[Net King] Winter Snow

Leaving the venue with that stern-faced boy, Yuriko Uemura followed behind Genichiro Sanada silently.The heat of summer makes people a little upset, but even so, the shade under the trees still brings a little bit of coolness.

"Won't Yukimura-kun say it?" Turning her head away a little, Uemura Yuriko could imagine that with Sanada Genichiro's character, she would seldom refute Yukimura Seiichi's proposal.

"Yagyu will ask for leave for me." The boy walking in front said so, and then pulled the brim of his hat to cover up as if he had exposed something.

"What, it turned out that Hiroshi had been bribed a long time ago." While murmuring in a low voice, Yuriko Uemura was a little unconvinced.

Sanada Genichiro who heard the words paused stiffly, as if he wanted to explain something.Seeing the other party's overly honest appearance, Yuriko Uemura couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling, "Puchi."

Knowing that the girl's words just now were not angry, but just a little awkward with a complaining nature, Genichiro Sanada's slightly tense body relaxed, and slowed down his steps to wait for Yuriko Uemura to stand beside him.

"Where are we going?" Seeing the other party going straight on this street, the girl couldn't help asking.

"Eat." The boy next to him answered concisely, and then added, as if aware of his stupid mouth, "You just grumbled."

"Don't say this kind of thing!" Sanada Genichiro said a few words, blushing a little, Uemura Yuriko remembered that when she was leaning on the tree trunk just now, her stomach did not live up to it. People heard it... The more embarrassed the girl puffed up her cheeks, she deliberately walked forward quickly, as if she wanted to distance herself from the people around her.

Genichiro Sanada has long been familiar with Yuriko Uemura's slightly childish behavior.When passing by the store, the boy grabbed the other's wrist, and motioned to the store next to him with his eyes, "here."

Seeing where she was, Yuriko Uemura had a troubled expression on her face, as if she was trying to refute that she had gone too far, but in the end the girl turned her head away and said angrily, "I know it's here without you telling me. "

Genichiro Sanada showed a helpless smile for a moment when the girl disliked the honesty of her body.He is so frank and straightforward to everyone, but when he meets him, he is particularly strong.Although it is not a bad thing, but looking at Yuriko Uemura who is completely different from her usual school, Genichiro Sanada is very tolerant of the other party's rare childish behavior.

The layout of the restaurant is no different from that of ordinary stores. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows allow the customers on the far side to see every move on the street clearly.Yuriko Uemura and Genichiro Sanada sat facing each other, and the girl couldn't help sighing when the waiter in an apron finished ordering and left.

"I always feel a bit subtle. Usually, I stand and take orders for customers." Holding her chin with one hand, Yuriko Uemura looked around the store.

Genichiro Sanada didn't respond to the girl's casual words.The girl sitting in front of him originally had better conditions than anyone else, and could live the life of a young lady without carrying her shoulders or hands.

"Why are you looking at me like this, making me look like a poor cat or dog." Looking around the store, Yuriko Uemura just looked away when she saw Genichiro Sanada staring at her. eyes.Looking at the other party's overly serious expression with some amusement, Yuriko Uemura joked while chuckling.

Before the boy sitting opposite had time to respond, he was interrupted by the set meal served by the waiter.There are cute colorful flags on the curry omurice, and a small decorative umbrella is placed on the matching drinks. The overly cute set meal surprised Genichiro Sanada, and Yuriko Uemura seemed to know what the boy was thinking. , "Well, because the appearance on the menu is very cute, so I clicked to see the actual effect." After a pause, the girl said again, "If the effect is good, you can ask the store manager to try using this small decoration to increase the selling point .”

"Will a bonus be given if the proposal is adopted?" Seeing Yuriko Uemura picking out all the potatoes and carrots in the curry, Genichiro Sanada asked.

"Of course." The girl replied proudly one second, but puffed up her cheeks the next second, "Wait...! Don't talk so profitably! I'm also doing a good job for the restaurant. Think about it!" As she spoke, the girl angrily scooped a large spoonful of curry rice into her mouth.

Looking at a large pile of discarded vegetables outside the dinner plate, Genichiro Sanada sighed softly, and scooped the potatoes and carrots from his plate onto the other's plate.Yuriko Uemura's eyes widened in disbelief at the boy's sudden behavior, "What are you doing!" The girl couldn't help shouting when the disgusting food appeared in front of her.

"Eat it." After almost half of the vegetables were distributed to the other party, Sanada Genichiro stopped, and said in a calm tone, "Don't be picky."

"I don't want it anymore..." Yuriko Uemura's tone was soft as if she was coquettish as she poked the potato cubes back and forth with a spoon.

"Eat it." The boy sitting opposite didn't show any sign of backing down.

"..." and Genichiro Sanada looked at each other, and after a few seconds of stalemate, Yuriko Uemura seemed to be defeated, and she pursed her lips, "Okay, I'll just eat."

Seeing the girl with two ponytails reluctantly stuffing a large piece of potato into her mouth, looking like she was being bullied, Genichiro Sanada couldn't help but evoked a slightly imperceptible smile.In addition to helplessness, those eyes revealed some tenderness and warmth. Just a few months ago, he and she were still in an unresolved deadlock.

Some things may really be like what others say, and if you don't take the initiative to say it, others will never know what you think.Genichiro Sanada originally thought that as long as he stood silently behind this girl, one day she would notice that there was someone who shared everything for her at any time.But the person he was facing was too aggressive, no matter what he encountered, he only wanted to solve it by himself, no matter how much pressure he was facing, he would never think of looking back.

"Aren't you going to eat?" After finally finishing off those annoying potatoes and carrots on the plate, Uemura Yuriko raised her head and realized that the other party's gaze had been on her.Stretching out her hand in front of Genichiro Sanada, the girl blinked her eyes and said.

The other party's expression at the moment is like an innocent rabbit, only Genichiro Sanada is reflected in the black eyes.Facing Yuriko Uemura like this, the boy couldn't help but compare with the capable "Yuriko Uemura" in school—is it only when she is in front of her that the girl in front of her will show herself without any disguise? ?

"Help...!" Looking at Genichiro Sanada with an expression of being defeated by you, Yuriko Uemura had a very tangled expression on her face, "There shouldn't be anything strange drawn on my face, you keep staring at me like this I see what's going on, I'm getting goosebumps, okay Sanada-kun!"

See, as long as certain taboo areas and topics are not touched, the two of them can still talk normally like now—except for the alienated "Sanada-kun".

"This way, it's got curry on it." Genichiro Sanada finally spoke out, pointing to the position next to Yuriko Uemura's mouth.

"Then you just say no earlier, staring at me makes me think that someone has painted something on my face as a prank." Wiping the corner of her mouth vigorously with a tissue, Yuriko Uemura kneaded the napkin into a ball Throw it aside, pick up the spoon and continue to chop the rice.

Even after three years, the girl's eating habits still haven't improved at all.Genichiro Sanada still remembers that when he met Yuriko Uemura for the first time, he was shocked for a long time by the fact that girls would fight, but it turns out that the other party surprised him far more than that. Yuriko Uemura is even more masculine than boys.He thought that after such a long time, the other party has more or less regained the appearance that some girls should have, but judging from the current situation, it seems that they have only regained a little bit.

"Girls should be more delicate." Genichiro Sanada couldn't help but preach to the girl.

Yuriko Uemura, who was halfway through eating, paused the spoon she had just dug out, looked at her own plate, then at Genichiro Sanada's plate, and then said confidently, "It's obvious that you scooped bigger than me. "

"I mean, eat slowly and be more refined." Sighing, the black-haired boy explained.

"Have you ever seen someone who eats omelet rice and eats it slowly?" Uemura Yuriko said casually while poking the bottom of the curry with a spoon while holding half of her cheek with one hand.

The two were chatting like this when a sudden vibration interrupted the conversation.Yuriko Uemura immediately took out her mobile phone to check it, and found that it was not her phone, then turned her attention to Genichiro Sanada.Unexpectedly, it was his cell phone that called, the black-haired boy frowned, and after connecting, he lowered his voice and said, "This is Genichiro Sanada."

Not knowing who was calling from the other side, Yuriko Uemura fiddled with the small umbrella in the drink while shaking her legs boredly.In her impression, Genichiro Sanada has always been a rigorous existence, and the person who called him seemed to have nothing but business.Seeing the boy sitting across from her, the girl frowned even more, but there was a stern voice of refusal in her mouth. It is hard to imagine that Genichiro Sanada would refuse the official business in such a righteous way, Yuriko Uemura joked He wondered if there was a cute girl asking him out.

"With such a serious expression, could it be a girl who invited you out to play?" After the other party hung up the phone, the girl stirred the ice cubes in the glass with a straw, joking in a brisk tone.But Genichiro Sanada, who had just picked up the phone, froze for a moment, feeling a subtle nervousness of being caught.

Seeing the other party's unnatural behavior, Yuriko Uemura opened her eyes slightly, in disbelief, "No way, I guessed it right? Who is so brave?"

"Nakagawa-san said that the tennis club has a surplus of funds, and just asked if we want to go somewhere to play together." Sanada Genichiro frowned and said, dispelling the strange imagination in the girl's mind.

"It's her again." The moment she heard Nakagawa Mie's name, Uemura Yuriko's expression became a little interested.

"What's the matter?" Sanada Genichiro asked, not quite understanding the attitude of the girl in front of him.

"It's nothing, I just hate her." Yuriko Uemura said so, and then as if she remembered something, she quickly shut up, "Ah, just pretend you didn't hear what you said just now."

The girl was about to change the topic to cover up, but was stared at by Genichiro Sanada questioningly.After a few seconds, Uemura Yuriko sighed a little admitting defeat, tugged at her ponytails, and said hesitantly, "It's nothing, it's just that I was lectured by Kiyoko because of this matter just now." , the girl scratched her cheek in embarrassment.

"Qiuchi Takeuchi?" He remembered that Liu Lian Er had told him that the girl was not so ignorant.

"En." Nodding her head, Yuriko Uemura continued, "I forgot the specifics, anyway, I told Kiyoko that I hated Mie Nakagawa when I was working part-time, and then Kiyoko said I was too blunt .”

"She said that when I told others who I hated, I didn't think about what others would say about me behind my back, 'Uemura Yuriko actually hates Mie Nakagawa', 'I didn't expect Uemura Yuriko to be so jealous of others' popularity than her'. Zi’s words are in places I don’t know, maybe many people are already talking about them.”

"'Sometimes it's better to tell others what you don't want to say, maybe it will be used as an after-dinner conversation at some point." Kiyoko told me that." Yuriko Uemura smiled helplessly, "Actually If you think about it carefully, I always seem to be like this, telling others everything without thinking about the consequences of saying or doing so.”

For the girl's words, Sanada Genichiro was unable to refute anything for a while.Although Yuriko Uemura's overly outspoken character is not a bad thing, being too scheming and defensive is not a good thing either.In fact, the young man wanted to point this out to her, but he never found a suitable opportunity. Unexpectedly, he was told by Takeuchi Kiyomi now.Perhaps, as Liu Renji said, not only Kiyomi Takeuchi needs Yuriko Uemura, but to a certain extent, Yuriko Uemura also needs Kiyomi Takeuchi.

"It has nothing to do with what I said." Genichiro Sanada said after a moment of silence.

"Eh?" For a moment, she didn't understand the meaning of the boy's words, Yuriko Uemura looked at the other party's serious face, and chuckled knowingly, "No."

Unexpectedly, the other party would give a negative answer, Sanada Genichiro couldn't help but frowned, and was about to say something, but was blocked by the girl's next words, "I don't want you to see my bad That side, so forget what you said just now." After a pause, Yuriko Uemura lowered her brows and eyes, and raised the corners of her mouth that were a little too serious before, "I'm just a little jealous of Mie Nakagawa calling you, it's a child's awkward behavior Come on, don't mind."

Although the girl said not to care, but for Genichiro Sanada, she couldn't really not care.The black-haired boy looked at the girl in front of him who started eating again, his eyes calmed down a bit.

"Buzz buzz—" the vibration sounded again, Yuriko Uemura managed to swallow the food in her mouth, and looked at Genichiro Sanada with questioning eyes, while the other party shook his head, indicating that it wasn't his cell phone that was there. ring.

Reluctantly taking out her mobile phone from her pocket, Yuriko Uemura was thinking about who called her while she was eating in such a puzzled atmosphere, but she froze for a second when she saw the screen.

【Caller ID—Sanada Genichiro】

Surprised by the boy's behavior to the point of being speechless, the girl just held the phone like this, not knowing how to react.The young man sitting across from him was still expressionless and handsome, and the mobile phone in his hand was obviously dialing her number.

"I told you not to care about it..." Said in a low voice, Yuriko Uemura held back her heartbeat and pressed the answer button.Putting the phone to her ear, the girl saw the boy sitting opposite her make the same movement as her.

Through the hissing sound of electromagnetic waves, there is a half-second delay between the noise in the store and the sound in the phone.Yuriko Uemura saw Genichiro Sanada's mouth move, as if he was saying something, but the voice was too soft for her to hear the other person's words clearly in person, so she could only distinguish through the phone.

"If you're jealous, I'll call you."

The words of the black-haired boy came from the other side of the phone, and the slightly dull and hoarse voice made Yuriko Uemura unable to think.She always felt that this kind of behavior was a foul. The Sanada Genichiro she knew shouldn't be such a gentle person, but the fact was right in front of her eyes. The always clumsy boy told her his feelings in the most direct way.

Hanging up the phone in a hurry, Yuriko Uemura did not dare to look up at Genichiro Sanada's face.The other party seemed to be laughing lightly at her panic at the moment, but the girl knew very well that with Genichiro Sanada's personality, let alone making fun of her, she might not even have such thoughts.

Yuriko Uemura couldn't remember exactly how she left at the end of the meal, and what the other party said on the way to send her back.I just remember running back home in a daze, my blushing cheeks didn't know whether it was because of what happened just now or because of the too hot weather outside.Constantly fanning the wind with her hands, the girl listened to the tinkling of the wind chimes, and it took a long time before her mood calmed down.
