010. Change
The two, who hadn't seen each other in months, had just called each other by name, and there had been no more communication. In fact, if it weren't for Shota's gentle and familiar behavior that touched the heartstrings too much, Isshiki wouldn't have screamed at all. Maintaining the posture of pushing open the door of the burger restaurant, he stared at the expressionless Yukino in a daze for a few seconds, and walked to the ordering table without saying a word.
After seeing Isshiki's figure, a man who looked like a manager walked towards Isshiki and said helplessly: "Isshiki, why is it so late today?" β
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry~" Isshiki bent down slightly, folded his hands, and put an apologetic smile on his face, "I've been delayed by the school's affairs, I'll go change my clothes now." β
"Well, don't have a next time."
"Yes~"
With a bright smile, Isshiki walked quickly to the staff's changing room. The manager of this shop is a relative of the Isshiki family, so Isshiki is able to rush here every day after school to work.
It wasn't until Isshiki's figure completely disappeared that Shota took his gaze back and ate the hamburger in front of him like chewing wax.
"You know?"
"Hmm."
Looking at Shota's obviously very wrong expression, Yukino didn't continue to ask.
Although Yukino has been verbally saying that Shota is a gorilla with only a woman in her head, she still believes that Shota can understand the seriousness of the matter. No matter what kind of relationship that girl has with Shota, she must be put aside for the past three years.
It didn't take long for Ichise, who had changed his clothes, to the back of the ordering table, smiling at every customer who ordered.
"It's really, very easy to get a smile that men like."
"That sounds sarcastic......
"Did I just tell her the truth, did it make you feel unhappy?"
"No......" Shota smiled bitterly, in fact, he didn't understand his complicated heart, "You're right, and I'm not qualified to be angry with her now." β
"Ex-girlfriend?"
"Well, a peaceful breakup."
"It seems that the two of you have nothing to do with 'peace'." Xue Nai took a bite of the rice in front of her, and her good-looking face couldn't help but wrinkle, which was really unpalatable to her.
Whether it's Shota or Yukino himself, he has quite good skills, and his resistance to unpalatable things has already decreased a lot.
"Or eat fries and fried **." Shota pushed his plate over, "I don't have much appetite right now. β
"Are you really going to do that?" Yukino looked at the ordering table unabashedly, "That girl has been secretly watching this side all the time. β
"Even if you look at it again, it's useless, it's better to let her die."
"Looks like you brought it up?"
"No, but I didn't keep it either."
In fact, even the confession is the same as the initiative.
"Scum, orangutan, that is, orangutan scum."
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Shota looked speechlessly at Yukino who was mocking himself while unceremoniously eating the fries on his plate, and it seemed that eating others with a soft mouth didn't apply to Yukino at all.
"I'll just reluctantly help you this time, if she dies, you won't think about it anymore, right?"
"Huh? What does it mean...... Not!? β
Just when he opened his mouth to ask what Xue Nai meant, there was an extra french fries in his cold mouth, and at the other end of the fries was Xue Nai's slender white fingers.
Inexplicably, the strange thought from last night came to my heart again, so that Shota hurriedly turned his head back, and opened the distance between him and Yukino's fingers, and the fries in his mouth were not swallowed, nor were they swallowed.
"I want two pairs of fried chicken and a Coke...... Are you listening to me? β
"Ah, sorry guest! Could you please repeat it again? β
Even in the noisy fast food restaurant, Isshiki's panicked voice still reached Shota's ears unusually clearly.
There is no doubt that Isshiki saw Yukino's behavior just now.
Yukino was also upset, this was the first time she had made such an intimate gesture to a member of the opposite sex since she had grown up, and her cold expression showed a hint of melting, and a shallow flush slowly crept up her unpowdered cheeks.
"Why do you do this all of a sudden?" After being stunned for a long time, Shota finally took the fries in his hand and asked Yukino helplessly.
"It works great, doesn't it?"
ββ¦β¦β
Shota nodded wordlessly, the bright smile on Isshii's face was getting more and more awkward, and it was becoming more and more untenable. However, no matter how uncomfortable it was, she still had to smile hard, because of her age, this was a part-time job opportunity that she had finally found.
"In this way, it's too cruel to her......" Shota's heart was a little unbearable, although at the time of the breakup, Isshiki could still force a smile and say that they would still be friends in the future.
But judging from the blind performance just now, she is far from being as strong as she seems.
"So, is marrying me cruel to her?"
Yukino's cold questioning made Shota bow his head speechlessly.
"You broke up because of the marriage contract?"
"It's not."
"That's fine, or I'll be disgusted by your behavior."
If it's really because of the marriage contract that he broke up with Isshiki, Shota still had the idea of pursuing Megumi after meeting him, this kind of behavior of seeing one and loving one, Yuki is quite despised, but Shota is not such a person.
"For a variety of reasons...... It had nothing to do with the marriage contract at all, I didn't know about the marriage contract at the time, this inexplicable marriage contract. β
"Oh, that's right." Yukino said very casually that she knew.
"Don't be so perfunctory, let me tell you carefully......"
"Please don't, I'm not interested in your past affairs."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
By the end of the meal, Shota still couldn't convince Yukino to let her listen to her tell her about Isshiki.
Shota doesn't actually like to tell others what is in his heart, but when he meets Isshiki again, especially when he still has an inexplicable fiancΓ©e sitting next to him, there are some things he wants to confide in others. But Yukino was unceremonious and refused very resolutely! What a Snow Girl! Shota glanced at Yukino, and secretly complained in his heart about the cold expression that barely changed.
"Why don't you go and talk to her?" Yukino looked at the ordering table again and said lightly.
"Still no, I'm not that cheeky."
Although,I don't know why Isseki said such decisive words at that time.,But after all, it was she who proposed to break up.γ
"Let's go back."
Yukino nodded and said no more.
After the two leave the burger joint, Isshiki finds the manager and asks him to take a break.
"Even if you don't say it, I'm wondering if I want you to take a break, your face is so ugly, what's wrong?" Because the store manager is a relative of Isshiki, the manager takes a lot of care of Isshiki, and he has long found out that something is wrong with Isshiki.
On weekdays, I am always full of energy, but today I always can't lift my energy, and I always wander when I work.
"It's okay...... It's just a school thing, I'm sorry, I'll go to the lounge to rest first......" Without waiting for the manager to respond, Isshiki trotted into the staff lounge with his head down.
The staff lounge is empty, and of course, it's the busiest time in the store. Without the noisy environment outside the store, and without the customers who must be greeted with a smile, Isshiki finally no longer has to force himself to smile.
With his back pressed against the cold door, he sat on the ground with a hollow face, his right hand sometimes clenching his uniform tightly, sometimes loosening.
After a long time, Isshiki struggled, kept shaking and stood up from the ground, muttering to himself, "It's not ...... Did you anticipate something you had anticipated? Why am I so surprised......"
Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his flustered heart no longer throbbed, Yishi patted his cheeks, showed a flattering smile again, and calmly walked out of the lounge.
"From the beginning, it was for ......"
