Chapter 579 Isn’t an Apprentice a Handyman?
Can feel the warmth of the sun and feel surrounded by the fresh morning air.

I pinched my arm hard, and I could feel a clear pain.

That's right—

"...this is happiness."

In the quiet morning, in front of the window of his room, Asakami Fujino grasped the forearm of his left hand with his right hand, sighed softly, and then closed his eyes in satisfaction.

It was a dream-like expression.

This is a relatively simple room, and the specific address is still on the fourth floor of Jialantang Office.After all, it is a commercial building. Even if it is an abandoned semi-finished product, the initial design direction is based on the standard of a commercial building.

Therefore, the office's floor area and internal space are quite large, at least the standard treatment conditions such as staff board and lodging can be guaranteed, and Asakami Fujino is enjoying such treatment.

Although the conditions are of course far inferior to the good life in Asakami's family, she feels that this is the happiest time in her life for so many years.

Feel the morning air, feel the real sense of being alive.

It's just the fresh sunshine that illuminates the darkness in my heart.

I still remember that a long time ago, when I was young, I cut my palm while playing house.

Something borrowed, something fake, something fake.

——For some reason, an authentic product was mixed among those small cooking props, and the little girl who was playing with the delicate knife in her hand also cut a deep wound between her fingers at some point.

With her palms all red, she returned to her mother.

In memory, the mother first scolded her, then cried, and finally hugged her daughter tenderly.

"It hurts, right? Fujino, it won't hurt anymore after the injury is cured..."

The young mother said this while wrapping her daughter in a white bandage.

But she didn't know that the reason why the young girl was crying was because of the joy of being hugged by her mother, but she couldn't understand what her mother said at all.

She did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

Because she never felt pain even once.

……

……

Just as Asakami Fujino opened the door and walked lightly out to the corridor outside, the door of the next room also opened.

Aozaki Chengzi yawned, and walked out sleepily, her footsteps were still a little shaky——

"Good morning, Fujino, I woke up so early."

"Gui'an, director Canozaki."

Asakami Fujino said softly, her movements, demeanor, expression and tone all reflect the cultivation of a young lady.

"You can just call me Cheng Zi, you don't need to be so polite... But having said that, although it's a bit of an afterthought to mention this matter now, is it really okay?"

Aoqi Chengzi stretched vigorously, showing off her beautiful figure, but she still looked unmotivated.She squinted at the girl who was yawning, and said so.

"What... mean?" Asakami Fujino seemed a little puzzled.

There was a kind of deep smile on Aoqi Chengzi's face, and she said pointedly: "I mean, you are the eldest lady of the Asakami family, and you made such a hasty decision to stay with me, don't you think so?" Don't you need the consent of the family?"

"..."

"..."

There was a natural silence.

"No problem, Miss Orange. I'm just a child brought by my mother when she remarried. All my father needs is the mother and the family estate."

The young lady had a standard young lady's smile on her face, as impeccable as yesterday, but the emotions contained in it seemed much more real.

"I'm afraid my father has already known about my continuous absence during this period. I have no place to go back to. I haven't even been to school once this week..."

She said in a very humble tone, she was obviously talking about such a thing, but she didn't have any emotional ups and downs.On the contrary, it seemed that she had already figured out something, which had a sense of relief.

Ahh, it was just an accessory from the beginning, so I did my best just not to be hated.

In order to be a virtuous woman like her mother, to be a top student praised by her father, to be an ordinary child who is not suspected by anyone...

Not for anyone else, but for the dream that I longed for and guarded.

But it's over now.

She can feel the pain now, and it will continue to hurt as long as the physical injury is still there.What a strong, sure proof of existence that was.

Asakami Fujino likes that feeling called pain.Because for her who has no feeling of being alive, there is nothing else that can make her know the fact that "I am still alive".

——as she has been every day so far.

"That's right, to be honest, it's not that I can't understand..."

Cang Qi Cheng Zi quietly listened to the girl's narration, she didn't say anything more, just sighed softly.

"Anyway, as long as it doesn't cause trouble, then you can do whatever you want. I just hope that you won't regret entering this world on your own initiative in the future."

After all, she herself is the type to sever contact with her family for some reason, and she still feels that this decision she made is the most correct in her life.

So in this matter, she is naturally more able to understand the other party's behavior and thinking, so after confirming Asakami Fujino's determination, she no longer expresses any opinions. She has no reason to persuade and stop the other party.

——Maybe it is true that there are always people who will stand and talk without back pain, and always feel that persuading others to go back to suffering in the dire environment is the behavior that can reflect their noble character, but Aoqi Chengzi is not that kind of brain damage.

In fact, if the original fate develops according to the original fate, Asakami Fujino's stepfather will take advantage of that opportunity later and ask Jia Lantang and others to directly kill Asakami Fujino himself.

In this way, he can not only preserve the reputation of himself and his family, but also take the opportunity to eradicate Asakami Fujino, who is not his own daughter, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?

Therefore, Asakami Fujino just shook his head and said very subtly: "I won't regret it, Miss Chengzi."

Then she seemed to think of something, "But can you tell me first, what is my daily work in the office?"

Although she doesn't regret the decision she made, it was always impulsive, and she now realizes that she doesn't seem to have the corresponding employment skills.

In name, Jialantang is a firm in a normal society. On the surface, even the director is mainly engaged in the industry of architectural designers, but this is only the surface.

Aozaki Chengzi mainly studies dolls, and at the same time, as a magician, she will also get involved in the field of the dark world more or less.

And besides other things, Asakami Fujino has no reason to master the relevant skills just for the superficial architectural design!Liyuan Women's College is an aristocratic college, no matter whether it is elective or compulsory subjects, there is no content about the construction industry.

She was suddenly worried that she would not be qualified for the next job, so she wanted to see what the arrangement was.

"..."

"..."

"Well, to be honest, you are not a magician of orthodox background. You don't know many things, and you haven't studied them systematically. This is indeed a bit difficult."

Faced with this problem, the woman who was the director of the firm just shrugged irresponsibly, saying that she didn't have any particularly good ideas for the time being.

"It's a bit taken for granted if you start learning from scratch. The best way is to use your strengths as much as possible... But you should talk to that guy about this matter. He has a deeper understanding of the magic eye than I do. .”

"...the magic eye?"

As if subconsciously, Asakami Fujino stretched out a slender white palm, and gently pressed it on his eyes.

"Yes, in this regard, you can indeed ask him for advice...Magicians are talented, and your eyes are your talent. You must first master your abilities before talking about other things." Aoqi Chengzi turned and walked forward Go, as if casually said.

"Well, I understand...but, but—I mean at this moment, Mu Xiu...is Mr. Mu Xiu up?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, followed, and said so.

"There's no need to use such a serious honorific address, that guy is nothing... Tsk, you can do whatever you want."

Aozaki Touko waved her hands, then rubbed her eyes as if she was sleepy.

"As for whether he got up or not, I don't know. After all, he doesn't live in the office... It's just that he usually has come over at this time."

Asakami Fujino didn't speak, just nodded slightly, because this topic is indeed a bit troublesome.

That person does look too young on the surface, and it feels inappropriate to call him anything, and for the young lady Asakami Fujino, it is too rude to call her by her first name. come out……

"But can you face him alone with your current state of mind, after all, such... embarrassing things happened before?"

Seeing the door of the living room appearing at the end of the front corridor, Aoqi Chengzi slowed down slightly, and asked a question without looking back.

"..."

"..."

"Didn't I say it? It's all just a misunderstanding, that... I, that..."

After a period of unspeakable silence, the girl behind her turned her head in a panic. She tried her best to pretend to be calm, but her words were not very convincing.

Cheng Zi felt a little funny and helpless, sighed and shook his head.

She didn't say anything else, just walked to the door and stretched out her hand to hold the doorknob, twisted it gently, and found that the lock that was locked before going to bed last night had now been opened.

Pushing open the door, the two of them entered the living room one after the other. The first thing they saw was the unchanging messy scene, and the bad habits of the older single female youth's life were clearly evident.

"Mu Xiujun, good morning, you came early today too..." The orange magician frowned first, and then complained as a matter of course: "But don't you know how to tidy up the living room when you have time? It's too messy!"

"Miss Aozaki...well, and Miss Asakami, good morning."

Mu Xiu, who was gazing at the scenery from the window, turned his head, and responded with a customary greeting, and then couldn't help raising his eyebrows after seeing Asakami Fujino, as if he felt a little surprised.

It's just that he didn't say anything, he just lowered his head to look at the messy scene in the living room, and the corner of his mouth twitched——

"But I'm really sorry for the mess here, because before I thought this kind of place was in your territory, Ms. Aozaki, I'm really sorry for the lack of sense of ownership at all..."

That's right, this is not his place, why should he clean it up? !
And this request is a bit too inexplicable, what kind of thinking circuit does she have to be able to say such things as a matter of course?

"Aren't you an apprentice of Jialantang? Then of course you are here to do odd jobs." Aoqi Chengzi stared at him dissatisfied, "And it's too rude to say "this kind of place". where you work. "

"Hey, did the apprentices of Jialantang come to do odd jobs, so is it still too late for me to quit this firm?" Mu Xiu expressed his surprise at this.

"Okay, cut off a finger yourself." Aoqi Chengzi waved his hand quite grandly, but the words he said had the demeanor of a gangster.

"Pfft..." Asakami Fujino, who was standing quietly next to him, finally couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.
