Kuriyama Mai looked at the girl's pure smile, and then glanced around. With him as the center, no other classmates dared to come close at least within a radius of ten meters.
He said slightly worriedly:
"If you get too close to me, other classmates may isolate you. If Asaka-san minds..."
"No!" Yui Asaka interrupted him very seriously, "Senior and I are friends, aren't we?"
friend?
Kuriyama Mai sighed. Her background as a girl made it difficult for her to make friends in this school.
If she wants to get in touch with herself again, I'm afraid there will be more and more girls like the ones who just laughed at her.
But from the strong determination shown in her eyes, Kuriyama Mai suddenly felt that she was worrying too much. This was not her main contradiction at all!
So he squinted his eyes and nodded affirmatively towards Asaka Yui.
"Then let's start at noon tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay~" Asaka Yui gently pursed her lower lip, "I can take the seniors to a 'secret base' for lunch~"
There was a sense of mystery in her tone, the girl's secret base? Kuriyama Mai curiously approached her and joked with a smile:
"Asianxiang, you are not from an alien planet, are you? Is the secret base built three thousand meters underground?"
"Hmm~ No, it's not as magical as the senior said, it's just..." The girl raised her little hands and waved them in panic in front of her mouth, "I hope senior can like that place too..."
Her voice became weaker and weaker, but her eyes swayed between his shoulders and collarbone.
"I'm looking forward to it~" Kuriyama Mai smiled, "Also, I'll pay you the food expenses in advance, you see..."
"Ah?" Asaka Yui's heart suddenly trembled, an embarrassed smile appeared on her face, and her delicate shoulders could not help shaking.
Kuriyama Mai pointed at the two barbecue set meals that had been cleared in front of him, and rubbed the back of his head with an embarrassed look, "I eat too much, otherwise I will cause trouble for you. No, I have already caused a lot of trouble. ”
After saying that, Kuriyama Mai smiled honestly at her, took out three 10,000 yen notes from his bag and pushed them in front of her from the table.
"This is my month's lunch lunch material fee. I'll leave it to you for lunch lunches from now on."
"I'm a senior, but I don't have one. It's because I received too much help from my seniors, and I feel a little sorry."
"It's good that I can do this little thing by myself."
Asaka Yui seemed to be trying her best to hide the emotion behind her voice. She pinched the hem of her skirt uneasily with one hand, but pushed the money back resolutely with the other hand.
Kuriyama Mai felt this intensity, and it was definitely not the kind of rejection he would receive when he was a child, and he refused to accept the red envelope.
He kept muttering in his heart, if he had asked her directly why she was so frugal before, he might have just said 'No problem, please don't worry, senior' and he would have been blocked.
"Well, I'll have to let you spend the money. I really eat a lot~"
Kuriyama Mai reluctantly took back the banknotes, shrugged his shoulders, picked up his phone, unlocked it, turned off the screen, turned off the screen, and then unlocked it.
Asaka Yui breathed a sigh of relief. If she continued to accept his kindness, it would be harder to get along with him as an equal.
She knew that the senior said that to make her accept it better, but because of this, she wanted to be friends with the senior who communicated on an equal footing, rather than a flower that needed to be cared for by him.
"That's right!" Kuriyama Mai saw a message popping up on his phone and said suddenly, "I found a suitable buyer for the limited edition doll you bought that morning~ It can probably be sold for 670,000 yen. "
"So much!" Yui Asaka, who had just swallowed the last bite of rice with miso soup, looked at him with wide eyes.
Looking at her little mouth that was slightly open in surprise, Kuriyama Mai felt so cute that she couldn't help but pick up a piece of barbecue and put it into her mouth.
"Be good~ You have one piece, and I have one piece. If you don't eat the barbecue, it will spoil~"
Kuriyama Mai stared into the girl's sparkling eyes with a smile on her face.
"?" Before her slightly open mouth could refuse, the roast meat was already delivered along her wet lips. After chewing twice, an innocent smile appeared on her face.
"tasty!"
The girl gently swallowed the roasted meat covered in honey sauce, and then realized that the senior's gentle gaze had almost touched the tip of her eyebrows.
"Swish", her little face was already full of crimson.
[Heartbeat value +80 points]
[Your heartbeat balance is 938 points]
Sure enough, unexpected teasing will make people's hearts move more easily.
"Asaka, you are the cutest one~ You are much better than me."
Kuriyama Mai casually picked up another piece of leftover barbecue and put it into his mouth, "In the future, our lunch boxes will be as clean as today."
Asaka Yui looked at him briefly for two seconds, then quickly looked away. Sure enough, she still didn't have the courage to look at the senior?
Seeing that the girl was really shy and her hands were intertwined unnaturally, Kuriyama Mai quickly changed the subject.
"Quan Neon is limited to 120 copies, so the second-hand price is normal."
"Is...is that so?" Yui Asaka responded nervously, "Thank you so much, senior~"
"It's okay. After all, I can earn 10% commission, and this is also the remuneration you should share after we cooperate."
Kuriyama Mai gently waved his hand and said casually, "Of course, there is also the investment and gambling agreement mentioned last night. If Asaka, you have confidence in yourself, you can come to me at any time."
Although he didn't know what difficulties she encountered, Kuriyama Mai just wanted to help. After all, this was the greatest meaning of his existence after rebirth.
For a moment, Asaka Yui's eyes seemed to sparkle, and she felt a little dizzy, as if she was filled with something called 'happiness'.
I haven’t felt this way for a long time...
From the moment she met him last night, she felt that it was too good to be true.
Mingming thought he was a bad stalker at first, but now he was like a ray of light shining into her mired life.
Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes involuntarily. She quickly ran her hands through her hair to cover it up, lightly shook her head, and pretended to be strong and said:
"No need for the time being, senior. If there is a cold contract agreement between friends, the friendship will change."
She hoped that this relationship could be more pure and that the senior would not just pity her.
Looking at her mysterious face about to cry, Kuriyama Mai showed an appreciative smile. This girl was far stronger than he imagined.
Well, we can only do it slowly. Kuriyama Mai took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.
"Okay then, let's go back to the classroom together. After the buyer is confirmed, we will hand over the money and deliver the goods."
"Let's go~"
The girl's eyes lit up, and the blush on her cheeks hadn't faded yet.
Just as the two stood up to clear the plates together, there was a sudden commotion outside the cafeteria.
But Kuriyama Mai, who was thinking carefully about the story behind the girl, didn't pay much attention and just quietly cleared the table.
Asaka Yui, who had already packed up, looked up and immediately showed a panicked look.
"Senior, be careful!"
"Huh?" Kuriyama Mai looked at her in surprise.
But before he could wait for the answer, the girl in front of him stretched out his hands and shoved him aside as if she had used all her strength.
Faced with the girl's sudden force, he was unprepared, staggered, and took a step back to the dining table.
But in this flash of lightning, a white porcelain plate flew past his ear, but Asaka Yui, who stayed in place and tried her best to help him, had no time to dodge.
With a "click" sound, the white porcelain plate hit her elbow and shattered to pieces.
Kuriyama Mai was secretly frightened. If Xiao Wei hadn't pulled him aside in time, the white porcelain plate would have hit the back of his head.
He was just about to step forward to see how the injury was, but Asaka Yui moved her arms a few times with a calm expression, indicating that she was fine.
But she pointed behind Kuriyama Mai with a solemn expression.
As soon as he turned his head, a familiar voice came over.
"Hey, you were still going to school with Haruhi in the morning, and now you're hooking up with your schoolmate again during lunch? You're so lucky with women."
Kunio Inoue, with bruises on his face, stood at the door of the cafeteria, staring at him fiercely, and deliberately speaking in a funny tone.
"Asshole! You can't beat me head-on, now you're trying to sneak attack?"
Kuriyama Mai clenched his fists angrily.
But when he looked carefully, he saw that the menacing Kunio Inoue was followed by more than twenty people. The one closest to him was Takaki, whom he had just met! Was this guy the one who tipped off the news?
"Kuriyama-kun, I really envy you~" Kunio Inoue, who was holding his hands, his face darkened, "Young girls are so devoted to you when you first come here, but I'm sorry..."
井上邦雄嘴角发出一阵'桀桀桀'的冷笑,“那就在爱你的女人面前,把你揍得像狗一样狼狈吧。”
"Do it!"
More than twenty senior students rushed towards Kuriyama Mai like a tide.
Behind him, the back door of the canteen was firmly locked with a thick iron chain.
