Realizing this, Wu Tina hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up her courage and went over.
As expected.
When Lorraine, who was not far away, noticed her approaching, he immediately showed a delighted expression and stood up to wave to her.
【Oh, so you were waiting for me after all?】
Wu Tina was somewhat relieved that she hadn't chosen to take a detour because of her social anxiety; otherwise, the other person would have been sitting there alone until dark, unable to wait for her.
Thinking about it that way, it's actually quite pitiful.
——
When the distance between the two people shortens to face-to-face.
With a warm and friendly smile, Lorraine personally handed the lunchbox to the other person with both hands and thanked them.
"I've been waiting for you. Thank you for the bento. It's the most delicious bento I've ever eaten in the world."
"Huh???"
Does that mean her bento box is the best-tasting in the world?
This is way too exaggerated!
Wu Tina felt a little embarrassed, but she took the bento box from the other person and replied with a slightly happy tone, "Actually, it's just a very ordinary bento box, no need to praise it to that extent."
No, I'm serious.
Is he serious?!
Is her bento box really that delicious?
She's been eating it for so many years, how come she never noticed?
If Mom heard this, she would be very happy, after all, her homemade bento was praised as the best bento in the world.
That's what Wu Tina thought.
——
Lorraine's voice rang out again.
"I have thoroughly cleaned the lunchbox, and now it is being returned to its rightful owner."
"It doesn't have to be so formal. I thought you would throw it away after you finished eating it."
"You've been using this lunchbox for quite a while now, haven't you?"
"Ah, yes, it has indeed been used for quite a while."
Wu Tina has always loved this lunchbox and has been using it for several years.
I vaguely remember that this lunchbox was given to her by her mother.
So I've been using it ever since.
Lorraine smiled and replied after hearing her words.
"Then we can't throw them away. Every old object carries many unique memories, whether good or bad. I think they are all very important. It would be better to return them to you as much as possible."
"Thank you."
Seeing her things treated with such care and respect, Wu Tina was truly happy.
Perhaps, this man wasn't as bad as she had imagined.
The reason I got into a fight with someone in the first place.
It must be due to many special reasons, right?
That's what she thought.
——
"Since the item has been returned to its rightful owner, I won't bother you any longer. Have a nice day, goodbye."
After delivering the bento boxes.
Lorraine finished speaking, left with a friendly smile, and turned to leave.
But just then...
As Wu Tina watched the figure prepare to depart into the sunset, she suddenly reached out as if to call out, "Um... please wait a moment!"
"Um?"
"Can you tell me... your name?"
"Huh?"
"Um... if it's inconvenient, then never mind, umm, I'm sorry..."
"Lorraine, that's my name."
“Lorraine…”
Mai Tina repeated the name to herself, her eyes reflecting the other person's smile. She became bolder and smiled back, replying, "Hira Mai Tina, this is my name. Nice to meet you."
Lorraine remembered it too.
"Then we'll meet again, Miss Wutina."
Will we ever meet again?
"It's not good to get involved with someone like me."
"Mr. Lorraine... is he a bad person?"
What do you think?
"I don't think a bad person would wash the lunchbox so clean before returning it to me."
"It's always better to be a little more wary of strange men, Miss Wutina."
That's all I have to say.
Lorraine's steps ceased, and under the setting sun, she gradually walked away, disappearing from Tina's sight.
Looking in the direction the other person had left.
Wu Tina stood there blankly, the other person's gentle voice echoing in her mind, feeling a little strange.
——
Just then.
She accidentally shook the lunchbox in her hand and heard something rattling inside.
"Um?"
Is there something else inside the lunchbox?
She was curious.
I casually opened the lunchbox that I had regained and then lost. The moment I opened it, I found two chocolate energy bars that looked like they were from a convenience store lying inside.
There was also a small note next to it.
The handwriting above is clear, and it contains this short line of text.
Wishing you a pleasant life, kind lady.
He stared at the small piece of paper in his hand.
I don't know why...
Wu Tina couldn't help but laugh out loud. It seemed that the other party had also left her a small gift as a thank you, which suited her perfectly well since she was starving.
Pick up one of the chocolate energy bars, open it, and put it in your mouth.
Um……
It's delicious.
For the first time, she found the chocolate energy bars sold in convenience stores to be so delicious and leave a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth.
...
...
[End of flashback]
——
Thinking back to the first time the two met.
Even Wu Tina couldn't help but sigh. Four months had passed in the blink of an eye. Time really flies. She clearly remembered that for several days afterward, every time she ate with that lunchbox, she would think that it was a lunchbox that a man had used, and then she would fall into a strange feeling of shyness.
