Zhao Sun sat down, carrying the food she had brought.
Ma Jiaojiao sat opposite him.
The cafeteria was a little quieter than usual on Fridays.
There were empty seats all around them.
But that's alright.
Compared to noise, Zhao Xun would certainly prefer a quiet atmosphere.
"Thanks, senior, for coming to dinner with me."
Ma Jiaojiao's eyes curved into a smile beneath her black-rimmed glasses.
Zhao Xun rested her chin on her hand, glanced at the empty seat on the other side, and then clicked her tongue lightly:
"Tsk..."
In fact, after Ma Jiaojiao invited him...
Fatty Hao and Liu Jie were taken aback at first, then their expressions changed to one of understanding.
The two of them shouted "Nigee Ludayo, Nigee Ludayo" together and quickly became very wet.
Although Chen Wei didn't understand what it meant, he still quickly followed.
There was absolutely no time for Zhao Xun to react.
As for the girls, Chu Chu's eyes widened:
"Ma Jiaojiao, damn it—"
Before she could finish speaking, Wang Jue covered her mouth and pulled and pushed her away from the scene, all the while trying to persuade her:
"Chu Chu, please don't do this, please don't do this..."
Zhao Xun and Ma Jiaojiao were left behind alone.
However, even so, Zhao Xun was able to reject this big girl.
Can…
Why did it evolve into what it is today?
Zhao Xun looked utterly bored, as if he were chewing on his breath, whether he was telling the truth or just making an excuse was unclear.
He said with a hint of mockery:
"I'm afraid that if I say I don't want to, some people will start crying again."
This is a sarcastic jab at Ma Jiaojiao's previous claim that she had shed several kilograms of tears.
Unexpectedly, Ma Jiaojiao showed no anger or resentment. She simply used her chopsticks to gently separate a small amount of rice and calmly nodded.
"You're pretty easy to handle, senior. All you have to do is cry."
"You fucking—"
Ma Jiaojiao interrupted Zhao Xun's foul-mouthed spellcasting, her eyes narrowed, and her lips curved into a "V" smile:
"Senior, what do you think of the Ace Attorney series I recommended? How many chapters are you on?"
“…Third,” Zhao Xun said.
He paused for a moment, originally intending to find fault.
However, considering that finding fault with a work because of a recommender was somewhat tasteless and even disrespectful to this excellent work, Zhao Xun still spoke his true thoughts: "...It's good. You're right, I shouldn't have underestimated it. Capcom is a game company that makes more than just action games."
“The third chapter is ‘The Great General Who Reversed the Tide’… What a coincidence, I’m also currently rereading this chapter,” Ma Jiaojiao said.
She had played Ace Attorney before and thought it was very good—otherwise she wouldn't have recommended it to this senior anime fan from the anime club.
But back then... it must have been when I was in junior high school, playing it on an old GBA handheld console I borrowed from a classmate.
Having endured the grueling ordeal of high school, I've long forgotten the plot and all that.
The only comment I remember is "great".
That day, when we were chatting in the anime club's group chat, someone posted a picture of "judge's gavel banging on the table.jpg" followed immediately by a picture of "guilty.jpg".
The group of longtime homebodies immediately started talking about the game.
Ma Jiaojiao chimed in a few words, but since they hadn't been in contact for a long time, she seemed a bit dazed.
Zhao Xun, who rarely posts in the group, also shared his thoughts on the game.
—I haven't played it.
This surprised Ma Jiaojiao, who immediately launched into a barrage of questions.
[Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!]
[Remember to play]
[Just checked, it's the lowest price ever now, the trilogy is only 49 yuan!]
[You won't lose out if you buy this!]
【How about I buy you a set?】
[Just consider it a form of missionary work]
Zhao Xun: "...Never mind, I'll buy it myself."
Although he didn't think highly of Ma Jiaojiao's intelligence.
However, this girl has pretty good taste; she even liked the old anime she mentioned, such as "The Vanishing" and "Kaichou wa Maid-sama!".
Since he had nothing else to do, he ordered "The Reversal Trilogy".
"Mayoi is so cute.jpg"
Ma Jiaojiao said to Zhao Sun, "When I rewatched it, I still found Maya cute."
Mayoi refers to Ayari Mayoi, the female protagonist in "Reversal," who is a psychic.
“Yes.” Zhao Sun nodded in agreement.
"Moreover, since the memories of playing before have been erased, this time it's like playing all over again."
Ma Jiaojiao added, "When the male protagonist said, 'Objection! I still have evidence,' the judge in the game was surprised, 'What? He still has evidence!' The jury was also surprised, 'What? He still has evidence!' I, the player, was also surprised, 'What! I still have evidence!?'... It's kind of funny."
“In situations like this, we have no choice but to show our lawyer’s badge,” Zhao Xun said casually.
"Hahaha, senior, so you actually got it." Ma Jiaojiao laughed heartily.
Ma Jiaojiao is a very lively and cheerful girl.
This was the impression Zhao Xun had of her when she was recruiting new members for the group.
After that, the two had little contact and hardly ever chatted in private.
What followed were those few chance encounters downstairs in the second dormitory building. She always had a bitter face, looking like she was about to cry but couldn't.
Therefore, Zhao Xun felt that this girl must be sensitive and fragile, mentally challenged and stupid.
I almost forgot how radiant her smile was when I first met her.
And now, I've recalled them all again.
Zhao Xun didn't dislike communicating with Ma Jiaojiao like that.
She watches a wide variety of things, including both new and old anime series, and some are so obscure that Zhao Xun has only ever heard of them.
