Dark grey skies blanket the city, and the already bustling neighborhoods are dazzled by colourful neon lights, with a surge of traffic and crowds.

"It's getting dark, and I didn't think I had been there for long." Hoshimi took Hashimoto through the side gate and skirted the garden and pushed his bicycle straight to the taxi stand.

“miho。” Hashimoto bit his lower lip, his fingers gripping the strap of his handbag tightly.

"Huh?" Hoshimi turned his head to look at Hashimoto while holding the car, and through Hashimoto, he could see the inpatient department behind her, and every floor was lit up with white light, which was dazzling and terrifying.

Hashimoto lowered his head and didn't meet Hoshimi's gaze, and he stared at the whitish toe of his shoes and didn't notice the distracted Hoshimi, "How much did this inspection cost, I'll give you the money tomorrow during the dance class." ”

"Invite me to dinner. Tomorrow in dance class, I want to eat chicken-flavored babystar crispy noodles, and Nana Min can buy two more packs if she wants, and Mai seems to like it too. Hoshimi retracted his gaze and fell back on Nanami Hashimoto, and the afterglow glimpsed her shadow and felt very familiar.

"I'm not kidding." Hashimoto's tone intensified, and his breathing seemed to become heavy.

"I'm not kidding." Hoshimi stared at Hashimoto's eyes seriously, not giving the other party the slightest room to dodge, "If Nanami wants to worry about the medical fee, then I can say clearly: Since it was Nanami who I hit at that time, then I will definitely be responsible to the end." Your waist will be in my charge from now on, and since it is the cost of looking at the lumbar spine, then I should also be responsible. ”

Hashimoto felt a little funny and angry after hearing this, but the moment he raised his eyes, he found that there was a hint of sternness in Hoshimi's eyes, and he couldn't allow her to refuse again.

"I know Nanami is going to be angry, and I think Nanami should know that I'm upset about it. It's not relying on me, it's just my one-sided stubbornness, I care about you, it has nothing to do with you, I'm just soothing myself. Of course, I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to Nanami because of the deception. Hoshimi stepped back half a step until he got to the front of the car, and bowed to Hashimoto in apology.

Hashimoto remembered the sense of majesty emanating from Hoshimi just now, and was inexplicably a little shaken, and muttered coldly: "Is it really the eldest lady?" ”

Fang Cai's gaze dissipated instantly, followed by Hoshimi's loud protest: "What Miss? Have you ever seen a lady like me who rides a bicycle to save fare? Really, whose money wasn't saved little by little from Yoshio Konno's hands. Not to mention that my money has to go through the destruction of Ikuta and Asuka. Speaking of sadness, remembering his increasingly shriveled purse, Hoshimi looked up at the leaden ink-colored sky, like the dark hearts and appetites of some members, and subconsciously reached out to cover the change he had hidden in his inner pocket.

Hashimoto was suddenly confused by Hoshimi's sudden change of emotion, and when he saw her reaching out and holding her stomach, he mistakenly thought that Hoshimi was really hungry, so he asked, "What does Miho want to eat?" ”

Hoshimi's eyes purred, and when he saw a taxi coming in the distance, he waved and asked, "Does Nanami know how to cook?" ”

"Yes."

"What about the barbecue? Didn't Nanami work at a barbecue restaurant before? How about the barbecue? Is there any secret ingredient? ”

"It's fine. But how did Miho know that I was working at a yakiniku restaurant? ”

"I've taken Ikuta's group of money-burning alliances to the shop where Nanamin works, but I should be the only one who discovered Nanamin's existence. It was also at that time that I noticed that Nanami often seemed to rub her waist, and considering that your selection team has been on a tight schedule lately, I can only find a working day to take you out to see a doctor. ”

The taxi stopped steadily in front of the two, and Hoshimi took the lead in opening the door of the back seat and signaled Hashimoto to get in the car, then went around to the trunk and folded the bicycle in, and then reported the address of his home to the driver's master before getting in the car and continued: "And it just so happens that my mother is not at home recently, otherwise if Xie Ye and my mother reveal that I will take you to the hospital, the thing I fainted before will definitely be turned over." ”

"Is that so? But revealing information to Dr. Xie Ye and Auntie, does it have anything to do with her not being at home? ”

"Of course there is, once my mother gets busy, she won't have time to care about me, and it's easy to forget to ask about these little things when she comes back, and at most I just say that I fell down again or something like that."

Hashimoto nodded thoughtfully, looked at the receding streetscape outside the car window and asked, "So are we going to a barbecue restaurant?" ”

"No, go to my house. Yesterday someone sent a few servings of beef to my home, and I simply marinated it according to the recipe on the Internet before I went out in the morning, and I didn't know if it would work. It just so happens that Nanami doesn't have to work tonight, if you still can't accept me to pay for the consultation, go to my house and work for me, help me barbecue, the kind of food. I still settle the salary according to the standard of the barbecue restaurant, and I will deduct it from the consultation fee. ”

"How can it be counted like that?"

"That's how the rules of the Hoshimi family are." Hoshimi leaned lazily on the back of his chair, ignoring Hashimoto's distrustful gaze at him, and quietly took out his mobile phone by himself, looking at the screen full of unread messages, all from the good old man squad leader - Shirakami Yukiba. 'This guy is as idle as ever! Why do you always hold on to me, obviously I am so law-abiding now. Hoshimi poked at the phone screen angrily, complaining in his heart.

Hashimoto also subconsciously took out his mobile phone, and several unread emails also appeared.

"What's wrong?" Hoshimi caught a glimpse of Hashimoto's face with a sudden look of embarrassment.

"Maimai's message, she asked you if you had any questions." Hashimoto shook his head with a wry smile on his face and turned his phone screen to Hoshimi.

"Let's just say that I'm just doing a routine physical examination, and it's a Christmas physical examination package, and I went to the hospital alone and was scared, so I pulled Nana Min here, and there was no big problem."

"Is that a lie to Maimai?"

"I'm not lying to her, I already bought this package, but it's just next week. The time was just around for Nanamin's follow-up visit, so I could only ask Nanami to spare time to accompany me to the hospital by the way. After saying that, Hoshimi didn't pay attention to Hashimoto's reaction, but just pulled the screen directly to the bottom and replied with a "thank you" to clear the chat history with the other party, and pinched the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed in annoyance, and no longer paid attention to the mobile phone that began to vibrate again.

"Maimai is worried about your stubbornness, so I'll be sure to confirm with her when the report comes out." Hashimoto also fell into the same predicament as Hoshimi, and helplessly collapsed in his chair and stared out the window.

"Nanami doesn't want to tell anyone about her own business, so she won't tell anyone." Hoshimi saw Hashimoto turn his head and continued, "Of course, I will take care of what I want to manage." ”

Watching Hashimoto frown and turn his head back, Hoshimi smiled and pressed the bright phone, swiped the contact to find Mai Fukagawa, and clicked send after a quick tap of his finger on the screen. Before she could put her phone down, a new bubble appeared in the notification bar.

"I hope maimai doesn't eat like some people, or only eats sauce and no meat." Hoshimi smiled unconsciously, and continued, "I sent Maimai a dinner invitation and address, and I'm going to trouble Nana Min to grill more meat in a while." Of course, the salary is hourly and does not change because the number of people increases. ”

Hashimoto turned his back to his chin, and Hoshimi smiled lightly on the glass window, and the smile jumped out of the small window and quietly climbed onto the corner of Hashimoto's mouth.
