designer who lives in the next room

Natsume Haruko's mother has been comforting herself, but the more she talks, the more uncomfortable she feels. Her mind is full of Natsume Haruko and Nanase Nami crooked together. She suddenly leaned over and threw herself on the sofa, hugging her like a little girl. She leaned on the cushion and acted like a baby, "Wow... Haruko doesn't want me anymore..."

In fact, Nanase Nami guessed wrong before, Natsume Haruko can't be called "mother control" at all. The reason why she likes to stay with her mother is because she feels at ease. After all, her mother is the only one who has always protected her. people.

But Natsume Haruko's mother, although she has always shown a very generous and dignified appearance, and doesn't like to interfere with her daughter's affairs, she is actually a "daughter control" to the letter. If it weren't for this, she Now she won't be so jealous that Nanase Nami abducted her daughter.

It was not easy for Nanase Nai in the room to wait until Natsume Haruko returned to normal. The tea on the table had long been turned into ice water under the baptism of the air conditioner. Although the cold tea had no fragrance, now this It is quite comfortable to drink in season.

Natsume Haruko wiped away the tears left on her face, cleared her throat again, and told what she had discussed with her mother just now, if Nanase Nami was willing to stay and work here, then her salary would be the same as that of Natsume Haruko Same as said before.

"I actually came here just for this matter..." Nanase Nami was a little embarrassed. Natsume Haruko really helped her a lot this time. Working here has a high hourly salary and a lot of money. Don't worry that someone will bully her.

The most important thing is that I no longer have to be wary of people who break into the empty door. I used to live in the dormitory arranged by the company for employees, a simple single room, and I was stolen several times just like that.

Well now, there will definitely not be thieves who are stupid enough to come here to steal things. It is really a good thing to have a good relationship with the underworld women.

"So you agree?" Natsume Haruko never thought that Nanase Nami would have a reason to refuse, she just wanted to confirm again, if Nanase Nami had no objection, then she should prepare for Nanase Nami room to go.

Although she really wanted to live with Nanase Nami, if this was the case, it would not be good for both of them. She was also a girl in her 20s, and she had to satisfy her personal space.

And even if Natsume Haruko has no friends, she also knows that the two people who have been together for a long time will complain to each other, so she doesn't want such a thing to happen with Nanase Nami, besides, there are still many vacant rooms at home Woolen cloth.

"Please let me stay here and work." Nanase Nami stood up and promised Natsume Haruko, "I will work hard, ah...but if I do something wrong, Haruko, you can Don't deduct my salary."

Nanase Nami is really funny when she talks, she always makes Natsume Haruko laugh from time to time.Natsume Haruko nodded and agreed to Nanase Nami's request, "As long as it's not too wrong."

The next step is to tidy up a room for Nanase Nami. Under the recommendation of Natsume Haruko, she chose to live next door to Natsume Haruko, a room that is not too big, and the inside is made of wood. There is a faint woody aroma.

Nanase Nami likes this smell very much, this faint fragrance makes her feel very relaxed.It's time for dinner, and the servants have come to call them several times. If they don't go down, Natsume Haruko's mother will definitely be angry.

There is almost nothing prepared in the room except mattresses and quilts. Natsume Haruko plans to take Nanase Nami to buy after dinner. Running around in the corridor, her mother planned to let her go for the time being.

But soon, Natsume Haruko faced a new problem. There were quite a lot of servants in her family. According to the tradition that has been used in the past, the servants eat in the hall next door, and they and Master Natsume People at home don't eat in one place.

Natsume Haruko's mother is not a mean person, she also thought about letting everyone sit together to eat, but the servants at home are basically old people who have worked here for a long time and are unwilling to change this tradition easily.

"Um... I'm a servant too..." Nanase Nami looked at the empty seat next to Natsume Haruko and Natsume Haruko's mother sitting opposite, and scratched her head, "I Shouldn't we be eating there..."

Nanase Nami doesn't have the feeling of "over there is inferior", she just doesn't want to break the tradition of Natsume's family.If she sat down to eat casually like this, others might not be very happy.

Natsume Haruko is actually thinking about this issue, she doesn't know how to deal with it, since Nanase Nami wants to stay and work here, then she is the servant of this family, but on the other hand, she is Natsume Haruko's friend …

Natsume Haruko, who didn't know what to do at all, had to turn her head to look at her mother. Now the only way to solve it is to let the mother of the head of the family solve it.

"You just sit here." Unexpectedly, her mother didn't think so much at all, she pointed to the chair next to Natsume Haruko, "I don't want that tradition for a long time, it's fun when everyone sits and eats together. "

It's not to give Nanase Nami a step down, Natsume Haruko's mother speaks from the heart.

When she finished speaking, an expression of "I see" suddenly appeared on her face, and she pointed at the table with her finger, which attracted the attention of Haruko Natsume and Nami Nanase, "You guys are going to go shopping later, right? By the way, ask the decoration company how long it takes to smash a wall..."

While talking, she pointed to the wall that separates this hall from the next hall, "If you smash it, there will be no such thing."

With the consent of Natsume Haruko's mother, Nanase Nami sat at the same table with them. After coming to Tokyo, she only bought discounted meals at convenience stores except for some working meals prepared by the company cafeteria for dinner. fast food, so her jaw almost dropped when she saw the gorgeous dinner at Natsume's.

There are crabs and lobsters, a wide variety of vegetables, and the juicy beef...Of course there are fish, but Haruko Natsume doesn't like to eat so much, so I don't do much.Nanase Nami turned her head and asked Natsume Haruko in a low voice, "Is this because I came here as a guest... This is too rich..."

Nanase Nami thought that this was carefully prepared by Natsume Haruko's mother, and it was too luxurious to use these to entertain guests.

Unexpectedly, Natsume Haruko shook her head, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up a carbonated drink and poured it for herself, "No, my family usually eats these, don't you usually eat them, Nami?" ?”

How can I eat these...

Two or three meals a month's wages are gone.

Nanase Nami cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into her mouth. She really regretted the mellow taste and juicy beef. She regretted not getting to know Haruko Natsume earlier.

Volume [-]# is still pleasant by the sea

Different from the hustle and bustle of the city, although there are many tourists on the beach, it is much quieter.The beach house under the name of Iori Kyoko is not very big, but it is more than enough to receive her good friends.

Originally, Iori Kyoko planned to come here with Yui and the others yesterday, but no one had entered the beach house for a long time, and the corridors and foyers were covered with dust, so until last night, the people hired by Iori Kyoko brought The villa is cleaned up.

Su Changxi, who was doing nothing at home, also came here with Iori Kyoko. She hadn't seen Yui and Kimura Asuka for a long time, so she was somewhat nervous.Sitting in the co-pilot of Iori Kyoko's car, she looked worried, and the closer she got to the beach house, the clearer the past stories emerged in her mind.

What did she do at that time, what a bad memory she left for Li Zixi and Nanako!How much trouble was caused to Yui and the others, she felt very scared when she thought of this, she didn't know what she would say when she saw Yui.

"Don't worry so much." Iori Kyoko suddenly took Su Changxi's hand, and Iori Kyoko, who was waiting for the traffic light, saw Su Changxi's worried face, so she said to her in a very gentle voice, "Those things are over, and the end is over." Yi and the others are not the kind of small-bellied people."

Iori Kyoko has her reasons for saying so with certainty. People around Yui will always cause Yui a lot of trouble, especially Li Zixi and Nanako. She will help to solve any way, and besides, those things about Su Changxi at that time were not directly related to Yui, so it is unlikely that Yui would have any opinion on Su Changxi.

Listening to Iori Kyoko's explanation, Su Changxi felt a little more relaxed, but she was still very curious why she suddenly wanted to go to that beach house that no one had visited for a long time, and it was Yui who proposed it on her own initiative.

In Su Changxi's memory, Yui should be the kind of person who doesn't like going out very much.

"As the saying goes, everyone has a time when they want to relax..." Iori Kyoko said with a smile, "Even Yui's lazy personality occasionally wants to change the environment for two days, ah... But I I think she wants to come to the beach house this time, probably because it has something to do with Kimura Asuka."

"Kimura Asuka?" Su Changxi repeated the name. She had only met this person a few times, and she hadn't spoken a few words to her, so Su Changxi didn't know exactly what kind of person Kimura Asuka was. "What happened?" Things... Kyoko, do you know?"

Yui called at that time just to ask if she could go to Iori Kyoko's beach house for a few days, and did not tell Iori Kyoko what the reason was, and Iori Kyoko was also because of the help of Yui and Kimura Asuka not long ago. After leaving her, she was grateful and agreed to Yui's request without even thinking about it.

Facing Su Changxi's question now, Iori Kyoko could only shake her head, "I don't really know, but they are probably coming soon, and if there is really anything, she will tell us then."

Iori Kyoko actually hoped that nothing would happen, she hated the feeling of going out to deal with all kinds of things, and now she just wanted to take Su Changxi and Yui to relax.

Going for a swim in the sea, eating some shaved ice, and playing on the beach in a bathing suit, Iori Kyoko doesn't want to deal with trouble at all.

Just when Iori Kyoko and Su Changxi rushed to the beach house, Yui and Kimura Asuka had already arrived at the beach. Iori Kyoko had told Yui before that she would be late as the host, so she didn't see Iori for a long time. The two of Xingzi's golden hair found a place to rest under the shade of a tree where the sun couldn't shine.

As the host, Iori Kyoko has a lot of things to prepare. Her beach house is good everywhere, but it is too far away from the supermarket. If she wants to come here for a few days, she has to buy some things first, such as barbecue. Stove and coals, and some good beef and vegetables.

Of course, drinks and beer are also essential, but these can be bought in small shops by the sea. Iori Kyoko doesn't want to waste the energy of the boss to carry beer from the supermarket.

After leaving the hustle and bustle of the urban area and coming to the beach, Kimura Asuka's ecology has obviously relaxed a lot. Ever since she met Nanase Nami a few days ago, she often looks out of her mind.

"Feeling better?" Yui took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and handed it to Kimura Asuka. It was still cold when he bought it, but now it's a little warm. "Drink some water."

Kimura Asuka took the water that Yui handed her, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a few sips before giving it back to her. Drinking warm water is really uncomfortable in summer.But Kimura Asuka still nodded towards Yui, "It's much better..."

Kimura Asuka really feels better. These days, she has been recalling the day when she ran into Nanase Nami. Because Yui was trapped in the rain, she went to pick her up. The location was chosen by Iori Kyoko, Nanase It was impossible for Nami to know her.

So it can only be a coincidence where she met Nanase Nami. Although she recognized herself at a glance, Kimura Asuka didn't hear any words that she would come to find herself at that time.

Kimura Asuka sometimes thinks, maybe Nanase Nami is no longer the person she was back then, and it is not impossible for her to appear here, she herself was born in Kansai, and she also came to live in Tokyo.

Besides, if Nanase Nami really came to look for Kimura Asuka on purpose, then Nanase Nami must also know where Kimura Asuka lives, and if she is looking for her, she must have appeared long ago...

The sound of the wheels rolling over the leaves interrupted Kimura Asuka's contemplation, and when she raised her head, she happened to see Miss Golden Retriever waving to her side.

"Hey, Yui, Asuka..." Iori Kyoko waved her hand, and it was only a few meters away, which made her feel like a thousand miles away, "Sorry to keep you waiting, come on car."

In fact, Yui and the others didn't wait long, but the heat outside made them look a little tired.Yui, who picked up the bag from the ground, got into Iori Kyoko's car first, and when she got in, she glanced at Su Changxi through the rearview mirror.

Su Changxi was obviously very nervous when she saw Yui. She looked away more than once but still couldn't help looking at Yui. After Yui sat down, she greeted Yui.

"Hello... sister Yuyi." Su Changxi was not sure whether Yuyi would pay attention to her, so her voice was a little low.

"Well, hello." Unexpectedly, Yui replied immediately. Su Changxi was a little surprised, and looked at Yui through the rearview mirror again. Relax.

Su Changxi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was true what Iori Kyoko said, Yui and the others really didn't care about what happened back then.

"Wow, Su Changxi is here too!" Unlike Yui, Asuka Kimura is a person who is more active, although sometimes she looks silly, she waved at Su Changxi when she got in the car, even if she was not familiar with her , "It's been a long time since I saw you, has she become more beautiful?"

"No...not at all..." Although she knew that what Asuka Kimura said was just a compliment, it still made Su Changxi blush a little. She turned her face slightly to the side and looked out the window, "But still Thank you......"

"By the way, what did Miss Golden Retriever buy?" Yui patted Iori Kyoko's seat. At this time, she hadn't started the car, so it wouldn't be a problem to disturb her.

"I bought some things for barbecue and snacks." Iori Kyoko turned to Yui and said, "When we get to the beach, we must eat barbecue... Ah, of course, if Yui and Asuka have something else we want to eat, we will also You can buy it now, it’s quite close to the supermarket.”

Iori Kyoko's answer made Yui very satisfied. Eating barbecue by the sea was something she liked very much.Yui thought for a while, and it seemed that there was nothing more to buy, so she nodded to Iori Kyoko.

"Then let's go." Yui stretched in the car, and bumped Kimura Asuka with his elbow, "Let's just relax for a few days."

All the things that happened in the past few days made people feel very tired. From Aino Kuriyuan to Nami Nanase, a lot of troubles happened in just a few months. Yui participated in the whole process, so She is also the one who wants to rest the most.

The car started slowly, and it took less than 10 minutes to drive forward to the beach house of Iori Kyoko's family. Yui looked at the beach not far from the window, with all kinds of sun umbrellas and various People in the posture, she can't wait to roll on the sand.

It was only in the afternoon when we arrived at the villa and put all the things away. As for "rolling in the sand", it was just Yui's casual talk, she would not do things that children would do, thinking of people like her At best, change into a bathing suit, put on sunscreen and stay under the umbrella.

Staying like a fox can catch the eyes of all the men on the beach even without moving.

"Are you sure you don't want to go swimming in the sea?" Asuka Kimura asked Yui while applying sunscreen on her back. Now it was just the two of them. Iori Kyoko and Su Changxi went to a nearby shop to buy shaved ice.

"Not now." Yui pushed the sunglasses that had slipped off his face, and glanced at the people all around who were always looking this way, "I don't want to show my swimming style to these stinky men, can I?" You are the only one who admires my swimming style."

Yui said this very provocatively. She thought that Asuka Kimura would be very moved, but Asuka Kimura just pinched her face with her hands.

"Just show me the swimming style? If I remember correctly, you kitten doesn't seem to be able to swim very well." Kimura Asuka raised her eyebrows and said to Yui, "You are just afraid of losing your talent, right? …”

Volume [-]#We don't go back

Compared to Yui who keeps encountering things, Li Zixi in her hometown is much more relaxed.It was as hot as a stove outside, no one would move around under the scorching sun, and even those cicadas who could shout out their voices seemed to have lost the strength to sing because of the heat.

The air conditioner has been outputting at the highest power all the time, it's really too hot, Li Zixi has not listened to the doctor's advice to tell Nanako to turn on the air conditioner less in the past two days, she just turns up the temperature of the air conditioner slightly when she sleeps.

In this way, the air conditioner has been turned on for several days in a row, and the electricity in the house is almost exhausted.Although Li Zixi's home is a high-rise complex, it is a relatively heavy building. The electric meter here is still old-fashioned, and you need to use a card to go to the property to buy electricity and then plug it in.

Mother gave the electricity card to Li Zixi in the morning, and asked her to buy it at noon. According to the electricity consumption rate in the past two days, the only electricity left in the meter is not enough to last until night.

But it's just an oven outside, Li Zixi really doesn't want to go out.

"Beep...beep...beep..." But the alarm sounded continuously from the electric meter to remind Li Zixi that it was about to run out of oil and the lights would run out, and it would be on every few tens of seconds. One sound makes the listener very upset.

Li Zixi turned on the electric meter again and looked at it. This time the value displayed told her that it was really impossible to buy it. If the power was cut off now, judging by the temperature outside, it would take less than 10 minutes for the house to become The steamer, and the ice cream I bought a few days ago can't keep it.

So Li Zixi kicked Nanako who had fallen asleep on the sofa. The latter was startled, sat up from the sofa, and looked around vigilantly.

"What are you doing..." Nanako realized what was going on after making sure that there was no danger around her. She rubbed her neck with her hands. She was sleeping on the sofa in a strange posture. Now her neck Some are not very comfortable, "Did I just fall asleep?"

"Slept soundly..." Li Zixi said while changing her clothes, she felt a headache when she thought of the temperature outside.After she finished changing her clothes, she also threw Nanako's short sleeves to her, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Nanako asked Li Zixi curiously before she put on her short sleeves. She glanced out the window, and the buildings in the distance seemed to be evaporating.Nanako pointed at what she saw, and looked at Li Zixi in disbelief, "Are you crazy? I have to go out at this time... I will die!"

Nanako thought Li Zixi was going to take her out to play, so she shook her head desperately, "I'm not going...I'm not going..."

Nanako kept talking, and in this weather, she just wanted to lie on the sofa and eat ice cream while talking about the air conditioner. Even if it caused diarrhea, she thought it was better than being exposed to the sun.

"I'm not going to take you out to play. If I can, I don't want to go out." Li Zixi sighed, and she spoke from the bottom of her heart.She put the electric card in her hand in front of Nanako, and even Li Zixi, who Nanako couldn't read Chinese characters, explained to her thoughtfully, "We have to buy electricity, otherwise there might be no air conditioner for half an hour. gone."

"Then wait until the electricity runs out before going." Nanako turned over, the hotter the weather, the worse Nanako's procrastination.

But Li Zixi, who had already changed her clothes, would not spoil her. Seeing Nanako who was only wearing underwear with her back facing her, Li Zixi suddenly smirked, and pulled up the strap of Nanako's underwear, before Nanako could react. Time to pull it up and let it go.

Following Nanako's cry, a red mark appeared on her back and on Li Zixi's face at the same time, but one was in the shape of a belt and the other was in the shape of a slap.

Nanako angrily followed Li Zixi out the door, the place where the tape was red was painful, she just wanted to go out later, but Li Zixi would do such a thing to her.

The red marks on Li Zixi's face disappeared quickly, Nanako didn't use much strength.

"As compensation... let me treat you to ice cream." Li Zixi turned her head and said to Nanako, she did go too far just now, and she clearly knew that it would hurt Nanako a lot.

There are so many types of ice cream in China. Before Nanako came here, she never thought that there would be so many types and styles of ice cream, so when Li Zixi said that she would treat her to eat ice cream, originally Nanako, who was still angry, couldn't hold on anymore.

She originally wanted to just keep pretending to be angry with Li Zixi, so that she would realize how bad what she just did was, but after thinking of so many types and flavors of ice cream, the angry expression on Nanako's face disappeared immediately.

Seeing the change of expression on Nanako's face, Li Zixi relaxed, "Don't keep your mouth shut, it looks like Nanako, you forgive me."

"I only forgive you for the sake of the ice cream." Nanako stepped out of the corridor first, and the scorching sun immediately shone on her body, and within a few seconds, her skin was burning hot, Nanako said to Li Zixi While quickly jumping into the shade, "So if you want to thank you, thank you for the ice cream, and hurry up, it's really hot..."

The summer in Li Zixi's city is a bit strange, that is, no matter how hot it is under the sun, as long as you find the shade of a tree, it will be much better. Logically speaking, even if there is no direct sunlight under the shade, the temperature will be the same The difference is not too much under the sun, but at noon here, Nanako even felt a little cool walking in the shade.

But no matter how cool it was in the shade of the trees, it was not as comfortable as the air conditioner. Nanako and Li Zixi walked towards the place where the electricity was sold while chatting.

There was no one on the road, and even the old watermelon seller left the watermelon cart under the shade of the tree and ran to the store to enjoy the shade. Looking at those plump watermelons, Li Zixi suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"Does Nanako like watermelon?" Li Zixi turned her head and asked Nanako. She didn't remember eating watermelon in Japan, and she had never seen Nanako eat it. "By the way, have you ever eaten watermelon?"

"Of course I have eaten it..." Nanako replied to Li Zixi with some helplessness. Even though watermelon in Japan is very expensive, it is not unaffordable. "It's just that I eat less. I like it very much, it has a lot of moisture and is relatively sweet.”

"Is it sweeter..." Li Zixi thought about the videos she had watched, and thought that Japanese watermelons are so expensive and small, and they are not very sweet, so she had an idea in her heart, she wanted Nanako to feel it. Watermelon feels refreshing.

Li Zixi and Nanako bought the electricity very quickly, and there was no queue at the neighborhood committee, so everything was very fast.The shop was with the melon seller's car, so Li Zixi didn't need to make a detour. She asked Nanako to pick out her favorite ice cream first, and she went to pick out watermelon herself.

She kept patting back and forth on the watermelons, listening to the sound one by one. In fact, Li Zixi didn't need to do this at all. The watermelons were already ripe at this time.

"My little girl, stop taking pictures..." The melon seller looked at Li Zixi's movements and ran over from the reclining chair in the shop with a distressed face, "If you take pictures like this, it will crack after a while... ..."

Hearing what the old man said, Li Zixi had no choice but to stop what she was doing. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Nanako coming out of the store with an ice cream. She asked the old man, "Are you sure this melon is ripe?"

"Of course, how could it be possible to sell unripe melons? Isn't that a signboard?" The melon seller touched his watermelon, "Which one do you want, little girl?"

Nanako had already walked to Li Zixi's side, she couldn't help being surprised when she saw the cart full of watermelons, so many and so big.She saw Li Zixi pointing at a very big watermelon, and was about to pay for it while talking to the uncle.
