I have bound two systems.

"Then you'd better get used to it as soon as possible. After all, I have already considered Qianli, and... you, as my family."

Ying Lili finally blushed and lowered her head to slowly peel potatoes.

Kasumigaoka shuddered and looked at the people around him with an absolutely incredible look.

"So nasty... That's why I told you, don't just stuff your mouth with anything you pick up on the street. Getting an upset stomach is a minor matter, but if you get an upset brain, there's no cure."

"You guy, I really can't give you a good face!"

"Ah, back to normal."

"Humph! You're such a speechless fellow! There's no way I can have a heart-to-heart with someone like you!"

"..."

The two people in the kitchen were bickering with each other with varying expressions.

In the living room outside the kitchen, Mrs. Sawamura was observing their way of getting along with great care. It seemed very natural and...intimate.

Although she tried her best not to think in that direction, but recently, judging from the fact that Eriri often stayed overnight at Shiyu's house, could it be that the two of them...

No, no, no, that shouldn't be the case. The two of them should just have a good relationship, not to that extent.

After all, the video of her daughter having a erotic dream is still in her mobile phone. That posture is obviously only suitable between men and women.

If two girls do it, it won't look like that at all.

------

There were some accidents in the Starry Exhibition Hall tonight.

It was a little after seven o'clock, and the store was just becoming lively as customers started to arrive. Suddenly, all the lights in the store went out, and the rhythmic music disappeared instantly.

The huge exhibition hall was lit up with white backup lights, and the escape signs that were usually ignored became prominent at this moment.

The customers were noisy and at a loss as to what to do, as the store manager was not in the store at that moment. In the end, it was Chisato Suzumiya who first found the cause of the power outage in the store. It seemed that a wire in the power box was aging and short-circuited.

He knew nothing about power supply, and if the problem could not be solved immediately, he could only refund the tickets for the impatient guests.

After the clearing work was completed, Ijichi Xingge rushed to the store and called the electrician, but the electrician would not arrive for another two hours.

Now, we can't open tonight at all.

However, Ijichi Xingge was open-minded. Thinking that he had not had a proper rest for such a long time, he closed the store and took everyone in the store to a barbecue restaurant for a party.

"It's my treat today, so you all should eat more. You've worked hard all this time, and please take care of me in the future."

After clinking their beer glasses together, Ichichi Xingge drank the beer heartily.

"Hey, Xingge."

The dashing woman with long black hair heard the familiar voice and walked back when she passed by the box.

"Ah, Jing."

…………

Chapter 287: Luck is a bit bad

"I really didn't expect this. This is really a coincidence."

Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and raised her hand to greet.

"really."

Ijichi Xingge was quite surprised that she could meet her old friend here.

But on second thought, this barbecue restaurant was a place they had visited many times when they were students, and Jing was a meat lover like herself, so it didn't seem strange.

"We finally met, do you want to come together?"

Yidizhi Xingge took the initiative to invite them. The two of them hadn't gotten together for a while. Besides, everyone here was employees of the store, so they were not strangers to each other and there would be no awkwardness in fitting in.

"Ah, forget it today. I have an appointment with a friend."

"That's it."

"Well, let's meet again when we have the chance. Bye."

"Well, see you later."

Shizuka Hiratsuka did not stay at the door of the private room for long. After a brief chat, she waved goodbye.

She was led by the waiter to sit in another private room. More than 20 minutes later, the person she was waiting for finally arrived.

"Sorry, Xiaojing, it took a while to wait for the train."

Yukinoshita Haruno put her backpack aside, picked up the menu on the table and opened it to take a look.

"Where's your car?"

"No, I just want to relax for the first time today. I'll trouble you to take me back later."

"Hey, it's troublesome. You live so far away from here."

Shizuka Hiratsuka was somewhat reluctant, so she sent the other person home and then drove back herself. Considering that there were so many traffic lights on the road, it would take at least an hour to go there and back.

"It's okay. I don't plan to go back today. Just drop me off at Yukino's place on the way back. It'll be convenient for you to go back, right?"

"That's no problem."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in acceptance.

Yukinoshita Haruno flipped through the menu and pouted in dissatisfaction.

“Why is this restaurant basically all meat?”

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at her speechlessly.

"Miss, do you want to see what kind of store this is?"

"Of course I know, but before I came here I thought that even if it was a barbecue restaurant, there would at least be sashimi and other dishes. The variety of dishes is still too limited."

"If you don't like barbecue, just order some fried food or grilled bird skewers. It's better to eat less raw seafood recently. That incident has made a lot of noise recently. Who knows where the seafood is produced."

"I didn't expect Xiaojing to care about politics."

"Such a big thing, whether it is print media or the Internet, it is overwhelmingly publicized. As a modern person, it would be strange if I didn't know about it."

Hiratsuka Shizuka lit a cigarette.

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled, called the waiter, and finally ordered a standard barbecue set meal for two people, and added two large glasses of beer.

"...That's it for now. If it's not enough, order more later."

"I do not drink."

"I didn't tell you to drink. I ordered it for myself. I'll have two cups. You can just drink the juice drink that comes with the meal. It's all yours."

"...I won't care if you get drunk."

"I can't drink that badly."

Ten minutes later, most of the ordered dishes had been served, and the barbecue grill was filled with red-hot charcoal.

Considering that Shizuka Hiratsuka would go to the barbecue restaurant in the evening, she had just eaten a 200 yuan red bean bread and boiled water at school at noon. She was already very hungry. After the barbecue was served, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and put the fattest beef slices on the grill. Soon the fat was roasted out by the high temperature, and the aroma of meat wafted out with a sizzling sound.

"Wow~ The quality of the meat in this restaurant is still as good as always. It looks delicious at first glance."

Yukinoshita Haruno took a sip of beer and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was full of expectation like a child. She forgot the troubles in her heart for the moment and smiled happily.

She is an extrovert and is excellent in all aspects of her interpersonal relationships. She has many friends around her, but only with Shizuka Hiratsuka, her teacher who once taught her about study and life concepts and is now her friend, can she show her true side without any worries.

"By the way, how has Yukino been doing in school lately?"

“Hiss—Hoo, hum…”

After blowing on the grilled meat, she chewed it and swallowed it thoroughly before answering.

"Nothing has changed since before. I don't see any new friends around her. She is still alone as always. During lunch break and after school, she goes to the service club she founded to read books to kill time."

“It’s still like this.”

"But if you insist, there have been some changes. Some people have joined her club."

"I know. You told me before that it was a girl named Yuigahama Yui."

"You remember it very clearly, but it wasn't her. It was another first-year girl named Isshiki Iroha."

"Eh~ Was she attracted by Yukino's personality charm?"

"I'm not sure. Previously, a commission regarding that child was given to Yukino, and then the two of them became familiar with each other very quickly. Some time ago, the three of them went to the aquarium together and had a lot of fun. They bought a lot of dolls related to marine life."

"Xue-no-chan, did I tell you all this?"

"How could that be? Yuigahama told me and showed me the photos they took together on that day."

"I'll just say it."

Yukinoshita Haruno knows her sister's personality. She will never mention her own affairs to others unless it is necessary, and will take the initiative to hide her inner thoughts. This seems to be a sign of strength to her, but in reality, it is probably a habit left over from being bullied by people around her in elementary school.

So many years have passed since the incident, and although Yukino did not become discouraged or frustrated and went astray, but instead became more independent and strong, every time she thinks back on it, she still feels a little guilty for not fulfilling her responsibility to protect her sister.

Not much time had passed since the two met, and Yukinoshita Haruno drank the entire glass of beer.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you today? This kind of hearty drinking is not your style."

Shizuka Hiratsuka finally realized something was wrong and put down her chopsticks worriedly.

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and waved her hand.

"It's not a big deal."

Hiratsuka Shizuka guessed,

"Did your mother introduce you to another blind date?"

"That would be great if that were the case. I can just waste some time and make myself look a little annoying so that the problem can be solved perfectly."

"What on earth is that?"

"Well... a secret~"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was somewhat dissatisfied.

"I'm talking to you. You're hiding this from me too."

"It's just that there was some problem with the family business. It won't affect anything if you tell me about it. Don't let it affect your mood tonight."

Hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka fell silent.

That's indeed the case. If Yukinoshita Haruno was just short of money, she would have some personal savings to help. But when it comes to her family's business, that is beyond her ability to lend a helping hand. It's not that she doesn't want to help, but that she can't. If she throws her little savings into Yukinoshita's family business, it's estimated that not even a splash will be made.

"The recent economic situation is indeed a bit bad, but it should gradually get better."

"I hope so."

Yukinoshita Haruno picked up the second beer without holding much hope.

------

At the party tonight, Yamada Ryo became the focus of attention with his absolute charm.

The eating posture, which was like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food, really opened the eyes of Yijizhi Xingge.

Later, when she was paying the bill, she looked at the amount that was far beyond her expectations and raised her forehead slightly. She secretly decided that if there was another dinner party and Yamada Ryo was there, she would just go for the buffet.

In the bathroom of the store, after a loud flushing sound, Suzumiya Chisato came out very naturally, covering her red face with her hands, and met with others at the store door.

As a member of society, since Ichichi Xingge organized a party, it is natural that he would not simply disperse after the meal. He must have plans for a second party.

"We're going to go to karaoke later and maybe have some drinks, so you high school students should just go back."

Chisato Suzumiya and the others who ended the band were told this.

They didn't have any objections, they were already satisfied to have a free dinner.

"Tomorrow is Saturday and we don't have to go to school. Considering that the music festival is getting closer, let's stay at Hong Xia's house tonight as usual. Go to bed early and get enough rest to practice all day tomorrow."

Yamada Ryo told them his planned arrangements and secretly winked at Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo.

The two of them nodded in agreement hurriedly.

Ichichi Hongxia was a little confused.

"You're so eager to practice. This doesn't sound like something you would say, Ryo."

"Occasionally I want to make some progress!"
