"But I think this is something you should know, Miss Jizi. Rather than letting you investigate secretly and using clumsy means, it is better for me to tell you directly. This is much safer."
(Well......)
"Exposed?" Wuliangta Jizi's face froze, "You even thought of such a thing?"
"After all, that's what I would do if it were me."
(Which is also something you will definitely do.)
In Natsukawa Tora's memory, Ryusuke Murata should have died five years ago, and Himeko Murata joined the destiny to become a Valkyrie in order to investigate the cause of her father's bizarre death. Although Ryusuke Murata is not dead now, since her father was suddenly arrested, Himeko Murata is unlikely to do nothing.
In terms of probability, the possibility that she will launch an investigation is quite high.
"This is my ID account. I can lend it to you for one night. [The whole story of my father's arrest] - let's just say it's a welcome gift I prepared for you personally. It's a little different from the usual gifts."
"And the part that was not recorded..."
[You don't need to tell me, I will tell Ji Zi! ]
The mint candy jumped onto Himeko Muryota's shoulder.
"Then I'll leave it to you~~~By the way, if you need anything about those guys, you can always tell me, I'm happy to help."
[Tsk! Got it! Let's go, Jizi, don't talk to this monster! ]
"Eh? Oh.....um, thank you, Mr. Xiachuan, I'll borrow your ID first!"
Picking up the ID that Xiachuan Hu left on the dining table, Wuliangta Jizi ran back to her room without caring that she still reeked of alcohol.
After watching her door close, Xia Chuanhu paused for a moment, then looked at Siegfried who was thrown into the corner by him: "Get up and take a shower when you wake up. Don't go back with a smell of alcohol. It's not good for Kiana."
"Where are you from, old lady?"
Siegfried naturally restored his body to its original state and got up from the floor. "You are so surprised that you can say that. [Welcome gift]... Normally, shouldn't it be a bouquet of flowers or something like that? When someone moves to a new home, you give her the truth about her father's arrest as a gift - you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"I don't like to clean up after others. If she goes to investigate alone, I always feel that it will cause a lot of trouble."
"Hmm~~~"
Siegfried snorted: "By the way, what's the second half of that sentence?"
"Hmm? Which one did you mean?"
"Reasons, reasons. Didn't you say that you decided to tell her the truth because she was the one who was going to live in this house? But you didn't say the other half of that sentence."
After hearing what Siegfried said, Xia Chuanhu also chuckled: "What you said is not a big deal."
"Since we live in the same house, even if there are hundreds of things we can't say, we have to help each other as much as possible - that's all."
11. Vita's Morning (Noon)
After sending Siegfried back to his own home and forcibly waking up the drunk Vita and instructing her to take a bath and go to bed, Xiachuan Hu simply tidied up the living room and dining room and returned to his room.
He didn't care much about Muliangta Himeko's affairs. No matter how she reacted after learning the truth, it had nothing to do with him.
(Come to think of it, I haven’t discussed the rent with her yet?)
(Forget it. She won’t be going to work tomorrow anyway. Let’s talk about it then.)
With this idea of treating money as dirt, Xia Chuanhu continued to assemble the glue that he had not finished before - this time it was the latest limited edition released by ETStudio under Nientropy in cooperation with a Japanese company, and it was also the Taixu Emperor Shenzhou Limited Edition. If he didn't have connections with Nientropy, he would have to go to Shenzhou first if he wanted to buy this.
(Damn O generation!)
Carrying resentment towards a certain company, Xiachuan Hu spent another uneventful night.
Then time came to the next day——
————————————————————
Vita actually doesn't like getting up early.
Although she is woken up every morning for breakfast because she has a son named Xiachuan Hu at home, if possible, she would like to sleep until she wakes up naturally and stay in bed for a while before getting up.
Just like today.
"Woo~~~~Isn't it time to get up?"
At around eleven o'clock in the morning, Vita came out of bed and stretched her body vigorously.
She actually woke up four hours ago, but after looking at the time, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep. She didn't wake up again until an hour ago. After waking up the second time, she didn't plan to get up immediately. She lay in bed and started to check her phone consciously - until now.
However, perhaps because she drank too much last night, Vita felt that her memory was a little confused.
Specifically,...
(How did I get back to my room?)
Vita had no memory of when she returned to her room. Her memory was that she had been drinking non-stop since the middle of the party. It could be said that she was unconsciously influenced by the atmosphere and then began to lose control of her hands. Maybe she was a person who loved drinking before she lost her memory?
Logically speaking, she should have been lying on the sofa, reeking of alcohol, right? She still vaguely remembered this part of her memory.
But now she changed into pajamas and felt quite refreshed and had a good sleep.
How did she get back to her room? Who changed her into pajamas? And since she changed into pajamas, she must have taken a shower, right? Who helped her take a shower when she was drunk?
——These questions never stopped during the one hour that Vita was browsing her phone, causing her to start intensive thinking early in the morning.
As a side effect,
"Let's think about it while eating breakfast. At this time, Tiger must have prepared breakfast, right?"
Vita touched her rumbling stomach, changed into some casual home clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.
Although it is already past eleven o'clock, in her concept of time, as long as it is the first meal she eats after getting up, it is considered lunch.
What's more, today is the weekend, which is the only day in the week when Xia Chuanhu will prepare fresh and hot lunch. You don't have to eat the semi-finished products he puts in the refrigerator. Although Vita is not picky about food and Xia Chuanhu's cooking skills are good enough, there is absolutely no difference in the taste of the semi-finished products and the finished products.
But - hot food is definitely better than frozen food!
"Hmm~~~ What kind of breakfast will Tiger prepare today? We had such a good meal yesterday, I want to eat something light today~~~"
With brisk steps, Vita came to the first floor with full anticipation for today's breakfast (lunch), and habitually came to the kitchen door: "Tiger~~~ I'm up, what are we having for lunch today——"
"Ah? Miss Vita, good afternoon. Lunch will be ready soon. Please wait a moment."
Himeko Murata's voice came from the kitchen.
At the same time, Vita also saw the figure wearing an apron, with her bright red hair tied into a ponytail, busying around in the kitchen.
(…Huh?)
Doubts naturally arose in Vita's heart.
Why did Himeko Muryota, who had just come to her house yesterday, appear in the kitchen today? And more importantly -
"Listen carefully, Jizi, at this time you have to stir-fry like this, your original method was too forceful."
"oh oh."
"Also, you need to be careful about impurities that appear during the cooking process. It doesn't matter if you're eating it yourself, but if you're entertaining guests, it's better to pay attention to this."
"I see!"
(Why is Tora teaching Ms. Himeko how to cook?)
Looking at Natsukawa Tora standing with Himeko Murata, who was constantly imparting cooking experience like a teacher, Vita suddenly felt an urge to punch the sandbag!
Maybe he noticed Vita's situation, but while the dishes were being served, Xia Chuanhu turned around and looked at Vita: "Vita, if you have time, go next door and call Bianca and Kiana. They started playing games early in the morning. It doesn't matter in the morning, but we have to get them back in the afternoon to do their homework. Go call them back for lunch."
"I know... No!"
After responding subconsciously, Vita suddenly pulled her legs back as she tried to leave: "Are you...teaching Miss Jizi how to cook?"
"Hmm? I guess so. Actually, I just gave a few pointers. Ji Zi's cooking skills are actually quite good."
"Hehe~~~ After all, I have been living alone since I was 15, so I must have some cooking skills." Jizi proudly straightened her chest to be comparable to Vita's, "But I'm still not as good as Xiachuan. If you open a restaurant with your cooking skills, it will soon become a world-class restaurant, right?"
"I opened one before, but I sold it to someone else after a few years. How should I put it... I'm not the kind of person who can stay in one place all the time, and I cook just for fun - Vita, how long are you going to stand there?"
"Ah? Oh!"
Urged by this, Vita immediately turned around and prepared to go next door to call the two little ones.
only.......
"What are you doing turning your head back every three steps? Be careful not to hit your head on the door frame."
"pain!"
Seeing Vita turning back every two steps and hitting her head against the wall, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but tilt his head: "Are you still awake? Or did you sleep too long and your brain got damaged?"
"Wu~~~ No! It's none of your business!"
After glaring at Xiachuanhu angrily, Vita turned around and ran away.
(What is she angry about? Is she angry because she woke up?)
Naturally, doubts arose in Xia Chuanhu's heart, and then they were thrown into the trash can in his mind in the blink of an eye.
12. Jizi's future is bleak
Compared to the joyful banquet last night, the dining table at the Xiachuan family’s house at noon today was a little more... quiet.
Even though it was common sense to keep quiet while eating, when they sat on the chairs, the sisters Bianca and Kiana inexplicably felt a very suspicious atmosphere, as if they were sandwiched between two open refrigerators, and they felt cold all over.
And one of the refrigerators is...
(What happened to Sister Vita?)
Looking at Vita, who had the same smile as always but didn't seem to have any trace of a smile on her face, Kiana and Bianca couldn't help but tremble.
As for Natsukawa Tora, who was sitting next to Vita, he seemed to be completely unaware of the abnormality of the people around him. He ate the lunch he and Himeko prepared very calmly. Today's lunch was spicy curry, which was a bit monotonous compared to the usual lunch at the Natsukawa family. But according to Natsukawa Tora, this was a special greeting gift made by Himeko for the first day she moved in.
Bianca and Kiana were not picky eaters to begin with, and since the lunch was specially prepared by such a beautiful sister, Sister Jizi, if Vita hadn't been giving off an inexplicable cold aura, the two of them would have been eating it with relish by now.
"Come to think of it, there's something I almost forgot again."
Halfway through lunch, as if he was looking for a topic, or as if he had suddenly remembered it, Xia Chuanhu took the initiative to break the silence at the table.
"Jizi, haven't I discussed the rent with you yet?"
"Eh? Yeah, that's right... I almost forgot about it myself."
rent.
As part of her debt repayment, that is the most important expense that Wuliangta Jizi cannot ignore in her future life!
"Well, a lot of things happened yesterday, including the situation at the banquet. I'm really embarrassed to talk about this kind of thing." Xia Chuanhu smiled, "I want to discuss the details of the rent with you."
"Okay...eh? Do you want to discuss this with me?"
Wuliangta Himeko was a little surprised: "I thought you had already decided."
"This isn't something that can be decided by one person, right? Or would you accept my offer of 10,000 yuan a month?"
“That’s really a bit… ahahaha~~~”
Ten thousand a month.
Although Xia Chuanhu didn't mention the company, Wuliangta Jizi already understood what he meant. If she really had to pay this level of rent, it would be extortion! Robbery! She didn't even know how much she would be paid for the next month!
"So I need to discuss this with you - personally, I think there's nothing wrong with charging you 100 euros a month."
"Thank you very much, but if you lower the rent so much, I'll feel a little uneasy."
Wuliangta Jizi has lived in the United States alone for eight years, so she has some understanding of the rent price. No matter what, it is impossible for her to rent a room in Xiachuanhu's high-end villa for 100 euros a month, right? That would be no different from letting her eat and live for free.
(In fact, Vita really lived and ate for free. Not to mention 100 euros a month, she didn’t pay any rent in the past five years.)
"Well~~~If it's okay, I'd like to know my salary first, and then make an income and expenditure statement for myself before..."
"You make 7000 euros a month."
"Is that so...eh? Seven thousand? Huh?"
After a pause of one second, Wuliangta Jizi finally realized what number Xiachuanhu said.
