Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

"Teacher Qingshan, dong dong dong——"

Lin Qingshan quickly put down the kitchen knife in his hand and opened the door.

Ayumi Ito took a bag and walked to the door.

"Excuse me, Teacher Aoyama."

Since it was a holiday, she did not wear professional attire today. Instead, she wore a simple T-shirt and tight-fitting jeans, carrying a women's shoulder bag. She looked a little younger and more beautiful than usual.

After all, Ito Ayumi is just a 22-year-old young girl now.

But after Ayumi Ito came in, she subconsciously took off her canvas shoes.

Lin Qingshan said quickly, "Ah, Ito-san, you don't need to take off your shoes, just come in."

Ayumi Ito was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that this was a republic, not Japan, her hometown.

Mainly, this is the first time she has officially been a guest in someone else's home after coming to the magic city for so long.

She didn't have any scruples when she went to Lin Qingshan's old and small rental house. She went in wearing high heels.

But now Lin Qingshan has moved to a large and sunny rental house, and he has kept the rental house quite neat and clean.

Therefore, Ayumi Ito subconsciously paid attention to it. According to the custom of her hometown, she had to take off her shoes when entering other people's homes.

Now that she was reminded by Lin Qingshan, she reacted.

This is not my hometown in Japan. You have to take off your shoes when entering other people's homes.

But...even if it's a magical city, you should still have to change your shoes when entering someone else's house.

"Ah... I don't have any slippers for you at home."

Lin Qingshan patted his head and said, "Then just come in like this."

"Is it really possible?"

Ayumi Ito was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, just mop the floor then. After all, I don't have any other slippers here. Could it be that I go out and buy them for you now?"

Lin Qingshan shrugged and said.

"No... no need."

Ayumi Ito said a little embarrassed.

So she blushed and walked in wearing canvas shoes with some discomfort.

"Woof woof!"

Pochita also got to know Ayumi Ito during this time. After Ayumi Ito came in, she ran up to her and waggled her tail happily.

"Pochita."

Ayumi Ito also liked Pochita very much and rubbed its little head that felt good.

Lin Qingshan said with some curiosity, "Ito-san, why did you come so early today? Didn't you agree that you only need to come at 11 noon?"

This was agreed upon on the phone before. At 11 o'clock, he had prepared the ingredients and put them into the pot. He only had to chat with Ito Ayumi and Gu Qianli, who happened to be here, and then he could eat.

But Lin Qingshan took out his phone and looked at it. It was 9:53... Well, it was almost an hour early.

Ayumi Ito first handed the bag in her hand to Lin Qingshan, "Teacher Qingshan, these are the lemons and mint leaves you said you wanted to buy."

"Is that why you came here so early?"

Lin Qingshan scratched his head, "No need to, I just wanted you to drop by and buy something when the time comes."

"No, it's mainly because of what I told you last time, Mr. Qingshan, about the text interview..."

Ayumi Ito took out an answer sheet from her satchel.

"So that's it...but there's no need to do it so early. And didn't we agree last time that you could just send it to me to fill it out?"

Lin Qingshan suddenly understood, but then he still said with some confusion.

"I thought it would be convenient to stop by this time, so I brought it with me."

Ayumi Ito said honestly.

Lin Qingshan glanced at her in surprise, thinking that this Japanese girl was really down-to-earth.

During this kind of weekend break, you have to take up your own personal time to complete the work.

Ordinary people would probably choose to mail it during working hours, so that they can find reasons to fish without taking up their own personal time.

"Teacher, are you free now? Why don't you complete this interview sheet first?"

Ayumi Ito asked cautiously.

But at this moment...

“Dong dong dong—Qingshan?”

The sound of knocking on the door came again, and this time it was Gu Qianli's voice.

Lin Qingshan scratched his head, Ito Ayumi let it go, why did Gu Qianli arrive so early?

But he went and opened the door anyway.

Gu Qianli was no different from before, as full of youth and vigor as a female college student, as beautiful and charming as ever.

When she came in, she saw Ito Ayumi and said hello first, "Hi, Ayumi."

"Hi Chisato."

Ayumi Ito responded with some restraint.

To be honest, they were not very familiar with each other during this period.

After all, apart from weekends, they had crossed paths several times because of Lin Qingshan, but without Lin Qingshan, they had never crossed paths again.

This kind of relationship is naturally not considered a close relationship.

Gu Qianli has a more outgoing personality, and she doesn't feel there is anything embarrassing or restrictive about this relationship.

But Ayumi Ito is different from Gu Qianli, so she is a bit restrained.

Seeing Gu Qianli's appearance, Pochita, who was originally at Ayumi Ito's feet, immediately ran towards Gu Qianli, shouting "woof woof" even more cheerfully.

You can clearly hear the joy in its cry.

It seemed that it knew that Gu Qianli was the real owner who had supported it before.

In other words, it regarded Gu Qianli as its master and one of its masters just like Lin Qingshan.

Gu Qianli directly picked up Pochita and rubbed it, "Pochita, I'm here, did you miss me~"

"Woof woof~"

Pochita seemed to understand what Gu Qianli was saying, and barked happily as if responding to Gu Qianli.

"Qianli, please come in first. By the way, you don't need to change your shoes. I didn't buy indoor slippers for guests."

Lin Qingshan said with some distress, "It seems that I will have to buy some disposable slippers by then."

"No, I'll bring a pair of slippers to your house next time."

Gu Qianli said with a smile, "After all, I have to visit Pochita every week. When the classes are not so full next semester, I may come to see Pochita when I don't have classes."

"Oh well."

Lin Qingshan had no objections.

Ayumi Ito heard what Gu Qianli said at this time, "Then... Then why don't I bring my own slippers..."

"Okay, Ito-san, you will come to my house often after all."

Lin Qingshan said casually.

"Eh? Qingshan, what's that in your hand?"

Gu Qianli saw the interview questionnaire in Lin Qingshan's hand at this time and asked curiously.

"This?"

Lin Qingshan raised the interview answer sheet in his hand and said, "It is said that I will do a text interview for the next issue of "Edge Walker"."

"Can I see it?"

Gu Qianli asked.

"Can."

Lin Qingshan directly handed the interview answer sheet in his hand to Gu Qianli.
