Chapter 25: The Barbecue Talks
"Jingle Bell"
The crisp chime of the car rang in Ikuta's ears, and the black shadow grew bigger and bigger, casting a shadow on the page she opened.
Ikuta raised his head and closed the book, Hoshimi was riding on a bicycle, his eyes were bright, and his sweat-soaked sideburns hung down his cheeks obediently, "What are you doing in a daze?" Let's go, you don't have to pay extra service fees if you order before five o'clock. ”
Hoshimi looked at the stunned Ikuta and frowned helplessly and reminded that the tip of his nose that had been rubbed by the wind was a little red, which was particularly obvious against the background of his fair skin.
"Got it," Ikuta replied, hurriedly stuffing the book back into his backpack, and when he looked up, he saw Hoshimi's leg propped on the ground kick hard, and the bicycle immediately shot forward.
"Huh! What are you doing? I haven't sat down yet, how can I get there? ”
"Follow!" Hoshimi looked back at Ikuta, who was still waving vigorously on the platform, and the familiar dimples climbed up his cheeks, and shouted at her with a smile.
"Yikes!" Ikuta carried his backpack and wanted to smash it on that hateful face.
"You're running too slow, aren't you?"
Seeing that Ikuta didn't catch up for a long time, obviously running hard but like a turtle, Hoshimi pinched the brakes and stopped, and when he saw that there was no car nearby, he drew a circle and rode back.
"I see that your physical education is really taught by the life teacher, and it is used to dry clothes, come up, Xiao Nan may have arrived. And you get off at the same station, why can't you find your way? You didn't make an appointment to go together? ”
Ikuta watched Hoshimi circle around her, only to stop and gasp, looking at her with a cold face without saying a word.
"What are you looking for? Why don't you keep running? After saying that, Hoshimi made a gesture and prepared to twist the front of the car and prepare to ride away. Ikuta hurriedly put his backpack in the back seat and held it down with his hand.
"Put the bag in front." Hoshimi didn't continue to tease her, but still smiled and looked ahead and said to himself.
Waiting for Ikuta to straddle the car and skillfully hold Hoshimi before she continued to ride forward.
"Heavy......" The heavy car pulled the ground, making Hoshimi, who was struggling to pedal, subconsciously complain.
"What did you say?" Ikuta's fingers gently clamped her waist, like a lurking killer, as if he would pull the trigger and hit the target in the next second.
"I didn't speak. No, I was just singing, just practicing, Heavy Rotation~"
"It's better to stay on your legs and ride faster than to have the strength to sing, I'm hungry when it's so slow."
"What time are you hungry?" After saying that, Hoshimi couldn't help but scold, "You still have to eat it so heavy." ’
"You have to eat at four o'clock in the afternoon, and I eat my lunch a little early."
"How early?"
"It's past twelve."
"That's normal eating time......
"You're singing again?"
"No, it's the wind, you heard it wrong." Feeling the cold air coming from behind him, Hoshimi couldn't help but shiver and shut his mouth in time.
When the two arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Asuka Saito and Minami Hoshino were standing together and chatting by the shop sign.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Hoshimi locked the car and walked in with the three of them.
"It's okay, thanks to Miho for asking me to dinner, otherwise I'm still being stared at home by my mother doing my homework." Minami Hoshino sighed.
"It's obviously Miho's fault, otherwise Xiao Nan wouldn't have so many more rolls for no reason."
"Asuka Saito, you don't seem to have written your homework at all, right? Need a tutor? My teacher and Xiaonan are very good. ”
"No need! I can do it myself, so there's no need to bother you. ”
"Count you as acquaintances. Let's order first, Hiya and Sayuri should already be nearby, we can have a part first. Hoshimi put down his phone and picked up the menu, waving to the clerk.
After ordering, Hoshimi looked at Ikuta and sighed, "I really didn't expect you and Sayuri to have such a good relationship and be able to make an appointment to eat together." ”
"It's normal, we often eat fried chicken together when we stay together." Ikuta, who was excited, looked at the meat on the table, shook his body involuntarily, and played with the tongs used to grill the meat.
"I can see from the wheel prints that your fried chicken is not eaten in vain."
"What do you mean?" Ikuta looked at Hoshimi strangely, Asuka on the side lowered his head and snickered, and Konan looked intently at the sizzling barbecue lying on the electric grill.
"Riya Xiang, Sha Youli here!"
Ikuta followed Hoshimi's line of sight, but did not see Nakamoto and Matsumura, and when he turned back, Hoshimi's seat was empty.
By the time Hoshimi walked back to his seat with a pot of ice water and a cup, Nakamoto and Matsumura had already arrived, and two empty plates appeared on the table.
"So fast."
Hoshimi poured water for everyone, and reached into his pocket with his right hand lovingly and touched the wallet that was lying quietly.
There were more and more empty plates on the table, and Hoshimi took the initiative to stack them next to him. As the wall clock ticked away, Hoshimi sighed as he looked at the few people who had finally collapsed on their chairs with satisfaction, and at the plate he had in his hand that was almost at the level of his chin.
"Does anyone want dessert? Let's start with the low-fat kind. Hoshimi got up and counted the hands raised, shook his head and left his seat.
When Hoshimi came back, she didn't have the dessert she had in her hand, just five more cups of yogurt standing on the tray in her hand.
"Huh? I thought there was ice cream. Ikuta leaned motionlessly on the back of his chair and raised his eyes.
"The yogurt in this shop is homemade, with a little honey and raisins, and it is also delicious, just right to relieve greasy."
"Okay."
"You guy, at least thank me for all the hard work I put in to get the food. And I was so excited when I ate just now, and I didn't have any energy when I was full. ”
"Oh."
Xing saw her forehead and looked at the warm yellow chandelier above her head, just like her savings plan this month, yellow thoroughly.
"It's delicious, check out. Clerk Sang......?" Matsumura put down the glass contentedly, and prepared to wave to the clerk next to him.
"I just paid for it outside." Hoshimi, who was still holding the glass and scraping off the yogurt residue on the wall of the cup, silently interrupted her. 'Can it not taste good?' You've eaten nine bowls of rice. ’
"Huh? Does Miho have another treat? Wouldn't it be too expensive......" Nakamoto thought of Hoshimi who had spent a month in poverty, and was a little uneasy.
"Well, I was taken care of by everyone when I stayed together, and I never had a chance to thank you, so let me treat you as a reward." Hoshimi put down the glass in his hand and looked at everyone who was a little stunned.
"Don't think too much about it, my mother also specially told me before I went out, and I specially found a house to get a discount coupon."
"I didn't think too much about it, I just regretted that I didn't order an extra beef tongue just now. Can you continue to point now? Ikuta looked at Hoshimi expectantly.
"You don't have to think about it, you don't have a chance." Hoshimi avoided her burning gaze and looked at Asuka and Xiaonan beside her, "Asuka's house is very close to here, I remember, it's no problem to go back by yourself, it's only six o'clock anyway." ”
"It's fine."
"It's okay, I'll send the bird back!" Ikuta, who was still lifeless, instantly recovered.
"Then the birds are dangerous." Hoshimi watched Asuka nervously refuse Ikuta's kindness, and suddenly felt amused.
"Xiao Nan is on the same road as you, if you send the bird, you must let Xiao Nan accompany you, it is better for the two of you to go home directly." Hoshimi looked at the distressed Asuka Saito and couldn't help but speak out to relieve the siege.
"Then I'll go home first." Matsumura looked at the people who started to fight.
"Has you found an apartment? I feel that everyone is so efficient and has found the house I want so quickly, if I had to leave the dormitory, I would have to sleep on the street for a few days. Hoshimi said thoughtfully.
Hoshimi remembered that when he was away from home, he couldn't find an apartment and secretly set up a tent in the park, and if he had money later, he would buy a car first, not settle down on a place to live first. She chuckled and shook her head.
"Because Hoshimi won't ask for help. Everyone will exchange information when they are looking for an apartment, but if it is Hoshimi, it feels like they will be looking for it alone, and if they can't find it, they won't tell others. Zhongyuan said seriously, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.
"Why, I seem to be very withdrawn."
"It's not that I'm lonely, how to say it, I feel like I'm in a state of isolation, and everything has to be clearly divided, and it's also for the sake of demarcation."
"The more you talk about it, the more exaggerated it becomes", Hoshimi waved his hand in denial, "I just said thank you."
Xingjian looked at the scene of the sun and moon shining outside the window and stamped his feet coldly, "Let's go, it's time for us to go home." ”
