I am a freeloader in the anime world

Just as Nakano Miku was lost in deep thought, hesitating whether to speak, a burst of hurried and dense footsteps suddenly came from the door of the apartment building.

The footsteps were continuous like heavy rain, echoing in the silent corridor, clear and powerful, as if every step carried a sense of urgency.

This sudden and strong sound, like a sharp sword, pierced the original tranquility, making the surrounding air seem tense and filled with an indescribable sense of oppression.

Nakano Miku took a deep breath, gripped her phone tightly, and pressed the flashlight button again.

A bright beam of light instantly cut through the darkness, illuminating the corridor ahead.

The woman who had fled in panic before reappeared in sight. Her face no longer showed the previous panic and peace, but was full of a sense of security.

Behind her, there were several tall and burly men, all with angry and violent expressions on their faces, as if they were about to deal with someone.

This sudden change made Nakano Miku's heartbeat accelerate instantly. She hid behind Su Yang timidly. At the same time, she held her mobile phone tightly, ready to deal with any situation that might occur at any time.

The woman's fingers trembled slightly. She pointed at Su Yang and Nakano Miku tightly, her voice full of fear and uneasiness: "Dear, it's them! Those two suspicious people! I just saw them wandering around stealthily."

"what?"

Nakano Miku almost couldn't help laughing out loud. She suppressed her inner joy, looked at Su Yang, and raised a smug smile: "Is all this within your expectations, Hoshino-kun?"

There was a hint of teasing and mockery in Nakano Miku's words.

"Ahem." Su Yang coughed a few times, then said with a lack of confidence, "I did expect her to bring people here, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"Eh? Isn't this Hoshino-kun?"

The man following the woman showed a look of disbelief and surprise on his face after carefully examining Su Yang's face.

He obviously didn't expect that the person his girlfriend was talking about would be Su Yang.

Suddenly, his sight caught sight of Nakano Miku who was hiding behind Su Yang. Then he seemed to have thought of something, and an expression appeared on his face, as if he had already seen everything clearly.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Abe who lives on the second floor?"

Su Yang's gaze fixed on the other person's face for a moment, and then he recognized this neighbor who lived in the same building.

Although they were not very familiar with each other, they would always nod and say hello to each other when they occasionally met in the corridor.

"By the way, Mr. Abe, are you off work so early today?"

"Don't mention it. My company went bankrupt, so I've been looking for a job these days." The man Su Yang called Mr. Abe shook his head and sighed helplessly. Then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke again, "By the way, what's going on?"

"Well, it's just a misunderstanding. Your girlfriend might think we are bad people, but I can understand. After all, the apartment building has a power outage and it's dark. It's right to be careful."

After an in-depth and fruitful conversation, the misunderstandings that had originally shrouded everyone disappeared like mist.

After the young lady understood the whole story, a faint blush appeared on her face. This was not only because of her inner embarrassment, but also because she regretted her previous impulsive behavior.

She lowered her head slightly, as if silently reflecting on her mistakes, and then slowly bowed to Su Yang and Nakano Miku to express her gratitude.

There was a subtle tremor in her voice, but it was also full of sincerity and apology: "I'm really sorry, I misunderstood you before."

"It's okay, just a small problem." Su Yang waved his hand nonchalantly.

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, the man named Abe said goodbye to Su Yang and walked up the stairs.

He lives on the second floor. Although there was a power outage in the apartment, which made the elevator unusable, it was obvious that this did not have much impact on the residents living on the second floor.

Mr. Abe turned lightly and went upstairs, while his girlfriend took out her cell phone as quietly as a cat.

Her fingertips danced lightly on the screen, as if playing an invisible melody, full of elegance and mystery.

She skillfully adjusted the angle and pointed the phone screen at Su Yang, the flickering light reflecting a gleam of anticipation and curiosity in her eyes.

At this moment, everything around seemed to be still.

Above the mobile phone screen, a string of numbers is quietly arranged. They are like a mysterious code, waiting to be deciphered.

Each number is like a note, jumping on this small screen. Together they construct an unknown world, waiting for Su Yang to explore and discover.

Su Yang soon discovered that this string of numbers was obviously a phone number.

The woman tilted her head slightly, her eyes flashing with charming light. She gently raised her eyelids and cast a charming glance at Su Yang.

Those eyes seemed to contain endless tenderness and temptation, as if they could easily move people's hearts.

Then she gracefully made a phone call gesture, smiled, and turned away.

"..."

What is this? Is this a crime that my husband is currently committing?

Ma'am, your boyfriend just came upstairs a few seconds ago! Is it really okay for you to seduce me like this?

Su Yang looked at this scene with some trepidation, his heart full of complaints.

Nakano Miku stared at the scene in front of her silently. She slowly turned her gaze to Su Yang, with a hint of inquiry and doubt in her voice: "Is this also within your control?"

"Do you think it's possible??!!"

Fortunately, the apartment's electrical circuits were quickly restored to normal.

Su Yang and Nakano Miku walked into the elevator side by side, but the latter kept her head down and remained silent, with a faint blush on her cheeks, as if she was still feeling a little embarrassed about what had happened before.

Su Yang noticed her strangeness, but he did not ask directly. Instead, he chose to use a more relaxed way to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"It seems like we can celebrate the joy of the restoration of electricity tonight." Su Yang said with a smile, trying to bring up some topics to break the silence.

Nakano Miku looked up, was slightly stunned, and then showed a forced smile: "Yes, the power is restored. At least I don't have to climb thirty flights of stairs today."

Su Yang nodded, secretly relieved. He knew that Nakano Miku was not really angry or embarrassed, but just needed some time to adjust her emotions.

So he started talking about some other topics, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed and pleasant.

As the conversation deepened, a natural smile gradually appeared on Nakano Miku's face. She began to relax and become cheerful again.

When the elevator reached the floor, Su Yang extended his hand and gentlemanly invited Nakano Miku to walk out of the elevator first. Nakano Miku accepted his invitation with a smile.
