"I'll pay for it myself." Natsume said helplessly: "Alas, I thought I had a rich girlfriend, so I wouldn't have to worry about meals, but I didn't expect..."
He deliberately lengthened his tone, looked down at Yang Nai, and expressed his attitude with his actions.
The mockery is obvious.
Yang No was not angry. She waved to the waiter and said lightly, "What does this have to do with money? I'm just worried that you can't finish it, Rinno. Bring five more servings according to the amount just now."
"Hey!"
"Don't worry, I'll pay the money. Just don't waste the food." Yang Nai grabbed his hand, making it impossible for him to escape.
"..."
"I'm not a big eater, so don't record it." Feeling the situation in his stomach, Natsume interrupted the waiter's record.
If he had five more, he would have to spend the night in this restaurant.
The waitress looked at the two of them in confusion, not knowing who to listen to for a moment.
"It's just a joke between lovers. Just bring up the one I just ordered." Natsume said.
Yang No narrowed her eyes and didn't refute. Now it was obvious.
After the waiter left, Natsume took the initiative to rub Yang No's palms, feeling the soft touch of her palms.
"Why did you think of changing into this kind of clothes? Don't you usually like to wear windbreakers?"
"Brother-san actually took the initiative!" Yang Noi changed the subject and held his hand tightly.
"I'm not a wooden stake, are you so surprised?"
"You?" Yang Noi let go of her hand with a smile, leaned forward slightly, her pretty face almost leaning against Natsume's face, and pinched the boy's chin while he looked embarrassed.
"Since we both understand that we are a couple, when we meet in private in the future, just call me by my name, just like I call you Rinno."
...Are you serious?
In the past, when I called her Yang Noi, I would add "sister" at the end, which made it seem intimate without being excessive. If I really called her Yang Noi, it would be the distance between a real couple.
What on earth is going on in her mind?
"Yang No..." Natsume called out this name despite his doubts. Seeing her smile, he felt that he was getting deeper and deeper into it.
But for now, he is still under control. As long as this woman doesn't give him aphrodisiacs and do everything to the extreme, the situation will not be irreversible.
"Hey, that's right. As for this dress." Yang No stretched out her arms, and the sleeves fell down, revealing her fair skin. "The weather is so hot, what's wrong with changing into a skirt? Are you jealous, Rinno?"
Natsume picked up his coffee and looked at the lights outside the window, pretending not to hear her teasing.
"You're shy, I guess I was right."
"I was just in a daze."
Natsume turned around to explain, and what appeared in front of him was a breathtakingly beautiful face, with refreshing short hair hanging by her shoulders, and Yang No's mouth slightly open, allowing him to feel the warm air blowing over her.
This beauty, so close at hand, gave him a strange impulse.
"Rinno, stop making excuses!" Yangno leaned forward and stared at him, exuding the charm of a mature woman and a college girl.
Compared to Yukino, Haruno is indeed more like an enhanced version in all aspects.
"Whatever you think, I've had dinner and I've gained some good feelings for you. I should go back." Natsume hurriedly ate the remaining meat on the plate, wiped his mouth and prepared to leave.
If he stayed any longer, he was worried that he would lose something precious.
"Do you think I'm playing a love game?" Yang No glared at him and said something that made Natsume smack his lips.
I didn't expect that Miss Yukinoshita, who is so busy with her daily affairs, even knows the settings for favorability in love games, while her younger sister just stays in the activity room reading books every day, and has fallen behind the world.
Really, a beautiful girl who doesn’t even know how to play dating games is not cute at all.
"And if this is really a game, I've fed you so many times, your affection for you should have been overflowing a long time ago. Why do you still have this attitude?" Yang No stood up with her bag, put her arm around Natsume, and walked out of the western restaurant looking like a loving couple.
The shrill sound of a whistle and the cool night breeze blowing on his face forced Natsume to calm down, and then he felt his arm touching an inappropriate part.
Or rather, it’s a very suitable location.
Her soft chest pressed against his arm. Yang Nai, who had only drunk a few glasses of wine, behaved like a qualified drunkard, leaning on him and talking nonsense while drunk.
For example, the following sentence.
"Rinno, let's go to the fireworks display. I haven't worn a yukata in a long time." She pinched the material around her waist and suddenly spoke.
Haha, he must be hallucinating. In addition to going to school, Haruno also has to take care of Yukinoshita's family business. How could she have the time to accompany Xianxin to a fireworks display?
Chapter 40: Dismemberment or dismemberment?
"Don't pretend you didn't hear anything~"
Yang No completely shattered Natsume's fantasy. He had originally planned to pass it off as hallucination, so he had no choice but to look at Yang No.
"Why would you want to go to the fireworks festival for no reason? Are things at the Yukinoshita family so easy?"
"I haven't been there for a long time." Yang Nai let go of his neck, put her hands behind her back, and skipped in front of him, looking drunk.
"I haven't been to the summer festival since you left. My mother was busy with family affairs, Xiaoxue went abroad, and you ran away from home. I was left alone and so bored."
"Am I being willful?" Natsume had a blank expression on his face, but he prayed in his heart that the fireworks display would not last only one day.
Otherwise he would be dead!
Although he felt that he accompanied Shiina to watch the fireworks for her safety and to repay her kindness for cooking, there was not much emotional factor involved.
But if Yang Noi found out, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly with just words.
"Well, just forget about the past. If it doesn't work, I'll let you retaliate in the same way, how about that?" Yang Nai stopped and waited for him to walk in front of her, and said with a smile.
Her beautiful face is full of temptation, just like a beautiful snake who sets a deadly trap and uses herself as bait to lure foolish prey.
"Aren't you afraid that I will go wild with my bestiality?" Natsume stood in front of her.
"It's very common for boyfriends and girlfriends to get wild with animal instincts. I can't wait any longer." Yang Nai shyly covered her cheeks like a little girl.
But when she saw that Natsume was unmoved, her eyes, which had been full of spring, suddenly turned cold.
"Calm and boring man, are you really a high school student? Or is the soul in your body already a middle-aged man?"
Yang Nai trimmed her hair short, showing her true self for once.
"Actually, I have lived for more than a hundred years," said Natsume.
"Heh." Yang No was amused by his words and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. Finally, she leaned on Natsume's shoulder, whispered a few words to him, and left in a leisurely manner.
"No matter how long you live, if you dare to stand me up on the summer festival, age will be meaningless to you."
This counts as being threatened, which is a bit unlike what Yang No would do. According to her habit, shouldn't she seduce him by offering conditions that he can't refuse?
Natsume shook his head in discomfort, looked at her departing dark figure, and secretly evaluated the figure of this cheap girlfriend.
She has a slender waist and long legs. She subconsciously straightens her back when she walks, making her look particularly tall.
Because it was a dress, it was impossible to judge the specific condition of the hips, but for the front part, Natsume, who had just experienced it personally, would give full marks to the chest.
If you could touch it, it would feel absolutely amazing!
Watching her disappear around the corner with a smile on his face, Natsume slowly walked towards home.
Summer festival, summer festival, why does it start so early?
Natsume, who ate a lot but didn't drink much, went into a convenience store when he was near the community.
Looking at the familiar scene, Natsume was filled with emotion. Ever since he teamed up with Shiina, he seldom came here. Coming here again at this time, he felt like revisiting an old place.
He bought a bottle of water, paid at the counter, opened the lid and drank it in big gulps. The waiter was heating up his lunch box, which also had half a watermelon in it.
The bento was intended as a midnight snack, but I couldn't resist buying the watermelon because of its bright red color.
"Guest, your lunch box is ready."
After shaking the bottle and finding that there was not a drop left, Natsume lamented the price of the watermelon. If he didn't have a lot of spare money, he would definitely be heartbroken.
I was walking outside with two bags, ready to end this happy yet depressing day, when I heard the sound of a cat in front of a convenience store.
"Meow~"
If it weren't for the blond hair, he might have mistaken the figure crouching in front of the door for another cat lover.
"Shiina-san? Why are you here?"
Glancing at the distance between them, Natsume felt that it was unrealistic to pretend not to see her, so he walked up to her and half-knelt there.
She was stroking a black-haired stray cat, with some leftover food in her left hand.
"Meow!"
When the kitten noticed a stranger approaching, its voice became sharper, and when Shiina Mahiru saw Natsume, there was a hint of surprise and joy in her eyes.
"Is Natsume-san back?"
"Ah."
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening and there were not many people in front of the convenience store. Natsume found a place to sit on the steps and took out the watermelon from the bag.
The watermelon that had been cut into portions in advance was divided up, and not only Shiina Mahiru, even Koneko got a portion.
"Shiina-san likes cats?"
"It's just so-so. As long as it's not an animal I particularly hate, my attitude is pretty much the same." Shiina Mahiru stroked the kitten that was acting coquettishly to her.
"Is that so?" Natsume finished the melon rind in his hand and threw it into the trash can with a brilliant throwing motion.
"Three points!"
Seeing him yelling like a child, Shiina Mahiru was also infected and started laughing.
"Natsume-san looks like a little kid. Here you go." She took out a handkerchief and handed it to Natsume, pointing at her mouth, signaling him to wipe the marks clean.
"Can this be understood as a compliment? And I am indeed a child now."
They were joking around and cleaning up the traces of the watermelon. The stray cat disappeared into the night, leaving behind a half-eaten watermelon.
"Which one do you prefer, Natsume-san: being like a child mentally or being like a child physically?" Shiina Mahiru helped pick up the bento.
"Can't I have it when I need it?"
"Then you'll be a real kid, instead of pretending to be young like Natsume-san."
