Kiyoshi Sakamoto's answer, although not very positive, was slightly vague.

However, it can be regarded as a solution to Mai Shiraishi's confusion.

Human beings are sensual animals, and weeping is not the prerogative of a single person.

It's just that Mai Shiraishi was a little surprised that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has always been personable and calm in front of people, couldn't control his emotions and shed tears.

However, such an emotional act made the girl feel a little happy.

After all, in her eyes, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has always been a perfect existence.

It is precisely because of that that it feels unapproachable.

Such imperfect behavior is precisely to reveal the "human" side of Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

This made Mai Shiraishi feel that the distance between herself and Sakamoto Kiyoshi was not so far.

。。。。。。

After enjoying the last dessert, there was no need for Kiyoshi Sakamoto to greet him, but in the lobby of the restaurant, a melodious music sounded at the right time.

Listening to the familiar melody, Mai Shiraishi seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes looked straight at Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"This is ... Happy birthday?!"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting opposite, just quietly smiled back at her.

At this moment, a male waiter, holding a strawberry cake filled with candles, slowly came to the table where the two of them were.

"Happy birthday, beautiful young lady!"

"Huh?" Hearing the waiter's words, Mai Shiraishi was at a loss, not knowing what he was talking about.

Because, the notes that came out of the waiter's mouth were a series of French.

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was sitting on the side, explained loudly: "He said: I wish you a happy birthday, beautiful young lady." ”

"Oh oh, thank you. Mai Shiraishi was a little confused, but she smiled very politely and thanked her.

Putting down the cake in his hand, the waiter bowed slightly, and left.

"I don't know what kind of cake you like, so I ordered a strawberry cake based on the recommendation of the clerk, I hope you will like it... Kiyoshi Sakamoto scratched the back of his head and gave a rare embarrassed smile.

Hearing Sakamoto Kiyoshi's words, Mai Shiraishi unconsciously raised her tone, "I like it very much!"

"Uh... I mean, I love strawberry cake so much... ”

"That's good. Kiyoshi Sakamoto smiled and pointed to the burning candle on the cake, "Mai, if you don't make a wish, the candle will burn out!"

"Yikes!"

Under the reminder of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the girl quickly closed her big bright eyes, clasped her fingers with her hands, and made a wish again.

"Whew... ”

After blowing out all the nineteen candles, Mai Shiraishi also felt a little breathless, and her chest was also up and down a lot.

"Now, as today's hero, the sacred task of cutting the cake is entrusted to you... ”

Mai Shiraishi picked up the cake knife, cut it into two small pieces, gave one to herself, and handed it to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Just as she was about to put the cake in her mouth, Mai Shiraishi suddenly remembered a small detail that was something wrong just now, and suddenly said out loud: "It's not right!"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto also stopped moving his hand and looked at the girl suspiciously.

"Sakamoto-kun, didn't you say you don't know French? How do you know what he's talking about?!!?"

"Uh... ”

After the girl said this, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also realized that he was wearing a goof, and just wanted to quibble.

However, when Mai Shiraishi blinked her eyes wide, as if to say to him, "Hmph, I've seen through your tricks, don't lie to me anymore!", which made him feel more stressed, and finally had to confess:

"Actually, I know French. Looking at Mai Shiraishi, who felt that she had been deceived and felt a little unhappy, Sakamoto Kiyoshi quickly explained: "But, I didn't lie to you, I just came here to eat for the first time, and I didn't understand French until I went to learn it." ”

"But, you say, you always order the recommended dishes... Mai Shiraishi frowned, pursed her lips, and whispered, "You can clearly understand the menu... ”

"I didn't lie to you, every time I come here, I always let them serve the recommended dishes of the day. Kiyoshi Sakamoto was afraid that his little joke would make the girl cry, so he hurriedly remedied.

Looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was trying to explain, Mai Shiraishi snorted and showed a bright smile, "Well, it's okay." ”

"You're going to do that to take care of me, aren't you? So, it's okay. ”

"Whew... Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who was forgiven by Mai Shiraishi, also unconsciously exhaled a breath,

In front of the scumbags, it's really hard not to show your academic attributes. . .

Just when the two were eating the cake in a harmonious atmosphere, the guests at a table sitting not far away kept their eyes drifting to this side.

It was a man and a woman.

Judging from the intimate actions of the two of them, as well as their outfits, it can be known that this is a couple.

A white-collar couple who are hard to come out of a fine dining restaurant date.

"It seems like it's really him... ”

"It's not like, it's him, Kiyoshi Sakamoto!"

"But, who is that woman? How could Kiyoshi Sakamoto celebrate her birthday alone?"

Judging from the conversation between the two, it can be known that the two also recognized Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

However, they were still at a loss as to who Mai Shiraishi was sitting opposite.

However, seeing the picture of the two talking and laughing and celebrating their birthdays together when they were dining, the two also had a bold speculation in their hearts:

"Could it be ... They're dating?!The woman is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's girlfriend?!!"

This speculation, while bold, is very normal.

After all, lonely men and widows, talking and laughing, and a separate birthday party, these words add up to make people reverie.

At this time, the woman made a move that surprised her boyfriend: she took out her mobile phone from her bag, a pure white iPhone 4.

And, the camera was aimed at Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Mai Shiraishi, who were dining!

"What are you doing?!"

The man spoke anxiously, grabbed his girlfriend's wrist, and reminded in a low voice: "Do you know that this will invade other people's privacy and is illegal!"

"It's okay, I'm just taking a picture and keeping it as a souvenir, and I won't post it on the Internet indiscriminately. However, compared to her boyfriend's excitement, the woman's reaction seemed very indifferent.

Click, click!

Without being discovered by anyone else, the woman pressed the shoot button and took several photos in a row.

In the photo, you can clearly see that the faces of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Mai Shiraishi, as well as the curvature of the corners of the mouth...
