Zongman: Collecting starts with Shiori

Shiki Shoufeng scratched his face and didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, if he said he was here to pick her up, what if he was disliked again?

But the next moment, he felt a soft feeling on his back and heard Qin Li's timid voice.

"He...he came to pick me up."

"It seems that's the case. We appreciate your kindness, but can you leave now?"

As Shikimori Feng spoke, he let go of the yellow-haired man's hand, trying to resolve the matter in a peaceful way.

"That's it..."

The yellow-haired man muttered, withdrew his hand and moved his wrist.

But the next moment his face turned sinister.

"But your actions make me feel uncomfortable. Who told you to meddle in other people's business? I can't calm down if I don't beat you up!!"

"ah!!"

Seeing the fist swinging towards her, Kotori couldn't help but let out a scream.

And Shi Shoufeng sighed.

"Sure enough, 'nuclear annihilation' is the fastest solution..."

Looking at the yellow-haired man's straight punch with one leg, Shi Shoufeng just shook his head.

"There are holes all over the body..."

Shiki Mori Feng directly stretched out a foot and pressed it against the yellow-haired man's leg. His hand stuck to the yellow-haired man's arm like a snake. With a pull and a push, the yellow-haired man instantly lost his balance and fell forward, with his big butt sticking out towards Shiki Mori Feng and Kotori.

Shi Shoufeng glanced at him slightly, then picked up the trash can full of garbage beside him and kicked the yellow-haired man hard on his butt.

"Boom!!"

"You think I like you? I'm about to fall asleep, but you're the only one who has so many things to do. Why do you have to tease girls? Wouldn't it be better if you could go home earlier and use more tissues? Only Miss Five won't betray you!!"

After venting his anger, Shikimori Feng looked at the smelly yellow-haired man with disdain and was about to leave. After taking two steps, he looked at Qin Li who was still standing there in a daze and asked in a bad mood.

"Why are you still standing here? He's screaming so loudly, is he waiting here to be questioned?"

“Ah…Ohhh!!”

Kotori realized it later and followed Shikimori Kaede's footsteps and quickly left the place.

After walking for a while, Shikimori Feng felt that the hem of his clothes was being tightly pulled by Kotori, and he sighed helplessly.

"Be a good person to the end... I will take you home..."

"Well...thank you...thank you..."

Kotori had this plan in mind, after what she had just experienced, she really couldn't leave and go home by herself. She felt that someone would jump out at any time when she turned a corner. However, the awkward atmosphere made it impossible for her to speak. Shikimori Kaede's initiative to mention it could be said that it was a great help.

Not long after, in the silence of each other, they arrived at the home belonging to Shiori and Kotori. Shikimori Feng looked up at the dark house and knew that Shiori had rested, so he stood firm and spoke in a low voice.

"We're here, let's go back..."

Kotori let go of Shikimori Kaede's clothes and stood there stupidly.

Looking at Shikimori Kaede leaving, Kotori couldn't help but speak.

"Where are you going...?"

?

Shikimori Kaede turned around and gave Kotori a strange look.

"I'm going back to sleep. Didn't I just say that I almost fell asleep?"

"But...isn't that a park? Where is there a place to sleep?"

Shikimori Kaede rolled his eyes at Kotori. Since he had already repaid the favor, he didn't need to be so polite anymore.

"I'll sleep on the chair. Are you satisfied? That's all. I still have to look for a job tomorrow."

"Wait...wait a minute...!"

Kotori took two quick steps and grabbed the hem of Shikimori's clothes. Because she ran so fast, her head even rested on Shikimori's back.

However, she did not leave immediately, but took advantage of the situation to speak.

"Yes... I'm sorry, thank you for helping me... I believe what my sister said now, you are a good person..."

"I thank you good man Kaha?"

"That's not what I meant...!"

Kotori's face was red, and she spoke softly while feeling the warmth coming from Shikimori Kaede's back.

"Don't you have a place to sleep? I...I forgive you. We just happen to have a spare guest room. It's just sitting there anyway...you can sleep at our house."

"forget it..."

Shiki Shoufeng shook his head. It was troublesome to stay at someone else's house. It was better to find a place of your own to sleep.

? ?

Kotori obviously didn't expect Shikimori to refuse.

If she is rejected, what is the point of her coming out? !

She hurriedly walked in front of Shi Shoufeng, stood on tiptoe, and glared at Shi Shoufeng with puffy face.

"Go! To! My! Home! And! Sleep!"

Chapter 14 Sisters' Retention

Shikimori Kaede was also overwhelmed by Kotori, so he took a step back and kept a safe distance from Kotori.

"Are you okay? It was you who wanted to drive me away in the first place, but now I don't want to, and it's you who asked me to go back. Miss, there should be a limit to your moodiness, right?"

"I don't care! Just go when I tell you to! Why do you sleep on the floor when there's a bed for you? Are you a masochist?"

"Who are you? Why do you care so much about me?"

Shikimori Feng was also a little impatient. He even regretted helping Kotori. The difference in this woman's personality before and after was too great.

And the more Shiki Shoufeng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. How could someone who could subdue him in one go be afraid of a little yellow-haired kid? This must be fake, right?!

"Why are you so fierce! Don't think that saving me once can offset everything! I...I've exposed all my secrets and embarrassing moments to you!!"

Kotori's cheeks were flushed with anger and shyness, and her eyes were shining with a determined look.

"Hey......"

The corners of Shi Shoufeng's mouth rose slightly, but there was a hint of helplessness and mockery in his eyes.

"I should have just let you fend for yourself and let those bad guys destroy you! Why would I interfere and save you?"

"You really have to! I...I just want to apologize to you. I don't want to see you have nowhere to go and have to sleep on the cold street. Is this also my fault?"

Qin Li's eyes gradually turned red, her voice was mixed with grievance and stubbornness, her little hands were clenched into fists, as if she was annoyed at the powerlessness of defending herself.

As she spoke, Kotori's tearful eyes finally revealed the grievances in her heart, and the reasons flowed out like a spring, making the originally tense atmosphere a little softer.

Hearing this, the playful look on Shi Shoufeng's face froze instantly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by deep self-blame.

"..."

He pursed his lips, obviously not expecting Kotori's reaction.

"What are you...doing?"

In this subtle and awkward silence, the entrance door was pushed open silently, and Shiori, wearing soft pajamas, appeared at the door.

Her long, smooth hair was casually spread out, and her eyes were slightly red as if she had just finished crying, but mostly blank, and she was obviously confused by the scene before her.

The place fell into silence again, with only the occasional sound of the night wind and the complex breathing of the three people.

"..."

Shikimori Kaede and Kotori both shut their mouths at the same time, each looking at Shiori who suddenly appeared with complicated feelings, and a quarrel that should have been fierce was unexpectedly interrupted.

Shiori did not investigate why Kotori appeared outside at this moment. She looked at Shikimori Kaede's somewhat embarrassed expression. Although it was hidden on her face, she could still faintly see a hint of joy.

"Don't leave this time, okay? I've already made the bed for you, can you please not waste my hard work?"

At the same time, Kotori took a step forward, grabbed the hem of Shikimori Kaede's clothes and tried to pull him inside.

"You're a grown man, don't be so hesitant. My sister and I are not afraid, so how can you be afraid that I will eat you? At worst, I won't pursue it anymore! Just consider it as our offset!"

Looking at the two people's expectant eyes, Shi Shoufeng fell silent.

"come in..."

Shiori also walked forward and held Shikimori Kaede's hand.

"I guess you helped Kotori, right? Otherwise, this girl's attitude wouldn't have changed so quickly. In this case, both of us sisters owe you something, Feng. If you don't come in, we'll feel uneasy because we can't help... Okay?"

In the last two words, Shikimori Feng heard the meaning of Shiori's inner prayer.

At this moment, Shi Shoufeng's hesitation was finally removed, and he lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"Please let me stay overnight, sorry to bother you..."

"Ok!"

Shiori finally smiled, the kind of warm smile that comes from relief and the fact that something he loves is back where it belongs again.

In the living room, the lights were as bright and warm as daytime, dispelling the silence and loneliness of the night.

The clock has quietly pointed to two o'clock in the morning, and from the depths of the kitchen, bursts of mouth-watering food aroma waft out from time to time. The fragrance seems to have magical powers that can penetrate the dark night and arouse people's most primitive appetite.

Shikimori Kaede and Kotori sat opposite each other, their eyes meeting, like two swords about to clash. There was a subtle and tense atmosphere in the air, as if the debate between them would never end.

"You are a reincarnated pig, right? It's already late at night, and you still dare to ask my sister to make you a midnight snack?"

Faced with this sudden questioning, Shi Shoufeng's expression seemed a little ridiculous. He seemed to be asking with his eyes whether the other party was joking. His eyes were full of confusion and a hint of teasing.

"Hmm? Could it be that it wasn't you, the young lady, who was outside the kitchen door just now, shouting for another bowl?"

Kotori's cheeks flushed slightly as she defended herself, her voice mixed with a hint of shyness and reluctance.

"That's because... because I went out to look for you late at night, and I walked for too long and I'm so hungry!"

Shikimori Feng raised a sly smile and counterattacked.

"Hey, what a coincidence! I just went to great lengths to save some idiot. Besides, I didn't even have a meal today, so why not fill my stomach?"

At this time, Shizhi walked into the living room carrying a few plates of simple but fragrant home-cooked dishes. Listening to the two people still bickering, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, and more of a tolerant smile, and she gently interrupted.

"Why are you two arguing again? Didn't you already make up?"

"Who made peace with him, huh!"

While speaking angrily, Kotori grabbed a soft pillow from the sofa and threw it at Shikimori Kaede, her movements carrying the naivety and anger that were unique to a young girl.

Shi Shoufeng easily caught the flying pillow, threw it away, then stood up calmly and walked towards the dining table, his posture revealing a sense of laziness and unrestrainedness.

"Wow, this smell... is so tempting."

He sniffed the aroma of the dishes, praised them sincerely, and his satisfaction was beyond words.

When Shizhi heard this, his smile was as warm and brilliant as the spring breeze.

"Eat more if you like. If it's not enough, I can always make more."

Qin Li, who was temporarily left aside, saw the two of them talking to each other and could not help but stamp her feet angrily, with a voice full of coquettish and unwilling protest.

"Sister! Don't forget about me! I want to eat too!"

Upon hearing this, Shiori responded with a doting smile.

"Okay, okay. Come and eat too."

"Hey! Shut up! That one is mine! You bastard! Shut up!!"

Seeing Shikimori Kaede eating Kuku voraciously, Kotori became anxious.

Chapter 15 How Will You Be Responsible

After a hearty meal, Shikimori Feng looked at Shiori, only to see that her eyes were gradually becoming blurred and she looked very sleepy.

He patted her shoulder gently, his voice soft and gentle.
