designer who lives in the next room

After Yui finished speaking, he left the coffee shop, leaving Natsume Haruko alone.

Natsume Haruko sat on the chair blankly, feeling very strange in her heart.She couldn't understand why Yui would do this to herself after she said those hurtful things. Yui was not angry at all because she favored Nanase Nami and said bad things about her friend.

Instead, he left his contact information.

Natsume Haruko looked at Yui's business card, frowning tightly.

Suddenly, she picked up the business card and crumpled it into a ball, about to throw it towards the trash can, but she stopped in the next second, and the paper ball did not leave her palm.

"What's the matter...it makes me look like a bad person..." Haruko Natsume spread out Yui's business card again, glanced at Yui who had disappeared on the road, and then Stuffing the crumpled note into his pocket, "Did I change my luck this year..."

Volume [-]#Yuyi's evil fate

Yui who was driving the car sighed. To be honest, she originally wanted to take Natsume Haruko around today.

Although this is not her original intention.

When Natsume Haruko didn't show up in the morning, Yui was just discussing Natsume Haruko's recent situation with her mother, and she also learned from her mother that Natsume Haruko was much gentler than before.

Her mother also told Yui that she actually felt very tired, taking care of Natsume Haruko's life while maintaining the family business.Although she has been here for so many years, she knows that she will leave Natsume Haruko one day.

Since Natsume Haruko began to treat mental illness, although she has become much gentler to others, she has gradually closed herself off. For a long time after that, Natsume Haruko has kept herself locked at home, watching alone Manga is playing games, and the only person she is willing to communicate with is her mother.

Natsume Haruko's mother also asked Natsume Haruko why she was like this and why she didn't go out to see more, but all she got was "If you go out, you will hurt others. If you go out, you will be fine."

This is indeed a solution, but as a mother, it is definitely impossible to watch her precious daughter alone all the time. She is sure that Natsume Haruko will overcome her mental illness one day, but she doesn't want her daughter to overcome her mental illness. After that, I can no longer enter the society.

For her, please ask Yui, saying that Yui, the person who has been with her through life and death, can take her daughter out more.Natsume Haruko's mother said that Yui and her personality are different, no matter how casually she gets along with Natsume Haruko, they can't bridge the gap between mother and daughter, but Yui is different, her The lazy personality is really suitable for taking others out for a walk.

No matter where you go, Natsume Haruko's mother hopes that her daughter can follow Yui and listen to Yui's stories about her youth and herself. Everyone hates her, but there will always be people who like her.

"...It's really troublesome..." Yui looked at herself in the rearview mirror, and suddenly stepped on the brakes. She had already promised Natsume Haruko's mother, otherwise she would not leave her contact information. To Natsume Haruko.

In fact, she was indeed a little angry just now, because Natsume Haruko was protecting Nanase Nami and said some bad things about Kimura Asuka and Nanako. She made that decision in order not to quarrel with her, but after she calmed down now, she thought about it, It was reasonable for Natsume Haruko to say that.

If someone suspected Kimura Asuka like that, Yui would also stand up and refute.

Yui glanced at the time, he left the coffee shop in less than 5 minutes, and Natsume Haruko should still be on her way to the station.Yui gritted her teeth and put the gear back on, turned the car around and drove back.

Just put Natsume Haruko back like this, although there is nothing to be sorry for her, but her mother will definitely blame herself for a long time afterwards...

There were more and more people on the road, and Yui worked hard to find Natsume Haruko.She is no longer in the coffee shop, and according to the description of the people in the shop, she is heading in this direction.

Fortunately, Natsume Haruko is very beautiful and has a different temperament from ordinary girls, Yui did not take much effort to find her.When Yui parked the car next to Natsume Haruko, she was startled. If the car window hadn't been rolled down so that Natsume Haruko could see Yui's face, Natsume Haruko might have just put the pepper spray in her bag Pulled out.

"...Get in the car." Yui pointed to the co-pilot's position, and said concisely to Natsume Haruko.

"Why?" Natsume Haruko frowned, her tone not very good.Don't look at her like this, in fact, it's just her pretending. After Yui gave her her contact information, she didn't hate this woman anymore. Now that Yui drove back to find her, Natsume Haruko actually still didn't like her. A little happy.

But she couldn't show it, she could only show that she didn't care much.She asked Yui what she wanted to do and went to pull Yui's car door. Before Yui could answer her, she had already sat in the co-pilot.

"Didn't you come up by yourself?" Yui said teasingly, she glanced at Natsume Haruko, started the car, "fasten your seat belt."

Yui was not driving in the direction of Natsume Haruko's house, and Natsume Haruko, who was sitting in the co-pilot, did not ask about the destination of the trip.

"My mother asked you to do this?" Natsume Haruko had actually guessed a little bit. Given her relationship with Yui, it was impossible for Yui to do this.

Yui didn't intend to hide it, and nodded.

"I knew it." Natsume Haruko turned her head to one side, looking at the scenery outside the window, "I didn't expect you to agree to her, getting along with me is obviously very troublesome, if you let Li Zixi and Nanako know that you do such a thing, they will definitely angry?"

"Then who knows, the two of them don't hold grudges, but as far as what you did before, it's certain that they don't want to see you." Yui shrugged her shoulders, what she said was the truth, "But it doesn't matter. It's my business to be with whom and what to do, and they don't care about it."

"They will be sad if they hear this." Natsume Haruko continued, with no expression on her face, "Speaking of which, Yui, how did you and my mother know each other? You actually agreed to her request."

"It seems that your mother didn't tell you anything..." Yui scratched her head, thinking of her experience when she was a bad girl, her brain hurts. There is always a scar on her collarbone. She explained to Kimura Asuka It was scratched by a cat when I was a child, but it was actually called by everyone, and the person who made this scar was Natsume Haruko's mother.

"That happened many years ago..." Yui recalled the past, picked out some things that could be said and began to tell Natsume Haruko, "Your mother was the chief bad girl in the school next door to us, and she was always Looking for someone to fight with a baseball bat, look at my scar here, it was hit by your mother's broken baseball bat."

As Yui spoke, she pulled down the neckline of her clothes so that Natsume Haruko could see the scar on her collarbone.Although she didn't expect her mother and Yui to have such a relationship, Natsume Haruko was not surprised by what Yui said, she still knew something about her mother's past.

"Speaking of which, you and your mother have similar personalities." Yui glanced at Natsume Haruko and continued, "I also don't want to trust others, and always feel that everyone hates me."

Volume [-] of #Ramen, Southies, and Baseball Bats

When Natsume Haruko's mother was a bad girl, it could be said that people blocked and killed Buddhas, and the more people there were, the more excited she was, even if she was the only one, she would shout and rush forward.

Not long after she entered high school, she became the "chief delinquent" of that school, but she was always alone at the top.At that time, Natsume had no friends. Although she didn't have a violent personality like her daughter, the things she did were enough to make others think she was scary.

No matter whether it was the bad or ordinary students who were knocked down by her, none of them wanted to associate with her.At that time, Natsume was synonymous with trouble, as long as she was around, there would always be disputes, because such a reputation grew bigger and bigger, and even those things that she didn't do made her take the blame in the end.

Natsume and Yui met for the first time in a ramen shop. The scarred Natsume met the same scarred Yui. Because they didn't know each other and exhausted too much energy, the two only wanted to eat a bowl of ramen.

Natsume and Yui ordered the same flavor of ramen, were also left-handed, and had the same baseball bat.

The two just glanced at each other until Yui ate the last mouthful of ramen and Natsume drank the last mouthful of soup. The boss accidentally knocked Yui's baseball bat down on Natsume's feet. Talent had the first communication.

"Are you learning from me?" Natsume asked her. She knew that she was very famous in this neighborhood. Although she was hated by others, she always felt that someone would worship her. When she saw Yui who was like her After the baseball bat and similar behavior habits, she thought Yui was imitating her because she admired her.

"Huh? Why?" Yui tilted her head and asked in displeasure, she pointed at Natsume's chest, "Why do you think so, aren't you imitating me?"

"What? Don't you bastard know who I am?" Natsume also pointed at Yui, and poked Yui's proud butt vigorously, "Are you mentally handicapped?"

"Are you going to fight?" Yui looked at the name tag on Natsume's school uniform, "Is it called Natsume? If you want to fight, I will accompany you!"

As the two of them were about to start, Yui had already picked up the baseball bat from the ground.But suddenly seeing the two of them, they were picked up by the neck and thrown to the side of the road.

"If you want to fight, go to another place. Fighting is not allowed in ramen shops." The owner of the ramen shop who threw them aside was a bald man in his 60s. He usually looked kind and friendly, but now he looked a little scary. .

At that time, Yui was just a bad guy who was disobedient in school and Natsume didn't join the gang, so they could only obediently follow the boss's instructions and go to duel elsewhere.

In fact, the strength of Natsume and Yui is not much different. Speaking of which, what skills are there for two high school girls to fight? It's nothing more than seeing whose evasion skills are better.And Yui loses here, it doesn't mean that she didn't dodge the baseball bat that came from Natsume, it's just that the two lumps of meat on her chest are really big, she dodged but the two lumps of flesh didn't. , took Natsume's sap solidly.

The feeling was painful and strange, and Yui couldn't stand up all of a sudden, but she refused to admit defeat, so Natsume had to ride on her and continue beating her.From dawn to dusk, the clothes became tattered, Natsume's nose was swollen, Yui's collarbone was broken, and the two people who were covered in dirt always exhausted all their strength.

Lying on the beach by the river, I was dressed roughly, and my whole body ached when I moved a little.

"You lost, you admit it." Natsume turned his head to look at Yui, who was still covering his chest with his hand, "You have been pressed and beaten by me."

"You're talking nonsense..." Yui shook his head, "If it wasn't for my figure, you would definitely not be able to hit me, ah, by the way, you would lose in terms of figure..."

"Really, maybe it feels good to get hit on the chest?" Natsume taunted her, and then burst out laughing, "You really don't know me?"

"Why should I know you..." Yui looked at the stars in the sky, "What kind of onion are you..."

"...You guys are quite interesting. I'm Natsume, the head of the school next door." Natsume introduced herself, and then asked Yui, "What's your name?"

"Beiyuan Yui...ah, so you are that Natsume, that bastard leader." Yui nodded, she was still wondering why Natsume was so good at fighting, "You should feel happy , you can have a [-]-[-] split with me..."

"It should be because you feel happy. You haven't begged for mercy after being held down by me." Natsume was also hurting Yui, and the two chatted like this.

Yui was just an ordinary villain at that time, she had her own small circle, so she didn't feel much about such chats.But Natsume is different. It is the first time for her who has been targeted by everyone and hated by others to lie down and chat with someone like this. Although she just met and only knows her name, Natsume also feels very happy.

"Will you hang out with me in the future?" Yui reached out and bumped Natsume, asking her.

"No, you are weaker than me, you should follow me." Natsume rejected her.

Just like this, Yui and Natsume chatted for a long time, until the owner of the ramen shop ran over and urged them to go home.

Yui told Natsume Haruko the story of when she and her mother first met in the car. When she told this, she suddenly understood why Natsume Haruko's mother would ask her to take care of her daughter.

Natsume Haruko's mother appeared at the darkest time in her life. She saved her because of that fight many years ago, so Natsume Haruko's mother felt that Yui could also save her daughter and let her escape from her own world. out.

Natsume Haruko listened very carefully all the time, and she even laughed. It was obvious that she found these stories very interesting, and her mother didn't tell her.

"Then did you decide the winner?" Natsume Haruko asked, she was more curious about this.

"No, the owner of the ramen shop invited us to dinner after that day, and told us that if we don't fight, we can get an egg and a bottle of drink for free every time we go to him." Yui smiled Recalling those days, they didn’t have a few dollars in their pockets, so drinks were really attractive to them, “I haven’t fought with your mother since then, and I haven’t had a chance to avenge my collarbone, but To be honest, I am better than your mother!"

"I always feel that the owner of the ramen shop is the most powerful." Natsume Haruko complained.

"You should have met the owner of that ramen shop." Yui turned her head and said to Natsume Haruko, if it wasn't for Natsume Haruko, she would have forgotten about it, "It's the shop you went to this morning, he is now He's the owner of that shop."

The first volume#whatever you call it, whatever you like

To be honest, everything that happened today was not what Yui expected. She didn't expect that Natsume Haruko's mother would ask her to take care of her daughter, and she didn't expect that she would take Natsume Haruko for a ride now.

This was something impossible to think of before. Ever since the incident between Li Zixi and Natsume Haruko ended, Yui hadn't even contacted Natsume Haruko's mother, nor had she ever thought of Natsume Haruko, but life is like this. Everything that happens to everyone has a cause and effect.

Nanase Nami, who appeared this time, once again connected these people together.

Because it was a completely unexpected situation, Yui didn't know where she was going with Natsume Haruko, she just drove aimlessly, and she turned the steering wheel in whichever direction there were fewer people.

After driving aimlessly for more than half an hour, Yui took Natsume Haruko to a village with few pedestrians. Although it was a village, it was not far from the urban area. There are only a few tall buildings missing.

Everything else is available, and the scenery is much better than in the urban area.In summer, the water in the small river becomes more turbulent, but it is not too deep. The stones and aquatic plants on the river bed can be seen clearly across the river bank. There are a few small fish swimming against the current.

The branches of the trees by the river were almost touching the river surface. Looking from here, you could still see the roofs of the tall buildings in the urban area.

Yui stopped the car slowly on the side of the road, she didn't intend to continue driving, anyway, she was just following Natsume's words to take her daughter to relax, so she could go anywhere, besides, Yui still cared about her gas money After all, it is impossible for Natsume to reimburse her for these.

"If you continue to drive in, I will probably think that you are planning to sell me." Natsume Haruko said this to Yui as soon as she got out of the car. She rarely comes to this kind of place , because it is a bit far away from home and there is no convenient means of transportation, if you want to come here, you will definitely not be able to go home on time, "Fortunately, Yui, you stopped."

Yui locked the car, and followed Natsume Haruko to a small bridge by the river. It seemed that the villagers here built the bridge spontaneously. Apart from the steel frame and cement as the foundation, the road supporting the bridge was all some wood.

Because of the age, the color of the wood has faded, and some places have even cracked, but Yui is not worried that the wood will be broken. The villagers will definitely choose good materials for their own lives.

What's more, the deepest part of this small river only reached her thigh, so even if she fell, there would be no danger.

Yui, who walked to Natsume Haruko, handed her a bottle of water, which had become warm water at this time because it had been kept in the car.

"I've been thinking about it not long ago." Yui was not dissatisfied with Natsume Haruko's words. Anyone can know that Natsume Haruko was just a joke, but Yui still had some confusion on her face, "Although your mother A little older than me, but you can't call me by my name directly, can you?"

"...Is this what you care about?" Natsume Haruko took the water that Yui handed her, "Then what do you want me to call you? Is it Miss Beiyuan or Sister Yui?"

Both of these titles are actually fine, but either one makes Yui sound weird.Few people would call her by her surname in life, at least in the past two years. Whether it is Kimura Asuka or Nanako, even Miss Golden Retriever, she always calls her "Yui".

And the name "Sister Yui" made Yui feel a little disgusted for some reason, especially when Natsume Haruko said it in a hypocritical voice, Yui only made a decision after thinking about it for a while, let Natsume Haruko follow Call herself whatever she likes.

"...you should just call me 'Yui', it's really uncomfortable to add the word 'elder sister' after it." Yui sighed, and she took the lead to walk up the wood Bridge, looking at the river flowing from a distance, "Compared to even if you call me 'sister', you will not be happy."

"It's true." Natsume Haruko also walked onto the wooden bridge, but she didn't get too close to Yui, she just stood where the bridge meets the river bank, "This place is quite beautiful."

"Yeah...it's pretty good-looking." Yui followed Natsume Haruko's words. What topic can she say she didn't think of? Yui felt that the current situation was a bit embarrassing. The relationship is actually not enough for them to completely relax and communicate.

Natsume Haruko and Yui have the same feeling. What happened today is beyond her expectations. She originally thought about getting up in the morning to drink some water and continue to sleep. After sleeping until noon, she would have a casual meal and play games with Nanase Nami , spent the day in a daze.

Anyway, she was grounded and couldn't go anywhere.

"About the incident that I sneaked out at night..." Natsume Haruko still looked at the river in front of her, and after a long silence, she took the initiative to speak, "I'm very grateful that you didn't tell my mother."

"Ah, that's really nothing. I know your mother's temper. If I tell her, you will probably die very badly." Yui thought about what Haruko Natsume's mother might do, and her expression became a little bit Fortunately, the woman was indiscriminate when she got angry, maybe she had to clean up with Yui, "But it's quite surprising to meet you at the ramen shop at such a late hour, how did you come out from home? "

"Over the wall." Natsume Haruko didn't want to hide anything, and told Yui directly.

"Nami Nanase taught you?" Yui looked at Natsume Haruko, this kind of guy who has been a young lady since he was a child will definitely not have experience in climbing walls.

"Yeah." Natsume Haruko nodded, she turned her head, and met Yui's eyes for the first time, "It's quite fun."

"If you fall down one day, you won't find it fun." Yui sighed. She knew what it felt like to fall off the wall. How could the verbal "foot restraint" stop Yui? For her, she tried to go out through the window on the second floor after her parents were asleep.

It was successful the previous few times, but when she turned over the window again, she was startled by a wild cat lying on the eaves, slipped and fell directly from the second floor, fortunately there was a thick lawn on the ground. Not life-threatening, but it's true that she's been in a wheelchair for over two months since that day.

Not only was she scolded, but her room was changed from the second floor to the first floor. In order to prevent Yui from jumping out of the window to play again, her mother even locked the first-class window... .

Volume [-] #shallow water bomb

"Speaking of which, Yui, why are you still in the ramen shop so late?" This time it was Natsume Haruko's turn to ask the question, just like she had appeared in the ramen shop so late, and Yui came out of the ramen shop alone at that time. Very strange, "Won't you be angry when you go back to Asuka at that time?"

When talking about this matter, Yui has a big head. Ever since he and Iori Kyoko lived in a beach house for a few days, Kimura Asuka and Iori Kyoko have become very good friends.

And because Iori Kyoko knows how to cook and has recently become obsessed with pastry, Kimura Asuka and Iori Kyoko are always exchanging experiences with each other. Asuka sent out the door and asked her to send the pastries she had just baked for Iori Kyoko and the others to taste.

Although Yui didn't want to go at all, Iori Kyoko lived far away from their home, and Yui was really tired, but she couldn't stand Kimura Asuka's hard work, and finally ran out of the house with a bag in Yui At that time, Asuka Kimura was still holding the rolling pin in her hand.

After running such a long distance and Iori Kyoko chatting with her for a while, when Yui returned, it was already the early morning of the next day. She thought she would go to bed early that day. It was already past 12 o'clock in the morning and Yui, who hadn't fallen asleep, was already hungry with her chest stuck to her back.

So she went to the ramen shop that opened late at night, and there she met Haruko Natsume and Nami Nanase.

Yui patiently told this story to Natsume Haruko, and the more she said it, the more she felt a headache. Speaking of which, if Asuka Kimura hadn't insisted on her sending the cakes to Iori Kyoko that day, she would never have met these two people. Today She won't be here anymore.

But looking at Natsume Haruko like this now, Yui couldn't figure out whether it was good or bad for a while.
