My retirement life in Neon

The door hadn't been opened yet, but the sound of turning the key made Xiaobai, who was on the second floor, run down. When the door opened, Lin Zian put his schoolbag on the table, lay on the sofa, picked up Xiaobai and stroked her hard for a few times, and Xiaobai snored comfortably.

Just now, Hosokawa Rio had separated from him at a crossroads in front. Lin Zian wanted to invite her in for a cup of tea. The tea was brought by Yukino Takemi. Lin Zian didn't open it to see, and kept it aside, but it should be good stuff.

Last time when Gong Zong Lie came over, he didn't make tea, but just took a can of Coke to perfunctory her. After all, in Lin Zian's opinion, Gong Zong Lie was not someone he could make tea with.

Hosokawa Rio was different. She was very good to him. Lin Zian always regarded her as a sister, and compared with Oda Rena, Hosokawa Rio was much more obedient.

Lin Zian took out the cookies that Hosokawa Rio gave him and ate two pieces. They were delicious, but Lin Zian didn't like sweet things very much.

After tying the cookies again and putting them aside, Lin Zian took out his phone and started chatting with Oda Reina. Recently, Oda Reina rarely took the initiative to chat with him, and Lin Zian was a little worried that she would regress again.

Relationships between people are completed through communication. It is difficult for a person who cannot communicate to live in modern society.

In the past, Lin Zian would tell her some interesting things about school or recent hot news to help her reestablish normal communication skills. In the past, she would reply to him within three or five sentences. Although most of the time, Lin Zian was the only one talking, but strangely, no one replied to the message Lin Zian sent today.

Oda Reina was alone at home. Lin Zian was afraid of any accidents, so he decided to go over to see her. Anyway, she was next to her, and he took the apron with him.

…………

Oda Reina looked at the photo on the phone. From the angle, it should be taken by Hosokawa Rio, when Hosokawa Rio and Lin Zian were walking together. The two seemed to be talking and laughing.

This was what Rio Hosokawa sent to her just now. Although Rena Oda blocked her several times, she still quietly blocked her in the end because Rio Hosokawa often told her about Lin Zian's school life.

After that incident, most of the conversations between her and Rio Hosokawa were spoken by Rio Hosokawa herself, and she almost never answered.

Rio Hosokawa was even worse than Lin Zian. At least Rena Oda would reply to Lin Zian's conversations, but Rio Hosokawa didn't seem to care. Maybe she treated her as a tree hole and would tell her everything.

"I gave a cookie to Qingtian classmate, and he accepted it."

"Qingtian classmate also gave me an apron."

"Qingtian classmate sent me home." There was also a picture attached to it, which was the one just now.

Rena Oda, in the spirit of out of sight, out of mind, exited the conversation interface with Rio Hosokawa and ignored the red dot prompt on Lin Zian's dialog box.

She was very angry now, the kind that three puddings couldn't save her.

"Ding" the message alert sounded again. Although she didn't want to read it, her hand still opened the page uncontrollably.

It was a message from Rio Hosokawa.

"Does it look good?" Attached to it was a photo of Rio Hosokawa wearing an apron.

Ah... I'm so angry! Now even five puddings can't save her.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Oda Rena shrank back into the quilt at the first time, and then got out of bed and got up again, because Lin Zian's voice came.

"Is Rena at home?" Lin Zian started talking nonsense, but in fact, this was to give Oda Rena time to react. He continued to talk when there was a sound behind the door.

"Is Rena okay?"

"It's okay."

No matter how many times you hear Rena Oda's voice, you will feel that it is very unique, with a soft and sticky feeling.

"It's good that you are okay. I brought you some cookies. These are made by Rio. Remember to say thank you to Rio after you eat them. There is also an apron I made for your mother." Lin Zian put the things on the steps at the door.

After waiting outside the door for a while, Oda Reina had no intention of talking to him. Lin Zian still had things to do and didn't want to waste time here.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go over first. Call me if you have something."

"Wait!" Oda Reina suddenly said behind the door.

"What's the matter?" Lin Zian certainly wanted to communicate with her more, and his business was not urgent.

"What kind of person is Hosokawa Rio? Do you have a good relationship with her?"

"As for the relationship, it's just an ordinary classmate, but Rio is a good person, you can communicate with her more."

"Is she a good person?" Oda Reina's tone suddenly rose a few points.

"What's the matter?" Lin Zian originally felt that the two people's personalities were a bit similar, so he asked Hosokawa Rio to communicate more with Oda Reina.

But now there seems to be something wrong between the two people. He doesn't know what happened between the two people. There should be no contradictions except that thing!

"Did Rio do something that you hate?" Lin Zian asked carefully.

"No." Oda Reina didn't tell Lin Zian about the things that Hosokawa Rio sent her. After all, it was nothing.

Oni-san is such a fool.

"Don't bear some things by yourself. Tell me if you can." Lin Zian could tell that she was hiding something, and he didn't want to force her to tell him. Anyway, he would know why the two of them were like this after asking Hosokawa Rio.

Lin Zian chatted with Oda Reina for a while, talking about the neon-style Chinese taught by Miyazo Rie when he was taking an elective class today, and specifically talked about the mistakes she made, and finally succeeded in making Oda Reina laugh.

Listening to Oda Reina's suppressed laughter coming from behind the door, Lin Zian felt that it was still tiring to play with children.

Looking at the time, it was estimated that Oda Michiko would be back soon, so Lin Zian said goodbye to Oda Reina and returned to his home.

To be honest, Lin Zian is a little afraid of seeing Oda Michiko now. Last time, he was caught in bed... No... It was caught with evidence... No... It was... Anyway, it was not a good thing.

With the presence of witnesses and evidence, he always felt a little guilty when facing her.

After all, no matter what the purpose was, his behavior that day was child molestation in the eyes of Oda Michiko, and it was no wonder that she was so wary of him.

After returning home, she started cooking at Xiaobai's urging. She fed Xiaobai first before he sat on the chair in the dining room. Although the table was full of dishes, Lin Zian still felt that something was missing. After thinking for a while, he slowly started to eat.

After making sure that Lin Zian had left, Oda Reina quickly took back the things on the steps.

She unpacked the folded apron and put it on herself, but the problem was that she was only 140cm tall at most, and the apron that Lin Zian made according to her mother's figure was dragged on her.

Oda Reina took off the apron, threw it on the ground, stomped her feet hard on the spot, and said "idiot!" three times in a row. Then her little face bulged like an angry pufferfish, and her whole face looked round.

Oda Reina ignored the apron on the ground, but ran back to the bedroom and shrank back into bed. After a while, she seemed to remember something, got up, and brought in the cookies from the corridor.

Hum! The cookies you gave him are now in my hands. I'll eat them up if I don't finish them. Oda Reina tore open the brown paper and stuffed handfuls of cookies into her mouth, as if she was treating the cookies as Hosokawa Rio, completely forgetting Lin Zian's advice not to eat so many snacks before dinner.

After finishing a bag of cookies, she finally felt relieved. In fact, there were only about ten cookies in a bag, which was not a lot, but it was still a bit full for her.

It was quite delicious. Oda Reina immediately shook her head and drove away the thought just now.

"Humph! Forget it, let you go." Oda Reina threw the bag into the trash can.

"I have eaten all the cookies you gave me."

"I also have an apron."

"Stay away from Oni-san in the future. You and him are just ordinary classmates."

Oda Reina put down her phone. She made a great determination to send these words.

Oda Reina thought about it, and still got up, picked up the apron thrown in the corridor, folded it again, and put it on the table in the living room.

When can I wear it? Oda Reina looked at the apron on the table and thought about how she would look when she put it on.

…………

After dinner, it was time to pet the cat again. Lin Zian's hands wandered around Xiaobai's body and found that Xiaobai had gained a lot of weight. When he first came, he was skinny and bony, unlike other kittens with fluffy and plump fur, and his fur was dull.

Now, he looks like a piglet, but kittens are supposed to be more active, but Xiaobai is just a salted fish, and can only lie on Lin Zian's body.
