He unconsciously glanced at Shifang Diezi sitting to his left. The girl was eating ramen in small bites, her face flushed as if from the steam of the broth.
"With Kitahara's style, Choko should keep her distance from him..."
Sato Kaoru made a decision in her heart.
"Finished arguing? I treated you."
Chef Fujii chuckled and used the large soup ladle to add a small portion of char siu to each of the three girls, then said to Hoshizuki Kaede:
"Young couples, it's normal to quarrel. If you ask me, Hoshizuki is so beautiful, how can Kitahara have eyes for other girls?"
Then, glancing at Kitahara Sousuke sitting on the other side, he continued, "I'm an older man, and I've seen far more people than you. Whether a boy likes a girl or not, it can't be hidden in his eyes; I can tell at a glance."
"Thank you, Master Fujii. Besides, I'm not his girlfriend."
Hoshizuki Kaede pouted, recalling how Kitahara Sosuke had looked at her when he held her hand earlier...
Hmph, I'll let him go today.
Inside the food cart, only the sounds of five people, each lost in their own thoughts, eating ramen remained.
Chapter 80: There are quite a few testimonies to work out lately.
"Ah, I'm so full, I can't eat anymore..."
Xingyueling let out a satisfied burp, clutching her round little belly. Forget girlfriends, those chaotic love triangles; nothing beats a full stomach.
Looking around with her head swaying, Xingyue Ling picked up the few remaining slices of char siu from the bottom of her bowl, and placed them in Kitahara Sōsuke's bowl, bypassing Xingyue Feng, Shifang Chouzi, and Satō Kaoru who were in the way.
"Sou-suke needs to get better soon."
"Starry Moon Bell said."
"Well, actually I should be able to go to school tomorrow."
Kitahara Sosuke habitually pulled out a tissue and wiped the girl's oily mouth clean.
"So, does Sosuke want to have lunch together tomorrow? I'll have Kaede make some delicious tempura."
Why is it assumed that I'll be making the bento boxes tomorrow?
Xingyuefeng put down her chopsticks with a grumble.
"I have to do chores tomorrow."
Ling said confidently.
"I'm really looking forward to Feng's cooking, since the dishes he made before were delicious."
Kitahara Sosuke recalled the first day of school when he exchanged lunches with Kaede and Rin; the girls' cooking skills were indeed excellent.
"Yes, I made it."
Ling nodded, looking like she wanted to praise me more.
Xingyue Feng's face had completely darkened. The simulation of love with Sifang Diezi didn't matter anymore; the person most likely to steal his home was right beside him.
"Um, Master Fujii... the bill."
Kitahara Sosuke awkwardly spoke up and slipped away, seemingly thinking that Kaede was in a bad mood today.
"See you tomorrow, Yoshikata-kun and Sato-senpai."
The three of them got up to pay the bill, and then said goodbye to the square plate and Sato Kaoru, who had not yet finished eating.
See you tomorrow! ×2
As I walked out of the alley where Master Fujii's trolley was located, it was already completely dark. Occasionally, the sound of a dog barking could be heard from the distance. Apart from that, there were only the occasional figures of office workers returning home after working overtime until late at night.
"Shall I take you two back?"
Kitahara Sosuke looked up at the sky and saw only twinkling stars. It was already quite late, and he was a little worried about letting the two beautiful girls go back alone, as it was a bit far from their home.
"I'll just take a taxi back with Rin." Hoshizuki Kaede waved her hand, indicating that Kitahara Sousuke didn't need to see her off. "The patient should just go back to her room and get some sleep."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Ling nodded in agreement.
"Okay, remember to text me when you get home."
Kitahara Sōsuke escorted the two sisters to the main road, then helped Hoshizuki Kaede and Hoshizuki Ii hail a taxi, put the two girls in the back seat, and gave them some words of advice through the window.
"Okay, I know. You're nagging like an old woman."
Xingyuefeng impatiently raised the window.
As the taxi's taillights disappeared into the distance, Kitahara Sousuke stretched and prepared to return to the hospital when the screen in his hand suddenly lit up.
Kitahara Sosuke opened Line, and the avatar representing Yoko Yoko was flashing anxiously.
Four-Sided Butterfly: "Where is he?"
Kitahara Sousuke raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
Sifang Diezi: "Brother, you've put me on the carriage. I had the driver go around in circles and then come back. Come here quickly."
As she spoke, Yomo Choko initiated a location sharing with Kitahara Sousuke, showing a Starbucks not far away.
After walking for about ten minutes, Kitahara Sousuke found the 24-hour café and saw Yoshika Choko's conspicuous figure among the few customers through the glass.
"Why did you call me out so late instead of going home obediently?"
Kitahara Sosuke sat opposite Yoko and asked helplessly.
"Hmph, tell me why?" Sifang Diezi looked at the other person anxiously. "What did you say to Feng? Why did she keep staring at me with strange eyes during the second half of the meal?"
"Well..." Kitahara Sosuke smiled and calmed the girl down, then repeated what he had said earlier to Yomo Choko verbatim.
"Who said we're a couple? I wouldn't just find someone to play the role of a prince for something like this."
After hearing the whole story, Shifang Diezi said unhappily, "But this guy is really good at making up stories. I wonder how many girls he has fooled."
Someone like the prince couldn't possibly come up with such a convoluted story in a short period of time.
"I can't help it, Senior Sato never considers the occasion when he speaks."
"You are not allowed to speak ill of the prince!"
Sifang Diezi took a big gulp of the milk tea in her cup, then said somewhat dejectedly:
"There's nothing I can do, that's just my personality, so he doesn't have many friends in class."
"Be careful not to gain weight from drinking milk tea at night!" Kitahara Sosuke snatched the milk tea from the girl's hand and took a sip under Yomo Choko's surprised gaze. "Remember to agree on the time and plot with me, so you don't get it wrong when Kaede asks later."
"Hmph, it's time for Feng to see through your true colors as a scumbag sooner rather than later."
Yoko glared at him resentfully. How could this guy be so shameless? How could he use his own straw directly? Wasn't that an indirect kiss?
But thinking back to the photos we exchanged before, and the times I generated my own... it doesn't seem like such a big deal?
"Oh? What did you say? Soybean paste?"
Kitahara Sousuke raised his voice slightly.
"Don't mention that name!"
Shifang Diezi hurriedly covered the other person's mouth, glancing around in a panic. Fortunately, there weren't many people in the coffee shop at this time.
"Speaking of which, why don't we actually give it a try?"
Kitahara Sousuke suggested.
"What to try?"
Yoko wiped her palms with a tissue, annoyed. That guy had just used his tongue…
"How about a simulation strategy? I'll be Sato-senpai, why don't you try it out? I have some experience with dealing with the 'introverted' and 'inferiority complex' characters, maybe I can help you broaden your thinking?"
"Who wants you..." Sifang Diezi subconsciously prepared to refuse, but then she thought, it might work? If she really waited for the prince to speak up, who knows when that would take.
Year after year, every time she expressed her feelings to her brother, he would always say, "Chocolate, wait for me a little longer." Whether it was getting into Tokyo University or finding a decent job, what kind of achievement would give her brother the courage to face everyone?
It's better to figure out a way to take him down directly!
"It seems...we could give it a try?"
"No, that's not right!"
Sifang Diezi immediately came to her senses. Why did she have to find someone to impersonate the prince? She could have just found the prince himself. Honestly, she almost fell for his trick again.
"Forget about the simulation, just tell me when you have time why you guys who do 'inner corners' have no interest in cute girls even when they're practically glued to your faces."
"Okay."
Kitahara Sosuke shook his head regretfully.
Chapter 81 The Confusion of the Four-Sided Butterfly
"We're back..."
Yoko wearily unlocked her apartment door, knowing full well that no one would answer, but she still habitually called out into the empty living room.
Even though she ran away from home, the girl's savings and other sources of income still allowed her to afford to rent such a high-end studio apartment.
She turned on the TV on the living room wall and randomly tuned to a variety show channel that seemed funny. She didn't actually want to watch anything; she just wanted some noise in the house besides herself.
The girl kicked off her slippers. Since she lived alone, she didn't need to care too much about her appearance. So she took off her pants as well, leaving herself only in two striped over-the-knee socks, and lay on the sofa scrolling through her phone.
The girl rubbed her close-fitting tank top against the sofa, secretly rolling it up above her waist, revealing her cute belly button and large expanses of white skin at the cuffs, but unfortunately, no one could see it.
She lived alone in the apartment. Her brother would occasionally come to visit her, but staying overnight was out of the question. He was as rigid as an ox, and he rarely came. Only on those occasions would Sifang Diezi tidy up the apartment properly.
Otherwise, he'll just be this lazy, unassuming person after taking off his social mask.
Actually, it's mostly Choko who goes to visit Sato Kaoru, but lately the frequency has decreased. Her brother always says he's busy studying and wants to take the Tokyo University entrance exam, and even the number of times they contact each other on their phones has visibly decreased.
Diezi puffed out her pink cheeks slightly and sent her brother a message saying that she had arrived home safely. She didn't lie; according to the time she and Sato Kaoru parted ways, she should have sent the message an hour earlier.
Yomo Choko deliberately sent a message to her brother to let him know she was safe only after she had broken up with Kitahara Sosuke. Why? She probably hoped that her brother would take the time to ask her why she was home so late.
After waiting and waiting, the message was marked as read, so Sato Kaoru must have seen it.
