Looking at the brightened interior.

Mizukami Mai's beautiful eyes were half-open as she waited for Jiang Yuan's arrangements.

'The hero... alone?'

"Mai, I'm sorry, I only have a pair of slippers here."

Wear good shoes.

Jiang Yuan also realized that he hadn't bought new slippers yet, and since he had been living with Qi Luoluo for a while, the place hadn't been cleaned, so he wondered how dusty it was.

"It's ok."

shook his head.

Mizukami Mai didn't let Jiang Yuan let go of her hand.

Use your other hand to take off the shoes and arrange them neatly.

The pure white socks came into view, and they continued to wait for Jiang Yuan's "leadership".

"stare-" I know Mai must be getting curious about where she lives.

Jiang Yuan, who was already used to Mai's "staring intently" conveying meaning silently, gently squeezed Mai's soft, boneless hand and smiled:

"Let's go."

"Let Mai show me around my little house."

This is a typical standard rental apartment in Aomori Apartment.

One bedroom, one living room and one bathroom.

It's alright.

on the sofa.

At this moment, Mai Mizukami felt inexplicably at ease.

Knowing and arriving at the exact place where her beloved lived softened Mai Mizukami's heart considerably.

This is a completely different feeling from not knowing.

He looked around at the layout.

Although the riverbank hadn't been cleaned for a while, thankfully there wasn't much dust.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan usually keeps things tidy, so it looks quite clean and neat.

Some of the original oil paintings and photographs are still hanging on the wall.

The room, which was originally cold and quiet, became warmer with the arrival of the two.

"What would Mai like to drink?"

"Tea and coffee."

"As always, Mai's style."

With a light laugh, Jiang Yuan put the barley tea and coffee back in their places in the refrigerator, then handed a bottle of orange juice to Mizukami Mai.

"Then let's have orange juice."

Mai Mizukami accepted the carefully poured orange juice, her expression unchanged, just as Jiang Yuan had described it – the "Mai style".

"Please sit down for a moment."

Jiang Yuan glanced at the clock; it was already 16: 21 PM. He turned on the TV, said goodbye to Mai, and then went to buy groceries.

"Is there anything Mai would like to eat?"

Jiang Yuan patted Mai's head and said with a smile, "Today I'm going to show my girlfriend my cooking skills."

"Cooking for a brave man?"

Jiang Yuan noticed that Mai's eyes seemed to brighten slightly after she finished speaking.

Obviously.

Mai is interested in his cooking.

Perhaps it also refers to "girlfriend".

"Yes, I made Yuko's sausages and Mio's cake."

"Don't underestimate my cooking skills. If there were ten outstanding chefs here, I could probably get into the top three."

"While not exactly crushing Erina, he would easily defeat her."

As he spoke, he struck a confident pose, even under Mai Mizukami's "strange" gaze.

Although it's mostly bragging, he's still confident he can easily beat Erina.

should…

Despite hearing those words that she couldn't understand at all, which sounded like boasting, Mizukami Mai didn't say anything.

Jiang Yuan's sometimes childlike behavior actually made her feel more at ease and more genuine.

Even ordinary heroes can appear carefree and indifferent.

But deep down, he's probably suppressing something...

"I like everything that belongs to a hero."

"Yeah."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan was not surprised.

Without further hesitation, they prepared to set off.

While preparing, Jiang Yuan pointed to her room and said, "That's my room. Mai can rest there if she's tired."

"I'm going to buy groceries now. Mai, just call me on Line if you need anything."

Jiang Yuan didn't plan to let Mai go grocery shopping with him.

Could he say that he only remembered to buy groceries after bringing Mai home?

After taking his girlfriend upstairs, he would then make her come downstairs to accompany him to buy groceries and such.

He was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Hear the words.

The woman in the water-sleeved dress, who had originally intended to get up and join Jiang Yuan, paused for a moment before sitting down again.

With a calm look in her beautiful, slightly dazed eyes, she glanced at the door Jiang Yuan was pointing to, and said with a slight flicker, "Hmm."

"OK."

"Then I'm going."

Get a response.

Jiang Yuan smiled and walked towards the entrance, put her shoes back on, and thought to herself, 'Buying groceries is indeed my lifelong enemy.' She opened the door and was about to go out when...

"Da da da."

As light yet steady footsteps suddenly rang in Jiang Yuan's ears.

A unique, calm voice, seemingly a little dazed, rang out.

"come back earlier."

His body trembled.

The light from the crack in the door seeped into the back of Jiang Yuan's hand in an instant.

"Ah."

The riverbank turns back.

For some reason, Mizukami Mai sensed it.

Her hero.

A sense of daze, nostalgia, and gentleness...

"I will."

P. S.: New author, new book, please give me flowers, tips, and votes!

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The cicadas' chirping remained clear and crisp.

Dongyun Research Institute.

"Then I'm going to the supermarket."

Dongyun Ming had barely finished speaking.

"Hey!"

A bright, childlike voice rang out, and the professor, as if reporting to a teacher, raised his left hand and exclaimed with a smile, "The professor wants to go too!"

Hear the words.

Sitting in the entryway with her back to the professor, Shinonome Nana said casually as she put on her shoes, "Because the professor did something wrong, he won't buy you anything."

"Sakamoto is so pitiful~"

"I'm talking about you."

Sakamoto's helpless rebuttal followed.

After tidying up her clothes, Shinonome Nono turned around and smiled as she looked at the professor and Mr. Sakamoto.

"Let's go then."

……

on the trail.

The sunlight was fairly bright, and pale white clouds drifted slowly by.

What should Nano buy?

"I should probably just buy fish..."

"What should the professor buy..."

The large white lab coat enveloped the doctor's petite frame, her small hands tucked into the wide sleeves. The doctor happily tugged at the sleeves, making a "tap-tap-tap" sound as she walked along.

She exuded a faint, clear air, and her glass-like eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Huh?!" But after the doctor finished speaking, Shinonome was stunned.

"Doctor, we can't buy it today."

"Eh…" The doctor lowered his brow.

"Then what about buying other things instead of snacks?"

Even if it's not a snack, you can't buy it today.

Upon hearing this, the doctor stopped abruptly.

"PhD?"

Higashion Mei looked back in confusion.

"Then I don't know what to buy..." The doctor's cute big eyes turned into little vertical lines as he looked at her with distress.

A bead of cold sweat immediately appeared on Shinonome Nana's forehead: "So you still want to buy things after all..."

……

"Special Shark Cake!"
