After Boqi moved into my closet, the quiet life is gone forever

"..."

I went downstairs to check and found that the girl was still sitting there as if she had been forgotten.

Chaoyang sighed, walked out, and headed straight for the convenience store.

"Huh? Master?"

Aula saw Chaoyang return again, and walked to the counter to pay with a bottle of cold drink, a bottle of hot tea and a box of hot packs.

"It's a bit cold at home."

Chaoyang simply said this.

Aula didn't ask any more questions and paid the bill for Chaoyang.

"732 yuan. ... I took 9268 yuan and gave you yuan in change. Please take care, sir."

"Don't use that name when you're working. People might think this store has some special services."

Chaoyang looked around and saw that there was no one around. He blushed slightly and reminded Aura.

Seeing Aura nodded, Chaoyang said no more.

While walking on the street, Chaoyang was still thinking about how to start a conversation without sounding suspicious.

He took out a cold drink and walked into the apartment while drinking it. The girl was still sitting there motionless. Chaoyang tried his best to make himself look like a man who was thirsty in the middle of the night and went out to buy a drink.

"..."

Their eyes met.

"Did you forget your keys?"

Chaoyang finally chose to speak directly, he couldn't beat around the bush.

But as soon as the girl opened her mouth, Chaoyang regretted talking to her.

"...Uncle?"

"Hey, do I look that old? ...I'm from 203 down the road. I just came back and saw you sitting at the door. I came down to get some water and saw you were still there, so I asked about it. I'm sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable."

The girl just shook her head slightly.

"I'm not feeling unwell... Thank you, uncle. I'm staying here not because I forgot my keys, but for another reason."

Chaoyang didn't ask any more questions. Since he was unwilling to say anything specific, he must have something to hide.

"Haha, if you don't mind, this is for you."

He took out some still warm hot tea and an unwrapped heat pad from the plastic bag and handed them to the girl sitting on the ground.

The girl looked very hesitant, but maybe she was really feeling a little uncomfortable due to the cold, so she finally accepted Chaoyang's kindness.

"Thank you... Uncle..."

"...Don't call me uncle...I'm only in my twenties...maybe"

Chaoyang doesn't know how old he is because of his amnesia, but he feels that he is very young in his mentality. It may be an exaggeration to say that he is in his teens, but he will not be over 30. Even if he looks a little old, it may just be because he doesn't like to take care of himself.

"perhaps?"

"Nothing... Don't mind me, I'm just not in the right place."

Chaoyang didn't know that if he explained, he would only end up making fun of himself.

"It's so warm...thank you...お哥さん"

The girl held hot tea in her hands.

"Well... then take care of yourself and put the heat pack on quickly."

Chaoyang's kindness stopped there. He didn't know the other person's situation, so it was impossible for him to invite a little girl he met for the first time to his house late at night.

I have resolved a problem in my heart and should be able to sleep peacefully now.

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

When I woke up the next morning

Aula had returned to the house and was kneeling beside Chaoyang, watching him wake up.

"...Fuck, I'm so scared...Don't demons need to sleep?"

"As long as the demons can rest for a while at a safe time every few days, it will be enough to maintain their body functions."

"That's really convenient for you guys. What time is it now?"

“Well…it’s exactly 8:30 now.

"Is that so... Then let's go out for a walk and have breakfast, and by the way, see if there is any way to restore my memory. I always feel like I have forgotten a lot of important things."

231. The Realistic Side of Lily Ling

After washing up, Chaoyang put on his coat and walked out of the house.

"Hey~~ Master, don't you need me to accompany you?"

"Need not."

Chaoyang couldn't explain the reason, but he subconsciously didn't want Aura to follow him.

Because it was Chaoyang's unconscious order, Aura, bound by obedience magic, could only stop in front of the entrance.

[…This guy…I thought he’d be obsessed with me after losing his memory…but I didn’t expect him to keep his distance even more than before. I guess I need to be more proactive.]

After Chaoyang closed the door, Aura stood in front of the entrance, looking at the closed door indifferently and thinking about how to get free.

"I'm leaving now. Sandwich Sauce, stay home and watch over the house."

Just as she took a step forward, the door of Lily Ling's house in Room 202 next door was also pushed open. Lily Ling was still dressed as a Gothic Lolita, with a decorative small hat on her head. As she walked out of the house, she did not forget to remind Sandwich Sauce.

Chaoyang was the first to greet.

"Good morning."

"Ah... good morning. I was surprised to find you up so early. I thought you were like Sandwich, the type who doesn't wake up until noon."

Chaoyang scratched his head.

"Do I make such a bad impression on you?"

"That's just my feeling. There's no good or bad."

After saying this, Lily Ling turned around and walked towards the stairs, and Chaoyang immediately followed behind her.

"Where is Lily Ling going?"

"University."

"Oh... Come to think of it, Yurisuzu is still a college student. And since Sandwich-chan mentioned that I'm an international student, then I should be a college student too..."

"At your age, you should be in graduate school."

Lily Ling looked back at Chaoyang's face and expressed her opinion.

"But I don't think I'm actually that old. It's just my face that's old."

Listening to Chaoyang's explanation, Lily Ling turned her head away without comment.

"...Let's not talk about this topic... Ah, good morning."

When I walked outside the wall of the apartment building, I saw a girl with pink hair and a double spiral ponytail wearing a dress, wearing an apron and sweeping the floor with a big broom, which was very discordant.

After hearing Lily Ling's greeting, the pink-haired girl immediately turned around and greeted her with a smile.

"Hey, good morning~"

"Garden Lily Bell in Room 202, thank you for your kindness, it's our first meeting."

[So this is also the first time Yuri Suzu has seen this pink-haired girl... Looks like she's the apartment manager... Speaking of which, the probability of beautiful girls appearing in this apartment is really high. Yuri Suzu, the manager in front of her, and that guy from yesterday are all pretty cute.]

The girl who seemed to be the administrator immediately responded with an even brighter smile.

"Hey, my name is Pino. Please take care of me from now on~~Who's next to me?"

"Ah... My name is Chaoyang... I'm... a resident here..."

Chaoyang didn't know whether the rental contract here prohibited bringing others in without permission, so he could only hesitantly say that he was a resident. Fortunately, Pino didn't seem to be abnormal and just continued to say polite words.

"Please take care of me. If you have any troubles, please feel free to contact me."

"Okay, thank you. I'll remember that."

Lily Ling bowed slightly after the greeting was completed.

"Then let's go."

"Bon voyage~~"

Pino gently waved his hand and watched Chaoyang and Lilyling leave.

"By the way, which university does Yuriling attend?"

"Meiji University."

"Hey...which university am I in?"

"Don't ask me about that. You idiot Sandwich-chan, it looks like you only remembered a little bit of the information. Did Miss Aura tell you anything?"

After hearing Lily Ling's reminder, Chaoyang went over it carefully in his mind and realized that Aura really didn't reveal much about what he said.

"Aura...ah...come to think of it, she barely gave me any information...I'll have to ask for more details next time. She let me get away with it. By the way, I want to ask you something. Do you know anything about the residents of this apartment building?"

"No, is there anything you're concerned about?"

Chaoyang told Baiheling everything that happened last night while they were walking and chatting.

"...I see...I've never seen that before, but...if you really want to help her, it would be best to contact a public institution..."

"I see. That's unexpected, though. I thought you were the kind of person who was more eager to help others."

Chaoyang looked at Lily Ling's calm profile, and she was not moved at all by what Chaoyang said.

"You may have misunderstood something. At least I'm not the good person you think I am."

"Yesterday, I clearly said to that kid in the park..."

"Because she's somehow implicated by us, and is often bullied by Sandwich Sauce."

Lily Ling closed her eyes and paused for a moment, then looked at Chaoyang seriously.

"Luckily, you didn't take the liberty of letting the girl rest at your house. Bringing a minor into your home would constitute abduction and kidnapping of a minor. Even a first-time offender wouldn't receive a suspended sentence, but instead be directly punished. ...While Sandwich and I might make you think this world is bizarre, apart from our surroundings, it actually operates according to normal order. I tentatively believe this is the inherent distortion of reality brought on by Sandwich and the other demons."

After saying that, Lily Ling raised her wrist and looked at her watch.

"It's almost time for class. If you have nothing else, let's split up here."

At this moment, the two of them have reached a fork in the road.

Chaoyang originally planned to separate and find a restaurant to have breakfast, but suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"Um... I have a request. Could you take me to university classes? Maybe I can remember something..."

Originally, Lily Ling wanted to refuse. She wanted to be alone in college and not participate in any activities or social gatherings.

But after Chaoyang finished talking about memories, he felt a surge of guilt in his heart.

In the end, it was just a cold verbal expression.

"...You don't need me to lead you, do you? The university doesn't prevent outsiders from entering, so you can just follow along without permission."

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

In the university cafeteria at 11 o'clock

"Haa ...

During lunch break, Lily Ling brought Chaoyang to the university cafeteria.

"Uh, no, sorry... there was something wrong with the main course."

He hadn't expected Yuriling to be in the literature department, and he hadn't really had much interest in the Japanese Literature Studies course. He hadn't printed out the textbooks he needed, so Chaoyang fell asleep mid-sentence. Luckily, there were plenty of people catching up on their sleep in the back row, so he wasn't too noticeable.

"I have a private lecture by the professor this afternoon, and this is not open to the public. What are you going to do?"
