"I see...it feels like a relationship similar to that of a close friend."

"No."

Lily Ling took a sip of water and replied calmly.

"Hey, you look so happy..."

"No."

Lily Ling continued to deny coldly and looked at Chaoyang with a look that told him not to continue.

[Yurisuzu is being shy, isn't she?... She's really cute.]

"Haha, let's change the subject. I'm actually quite distressed right now. I have lost my memory and don't know anything. I don't know what to do."

"Why don't you just live leisurely here for now? Maybe your memory will naturally return... And if you need any help, just come to me. After all, I'm largely responsible for your memory loss, so I have an obligation to assist you. ... Sandwich's friends from the demon world have gone back for now. When they come back later, you can ask them. Sometimes they're like Doraemon, bringing out some strange props that might be able to help you. Before that, go to the hospital for a checkup."

Lily Ling searched her brain and tried her best to come up with reasonable suggestions.

Chaoyang was naturally very grateful.

-----------------

Soon the two of them had dinner.

Lily Ling seemed to be the type who only ate vegetables and not rice. She took a few mouthfuls of rice and handed it to Chaoyang.

"Rice is for you."

"Hmm? Thank you..."

【You only give me rice, but you also give me vegetables. 】

Chaoyang couldn't help but tease Lily Ling.

"You must have been hungry all day. One meal shouldn't be enough to fill you up."

"Uh...thank you for your concern."

【Is it simply out of kindness? 】

Since there were two meals to eat, Chaoyang's meal time was inevitably extended, and Lily Ling finished showing off the croquettes early.

She elegantly supported her face with the back of her hand and looked at the rising sun.

"Are you a Chinese international student? Your Japanese is surprisingly good, and your accent is almost indistinguishable."

"Ah, thank you for the compliment. Indeed... 'Jimei, you smell so good, I like you' Well, yes, I should be Chinese, and I have no difficulty speaking Chinese."

Chaoyang casually tested his Chinese and confessed his feelings at the same time.

"Hmm...what did you say just now?"

Of course he couldn't tell the truth.

"Just a few casual greetings. Lily Ling-san, are you a high school student now?"

"No, I'm a college student. Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy. I prefer to be praised for my maturity."

"I can't help it. Miss Yurisuzu is really petite and cute, so I can't help but guess that she is a high school student."

"...You're really used to praising girls. I don't really like guys who are slick and flattering."

Lily Ling looked at Chaoyang coldly.

"Oh…I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize. You can do whatever you want. I was simply expressing my opinion. ...Excuse me, I'll pack up a fried meatball set."

Lily Ling seemed to remember something when she was halfway through her words.

Suddenly he shouted to the waiter behind him.

"Are you still hungry? I still have a croquette here, if you don't mind..."

"No, this is for someone else."

"Oh, it's for the sandwich sauce, right?"

"No."

After receiving a negative answer, Chaoyang couldn't help but daydream.

[Isn't this for your boyfriend? Don't do that!]

"what?"

Seeing Chaoyang was halfway through his words, Lily Ling urged him to finish.

"nothing."

Chaoyang quickly finished the rest of the meal in amazing speed, wanting to accompany Lily Ling to deliver the meal to see who it was for.

228. In short, please give me your advice!

"So you have homeless friends? My apologies... I thought you were more of a loner type, surprisingly not particular about social connections when making friends."

After leaving the restaurant, Chaoyang followed Lily Ling to the park and saw several small houses made of cardboard boxes, which were obviously homes for homeless people.

"...Are you mocking me?"

Lily Ling glanced at Chaoyang and walked straight to a cardboard house in the corner of the park.

"Is Pecola here? I brought you something."

Chaoyang stood behind Lily Ling, waiting for some mysterious figure to appear.

"Pecora?"

An old voice was heard from inside the paper house, and then the paper door was pushed open, revealing the dirty face of a homeless man.

"Pecora is over there, I found the wrong one."

"Ah... I'm sorry."

Lily Ling said this and turned and walked away.

"Hmph, little brother, your girlfriend is a good girl. She comes to help Pecola time and time again. We are so envious... But if possible, I hope you can help Pecola leave this place. This is not a place for a little girl to stay. This is to escape from the desperate situation in life."

"Uncle, you talk too much... Are you just meddling in other people's business?"

Chaoyang couldn't help but teasing, where did all the emotion come from?

"Haha, maybe it's just that no one has spoken to me in a while. And it's the first time I've seen a girl who looks at me without any disdain. For a moment, I thought an angel had come to take me to heaven. Or maybe it's just that she looks like my daughter."

The uncle looked at Lily Ling's back and said with a smile.

"Uncle, this is your lucky share today."

Chaoyang took out a ten thousand yuan bill from his pocket and gave it to him.

"……why is that?"

The homeless man held the banknotes in both hands. Because he was in debt from his business, he resolutely divorced his wife and daughter for the sake of his wife and daughter, asking them to give up their inheritance rights and live in such a place with the debt he was carrying.

I thought nothing good would ever happen in my life from now on.

"Good things will happen to you if you live long enough. If you insist on giving me a reason, it's because you praised my girlfriend. If you don't need it, uncle, you can just exchange the money for food and share it with everyone."

After saying that, Chaoyang also followed Lily Ling and left, leaving behind the homeless man who hid in the house and shed tears secretly.

Chaoyang was thinking about other issues at this time.

[So it's a girl... There's actually a girl in a place like this!? ]

Chaoyang was shocked.

----------

"What does the witch want from me... the one behind... the witch's partner?"

The girl named Pecola in front of her looked at Lily Ling with a gloomy face, but it was obvious that she was malnourished and looked pitiful.

"I don't sound like a friend. By the way, am I really Yuriling's boyfriend? I'm kind of shy."

"No, just a neighbor. This is for you."

Lily Ling took out the lunch box from the plastic bag. The food inside was still warm and looked very delicious.

Pecola was obviously drooling, but suddenly, as if under a spell, she woke up and pushed her hands away.

"No, no! I can't accept charity from a witch. My angel's pride won't allow it!"

"Angel? Lily Ling looks like an ordinary person. What's going on?"

Chaoyang whispered into Lily Ling's ear and asked.

"It's a long story. I'll explain it to you on the way."

After speaking to Chaoyang, he sighed again.

"I've already told you I'm not a witch. Never mind. Do as you please. I'll leave my lunch box here and go back."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the park exit without caring about Pecola's attitude.

"You really are good at showing off."

Chaoyang stayed where he was, wanting to see what was going on and tease the stubborn girl in front of him.

"You should also leave Pekora. Pekora doesn't want to be associated with anyone related to witches!"

"Her name is Garden Lily Bell. Don't call her a witch, it's so rude. If you really are an angel, shouldn't you be more careful with your words? Or are angels just uneducated children? Lily Bell bought this especially for you and took a detour to get here."

"Well…"

Chaoyang could see that this girl named Pecola was indeed a good kid, and she obviously felt guilty, but she was just unable to say it out loud because of something.

"Well, although I don't quite understand your identity, Lily Ling treats you as a friend. If you really hate Lily Ling that much, it would be better to make it clear next time we meet. I hate seeing people who waste their feelings and give up their complexes in vain."

"She just came here without permission! I, I, I didn't..."

But Chaoyang left without hearing what she said.

Only the lunch box that Lily Ling had just put down was left.

after that

Finally, Pecola couldn't resist the temptation and ate her lunch box under the starry sky.

"Oh Lord, please bless the devil... No... Please bless the garden lily bell..."

Pecola was originally a high-ranking angel in heaven, but because she lost her angel ring, she completely lost her power and the qualification to return to heaven. She can only live alone in this world like a homeless person.

She originally hated witches and demons, but with the help of Lily Bell, she was finally willing to offer the angel's blessing to the witch who could summon the demon.

-----------------

"Where have you been?"

Lily Ling, who was standing at the intersection near the park, saw Chaoyang and asked.

"I just said a few words to that little girl. Seeing that she was acting weird, I pushed her a little to make her understand her emotions."

Chaoyang held the back of his head with both hands and spoke leisurely.

"Don't bother with unnecessary things, really. ...You want to understand that girl, right? Actually, she claims to be an angel from heaven and seems to hate demons and witches. She used to lurk in my closet, but she lost her angel ring in an accident, so she has to stay here. Ah, it has nothing to do with me, but looking at her, it seems like she'll starve to death on the streets at any time if I don't help her."

"Indeed, Yuri Ling is indeed a good person."

"...If you like to be praised so much, I suggest you find someone else to praise. After all, honorifics will naturally drop out."

"Yeah, I feel like we've become close enough that I'll just cancel it naturally. In exchange, you can call me Chaoyang."

"Haha... So Chaoyang, I'm sorry about everything today. Whether it's the spanking that caused you to lose your memory or the Sandwich Sauce scamming you out of your money, I have some responsibility. I don't intend to just let it go with a meal. I'll do my best to help you in the future, and please keep me informed."

"I'm a little embarrassed to be so formal all of a sudden. Rather, I think it's quite a good deal to be able to win a beautiful girl like Yuri Suzu as a friend with just one punch."

Chaoyang patted his belly and laughed out loud, trying to ease the atmosphere which was a little serious because of Lily Ling.

But he also bowed and spoke solemnly.

"...Please take care of me in the future, Yurisuzu. Also, if you need anything, feel free to ask me for help. There's still a lot I don't understand about this world, but I quite like it."
