Women only affect the speed of my reasoning!

"do not like?"

"No, it's just that I can't eat it now. I already ate it before I came here."

Rita shook her head. She didn't intend to pretend to be a bird in front of Qin Xianshu.

After all, she had lived in Sakurasou for nearly a month before, and her normal food intake had been exposed for a long time. At this time, there was no point in pretending.

Then Rita curled her lips and said: "Besides, how can you ask a girl to eat chicken wings like you? You know, most girls want to behave as elegantly and gracefully as possible in front of the person they like."

"I don't really care about this..." Qin Ushu scratched his head.

"But I care!"

The girl's beautiful sea-blue eyes stared.

Business in the cafe was quite deserted on weekday afternoons, and there was only one customer at their table in total. Therefore, the efficiency of the kitchen was also very high, and all the dishes were served quickly one by one.

Rita elegantly picked up the coffee and took a sip: "By the way, the Christmas gift I gave you before..."

"I haven't thrown it away. It's still there, but I haven't hung it up either. It's just sitting on the wardrobe in my room."

"Put it on the wardrobe? Why?"

"Because it is a school dormitory, students are not allowed to punch holes in the wall."

Qin Sanshu answered the questions as if they were flowing smoothly. He picked up a piece of French fries fried to golden brown and crispy from the dinner plate and bit into it. His movements exuded the calmness of a samurai sheathing his sword after a victory.

Rita was stunned by him for about half a second before she reacted, and helplessly held her forehead, which was covered by her golden bangs.

"That's right..."

As she spoke, she put her hand into the bag she carried with her, fumbled for a while and then pulled out a box of beautifully packaged British chocolates, pushing it along the table to Qin Ushu's hand.

"Give."

"Could this be..."

"Valentine's Day gift!"

"Oh, thanks."

Qin Xianshu took it and looked at it carefully, exclaiming in surprise.

"It's surprisingly normal."

"...You actually want to say simple, right?"

"No, no, it's just normal. Please don't misinterpret my meaning, okay."

From Qin Xianshu's point of view, he could certainly see that this box of chocolates was worth a lot of money.

Compared with Miwako's "painstaking efforts" and Mabai's mysterious way of giving gifts, Rita's box of chocolates can be regarded as the most suitable "gift" in terms of both the object itself and the way of giving. meaning.

And because it was so normal, it even made Qin Ushu feel unreal.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

Instead of dwelling on the issue, Rita sighed softly.

"After all, my family is very strict about love. I will not be allowed to fall in love before I reach the age of eighteen. If I make chocolates at home around Valentine's Day, it will be easy to be seen through. What's more, I usually I don’t like eating chocolate very much and I basically won’t buy it.”

"So what is the excuse for coming to Japan this time..." Qin Xianshu squinted his eyes and continued to sip coffee, "You can't claim to be in Japan to visit your besties. It's too weird to choose Valentine's Day."

"No, no excuse is useless." Rita actually denied it with a smile.

"Ok?"

Somehow, Qin Uanshu's expression changed, and an ominous premonition suddenly flashed through his heart.

And noticing the change in someone's expression, the British girl smiled even happier.

"That's right, I ran away from home directly this time. Let me tell you a little knowledge. Time in Japan is eight hours ahead of the UK, so I ran away from home a day in advance. But that's okay. Because of this, Valentine’s Day gifts can only be relatively simple.”

"Oh Shet..."

Qin Mianshu said with the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

Rita was completely unfazed.

"Well, anyway, this situation will end in a few months after the coming-of-age ceremony."

"Uh wait, if I remember correctly, the coming of age ceremony in the UK seems to be..."

"Sixteen years old."

"Then Rita, you are now..."

"Fifteen years and eight months old!"

When the British girl said this, she proudly pushed out her breasts, which were already larger than most Asian women.

Qin Xianshu almost blacked out.

By the way, I will be regarded as an underage girl abductor!

Chapter 349 Miss Rita’s great success

"Mashiro sent me a message today."

"Well, what did you send?"

"She said that you gave her the White Valentine's Day gift in advance."

In the booth against the wall of the cafe, the seemingly careless chatting between the two of them was dragged into a new rhythm by the seemingly careless words of the British girl.

In fact, Rita herself was very excited when she said this, and she was under great psychological pressure and tension.

After all, no matter how relaxed she is, she is still a girl.

Girls want face.

What's more, Rita is still the kind of girl who received aristocratic education and had a very strict family education since she was a child. The so-called cheerfulness and unrestrainedness is just that she does not hesitate to express her love in front of the people she likes.

In front of other outsiders, she was still the elegant and dignified Miss Einsworth.

And because of this, she is still afraid of being rejected by the person she likes.

'You gave her the white Valentine's Day gift in advance. '

This sentence was the result of Rita trying to be as tactful as possible.

The subtext is - I have already given you my Valentine's Day gift, but what about mine? Have you prepared a good one for me?

Because she was afraid of getting a negative answer, she chose to use subtext to test. In this way, even if the answer was negative, Qin Xianshu could pretend to be stupid and deliberately answer her question head-on to fool her.

This is the tenderness that uniquely belongs to Rita Einzworth, and it is also her vulnerability.

"Yes."

Qin Xianshu smiled without any surprise, and gave an answer that was completely consistent with the girl's worst-expected outcome, which made Rita's expression slightly stiff.

Does this mean you admit that you sent a white Valentine's Day gift in advance and didn't prepare her share?

That's right...after all, I just left him with a difficult question and then ran away, not even daring to hear the answer.

Rita's eyes darkened, but she also adjusted her tone and demeanor at the same time, squinting her eyes to block the look of loneliness, and showed her usual warm smile.

"Well, Mashiro is very happy. This morning when I was still on the plane, she took a photo and sent me a message. She even used emoticons."

"Oh~ don't poke it~"

Seeing the heartfelt admiration on Qin Xianshu's face across the table through the narrow field of view, Rita took a deep breath and stood up from the table while maintaining a smile.

"Okay, the gift has been delivered, so I should probably say goodbye..."

"Close your eyes."

"Eh?"

The former's five short words made the girl stop her tendency to stand up, and her body froze in mid-air, a little at a loss.

So Qin Xianshu repeated it again.

"I said you sit down and close your eyes."

"Oh……"

With mixed feelings of doubt, expectation, and a bit of disbelief, Rita sat back on the sofa honestly and closed her eyes with fluttering eyelashes.

Soon she heard the scrape of fabric, then the scrape of napkins on the table.

About five seconds later, Qin Xianshu's voice sounded again.

"Okay, open your eyes."

"Well--"

As if she suddenly came into sunlight after staying in the dark environment for a long time, Rita slowly opened her eyes with some flinch.

In her quick and clear vision, she saw a beautifully crafted chocolate figure placed on the dining table in front of her.

On the base of white chocolate, black chocolate is used to outline very fine lines of depressions as the floor. On it, a blond girl is sitting on a chair, holding a paint tray in one hand and a brush in the other, facing the easel with a canvas in front of her. .

The painting on the canvas has been completed, and the layout and content are almost exactly the same as the painting Rita gave to Qin Ushu for Christmas.

I don’t know if it’s because of the artist’s poor painting skills, or because the canvas is too small. In short, the main character in the painting that the girl spent a lot of time refining and outlining has directly turned into a six-stroke stick figure. , highlighting a soul in painting.

The crystal liquid surged out of Rita's eyes like a flood, but the next second she burst into laughter, and in an instant the transformation from tears to laughter was completed.

"I...how can I never draw so ugly!"

The emotional ups and downs were so great that she almost forgot to maintain the restraint of a British lady, and the hand she raised in the air to strike was just a wave in the air.

"It's all ready, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

"Sorry sorry..."

Seeing that the joke was a little too big, Qin Sanshu had no choice but to apologize and tell the truth.

"I originally wanted to tease you Rita, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously, so I quickly took it out."

"How dare you say it!"

Once the emotional outlet was opened, it couldn't be closed immediately. More tears slid down Rita's cheeks. In her blurred vision, she stood up from the table while wiping her tears, walked around the outside corner of the table, and then Not caring about being reserved, she threw herself into the high school detective's arms and started crying.

After all, it was his own death, so Qin Ushu had no choice but to patiently comfort her.

After a while, Rita had almost finished venting her emotions, and realized that she was still in public. Then she reluctantly stood up from the latter's arms. When her eyes touched the chocolate figure again, she blinked her slightly red and swollen eyes, and then Pick up the phone decisively.

"By the way, I also want to take a picture and send it to Mashiro."

"Hello..."

……

Considering that he had slipped out of school before school was over, Qin Shanshu sat in the cafe for a while and then paid the bill and left with Rita.

After that, he naturally went back to school, and with the help of a certain vice president of the student union named Qin, the latter was able to enter Sobu High School for a little sightseeing.

Time soon came after school.

When Qin Sanshu returned to Sakura Manor with Rita and Yukiko wary of each other's eyes, a certain female teacher had actually returned early.

In the living room, the latter stretched his head and half of his body into the open refrigerator door. He was very focused on taking out bottles of cold beer and placing them on the ground at his feet. He was completely unaware of the movement of someone coming back from the entrance.

"Teacher, you started drinking so early today, and you took so much. Could it be that something happy happened to you?"

Qin Xianshu asked in a calm tone.

"what……"

When she heard someone calling her, Qianshi Qianxun was reluctant to pull her head out of the refrigerator door. When she saw the three people changing shoes at the door, she said oh.

"As expected, Rita is here."

"Ok?"

"Well, shit, the Eiinsworth family asked Shiina's father to call me and ask if Rita was with me. Well, I knew it..."

Qianshi Qianxun curled her lips and sighed. After finishing a long list of words, she remembered that she still had questions that she had not answered, and pointed to the five or six bottles of beer at her feet.

"I'm just checking my inventory. I'll probably use it when I go away in a few days."

"Farewell?"

"Yes, Misaki and the others will take the college entrance examination in a few days. After the college entrance examination, they will go their separate ways. Sakurasou will no longer be so lively."
