Shinjou zipped up the zipper neatly, stood up the large suitcase on the floor, and then put the backpack she packed last night on her back.
Take a casual look around.
Apart from the furniture and the TV, the house was so clean that there were almost no personal belongings.
A flat bed, an empty dressing table, a lonely empty clothes hanger hanging on the wall, a wardrobe with only a few unwanted clothes...
Her eyes scanned everywhere to see if there was anything she had missed.
Although this is a room I have lived in for more than ten years, there seems to be nothing worth remembering.
After all the inspections were completed, Shintiao Xiang nodded with satisfaction, then reached out and gently opened the door.
There was silence downstairs.
After listening for a moment with your ears straightened, you can faintly hear faint snoring.
Apart from that, there was nothing else, only the chirping of birds sounded from the window at the back.
So she felt relieved.
Carefully pull the suitcase to the door, firmly grasp the handle with both hands, and lift it up with force.
"Hey~"
The suitcase rose precariously off the ground and remained suspended in the air.
"Hmm... so heavy..."
The vigorous chanting was mixed with the dull sound of holding one's breath.
The weight feedback from her hand made her secretly frightened, and her arms were trembling.
She tried to force forward like this, but as soon as she took half a step, she was already on the verge of reaching her limit.
Bang...the suitcase inevitably fell to the ground.
"Tsk..."
Shinjoka clicked her tongue in displeasure and let go of her hand.
It was only for a short while that I instinctively felt numbness in my arms.
While gently flicking his wrist, he faced the suitcase.
Through this attempt, she also understood a truth.
It was obvious that she couldn't move the box by herself, so much so that even lifting it for a moment would make her breath short and her arms numb.
In this case, let alone carrying it down to the second floor.
After thinking about this, Shinjouxiang couldn't help but sigh heavily, but he didn't dwell on it for too long.
Take out the uniform for school, a set of pajamas, two sets of changes of underwear, and your own toiletries.
He transferred these things into his schoolbag one after another, and then walked downstairs.
As for the suitcase?
Anyway, I couldn’t lift it for the time being, and calling the moving company for help might wake my mother up, so I had to wait and find a solution later.
Just thinking about it, I came to the first floor.
In the dim environment, the smell of cigarettes and alcohol permeated every corner of the room, and her mother was lying on the counter and sleeping soundly, which constituted the daily routine she saw.
He nimbly walked around the wine bottles scattered on the ground and followed a zigzag path to the bar.
Put a letter that has been prepared long ago in the woman's hand to ensure that she can read it when she wakes up.
After doing this, he turned around and walked out coolly.
Walk through the corridor, put on your boots at the entrance, and put your uniform shoes in a plastic bag and put them in your backpack.
Then open the door and go out.
In the morning light, the vision gradually becomes clear.
The next second, a tall and tall young man jumped into view.
Fengshen's handsome appearance, slender and straight figure, and his iconic short silver-white hair immediately made her recognize the other person's identity.
"...President?"
She couldn't help shouting in confusion, and tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face and asked: "Why are you here...?"
Putting the mobile phone in his hand back into his pocket, Yusuke Kato looked around, his dark eyes reflecting the petite appearance of the other party.
Her short black hair was swaying in the wind, her face was childlike, her skin was as smooth as a shelled egg, and her eyes like black grapes were full of doubts.
The girl was wearing an oversized light yellow knitted jacket, her small body was completely wrapped in fluffy and soft fabric, and the hem reached to her thighs.
A pair of black cuffed fur boots are decorated with two snow-white fluff balls of the same color as the edges, which looks very warm.
Through the coat chain pulled up to the chest, you can see that there is a cherry-colored sweatshirt underneath, which makes the skin color especially fair, as if it echoes the skin of the thigh below.
After being dressed up like this, a cute and delicate girl appears in front of her eyes.
Ignoring his own confusion, Kato Yusuke walked forward, stared at the backpack on his back for a moment, then opened his lips and asked:
"Is this all the luggage?"
"Eh……?"
"Didn't you send me a message yesterday saying that you were moving today? You only have this piece of luggage?"
"...Eh, no."
Shinjoka blinked her eyes repeatedly, her face showing genuine confusion, "Why is the president here?"
"I have nothing to do today, so I came to help you."
Looking up with eyes full of surprise.
"Help me... No way! President, do you want to help me move??"
"That's what I think. It's okay if you don't think it's necessary."
"Nothing like that! It's just..."
The girl said with some disbelief: "But I just wanted to inform the president about this yesterday, and I didn't expect you to actually come."
Kato Yusuke looked at her expressionlessly, but accidentally noticed that the makeup on her left face was slightly unnatural, so he couldn't help but reach out and touch it lightly.
"...Hiss." Shintiao Xiang immediately hummed in a low voice: "It hurts."
"What's going on here?"
He asked with a slight frown, but the other party just shook his head with twinkling eyes, as if he didn't want to say more.
Kato Yusuke glanced at the corridor behind her thoughtfully, but did not ask further questions.
Everyone has things they don't want to say, and not everything needs to be investigated.
Most of the time, he respects this individuality.
"Have you said hello to your family?"
"Well~ I left a letter, that'll be fine."
Shinjoka smiled and continued: "Speaking of which, President~ I actually have another suitcase that's too heavy to carry, would you like to help me get it?"
"Okay, where do you put it?"
"It's in my room, I'll take you there."
"good."
"Ah, and my mother is still sleeping. It will be a bit troublesome if I wake her up, so when you pass by the bar later, please pay attention to your feet. There are some wine bottles on the ground."
"I understand, lead the way."
"Okay~"
So, the two of them entered the house one after another.
Go through the corridor, then through the bar, and then to the second floor.
Here, Kato Yusuke saw the suitcase Shinjoka mentioned.
The specifications of the box are indeed not suitable for girls.
If you want to describe its size specifically...
It shouldn't be difficult to put the new incense in.
"This is the box, please, President."
The girl put her hands together in front of her face in a gesture of gratitude, but because her sleeves were too long, only the tips of a few slender fingers could be seen.
Kato Yusuke nodded calmly, picked up the suitcase, and walked downstairs, making almost no footsteps during the process.
The two of them entered and left so quietly, and soon arrived outside.
As Shinjoka closed the door, he said again: "Give me the backpack you are carrying."
"...?"
The movement of the girl's hands couldn't help but stagnate, and then she turned her head and looked a little uneasily, "Before that...can I ask? President."
"What?"
"It's just...have I done anything recently that dissatisfied the president...?"
Kato Yusuke frowned and said nothing at first, then pointed to somewhere and said: "I'll go to the alley to call for a taxi first. You can come here yourself."
After finishing speaking, he simply turned around and walked out.
Shinjoka stared at his back strangely, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled for a while, then slowly relaxed, and a certain idea suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Gentle people are gentle to everyone, and they will always meet everyone's expectations." - She guessed with some uncertainty.
The man walking in front is not gentle in the traditional sense, but he seems to be gentle only to the people around him.
Even if the target is her, an existence on the edge of strangers and acquaintances, he will occasionally respond to her expectations...
Shinjoka gently closed the door and walked forward with steps that were neither heavy nor light, but stopped after a few steps.
Looking back.
In the narrow alley, the inconspicuous bar of my home is still sitting there quietly. Through the gap in the curtains on the second floor, I can vaguely see the corner of the ceiling of my room.
A strange emotion surged in my heart.
He hesitated for a second, then quickly turned back to his face and raised his feet forward again.
Anyway, she can finally leave this annoying place...
When she walked out of the alley, Kato Yusuke happened to put the suitcase into the trunk of a taxi.
"President~"
Shintiao Xiang trotted up quickly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Nothing, let's get in the car."
"Hmm~Okay~"
The two people got into the back seat of the car one after another, and the driver who closed the trunk got in a step later than them.
"Excuse me, where are the two guests going?" the other party asked politely.
Kato Yusuke didn't speak, he just looked at Shinjoka beside him.
Although the client informed him of the move, he did not specify the specific address, so he did not know where he was going.
Faced with his questioning look, Shinjoka first smiled brightly, and then responded to the driver: "Please take us to Takadanobaba Station, thank you."
After saying that, he came close to him and put one of his arms in his arms.
The car started to drive slowly.
Kato Yusuke thought for a while and asked: "Where is the house you rent in Toshima District?"
"Yes~ Is there any problem? President."
"Why did you choose that place?"
"Huh? What you want to say..."
Shintiao Xiang put an index finger against his lower lip, thinking as he spoke.
“After all, the rent there is cheap, the transportation is convenient, and all kinds of commercial facilities are comprehensive.
The most important thing is that it’s not far from the school. You can go to the school just by taking the streetcar, so it’s very convenient in every sense~”
"Streetcar...you mean the Tokyo Arakawa Line?"
"Yeah~ That's right."
"It seems that the place you are looking for should not be far from An Yilun's home."
"Hey, that An Yi? Is this true?"
"Well, his family lives on Peeping Slope."
"Wow, that's a lie, isn't it super close? I'm right near Takatobashi."
Kato Yusuke nodded, said nothing more, and just looked out the window with nothing to do.
Shinjoka held his arm quietly, secretly looking at his handsome profile, and also obediently remained silent.
The touch from his arms was very solid.
Even through the clothes, you can clearly feel the strength, strength and security in it.
The most important thing is that this man is still young and rich.
‘It’s really funny. If you think about it, I have a much better view of people than my mother~’
While I was thinking about this silently, it seemed that the slap I received from that woman last night no longer hurt...
Shintiao Xiang felt a little happy at first, and then felt inexplicably uninterested. She always felt that her strange resistance came out of nowhere.
She shook her head slightly and looked out the window following Yusuke Kato's gaze.
A stray crow was like a black spot in the sky, flying alone towards the telephone pole.
"Hey, President...?"
She asked cautiously: "Can I lean on you?"
"..."
There was no response, and it was unclear whether he was thinking about it or ignoring it.
The silent silence lasted for more than ten seconds.
Just when the balance in Shinjoka's heart had already fallen towards the side of rejection, she finally heard the response.
"what ever."
Without saying anything, she immediately leaned towards the man with a smile and boldly put her head on his shoulder.
His gaze naturally looked downwards, landing on the big hand with distinct joints.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally gave up on some thought.
'After all, it would be bad if the president thought I was pushing too far.' She whispered in her heart, and her unstable emotions seemed to have finally calmed down a bit.
…
More than ten minutes later, the taxi arrived near Takadanobaba Station.
After paying the fare, the two got out of the car together, walked across the Takatobashi railway track, and then came to a residential street.
In sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle when we first got off the bus, the environment here is so quiet that it feels like the previous hustle and bustle was just an illusion.
There are also many old houses and apartments in the buildings on both sides, which are full of calm atmosphere.
Under the leadership of Shinjoka, they arrived at a building that looked similar to Yusuke's old apartment, but looked slightly better.
After greeting the manager here, the two of them went to the second floor of the apartment, opened the door and entered room "201" at the end of the corridor.
This is a 1LDK room.
There are separate toilets and bathrooms, an open kitchen and living room in the same space, and a small balcony outside that is common in every household.
The overall layout is also very similar to Yusuke's, they are all typical single-living apartments.
As for the furniture, there was no one at all, making it look very empty.
