After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

It's not quite right to say that she is a specially hired domestic nanny. After all, Shiina doesn't ask for anything in return. It seems that she just enjoys the feeling of "taking care of a loser". This is exactly the same as before and has not changed at all.

But now it seems that it is getting worse? It has evolved into making breakfast for him early in the morning... Is it possible that Shiina will take care of all three meals from now on?

There is a feeling of being kept by a beautiful girl...

"Really, Zou, how can you not pay attention to eating breakfast? You will get stomach problems if you keep doing this!" The angel scolded Natsukawa Zou while cleaning up the mess in the kitchen.

"And the hygiene situation too. I haven't been here for just a few days and it's already become like this. I didn't even notice yesterday that the kitchen has become so dirty. The same goes for the living room. Don't always throw clothes on the sofa. Wash them thoroughly after you've worn them. And, and..."

Listening to the Angel's complaints, Xia Chuanzou didn't dare to refute a word.

Originally, he was able to maintain good hygiene, but he was distracted by various things in the past few days and couldn't even sleep well, let alone eat well and tidy up the room.

The only time I had a good night's sleep was last night, and I had such a dream...

"Did you hear that? Why do you seem absent-minded?" The angel frowned.

"No, no! I'm listening carefully!" Xia Chuan Zou quickly shook his head in rebuttal.

"Okay, then you start cleaning now, and I'll go buy some ingredients."

"How can this be? Let me go." Xia Chuan Zou quickly stopped the other party.

What a joke! It's outrageous to ask a guest to cook breakfast for the host so early in the morning, but he has to go out of his way to buy ingredients? It's really unacceptable!

"Well...then you go, I'll stay and clean up." The angel thought about it and didn't refuse, then began to urge Xia Chuan to play.

"Don't delay any longer, go quickly and be careful on the road."

"……it is good."

You'll die if you do this so many times a day.jpg

046. Oh, Onii-chan?!

Compared to the place where I used to live, breakfast in Neon can be said to be very monotonous.

For an established family, if there is a hardworking wife who manages the household, there may be a chance to enjoy a heartwarming meal of hot white rice and miso soup in the morning, accompanied by thick omelette, plums and other vinegared foods as side dishes.

But in most cases, whether you are a corporate slave or a student, the most suitable things are still bread and milk.

How does that saying go? --Youthful days are incomplete if you don't bump into a girl on the corner with a piece of bread in your mouth.

Although it is a famous scene that has been used too much, everyone still seems to like it. Ultimately, it is because Japanese people do not have the habit of eating a proper breakfast, but they have the delusion of encountering a beautiful girl while holding a piece of bread in their mouths as usual.

When he first came to this world, Natsukawa Kanade was not very adaptable. Later, he slowly got used to it. However, he regretted it after getting used to it - because he found a food store that specializes in breakfast.

If you want to explore its importance, it can be summarized in one sentence - its boss is an authentic Chinese.

It's not that it's rare to see people from your hometown in Neon. In fact, there are a lot of Chinese who have immigrated here. It's just that most of them gather in Yokohama's Chinatown, and few live alone outside of there.

However, this boss did the opposite and opened a "non-Japanese traditional" breakfast shop in the port area which is almost entirely populated by locals. Because of his exquisite craftsmanship, he launched a dimensionality reduction attack on the surrounding food stores that provide breakfast, and snatched away the local morning market in one fell swoop.

The queue in front of the door almost never stops and basically lasts until noon. Fortunately, today is the weekend and there are fewer people in the queue, so Natsukawa Zou can finally taste the delicious food of the past again.

"Boss, 5 meat buns, 5 servings of siu mai, and 2 servings of soy milk."

The meat buns in this store are actually very big and not expensive. In fact, Natsukawa Kanade himself would be full after eating 3 at most, but considering that the angel was present, he bought some more.

Even if you can’t finish it, you can use it as a snack.

"Oh, it's Xiaozou, welcome, welcome, you haven't been here for a long time."

"Because I've been very busy with studies lately." Xiachuan Zou responded with a smile.

Of course he communicated with his boss in Chinese. It was something ingrained in his bones and he would never forget it even if he didn't use it for a long time. He would never miss the opportunity to use it.

"Hey, how can you be too busy studying to have time for a meal?" The boss waved his hand, clearly not believing it. "You are too honest a kid. You hate wasting time queuing. If it were me, you would just come here casually every morning, grab your breakfast and leave. You can pay whenever you want."

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land naturally made the boss feel at home, but what made him even happier was meeting a high school student who loved Chinese culture so much in a foreign land, especially since the other party was proficient in Chinese. Not only did he speak Mandarin better than him, but he could also quote from classics fluently, which showed that he was a pure lover of Chinese culture.

He must take great care of such a good child!

"That won't work. You have to do business too. If I do this, it will disrupt order and affect your reputation." Xia Chuan Zou shook his head and refused.

Little did he know that the boss had misunderstood him. He just thought that the other person had a generous personality and would become warm and generous when meeting someone of the same kind, such as him who liked to communicate in Chinese.

"What are you afraid of? If anyone dares to say that to you, I won't sell anything to him!" The boss said in a hateful tone. This is what the so-called exclusive supplier is like, because they dare to do whatever they want because they have the confidence.

"Haha, thank you Uncle Li, I appreciate your kindness."

After taking the breakfast and paying the bill and exchanging a few pleasantries, Natsukawa Zou said goodbye and left.

Be enthusiastic, but don't take other people's kindness for granted. Natsukawa Sou never thinks that he is special or needs others to treat him preferentially. If he really has this idea, it must be that he has treated the other party preferentially first and then sought an equal exchange.

Especially in Neon, this idea has almost become his code of conduct.

If he keeps agreeing to other people's requests without asking for anything in return from the very beginning, he will just be regarded as an "easy bully". At that time, let alone being treated normally, it would be considered that he has good popularity if he is not bullied by the whole school.

If one wants to survive normally here, the so-called fighting ability, good looks, and super abilities are not the most important. Only by understanding the "atmosphere" and making appropriate judgments can he have a worry-free journey. Otherwise, even if she is as noble as the emperor's daughter, she will be severely tortured.

……

After buying breakfast and replenishing some ingredients, Natsukawa Zou walked straight home. However, as he was walking, his attention was suddenly attracted by a golden figure.

It's not entirely gold. The other person was actually wearing a green thick coat and dark blue jeans, with a brown baseball cap on his head, looking sneaky and like a thief.

What exposed her identity was the iconic little canine teeth and the golden hair fluttering in the wind hidden under the brim of her hat - Eriri.

Xiachuan Zou had seen this strange outfit before, so she recognized it quickly.

At this moment, Miss Eriri had an expression of "I am very suspicious" as she wandered back and forth in front of a bookstore, looking around but never stepping into it.

Xiachuan Kanade paused for a while, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward and said hello:

"Eri, what are you doing here?"

"Ah!!!" Like a frightened kitten whose tail was stepped on, Eriri's fur instantly stood up and she took several steps back. She only breathed a sigh of relief after she saw that the person coming was Natsukawa Kanade.

"Stupid Zou, you scared me to death!" She even used her usual coquettish tone without realizing it.

Xia Chuan Kanade didn't care and continued, "I was just saying hello normally. It was strange that you were sneaking around and didn't pay attention to your surroundings."

"What are you doing here? I remember you never getting up at this time normally."

"It's all mom's fault. She had to wake me up and ask me to come buy things." Ying Lili pouted, looking reluctant. If she didn't know that her mother was really busy, she would never agree to run errands for her.

"Buying something?" Xia Chuanzou raised his head, glanced at the bookstore, and took a quick look at the interior decoration. He was silent for a while, then asked, "Are you buying a book?"

"Yes, yes, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go in..." Ying Lili nodded, feeling a little embarrassed.

She didn't feel shy to admit in front of a boy that she was going to buy a book. After all, the other party was Zou, and he knew her well. He felt embarrassed mainly for another reason - as a minor, it was illegal to buy 18-rated books in Japan.

Having said that, there's actually no problem with drawing it yourself, and Eriri has always thought so.

But as a book artist, no matter how good her drawing skills are, she can't imagine any plot and content out of thin air. She can only rely on constantly absorbing other people's book knowledge to enrich herself. In the past, she asked her mother to buy books for her to study, but she didn't expect that the opposite would happen today.

Damn it, if her mom hadn’t threatened her, “I won’t buy notebooks for you anymore in the future,” she wouldn’t have given in so easily!

But soon, Eriri's eyes lit up, and she felt that she had found a good idea, so she said to Natsukawa Kanade: "Oh, since I can't do it, let Kanade help me! Go in and buy the notebook for me!"

"..." Xia Chuan Kan was silent for a while, then pointed at his face, "Do you think I look like I'm 18 years old?"

"Zhi, at least you look more like him than me, right?" Ying Lili also felt that her request was a bit excessive and touched her head embarrassedly.

"Please be a little more considerate of me. If I'm exposed, I'll be caught, right?" Xia Chuan Zou sighed.

Although he himself didn't know how he would be punished if he was caught, at least it would definitely not be good for his reputation - "Shocking, the student council president of a famous high school actually did such a criminal thing!" If similar remarks were spread...

Life is going to explode! I can’t accept it just thinking about it!

"Then what should I do? I can't just try my luck, right?" Eriri pulled on the corner of Natsukawa Kanade's clothes and asked pitifully, "Or should I just forget it..."

Although she didn't think that stupid mother would really ignore her in the future, but what if? She didn't want to bet on the future of "Teacher Kashiwagi Eri"!

"..." Xia Chuan Zou frowned, finding it difficult to make a decision.

Honestly speaking, he should have advised the other party to give up in this situation. It wasn't like a high school boy who said, "I can't survive without the notebook!" There was really no need for him to risk his life to fight. But looking at Eriri, it seemed like there was something else going on...

"How about this, I'll pretend to be your brother and go in with you, and you can just choose what you want. It's best if you look confident. Then, hand the book to me in front of the clerk at the counter, and I'll pay for it."

He would be a little scared if he went in alone, but it would be much better if he accompanied Eriri in.

As long as he behaves better, he can create an image of "a brother who accompanies his sister to buy 18+ books" for the clerk. Even though it sounds weird, at least he can fool the clerk.

It’s a good thing that Japan doesn’t have such a thing as an “identity card”, otherwise it would be exposed if you just asked.

"Brother, brother?!" Ying Lili widened her eyes.

"Don't you want to?"

"No, no... No, there's nothing I can do! Brother, just call me brother! If I can buy the notebook..." Eriri waved her hands quickly and replied haltingly.

At this moment, her heart seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and her thoughts had long since drifted away -

Brother! Zou is my brother! Hehe, if we round it off, we are childhood sweethearts who grew up together! Winner!

047. Small ones are also very cute!

"Kou, is that clerk peeking at me? He might have been discovered..." Eriri pulled on the corner of Natsukawa Kanade's clothes, her tone a little nervous.

The other little hand was clenched into a fist and placed against her chest, as if this could make her feel more at ease.

"Don't be suspicious, it's just your illusion." Xia Chuanzo comforted him, then looked back and happened to meet the eyes of the young clerk. Then he saw the other party quickly turned his head away and didn't look over here again.

"...At most he thinks your outfit is suspicious?" His tone was a little hesitant. The clerk's actions were indeed a little strange, but it didn't seem like he was looking at Eriri. It felt like he was...looking at him?

Could it be that he looks even younger than Eriri?

"Is my dress okay? I think it's quite normal." Ying Lili lowered her head, looked at herself, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

"If you watch romance dramas often, you will find that you are actually dressed like a private detective now." Xiachuan Kanade explained in a low voice.

In fact, this kind of dress can only be seen in romance dramas, and most professional detectives wear casual clothes when they go out. How can they dress up in a strange way? Are they worried that they are not exposing themselves fast enough?

"Okay, stop wasting time and go find the book you want. I feel like everyone is looking over here."

The bookstore here seems to be quite famous. Early in the morning, many people dressed like otakus came out in pain clothes, choosing their favorite "trophies" one by one. However, they all came alone. There was no one like Natsukawa Kanade who came in pairs, not to mention that one of them was a cute girl.

All I can say is that if looks could kill, he would have been riddled with holes by now.

"Ah."

Eriri also looked around and found that just as Natsukawa Kanade said, some passers-by were already casting glances at her.

In other people's eyes, do she and Kanade look like a couple? You have good taste, everyone!

So her pretty face flushed and she hid on the other side of Xiachuan Zou, using his body to slightly block his view.

"Not this, nor this... I found it!" After flipping through it for a while, Ying Lili soon found the purpose of this trip - the book her mother wanted.

As a comic book artist, Eriri is just an ordinary fan of humiliation. She only sees and draws stories about men and women. But her mother is different. She is a complete fujoshi who loves to read the forbidden love series.

"Found it? Let me see..." Xia Chuanzou subconsciously turned his head to look.

"No!" Ying Lili quickly hid the notebook and refused to let him see it no matter what.

Forget about the others, but this series must not be allowed to be seen by Zou! Otherwise, what if he accidentally goes astray? Absolutely not!

Xiachuan Zou didn't care. If he didn't want to see it, then he didn't want to see it, so he started to read it himself.

Now that I'm here, it's not too much for me to pick one book, right?

If it was in front of other girls, he would still pay attention to his image, but he and Eriri are "comrades-in-arms", so there is nothing wrong with just choosing books together, or even just reading them together, right?

After flipping through the pages for a while, I was immediately attracted by a cover - a blonde girl with a kind heart was praying with her hands, and her soft hair was stained with a little crystal liquid...

Natsukawa Kanade reacted immediately.

He remembered the dream he had in the morning. The angel in the dream seemed to have done the same thing...

Eriri came over and found that Natsukawa Kanade was staring at the notebook in front of him, so she also took a look.

Blonde, slim, hair as long as hers... this is definitely her!

Eriri's pretty face flushed red. She felt as if she had traveled into a book and became the protagonist on the cover. Standing in front of her was Kanade with a smirk on his face, who said to her rudely, "Swallow it..."

Ahhhhh! I’m going to die!
