After deciding to give up, I became popular

"I'm already full!" The little devilish junior glared at him, then said in a huff.

"Dating Cai Yu and still wanting to come to a place like this, you're the worst, Senpai!"

"I told you, it's not a date..." Xia Chuan Cou lightly retorted, but it was indeed his fault for wanting to satisfy his curiosity, not expecting that Yishiki would be so resistant. "Sorry, if you feel uncomfortable, we can leave."

"It's good that Senpai knows what's good for him..." Yishiki Cai Yu's expression softened a bit, then after a long silence, she asked again: "Does Senpai like maids that much?"

"No, it's not like I particularly like them... I'm just curious, curious."

But his mind couldn't help but start fantasizing. If Shiina could wear such clothes at home and say to him, "Master, welcome home"...

"Senpai! Your nose is getting bigger again! And you say you don't like them!"

"That's why I said it's impossible."

Theoretically, when a person is excited, blood circulation accelerates, and inhaling more oxygen will make the nostrils slightly larger, but such changes are too subtle to be noticed. This arrogant junior is definitely trying to trick him.

"Hurry up and order, don't cause trouble for people," Xia Chuan Cou began to change the subject.

"Hmph..." The little devilish junior snorted lightly, then stood up. "I'm going to the restroom, don't you dare peek, you idiot Senpai!"

"Who would do that!"

After Yishiki Cai Yu left, Xia Chuan Cou waved to the maid beside him, asking her to prepare the meal first. As for the junior's portion, he'd let her decide when she returned.

After waiting for a long time, the little devilish junior still didn't come back, but the omelet rice he ordered was brought up.

"Master, your 'Love Omelet Rice'." The voice was sickeningly sweet, giving Xia Chuan Cou goosebumps.

"Okay, thank you..."

As soon as he turned around, Xia Chuan Cou noticed something was wrong.

The person who brought him the meal wasn't a maid from the shop at all, but the little devilish junior who had disappeared after going to the restroom.

"...Ah?"

"What? Senpai looks so shocked. Doesn't Cai Yu's maid outfit look good?" With the tray tucked under her arm, Yishiki Cai Yu also made a V-sign, trying to act cute towards Xia Chuan Cou.

"Don't stand there dumbfounded, Senpai! At times like this, you should happily ask Cai Yu to take a picture!"

"Ah, okay..." Xia Chuan Cou nodded subconsciously, even taking out his phone.

As a result, the little devilish junior immediately put on a disgusted expression: "So, Senpai is indeed a big pervert. He gets excited as soon as I say he can take a picture! H!"

"..."

He was getting hard, his fist was getting hard!

Xia Chuan Cou's face was full of black lines, and he really wanted to go up and give this arrogant junior a profound lesson on the forehead, so she would know that the human body can also make a crisp sound like a 'dong'.

"S-Senpai... don't be silent! Is it that Cai Yu doesn't, doesn't look good..." Unexpectedly, Yishiki Cai Yu suddenly became awkward, making Xia Chuan Cou feel a little embarrassed.

"No, it, it's pretty good actually..."

"Yay! I knew Senpai was a maid-con, I guessed right!"

"..."

You!

067. Senpai!!!

"Waaah... I'm so hungry, Cai Yu is running out of energy." The little devilish junior rubbed her stomach, looking a little aggrieved.

"That's what you get for not eating lunch. You've been playing all day, you'll definitely be hungry if you don't replenish your energy," Xia Chuan Cou criticized. "I really don't understand you. Why would you rather spend money on role-playing than order something there?"

"If I eat that embarrassing food, I'll become a useless person who can't eat properly without a girl's help, right?" Yishiki Cai Yu looked at him with righteous indignation.

What the hell! You're talking about babies, not otaku, right?!

Apologize to all the otaku in the world!

"Aren't you a girl yourself?" Xia Chuan Cou subconsciously retorted.

"Also, don't underestimate otaku. They are a group of people who can live strong lives even without girls. They are warriors with powerful hearts!"

"Is Senpai one too?"

"Ah, I'm not," Xia Chuan Cou immediately retorted. He wasn't an otaku, he just liked watching anime.

"Ehhh~, not convincing at all!" Yishiki Cai Yu puffed out her cheeks and looked at him, then became pitiful again. "Hey, Senpai, do you like sweets? If Senpai really wants to eat sweets now, Cai Yu wouldn't mind going with you..."

"Isn't eating sweets before a meal a bad habit?" Xia Chuan Cou glanced at her.

He originally wanted to say, "No, I don't want to eat at all," but he was afraid of really making her angry, so he seriously replied: "After all, it's almost dinner time, can't you wait a little longer?"

"Damn it! Where did you come from, you demon? Your kind and cute junior is already starving and you're telling her to endure it!" So, the little devilish junior let out a coquettish cry, then stretched out two fingers and kept poking at Xia Chuan Cou.

"Mean Senpai, Cai Yu even treated you to lunch!"

"Just kidding, just kidding." Xia Chuan Cou easily defused her attacks with one hand, and even pointed to the dessert shop on the street.

"There, the dessert shop you're looking for."

Yishiki Cai Yu looked in the direction he pointed, and then her eyes lit up, but she immediately showed a suspicious expression: "That's strange, how did Senpai know there was a dessert shop here? Could it be that you've been here with other girls before..."

"Brains are a good thing..." Seeing that the little devilish junior was about to bite him, Xia Chuan Cou quickly explained: "It's the navigation, I looked at the navigation."

He had searched on his phone as soon as Yishiki Cai Yu complained about being hungry. The nearest dessert shop was here, so he brought her over.

"I'll say it in advance, I haven't been here before. Don't blame me if you don't think it's delicious." He started with a disclaimer, and Xia Chuan Cou had some experience in this area.

"Oh my, Senpai, don't be so unmanly! If it's not delicious, I'll definitely blame it all on Senpai!" Yishiki Cai Yu patted him on the shoulder, smiling.

"..." Xia Chuan Cou glanced at her speechlessly, thinking that she didn't realize how hungry she was at all?

As everyone knows, when people are starving, they can eat anything, even if it's not very tasty.

He really didn't believe that this little devilish junior could give away the dessert, at most she would frown and eat it while complaining that it was unappetizing.

Entering the store, they found a secluded spot to sit down. After receiving the menu from the waiter, Xia Chuan Cou glanced at it and handed it to Yishiki Cai Yu.

The little devilish junior didn't have any difficulty choosing. She circled and selected her order all at once, then asked Xia Chuan Cou:

"I want a Galaxy Mousse, um... and a Strawberry Sundae! What about Senpai?"

"Just an espresso."

"Eh? Isn't Senpai going to have some sweets? This store also sells ice cream," Yishiki Cai Yu reminded him, as she had just seen it on the next page of the menu.

"I'm okay, I'm saving room for dinner," Xia Chuan Cou shook his head. He had been raised with good habits by the angel, and now he didn't even touch snacks much.

But the most important thing was that he didn't really like sweets.

"No way? Senpai is still thinking about eating dinner later?"

"If I don't eat dinner, what will I eat? You?" Xia Chuan Cou retorted, then picked up the booklet next to him and started reading the food introductions on it.

"Senpai is so full of himself..." The little devilish junior snorted softly, but she didn't bother him anymore, and instead said something to the waiter next to her.

Before long, the things they ordered were brought up one after another. Xia Chuan Cou glanced at them casually and found that there were also some different kinds of Wagashi.

"You ordered so much, can you finish it?" Xia Chuan Cou's eyes were subtle.

Although this junior in front of him hadn't eaten lunch, she would definitely be full after eating so much, especially since she also ordered Wagashi, a sweet that easily fills you up.

"Oh my, Senpai, don't worry about it, just mind your own business."

"..."

Xia Chuan Cou ignored her and instead picked up his perfectly stirred espresso and took a sip.

The aroma of nuts filled his mouth, followed by a bitter touch, but after it dissipated, there was a subtle sweetness...

"Senpai, how's the coffee, is it good?" Watching Xia Chuan Cou's series of leisurely movements, Yishiki Cai Yu suddenly became interested.

"Is it good..." Xia Chuan Cou's eyes were subtle, thinking that this arrogant junior wanted to see him make a fool of himself?

But looking at her expression, she seemed very ignorant...

"Cough cough, the taste is actually not bad, it's very sweet, do you want to try it?"

So, Xia Chuan Cou extended an invitation to her.

"Eh? N-Now?..." Yishiki Cai Yu seemed a little surprised, a subtle blush appeared on her pretty face, and then she nodded lightly after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, okay, but let me state in advance, Senpai, don't get any wrong ideas."

"Wrong ideas?" Xia Chuan Cou tilted his head, a little confused. Was she saying that he shouldn't be mischievous?

But looking at her expression and movements, she didn't seem to have guessed his thoughts...

But he definitely couldn't show weakness at this time, otherwise it would be easy for her to suspect him.

"I didn't think anything, you can rest assured," Xia Chuan Cou said, and gently pushed the coffee over.

The movements were neither fast nor slow, just right.

"T-That's good..." Yishiki Cai Yu nodded lightly, then picked up the espresso and took a small sip.

"..."

"How is it..." Xia Chuan Cou asked expectantly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the other party's expression suddenly change, and her small mouth opened—

She spat it all over his face.

"..."

068. As long as I'm not embarrassed,

As everyone knows, girls are made of sugar, spice, and everything nice—let's assume it's honey water.

After all, for boys, even ordinary saliva exchange is enough to make them addicted, let alone anything else, so it's okay to use it as a metaphor.

But what Xia Chuan Cou didn't expect was that he would be sprayed with water one day...

Oh no, he should say, coffee.

"I'm sorry, Senpai! Cai Yu is so sorry! I caused you trouble!" Changing her usual arrogant and smug look, the little devilish junior suddenly became very respectful, and her tone was very pleasing.

Unfortunately, Xia Chuan Cou didn't have any other thoughts at this moment, and only one word remained in his mind—numb.

The degree can be described as general anesthesia, that is, total anesthesia.

He just wanted to see Yishiki Cai Yu's deflated look, watching her swallow the bitter liquid and reveal an unbearable expression, but he didn't expect her to not swallow it at all, but instead spit it all out.

And it was sprayed on his face.

Not only that, but his chest, shoulders, neck, etc., basically all the parts exposed above the table were impacted.

It can only be said that fortunately he was wearing dark clothes today, and the spilled coffee stains were almost invisible on his dark shirt, so it was okay. As for the neck and face, it would be fine with a little washing.

The only thing he couldn't stand was the feeling that he had lifted a stone and smashed it on his own foot.

"..."

"Senpai, are you okay?" Yishiki Cai Yu's tone was a little weak. In fact, she did feel responsible.

But she also hid a hint of schadenfreude in her heart—Senpai is also at fault! It was Senpai who tricked me into drinking such a bitter thing! It would have been okay if he had told me in advance, but he even tricked me into saying it was sweet! I couldn't help it! Damn Senpai, actually deceiving an ignorant girl into drinking that kind of thing... guilty!

But she thought so, but didn't dare to say it.

After all, Xia Chuan Cou obviously looked like he was in a bad mood at the moment, and if she annoyed him again, she didn't know what would be done to her.

"..." After washing his face again and calming down his emotions a little, Xia Chuan Cou raised his head and looked at Yishiki Cai Yu and said, "Let's go back."

"Eh? Go back... do you mean go home to change clothes?" Yishiki Cai Yu was stunned for a moment, and then looked a little disappointed. She didn't expect her first date to end here.

"Go back to eat, wasting food is shameful," Xia Chuan Cou replied expressionlessly.
