 9 o'clock.

When we drove to Hakka Town, the rain had stopped.

In the cold breeze, the still wet leaves stood on the branches, swaying slightly from side to side like a group of frozen birds.

There were puddles on the rough road every few steps.

Park your car in a nearby open space.

Teacher Xiao Lin and the three children, who were carefully dressed, had to tiptoe carefully to avoid mud spots splashing on their clothes.

With great difficulty, several people arrived in front of the apartment corresponding to the address.

Looking up at the rough walls and the wall skin that fell off due to decay and could no longer bear its own weight, the children's illusions were shattered.

"Is this really here?"

"Not a castle..."

"Just an ordinary apartment..."

"What a pity. It seems that no TV station staff will come over." Haiyuan Ai's half-moon eyes struck from the side.

"well……"

The three children lowered their heads and sighed.

"Oh, it's okay..."

Xiaolin Chengzi said with relief:

"This way you will be less nervous when being interviewed, right?"

"We can't start the interview yet," Ayumi said suddenly, "because Conan hasn't come yet!"

"That's not urgent."

Ye Gengyi also looked up at the two-story apartment and said:

"Now that we are all downstairs, out of politeness we should go up and visit first. What do you think, Teacher Xiaolin?"
