Not long after, smoke rose from the stove next door.
Here, Dr. Ali has grilled the second round of meat skewers.
Ye Gengyi picked up a bunch and occasionally used his peripheral vision to observe the couple in the distance.
After seeing that the couple stopped arguing and started to set up a tent together, he still felt that the situation was a little inappropriate.
The argument was over...it didn't look like it was just an act.
But what happened to the woman's adverse reaction just now?
The phrase "She's here again" that Konno Otakuji blurted out... meant that this situation had happened more than once. Was it anorexia? Allergic to meat?
In this case, why go out camping...
Ye Gengyi briefly listed the doubts about the two of them before finishing the skewer of mutton in his hand.
Konno Junka walked towards this side again.
Her face still looked pale: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone."
After saying that, she bowed apologetically, then looked at Dr. Ali and Ye Gengyi, and said, "If you can, just take it as an expression of gratitude. Do you want to come to my house for dinner tomorrow?"
"Eh?"
Dr. A Li was startled: "It's just some rice, no need to be so polite..."
He really didn't care. After all, looking at the whole of Tokyo, no one could do such a thing as casually picking up 'cadres of a certain organization' and 'traitors of a certain organization' and take them home.
"Is that so..." Konno Junka wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Konno Otakuji who followed him:
"Okay Junxia, you go to the tent and rest for a while."
"But didn't you just say...that you would invite them to your home for dinner?"
"So, it's the same if I come to invite you." Konno Takuji said in a gentle tone, "You look really ugly right now, so you should take a good rest first."
Konno Junka opened her mouth, but finally said nothing. She smiled at a few people, turned around and walked back to the tent.
After watching his wife go back, Konno Houseji apologized: "I'm sorry, Junxia has such a straightforward personality..."
In one sentence, Dr. Agasa couldn't say anything to refuse him. Otherwise, wouldn't it be equivalent to still caring about Konno Junka's behavior just now?
Konno Otakuji extended the invitation again: "It's really helpful to lend us rice. Otherwise, Junxia and I would have ended the camping in a hurry. Even if we went home, we would have been arguing for a long time. It would have been too much for us. To express your gratitude, if you can, come to my house for barbecue at noon tomorrow and taste our craftsmanship."
"Since you said so..." Dr. A Li looked at everyone hesitantly.
Ye Gengyi had no reaction.
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta cheered, shouting: "Long live barbecue, barbecue, barbecue."
"Then we'll bother you tomorrow." Dr. Ali agreed with a smile.
"What's the trouble? Just come." Konno Takumi took out his cell phone and exchanged contact information with Dr. Agasa.
The two chatted for a few more words, and the good old Dr. Ari frequently looked at the tent opposite: "Um... Mr. House Secretary, is Miss Junxia's health okay?"
"She's just having a tantrum."
Konno Otakuji said: "We planned to travel to Izu some time ago, but it was temporarily canceled due to entertainment, so she has not been very happy these days."
Dr. A Li hesitated for a moment: "In this case... you should stay with her for a while. We will stay here tonight. If you need anything, just come over if you don't mind."
"Okay, okay, I'll send you the address later. Then I'll go back first..."
Konno Otakuji laughed heartily a few times, and his eyes swept over the children who were eating happily next to him one by one. When he and Ye Geng looked at each other, he was immediately fascinated by the pair of pupils that were so deep that they seemed to be unable to see the bottom. A bit cold.
His smile was a little stiff.
Ye Gengyi didn't say anything. He glanced at the other person lightly and then looked away.
Konno Otakuji felt a little guilty, but on second thought, he felt that this young man in black clothes might just simply not like to laugh.
"Doctor, we've finished eating..."
Yuantai's voice reached his ears.
Dr. Agasa looked away at Konno Takuji and found that the three children were all looking at the raw meat skewers next to them.
"You have to eat vegetables too!"
He smiled, grabbed a few more bunches and put them on the stove, as if he was afraid of starving the children.
Ye Gengyi didn't eat much and returned to the tent early to rest.
When Haihara Ai sneaked over, she found that Professor Ye was playing with a portable electric coffee pot.
She was startled and asked strangely:
"This... requires at least 1,000 watts of power. Where does the electricity come from?"
"Car." Ye Gengyi pointed to the connecting cable extending from the outside of the tent and said, "I have modified it, so it won't lose power after making a few pots of coffee."
"..."
Hui Yuan Ai was speechless: "It's just boiling water. It's the same with charcoal fire."
"I didn't bring too much. If someone comes to borrow it, I have to give the doctor some face." Ye Gengyi said, picking up two cups from one side, and after thinking about it, he put down another one:
"You go outside and drink juice."
Hey, hey... Haiyuan Ai was ashamed and complained: "I thought you were talking about the quarreling couple."
Ye Geng looked over, wondering if he was teasing, and asked, "When did you become so concerned about other people's private lives?"
I can't hide it from you... Hui Yuan Ai lowered his voice:
"I'm a little concerned, but it was indeed Edogawa who asked me to come here and ask. He said... When Mr. Otaku invited us to his house for dinner, you didn't express your opinion. Did you see something when you went there before?"
"No."
Ye Gengyi poured a cup of coffee, brought it to his mouth and blew it a few times. The rising heat cast a veil over the expression in his pupils:
"However, that man does have some problems..."
When Konno Otakuji came over to invite everyone to his house for dinner, Ye Gengyi could feel the entanglement in the other person's emotions that were almost overflowing without putting pressure on his nerves.
It's just...the content of the tangle is still unknown.
He gave no reason.
It took Haiyuan Ai, who was still waiting for the next step, several minutes to react: "...That's all?"
"Yeah." Ye Gengyi nodded slightly.
"..."
Haihara Ai was also confused: "So... you don't want to tell me what the 'problem' is?"
"Maybe... he doesn't plan to invite us to his house for dinner?" Ye Gengyi said as if he was talking nonsense.
Hearing this, Haiyuan Ai stared at someone's face for a moment. Unfortunately, he could not see any 'emotions written on his face'. In the end, he had no choice but to turn around and walk out of the tent:
"...I'm going to drink juice."
