life in the world

Saying that, Hoshikawa Harutaki raised the hand that had been behind his back to the front.

"Clang, Surprise!"

"Aha?"

"I borrowed a clean lunch box and a set of tableware from the aunt in the student cafeteria. I didn't bother to eat it myself, so I came to deliver lunch to Nogami."

He carefully placed the lunch box on the desk, then pulled a chair over and sat beside Izumi Nogami.

In fact, he wasn't telling the whole truth—

Or, only about 10% of what he said was true.That is to say, Izumi Nogami may not have lunch, so he came to deliver food to the other party.

"It's really lucky. I didn't expect that there was only the last lunch box left. I don't know which teacher it was prepared for. It was useless. It turned out to be cheaper for us."

This is a lie.

There are more than a dozen sets of lunch boxes neatly stacked in the disinfection cabinet in the back kitchen of the restaurant, just for teachers who are inconvenient to eat in the student cafeteria, or for students who need to eat out when the restaurant is crowded.

That's how thoughtful a good school is.

click.

After opening the buckle of the lunch box and lifting the lid, what Izumi Nogami showed was a fried pork cutlet set with two pieces of golden pork cutlets covered.

"I came here in a hurry without eating, and I'm really hungry now. However, if I go to the restaurant at this time, I probably have no food..."

When she is an idiot?This bastard Xingchuan...

Izumi Nogami glared at him, thinking that no matter what he said, the other party was bringing food to him, so he decided not to expose his clumsy trick.

Seeing that the girl was indifferent, Haru Taki went to pick up the bread that fell on the ground.Then, he tore off the outer skin that had stuck to the floor, and started to gnaw dryly right in front of her eyes.

Where did you come from, a stinky brat who threatened your parents with your own body?

"I can't eat so much, so it's okay to share some with you. So... where's your tableware?"

She looked at the plastic bag containing the lunch box. There was only a pair of chopsticks in it, nothing else.

"Ahaha, the rest of the chopsticks have been cleaned and disinfected."

There is only one set of useless lunch boxes left, only a pair of chopsticks——

She is not an idiot, how could she not understand the other party's obvious intentions.

"I'm sorry for saying that, student Xingchuan, please wait until I finish eating, and eat the leftovers in your lunch box."

"Eh?"

Why is this a little different from what he expected?

Xingchuan Harutaki reluctantly met the eyes of Nogami Izumi's pink eyes, which were full of jokes.

Shouldn't you go with the flow and say to use a pair of chopsticks together at this time?

"Tsk, what a nasty stupid dog... Since I need your help later, let's not bother with you this time."

She picked up a piece of tonkatsu with teriyaki sauce with her chopsticks, and handed it to Harutaki's mouth.

"Open your mouth, ah—"

click.

The crispy pork chops burst out with tender juices, and the aroma of the meat instantly filled the entire mouth.

Although the skin is a bit soft after being stuffed in the lunch box for a while, it has little effect on the original taste of the pork chops, and it still tastes pretty good.

"And rice."

After giving a piece of tonkatsu to the other party, Izumi Nogami picked up a pinch of white rice and sent it over.

"Gulu, some more cabbage, my mouth is a bit dry."

"It's good to feed you, there are so many requests."

Although she complained about her dissatisfaction, she still gave him a bunch of shredded cabbage according to Harutaki's request.Because it is a cold dish mixed with roasted sesame sauce, it tastes sweet and sour. In addition, the cabbage itself has enough water, so it is very suitable for rice.

Seeing Harutaki eating so deliciously, Izumi Nogami couldn't help being moved.However, she looked at the only tableware in her hand that might have been stained with the other party's saliva, and then at the steaming fried pork cutlet rice. After a moment of hesitation, she finally made up her mind and stretched out her chopsticks.

"Don't worry, I have always insisted on the meal sharing system, so there will be no Helicobacter pylori."

"Who cares about that, idiot!"

After being teased by him, she, who was still a little slow and hesitant at first, picked up the pork chops and rice forcefully, and stuffed them into her mouth.

Plump and juicy white meat, slightly sweet and salty teriyaki sauce, and rice-flavored rice——

Is pork cutlet bowl so delicious?

She didn't know whether it was due to hunger or because of the high level of chefs in the student restaurant, but this lunch tasted even better than the high-end bento she had ordered.

Although in Xingchuan Harutaki's view, she simply seldom eats fresh hot meals.

No matter what kind of bento it is, bring it to school in the morning and eat it during lunch break. After a few hours, how can there be any hot food?

When thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky.After all, many Dongguo schools have never set up student canteens. If he was in that kind of school, he would probably ask Xuanxia to help prepare a lunch box in the morning, and then go to the school for a cold meal.

As for how Ayaka, Chiaki, and Fuyuno eat...they go to a private school with high tuition fees, so they don't have to worry about things other than studying.

"Nogami-san, pork chop."

"Give you."

"Nogami-san, cabbage."

"Give you……"

"Nogami-san—"

"Wait for me to finish eating first, bastard!"

"Nogami-san, hungry, eat."

"Xingchuan, where are you from the kindergarten kid?! Would you like me to rub your belly for you after the meal!?"

In this way, the lunch of the two of them ended amidst the noise.It took about 20 minutes in total, and there was still nearly a quarter of an hour before class.

Hoshikawa Harutaki licked his lips with satisfaction, packed up the lunch boxes and cutlery on the table, and prepared to send them back to the student cafeteria in the remaining time.

Although he didn't get half full from this meal like he did in the restaurant, the enjoyment of being fed by a beautiful girl was an experience that he would never get in a student cafeteria.

What an understanding guy.

He glanced at Nogami Izumi who was rinsing his mouth, and thought quite proudly.

Spotted his botched tricks to get fed by her?

Just kidding, she can find out, but he can't consider it?

To put it bluntly, he deliberately made Nogami Izumi think so——

The character of Nogami is actually not difficult to figure out.If you want to follow the fur of her fierce cat, you only need to lift her to a high position, and satisfying her sense of superiority and self-esteem is enough.Of course, there is another necessary prerequisite, that is, to be able to get her approval, not to be regarded as a stupid and boring "toy".

"Wait a moment."

"I have to return the lunch box and cutlery, what's the matter?"

Harutaki Xingchuan, who had just walked to the door, was stopped by Izumi Nogami, and his footsteps stopped, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

This tone... Could it be that she wants to settle accounts after the fall?

Just when he was uneasy, Nogami Izumi slowly said a request that surprised him.

"Turn around and look this way."

He turned around and noticed that the other party touched his mouth and face inexplicably after aiming at him with the phone camera——

There is no sauce or rice grains on this?

"smile."

He pulled out a slightly stiff smile.

"Be natural! Can't you think of something happy?"

"You don't mean to post my photo on a gay dating site, do you?"

"Your thoughts are disgusting, what kind of filth is in your head..."

Nogami Izumi glanced at him speechlessly, as if looking at something dirty.

Of course he knew that the current Nogami Izumi could not do anything to persecute him, but he insisted on thinking of something happy...

Speaking of which, before the girl fed him vegetables with disgust on her face, but there was a radiance called anticipation in her eyes—now recalling that scene, he couldn't help but smile.

"You have such an obscene smile, Xingchuan, are you thinking of something perverted?"

Too bad, was it so easy for her to see through?

After regaining his composure, Harutaki soon showed the business-like smile he was used to in social situations.

"how about this?"

"It's a bit hypocritical, but it's not impossible to make do with it..."

Should it be said that it is Izumi Nogami?His eyes are terrifyingly sharp, and his pretentious smile can be seen at a glance. It is obvious that those friends, clients, and even most of the managers thought that his smile was quite sincere.

With a click, Izumi Nogami tapped the screen with his finger, and his portrait was saved in the photo album of the other party's phone.

"Is it going to be stuck on the straw man and pricked with a needle? Any other place is fine, please spare the lower body."

He did not give up trying to find out the girl's purpose in doing so.

"Tch, I won't do... just don't do bad things!"

Saying so, she directly pushed Harutaki's back and pushed him out of the unoccupied classroom.

"Don't do bad things? What's the use of asking for my photo if you don't do bad things?"

Confused, he had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and go to the student cafeteria to return the lunch boxes and tableware.

?

After school at three o'clock in the afternoon, Harutaki Hoshikawa went straight home, preparing materials to help Izumi Nogami get out of the bullying and attack, while the latter turned into a 7-11 convenience store on the way back to his apartment.

Since it's not the end of get off work time, the store is relatively cold, only three girls who look like junior high school students, wearing the uniform of an unknown school, chatting around the dessert shelf. buy what.

"This...and then this..."

As the successful payment interface popped up, the printer beside the aisle of the convenience store began to work hummingly.

After a piece of A4 paper was sucked into the printer, it was slowly spit out after a few seconds, and there was already an enlarged portrait of Harutaki Xingchuan on the blank paper.

Compared with the quality developed by the camera studio, the quality is worse, but it is not bad...

However, just as she was looking for any flaws or problems in the printed portrait, a slightly immature and lively voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Wow, Minami, Ryoko, look, this boy is really handsome!"

"Let's take a look, let's take a look... Hey, he really looks better than many debut idols!"

"Huhu...the smile is so warm..."

The three middle school girls who were standing next to the dessert shelf before had gathered around her at some point, trying to stand on tiptoe to look at the portrait of Xingchuan Harutaki in her hand as if their eyes were shining like stars.

"you--"

"Huh? It's my senior! This school badge is the famous Hitani High School, it's super amazing! And it looks like a star, super beautiful! The figure is also super-great!"

Just about to drive the three of them away impatiently, the other party's lively and cheerful temperament came over and praised her fiercely. On the premise of not doing anything out of the ordinary, Nogami Izumi was a little embarrassed to drive them away.

Moreover, at this moment, she couldn't help but think of that bastard's lesson——

To make a lot of friends...

"You are……?"

"I'm sorry for the sudden interruption. Good afternoon, senior. We are third-year students at Futaba Middle School!"

"Sister, may I ask if the senior in the photo you printed is your boyfriend?"

"When, of course not!"

She didn't know why she denied it, but when she thought about what that guy Xingchuan did to her, the attitude he showed towards her, and the refusal to answer her thoughts last night...

What a bastard!

"Is it the object of the senior sister's crush? The senior sister is so beautiful, if you confess directly, the senior will definitely not refuse!?"
