Chapter 08

Although it was unclear why Saki suddenly changed her mind and invited him to drink milk tea, Inumaki Saki quickly agreed.

Because he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

[Tuna Rice Balls Are the Best]: Where should we meet? I'll come find you.

Saki thought about it and felt that the one she went to last time seemed pretty good. At least she didn’t make any mistakes and it was also close by.

It seemed that when I met Goujuanji before, he was also nearby. At least that means he is not far away?

[Long Live the Striped Puppy]: Let’s go to the same store as last time and meet directly there.

[Tuna rice balls are the best]: Good, good.

Saki lowered her eyes and looked at their chat history, lost in thought.

Damn it, how come Gojuanji, a cool guy with afro hair, is even softer and cuter than her when chatting?

There are cute emoticons and "OK, OK" expressions.

She lost!

After school, Saki arrived at the meeting place.

She stood outside and looked inside, and it seemed that Gojuan Ji had not arrived yet.

For a moment, Saki was a little confused about whether to wait for him outside or inside.

I feel awkward no matter which one I choose...

If I'm waiting for someone outside, I always feel like I'm doing nothing and my intentions are ulterior. It's so embarrassing to wait in front of someone's store!

But if you go in, it seems like it would be a waste of time if you just wait there without ordering milk tea.

After hesitating for a while, Saki chose the latter.

Forget it, the latter should be easier to handle.

Saki went in and found a seat. When the waiter handed her the menu, she quietly explained, "I'm waiting for my friend. He hasn't arrived yet. I'll order later."

The other party smiled at her understandingly and said, "Okay."

Saki let out a breath and sent a message to Inumaki Saki, telling her that she was waiting inside the store and asked him to come in directly when he arrived.

The other party replied immediately.

[Tuna rice balls are the best]: Okay! I'll be right there.

[Long Live the Striped Puppy]: Don’t worry, be careful on the road.

I thought the topic had ended here, and Saki was about to log out to watch a video or something, but I saw the other party quickly reply.

[Tuna rice balls are the best]: Yeah, sure! [Line puppy spinning in circles.gif]

Saki looked at this emoticon pack and thought it was very good, so she stole it.

Then I also sent this emoticon package to the other party.

When she was about to leave, Goujuanji came back!

Saki: ...

Damn, is this some kind of competition?

The other party still replied with emoticons.

Saki has sharp eyes!

Although she didn't understand what kind of competition it was, she wouldn't lose anyway!

Then she sent meme A.

Gojuanji replied with emoticon pack B.

Saki sent emoticon pack C.

Dog Curl Thorn...

Wait, if this goes on, it will never end!

So Saki gave up and exited the chat interface.

Seeing that there were no more messages from the other side, Goujuanji put away his phone.

But after a moment, he took out his phone again and slid his fingertips through the previous chat history.

I always feel it is good progress.

He blinked his violet eyes, his expression softening.

Saki didn't have to wait too long, and soon Inumaki Saki came. He seemed to be running over from the station, and was still breathing slightly.

Saki was a little surprised, "You came here running?"

Inujuan Ji nodded slightly: "Salmon."

Saki gestured for him to sit down, "Don't worry, why are you running so fast?"

Gou Juanji: "Big mustard."

Saki looked at his scarf, which he hadn't pulled down even though he was breathing lightly, and pointed at it curiously, "You're not going to pull it down? Will it affect your breathing if it's blocked like this?"

Although scarves are definitely breathable, this is the same principle as masks, right?

Masks are also breathable and do not affect breathing, but it is best not to wear a mask during strenuous exercise such as running, otherwise it will cause breathing difficulties or even suffocation.

Saki was a little worried about Inumaki Saki.

After hearing what Saki said, Goumaki paused, "Boyuhua..."

Saki tilted her head.

Goujuan plucked his scarf with his thorny fingers, hesitated, and pulled it down a little.

His ears were red and he looked away uncomfortably.

In fact, he was not breathing so hard now, but when Saki asked this, Inumaki Ji still pulled down his scarf as she said, revealing his handsome face and the curse marks on both sides of his mouth.

The cool air swept over him, making him feel slightly uncomfortable.

Saki propped up her face and looked at it, then was surprised to find: "Although you are panting, your face is not red?"

Unlike her, when she was running sideways, not only was she panting like a broken bellows, but her face was also red, like a monkey's butt.

Inujuanji blinked and felt the heat on his face begin to rise.

“Salmon.”

Well, I don’t understand, but I feel like communication is easy and there’s surprisingly no pressure.

So Saki also said, "Salmon, salmon."

She continued her topic: "So you are the type who doesn't blush easily?"

is that so?

Inujuan Ji thought about it and nodded hesitantly.

Saki: “Amazing!”

Although she didn't know what exactly was so amazing about it, it was amazing anyway.

Saki handed him the menu, "Here, please choose milk tea."

Gojumaki took it and remembered that it was Saki who treated them, so he pointed to the most basic original milk tea, which was the same choice as last time.

Saki looked at it and asked hesitantly, "Is this really the only choice?"

Inujuanji nodded: "Salmon."

Saki was a little conflicted. "Yeah, but, um... please don't choose this just to save me money. Really, just order whatever you want to drink. I can still afford this."

Hearing her words, Goumaki opened his eyes slightly, then bent his eyes, "Muyuhua."

Saki looked at him and he seemed to be in a good mood.

What a strange person.

Saki: "What does Bokuyohana mean, rejection?"

Gojuan Ji nodded.

Saki: "Then I'll give you the original flavor?"

Inugami Ji nodded again.

So Saki chose the original flavor for him and chose another drink she wanted to try for herself.

When Zaoji handed over the menu, Inumaki Ji stretched out his hand.

Saki tilted her head, "What's wrong?"

Inujuanji typed on his phone: [I'll treat you to dessert.]

Isn't this the same as last time?

In this way, her invitation would be as good as no invitation at all!

Thinking of this, Saki vigilantly picked up the menu and held it in front of him, "No, no, no, no!"

Gojuanji opened his eyes in surprise, "Salmon?"

Saki looked conflicted, "I'm the one treating you, so no!"

Inumaki Ji was also a little conflicted, but seeing how anxious Saki was, he gave up.

Seeing that the other party did not insist, Saki finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Inujuanji typed: [It's nothing, actually. Desserts aren't expensive.]

After a pause, he added: [I am very rich.]

There is no such thing as a poor sorcerer.

Of course, this does not include those who desperately buy spell tools.

After seeing the words on the other person's phone screen, Saki felt jealous.

Damn, rich people are so great!

She held her heart, which was as sour as a lemon, and tried to keep her tone calm.

"No, I said no, that's all."

Goujuanji hesitated for a moment and then gave up.

The drink was quickly prepared and served. Saki picked up the straw and skillfully pierced the lid of the milk tea. "You drink too."

Inujuan Ji nodded.

Then the two of them sat facing each other and drank in silence.

The main reason was that they were not familiar with each other, and there was also the communication barrier, so Saki didn't know what to say to him.

She has Schrödinger's social anxiety. In short, she is a little socially anxious at this time.

But after thinking about it, even if there was something true, Inumaki Ji couldn't say it out (it seemed like he was bullying him). Well, thinking about it this way, I didn't feel so nervous anymore.

So she took out her phone and started watching videos.

Saki came across a funny pet video and watched it with the volume turned down.

There was an unstoppable smile on the corners of her lips, and she couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw something particularly funny. However, she was careful to control the volume, but the smile on her face was already an uncontrollable arc.

Goujuanji lowered his head and bit the straw, and secretly looked up when the other person was concentrating on looking at the phone.

Saki didn't notice him, so Inumaki Saki relaxed a little and let his eyes fall on the girl opposite.

The other person's long black hair was draped softly behind her, her light pink eyes were fixed on the phone screen, and there was an undisguised smile on her cute face.

In short, it's very cute.

Goujuanji withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes.

Although he didn't mind what Saki watched or did, because he wanted to understand her thoughts better, Inumaki sent her questions after she finished watching the video.

【Is this a funny video? 】

Saki blinked, feeling guilty, as if she had ignored the other person.

Although that is indeed the case.

Saki said, "Yeah, it's one of those funny pet videos. It's quite entertaining."

After a pause, she asked, "Do you want to see it?"

Inujuan Ji nodded.

Saki: "I'll send you the video."

Inujuan Ji felt a little lost.

He thought... the other party would watch it with him.

Goujuanji received a video sent by the other party on his mobile phone and clicked it to view it.

Saki had nothing to do, so she drank milk tea while observing the situation on Inumaki's side.

Speaking of which, ever since she met Inugami Ji, the other party didn't seem to have any major changes in expression, as if he was very calm.

Facial paralysis? Probably not. She seemed to have seen him with a softer expression. And before, he would even squint his eyes.

That means being naturally calm.

I don’t know if you will laugh when you see this funny video.

Saki was curious.

At this time, Goujuanji's attention was no longer on the video.

Because he noticed Saki's gaze.

Goujuanji couldn't help but stiffen up, and the temperature on his ears began to rise.

The funny video flashed before his eyes but failed to leave any impression. Goujuanji only felt his heartbeat slowly speeding up.

The sound on the phone paused and the video ended.

Saki was a little confused: "Isn't this... funny?"

Why doesn't he smile at all?

Gou Juanji pulled his neck uncomfortably, not daring to look up.

"Boyu flower."

It's not that it wasn't funny, it's that he didn't get it at all.
