In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

At the same time, our younger brother or sister who will be born soon will have more space to move around in the bigger new home. Maybe you can even hold him or her and go swinging in the yard.

If you have guests staying overnight at your house in the future, there will no longer be incidents like what happened with Eriri before, where the two of you shared a bed and you kicked her off, almost ending your friendship.

Think about it, compared to keeping the money in the bank, taking it out and buying a bigger house makes everyone happy and profitable, isn't this a completely good thing? "

"Mmm..." Rika felt very comfortable being touched, and her head swayed left and right with the movements of her sworn brother.

After hearing his few words, she, who was already a little unsteady in her stance, immediately showed a look of longing.

Yuan Qianye took advantage of the situation and leaned close to Rikka's ear: "Come on, tell me now, do you want to move to a bigger and more spacious new home?"

The ahoge on Liuhua's head stood up high, and the white and tender soles of her feet kneeling under her little butt rubbed against each other lightly, and a very slight "I want" came out of her little mouth.

Yuan Qianyele's shoulders shrugged, and he tried to restrain himself: "Very good, now tell me what you want from your new home."

Rikka pointed with her index finger, her cheeks flushed. "Well, I don't have any special requirements. As long as I can have my own room, I'll be satisfied."

"Don't you want a courtyard? You can bask in the sun outside when the weather is nice."

Liuhua lowered his head: "I want..."

"Don't you want an open-air balcony? You can watch the stars from there at night."

Rikka covered her face with her hands: "I want..."

At this point, Yuan Qianye laughed out loud with great joy and stopped teasing her: "I'll find a house later, and then we can go and see it together as a family."

"Um……"

At this moment, a pop-up window popped up on Yuan Qianye’s phone.

This is a message sent by the staff of Xishan Hall.

Just after the Yulongqi event ended, Yuan Qianye signed an endorsement contract with this company.

At that time, he also had to participate in a piano competition, so when it came to shooting endorsement advertisements and posters, he asked the other party to wait until his competition was over before proceeding.

Now that the game is over, the other party came directly to ask when he would be free.

This was considered quite easy to talk to, and he was even given a day to rest after the piano competition.

At this time, Busujima Saeko also sent a message, and she received an inquiry message from Nishiyama-do almost at the same time.

She is always available, but has not replied yet. She wants to hear Yuan Qianye's response first.

"Qianye, you're so busy. The competition is over and you're already shooting an endorsement commercial."

Having said that, Rikka still looked very envious.

After all, in her heart, being able to shoot commercials that are broadcast on major TV stations and become a household name is a very cool thing!

"Who says it isn't?"

Gen Qianye thought for a moment and typed a reply to Saeko.

The two reached a consensus and responded to Xishan Hall.

Both of them have time tomorrow afternoon, and they can report directly to Xishantang's headquarters.

More detailed arrangements can be discussed in detail at that time.

School starts in three or four days, so it would be best if it could be resolved before school starts.

----

The next day, Yuan Qianye got up very early again.

He was too young to think that he could relax after the game.

His schedule during this period was obviously more packed, with many more things to do than he had expected.

The reason why he got up so early was that he wanted to buy some gifts and formally visit the Touma family to express his gratitude to the mother and daughter for their help to him during this period.

He came to the commercial street and took a quick stroll around, but he was a little unsure what gift to buy.

The two people in the Touma family are not short of money. Those expensive gifts are probably commonplace for them, but they are embarrassed to give out too cheap ones.

Headache……

Finally, considering the preferences of the two, Yuan Qianye went directly to the dessert shop, bought some exquisite dessert gift boxes, and went straight to the door.

When he arrived at Touma's house, he saw a luxury car and a very small truck parked not far away on the street outside.

There are many construction tools in the compartment at the rear of the truck.

After taking a concerned look at it for a few seconds, he rang the doorbell of Touma's house.

After being happily welcomed into the living room by Yoko, he unexpectedly saw a face he thought he would not see again for a while.

——Hayasaka Ai.

The girl sat quietly on the sofa and was not surprised by Yuan Qianye's arrival.

Well, it was a bit unexpected.

Judging from the affectionate behavior between Touma Yoko and Minamoto Chiya at the competition and the banquet after the competition, Hayasaka Ai concluded that they must have a very good personal relationship and may have had many interactions in private.

Because she wanted to find a new piano teacher for her eldest daughter, she came to Touma's house today after making an appointment in advance.

She did have the thought in her mind that she might run into him again today, but when she actually met him... she was still a little nervous.

But in terms of her outward appearance, she remained as flawless as ever.

After Yuan Qianye came to the living room, she stood up and bowed slightly towards him. There was nothing wrong with her etiquette.

Yuan Qianye was surprised and made the same gesture in return.

Yoko acted as a middleman and introduced: "This is Minamoto Chiye, who is considered my student... Chiye, you have seen this person before. This is Miss Hayasaka Ai, the attendant of Miss Shinomiya."

"Hello."

"Hello."

The two of them greeted each other politely again.

Seeing Hayasaka Ai's expressionless expression, Gen Qianye did not appear to be as enthusiastic either.

When Hayasaka Ai saw that he had no reaction at all when he heard her name, her heart sank.

Sure enough, he no longer remembers me.

Although it's time to breathe a sigh of relief, for some reason, a faint sadness still wells up in Hayasaka Ai's heart.

They had only met by chance on the street many years ago, and there wasn't any deep, irreplaceable relationship between them...

Yuan Qianye then said, "You two have something to discuss, so I'll step aside for now."

"Not really." Touma Yoko replied, then looked at Hayasaka Ai to test her: "It should be okay, right?"

Hayasaka Ai nodded: "Yes, it's not something that cannot be known to others."

Since she said so, Yuan Qianye simply sat aside and listened quietly.

In a moment, he knew why Hayasaka Ai came.

Although Touma Yoko seemed somewhat interested in the question of whether she could teach at the Shinomiya family, she did not agree immediately. Instead, she asked some other questions slowly and carefully, trying to understand Shinomiya Kaguya's situation as carefully as possible.

Yuan Qianye listened to their conversation, his mind wandering as he silently thought, at this hour, Kazusa-san is probably fast asleep...

While we were chatting, Aunt Shibata, the family's nanny, appeared from the corridor and glanced towards the living room.

Seeing that Yoko was still talking to the guests, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Yoko noticed the situation on her side, said "excuse me" to Hayasaka Ai, and walked over to Aunt Shibata to ask what was going on.

"Madam, you hired someone to renovate the basement, but the basement door is locked and I don't know where the key is."

"Oh sorry sorry, I forgot!"

Now that the flu is no longer a threat, Touma Yoko has resumed her career.

In preparation for the piano solo tour, the music education institution founded by the company launched preferential policies and recruited a large number of students from outside.

Furthermore, she wants to release her second classical piano album as soon as possible.

Also because of work needs, it was too troublesome to run back and forth to the recording studio outside, so she came up with the idea of building a professional recording studio at home.

It just so happened that the basement was idle and had enough space, she was not short of money, and maybe her daughter would be able to use it in the future?

Yoko came back and simply explained the reason to Hayasaka Ai and said she would be leaving for a while.

She couldn't quite remember where the key to the basement door was, she only knew that it should be somewhere in her bedroom. She had to go find the key with Aunt Shibata quickly, as she couldn't let the workers wait there.

"Qian Ye, please greet the guests for me."

After saying this, Yoko followed Aunt Shibata back to the bedroom in a hurry.

The living room suddenly became quiet.

Seeing that Yuan Qianye's gaze was withdrawn and turned to her, Hayasaka Ai felt uneasy.

She considered herself a professional maid, able to maintain a calm and composed mind in all situations.

But now, just being stared at by Yuan Qianye made her feel uncomfortable and at a loss.

This was beyond her personal comfort zone. She didn't know how to deal with the situation. She could only lower her eyes slightly and remain silent.

I would rather do nothing than make a mistake at this moment.

I have forgotten where I heard this.

It’s a shameful mentality, but it really works.

Yuan Qianye didn't let the silence last too long: "Thank you."

Hayasaka Ai was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him in disbelief.

At this moment, Yuan Qianye already revealed a faint smile.

Hayasaka Ai met his eyes, and at that moment it was as if she had traveled through a time tunnel and returned to that evening in her childhood.

At that time, he was just like he is now, with a slight smile in his beautiful eyes, and more importantly, he was as gentle as warm water.

"You..." Hayasaka Ai's hiding technique was broken, but this was obviously what she had been looking forward to.

Yuan Qianye spoke again calmly, making his words clearer: "Those bouquets of flowers you gave me before were all given by you, right? Thank you."

Hayasaka Ai did not admit it, but he was extremely certain.

At this point, it is no longer important to delve into how he knew that the flowers were sent by him.

What Hayasaka Ai found most incredible at this moment was that after so many years, he still remembered her!

"Do you remember me?"

Yuan Qianye chuckled: "Don't you remember me too?"

Hayasaka Ai was speechless.

But at this moment, tiny bubbles were pouring out of her chest one after another, bursting with a popping sound.

I'm not the only one who still remembers that time...

Realizing that they were in a sense "running in both directions", she found it difficult to control her inner excitement.

Yuan Qianye reminisced about the past: "I still remember you were wearing a plain long dress, crying, and looking like you were bullied. Now looking at you, you are much more formidable than you were then."

Hayasaka Ai was eager to defend herself: "I was too young at the time and there was nothing I could do, not to mention encountering such an accident. I was just a little kid..."

Halfway through her speech, she realized that her emotions were a bit fluctuating and immediately stopped talking.

Yuan Qianye didn't care. He chuckled and continued, "Don't you think life is amazing? I never thought that after so many years, we would meet again in this situation."

Hayasaka Ai nodded: "It's really amazing."

They only met once back then, but now they can sit here and chat like old friends.

There is no sense of incongruity at all, and this feeling is quite reassuring.

This is very strange.

Hayasaka Ai asked, "So you recognized me at the party before?"

"Yeah, but since you didn't act like you knew me, I thought it might bother you if I started talking to you, so I didn't."

"Thanks……"

"There's no need to express your gratitude for something like this."
