[Comprehensive] The neighbor's she is too popular

The snow-white prunes rice ball was bouncing in Xingyin's hands, and she quickly squeezed it into a beautiful triangle shape.

Xingyin repeated the movement of flipping the rice balls, staring at one point with dull eyes, in a daze.

"Is it plum rice ball today? It's surprisingly simple."

Xiaochun, who was standing at the cooking table in front of Xingyin, looked back at Xingyin and muttered to himself.

"And is she in a daze...?"

Kyoko, who was seriously studying the recipes and thinking about what to do today, replied: "It's okay to be distracted when kneading rice balls, right? I often get distracted and memorize words when kneading rice balls."

"Hey! Is this the power of Xueba?!"

Xingyin held the rice spoon, took a long breath, pulled back Fangfei's train of thought, and looked around: "Eh? Didn't the seniors come today?"

Hearing Xingyin's voice, Xiaochun turned around and answered her: "Oh, I came, but I went back after wandering around. You came a bit late so I didn't meet you."

"Oh—the class monitor left earlier today, please let me help her sort out her homework and hand it over to the teacher, so I was delayed."

Kyoko turned down the fire, fiddled with the pot on the fire, put the lid on, and turned to join the conversation with interest.

"It's really rare that Xingyin can make the staple food today." Kyoko said cheerfully, "I thought you liked desserts and snacks more."

"I want to do something easy today." Xingyin said, and then she whispered, "Eating desserts and snacks every day will make you gain weight."

"Ah yes!"

When it comes to the topic of eating sweets and gaining weight, it seems that every girl has endless opinions. For example, Xiaochun nodded enthusiastically.

"It's really sad to have to convert a delicious food into a nasty fat..."

Jingzi comforted her: "It is because you have to eat it with restraint, so it looks very delicious."

Xingyin: "...that makes sense."

"Xingyin, on the other hand, seems to have been distracted? Is there something distressing?" Jingzi carefully observed Xingyin's face, and said softly.

"You can talk to Xiaochun and Jingzi." Xiaochun patted her chest, with an expression of "put it on us".

Xingyin's heart warmed up, and she waved her hands with a smile: "You guys are thinking too much, it's no big deal. But, have you ever seen a little cat in an alley near the school?"

"Flower cat?" Xiaochun and Jingzi looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "I haven't seen it before."

Xingyin murmured as if talking to herself: "I have seen it since the first day of school, and brought food to it every day. I went there late today and found that someone else brought food to it..."

Xiaochun's eyes widened: "So, Xingyin is jealous?"

"..." Xingyin choked, "How is it possible, I'm just a little strange..."

Jingzi said: "There are many kind-hearted people...is this a good thing?"

"It's really a good thing. What I mean is..." Xingyin frowned, as if she was distressed, "Should I take the little guy back for adoption?"

"Eh?" Xiaochun and Jingzi looked at each other again.

At this time, the half-closed door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open, and a handsome boy with blue-purple curly hair walked in briskly.

"Hi, girls." Shen Er's voice was as frivolous as ever, "I saw an acquaintance outside, so I came in to disturb."

He walked up to Xingyin, looked at the prunes rice balls that Xingyin had neatly packed in the lunch box, and wowed.

"Senior Jiantong." Xingyin didn't expect him to come here, she was a little surprised, but still greeted him.

Shen Er smiled very gently, he pointed at the prunes rice ball with his finger: "Can I try it?"

"Ah." Xingyin pushed the lunch box towards Shen Er, "Please use it quickly."

Shen Er gently pinched a rice ball with his index finger and thumb, and took a bite: "...the rice ball is as simple as it looks."

"..." Xingyin coughed a little shyly, "Because it's just a rice ball, and the material is just rice... The only difference is that there is a prunes stuffed inside..."

"You think too much, little beauty, I don't mean to complain." Shen Er stood on tiptoe and simply sat on the empty cooking table next to him, crossed his legs and gnawed on rice balls while asking Xingyin, "By the way, what did you do last time?" I ran away before I could ask you, what's your name?"

"Takemoto Apricot."

"That's Xingyin." Shen Er's eyes shifted to Xiaochun and Jingzi in front of Xingyin, "Then what about these two beauties?"

Haru and Kyoko held hands, looking at Shen Er warily.

Xiaochun was still muttering: "How rude, this person..."

Jingzi tugged at Xiaochun, signaling her not to speak.

Shen Er spread his hands indifferently: "It's fine if you don't tell, anyway, my main purpose is not you two. —By the way, don't you smell the smell? Your pot seems to be about to explode."

Jingzi was startled, and hurriedly opened the lid to turn off the fire, while Xiaochun let out a short and annoyed scream.

Xingyin was about to go over to check the situation, when she saw Shen Er jumping off the table and rubbing against her: "Xingyin."

"...Senior?" Xingyin stopped in her tracks and looked at him suspiciously.

Shen Er didn't know when he held the phone in his palm, he shook the phone in front of Xingyin's eyes: "Exchange contact information?"

"Oh, yes."

Xingyin took the call and entered her phone number and email address into Shen Er's cell phone.

Shen Er answered the phone: "I will ask you to go to the movies next time."

"……Uh?"

"Going shopping or in the game hall is also fine."

[Is this an invitation to deepen friendship? 】

Xingyin blinked, a little excited, couldn't help nodding to Shen Er repeatedly.

"OK!"

Shen Er snorted and laughed: "I guess you will be looking forward to it too."

After speaking, he waved his hands reservedly to say goodbye, and soon left the cooking club.

Xingyin watched him leave, and then looked away, and saw Xiaochun and Jingzi blocking her left and right like gods, with serious expressions on her face, as if she had failed the entrance exam.

"Xingyin!" Xiaochun said seriously, "A boy like that seems to be very playful."

Kyoko, who has always been gentle, stood beside Xiaochun and nodded in agreement.

"I know that boy looks handsome, but his personality is a bit frivolous!" Xiaochun frowned, "Xingyin is more suitable for mature and stable men!"

"...???" Xingyin looked blank, "I know the senior is handsome but frivolous, but this has nothing to do with me?"

Xiaochun paused: "Didn't you agree to the senior's invitation and look very excited?"

Xingyin blinked: "Shouldn't it be...? Someone invited me to play!"

"..." Xiaochun looked at Xingyin, then turned to Jingzi and said seriously, "I think Xingyin is still a child."

Kyoko hummed and nodded in agreement.

"Wow, Kusuo, what a coincidence, we can go home together!"

Xingyin was half a step behind Qi Mu, following behind him enthusiastically.

[The so-called "going home together" means walking together for 5 minutes and then arriving at the door. ] Qi Mu glanced at the lunch box in Xingyin's hand, 【Is today a rice ball...? 】

Xingyin noticed Qi Mu's movement of tilting her head, and she handed out the lunch box: "Do you want to eat? Today is prunes rice balls."

[No, no, no. ] Saiki shook his head, 【I'm not interested in rice balls...】

"Eating too much sweets will make you fat." Xingyin tried to teach him, "This rice ball can be kept in the refrigerator for breakfast."

[My mother cooks breakfast for me every morning so I don't need it. ... Tsk, forget it. 】

Qi Mu reached out to take the lunch box and thanked him in a low voice.

"I still keep half for myself." Xingyin showed Qi Mu another lunch box full of rice balls, "What are you going to do next time? You have to think about it carefully."

[My suggestion is dessert or dessert. 】

"Speaking of which, Kusuo, I want to get a cat."

...?

"There is a stray cat near the school, it's very cute." Xingyin looked a little excited, "I want to take the little one home to raise it, what do you think? I can hug it and play with you."

[I am not a three-year-old child who is full of exploration spirit about animals. 】

[In fact, I don't have a good impression of cats. 】

[I can't understand the word "cute" in cats and dogs. 】

[And there is another important reason...]

No.

"Eh? Why did you refuse?"

My mom is allergic to cat fur.Saiki stared at Xingyin, so cats are not allowed in my house.

"..." Xingyin fell silent, tilted her head for a while, and then sighed, "Forget it..."

...?

"It seems that other well-meaning people also fed the kitten, just in case it is adopted by others."

Didn't you just say that you want to raise it?

"But isn't Auntie Qimu allergic to cat hair?" Xingyin said confidently, "I often visit your house, it would be bad if Auntie got sick because of it!"

……

[Why can this person say the line "often visiting" so cheekily and without psychological pressure? 】

【Have you asked my opinion yet? 】

Qi Mu glanced at Xingyin humming a ditty tune while carrying a lunch box.

【... Forget it, this time it's for the sake of rice balls. 】

【Too lazy to care about you, anyway, it's a good thing to have someone to deal with a full-time mother who is bored at home. 】
