Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Page 597

Sakuraba smiled slightly at the moon.

"No? Do you want to get close to someone on the street?"

Don't tell me yet.

Originally, Oreki Gen wanted to walk and stroll with this girl a little longer, experience the lively atmosphere before the New Year, and enjoy the joy of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new like everyone else.

But there are just too many people!

No matter whether it is a shop, a grocery store, or even a vending machine, there are always countless people crowding in front of it.

It seemed as if all the people in Sakura City showed up on this day. One could even see Prisman already managing order on the street that was jammed with cars like a toilet that hadn't been unblocked for ten years.

That’s right, in occasions with so many people, such as shopping, you can’t enjoy the New Year atmosphere at all. What you can feel is the constant jostling and you may even be stepped on countless times.

"I'll listen to you this time."

Oreki Gen let out a sigh.

There are some things that even Superman can't do. With so many people...we need people from our homeland to come.

Oreki Xian hugged the girl, almost protecting her, and carried her to the elevator of the building as if he were a knight.

As the floors go up, the numbers become more and more exaggerated, and naturally, the number of people visible becomes less and less.

After all, here, the high floors that overlook the most prosperous night view of Sakura City are actually the more expensive floors, and both the rent and consumption standards are rising.

Basically, once you reach a certain floor, it has nothing to do with ordinary people. There are bars, high-end restaurants, and even nightclubs that seem hidden and unknown in society, but are crowded with a group of high-ranking and powerful people.

As the elevator opened, the extraordinary nature of this floor was revealed as soon as we reached the corridor. The floor was not just covered with simple tiles, but also a layer of soft carpet.

The warm air blowing in your face can make you forget the coldness of winter immediately.

The dim corridor is filled with ambiguous light, which is in line with the style of the bar.

Taking Oreki Xian into this dimly lit bar where not all lights were on, it was exceptionally quiet inside. In fact, one could occasionally hear people talking, but it was obvious that in order to fit the temperament of this bar, the conversations seemed extremely soothing.

The feeling I gave Oreki String...how should I put it.

It was as if the poor boy from the country suddenly entered the upper class society.

I'm actually a little bit not used to it.

Sakuraba Mizuki, who was dressed in accordance with this style and even looked superior, was wearing high heels and holding Oreki Gen's hand.

She looked up.

"What? Are you getting nervous?"

Oreki Gen smiled.

"It's my first time in a place like this, and I'm not allowed to be nervous?"

In fact, it’s okay. I’m not that panicked. After all, it’s enough to make sure that no one will look down on me because of the girl next to me. Besides, what does other people’s opinions have to do with me?

If he is really just a young boy, then there might be reason to be angry.

But I am a handsome man in Sakura City who lives on the edge of a knife every day...

When Sakuraba Mitsuki heard him say this, she knew that the boy was actually very calm, but she still held the boy's hand.

"It's okay, just stay with me."

"Ah."

Soon, a neatly dressed waiter came to serve them respectfully and took them to a booth by the window.

This location is right opposite the towering tower, and you can overlook the most beautiful night view of Sakura City.

The lights are like the stars in the Milky Way, colorful and dotted.

This flickering "star map" is like the various aspects of life.

At first glance, it seems like a beautiful landscape that can make people understand something instantly.

Sakuraba Mizuki said with a smile.

"How is it? Is the scenery here pretty good?"

Oreki Gen nodded and looked at the other person.

"Well, I've never had any doubts about your aesthetic taste."

"Is it?"

"Of course, whether it's your usual outfit, the criteria for choosing a date place, or your vision for choosing a boyfriend, they are all the best."

Sakuraba Mizuki couldn't help but laugh.

"Can you please stop flattering yourself about everything?"

Oreki Gen replied as a matter of course.

"You don't like to praise me anyway, so why don't you allow me to praise myself?"

"Is it possible that there is really nothing worthy of praise about you?"

"Impossible, that must be because you still lack the eyesight to discover my extreme beauty."

"Good for you."

Oreki Xian took the photos with his mobile phone, not to send them to WeChat Moments. He hadn’t posted anything in a long time, and he was not the type of person who liked to share his life with people he was not close to.

Just to send photos and addresses to two girls in the group who hadn't arrived yet.

By the way, the above sentence.

[Please hurry up a bit. The closer it gets to New Year's Eve, the harder it will be to walk. 】

Sakuraba Mitsuki ordered two cocktails first.

I didn’t choose a high-alcohol drink because the night is long and I need to enjoy it slowly.

Oreki Gen looked at the bag that Sakuraba Mizuki brought with her. It was bulging, as if it was filled with a lot of things.

Oreki asked with a smile.

"Have you prepared a gift?"

Sakuraba Jianyue hummed softly and raised the wine glass elegantly.

"After all, someone has begged me so earnestly before, I can't be so unkind, right?"

"So what are you going to give me?"

Oreki Xian couldn't help but feel curious.

After all, it was a bit hard to imagine what this girl would give him. Although she was very rich, she would definitely not be so tacky in treating him, and Oreki Gen didn't need her to give him any expensive items.

Even if you give him a so-called branded item, he will just leave it at home and collect dust. He won’t sell it, nor will he want to wear it on himself to show off.

Sakuraba Jianyue smiled mysteriously.

"It will be more interesting to announce it together with them. Don't try to sneak in this time. It's better to tell me what you are going to give as soon as possible, so that I don't want to be laughed at by them when I take it out later."

Oreki Gen also looked very relaxed, even more at ease than this girl.

"Don't worry about that. I promise that the gifts I bring out will be unique."

Oreki Gen certainly has this confidence.

After all... every weekly sign-in gives a lot of special little things, and I also carefully selected them.

If he hadn't been afraid of causing a huge sensation in society, he would have sold them long ago.

"Really? What if I'm disappointed?"

Sakuraba Mitsuki thought that the other party was just bluffing, but... the strange thing was that she couldn't help but believe in this young man who could always create miracles and always exceeded her expectations.

Oreki Gen smiled indifferently.

"If you're disappointed, you can do whatever you want with it."

"That's what you said."

"Of course, I lied to you when."

"It should be that you have never lied to me."

"..."

The first member of the Human Ultimate Division to arrive is...

"Phew~ There are so many people here. It took us a bit of time, but you booked such a luxurious bar. You are worthy of being Sakuraba-san~"

Sayuri Yukino is wearing something particularly pink today.

The pink shawl in Chanel style and the high-necked sweater underneath highlight her beautiful and well-proportioned figure. Her legs are wrapped in white stockings and the short skirt reveals her youthfulness despite her age.

It seemed that the long golden hair had been specially permed and dyed, and had a slightly curly feel.

Wearing a red and white beret.

She looks like a 2D anime heroine, with a dreamy feeling as if she walked out of a comic book.

When Sakuraba Mitsuki saw Sayuri Yukino coming with a larger bag, she sneered.

"Senior is dressed very differently today."

Sayuri Yukino seemed not to understand the other party's implication and just smiled.

"After all, today is a special day, so of course I have to dress up carefully~ Sakuraba-san is really beautiful and noble."

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

But there wasn't much sincerity in his expression.

Sayuri Yukino didn't care either. She just looked at Oreki Gen and said with a smile.

"Why don't you see Ran-chan?"

Oreki Gen frowned.

"She didn't come with you?"

Sayuri Yukino shook her head.

"She didn't contact me, and she didn't reply to my message."

"is it?"

Oreki Gen thought for a moment, then took out his cell phone and called the other party, not caring that Sakuraba Mitsuki was staring at him opposite him.

After all, they haven't arrived yet. It would be bad if something unexpected happened. After all, there are people everywhere outside. Any accident at this time would be more dangerous than at any other time.

The call was put through.

"Hello? Where have you been?"

Oreki Gen asked.

And there came a faint and somewhat stuck sound from the other side.

"I... there are so many people on the street..."

"Hey, speak more clearly, I can't hear you clearly."

"I said I was... on the street... there were so many sushi... ah!"

Suddenly, the phone was hung up.

When Oreki Gen wanted to call again, he found that there was no signal at all.

"what happened?"

Oreki Gen couldn't help but feel a little anxious, as if the other party had encountered something.

But there was no signal.
