Not too many out of four

When she was going out to buy ingredients for dinner, she accidentally ran into the boy who had rescued her in Dorobiga Paradise.

I thought it would be difficult for them to have a chance to see each other again, but I didn't expect that they would meet again less than a month apart.

The red-haired boy grabbed the neckline and tightened it, and the hat was pulled low. He hid his handsome and unruly face in the hood of the sweater, as if he didn't want to see outsiders or be seen by others.

Li Jia hesitated and said, "Are you hiding from someone?"

Secretly hiding in the alley, the first reaction to being recognized was to deny her and try to drive her away.

"...Forget it," Zhong Yuanzhong also moved his lips vaguely, and he turned his head away from Li Jia's gaze: "What about you? There is something to do when you come out at this time."

He grabbed the hood sideways to block Li Jia's sight: "I have something to do, so go quickly."

Li Jia lowered her eyes and considered for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the boy's wrist: "——please follow me."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also stunned, and ran forward following the slight pull on her wrist, hesitating for a few times without breaking away from her hand: "Where are we going?"

If he wants to break free from Li Jia's hand, it is obviously very easy.

But he was worried that he could not control the force well and hurt her roughly.

"Go to a place where no one will see you," Li Jia took a breath, turned her head and pursed her lips and said softly, "And return the clothes you asked me to keep."

She also couldn't think of a place to take him to hide. After thinking about it, the safest place seemed to be at home.

Zhong Yuanzhong also thought along her words, and said in amazement: "Stupid, stupid, do you want to bring home the stranger you met for the first time?"

Lijia's life trajectory is simple, and there is no good place to hide people.

Zhong Yuanzhong could guess what she meant by just thinking about it.

"...It's not the first time we met," Li Jia slowed down and pushed open the tall iron gate outside the bungalow: "You saved me once."

It was indeed an impulsive decision that Li Jia rarely made to bring home a strange man who had only met once or twice, but the boy did not think carefully when he rescued her that time. The only thing that could be concealed by her hasty escape was her appearance. , His back may have been seen by everyone in the Mafia.

He was still wearing the costume he had seen in Dorobica Paradise, maybe the people he had been hiding during this time were the mafia that day, seeing the young man who had rescued her hide like a bird in fright and dare not see anyone.

She really couldn't bear to leave him by the side of the road.

Obviously, according to his intention, pretending not to know him and disregarding the relationship is the least likely way to be targeted by the mafia.

But Li Jia couldn't do this, and her education and conscience couldn't make her turn a blind eye to the plight of the teenager.

"It should be fairly safe here, you can relax a little bit." When Li Jia led the people into the courtyard of the house, she had already let go of the movement of holding the boy's wrist.

But Zhong Yuanzhong did not take advantage of this opportunity to escape, he hesitated to lower his head and cover his face with the hood of the sweater, followed Li Jia's pace into the bungalow, and sat in the living room of the Kudo house that he had lived in for eight months and was very familiar with.

First time coming in as a guest.

He lowered his head and pinched the collar of the sweater to cover his neck tightly, and his curly ochre hair fell on the side of his face, which looked a little different from the cute and helpless face.

The lip line is tightly pressed, the movement of sitting down is restrained and lawful, the back is slightly arched, and he may jump up and stand up at any time.

"Sit here for a while," Li Jia couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and said softly, "I'll make you some tea."

That day in Dorobiga Paradise, she was full of the lost kitten and the fear of being hunted down by the mafia, so she didn't pay attention to the boy's appearance and expression.

Serene and rebellious, flamboyant and unruly...

Such special and exaggerated words that are not considered boastful in Lijia's dictionary can be used on the appearance of the boy, but this is not derogatory, but a feeling that makes Lijia faintly afraid and intimidated.

But the boy in front of him, although he looks rebellious and has a fierce expression when he purses his lips and speaks in a deep voice, unexpectedly...

Li Jia is not afraid of him.

She didn't say anything nice or considerate, but she could feel that the boy had no malice towards her, and he didn't expect anything in return for helping her.

"No, there's no need to make tea," Zhong Yuanzhong tried his best to press his knees that were about to jump up, and said nervously, "I'll take my clothes and leave."

The longer he stays in the bungalow, the easier it is for Li Jia to see his flaws, and he must leave here as soon as possible.

At least, at least they shouldn't meet her for the second time in this state, with such a posture that they can't face her calmly.

Li Jia lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, and whispered: "It doesn't take long to make tea, I'll be back soon."

Even she didn't expect that she would be so bold as to drag someone back directly.

Out of the corner of her eye, she fell on the young man who was cramped and fidgeting on the sofa, and what she didn't expect was that the young man didn't try to struggle to get rid of her at all, but ran towards her with his head buried in awkwardness.

Obviously, it should be very simple to break away from her with his skill.

However, the boy seemed more afraid of hurting her than shaking off her hand.

Li Jia was slightly lost in thought, and squeezed the hand that had just grabbed the boy's wrist.

The boy's scalding body temperature still remained on her fingertips. Unlike her physique, which was prone to cold hands and feet, the boy's firepower was so strong that she felt the temperature was scorching hot even when she touched it.

She couldn't help laughing and turned on the hot water.

Perhaps in his perception, he also felt that he was caught by an ice cube just now, and he was so cold that he didn't react for a while to break free from her.

"...If we met in the snowy mountains, he wouldn't recognize me as a snow girl, right?" Snow girl with pale face and cold hands and feet didn't look like a living person.

Diverging from his own inexplicable imagination, he couldn't help chuckling.

"Meow?" Hearing the movement in the kitchen, the little orange cat came in with its tail wagging and tilted its head.

She quickly turned off the boiling hot water, and looked down at the little orange cat: "Why is brother Chuya here?"

The little orange cat squatted on the slightly cool ground, moved its beard and raised its head and shouted: "Meow!"

"Brother Zhongye is a bad boy, and he sneaked into the kitchen again." She muttered about making tea, and complained in a low voice from time to time: "Didn't it be agreed not to sneak into the kitchen?"

"There are many things in the kitchen that are dangerous to cats. You always sneak in, and my sister will be very worried." She sighed helplessly, put the clear green tea on the tray, and walked out of the kitchen with it: "Brother Zhongye, hurry up!" Come on, let's not stay here and play."

No matter how many times she said it, the fearless Zhongye cats would always forget her words and sneak into the kitchen while she wasn't paying attention, and all four Zhongye cats in the family were like this, and they couldn't explain it.

The only good thing is that they will only follow her when she is in the kitchen cooking or doing activities, and usually they will not sneak around the kitchen knives.

"Meow!" The little orange cat flicked its tail, raised its head and followed her to the living room.

The catwalk stopped silently at the door of the living room, and the little orange cat tilted its head to look at the strange guest unexpectedly.

Li Jia couldn't help laughing, Kudo House rarely has any guests, and Ms. Lan and Dr. Ali who come here from time to time are both familiar to the little orange cat. It's not surprising that it would be curious about the sudden appearance of strange guests this time.

Carefully bypassing the little orange cat and entering the door, Li Jia put down the tea and just saw the boy's tense expression, and couldn't help diverting his attention: "Excuse me, what should I call you?"

The boy was about to reach out to pick up the cup, but hurriedly withdrew it, pressing his hands on his knees: "...Chuya, my name."

He wanted to finish his tea quickly, took his clothes and left quickly.

Unexpectedly, Li Jia suddenly opened his mouth to chat with him, and the question was still asked, so he blurted out without turning his head around for a while.

Li Jia stopped moving, and repeated softly in surprise: "The name is Zhongya..."

Unexpectedly, the world is so small, the cats at home are all named "Zhongye", and the boy's name is also Zhongye.

Zhongya Zhongya was stunned for a moment to realize, and quickly explained: "No, I mean...my name is Zhongya Zhongyuan."

He was so flustered that he was at a loss, almost swallowing his tongue and repeating what he just said.

"My name is Fujimine Lijia." Lijia frowned and said with a smile, "Can I call you Nakaya-kun?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also stopped his voice trying to explain at a loss, his eyes fell on her cute smiling face, he slowly turned his head and said: "As you like."

In order to hide his unease, he hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and was immediately grinned by the scalding tea.

Not wanting to misunderstand that she was making fun of him, Li Jia raised her hand to cover the smile on her mouth, but there were still full traces on the corners of her eyes and brows, her eyebrows and eyes were curved and she smiled cutely and beautifully.

The little orange cat froze at the door of the living room suddenly yelled: "Meow!"

With four claws striding forward, he rushed towards Zhongyuan Zhongye, holding the cup sideways to avoid the unknown object flying behind him.

The little orange cat fell into Li Jia's arms, stood up dizzy, shook his head vigorously and rushed to where he was: "Meow, woof!"

"What's wrong with it?" Zhongyuan Zhong also asked in surprise.

He suddenly yelled and flew over, maybe he was so excited because he heard his name.

Puzzled, Li Jia hugged the little orange cat tightly and comforted him repeatedly: "Brother Zhongye, why did you suddenly start jumping at people?"

In the past, the cats in Zhongye were all well-behaved and sensible cats, and they never made any inexplicable moves, let alone such actions where their nails popped out and they wanted to hook Zhongya Zhongya's clothes fiercely.

She is used to coaxing her cat as usual, but she completely forgot that there is a "Zhongye" sitting in front of her.

Looking up, he saw that Zhongyuan Zhongye covered his red lips and turned his ears away. An inexplicable sense of shame filled his brain, and his face and neck began to feel hot and red.

Ah, how could such a thing happen? !

She was obviously just calling her own cat, but she made herself look like a strange person, naming the cat after a boy she had only seen once or twice.

"That, that..." She hugged the struggling little orange cat tightly in shame and anger and explained: "The child's name is taken from Mr. Chuya Nakahara, not, not..."

Oops, it feels even weirder to say that.

The boy sitting in front of her is also called "Nakahara Chuya", and he used the same name as the poet Nakahara Chuya.

Omg...so shameful...

I feel like I have become a strange person.

Li Jia hugged the little orange cat tightly, lowered her head and shrank her body: "...This is just a coincidence, please don't misunderstand."

Zhong Yuanzhong also coughed a few times and cleared his throat: "I know."

Li Jia pursed her lips tightly, her beautiful fair face was flushed with shy blush, which couldn't stop spreading to her neck and ears, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't sit still.

"Meow, woof, woof!" The little orange cat in his arms was still struggling to get out, meowing loudly.

The noisy sound attracted the other two cats in the house, and the clingy and coquettish orange kitten and the calm and calm orange cat Tuanzi couldn't help running to see what happened in the living room.

Two orange cats with similar appearance but slightly different size from the ribbon bow on the back of their necks. The moment they saw Nakahara Chuya, the hair all over their bodies frowned slightly, and they unconsciously let out a deterrent low growl.

"Mimi? Mimimi!" "...Meow? Meow?"

Several different meows were mixed together for a long time, Li Jia wanted to call them to stop, but his gaze inadvertently passed Zhongyuan Zhongya, and he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.

Li Jia suddenly remembered that there were four cats named "Zhongye" at home. In order to distinguish their names, she always added honorific names or other name suffixes after "Zhongye".

She was almost overwhelmed by shame, unable to call out to the Zhongye cats at home to stop their vicious siege of Zhongye Zhongye.

Li Jia never thought that such an embarrassing thing would happen after naming the cat at home after a deceased poet.

"Be good, be good..." She anxiously wanted to rush over to hug the orange kitten, and the always obedient and clingy "Zhong Ye" should be able to listen to her advice: "This is a guest, you can't do this."

Never thought that the orange kitty would flick his tail to avoid her movements, and continue to yell loudly like a questioning question.

Surprised and stunned, Li Jia stumbled off the coffee table, lost her balance and tilted to the side, and was about to fall hard at home.

She hugged the little orange cat tightly, protecting the cat's head and spine, and closed her eyes tightly in fright.

The shoulders and waist were firmly supported and lifted up. She opened her eyes and looked at Nakahara Chuya in a daze. He frowned unconsciously, looked around the cats around, and whispered: "Are you all right? Don't be so anxious , they did nothing to me."

It is not difficult to get back to normal size and block the siege of Zhongye cats. What he didn't expect was that Li Jia would care so much about his name.

And... don't know if it's a coincidence...

She called him the same name as when he was a cat.

Her heart was beating wildly with fright, Li Jia couldn't get back to her senses, and nodded slowly: "...Thank you, thank you, Mr. Zhongye."

The boy's handsome and handsome face was frowning deeply, with unconcealable worry, his tone sank slightly, and the hands on his shoulders and waist were astonishingly hot.

The face that was originally dyed red by shame and embarrassment was quietly stained with another crimson color with a different meaning.

"Mi, Mimi!" The orange kitten, who almost caused her to fall because he dodged Li Jia's movements, was worried and anxious.

The soft cat's body squeezed through the gap between the two of them, grabbed Li Jia nervously, the cat's claws slapped Nakahara Chuya's hand off, and the tail stretched straight into a long cry: "Mi! Mi——"

"Holding, sorry," Zhong Yuan Zhong also's expression changed suddenly, he took a step back hastily, and pulled the collar of the sweater tightly to cover the collar in embarrassment: "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, I'm leaving first."

"But, but, you haven't taken your clothes away..." Li Jia shouted helplessly, holding two Chuya cats in her arms.

Zhong Yuanzhong also stopped, and hurriedly replied: "Next time I will come to get it."

The boy's pace was so fast that he almost ran, and rushed out of the bungalow as if fleeing, without even closing the door at the entrance.

Li Jia hugged the cat and chased it for a few steps. Seeing him rushing out, she sighed softly: "It's already gone..."

She hasn't returned the leather jacket to him, and she hasn't thanked Dorobiga Paradise for saving her.

Obviously the original intention of inviting him in was to help him avoid people he didn't want to see, but it didn't seem to help Zhongya Zhongyuan, and even brought him trouble and distress.

"Meow?"

Li Jia smiled embarrassedly, and was about to close the door of the entrance: "That brother is the one my sister said, who saved me in the amusement park, and that leather jacket is also his clothes."

"I thought I could return the clothes to him this time... Ah, Mr. Zhongye?" The little cat nimbly squeezed in through the crack of the door, and interrupted her by rushing past Li Jia's feet.

"Meow!" it replied energetically.
