Start with a rent-collecting magical girl

Chapter 7 Lies
  On the subway, although 16 o'clock in the afternoon is not the evening rush hour, due to the unified school dismissal time, there are still a large number of students in various uniforms pouring in, making the carriage slightly crowded.

Although Chen Ziran was not tall or strong among the boys, he still protected his childhood sweetheart in the corner, blocking the crowd with his body and creating a comfortable space for Xu Jiajia.

While the girl's heart warmed, she couldn't help but fall into memories. Her childhood sweetheart had done this kind of caring thing not just once or twice, but since childhood.

Although Chen Ziran is younger than her, he is the one who takes care of her most of the time. He gives her delicious food, shares toys with her as soon as possible, lends her homework to copy when she is ignorant and naughty, and helps her when she skips class. He lied to the teacher, and when someone confessed his love, he rushed to reject it for her.

Until the tragedy happened later
  It was also Chen Ziran who accompanied her through the darkest time.

"Thank you, Ziran." Xu Jiajia let out a long breath, and the girl who leaned against the wall of the carriage put away the treasured memories in her clear eyes.

"Jiajia, I will be angry if you see me outside like this again."

"."

The girl was a little silent, especially when she saw Chen Ziran defending herself like this, the guilt in her heart increased.

Xu Jiajia wanted to tell her childhood sweetheart everything.

After all, this is the person she trusts the most.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is treated as a biological brother.

Can.
  The more this happened, the less she could say anything.

She didn't dare to imagine what her childhood sweetheart would do if Chen Ziran knew that she was the roommate Liao Baiyu mentioned before.

Therefore, it must be concealed.

Just one month anyway
  As long as the nightmare beast disaster at Crescent Private School is solved, she will move out immediately!
  Even if they were sharing a house and Liao Baiyu had really bad intentions towards her, Xu Jiajia still had the confidence and confidence.

after all.

She is a magical girl!

If you can't even protect yourself in front of ordinary people, how can you face the brutal nightmare beast.

so.
  When Xu Jiajia raised her head again, a relaxed smile had appeared on the girl's beautiful face.

Don't worry, Ziran!

I.
  It'll be okay!
  After this battle is over, I will go back and treat you to a feast to make up for the lies I told you during this period!

After encouraging herself, the girl felt much better. She chatted a lot with Chen Ziran while taking the subway.

Liao Baiyu must have been mentioned among them. The girl very frankly expressed her dislike for Liao Baiyu and told Chen Ziran to have less contact with Liao Baiyu.

Happy time is always short-lived.

As the station announced, Chen Ziran helped Qingmei squeeze a way out of the car and watched Xu Jiajia get off the bus when she arrived. Until the car door closed, he kept waving and telling the girl to pay attention to safety on the way home.

It turned out that the two of them did live in the same building and were very close to each other.

But after that "tragedy" happened, Xu Jiajia moved away alone.

The subway moves forward slowly.

The figure of the girl on the platform was left behind.

Until here, the gentle smile on Chen Ziran's face gradually disappeared.

The boy took out another mobile phone that seemed to be a spare one from the inside of his backpack.

As soon as he turned on the phone, the picture that served as the screen saver was his childhood sweetheart.

The girl is wearing a junior high school uniform. Although she is still very immature, she can definitely see the embryonic form of beauty.

However, Xu Jiajia was in a very bad condition in the photo. She was standing by the stream under the waning moon. The night stretched her lonely back. The girl's slightly lowered head allowed the shadow of her short hair to cover her cheeks.

Gloomy, desolate.

It seemed like the next moment, I would walk barefoot into a cold stream.

This is the one that Chen Ziran is most satisfied with.

Then he clicked on the gallery, which contained many photos of green plums.

Each picture album has a corresponding name for Xu Jiajia in kindergarten, Xu Jiajia in elementary school, and Xu Jiajia in junior high school.

but
  The content of the photos is "descending" in sequence.

In kindergarten, the lively and cute little Loli was surrounded by many children. You had to look carefully to see where Chen Ziran was. In addition, there were many kind teachers and happy parents at the graduation ceremony. In elementary school, although the little girl looked more beautiful, she only had two or three friends around her. Even including her teachers and parents, she could easily find Chen Ziran among them.

In junior high school, in the gray photo, the girl is sobbing in the arms of her teacher. Next to her, Chen Ziran is holding an umbrella silently, and behind her are some other classmates.

It’s like being able to draw happy energy from beautiful photos.

The same is true for Chen Ziran.

After admiring these collections of his pictures, Chen Ziran felt much happier.

Afterwards, the boy slid his finger to create a new album called "Crescent Private" before putting his phone back into its original hidden side pocket.

The speeding subway poured into the dark tunnel.

further and further.

On the other side, on the platform, Xu Jiajia finally breathed a sigh of relief after pretending to get off the bus.

This should count.
  Was it successfully deceived?
  wrong.

bah bah bah!
  Thinking of her childhood sweetheart's concern for her in the car, the girl was upset that she could use the word "liar".

all in all.

Xu Jiajia clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and then quickly reached the other side of the platform. She took the bus in the opposite direction, heading back towards the direction of Crescent Private Private School when she came from.

The JK girl who opened the door and carried her schoolbag was already prepared for a "fight" and tried her best to protect herself from the landlord's unreasonable demands.

But unexpectedly, the fragrance wafting from the living room made Xu Jiajia freeze in the entrance hall.

Taking off her shoes in confusion, the girl stepped on the smooth floor with her black silk feet wrapped in stockings. She walked towards the room, and what she saw was a table of hot meals.

Of course, there are also boys wearing cooking aprons under the range hood, cooking in a pot.

"I'm home?"

Liao Baiyu did not turn around, and continued to focus on the stir-fried cabbage in the pot. After skillfully adding a little more than a spoonful of the condiments in his hand, he seemed to spare some time and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"It's a lot faster than I expected. Go put down your schoolbag and everything first. After washing your hands, sit over at the dining table and wait. I'll be finished here soon."

Xu Jiajia: "."

Being immediately thrown off her feet, the slightly confused girl subconsciously asked: "What are you doing?"

Liao Baiyu didn't say anything. After pouring the fried cabbage into the plate, he showed it to the girl in kind.

The cabbage is green and oily in color, and Xu Jiajia, who has a lot of cooking skills, can tell at a glance that the heat is just right. Although the specific taste has to be tasted to know, at least it passes the test in terms of appearance.

wrong.

and many more!

It has nothing to do with stir-fried cabbage!
  What she just asked meant, why are you cooking!
  In the rental contract, she should be fully responsible for housework and the like.

On the opposite side, Liao Baiyu, as if he could read his heart, went to the rice cooker to fill the rice and said:

"I don't know when you and your little boyfriend will come back. If you go out to eat, do I have to stay here waiting for you to come back?"

Little. Little boyfriend?
  Liao Baiyu didn't believe that people would immediately blush after hearing a dirty joke.

But looking at the look of the girl opposite, she really looks like a young girl who is just starting out. Even such words can make her become embarrassed and turn into a steam girl. It seems that Chen Ziran, who is a sweetheart, is indeed more gentlemanly. Don't joke about this with Qingmei.

It's a pity that this classic type, in many comics criticized by Liao Baiyu, basically can't survive more than ten pages, and the minotaur can easily take advantage of it.

As a warrior of pure love, Liao Baiyu sighed in his heart.

Thank you for meeting me.

Then, as expected, the girl took the bait with just one sentence.

"Ziran and I don't have the kind of relationship you imagined! We are just good friends! I have always regarded him as my younger brother!" Xu Jiajia became anxious and explained angrily.

"Oh."

"The rice is in the pot. I don't know how much you eat. Go and serve it yourself."

Liao Baiyu nodded, then sat back on the dining table and started to cook.
