"Don't worry about it, you're thinking too much." Wu Shen cleared his throat and turned his attention to the open door behind Yukino.
When he returned with Amane just now, the moving company seemed to have finished moving the furniture and storage boxes and was about to leave.
You should know that a moving company is only responsible for moving the furniture and placing it in the nearby location, if you want to adjust it you have to do it yourself, not to mention that you have a lot of cardboard boxes and plastic bags to dismantle and remove the content for the organization.
This kind of work is still very physically demanding, if Yukino does it alone, it will definitely be very difficult to operate.
"Do you need my help?" Wu Shen asked hesitantly.
"No need…" Yukino shook her head and was about to refuse, but Amane ran out and stopped her.
"Of course! This moving company is so irresponsible. A lot of furniture is not moved as needed and is moved in a hurry. We just need a boy to help!" Amane turned to Wu Shen with a burning gaze.
"If you need help, I'm available at any time." Wu Shen agreed and fulfilled Amane's wishes.
Yukino helped him out of trouble on the roof before, and Amane and Mai have such a good relationship and will be neighbors in the future. Of course Wu Shen is willing to help with such a simple endeavor.
Yukino was still a little hesitant, but when he saw Amane promised not to give up, with a hint of love in her expression, he nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you, Wu Shen."
"Okay, leave this to me." Wu Shen nodded. She waved her fist and beats Yukino to her new home.
On the other hand, Yukino originally thought that with Amane following him, the atmosphere would be better and more natural when the three of them were together. Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Shen and she entered the room, Amane said at the door: "Sister, I will find Mai-chan to play first. Call me when you're done! " As soon as she finished speaking, Amane closed the door behind her. Of course Yukino knew that Amane was not an ignorant child. Yukino could probably guess that the reason she did this was to bring her and Wu Shen together.
But understanding the atmosphere when three people are together is definitely different from when two people are together. As soon as Amane closed the door and left, she felt the atmosphere in the room begin to silently change.
"What do you need me for?" Wu Shen clapped his hands, trying not to notice the change in the atmosphere between the two. Looking at the piles of boxes and jumbled furniture, he knew it would probably be busy tonight.
"Can you help put the sofa and tea table in the right position?" Yukino looked a little restrained, her eyes wandering for a long time before speaking.
This was the first time she was alone with a boy in her own home.
"Leave it to me." After listening to Yukino's instructions on the correct placement of furniture, Wu Shen took action immediately. Yukino didn't stop either and started using a wallpaper knife to cut circles out of the tape used to seal the openings of the stacked cardboard boxes.
Plus some large cardboard boxes and plastic bags containing many daily necessities. Wu Shen instructed Yukino to open small cardboard boxes that contained stacks of books. There are library books that are easy to transport and long-lasting books that can be stored and read at home.
The most important thing is that each book is well placed in the box and specially wrapped in kraft paper to avoid damage to the corners of the book.
How did I not realize that Yukinoshita Yukino is still an avid reader? Wu Shen thought inwardly.
"Yukinoshita-san, you seem to have a lot of books. Do you like reading a lot?" Just after moving the tea table, Wu Shen took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Yukino with a surprised expression on his face.
"Being really serious about it, I don't really like it." Yukino patted the books and specifications neatly on the shelf one after another. "It's just that I don't have much to do at school. In my free time, I can only immerse myself in reading alone. It's a way to kill time."
Hmm… could this phrase mean that I have few friends?
Reading books is a passive hobby. Because normally no one comes to talk to Yukino, so he can only use his free time to read books.
"Yukoshita, haven't you ever thought about making friends?"
"Friends? I don't know if I have friends. First of all, how do you define the word friend? How can you make friends if you don't know the definition of a friend?" Yukino continued to sort out the books and daily necessities, while turning her back to ask Wu Shen's position.
"Friends refer to mutual respect, the sharing of good things with each other and the ability to give each other conscious when necessary, regardless of age, sex, region, race or social role, linked by a cognitive model recognized by both as parties under specific conditions. People who are able to help and their lasting relationships... (Omit 560 words later)"
Wu Shen said a lot of confusing things at once.
"Uh...Wu Shen, what are you talking about?" Yukino was a little confused by Wu Shen's sudden long list of breathless words.
"The definition of friend in the Encyclopedia. But that's not very accurate. Wait a minute, I'll check Wikipedia again." Wu Shen temporarily left the side of the work of moving the sofa, took out his cell phone, opened the browser and started searching.
"Hey…" Yukino sighed helplessly, walked over and reached out to cover Wu Shen's phone screen, "I'm really in tune with you."
"Ahaha, because you told me the definition of a friend, I can't help but just want to check some information and discuss it with you." Wu Shen put away the phone and continued to hurriedly move the sofa.
"I was just saying casually, who would have thought someone like you would be so serious." Yukino looked at him and saw Wu Shen placing the bigger sofa by himself, so she came to his side to help move it together.
"Am I your friend?" Wu Shen asked casually by accident.
"…" Yukino was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head.
"Very good."
"Is it worth it to be happy with this kind of thing?" Yukino was a little confused as to why Wu Shen said it was very good.
It stands to reason that she rejected the possibility of further contact with Wu Shen, and the other party should not be happy.
"Isn't it happy not to receive a friend card?" Wu Shen joked with a smile.
"Friend card? What is that?" Yukino frowned progressively.
"It's nothing. It's a saying from my hometown. It's very difficult to explain." Wu Shen moved the sofa to the designated position, straightened his back and turned his head to face Yukino, "Compared to this, you don't know what a friend is? In fact, you don't know what a friend is. There are living examples around you."
"By my side? Who are you talking about?" Yukino felt that during this time alone, she seemed to only be able to ask questions.
"Mai-chan and Amane-chan. Don't you think their relationship is that of friends?" Just as Wu Shen finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the opposite side of the house.
Carefully identify what appears to be two children fighting. It vaguely looks like they're fighting.
I just said that they are harmonious good friends, don't slap me in the face so quickly, okay? Several black lines appeared on Wu Shen's face and he felt what kind of him was absolutely incredible.
