Boyfriend is Atobe-kun

On weekends, Atobe went to participate in a speech contest, and I rushed to my grandmother's house in Saitama Prefecture with my parents.

Because I got up early in the morning, after I got in the car and fastened my seat belt, I fell asleep next to the car window in a daze.

When I woke up, most of the day had passed, and my father's car was parked smoothly in the old-style community.

"Are you awake?" He pulled out the car key and glanced at me, "Get out of the car for lunch."

"Don't be picky about eating later." Mom said.

After rubbing my eyes and saying "Oh", I unfastened my seat belt and got out of the car.

The first thing I saw was the familiar and extremely dim corridor.Not only is there no elevator in the corridor, even the sensor lights are broken.

Fortunately, it was during the day, otherwise I would not have dared to go up alone, and it would still be at the height of the fifth floor.

"Really, how many times have I told her that the traffic here is inconvenient and the public security is poor. I don't know how much better the original house is than here." Mom complained as she went upstairs with her big and small bags.

"Mom is more nostalgic." Dad said with a smile.

……

Finally, we reached our destination.

"Squeak-"

Before I could knock, the door opened by itself.

"I heard your voices here." The grandma wearing a pink apron smiled and took the things from her mother. "It's really not convenient here. It doesn't matter if you don't come to see me."

"Mom, that's not what I meant." Mom quickly retorted.

"Oh, I am very happy to live here as an old woman, and Xiaojing is with me."

Grandma put down the gift in her hand, and picked up a pile of fluff curled up at her feet.

I took a closer look and it was a white puppy.

Wait, this dog is called Xiaojing?

"Ah, so cute!"

Mother is the person who can't refuse cute things the most. She immediately forgot that she was still arguing with grandma, and touched the puppy's head with both hands.

"Mom, when did you buy the puppy!" Her excited tone made her 20 years old in an instant.

Grandma handed the "Xiaojing" in her arms to her mother, and Yoyo stated: "I met while walking. Xiaojing and I are very destined, and have been chasing me."

"Oh." Mom nodded thoughtfully.

My dad and I looked at each other and put on the slippers silently.

"Is it Xiaojing?" I confirmed with him.

Dad was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react for a while, "Yes, Xiaojing."

I couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

After he finished asking this sentence, he suddenly realized something and laughed: "Why, do you want to tell Jingwu?"

I waved my hand: "I have no such plan for now."

I can already imagine the expression on Atobu's expression when he learned that his nickname had collided with a puppy.

That's not too showy either.

"Dinner is ready, Dad and Xiaomeng go wash your hands quickly." Mom urged.

I suffocated my laughter and walked into the bathroom with my dad to wash my hands.

I hate potatoes the most.

And today's noon dish happened to include potato ragout.This dish is too common to be homely, but it is hard for me to swallow.

Grandma watched me with gentle eyes the whole time, and found that I didn't have this dish, so she asked me softly: "Doesn't Xiaomeng like to eat grandma's dishes?"

"Nothing!" I shook my head repeatedly, and immediately stuffed a piece of potato into my mouth: "Grandma's cooking is the best."

Grandma smiled slightly: "You child, you don't even have the freedom to be picky eaters."

She glanced at her mother intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Your mother was also very picky eater when she was a child, and she didn't like potatoes either."

My chewing froze.

Mom's face was slightly red: "It's not good to be picky eaters."

"But Xiaomeng just doesn't like potatoes, why do you force her." Grandma turned her face and said to me: "If you don't like it, don't force yourself."

Me: "Well..."

"Is Xiaomeng in love?" Grandma asked casually.

"Yes."

I began to feel guilty for no reason.

"Is it your father's friend's son?" she asked again.

"It's Atobe who grew up with me." I tapped my finger under my right eye, "There is a tear mole here."

Grandma suddenly realized: "Oh, that child, I have seen the photos, he looks really good."

Me: "Hey."

My boyfriend was praised, and I am still very happy.

Grandma: "Although I'm not a good match for you, as long as you like it, it's fine."

I:"……?"

Grandma, why are you so confident in your granddaughter?

I was silent for a moment, and lowered my head to pick up the rice.

Grandma filled herself with a spoonful of soup, took a sip gracefully, and stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Mom asked.

"I forgot to put salt." She frowned.

I stood up and volunteered, "I'll add it."

"The kitchen is out of salt, I forgot to buy it."

Grandma tremblingly took out a banknote from her coat pocket and handed it to me, "Please Xiaomeng, please run."

"The rest are Xiaomeng's." She immediately added this sentence.

"Mom, you spoil her too much!" Mom complained dissatisfiedly: "Junior high school students don't need so much pocket money."

I couldn't help but think of Atobe.

He deposited more than 3 yen with me.

"Hey, I dote on my granddaughter, what's your business?" Grandma replied with a smile.

……

I closed the door softly.

There are errands and errand fees, which is very good.Besides, there is a supermarket near the neighborhood... right?

I'm not sure.But now knocking on the door and expressing that he doesn't know where to buy salt will definitely be laughed at.

While thinking, I went downstairs.

However, after walking out of the community, I was confused.

What about the supermarket?Where is the supermarket in my memory?

"Go forward ten meters."

"Turn right and walk 50 meters."

……

I am standing in front of an alley.It is as dark as the corridor of the building in my grandmother's house.

Well, what about the promised supermarket?

Under the guidance of the navigation, I seem to be... lost.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, an arrogant voice came from the depths of the alley:

"Ah? It was you who hit our boss?!"

I looked into the alley, and in the dim light, a few bad-looking people were surrounding a young man.

The boy had a sea urchin head and looked extremely individual.It's just that he looked indifferent, probably because he was frightened stupid by these people.

I'm short of breath.

Is this the legendary bullying?

Damn, my hands and feet started shaking.

Had Atobe been there, he would have picked up his tennis racket to do justice and ended the fight with some gorgeous waltz.

But I can't do anything.Should I just go away like this?

"...Hui, don't act stupid in front of me!" One of them had already grabbed the sea urchin head by the collar: "Be careful, I'll do you!"

——I did it for you.

This is the rhythm of killing people, and it is definitely too late to call the police now.

I shook my head.

The only information I can get from it is that the head of this sea urchin is called "XX Hui".Well, what can I do...

"Why, I hit it."

The boy with the head of a sea urchin still had that indifferent expression, but his whole body had gained momentum.He held the hand holding his collar and said, "Next time we meet, I'll fight."

"Beat until he realizes his mistake."
