Don't you guys dislike me?

"Doesn't he have a fixed place? Even though it's a mobile ramen stand, won't he lose a lot of customers if he's so casual?"

"Hmm... Uncle Kumamoto is a weird guy. His ideal is to let everyone who hasn't tasted his ramen have a chance to eat it, so he uses this format. The locations I know are just the rules summarized by my friends."

"If he's so spontaneous, what rules can there be?"

The girl curled her lips and thought that the old man selling ramen was a weirdo.

"People... always have inertia."

…………

There were not many people in the Central Park at night. The sparse street lights barely illuminated the road, but it was still half-dead and dim.

The small ramen stall with a bright orange glow stood quietly outside the park. The chef's bustling energy was incompatible with the silence of the park.

"Uncle Kumamoto, long time no see."

"Oh! Isn't this Yuichi? Long time no see. Did you just happen to pass by here today?"

The unshaven uncle stared with his eyes as big as copper bells, illuminating the small shop like a little sun.

"No, my friend has been obsessed with your ramen since she tried it last time, so I brought her here to see you this time."

Hearing this, Uncle Kumamoto's heroic smile slowly faded, becoming serious and even as if he was facing a formidable enemy:

"Did you come here specially to see me?"

"Ah."

"How did you know I would be here? I don't even know where I will set up my stall tomorrow!"

Uncle Kumamoto frowned, his tone full of disbelief, as if his freedom to deliver delicious food had been taken away.

Yuichi thought for a moment and then gave Tomoya away.

"Well... Actually, Tomoya told me that you often appear near this park. If you can't find me, you can try your luck around here. I didn't expect that I would catch up with you today."

Uncle Kumamoto's frown relaxed and he said angrily:

"It turned out to be that little fat guy, no wonder..."

"Tongya is very obsessed with your ramen. He studies the place where you set up your stall whenever he has time. Doesn't this prove that you are a good ramen maker?"

"Humph! Of course, I want to be the man who becomes the ramen sage."

The store manager with thick eyebrows and big eyes was wandering in his dreams, and Yuichi looked at Miura Yumiko beside him.

The rich aroma of the soup broth teased the girl's taste buds. She had not even eaten dinner to wait for Yuichi. Now she was extremely hungry. She covered her empty stomach, stared at the side dishes in front of her, and suddenly cried out:

"Oji-san, I want tonkotsu ramen!"

"okay."

…………

After eating ramen, the two walked slowly on the street, watching people coming and going, busy with their lives. Yuichi felt quite fortunate and leisurely as if he was out of the world. Now he didn't need to rush for a living.

"Is there anything else I need to do to atone for my sins, Miura-san?"

Yuichi looked at Miura Yumiko who was silent beside him. She seemed a little uncomfortable, as if she was deliberately catering to his rhythm.

The girl raised her tender green eyes, the neon lights cast a dreamy glow on them, her eyebrows lowered slightly, thinking carefully:

"Please take me home. It's getting late. I'm specifically allowing you, a badass, to escort me home today."

The lovely shyness is hidden beneath this faint pride, just like the rosy face under the noble golden hair.

"It's my pleasure."

"Humph~"

…………

Yumiko Miura's home was not far away. It was a journey of more than ten minutes. Even if the girl slowed down her pace, she arrived in the blink of an eye. When she looked up and saw the house that was gradually becoming familiar, she was a little surprised.

So fast……

77. Spectators

Yumiko Miura was a little absent-minded, walking hesitantly at the alley entrance. The dim yellow street light illuminated the faint traces of tears on her pretty face. Her slightly red eyes looked a little swollen, and she looked a little delicate and pitiful.

This kind of opportunity for Youyi to patiently accompany her doesn't always come, why should she be a good child and go home on time? ! Home is just ahead, if Youyi doesn't know her home, then he can go around and walk around for a long time...

"I wonder what you would think if you saw me crying, Ye Shan?"

Yuichi joked as he looked at the girl whose features were filled with fatigue.

"Huh?! What does this have to do with Hayato?"

Although there was a hint of smile in his voice, Miura Yumiko still didn't like the presence of a third party when they were alone, even if it was just a name, even if that person was her good friend, she always felt that Yuichi's words sounded a little sarcastic and she felt uncomfortable.

"Everyone in the class knows that Miura Yumiko likes Hayama Hayato."

Miura Yumiko was a little unhappy with the words that were like the sound of flowing water without any ups and downs. What a reaction! If you are jealous now, maybe I can get my comfort... You don't understand this! Baka~

The girl cursed secretly in her heart, and her tightly pursed lips suddenly lifted up, but Yuichi spoke first:

"But... this is not accurate. Miura Yumiko fell in love with Hayama Hayato in order to avoid being pursued by too many people. I think Hayama should think the same way. It is too unrealistic to respond to everyone's feelings. Love is the most difficult to deal with. Hayama is like a 360-degree sun that distributes every bit of sunshine equally to everyone. Everyone has a chance, but no one can be greedy."

"Love, the feeling of wanting to embrace all the sunshine of the other person, runs counter to Ye Shan's way of doing things and is incompatible with each other. He wants to take everything into consideration, so when the other person expresses his feelings, he hesitates and is unable to make a complete break. Leaving hope to the other person is also giving the other person an unrealistic dream. Watching the other person running on a road with no end is actually a kind of cruelty. For the gentle Ye Shan, his heart will not allow him to do this..."

Every time he makes a decision, Hayato Hayama must be in agony.

Youyi paused, looked at the girl with fierce blonde hair beside him and continued:

"But if you express your feelings for Ye Shan, everything will be different. Your presence will become a huge obstacle for the girls with different thoughts. The image of the queen you have established in the class and even in the grade will more or less intimidate them. Even if there are still people who express their feelings to Ye Shan, the number will definitely be much less."

Hoshino Yuichi talked about his own views without paying any attention to the surprised girl beside him.

"Why do you know so much?!"

Surprise flashed in her beautiful green eyes. Her eyebrows rose as her eyes widened. Her tone gradually rose as she continued to ask:

"Did Hayato tell you?"

Youyi shook his head. He just liked to watch the farces on the youth stage as a spectator, occasionally express his personal opinions, or film reviews? And then bury them deep in his heart.

He did not conduct an in-depth investigation, and at most he only got a glimpse of the whole situation for his own amusement, so he seldom mentioned it to others. He just expressed his thoughts in order to confirm another guess of his.

"Ye Shan and I are not familiar with each other, how could he tell me these things? This is just my opinion as a bystander. I simply felt that your relationship was a little strange, so I paid a little attention to it."

"Then why do you know so much about it?"

The girl kept asking questions. She couldn't wait to know how Youyi found out the secret, as if she felt that this would bring them closer.

"Since you're not familiar with Hayato, how do you know that he responds to everyone? And how do you know that he's troubled by frequent confessions?! Hey, Hoshino, tell me quickly."

The girl's beautiful eyes were filled with a strong desire for knowledge, and she kept pestering Youyi like a curious baby.

Yuichi did not answer her question, but pointed forward.

"Got home."

Miura Yumiko paused, looked up at the gorgeous purple eyes, which were calm and didn't seem to intend to answer her question.

She curled her lips, a little unhappy. Since you are playing the role of a criminal, you should be more professional. How dare you ignore the examiner's questions? Humph!

Although Yuichi had aroused a lot of doubts in her heart, the girl still had no intention of forcing him to answer the questions. On the one hand, she had already noticed Yuichi's attitude towards their relationship, and on the other hand, she wanted to use the opportunity of atonement to take this shaky relationship to the next level!

"Wait... Never mind. I'll just make one last request, okay?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Miura Yumiko felt strange. It was Yuichi who was supposed to apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness, but now it seemed like she was begging Yuichi to agree?! It was so annoying...

"I'll try my best." Yuichi didn't promise.

"You can't just try your best, you have to finish it." The warm yellow light in the room fell on the girl's pretty face through the glass, as if she was coated with a layer of golden makeup, looking majestic. She clenched her fists against her waist, like a queen commanding her subordinates.

The dancing golden hair is her cape, and the firm words are the imperial decree. It's a pity that the person in front of her is not her subordinate, but her partner?

"Why don't you tell me your request first?"

Seeing that Yuichi was unmoved, Miura Yumiko hugged her chest and hummed softly, and then a lovely blush rose on her cheeks. Her tough tone had long been softened by her shyness:

"From now on, you have to call me by my name, and I will call you You, Youyi in return."

When she uttered the word "You", her voice seemed to have dissolved into the air without any ripples or sounds. As if she felt that she was too shy and wanted to save her image, the girl shouted in a tsundere voice to cover up her disappointment just now:

“Did you understand?!”

"Ah~ Yumiko, you can't be so loud or it will disturb the neighbors."

The voice, so soft that it seemed to have no weight at all, made Youyi feel particularly familiar. Miura's mother, with a gentle look on her face, had already come out of the house.

"Mother?!"

The dignity that Miura Yumiko had finally mustered up had to be transformed back into that of a good girl because of the arrival of Miura's mother, and the corners of her raised eyebrows and eyes naturally drooped slightly.

"Sorry……"

"Yeah~ That's right."

Miura's mother patted her daughter's head and nodded with satisfaction.

The girl shyly grasped the hem of her skirt, hesitating where she was. She wanted to go home first but also wanted to hear Youyi calling her name. She felt a little embarrassed to stand here and act like a good girl, as this was so different from her usual personality.

ps: Woohoo, the cookies are gone too, there are many new perverts, and the old perverts are also slipping away one by one (sad)

78. Good night, Youmeko (This chapter is 100 words short, please pay attention before subscribing)

"It turns out to be the boy who came last time~"

Miura's mother looked up, her gentle eyes filled with surprise that was hard to tell whether real or fake, and that soft smile never stopped.

"Long time no see, Auntie."

Yuichi greeted politely.

"Um... I remember it was... Hoshino-kun?"

"Hoshino Yuichi."

"Ah~ That's right, Hoshino-kun! It's dangerous to walk alone at this late hour. Why don't you just stay here instead of going home?"

"Mom..." Miura Yumiko tugged at her mother's apron, her porcelain-like face flushed red. When she raised her eyes inadvertently, what Yuichi saw was mostly anger and helplessness.

Miura's mother always has a smile on her face and voice, and Yuichi is not sure what she really means.

"No need, I'm a boy, it's okay to walk at night."

"Even boys need to be careful!" Miura's mother waved her hand and said leisurely: "Recently, there have been many news reports about boys being bullied while walking on the street at night. Hoshino-kun must be more careful~"

This covert and covert coercion and inducement to him to stay overnight made Yuichi wonder if Miura's mother's innocentness was real?

"I'll pay more attention..."

San Youyi did not comment.

"Stop talking, Mom has to go home. If we continue talking, it will be late at night!"

Yumiko Miura really couldn't stand this feeling of being on edge. She was jumping back and forth between anticipation, nervousness and the disappointment that she didn't want to admit, making her feel dizzy.

The girl pushed her mother, who didn't want to leave, towards home.

"Eh?! Yumiko, I still have something to say to Hoshino-kun. If you can't wait, you can go home first..."

"Da-me! It's too late."

"Then, when will you bring him back?"

"How would I know something like that?!"

Yumiko Miura had a headache dealing with her naive mother, and sighed with regret in her heart. In the end, she still didn't hear Yuichi calling her name... She didn't know when such an opportunity would come again?

The girl's eyes dimmed slightly, and she turned back with some regret, only to see that Youyi hadn't left yet. She was about to glare at him and tell him to go home quickly, but she saw Youyi open his mouth. She was so far away and clearly couldn't hear any sound, but she could understand what he meant:

Good night, Yumiko.

Although she had given up hope, the corners of the girl's mouth kept curling up, and a faint joy and sweetness spread in her heart, flowing through her blood vessels and into her limbs. Her body was eager to run over and let that self-righteous villain say it to her face a hundred times!
