At one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, somewhere in the golden arches of Chiyoda.

Sitting in the dirt by the window, holding a glass of ice, biting the straw beautifully, with an expression of enjoyment.

In the place next to her, sat Shiina Mashiro, and outside was Jiang Yu. And on the opposite seat, of course, there are Kasumigaoka Shiyu, An Yilunya, and Kato Megumi.

Jiang Yu twisted up a french fry, then put it down, as if he remembered something, and said to Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "Speaking of which, I almost forgot to congratulate you, senior sister, the signing will be a great success!" ”

"Oops~" Unexpectedly, Kasumigaoka Shiyu had a sad expression, soaring with her acting skills, and said, "It's actually 'almost forgot', it turns out that senior sister I, in the eyes of juniors, am I the kind of dispensable and useless senior?" ”

"Senior sister, you must know that I'm just trying to lead the topic, and when I don't let myself say this kind of thing, it seems abrupt, right?! Right?! ”

Jiang Yu looked at the black-bellied girl pretending to be sad in front of him, and rubbed his temples with a headache.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu just smiled when he heard this, noncommittal. At this moment, Megumi Kato, who had been listening to everyone's conversation silently just now, suddenly spoke: "Indeed, compared to the last signing meeting in another county, not only is it much more formal, but even the number of people who came is a lot. ”

"Of course!" An Yilun also lifted his glasses and answered seriously, "Let's not talk about the gap between a publishing house and a small and medium-sized bookstore, the scope of publicity alone is different!" The last signing session of Senior Sister Shiyu was held to commemorate the completion of the book after the end, and the scope of publicity was only in this area; And this new book launch will be for the whole country! Whole! Country! It's really worthy of Teacher Xia Shizi, it's amazing! ”

“…… Yes, is that so? ”

Megumi Kato, who was also robbed by An Yilun, looked a little dumbfounded, but he still maintained the etiquette of communication between people, and said in response.

Jiang Yu covered his eyes with his hands again, looked at this scene with some unbearable eyes, and secretly said in his heart: Lun is really worthy of being a brain-dead fan of Senior Sister Xiazhiqiu......

And, I don't know if it's his delusion, he always feels that this friend of his own, sometimes looking at Megumi Kato's gaze all morning this morning, is a little weird.

It's not the weird kind of gaze that makes people think about it, but it's a different kind of ...... There is a gaze that is not very clear. If you have to describe it, probably, bitterness and hatred?

It's as if when you see each other, you think of some extremely bad memories.

Jiang Yu, who had a clue, finally gave up thinking about this problem, unconsciously turned his head, and saw Shiina Mashiro with oil stains on his mouth.

Showing a slightly helpless smile, Jiang Yu picked up the paper towel on the dining table, and in the extremely surprised eyes of the others, especially the three people opposite, he moved skillfully and naturally, holding Shiina Mashiro's head with one hand, and carefully helping the other party wipe his mouth with the other hand.

So, in the stunned expressions of the three people opposite, Jiang Yu naturally finished all this, and then drank the Coke in front of him casually.

“……”×3。

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the three people opposite became a little strange. Megumi Kato was okay, and after thinking about the possibility of things a little, she relaxed her brow that was suddenly frowning just now; And Kasumigaoka Shiyu bit his lip, and said to Jiang Yu with a playful expression and a smile: "...... I've wanted to ask since just now, who is this girl? Unexpectedly, is it actually the 'family' of the younger generation? ”

Well, the two words of family bite very hard.

Jiang Yu looked at the three people opposite him a little inexplicably, he was almost used to taking care of the girl like this recently, and for a while, he couldn't figure out the reason why they looked like this.

However, although he hadn't thought it through in his mind, Jiang Yu still said, "Hmm...... It seems that it has not been introduced to the senior sister? This is Shiina, Shiina Mashiro, and now lives in my house temporarily. Shiina, this is Kasumigaoka Shiyu, pen name "Kasumi Shiko", is the author of "Love Metronome"? ”

Hearing this, he didn't calm down, and it was An Yilun who exclaimed.

I only heard him say in amazement: "Soul light Ah Yu! You lied to me that Shiina was a tenant of your house? You found a girlfriend and didn't tell me! ”

Girlfriend?

Jiang Yu knew in his heart the expressions of the few people opposite, what was going on. I saw him shake his head and smile. Quite calmly explained: "It's not a girlfriend, I'm just in charge of taking care of her." It's just that as it happens, Shiina is a little special. ”

"Special?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu raised his eyebrows, and the jade legs that were customarily wrapped in black silk shook slightly under the table, and said a little impatiently, "What kind of 'special' is the so-called 'special' of the junior king?" I'm really curious. ”

Megumi Kato, who had been silent since just now, also focused her eyes on Jiang Yu's face, as if she was a little curious about how he would answer. Although the girl has a certain amount of confidence in her guess, she also has to look at the correct answer for herself to feel at ease, right?

Seeing this, Jiang Yu had a headache. It's not impossible to ask him to tell the truth, and it's not something worth keeping secret anyway. However, the most crucial point is - what if he says it, what if others don't believe it?

He didn't bother to explain the problem over and over again.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu Yuguang saw Tsuchima who had not joined the conversation, his eyes lit up, he coughed lightly twice, and said, "What's so special...... I think I'll let Xiao Bury explain it to you! ”

As he spoke, Jiang Yu leaned over slightly and patted his sister's shoulder with his left hand.

“——？”

From just now, his attention was completely out of the soil buried here, and he put down the mobile game that he didn't know when he opened, and put on a confused look, looking at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu naturally only briefly described what happened, and then with an uncontrollable smile, he began to "wash away his grievances" for his brother.

After listening to the explanation of the burial in the earth, the atmosphere that seemed subtle just now instantly returned to the previous harmonious state. Kasumigaoka Shiyu also became as if nothing had happened just now, and began to ask about Jiang Yu's new book released today.

In addition, she also took out a copy of "Spring Things" from her backpack, saying that she wanted to "exchange gifts" and asked Jiang Yu to sign it for her.

As soon as this topic was thrown, everyone except Shiina Mashiro was attracted to attention. They all took out the light that they had bought at the big bookstore next to the signing party and put it in front of Jiang Yu.

So, in the blink of an eye, Jiang Yu's eyes were filled with a stack of "Spring Things" waiting for him, the "author", to sign.
