man in tokyo, professional boyfriend

Chapter 144 [143] You won't let me pay!

Chiho Aiba has a very small appetite, or in other words, Shiina Iori is used to having a big appetite at home.

— Not to mention refusing to take a single step a day, playing games at home, but still eating nine bowls of Yui Igarashi for three meals in the morning, noon and evening.

Even Nagisa Miyahara, who looks slender, can eat a big bowl in one meal, and he also needs to fill up some fruit and vegetable snacks after the meal.

In comparison, Chiho Aiba, whose belly bulges visible to the naked eye, just started clutching her stomach and grunting after eating half of the plate of meat, is simply a bird's stomach.

However, she obviously couldn't eat any more, but she still watched Shiina Yizhi helplessly as she grilled the meat on the iron plate, with an aggrieved and greedy look on her face.

Shiina Iori looked up: "Are you full yet?"

Aiba Chiho nodded, then shook her head again.

He rubbed his belly with his hands in circles.

Like a baby inside.

She picked up her phone and wanted to write something.

"quack~"

There was a sudden hiccup.

Aiba Chiho was taken aback for a moment, then immediately covered her small mouth, her long hair at the temples drooped down, and her eyes drooped timidly, not daring to look at him.

Shiina Iori picked up a plate of pickled cucumbers from the side and handed it to her: "Eat some vegetables to relieve the greasy, it's too oily."

Aiba Chiho obediently lowered her head, grabbed the cucumber and ate it.

Shiina Iori watched her eat from across the table.

After hearing what she said just now, Shiina Iori also somewhat understood why Aiba would stand up to help him when the two met at the company party for the first time.

People will always sympathize with those unlucky people who have the same experience as themselves.

It's just that, like Chiho Aiba, who is silent and shy in daily life, but can smile when talking about the scars of the past, it is still a minority among the minority.

Perhaps, this is the expression of a strong heart hidden under the weak appearance?

Shiina Iori thinks about philosophical issues related to human nature through dialectical materialism.

As if to stop a little embarrassment, Aiba Chiho raised the phone again.

【Shiina-kun's grilled meat is so delicious. 】

[Although it was delicious in the past, it is the first time that it is as full as it is today. 】

Shiina Iori's trance was interrupted by a prompt on the system panel.

【Cooking +1】

The culinary skills that I haven't understood for a long time have finally jumped to another level.

[Cooking: 51 (Expert)]

The original 'occupation' label has become 'expert'.

"Thank you."

"If you have a chance, please eat something else."

Shiina Iori smiled from the bottom of her heart.

As if attracted by Shiina's bright smile, Aiba Chiho's eyes paused for a moment, then quickly dropped.

Don't know what to think.

Start typing on the phone again.

[It won't be something strange, right? 】

Shiina Iori: "Does Aiba-san have any taboos?"

【Raw, sticky. Sashimi, sea cucumber, octopus, natto, don’t eat any of this! 】

[I don’t even eat coriander! 】

"Well, remember." Shiina Iori agreed.

Aiba Chiho thought again and continued typing.

[If you make it for me to eat, can I use a bento belt?If Shiina-kun takes me to your house, I will be too nervous to eat]

[But because there is a high probability that it will be delicious, I am reluctant to go. 】

[I will be very tangled. 】

Aiba Chiho wrote sincerely, looked up at Shiina Iori, and nodded seriously.

Shiina Iori smiled helplessly: "It's okay, I share a room, and there are other people in the family, all of whom are girls."

Hearing this, not only did Aiba Chiho not be relieved, but she immediately looked at him in horror.

Her little hands trembled, but her fingertips were still crackling on the screen.

[Group rental, are the others all girls? ! 】

[Could it be, could it be that kind of shared house with the name 'Shiina's Crystal Palace', a total of seven rooms, and a beauty living in each room, who takes turns visiting each week and takes a day off on Sunday (Sunday)? ! 】

Aiba Chiho looked at Shiina Iori with a horrified expression, hesitating with her fingertips on the alarm button of the phone, as if thinking about whether it would be too late to call the police at this moment.

"How could such a thing happen." Shiina Iori waved her hands helplessly, "Aiba-san, why is your imagination always used in strange places."

"Though it does have seven bedrooms."

Shiina Iori brazenly labeled the flat floor as a "lease", which is completely free except for cooking every day, and does not pay rent at all.

It's even more shameless than a certain Miss Sano who prostituted him as a rented boyfriend.

Aiba Chiho squinted at him.

Look suspicious.

However, in order to have the opportunity to eat such delicious barbecue in the future, Aiba Chiho didn't say anything.

The two of them were full, and when they were about to pay, they pushed each other again.

The main performance is that Shiina Iori, with the general's smile on her face, pressed Aiba Chiho's head with one hand, pushed her half a foot away from the front desk, and then reached out to pay the money.

Fortunately, Japan still uses paper money.

This time, Aiba Chiho, who had agreed to treat her, was furious. Ever since they came out of the small shop, she had never held up her mobile phone in front of Shiina.

However, because Shiina said that she wanted to eat dessert, the two of them still strolled and went to the dessert shop that Aiba mentioned while digesting food.

Seeing Chiho Aiba's angry expression like a child, Shiina Iori felt a little amused.

"Aiba-san?"

"Humph."

"Please treat me to dessert."

"Ok?"

Hearing these words, Aiba Chiho raised her eyelids, and looked at Shiina with distrust.

After taking another two steps, she looked at Shiina and typed on her mobile phone angrily.

【You don't even let me pay! 】

Shiina Iori laughed: "Because I ate most of the four plates of meat I ordered, how can I ask you to pay the bill."

"But not dessert."

Hearing this, Aiba Chiho finally restrained her angry expression, her eyes sparkled.

【I'll pay? 】

"Yes, you pay."

Only then did she happily walk a few steps, as if she could fly to the store immediately.

After crossing a commercial street and entering an alley, Aiba Chiho led Shiina Iori through the alleyways extending in all directions to the empty street near the residential area on the other side.

Compared with the other side just now, the road is obviously much deserted, and there are almost no people.

The street is very quiet.

"Well!"

Aiba Chiho stretched out her finger and gestured to Shiina Iori to the side.

Shiina looked up.

From a distance, I saw a small dessert shop with the brand of "Okugiran の Rabbit Sauce".

At the door of the store, a thin and sickly elderly woman in home clothes with long hair draped over her shoulders lay down on a recliner, quietly basking in the sun.

He held an open book on his chest, but his eyes were almost closed.

Like falling asleep.

Seeing her lying down, Aiba Chiho cautiously pointed her finger at Shiina Iori, and softly hissed.

Even the footsteps when approaching are very light.

The woman seemed very sensitive, and opened her eyes automatically when the two of them got closer to five meters.

First, he glanced at the two of them lightly with blank eyes, and it took a few seconds before he seemed to become conscious.

"It's Chiho."

"Didn't you just buy dim sum this week?"

"Beware of cavities."

She had a flat voice and no emotion, as if she wasn't interested in anything.

Is this Miss Kasugano?
It is completely different from Shiina Iori's image of a friendly and kind psychiatrist.

Seeing that she was awake, Aiba Chiho walked over nervously and held up her phone to show her something.

Ms. Kasugano tilted her head, glanced in the direction of Shiina Iori, waved at Chiho Aiba casually, and fell back on the reclining chair again.

She glanced at her watch, picked up a few pills from the small table beside her, and swallowed them with a cup of tea next to her.

"Ah~"

Aiba Chiho stretched out her small hand, beckoning Shiina Iori to enter the shop to pick out desserts.

It seemed that she was afraid that Shiina Iori might misunderstand something, so she raised her mobile phone to explain.

【Miss Kasugano is actually a very good person】

[However, she is also sick, and her attitude towards strangers is not very good]

[sometimes not normal]

Aiba Chiho showed Shiina Iori a look, and showed him an embarrassed expression from behind the phone.

Shiina turned her head and looked over, just in time to meet Miss Kasugano's blank gaze.

There was no response.

"fine."

Shiina Iori didn't care, he had seen a lot of abnormal people recently.

With that said, the two entered the shop together.

The automatic door slid open to both sides, and the alarm bell on the door frame made a ding ding sound.

A familiar voice came from the direction of the counter.

"Welcome, may I ask you."

Sano Shino's enthusiastic voice was halfway through, when her eyes stopped on Shiina Iori's face.

The next moment, it turned to the shoulders where the two were almost touching.

She paused, and pressed the brim of her hat again.

The originally enthusiastic voice faded a little.

"...Need something."

　The second more ~ ​​Bowl!
　　The book friend reminded me that I found out that Chiho-chan’s heroine was not included. I forgot about it before. I just read the book review area and asked if it was the heroine. BYZGR
　　And oh, bipolar disorder is not the inability to speak, it is the inability to organize language logic, which is equivalent to the super-evolution of stuttering, inability to speak complete words, and being dumb and unable to speak are two different things, knock on the blackboard!
