As the saying goes, when it comes to acting, it’s all about the show.
Since I said I want to pretend to live here, I definitely need to decorate it. The apartment style in Baiyun Mountain is relatively simple, so it is very simple to pretend to be a little bit.
After breakfast, Hashimoto Nana took out the luggage she had brought - it was said to be luggage, but in fact it was just some simple clothes and items. After all, she wanted to give the illusion of living here, and it was obvious just by talking about it. It's still a bit hard to convince people, especially if Mrs. Ueno wants to come over and take a look, but finds that there is not even a girl's clothes inside, which is obviously a huge flaw.
These things will be temporarily placed here. Fortunately, although Hashimoto Nanami studied at Musashino Art University when she was in college, her subject had little to do with painting. She majored in visual communication design, so she was still concerned about the decoration and placement in the space. If you have some experience, don't worry about seeing flaws.
Looking at the decorated room, Baiyunshan patted the dust on his hands and nodded with satisfaction.
This room was originally his parents' room, but after his death a few years ago, it has been vacant to store clutter. Now it has been cleaned up and looks brand new, but it has a different sense.
"Hey, are these Baiyun Sang's parents?"
Hashimoto Nana looked at the group photo hanging on the wall beside her bed. The man and woman in it were only in their twenties and thirties, and their facial features were obviously similar to those of Baiyun Mountain.
"Yeah, I probably died in an accident when I was fourteen or fifteen years old. It feels like it was a long time ago." Baiyunshan took down the group photo and said this lightly.
But this was not the case for Nana Hashimoto. She stared at the group photo for a long time, and then sighed softly: "Does this mean Baiyun-san has come here alone for so many years? It's really amazing!"
"What's so great about this?" Bai Yunshan shook his head: "If we talk about suffering in this world, there are many people who live more miserable lives than me, and there are countless people who have lost their parents due to various reasons. I have survived these years. I have no worries about food and clothing, and I have met many kind-hearted people who have helped me, such as the Yangchuan store manager, he is much better than me!"
"But you will still be lonely! There is no one at home and you are living alone. Won't Baiyun-san feel scared?" Hashimoto Nanami continued to ask.
"Afraid -" Baiyunshan thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head: "Fear comes from the unknown. For me, I am mentally prepared for any bad outcome, so I can't really say that I am afraid. , because I have already expected a similar situation."
After hearing this, Hashimoto Nana's eyes seemed to be touched, and then she shifted her gaze slightly and looked at the side corner.
Then, she saw a photo on the bedside table.
"Hey - is this Baiyun-san from childhood?"
She screamed in surprise, then leaned over to pick up the photo and look at it carefully, and then laughed: "I didn't expect Baiyun-san to be so cute when he was a child, with a round face, just like Asuka-chan and Marika-chan. !”
Baiyunshan twitched his lips and complained: "Cute? You are the first person to describe me like this in so many years! I really belong to you."
Nana Hashimoto smiled and said: "It's indeed very cute! I also have a younger brother at home. Although he is a little older than Baiyun-san in the photo, he is also very cute. If I have a chance, I can introduce him to you. "
"Forget it, I always have a feeling that if that guy really sees me, something bad might happen." Baiyunshan waved his hand and refused.
...
It's ten o'clock in the morning, the sun is shining brightly, at the Ueno house.
After the preparations were completed, the two went straight to the topic and arrived here without any delay.
Hashimoto Nana took a nervous breath and rang the doorbell.
"Ding dong."
With the clear ringing of the doorbell, the hostess of the house rushed over in a hurry, then opened the door and leaned out half of her body to take a look.
"It's you Hashimoto, what's the matter?" This famously mean woman from Wudong Saka looked very calm and dignified, with a slightly longer face and smooth features. She didn't look aggressive at all. If she hadn't looked at With his blond hair tied up in a bun, Baiyunshan almost thought it was the legendary Mr. Ueno.
"I'm here to cancel the lease." Nana Hashimoto hesitated for a moment and then said it.
"Cancel the lease, no problem." Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ueno was surprisingly easy to talk to. She nodded and invited the two of them in.
The two people in Baiyunshan looked at each other and then filed in.
Mrs. Ueno took the lead and led the way, with the two of them following behind. It looked like the atmosphere was normal.
"Have you found a new place to live nearby?" Mrs. Ueno asked without looking back.
Hashimoto Nana glanced at Baiyun Mountain subconsciously, then nodded and said: "Ah, yes, I have found it, otherwise I would not have come to cancel the lease."
"How is the place? Is the rent expensive? How is the equipment? Is the transportation convenient? You seem to still have to work. Are there any suspicious people nearby?" Mrs. Ueno asked a series of questions as if to find fault, but her tone remained the same. The ordinary state left Hashimoto Nana at a loss.
She dealt with them one by one, and was about to ask Baiyunshan for help, but saw Baiyunshan's thoughtful expression.
Not long after walking, I arrived at the living room of Mrs. Ueno's house. In the living room, a middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, drinking green tea and reading the newspaper. He had soft facial features and a slightly fat body. He had the figure of a typical middle-aged office worker, with a raised nose. Wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, he looks quite elegant.
Of course, this is the landlord, Mr. Ueno.
Mr. Ueno is a typical honest, honest and kind-hearted person. Perhaps it is precisely because he has a wife like Mrs. Ueno that Mr. Ueno's kindness is mentioned even more. Generally speaking, the residents near Wudongzaka are frustrated by Mrs. Ueno's house, and they can't help but complain a few words after dinner. At this time, someone will definitely say something about Mr. Ueno, and then lament how these two people are so good. Are you married?
"Husband, Hashimoto is here to cancel the rent. I will take her inside first to collect the original rent and deposit."
"Go and do your work. Thank you for your hard work."
"Um."
Mr. and Mrs. Ueno have been an old couple for decades. After the daily conversation, Mrs. Ueno led Nana Hashimoto to the room where the contract was locked, took out the belongings, and then calculated the needs one by one. Refundable rent.
Baiyunshan was the only two people left in the living room.
The two had never met, and Mrs. Ueno did not ask Hashimoto Nana why she would bring a man with her when she quit the lease in the future. Therefore, they had never communicated, and they did not even know their names. The atmosphere seemed a bit silent for a while.
Mr. Ueno seemed to be used to such scenes. He put down the newspaper calmly, made a cup of tea for the guest, and gently invited Baiyunshan to sit over and chat.
Baiyunshan certainly has no reason to refuse.
Looking at Baiyunshan's eyes, Mr. Ueno smiled, and then took the initiative to say: "Ueno Keigo."
"Baiyun Mountain."
The two of them announced their names and did not introduce much. Mr. Ueno said: "Mr. Baiyun should recognize me. Well, maybe he should say he knows me."
Baiyunshan did not deny it, nodded and said: "Indeed."
Mr. Ueno glanced at him in surprise and said with a smile, "Aren't you curious how I know this?"
Baiyunshan took a sip of the brewed tea and explained: "The logic is very simple. A stranger who has never met him came to his home and saw him sitting here drinking tea but he didn't react at all. He looked normal. This shows that the person who came here already knew what kind of person he was before, and it was in line with his expectations, so this is the reason for this situation."
Mr. Ueno raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but glance at him and said, "Mr. Baiyun is very observant and very powerful."
Baiyunshan cupped his hands and said, "We are each other. Mr. Ueno can tell at a glance that I recognize you, which is amazing."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Men's friendship comes at such a strange time. The two of them met for the first time, and it didn't even last half an hour. They just exchanged a few business words, and they were already chatting.
After a few words of chatting and laughing, Mr. Ueno said again: "I believe that since Mr. Baiyun knows me, he should know my wife even more. Isn't there a big gap with expectations?"
Baiyunshan did not shy away from it, nodded and said: "Indeed."
"My wife has a somewhat special reputation outside, but I have never seen it before, so I can only hear it from hearsay. When I saw it this time, I found that there is really a big difference. But after talking to Mr. No, I gradually understood the difference. reason."
"Oh, how do you say this?" Mr. Ueno showed a hint of curiosity on his face.
"Hehe, it's very simple, isn't it?" Baiyunshan grinned and then explained.
