At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

"What you're doing will only make me more concerned, make me feel worse, and affect my mood."

He shook his head.

“Every step forward in any relationship creates a butterfly effect, and you are no longer in my home.”

moan and groan.

I've always been honest with my conflicted self.

My mood plummeted after being messed with by the landmine girl.

Muttering to himself, he remained silent, put in some eye drops, and tried to convince himself that an hour had passed and that he had forgotten everything that had happened.

And at this moment,

A soft sound, like a cat scratching at a door, was heard three times.

……

……

Chapter Seven: Invitation to Live Together

"What...what are you doing?"

The clenched heart seemed to have escaped its grip.

The suffocating feeling finally dissipated at this moment.

Looking at the girl who was crouching by the door like a kitten, leaning against the wall,

Su Che's expression was unclear.

I was puzzled, and at the same time, I felt that the scene in front of me was not real.

"...I...went downstairs to buy some food, thinking I'd cook you a meal to repay you...but then I realized I didn't have my keys..."

The girl pursed her lips, looking pitiful.

He turned around and stood up with his head down, interlacing his fingers in front of him, with the tips of his fingers hooking a convenience bag full of vegetables.

"...How long have you been waiting?"

Su Che finally understood that the sound just now was made by her scratching with her cherry blossom nail polish.

It's quite distinctive.

"Not long after... I sat by the flower bed downstairs for three hours... and when I saw you go upstairs, I followed you up."

"..."

[No different from a cat.]

Su Che suppressed his emotions and remained calm.

"So, could you give me a key?"

Before I could even speak, I heard his innocent words.

"...?"

Su Che admitted,

The girl is very cute.

The words they spoke were naturally indistinguishable from each other's.

but why,

The words sound like,

It implies that they want to stay in their home and don't plan to leave...?

"Didn't we agree that I would only stay for one night and then leave?"

I accidentally blurted out my thoughts.

"Ah...did I...did I say that...?"

The girl's face fell upon hearing this.

I feel like something is already swirling in my eyes.

Su Che's lips twitched, but he maintained a stern expression.

“It seems I haven’t said that. But you need to explain your situation to me first so I can determine whether your request is appropriate.”

"Okay, then ask away... and I'll answer."

The girl stood outside the door with her shoulders hunched, holding something, like an innocent child awaiting judgment.

"..."

Su Che himself was finding it hard to be ruthless. After a fierce internal struggle, he finally turned slightly to the side and spoke in as cold a tone as possible:

"Come inside, sit down and let's talk."

"it is good."

-

……

Approved

She returned to the warm space once again.

"What's your name?"

"An Qing."

"An Qing?"

The auditory system picks up keywords, and someone's DNA subtly moves.

His expression, however, became even colder:

"Sunny on a sunny day?"

"Uh-huh."

The girl nodded obediently.

"How old are you?"

"19."

Where do you live?

"A neighborhood not far from here."

Why don't you go home?

"The lease is about to expire..."

She twisted her fingers, her gaze shifting away.

"Trying to freeload off me?"

Su Che's expression turned cold, and he suddenly became alert.

"No, no! I... I'll help you clean the house! I can do a lot of things! I can provide you with emotional support! I can help you! Please don't send me away...! I..."

The girl was clearly flustered, after all, Su Che's vigilance was almost at its maximum, no less than that of a cactus.

"Stop."

He raised his hand, making a stop gesture.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, Su Che did not believe he had the ability to support someone at home.

[I can't even afford to keep a cat, why would I want to keep a landmine girl?]

As an ultimate cat lover,

Almost all of Su Che's treasured Galgames are catgirl-themed.

This young man, who loves cats and lives alone, still hasn't mustered the courage to adopt the Ragdoll cat he's been longing for.

Patiently wait for it to transform into a human.

Because I know in my heart that "companionship" and "care" are different.

It is something that even we ourselves lack most.

"... "

Seeing his expression, the girl became even more depressed.

"Okay, first tell me, where are your parents? Doesn't anyone take care of you?"

Su Che turned his gaze back to her, trying to find more flaws in her reaction to convince himself.

He observed her.

I observed her as she secretly touched up her makeup.

To be fair...

An Qing doesn't give off the feeling of a real landmine woman.

Landmine women are often dark, obsessive, and have a vicious personality, like explosives.

Even worse, some people disregard morality and ethics.

His actions are unpredictable, and his values ​​are distorted.

An Qing not only doesn't seem aggressive, but she also takes the initiative to tidy up her room and even knows how to buy ingredients and cook, trying to repay me.

Are there really such landmine-like women?

Su Che frowned, feeling that based on his understanding of the field, it was still necessary to verify the facts.

“My parents live in another city, and I’m all alone here.”

"Aren't you in school?"
