Chapter 190 Couples Restaurant
When I came out of the police station, the night had already enveloped the entire city of Tokyo. The roads were crowded with cars and people. The lights in the commercial district were colorful, and the eyes of passers-by were flashing.
To Shinichi's surprise, the person who picked him up was not his sister, but Kaoru Kiba, who was wearing sunglasses.
"Why are you here?" asked Kaoru Kiba, who was sitting in the Ferrari wearing sunglasses.
"Why can't it be me? Don't you feel worried about leaving your sister alone outside the police station? It's better to let adults handle adult matters." Kiba Kaoru said with a smile.
Then she pushed open the car door and said, "Okay. Stop standing there and get in the car."
Shinichi didn't hesitate and sat in the passenger seat of Kiba Kaoru.
"Did those police officers give you any trouble?"
"No, where is it? Are they in trouble?"
"That's fine. I was still thinking about whether I should get you out of jail."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't always think so bad of me. I'm a good citizen who abides by the law."
"You? Law-abiding?"
Kiba laughed as if he had heard a joke.
Shinichi leaned on the passenger seat and scratched his forehead helplessly. Why do people always misunderstand him like this?
"Haha. No kidding. Do you want to celebrate after coming out of the police station?"
Shinichi couldn't help but frowned: "Why do you sound like you're congratulating me for getting out of prison?"
"Don't worry about these little details. If you take them seriously, you'll lose." Kiba grinned, "Do you want me to take you back to your sister's place? Or do you want me to come with you to a coffee shop and have a cup of coffee together? Or should we take advantage of this time when we have nothing to do and go shopping together?"
Shinichi curled his lips and touched his stomach, which still felt a little empty. The pork chop rice in the police station just now was really not to his liking. A failure among failures.
So he decided to have another meal and eat something good, so he suggested: "Let's go shopping and find something to eat. The food at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is really hard to describe."
"Haha, yes."
Ranch smiled slightly, stepped on the accelerator, and the crimson Ferrari sped away.
The two of them naturally did not go back to the coffee shop. Instead, they found a high-end restaurant in the downtown area. The restaurant's wall decoration was quite classical. It was the style that Kiba liked, and Shinichi thought it was not bad.
"How about this one?" Shinichi pointed to the plaque written by everyone in characters he couldn't understand and asked Kiba.
Ranch looked up. As an educated person, he naturally knew what the words on the plaque meant. It was a sentence written in Italian.
The meaning can be translated as the moonlight is so beautiful.
After seeing the name of this restaurant, Kiba showed a subtle expression. Hiss... It seems that if it is just for eating, in fact, it is not necessary to care about such a small detail.
Thinking of this, Kiba did not explain to Shinichi what the plaque of this restaurant meant. Instead, with an inexplicable intention that even she herself was not clear about, she nodded and said, "I think it's not bad, let's go with this one."
The two walked into the restaurant, and when the waiter saw Shinichi and Kiba, a man and a woman, walking in, he immediately walked up to them and asked with a professional smile.
"Excuse me, do you two have a reservation?"
"reserve?"
Zheng Yi frowned. He actually needed to make a reservation? Why were all these high-end restaurants so troublesome?
When Shinichi heard that he needed to make a reservation, half of his desire to dine disappeared. However, he still looked at Kiba beside him and asked.
"This restaurant seems to require reservations. Do we really want to eat here?"
Kiba looked up at Shinichi and smiled calmly. He took out a black card from his pocket, handed it to the waiter, and asked, "I'm sorry, we didn't make any reservations. But I see there seem to be quite a few empty seats in the restaurant. Can you arrange some?"
The waiter took the black card and his expression brightened. He immediately realized that the woman in front of him was a rare big customer! So he nodded and said, "It can be arranged, of course it can be arranged. It depends on what scale you two need."
"scale?"
Shinichi was stunned by the waiter's words. What scale is needed for a meal? It's not a banquet or a wedding banquet.
However, Kaoru Kiba thought for a moment and said, "He and I both like a quieter style, so let's not make it too noisy."
"Okay, got it!"
The waiter bowed respectfully, then led the two people across the relatively crowded first floor to the less crowded, quieter, open-air floor, and invited them into a semi-open private room.
Shinichi looked at the candles that were burning on the table, touched his chin, and muttered, "What are you doing? A candlelight dinner? It's quite interesting~"
Shinichi's words fell into the waiter's ears. He was stunned at first, surprised that the man in front of him didn't know what his restaurant's ultimate main business was. Then he looked at the rather calm Kaoru Kiba next to him, and suddenly understood.
Ah~ It turned out that the rich woman was supporting a gigolo and wanted to play a little surprise and romance. He was also well-informed, so he did not open his mouth to remind Shinichi, but smiled and said: "The candlelight is to make the two of you feel more atmosphere when you are eating~"
Shinichi wasn't interested in the atmosphere. However, the candlestick was really pretty, at least it didn't bother him when it was in front of him, so Shinichi didn't say much and just nodded as a sign of agreement.
After the two sat down, the meal was quickly served. The meal was in typical Western style, with each dish served one by one.
The first dish was a steak, and attached to the steak was a card. Shinichi frowned and took the card from the steak to take a look.
After reading it, he couldn't help but shook his head. Because this card contained a short love story. But let Shinichi, who had written a novel before, evaluate it.
His evaluation was that it was unremarkable.
He shook his head and commented sharply, "A small note came with the meal. The story was full of loopholes. Don't even think about writing a complete story on such a small piece of paper. You might as well put a joke on it."
Shinichi said as he threw the paper in his hand away, but Kiba was reading it with great interest, saying, "I think it's quite interesting, although it's indeed a bit short."
Shinichi chuckled, cut off a piece of steak from the plate, stuffed it into his mouth and said, "If you like romance novels, you don't have to read this kind of stuff. I don't have any other skills, but I do have some writing skills. If you want to read a certain type of romance novel, maybe I can find some free time to write a short film for you or something?"
"Oh? Shinichi-kun, you can also write novels?"
"Of course I can write. When I was young, I was ignorant and even wanted to play tricks on my teacher. When I wrote a letter of apology to him, I just wrote a short love story to get by."
As he spoke, Shinichi gave Kiba a brief account of the content of the short story he had written at the time. When Kiba heard that the story Shinichi had written was actually about a teacher-student love story, he really couldn't help laughing.
"Hahahaha~ You are a real genius. You wrote a teacher-student romance in your apology letter to the teacher? Your teacher would probably beat you to death if he saw it~"
"Hmm... not really~"
"I don't believe it~I definitely beat him."
"I am a three-good student with excellent academic performance and good conduct. How could the teacher be willing to hit me?"
Facing Shinichi's somewhat conceited response, Kiba suppressed his laughter and shook his head.
As the next few dishes were served one by one, Shinichi realized that the restaurant he came to... seemed a little bit wrong.
"Again?" Shinichi frowned and picked up the note, taking a look at the document on it. This time, what was written on the note was not a romance story, but a short poem.
The content of the poem is basically inseparable from love and romance. Zhen Yan yawned when he saw it. Although he can be considered as a half-literary youth, he has always kept his distance from poetry and just can't read it.
"Alas, this is not as good as the previous short story." Shinichi couldn't help but complain.
However, after repeated hints, even if Shinichi was slow-witted, he could sense that something was wrong with this restaurant. He lifted the sign next to him, took a look, and translated the name of the restaurant using his cell phone.
The result made him speechless. He looked up at Kiba, only to see Kiba eating the food with one hand with great interest, while looking at the cards with the other hand with great interest.
"Ms. Kiba, did you do this on purpose or by accident?"
Shinichi asked Kiba after picking up a piece of stew and stuffing it into his mouth.
Kiba raised his eyebrows, pretending not to understand and said: "What are you talking about~ I don't understand~"
"You know this is a couples restaurant, right?"
Kiba immediately showed a surprised expression and said, "Ah! So this is a couples restaurant? What a surprise... It seems that we came to a wrong place~"
Shinichi couldn't help but roll his eyes at Kiba's lackluster acting. No one would believe this kind of acting!
Shinichi curled his lips. When he thought that this was actually a restaurant for couples, the atmosphere around him that exuded the sour smell of love made him feel more and more uneasy.
He finished the stew in no time, and all he wanted was to get this awkward dinner over with as quickly as possible.
However, Kiba ate leisurely with a smile on his face. While eating, he glanced at Shinichi and pointed at the corner of his mouth with a smile.
"Hmm?" Shinichi frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's oil on the corners of your mouth."
"Oh, eat everything first and then wipe it off, it's easier."
"Woo~" Kiba obviously didn't like Shinichi's lack of ceremony, so he took the silk scarf from his collar, stood up and leaned in front of Shinichi, and raised the silk scarf to carefully wipe the oil stains from the corners of Shinichi's mouth...
"..."
Shinichi was a little surprised, but did not show any rejection or refusal. Or perhaps he was so surprised that he had no time to react.
By the time he came to his senses, Kiba had already cleaned the grease from the corners of his mouth, sat back in his seat and continued to eat the stew leisurely.
"I paid for the meal, and I treated you to the wrong couples' restaurant. But as the host, I'd like to ask you, Shinichi-kun, how about we finish the meal properly~"
“…Tsk, alright…”
"Thank you~ Then... Shinichi-kun, can I ask you to do me one more thing?"
"what?"
"Read me a poem~"
"what?"
"It's the poem on that card. I hope you can read it to me~"
Chapter 191 Reading Poems for You
“I forgot all about time while talking to you;
Forgetting the seasons, and their change;
I can’t remember either;
The sweetest breath is in the morning—how sweet it is,
After a while, add the first chirping of the early birds..."
He read the poem with an awkward expression, and it felt like a first grader following the rest of the class. The reading of the text was generally flat and emotionless.
But Kiba was listening with great interest. He couldn't stop smiling.
I just don't know how much of this smile is due to the poem, or how much is due to the funny feeling of Shinichi reading the poem.
Finally, with a tingling sensation on his scalp, Shinichi finished reading the entire poem awkwardly. Then he spread his hands and threw away the paper cards.
He spread his hands and asked, "Okay, are you satisfied now?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, I saw something quite interesting, of course I am satisfied~ What a pity, I should have recorded it all with my phone just now."
"Oh~ you wish."
"Hahaha~ Don't reject me so bluntly. Give the lady some preferential treatment. After all, I am also a beautiful young girl, right?"
"Youthful and beautiful?" Shinichi curled his lips and rolled his eyes and said, "How old are you? You're still a beautiful girl?"
Rancho showed a hint of annoyance, and the back of the knife hit Shinichi's hand.
Then he ate the last piece of stew, looked at Shinichi and said, "You know, Shinichi-kun, sometimes I really think you are a little too biased.
I believe that if the person who asked you to read the poem and record it was your sister, you would not have any rejection. But unfortunately, it is me who is sitting in front of you. "
Shinichi didn't deny it, he spread his hands and responded, "Yes, you are right, absolutely right, I am biased because she is my sister. You can say I have a sister complex or something, but I don't care, I am just like that.
A person will meet many people in his life. But there are only a few family members. Only family members will trust you unconditionally and support you unconditionally. Even for many people, they cannot have such a family.
Ai Yi is definitely someone who can trust me and support me unconditionally. Facing such a family, why shouldn't I be partial to her? Is there anything wrong with being a little indulgent?"
Kiba nodded in agreement with Shinichi's answer: "You're right, Shinichi. So sometimes I envy you and Ai. I envy the way you can trust each other without any scruples and depend on each other. That feeling of being inseparable..."
"so?"
Facing Shinichi's question, Kiba opened his mouth to say something, but was silent for a long time, and hadn't figured out what kind of response he should give.
Finally, she just spread her hands and said, "So, it's just pure envy, that's all. Well~ Let's wait for the next dish. In fact, the taste of this restaurant is quite good, although it is a couple's restaurant. But since we are just here to eat, it doesn't matter, right?"
Shinichi felt the farm's retreat, but he smiled softly and didn't say much to Kiba. However, while waiting for the next dish, Shinichi glanced at the card with the poem written on it that was placed next to Kiba.
He touched his forehead, thought for a moment, took it and said, "You can take out your phone and take a picture now."
"Ah."
"Aren't you envious? Aren't you indulgent towards my sister? Well, although this is the first time I do this to someone else. However, for a beautiful girl like you who needs a little care during menopause, I can do this~"
"Who's in menopause!? Youthful and beautiful, do you understand?"
Ranch knocked on the table angrily, but from her eyes, everyone could see that she was not very angry, and even had a little joy.
