After I divorced from chaos step

Before he left, Poe told me that he had bought the apartment and gave it to me as an apology for Rosalie.

This can no longer be regarded as extravagant spending, this is a super rich local tyrant!

I asked Yanagi Renji to help me calculate this apartment before. If I want to buy it in full, it will take at least 25 years based on my salary, salary increase and inflation at Marui Bunta’s coffee shop.

After 25 years, I will be 50 years old.

And Edgar Allan Poe's understatement, "I hope Miss Qingxi will not dislike her", made me both happy and sad.

The happy thing is that in a blink of an eye, I have something that can only be obtained after working for 25 years. The sad thing is that this gift of apology is too expensive, and I really can't accept it with peace of mind.

After my repeated insistence, Poe finally withdrew his original decision and gave me a one-year free residency instead.

This time I jumped at it.

For houses and so on, let’s buy them on our own money.But I also envy Rosalie from the bottom of my heart.

No matter what a wealthy lady in the upper class of the United States wants, the family can immediately satisfy it.Even if it is a lover who is like a phantom mist, the elder brother has a way to reproduce for her.

In the eyes of others, she is extremely happy.

It's not like me, unless Zhongyuan Zhongyuan also sends me high-quality cod crabs, otherwise I can only go to the supermarket to buy some hairy crabs on sale, cook a crab meat hot pot, and eat all the soup with rice.

All the items that Edgar Allan Poe took away were teddy bears, diaries and other insignificant items. He didn't take any of the high-end electrical appliances that Rosalie bought, and left them all to me.

I opened the refrigerator, and there was a pile of fresh shiitake mushrooms and lettuce in the crisper in the refrigerator—these are the ingredients I bought when I promised to make crab hot pot for Rosalie.

In the end, all the crabs ended up in Dazai's belly, and Rosalie also lived in the book.

There are only fresh shiitake mushrooms and lettuce but no seafood or meat. It is difficult for me to make delicious dishes, so I might as well leave them for now. Anyway, Zhongyuanzhong also invites me and grandma Huamaru to have dinner at night.

Going on a date with a young man is a big deal.

But Zhongyuan Zhong didn't tell me where to go to the appointment at all.

I think of his very soft "Qingxi" on the phone, humming.

Through the mobile phone, I can imagine his awkward look on the other end of the phone.

I was amused: "Is the person who called me Zhongyuan Mosquito?"

"!!!"

"I didn't catch it, don't count."

After a while, I heard him call "Qingxi" in a slightly louder voice, and then said, "The time after seven o'clock is free."

After hanging up the phone, I realized he didn't even tell me where to eat.

But I didn't rush to ask, anyway, it's still early.I simply took a shower and changed my clothes-I was a little torn on choosing clothes.

The hotel where Zhongyuan Zhongye treats guests to dinner should be a very luxurious place. If I continue to wear jeans with short sleeves, I'm afraid I will lose face.

...Oh my God, don't make it a dish that I don't know how to eat, it will be embarrassing at that time.

For the first time in my life, I was so entangled in choosing clothes, and finally I chose the most expensive dress.

The skirt is dark blue as a whole, and it is covered with finely divided flowers with silver threads.Under the light, the broken flowers decorated with silver threads will reflect the silver light, much like the scene where the stars fall on the sea.

Putting on this skirt, I felt that I seemed to...be more beautiful.

I also dug out the long-lost cosmetics. I seldom wear makeup after marriage. I usually go out after putting on foundation.Probably because I haven't made up for a long time, I turned into a fly's legs several times when I applied mascara.

I'm doing my fourth mascara swipe when my phone rings nearby.I glanced at it, and it was a video call from Dazai.

I didn't want to answer it, so I hung up and continued to squint and apply mascara.

Then I heard a "poof" laugh.

I looked to the side, and the video call was actually connected. I swiped in the opposite direction from the direction of refusing to answer, and slid to answer.

"Is Qingxi sauce opening the eyes of the sky?"

"...applying mascara."

Obviously nonsense, I glared at him so much I almost squinted my eyes with mascara.

"Change to a J-shaped brush head, this brush head is not suitable for you." Dazai suggested sincerely.

"Oh? You seem to understand very well?" I wiped off the crooked mascara with a makeup remover tissue, and sneered, "Is it because my girlfriends pay too much, and I learned from them."

"No need. Just look at it with your eyes." Dazai pointed at my face through the screen, "The blush on the left side is more than that on the right side, Qingxi-chan is going on a date tonight?"

"...No." If he admits to the date, the good-natured Dazai will definitely gossip, "I have already prepared dinner, stewed lettuce with mushrooms."

"Then why do you wear makeup?"

"Isn't it okay to be lonely and self-admired?"

I used a very shameful idiom, and I felt a little ashamed, but the other party was Dazai with a thicker skin than mine, and I gradually became more confident, "I want you to take care of it."

"It's not self-admiration." Dazai pulled the corner of his lips, revealing his neat white teeth, "Because I saw it."

"..."

"Qingxi sauce is very beautiful tonight."

"Thank you for the compliment." Out of politeness, I thanked him.But still feel weird.

Just as Tosi can casually say "Gen-chan, your legs seem to have gotten thicker", Dazai can casually say words of praise.

The more a person's mouth is praised, the less believable it is.

"Since Qingxi Jiang is alone tonight, would you like to make an appointment with me for a crab hotpot?"

Make an appointment with Dazai for crab hot pot = I prepare the ingredients, I cook = he acts as the shopkeeper, only responsible for eating.

Only a fool would fall for it.

"No, I'm not alone."

"Eh? Isn't he alone?" Dazai raised his eyebrows, "Who else?"

Oops, missed the point.

"Do you understand if you have a glass of vodka in the next month, and you will be three of us, I'll hang up if there's nothing to do, the signal here is not good!"

I slid in the right direction this time and finally hung up the video.

When I finished applying mascara and wiped off excess blush, Nakahara Chuya also called.

I thought he finally remembered that he hadn't told me where the date was, but he said, "I'm downstairs at your house, but don't worry, Granny Hanamaru is shopping."

"……it is good."

I walked to the balcony, opened the curtains, and sure enough, I saw the direction of the parking lot, among a bunch of ordinary cars, the most attractive red sports car.

I turned my head and looked at the isometric mirror attached to the wall.

—The mirror is an aged mirror.

Cracks extend from the middle of the mirror to countless small cracks, like leaves stripped of mesophyll, or like spider webs blown after rain.

In the mirror, she was wearing a dark blue long dress with moderate makeup.The dull hair is always uneven, so I donned a hairpin in the shape of a ginkgo leaf.

— People are young people, very young people.

It seemed like the first time someone had come out on purpose to pick up my date.

No... I had this experience when I was a child.

I made an appointment with Yukimura Seiichi to go to the botanical garden, and the next day he came to pick me up by bicycle.

I have long forgotten which plants I saw in the botanical garden, but the boy's thin back and the smell of soap powder on his coat have remained in my memory until now.

As for the appointments in the middle years, either Tuo Si broke the appointment temporarily, or lost his way and couldn't find his way, and even needed me to pick him up.

It is impossible not to be moved by this experience of being picked up in reverse.

I felt that I was taken for the same thing by others.

Two thin lips can say countless good words, but how many can be put into action?

Thinking about it again, it seems that I am being hypocritical.

I hesitated between high-heeled shoes and flat-heeled shoes, but chose flat-heeled shoes.

When I got downstairs, I looked at my phone again, no more, no less, it happened to be seven o'clock.

From a long distance, I saw Grandma Hanamaru and Nakahara Chuya, who were about the same height, shopping in a small shop.

When I got closer, I saw that what they bought were two candles, and they were still bargaining.

Grandma is a good bargainer. When she was young, she hacked all over the streets and alleys of Chinatown. She is a fearsome and powerful character.

But Zhong Yuanzhong can also stand by and watch, which is also very powerful.

According to his financial resources, it is not a problem to buy this small commodity store, but he can still patiently wait for Granny Hanamaru.

"Qingxi! You finally came down!"

Granny Hanamaru put the two candles into the old man's backpack with a smile. When she turned her head and saw me walking towards them, she looked me up and down, "I'm wearing a new dress today."

I explained: "It's not a new dress, it's been worn several times."

Grandma Hanamaru said again, "I still put on makeup."

I continued to explain: "...I just sketched it out of boredom."

Although I am deliberate, I am also worried that the place to eat is too high-end.Granny Hanamaru is always revealing my secrets, it doesn't look like my own at all.

"Ah, I won't tease you anymore." Granny Hanamaru shook her head, "Qingxixi is very beautiful today, isn't it, Chuya?"

Say no to teasing me, still teasing me, and even Zhong Yuanzhong also teased me.

He's smart, but he can't fool people or talk smart, so this kind of joke subtly embarrasses us.

... What embarrassment!

I was dressed better than usual today!This is my best dress.

I suddenly raised my chin to look at him, and he happened to be looking at me too.The four eyes met, his gaze hit my eyes like a frightened bird, and he hurried away.

"Ah."

A very gentle recognition, like the breeze blowing through the harbor on a summer night.

……

It was an ordinary night.

As cars came and went on the road, I held the steering wheel nervously, trying to calm down my emotions: "The car crashed, and I can't afford it."

"You don't want to pay."

Nakahara Zhong also asked me if I wanted to try driving, but before I could say anything, Grandma Hanamaru interrupted: "If you want it, Qingxi secretly went to touch the luxury car parked on the side of the road when I was a child, but got sprayed Face exhausted, and even blackmailed her to sit down for a while."

"Grandma, didn't you say you have a bad memory? Why do you say such things!" I said through gritted teeth.

It's over.

The history of my love of vanity is actually remembered by her, why should I tell it at this time ahhhhhhh!

"Tch." Nakahara couldn't help laughing, and Grandma Hanamaru was already half-laughing in the back seat.

"What are you laughing at?!" I glared at him.

The smile in his eyes was even bigger, and the corners of his lips were raised, but he still refused to admit it: "...I didn't smile."

"You just laughed! I'm funny, aren't I!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked away: "No."

"You're not smiling? Then why is your mouth curved? Turn your face around and let me see."

"I'm not laughing, my face looks like this."

"Hehe, ghost letter." I was a little angry and embarrassed, "Anyway, if there is a problem with the car, I won't pay for it!"

"Okay, you don't need to pay." Zhong Yuanzhong also opened the car window, and the wind blew in from the window, "If there is a problem with the car, it will be mine."

Grandma Hanamaru in the back seat got tired of laughing and calmed down. She stared out of the car window for a while and said softly, "The moonlight tonight is so beautiful."
