Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

"Just... just don't use it for anything weird!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep it as a family heirloom."

"How disgusting, I don't want to give it to you anymore."

Sakurajima Mai said she was a little disgusted, but she still handed the stockings to Hayashi Chiki.

Lin Qianshu didn't do anything perverted after getting the stockings. After all, it was just a piece of fabric that a beautiful girl had worn, and it had even been machine washed, so its value was greatly reduced.

The reason I asked Mai Sakurajima for it was partly to tease her, and partly to test my current status in her heart.

Well, it was just an obedience test. (Subtly puts away the stockings)

"Reward received. Now, please give your orders, General Ma Yi."

"Come with me home."

"I perform, but I don't sell my body, General."

“Who wants you to sell yourself?” Mai spat lightly, then explained, “I need you to help me communicate with the apartment management and ask them to send a locksmith to open the door for me.”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qianshu asked a crucial question: "Mai-kun, should I tell the administrator about our relationship?"

Mai Sakurajima was taken aback, then looked at Chisato Hayashi with a slight hesitation and asked, "Siblings?"

You know what, Lin Qianshu is indeed quite handsome. I doubt anyone would disagree that he's Sakurajima Mai's younger brother.

"Siblings? I feel like even couples would be more convincing than that," Lin Qianshu retorted without any politeness.

"Then let's be a couple." Mai looked like she was ready to go all in.

"Haha, so here's another problem: how do I prove we're a couple? And how do I explain that I, as the boyfriend, had to ask the apartment manager for a locksmith to open my girlfriend's door in the middle of the night when the apartment wasn't home?"

Mai Sakurajima fell silent, because she had no way to explain it, and it might even attract the police...

"This is troublesome," Mai Sakurajima sighed. Why was it so difficult for her to go home?

Next time, I might as well make a copy of the key and leave it with Lin Qianshu.

If she forgets her keys again someday, she can just come to him to get them.

"Since things have come to this, why don't we go outside and see if your unusual behavior has disappeared? If someone notices it, then I won't need to intervene," Lin Qianshu suggested.

"That's all we can do."

P.S.: My sleep schedule is completely messed up...

Chapter 71 It would be better to just stay at my house

As night deepened, the rain began to subside. By the time Lin Qianshu and Sakurajima Mai were about to go out, it had turned into a light drizzle, almost to the point where it was perfectly fine not to use an umbrella.

However, just in case, Lin Qianshu still brought an umbrella as a precaution.

Is there only one umbrella?

"I live alone, why would I need so many umbrellas?" Lin Qianshu replied matter-of-factly.

Mai Sakurajima asked, "Speaking of which, do you live alone?"

While putting on her shoes, Lin Qianshu replied, "Yeah, is there a problem? Isn't it common for high school students to live alone these days? For example, Mai-kun, you probably live alone too, right?"

"I had a special reason for that." Before that incident, Mai Sakurajima had always lived with her mother.

“Well, I have my own special reasons.” Lin Qianshu stood up, opened the door, and pressed the elevator button in the corridor.

Mai Sakurajima followed closely behind, carrying the trash she had left at the door earlier.

"Does she have a bad relationship with her family?"

"Not bad, right?"

Lin Qianshu thought of his grandfather, who kept sending him messages, wanting him to return to China to study.

Going back is out of the question. Although he has all of the original owner's memories, their habits are completely different. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Qianshu plans to stay outside for a while longer.

Over time, their lifestyle changes, and you could say that boys change a lot as they grow up.

It can be said that his current situation is equivalent to having two lives, except that because he has more memories from the other world, it takes the lead, but he also retains some of the original body's habits.

If you really want to put it that way, you could see him as a completely new personality that was formed because of an accident.

Lin Qianshu has a clear understanding of himself; he is who he is, and there are no philosophical or physiological issues about him.

“That means he wants to live independently.” Mai Sakurajima expressed her understanding, saying that young boys, when they reach a certain age, will always want to break away from their parents and have their own independent space.

"Your parents are quite open-minded," Mai Sakurajima remarked sincerely, not only letting Chiki Lin live alone without worry, but also renting such a high-end apartment for him.

In contrast, her family relationships are much more complicated. First, her parents divorced, her mother became her agent, and then that other thing happened.

Her current situation can be described as that of an orphan with both parents still alive.

Lin Qianshu, the true orphan: ...

Seeing Lin Qianshu's strange expression, Sakurajima Mai asked with some doubt, "Was there something wrong with what I said?"

"No, no problem. They were indeed quite open-minded when they were alive." Lin Qianshu wasn't lying. His parents were indeed quite open-minded. Even on holidays, they wouldn't make too many arrangements for his vacation.

Yes, because they go on their own trips during the holidays and don't take him with them.

However, even if you don't bring your own pocket money, you still get plenty of allowance. For example, if you go out with classmates, you can get full reimbursement.

"Wait... before he died?" Mai was about to say that she was quite envious of Lin Qianshu's family relationship, but she realized something was wrong as soon as she said it.

Lin Qianshu remembered that this should be the third time his parents had been mentioned recently.

Does this mean that every time I meet a girl, I have to bring up her parents and tell her all about them?

What kind of strange rules are these?

"They're gone." Lin Qianshu said without joy or sorrow, as if she had completely accepted this reality.

"Sorry, I don't know..." Sakurajima Mai was also a little embarrassed. Was she just bringing up a sore spot?

"Ignorance is no excuse, and besides, it's all in the past." Lin Qianshu shook his head, telling Sakurajima Mai not to worry about it.

Honestly, if Lin Qianshu had said something to her at that moment, she might have felt better. Instead, the other person comforted her and told her not to worry about it.

How could I not care?

Mai Sakurajima didn't know what to say. Compared to Chiki Hayashi, at least her parents were still alive. Although they didn't contact each other often, the monthly child support payments were always in excess of what she was owed.

"Why don't you scold me a couple of times?" Mai Sakurajima asked tentatively.

"Masochism?"

"I'll beat you up!"

"If you really care that much..." Lin Qianshu looked Sakurajima Mai up and down, making her feel uneasy.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Qianshu recalled with a hint of regret, "I remember that every time I went out, my mom would give me a loving hug."

Sakurajima Mai: ...

She understood.

Mai Sakurajima looked around to make sure no one was around, then put the trash on the ground and wrapped her arms around Chiki Hayashi from behind.

Feeling the soft touch on her back, which vanished before she could savor it, Lin Qianshu took the opportunity to say, "And a loving kiss."

Sakurajima Mai: ...

She didn't say anything, but simply pursed her lips and walked up to Lin Qianshu.

As the girl drew closer, Lin Qianshu swallowed hard.

Could it be that……

The pain that followed on his right cheek immediately shattered Lin Qianshu's unrealistic fantasies. Sakurajima Mai was seen pulling at the tender flesh on both sides of his cheek with her left hand, but the force wasn't too great, so the pain wasn't very noticeable.

According to scientific studies, appropriate levels of pain can help the brain release endorphins, thereby relieving pain and helping the body relax.

If we round it off, it could be considered that Mai Sakurajima was giving him a massage.

It's a reward. (Joyful)

"Don't push your luck. This is a warning." After saying this, Mai Sakurajima let go of the trash bag and then picked it up again.

Wait, did Mai wash her hands when she pinched his cheek?

"that……"

"Ok?"

"Did Mai wash her hands before pinching my cheek?"

"Is there a restroom nearby?" Mai Sakurajima asked in return.

"That……"

"Don't worry, I was using my left hand just now."

Lin Qianshu breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely exclaimed, "As expected of the mature and reliable senior Mai, she really knows how to take care of people."

After going downstairs, Mai Sakurajima threw the trash into the garbage room.

There happened to be staff sorting the trash inside. In Japan, especially in urban areas, there are very strict regulations on how to dispose of trash, and different types of trash even have different times to be disposed of.

However, the upscale apartment where Lin Qianshu lived was not subject to such restrictions. He could throw his trash downstairs at any time, and the building manager would take care of it for him.

That's the beauty of money.

However, when Mai Sakurajima walked up to the caretaker with her trash and he didn't even glance at her, Mai knew that she was still in a state of being unobservable.

After thinking for a moment, Mai Sakurajima chose to hand the trash in her hand to Chiki Hayashi.

As soon as Lin Qianshu took the trash, the manager noticed him immediately and asked him in a friendly manner, "Sir, you can just put the trash at your feet, and I will take care of it later."

Since she still couldn't be observed, Mai Sakurajima wondered if she should find a hotel to spend the night in.

Lin Qianshu said speechlessly:

“You might as well sleep at my house instead of going to a hotel. You need an ID card to open a hotel, and in your current situation, I'll have to open one for you.”

Chapter 72 Who can withstand this?

Lin Qianshu's words made sense. Given Sakurajima Mai's current situation, it was definitely impossible for her to book a hotel room.

In the end, they would just use Lin Qianshu's ID to check in, and he would have to come back again to check out tomorrow, which would be too much trouble. It would be better to just stay at his house.

After all, Lin Qianshu's house is quite large, with two guest rooms, complete with bedding and other amenities. Although not brand new, it is certainly cleaner than a hotel room.

It's more than enough for one night.

Since she was already down there, Lin Qianshu decided to go to the supermarket to buy some things before going back.

He glanced at Mai Sakurajima, who was still struggling with her decision, and decisively made the choice for her.

"Let's go, we're already downstairs. Come with me to the supermarket to buy some food, and I'll also buy your toiletries for tonight."

"Oh."

Sakurajima Mai responded with a sound, but it was unclear whether she agreed or not; Lin Qianshu simply took it as a yes.

There's nothing I can do if they disagree; they can't exactly sleep on the streets tonight, can they?

It had just rained, and the temperature at night was much lower than usual. Even homeless people needed to find a warm shelter, let alone a delicate girl like Mai Sakurajima.

She even gave Lin Qianshu the pantyhose that had some warmth-retaining properties!

Since they needed to buy toiletries and late-night snacks, the 24-hour convenience store downstairs obviously couldn't meet their needs, so the two chose to go to a nearby supermarket.

Even though it was almost three or four hours past lunchtime, you could still see some workers in suits who had just finished get off work selecting ingredients in the supermarket.

Sakurajima Mai walked ahead, constantly selecting ingredients. She volunteered to be in charge of the late-night snack, and Lin Qianshu naturally didn't object, pushing the shopping cart behind her.

Freshly made food is definitely better than pre-made food, especially since it's made by Mai Sakurajima herself. If this were sold to her fans, wouldn't it cost 100,000 yen per meal?

"It feels like my girlfriend is about to stay overnight at my house for the first time and is going to cook for me herself."

"Constantly indulging in such foolish thoughts will truly make you stupid."
