And through the sticker

...Is this some kind of role-playing play?

The moment I heard Rei Furutani's words, the scene just now flashed through my mind.

There are two arms with obvious differences in skin color and body shape.

"..."

Ah, it feels like if he really doesn't want me to go somewhere, it's really easy to do.

For example, when I was pressed on the car seat by him just now, I couldn't move at all.

Inexplicably embarrassed, I said, "..."

I'm not right.

I'd better ask Xiaolan where she took her karate class another day.

Well... not just for strength, but also for exercise =v=.

In order to avoid being discovered by the other party about my slightly hot ears, I decisively took the initiative to throw the blame:

"Senior Jiang Gu, something is wrong with you."

Furutani Rei and I pulled a little distance away, blinked and didn't speak.

After the feeling of oppression disappeared, I regained my freedom and began to beep boldly: "Even if I arrive very late, Brother Amuro will definitely wait for me in a gentlemanly manner."

I covered my ears with both hands to cover up, with the standard blingbling expression of girls.

Glancing at Fugu Rei's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, I became more playful and continued to improvise.

"Brother Amuro will be angry if you say that! I ~sure~definite~ will be free to attend the appointment."

I dragged out my voice and even accentuated the "surely available" part.

Jiang Guling: "..."

Jiang Guling: "..."

He smiled and was about to say something when our car window was tapped lightly.

I:"?"

Seeing someone outside the window, I quickly lowered the co-pilot's window.

"that……"

A strange girl looked at us carefully and spoke carefully.

"Excuse me, are you leaving, or are you just stopping in?"

"We've been looking for a parking space for a long time, only to see that there are always people in your car, so I came to ask... I'm really sorry!"

Her cheeks were a little flushed, and her eyes kept drifting.

The other girl behind her was frantically swiping her phone with her head down all the time.

Shouldn't it be...

Did you see it...

I:"……"

Me: "Let's go now!"

Me: "No!! I mean let's get out of the car now!! The parking space is still needed!"

I forcibly pulled Jiang Gu and fled away.

……

Walking on the road in Mihua Town, I once again retracted half of my face into the stand collar and solemnly proposed the first chapter of the contract:

"Or don't kiss outside in the future, I will be very shy."

Jiang Guling tugged on his tie, nodded slightly, with a businesslike tone:

"I have no objection to your proposal, and a contract can be drawn up now."

I looked at him suspiciously: "?"

Jiang Gu Ling's tone was very calm, as if he was proposing some work agreement: "Whoever takes the initiative first will bear full responsibility."

He glanced at my hesitant expression: "Miss Sasaki, don't you dare?"

I:"……"

I shivered pretendingly: "If you breach the contract, you will bear full responsibility? Mr. Jiang Gu said that I am so scared, I am just a simple and good citizen."

The identity play of seniors and junior girls seamlessly switched to serious public security and innocent citizens in an instant.

"..." Jiang Guling raised his eyebrows, "How to put it another way? A bet."

I said inwardly: "Brother Anshi will definitely agree to my proposal tenderly, so he won't make any bets with me."

Jiang Guling smiled slightly, and reminded: "My main number in your phone's note is Jiang Guling."

I:"……"

I hesitated for a moment, remembering that the first kiss between us was initiated by me.

Damn, it feels like something that I kind of wanted to buy but didn't want to use every day has been snatched up.

I don't have to buy it, but I can't stand it being out of stock.

Just when I was struggling, Jiang Gu Ling warmly reminded:

"Although I think you may not be short of this money, but if I lose, I will empty your... um..."

He pondered for a moment, and carefully recalled those terms that were not very familiar to him.

"Steam shopping cart, and several... Switch game cartridges that you told me about before."

My heart skipped a beat.

I really don't lack this money, but as a bushi who always plays card games, I like this kind of pulling process with no ending.

As soon as I said it was a bet, I got excited.

I tentatively stretched out my claws and grabbed the corner of Furutani Rei's clothes: "Then you have to play with me that Otome game that I bought for a long time but haven't played! It was recommended to me by Nozaki!"

I pushed forward: "I still want to travel with me! I want to go to the hot springs! Shodoshima!"

I know Rei Furutani has been very busy, so we have never traveled together.

At most, it's going to the park for a walk in Harrow or something.

Jiang Gu Ling seemed to be silently calculating in his heart for a while, and finally nodded: "After a while... I should be able to have a few days of vacation."

My deer bumps around.

While bumping into each other, I continued to make demands: "Then you still have to..."

Jiang Gu Ling glanced at me with a half-smile: "Are you so confident that you won't be the first to violate the contract?"

I puffed out my chest confidently, and said confidently: "Absolutely not, I don't have the worldly desire of 'wanting to kiss'."

Jiang Gu Ling smiled, but did not speak.

The first minute the contract came into effect, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell the clerk in advance that I would go to have dinner today.

"I could have asked Kissme to make it ahead of time...so I don't have to wait..."

I clenched my fists angrily, regretting that I didn't make good use of the privilege of the store manager.

Jiang Gu Ling pointed to the gate of Poirot not far away very intimately: "It's okay, it's almost there anyway."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to ask unintentionally: "kissme?"

A look of "Are you going to lose in just a few minutes?"

I quickly waved my hand: "...No! I didn't mean that! This is the name of the new clerk!!"

Jiang Guling: "Oh."

……

"My name really sounds like Kissme hahahahahahahahahahaha, Mengzi just called me that, and Xiao Azusa and Kashima also called me that."

The tall and lively pink-haired boy accepted our teasing with a good temper while making tea.

I blinked, and introduced to Furutani Rei who was sitting opposite me: "This is Shikino Takasumi, a student of Touya University, and Poirot's new part-time clerk."

"Yes! Please give me more advice! This senior clerk!"

Tsuino Takasumi saluted briskly and brought us two cups of barley tea.

Jiang Gu Ling nodded politely at him, and took a sip of tea.

"I often hear all kinds of stories about Senpai Amuro! Senpai's sandwiches are really popular! It's a popular food on Twitter!"

Tsukino Takasumi babbled on a lot of words of praise for Furutani Zero's cooking skills: "Today I finally saw Senior in person! Please give me your advice!"

Jiang Guling looked at him with a smile: "Please give me more advice."

His hair...is really pink.

After putting down the barley tea, Shikino Takasumi held the tray and turned to look at me.

"That's right, Mengzi! Kashima won't be able to come to work part-time these days~ Said that the school is going to organize a school trip~ Xiao Azusa has also asked for leave these days, I'm very lonely with no one to chat with~"

Shikino Takasumi sighed pretending to be lonely, but his purple eyes were full of smiles.

I nodded: "It's okay, you can just watch the schedule. Anyway, Kashima came here to work part-time because of the role of a coffee shop clerk in the drama club at the beginning."

He winked at me: "Okay ~ Miss Store Manager!"

Tsukino Takasumi briskly returned to the kitchen, brought out the sandwiches we ordered, and gossiped with me with a smile:

"Many of the female high school students who came here recently complained that they didn't see Kashima, saying that they would not continue to eat at Poirot until Ka~shima~wang~zi~ came back."

I said with emotion: "Ah, Kashima is still so charming, she is really good at it."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help turning my head and sharing with Jiang Gu Ling: "Last time she pulled my hair and called me Your Highness Princess, and she kissed her hand by the way."

Jiang Gu Ling: "..." This flamboyant style sounds a bit familiar.

It's very similar to a certain flying white suit.

Looking at the still full of female high school students and college students nearby, I propped my chin and said seriously: "It doesn't matter, you can still attract customers continuously with kissme's face and body alone."

I encouraged him to give him an honorary title: "You are our new Poirot male sign."

As a store manager serving water, I have not forgotten the old employee Jiang Guling who has been working hard for a long time: "You are the former male sign."

Azusa and Kashima are obviously female faces.

The new male sign, Takasumi Shimino: "..."

Former male signature Jiang Gu Ling: "..."

Unaware of the subtlety of my expression, I tilted my head and recalled: "Most of these female high school students came here because of Amuro Toru... It's really talented people from generation to generation..."

Tsuino Takasumi said seriously, "Amuro-senpai is really handsome."

I patted Shimono Takasumi on the shoulder righteously: "You are two types of handsome, as a college student, Kissme, you are the energetic and sunny type."

I thought about it, and added confidently: "And you are very young, you also play basketball, and you have great physical strength and potential."

Jiang Guling: "..."

Jiang Guling: "..."

He took a sip of the sandwich in silence, and after a while, said seriously: "The mayonnaise sauce for this ham sandwich, if—"

"Although you didn't say it clearly, Mengzi and Amuro-senpai are dating!"

As soon as he started to talk, he was overwhelmed by Shigino Takasumi's voice.

Shimino Takasumi looked at us with sparkling eyes:

He put his hands together very familiarly: "The two really match each other very well, they have a very couple atmosphere!"

Jiang Guling: "..."

The words that had reached his lips turned a corner unexpectedly.

Jiang Gu Ling sincerely encouraged: "...This ham sandwich is already very delicious, and your knowledge is very deep."

Shimino Takasumi's starry eyes: "Really! I got the approval of Amuro-senpai!!"

Jiang Gu Ling bent the corner of his mouth: "If you can add some miso, the taste will be better."

Shikino Takasumi nodded enthusiastically: "I will remember it well!! Senpai Amuro's unique recipe!!"

……

After all the dishes were served, Shimino Takasumi continued to work on other tables.

Without his enthusiastic conversation, the atmosphere at the table became a little colder in an instant.

We sat in Poirot's corner.

The place has been refurbished and the corner seats are shielded from the rest by tall potted plants.

It's like a little secret world.

Listening to the noise coming from around me, I drink barley tea absent-mindedly, staring at the table in a daze.

By the way, I racked my brains thinking about how to tell Fugu Ling that I'm going abroad.

It's a bit noisy here, and it seems that it's not suitable to talk about such serious things.

Hmm... That vanilla chocolate ice cream from Rei Furutani looks delicious...

I've already eaten a matcha one just now...but I still want to eat...

Hey, this color scheme seems to be quite similar to him...

My distraction was interrupted by Furutani Rei's movements.

He put his share of ice cream in front of me too.

Then he took the cup I was holding.

I reacted belatedly: "?"

"You've been staring at this ice cream for 2 minutes."

Sensing my suspicious gaze, Furutani Rei explained nonchalantly.

He filled my cup with hot tea.

"And your teacup has already run out of water, right? Why is it empty?"

He didn't ask directly, but very cryptically asked why I was in a daze.

Very interesting questioning technique.

If I have something depressed in my heart, I will know that the other party has noticed that I am a little depressed.

If I don't think about anything, I will feel that the other party is very caring.

It's like a subtle support for me.

So considerate.

After all, with his sensitivity, it is not easy to trick me.

But Jiang Gu Ling didn't do that.

My heart was inexplicably like melted ice cream: "Well... why don't we talk about it after dinner."

He looked at me and said with a smile, "It's just right, I have something to tell you."

"?" I was a little puzzled, but I still didn't ask, and silently scooped up the ice cream with a small spoon and ate it.

The slightly bitter taste of chocolate ice cream melts on the tip of the tongue, neutralizing the sweetness of vanilla ice cream, making the taste more mellow and refreshing.

I licked the corner of my lips.

Not only the color matching, but also the taste is very similar to Fugu Zero.

Finally, I packed a vanilla chocolate double ice cream.

After dinner about 07:30 or so.

It was the end of October.

By this point, the sky had darkened.

The car parked steadily downstairs at my house.

Holding the ice cream, I looked at Rei Furuya who was sitting in the driver's seat.

He didn't turn on the dome light inside the car, and it was dark inside the car, so I couldn't see his expression clearly.

Well... now it's time to say...

I nervously took a small bite of the ice cream, feeling the stimulation of the cold touch spreading on the tip of my tongue.

it is good!

Three, two, one——

"Didn't I just say I have something to tell you?"

It was Jiang Gu Ling who spoke first.

It's as if they have a tacit understanding with me.

When I had finished lip-synching, Furutani Rei cut me off.

I swallowed the sentence "I plan to go abroad to study in graduate school" abruptly, and turned a corner with difficulty: "You talk first."

Jiang Gu Ling turned his head.

Although I can't see his expression clearly, I can somehow feel——

At this time, his eyes were very gentle.

I heard him say:

"Sasaki Yumeko."

The tone is solemn.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the car was a little... um... affectionate?

Jiang Gu Ling seldom called my full name, coupled with his inexplicable tone like someone speaking at a meeting, I subconsciously said "arrived".

"..."

Jiang Gu Ling laughed out loudly: "Are you the high school student who was selected?"

Embarrassed, I took a big bite of the chocolate ice cream and said angrily, "Say what you say."

The affectionate atmosphere evaporated.

And Fugu Ling seemed to relax a lot.

"Sasaki Yumeko."

I took another bite of the vanilla ice cream.

"I am Jiang Gu Ling."

I:"?"

What happened?

I silently resisted the urge to ask.

Then I heard this sentence——

"Would you like to date me?"

His purple-gray eyes shone brightly in the night.

Eh?

Huh? ?

I stared blankly at Fugu Ling who suddenly confessed his love, a little confused about the other party's intention.

Hasn't this procedure already gone through?

He looked at me sluggishly, and touched his chin unnaturally.

"You seem to be a little concerned that I didn't use my real identity to associate with you at the beginning, and this is indeed... It's a fact, it's my problem."

Furuya Zero spoke slowly.

"I didn't face you with my true face at the beginning, such as name, identity, daily contact events...I didn't tell you."

He seemed to have thought of something, and smiled softly: "You were here to confess your love to me, but the time is really wrong, sorry."

"I couldn't help but want to say it today."

early morning.

Apartment downstairs.

in the car.

Toru Amuro.

Let's date.

Memories flooded into my mind, my lips moved slightly: "You..."

Jiang Gu Ling in front of him was wearing a suit, no longer the casual clothes he wore when he went undercover in a coffee shop.

He repeated it.

"Would you like to date me?"

I suddenly felt that the air in the car was a little... congested.

How to put it, I just feel that I can't breathe.

Is the deer in my heart bumping too fast?

Or is it too nervous after the little thoughts hidden deep in my heart are unearthed.

Although I didn't take the fact that "the other party hid a lot of things from me" very seriously, but in fact, there will still be...

A little upset.

...just a little bit.

I thought I was covering it up pretty well.

"..."

When I looked at Rei Furutani's serious eyes, I didn't expect him to be so meticulous.

After a while, I said, "Jing Gu Ling."

He didn't speak, just looked at me silently.

Me: "kissme."

Jiang Gu Ling tilted his head, as if he was a bit puzzled: "Shi Ye...?"

I squeezed the ice cream box sullenly, a little ashamed and angry: "Hey, aren't you good at reasoning! How could you mention Shigino Takasumi at this time!!"

I squeezed the ice cream box again to appease the little deer in my heart: "I don't want to lose."

The tone is very straightforward.

But faintly revealed some worldly desires.

Rei Furutani seems to understand what I mean.

There was a little smile in his eyes.

I said very naturally, "And I want to kiss you now."

"Because I don't want to lose, I ask you to kiss me now."

"After you kissed me, I agreed to associate with you."

……

So, out of nowhere, I dated Fugu Ling again when I had been dating Fugu Ling for almost half a year.

"It's all chocolate... isn't this the third scoop of ice cream for you today?"

"...Keep kissing yours! Where did you come from so many words!!"

About studying abroad... Let's talk about it next time.

Well, let's talk about it next time.

……

I leaned lazily on the car seat, gently supporting Jiang Gu Ling's face in front of my eyes with my hand.

"You lost."

"zero."

This is the first time I call him that.

Zero zero zero sauce does not count.

I looked at the man in front of me proudly, playing tricks very confidently.

Jiang Guling bent his eyebrows and eyes, full of connivance:

"Yeah, I lost."
