Social phobia and lonely rock

Hongxia's attitude left Yili no room for refusal. She hesitated for a moment and gave up her seat.

But Yili only walked a few steps away and walked to the side near the sofa to ask Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"Falcon, do we still have aprons at home?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa seemed to be unaware of the situation around him. He turned his eyes away from his phone and looked at Ichiri.

"Just two."

Yili hesitated for a moment and looked back at Hongxia uneasily.

Ishikawa Hayabusa's voice is different from Ichiri's voice. Hongxia doesn't even need Ichiri to repeat it, she can hear his voice clearly in the kitchen.

Her expression stiffened.

Yili walked back and guessed what Ishikawa Hayabusa was thinking so she handed his apron back to Hongxia.

"Hongxia-chan..."

Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief. Although she could ask Yili to lend her her apron and let Yili wear Ishikawa Hayabusa's apron, she came here to help, not to cause trouble.

She took the apron, returned the chopsticks to Yili, and pretended to be indifferent.

"I can't help it, don't worry about it, Pochi-chan."

Ichiri shook his head slightly.

"Won't..."

Hongxia was holding Ishikawa Hayabusa's apron in her hand, and she could feel that what Yili said was definitely not well thought out.

Perhaps it was because of Pochi-chan's attitude that the two of them were hoping for a lucky break.

Hong Xia thought about it, put on the apron, and told herself in her heart.

"It's just an apron, just an apron."

As the apron was put on her, the tight, airtight, waterproof and oil-proof fabric pressed against her chest and hung down to her calves.

Her heart was in turmoil, but she still tightened the belt of her apron behind her out of habit.

The belt wasn't tied very tight, but it made her gasp.

She didn't have the sense of smell like Ishikawa Hayabusa, who could smell the scent of another person from clothes that hadn't been worn for a long time, but she still felt his scent from her apron.

Hongxia knew very well that this was just an illusion, but she still couldn't put the idea aside.

After a few seconds, she chose to get used to the feeling and began to help Yili.

...

"I'm gonna start now."

At the dinner table, the five people were almost filling up the table. Fortunately, Ishikawa Hayabusa had prepared just the right tables and chairs, and there was no shortage of bowls and chopsticks.

Few people would have to eat out or go home in such weather.

However, the seating position was different from that in the store. At the rectangular table, Ishikawa Hayabusa sat on the side, Ichiri and Ryo sat on both sides of him, Kita and Ichiri on one side, and Ryo and Nijika on the other side.

"Goto-san's cooking skills are so good?!"

Kita said in surprise after taking a bite of the dish made by Ichiri.

"Ah, because my mother was worried that I would starve to death at home alone, so she taught me how to do it..."

Yili responded weakly and put a small piece of meat in his mouth.

"Last time, everyone thought Pochi-chan couldn't cook, so it was a big mistake not to ask Pochi-chan to help."

Hongxia said teasingly.

Ishikawa Hayabusa glanced at Liang who was eating quickly, and then spoke to Kita who was still shocked and surprised.

"Hey, it looks like there's only one person at the table who's unlearned."

Kita's expression froze. She looked at the distance between the tables and the seats of the people, and said angrily that she couldn't guarantee that she could kick Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"I...I also have things I'm good at!"

"for example?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't let her off and asked with a smile.

Seeing that Ishikawa Hayabusa was still not giving in, Hongxia drank a mouthful of soup, swallowed the food in her mouth, and warned him in a deeper voice.

"Hayabusa-kun, don't bully Kita-chan."

Hongxia's words disrupted Ishikawa Hayabusa's plan, but he still said it.

"I didn't bully Kita. I know Kita is good at many things."

"For example, she plays the guitar well, even though she was taught by Yili. She sings well, even though she only started learning it recently. She also has a very high level of beauty skills, and can even take on commercials. She is also very good at dealing with people."

Kita listened to Ishikawa Hayabusa with caution at first, and she was even ready to complain, "Don't just casually mention something I'm better at!"

But after Ishikawa Hayabusa finished speaking, she fell silent and ate her meal in silence.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at her silence and continued.

"So, when the time comes, Kita will be the only one who can handle the customer service when selling CDs."

"puff."

Liang almost spit out his rice.

Hongxia looked at Liang woodenly, then glared at Ishikawa Hayabusa viciously.

When Kita heard what Ishikawa Hayabusa said, she didn't care much. Instead, she seemed relieved.

"Hayabusa, you're not going to tease me like this just for this, are you?"

"of course."

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled brightly.

“That’s too bad!”

After Kita finished speaking, Nijixia looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa with a stern tone.

"Be quiet while you eat!"

...

After dinner, Hongxia pushed open the glass door of the living room and looked outside. Seeing that there was only a drizzle outside, she decided to go back to the store to help.

She closed the glass door and turned to speak to the four people sitting on the sofa.

"Hayabusa-kun, Pochi-chan, it's almost time, I have to go back too."

Before Ishikawa Hayabusa and Ichiri could say anything, Ryo quickly responded by waving his hand.

"Bon Voyage."

Her calm tone was filled with sincere feelings of farewell to Hong Xia.

When Hongxia heard this, veins bulged on her forehead. She walked over, grabbed Liang's shoulders with her little hands, lifted her up and shouted.

"You go back too!"

When Kita saw Liang being pulled by Hongxia with a helpless look on his face, she sighed in her heart, but seeing that Hongxia and Liang were both leaving, she felt embarrassed to stay here any longer.

She stood up.

"Then I'll come too, Goto-san, Hayabusa-kun, see you tomorrow."

Yili opened her mouth but no sound came out. She seemed to want to play here with the others for a while longer.

But she knew that it was time to work, so she didn't make things difficult for Hongxia.

She looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa before responding.

"See you tomorrow."

However, in front of several people, Ishikawa Hayabusa took a bottle of eye drops and dripped them into his eyes, then wiped his "tears" and spoke to them.

"Are you really going to go back? I'm lonely. It's okay for everyone to stay here. My bed..."

"Um?!"

Hongxia asked him to reorganize his words.

Ishikawa Hayabusa also smiled and stopped joking. He stood up and said.

"Everyone wait for me to get off."

He first went to his room, then went to the dryer on the balcony and took out several people's shoes.

He walked into the living room with the shoes, walked past the three people and headed towards the entrance, while speaking to them.

"The shoes should be dried. Also, be careful on your way back."

Kita and Hongxia were both slightly stunned when they saw him holding their shoes. Their shoes indeed looked dry and clean.

The three of them followed Ishikawa Hayabusa's footsteps and walked towards the entrance.

After putting down his shoes, Ishikawa Hayabusa took out a few cards from his pocket.

"This is the door card here, everyone can come anytime..."

He hesitated suddenly and reminded again.

"Not at any time. It's better not to come after 9pm unless it's important. Also, even if you come, make loud noises to remind us."

When Hongxia heard Ishikawa Hayabusa's inexplicable words, she was stunned for a moment before she understood what he meant, and a surge of blood rushed to her cheeks.

“Who would come at night?”

But before she decided to accept it, Liang simply responded.

"Ah."

And took a card from Ishikawa Hayabusa.

Hongxia looked at it and wanted to stop it, but finally gave up.

Kita looked at Liang who had taken the card, and then looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa who still had two cards in his hand, and she said a little guiltily.

"Then I'm sorry to bother you later."

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and handed the last card to Hongxia. Hongxia hesitated for a moment, but still took the card.

...

Several people came here wet, but left the apartment feeling refreshed.

They took the umbrella that Ishikawa Hayabusa lent them, and when they went downstairs, Hongxia and Liang separated from Kita.

After saying goodbye to Kita.

Hongxia and Liang walked back, each holding an umbrella.

Walking on the wet and deserted street, they held umbrellas and walked through the water that was full of ripples from the rain.

Hongxia looked at her own figure in the rippling water and thought that if she had not come to Ishikawa Hayabusa's house, perhaps her mood would not be so chaotic.

But they could only wait in the station until now, and then walked back exhausted.

She couldn't tell which one was better.

But her heart preferred the current situation. Not only did her body feel relaxed, but the misty emotions of several people also clearly appeared before her.

The light and messy drizzle brought up my floating thoughts.

When Hongxia thought about their current relationship, she couldn't help but recall her first meeting with Ishikawa Hayabusa. She still remembered the spring scene at that time.

The boy, who had short hair at that time, walked towards her confidently and steadily and said.

"Hello, I just heard that you are planning to recruit members..."

A feeling came over me, as if a long time had passed and yet it seemed like it was just yesterday.

She hesitated for a long time before asking Liang, who was sitting under another umbrella.

"Ryo, why are you dating Hayabusa-kun?"

Liang turned to look at Hongxia. At this moment, she looked calm and thoughtful, and her golden eyes were very decisive.
