I will never give in to Miss Death

Yin Xiamo said proudly: "I should have taken away someone's first kiss while she was unconscious in that rental house. Now I need to come up with all kinds of reasons to kiss her. It's so troublesome."

Hey……

Why do you make me sound like...a girl who lies down and can kiss and act as she pleases after her first kiss was taken away?

"Be serious, I'm still working."

I quickly finished my meal and took a crispy shark from the snack box and put it in my skirt pocket on the way out. "Where are Jiang Wei and the others on the first floor?"

Yesterday, Elodie was in charge of looking after the customers and making milk tea on the second floor. She cleared out almost all the snacks in several snack boxes.

All the spicy strips, konjac noodles, small fish...anything spicy, are gone, leaving only the quick-filling foods like Crunchy Shark compressed dry food.

I always feel that if this continues, Ouyang Xue will suffer a loss.

Hiring Elodie as a maid every month costs one or two thousand just for snacks.

"It's at the entrance on the first floor, next to the tree stump table on the left."

In the staff lounge, Yin Xiamo explained, "I originally wanted to let them come in and sit down, but the two said they wanted to see the scenery outside first."

Well, this does fit with Marisa's "Iron Butt" personality.

"..."

After simply cleaning up my plate and going downstairs, I pushed open the door of the coffee shop and found Jiang Wei and his girlfriend sitting at the tree stump table outside.

"Why are you two sitting outside?"

I maintained my usual image in the coffee shop—standing with my legs together and feet slightly turned inwards, and waved to Jiang Wei on the tree stump: "There is free drinking water and plum juice in the store!"

Jiang Wei still looks the same as I remember him, wearing a shirt and jeans that perfectly suits his uncle temperament, and has a very "science and engineering guy" flat hairstyle. When he sits in any computer store, he can give people the feeling of "Master, what kind of job do you do?"

As for the girl next to him... my first impression of her appearance was that she was sweet, with a small round face, two dimples, and a small ponytail. She was dressed very simply and plainly, and her clothes had obviously been washed many times. Her skin was not as delicate as that of a little princess in the upper class, but it was not too bad either. She should be the kind of girl who loves cleanliness, and is ordinary and simple.

How should I put it, it has the flavor of "first love" in the movies of the 1990s.

The two of them sitting together, the science and engineering uncle on the left and the virtuous wife on the right, are indeed a good match.

“I’m old now and prefer a quiet environment.”

Seeing me, Jiang Wei showed a slightly happy expression. He gestured to the anchors in the store and the family of three in the corner where the parents brought their children to play. "Besides, isn't it usually better to talk about things in a quiet environment?"

At Jiang Wei's signal, I saw the anchor holding up his phone and speaking into the microphone, "It is said that now you can exchange secret signals with children by singing Lone Brave. We also saw a five or six-year-old child at the coffee shop. Let me go and try it out to see if it's true." Then he walked towards the child who was looking at the cat and said, "Love you walking alone in the dark alley?"

The child immediately raised his head: "Love the way you don't kneel?"

Then the two of them sang together: "I love you, I have faced despair but I have never cried. Are you going? Let's go..."

For a moment, the area around the coffee shop was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"You don't have to come directly if you're planning a wedding."

Turning my gaze back from the coffee shop, I looked at the girl next to Jiang Wei: "What's your name?"

"Ye Zi."

The girl stood up from the wooden block, then found that she was more than a head taller than me. She seemed a little embarrassed and sat down again: "Leaf for leaf, Purple for purple."

"Oh, Sister Ye Zi."

I nodded: "My name is Yin Nuoer, Nuo means promise."

"know."

Ye Zi smiled: "Brother Jiang has mentioned you a lot these days, saying that you used a voice changer to deceive them for so many years, and no one found out."

"what……"

I was a little embarrassed: "These are all things of the past."

"I'm not here today mainly to book a wedding, I also want to experience the internet-famous coffee shop that has been trending on the hot search list these days."

Jiang Wei looked at the clothes I was wearing and said, "Nuo'er, you look really good in this outfit. It's amazing. When I first met you, I thought it would be a great success for the entire Cos community if you put on two-dimensional clothes, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good."

I felt a little embarrassed: "You came to me just to flatter me? Aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will be jealous?"

"Ye Zi won't be jealous. We are already engaged, and she is not that kind of girl."

Jiang Wei seemed very generous and took the girl next to him in his arms: "Right?"

"No, I'm jealous. You actually complimented other girls."

Ye Zi replied pretentiously: "I'll punish you by helping me play ranked games tonight."

Well……

The way they flirted with each other reminded me of Yin Xiamo for some reason.

Turning around, I saw someone standing behind the transparent glass in the coffee shop, making faces at me.

"Ahem, I won't beat around the bush. This is it."

After spending some time with the girl next to him, Jiang Wei took out a delivery slip and said, "I'm getting engaged this time. You and Pipiji have been my good friends for many years. If I remember correctly, Nuoer, your computer doesn't seem to be that good, right?"

"Eh?"

I thought about it: "Computer? My computer?"

"When you played games with us before, your computer often crashed and you complained about lagging. I remember everything. I remember you sent your computer's CPU and graphics card in the group. I'm a poor computer builder, so I didn't know what to give you this time, so I sent you the treasure of my store, a 3090ti graphics card and a 12th generation i9 CPU. Don't worry, it's brand new. I fought for it for a long time before I got it. Even if the 40 series graphics cards are released in the future, this card can still be used for another four or five years."

Jiang Wei looked serious: "I will go to your house and help you install the computer, then I will go back..."

At this moment, the cell phone in my maid skirt rang.

"Feel sorry."

I took out my cell phone, swiped the screen, and saw that the incoming call was from "Li Denghua".

The genius girl who received a cornea transplant from her own body? Why is she calling me?

"Wait a minute, I'll take a call."

I gave Jiang Wei an apologetic look and walked aside with my computer: "Hello?"

When we first met in the coffee shop, Li Denghua gave me the impression that she was a bit withdrawn, but not to the point where we were completely uncommunicative.

At that time, the tutoring conditions her mother gave me were: the initial tutoring price was 500 yuan per hour. If the effect was good and the child's Chinese and English scores improved significantly, the price could be raised to 1 yuan per hour.

However, these were just initial plans. Because Li Denghua had just been discharged from the hospital and had just recovered enough to attend classes, we only had a brief discussion about tutoring and did not reach a consensus.

"Are you sister Yin Nuoer?"

After pressing the answer button, Li Denghua's clear yet somewhat gloomy voice came from the phone: "I'm coming out of that mushroom house, behind the big tree on the right."

Coming out of the mushroom house? The big tree on the right?

I looked around and tried to walk towards the big banyan tree.

Sure enough, a girl in an elementary school uniform was standing here timidly.

"I want to ask you for a favor. If you don't, I won't listen even if you come to our house to tutor me in the future."

As I looked at her in confusion, the girl put down her phone and stuffed a bag of clothes that should be elementary school uniforms and a school card into my arms.

"I studied abroad for a year due to illness. This is my first time back to school. My former classmates have all gone to junior high school, so no one knows me. Tonight, Saturday, we have an evening study session."

"Use this to go to Xingguang Primary School on my behalf... and ask around for someone in the school. If you find the person, you will be my boss from now on."

"..."

……

【Thank you for the reward from Qizhijun, Yan Di! ! ! =w= Thank you! ! ! 】

No. 143 Understanding the universe also requires sacrifice!

Go to Xingguang Primary School to ask about someone? Evening self-study?

This is all a mess.

I was a little confused by what Li Denghua said.

"Wait a mininute."

I turned around and glanced at Jiang Wei, who was looking at us curiously with his girlfriend Ye Zi at the door of the coffee shop, and gave them a look that said "wait me a few minutes".

"Let me confirm first. You are now recovered and ready to go back to school, right?"

I looked at the elementary school uniform in my hand and Li Denghua’s “Campus Card”.

The card showed Li Denghua's portrait, her name, student number, and class, and at the bottom was a line of cute artistic words: Kamihama City Minaminagi Seiko Elementary School Card.

Through this card, I can get some general information about Li Denghua—she is 11 years old, almost 12 years old, currently studying in Grade 3 (201503013) of Xingguang Primary School, and her student number is .

It is not difficult to see that the first four digits of the school ID number "2015" should represent the year Li Denghua entered school. Now it is 2022, and there is a gap of 7 years. The elementary schools in Minaminagi District are 6-year systems. It is obvious that Li Denghua should have taken a year off from school, which is consistent with her own description.

As for the elementary school uniform... the style seems to be British type, with a pleated skirt and a beret. The seal looks intact, and there is a label inside. It has not been worn by anyone. It is estimated that it was just produced this month.

"Yes."

In response to my question, Li Denghua acted like a little kid with a big brain: "The school has a self-study class tonight. You pretend to be me and sneak in. Find the person. This is the mission."

Little ghost...who taught you to talk like that?

It feels like a boss assigning work to subordinates, there is no courtesy at all.

"Who are you looking for?"

Although I was a little dissatisfied with the tone of this guy's command, considering that in reality I was nearly ten centimeters shorter than this elementary school student, and the other party was still a child, there was no need to make a big deal about it, so I still pretended to listen carefully: "Is it someone very important to you?"

"You'll know if you ask."

What made me feel a little strange was that Li Denghua did not answer the question directly, but turned her head away: "As long as you complete this task, I...if you want to come to our house as a tutor in the future, I will listen to you."

This is really a threat.

"If that person is important to you, shouldn't it make sense for you to meet her yourself?"

I tried to pry information out of this guy: "Or is there any reason why you can't go?"

“So annoying…”

Li Denghua stepped on her leather shoes anxiously and turned the umbrella in her hand: "Just say whether you agree or not!"

"Noel?"

At this time, Jiang Wei, who was sitting on a stone pier outside the coffee shop, shouted over here: "What's wrong? Do you need help?"

"Oh! It's okay, it will be fine in a moment."

I turned around, shielded my eyes from the sun, and said to Jiang Wei, "I'm chatting with a friend."

Then, I turned to Li Denghua and said, "How about this? It's too sunny outside. You can go to the second floor of the coffee shop and find a place to wait for a while. You can also play with the cats there. I'll talk to the big brother over there about work. I'll come upstairs to find you after we're done. Okay?"

The clothes Li Denghua was wearing today were not much different from the ones she was wearing when we first met.

She was wearing a small skirt that was somewhat similar to a Lolita dress, with lace socks and small leather shoes, giving people a feeling of "Gothic Lolita" or even "Rich Lolita".

Of course, Li Denghua is indeed a rich loli.

My mother is an aerospace engineer and my father works in the field of physics, researching things at the level of particle colliders. Such a family is definitely not short of money, but their education may be a little... indulgent?

We chatted when Li Denghua and her mother came to the coffee shop for the first time. My first impression of the mother was that she was gentle and easy-going. My second impression was that she gave Li Denghua too much private time and freedom.

Of course, this may be my judgment based on my own experience and the experience I accumulated when chatting with classmates and roommates during school.

The welfare home is a big family. In order to facilitate management, those of us living there have been instilled with a strong sense of “discipline” since childhood.

For example, what to say hello to elders when you see them, when to eat and when to go to bed, what to do and what not to do, these are all things that have been strictly regulated since childhood. When I grew up, I also asked my classmates and roommates. Although they did not have as many rules as I did because I came from an orphanage, their parents also had various management and restrictions on them.

For example, you cannot close the door when doing homework at home, you can only play computer games on weekends and the time limit is strictly limited to two hours, you must go downstairs and exercise for an hour after dinner, etc. Almost all families have their own way of education.

But Li Denghua... I learned from her mother that the way they educate this precious daughter seems to be... as long as it is not a principled mistake or an excessively outrageous request, it will be met.

The so-called mistakes of principle are mistakes similar to those made by "naughty children", such as running to the garage to damage other people's cars, causing trouble in the elevator and damaging it, or chasing and fighting on the street and affecting traffic. These are absolute "mistakes". Li Denghua's mother will punish her daughter very severely when she sees her daughter making mistakes.

But apart from these, they try their best to meet those requests that will not affect others and are allowed by family conditions, and they allow their daughter to be "willful" and give her enough freedom.

She wants to buy a cute and special little skirt, read books about particle collisions, go to her father's workplace to study quantum entanglement, use a microscope to study frog epidermal cells, transform the utility room into a physics laboratory, and dismantle the computer her father just bought... For Li Denghua's mother, these are not "wrong" requests and they will all be satisfied.

This also led to Li Denghua being particularly willful from childhood to adulthood. With the help of her parents' strong resources, she made rapid progress in the things she was interested in, but she was too lazy to learn the things she didn't like. She had serious academic bias and a withdrawn personality.

I guess the family sent Li Denghua to Xingguang Primary School just to save trouble - their home seemed to be nearby.
