MTL - Kanagawa Taoist College Students-Chapter 548 Probe and... scare!
Of the four emails, Li Xuehao didn't reply to any of them.
After turning off the computer, I went downstairs to watch TV in the living room.
I didn't think it was very comfortable to be alone at home before, maybe it was because I had been with Sayuri and Chiba for a long time, and I was used to the lively atmosphere, but now I am suddenly not used to being alone at home. Thinking that even with Mai Sheng, who often talks wildly, being around is better than being alone.
After watching TV for a while, the doorbell suddenly rang outside.
Li Xuehao couldn't help but move, could it be that one of Sayuri Chiba and the others came back?
Looking at the wall clock on the wall, it was obvious that it was not the end of club activities, so hesitatingly, he went out of the living room to open the door.
Opening the door, Mrs. Hosoya, dressed in home clothes, was standing outside, holding a white plate in both hands, which was filled with neat and fragrant cookies.
"Ms. Hosoya?" Li Xuehao was a little surprised. Shouldn't she be working in a convenience store at this time?
"Mainaka-kun, are you at home?" Eriko Hosoya was also surprised to see him, because shouldn't the current Shinnaka-kun be at school?
"I didn't participate in club activities, so I came back first." Li Xuehao explained.
"So that's how it is." Eriko Hosoya suddenly realized something, then thought of the purpose of her visit, and hurriedly sent up the plate, "Mainaka-kun, this is the dessert I just made..."
"Thank you, madam." Li Xuehao was not polite, took the plate from her hand, and asked casually, "Did madam not go to work?"
"The store manager said that I have been working hard recently, so he gave me half a day off." Seeing that he did not make any excuses, Eriko Hosoya also looked very relieved and happy.
However, Li Xuehao was a little puzzled. With Mrs. Zejing who is so good at calculating, would she be willing to give someone half a day off for no reason? But I doubted it in my heart, and didn't show it on my face: "Madam, please come in."
Eriko Hosoya glanced at the situation in the house behind him, and seemed a little hesitant, as if wondering if this would disturb others.
"I'm the only one at home now." Li Xuehao guessed what she was thinking about, and said quickly.
Hearing that he was the only one at home, Eriko Hosoya couldn't help but relax, and then became puzzled: "Where are Zhenzhong-kun's parents?"
"They live in a relative's house." Li Xuehao said while letting Mrs. Xigu in.
Eriko Hosoya followed, changed into slippers at the entrance, and was ushered into the living room. Maybe because he knew he was the only one at home, the inexplicable tension in my heart disappeared.
Sitting down on the sofa, Li Xuehao went to make her a cup of hot tea first, and then sat down on the sofa opposite her, drinking tea with cookies.
"How does it taste, Shinaka-kun?" Seeing him eating a piece of dim sum, Eriko Hosoya asked with a trace of nervousness and anticipation.
"It's very delicious." Li Xuehao didn't hesitate to praise himself. Mrs. Hosoya's cooking skills are really superb. The baked cookies are neither dry nor hard, crispy and refreshing, sweet but not greasy, which makes people appetite.
"If Manaka-kun likes it, I will often make it and bring it over..." Seeing that he was eating happily, Eriko Hosoya was completely relieved, even happier than eating delicious food herself.
"It would be too costly." Li Xuehao was a little embarrassed, and also worried about Mrs. Hosogu's family fortune. Although she sold the original house and bought a house in this area, she still had some savings, but there would definitely not be much left over, even if Now I have a job in a convenience store, but the family's expenses are definitely not small, and he doesn't want to increase her burden.
Eriko Hosotani didn't speak, just looked at him with a gentle smile and shook her head. It seems that to her, spending money is not an important thing at all.
Li Xuehao didn't want to say any more spoiling words, and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking: "Is there an extra guest at Madam's house, is it Miss Qian Xia's friend?"
Hearing him mention the tenant at home, Eriko Hosoya looked at him with a strange gaze: "Does Zhenzhong-kun mean Miss Yaoer from China?"
"Yes." Li Xuehao nodded.
Eriko Hosoya looked at him even more strangely, obviously misunderstanding his purpose of inquiring about news: "Mr. Zhenzhong already has many girlfriends, do you want to find another one?"
"Ma'am, you misunderstood me, I'm just curious." Li Xuehao said with a wry smile, it seems that his "fascination" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, "Actually, I can speak Chinese. Last time I met Miss Yao'er, we communicated in Chinese. Pass…"
"Mr. Zhenzhong can speak Chinese?" Eriko Hosoya stared at him with a shocked expression. After all, Chinese is a foreign language. For her, anyone who knows foreign languages is a genius. At least she herself has no language talent, and she can't understand foreign languages at all.
"Well, Miss Qianxia was there at the time, I was just wondering why Miss Yao'er, a Chinese, came here, was it a tourist?" Li Xuehao asked.
"It shouldn't be a trip. Ms. Yao'er seems to be looking for someone, but she hasn't found it yet." Eriko Hosoya thought about it and said, "It may take a long time to find, so I rented a room..."
After listening to Mrs. Xigu's words, Li Xuehao also understood the identity of the other party. It turned out to be a tenant. At the same time, he was a little curious about who the other party was looking for: "Does Madam know who she is looking for?"
"This Miss Yao'er didn't mention it." Although Eriko Hosoya felt that his curiosity about that Miss Yao'er was a little too much, she didn't think too much about it, "Maybe Qian Xia knows, Qian Xia and Miss Yao'er are very close now. They are so close that people who don’t know think they are sisters.”
"Actually, we are more like sisters with my wife." Li Xuehao said with a smile, it was a sincere compliment, and he didn't mean to make fun of it. Mrs. Hosoya's age, if she doesn't say that she has a daughter who is studying in college, people will definitely misunderstand her as a young woman in her twenties and less than thirties.
"Shinaka-kun is really good at talking, no wonder there are so many girls like you." Eriko Hosoya blushed a little at the compliment, and of course the smile on her face betrayed that she was very happy to hear such words.
But the next moment, her body trembled suddenly, as if she had been frightened by something.
The thing that frightened her was that the doorbell rang again from outside. The sudden doorbell rang her startled, and subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide. But immediately her movements froze, thinking why did she hide? There was no need to do that at all, and she didn't do anything to be ashamed or guilty.
