The sobs that were suppressed echoed in the silent room, but the sound was so soft that it was almost inaudible if you didn't listen carefully.

Hiroshi knew it was her crying.

He was surprised but also expected that the girl Yukinoshita Yukino was actually crying.

It turns out that she is not as strong as she appears.

This refreshed Hiroshi's understanding of this girl.

Suppressed crying sounds could be faintly heard from outside the door. She was trying her best to control the impact of her emotional outburst on the people around her.

Even at this time, he is still so stubborn.

With his brows slightly furrowed, Hao Shu subconsciously sat up from the bed, walked to the door of the room and grasped the door handle. The cold touch made him sober up a little.

He was a little hesitant.

After all, it was time for both of them to rest, their own private time. Everyone needed their own private space to vent their feelings and quietly heal their wounds. And why was he suddenly opening the door? Was he planning to intrude on someone else's world?

Are you sure you won't make things worse without permission? After all, Yukinoshita Yukino is a strong-willed girl.

And this is also inconsistent with the cleaning, after all, they are neither husband and wife nor lovers, not even friends.

It's just the relationship between an employer and an employee. It would be too much to ask for help in this way.

So Hiroshi hesitated at the door of the room.

Even though Yukino was sleeping next door, and there was only a door between them, and it was a quiet late night, Hiroshi felt surprisingly upset.

Tension and irritability filled my heart and controlled my thoughts.

To open or not to open?

After calming down, Hiroshi sorted out today's events in his mind.

Too many things happened today, which was beyond the limit that a sixteen-year-old girl could bear. She had to face the cruel oppression of her family and the difficulties of surviving in society at the same time.

Not to mention her, even many adults today cannot bear this.

Alas, it happened at this awkward age.

It’s not too old, but not too young either. It’s an age where you know a little bit about everything but can do nothing.

It is also the most sensitive age.

With a sigh, Hao Shu made a decision.

He slowly let go of the door handle. He didn't intend to intrude into this guy's private world. Yukinoshita Yukino must be in a very miserable state now. If he went out now, he would see her most vulnerable side, which was also her last bit of dignity.

Hiroshi chose to respect this modesty.

But it was impossible to do nothing, and then in the quiet night, a light cough stopped the crying from next door.

There was a dead silence outside, as if something had been broken.

There was a glimmer of understanding in his eyes, and without caring whether Hiroshi responded or not, he started talking to himself.

"There's a Hungarian proverb: 'Escape is shameful but useful.'"

"If you're dissatisfied with everything right now and don't know how to deal with it, then just ignore it for now. There's nothing wrong with running away, but the most important thing is to survive!"

There was no sound outside. Hiroshi knew that Yukino was listening. He didn't know if it would be useful, but he hoped she could hold on. At this time, escape was a more effective means.

"Even if escaping is shameful, what's more important is to survive. On this point, I will not accept any objections or rebuttals!"

There was something incomprehensible about the mumbling, but the voice became increasingly powerful.

"If the road ahead is filled with difficulties and makes people feel overwhelmed."

Hiroshi glanced at the bright starry sky outside the window, pursed his lips and said in a consoling and inquiring manner as if to make a final summary.

"Isn't it good to choose to retreat?"

Having said all, Hiroshi slowly walked back to his original position and lay back on the bed. Regardless of whether his words had any effect or not, he had said what he wanted to say the most. This was the most he could say, and there was nothing he could do next.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Hiroshi seemed to hear a faint “thank you.”

That night, both people in the same room couldn't sleep.

Haoshu's thoughts were in a mess. He could no longer hear the suppressed crying outside. Was she asleep?

Living under the same roof, but falling asleep without even a sense of crisis?

What a strange person! Is it because she thinks I'm harmless?

Although it is indeed harmless to humans.

However, Hiroshi thought that it was because he did not choose to open the door. This is probably the reason why we should always leave some things for later meeting.

Although Yukino kept saying today that it was unnecessary to go through so much trouble, Hiroshi felt that the most basic thing for girls or anyone else in communication is respect.

Friendship is definitely based on a mechanism of mutual respect, and the relationship between them now is that of an employer and an employee, but they really live together, so let's be friends. A relationship of friendship always feels more humane than a relationship maintained by money.

But Yukinoshita Yukino knows how to keep her distance. She is there when she is needed, but once she realizes something, she will cleverly remain indifferent, like a piece of eternal ice, exuding an aura of "keep away from strangers".

How can one get along with her like this?

A girl with such a sharp tongue is really a headache.

What would she be like at this time?

While Hiroshi was thinking about how to create a more harmonious atmosphere between him and Yukino, Yukino next door was staring blankly at the ceiling.

That person didn't come out.

On the first night, living under the same roof, I surprisingly didn't feel the slightest sense of crisis.

Is Hiroshi a herbivore?

How could it be possible! She had heard of so many girls at school who were entangled with him. She had originally thought that he was a very unruly and philandering person, but after actually communicating with him, she found out that he was actually a fool and a pushover.

That guy won't do anything against the other person's wishes.

This is how Yukino sees him.

This is probably why she chose to live here.

Yukino heard everything that man said just now. He said, isn't it better to escape?

Yukino opened her mouth silently and repeated the sentence.

“Escape is shameful but useful.”

Is such that.

Isn't it good to escape?

is that useful?

Staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

After a long time, she closed her sore eyes and turned over.

That's true. Even if we have to escape, let's survive together. This is not the place to raise any objections.

"Thank you. It's really great to be entrusted with housework by you. If possible, I hope to continue working here."

It was late at night, and a few flashes of light streaked across the sky, as if they were shooting stars passing by.

Chapter 239 Gogen Hiroki's normal daily life

The next day, Hiroshi woke up very early; or perhaps he didn't sleep at all.

He was very scared because Yukinoshita Yukino's mind was very sensitive and fragile at her age. If she couldn't get over it, it would be no joke. There were many people who chose to end their lives hastily due to family abandonment and the pressure of survival.

Hiroshi remembered that last year, a couple from the neighboring school named Nishimiya Shoko and Ishida Shoya both jumped off a building. He didn't know what they were thinking, perhaps a suicide for love? Hiroshi didn't know the details.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, and it seemed that after that incident, the two of them were together happily. It's really enviable. It's great. It's great to be in love.

However, the cause of that incident was probably due to the pressure from the people around them, so it is not surprising that Hiroshi had such extreme thoughts at this age.

Fortunately, the balcony of this apartment is enclosed, and I didn’t hear the sound of my door opening last night. It can be said that everything was calm and peaceful. It’s really great.

He glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was just past six. He rubbed his sore eyes and quietly opened the door with a pair of panda eyes.

"Good morning, Mr. Gogen."

Instead of seeing the sleeping girl as he had imagined, Yukino was busy in the kitchen with swollen eyes just like him.

But what was surprising was that she actually greeted him, which made Hiroshi stunned and a little happy at the same time. It seemed that she had returned to normal. Did what he said last night work?

"Why don't you sleep more?"

Hiroshi spoke up. He had wanted to sneak a peek at someone's sleeping face, but it was embarrassing that the other person woke up earlier than him.

"When you wake up, you get up."

Yukino lowered her head and pretended to be seriously preparing the food. She also didn't want to reveal the fact that she hadn't slept all night.

OK, normal conversation proceeds with GET!

He cheered a little inwardly, and a hint of joy appeared on Haoshu's face.

"What do you want for breakfast this morning?"

"Toast and potato pancakes. For drinks, would you like milk, cocoa, or black tea?"

"Milk or cocoa."

"Ok."

Although it was just an ordinary conversation, it was very inspiring. Haoshu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed. He walked into the bathroom and looked at his slightly tired self in the mirror. He shook his head and smiled. He felt that he had worried for nothing all night and it was really great to be able to cheer up.

"What happened? You always seem very happy."

While eating breakfast, Yukino looked at Hiroshi strangely. This guy had been looking silly and happy since just now, and he looked so stupid.

"it's okay no problem."

He smiled and shook his head, picked up the toast and took a bite. The aroma of the food filled his mouth and his senses and mood were immersed in it.

"wack!"

Yukino muttered and shook her head, then cut some potato pancakes, put them on the plate and started eating them in small bites.

"By the way, I have to report to school today, what about you?"

After happily finishing the breakfast on the plate and taking a sip of the hot cocoa, Hao Shu raised his head and asked.

"I just need to stay home. I went to the school two days ago. I just need to wait for the notification. There were some sanitation work that was not done yesterday, so I did it at home."

"Is that so? That really troubles you."

"What's the trouble? You have to pay for all these."

Yukino waved her hand, stood up and started to clear the plates on the table.

"Yeah, that's right."

"Are you going to eat there or come back for lunch?"

"Come back, I'll just take care of some paperwork and be back soon. The administrator said our apartment is only about half an hour's drive from the school, so we should be able to make it back in time."

"Oh, so, give me some cash. I'm going to go to the supermarket to buy some food. Otherwise, after I finish cooking lunch today, I won't have anything to eat in the evening."

"Yeah, no problem. I'll put it on the table and you can go wherever you're done cleaning it up later."

"Ok."

He took out a few large bills from his wallet and handed them to her on the table, then continued to drink his cocoa slowly. Hiroshi looked at Yukino carefully, her daily conversations and all her normal actions; after confirming her condition again and again, he nodded with relief, and it seemed that he had really let it go.

He stood up and walked back to the room, fastened his tie in front of the mirror, checked if there was anything he had missed, put the materials into his briefcase and walked out.

"Then I'm going out. I'll trouble you at home."

"Leave it to me, be careful along the way."

Looking at Yukino standing at the entrance with an apron on her head to see him off, Hiroshi couldn't help but feel some strange emotions in his heart.

This kind of conversation, this kind of scene, is just like that of a couple.

Ahem, what am I thinking about?

He secretly blamed himself and shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind.

He and she are now just an employer-employee relationship, and at most they can be just ordinary friends. This kind of messy idea is unacceptable.

What we need to do now is to cheer up Yukinoshita Yukino, make her confident in life and the future! This is what we really need to do now.
