Chapter 33: Mistakes
The lights are on at the beginning of the day, and the evening breeze is blowing. The high-rise buildings are still bustling and busy, with crowds coming and going.
Hoshimi Mibu and Mai Shiraishi swiped their cards one after the other through the turnstile. Looking at Xingjian who was still moving forward, Shiraishi shook his head helplessly with a smile, trotted two steps to her side and asked, "Which pharmacy to go to?" Convenience stores should also have first-aid medicines. Miho lives in Suginami Ward, right? Just now, she called herself the thirteenth sister of Sugi and Thirteen. ”
"Where is the self-proclaimed, I was supposed to be - the convenience store arrived." Hoshimi subconsciously stopped to refute Shiraishi's ridicule, but Yuguang noticed the bright convenience store behind her.
Shiraishi glanced back, gently took Hoshimi's hand and walked towards the convenience store, "Then let's go, can I invite you to eat a lollipop?" ”
"So you're also a pervert?" Hoshimi silently took half a step back, watching with a frightened look on his face as Shiraishi gripped his wrist.
"Huh? Have you ever encountered a pervert? No, I'm not a pervert, don't you like candy very much? I always see you eating candy, don't they all take candy from you when they are hungry? ”
"What! Ikuta, this guy steals my candy again, why I don't know, I just feel wrong, I used to eat a box a week, but now it's gone in less than three days. ”
"So you're ready to pass through the matter of calling people perverted for no reason?"
"I'm sorry, I thought Mai and Youdan not only had a good relationship, but also had some strange hobbies."
"I've forgiven you."
Hoshimi picked up iodophor, cotton swabs, and band-aids and walked to the cash register, while Shiraishi picked up a piece of chewing gum in front of the cash register.
Hoshimi looked at the team, suddenly patted his head, and shouted in annoyance: "Oops! Misguided. ”
"What's wrong?"
"I forgot to ask those guys just now and didn't bring any money, so they should pay for my medical expenses! What a shame on me! ”
"You're really bad!"
"It's all said no, do you want to buy chewing gum for Mai? Give it to me and check out together to save time. ”
"No need."
"It's just a thank you." Hoshimi pulled the gum out of Shiraishi's hand and put it on the cash register, "Together." ”
Hoshimi returned the chewing gum to Shiraishi, walked to the chair in front of the windowsill of the convenience store and sat down with the bag himself, not paying attention to Shiraishi's strange eyes and checking the receipt, "Sure enough, those guys should be asked to pay, the price is too expensive." ”
"Well, miho's wallet is new from Burberry, right? The cardigan is also a new winter product for Margaret Howell, so no matter how you look at it, you won't be short of money, right? ”
Hoshimi looked at her seriously, "Will Mai dislike herself for having a lot of money?" Clothes are all appearances, and people wearing branded clothes may also be so poor that they can only rob junior high school students. ”
There was a hint of strangeness in his glass-like eyes, and Hoshimi sighed, "I finally saved a sum of money for a meal today, and I was squandered at night, so I am really unwilling." ”
Shiraishi couldn't help but laugh out loud when he looked at Hoshimi's distressed appearance, but the mobile phone on the table lit up when Hoshimi was about to criticize Shiraishi, looking at the flashing name, her heart tightened and signaled Shiraishi to silence, confirming that Shiraishi understood what she meant before taking a deep breath and pressing answer.
"Mom?"
"I'll be back soon, and I won't be picked up, it's only seven o'clock, isn't it? I really didn't have to pick me up, someone sent me home, yes, it was Shiraishi-san. ”
"Huh? Need to talk to Shiraishi-san? You wait a minute. Hoshimi put down his hand, and Mike, who was holding his phone tightly, beat his chest at the confused Shiraishi on the side, and reminded the other party not to say anything about the injury before handing the phone over.
"Hello, I'm Mai Shiraishi. Yes, Miho is with me, I'll send her back, don't worry. Shiraishi involuntarily tensed, his fingertips gently rubbing against the edge of the long table.
"Reassured? I'll be back soon, we haven't eaten yet, mom can order food first, wait. Hoshimi put down his phone and turned to Shiraishi and asked, "Is there anything taboo about Mai?" ”
Shiraishi shook his head.
"There's no taboo, by the way, if you can, ask the store if you can send a box of mayonnaise, Mai seems to like it very much, yes, I'll see you later."
Seeing Hoshimi hang up the phone, Shiraishi stopped Hoshimi's neck hard, retracted it vigorously, and kept saying in his mouth: "Are you having trouble with mayonnaise!" ”
"My neck! You all like to lock your throats! What kind of group is this! Hoshimi pinched her phone in pain, the screen of the phone had just been stained with sweat by her nervous fingers, and now she was pressed on the screen by her clenched fingers from time to time.
"It hurts! Lighter! ”
"You're asking for yourself." Shiraishi raised his eyes to look at Hoshi, who was biting his lower lip, with a small face, his complexion, which was already pale, was now even more pale, and he mocked mercilessly on his hand, but he couldn't help but lighten it, and the cotton swab stained in iodine wine was just lightly pointed on the torn wound.
"Alright, put the band-aid on it."
Shiraishi helplessly looked at Hoshimi, who was pouting and blowing towards the mouth that had just been drugged, and almost laughed again, silently tearing off the mouth sticker and slowly sticking it to the wound that did not continue to bleed, and gently blew it for her. "Okay, right? I didn't see that you were so afraid of pain when you punched hard just now. ”
"How can you not be afraid, it's meat! Meat! It's all bleeding, and I don't know how much barbecue I have to eat to make up for it. Hoshimi gently pressed the band-aid to tighten it to the wound, and then neatly tucked the rest of the medicine into the depths of the bag and covered it with a book.
"Mai like, don't say it's bad for a while, my mother didn't pay attention to it, just forget it, if she noticed, she said that she accidentally fell and broke a little skin, anyway, my legs and feet are well-known, my mother nagged at most to be careful, if she knew it was bad, I wouldn't have any freedom at all."
Shiraishi nodded very understandingly, and accompanied Hoshimi home. When he followed Hoshimi into the high-rise apartment, Shiraishi trusted his judgment even more, this guy was really just picking on the door, not because he was poor at all.
"We're back. This is Mai Shiraishi. ”
"Is it a beauty? Do you have a contract with a magazine? Interested in modeling? I can help. Mikoto Hoshimi stood behind the bar and looked down at Mai Shiraishi.
Hoshimi felt the stiffness of the person behind him for a moment, and interrupted loudly: "Mom should go and discuss this kind of thing with the agent, I'm already hungry, the pizza has arrived, I seem to smell the fragrance." ”
"The nose is very smart, it's here, but you have to wait a minute, the pasta I ordered for you hasn't arrived yet, there may be seven or eight minutes, let's sit down for a while."
"I'm going to change my clothes first, will Mai come with me?" Hoshimi hung his coat in the doorway, then turned around and simply folded the coat that Shiraishi had taken off and placed it on the shoe cabinet.
"Huh?"
"It's not like changing clothes, let's go to my room." Looking at Mai Shiraishi, who had been restrained since entering the door, Hoshimi felt a burst of amusement.
"It's amazing."
"What kind of spirit?" Hoshimi took off his loungewear from the hanger behind the bedroom door and answered as he changed his clothes.
"I thought there would be a lot of photography books or fashion magazines in Miho's room, but it wasn't, but I didn't expect the shelves to be full of science magazines." Shiraishi walked to the bookshelf and squatted down, and found that the lower row was almost full of popular science books, and even the "New Scientist Magazine" had been bought since 08 for this month.
"Yes, photography magazines, fashion magazines, etc., but because there are so many of them, they are in the study. Because my mother works in a magazine, my mother bought these kinds of books and put them in the study. The books in the room are all of my interest, not only science, but also a bookshelf next to the desk. ”
Hoshimi straightened the corners of his clothes, and straightened his messy hair in the mirror, tied it up with a rubber band, and pinned the mischievous bangs behind his head with a hairpin. "It's almost there, I think I heard the doorbell ringing. Let's go to dinner together, Mai. ”
