My retirement life in Neon

"Ring ring ring! Ring ring ring!"

The rapid ringtone broke the tranquility of the early morning. Rio Hosokawa, who was originally lying on the bed, turned over and held down the phone. He raised his head and glanced at the time on the screen, then turned over and sat up.

Rio Hosokawa, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. She yawned and rubbed her messy hair with both hands.

After sitting on the bed for a while, she finally woke up. She stood up and opened the window. The cool air outside the house hit her face to face, which made her sober. Looking at the street with morning fog outside, Hosokawa Rio was stunned. Smash it and turn around.

It's only five o'clock now, and the only people who get up at this hour are housewives who have to prepare breakfast for their children and husbands.

Although she had to prepare breakfast and lunch by herself before, she wouldn't get up so early. Today, she was like this because she had to rush back to another home before her parents came back.

It's just that she was a little excited last night and she didn't even know when she fell asleep, so she was in a daze now.

Normally, it would take half an hour to complete the washing process, but today she was ready to go out in just ten minutes.

There were not many people on the street at this hour, and as I walked through the residential area, I didn’t see a few houses with lights on.

Rio Hosokawa walked to the door of Lin Zi'an's house and looked inside. He saw nothing, but the kitchen light seemed to be on.

"Is it Aunt Michiko?" Hosokawa Rio took a few steps and left.

She doesn't pass by here when she goes home, but she just wants to come and have a look.

And now she's going home.

Because there were few cars at this time, Hosokawa Rio could only walk back. Fortunately, the distance was not very far, and it was not yet six o'clock when she arrived.

Returning to this small single-family villa, I don't know why Hosokawa Rio always feels empty. It's not even as comfortable as the single apartment she rented.

But thinking that her parents would be back soon, she quickly made some preparations to avoid letting them see that she had not been back to live here for a while.

After all the preparations, time also passed, but before she could complete her disguise, there was the sound of keys opening the door, and the sound of voices.

This voice was all too familiar to Rio Hosokawa.

"Leo!"

There was an exclamation, and when Hosokawa Rio reacted, a figure rushed towards her, but she was pulled back as soon as she started, and scoldings also came immediately.

"Be careful about your image in front of your daughter!"

Rio Hosokawa saw the two and greeted them: "Father, Mother."

"Okay! Okay! Just hope you're okay."

Hosokawa Yuji came over and looked at Hosokawa Rio. His bloodshot eyes looked a bit ferocious. Coupled with the tired expression on his face, a tired middle-aged man appeared in front of Hosokawa Rio.

Rio Hosokawa felt distressed immediately. She also knew that her parents were worried about her, so she quickly said: "I have nothing to do. Don't worry about me. Please ask your father and mother to rest first."

"Stop talking, those small countries don't even have planes flying to Neon. They want us to transfer several flights." Yuji Hosokawa held his waist with both hands and stretched back.

"Go away! Don't put more burden on your daughter." Hisae Hosokawa pushed Yuji Hosokawa away and came to Hosokawa Rio. He gently held Hosokawa Rio's face with his hand and looked at it.

But suddenly Hosokawa Hisae reached out and hugged him, and couldn't help but murmured: "It's all my fault, why did I forget! How did I forget..."

The words gradually became choked and finally turned into sobs.

In the past, my mother was very tough, but now she is really unable to handle it. She can only comfort her: "I'm fine. Don't worry, Mother, I'm really fine..."

When Yuji Hosokawa next to him saw this scene, he just stepped forward and patted his wife on the back, comforting him: "Isn't Rio okay? Don't worry."

…………

"Onii-chan, what's going on?" Reina asked curiously, looking at Xiu's confused look.

"Do you remember Rio Hosokawa-san from last night?"

Lin Zian did not directly say that he was curious about how those idiot classmates who went to school today would react, but instead mentioned Hosokawa Rio.

"Remember~ What's wrong?" Linnai's tone suddenly turned a bit resentful, and even the look in her eyes towards Lin Zian changed.

"If you hear any information about her at school, ignore it. Most of it is false. If you don't believe it, you can ask Riyo Hosokawa for confirmation."

"What happened?" Linnai frowned when she heard this, and grabbed Lin Zian's sleeve and asked.

"Yesterday, Rio Hosokawa fainted due to a high fever during class." Lin Zian revealed a little bit. There is no airtight wall anyway. A person who faints will definitely occupy the apex of the school's public opinion for at least a short time. It will take two days to subside.

So when Reina returns to school, she will hear different versions. She will give her an official explanation first, so that at least she will not get involved.

After hearing this, Reina looked at him a little strangely.

When Lin Zian saw her like this, he smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Why did you take her home when she fainted? And it doesn't look like she has a fever if she can eat three bowls of rice?"

"Well...it's normal to be a little hungry after taking medicine. And it's not like she has never been to our house for dinner. You don't know how much she ate before? Now after three bowls, I'm afraid she won't be full."

"It seems right~" Reina thought for a while and it seemed that there was really no problem.

Lin Zian smiled and said, "How could I lie to you~"

The two separated at the school gate, and Yukino Jiamei, who was waiting at the school gate, pulled him away together. But Matsushita Haru found him.

As the two walked on the way to the school, Matsushita Haru suddenly said.

"Thank you very much for yesterday."

Lin Zian glanced at Matsushita Haru and smiled, "You won't come to me for this matter, right?"

"The girl yesterday is not from an ordinary family. If her parents come to you, you can leave it to us to deal with."

"Yeah~ Got it." Lin Zian didn't react. Matsushita Haru was now delivering a message for Yukino Takemi, but he was quite curious about the level of Hosokawa Rio's family. If Yukino Takemi said it was not ordinary, it should not be that bad.

Now Lin Zian remembered the joke he made before. After all, no matter based on living habits or clothes, you can't judge the level of Hosokawa Rio's family. Rich people do farm work? Cook for themselves?

Are rich people so weird now?

"Okay, if her parents want to find me, just come to me. I didn't do anything, so you don't need me." Lin Zian's lazy voice came. Compared to Rio Hosokawa's parents, he was more curious about what new things those stupid classmates could come up with.
