On the Making of Steamed Bun [Net King]

Fate always likes to play tricks on people.

Lihai Dalian, which won the first two games, lost three games in a row. Gan Meiya looked at the final score board, pursed her lips, and shifted her gaze to the khaki sports jacket that fell on the field. The violet-haired boy who was holding the racket motionless, the yellow ball slowly rolled towards his feet, and the boy didn't even notice when it hit the shoe.

"Auntie, uncle, we are going to celebrate later, do you want to come together?" Qian Zhenzhi's voice came from behind.

Gan Meiya and Sakaki Taro looked at each other, seeing the same meaning from each other's eyes, Gan Meiya shook her head slightly: "We won't go. It's just Sadako, you plan to go home like this?" Gan Mei Ya asked, pointing to his nephew's tightly wrapped mummy outfit.

Gan Sadaharu's hand that pushed the glasses paused in the air, and before he could answer, Sakaki Taro suggested: "How about this, call your aunt after you finish eating, we will pick you up, and go to our house to treat the wound first Just a minute, and then I'll take you home."

Gan Meiya nodded, then looked at Gan Zhenzhi.

"Alright, then I'll trouble uncle." Gan Zhenzhi grinned, revealing eight white teeth.

Hearing the young man's "Uncle" coming and calling "Uncle" very smoothly, Gan Meiya couldn't get angry, raised her hand and slapped him on the back of the head, and said through gritted teeth: "Don't laugh! It's ugly with bandages on, and you smile so obscenely, girls are scared away by you, so there's no love in the future."

Gan Zhenzhi held his head that hurt from being slapped and took a deep breath: "Auntie, don't do anything wrong."

Gan Meiya stared at Gan Zhenzhi for a long time, then waved her hand casually: "Hurry up, remember to call me after dinner."

"Yes..." Gan Sadaharu replied repeatedly, grabbed the tennis bag on the ground and hung it on his body, stuffed the notebook and pen into the bag, said goodbye to Kanmei and Sakaki Taro, and followed him The group of friends left behind.

Gan Meiya watched the youngsters disappear at the entrance of the gymnasium. She withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look at the Lihai boys who had packed their bags and were about to leave. Her gaze met the leader of the violet-haired boy. The boy's face The initial disappointment was gone, and the violet eyes returned to the calmness of the past. He nodded slightly, and led his accomplices to leave the gymnasium without saying a word.

After the hustle and bustle, the stadium returned to its former tranquility.

"Shall we go too?" Sakakitaro held Kanmiya's hand.

"Yeah." Gan Meiya nodded, and followed Sakaki Taro out of the gymnasium.

The orange glow dyed most of the sky red, and the people in the sports park were almost dispersed. The air was filled with the fragrance of green grass. Dried Meiya took a deep breath, and her stomach also protested to her.

"What do you want to eat today?" Sakakitaro asked

"Barbecue." Gan Meiya replied without thinking.

"Okay." Sakaki Taro readily agreed, "It just so happens that I know there is a good barbecue restaurant nearby."

"Then let's go for a walk, and treat it like a walk."

"it is good."

The two looked at each other and smiled, fingers intertwined, and walked side by side towards the gate of the park. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on their bodies, and the shadow reflected on the ground was gradually elongated.

Facing the delicious food that can make people's index fingers move, Gan Meiya's difficulty in choosing relapsed again. After struggling for a long time, she simply closed the menu and pushed it in front of Sakaki Taro who was sitting opposite: "Oh, you decide. "

Sakaki Taro glanced at Kanmei with a half-smile, took the menu but didn't intend to open it, he said the name of a few dishes to the clerk standing beside him, the clerk quickly wrote it down, repeated it to confirm that it was correct, and said After a while, he turned and left.Soon, two cups of room-temperature oolong tea were brought up and placed in front of the two of them respectively. The stove filled with charcoal fire was also brought up and placed in the recess of the table. A grill was spread on the stove. All I could hear was the crackling sound of the charcoal burning.

"Taro often eats here?" Gan Meimei asked with a smile when she saw Sakaki Taro pushing the menu aside.

"Well, Haruyo discovered this store by accident. Every year she comes to Japan, she asks me to bring her here." Taro Sakaki picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Victoria-san?" I haven't heard this name for a long time, and Gan Meiya misses it a little. "It seems like she hasn't called me for a long time."

"She often calls you?" Sakakitaro couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, but after thinking about it, he also understood the reason why the little girl called, and couldn't help laughing, "What did you guys talk about?"

"Hmm..." Gan Meiya pondered for a moment, put her chin in her hands, and said solemnly, "Most of them are asking me when I will give birth to a younger brother for her."

"Puff...cough..." The tea was swallowed in his mouth, but he didn't spit it out, Sakakitaro raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and swallowed the tea forcibly.

At this moment, the melodious music came from the small satchel that Gan Meiya put aside, she was slightly taken aback, looked up at Sakaki Taro, her eyes met, Sakaki Taro nodded slightly, Gan Meiya fumbled from the bag Taking out the phone, he glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and was taken aback again.

"Haruyo's phone number?" Sakaki Taro asked.

Gan Meiya shook her head: "It's Xiaoer's." She pressed the answer button with her finger and put the receiver to her ear, "Little Er?"

"Sister Meiya, do you have any medicine?" Liu Lian'er's voice was deliberately lowered from the other end of the phone. The background was a bit noisy, and it sounded a bit hard.

"... Medicine?" Gan Meiya covered her ears with one hand, turned her body slightly, looked out the window, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's not me." The background sound was much less, it must have found a quieter place, and Liu Lian'er's voice was a little louder, "It's Yukimura."

"Yukimura? Has his illness relapsed?" Gan Meiya recalled the conversation with Higashino that day again, and subconsciously glanced at Sakaki Taro, only to see that the man frowned slightly, turning the teacup in his hand without saying a word.

"No." Liu Lianer once again denied Gan Meiya's guess, and after a while, his voice was lowered, "Xingcun didn't know what happened, and suddenly told us to play tennis with a smile in the future. Mei Sister Ya, what kind of disease do you think this is? Is there any medicine to cure it?"

"...You suspect that Yukimura's brain is a little out of order because of being stimulated by the loss of the game?" Kanmiya thought over and over again, and finally concluded this sentence.

Sakaki Taro looked up at Kanmei, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

There was no sound from the other end of the phone, and after a while, Liu Lianer's urgent voice came again: "Sister Meiya, I'm going to hang up first."

Before Ganmeiya could react, the call was over, she put the phone on the table, looked up at Sakaki Taro, and said with a puzzled face: "Isn't it possible to lose a game and become crazy?"

The clerk came over with a tray, put the dishes on the plate one by one on the table, and left after saying slowly, Sakaki Taro put a thick sliced ​​beef on the grill with a tong, and white smoke immediately The curl rises, the grill makes a sizzling sound, and the aroma of the meat gradually becomes stronger.

"Taro, what do you think?" In order not to spoil the taste of the meat, Gan Meiya decided not to carry forward the fine tradition of "do it yourself, have enough food and clothing".

"Laughing and playing tennis..." Listening to Mime Yanaga repeating Yanagrenji's words, Sakakitaro turned over the beef on the grill and continued to roast, "Is it the 'limit of seamlessness' that Echizen Nanjiro said? That's playing tennis for fun."

"So the literal translation is playing tennis with a smile?"

"Just my speculation."

"Impossible." Gan Mia didn't quite believe what Sakaki Taro said.

"Then what do you think?" Sakaki Taro pressed the surface of the pressed beef with tongs, and the rich soup overflowed from the meat, dripping on the hot grill, making the sound of sizzling. Put the meat on the plate in front of Gan Meiya.

"Well... I'll eat and see." Looking at the fragrant meat in front of him, Gan Meiya had long forgotten the question just now, and answered casually, then impatiently picked up the beef on the plate, put it to his mouth and blew it, and then When it was delivered to her mouth, the tender meat and the most original taste couldn't help stimulating her taste buds. She gave Sakakitaro a thumbs up, "Super invincible and delicious."

Sakaki Taro smiled lightly, and the smile contained endless pampering: "Eat more if you like it."

Gan Meiya pursed her lips, and subconsciously caressed her flat belly with the hand placed under the table, a feeling of warmth welled up in her heart.

Not long after eating, he received a call from Qian Zhenzhi, asking for the location, and the two drove there.The car stopped at the entrance of a Japanese restaurant, and laughter came through the white curtain. The two got out of the car, opened the curtain and walked into the store one after the other. The middle-aged man with a plate of sushi greeted him, with an apologetic smile on his simple and honest face: "Sorry, two guests, the shop has a happy event today, so it is closed."

"Hello, we are here to pick up Zhenzhi." Gan Meiya smiled at him and said.

"Oh, it turns out that you are Aaron's classmate's family. Come here... Come in quickly, come in quickly." The middle-aged man looked stunned, and quickly moved aside to make way.

Gan Meiya thanked, took off her shoes at the entrance, walked up the steps barefoot, and stood on the wooden floor. The noisy restaurant suddenly fell silent. She nodded slightly to everyone and congratulated.

Kikumaru and Taocheng, two teenagers, were pressing on one person from left to right at this time. Seeing Gan Meiya coming in, they couldn't help but relax their strength. The person who originally wanted to struggle to get out of the bondage felt less pressure on his body. Many, pushed the two away and sat up, raised his hand to smooth the wrinkles on the clothes, picked up the peaked cap that had been thrown aside and put it on his head, with a hint of disdain in his amber cat eyes: "Senior Ying Er and A What did Senior Tao eat recently, it's as heavy as a pig."

As soon as the voice fell, two figures rushed forward again, and Echizen Ryoma, who had just been liberated, was once again crushed by two mountains.

"Echizen, who do you call a pig!"

"Little boy, you can't say that about senior meow."

"You two...let me go."

Seeing this, Gan Meiya couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Auntie, Supervisor Sakaki." Tezuka Kunimitsu raised his hand to adjust his glasses, got up and greeted the two of them.

"Sister Meiya, Supervisor Sakaki." Shusuke Fuji walked over with a plate of sushi and smiled.

Hearing the two very different titles, the smile on Gan Meiya's face became wider. She pushed away the sushi brought by Fujisuke, and frowned: "Xiao Zhou, are you taking advantage of Xiaoguang?"

Fuji glanced at the expressionless Tezuka, smiled without saying a word.

"Sister Meiya, do you want some tea?" Kikumaru, who was leaning on Echizen Ryoma's body, said hastily.

"Eat some fruit, Sister Meiya, for beauty, for beauty." Taocheng held Echizen's arm with one hand, and freed the other hand to push the fruit platter on the table to the place closest to Ganmeiya .

"Sister Meiya, please help me!" The Echizen boy, who was pinned down on the tatami by the two people and couldn't move, waved towards Ganmeiya.

"Hiss... Sister Meiya, please sit down... hiss..." Kaoru Kaitang stood up and gave way to her seat with a dark green turban wrapped around her head.

"Sister Meiya, Director Sakaki, would you like to try my sushi?" Takashi Kawamura, who was standing behind the cooking counter, who was somewhat similar to the middle-aged man just now, asked with a smile.

"Come on... Sis, Director Sakaki, please sit down first, go to the bathroom, and be back soon, let's have some tea first." Oishi Shuichiro poured two cups of tea and served them.

Gan Miya glanced at Tezuka who was still expressionless, and from the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the smile on Fuji's face, and she couldn't stop laughing in her heart.

The cloth curtain of the kitchen was lifted, and the boy wrapped in the shape of a mummy came out. Seeing Kanmei and Sakaki Taro, he called out: "Auntie, uncle."

The restaurant was silent at first, and then burst into laughter.

Gan Sadaharu looked at the little friends who were laughing forward and backward with surprise. Even the corners of Tezuka's mouth showed signs of rising. Although it is a rare opportunity to see Tezuka smiling, the probability that the object of the smile is him is 90% That would be no fun, Kane Sadaharu raised his hand and pushed his glasses, decided to ignore this group of inexplicable guys, turned his head to look at Kanmiya and Sakaki Taro: "Shall we go?"

Gan Meimei grabbed Sakaki Taro's arm and didn't answer.

Sakaki Taro looked helplessly at Kanmiya whose shoulders were shaking, and nodded slightly: "Let's go."

As soon as Sakaki Taro said that he wanted to leave, the youths of Seigaku stood up one after another and said in unison: "Sister Meiya, Director Sakaki, go slowly."

Gan Sadaharu, who picked up the tennis bag and hung it on his shoulder to put on his shoes, twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely when he heard this. He looked up at the smiling friends: "Hey, you guys are taking advantage of me."
