Chapter 261 Six Villains

Aiko started working in this new store last week. Most of the time she is working behind the counter as a front desk clerk. Only when there are many customers will she need to take on the role of a waitress.

Aizi likes her new job very much. Although it can be boring sometimes, such a peaceful life is really a blessing for her.

The wind chimes in front of the door rang, and Aiko looked over with a brilliant smile: "Welcome!"

The first person to enter was a handsome boy with black hair and red eyes. He seemed to be wearing the same outfit as the model on the cover of last week's fashion magazine? It must be said that when he wore it, Aiko actually felt that he looked better than the cover model, but he looked like a high school student... She remembered that she was still working part-time, and silently gave up the idea of ​​chatting him up.

It's a sin, it's a sin. I can't be distracted from work and hit on a high school student's brother.

Aiko couldn't help but look behind the boy again, because she knew that male high school students rarely came to the dessert shop alone, and he would probably be accompanied by some friends.

Then, she saw another handsome man with medium-long hair who had an outstanding appearance and temperament, and even a height that made people look up to him, and who seemed to have a great figure.

Aiko took a deep breath, regretting that she had met the handsome guy while working part-time, and that this kind of brother-and-brother combination was quite rare.

She straightened her attitude, led the two to a seat, and enthusiastically recommended the store's signature dessert to the boy: "If you are with two people, you can choose this cake! The taste is well received, and the portion is not too large, it is perfect for two people to share."

What is special about their shop compared to other places is that the cakes in their shop are basically sold whole. Therefore, most of them are made very delicate and small to cater to the appetite of mainstream customers. To be honest, they are almost the same as a normal slice of cake.

After all, the mainstream customers are basically high school girls from the neighborhood, and the desserts they can accept are not large in size. The one recommended by Aiko is bigger than the others. This is also considering that there are two men in front of them who seem to have a big appetite but are easily tired of sweets. A cake that is too big for JK is probably just right for them.

While thinking this, Aiko saw the half-long-haired young man opposite her look helpless for a few seconds, and the young man pointed at the cake she recommended on the menu and nodded calmly: "Then I want two, and a cup of coffee jelly... um, and apple juice."

…Or should we decide to give each of them one? It seems that this customer is the type who is more fond of sweets. Aiko thought about it.

Then, she heard the half-long-haired young man, Hagiwara Kenji, groan for a moment and said, "Then I'll order one to try. Miss, except for the cake, everything else is the same as his."

Aiko's smile froze and she confirmed, "So, you two ordered three signature cakes?"

Eh? Eh? So the boy ate the two cakes he ordered by himself?!

Kenji Hagiwara could see that the waitress was confused, but he couldn't explain it. Just at this moment, the door of the dessert shop was pushed open again. Kenji Hagiwara's eyes lit up and he called out, "Here, Xiao Zhenping!"

Then he turned to the waitress and smiled, "Sorry, there are four other people here, please give them the same one as mine."

After recording the table's orders, Aizi walked away in a daze.

She only had two thoughts in her mind: How could that handsome boy be good at anything? He clearly just loves sweets! And, do all the handsome guys appear in groups?

But come to think of it, why would this group of handsome guys refresh in a place like a dessert shop... It's hard to understand.

After Aiko left, the four people at the door finally sat down at their table after much hesitation. Akae Natsuki propped her face with one hand and looked out the window. Suddenly, she asked Hagiwara Kenji who was sitting opposite her, "You don't seem surprised at all."

"Hmm?" Hagiwara Kenji was still smiling, as if he didn't understand what he was saying. "I just think there's no need to be surprised. Everyone has their own food preferences. It's great that Nazuki likes sweets."

...Who asked you this!

Akae Nazuki sighed inwardly: Kenji-kun clearly knew what he was asking, but chose this angle to answer. If you insist, there is nothing wrong with it, but in fact, it is completely impossible to explain why Kenji Hagihara believed that he could finish two sweet cakes on their second meeting without asking.

Well, although Akajiang Nayue knew that her friend would answer like this, so she deliberately chose to ask this in front of other people.

As expected, after being reminded by his question, the other four people at the table fell into a state of deep thought to some extent.

Apparently, they also noticed the strange things that Kenji Hagiwara evaded in his words.

Chijiang Nayue, who caused this situation, did not intend to ask any further questions. He blinked slowly, and the sound of "oh" sounded a little prolonged, and the ending tone seemed light and floating.

"Is that so?" The young man yawned and said nonchalantly, "Hagiwara-kun is really friendly to strangers. No wonder he seems to be popular."

Jinpei Matsuda was sitting by the window, covering his face with his hands and shaking his shoulders. His face, which was covered by his hands, looked a little distorted because he was trying to hold back a smile.

Hagi has come to this day! What is being friendly to strangers and having good relationships? Doesn't he know that others can't see it? This guy obviously wants to take the initiative to make friends with this boy for unknown reasons.

Under normal circumstances, even Hagi would not so naturally follow a guy he met for the second time to have dessert. As a result, the other party misunderstood it as a habit that became natural due to good relationships.

Although it is not wrong, but... haha.

However, Furuya Rei, who happened to be sitting next to Akae Nazuki and could see the changes in Hagiwara Kenji's expression clearly, felt confused again.

Even though Akae Nazuki said that, Hagiwara Kenji didn't have any special reaction, and even looked a little... happy?

Not sure, let’s wait and see.

Furuya Rei glanced at Date Kou who was sitting next to Hagiwara Kenji again and found that except for the occasional distraction, his squad leader would subconsciously look at Akae Nazuki most of the time. A rare knotted expression appeared on his usually serious face, as if he wanted to ask something that he cared about.

How come even the monitor...

Morofushi Jingguang gently bumped into Yu Xunran's calf, and the next second, Furuya Ling received his private message on his phone.

[Zero, you're too conspicuous. Akae is watching you.]

……?

Furutani Rei suddenly realized that the gaze cast on him during his observation came from Akae Nazuki beside him.

Under normal circumstances, he would have noticed this immediately with his keen sense, but as soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but observe the strange reactions of his peers, and thus ignored the sight on himself, thinking that it was a passerby who was watching him.

Because of his hair and skin color, Furiya Rei was already accustomed to being secretly watched by others, not to mention that they were the most conspicuous table in this restaurant which was mostly attended by female customers.

Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but what was even stronger than the embarrassment was his growing confusion.

I can't stand it anymore. What's going on with these people? Did they know each other before? Are they pretending to meet for the first time? Furuya Rei is having a headache.

So what does this have to do with him? Why is Akae staring at him? Please turn around and look at Hagiwara and the class leader who are staring at you...

…

After Ai Zi had brought the dishes on the table one by one with great difficulty, he was speechless.

The atmosphere at this table is really weird!

The guest who seemed to have a particular fondness for sweets was eating the cake attentively. His cold and indifferent expression softened the moment he put the cream in his mouth.

He looked really happy while eating. After returning to the counter, Aiko took a few glances at him and couldn't help wondering if his cake was better than the others.

The young man with medium hair sitting opposite to this customer was watching the boy eat the cake. He was so happy that he could see little flowers popping up around him.

The serious customer next to the half-long-haired customer also glanced at the boy from time to time, but after taking a bite of the cake, he opened his phone and sent a message to someone unknown...

"Is the squad leader chatting with his girlfriend?" The guest who had a pair of slanted eyes but looked like a cat asked curiously.

"Well, the cakes in this shop taste very good. I'm thinking about bringing Natalie here next time." The guest, who was called the monitor, replied with a hearty laugh.

Oh, it turns out you were messaging your girlfriend.

But are you serious? If you have a girlfriend, why don't you go out with her on your day off and go to a dessert shop with your friends?

After hearing this, the guest who asked the question also took a bite of the cake with interest. His eyes seemed to light up and he exclaimed, "Indeed, it is very sweet, but it is not too greasy."

Ha, there's someone here who comes to the dessert shop to taste the desserts carefully, and it looks like he wants to learn how to make them.

Aiko's heart, which was initially beating fast because six handsome men with different styles came into the store at once, was rapidly cooling down. She silently shifted her gaze to the remaining two people, and her girlish heart tried to struggle.

The curly-haired guest sitting next to the serious guest seemed to have no interest in either the cake or the coffee jelly. He simply pushed his portion of jelly to the boy sitting at the outermost position. He seemed to have not noticed the shocked and accusing look of the semi-long-haired guest at all. His attitude throughout the whole process seemed to be a matter of course, as if he had just done something very normal.

Then the curly-haired guest lowered his head and started fiddling with his phone.

Customer, look up! The customer with medium-long hair is looking at you with a complicated look, as if to say, "Why am I one step slower than you and can do this?"

Hey, don't do that? Why did you push the coffee jelly to the young customer? Do you really want to feed it to him or do you just not like it?

Aiko's gaze shifted to the last person.

The blond mixed-blood handsome guy peeked at the boy less often than the half-long-haired customer, and his eyes were much more concealed, looking very professional. ... Is your profession for peeking? And while secretly observing, he was actually typing blindly on his phone, so busy? !

Can't you be a normal handsome guy?

Just as Aiko had this thought, she heard the sound of a fork touching the bottom of a plate. The boy had finished one piece of cake and was about to move on to the second one.

After noticing her gaze, the boy glanced in her direction casually. Perhaps because the cake she recommended was very much to his taste, the boy politely glanced at her before turning back and continuing to eat his cake happily.

...Your smile is so beautiful, so I forgive you, full marks!

Aiko covered her face and thought about it. Then she heard the wind chime at the door again. She smiled reflexively and looked over: "Welcome - ah!"

The people who came in from outside were not guests, but three men with extremely fierce looks. The leader had a gleaming dagger in his hand pointing at her.

"Put your hands where I can see them." The man in the front said grimly, "You'd better not try to do anything tricky, otherwise you will all be blown to death."

Looking back, he saw that his accomplice standing behind him had a square object with a countdown ticking around its waist.
