I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

Mainly because of the extraordinary existence, Minase Nayuki had to re-examine what someone once said.

For example, someone claims to be old or something.

If everything someone ever said was true...

A stepfather who looks about the same age as me...?

What kind of graphic novel setting is this!

Huh~~Really...

Minase Nayuki always felt that this was inappropriate, but she couldn't tell where it was inappropriate, so she had to wonder in the end.

When it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, Nangong Xiao said goodbye as usual.

This time, Minase Nayuki was straightforward and offered to send someone off.

Akiko Minase didn't say anything, she only reminded her to come back early, and went to busy herself with her own affairs.

Walking side by side with Akatsuki Nangong on the relatively lonely street under the street lights, Nayuki Minase finally spoke.

"That, senior, are you... sincere?"

"Sincerely? Do you mean my affection for your mother?"

"Yes. Senior, please answer me seriously. This is very important to me."

When Minase Nayuki spoke, she walked around in front of Nangong Xiao, blocking the way, and stopped Nangong Xiao's footsteps.

Looking at the stubborn little girl in front of her eyes, Nangong Xiao told the truth, "I have a certain degree of affection, but it's not that deep."

"Eh? What is this?"

"This is my attitude towards Qiuzi, like a man and a woman with similar interests. The initial good impression originated from a common topic. They are friends and potential 'relatives'. Whether they can develop depends on whether they can achieve success in getting along in the future Further life consensus."

"...Can I understand that senior doesn't plan to take the initiative to launch an offensive?"

"It's not like a ten-year-old child can fly moths to a flame with the little throbbing in his heart that comes from hormones. The communication between adults pays more attention to the needs of real life. If you have been in contact for a long time, both parties They both feel that they can live together with each other, and that’s the next step.”

"do not understand at all."

"When you're older, you'll understand."

"This is the world of adults... okay..."

If it was a little weak, the little girl couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

"Okay, don't worry about this kind of thing. Neither I nor Qiuzi actually have any thoughts about that at the moment. It's just an ordinary social behavior."

"Senior, what did you mean when you said that before?"

"Your face art is very interesting~"

"What do you mean... um? Senior, you did it on purpose... This is bullying!"

"Ha ha..."

"stop laughing!"

"Okay, I don't laugh."

"Ugh-"

The little girl pouted.

Although it seemed that she was having a fight, the little girl was in an unusually good mood at the moment.

Although she also knew that it was only temporary, it was enough for the little girl.

In essence, she does not object to her mother's remarriage, but she needs some time to adjust herself.

Especially when the remarried partner is very special, she needs to make self-preparation in advance.

"Okay, just send it here. When you go back, remember to tell Qiuzi that I have something to do in the next few days, so I won't come to the door for dinner."

"Oh... eh? Senior... you won't be because of me... eh~~"

Before she finished talking, the little girl was flicked lightly on the forehead by someone.

"Please don't underestimate the thickness of my skin."

"Senior, this is not something to be complacent about...Forget it, I will tell my mother, but senior, don't really stop coming because of what I said."

"You look so contradictory."

"This is also impossible..."

Mom is really happy when she is with you, that kind of smile from the heart makes people a little jealous...

"Ok?"

"No, it's nothing. Anyway, it's settled like this. Senior, you must come here when you are free."

"Okay, when I'm free, I'll definitely come to bother you again."

"Well, then, I will go back too, good night, senior."

"Good night."

After saying goodbye, Nangong Xiao watched the little girl off for a while, then walked towards Fujino House.

At a corner, Nangong Xiao met Ryoko Asakura who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Master~ You seem to like Minase mother and daughter very much~"

"Well, I really like it."

While Nangong Xiao was speaking, she also lifted her chin, signaling Asakura Ryoko to follow him.

Asakura Ryoko followed Nangong Xiao's footsteps and walked side by side, and said again.

"Master, is this...'big and small take all'?"

"Thinking about you too much—didn't I say that you can move freely? Why did you come here?"

"I don't have a clear rebuttal. Sure enough, the boy is... well, as long as the master is happy." Ryoko Asakura did not continue the topic, but smiled, and then changed, "As for why he came here ...Well, as a 'pet', how can people stay away from their owners?"

"to be frank."

"Hmph~" Seeing that Nangong Xiao didn't answer, Asakura Ryoko had no choice but to say regretfully, "I'm actually...a little at a loss...hehe, really, it's a failure..."

As he spoke, Asakura Ryoko smiled a little embarrassedly.

Nangong Xiao nodded and said, "Understood. After all, the status and situation changed suddenly. Except for those who are really heartless, they can only rely on the phrase 'whatever comes, you will be at ease'. Apart from feeling good about yourself and cutting off everything in the past, normal people are basically None of them can adapt to sudden changes in a short time, and there is a gradual change process, the difference is only the length of the gradual change process."

"I understand the meaning, but I always feel that Master, what are you connoting~"

"Don't worry about the details." Nangong Xiao said after a pause, "Well, don't worry, my life circle is not bad, just get used to it slowly, and you will fall in love with your new life in a short time."

"New... life..." Asakura Ryoko blinked, then said with a smile, "Master, did you plan to turn him into a 'pet' from the first time you saw him? ?”

"No, I had this idea before I came here. I just didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

"Really... should I be happy about it?"

"When you get to know my circle better, I think you will not only be happy about it."

"Well, that's really worth looking forward to."

"Please look forward to it."

"Oh~ Master, can I stay overnight?"

"Whatever, anyway, I'm the only one living in Fujino's house at the moment."

"Hee hee~ Master, do you have any, um, expectations?"

"No, after all, my brain grows on my head."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't think with my lower body."

"Master really had 'expectations'. After all, he didn't say anything, so Master went there to understand."

"Then are you ready?"

"Prepare?"

"Tonight I will wait~ sleep."

"Uh...Master, are you serious?"

"just kidding."

"Why do I feel that Master, you are... serious?"

"Ha ha..."

"What an evil laugh..."

The two chatted and entered Fujino House not long after.

Originally, Asakura Ryoko planned to tease the new master, and was somewhat curious about whether the new master would do some nasty things, but the next moment, she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

In the living room, Nangong Xiao put away all the furniture and laid out a lot of instruments, and said.

"Liangzi, help me calculate the operating frequency of XXXX. By the way, there is also a simulation calculation of the linkage circuit. I think with your computing power, you should be able to give the result faster."

"...Well, master, tonight... overtime?"

"Well, as I said, I'm trying to become a qualified capitalist."

"Hahaha..."

What else could Asakura Ryoko do, she could only respond to someone's joke with a dry smile.

——Emotions My new owner is a workaholic...

——In other words... this guy won't spend a lot of money to get me back just because of his computing power...

——It’s really... well, it’s not bad at all...

With this in mind, Asakura Ryoko began to assist Nangong Xiao with the necessary calculations in certain specific fields with her own computing power.

What she didn't realize was that at this very moment, the discomfort in her heart, or anxiety, was disappearing quickly...

......

In the morning of the next day, Nangong Xiao did not go to Xigong Beigao to "pretend to be tender" as usual, but took Ryoko Asakura to Zhao Hao's residence. This was to fulfill the contract with Zhao Shuhua, the representative of Song Dynasty.

In this meeting, apart from the fact that the owner of the house, Zhao Hao, must exist, Zhao Shuhua only brought three people. Two of the three are technicians, and the remaining one is the lecturer brought to Nangong Xiao according to the contract. '.

Yes, just before signing the contract yesterday, when discussing the details, Nangong Xiao specifically emphasized that the Song Dynasty should provide professional lecturers in martial arts, immortality and other related fields.

For this request, Zhao Shuhua did not refuse, and secretly sighed at that time - he really is a knowledgeable person.

Zhao Shuhua is very clear that without relevant lecturers, for those who have not been in touch with the relevant systems, the value of the basic knowledge of martial arts and immortality will be so low that it is outrageous.

After all, only the written vernacular in Chinese can be called extensive and profound, not to mention the cultivation knowledge composed of classical Chinese.

If there is no professional lecturer to guide him, and he is a layman, he still dares to practice a cheat book narrated in classical Chinese, then this person is either a fool, or he just doesn't want to live.

Chapter 997 No Protagonist's 'Fate'

Besides, Nangong Xiao, to be honest, he spent so much effort to 'befriend' Song Guo, in essence, he hoped that the other party would sincerely provide relevant lecturers to guide laymen to get started.

The key is 'sincerity'.

After all, the complexity of the Chinese context can be called "purgatory" on some levels.

Intuitively speaking, if you want to understand a certain vocabulary in a secret book, then the vocabulary must have clear sentence, tone marking, context marking, etc., and sometimes even a specific historical background marking, in order to understand correctly meaning of this term.

If any of the above elements are missing, then the relevant Chinese words may be misinterpreted as having any meaning.

Yes, that's 'any'.

And this is a cultivation method that works on the human body and soul. Once any one of them is misinterpreted, the consequences will be unimaginable.

It's even considered a good thing if you don't practice well, but if you have something wrong with it, it's really not going to work.

Therefore, in the Chinese context, or in any language, a systematic cultivation method must be guided by a guide, otherwise it is a gamble.

Therefore, the lecturer's 'sincerity' is the key, and it is worthy of Nangong Xiao's investment.

Back to business.
