LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 59: 59
Standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, the other person's figure was infinitely extended, looking full of confusion and sorrow, which made Qingura Mai, who was standing in place, stunned for a moment. After slowly coming to her senses, she gradually frowned, followed the other person's line of sight again, and looked towards the direction of Kento's apartment.
"...."
After a moment of silence, she reconfirmed the other person's gaze. The other person's eyes were indeed looking at the room where Kento lived.
Qingpu Mai has always been bothered by the 'fact' that she guessed from Kento's skillful technique last time. Now, seeing a strange woman standing at the intersection and looking at Kento's apartment, Qingpu Mai suddenly became extremely alert.
Walking slowly towards the other person, she took the initiative to talk to him.
"Hello."
The sudden voice from behind brought Sayuri, who was so absent-minded that she didn't even know what she was doing there, back to her senses and looked back at the person who appeared behind her.
The long hair tied up in a bun and the white-collar work attire made Sayuri a little surprised. She slowly nodded towards the other party.
"Hello."
"Excuse me, are you looking at that apartment? Are you looking for someone who lives there? What can I do for you?"
Qingpu Mai did not directly say Kento's name because she was not sure whether the other party knew Kento. She also wanted to test whether the other party knew that was where Kento lived and knew Kento.
Looking at the person behind her, Sayuri slowly opened her folding fan and covered her face. Looking at the other person's vigilant eyes and the other person's tentative remarks, she realized that the other person might have some relationship with the boy living there that she didn't know about.
"Yes, I was looking at that apartment, but I didn't have any intention of communicating with the people living there. I just came here for a walk for some reason and saw that place. I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, so I took a closer look. Madam, do you know anyone there?"
"There is some connection. The person living there is my daughter's boyfriend."
"My daughter's boyfriend?"
Sayuri was a little surprised. Looking at the woman in front of her, she was sure that she was not very old. She might even be about the same age as her. Then her daughter should be about the same age as her daughter, and about the same age as Eriri.
Looking back at the apartment, and then at the woman in front of her, she thought of the scene she saw last time, the scene of a girl and a boy hugging each other, and Sayuri showed a look of realization.
"Neighbor?"
"Yes, it's a neighbor."
For some reason, Qingpu Mai felt that the young-looking woman in front of her made her a little concerned. She nodded and suddenly spoke, inviting the person in front of her.
"Are you interested in visiting my home? If you have any questions about that place, maybe I can give you some answers."
Faced with the sudden invitation, Sayuri couldn't help but be surprised. She looked at the woman in front of her, then turned back to look at the apartment that made her feel familiar and that she had been quite concerned about recently.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly shook his head.
"No, although I am also curious about some things and want to talk to you, ma'am, I'm sorry, there are still some things to deal with at home, so I have to go back now."
"I see. That's a pity."
Although Qingpu Mai was not disappointed when the invitation was rejected, she just looked back in the direction of her home and pointed gently with her right hand.
"My home is right there. If you have time, you can come and visit me."
"If I have time, definitely."
Smiling and nodding to Kiyoura Mai, Sayuri withdrew her gaze, looked back at Kento's apartment again, turned silently and walked away. She was going back, and it was almost time to prepare dinner and take care of Eriri.
I don't know what's going on with my daughter Ying Lili. I always feel like she is avoiding me. It's not that I can't see her, but every day when I get home, she just hides in her room.
"You asked me to prepare two lunch boxes today. Could it be that you have a boyfriend?"
On the way home, I thought about what the lady had just said to me. Her daughter and Eriri always seemed to be about the same age. There might be a slight difference, but it was definitely not much. Her daughter had a boyfriend, and she didn't have any special objection to her own daughter having a boyfriend.
If that was the person Eriri liked, then it would be more accurate to say that Sayuri herself was looking forward to her daughter finding a boyfriend she liked and quickly deepening their relationship.
A home with only two people is too lonely. It would be a good thing if there could be some new ones so that she could experience the feeling of being a grandmother early. Thinking about the lonely time she spent sitting in the living room, she hoped that Ying Lili could have two more children if possible.
At home, Ying Lili was sitting in her room when she suddenly felt a chill, not knowing where it came from. She glanced at her room and continued painting gloomily.
Some time ago, she had been creating themes about daughters and mothers fighting over their lovers. During this period, she began to paint themes about daughters secretly having affairs with their mothers' lovers behind their mothers' backs. The change in themes and mentality can only be said to be something that cannot be told to outsiders.
After watching Sayuri's figure disappear, Qingura Mai slowly returned to her home. When she opened the door, the house was empty and there was no sign of her daughter.
She slowly changed her clothes and threw her pantyhose into the clothes rack in the bathroom. After putting on her home clothes, she walked to the refrigerator.
"I forgot to prepare the ingredients. I was thinking about preparing them yesterday, but I forgot when I got home? If I go to buy them now, they will all be discounted ingredients that are not very fresh, right?"
Qingpu Mai hesitated for a moment and decided to go to Kento first.
She walked out of her room, went down the stairs, stood at the intersection, and looked at Kento's apartment. She was still a little concerned about the strange woman just now. Looking at the other person, she always had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. The feeling of depression in her heart made Qingpu Mai speed up her pace and come to Kento's door.
I rang the doorbell and entered Kento's home. Inside the house, I saw Shanshan sitting in the living room, reading a book, and Kento sitting at the desk, writing furiously.
Looking at Qingpu Wu who entered the house, Shanna slowly raised his head, glanced at her, then silently lowered his head and continued reading.
As for Kento, he didn't notice Qingura Mai's arrival at all.
"Kento, do you have any food left at home?"
"Hmm... hm? Miss Mai, you're here. Ingredients... Ingredients, right? I just bought some fresh ingredients today and put them in the refrigerator."
"Let me prepare dinner, you continue, there is no need to waste time on these little things, come on."
"Uh... yeah."
Seeing Qing Pu Mai taking the initiative to prepare dinner for him, Kento felt that she must not know what he wrote, so she took the initiative. If she knew what he wrote...
Looking down at the content that had already reached about 50,000 words, Kento slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, it is enough to have content of about 100,000 words, but the income is relatively less than those of content of about 200,000 words.
'You should try to write more.'
Thinking of this, Kento lowered his head and continued writing quietly.
Until Qingura Mai prepared dinner and sat at the dining table, Kento lowered his head and was still immersed in his previous idea. He felt a little confused. When he didn't look at Qingura Mai and Qingura Setsuna, Qingura Mai, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly spoke.
"By the way, Kento, I met a strange woman downstairs of your house today. She has been looking at your house. Do you know her?"
"Um?"
Kento slowly raised his head, somewhat concerned about Qingura Mai's words, and suddenly thought of the previous theft of his underwear.
"who?"
"A woman wearing a brightly colored kimono with flowers and pigtails. Oh, and holding a folding fan in her hand."
"...."
Under Qingpu Mai's gaze, the boy in front of her suddenly became stiff in expression. He smiled at her with an awkward and perfunctory smile, then quickly lowered his head.
"have no idea."
It's not that I don't know you, but that I don't know you?
At this moment, Kento's inappropriate answer not only made Qingpu Mai, but even Qingpu Setsuna who was sitting next to him, become concerned.
Two pairs of sharp eyes fell on Kento, staring at him closely.

I ran away and got my house stolen, do you know how to play?

Kento himself didn't want to say anything, and Qingura Mai and Setsuna didn't ask any further questions. They just kept the matter in their hearts. Their eyes stayed on Kento for a moment, then they looked silently in front of them and continued to have dinner quietly.
After dinner, Setsuna and Kiyoura Mai returned home together, leaving Kento sitting alone in his room, lost in thought for a long time.
He pinched his eyebrows. He didn't know why Sayuri appeared nearby and was noticed by Qingura Mai. But since the other party appeared nearby, it meant that Sayuri might have noticed him.
"Is it the same situation as Eriri?"
Kento sat in his room in silence, not knowing what was going on. But if Sayuri's situation was really the same as Eriri's, then things would become troublesome.
His mood was a little complicated, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He wanted Sayuri to remember him and come to him actively, but he didn't want the peace he had chosen to be broken. He lowered his head silently, his eyes wandered for a moment, and he looked at the desk and opened his drawer.
"...."
Looking at the thick manuscript paper lying inside, Kento just took a look and closed the drawer again. He was not in a good mood at the moment and didn't know what to write.
I glanced at the alarm clock on the table and saw that it was still early. Even if I lay down on my bed, I didn't really feel like sleeping.
"Let's go out for a while."
After taking his wallet and turning off the lights in the apartment, Kento walked outside alone.
Walking forward, he unknowingly arrived at the door of a convenience store. At the familiar welcoming bell, Kento stepped into the convenience store, glanced in the direction of the cashier counter, and saw the familiar figure.
It was the same clerk he met the previous two times. He also noticed his presence. After seeing Kento entering the convenience store, there was some surprise in his eyes. At the same time, his face suddenly turned red. He quickly lowered his head and avoided his sight, which made Kento a little puzzled.
"...."
Not caring about what the shop assistant thought, Kento started browsing in the convenience store.
In the magazine and photo area, Kento's gaze lingered for a moment on those photos of people wearing swimsuits and bikinis. He reached out and picked up one at random, looked at the models on it, and flipped through it casually. The content was basically the same, except that the poses were a little provocative, there was no novelty.
Kento, who has no interest in swimsuits, doesn't know why so many people like to look at swimsuit photos. He looked carefully at the models' figures, which seem good, but just average.
He had the time to spend money looking at this kind of photos. He felt that even if he just found a quiet place, drank coffee and watched the high school girls passing by on the street, it would be more comfortable than this.
He flipped through it casually, then put the photo back to its place, and picked up another weekly comic. He remembered the pen name of Umetaro Nozaki, which seemed to be 'Yumeno Sakiko'... He flipped through the comic in his hand, but did not see this name.
"I forgot to ask him which comic magazine it was last time."
I only know that it is a girls' comic, but I don't know which girls' comic it is.
He took the weekly comic in his hand and felt that some of the content inside seemed quite interesting. He could buy it back to kill some time. As for the rest...
"Ah, Miyamizu-kun, you're here too!"
A familiar voice rang in his ears. He turned around and found it was Saionji Sekai. The other party was wearing a gray home suit and seemed to have come to the convenience store to buy something and met him by chance.
Kento, who did not expect to meet an acquaintance, was also surprised after seeing the Saionji world and nodded to the other party.
"Good evening."
"Has she rested yet?"
"She should be resting at home. At this point, it's almost her rest time."
Saionji Sekai slowly came to Kento's side. She couldn't sleep at home anyway, so after some hesitation, she picked up her telescope and stared at Kento's apartment for a while, but she didn't expect to find that Kento had gone out.
So, after determining Kento's route and arriving at the convenience store, she hurriedly rushed out of her room, rushed to the convenience store, and saw Kento flipping through a photo album.
At first, I didn't know how to strike up a conversation with the other person, especially when I saw Kento staring at the photo carefully. I always felt that it would be awkward if I spoke at this time.
So, she waited for a while, and when she saw Kento pick up the comic, she went up to him and started chatting with him.
"Miyamizu-kun, are you out buying comic books?"
"No, I just didn't know what to do, so I came out for a walk. I saw this interesting comic book, so I wanted to buy one and take a look at it. Where's Saionji?"
"Me? I couldn't sleep either, so I came out to buy some milk. I didn't expect to run into Miyamizu-kun."
The clerk standing behind the cashier counter stared at Saionji Sekai for a while. She had been watching Saionji Sekai's actions after she entered the store, and she understood that the girl seemed to be interested in the boy.
Glancing at the boy who bought the largest size and bought two, she thought that he should be someone he was dating, or a close female friend, and the relationship between the girl and the boy did not seem that close, so Kento was not the person the boy would use the props for.
As if he knew some completely meaningless gossip, the clerk lowered his head silently and stopped paying attention to the situation over there.
"Is that so? Then buy some milk and go back early. It's dangerous for a girl to be alone at night."
Knowing the purpose of Saionji Sekai's visit to the convenience store, Kento didn't care much. He silently picked up the comic weekly, smiled at Saionji Sekai, and walked towards the cashier.
Looking at Kento who reacted calmly and kept his distance, Saionji Sekai couldn't help but bite her lips and slowly walked towards the area where milk was visited.
After placing the comic book on the counter, the clerk looked at Kento with some surprise. He didn't expect that he would be so... honest?
Didn't he realize the girl's feelings?
Scan the QR code.
"420 yen."
He took out his wallet, put the money on the table, picked up the comic book, put away the invoice, and looked back, and saw Saionji Sekai who just walked out.
"Well, I'll be leaving first. You should go home early and remember to rest."
"....Um."
Looking at Kento who was able to keep a distance from her, Saionji Sekai couldn't help but pursed her lips, forced a smile on her face, said goodbye to Kento, and watched his figure sink into the darkness and disappear.
