Chapter 226: Look at How Awesome She Is (Part )
Uesugi Erii was originally sitting on the right side of the back seat next to the door, while Zhuo was sitting on the left side next to the door.

There is a seat in the middle.

just now.

I don't know when the little mute moved over, but not too close, sitting approximately between the rightmost seat and the middle seat; but she supported herself with her hands on the very close middle seat and leaned her upper body over.

Then she raised her face and looked him in the eye.

The distance was very close, so she must have heard what Zhuo said and understood it.

But she didn't move.

Just blinked.

Zhuo also blinked, thought for a moment, and then calmly said: "When others say that you are too close, you can observe the distance between the two parties. If you are too close, step back a little. If you are too far away, it means that the other party hates you."

Zhuo tried his best to slow down his breathing and not let his breath go too far.

Fengjian Liuli, who had been peeping through the rearview mirror inside the car, heard the gentle whispers in the back seat and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Hear the words.

Uesugi Erii blinked again and looked down at her hands that were resting on the seat, almost touching Zhuo's butt.

Very close.

Then she didn't go back directly.

Instead, he retracted his hands one step at a time, like a retreating cat, until he sat up straight again.

After doing all this, he turned around and looked at Zhuo.

Zhuo tilted his head to the left.

She tilted her head to the right.

The amplitudes just overlap.

"This is just curiosity, nothing else." Zhuo said.

Uesugi Eri looked at him again, blinked, nodded, and straightened her little head.

"Do you want to look at your phone?" Zhuo asked.

Hear the words.

Eri nodded, then remembered something, looked around, and finally found the small notebook behind her, then began to write with her head down.

【what is that? 】

"What is that?" Zhuo read it out word by word, looked at the iPhone in his hand, and held it up to show her: "iPhone 1, the first smart phone. It is much more convenient than the flip phone you have seen before, but the functions are similar."

【Flip phone?】

Uesugi Eriya waited obediently for him to finish, and immediately couldn't wait to write the next sentence in the notebook.

"You probably haven't used it, but you must have seen it. It's the thing your brother often puts to his ear and uses it to talk." Zhuo explained calmly.

【I see. 】

Eri raised the notebook with both hands, then quickly put it down again, and leaned on her legs to write quickly, very eagerly: [Thank you. ]

Utsunomiya Shuo looked at these ordinary words (in Japanese), tilted his head again, and then suddenly looked forward.

In the rearview mirror, he met Kazama Ruri's eyes and asked, "Did you teach him?"

"Although not that smart...but still pretty smart, right?" said Ruri Kazama, who was watching from the front seat, with a smile.

"What you said makes sense, but I need to hear what you have to say." Zhuo replied without any emotion: "Has it not arrived yet?"

It has been quite a while. Normally, it only takes a little over five minutes by car, but today the journey took a bit longer.

"We were there a long time ago. But since I saw you were playing on your phone, I made two more detours."

As Fengjian Liuli finished speaking, the Hummer began to slow down and finally stopped in front of a familiar courtyard.

Zhuo leaned over the car window and looked out, and indeed they had arrived at the apartment.

I was wondering why I felt like I had to turn so many detours on my way home today. It seemed like you were circling the apartment.

Oh, right……

Zhuo retracted his face and looked at Uesugi Eri again. According to his memory, he hooked the corners of his mouth with his index fingers and forced a smile: "You're welcome."

Uesugi Erii tilted her head.

"Oh, by the way, it's impolite to peek at other people's phones. I'll let it go, but others might hate you." Zhuo thought about it and added, "Or they might have ulterior motives towards you, so be careful."

Uesugi Eri tilted her head in a different direction.

"Don't always learn this kind of thing. If you do it too often, it won't be cute anymore."

Uesugi Erii straightened her head and lowered her head to write quickly on the notebook.

【Cute feeling?】 “It just means that I find it very cute for some unknown reason… You were very cute when you tilted your head for the first time.” Zhuo said.

Hear the words.

Uesugi Eri thought about it and tilted her head to the right.

"That's what I say too often. I'm being cute on purpose, which is not good."

Uesugi Eri nodded.

At this time, the left door was opened, and Fengjian Liuli stood outside with an umbrella. She bent down and said to Uesugi Eryi, looking past Zhuo, "Eryi, take out the umbrella. Zhuo-kun should get off the car."

Take an umbrella.

Zhuo turned to look at him, then looked at the little mute, "Speaking of which, where did you get your umbrella?"

I've been wanting to ask about the transparent umbrella in Eri Uesugi's hand.

Saved Utsunomiya from the water.

【Bought it at a convenience store. 】

Unexpected answer.

Utsunomiya Shuo originally thought that it was given by a kind passerby.

After making sure that Zhuo had finished reading the words in the notebook, Uesugi Eriya handed him the umbrella with both hands.

Zhuo looked at the umbrella in her hand and thought for a while. After all, there were only two steps left. It didn't really make any difference whether he held an umbrella or not. Besides, he had already been wet in the rain before. It didn't matter if he held an umbrella or not.

So he first took it from Uesugi Eri's hand, and then placed it in the gap between the seats on the left hand side.

The little mute can't see this position.

What Zhuo didn't expect was that with her hands free, Uesugi Erii took out a pile of change from the inner collar of the top of her red and white shrine maiden costume and showed it to Utsunomiya Zhuo.

She blinked and looked at him.

"The change from the umbrella?" Zhuo asked.

Uesugi Eri nodded.

"Well done."

Although he didn't know why, it might be because of his previous affirmation of Uesugi Eri's behavior... Zhuo instinctively thought that she still wanted to hear a "yes" or "no" answer from him, so he praised her.

But Uesugi Eri did not remain silent or nod like before. Instead, she spread out the pile of change again and handed it to him.

Her fingertips poked the side of his leg.

It seemed as if he wanted him to take it.

"Where did the money come from?"

Utsunomiya Shuo immediately became alert.

[I took it from a drawer at home.]

Uesugi Eri wrote honestly.

Home.

If it was said that when Uesugi Erie escaped from Genji Heavy Industries, she had time to look for a banknote in a drawer on a certain layer, Zhuo would not believe it.

"here?"

Utsunomiya Shuo raised his thumb and pointed it at the apartment behind him.

Erika nodded.

“……”Sure enough, it’s my home.

But are there any banknotes in my drawer?... Zhuo doesn’t remember.

"How did you get in?" Zhuo asked curiously.

【The key found.】

The little mute held the little notebook with confidence.

Zhuo nodded.

Very good, it seems that Uesugi Erii has completely figured out Utsunomiya Shuo’s habit of placing items.

Look how arrogant she is.

congratulations.
