'Shifu … Can I go back with you?'
Liu Zilang's mind went blank when he heard that.
'Hey hey!
'We're just a pure online master-disciple relationship!
'Is it really a good idea to suddenly "appear"?'
Liu Zilang furrowed his brows as he pondered.
At that moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind …
At that moment, a man who looked to be in his thirties with an ID hanging from his neck walked over quickly.
He bowed politely to Liu Zilang before speaking in rusty Mandarin, "I'm sorry, I'm the leader of SST. Since the hotel we're staying at is fully booked, Misaka said that she has a friend in Jianghai who can stay there. You must be Misaka's friend, right?"
Then, he quickly added, "If it's not convenient for you, we'll arrange another place for Misaka to stay."
'Convenient?'
Liu Zilang was currently staying in an apartment with four bedrooms and one living room. There were two empty rooms in his house.
One of them was for his father and the others to stay in while the other one was for family members to stay in.
Therefore, it was not inconvenient for him to stay there.
However, even though they were close, they used to communicate online and rarely had video calls. It would be awkward for Liu Zilang if they were to stay under the same roof all of a sudden.
As he thought about it, he turned around and saw Misaka Mikoto looking at him hopefully like a homeless puppy. His heart softened as he said, "Hmm … Let's stay together then."
"That's great!
Shifu! "Misaka Mikoto shouted with her hands clasped in front of her chest.
The Japanese leader smiled as he quickly bowed to Liu Zilang to thank him. He then reminded Misaka Mikoto to be careful.
On the surface, Liu Zilang waved his hand to indicate that it was fine.
There were only two words for a Chinese man.
'Generous.'
However, he was troubled as he pondered about bringing his silly disciple back.
'What should I tell Zhang Xiaotong … I picked her up on the road?
'Uh … It should be fine, right?'
.....
The two of them carried their bags as they walked out of the arena's passageway. Liu Zilang flagged down a car by the roadside and asked Misaka Mikoto to get in.
As the taxi drove, Misaka Mikoto who was sitting in the backseat with Liu Zilang looked nervous and excited as she fidgeted around.
She suddenly thought of something and carefully asked if Liu Zilang's parents were home. She also asked if she needed to bring any gifts or take note of anything.
Liu Zilang looked at her blushing face and hurriedly told her not to think too much and to relax.
It was impossible for his father to come back.
Misaka Mikoto heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. She looked a little disappointed at the same time.
Liu Zilang shook his head and thought to himself, 'But there's still a little girl at home, you might have to be careful …'
Liu Zilang led Misaka Mikoto into the district once they arrived.
Night had just fallen, and the lights in the neighborhood were dim.
Misaka Mikoto was one body length behind Liu Zilang. She became nervous as she looked at Liu Zilang who had both hands in his pockets.
When she had spoken to the team leader at the competition venue, the team leader had thought that the two of them were friends in real life. She had subconsciously thought so.
However, Misaka Mikoto suddenly realized a problem!
'Now … It seems like I'm following a foreign man home that I've only met online.
As she thought about this, she carefully looked up at Liu Zilang's back. She recalled the time they had spent together for so long, and her heart suddenly calmed down.
'Shifu is a good person!
'Mmm, there won't be a problem!'
Liu Zilang who was walking in front of Misaka Mikoto and had been given a "good person card" could understand Misaka Mikoto's worries.
He could only sigh at his silly disciple's thick nerves and long reflexes …
When they reached home, Liu Zilang took out his keys and opened the door.
"Meow ~ Meow ~"
As soon as he opened the door, 98K, which had grown slightly, ran toward him.
It rubbed against Liu Zilang's trousers and acted like a spoiled child.
The next moment, it saw Misaka Mikoto who was behind him, and it suddenly ran away.
Then, it turned around and raised its head.
A pair of round eyes stared at her blankly.
"Wow!
What a cute little kitty! "Misaka Mikoto exclaimed in surprise.
She immediately crouched down and waved at 98K. "Nei nei … Come over and let me hug you!"
At that time, Misaka Mikoto had completely let down her guard. That was because men who owned cats in Japan were usually "herbivores" who were not threatening.
As for in China …
'Ahem, let's not talk about that for now.'
At that time, 98K stared at Misaka Mikoto as it tilted its head. It seemed to be hesitating if it should jump into the stranger's arms.
At that time, a creak was heard.
Zhang Xiaotong's door opened.
A series of footsteps could be heard as Zhang Xiaotong's figure appeared at the corner of the wall.
She seemed to be quite excited as her cheeks were flushed.
However, when she saw Liu Zilang who was changing his shoes and Misaka Mikoto who was crouching on the floor …
Zhang Xiaotong was startled!
She had been watching the competition after school in the afternoon, so she quickly recognized the female contestant who was very popular at the scene.
Liu Zilang who had just changed his shoes laughed dryly. "This is my friend. She's staying at our place tonight … Hehehe …"
Zhang Xiaotong wrinkled her nose and ignored Liu Zilang. She greeted Misaka Mikoto, "Hello."
After that, she suddenly called out to 98K.
When 98K heard Zhang Xiaotong's voice, it immediately turned around and let out a "meow" before running toward her with its short legs.
Zhang Xiaotong bent down and picked up 98K. Then, she turned around and walked toward her bedroom.
The moment she turned around, her gaze drifted toward Liu Zilang. A soft snort seemed to be heard in the air.
Liu Zilang looked at his silly disciple who was crouching on the floor with her hands outstretched.
He thought that she would be embarrassed.
He wanted to explain.
However, he did not expect Misaka Mikoto to clench her fists. Her eyes were sparkling as she said, "Kawaii!
Shifu, Shifu … Is she your girlfriend? "
Liu Zilang's mouth twitched.
'How the f * ck does she look like a girlfriend …'
He took a deep breath and laughed dryly. "Hehe, that's my sister. You can call her Xiaotong-chan. This girl doesn't talk much, so don't mind her."
"Sister?" Misaka Mikoto tilted her head and looked at Liu Zilang.
A moment later, she had a thoughtful look on her face.
'Wait a minute … What are you thinking about!'
Liu Zilang's mouth twitched. He could not be bothered to guess his silly disciple's thoughts.
He took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet for Misaka Mikoto to change into. Then, he brought her to his room to take a look.
Compared to the Japanese who had a smaller living space, Liu Zilang's house was considered quite big.
Misaka Mikoto looked around and suddenly exclaimed, "Shifu … How are you able to live in such a big house even though you're always playing games …
I know now.
You must be a rich person who doesn't need to work! "
"Uh …"
Liu Zilang's smile froze.
He was completely convinced by his silly disciple's train of thought.
He thought to himself, 'What's so rich about that? You've probably never seen the luxurious house of a Chinese streamer … Moreover, I'm still a student in the country.
Of course I don't need to work. '
