Chapter 858

But he was too embarrassed to say it explicitly or move away deliberately, so he just maintained his posture and explained:

"I used to play games... cough cough, I typed on the keyboard too much, maybe I practiced it unintentionally."

Xiao Jing Youcai blinked and realized:

"Playing games... so that's it, no wonder."

She suddenly remembered something and then asked:

"By the way, Brother Natsume."

"Didn't you seem quite interested in this iron used in school during class before, thinking it was quite easy to use? I happened to get the contact information of the supplier later. If you want it, I can send you the address."

Natsume Chikage thought this was a good opportunity to obtain the same new iron, so he nodded immediately:

"Then I'll trouble you, teacher, thank you very much."

Xiao Jing Youcai remembered that Natsume Chikage had mentioned that he lived in a narrow three-ping small room, the space was not large, and she didn't know if his recent economic situation had improved, so she couldn't help but worry:

"But didn't you say before that because of economic and room space problems, you wouldn't consider it for the time being?"

"Is it a bit forced for you for me to say this now, teacher?"

"Or... should we wait until you think it's more suitable?"

Natsume Chikage shook his head, his tone peaceful but certain:

"No need."

"I just moved two days ago, and now I live in a ten-ping room, which is much more spacious than before."

"The new home is equipped with a washing machine, and I just happen to need an iron to take care of the washed clothes."

"And I also received the prize money from the competition recently, which is not bad."

Xiao Jing Youcai's eyes widened when she heard this, and then she showed a gratified smile:

"Is that so? That's really great."

And Xiyuanji Qilai, who was sewing with her head down, and Xuecun Lingyin, who looked focused on the fabric in her hand but was actually pricking up her ears, stopped their movements and looked up in surprise.

"You moved?"

"And it's a new home?"

"When we went to find your sister to play last time, didn't you still live in that three-ping small room?"

"Yeah, how did you suddenly change it?"

Natsume Chikage explained while sewing the sleeve in his hand:

"The current ten-ping house and the previous three-ping small room have the same monthly rent, both 60,000 yen."

"I think it's quite cost-effective, so I changed it."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xuecun Lingyin's cold eyes:

"They are both 60,000 yen?"

"Where in Tokyo would such a cost-effective house suddenly appear?"

"How did you find it?"

Xiyuanji Qilai also leaned closer and asked curiously:

"I'm also very curious, Brother Natsume, your luck is too good, right?"

As a teacher, Xiao Jing Youcai knew a little bit about Natsume Chikage's family's economic situation, which was not well-off, and she was also a bit confused about how he suddenly had the ability and opportunity to change to an apartment with better conditions?

Natsume Chikage didn't stop the movement in his hand, thought about it, and felt that this was not something that needed to be specially concealed, so he explained:

"Because the apartment building we live in actually belongs to the Yutang family... I had some dealings with the Yutang family before and helped them complete some things."

"Then they agreed to let me change to an apartment room with better conditions as a reward, and the rent remained the same."

Xiyuanji Qilai covered her small mouth in surprise:

"The place where you live now is actually also Yutang family property?"

Xuecun Lingyin's brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes became a bit sharp:

"The Yutang family you mentioned... the person who specifically contacted you, could it be Senior Jinwei?"

Natsume Chikage nodded and said frankly:

"Yes, I mainly communicated with Senior Jinwei..."

Xuecun Lingyin's brows furrowed even tighter, and she asked:

"What kind of 'deal' did you make with Senior Jinwei? She is not someone who gives benefits to others easily."

Natsume Chikage didn't think there was anything that couldn't be said about this, shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Actually, it's nothing complicated, just drew a painting for them at their request."

Xiyuanji Qilai blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion:

"Just... just asked you to draw a painting? Was there anything else?"

Natsume Chikage shook his head and confirmed:

"No, it was just a painting."

Xuecun Lingyin's face was full of disbelief and doubt, and her voice even raised a bit:

"She rented you a ten-ping house, which is more expensive than the market price of where you live now, for the price of a three-ping room just because you drew a painting?"

"Just because of a painting? How is this possible?"

Natsume Chikage also showed a hint of helplessness, and his needlework temporarily stopped:

"To be honest, I was just as confused as you were at first."

"I don't quite understand how they considered it specifically, but that is indeed the fact."

Xuecun Lingyin and Xiyuanji Qilai looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were very strange, clearly unable to understand this logic.

Clearly, both of them couldn't understand Jinweitong, or the Yutang family behind her, and what their real purpose was in doing so.

And teacher Xiao Jing Youcai stood on the side listening, and her heart was even more surprised.

She never expected that Natsume Chikage could actually have a relationship with the high and mighty, mysterious Yutang family.

You must know that there are countless students in the school, and even families of faculty and staff, who dream of being able to get on this top-level interpersonal relationship.

But most people find it hard to even see Yutang Zhiji or Jinweitong by her side.

After all, these two are elusive in the school and often disappear.

Even if they are in school, they won't pay attention to the talk and flattery of ordinary people at all.

But Natsume Chikage, this seemingly ordinary student, can actually have contact with Jinweitong, and even get real benefits from there?

The more Xiao Jing Youcai looked, the more she felt that a layer of mystery gradually shrouded Natsume Chikage.

She really didn't understand why the Yutang family "targeted" him.

As for appearance... Natsume Chikage's appearance is indeed top-notch.

But in the eyes of a chaebol at the level of the Yutang family, simple appearance actually has little meaning, and can even be said to be negligible...

She thought it must be because of other more special reasons?

But what exactly is that reason?

Soon.

The bell for the end of the sewing class rang.

Natsume Chikage specifically didn't rush to leave with the classmates, but waited until the students in the class were almost gone and the classroom was gradually empty, and came to teacher Xiao Jing Youcai, who was packing up teaching aids and remaining fabric alone.

"Teacher, I have something I want to tell you alone..."

Xiao Jing Youcai's movement of organizing the fabric paused when she heard this, turned around, and saw that it was Natsume Chikage who had returned, and a slight blush appeared on that charming face.

She secretly thought in her heart: This boy... could it be that he has taken a fancy to me?

It must be!

Now that so many students have left, he stayed alone, and even said he had something he wanted to tell me "alone."

No matter how you look at it, this looks like the classic bridge of a student gathering courage to confess to a young female teacher in a TV series!

However... thinking about it carefully, it's reasonable.

Although her facial appearance might not be as good as those top beautiful girls in the school, her figure... that is first-class!

Boys in this age group are in the period when hormones are most vigorous, and most of them are like little animals with strong curiosity, so naturally they are more interested in female teachers like her who have a mature figure and are full of feminine charm.

Thinking that even the genius beautiful girl Yue Dao Lin, who is excellent and outstanding and admired by countless people, failed to completely "conquer" the school's number one heartthrob, who actually seemed to be attracted and conquered by her charm...

Xiao Jing Youcai's mouth couldn't help but lift gently, a hint of secret pride and joy rose in her heart, and a more charming and playful smile appeared on her face. She raised her eyes, with an expectant expression of "I understand," lowered her voice and asked:

"So... what do you want to tell me?"

Natsume Chikage didn't notice the teacher's rich inner drama, just said seriously:

"I want to say..." ===== CHAPTER 859 =====
