There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

Wu Geng's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he asked coldly: "What are you doing here?"

When she showed this expression, she looked the cold and aloof that Li Nian had always known.

"What are you doing here...uh."

Li Nian hesitated. He came here to talk to someone, but when the words came to his lips, he smiled and said evasively: "Of course I'm here to eat. Where's Wu Geng? Are you here to have a bite to eat with your family?"

As he spoke, he looked up behind Wu Geng. That was the safety passage. There were no private room doors along the way, but the toilet seemed to be in that direction.

He turned his head to look in another direction and saw that "Shanhaiju" was the only private room at the end, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Wu Geng saw Li Nian's expression when he found the destination. His expression suddenly became complicated. He opened his mouth but said nothing.

Li Nian interpreted her silence as that she didn't want to see him and didn't want to pay attention to him, so he didn't care. He laughed and pointed to the private room.

"My friend is waiting. I'll go over first. See you next time."

Without asking any questions, he walked past Wu Geng and headed towards "Shanhaiju". He knocked on the door, and after hearing the invitation "Come in", he pushed the door open and walked in.

A middle-aged couple and two little girls were already seated at the round table. When they saw Li Nian come in, they immediately looked over.

This was a scene brought by the whole family, young and old, which Li Nian had not expected. However, he did not care too much and reported his identity first.

"Hello, I'm Li Nian. I'm here to discuss the house rental. Is this the right place?"

The middle-aged man and woman looked at each other, and saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes. The man turned around, looked at Li Nian, and carefully confirmed again.

"...You are Li Jun?"

There was obvious doubt in his tone.

They had already learned the name of the transferee from the intermediary and determined that it was Dalu Feng's name, so he specifically chose a Chinese restaurant to discuss the matter, but he did not expect that the person who came would be a high school student in uniform.

It was also Li Nian's fault that he had to work today and didn't have time to go back to the dormitory to change clothes. Otherwise, with his physique and face, he might not be recognized as a high school student in casual clothes. But at this point, Li Nian didn't care about that little thing. He walked straight to the table, sat down, and said lightly.

"I am right, but is there a law that prohibits high school students from being landlords?"

"No...Okay, I understand. Anyway, please take a seat."

Under the curious gaze of the two children, Li Nian sat down opposite the family and asked.

"I didn't even have time to ask the gentleman's name when he hung up on me. I don't even know what to call him."

I feel a little thirsty after walking all the way, Li Nian said, then raised the teacup and took a sip of the warm tea.

Seeing him like this, the middle-aged man put aside his doubts, smiled, and started talking.

"Look at my memory. I really forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wu Geng..."

"puff--"

Li Nian was choked and a mouthful of tea sprayed out of his nose, looking very embarrassed.

With a click, the door was pushed open and Gogen Ruri walked in.

Chapter 71: Secret Exposed

"Cough cough cough."

Li Nian coughed violently. Mr. Wu Geng didn't know why he reacted so strongly, but he immediately handed him the paper. Li Nian took it, wiped his nose and mouth twice, and said, "Sorry, I accidentally choked...", but his eyes glanced at Wu Geng Liuli who was standing at the door.

How could Li Nian still not understand the situation at this point? Because of this, he felt a little embarrassed.

Wu Geng looked at him with a smile.

"I heard you went to meet your friends? I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Li Nian heard the sarcasm in her tone, and then he came to his senses. He was too lazy to find words to refute and just shrugged.

"Yes, it's a coincidence."

The family that wanted to rent their own house was Wu Geng’s.

Mr. Gogen asked with a bewildered expression.

"Liuli, do you know this person?"

The girl hesitated and said, "I guess so."

Her ambiguous answer was unclear, so Li Nian smiled and supplemented it to explain it clearly.

"Gogen-san is my deskmate. I'm in the second year of class F at Sobu High School."

"I see……"

The Gogeng couple looked at Li Nian in surprise. Indeed, the child was also wearing the school uniform of Sobu High School, and the ribbon on the chest was red, symbolizing that he was in the same grade as his daughter... After realizing these two points, they quickly accepted this fact, and there was a slight change in their emotions as they looked at Li Nian.

"Onee-sama's classmate?"

"Does it really exist? This is the first time I've seen one, Hinata..."

The little girls who seemed to be Wu Geng’s two younger sisters looked at Li Nian with even more curiosity.

"It's quite a coincidence." Li Nian didn't want to dwell on this relationship, so he smiled and changed the subject, saying, "Since we have this relationship, I don't mind giving you guys a little more discount on the rent. I like to be direct, so why don't we talk about the house price first."

His reminder brought the Wu Geng couple back to their senses. They also understood that Li Nian did not want to disrupt the business discussion because of her classmate relationship with their daughter, so they nodded.

Wu Geng sat down silently next to his parents. Mr. Wu Geng glanced at his daughter, coughed, and calmed himself down before asking Li Nian questions.

"Before we talk about rent, can I ask a question?"

"You say."

"Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I would like to confirm first, do you really have the right to make the decision?"

It's no wonder that he raised this question. Anyone who sees a high school student talking about such things would have doubts.

Li Nian nodded decisively.

"I am the owner of the property and I have the right to dispose of my property. If you want to rent this house, you can only ask for my opinion."

"But at your age... let me say one more thing, shouldn't this kind of thing be decided by your parents?"

coming.

This was a question that was almost certain to be asked. Li Nian had anticipated it from the beginning. Originally, it was not difficult for him to answer, but...

Li Nian glanced at Wu Geng and frowned unconsciously.

The fact that he had unexpectedly been connected to this classmate made him hesitate about what he was about to say.

"Mr. Li?"

His hesitation was noticed by the couple, and they couldn't help but make some guesses, which could be seen from their expressions. Seeing this, Li Nian sighed, gave up his hesitation, and simply spoke.

"My parents are dead."

As expected, the whole place fell silent after these words were spoken.

This was a secret that Li Nian had never told anyone except those who knew it. Wu Geng heard it for the first time and looked at Li Nian in shock.

Li Nian expected the girl's reaction, but he didn't take it seriously and continued.

"I am the only son in my family. I inherited everything as an inheritance, including this house. Therefore, I have the right to dispose of it... Is this explanation okay?"

"I see. I'm sorry for bringing up bad memories of yours."

The cause and effect have been clearly explained, which is a sufficient and helpless reason. The Wu Geng couple no longer questioned and apologized for their presumptuous questions.

"It's okay." Li Nian waved his hand, and smiled and told Wu Geng who was still in shock: "This time it's Wu Geng's turn to keep the secret for me, please don't tell anyone."

"oh oh……"

Wu Geng barely came back to her senses and nodded hurriedly. Seeing her reaction, Li Nian couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

As expected, he is still a child. Even though he usually looks aloof, he obviously cannot accept some heavy things with practical significance when he hears them.

He only said this and didn't care how Wu Geng felt. It was enough to get her promise not to tell anyone. Li Nian turned to Wu Geng's parents.

"So now, can we talk about house prices?"

"of course can."

With this as a starting point, Li Nian began to discuss the serious matter of renting a house with the Wu Geng couple, and there was no room for children to interrupt.

He didn't know that at this moment, Wu Geng, after hearing the news of his parents' death, had already thought of more.

Gogen Ruri looked at the boy who was talking fluently with her parents' generation, and her eyes became more complicated.

This boy had undergone a huge change before and after the summer vacation. His presence and the impression he gave became completely different. Even though she was not very sociable, she was curious about this like everyone else in the class.

Li Nian was completely different before and after the summer vacation. It was not difficult to imagine that there must have been an opportunity for him to change during this period. In addition, he recently started renting out his house... Even a fool could easily deduce that his parents' death probably happened during the summer vacation, and that was the opportunity for him to change...

Compared with events in the distant past, events that happened not long ago have a deeper sense of reality for people.

What does it feel like to lose a parent?

Wu Geng couldn't help but think about it, and couldn't help but look at his parents. He thought about how they were still here with a smile on their faces, and now they were gone from him like this...

She found that she could not imagine, could not put herself in other people's shoes.

She didn't dare to think about the possibility of losing her closest relatives and her most stable support.

The death of parents... This old-fashioned setting that is often used in novels is so heavy and terrible in reality, carrying great sadness.

So what about Li Nian, who has to face and experience this reality?

What did you experience, think, and feel during this period?

What made him decide to change... and become the completely different person he is now?

At this time, her younger sister Hinata gently tugged at Gogen's sleeve.

"The one who talks to mom and dad feels so awesome~?"

"...Yes, it's really amazing."

Wu Geng felt that he could no longer see Li Nian clearly.

She thought of what Li Nian had said in the past and muttered to herself.

"…So, I'll give up temporarily…?"

Over there, Li Nian was listening carefully to what Mr. Wu Geng said. His ears caught the whisper, his heart moved slightly, and he glanced at her.

Chapter 72 That place will surely be filled with glory again

The conversation went smoothly.

The offer from the Wu Geng couple was slightly lower than Li Nian’s previous offer, but it was not excessive and was within an acceptable range.

During the conversation, Li Nian learned that the reason Wu Geng's family wanted to move to his place was because Mr. Wu Geng had a job transfer. The reason for choosing this apartment was because it was close to the city center, not far from the school where his two daughters studied, and had convenient transportation.

"If we are not transferred to a faraway place in the future, we plan to stay here at least until Xiao Liuli graduates from high school."

What they said expressed their need for long-term rental. Considering this, they were long-term customers, so it was normal for them to ask for a slight price reduction. After Li Nian bargained a little, they simply settled on a price that both parties were satisfied with.
