My retirement life in Neon

"Okay, I know you're nervous, don't make fun of me. You know exactly why I asked you to come. Really, you come to look for me every day when you don't have me, and you're afraid when you're about to meet. Both of you are sick."

"There's nothing there... don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, look behind you."

Miyaso Rie was disturbed by Lin Zi'an's sudden words. Her mind was like a mess, and even her breathing rhythm was messed up.

Miyaso Rie took a few deep breaths, then turned around carefully and found...

Nothing.

"Shigeki Aota! You lied to me again!"

When Miyaso Rie turned around angrily, Lin Zi'an had disappeared, replaced by Chihiro in school uniform.

And where is Lin Zi'an?

He was on the rooftop with Xiaobai. It was the first time they had met in many years. It was not good for him to be there as an outsider. In fact, it was mainly because he hated trouble.

There was nothing on the rooftop. Lin Zi'an lay on the wall, looking into the distance, with one hand gently stroking Xiaobai.

"Meow!" Xiaobai suddenly cried out.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zian picked up Xiaobai. He thought he was too heavy-handed and hurt Xiaobai.

"Meow meow meow."

"I'm not worried about them. I'm afraid my house will be destroyed."

Although Lin Zian had put multiple insurances on Shigeki Chihiro, he didn't know whether she would go berserk. After all, he couldn't completely control the soul.

"Meow meow meow."

"If I don't go, why should I go? I'm just a superfluous person."

"Meow~"

Then he was seen by Hosokawa Rio while talking to the cat.

Hosokawa Rio came out of the telescope and frowned when he thought of the scene just now.

What is Qingtian doing? Is he talking to the cat?

Hosokawa Rio had been watching from just now. She just wanted to know how long Miyazaki Rie would stay, but when Lin Zian appeared on the roof, she was still very confused because Miyazaki Rie was gone and Lin Zian seemed to be running away from something.

Various problems made her mind a little confused, but as a "detective", Hosokawa Rio couldn't give up, and she was ready to take the initiative.

To be honest, Lin Zian was also very sensitive to other people's eyes. If someone looked at him for a long time, he would definitely feel it. This is the instinctive reaction of a cultivator.

But Lin Zian closed his five senses and only kept them at the level of ordinary people. Moreover, Hosokawa Rio's gaze was not malicious, and he was also thinking about other things, so Lin Zian didn't notice it.

In addition, no one in Neon knew him, and he didn't think that monitoring him would happen, so he didn't care.

Lin Zian waited on the roof for almost two hours, and his legs were a little weak.

In addition, Lin Zian also had restrictions on his body. He now added a lot of "weight" to himself, so he disliked the fact that Oda Michiko cooked less food, because he consumed a lot every day. If he didn't eat well, this method of suppressing the body would hurt his body.

Lin Zian came down the stairs and looked at the back of Gong Zong Rie lying on the sofa, and Chihiro was standing next to her.

"Master." Chihiro stood up and wanted to walk towards Lin Zian, but was stopped by him.

After making sure that Gong Zong Lihui was asleep, Lin Zian whispered: "Don't call me master in front of her, otherwise she will definitely think that I did something to you. I want to live a few more years."

Chihiro covered her face and chuckled.

"But I have already told Li Yang that you are your master!"

"Don't talk nonsense! I didn't ask you to call me like this when I came out. I won't take the blame. You explain it to her yourself."

"Master is really heartless! Don't even recognize Chihiro?" After saying that, he felt like crying.

To be honest, even if he knew that Chihiro was fake, Lin Zian felt that he was deeply sinful if she cried in her current junior high school form.

Of course, if it was Ikebe Misaki, she would explode on the spot and Lin Zian would not be a little fluctuating, because he knew what kind of person Ikebe Misaki was, but Chihiro was different. Lin Zian admired her very much. It was a pity that because of his own mistakes, Chihiro was polluted by Ikebe Misaki's memory.

Ah! I'm sorry for you! Chihiro!

With a shy smile, Lin Zian tried to change the subject.

"Okay, let's talk business. Is Miyazo Rie okay? This is my home. If anything goes wrong, it will be troublesome."

"Master is really a joker." Chihiro rolled her eyes at Lin Zian, seemingly dissatisfied with his attitude of shirking responsibility.

Lin Zian looked at Miyazo Rie's face.

It was horrible.

The makeup on her face was all gone, especially around her eyes, which were all gone, and there were two lines of black tears.

I don't know how much she put on her face. Is it necessary to put on such makeup?

Lin Zian really misunderstood Miyazo Rie this time. It was really because of Chihiro's incident that she couldn't sleep well, so her face was naturally haggard. In order to maintain her image in front of students, she could only cover it with heavy makeup.

Otherwise, she usually put on light makeup at most, or even no makeup, because she was lazy.

Lin Zian still knew that she was crying, because he heard her crying on the roof, and was complained by Oda Reina, saying that the ghost in his house came out again and asked if he was at home.

Lin Zian could only say that the TV was too loud, and then he quickly mobilized some of his strength to block out the sound.

Now that I think about it, it was a big loss.

However, seeing the peace and tranquility under Miyazo Rie's makeup, he could only say that it was a small loss, and it was considered to be helping Chihiro.

"You watch her first, I'll buy some food." Lin Zian was very sure that Gongzong Rie would stay here to eat, and he wanted to eat seafood porridge today, so he just went to buy some crabs and shrimps first.

"Master, please rest assured, Chihiro will take good care of Rio."

Lin Zian stopped at the intersection. He now faced a problem. If he went to the supermarket to buy, there were fewer types to choose from, and the quality was definitely not as good as in the seafood market that specializes in selling seafood.

But it is far to go to the seafood market, and it would be troublesome to go back and forth without a car. Normally, he is not afraid of wasting time, but now Miyazune Rie is at his home. If he does not go back early, his snacks will probably suffer.

Where to go?

"Qingtian-san, why are you standing here?"

Uh~Hosokawa Rio.

Lin Zian didn't know why she appeared here. She should stay at home and rest now, right? But out of politeness, I still said hello.

"What a coincidence, Hosokawa-san."

skillful? No, Hosokawa Rio has been squatting for a long time. She followed him out when he saw him coming out of the house, and decided to come over after seeing him standing at the intersection for a while.

"I'm going to buy something. Where are you going, Aota-san?" Rio Hosokawa took the initiative to test.

"Me? I want to buy some food, but I don't know what to buy." Lin Zian was just a little confused and did not doubt the coincidence of her appearance. After all, she lived nearby, so it was not a strange thing to meet her.

He suddenly remembered what happened at noon today, so he said casually: "Is there nothing wrong with you? It's my problem today that embarrassed Hosokawa-san."

"No...it's my own fault, and I have troubled you and Teacher Gong Zong."

When it comes to this, Rio Hosokawa feels a little inferior. She has always been very concerned about her own problem.

"Does Qingtian-san hate me?"

Lin Zian knew as soon as he saw her lowering her head that she was falling into her old habit.

"No, why do you ask that?" In fact, he knew what Hosokawa Rio meant, but he still asked her.

"because……"

Lin Zian interrupted her and said the reason directly, "Is it because you are afraid of other people's eyes?"

"I..." Hosokawa Rio raised his head and seemed hesitant to speak. He wanted to explain something but couldn't.

"Okay, I don't know what happened to you before, and I don't want to know. All you need to know is that from today on, you don't have to be afraid, at least you don't have to be afraid of my eyes." Lin Zian patted her shoulder and revealed a A smile that I think is pretty.

Lin Zian felt that he must be so radiant now that he almost turned into the sun. Unfortunately, Rio Hosokawa kept his head down, and no one watched the scene he added.

Finding that Rio Hosokawa didn't react at all, Lin Zian could only laugh a few times to cover up his embarrassment.

"Um...if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Lin Zian just wanted to leave this embarrassing place as soon as possible.

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"There is no reason, because we are friends." After saying this, he regretted it. Why did I say such a thing?

The situation became even more embarrassing.

Lin Zian tried to reverse the situation.

"Hosokawa-san, do you want to come to my house for dinner tonight?" Maybe he thought there was something wrong with his words, Lin Zian added: "Because of Teacher Gongzong, Hosokawa-san didn't have anything to eat. Come to my house tonight and I'll make something nice." Let’s make up for it with food.”

After waiting for a while, there was still no answer. Lin Zian thought that he had accidentally touched something that Rio Hosokawa didn't want others to know.

"If it doesn't work, forget it. Don't force me. It's just my inconsideration to let you come alone at night."

"Okay." Hosokawa Rio still didn't raise his head, but reached out and grabbed his clothes.

Rio Hosokawa had been in the battle between heaven and man just now, and didn't pay attention to Lin Zian's words at all. He had rehearsed it thousands of times in his mind, but in the end, he only said the word "good".

"Then let's go grocery shopping. What do you want to eat?"

"It will be all right."

"Then I want them all." (Miyazune Rie cried, treated differently.)
