How rude, we are pure love!

He didn't queue up to buy this thing just for the sake of seeing Hanai. He mainly wanted to see how delicious the limited edition product that attracted so many people and Miss Sea Otter was!

018. Sharing snacks for the first time

This crepe shop had more people than expected, and many people had to take photos and check in after entering the store to feel satisfied - it looked like the type that Banaijian would like, but this also wasted a lot of time, and he had to wait in line for an hour before he could enter the store.

Fortunately, this so-called limited edition product has not been sold out yet. The store owner said that they did not expect the business to be so popular yesterday, so they are giving it back as compensation to those who did not buy it.

"Hello, are you buying this limited edition crepe for yourself or as a gift to a friend?" The waitress smiled sweetly.

Qingye answered subconsciously, "Well...give it to someone."

"Please wait a moment."

Hearing this, the clerk specially changed the packaging for him. The crepe was wrapped in a transparent box with a cute smiley face drawn on it and tied with a red bow. Inside was a delicious delicacy that looked like cherry blossoms. It looked pretty good, and he wanted to try one, but it was a little expensive, so he might as well wait for the next chance!

Qingye walked out of the store, put the box in the front basket of his bicycle, and rode back to work.

"I'll have to ask Banaijian to reimburse the gold coins later."

Thinking of this, Qingye increased the speed of his bicycle.

There was only a ray of scarlet sunset left on the horizon, as if it would disappear at any time.

In front of the restaurant, he picked up the limited edition dessert that the girl had been longing for, pushed open the door, and planned to give it to her later. However, when he just walked into the staff area and ran into a certain older sister, he subconsciously put the box behind him - I'm not the girl who needs a gift, why should I hide it!

Qingye complained about himself, but there was nothing he could do. Interpersonal relationships in the workplace are very sensitive! If someone saw them, they would definitely think they were dating! This would have a bad impact on both of them!

After reaching the lounge safely, he closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he realized a serious problem.

Will doing this cause Ba Nai Jian to misunderstand me?

In fact, he just wanted to comfort the lost girl...

Qingye scratched his head and began to think about how to deliver the crepe to the girl in a way that would not be misunderstood.

He thought for a moment and put the box on the table first, so that Banaijian would be able to see it when she came. As long as he hinted to her... No, no, this looked too much like something that someone else had forgotten. If it was Banaijian, she would definitely ask others first, and then everything would be exposed!

Then, he took out a charcoal pencil from the store, wrote a small note on the box and stuck it on it - "This is a gift from Santa Claus, please accept it with confidence" - this is even worse! It's a complete prank! No one would dare to eat it!

Qingye suddenly fell into an indescribable dilemma. It was just a small matter, why was it so troublesome?

Just then, the door of the lounge was gently opened.

After seeing that familiar blue, Qingye took a deep breath.

Banaijian walked into the lounge.

Although no one noticed these two days, she was indeed feeling a little depressed. It was not just because she didn't get to eat the delicious food she wanted, but also for some other reasons.

In everyone's eyes, she has always been a carefree, cheerful and energetic person, as if she is laughing all the time - although the fact is not much different, she also feels happy, sad and lost like other people, the difference is that she will not deliberately express these emotions, but bury them deep in her heart - no one knows when she developed this habit.

She didn't like bringing her negative emotions to others, and what made her feel helpless was that everyone around her seemed to be accustomed to her usual behavior. No one would really delve into her heart and care about her. They would just think, "If it was Banaijian, he would definitely get over it after a while."

Even when she vaguely hinted that her childhood sweetheart was worthless, he acted nonchalant.

After realizing this, the girl inevitably felt a little depressed.

Of course, she knew she couldn't blame anyone else, as her image had always been like that, but... she also hoped someone would notice "the other side of herself."

So, when she saw the scene in front of her, she was really surprised.

"Is this... a crepe?"

Ba Nai looked up blankly. At this moment, the last ray of sunset in the sky penetrated through the window and illuminated the things in front of her. The boy was holding a transparent box in his hand, which contained exquisite snacks. Perhaps it was the light of the sunset, she just felt that it looked like a shining treasure.

"Yeah, I happened to be passing by and saw they were still for sale, so I bought one... Don't think too much about it."

The boy turned his back to the sunset, seemed a little embarrassed, snorted artificially, and turned his face away.

Ah, that's it.

Still, one person noticed.

There is still someone who cares about her.

It's like the sound of fireworks blooming in my heart.

Banai saw Xingcai looking straight into his eyes, and then a big smile appeared on her face.

"um. Thank you!"

That was the sound of joy that came from the heart.

She carefully took the box and opened it, her eyes sparkling like a beautiful lake reflecting the sunset.

"Wow! Look, look! It's just as luxurious as the pictures online!"

The girl turned her head to look at him, with a touching and beautiful smile on her face. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that there was some subtle difference between Banaijian's current smile and her usual smile.

"Okay……"

Qingye responded casually, but looking at Banaijian's smiling face, the corners of his mouth still raised slightly... It's good to be able to regain his energy, it's worth it for him to run so far and wait in line for so long.

Sure enough, it’s still very happy to be with the girl.

He glanced at the girls snapping photos of the desserts, smiled, sat in the corner and turned on his computer.

But then, something happened that he could not have expected.

That Ba Nai Jian.

That extremely protective Ba Nai Jian.

He actually shared dessert with her! ?

"for you!"

The blue-haired girl stood across the table from him, leaning forward slightly and placing almost the entire crepe into his mouth.

...To be honest, he didn't want to eat the same snacks as the girl, but...but! This was a snack that Yanaijian had proactively shared with her! It was the kind of snack that would definitely earn you an achievement in the game! This might be the only chance of his life!

Thinking of this, Qingye made up his mind and took a bite.

The rich milky aroma fills your taste buds.

"what about the taste?"

the girl asked with a bright smile.

"Well... not bad!" Qingye responded with a smile.

The girl sat on the table and took a bite of the food where he had eaten.

The two figures seemed to dissolve into the final dusk.

After that, Banaijian would take the initiative to share snacks with him every day.

Although only a little.

...

ps: I had a lot of fun writing this chapter!

...

019. This simulated NPC really wins my heart!

"Kiyano-kun, Lemon-chan seems to be in trouble recently..."

A French fry dipped in ketchup was suddenly poked in front of Qingye. If he hadn't tilted his head back, the French fry would have hit his face. He looked at the blue-haired girl in front of him speechlessly and said, "If you want to share the food, then share it, but can you be a little quieter?"

He hesitated for a moment, then took the fries with his hands, put them in his mouth, and wiped his hands carefully with a tissue before putting his hands back on the keyboard and casually asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"Of course, love is what can bother adolescent girls!" Banaijian was also eating French fries.

"The confession failed?"

"...No, it's still a long way from that."

As the words fell, Yanai saw Mo Ming feel like his head was hit by a boomerang. After a pause, she continued, "It's because other girls appeared next to Ayano-kun, and she didn't know what to do..."

Qingye was thoughtful. It seemed that the plot had already begun, and the girls were only one step away from defeat. He didn't care before, but now he was a member of the loser alliance, and he must do his part!

He asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Of course, all those who steal fish, other than childhood friends, must be hunted down and killed..."

Banaijian was still gritting his teeth, but halfway through his words, for some reason, he suddenly stole a glance at Qingye, and his words, full of hatred and aggression, changed. "That... depends on Lemon Sauce's own thoughts."

Qingye hummed. He didn't expect the girl to give any useful advice. Otherwise, Banaijian wouldn't have become a legendary loser. He still had to come up with an idea! At least don't let Shaoyan Lemon lose so badly!

In the afternoon, Qingye rode his bike to a nearby bookstore.

Since he is determined to achieve success in the field of literature, reading and learning are indispensable. Whenever he has free time, he will go to the bookstore to check out the light novels and comics that have sold well recently, and learn from them from the perspective of observation and research, so as to absorb the essence and avoid the bad points.

——Well, it’s for viewing, not for buying.

Qingye stood in front of the bookshelf in the corner of the bookstore, flipping through a best-selling novel and thinking silently.

There is no way. Although the price of a light novel or comic seems cheap, only four or five hundred yen, he wants to read much more than one book. If the amount accumulates, it will be a price that he cannot afford now, so he can only put aside his shame for the time being!

As long as I am not embarrassed, others are embarrassed!

"I'll come back to buy more tickets when I get rich."

Qingye muttered.

As for the library card given by Shaoyan Lemon, it cannot be used to borrow light novels and comics. He basically uses it to look up professional information.

At this time, there seemed to be another person beside him.

Qingye caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and froze in place.

Why is it her?

This is a girl with wheat-colored skin, tall stature, and slender hands and feet. At first glance, she looks like a model for a fashion magazine. Although her hairstyle is not as exquisite as that of ordinary girls, her exposed smooth neck contrasts with her bold temperament, revealing her sexy side.

Why would a sporty girl like Shaoyan Lemon appear in a bookstore?

As if sensing his gaze, the girl turned her head and looked over, revealing a pretty and delicate face. "Eh? Ah Qing? What a coincidence!"

After seeing Qingye, Shaoyan Lemon immediately smiled, trotted over, and patted his shoulder enthusiastically - she was worthy of being a girl who had a good relationship with Banaijian, even their way of greeting was similar.

"Shaoyan, are you here to buy comics?" Qingye asked curiously.

"Uh... I feel like your question is subtly rude. I'm in a bookstore, so of course I'm here to buy books!"

Shaoyan Lemon looked at him dissatisfiedly.

"Sorry..." Qingye had a smile on his face. Thinking of his previous conversation with Yanaijian, he suddenly said, "Did you come here to buy books just to chat with your childhood sweetheart?"

The only reason that can make a girl who doesn't like reading step into a bookstore on her own initiative is that she wants to have common topics with the person she likes.

He said this very bluntly, and Shaoyan Lemon was completely stunned. Qingye's words came out without any preparation, so she naturally didn't make any preparations. As a result, she opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Her face was getting redder and redder, just like a cooked shrimp.

Although Shaoyan Lemon did have a crush on her childhood sweetheart, this was the first time another boy brought it up to her face!

"Yes, so what if it is!" Her little brain was overloaded and she chose to face the shame.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. Rather, it's great that you're willing to muster up the courage to take this step."

The shyness of Shaoyan Lemon gradually faded away, because Qingye's expression was gentle and sincere when he said this, just like an intimate big brother next door, and he seemed particularly trustworthy.

"But... I'm really not good at reading. I often fall asleep after reading those literary masterpieces for a while, so I thought I could try reading some interesting light novels first..."

The girl casually picked up a book and covered the lower half of her face, her eyes blinking - she couldn't help but reveal her inner thoughts. This was the first time she said these words to her peers, and Banaijian had never been treated this way!

"...Does Ayano-san like reading light novels?"

Qingye now directly changes his job from a reader to a military strategist, giving advice and plans to the girl.
