The next day was sunny from the morning. Accompanied by the roar of the washing machine coming from the direction of the locker room, Wu Ze and Lao Tietou met together to discuss in a low voice. "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome." "So didn't I say that it's impossible to let her live here." There were only two sets of quilts, so Wu Ze and Lao Tie had to cover them with one quilt at night.Of course, the problem could be solved by buying a new quilt, but the real headache for both of them was the fact of living in the same house with a young girl. First of all, Wu Ze woke up and wanted to pee, but the bathroom door was closed tightly, and the sound of shower water came from inside. Wu Ze had to go back and forth in the living room and kitchen, and endured it for forty minutes.On the way, Lao Tie also got up, and endured for more than 20 minutes.After the two of them solved their physical problems, they saw that the weather was fine and planned to do laundry, but at this time they began to look at each other again.You go to ask, no, you go to ask, the two of them tossed and turned for a long time, and finally Wu Ze went to find Zhenxun, pretending to be nonchalant and asked her if she wanted to do laundry.Help me wash it together, Zhenxun said while casually taking T-shirts and underwear out of the travel bag, Wu Ze hurriedly reached out to stop him and said, this is not allowed.Zhen Xun looked at Wu Ze for a long time with an expressionless face, and finally said, then I will be in charge of doing the laundry.Wu Ze suggested that the clothes of himself and Lao Tie should be washed separately from Zhenxun's. Zhenxun said that would be a waste of water and electricity bills.Although it was strange for her to say that, it was really good.In the end, Wu Ze judged that it was better for her to wash her own clothes than to wash Shinhiro's clothes and underwear by herself, so she let her do the laundry.

"Anyway, I'm going to buy a quilt today. I always dream of dolphins when I sleep with you, and I even grab the quilt at night." "You lifted the quilt yourself, okay?" "Anyway, let's go shopping after breakfast." "Got it. Then I'll go change my clothes." Lao Tie took out his pants from the closet in the living room, and when he was about to take off his pajama pants, he just took off one leg, and Zhen Xun came in.With a strange cry, Lao Tie hopped out of the room on one leg. While eating breakfast, Mahiro seemed a little absent-minded.She buried her head and ate the bread slowly, occasionally looked up at the wide open window, sighed softly, then lowered her head and continued to gnaw the bread.

"I don't seem to be in the mood." Wu Ze was ignored. "Sure enough, you still hate washing men's clothes?" The old iron was also ignored. "It's really moody, that guy." Lao Tie was washing the dishes while talking to Zhen Xun. "It might be nice that her father didn't name her 'Zhenyun'." "Ah, really." The name Zhenxun seems to have been given by his father.Last night over a big bowl of curry, she told the two of them. "At the beginning, I hoped that I would become a child with a clean heart, so it was called 'Zhenyun', which means 'pure white'."

In other words, the old iron may not be so wrong when he calls the wrong name. "Why did your father change it to "Zhen Xun" again?" "Well, it's because it's hard to shout?" Lao Tie's beer can is close to his mouth, Zhenyun, Zhenxun, Zhenyun, Zhenxun, repeating. "I don't know about this kind of thing. Anyway, that's what my mother said. It was Zhenyun at first." She said. After dinner, while eating persimmon seeds, I watched a quiz show in the living room.I don't know if it's the effect of the beer, but Lao Tie slowly began to doze off, and then he fell sideways, with his eyes and mouth half-opened, and he started a real sleep. Wu Ze politely said to Zhenxun.

"Can I ask about your mother?" Shinhiro didn't answer, but he didn't refuse either.Wu Ze continued. "Why did your mother commit suicide?" "In debt." Shinzo still looked at the TV and answered briefly. "Is that so... Suffering from debts and committing suicide!" "Debt collectors came to the house and threatened her. Mom finally couldn't take it anymore and committed suicide. The neighbor next door to the apartment said." "Oh?" The voice on the TV suddenly rang.Wu Ze turned his head to look, and saw that the actress on TV seemed to be shyly covering her face with her hands and talking about something.

"This kind of laughter, I thought it went somewhere!" "laughter?" "Well, not just the laughter, but all the..." Wu Ze looked at Shinhiro's side face, and she repeated what she had just said with a blank expression. "Where did everyone go?" Then she said nothing.Wu Ze silently listened to the laughter on the TV. "Well, the person who forced your mother to commit suicide, if you meet him in the future, what will you do?" Well, she turned her head slightly. "Maybe kill him!" The sound of the TV and the old man's snoring came and went.The two listened quietly for a while.

"However, there are all kinds of people in this world. Really." Finally, Zhenxun put his hands behind his buttocks and said in a soft voice: "I thought there were only people who threatened to ask for money, but I didn't expect that there would be people who offered to help, and they were thieves who didn't care at all." Old Tie hiccupped in his sleep. "This is pretty much the first time I've had help." In order to conceal the feelings surging in his heart, Wu Ze picked up a persimmon seed from the table and threw it in the direction of Lao Tie.

He didn't aim at it deliberately, but the persimmon species hit the nail on the head.The old iron snorted softly "ah".Zhenxun laughed.This is the first time I heard her laugh.Mahiro himself seemed to be aware of this, and immediately fell silent again. "I take my mother's belongings with me everywhere I go." Shinhiro took out something from the handbag left in the corner and showed it to Wu Ze.It was a small translucent plastic bag, and Wu Ze saw a post-it note and some small change inside. "Is this a relic?" "Well, the relic." "A few hundred and ten coins were placed on the table in the apartment on the day my mother cut her wrist and committed suicide," Shinzo said, "I'm afraid it was all the property at that time."

Beneath the coin is this post-it, with "Sorry" written in pencil. Zhenxun showed Wu Ze the words written on the note through the plastic bag. "Post-it, I can't believe it. I didn't even have a piece of paper or anything. I was so useless that I cried. "When I reached for this sticky note, the coins falling from the edge of the paper made a slight collision sound, and that sound still echoes in my ears." Shinzo said.
