It's just a grocery store.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Yukimura has been living here with Zero Time for several weeks. Under Zero Time's care, Yukimura's health can only be said to be better than before he fell ill.

The two of them also developed some tacit understanding with each other, such as a more reasonable distribution of housework, such as when Yukimura cooks, he washes the dishes.

And Yukimura would just raise his hand and instantly hand over the corresponding item, although he would still occasionally give it to the wrong person and make a fool of himself.

System: It doesn't look like the host wants to leave immediately.

Zero Hour: You don’t understand, so you can only be a little weasel.

Lingshi poked the system onto the table, then tickled its belly with his big hands. The system screamed and waved its limbs to stop him.

Yukimura was sitting on the other side of the sofa reading a book. They must have gotten to know each other better. They didn't know when it started, but now they were sitting together in the living room instead of sitting in their own rooms.

Lingshi withdrew his hand from bullying the system, and the system immediately got up, turned around and fled towards Yukimura.

Zero Hour: "Tsk, you bastard."

Yukimura smiled and accepted the weasel into his side, and even shared an apple with it. The system proudly showed off to Zero Hour.

Lingshi expressed his confusion and even thought of dragging the system back and giving it a beating.

Zero Hour: I was the one who cut it, right? Shouldn’t I be the one you should thank?

System: Lululu, you are just jealous that Yukimura feeds me.

The system's smug expression was practically embodied on the weasel's face. He really wanted to slap it in the face, but unfortunately Yukimura was here, so it was difficult to do so.

I rubbed my fingers at midnight and felt itchy, so I picked up an orange and started peeling it.

An orange with the peel torn off was placed in the fruit plate in front of him, and Yukimura immediately stopped Lingshi from taking another orange.

Yukimura: "Brother Toki, that's enough. I can't finish it."

Since the way the two of them get along has changed, they spend more time together in the living room, and there is a plate of fruit and a plate of snacks on the coffee table.

Ling Shi was used to processing all the fruits at once and then eating them slowly. He would always make two fruit plates and give one to Yukimura.

Young people don't usually eat fruit on their own initiative, but someone prepared it and put it in front of them. If they don't eat it, Reitoki will be sad. Yukimura sometimes feels that Reitoki is more virtuous than his mother.

Yukimura: At home, everything is washed and left there for anyone to eat. Only my mother will occasionally cut a small fruit plate to reward me and my sister who are still studying in the evening.

Yukimura picked up the clean orange, looked at it carefully and praised Lingshi's superb technique. It was the first time he saw it and he really wanted to share it.

So Yukimura followed his heart and took photos and sent them to his friends.

Sanada: Yukimura? This is, Tangerine, how did it become like this?

Yukimura: Yes ^_^ That’s amazing.

Sanada:……

Liu: Even though it doesn’t have the pith, it’s 100% an orange.

Yukimura: As expected of Yanagi, you guessed it right away.

Yukimura was chatting with them on the phone, not forgetting to put the orange into his mouth to eat. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Lingshi and the weasel Kiriko quarreling again.

Yukimura first heard the name Weasel from Reitoki on the third day of his stay, and he kept calling him that.

Although Tongzi seems to be able to recognize his own name every time, he always looks like he wants to say something but hesitates. His expressions are really rich, this weasel.

System: Host, why is what I gave you different?

Midnight: What’s the difference? They’re not all fruits.

System: Biased, the host is biased!

Midnight: Sorry, I’ll see you next time.

If this noisy life were suddenly broken one day, I would definitely not be used to it.

Yukimura thought about it honestly and started to think of the next excuse to deal with the family's visit. After all, he said at the beginning that he would only stay for a while.

They spent some time together like this, and finally, at the entrance, Lingshi handed the key to the grocery store to Yukimura.

Yukimura: "What is this?"

Zero Hour: "Can I give you the master key to the grocery store, please?"

Yukimura didn't understand what he meant, or perhaps he didn't dare to believe what he understood.

Yukimura asked Reiji calmly if he was going on a long trip, and Reiji answered directly:

"Yes, I have to go away for a long, long time and won't be able to take care of this place."

Reishi reached out his hand, and Yukimura didn't dodge. Just like the day they first met, he let Reishi ravage his head.

Zero Hour: "Little Jingshi, you are completely healed now, you know it."

Yukimura: "Is this why you left?"

Ling Shi: "How could that be? This means you no longer need me. The deal is done, and that's it."

Yukimura: "That doesn't mean you'll leave."

Ling Shi: "It's just work needs, just treat it as me going on a business trip."

Yukimura finally calmed down. He had no right to stop Reitoki's departure. It was just too sudden and a bit nonsensical.

It was unknown when Reiji became a person that Yukimura valued, and now this sudden separation made Yukimura feel a little dizzy.

Ling Shi couldn't help but hug Yukimura, who was holding his forehead, and comforted him softly:

"It's okay, relax, we'll meet again."

Lingshi lied to him because even Lingshi himself didn't know if they could meet again. According to the terms of the transaction, all relations would be severed after the transaction was completed.

Even the initial statement was all an excuse. The medicine in the system mall cannot be taken by outsiders unless they have a close relationship with the bound person.

Zero Time exploited a loophole in the rules and made Yukimura a store clerk, creating a relationship between them. In order to prevent the drug from losing its effect, he also kept Yukimura under observation for so long.

For all of this, the system is Zero Time's accomplice. It's because the host is so willful and wants Yukimura to recover without losing anything.

The trading system, the so-called trading, is the exchange of goods for goods. The old man who exchanged his wife's health for his lost his most important vision.

As for the transaction with Yukimura, it was more like a scam by the Zero Hour system, just to deceive the rules behind the system.

System: Host, if you don't fill the loophole quickly, it will be discovered.

Zero Hour: I know, right away.

Reitoki's arms around Yukimura loosened, but someone hugged him back, and he was a little surprised.

Yukimura is not a fool. He can feel how good Reitoki is to him. Even when they first met, he was too enthusiastic towards him even though they had just met.

Ling Shi was like a peacock spreading its tail. He never concealed his kindness towards Yukimura, and it was also like an expression of possessiveness.

Yukimura: "I still have a lot of questions, but you can tell me when you come back."

Reitoki laughed. This was Yukimura. He was such a smart man that he immediately understood why Reitoki gave him the key.

Yukimura finally let go of his hand, took a step back, lowered his head and looked at him for a moment, and the two of them said goodbye.

Zero Hour: "Goodbye."

Yukimura: "Well, bye."

As soon as Lingshi walked out of the door, he teleported into the system space on the spot, so that after Yukimura chased him out, he was unable to see his last figure.
