Chapter 1292 Long Gui's Extra Concern
Long Gui can be said to be worried about his friend, but unfortunately, Zhiji actually doesn't know Su Xiu Yu.
After all, the contact between the two is indeed quite limited. When they were in Soul Society, they had the most contact time, but it was not too much. It was just that after Orihime came back from Soul Society, she couldn't let go of some things, and Orihime began to wonder if she was in unrequited love.
Until today, when she suddenly saw Su Xiu Yu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Orihime's heart seemed to start beating again.
In fact, the past six months have been the period of greatest change in Orihime's life over the past decade.
From an ordinary high school student to awakening Fullbring, and then traveling around Soul Society, it can be said that Orihime's life in the past ten years was not as exciting as this period. In particular, Orihime saw many things she had never seen before, which broadened her horizons.
"I don't know. I'm not very familiar with him..."
Orihime was telling the truth. According to the general concept of familiarity, Orihime and Su Xiuyu were not really familiar with each other. The two of them had basically learned some superficial things during their limited time together.
"Don't be embarrassed, Orihime! Tell me how you two met so I can give you some advice!" Long Gui thought Orihime was embarrassed to say it, but he didn't know that Orihime was not very familiar with Su Xiu Yu.
"Come with me, I have already booked a restaurant."
Su Xiu Yu chose a mid-range restaurant. Originally, he wanted to form a team, so he couldn't just pick a random place. But if the restaurant was too high-end, the two high school girls might feel uncomfortable and even suspect that Su Xiu Yu had other intentions.
After the three of them sat down, they noticed that this was a Chinese restaurant, and Su Xiuyu had not reminded them before. Long Gui immediately labeled Su Xiuyu as a male chauvinist, but there was another voice in his heart trying to persuade him -
It’s not unacceptable for such a handsome man to be a little chauvinistic. He then glanced at Orihime, but she had already started ordering food.
"Actually, you don't have to go through the trouble of ordering. I've already ordered more than a hundred dishes in total. It's mainly for tasting, and you don't have to worry about wasting food."
Although Su Xiu Yu decided on the lunch himself, he ordered a few more dishes to show his support for the clan.
"More than a hundred dishes? Your wallet?" However, Long Gui quickly realized that this question was not appropriate to ask at this time. The level of familiarity was originally general, so it would be better not to ask too much when it came to the other party's income.
However, Long Gui could roughly guess that Su Xiu Yu's family should be of good financial background, but he did not have the style of an "upper class person". Of course, Long Gui himself had actually met some upper class people.
Of course, Su Xiu Yu noticed that Long Gui was staring at him while he was eating. He didn't know why he kept looking at him with his eyes squinting. You have to know that Su Xiu Yu and Long Gui had absolutely no in-depth contact before.
Helpless Su Xiu Yu had to use his ability to take a peek into Long Gui's thoughts. It turned out that Long Gui was playing the role of a flower-guarding messenger this time, and he immediately felt no pressure at all.
"Orihime, there is something I want to tell you in private. Can we discuss it after Longgui leaves?" During the meal, Su Xiuyu directly communicated with Orihime using his mental power. Fortunately, Orihime nodded and did not refuse.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Longgui stood up, smiled and extended his hand to Orihime, motioning her to leave with him.
However, Orihime sat motionless in her seat, her eyes flickering, and she was obviously unwilling to follow Ryuki.
"Orihime, it's getting late. If we don't leave now, we will miss the last train!" Longgui urged anxiously, gently patting Orihime's shoulder.
At this moment, Su Xiuyu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Don't worry, Brother Longgui, I will personally take Zhiji home later."
He had a gentle and confident smile on his face, as if this was just a trivial matter to him.
Hearing Su Xiuyu's words, Long Gui couldn't help but frowned and turned to look at Zhiji. Zhiji lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed, but she didn't show any objection.
Seeing this, Long Gui's heart tightened, and he quickly walked to Zhiji's side, leaned close to her ear, and warned in a low voice:
"Hey, Orihime, you have to think carefully! If you choose to stay here, you may not be able to go home tonight. And you should also understand that accepting a boy's invitation at this time has special meanings in some cases!"
Long Gui is well aware that among the many unspoken rules in today's society, when a girl agrees to a boy's invitation, it is often regarded as her having a certain affection for the other party.
To some extent, this can even be seen as a tacit consent to further develop the relationship between the two parties.
Although he and Orihime are like sisters, he cannot interfere too much in her personal life and emotional choices, so all he can do is kindly remind this simple and kind friend.
If Orihime is truly prepared, then Ryuki has nothing to say.
"Long Gui, you go back first. I'll go back later." Orihime's train of thought was also very simple. First of all, Su Xiu Yu was the captain of the 5th Division. A captain-level person didn't need to use such a tactful way to harm himself, because it would be much easier for Su Xiu Yu to directly kidnap Orihime.
That's why Orihime believed in Su Xiu Yu, and she had a good impression of him when she was in Soul Society.
Seeing that Orihime did not raise any objections, Longgui smiled and waved to the two of them, then turned and left, and his figure quickly disappeared at the door.
However, less than a minute later, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar, and then Long Gui's slightly embarrassed figure appeared in the room again.
At this moment, she was breathing heavily, with beads of sweat on her forehead, and one hand tightly holding something.
"Orihime, I just went out to buy this for you!" Long Gui said as he handed the thing he was holding to Orihime. She opened her palm slightly, revealing a small and exquisite box.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a box of beautifully packaged snacks. "Don't go hungry, and... this is for you, too, just in case!"
After that, Ryuki quickly and naturally pulled out another object from his pocket, and then placed it in Orihime's palm in a casual manner.
