I refuse to be a plagiarist

Looking at Hasegawa Hide who suddenly appeared behind her, at this moment, the girl's originally calm heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

——Could it be that he has another identity that he hasn't investigated yet? !

He forced himself to suppress the alertness that was about to appear on his face.

At this time, looking at the silent girl in front of him, Hasegawa Hide also felt a little helpless:

"I thought I was being too sentimental, but I didn't expect that there really was someone secretly watching an ordinary high school student like me in the corner...

This lady.

Now that things have come to this, shouldn’t you introduce yourself?”

Staring at each other intently.

Relying on the experience gained from fighting wits and courage with various bad boys when he was a child, he was keenly aware of the feeling of being secretly observed when he was in the store just now.

So after buying things and walking out of the store, Hasegawa Hide first left under the cover of the crowd on the street, and then secretly went around and hid in the alley next to the store.

Then... he caught this mixed-race girl in front of him who looked not much different from him.

【etc! 】

[A mixed-race girl?...]

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to my mind.

Then, without waiting for Hayasaka Ai's answer, Hasegawa Hide asked tentatively with a slightly strange look on his face:

"I'm not sure, but could you be Miss Hasaka?"

"..."

[What a sharp-minded guy! ]

I complained quietly in my heart.

Then, under the gaze of Hasegawa Hide, Hayasaka Ai, who was exposed on the spot, nodded silently with some helplessness.

I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

After getting the girl's answer, Hasegawa Hide, who was originally on guard and ready to subdue the opponent and "finish the job", also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a bit strange, but...

[I'm not being followed by some weird guy. This... is really great! ]

Chapter 43: The unexpected meeting

In silence, the two people's eyes merged into a line in mid-air.

As this was their first offline meeting, the situation seemed a little awkward.

Whether it is for Hayasaka Ai or Hasegawa Hide........

The former was caught red-handed while acting covertly and was put in a passive position, while the latter was not much better off.

——What the hell is this?

The expression on his face was full of weirdness.

The behavior of the mixed-race girl in front of him reminded Hasegawa of those online dating contestants.

For various reasons, they did not choose to sing the praises of youth in reality, but chose a virtual platform like the Internet to provide a buffer opportunity for each other.

However, the reason why online love is different from real-life love is because of the existence of "online scams" and "death in the light".

After all, it's on the Internet. By using technological means and the existence of information asymmetry, everyone can freely fabricate their own "personality".

As a result, when online dating contestants have been showing off their love online and meet in real life, there are often some hilarious "famous scenes" that make people laugh and cry.

To give a similar but not completely accurate example, that is Grandma Qiao Biluo, who uses Kanna's profile picture, calls herself an "18-year-old beautiful girl", and cheats on food and drink on the live broadcast platform...

Never leave its origins.

To put it simply, it is probably the sharp gap caused by the conflict between the yearning for beauty and the cruel reality.

Therefore, when it comes to the stage of meeting in real life, many smart online contestants have come up with the tactic of "staking out in advance and observing secretly" to observe what their online dating partner is like.

Although judging whether the appearance is good or not is the main purpose, a considerable number of people will take this opportunity to observe other conditions of the other person's true side.

For example, what is his personality like, whether he is usually rude or polite...

This behavior is actually quite understandable.

After all, since the era of Meitu XiuXiu, the phenomenon of "photo fraud" has been emerging one after another on the Internet, so much so that nowadays even gender change has become a common "basic operation" because of some people.

But the problem is......

"If this is just a meeting between online friends, there's no need for you to go to this extent, right, Ms. Hasaka?"

The words were filled with an incomprehensible tone.

In Hasegawa Hide's opinion, although the two have known each other online for quite a long time, apart from sharing some interesting things that make each other feel relaxed, there seems to be no ambiguous topics at all.

After all, he himself never believed in online dating.

Ever since he learned about these methods, he has always treated those who claim to be beautiful girls on the Internet and take the initiative to chat with him as cute girls with big dicks and gay warriors.

The strange look made Hayasaka Ai stunned for a moment, and the next second she instantly realized that her previous actions were full of misunderstandings.

"Ahem...don't get me wrong, I'm just a little curious about what kind of person you are in real life."

He quickly began to explain.

But in the current situation, the girl's words sounded so...exaggerating to Hasegawa Hide.

[After all, you just want to secretly observe what kind of person I am, right?...]

Muttering quietly in my heart.

Looking at the fake smile on the girl's face, he sighed and pointed to the coffee shop nearby:

"Now that we've met, how about we take this opportunity to sit down and get to know each other briefly?

besides.......

We have known each other for such a long time, at least now, you don't have to deliberately act like you are trying to compromise."

".......oh."

After a moment of silence, the girl nodded slightly. Her face no longer had the previous eagerness, but turned cold and indifferent.

Following Hasegawa, I walked slowly towards the coffee shop.

But it only took her a few words, and compared to before, she now truly felt a sense of relief as if she had put aside her burdens.

【Interesting guy....】

Looking quietly at the back of the young man in front of him.

Objectively speaking, although she is not as dazzling as the eldest daughter in the school, Hayasaka Ai is indeed a beautiful girl with unique temperament.

Although she is a mixed-race, her appearance does not show a Western-style face like other mixed-race people. Instead, she is dominated by the unique beauty of Oriental people.

Generally speaking, boys of the same age will feel a certain amount of psychological pressure when communicating with such a person.

When she was in school, Hayasaka Ai had met many classmates like this.

But the Hasegawa Hide in front of him was calm and at ease from beginning to end.

It's not about self-confidence or anything else. After all, in Shuchiin Academy, where there are endless rich kids, there is always some people who are arrogant and conceited.

[By the way, isn’t this what I’ve been looking for? ]

It was like finding a ray of light in the endless darkness.

Hasegawa Hide's tolerance and care for his friends, which he showed inadvertently in his calmness, made this young lady, who had been living in high-pressure labor and intrigue, feel another kind of warmth besides her mother and Kaguya.

The iceberg-like expression showed a slight tendency to melt.

But when the two of them walked into the coffee shop and sat down face to face, she instantly returned to her cold, aloof face.

He waved to the waiter who was waiting nearby.

As Miss Shinomiya's personal attendant, he naturally has a lot of knowledge about coffee.

The various professional terms that came out of her mouth made the part-time waitress sweat profusely.

After choosing the drinks she wanted, Hayasaka Ai turned her inquiring gaze to Hasegawa who was sitting opposite her:

"Xiu, what about you?"

"Yeah, a cup of hot milk will be fine."

"..."x2

What greeted him were two gazes filled with silence and subtle emotions.

Faced with this sudden embarrassment, he remained calm as ever. Looking at the two girls' different faces, he even had an urge to laugh.

Is there anything wrong with liking to drink milk?

I am still in the stage of growing up, and the three elements of meat, eggs and milk are indispensable.

Compared to coffee and Western soy milk which have a terrible taste, he prefers the fragrance, practicality and simplicity of fresh milk.

After a long stare, compared to the fearless Hasegawa Hide, the story finally ended with the waitress fleeing in panic.

Looking at each other across the dining table.

Looking at this friend whom he met by chance on the Internet, Hasegawa smiled slightly and began to introduce himself in a gentlemanly manner...

Chapter 44: Hasegawa: I will definitely do it next time

Name, school, age, hobbies and interests......

These relatively common information, which is not usually exposed on the Internet, were revealed to Hayasaka Ai one by one through Hasegawa Hide's narration.

Just in time to stop further explanation.

He felt that if he continued to introduce himself, the originally friendly and relaxed atmosphere between the two of them would most likely change unknowingly.

After all, the two were just online friends meeting offline, not a blind date for older adults…

Seeing Hasegawa's words suddenly come to an end, Hayasaka Ai was stunned for a moment, and then she introduced her situation to the boy in front of her.

To be honest, she had already known about the things the other party had just said during her previous private investigation.

But looking at the other person's clueless expression, she couldn't just reply nonchalantly, "Ah, I already knew all this."

No matter from which angle you look at it, doing this is too hurtful.

But through the contact just now, the girl has also noticed Hasegawa Hide's sharp intuition and terrifying insight that seems to be a cheat.

So when Hasegawa introduced himself, the girl tried hard to maintain her usual icy face, and apart from nodding slightly in agreement, there was no other unnecessary expression.

".......In that case, Hasaka, you are also a student of Shuchiin Academy?"

Although she concealed the fact that she was a maid of a certain young lady, Hayasaka Ai did not hide anything from the boy in front of her about her school and her identity as a student.

So after learning about this, Hasegawa Hide showed a look of astonishment for a moment, and then gradually became somewhat clear.

Yes.

If they were not in the same school, the other party would not have known about Baiyin Yuxing, an unknown student in the same college.

“Just call me Hayasaka from now on.

The name Hasaka is usually used when I am working with foreign parties. In normal times, I still use this name more often. "

There was still no obvious emotion on his face.

Facing the girl's calm and composed look like a decayed grandfather, Hasegawa Hide, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

"Oh well.

By the way, Hayasaka, you too, from now on just call me Chief….”

"I'll just be the same as before."

"Forehead......"

"Why, is it inconvenient?"
