I may be helpless

There was no one on the dark path, and even the moon was hidden behind the clouds. Without the moonlight shining on the spring night, it was still a bit gloomy.

【Big strong! 】The sudden appearance of a clear and youthful voice made Lin Bai tremble with fright.

My mother.. When someone speaks suddenly when it is so quiet, it is really frightening!

Steadying her mind, she looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that it was Tetsuya standing furtively at the gate of the yard waving at her.

Walking quickly, Lin Bai asked: [Why are you here. 】I don't sleep most of the night, and hang around the gate of her yard.

Zhe also came forward with a few steps, and looked at Lin Bai for a while, [I'm not worried about you, what happened to you before, you didn't even let me in the room, and you ran out alone, what happened? thing? 】

The young man's keen sense of smell made him worry that something had happened to Lin Bai, so after delivering the food box and being chased away, the more he thought about it, the more he thought something was wrong, so he sneaked back, but to his surprise, even his shadow was gone. He couldn't see her anymore, he was very anxious, and he couldn't ask Shan Ben directly, so he had to wait for her at the gate of the yard. Fortunately, she finally came back safe and sound.

Seeing that there were no extra scars on the person's body, Zhe Ye was relieved, 【It's good that you didn't get hurt, you really scared me to death. 】

Hearing this, no matter how old Lin Bai was, he understood that the young man was worried about him.

She smiled and pulled people back, 【Don't worry, Tetsuya sama, I'm fine~】

【Can you rest assured...】 Zhe also muttered, 【You just make people feel uneasy. 】

Why?Obviously I am older, but now I feel what it is to be cared like a brother... Lin Bai chuckled lightly, 【I'm fine now. ] Pulled people all the way to the house, and saw the food box still placed on the table. 【By the way, Tetsuya, have you eaten yet? 】

When Zhe Ye heard this, his aggrieved little eyes were even more wet at this time, 【I said that it was the meal for the two of us, you drove me away, where should I go to eat. ] The young man's voice accused Lin Bai of his 'violence'.

Lin Bai wiped off his sweat, 【Ah... sorry, sorry, I was wrong, but I haven't eaten yet...】

[I saw it. 】Zhe also opened the food box on the table,【But it's cold, how about I go and wake up Uncle Jingxia to warm it up for us? ] As he said, he picked up the food box and wanted to leave.

Lin Bai quickly pinned him down, 【Don't!No, don't bother Uncle Jingxia. 】

【Then...】 Zhe also hesitated. [It’s okay for me to eat cold, but it’s okay for you, Da Zhuang? 】

Lin Bai said; [It's okay, it's okay, let's eat something cold. ] After finishing speaking, he pulled a stool and sat down on the other side of the table.

The food is as rich as ever, at least one level better than in the independent group. There are vegetables, meat and eggs. The two of them had a makeshift dinner. Zheye was still a little worried about Lin Bai's body. After all, in his eyes, Lin Bai Bai was still a patient whose wound had just healed.

【Are you really a man?What if you don't feel well at night? 】

Lin Bai really convinced Zheye, the heartbroken old woman... She repeated firmly for the nth time, 【It’s okay, I used to eat it in other places, let alone cold ones, even worse than this, Zheye, you don’t want it. Worry about me. 】

【Why?Is there anything worse than this? ] Zhe also looked at the table that had been swept away, leaving only empty plates. [Then what did you eat before Da Zhuang? 】

[It's nothing, the vegetables are not so abundant in winter, I just eat cabbage three times a day. 】Lin Bai helped put the empty plate back into the food box.

【...That's really good. 】The envy is beyond words.

. . .Oh day, I forgot that this silly kid loves Chinese cabbage the most.Lin Bai black-lined, stretched out his hand to drive people out 【Okay, okay, we're done eating, go back to sleep. 】Today is really a tiring day.

Zhe Ye didn't get up, but put his hands on the table, put his face on his hands, and looked up at Lin Bai in such a foolish way. [Da Zhuang, don't tell me what you did before? 】

The young man's eyes were shining brightly, Lin Bai looked a little absent-minded.

Turning his gaze to another place, [Since when has Tetsuya become so curious. 】

[I already have it. 】Zhe also pouted, 【Tell me, I'm worried about you. 】

…Worry about me, I think you just want to satisfy your own curiosity!Lin Bai rolled his eyes, and finally couldn't help but spoke under the young man's urging, 【That is, an old friend came to me before. He has a special status and it is inconvenient to introduce you to each other, so I let you leave first. 】

Half-truth.

【friend? Zhe also became more curious about this explanation. [It seems that I have never heard that Da Zhuang has friends.This is your middle.country friend? 】

[Uh... yes. 】Lin Bai said.

【Oh~ how long have you known each other, what kind of person, how old are you, and can you speak Japanese very well? 】

. . . .

Lin Bai was helpless, 【Why are you so interested in him all of a sudden. 】

【No. 】The young man's innocent eyes, 【I just rarely heard of Da Zhuang's friends, so I'm very curious. 】

Well curious baby, Lin Bai cleared his throat with a drink of water. 【…I forgot how long I’ve known him, he’s a nice guy, patriotic, I don’t know how old he is, and he can’t speak Japanese. 】He explained in one breath.

Zhe also reacted for a long time, then propped his chin and said slowly; 【...I don't feel like a very good friend...】

[I didn't say that the relationship is very good. 】

[Then why can't you let me know?I also really want to be friends with Da Zhuang's friend. ] Zhe is also dissatisfied.

Lin Bai comforted him, 【...you forgot, he...patriotic~】with an unfathomable look in his eyes.

Zhe also succeeded in being frightened by this dark little look. 【qaq Well, patriotism... that will definitely hate me... There's nothing I can do about it. 】

【Um.good. 】Lin Bai said.

Zheye finished the gossip here, with a satisfied look, 【So it is like this... next time Da Zhuang can tell me directly, there is no need to be so nervous, I thought it was something very powerful. 】

...Thinking back to Feng'er's impulsive girl and the gun in her hand, it is actually very powerful.

But Lin Bai chose to remain silent. It's not her style to scare children.

[Okay, I'm done asking, it's getting late, why don't you go back to sleep? 】

[Oh, it's okay, there are very few people in our headquarters recently, and no one will notice if I stay for a while. ] Zhe didn't really want to go back. [And go back to sleep with Uncle Jingxia, Da Zhuang, you don’t know, Uncle Jingxia’s snoring is really loud! 】

【...Then you have to go back, otherwise where will you sleep. ] Lin Bai was as serious as ever towards this whining young man.

Zhe also pouted, trying to win by being cute, 【Can't you sleep with Da Zhuang? 】

【no! 】Lin Bai righteously and sternly refused.

[...qwq alright alright, I got it, I'll go back now... Da Zhuang, go to sleep and cover yourself with the quilt. If you have any dirty clothes, remember to give them to me. I'll do the laundry at noon tomorrow, and you'd better tidy them up in the morning Give me. 】

... Madam Tetsuya, you are enough!A good teenager has become an old woman, I really... I really care about your family attributes!Really easy!

Lin Bai cheerfully agreed, and then watched Zheye leave with one step and two turns. She still waved her hand, 【Go back~ See you tomorrow morning~】

.qaq, Da Zhuang didn’t keep me at all, it’s too embarrassing, he went back and cried with the uncle in his arms~ Zhe Ye, a young boy’s heart was broken, and he ran away in tears.

Seeing people walking away, Lin Bai closed the door, and she was the only one left in the dim little room.

But inexplicably feel at ease, there are no weird threats, no inexplicable guns, mouths.I didn't get my collar picked up suddenly, my shoes were thrown off, and I lay on the bed in a casual posture without worrying about being bombarded... Uh... I still have to worry about it, but it's still a lot easier to sleep.Turning over, Lin Bai pouted his butt and quickly fell asleep.

……

Early the next morning, Zhe also came to collect the dirty clothes as agreed. Lin Bai didn't have many clothes, except for the one she originally wore, and the one made by Yamamoto. The other coats and trousers were given to her by Zhe Ye Uncle Inoka's old clothes.

Lin Bai also had no money to buy new clothes, so he just wore them alternately.

In fact, it's not too dirty. After all, she has nothing to do every day, and Zhe also helps to take a bath from time to time. She eats and sleeps. She doesn't sweat or run around. Her clothes are clean. Originally, Lin Bai thought He just washes his body and doesn't need to wash the rest, so Ke Zhe doesn't think so. He is a clean freak and thinks that clothes have to be washed after wearing them once. White ----- wash every few days.

Since they have to be washed, they should be washed together, so under Zhe Ye's insistence, Zhe Ye took everything except Lin Bai's clothes.

Watching Tetsuya's back, Lin Bai burst into tears again.

Such a good boy was born in this era, sigh!

After washing the clothes, Zhe Ye diligently took Lin Bai's clothes and stretched a rope to dry in her own yard.

As for Lin Bai, he was asked to sit at the door and bask in the sun and watch. After all, Zhe Ye was too nimble, and Lin Bai tried to help several times but was blocked back.

The rope was pulled, and Zhe also stood on tiptoe to dry the clothes one by one.

I always feel... This yard, which was originally overgrown with grass, is more and more like her home.

Lin Bai watched the whole yard.

Originally, except for the small path from the courtyard gate to the house, the others were all weeds. Now the weeds have been almost cleaned up by Tetsuya, and it has more and more the appearance of a small farmyard. Only some weeds are piled up in the corners. Zhe didn't have time to tidy it up, and she... She always felt that this was not her own place, but her own cage, so she never cared about it, but bit by bit, she had been tidied up like a home by Zheye before she knew it.

Tetsuya...why do you do this, Lin Bai looked at the busy figure who bent over and straightened up again.

As if realizing that Lin Bai was looking at him, Zhe also turned his head and gave Lin Bai a bright smile. The bright white front teeth were a little dazzling under the reflection of the sun, and the young man with his sleeves rolled up looked so energetic and full of sunshine.

Lin Bai smiled back.

Presumably this place... is also a sustenance for this child.

Leaving home... Lin Bai lowered his eyes, forget it, let him go.

After drying his clothes, Zhe also sat down beside Lin Bai to rest. Lin Bai handed him the water he had collected, and Zhe also drank it in one gulp. He pulled down his rolled-up sleeves while looking at the fruits of his labor.

[It's all clean, wait for the sun to dry, and the clothes can be worn. 】

【Thank you, Tetsuya. 】

Zhe also stretched his waist, and when he heard the words of thanks, he hurriedly waved his hands, [There is nothing to thank, just take it as a reward for Da Zhuang teaching me to learn Chinese. 】

[Oh, by the way, you haven't done your homework today. 】He forgot to mention Lin Bai, raised three fingers and waved, 【Write Chinese characters on three sheets of paper~】

[...qaq oh...] The boy Tetsuya expressed his grievances and formed a group.

【But...】 He whispered, looking at Lin Bai pitifully with expectant eyes, 【But there is still no officer at the headquarters today...】

[? 】so what?Lin Bai motioned him to continue with his gaze.

【...Da Zhuang, I really want to go out and play with you for a day...】

….It turned out that the idea of ​​being so diligent was the idea. Lin Bai stared at the young man who hadn't blushed for a long time, and the embarrassing blushing was very familiar.
