However, it is too early for her to dress up now.

"I'm sorry for letting you see me in such a mess. Mr. Natsume."

The girl bowed to Natsume Yayoi and said respectfully.

Natsume Yayoi was a little surprised.

"You know me?"

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Qianba Qianhua. I just moved next door to your house yesterday."

The girl's dress and conversation made Natsume Yayoi feel a little inconsistent.

It's probably because of family upbringing.

He didn't think too much, but pointed to the shopping bag beside her and asked: "Since we are neighbors, is it okay?"

Chiba Qianhua hesitated and bowed again.

"Then please."

Natsume Yayoi picked up the shopping bag with both hands and felt the weight.

Even for myself, it was a bit difficult to lift it, let alone the little girl next to me.

"Mr. Natsume, please let me carry one."

Chiba Chika stretched out her hand to take a shopping bag, but Natsume Yayoi dodged it.

"Do you know what romance is for men?" Natsume Yayoi said as she walked.

Qianba Qianhua thought for a while, then tilted her head, "Help the lady carry the bag?"

Natsume Yayoi was a little surprised.

"how do you know?"

Qianba Qianhua covered her mouth and smiled.

"You've asked me this question. Isn't it easy to guess the answer? Don't underestimate the ability of women in the workplace to observe words and emotions."

Natsume Yayoi paused.

Wait, what did she say! ?

Adult? ? ?

Because of her words, he subconsciously began to look at Qianba Qianhua.

A petite figure of less than 1.4 meters, a childish and cute face, a mini workplace skirt...

Workplace skirt...

Is this where the sense of disobedience comes from?

But no matter how you look at it, she is just a little girl who is keen on dressing up as an adult.

is she lying

why?

Sensing Natsume Yayoi's scrutinizing gaze, Chiba Chika was not angry, but said slightly apologetically:

"I'm sorry to have to accept this reality.

After all, it’s hard for me to accept the way I am. "

Chiba Chika's calmness made Natsume Yayoi feel a little guilty.

"Feel sorry."

"Dwarfism."

"What?" He didn't respond for a while.

"When I was young, I mistakenly thought it was late growth, so I drank a lot of milk every day. I still insist on it now," Chiba Chika said with a smile.

Natsume Yayoi didn't know how to proceed, so she had to remain silent.

"However, even though you can't look like an adult, it's not bad to always remain cute, right?"

Natsume Yayoi continued to remain silent.

Seeing him like this, Qianba Qianhua tugged on his sleeve.

"Mr. Natsume?"

Natsume Yayoi lowered her head.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something else..."

"You are a good person."

Looking at the girl, or rather the woman's face, with a smile that could heal people's hearts, Natsume Yayoi pursed her lips.

Then he responded with a slightly relaxed smile.

“If I’m considered a good person just by helping carry my bags, I’ll make a lot of money.”

The look of sympathy had disappeared from his face.

After walking into the elevator of the apartment and putting down the shopping bags, Natsume Yayoi had time to stretch her sore shoulders.

"Sorry, I bought too many things and made you tired." Qianba Qianhua said guiltily.

"Exercising occasionally is not a bad thing for me."

"Please let me repay your kindness!"

"That's not necessary."

Before she could finish her words of rejection, Qianba Qianhua bowed deeply again.

"please!"

At this moment, the elevator suddenly shook.

"ah!"

Chiba Chika, who was unsteady on her feet, screamed in surprise and hurriedly threw herself into Natsume Yayoi's arms.

"Um, Miss Chiba, are you okay?"

The elevator began to rise slowly.

"Hug, sorry~"

Chiba Qianhua, whose face was red, lowered her head and took two steps back.

The two fell silent.

Ding Dong!

The elevator shook again, then stopped.

Natsume Yayoi picked up her shopping bag again and walked out of the elevator.

Chiba Qianhua, who was following him, called out to him.

"Mr. Natsume."

"Ok?"

"I'm really scared to receive your help. Please let me repay you!"

Natsume Yayoi hesitated.

It seems that if you don't make a request, it will cause trouble to the other party.

But what are the requirements?

Looking at the petite and frail Qianye Qianhua, his heart moved.

"Miss Chiba."

"Ok?"

"If you want to repay the favor anyway, how about buying me a beer?"

"Huh?! But, Natsume-san is still in high school, right?"

Natsume Yayoi scratched her head and said with some embarrassment: "Because of my poor academic performance, I failed more than one grade in elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Even though I am wearing a high school uniform, I am actually 20 years old."

"what!!"

Chiba Chika opened her eyes wide, opened her mouth, and looked at Natsume Yayoi in shock.

Natsume Yayoi smiled shyly.

In fact, the request he made was a kind of temptation.

Even though Chiba Chika's statement made sense, it was still difficult for him to treat her as an adult woman.

Maybe the other party just lied about being an adult out of defensiveness?

"Is just one can enough?"

Natsume Yayoi was stunned for a moment by Chiba Chika's question.

Then, he immediately replied: "Yes."

After receiving his confirmation, Chiba Chika rummaged through her shopping bag for a moment, took out a can of beer, and handed it to Natsume Yayoi with both hands.

"Please accept it."

The convenience store clerk was able to sell beer to Chiba Chika, who looked like an elementary school student, so he must have confirmed her adult identity.

Natsume Yayoi no longer had any doubts.

The two said good night to each other and opened the doors of their homes.

"Well, um, Mr. Natsume."

Natsume Yayoi turned her face sideways, looked at Chiba Chika who poked her head out from the next door, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I never gave you wine."

After saying that, Qianba Qianhua closed the door.
