Fallen Chronicles

Chapter 380 Chapter 380 Fixing the Water Pipe

The night passed without a word.

When Renji woke up from his drunken stupor the next day and sat up from the bed, he first reacted in a daze for a while. The next moment, when the memories of last night flooded his mind, Renji's whole body shuddered. He hurriedly turned his head to look beside the bed.

Fortunately, there was no woman sleeping there. He was the only one on the bed. Renji secretly lifted the covers and looked at the bedding. There was also no large patch of crimson blood like what was written in novels.

Could it be... that last night I was too drunk and had hallucinations?

Renji held a bit of a fluke mentality.

Quickly getting out of bed and changing his clothes, Renji quietly opened the bedroom door. He hadn't planned to eat breakfast at home again and was going to go straight to work to let himself calm down and sort out last night.

But who would have thought...

"Oh~ you are awake?" Almost at the same time Renji opened the door, Yuki's voice came from the kitchen.

Renji felt he had already lowered his voice a lot, but the woman seemed to have exceptionally sharp ears. Yuki, wearing an apron, poked her head out from the kitchen while holding a spatula and said to Renji:

"Wait a little longer, breakfast will be ready soon!"

"Uh, no need, I'll go out-"

Before Renji could finish speaking, Yuki, with her hands on her hips, poked her whole body out. As if she was really his sister, she frowned and ordered the young man, "No! I already made it for you. Don't keep going out to eat. Can the outside foodbe as clean as home? Or are you saying you don't trust sister's cooking skills!?"

Yuki's cooking skills were definitely top-notch. Renji had already tasted that last night.

Being told this by Yuki, Renji couldn't run away anymore and could only honestly sit at the dining table.

However... from Yuki's behavior just now, she seemed to not mention last night's events at all and didn't act like anything had happened with me. Could it be... those things were really just my drunken hallucinations?

At this, although Renji breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a few bits of regret. Of course, he quickly reprimanded himself for the feeling of regret.

After a short while, breakfast was served by Yuki.

It wasn't very complicated. A pot of stomach-nourishing white rice porridge, plus two or three small side dishes, four tea eggs, and finally a basket of small buns.

The fragrant porridge and meat buns made Renji's mouth water. His astonishing appetite, he didn't know if it was because of Yuki's cooking skills or if he really had consumed a lot of energy last night.

During breakfast, Renji secretly observed Yuki's expression across from him several times, but the woman was no different from before. She just kept acting like a big sister, serving Renji dishes and porridge.

Yuki didn't say anything, and Renji didn't have the nerve to bring up last night's events either. It seemed to just pass like this.

"Oh right."

Just as he was about to leave, Yuki suddenly called out to him, making Renji's heart skip a beat. However, Yuki only mentioned clothes.

"I washed your cloak, but it looks a bit tattered. Let me mend it for you! I'll swap it for you after it's mended~"

"No need, no need, this is too much trouble for you, Miss Yuki..."

When Yuki mentioned the cloak, Renji suddenly remembered that he clearly remembered the cloak should have been very important to him. But ever since coming into contact with Yuki, it seemed to change all at once. He almost forgot about the cloak.

And speaking of which, when I came to Yuki's house the day before yesterday, it was to wash Yuki's clothes.?How did it turn into Yuki mending my clothes? What is going on?

But the woman just smiled and waved her hand at Renji.

"Alright, you're my tenant now. As a landlord, of course I have to give the tenant some small benefits. Otherwise, I'd be afraid you won't rent here anymore! I used to weave things often in the woods back in the countryside. This little thing is a piece of cake for me."

"Okay, hurry and go to work. Work hard to earn money. I am still waiting for your re~nt~!"

The word "rent" that Yuki seemed to deliberately draw out when closing the door made Renji conflicted again. While waiting for the elevator, his mind was still full of thoughts about whether he had made a mistake last night.

The elevator didn't go directly to Renji's floor from the ground level; instead, it ascended one level higher before stopping at his floor.

As Renji entered the elevator, a woman already inside was voicing a litany of complaints.

"Were the people downstairs crazy last night or what!"

"Renovating in the middle of the night, constantly creaking and banging like they were pile driving. Do they let people sleep or not!"

"Huh? Young man, do you live on this floor? You must have been kept up badly too. We should file a complaint against 403!"

Renji: "..."

Although he had just moved in, Renji was very clear that Yuki's door number was 403.

"Ma'am, I... I'm a plumber. Last night, the water pipe in 403 was clogged. I went to clear it. Because it hadn't been used for a long time, it was more difficult to deal with, so it was a bit noisy. I'm really sorry for disturbing you!"

The older woman, who originally had a belly full of grievances and was very indignant, didn't expect that the young man in front of her turned out to be from the family last night. She was a bit embarrassed. Plus, Renji directly apologized to her with a very sincere attitude, so all her anger dissipated.

She even took a few more glances at Renji. He was quite good- looking, tall and thin, fair and clean. Inexplicably, she thought of her own home's water pipes seeming to be a bit clogged too. She immediately wanted to ask Renji if he could find some time to take a look at her place as well.

Renji naturally declined repeatedly. Then, when the elevator door opened, he hurriedly left without looking back.

The old woman in the elevator felt a bit regretful, but she quickly frowned, thinking it over.

No, that's not right.

A plumber only coming out now, doesn't that mean he was at someone else's place... fixing things all night?

Tsk...

Thinking of this, the old woman sighed to herself, even more regretful that she couldn't keep Renji just now. She should have at least gotten a business card. She wasn't short on money. Who was short on money among those who could live in this neighborhood?

On the morning streets, there were already quite a few pedestrians. After blending into the crowd, Renji finally felt relaxed.

Walking on the way to work at the convenience store, what filled Renji's mind was still how to face Yuki later.

Did something really happen last night?

And from that woman's description, it was probably quite... intense.

Damn it! How did I just got drunk and have no memory at all!

Having a sweet night with a beautiful woman like miss yuki and having no memory of it...

Damn it! Wasn't this purely beastly!

Renji experienced the same inner regret and self-blame as many men.

However, after the remorse was a strange feeling.

Logically speaking, if last night was really that crazy, why did my body seem to be completely fine this morning?

Well... except for a rather strong appetite.

Not only that, I actually feel that my body is more energetic and in higher spirits than before. It was as if my soul had fully returned.

This wasn't just talk. Some of the memories he couldn't recall before, Renji found he seemed to be able to remember a bit after last night.

For example...

I have five wives.
