On the Making of Steamed Bun [Net King]

The young man's physical strength recovered quickly. During the day, he was still in a state of being mashed into mud, but after dinner, he was full of vigor again.Gan Meiya looked at the boys who were about to go out and dress up, she couldn't help raising her brows, and before she could speak, she saw the orange-haired boy rushing to her side as if he had installed a small motor, and grabbed hold of it tightly with both hands. Her wrist: "Hey, Teacher Meiya, there is a temple fair tonight, come with us."

temple fair?Gan Meiya was startled for a moment, but then she understood. She lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, pulled her wrist out of the boy's hand, and said with a smile, "I won't go, you guys have fun."

"Hey, don't want to, let's go together, it will be fun if we go to play together." Akutagawa's hand climbed onto Ganmei's arm again, begging.

Gan Meiya smiled helplessly, and glanced over the teenagers who had changed into bathrobes one after another. Her dark almond eyes turned slightly, and she found a reason: "I didn't bring a bathrobe."

"You don't have to wear a yukata. You see, the supervisor is still wearing a suit." For some reason, Jiro Akutagawa's mind was spinning very fast this time.

When she saw Sakakitaro standing at the door in a suit and leather shoes dressed for going out, the corners of Kanmiya's mouth twitched fiercely. Before she could come up with the second excuse, she was dragged into the car by Akutagawa Jirou.

Under the night, when the lights came on, this ancient city in Kansai was dyed with a mysterious color under the cover of night. Gan Meiya sat near the window, leaning her head against the window, looking out of the window, the vermilion lacquered torii gate in the Even more lonely at night, she lowered her head to look at the palm of her hand, her five fingers curled up and slightly clenched into fists.

"Huh? What's the matter?" A deliberately low voice came from next to my ear, and there was no lack of concern in the tone.

Gan Meiya was startled again, turned her head to look at the purple-gray haired boy sitting beside her, and when her gaze touched the tear mole at the corner of his eye, she pursed her lips and smiled: "It's nothing."

"If you don't like shopping, then find a place to rest and wait for us." The insightful young man saw the embarrassment hidden between Gan Meiya's brows, and showed his considerate side for the first time.

Gan Meiya was stunned for the third time, but she quickly returned to normal, she frowned slightly, and said with a smile, "Since you're here, let's go shopping." The last time I came here was three years ago.

Atobe turned to Gan Meiya, raised his hand and touched the tear mole at the corner of his eye, and after a while, said, "It's up to you."

Gan Meiya glanced at Atobe in surprise, but she didn't notice anything unusual on that handsome face. She twitched the corners of her mouth and continued to turn her head to look out the window.

The car stopped on the side of the road not far from the temple fair. Atobe got out of the car first, and Gan Meiya was the last one. When she just stepped out of the car door, she heard the young man say: "Let's go separately, gather here in three hours. .” Seeing that Akutagawa and Mukahi Asamime were close together, Atobe pointed and ticked again, “Akutagawa, Xianghi, you two follow me.”

"Hey, didn't you mean to act separately?" Xiang Ri was taken aback and asked.

"That's right, Atobe's words are nothing!" Akutagawa echoed with a dissatisfied expression.

"Huh? You two have an opinion?" Atobu raised his eyebrows, and his words were full of threats of "you dare to have an opinion".

"..." Xiang Ri and Akutagawa looked at each other, and walked to Atobe's side with heavy steps and unwilling faces.

The teenagers dispersed in twos and threes, leaving only Sakaki Taro and Kanmiya left in place. Even the driver brother ran away under the instruction of Atobe. A man and a woman looked at each other, as if they hadn't found the next step What should be done, Gan Meiya stared at the direction where the teenagers disappeared, finally pursed her mouth, and said: "It's fine if you don't bring Mrs. Sakaki, why even I was abandoned, is there really a generation gap with them? "

When Sakakitaro heard this, a black line climbed up the back of his head.

Gan Meiya looked around, determined the current position based on her past memory, sighed secretly, turned her head to look at Sakaki Taro, and asked, "Mr. Sakaki, how about we be a temporary companion?"

"Yes." Sakakitaro nodded slightly, but did not refute Kanmiya's proposal.

Gan Meiya raised her hand and brushed her hair, which was blown by the night wind, behind her ears, revealing her delicate and small ears. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. After exhaling, she walked towards the entrance of the temple fair .

Sakaki Taro looked at Kanmiya's receding figure, frowned slightly, and followed her.

The two were silent all the way, one in front of the other, separated by no more than two steps, Gan Meiya looked around, a dazzling array of goods, the sound of hawking one after another, the bustling crowd, and the aroma of familiar things, and the memory stored There was not much difference in the scene here, she couldn't help but smiled knowingly, turned her head, and her eyes stayed on a booth.

Sakaki Taro also stopped, and followed Kanmiya's line of sight to see that there were all kinds of masks hanging on the two-meter-high wooden frame. If they were special, there was nothing special about them. They could even be said to be extremely ordinary. Sakaki Taro frowned slightly, and walked quickly to Kanmiya's side, caught the flash of sadness on her face by the light on the side of the road, he pursed his lips, and did not speak.

Gan Meiya walked to the booth, picked up a fox mask, looked at the pattern on the mask, raised the corners of her mouth, put the mask on her face, turned her head, and looked at the mask standing beside her through the hole in the mask with dark almond eyes. Sakaki Taro next to him asked, "How is it?"

Never expecting that Kanmiya would ask his opinion, Sakakitaro was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not suitable for you."

She didn't expect that Sakakitaro would give such an answer. Gan Mia was stunned, took off the mask on her face and put it back where it was, and smiled self-deprecatingly. A cat face mask was handed to her, and she was stunned again. He raised his head and looked at the serious man, not quite understanding the meaning of his move.

Sakaki Taro coughed lightly and said, "This."

"Cat?" Gan Meiya couldn't help smiling, and reached out to take it, "Is this suitable for me?"

"Yeah." Sakakitaro nodded.

Kanmei put the mask on her face, looked at Sakaki Taro again: "Does it look good?"

"Yeah." Sakakitaro nodded again.

"Then I want this." Gan Meiya pushed up the mask and buckled it on her head. Her soft hair was curved by the elastic cord. She swept around the booth and tiptoed to take it off. The dog face mask hanging on the top was stuffed into Sakaki Taro's arms, and he turned to look at the stall owner, "Boss, buy two, it's cheaper."

"..." Sakaki Taro stared blankly at the dog-face mask in his hand, and then recalled what Kanmiya said just now, and really didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at this moment.

After paying the money, Gan Meimei patted Sakaki Taro on the shoulder: "Mr. Sakaki, let's go."

"Yeah." Sakakitaro nodded slightly, and left the mask booth. Instead of walking one after the other with Ganmei, he walked side by side. Sakakitaro glanced at the mask in his hand again, the dog face sticking out his tongue It seemed to be laughing at him that a big man also played with masks. After struggling again and again, he said, "Mr. Gan, you put away this mask."

"Eh?" Gan Meiya, who was looking left and right, was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Sakaki Taro, and said solemnly, "Is this for Mr. Sakaki?"

"Give it to me? Did you make it up because it was cheaper to buy two?" Sakaki Taro was a little concerned about this question.

"...This reason only accounts for 25%, and the main reason is to express my gratitude by giving Teacher Sakaki something." Gan Meiya was taken aback again, and said.

"Didn't Mr. Gan still owe me two meals?" Sakaki Taro, who had a superb memory, did not forget Gan Miya's promise at that time.

"..." Gan Meiya realized that the number of times she was blocked with words tonight was several times that of the past. She touched her nose, smiled coyly, and said, "I'm sorry that these two meals have been delayed and not realized. So I bought something to make up for it. Mr. Sakaki sees when he is free, and we will have a meal together."

"Call Kami Atobe." Sakakitaro suddenly realized that he shouldn't mention eating, and quickly added.

"Student Atobe?" Gan Meiya blinked, then suddenly came to her senses, and nodded, "Yes, no problem. I just don't know what kind of food Atobe likes to eat."

Seeing that Gan Meiya agreed readily without asking any questions, Sakakitaro breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and touched the dog's nose, and decided to change the subject: "Why did Teacher Gan choose this mask for me?"

Gan Meiya glanced at the mask in Sakakitaro's hand, pursed her lips, and said, "I think it suits you."

"..." A black line climbed up the back of Sakaki Taro's head.

"Look, this cat is meowing all day long, this dog is barking all day long..."

"Did I talk too much tonight?"

"..." She seemed to say something wrong.Gan Meiya was silent. When she chose this mask, she just thought it looked pleasing to the eye, and the color matching was good, so she just took it.

The two returned to the original state again. While buttoning the raised bump on the mask, Gan Meiya secretly looked at the man walking beside her, trying to find a topic to break the deadlock, but in the end there was no suitable one.She pursed her lips, caught a glimpse of the convenience store on the side of the road from the corner of her eyes, stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, Gan Meimei turned to look at Taro Sakaki: "I'm going to buy water, what would Mr. Sakaki want to drink?"

"I'll go, what do you want to drink?" Sakaki Taro asked without answering.

Gan Meiya didn't insist either, she thought for a while and said, "I want a bottle of frozen Coke."

Hearing this, Sakaki Taro frowned slightly: "Girls, drink less iced drinks."

Dried bean sprouts did not squeak.

Sakakitaro stuffed the mask in Kanmei's hand, turned and walked towards the convenience store.

Gan Meiya looked back at the two masks in her hands, raised them up, and faced the lights on the roadside, and said with a chuckle, "A cat and a dog are a good match, aren't they? One is arrogant, the other is loyal, and the other is more cunning... ..." Gan Meiya swallowed the words that came to her lips and turned them into a sigh.

"Meiya?" A long-lost voice came from behind.

Gan Meiya's back stiffened.
