Chapter 23
Saki was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicably at a loss.
"Eh? Did you agree to it because I was looking forward to it?"
Inujuan Ji blinked, a little confused, and his expression seemed to be asking "What else?"
Saki inexplicably felt that the residual heat from today's run had not yet dissipated, and now it was attacking her face again.
She subconsciously raised the menu in front of her to cover herself, "Since you said so, then I'll order it."
Dog Curl: "Salmon."
Behind the menu, Saki exhaled and calmed herself down.
What? This is just friendly mutual help. I just agreed to order a durian pizza for myself. Besides, she paid for it...so, so it's nothing at all.
After brainwashing herself like this, Saki slowly put down the menu.
She lowered her eyes to stare at the menu, flipping through it again and again.
Inujuanji has already selected the dishes.
He was not in a hurry, but raised his eyes and glanced lightly at Saki opposite him, and then lowered his eyes again.
...Tomorrow, there will be no running activity.
Saki-san's physical examination is over.
Thinking of this, Goujuanji couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips.
Although he was disappointed, he didn't let it show too much. After all, besides running, they now had many other topics and activities to share.
So it's okay.
Thinking of this, Gojuan Ji perked up a little.
Saki finished picking, "Alright!"
She composed herself and began to look forward to the main course of dinner.
The durian pizza was served.
Saki: “Wow—”
She couldn't help but move her toes under the table, looking forward to it.
“It tastes so good.”
Inujuanji blinked and nodded: "Salmon."
Saki pulled out her phone: "Please let me take a picture first!"
Goujuanji narrowed his eyes and took out his phone: "Salmon, salmon."
So the two of them took a nine-square grid photo before eating.
Saki: "I feel like a country bumpkin."
Goujuanji tilted his head, "Muyuhua."
Saki: "I'm starting."
She put on disposable gloves and broke off a piece of pizza. The rich aroma of durian filled the air.
Saki couldn't help but sniff, "It smells so good."
But she quickly realized that for those who don't like durian, this might be considered smelly. Although compared to fresh durian, durian-flavored snacks are certainly not as strong, they are still a bit strong.
So Saki asked, "Ah, is this smell too pungent?"
Goujuanji shook his head, indicating that it was okay.
He didn't dislike the smell.
Saki: "Do you want to try it?"
Goujuanji put on his gloves and nodded when he heard that.
The outer shell is crispy, and the inside is filled with sweet and melt-in-your-mouth durian filling.
“It’s delicious!”
Goujuanji lowered his eyes to look at the pizza in his hand, then pulled down his scarf and took a bite.
The curse pattern on his cheek moved slightly with his movements.
Seeing this, Saki asked: "How is it? Are you used to it?"
Inujuan Ji nodded: "Pickled fish roe."
Saki felt relieved.
The phone in my pocket was buzzing.
Goujuanji lowered his eyes and took it out with his other ungloved hand to take a look.
【Tokyo Jujutsu High School's first-year student mutual aid group】
[Panda]: Ji, what's up with your new status? [evil smile.jpg]
【Panda】: @刺
[Panda]: Hehe, hehe, are you going on a date with that person?
[Panda]: That’s great, this is youth.
[Maki]: Shut up, you're being so noisy.
[Panda]: Maki scolded me...! [Panda wipes tears.jpg]
[Hot Teacher]: Hmm? What's going on? Did Ji go on a date?
[Spicy Teacher]: @刺, please be sure to tell me the location.
Inugaki Ji: ...
He took his phone back and pretended he hadn't seen anything.
-
After eating, Saki couldn't help but collapse in the chair.
"Sure enough, the meal after exercise is the most delicious."
Inujuanji took this opportunity to lower his eyes and quickly replied to the messages in the group, then nodded slightly: "Salmon."
Then he hesitated: [Do you want to go back? ]
Saki touched her belly and said, "Yes."
So the two of them stood up.
When it was time to pay, Saki leaned over to Inumaki Saki and poked his arm. "How much did we spend? I forgot to calculate."
Because of the sudden close distance, Inumaki Ji felt a little uncomfortable, but he controlled his emotions well and did not let Saki notice.
[I haven't calculated it yet, you'll know in a moment.]
Saki: "Then you pay first, and then I'll give you the money?"
Goujuanji pursed the corners of his lips.
He knew that if he refused, Saki would definitely not agree...
So he had no choice but to nod.
When paying the bill, Saki secretly followed behind Inumaki Ji, wrote down the number, and couldn't help but click his tongue.
It’s so expensive.
Of course, it's not that expensive considering the consumption level of working people and adults, but Saki is a high school student with only pocket money!
So of course she would think it was expensive.
And it seems like I eat a lot... I pondered.
Saki subconsciously touched her pocket.
I don’t know if the remaining pocket money is enough.
Thinking this way, she made up her mind.
“Salmon?”
Saki came back to his senses and quickly caught up with Inumaki Saki, "I'm coming."
After walking out of the store, Saki rummaged through her schoolbag, then took out her small wallet and handed it to Inumaki, "Please be sure to accept it!"
At this time, a pair of passers-by passed by them and subconsciously looked over because of Saki's words.
"Look, look."
"Wow, it's actually a girl handing in her wallet."
"Pfft, what is this, household expenses?"
"Ah...you're indeed a young couple."
Saki: ...
The ears are red.
Wait, wait, what? No way!
What are they talking about!
Saki subconsciously said, "Don't, don't misunderstand!"
Inujuanji's long eyelashes hid the emotions in his eyes. He turned his head uncomfortably and looked away. "Salmon, salmon."
Saki: "Well... I feel like I don't have enough money to split the bill, so I just gave my entire wallet."
"Although I don't know if the remaining pocket money is enough."
Inujuanji's eyes fell on her wallet, and then he shook his head slightly: "Boyuhua."
I don’t know if his denial meant that he was refusing Saki to pay, or simply denying the question of “whether it’s enough”.
Saki: "No, 'Boyuhana'! Anyway...would you like to take a look first?"
Goujuanji hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the wallet.
So Saki breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed back to his side.
Yu Guangzhong saw Saki's figure. Goujuan Ji lowered his eyes and then restrained his emotions. He just took out a few bills from his wallet and then returned the wallet to Saki.
Saki: "Eh...that's obviously not enough, please give me some more."
Goujuanji: "Wooden fish flower."
He shook his head seriously.
Saki tilted her head, "Are you sure?"
Inujuki nodded, his purple eyes looking at her with seriousness.
Saki paused, subconsciously avoiding his gaze, and scratched her cheek: "Ah, so, if you think it's enough, then... well, that's enough."
She didn't know why, but she felt something was strange. In short, nothing was right.
Saki subconsciously moved away from Inumaki Tsuchiya.
Noticing her movements, Goujuanji lowered his eyes.
Saki: "Let's go back then?"
Dog Curl: "Salmon."
On the way back, Saki felt the fatigue starting to set in.
She sighed and complained in distress, "I over-exercised today. I'm definitely going to be super tired tomorrow, and my legs will be so sore I won't be able to walk."
After all, she has had physical examinations before and has experience.
Because when people walk, their legs are not straight, but slightly bent under the support of the knees. But it is this slight bend that will make the muscles that are already sore after running even worse.
The pain would make your knees go weak when you walk, and you would fall if you weren't careful. The only way to feel better is to be like a wooden man whose knees can't bend, and to move your legs straight like crutches.
Saki sighed.
Inujuan Ji listened to her complaints carefully and pursed his lips slightly.
He hesitated a little.
Given his personality, it would be difficult for him to express that thought, but...
Goujuanji stopped.
Saki looked over confused, "Huh? What's wrong?"
Goujuanji subconsciously clenched his hands in his pockets with some nervousness.
"Tuna...mayo?"
Saki tilted her head, "Hmm?"
Goujuanji: […Rubbing it in advance will make you feel much better the next day.]
Saki nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I thought so too. But—"
She smiled sheepishly, "Well, I'm lazy."
Saki argued, "Even though I'm massaging my legs, it's still physically demanding and tiring, and I won't see any immediate results—after all, my legs won't be sore until the next day. And, well, there's no progress bar or fatigue meter like in games, so it's hard to visually monitor the experience."
"It's normal to not want to continue for a few minutes."
Saki nodded affirmatively: "Yeah, that's normal!"
She sighed, "So I'll just leave it to fate the next day."
Goujuanji seemed to be struggling.
Saki asked in confusion, "Inugami-san? What's wrong?"
Goujuanji's ears were red, and his fingers were tapping on the screen as if he was typing, but he also deleted a lot.
Saki waited for him patiently on the side, not moving over to peek.
Eh? What on earth is making Inujuanjie so entangled?
Inugami: [...Or...I can help you...?]
Saki blinked.
But after handing the phone to Saki, Goumaki seemed to regret it. He was stiff and his hair was messy. His already messy hair became even messier. His purple eyes narrowed slightly and he looked panicked.
The blush on his ears spread to his cheeks, and he looked like he wanted to find a time machine immediately.
"Tuna mayonnaise... bonito flakes, mentaiko, bonito flakes, bonito flakes...!"
I don’t understand!
"Anyway, calm down, Gojumaki-kun!"
But Inumaki Ji was obviously finding it difficult to remain calm. He was even a little flustered and was still bowing to Saki to apologize.
Saki: Huh?
"It's not a big deal, you just wanted to give me a leg massage...?"
Saki fell silent and blinked.
Eh, eh? ! !
