Don't get in the way of my marriage

I don't know how long I sat at the chess table, and when Yuan came back to his senses, Mr. Edogawa was no longer in front of him.

He took a sip of the tea that had cooled down a long time ago.

Recalling the words Mrs. Edogawa left before, Yuan thought of a few years ago, after a certain mission, Natsume found himself floating in the sea and drifting with the current.

Natsume Soseki, with his back against the sun, stretched out his hand to him, and his spotless white gloves were wetted by the salty sea water in his hand.

"If it's the price of not killing anyone in the future, in exchange for the qualification to leave the hound, would you be willing?"

So as early as that time, Natsume had already given advice.

It's a pity that he was so stupid that he didn't understand it at all.

"Ah, so Shinnosuke can't even copy simple answers, what an idiot."

Turning his head, he stood beside him with a look of disdain, holding a big blessing with only the skin left in his hand.

The fist hardens unconsciously...

Both Mr. Edogawa and Mrs. Edogawa are hermits with great wisdom, but their son is.

"Mom asked me to ask you to eat. Really, you have to consciously sit at the table when it's lunch time."

Saying that, Ranpo reluctantly ate the Dafu skin in his hand, and patted Yuan on the shoulder with his hands covered in cream.

"If you want to stay for a few more days, you have to go out to buy daily necessities after eating. The market here is only open until two o'clock in the afternoon. The food..."

He motioned for Yuan to follow, and wriggled his fingers in random steps, explaining clearly one by one the life information Mrs. Edogawa entrusted him to spread to the guest.

Just like this, he walked all the way to the dining table, pointed at the place beside him with random steps, and then sat down on a cushioned chair.

Picking up the children's water glass in front of her, Hululu took a big gulp of milk.

No sugar added.

Putting down the cup, he looked dissatisfiedly at Mr. Edogawa sitting across from him. He just went to spread a lot of life information to Shinnosuke on behalf of his father. Didn't he even get a reward for a cup of sweet milk!

Mr. Edogawa leisurely took a sip of the tea in front of him.

"Mom made little meatballs today."

Ranpo's favorite sweet and sour meatballs.

Ranpo: Little meatball!

Compared with the small meatballs, it doesn't matter whether the milk is sweet or not.

After saying hello to Mr. Edogawa, Gencai sat in the position Ranpo pointed out to him, and watched the interaction between the father and son beside him. As a single nobleman who is about to be promoted to a magician, please forgive him for not being able to understand.

After lunch.Mr. Edogawa introduced Yuan to rent the small courtyard next to the Edogawa house, but he only gave Yuan the contact information of the owner, because he was also responsible for washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen.

Yuan looked at the laughing couple in the kitchen, turned and left silently, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

After contacting the homeowner and explaining the situation, Yuan paid a deposit with the homeowner's relatives and returned to the courtyard with the key.

Because the relatives of the owner will clean it regularly, the inside is still clean and tidy.

Out of habit, Yuan checked the inside and outside of the house, and after confirming that it was safe, he took the key and went out to buy daily necessities.

I thought I could come and return on the same day, but now if I want to stay for a few more days, I have to buy some clothes. After all, he can't wear a suit for a few days.

He patted the mud on the suit that was rubbed on by the restless kid because of his back staggering, wiped the cream left on his shoulders with a tissue with disgust, and went to the only clothing store in the town.

There are a wide variety of clothes in the store, and the eyes glanced at the clothes that seemed to come from the last century. Yuan quickly picked out a few single-color home bathrobes, took a pair of clogs, checked out and left.

Anyway, yukata can also be worn out.

Before leaving, the enthusiastic shopkeeper pulled Yuan with a smile, saying that she hadn't met a customer like Yuan who looked so handsome no matter what he wore for a long time.

Difficult to break free from the shopkeeper's hands, I thought it was over, but what Yuan never expected was that here, it's not just the owner of the clothing store who is so enthusiastic.

"Oh, I haven't seen such a handsome young man for a long time."

"Young man, is the family engaged?"

"All of these are sold at [-]% off, so I will come here often in the future."

Source: I kind of regret it now.

Resisting the urge to knock out all the townspeople who were watching him like monkeys, Yuan hurried back to the rented yard with all the daily necessities he bought.

After tidying up everything, Mina took a shower, changed into the bathrobe he just bought, rolled up his expensive suit and threw it into the laundry tub.

At this time, he finally realized the difficulty of life in the country.

Everything here is manual!

No gas stove, no washing machine, no natural gas...

Carrying the big laundry tub to the yard, Yuan estimated the amount of laundry he usually does, threw the washing powder into it, and then started to rub.

"Is Shinnosuke playing with bubbles?"

A very recognizable juvenile voice came from next door.

The genius son of the Edogawa family next door put his hands on the wall of about 1.7 meters, poking out a little disheveled head, squinting his eyes and looking curiously at Yuan... a basin full of bubbles under his hand.

"of course not…"

"It looks so fun, I want to play too!"

Interrupting Yuan's reply, Luanbu began to crawl towards the fence, humming.

Worried that he would accidentally fall, Yuan got up helplessly, wiped off the foam in his hands, and hugged him off the wall with his arms crossed.

"I'm washing clothes."

Not playing with bubbles!So you don't have to play!

"So many bubbles are used to wash clothes, Shinnosuke is too wasteful!"

Ranpo, who has seen the real laundry scene, took it for granted that Yuan's behavior was a waste. As a good neighbor of Nobunosuke, he reluctantly came to help.

Biyuan tried to stop his hands, ran to the washtub in disorder, and pulled out a ring with a handle like magic.

"Dangdang!"

Put the ring into the basin full of bubbles, then take it out, turn around and use the ring to blow on the source.

A transparent bubble flew out of the ring, hit Gen's face, and exploded.

Just when Yuan couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to hit him unconscious and send him home, Mr. Edogawa's voice came from next door.

"Ranbu, don't cause trouble for Mr. Yuan!"

"Hi~"

Then he said, "Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry for disturbing you."

"...no problem."

This might be the test Mr. Edogawa gave himself.

Thinking of this, Yuan walked to the laundry tub and sat down, trying his best to ignore the random steps around him playing wantonly.

Calm down, Shinnosuke!

Inside the Edogawa residence separated by a wall.

"Is this really good?"

Mrs. Edogawa looked at her husband with some anxiety.

Although she knew that Gen's murderous nature had been sealed away by Mr. Natsume for several years, but as a mother, it was hard for her to let Ranpo come into contact with such a dangerous person.

Mr. Edogawa smiled comfortingly at his lover, and picked up a chess piece.

"People who are equally lonely will attract each other."

This time I agreed with Mr. Natsume to introduce Yuan to me, not only to help Yuan solve the doubts in his heart, but also for the sake of chaos.

Since they were young, they possessed wisdom beyond their peers and even adults. In order for Ranpo to grow up healthily, they have been trying to protect Ranpo within the "normal world" they built.

But they also know that one day, Ranpo will lose the protective umbrella his parents put up for him, and will be exposed to the dirty real world alone and helpless.

If he could find another shelter for Ranbu before the umbrella disappeared, even if it cost him his life, he would not hesitate.

He doesn't understand the value of life and is numb to the source of walking in the world. Even if he used to be a man-eating beast, an undead monster, it is undeniable that he, like Ranpo, is lonely.

Yuan is surrounded by Natsume Soseki as a friend, sealing his murderous nature.

Ranpo is surrounded by them as parents, trying their best to protect Ranpo's innocence.

But this is only temporary, Mr. Natsume can't fully understand Yuan's heart, and they can't protect Ranpo forever.

"Trust Mr. Yuan."

I believe that he will not hurt Ranpo who is as lonely as himself.

Back next door, Mr. Yuan, whom the couple tried to trust, was silently reciting Buddhist scriptures and drying the washed clothes.

Beside him, holding Luanpo filled with special bubble water of laundry detergent, sitting under the eaves to observe Yuan's movements through the blown bubbles.

"Nobunosuke~ I'm hungry~"

Isn't it not long before lunch time!

Yuan straightened the corners of the folded clothes on the clothes rail, turned helplessly into the room, and dug out a bag of potato chips from the food he just bought.

It is said that he didn't eat snacks originally, but the aunt in the small shop insisted on giving this to him as a meeting gift, which just came in handy.

"then."

The potato chips drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and before Chaos Bu could even react, the potato chips landed firmly in his arms.

"Hurry up and go home after eating the potato chips."

Yuan took a can of beer and sat not far from Luanbu. If it was an ordinary brat, he would have knocked him unconscious and thrown him out.

However, the only response to him was the rustling sound of tearing open the packing bag.

"Click, click, click"

"For a handsome man like Shinnosuke, I guessed that Aunt Hanako would give chicken-flavored potato chips."

Ranbu said while eating potato chips, and at the same time, he turned his head to look at Yuan showing off, as if waiting for Yuan's compliment.

After drinking a big gulp of beer, Yuan squinted at the brat who was waiting for Kua Kua.

"What's the basis?"

Sensing the questioning in Yuan's tone, Luanbu stood up with a potato chip in his hand, and looked down at Yuan who was sitting condescendingly.

The slightly wrinkled brow revealed the displeasure in this young genius.

"Hmph, isn't this something that can be seen at a glance?"

After finishing speaking, she was still angry for a while, and waited for a while before Yuan apologized, and said angrily: "Aunt Hanako likes to give snacks to good-looking young people, and snacks The level of value represents the level of this person's appearance."

"Although I don't want to admit it, Shinnosuke was the first person to receive potato chips."

Thinking that he only got a strawberry-flavored lollipop before, Luanbu became even angrier.

After listening to the whole process, there was only one thought in Yuan's mind: so my looks are worth a bag of potato chips?
