Tokyo, Japan.

The sky is vast, the setting sun is shining on his body, Uesugi Aoba, who has just awakened the memories of his past life a few days ago, has no discomfort in the modern city, and he is on his way to his new home with his suitcase in tow, walking in the alley sprinkled with cherry blossom petals.

It's the middle of April, and the cherry blossoms that have passed their bloom period are constantly falling, and they should completely wither in a day or two.

These few days are the most beautiful time for cherry blossoms, and the falling cherry blossom petals are flying in the air, as if it is raining pink cherry blossoms.

Uesugi Aoba was bathed in the rain of cherry blossoms and came to a Showa-style second-hand bookstore called Kiratsukiya, which is where Aoba will live in the future.

The old two-story building, a small courtyard, the first floor is open to a used bookstore, the second floor is rented out, and the new home rented by Aoba is here.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Uesugi Aoba walked into the open door of the bookstore and shouted hello at the same time.

"Ah, welcome, guests please come in!" An intellectual beauty with long hair and glasses turned from behind the bookshelf and greeted Aoba Michi.

"No, I'm not a guest, I'm Uesugi Aoba, who started moving here today, so please advise me when we meet for the first time." Aoba greeted the intellectual beauty with a faint smile.

Normally, according to Japanese etiquette, Aoba should bow down at this moment, and was adopted by Japanese adoptive parents when he was in the third grade of elementary school, and Aoba, who moved to Japan from China, has long been accustomed to Japanese etiquette. But after awakening the memories of his previous life, he couldn't easily make such an action as bowing to people.

However, although the behavior is not so polite, but the politeness of the language, Aoba still follows the Japanese custom.

"Ah, so you're Uesugi-san? I heard you're a freshman in high school, right? It doesn't look like it's the same as you imagined. The intellectual beauty looked at Aoba with some surprise.

"Really? I don't know if I disappointed you or surprised you. Aoba didn't feel any nervousness and greeted each other.

"Of course it was a surprise! Uesugi-san doesn't look like a high school student at all, so what can I say! At first, I was worried about how to get along with high school children, but when I actually met him, I realized that Uesugi-san was far more mature than I thought, so I just mistook Uesugi-san for a guest! It's nice that you don't have to worry about not being able to get along. The intellectual beauty explained her previous concerns with a smile on her face.

Indeed, if it was the previous Aoba, I am afraid that he would have been at a loss in the face of such a beautiful landlord at this moment, but now Aoba seems to be much more at ease.

After all, the vast memory of the previous life, which is calculated in thousands of years, compared to the memory of only sixteen years in this life, after awakening the memory of the previous life, Aoba's code of conduct will be more close to the previous life, which is a matter of course.

"Thanks for the compliment." Aoba said with a smile.

"Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet, that's rude! I'm Ruyuexia, so I'll ask Uesugi for more advice from now on. The beautiful landlord named Ruyuexia introduced himself and said.

"Miss Kasumi is too polite, since you will be a neighbor in the future, Miss Kasumi should call me Aoba directly." Aoba said kindly.

"Huh? Ah, that, that. Ruyuexia was a little at a loss for Aoba to call her name directly, after all, if she is not a person with a particularly good relationship in Japan, she will generally not call her by her name, but Aoba directly called her name, and even asked her to call him Aoba directly, which made Ruyuexia a little nervous for a while.

It was as if Aoba was the older party, guiding the relationship between the two.

So thinking that she was the elderly, but she showed such an unseemly side in front of a high school student, Ru Yuexia quickly took a deep breath.

"Then, okay, then I'll just call you Aoba-kun." Not to be outdone, Ruyuexia said with a smile.

So the question of the names of the two was decided, and at the same time, Ru Yuexia also discovered that it was clear that Aoba was much younger than her, but she had an unexpectedly mature side, which even gave Ru Yuexia the illusion that she was facing an elder.

No, Kasumi, you have to cheer up, but don't be led by the nose by a high school student! Ruyuexia secretly cheered herself on.

"Don't know where my room is? Can Kasumi-chan take me to see it? Aoba smiled and asked.

"Ah, Aoba-kun's room is upstairs, and the salute that came by mail is already in your room, please come with me, and I'll take you there." As she spoke, Ruyuexia turned around and took Aoba to the inside of the bookstore, where the stairs were.

"Then it's troublesome Miss Xia, speaking of which, there are really a lot of books here." Aoba followed behind Ruyuexia, looking at the bookstore full of various books, and said with emotion.

Even from the memory of this life, he already knows that this era is the era of knowledge explosion, and books can be found everywhere, but for him who has experienced the preciousness of books thousands of years ago, and the earlier time when only bamboo slips could record the information age, it is natural for him to feel a little emotional when he sees so many books at this time.

"Yes, yes! But most of them are very old books, is Aoba-kun interested in books? Ruyuexia asked without stopping.

"Yes, I'm interested." As Aoba walked, she looked at the rows of books on the shelves around her, and a personal name or book title came into view.

Natsume Soseki, I'm a cat. Osamu Dazai, disqualified in the world. Haruki Murakami, Norwegian forest.

"That's it, if Aoba-kun is interested, you can come and see it at any time, and you can take it back to your room to see it! Just remember to put it back again. Ru Yuexia stepped on the stairs and walked upstairs, smiling at the same time.

"Really? I'll come and see, thank you. Aoba said sincerely.

's love for books can be regarded as one of the few hobbies in his long life!

"Aoba-kun doesn't have to be polite." Ru Yuexia said indifferently.

In this way, the two came to the door of Aoba's room on the second floor, and the small room was filled with many cardboard boxes, large and small, all of which were mailed by Aoba.

The room has already been cleaned by Ruyuexia, and then Aoba only needs to sort out the personal belongings in the cardboard box.

"Okay, then I won't bother, Aoba-kun clean up and salute! In addition, as a celebration of Aoba-kun's arrival in Rutsuki-so, I'm going to hold a welcome party on the first floor tonight, and the rest of the tenants will also attend, so Aoba-kun should be fine, right? Ru Yuexia said with a smile.

"Of course, bothering you." Aoba said politely.

In this way, Ru Yuexia left happily and went to prepare for the welcome party in the evening.
