Ordinary people can also be the protagonist in a comic strip

I finally made it to the end of breakfast.

Wu Tina was sent back to her room by her mother to change into her school uniform and get ready to go to school.

-

Taking advantage of this opportunity, in order to get rid of a certain enthusiastic lady, Lorraine took the initiative to collect the plates on the table and said that he could help wash all the dishes as a reward.

Wu Tina's mother readily agreed, which made Lorraine feel relieved.

I don't know.

When Lorraine tied on an apron, went to the kitchen, and began to wash the dishes.

This was exactly what Wu Tina's mother wanted.

She came into the kitchen, leaning one arm on the side of the sink, with a meaningful smile with a hint of initiative.

She stared at the resolute and charming profile, and the gradually accelerating heartbeat echoed in her ears.

"Mr. Lorraine, do you have anything else to do today?"

"Why are you asking this, Madam Hiiragi?"

"I'm quite free today. If you're free too, why don't you stay at our house for another day? We can chat together in the living room, watch a movie together, enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea together... and then go shopping together, cook together in the kitchen. I can also ask you, Mr. Lorraine, about many cooking problems."

"I have already disturbed you all night yesterday. It would be impolite to disturb you again."

"Actually... it's okay. Not to mention one night, it's okay even if it happens over several nights."

Talking and talking.

Wu Tina's mother began to move closer to him with a kind and friendly smile and a gentle tone.

Lorraine asked politely.

"Mrs. Hiiragi locked me in Wu Tina's room yesterday. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Really? Oh, maybe the lock of the child's room has been out of repair for a long time, so it will occasionally lock itself. Mr. Lorraine, please don't mind."

"Mrs. Hiiragi, where are my clothes?"

"You mean clothes? This morning I saw your clothes neatly arranged at the door of Wu Tina's room. I thought you wanted me to wash them for you, so I took them and washed them for you. Now they are hanging in the yard. I think it will take some time before they dry."

"Madam, did you wash me?"

"That's right. I can tell from looking at it that it hasn't been cleaned for a long time. It smells really bad. This is not good. We need to pay attention to hygiene in a timely manner."

"Then I really have to thank you, Madam Hiiragi."

"Haha, it's okay, it's just a small favor. In fact... it's been a long time since I last saw men's clothes on the clothesline at home. It's quite reassuring."

"Safe?"

"Mr. Lorraine, you know... there are only me and Wu Tina in our family, and we depend on each other, so sometimes I feel... I feel insecure. What if I meet a bad guy?"

"If Mrs. Hiiragi is worried, she could install more alarm systems in her home."

"I've thought about it, but machines are cold after all. Many times... I've been thinking... how nice it would be if there was another man in the family. It would be lively and happy, and we could rely on and trust each other."

Say so.

A gentle figure unknowingly came up from behind Lorraine, almost causing Lorraine to lose control of the plate he was washing.

He gritted his teeth and smiled.

"People always need to rely on each other. It's human nature and understandable. But you have to choose the right person to rely on. Only the right person can encourage and help each other. If you choose the wrong one... then not only will you not be able to help, you may even cause trouble for the other person. Haha, Mrs. Hiiragi, don't you agree?"

"So what kind of person does Mr. Lorraine think he is?"

"Me? To be honest, Mrs. Hiiragi also knows about my situation."

"I've always been curious, why is Mr. Lorraine still single? Generally speaking, men of this age must be married, right?"

"Because no one wants to live with me."

"Really?"

"I have nothing. It's ok for others to treat me as a friend, but if they want to be my partner, they can't sleep on the street with me, right? That would be irresponsible to both of us."

"As expected of Mr. Lorraine, so considerate."

"Um..., Mrs. Hiiragi..., are you getting too close?"

"Wutina is such a pitiful child. She has always played alone since she was young. I was always busy working and making money, so I didn't have much time to accompany her. As a result, she often didn't even have any friends, let alone contact with boys."

"She has grown into a very good girl."

Lorraine said honestly.

Wu Tina's mother also laughed.

"Yes, I have always been worried that she would be deceived by a bad man, but now it seems... the person she met is quite good."

“I think she will make more friends and more outstanding people in the future.”

"No matter what, Mr. Lorraine, I have to say thank you. Thank you for making friends with that child and always treating her so gently."

"You don't have to do this, Madam Hiiragi."

"I'll leave the child of Wu Tina to you, Mr. Lorraine, okay?"

"As her friend, I will help her as always."

"Can I ask you to do that, Mr. Lorraine?"

"what?"

"Wutina's child can do it, but I can't?"

"Mrs. Hiiragi, I don't know what you are talking about..."

"Hate it, you clearly know..."

"do not do that……"

Just as Lorraine felt the two arms behind him, about to reach out and do something bad.

Wu Tina's angry voice was instantly heard from behind the two of them.

"Mother!!!"

"Wutina? You've changed so quickly?"

"Yes, as you wish, I have already changed it, but...Excuse me, Mom, what were you doing just now?"

“I didn’t do anything.”

Wu Tina looked at her mother, who walked aside as if nothing had happened. If you didn't know, you would think nothing had happened.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have believed it.

Lorraine had just finished washing the dishes.

Wu Tina came over and grabbed his hand.

Then he said to his mother with a smile.

"Brother Lin promised to accompany me to the academy in the morning. Mom, I'm sorry, if I don't go to the academy now, I'll be late. I'll go ahead with Brother Lin."

"Is that so? Well then, be careful on the road."

"I'll pay attention, hum!"

With a final snort, Wu Tina pulled Lorraine away angrily.

And looking at the backs of the two people leaving.

Wu Tina's mother sat alone on the sofa in the living room, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, looking relaxed and unconcerned.

She just muttered to herself.

"As expected, the more you can't get something, the more you are attracted to it. -Keep working hard, my child."
