——Please start your sophistry.
She conveyed this with her eyes.
Emmmm…
Just then, Wu Yi's cell phone on the bedside table rang.
The caller ID lit up with five big characters: Ichinose Honoki.
Arisu Sakayanagi also noticed this at the first moment. She smiled and slowly uttered a word in an unyielding tone.
"catch."
"..."
Just pick it up.
Putting down the hair dryer in his hand, Wu Yi picked up the mobile phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello? Ichinose?"
"Well...it's me."
Ichinose Honami's voice came out, with a little bit of nervousness.
"Um, the video I posted on the forum... Did you watch it, Wu Yi?"
"I saw it. I just saw it. I think it's well said."
Wu Yi told the truth.
"Really? That's good..."
Hearing this, Ichinose on the other end of the phone was visibly relieved, and after calming down a bit, she continued.
"By the way, I haven't had time to thank you for what happened before, so tomorrow is Sunday, classmate Wu Yi, are you free? I'd like to have dinner together or something... Of course, this will be included in my personal expenses."
"Ah? This is..."
Wu Yi wanted to say that this was not necessary, but the white-haired loli in his arms stopped him with a look and moved her lips slightly to make a shape.
【go】.
"...Okay, I'm free at noon and in the evening, so this doesn't matter."
"Night then."
As if afraid that Wu Yi would go back on her word, Ichinose Hoba said a few words after the agreed time and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
Arisu Sakayanagi dangled her little feet gently under the quilt, her tone leisurely and relaxed.
"It seems that a lot of things happened that I don't know about?"
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
Ah Xiba is stuck again...it's cracked.
Volume 273: Chapter This is the Queen's generosity (funny)
Wu Yi had an appointment with Ichinose to have dinner, so at five o'clock in the evening, he stepped into the south entrance of the shopping mall on time.
And at first glance I saw the girl with long pink hair who sent a message saying that she was waiting at the designated location.
Ichinose was obviously dressed up carefully today. She wore a cream-colored sweater on the upper body, connected with a pleated skirt, and black tights on the lower body, matched with flat-heeled leather shoes that had just been polished to a shine. She also had a small bag slung over her shoulder, which probably contained tissues or something.
Behind her is a store that specializes in selling various small items. There are many kinds of goods but the prices are cheap. They are basically small bottles of perfume, dolls, hairpins and the like. In short, they are all things that girls like, so most of the people coming in and out of this place are women.
It wouldn't look weird for a girl like Ichinose to stand by the store entrance and play with her phone. At first glance, it looks like she's hanging out with friends but because she doesn't want to buy anything and is afraid of being embarrassed when facing the cashier when checking out, she's just waiting outside.
This girl has the potential to be an Assassin...
With all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, Wu Yi walked over quietly and unnoticed, then deliberately took out his cell phone beside Ichinose when she wasn't paying attention, and put it to his mouth pretending to send a voice message.
"Hey Ichinose, I'm here, where are you?"
"Eh!??"
Hearing a familiar voice ringing in her ears, and it was her own name being called, Ichinose Hoba instantly raised her head quickly with a confused look on her face, like a little rabbit with its ears scratched, and looked left and right... and then she saw someone who was already standing next to her.
"what--"
Ichinose patted his full chest and breathed a sigh of relief, looking a little annoyed.
"Student Wu Yi, what a fool! If you are here, why don't you just call me? You scared me."
"Ahaha, is that so exaggerated?"
Wu Yi was a little happy.
"But to be honest, I was a little surprised. I was worried what would happen if I came over and found your entire class collectively bowing 90 degrees and loudly thanking me, Brother Wu Yi. Just thinking about that scene would be very explosive."
"What the hell is going on..."
Ichinose was amused by this chaotic description. He smiled with his hands covering his mouth and then coughed lightly in a serious manner.
"Well, actually they did plan to do so at the beginning, but I really didn't have the money to treat them to a meal together, and the expenses would increase with so many people, so I told them that I can treat you alone."
"...Ah, you really said that?"
Wu Yi suddenly discovered something special.
And Ichinose nodded as a matter of course.
"Yes, everyone is very reasonable. They all understood what I said very quickly. Is there any problem?"
"Ah, no, it's okay..."
Wu Yi quickly waved his hand and changed the subject.
"By the way, what are we having for dinner tonight? Ichinose, have you chosen a place?"
"Yes, I've already chosen it. It's a newly opened western restaurant. I heard it has good reviews and is located upstairs..."
Ichinose chose a Western restaurant called Mexican Kitchen or something with some English text.
Judging from the content on the advertising banner, it seems that the main dishes here are cheese baked rice and the like. The prices are quite affordable and the portions are large and filling. In addition, in order to attract married women and build a good reputation, these newly opened restaurants usually use good ingredients at the beginning, so it is considered the first choice for dining out with friends.
It just so happens that Wu Yi likes this kind of filling and high-calorie food.
After all, the daily consumption is there.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is quite good. Not only is there melodious music, but all the floor-to-ceiling windows facing outward are made of double-layered soundproof glass. The store is quite quiet, and even the customers who dine here don't speak too loudly.
Wu Yi and Ichinose were sitting on the side against the wall. They had just ordered their dishes and it would take some time before they were served.
"actually--"
Ichinose suddenly spoke up and broke the silence.
Wu Yi hummed with a rising tone.
"Actually what?"
"I was just trying to say, when I called you yesterday, Wu Yi, it wasn't very convenient for you to answer the phone, right?"
"Ah? How did you find out?"
"It's the tone."
Ichinose smiled.
"Maybe Wu Yi herself couldn't sense it, but I could still hear it. The tone of voice on the phone was obviously different from when she was talking normally."
There is such a thing...
Wu Yi felt a little helpless.
"Hey, Arisu was next to me at the time, and she happened to be listening when you called."
"…Sakayanagi-san?"
Ichinose blinked twice.
"That's incredible. Does that mean Sakayanagi-san agrees with you and me to go out for dinner?"
"Yeah, she agreed."
Wu Yi said it nicely, but she couldn't help but pout in her heart.
He thought to himself, forget about agreeing to have dinner with you, girl, you don't know that she was promoting her own follower Kamuro Masumi to me late last night. If it were in the past, that scene would definitely be promoting her own maid who came with the dowry.
"That's really..."
The girl was stunned, not quite understanding what was going on.
Even though Sakayanagi-san usually looks like such a strong person.
"By the way, let me ask you one more question."
As if he suddenly remembered something, Wu Yi said "oh" and moved his body slightly forward.
"Regarding the votes of appreciation given to other classes during the withdrawal exam, Ichinose, have you and your class decided what to do about it?"
"Eh? Are you giving praise tickets to other classes?"
Ichinose nodded his lips and thought for a while, then slowly shook his head.
"Not yet. But it's not that I haven't thought about it yet. I haven't thought about it at all. Because I was basically thinking about how to waive the expulsion penalty, and I didn't have time to think about anything else. I guess in the end it will all be a free vote for everyone."
"Yeah, that's good."
Wu Yi relaxed a little.
"Actually, I have a deal I want to discuss with you, Ichinose."
"Transaction?" The girl was puzzled.
"Well, I want to buy your entire Class B's votes for other classes." Wu Yi said, "And in return, I will tell you some information about the final exam in advance. The source is quite reliable, it's Uncle Sakayanagi... Chairman Sakayanagi."
"Uh... Does that mean that our entire class will vote for you, Wu Yi, as the only one who appreciates other classes?"
Ichinose thought about it for a moment.
"It should be no problem. I just need to tell the others in advance. No need for any transactions. After all, everyone is very grateful to Wu Yi for borrowing the points this time. Just think of it as returning a favor."
"No, not for me."
Wu Yi shook his index finger.
"I want you all to vote for Arisu."
"Uh, is it for protection points?"
Ichinose was quite smart and immediately figured out the cause and effect relationship.
"But……"
"Yes."
Wu Yi admitted it without hesitation.
"Although if nothing unexpected happens, Arisu will be able to get protection points even without the 40 foreign aid tickets from Class B, but... anyway, just treat it as my personal willfulness."
"Um……"
Ichinose thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
"I understand. Since classmate Wu Yi said so, I will do so."
Volume 274: Chapter : Rounding off is about equal to confession
After all, it's not a formal date between lovers, so it's impossible to have the whole set of activities including eating, shopping and watching movies.
Especially in shopping malls where there are a lot of people, it would be okay for Wu Yi if she was recognized by someone, but it would be bad for a girl like Ichinose who is still single.
She just issued a clarification statement yesterday, and it was hotly discussed on the school forum. But today she was seen having a date and dinner with other boys outside. It is inevitable that all kinds of rumors will arise.
So to sum up, after dinner, the two of them decisively decided to end their dinner date today.
After leaving the western restaurant, Ichinose took the initiative to pull Wu Yi's sleeve.
"If this is the end, I plan to go back to the dormitory next. Does Wu Yi have any other plans?"
"I?"
Wu Yi thought about it for a moment.
"Hmm...I don't think I have anything to say."
