"Ah, it's finally here!"

Eiji Kikumaru was the first to say hello to Suzuki Suzuka by raising his hand. He was still chewing something in his mouth when he spoke, and he had no intention of shy away from it, "It's so slow, Suzuka."

Nodding to Kawamura's father who was standing behind the counter making sushi, Suzuki Suzuka bowed politely, "Excuse me."

"It's fine if you don't have to be so polite." With a twist-shaped turban tied on his forehead, the man looks almost identical to Takashi Kawamura, but perhaps because of the combination of the genes of his parents, Takashi Kawamura's eyebrows and eyes are gentler.

"Anyway, they are neighbors, and I will trouble you to take care of this incompetent child in studies in the future." Probably because he heard about her excellent test results from Takashi Kawamura, Kawamura's father made these remarks. Seeing that Suzuki Suzuka responded shyly, he stopped what he was doing, and couldn't help but comment: "However, looking at it now, Suzuka is really beautiful."

Takashi Kawamura stopped his father, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Dad! Don't say that."

Covering her face in embarrassment, Suzuki Suzuka lowered her head and closed the paper door of the sushi restaurant. Even if she turned around and walked in and sat down on the empty seat next to Mikada Sadaharu, she did not raise her head, her eyes still slightly Facing down, staring intently at the empty plates laid out on the table.

After greeting everyone, she still maintained this shy look.

"That's right, it's cute!"

Echoing Kawamura's father, Kikumaru Eiji made noises from the sidelines, but he didn't bother to make jokes. When he was talking, he handed Suzuki Suzuka a small white plate, which was exactly the perfect eel hand that he kindly recommended. "Hey, I've specially left a copy for you, eat it quickly."

"Thank you Kikumaru-kun."

The name became Kikumaru-kun again, and Kikumaru Eiji's enthusiasm suddenly became a little bit low after inexplicably caring about this trivial matter.

Through Takashi Kawamura, Shusuke Fuji, Kunimitsu Tezuka, and Sadaharu Mikami, the eel hand was finally handed over to Suzuki Suzuka.Thanks one by one, she folded her hands together and worshiped, then carefully picked up her hand, and just when she was about to take a bite, Eiji Kikumaru yelled at Suzuki Suzuka again: "Wait! I'd better check again, Be careful not to squeeze mustard on it, I just got tricked!"

"Eiji, isn't that because you took my sushi?" The chestnut-haired boy turned his head slightly, and he still smiled when he spoke, but he lowered his eyebrows slightly, and his delicate face became sad, "Describe me as Such a bad-hearted person really hurts... so, is that how Eiji sees me?"

Not the perfect opponent at all, Kikumaru Eiji hurriedly explained and comforted, "Wow, that's not what I meant!"

After inspecting the eel in his hand and holding it for a while, he didn't find any green suspicious objects. Suzuki Suzuka took a bite carefully, and the way of eating without swallowing it looked very gentle and delicate.

"Ah." With a small exclamation, the girl raised her hand to cover her mouth and chewed the food in her mouth. After swallowing, she sincerely commented: "It's delicious!"

Receiving an approving response from Suzuki Suzuka, Eiji Kikumaru regained his strength from Fuji's blow, and he smiled cheerfully, a shallow dimple could still be seen under the white ok bandage on his face. "Right!"

"Hi, the last piece of eel today is sold!" Kawamura's father raised his arm and wiped his forehead with the wide mid-length cuff, "Sorry, I haven't had time to replenish the raw materials recently."

"No no, we interrupted."

The polite teenagers hurriedly thanked him, and Oishi Shuichiro bowed embarrassingly.

"I said don't be so polite. Anyway, it's the off-season recently. I have to thank you young people for bringing some popularity to my store." The simple and honest man smiled in relief, and he turned his eyes to Kawamura Takashi, "It's a pity Long hasn't learned much yet, otherwise he could help me a bit."

Scratching his head, Takashi Kawamura felt a little uncomfortable in the sight of everyone looking over.

"Uncle Kawamura, Ryu-kun already knows how to make sushi." Suzuki Suzuka spoke softly, but no one ignored her voice, they all turned to listen carefully.

Kawamura's father placed a few more salmon handcuffs on the long table connected to the production counter, and he was surprised: "Hey--do you really know how to make it, kid? Have you eaten it?"

Looking at Takashi Kawamura's eyes, the girl nodded honestly, "Yes."

"How is it? Is it delicious?" With his hands on the wiped counter, Kawamura's father seemed to care more than Kawamura Takashi.

Nodding her lips and moaning softly, Suzuki Suzuka gave a tactful answer, "Well...it's not bad."

There was laughter in the small sushi restaurant, and the hearty and energetic youthful spirit in the laughter caused the office workers passing by outside the store to pause.

"Haha, he still has to learn." Kawamura's father picked up a towel and wiped the countertop, then he shook his head, "It's easy to know how to make sushi, but it's a matter of learning to do it well. "

Scratching the back of his head embarrassingly, Takashi Kawamura stood up and swore his determination to his father: "In the future, I will work hard!"

"Don't tell me, you have to satisfy your first customer."

Following his father's words and turning to Suzuki Suzuka, Takashi Kawamura, who was already a little nervous, didn't know what to say. Seeing him standing there stupidly, the girl chuckled lightly to ease his bewilderment. "Come on, Long Jun."

"Oh!"

Responding loudly, Takashi Kawamura sat back, because the voice and movement were too loud, which triggered a new round of laughter, and he didn't care, he just touched his head and laughed with everyone.

"...Don't you like rice balls?"

Among the group of people, Tezuka Kunimitsu was the quietest, followed by Sadaharu Mikami. He seemed to be observing something, and kept silent all the time. Suzuki Suzuka was surprised when he suddenly made a sound.On the plates in front of her, only the small rice balls wrapped in seaweed remained the most.

Covering her mouth, she quickly chewed the yuziyaki in her mouth and ate it completely before answering: "It's not that I don't like it."

Really like a hamster, looking at the short-haired girl beside him, this idea came to Gan Sadaharu's mind.

"...If you eat this, you won't be able to eat anything else." As if she felt that she had said something bad, the girl blushed slightly, and the light cherry color smudged on her snowy skin. The good face added a beautiful color, "Mr. Qian, do you want to eat?"

In fact, Sadaharu didn't want to eat it, he was just collecting information habitually, but Suzuki Suzuka asked, and he couldn't help but give face.Rejecting such a cute girl is going to hell. With such a serious and mission-oriented thought, he pushed his glasses and responded, "If you don't mind, is it okay?"

"It's okay, as long as you don't mind Qianjun, please."

The girl pushed the plate in front of her desk, and Gan Zhenzhi noticed that the sauce in her small bowl hadn't been touched at all. There was no trace of dipping in vinegar, salt, mustard, let alone other sauces. The rim of the white bowl was as clean as when it was served.

The taste is very light.

Now is not the time to take out a notebook to record, so Qian Zhenzhi wrote it down in his brain.

No wonder Suzuki Suzuka's popularity has increased recently. She seems to be a little more cheerful and outgoing than before.

What was she like before?Gan Sadaharu recalled that he met Suzuki Suzuka many times in school, but he never said hello.Every time she walked in front of him, Shen Shen's eyebrows and eyes were cold and alienated, and her silent appearance was indeed easy to make people feel arrogant. Even if she saw her smiling at the senior, she was not so sincerely happy Smile, Gan Sadaharu has heard many girls privately say that she hates it hypocritically.

However, he felt that this was not the case.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Suzuki Suzuka had finished eating tamagoyaki, and Sadaharu silently pushed his plate aside, seeming to prefer mild-tasting eggs to fresh raw seafood.

Is it because she smiles a lot?That's why it's so pretty.After calmly thinking and analyzing, Qian Zhenzhi finally understood why the boys in his class paid attention to the affairs of Class 1 some time ago.

"Hey, that Suzuki Suzuka from class 1 is really super kawaii, who knows her? Can you introduce me?"

"It turns out that there are such beautiful girls in our school! Is it because it is a natural department? It's too low-key, and I didn't notice it before."

"It's probably because she doesn't dress up very much...but she's cuter with short hair. No wonder there are seniors chasing her in the first grade, so fast!"

……

From being entangled with boys to being enthusiastically pursued because of being too popular, the public opinion has been reversed at once. This is the power of words. It is a bit scary to think about it carefully.

Gan Sadaharu has a very good memory, even if he can't remember things, he will write them down in a notebook, so he will not be as forgetful as those who believe in rumors and spread them by word of mouth. Gan deeply remembers that Suzuki Suzuka was hated Remember their mean faces and cold words.

Even he, an outsider, thinks it is too much, let alone a party who is the center of public opinion.

I must have made a lot of determination, cut my hair, put on glasses, worked hard to get in touch with people, shared my sad past with strangers, and bravely participated in unfamiliar party invitations... It really takes a lot to get out of my own world A lot of courage, Gan Sadaharu thought, especially, the outside world is still full of malice.

He ate a rice ball from a Suzuki Suzuka plate, because he dipped in a little salt, it tasted a little more salty and sweet than before.

"It's better to say less about things you don't understand."

When he said that, the girls became embarrassed, and rolled their eyes at him aggressively, "Then you don't know anything! What's the air, why don't you play tennis and build some muscles when you have time to meddle, four-eyed chicken otaku!"

……

"Thank you Gan-kun." Suzuki Suzuka thanked in a low voice, awakening Gan Sadaharu from the past memory, he responded, saying that you are welcome.

Seeing Sadaharu's calm and quiet appearance, Suzuki Suzuka began to recall.In the first grade, everyone was just a green and immature boy. In the second grade, they jumped up suddenly. The body became stronger because of tennis training, and the figure was also elongated, right? The shadow of the young man.

In the second grade, everyone changed a lot. Oishi Shuichiro shaved his short, rough, straight black hair, but Kikumaru Eiji grew red hair that turned outwards. Kawamura Takashi grew from a thin boy to a tall, strong and gentle boy. Only Fuji Shusuke and Tezuka Kunimitsu have not changed much, one is still smiling, and the other is still serious.

Qian Zhenzhi grew the fastest, he became the main candidate in the second grade, and became the tallest among the group, so his status among the girls changed all of a sudden.Even the girl who targeted him the most in Gan's class fell in love with him, and the girl's confession to Gan Sadaji caused a little stir in the grade.

But he refused.

In fact, at that time, Suzuki Suzuka thought that Sadaharu would agree.

He is still very enthusiastic about beautiful girls, and he is not the ascetic type like Tezuka. That girl is also pretty good-looking, so she was surprised that Gan Sadaharu didn't agree at the time.

Is it because the requirements are high?So, is it because the body is not good enough, the face is not beautiful enough, the studies are not good enough, or... the personality is not gentle enough?

Qian Zhenzhi, favorability: 30.

His favorability is unexpectedly high.

Suzuki Suzuka picked up the tamagoyaki with chopsticks and took a small bite of half of it. Although they are all boys who collect data, the feeling is a little different.

That kind of considerateness and gentleness that observes the details is hot, but it is not hot, and the appropriate warm touch can make people feel very comfortable.

"Thank you for hospitality."

Just like before the start, Suzuki Suzuka put his palms together in front of him and bowed slightly before putting down the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"Hey! Is this enough to eat, really?" Kawamura's father exclaimed in shock, "Let's eat more."

Suzuki Suzuka was the last to come, but the first to finish eating, no wonder it surprised everyone.Surrounded by so many gazes, the girl became shy again. She nodded, and her silky hair swayed with her movements, which was very interesting.

Fearing that they wouldn't believe it, the girl put her hand on her belly and rubbed it for a while, as if to convince them, she whispered softly: "I'm full, really."

"Suzuki-san's appetite is really small." Oishi Shuichiro couldn't help but sighed, "No wonder you are so thin, but you still need to add more protein and fat. It's not good to be too thin."

At the end, he actually read it in bits and pieces, making Suzuki Suzuka smile helplessly.

There's nothing she can do about it. During so many rounds, she has developed some bad habits, and she has become self-willed without anyone watching her.She doesn't pay much attention to the rules of life in terms of diet. She often forgets to eat, because she always prepares meals by herself. Sometimes she feels lazy and doesn't want to go out to eat. She always hesitates to order takeaway. will give up.

You'll be fine if you don't eat a meal.

At the beginning, Suzuki Suzuka had such a fluke idea, but as a result, her stomach has really become not so good.

Seeing that everyone stopped, Suzuki Suzuka quickly stretched out her hand and waved, "Well, please don't mind me, you can eat slowly."

It wasn't until they returned to normal that she exhaled slowly.

After everyone ate and drank enough, this gathering formed by various coincidences was finally able to disband.When it was time to pay the bill, Kawamura's father boldly told him to come and treat him, and he would not accept any money. His enthusiasm made a group of teenagers very embarrassed.

"Dad, let me see them off."

After telling his father, Takashi Kawamura waited at the door for a while, and walked out with Suzuki Suzuka. His home was very close to the store, and it was only a few steps away, but he wanted to say goodbye. The friend who became more familiar, he and Suzuki Suzuka came out to see him off for a while.

Passing by a convenience store on the way, Tezuka Kunimitsu suddenly said, "Sorry, I'm going to buy something." Fuji opened his mouth halfway, and seeing Tezuka Kunimitsu walking towards the convenience store, he closed his mouth Smile up.

Fujisuke pinched his chin and murmured: "You observed very carefully." This was captured by Eiji Kikumaru, who is sensitive to facial features. Seeing Kikumaru's questioning, Fujisuke did not explain, but just made a mistake with a smile and easily changed the topic. opened.

Only Qian Zhenzhi looked over, pushed his glasses and looked at Fuji Shusuke.

When Tezuka Kunimitsu came back, Kikumaru Eiji had already put the previous doubts behind him, and instead had a lively chat with Suzuki Suzuka at the end of the team.

It was not until they were almost out of this street area that the group stopped at the fork.

Grinning as a joke, Kikumaru Eiji waved his hand, "Okay, come here, if you go on, you will walk out of this street." He didn't put down his raised hand, but It is pasted on the forehead and looked around.

"Hey, looking at it this way, which one is Bell Flower's home?"

Oishi Shuichiro frowned, and he reminded slightly: "Kikumaru-kun, you are very rude." His words made Kikumaru a little unhappy, and just as the red-haired youth was about to refute, Suzuki Suzuka intervened. Gentle cool water was poured in before the atmosphere stiffened, thus extinguishing the slightest possibility of sparks igniting.

"It's okay, Oishi-kun." Suzuki Suzuka raised her lips and smiled, she turned around and gestured to Kikumaru Eiji in the void, the girl first found an apartment, "That is Takashi-kun's home."

Following Suzuki Suzuka's movements and nodding his head, Eiji Kikumaru moved closer to her and lowered his body a little, trying to see from her perspective, and then he heard the girl's gentle voice continue to sound, "The one next door, It's my house."

Immediately aware of the different terms of home and house, Fuji Shusuke frowned slightly, but his doubts were hidden under a soft smile, making it completely invisible.

"Wow, it's really close!" Touched by Suzuki Suzuka's breath, Eiji Kikumaru subconsciously moved his head away a little. He felt a little uncomfortable, so his voice raised a lot unconsciously, like As if trying to cover up something, he yelled out, "That's great, childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart."

Feeling helpless and funny, Gan Zhenzhi interjected and said, "These two idioms are not used in this way, Kikumaru."

Eiji Kikumaru spread his hands, "Don't worry about such unimportant things, can you understand it?"

"Really? Eiji doesn't seem to remember the results of the Chinese test?"

After saying this sentence with a smile on his face that made Kikumaru Eiji's whole body stiff, Fujisuke shook his head, "You can't do this, Eiji, Nakajima-sensei will be very sad."

Takashi Kawamura explained honestly, "Actually Suzuka moved here some time ago, we didn't grow up together."

After chatting for a while at the fork in the road, everyone spread out, some people went to the left, some people went to the right, seven people separated, some could still walk a part of the way together, and some could only walk the rest of the way alone. In the end, everyone will be separated.

Seeing that Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't move, Fuji Shusuke looked over with a meaningful smile before leaving.

"Suzuki."

In the end, Tezuka Kunimitsu called her to stop, he didn't say much, just handed over a white square medicine box, and seeing Suzuki Suzuka take it, he quickly withdrew his hand and hung it to his side, with a tall and straight figure Like pine and cypress, in Suzuki Suzuka's impression, it has never been bent.

Turning the medicine box over to look at it, Suzuki Suzuka was silent for a while at the word "Xiaoshi" printed on the box, and then uttered a low "Thank you".

"Digestion tablets... Suzuka, are you full?" Seeing the name of the medicine, Takashi Kawamura realized that he immediately became nervous and looked at Suzuki Suzuka with concern, "Is it okay? I'm really sorry."

Smiling and shaking his head, Suzuki Suzuka's hair shook slightly. "It's not Long Jun's fault, because it's so delicious, that's why I accidentally ate too much..."

The girl pursed her lips shyly, feeling very embarrassed, and then she continued, while the two boys listened carefully, "Actually, I'm not very supportive. Now that I've walked for a while, I've digested a little Woolen cloth."

Kawamura Takashi sighed with half worry and half self-reproach: "As expected of Tezuka-kun, you observe carefully, I didn't notice it at all."

Without receiving the praise, Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at Suzuki Suzuka, and said in an adult-like manner: "Be careful next time." His words were cold and short, as if he was giving a summary report to his subordinates.

However, his face was still just that of a child.

After holding back for a while, Suzuki Suzuka still didn't filter out the smile in the answer. When she saw them so young again, she couldn't help laughing, "Well, I will."

Watching Tezuka Kunimitsu go away, Suzuki Suzuka and Kawamura Takashi walked back.Walking slowly beside the boy whose height has not yet risen, Kawamura Takashi slowed down his pace considering her.

So Suzuki Suzuka suddenly thought, this time, she was no longer walking back alone.

She decided to move to Kawamura Takashi's house because she knew that the Qinggaku Tennis Club would often meet at Kawamura's sushi restaurant.Suzuki Suzuka made such a decision thinking about whether he could increase the chances of getting in touch.It just so happened that Takashi Kawamura's neighbor was about to move out because of a job transfer, so she took the opportunity to buy the house.

This week, her living expenses have more than doubled, and with the money from selling the original house, it is more than enough to buy a house.It was just a little troublesome in the formalities. Suzuki Suzuka was a minor, so she sent a text message to "father" without any expectations, and the matter was resolved smoothly.

Suzuki Suzuka was also surprised that they just wanted to get closer, but fortunately they became closer neighbors.

Probably because in the previous week, all kinds of things happened that caught her off guard, but this time everything went too smoothly, which made her feel a little uneasy.

——Is it really going to be all right?

Seeing that everything was developing as she expected, Suzuki Suzuka began to feel a little scared.

"Now, is your stomach okay?"

Before leaving at the door of the house, Takashi Kawamura asked again worriedly. He had cared many times along the way.Suzuki Suzuka softened her brows and eyes, and this time her smile was extraordinarily soft, making people fall in love with just a glance, "Well, it's all right."

"Don't worry. Long Jun, see you tomorrow."

Watching Suzuki Suzuka open the door and walk in, Takashi Kawamura waved his hand, and his tense face relaxed because of this gentle and hopeful farewell words. "Okay, see you tomorrow!"

The layout of this house is different from her previous ones, her bedroom is on the second floor.

Back in the room, Suzuki Suzuka took off the black-rimmed glasses on his face. He was not used to wearing them when he first put them on, but now he feels fine.

Habits are a terrible thing.

After going through it week by week, didn't she also change from being at a loss at the beginning to the current appearance who is sophisticated and scheming.

Opening the window, she saw that the section of Kawamura's sushi restaurant was still lit.

Hey, the person who walked up to the store was...Fuji Shusuke?

"Excuse me." Fujisuke pushed open the paper door and walked in, but saw that Tezuka Kunimitsu and Oishi Shuichiro were still inside, he opened his mouth in surprise, "You—"

Hecun's father let out a hearty smile, "Haha, there is another one, don't all come back later."

Tezuka Kunimitsu turned his head away and said nothing, while Oishi Shuichiro scratched his face embarrassingly, "No matter how I think about it, I don't think it should be like this. It still doesn't feel good to ask Uncle Kawamura to invite so many things at once."

"Oishi..." His squinted eyes were even more bent, and Fuji Shusuke deepened his smile, "Hehe, that's why Tezuka came back, right?"

"The probability that Tezuka wants to pay all the expenses in advance is 100%." ​​Another calm and steady voice sounded in the sushi restaurant, and answered Fuji Shusuke's question instead of Tezuka Kunimitsu. With so many people, there was no trace of surprise on his face.

Hearing the sound of sliding the door behind him, Gan Sadaharu took a step forward and turned around.

"Ah! Damn it." The moment he opened the door, he saw Gan Sadaharu's face. Eiji Kikumaru couldn't help but sighed. He lowered his hands behind his head and let out another long sigh full of regret. I was preempted! I was the last one!"

Kikumaru Eiji cares about No.1 and the last place in this strange place, he complained a little bit angrily: "I wanted to use this as a treat for you guys."

Fuji Zhousuke thought it was funny, he raised his lips, "Are you going to blackmail us by paying for us once? It's really sad, I didn't expect Eiji to be—"

"Stop, stop." Eiji Kikumaru immediately raised his hands in surrender, "It was my fault."

Putting a white towel on his generous shoulders, Kawamura's father smiled in relief. These friends of Long's are all very good boys.

"Unfortunately, I'm going to disappoint you." He lowered his chin and shook his head, "Someone has already paid the bill. You are all one step too late, young man."

"Huh? Who is it?" Eiji Kikumaru became curious, "Could it be that Kawamura made the pad for us?"

"It's the only girl among you."

Several teenagers looked at each other in blank dismay, and Oishi Shuichiro was even more puzzled and embarrassed. He was obviously very concerned about being treated by a girl who had dinner together for the first time, "Hey, when?"

"Just when you were about to leave. Suzuka, she came over suddenly and said she wanted to pay the bill, which really surprised me." Kawamura's father crossed his arms and recalled, "But, it's very handsome."

"Everyone, why are you still here?" After putting away the things at home, Takashi Kawamura came back to the store to help clean up. When he opened the door and saw everyone was there, he was stunned.

Seeing his silly son, Kawamura's father greeted him, "Long, don't be in a daze, come and help."

When Suzuki Suzuka said to pay, he originally wanted to insist on refusing to accept it, but after she said a few words, he changed his mind.That girl is really good at persuading, or is she too good-looking to be rejected?

"If you don't pay this time, I will be even more embarrassed to eat sushi here next time. Well, I want to taste Uncle Kawamura's craftsmanship again, so please accept it."

How should I put it, beautiful, cute, and handsome.

Under the shy and soft appearance of that girl, her heart and will are very strong.

Holding her chin with her hands on the window sill, Suzuki Suzuka looked down at the streets and alleys below. The sky dimmed a little bit, but the lights were lit up one by one, so she could see the figures walking back one by one, and finally in the shop again. gather together.

All of them are really idiots.

Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on her lips for the first time except when facing the target of the raid.The snow melted, the glaciers melted, and after the cold winter passed, flower buds emerged from the branches, quietly waiting for the time to bloom again.

A bird was attracted by the girl's beauty and landed on the window sill. It chirped and kept beating its feet with a nimble and keen look, but it didn't know that it flew away when Suzuki Suzuka approached .

"...You are also an idiot."

After lightly tapping the bird's head, Suzuki Suzuka withdrew her hand.

Surprised, it flapped its wings, and the unknown bird was not scared away by Suzuki Suzuka, but was startled by Kikumaru Eiji's shout and flew into the distance.

Following the direction Suzuki Suzuka pointed out before, Eiji Kikumaru found her house in a residential area full of buildings without any mistakes. He called her name with great momentum, as if he had called her a thousand times, with enthusiasm And intimate.

"Suzuki Suzuka—! We owe you once, next time, we will ask you!"

There was a sound that stirred up a thousand waves. This time, not only the windows of Suzuki Suzuka's house were opened, but also the windows of nearby residential houses were opened, with faces of doubt or anger protruding out.

"It's so noisy! Who is it?"

Under the accusations, several figures beside the red-haired boy rushed up to surround Kikumaru and beat him, and ran away while fighting.

Taking a deep breath, Suzuki Suzuka had an inexplicable impulse, so she also raised her volume and shouted: "Okay! I remembered!"

When the faces protruding from the windows of the houses on both sides looked over, she immediately dodged into the room, but even though she was sitting far away on the bed opposite the window, Suzuki Suzuka could vaguely see a few teenagers standing on the street Shadow waving.

——Maybe she is also an idiot?
