Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

"Xiaoxue! Look!"

Yuigahama excitedly raised her cell phone and showed the screen to Yukinoshita.

The two of them sat face to face across the dining table. Yuigahama knew that the screen of the mobile phone was relatively small and Yukinoshita might not be able to see the words clearly, so she bent over and leaned towards Yukinoshita.

With her smiling face, the snow-white cleavage that could not be covered by the T-shirt was faintly visible, but it was particularly eye-catching.

Xue Zhixia moved her gaze back and forth several times before finally shifting her gaze from that majestic scene to the electronic screen in Yuigahama's hand.

??★Xiaobei★??:

"Chocolate brownie."

"Xiaoxue, I guessed right, Xiaobei would choose this."

Yukinoshita wasn't surprised, "Given his knowledge of desserts, he probably only saw the word 'chocolate'."

"Haha, yes. Xiaobei is actually very easy to understand in a place like this." Yuigahama sat back, her eyes fixed on the screen again, thinking about how to reply to Beinuo.

"Yuigahama-san, you used your phone quite frequently today." Yukinoshita couldn't help but remind him, "Next time when you dine with someone, it's best to pay attention to the person you're with, otherwise you'll leave a bad impression on them."

Yuigahama paused with an apologetic look on her face, "Sorry, Xiaoxue, I will pay attention."

There was no blame in Yukinoshita's tone, "It's good that you know, but there is one more thing... your habit of frequently sending messages to people is not something that everyone can adapt to."

"Eh? Does Xiaoxue hate this?"

Yuigahama remembered that when she sent messages to Yukinoshita, her replies were always brief, usually "Oh" or "OK", and the words she typed were not even as many as Kitano's.

"I wouldn't say I hate you... well, just a little annoying." There was a hint of teasing in Yukinoshita's tone.

"Isn't this the same thing?!"

Yukinoshita coughed lightly, "Yuigahama-san, please be careful with your voice."

"Uh, oh... sorry."

Yuigahama knew that she had spoken a little loudly just now, so she quickly covered her mouth, tilted her head slightly, and carefully looked at the people around her.

However, there were other customers talking in the store, and Yuigahama's exclamation did not attract anyone else's attention.

Just at this moment, the waiter brought over their desserts.

A large cup of fragrant apple tea can balance the sweetness brought by the dessert. The other two exquisite and eye-catching desserts are tiramisu and chocolate brownie.

These two desserts are somewhat similar in shape. Whether it is the square outline or the brown appearance, they both give people a sweet, delicious and soft feeling, making people want to taste them carefully.

Yuigahama's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait any longer.

Yukinoshita smiled and said, "Please enjoy it and don't eat it all in one go like you did last time."

"I'm not that greedy. It's because the snack is so delicious that it disappeared before I knew it." Yuigahama held a metal fork in her hand, inserted it from the surface of the snack, easily cut out a small piece, and quickly put it into her mouth.

"Hmm - I feel so happy~"

Yuigahama chewed and sighed vaguely, "Xiaobei must have never eaten it... Oh, right, I almost forgot to take a picture."

She pointed the camera on her phone at the dessert, and with a "click", she took a photo of the food with ordinary pixels.

Even this was not enough. Yuigahama wanted to send a text message to Kitano, but as soon as the thought came to her mind, she remembered what Yukinoshita had just said.

"Xiaoxue, I want to send a text message to Xiaobei now, is that okay?"

Yukinoshita, who was sipping tea, slowly stopped what she was doing and asked in confusion, "Why are you asking me?"

"Didn't Xiaoxue say, 'Focus on the person accompanying you'? If Xiaoxue also joins in, then we'll be on the safe side."

"I see. Although you have learned from experience, this kind of thing..."

"Ah, why not just make a phone call? It's a bit troublesome to send text messages every time." Yuigahama said and started to act.

Yukinoshita looked at her helplessly. Although she hadn't finished speaking, since Yuigahama was on the phone, Yukinoshita didn't want to interrupt her intentionally.

The two were silent, one was waiting for the call to be connected, while the other was carefully savoring the delicious snacks.

"Eh?"

Yuigahama's reaction was a little strange, which made Yukinoshita subconsciously look at her, and then, Yukinoshita admired Yuigahama's series of changes in expression.

She was a little surprised at first, then she smiled with surprise, and there was a kind of secret joy hidden in the curve of her mouth. Unfortunately, this smile was fleeting and turned into a sad look.

Just as Yukinoshita was curious about this, Yuigahama immediately responded angrily: "Xiaobei... I heard everything."

The other party's response came from the phone receiver, and only she could hear it.

Yukinoshita did not interrupt, choosing to listen quietly.

"Humph, you're still pretending to be confused. There's no problem with the cell phone signal at all... Could it be that Xiaobei is so resistant... Well, that's fine... Me? I didn't. It's not strange to omit the last syllable. Obviously, everyone else calls me that... No, it's fine. Just get used to it. Otherwise, it's not fair at all. Well, that's right... You're not allowed to use honorifics. It feels a bit strange. You're not allowed to change it back... Well, I'll give you some time reluctantly. Well, that's it."

Yuigahama hung up the phone.

Yukinoshita looked at her silently, then continued what she had just said, "Although you have learned from experience, you don't need to say this specifically."

"Um...what is Koyuki saying?" Yuigahama's attention had already been diverted, so she didn't understand what Yukinoshita said at all.

Yukinoshita sighed, "Yuigahama-san, are you a goldfish?"

"No~is~, Xiaoxue, you are not allowed to say bad things about me. Ah, I remember, Xiaobei also said something similar, so I won't be fooled. After all, a goldfish's memory is more than 7 seconds." Yuigahama found out that she had seen through Yukinoshita's plan, and she showed a proud expression.

To this, Yukinoshita simply responded calmly: "Yes, goldfish have better memories than you. After all, you didn't talk about chocolate brownies at all on the phone just now."

"..." Yuigahama blinked in a silly manner, and suddenly realized that what Yukinoshita said was right, "That's right..."

In the supermarket.

Beinuo just took back his phone.

Komachi, who was standing nearby, asked secretly, "Onii-chan, were you talking to onee-chan just now?"

"We have bought our things, let's get ready to go home." Beinuo was unmoved and pushed the shopping cart towards the checkout counter.

"Tsk, you're trying to fool me again."

Komachi was like a mischievous follower, always sticking to Kitano, muttering to herself, "You should call me Yuigahama-sister, right? Oh, it seems I should change the name, Yui...sister? Hmm, this name is easier to understand. Onii-chan, haha, I got exposed directly, which is a bit lame, hehe."

Beinuo paused and the shopping cart stopped rolling.

But Komachi didn't react in time and bumped into Kitano's back, making a cute weird cry.

"Why did Onii-chan suddenly stop..."

Komachi responded with Kitano's silence and a slightly unfriendly look.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Komachi blinked twice, then tilted her head and smiled in a pretentious manner, "Hey~"

Seeing that she had no intention of repenting, Beinuo couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Unfortunately, before he could react, the phone in his pocket vibrated again.

Another phone call.

He took it out and took a look.

It’s Yui again.

Komachi quietly stared at Kitano's expression, gradually moving her body to find a good position to eavesdrop.

Bei Nuo had no choice but to answer the call and put the phone to his ear again, "Hello?"

Yuigahama's voice came from the other end of the phone again: "Xiaobei, listen to me, I just ordered chocolate brownie."

"..."

"This snack tastes delicious. It gives people a wow-wow feeling. How should I describe the taste? Ah, it tastes like chocolate, and it's a bit like soft cookies. It's sweet, but also a little bitter. Xiaobei should like it."

"..."

"Huh? Xiaobei, can you hear me? Is there really a problem with the signal? Hello?"

"I can hear you." Beinuo said calmly.

"Then why didn't Xiaobei speak just now?"

"Yuigahama..."

"Um?!"

"Yuigahama Yui-san."

"Oh~ Why are you calling me by my full name?"

"Ah... Yui-san, even if you describe it as delicious, I can't eat it. I don't even know what the dessert looks like. Are you deliberately torturing me?"

"Ah, well, I'll send you a photo."

"Okay, we'll talk about it next time."

"This tone is so perfunctory, Xiaobei will definitely not try it, it's obviously really delicious...Ah, Xiaoxue said that you are embarrassed to come to this kind of store alone, right, Xiaobei?"

"no……"

Kitano chatted with Yuigahama on the phone for a while.

Finally, Kitano said, "Komachi needs my help. I'm hanging up now."

Without waiting for the other party to explain, he directly pressed the little head beside him, then turned around and said with a fake smile: "It is not a good habit to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls. Xiaomachi, you should remember this."

Komachi nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah, yeah, Komachi knows, so... can Onii-chan let Komachi go? Otherwise, Onii-chan will be regarded as a suspicious person by the surrounding staff."

Bei Nuo frowned, but still let go of his hand.

Komachi quickly added, "If Onii-chan is captured, Komachi will have to carry these goods back alone."

"..."

"You're kidding."

In a dessert shop.

Yuigahama and Yukinoshita are enjoying their meal.

"Can I have a taste of Xiaoxue's snack?" Yuigahama suggested.

The two had exchanged desserts at another dessert shop before, in order to try more flavors.

Yukinoshita did not refuse. The craftsmanship of this shop was quite good, which made her want to try their desserts.

Yuigahama cut a triangular cut in the tiramisu on the plate and put it into her mouth to savor it carefully.

Tiramisu has a smooth texture, with the bitterness of coffee, the mellowness of sweet wine, and the fragrance of chocolate. It blends all the complex experiences that sweetness can evoke, layer by layer, to the extreme.

Yuigahama covered her mouth happily, "It's delicious, this also tastes like chocolate."

"Of course, after all, chocolate goes well with other desserts, and most people wouldn't hate it," Yukinoshita explained briefly.

She put a small piece of chocolate brownie into her mouth and carefully savored the taste.

After the two girls finished enjoying the delicious meal.

Yukinoshita took a sip of apple tea and asked, "So, Yuigahama-san, can you make up your mind this time?"

"Yeah!" Yuigahama nodded. After three trips out to explore stores, she finally found her target.

"Really? But both tiramisu and chocolate brownie are not easy to make. I hope you can stick to it until the end. So which one are you going to choose?"

Yuigahama was a little confused, "Yeah, both have chocolate flavor..."

Yukinoshita was slightly stunned.

Although she had a premonition and Yuigahama's attitude was also very clear, when she heard these words, she still felt a sense of blockage as if her body was solidifying.

It was an indescribable complex emotion. If Yuigahama had not appeared, Yukinoshita would probably still be in confusion.

But she is quietly changing, just like Yuigahama, and with Kitano's help, the two are growing faster than ever before.

When Yukinoshita heard the phone conversation between Yuigahama and Kitano, Yukinoshita's vague emotions became increasingly clear.

Chocolate flavor is the flavor that person likes...

Even though I didn't take it seriously at that time... But, I've already promised Yuigahama-san...

Yukinoshita smiled and suggested to Yuigahama, "Let's choose chocolate brownie. Even if it was just a coincidence, it was his choice."

After hearing Yukinoshita's last words, Yuigahama couldn't help but panic, "Ah, ah, Yuki already knows."

Yukinoshita didn't say anything, as if she had already anticipated Yuigahama's reaction.

The two fell into a brief silence.

"Ahaha...that's right. I'm not good at hiding things, especially in front of Xiaoxue." Yuigahama touched the bun on her head shyly.

"I just discovered it by accident. As for..." Yukinoshita paused for a moment, her mind reacted in another way, "As for Yuigahama-san's intention, it should be to thank him. Of course, I will help with this."

Yuigahama lowered her head, "Yeah, yes, after all, Xiaobei has helped me so much, so I still need to thank him... Sorry, I keep asking Xiaoxue, I don't know how to choose, I can only worry about the chocolate taste."

"It's okay, there won't be any problem with this choice..." Yukinoshita's eyes moved slightly, and there was another word in her throat, but she didn't know whether she should say it out loud, but her palms trembled unconsciously at this moment, which made her make up her mind, so she opened her mouth and said the words that might cause controversy and estrangement:

"Because it's just the right amount of sweetness for him."

"..."
