I refuse to be a plagiarist

"But to be honest, you said that when Teacher Jing came here, you also threw her on the floor to spend the night. Is that true?"

Looking at someone's bed with resentment.

I don't know what the other party is thinking. It's obvious that if I let him go up, I won't suffer any loss.

"Nonsense, why would I lie to you?"

Faced with the girl's pointed suspicion, Hasegawa sat up and gave her a helpless look.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the other person is lying on the bed when he wakes up. That’s just because I moved there after I woke up in the morning.

Otherwise, where would the uncomfortable feeling of back pain come from?

Chapter 143: Gentleman and Villain

Things like changing address, once confirmed, eventually happen faster than expected.

After careful consideration, Hasegawa finally gave up the apartment with one-stop capital services and chose a single-family house that was closer to the school and editorial department.

This is the same style as that of Nohara Shinnosuke and Nobi Nobi's.

From the outside, this building is full of the sense of the times when the neon economy was booming in the 1970s and 1980s, but because of certain aspects of its design, it has all the modern equipment you need.

However, because it is still in the decoration stage, there is still a long way to go before actual move-in.

But the reason why a plan is a plan is because of the sense of distance between the present and the future, and the beautiful vision it brings to the parties involved in the process.

So during this period of time, a certain guy was thinking about how to mess up his new nest every day, and unknowingly wasted his precious time.

It’s like looking at the Taobao page late at night and before you know it, it’s already two or three in the morning.

This feeling, which is full of expectations but difficult to achieve in a short period of time, cannot be understood simply by words.

But apart from this, some necessary issues also have to be considered in advance.

For example, the placement of a certain young girl, or some other more practical preparations.

The latter is roughly similar to the purchase of some furniture and the advance scouting of basic buildings around the new home. As long as you spare some time, energy and money, it can basically be easily done in a short time.

It's just the former...

[Forget it, things will work out when the time comes. We'll talk about it later.]

【It's moist and moist...】

Without hesitation, he chose the deferred approach of waiting for the opportunity.

After all, as mentioned before, there is still a long way to go before the actual relocation. Since he has already settled all the hard issues in advance, there is no need for him to worry about it.

It's not a big deal even if you just leave the new house there for a while.

"Look at it this way, you are really in big trouble."

"What else can we do?!

But now that it has come to this, it would be a bit too cruel to the child to deal with it casually.

well......."

I couldn't help but let out a sigh full of melancholy.

“If it really doesn’t work, let’s put the relocation on hold for now.

Anyway, it won’t be long before the little girl reaches adulthood. By then, she can find a job and live independently.”

People are all made of flesh and blood. Although on the surface they still seem to be bickering from time to time, Hasegawa, as the person involved, can clearly feel the trust and reliance that Nagato has on him.

Although sometimes some strange thoughts pop up in my mind, which sometimes give me a headache...

"Oh~ Is it that damn chauvinism and sense of responsibility that's causing this?

You...are just as hypocritical as ever when it comes to certain things."

He complained mercilessly.

Just from the girl's smiling eyes, it can be seen that she very much agrees with Hasegawa's approach.

"It's a pity that I may not be able to help with this matter."

As the maid of the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, Hayasaka Ai has good treatment and is exposed to a lot of things on this platform, but the resources that belong to her and can be freely disposed of are ultimately limited.

After all, workers are just workers.

Although compared with her peers, the girl’s achievements are rare, but facing the current social system, it is still full of thorns and difficulties to accomplish certain things.

"I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help."

"Eh? That's not necessary...

Hayasaka, if you say that, how can I have the nerve to get along with you normally in the future?"

He waved his hand indifferently.

In fact, the reason I asked the other person out this time was just to talk it out and release my emotions.

Some problems ultimately need to be faced and solved by yourself.

and........

"Actually, I have talked to Yukinoshita about Nagato before.

But as you can see, even this proud young lady doesn't have any good solution for this kind of thing."

If you want to place the girl, you must use the family's resources.

In this case, the variables, subsequent impacts and risks would be extremely troublesome, so Hasegawa rejected Yang No's proposal without even thinking about it and chose to fight it alone.

but.......

[You actually... told that person about this directly? ! ]

He stared in confusion at the boy in front of him who didn't take it seriously.

Although it is not too much, Hayasaka Ai has more or less some understanding about Yukinoshita Haruno from Hasegawa.

According to the girl's psychological research on adolescent boys and girls, this kind of relationship between the two, which is more than friends but less than lovers, is extremely subtle, and it would not be strange at all even if some strange sparks were created.

Just like myself...

【….】

After a brief outage, the blonde girl swept the thought that had just flashed through her mind into a corner, trying to reconnect her broken thoughts.

——What did you just think of?

——Oh, right, relationship!

[According to common sense, in this kind of relationship, directly telling the other person that you have a cute girl at home is like the fuse of a thunderbolt. ]

[Even if it wasn't a thunderous explosion, the subsequent impact shouldn't be so understated. ]

【But Hasegawa...】

Look carefully at the expression on the boy's face at this moment.

But no matter how Hayasaka observed, all she could read from Hasegawa Hide's face was a look of calmness.

This reminded her of the Chinese classic that the other person had mentioned casually during their previous chat: "A gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried and concerned."

Although Hasegawa usually calls himself a "vulgar man full of bad qualities", in Hayasaka Ai's eyes, he now embodies the magnanimity of a gentleman in the story.

[In this case... Miss Yukinoshita's reaction can be explained. ]

To behave uprightly and honestly is nothing more than this.

Although words and public opinion can stir up trouble for a while, they can hardly erase the facts engraved by time.

"You...are really an interesting person."

"Eh?"

"Hee... It's nothing. Just think of it as someone talking to himself out of boredom."

"what?!"

The pretty face that was used to wearing a mask now revealed a bright smile.

Seeing someone in a daze at that moment, Hayasaka Ai gently closed her eyes, opened her arms, and embraced the summer breeze that was enough to take away her fatigue and troubles...

Chapter 144: I want to stick my neck out

People are so insignificant.

Compared to this vast world, the power of one person is too limited.

Therefore, going with the flow and taking advantage of the situation is the survival philosophy of someone who starts out with nothing but underwear and has to pick up all his equipment.

Survive in the cracks and fight for peace!

Fortunately, he succeeded.

Sweat catalyzes talent, and with the indispensable luck and the people he met during his growth who were worthy of his trust and reliance, Hasegawa successfully transformed from a crazy worker who tossed and turned for a living to a person with a certain degree of autonomy in making choices.

Compared to Hasegawa Hide, the girl named Hayasaka Ai also has her own set of survival philosophy.

When people live in the world, they need to wear various masks to deal with different environments, but the existence of nature can easily bring unnecessary trouble to themselves and those around them.

It may sound a little confusing, but if we give a simple example, her philosophy will become very easy to understand.

For example, children.

Compared with children who are innocent, playful and curious about all new things around them, parents often prefer "good children" who are obedient and honest and can bring honor to themselves in certain areas.

This sentence does not mean that good children are bad, but that in the process of growing from a naive and naughty individual to the ideal state of "other people's children", the boys and girls involved often have to put in more hard work behind the scenes and even put on a layer of acquired shell under their own appearance.

Hayasaka Ai is like that.

As Kaguya Shinomiya's close attendant, her identity destined her to face extremely complex interpersonal relationships. Without the ability to resist independently, in this environment of intrigue, she naturally and passively put on that cold and indifferent shell.

In fact, it is still the case today.

However, when facing someone who breaks into her world, under the subtle influence of the other party, the girl will occasionally show her own side.

“Only by embracing your own weakness can you become truly strong.

It may sound a bit childish, but I think it is sometimes really important to face up to your own vulnerable side.

I don’t want my friends to get stuck in a dead end because of such boring things. It’s really not worth it.”

Standing on the rooftop of the apartment, Hasegawa spoke softly while looking down at the city scene that looked like a three-dimensional thumbnail.

In fact, he could feel that the girl next to him seemed to be suppressing some unknown secret in her heart.

Otherwise, that bright smile just now wouldn't have caused him to lose his mind.

Indeed, as the two of them got along, Hayasaka's image in his eyes became more and more colorful. She was countless times better than the cold girl who was used to wearing a mask when he first met her in the store.

But as the iceberg gradually melts, some things that were previously unnoticed are now gradually emerging.

Is it simply because of myself? Or is it something else that ordinary people cannot access?

He didn't know.

But looking at the fatigue that the other party inadvertently revealed, Hasegawa felt that he needed to do something.

Even if it's just some simple comfort.

“I know that a large family like yours, which has accumulated the efforts of several generations, must have some terrifying energy that ordinary people like us are unaware of.

Compared to these, the power of an individual may not be much better than that of an ant.

but......."

Turning the conversation,

Indeed, compared to the whole world, the power of one person is quite small.

But we should not forget that the so-called social order is the product built by countless tiny people.

Powerful forces create rules, and the creators of the rules will abide by them even if they have power.

At least that's what's needed on the surface!

"Since there are rules for the operation of this society, it proves that these powerful people who can cover the sky with one hand are not really unscrupulous.
