Meal.

Melissa and Klein went to the apartment next door to find Chiba, asked the landlord, and also went to the room where he lived, but the door was locked and obviously not at home.

The brother and sister waited downstairs for more than half an hour, but they didn't wait for others to come back and could only go back to rest.

……

Early the next morning.

Melissa, as usual, said goodbye to Klein after breakfast, and was reluctant to take the public carriage and walk all the way to school.

Originally, she thought that she would meet Chiba halfway this morning, but every time she turned around, she couldn't see his figure, and she didn't wait for him until she arrived at the school gate and waited for a while, which disappointed her for another morning.

Where the hell did he go?

Melissa walked into the classroom and said to herself that she had come to the classroom and sat down in her place, but she couldn't be quiet, and her mind was full of his appearance.

Even her classmates greeted her, but she ignored her.

Until......

The teacher walked into the classroom, stood on the podium, glanced at the sixty-nine students in the class, and said, "Good morning, students! ”

"Hello teacher!"

"Sit down!"

The crowd sat down.

Bosani said: "Today is another good day, a new day and a new beginning, I hope everyone will study hard and prosper." ”

Melissa swept out the window, wondering if Chiba had come to school today.

……

Until noon, Melissa walked into the cafeteria, and she didn't see Chiba, so she was bored and had a cheap snack to eat.

A slice of bread, a serving of tomatoes.

Although there is no nutrition, she can only choose the cheapest one in order to save money.

Melissa did not eat in the cafeteria, but came to the grove behind the school with a plate and sat alone on a bench under the shade of the tree and ate.

At this time, a man came and sat down beside her, and she did not look up, and continued to eat with her head down.

Suddenly, a hand reached for her lunch box and placed two chicken legs in it.

Melissa was stunned, what's the situation?

Someone handed chicken legs to themselves, who could it be?

She didn't know, and it hadn't happened before.

It wasn't until she looked sideways and froze, halfway through the bread in her mouth, that her eyes were slightly red as she looked at him.

There are also breadcrumbs at the corners of the mouth.

He was none other than Chiba.

Chiba noticed the crumbs on the corner of Melissa's mouth, took out a white handkerchief from the pocket of her black trench coat and put it to her mouth, helping her wipe the crumbs off: "Well, it looks better this way." ”

Melissa quickly lowered her head after reacting, her face turned red again, no one had ever been so gentle and considerate to her since she was a child.

In addition to her family, Chiba is the first outsider, so she is not only shy, but also warm and touched.

"Thousand ...... Chiba-sama, where did the chicken legs come from? ”

Melissa asked.

Her brown eyes wandered, not daring to look at him, and her face was slightly shy and reddened, as careful as a mimosa.

Chiba smiled, reached out and took off the shabby gauze hat she was wearing on her head, and rubbed her head with her right hand: "Silly girl, you don't care where it came from, I'm still afraid that I won't be poisoned, it's still hot and taste how it tastes, it's not delicious when it's cold." ”

Uh-huh~

Melissa nodded so obediently, she didn't refuse, she didn't know how to refuse, the key was that she couldn't refuse, although she felt that it was wrong to eat other people's things like this, but she just couldn't refuse him, her right hand seemed to disobey her own call and picked up a chicken leg and put it in her mouth and took a bite.

Chicken and gravy, oily water, aroma, umami filled her taste buds, making her extremely satisfied and appetite.

I can't imagine that a chicken leg can satisfy her, it's been a long time since she has eaten chicken legs, and she actually doesn't remember.

Melissa was eating the chicken leg while secretly squinting at Chiba's gaze, and was slightly relieved to see that he didn't look at her.

Chiba looked at the shabby gauze hat in her hand, it should have been a legacy of what her mother wore before her death, so she continued to wear it, and there were a few small holes in some places, which didn't look very elegant.

As soon as she had an idea, it happened that there were all kinds of needles and threads in her ring space, so it would not be a problem to help her mend it.

With her own ability, it is not a problem to help her completely restore this worn-out gauze hat, and by the way, the icing on the cake, embroidering a few small red flowers is even more distinctive and beautiful.

After Melissa finished eating a chicken leg, she covered the lunch box, and she planned to keep the rest for Klein to eat when she came home from school.

"Melissa, I'll help you mend your gauze hat to see if it's agreeable?" Chiba said as he stretched his gauze hat in front of her.

Thank you for your support
