Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

The similarity is that both of them like this kind of food that goes well with wine.

"You're not going to drink again?"

Oreki Gen saw through the other party's purpose.

Qingye Baili said as a matter of course.

"Why not drink? Such a good thing happened and you don't have to go to class anymore. Is there any reason not to drink?"

Oreki Gen was not very interested in drinking, so he looked around.

"Nothing, I just think it's a bit cold to drink in this weather..."

"Then let's not drink beer, let's drink soju."

"...You are amazing."

Sure enough, in the world of wine lovers, no matter what external difficulties there are, they can be overcome.

Wine is dead, but people are alive.

When we entered the barbecue restaurant, there were quite a few people inside and the atmosphere was full of lively conversation.

Kiyono Yuri said with a smile.

"Do you know why these people are so happy?"

Oreki Gen said unhappily.

"It can't be because of drinking, right?"

"Of course, God wants humans to be happy, and alcohol is proof of that."

"Where did this twisted logic come from?"

"Wrong logic? This is obviously the truth, but you understand it or not."

The two found an empty seat against the wall and sat down.

Soon a waiter came and handed over the menu. Oreki Gen didn't have any food restrictions and didn't have any special preferences, so he left everything to Kiyono Yuri.

She had obviously been looking forward to it for a long time. She ordered the food very quickly and even asked for some soju.

"You really want to drink soju? Just beer."

Oreki Gen tried to comfort the other party.

He still remembered how he helped the drunk Qingye Liang back home some time ago. It was better that this young woman did not want a perfect replica.

Kiyono Yuri didn't seem to care at all.

"What's the point of beer? You're so young, you should be more enthusiastic and excited, otherwise I will look down on you."

"Why do I need you to respect me? I just need to respect myself."

Qingye Yuri snorted in dissatisfaction.

"You used to be able to drink whiskey with me, why are you becoming more and more timid?"

"That's only occasionally. When have you ever seen me drink alone? I'm not that fond of drinking."

"Really? But I think that nowadays there are more and more young people who like to drink."

"Nonsense, now young people's entertainment activities have become KTVs and bars, how can they not drink?"

Oreki Gen still prefers the life in Baishe Township.

Whether it is daytime, afternoon or night, there will be many friends playing together. Whether in the fields or in the ditches, there are countless laughters.

It seems that the neon lights of this bustling city are very gorgeous.

It seems that technology has made the quality of human life higher and higher.

But on the contrary, some simple and plain happiness is disappearing more and more, and it is difficult to find it back.

"You don't seem to like that kind of occasion?"

As they were talking, some grilled skewers and shochu at the right temperature were served one after another.

Oreki Gen shook his head.

"I don't like it very much. It's too messy and too noisy."

Qingye Lily is still a mischievous boy.

"If a guy like you goes to a bar or something, you probably don't even have to pay for the drinks, and there should be a lot of women willing to chat you up... oh, and maybe men too."

Oreki Gen rolled his eyes at the other person.

"Don't disgust me, I don't have this habit."

"But you are a very contradictory person, don't you think?"

"How to say?"

Kiyono Yuri held a skewer and thought for a while, then opened her red lips and took a bite.

"Look, you always say you're a scumbag. But you don't go to places like that to do things that scumbags like to do."

Oreki Gen looked at the other person with amusement.

"Is it possible that I have high standards? I don't like women who like to go there... Not to mention the quality is not that good either."

Hearing this, Qingye Yuri suddenly thought of something.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she first raised her glass to Oreki Gen.

Oreki Gen had no choice but to raise his cup and clink it lightly with the other person's.

He had just taken the drink and before he could swallow it he heard...

“So how’s my quality?”

"Puff! Cough cough cough."

A mouthful of old wine sprayed out directly.

Chapter 115: Disinfection

What is the quality of Qingye Lily?

To use a slightly outdated term to describe her, she is certainly a high-quality female.

It is the highest standard among pork belly.

It is the highest grade of Wagyu beef.

It seems a bit strange to describe it this way, but it is true that Qingye Yuri is quite attractive in front of any man.

In this barbecue restaurant alone, Oreki Xian could see countless men casting hidden or direct and bold glances at him, and some even couldn't help but secretly stare at him when they were sitting next to their girlfriends.

If there wasn't a high-quality man like myself sitting opposite her, many men would probably have been unable to resist the impulse to come forward and chat with her.

As for personality and some minor shortcomings...in fact, only Oreki Gen would find fault with them a little, or even remind them bluntly.

When a normal man meets a woman like this, he probably only has one thought in his mind.

What more bikes do you want?

But obviously, Kiyono Yuri's question at this time was not simply about asking about her own quality, nor was it about asking whether she was an excellent woman in Oreki Gen's heart.

Instead, it is mixed with not-so-hidden and ambiguous hints.

How many drinks have you had?

Oreki Gen coughed for a while, and Kiyono Yuri looked at him with embarrassment and anger.

"What do you mean? Is this question frightening you so much?"

Oreki Gen wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Why would you ask that suddenly? Aren't you here to talk about me? Your turn of events is too sudden."

Kiyono Yuri snorted softly.

"I just wanted to catch you off guard. Look at what a coward you are... The drink you just drank doesn't count. You didn't even drink it. You spit it all out."

"You are the one who is fussy."

Oreki Gen drank another glass. There was no other way. Drinking now seemed much safer than answering this question.

They drank a few more glasses, and the skewers were served one after another, creating a festive atmosphere.

Both of their faces were slightly blushed. Under the bright lights and in the lively atmosphere, Kiyono Yuri remembered something and looked at each other.

"By the way, it's New Year's Day, what are your plans?"

Such a familiar question.

If I remember correctly, Kikyo Rimi asked this during the day.

Of course, Oreki Gen noticed the way Kiyono Yuri pretended to be indifferent, but secretly glanced at him.

He acts as if it has nothing to do with him, yet he is trying to cover up the truth.

Oreki Gen naturally cooperated with the performance, picked up the skewers casually, and answered casually without seeming to think much about it.

"Oh, nothing much, just some New Year activities with the club... I heard they'll have to wait until New Year's Eve."

Hearing this, Qingye Yuri's eyes widened slightly.

From a distance, Oreki Gen seemed to hear something click.

Oh no, can I hear my own voice now?

"Y-really?"

"Well, we agreed on this a few days ago."

"What kind of club is this... They're organizing this kind of New Year activities? Don't the members of your club have other things to do during the New Year, like spending time with their families?"

Yuri Kiyono seems to be making a judgement on some unusual social situations.

Of course, if she knew what kind of 'dragons and phoenixes' there were in her club, she wouldn't have asked such a question.

"How many young people spend New Year's Eve with their families? This is normal..."

He just said it casually and didn't mean to imply anything.

But Kiyono Yuri thought of her own situation.

A mother who died unexpectedly, and a stepfather who nominally existed but whom he hadn't seen in many years.

It was at this time that she suddenly felt the loneliness and desolation that only adults experience.

Even though there was this young man in front of me, I was still swept away by the momentary loneliness.

Her face looked dejected.

He poured himself another full glass of soju.

Then whispered.

"Children nowadays think they will have plenty of time to spend with their families in the future, and they never think that every minute of a person's life is precious, and accidents are always around the corner."

She said this, then looked up and filled the cup, then refilled it again.

Seeing this scene, Oreki Gen obviously realized that his words had caused the other party to feel sad.

He frowned.

"Well, that's the truth, you are right."

Kiyono Yuri looked at Oreki Gen and smiled.

Her face, which was rosy due to the alcohol, now revealed a charming beauty.

But her smile made people feel a little distressed, as if under such light, she was not complete, but broken.

"You don't have to say this deliberately to comfort me. These words are just what I feel. I also know that many people who are immersed in sufficient or even overflowing happiness actually cannot feel happy."

Oreki Gen watched the other party raise his glass again, and he stretched out his hand, not to stop him.

Instead, he picked up the cup and clinked it with the other person's cup.

Even Qingye Yuri was stunned. After all, this boy who claimed that he didn't like drinking seemed to rarely clink glasses with her on his own initiative.

Oreki Gen drank the cup first, then spoke.
