“Eh…eh…eh…”

Mikiko Mizuyu turned her head and saw that one of the chair legs was wobbling precariously, for some unknown reason.

The girl immediately put down her shopping basket, walked to the chair, and stabilized the chair legs.

Upon seeing this, the convenience store employee immediately jumped off the chair.

Seeing that everyone else had landed safely, Mikiko Mizuyu let go of the chair leg, and the young man opposite her walked up.

"Thank you, thank you. If it weren't for you, Miss, I think I would have tripped and fallen."

Mikiko Mizuki stood up and smiled.

"It's good that you're alright."

Mikiko then noticed that the convenience store employee who walked over was a handsome blond man. Perhaps it was because of his good looks, but Mikiko thought the employee had a very gentle smile that made her feel good about him.

"It's nothing, it's because of your help, Miss. I'm just expressing my gratitude."

The blond handsome man looked at Mikiko Mizuyu's shopping basket.

"Can I pay for your shopping?"

Mikiko Mizuyu did not refuse.

"Okay, then I'd like to buy some more snacks."

The blond hunk smiled, revealing his teeth.

"Miss, please buy as much as you like. I'll cover all the snacks for today."

Mikiko Mizuyu wasn't one to push her luck. She picked out some more inexpensive snacks and then went to the convenience store cashier to ask the blond guy to pay.

As they were leaving, the blond handsome man asked Mikiko Mizuyu a question.

"Miss, my name is Kindaichiro. I've been working at a supermarket for a while now. If you have any problems, you can come to me for help."

Mikiko Mizuyu nodded.

"My name is Mikiko Mizuyu, Mr. Kaneda, good evening."

Ichiro Kindaichi waved to Mikiko Mizuyu before going to work.

Mikiko Mizuyu took a jelly out of her shopping bag and walked away laughing.

A stable job, more acquaintances, and a warm and beautiful place to live.

Honestly, if Mikiko Mizuyu hadn't obtained all of this, but instead seen it in her classmates' group chat, something that others possessed, Mikiko Mizuyu feels she might have been filled with jealousy and done something irrational.

Mikiko Mizuki walked to the house provided by Sadako, but stopped five meters from the door. The girl looked at the man squatting in front of the house she was staying in with surprise.

The man seemed to sense Mikiko Mizuyu's gaze, looked up, and Mikiko Mizuyu stared at the man's face for a second before exclaiming in surprise.

"Brother Hongye?"

The squatting man immediately stood up and said with a wry smile.

"Mikiko, it's been a long time."

Mizuki Kurenai is a distant relative of Mizuki Mikiko. She graduated and came to Tokyo three years ago. She occasionally comes back to her hometown to visit relatives during holidays. She is always very nice to everyone and never looks down on anyone.

Mikiko Mizuyu was quite respectful to this elder.

Right now...

Mikiko Mizuyu frowned and asked.

"Brother Hongye, what are you doing at my... place?"

Meeting so late at night... couldn't you have just called and arranged a time to meet tomorrow?

The water-born red night was bitter.

"Mikiko... um... I... I don't have a place to live right now."

Mizuo Mikiko: "..."

Shui Sheng Hongye turned her head to one side.

“I... I got into a fight with someone, and that person is in the hospital. I've spent all my rent and savings paying for it. I've been sleeping in the park for the past few days. Yesterday, I saw my uncle say, ‘Mikiko, you have a nice house…’”

Mikiko looked at the house that Sadako had given her. It was a two-story house, and it looked like it could easily house five or six people.

Mikiko Mizuki sighed.

"I understand, Brother Hongye, please come in."

Shui Shenghong's eyes turned red at night.

"Mikiko, don't worry, once I pay back the money, I'll have enough to pay your rent!"

Mikiko Mizuyu shook her head frantically.

"I don't want rent! Not a single penny!"

Although Mikiko Mizuyu lacked social experience, she knew that people would resent her for using other people's things to make money.

This house belongs to Sadako. He brought someone in to rest and sleep. Sadako found out. Mikiko Mizuyu could be considered a relative. He couldn't find a place to stay at night, so he let him stay for the night. Sadako probably wouldn't say anything.

But if Mikiko Mizuyu accepted money from Kureha Mizuyu and Sadako found out, even if her boss is beautiful and kind-hearted, she might not say anything on the surface, but she would probably be very uncomfortable inside.

Mikiko Mizuyu had absolutely no intention of offending such a good boss.

Shui Sheng Hongye was moved.

"Mikiko...you...you're so good to me..."

Mizuo Mikiko: "(?_?)"

We just didn't want to offend Sadako Saeki, but this misunderstanding is fine, it saves us the trouble of explaining.

Mikiko Mizuyu walked to the door and unlocked it with her key.

Looking exhausted, Mizuki Hongye followed him in. After changing her shoes in the entryway, she went to the living room.

"Mikiko, shall I sleep in the living room tonight?"

Shui Shenghong asked as she walked through the night.

Mizuki Mikiko breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there is a difference between men and women, and she definitely wouldn't want Mizuki Kuroya to insist on sleeping in the bedroom with her.

Mikiko Mizuki forced a smile.

"Brother Hongye, um, I have something to tell you."

As he walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa, Mizuki Hongye turned to look at his junior.

"what's up?"

Mikiko Mizuyu took a breath and mustered her courage.

“This house doesn’t belong to me, it belongs to our president. Well, now that you’re moving in, I can’t tell the president. In other words, if the president finds out you’re living here, I’ll say you’re a relative who came to visit me last night and couldn’t find anywhere to stay, so you’re staying here temporarily. Then I’ll make you leave.”

Mikiko Mizuyu licked her lips.

"In other words, if our president doesn't find out, it's fine for you to stay here, Brother Hongye. But if the president does find out..."

Mikiko Mizuyu bowed to her elders.

"I'm sorry... Brother Hongye, I have no choice but to let you go."

Shui Sheng Hongye, with her delicate features, smiled bitterly.

"I understand. I'll stay for as many days as I can. Ah, I really don't want to stay in the park anymore. The mosquitoes keep me up at night."

Mikiko Mizuyu straightened up, and the girl asked curiously.

"Brother Hongye, I remember you were a very gentle person who hated violence, right? Why did you get into a fight?"

Shui Sheng Hongye's face darkened.

"It's Xiaoyou."

Mikiko Mizuyu's eyes widened.

"Sister Xiaoyou? Brother Hongye, is she your girlfriend?"

Shui Sheng Hongye nodded.

Mikiko Mizuyu was somewhat excited.

"Was someone harassing Sister Xiaoyou? Brother Hongye, you stepped in and injured them?"

Shui Sheng Hongye shook his head.

"No, it was Xiaoyou who cheated on me. After I found out, I beat up the adulterer."

Mizuo Mikiko: "(?°?°?)"

Shui Sheng Hongye's eyes turned red.

“Xiaoyou and I have been dating for three years. We agreed to get married the year before last and support each other. I work hard to earn money and think about how to make Xiaoyou’s life better and how to make our future home warmer.”

"And the adulterous man only had contact with Xiaoyou for a week."

Shui Shenghong couldn't suppress her sobs any longer.

"That frivolous man only said a few words to Xiaoyou, and she did everything. Ha, that's when I realized that the guy I thought I could give my whole life to was just a bitch..."

“Xiaoyou wouldn’t even stand here to testify for me, and she ran off with a lot of my savings.”

Mizuo Mikiko: "..."

The topic suddenly became very heavy.

"Um... Brother Hongye, are you hungry?"

Mikiko Mizuyu looked towards the kitchen.

"Shall I make you something to eat?"

Shui Sheng Hongye looked up, the young man wiped away his tears, and choked out.

"No need, I just want to take a nap."

"Okay, I'll go get some bedding for Brother Hongye."

Mikiko Mizuyu went upstairs to the second floor, took down another set of bedding, and placed it next to the living room.

Shui Sheng Hongye took off her clothes and went to sleep.

Mikiko Mizuyu turned off the lights, went upstairs to her bedroom, and locked the door after entering.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Mikiko went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then went to lie down on the bed.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Mikiko Mizuyu got up early, washed up, and went downstairs.

On the first floor, Shui Sheng Hongye, who had gotten up earlier, had tidied the bedding and was mopping the floor.

Mikiko Mizuki walked over, and Kuroko Mizuki, holding a mop, smiled at her.

"Mikiko, do you believe in my life experience?"

Mikiko Mizuki asked, puzzled.

"Life experience? What?"

Shui Sheng Hongye explained.

"This is your company president's house. Your company president probably won't be angry if he sees me living here, but he will be angry if he sees that my living here has made this place dirty and messy."

"So, as long as we keep this house clean and tidy every day, when you, the president, come here and see the clean house, even if you don't want me to continue living here, you won't make things difficult for me."

Mikiko Mizuyu nodded slowly.

"Makes sense."

Mizuki Kurenai checked the time and then spoke to Mizuki Mikiko.

"I have to go to work in half an hour, Mikiko. Do you want me to make you breakfast?"

Speaking of breakfast, Shui Sheng Hong Ye Mian is quite impressive.

"My breakfast is really delicious, Xiaoyou..."
