[Black Basket] Never expected

Later, when the upstairs was completely silent, I carefully looked out through the peephole—there was only a pile of smashed ashtrays on the ground. Fortunately, there was no red picture, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

But while I was relieved, a problem that urgently needed to be solved immediately appeared in my mind.

From the moment Ryota presumptuously challenged Dad's anger, we could no longer date safely at home with the excuse of studying together; considering his "occupation", it was not realistic to always go out on dates; plus Since the school is now in Osaka Prefecture, which is far away from Kanagawa...

An idea came to him.

The next day, after my father went to work, I was lying on the bed I hadn’t seen for a long time, and when I was in a daze, I received a text message from Ryota.I glanced at the screen in a daze, then immediately sat up and scratched my head vigorously.

Let me accompany him to visit the new school or something...

Half an hour later, I finished dressing up and went out. I took a piece of toast and hurried out of the house amidst my mother's cry of "Have you not eaten breakfast, Yangcai!"

Ryota's private server is generally relatively low-key, because his height alone is eye-catching enough in Japan, where the average adult male height is 170 cm.I haven't enjoyed the feeling of being watched by passers-by for a long time, and I still have a little excitement that I haven't seen for a long time.

The environment near the new school, how should I put it, is very lively.Generally speaking, a university with a large area is usually not located in a downtown area, but it is obviously located in an important location, surrounded by various stores, and the road traffic is also very developed.Not far away, a row of small high-rise apartment buildings stands in the center of the city.

I was visiting like a horse on horseback, but Ryota seemed to have some other purpose to check and observe the surroundings repeatedly by comparing the phone map.I stopped at a roadside takoyaki stall, took out a banknote and handed it over. While waiting for the meatballs to take shape, I casually asked, "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing."

"There's a secret."

He smiled and put down his phone and rubbed the back of my head, "I'm looking for the station marked on the map that can go to Yangcai School."

My hands trembled when I took the change handed back by the boss, a few coins jingled and landed on the desk of the booth, a [-]-yen coin rolled upright several times, then fell to the ground again, and turned twice , completely slipped into the drain and disappeared.

...my hundred dollars...

No!wrong!Now is not the time to worry about that one hundred yuan!

The memory in my brain was quickly reversed, and that sentence was replayed N times—is that what I understood?Isn't it a hallucination?

I stared closely at Ryota, who brought me takoyaki sprinkled with chopped seaweed from the boss and walked me forward.Now I don't have the consciousness to walk on my own initiative at all, and my mind is full of the question "Does he want to live with me?!?!", echoing in the inner world with roaring echoes.

That guy was "brazenly" eating my takoyaki, blushing quietly while eating: "Well, I should actually discuss this matter with you... I was not in a hurry to make a decision, but I saw my father at home yesterday That way... I always feel that if I don't live together, it's impossible to get along safely alone. So... I'm sorry, I made a decision without authorization."

Is it safe to get along with...

It turned out that he also felt that he did not have the upper hand when fighting with his father.

In other words, his purpose in the beginning was not to visit the school.

Fortunately, when the idea of ​​"cohabitation" flashed in my mind, I was a little shy, and then I felt that if the other party didn't take the initiative to mention this kind of thing, I would have no way to talk about it. Did I start looking for a suitable apartment nearby.

The mobility is amazing.

Also, I don't know when it started, but gradually I can't be underestimated, Ryota that guy.

When I made the above exclamation, I didn't know that I would be shocked by his godlike action again a few hours later.It's not too much to use the word "planned for a long time" to describe him. After confirming that this place is only about half an hour's drive away from the schools of both parties, the speed with which he contacted Real Estate Sang was simply unexpected.

For a student of my level, rent plus mortgage and other messy expenses are enough to cause headaches. After all, there is no concept of savings. Ryota, it seems that several years of modeling work has allowed him to save a lot of money, and it is not a problem to afford the rent of an ordinary apartment.

In just one afternoon, he had already received the keys to the house.

The landlord who was present at the time saw me sitting on a chair in the corner with a dreamy face, and asked with a smile: "Are you planning to get married, with your boyfriend?"

"Hey Dou..." I peeled off my nails in trouble, "Because they are still students, so I have no plans for that for the time being."

"Well, as long as you reach the age, even a student can get married." He lowered his voice and whispered in my ear: "If you plan to buy a house recently, you can also contact me!"

Ryota, who is curious about the surrounding environment like a dog who just came to a new home, is going around the room, and from time to time, there are excited messages like "this can be used as a bedroom" and "the room with floor-to-ceiling windows over there is great!" Wang Wang sound.

I looked at the serious face of the landlord, and I was still ashamed to say "I don't care, but my boyfriend is underage" after all. I agreed perfunctorily and sent the over-enthusiastic uncle out the door.

Marriage or something... It's really a long time in the future, right?

But it wasn't until just now that I realized that such shameful things like cohabiting with minors are indeed happening right now.

But am I really ready?

Maybe it's selfish to think so, I treat this relationship with a 100% devotion attitude, but as for whether it will develop to the point where I can definitely get married in the future, I actually don't have much expectation for it.

Thinking about it this way, I didn't take Ryota's previous promise of "must go to the same school" too seriously.It's probably the best if we can be together, and it doesn't matter if we can't be together.

But looking at it from another angle, how much effort and dedication did Ryota put into these things that I don't care about?When he was in the third grade, because the two of them were not in the same city, and the distance between them was more than an hour's drive, I couldn't see clearly how much he had paid for his promise.

All I know is that he doesn't play much anymore and his work has stopped - what that means, I'm only now slowly realizing.

And I just wanted to avoid the conflict between my father and Ryota, so I came up with the idea of ​​"living together" in a moment of brain fever, but in the end it was just a thought; how long ago did he start to have this idea, and How much homework did you do for it?

I originally thought that such a thing as love simply existed on the basis of mutual liking, but after digging deeper, I discovered that it was actually heavier than I could bear.

From the beginning, I just accepted everything that came to me with peace of mind, and I still complained that what I could get without paying for it was not satisfactory.

A few years ago, after experiencing such a thing, I regretted my naive neglect of Ryota's mood;

Now, after a long time, I am still repeating the past.

Ryota didn't know when she stood beside me, as gentle as ever.I even think that his joy before was an illusion created to cover up the uneasiness in his heart.

The sudden silence in his voice made me nervous.

He rubbed his nose and suddenly smiled and said, "It seems...it's really a bit too sudden. After all, if you want to live together...it's a big deal for girls, and you should really think about it."

"It's not like we're going to move here soon, Yangcai, you can make a decision slowly."

"If you live together, it's not just a relationship. I know this too, so—"

Not daring to continue listening, I immediately interrupted him.

"What's the use of talking about that now. Anyway, whether it's going to school or living together, you haven't asked for my opinion in advance, have you?"

"This... I think even if I ask, it will definitely not be approved."

What's going on with this inexplicable frankness...

"If that's the case, don't do anything that bothers you."

"Sorry……"

I stared at his slumped head, the lost golden retriever looking a little happy.

"And it's very far away from the previous apartment." Although the distance from the houses on both sides to the school is the same, one is on the east and the other is on the west.I poked him, "If you move at the end of the month, you can save a month's rent for the apartment over there."

"What does it mean?"

"It means hurry up and help me move things. Today is already the 25th - I have to go back to school once before that, and I will entrust you with the full power of moving."

Pull out his hand and clap the key of the apartment where he lives now into his hand.

The golden retriever's eyes lit up instantly, and his whole body shone brightly.
