Zongman: People are in the music show, relaxed and happy

"Xiangzi?"

He sat up from the sofa and looked at the girl.

"Are you okay?"

Toyokawa Shoko came back to her senses and shook her head, with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"Sorry, Ze, I disturbed you."

Baichuan Ze said it was okay, got up and turned on the light in the living room, then poured a glass of water and handed it to the other party.

"Drink some water first, your lips are dry."

Toyokawa Shoko took the cup of water and thanked him.

Baichuanze sat back on the sofa and looked up at the other person.

"Xiangzi, if there is anything I can help you with, please let me know."

Volume 7: Bonus for additional chapters (July 3)

First of all, I would like to thank all the readers who have supported me along the way.

The fact that a new author and a new book can persevere is inseparable from your support and encouragement.

Then apologize.

Because my level is indeed limited, if there is anything that you are not satisfied with, please bear with me.

I am also reading the opinions raised in the comments section and on the threads, and I am doing my best to correct myself.

……

[Reason for offering a reward]:

In mid-June, due to insomnia caused by long-term mental stress, my physical condition was deteriorating, so I reduced the amount of daily updates and adjusted for a period of time.

By the end of June, my body had almost recovered, but my spirit had been drained a lot.

Because I am a person who pays special attention to feedback from readers, I felt a little disappointed when I saw that the various data showed no improvement, and I couldn't muster the energy to write.

However, I also want to continue writing this book because there are still many stories I want to write.

So I thought of offering a reward for more chapters to give myself more motivation.

[Reward rules (limited time and no upper limit)]:

1. (Basic Update): Daily basic update consists of three chapters of 2000 words, totaling 6000 words.

2. (Rules for additional chapters): For every additional reward of 5000 cat biscuits or 50 blades, one additional chapter of 2000 words will be added.

The current reward is [36796] and the blade is [213].

3.（幻想时刻）：如果有箱子的话，白银宝箱加更11章2000字的，黄金宝箱加更35章2000字的。

4.{时间限制}：本次悬赏仅统计一周内的数据，从2024年7月3日截止到2024年7月9日24点。

In the early morning of July 7th, I will post a single chapter to announce the [statistical results] and [number of additional chapters].

5. (Promise of additional chapters): If the final number of additional chapters is within 50, I will complete the additional chapter bounty within one month. If it is between 50 and 100 chapters, I will complete the additional chapter bounty within two months.

There is a group at the top of the comment section, welcome to join the group to urge for updates.

Finally, thank you all again for your support and encouragement!

Volume 1: Chapter 138 Xiangzi feels naked

Toyokawa Shoko sat on the sofa opposite Shirakawa Ze, drank a sip of water, then put the cup on the table and spoke slowly.

"Ze, thank you for your concern."

"But I don't know how to tell you."

"But I do need your help with something..."

She raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her. A little embarrassment appeared on her face, but her eyes were more determined after making up her mind.

"Can you lend me some money? I want to rent a house to live in."

Hearing this, Baichuan Ze probably guessed that the other party must have had a serious conflict with his father.

Based on her family's situation, it is likely that her father did something to hurt her again, causing her to want to move out.

If the other party chooses to actively increase your financial pressure and even asks you to borrow money, it is very likely that the situation has reached a point where it is difficult to reconcile.

At least it is difficult to reconcile in a short period of time.

Baichuan Ze thought about it, and then he spoke.

"If you want to live alone, I have a recommendation."

"My landlord lives in the two-story courtyard opposite. She is a single woman. Her husband passed away many years ago, and her children all live elsewhere."

"When I paid the rent this month, she told me that if I felt financially stressed, I could move to the second floor of her house. Now the entire second floor is vacant."

"She said she didn't need to pay my rent, as long as I helped her take care of the flowers and plants in the yard every day."

"Because she feels that she is getting older and older, and she is becoming less and less able to do things."

"Unfortunately, I didn't know how to take care of the flowers and plants, so I didn't agree at the time."

"If Xiangzi is willing to go, I can help you contact her."

When Shoko Toyokawa heard that she could get free rent by taking care of the flowers and plants, she was really tempted.

When I was in Tsuki no Mori, there were special courses for things like cooking, gardening, and housekeeping.

So in these aspects, she can basically handle it.

She continued what the other party said.

"If that's the case, it's really good."

"I wonder what kind of flowers and plants the landlord's grandmother has at home?"

Baichuanze shook his head.

“I don’t really understand this aspect either.”

He glanced at the time and continued,

"The landlady goes for a walk in the nearby park every morning. How about I take you to see her before you go to school?"

Toyokawa Shoko felt a little embarrassed.

"Will this bother others?"

Baichuanze smiled and said,

"No, if the old lady saw that a cute girl like Xiangzi wanted to live in her house, she would definitely be very happy."

The girl was stunned for a moment, a hint of shyness appeared on her face, she felt that the other party was a bit unethical, why did he suddenly praise her...

Then her expression became serious.

"Ze, thank you so much."

Baichuanze smiled and waved his hand.

"it does not matter."

"It was mainly a coincidence. If you had mentioned something else, I might not be able to help you."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at the boy in front of her, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

"Ze, to be honest, sometimes I really want to do something for you."

“But now I feel like I can’t do anything.”

Baichuan Ze looked at the girl in front of him calmly and asked,

"Xiangzi, if you have three choices, choose A, which will make my life better, choose B, which will make my life worse, and choose C, which will keep my life the same as it is."

"Which one would you choose?"

Toyokawa Shoko replied without hesitation,

"I choose A!"

Shirakawaze laughed.

"If the roles were reversed, I would also choose A."

"You can say that we both hope for the best for each other."

"That is to say, there is no difference in our essence."

"The only difference is that I had the opportunity to answer this multiple-choice question first."

"So Xiangzi, don't feel like you owe me anything. Your kindness is the best reward for me."

After hearing these words, Toyokawa Shoko felt as if she was enveloped by some bright and warm light. Her heart was filled with joy and emotion, causing her nose to feel sore.

Baichuanze lay back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and looked peaceful.

"If Xiangzi has nothing to do, I will continue to sleep."

"Please turn off the light for me, thank you."

Toyokawa Shoko responded, picked up her schoolbag and prepared to turn off the light.

Halfway through her walk, she remembered that she needed to take a shower. After all, she had sweated a lot and now felt a little uncomfortable.

So she turned to look at the boy on the sofa and said shyly,

"Ze...can I borrow your bathroom to take a shower?"

Baichuanze did not open his eyes.

"Of course, there are new towels, bath towels, toiletries and the like in the cabinet to the left of the sink. You can use them as you like."

After saying this, he turned sideways with his back facing Toyokawa Shoko, indicating that he would not peek.
