My retirement life in Neon

"Stop, stop, stop!" Lin Zian interrupted Michiko Oda, "I just said that I will not interfere with your education of your daughter. This is your right as a mother, so I didn't call you here to say these things."

"Then what do you want to say?" Michiko Oda originally thought that Lin Zian wanted to persuade her, and he just felt embarrassed, so he called her over.

But now it seems that it is really not the same thing.

"I want to talk to you about your mental state."

"What do you mean! Are you saying I'm crazy?" Michiko Oda suddenly felt that Lin Zian was crazy.

Is there a connection between the two? Is he questioning his own brain?

"Don't be anxious, listen to me first, and think about it yourself if it makes sense." Lin Zian seemed to know that she would have such a reaction, and said calmly.

"You say." Michiko Oda also wanted to know what he could say.

"Then let's analyze why you have such an idea first." Lin Zian smiled a little weirdly.

"You found that Reina has changed, and she is different from before, which leads to your wrong perception of Reina. You try your best to correct her, and even... make trouble for no reason. Have you ever thought about what Reina really did wrong?" Lin Zian looked at Oda Michiko, "Of course, this is your subconscious reaction, and sometimes you don't even know it."

"What do you mean?"

"Uh... Simply put, you think that the current Reina is not the previous Reina, so you want to transform her into the previous Reina."

"This... I..." Oda Michiko frowned, she didn't know if she had such an idea.

"Don't think about it. You may not be able to see it yourself, but it's obvious to me as an outsider. You've been very dissatisfied with Reina recently, but it just exploded today."

"Then why did you tell me now?"

Lin Zi'an smiled bitterly: "You have to believe it, and you can say it yourself. This is a matter between you two mothers and daughters. How can I say it?"

"Education is not taught like this." Lin Zi'an said earnestly: "The key to educating children is guidance, not just preaching. You were also a child, don't you know this?"

"I..." Michiko Oda was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, it's getting late. You should first recognize yourself before educating Reina. Now, can you help Reina pack the cake first?" Lin Zi'an spoke to her in a very calm tone, without any sense of preaching.

"Yes." Michiko Oda only remembered that she seemed to have missed something, and hurriedly got up and prepared to go out, but Lin Zi'an's voice came from behind her.

"You promised me, go."

"Yes." Oda Michiko's figure suddenly lowered, and then slowly recovered.

As soon as Lin Zi'an went out, he took Oda Rena away and prepared things for school with her. He didn't have much to prepare, mainly Rena's things.

Lin Zi'an helped Rena comb a few messy hairs with his hands. At this time, Oda Michiko came down with a packaged cake. When Oda Rena saw her coming down, she hid behind Lin Zi'an as if in a stress reaction, looking at her vigilantly.

Oda Michiko looked at Rena hiding behind Lin Zi'an, and that look made her doubt what she had done!

"Okay, if you don't leave now, you will be late." Lin Zi'an interrupted this embarrassing scene and gently pushed Rena out with his hand.

Seeing that the two people didn't react, Lin Zi'an had to take the cake from Oda Michiko's hand and handed it to Oda Rena.

"Michiko, help me get those two." Lin Zi'an sent Oda Michiko away casually.

Put on your shoes with Reina and wait for her to come out.

"Aota-kun!" Michiko Oda came out with two boxes in her hands, "I haven't packed this yet..."

"What's the point of packing? You still have to open it." Lin Zian took it and said bluntly.

His words embarrassed Michiko Oda.

"Okay, let's go." Then Lin Zian took Reina Oda out.

The two walked on the road, and Reina Oda looked at Lin Zian several times, as if she wanted to say something but stopped, which made Lin Zian anxious for her.

"What's the matter with Reina?" Lin Zian couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere the most. If there was something, couldn't he just say it directly!

"That... Onii-chan, don't you want to know who this cake is for?"

"If it's for me, there's no surprise if I ask, and if it's not for me, it's embarrassing to ask. In this case, it doesn't make sense whether I ask or not."

Lin Zian's answer made her speechless and speechless.

"And." Lin Zian continued, "Don't blame your mother. She's also afraid that I'll lead you astray. Don't hide from her."

"This cake is not for Onii-chan." Oda Reina pouted, "This is for a new friend of mine."

"Oh! Reina has a new friend!" Lin Zian didn't know if she listened to him, but he still cooperated with her.

"Onii-chan's expression is so fake." Oda Reina rolled her eyes and complained about him.

"Forget it." Lin Zian shrugged and smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all.

"Humph!" Oda Reina was full of anger and turned her head away from Lin Zian.

Lin Zian smiled and asked, "How did I offend our Miss Reina again?"

"You didn't even ask me if this friend was a man or a woman, or what kind of person she was."

Lin Zian thought about it.

It turned out that he felt that he was not valued.

Lin Zian had to explain with a smile, "You are making friends, not me. And if it wasn't your mother, you wouldn't want me to know about this cake, let alone your friend."

"That's not the case!" Oda Reina got anxious after hearing what he said. She really didn't want Lin Zian to know about her friend, but it was definitely not what Lin Zian thought. She was just afraid that this friend would have something like Saya Ryoko, and then it would trouble him again.

She wanted to wait until she was sure before telling him, and didn't want Lin Zian to worry.

"Okay! Why are you in a hurry? There is a lesson learned from the past. You just need to be careful when making friends. I won't interfere with your friendship."

"That friend is a girl. She treats me very well. I didn't want to deceive Onii-chan." Oda Reina looked aggrieved.

"It's a good thing to have friends. One more friend means one more way. Besides, the students of Aoyama Academy are either rich or noble." Lin Zian didn't pay attention to her situation, but just talked to himself.

"If Onii-chan doesn't like it, I can give up my friend." Oda Reina obviously misunderstood what he meant.

Lin Zian could only helplessly say: "I'm telling you the truth, it's good to make more friends, but don't just take advantage of others, learn to share, and Lingnai does this well."

Lin Zian thought about it and took out his wallet and gave her some money.

"What are you doing, Onii-chan?"

"Take it, just as a backup."
