After Tao Zhiming finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, he didn't go to watch the news first, but walked directly to her side.

He bent over and stretched out his head, leaning forward to see her downcast face, and then said: "If you are in such a bad mood, how can you make those housewives think that you are a successful and happy woman?"

Onodera Runa moved her hands for a moment, then turned over the fried fish again without answering.

"Let's go out together after dinner." Tao Zhiming just put it down and walked away.

Onodera Runa pursed her lips.

Why? Why does he always take it so naturally?

It was as if after what he said last night, he was sure that he would continue to work for him, or would he live here and take care of his daily life?

But she also knew in her heart that this was indeed the case.

The income is always beyond their imagination, with free accommodation and food. They are responsible for paying for the purchase of ingredients, and they also provide themselves with 100,000 yen per month for cooking and cleaning fees.

Onodera Runa knew that she couldn't bear to leave here.

Not only because of these, but also because after one night, she discovered something.

In fact, Tao Jun was also treating an originally very simple matter very seriously.

If it was just to vent something, I would have gotten it a long time ago, right?

Is the "truly regarded as important person" part more important to me, or the "part of my heart" that is more important to me?

Onodera Runa didn't have an answer yet, but decided to continue like this.

What supported her determination was the previous scenes she remembered last night.

His expression when he went home and saw the small living room after receiving the call he made.

He took Yako to buy comic books, looking like a big kid.

He cooked noodles for Yako, and his tone of voice when he said he drooled while sleeping was cute...

Onodera Runa's heart was in chaos, but in her chaotic heart, one thing became clear.

At least until now, he has been very polite to himself. He just touched himself when he said that last night...

Since you never thought about getting more, what is there to be sad about?

Tao Jun gave her the power to choose.

In a future that originally felt like there was no other way to go, a new path emerges.

Tao Zhiming knew that she would think a lot, but he would not delve into what exactly she would think about.

To Onodera Runa, everything he told was the truth.

Everything just depends on her choice. Different choices lead to different paths.

Tao Zhiming has an open heart. The pain or joy of people in this world is just because some people choose few and some choose many.

From the first time he arrived at the house where Onodera Runa lived, he confirmed that she was a persistent woman.

Otherwise, there would be no need to live in such embarrassment and work so hard.

Therefore, he was very clear that maybe he would not be Onodera Runa's most "perfect" choice, but he would undoubtedly be the one closest to her ideal at this time.

What's more, a woman who is almost 30 years old sees everything very clearly.

Tao Zhiming is at least a frank guy, and at least a guy who treats his woman well.

Now, he turned the TV to a channel that broadcast financial news, looked at the numbers in the corner of the screen, and raised the corner of his mouth a little more.

He is happy because he has made more money.

But there must be many people who are suffering, because they may feel that the bottom was reached yesterday and that today they are bound to bottom out.

Bounce, bounce, and bounce away the souls of many people.

Tao Zhiming turned the TV back and said to Mizi with a smile: "Keep watching."

The little girl's face was full of surprise, she thought her elder brother was going to watch boring news for a long time!

With cartoons playing in the background, Tao Zhiming walked to the phone and started dialing.

The call was connected, and on the other side was a man with a very calm voice: "Who is it?"

Tao Zhiming was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Excuse me, I am Tao Dalang, Ueda-chan's classmate at Tokyo University. Are you uncle? I heard Xana-chan talk about the glorious history of the Ueda family. I have really admired the name for a long time..."

"Tao?" The voice on the other side showed a hint of surprise and said, "The glorious history of the Ueda family? I'm ashamed. It seems that I have something to do with Shana. Please wait..."

Tao Zhiming began to think as he heard the phone call being put down.

Ueda Shona's father, Ueda Masahiro, seems to be a little sensitive to the surname Tao?

Tao Zhiming only thought that Ueda Masahiro realized that he might not be a neon person. After a while, he heard Ueda Shana's lazy and angry voice: "You called so early! I have asked the president and teacher about you!

The house in the school is rented to students for use as offices or something, it’s so weird!”

"...What's so strange about this?" Tao Zhiming really couldn't figure it out.

"Really... the school is a place for study and research! It's not a place for doing business!" Xia Na Ueda raised her voice twice, "I really want to find a place close to the school, so just find it around the school.

Yet?"

Tao Zhiming muttered: "I thought it was just a small thing for you, but I didn't expect that it couldn't be done..."

"Hey!" Sina Ueda stopped being lazy, "I've tried my best! The teacher said, if you want a position, why not do it in the name of conducting some research? In that case, you can still apply.

"

"Research?" Tao Zhiming asked immediately, "In this case, can we not pay the rent?"

"...What do you want to do again?" Xia Na Ueda felt a little bad.

Tao Zhiming said seriously: "The soul of a warrior is to serve the country loyally, right? Now that the financial market is clouded with war, the Kendo Club must come up with countermeasures! Let's study the power of the financial sword!"

"...Are you kidding me? What the hell is the Financial Sword?" Sina Ueda said in a helpless tone.

"Anyway, this is just in the name of research! Members of the Kendo Club are also students of Tokyo University. You know many teachers, so it will be no problem to talk about it. At most, you can find an economics professor to be your instructor!"

"Why should I help you like this!" Shana Ueda became furious, "Stop being a rogue, you bastard!"

"Beautiful and lovely Teacher Xia Na, this is very important to me. The communication conditions outside the school are not good, otherwise I would definitely find a more convenient location." Tao Zhiming continued to cheat, "If you don't want to help me, you can only bring someone with you

I brought you a gift and came to visit again. I sent you back last time, I know where it was. By the way, what kind of gift does your father like?"

"No! Don't come!" Sina Ueda was going crazy, "Are you familiar with me? Why do you have to ask me for help!"

"In the past, I spent all my energy on that woman and was so miserable that I had no friends." Tao Zhiming sighed, "Although I have only met her twice, I already feel that Shana-chan is a kind-hearted girl who knows how to understand other people's moods.

.”

"No, no, last time you said my character was questionable!" Sina Ueda felt as if she was afraid of him, "Success is not guaranteed! I haven't slept enough yet, bye!"

The phone was put down, and Tao Zhiming turned back.

Onodera Runa had already placed the various breakfast dishes on the table and sat quietly aside.

Was he talking on the phone with a classmate from Tokyo University just now? If she's beautiful and cute... she's a girl, right? A girl whose family has a glorious history.

And the woman who used all his energy, who made him miserable to the point where he tried to commit suicide, is probably the one Ueno-kun was talking about.

The first time I fell in love in my life, I met such a woman, so I protected my heart and became such a "cold" person, right?

Seeing Tao Zhiming come and sit down to eat, Onodera Runa said softly: "What are the arrangements for today? I'm going to buy fresh ingredients."

Tao Zhiming stopped the spoon and suddenly said with a smile: "Runa is still gentle. Don't buy it yet. Let's go out together later and eat outside at noon. Yako, shall we go buy a cute kimono?"

Onodera Runa looked at him in astonishment. It was too late to think about the gentleness and other things: "Huh? Will Yako go out together? Isn't there something to do?"

"I have something to do. Now that I've made money, I need to buy a lot of useful things." Tao Zhiming didn't even raise his head, "Remember to bring your ID later."

"...I understand." Runa Onodera thought for a while and then stood up and said, "Yiko, come here, I want to change some clothes."

"Okay!" When she heard that she was going out, Inoue Yako didn't even care about the cartoon and stood up excitedly.

Tao Zhiming simply went over and changed the channel again. After eating, he finally called Kudo Changle: "Are you still in the club?"

"...I've been waiting for a call all night! Mr. Tao!" Kudo Changle looked a little resentful.
Chapter completed!
