The moon is sparse, and a few stars emit a faint light in the corners of the canopy, which is a rare night for the city of Santa Loita, and the sky that used to be a little dark because of the smoke emitted by many factories is unusually pure tonight, and it seems that the city at this time is also exceptionally quiet and quiet.

In such an environment, a black carriage drove quickly through the streets and alleys, leaving a crisp horse bell all the way, and finally came to a slow stop in front of a residential area in the middle of a block.

"Arrived, sir. ”

Some of the old coachmen carefully parked the carriage on the side of the road, and then the echo knocked on the frame of the carriage to remind the passengers inside that their destination had been reached.

The carriage door opened, and Dio got out of the carriage with several bags of various sizes.

"I'm sorry for you. With some difficulty, Dior took out the money from his pocket and gave it to the coachman, and even gave an extra tip above the horizontal line.

"It's nothing, do you need me to help you move it?" Seeing the generous remuneration in his hand, the coachman smiled even brighter, and took the initiative to help this generous guest carry those bags.

"No, I'll do it alone. ”

"Okay, then I'll go first. ”

"Goodbye. ”

The carriage slowly turned around and headed in the direction it had come, and soon disappeared into the night street, with only the rustling of horse bells echoing in the distance.

Dio turned around and walked towards the community, and when he passed the guard room, the old man of the doorman inside glanced at Dio suspiciously for a while, and then suddenly said: "It's Dio, why haven't I seen you for so many days?" Dior and Lilia are still quite famous in the community, of course, it is Lilia who really attracts attention, and Dio is an incidental.

"yes, I've been out for a few days. Dio replied casually with a decent smile on his face, and quickly left the guard's room.

"It's strange, this kid is a little different. Looking at the back of Dior leaving, the doorman muttered to himself, and then stopped paying attention to it.

Walking along the familiar road in the community, under the dim light, you can see men and women passing by sporadically from time to time, and it is estimated that most of them should be on the night shift.

Soon he arrived in front of the residential building where he lived, entered the stairwell, climbed up the floor, and when he was about to reach the floor where his home was, a petite figure greeted him, a cute little round-faced girl, who seemed to be a little familiar.

The girl saw Dio opposite almost at the same time, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face, and then she smiled embarrassedly.

At this time, Dio also remembered that it was the girl he met when he walked down the stairs here a little before the battle in the martial arts hall, and he was scared to cry at that time, but now it seems that the other party didn't take the events of that day to heart.

The two smiled at each other, said hello, and then passed by.

Dio continued to walk up for a while, came to the third floor, and stood in front of the door of his house.

Subconsciously touched his body, and then remembered that his key had fallen out of the series of battles that night.

Knock knock.

He knocked on the door directly.

"Here we are, please wait a minute. On the other side of the door, Lilia's voice rang out.

Then there was a sound of footsteps reaching the side of the door, and with a click, the lock opened, and the door opened.

"Dio?" Lilia was only slightly stunned when she saw Dio appear, then returned to normal and said very flatly, "Come in." Then he turned around and went back to the house, leaving a confused Dior at the door.

That's what Lilia should be.

Dio shook his head and smiled, went in to change his shoes, and closed the door.

"Who's coming?" came the voice of his father, Anglu, in the living room.

Then Lilia's voice rang out: "It's Dior." ”

"Dio is back?!" followed by the surprised voice of his mother Naya, and then the sound of rapid footsteps came quickly towards Dior's location.

Dio raised his head, saw his mother's hurried appearance, and greeted with a smile: "Naya, I'm back." ”

"You stinky boy, I finally know that I'm back, do you know that we're all worried about you to death, especially when I heard that you were trapped in that place where a special infectious disease broke out, and Anglo and I were afraid that something would happen to you?" ”

Dior looked down at his bulging clothes that were supported by his increasingly developed chest muscles, and then at his thick and strong arms, and was speechless for a moment.

After coming to the living room, Anglo saw that Dior didn't look like he was in trouble, and his originally nervous expression was immediately retracted, and he put on the posture of a strict father in the past.

"This is a gift I brought to you. ”

"It's good to come back, what kind of gifts to bring. Naya complained, but the look on her face was very happy.

Dior smiled, without an interface, put the bag in his hand on the table, took out the packed boxes from it, and handed them to his parents and sister.

"Anglo, this is the pipe I bought for you, haven't you been complaining about that old one that is prone to dust, and the tie and the belt, yours are all old, come and try it...... Naya, it's clothes and some jewelry...... And Lilia, I also brought you a lot of good things, come and see......" Dior smiled and handed out the hand-selected gifts to his family, with a smile of satisfaction and happiness.

"Where did you get so much money?" Naya flipped through the gift from Dior, surprised.

"I am now a teaching assistant in the martial arts hall, and I have a salary of 4,000 yuan every month, as well as bonuses. Without thinking, Dio gave the reason he had thought of in advance.

"Why are there so many?"

Naya was a little incredulous about Dio's words, knowing that this was already the sum of her and Anglo's monthly salary. Anglo on the other side also looked a little suspicious, only Lilia sat on the side and pouted, revealing a look that was indeed so.

"That's so much, after all, I'm a personal disciple who has gone through a formal apprenticeship, and it's likely that I'll be in charge of the martial arts hall in the future. Dior pulled Naya to sit next to Anglo, and the family sat together.

"Speaking of which, I happen to have something to say to you. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Naya.

"That's what I thought. Dior sorted out the words in his head before he said slowly: "I have developed very well in the martial arts hall so far, and I have a future in the future, but I need to spend a lot of time on martial arts training and martial arts things, so it is difficult for me to take care of the school's affairs, so I want to simply drop out of school, and put my heart and soul on the martial arts hall in the future, what do you think?"

Dio said that his energy could not be divided into that is indeed a fact, but it is not the martial arts side, but the company that will fight against the Remy Henton Company in the future, and the invitation of Puran not long after, if you still have to go to school every day, the time really can't be allocated, so after thinking about it again and again, I made the decision to drop out of school now.

"This ......," Naya looked at Anglo with some pleading. If Dior, who had no financial foundation before, said this request, she would definitely refuse categorically, but now that Dior has shown her current economic ability and made a very reasonable plan for the future, it is difficult for her to say no words, and she can only rely on Anglo, as the head of the family, to make a decision.

Seeing his wife's expectant gaze, Anglo cleared his throat, and also took the opportunity to sort out his thoughts, and then said word by word: "Dior, you really gave us a big surprise today, as if you have really grown up and matured in an instant, and Naya and I are very happy about this." You've done a very good job of planning for your future, and you're very clear-headed, and I'm still in the mud of my head at your age, so your performance is undoubtedly very commendable......"

Dior listened quietly to Anglo's words of praise, and sure enough, he heard the expected "but" shortly after.

“...... But no matter how mature you are, you're just a seventeen-year-old kid after all, and there's a lot of things in society that you haven't really experienced yet. For you, you still have a long way to go, everything is not completely certain, and you don't know what the future holds, so I hope you don't give up the opportunity to learn in school easily, otherwise it's hard to say if you will regret your decision today someday in the future. ”

Seeing that Dio was listening to his words very carefully, the more Anglo spoke, the smoother he felt his train of thought.

"Of course, what you said is very reasonable, and listening to your description, the martial arts hall is indeed a good prospect, so I think you should continue the martial arts business, but at the same time, you can't give up on learning, Naya and I both hope that both of you can go to the best university and become the upper class of society in the future. As for the problem that you said that you can't take care of, I think it's better if you can't get into the martial arts gym and ask for leave, as long as you have time to go to school, it may lead to problems with your learning progress...... Lilia!"

"Me?" Lilia didn't expect that Dior's future question also involved her, and she was suddenly surprised.

"That's you. Now is a very important time for your brother, aren't you very good at studying?Then you should help Dior revise more at home and help him keep up with his studies, shouldn't it be difficult?" Anglo looked at Lilia, and a majesty that belonged to the head of the family was revealed.

"Why is this, I don't have ...... time myself" Lilia subconsciously objected, but under Anglo's increasingly stern gaze, she shrank a little unconsciously, and reluctantly whispered: "This, well, I'll help him with his studies." ”

"Well, that's it. Anglo nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Dior, "What do you think, Dior?"

"Okay, according to your words, I won't drop out. Dior thought for a moment, and then readily agreed. For him, the result was already good, and he didn't expect his parents to approve his withdrawal from school at once, and now that the exchange has won him more freedom, it has achieved the desired goal.

"Okay, okay, Dior must be tired and hungry when he comes back so late, I'll go make something to eat first, and everyone will talk while eating. Seeing that her husband had finished Dior as soon as he came out, Naya was very happy and immediately went to the kitchen to gather up.
