Chapter 56: What Was He Like When He Was a Child?
Asai Mako pondered for a while and said, "It's best not to take up too much time, I'll have something to do later." ”
Later, I will go home to wash the clothes of Naoki Natsume, who is entangled with you, and after washing the clothes, I have to go out to buy groceries and cook his favorite Chinese food for him at noon.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about in the heart, and with Asai's character, he will definitely not say it......
If it were her turn to eat Naoki Natsume's vinegar one day, the black-bellied maid would definitely let Mio Izumi see instead of hear.
Mio Izumi couldn't guess what the impeccable maid was thinking, but she was glad that she was willing to give her face.
"That's great, it won't take up much of your time, it's just...... Let's talk about Natsume-san. ”
There are many leisure places in Waseda University, not only are there several cafeterias, but even small cafes for afternoon tea have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the storefronts may not be large, but the decoration must be very distinctive.
or cute and lively, all of them are small and fresh potted plants and cats; Or simple and fashionable, chosen by many clubs with only a few people to hold plenary meetings.
Mio Izumi and Mao Asai sit in a small café with only a few tables, and the work-study clerk comes to ask what they want to drink, and Asai orders the cheapest cup of coffee, while Mio Izumi asks for a cup of boiling water.
As a professional athlete, stay away from too much sugar and caffeine as much as possible, even if her favorite thing is caramel milk tea.
Mao Asai noticed Mio Izumi's gaze hesitating for a moment on the menu handed by the clerk, and she was struggling with the latte with the caramel milk cap.
It seems that she likes caramel over milk tea, Asai thought to herself.
"Need dessert? That ......"
"My name is Mao Asai. No, eating too much will make you fat. ”
"I think so too, then let's order a cup of coffee first, if Asai is hungry, please don't be polite to me, this shop is quite affordable."
Mio Izumi smiled at the clerk and handed back the menu, and the clerk went back to the bar to work, this shop is so small that it can only afford to hire one person to work part-time as a clerk and barista, but fortunately it is close to the school building, and it is quiet.
Mio Izumi is the flower of the Department of Physical Education, and wherever she goes, she will be secretly photographed and put on the confession wall to confess, and finally she deliberately marked it to be anonymous, so that she doesn't understand the meaning of doing this.
She didn't want to spread such troubles to Asai Mao, but fortunately there was no one in the coffee shop today, and I don't know if it was a college student at eight or nine o'clock who had a class and a corpse without a class, or if the matter of drinking coffee early in the morning was a bit stupid in itself?
But I can't care so much, drinking coffee is just an excuse, the main thing is ......
"I take the liberty of asking, are you and Natsume-san a couple?"
Mio Izumi chooses a straight ball!
There is nothing to talk about when Maao Asai sits with a "strange" senior sister, and the topic between her and Naoki Natsume is still slowly cultivated after living together for more than a month, and they have nothing to say when they sit together at first.
So just now she was turning her head to look at the scenery outside the window, and now she turned her head and looked at Mio Izumi seriously.
It's quite unexpected, could it be that my information is wrong?
Asai has always felt that Mio Izumi should also be interesting to Naoki Natsume, after all, women know women best!
But she didn't move for a long time, and then Asai subconsciously felt that the senior sister might also be very introverted.
Strange, why use also?
But today, Mio Izumi was so brave with the girl she met for the first time, and asked her relationship with Naoki Natsume bluntly, so she began to wonder if she had always misunderstood Mio Izumi's character.
Could it be that poor Naoki is just wishful thinking, and Senpai doesn't like him?
It's hard, and the workload has increased.
"No, I remember Natsume at dinner that day, he had already denied it."
"So you knew I was there that day?"
"I'm a man who never forgets it, and everyone I see it will remember it."
"I thought Natsume mentioned me to you."
"Hmm...... He did mention it a few times. ”
"Ah, did you really mention it?"
Mio Izumi was obviously a little surprised, but before the surprise dissipated, it turned into a trace of anxiety again: "Then what did he say?" You also know that people care a lot about what other people think. ”
Asai Mao's pupils reflected Mio Izumi's shadow, and she squinted, pretending to be pensive.
"Said that you are very good at sports, you are the minister of the sports club, and he is not in good health and envy a person like you who has good sports nerves."
"That's right...... Did you say anything else? ”
"No, I don't talk to him much, after all, I haven't seen him in twelve years."
Mio Izumi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she thought that Asai Mao also knew about the Chinese medicine, which involved her unspeakable privacy.
It seems that Natsume-kun has a good secret!
"Is it because I haven't seen each other for a long time that I don't talk often?" Mio Izumi pretended to be thoughtful and smiled: "Natsume rarely mentions anything about you, and since I saw you in the cafeteria that day, I haven't seen you appear with Natsume again...... I thought you were afraid that Natsume-san's girlfriend would get angry, so you didn't contact him. ”
Uh-huh~
Asai Mako snorted softly in his heart, feeling a little interesting.
Sure enough, understanding others through that stupid guy is too one-sided, and if you really want to know what kind of person Mio Izumi is, you have to talk face-to-face like this.
Otherwise, how would Naoki Natsume know that under the cheerful and lively personality of the Izumi-senpai he admires, there are also some girls who are unique to caution?
And such a careful machine will only work when facing the same sex.
This sentence is really ingenious, with a hint of tea but not offensive, Asai is interested.
"Natsume, he doesn't have a girlfriend, and the two of us have become separated, but we haven't seen each other for a long time." She whispered, "There's no way anyone like him is." ”
Mio Izumi nodded lightly when she heard this, unable to see what was going on in her heart.
Asai Mao said impeccably, and she even had some familiar tone in her tone that Qingmei disliked bamboo horses-
Only a friend of the opposite sex who was once familiar with her or a tsundere blonde dog would dislike a boy in this tone, and she is deliberately shaping her image to show weakness to Mio Izumi.
It's easy to chat with smart people, and Asai Mao was worried about how to tell Mio Izumi that Naoki Natsume was single and flirtatious, but she didn't expect her to build the steps herself.
A senior sister who is not high in rank and a green plum who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, the two of them are actually comparing who is more tea.
The maid began to enjoy her work.
Mio Izumi asked what she wanted to ask, and her originally nervous heart was relieved after hearing the answer she wanted to hear.
"That's right...... But I don't think Natsume-san should be like this, but he doesn't want to talk about it. So Mio Izumi lowered her eyebrows and said something from her heart.
Not everyone will fall in love with a good-looking girl at first sight, and in Mio Izumi's heart, Naoki Natsume is such a person.
Maybe it's because of her lover's eyes, she sees Natsume Naoki all over her body, exuding a prohibitive light.
Even though she herself is a sought after object, she still doesn't feel that this is the capital that she deserves to be loved.
"He has reached the threshold of joining the sports club through his own efforts, and his results are very good, and he must have suffered a lot behind him." Mio Izumi said.
Asai thought for a moment, "He only told me that he successfully passed the test, and he became one of the first batch of pilot members of the system reform, and you personally guided him." As for how much suffering he endured...... Now he only has the advantage of being able to endure hardship. ”
Mio Izumi nodded: "Yes, Natsume-san, is the hardest I have ever seen, in the fitness plan I made for him, there has never been a time when he shouted that he was tired and gave up, and he gritted his teeth until he was exhausted when he couldn't lift the dumbbell barbell, and that kind of tenacity even made me afraid that he would hurt himself." ”
Asai looked at the coffee handed by the clerk and did not drink it, but looked at his own reflection in the coffee and was silent for a while.
"He's been like this since he was a child, but he used to be very assertive and full of strengths. Right now...... Now someone has to tell him how to do it, and better if he can tell him how to do it in moderation. Oh, obviously he used to teach others. ”
Mio Izumi couldn't understand the second half of Asai Mao's words, but she thought it was when they were young, so she was more interested in the first half of the sentence.
"When I was a kid...... Natsume-san when he was a child, what kind of person was he? ”
Asai understands that Mio Izumi wants to know more about Natsume, and in her opinion, this is a good thing.
So she took a sip of coffee elegantly, with a little more memory in her eyes, and began to tell the charming little kid in the past.
