They Gather Here

But despite this, tears still trickle down from time to time, dripping onto dishes, spoiling their flavor with human brine.

What a waste.

Thinking so, Ying Lili suddenly muttered to herself, "I'm sorry, Luo Jun."

How could Luo Zhen understand?

He was stunned: "Sawamura, you didn't do anything to apologize!"

"Of course I know." Yingri laughed through her tears, "but I just wanted to say, can't I?"

you can!

of course can!

But Luo Zhen is the worst at dealing with girls' tears, so he has a headache.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to raise the topic of Chitanda again.

So, he described the conversation of the three girls vividly, and then said: "Chitanda is a very caring person, and should be most in favor of encouraging you, but why did she say, 'It's really good to do this?' What about that?"

Eiri pondered for a moment, and her smile became even brighter: "Chitanda is the daughter of a rich farmer, so she shouldn't be allowed to play with food, right?"

"Playing with food?"

"This seaweed can only be so thin by tearing it by hand. In Chitanda's view, this is probably 'playing'."

"Is that so..."

"She really is a serious child."

Luo Zhen quite agrees with Chitanda's "seriousness".

Moreover, he was satisfied that this topic was able to stop Eiri's crying, and he couldn't help nodding his head.

Unexpectedly, Ying Lili didn't seem to appreciate it.

"Luo Jun, it's time for you to go back," she said. "Is it time to open a business? Yukinoshita can't handle it alone."

"I have to wait for you to finish eating and take the food box back." Luo Zhen said.

"Tomorrow, I will wash it and give it to Yukinoshita."

What is Sawamura competing with?

Luo Zhen couldn't tell.

But he could feel that the other party's words contained the power of self-confidence.

That's it!

Luo Zhen nodded with a smile and said, "Then I'll go back first. Tomorrow, remember to wash the food box and give it to Yukinoshita."

Inri didn't speak, just nodded.

Luo Zhen smiled at her, didn't even say "goodbye", went straight to the door, pushed it open, and walked out.

During the whole process, Ying Riri kept watching his back, her heart beating violently.

It is not the so-called "heartbeat", but a more fiery and irresistible feeling, a feeling called "creative desire".

Unprecedentedly, a strong desire to create has filled Yingri's heart.

She is special, special, special, special, special, special, special to create a story about food that connects five people.

However, until then...

"Let's rush the draft first." Ying Lili was full of motivation.

Plus, the bento is delicious!

Chapter 12 Column 1/3 and Milk vs Coffee

It might be fine dining, it might be an apartment hotel, it might be both.

In any case, it was some kind of mysterious force that inspired Yingri to break through herself and complete the manuscript on April 4th, which is one day before the Golden Week, which is Thursday.

Machida Yuanzi came to meet her on January [-] as scheduled.

The two used to meet in cafes or companies. However, as Yingli Li joined the neighborhood committee, she recently had to "do as the locals do".

Even so, Machida Yuanzi went to Starbucks first.

In fact, this is another kind of "do as the locals do":

In Minato, in addition to the famous streets of Roppongi, Nishi-Azabu, Akasaka, Aoyama, Shirogane, etc., the number of Starbucks is also the first among the 23 wards in Tokyo.

Because of the phone call in advance, Machida Yuanzi knew that the neighborhood committee had five members, so she bought 6 cups of coffee.

When she entered the door with bottles and jars, everyone was circulating Ying Lili's original manuscript.

It is said that it is "circulation", but in fact only Luo Zhen and Kato Megumi take it more seriously.

Chitanda covered her eyes with her hands, and occasionally cast curious glances between her fingers, blushing so red that she was almost steaming.

As for the snow...

The expression is too complicated, Machida Yuanzi really can't find a good rhetoric to describe it.

When she sees a shy or curious middle school girl, she will think of herself when she first started working, and she can't help but smile knowingly and ask, "Am I late?"

"No." Yukinoshita took the opportunity to leave the bar, ran to a dining table to wipe the table, and escaped from the manuscript.

"I'm here to help too." Chitanda ran after him.

As a result, the two almost bumped their foreheads together in order to fight for the rag.

"Too close..."

"Senior Yukinoshita, I'm sorry."

That's so cute!

Machida Yuanzi pulled out a chair and put the coffee on the table: "I'll treat you."

Everyone was welcome and took a cup each.

Only Chitanda stood there, hesitant.

I have known this girl for nearly a week, and, as long as we are together, the content of the discussion is cooking.

Luo Zhen knew that she couldn't handle this kind of Western drink, and said empathetically, "Do you mind if I drink two?"

Chitanda let out a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry to trouble Senior Luo."

Apologize for such a thing?

It's really serious, hey!

Luo Zhen waved his hand casually and put the coffee behind the bar.

On the other hand, Eiri sat opposite Machida Yuanko, and at the same time took a sip.

Well……

Added a lot of milk.

She coughed violently: "It's not milk mixed with coffee, but coffee mixed with milk. The taste is too weird."

"That's why, Mr. Kashiwagi." Machida Yuanko slammed the table, "You should also have the self-consciousness of being a girl, whether it's your appearance, or your body... anything else, drinking more milk will definitely do you no harm."

"No harm?"

"Well, being an editor won't hurt you!"

Machida Yuanko blinked frequently, as if sending Morse code.

I always feel like I have something to say...

Eiri was lost in thought, still stunned.

Seeing that the other party still didn't understand his painstaking efforts, Machida Yuanzi couldn't help shaking his head.

No wonder the defeated dogs in various works are golden retrievers...

and many more!

Who is the representative of this image?

For a while, Machida Yuanzi couldn't remember.

Just as she was frowning and pondering, Ying Lili had already avoided the topic: "Sister Yuan Zi, have you read my manuscript?"

"If it's a scanned copy, I've already browsed it carefully." Machida Yuanko pointed to the laptop and replied, "I just want to say, as expected of Mr. Kashiwagi."

"Is it so highly rated?"

"If I insist on being specific, as the editor, I can only check for typos and omissions, but I can't make any other comments, which is really a dereliction of duty."

"..."

"..."

"Can't you praise me honestly?"

"I learned from you about dishonesty."

The two laughed together.

Looking at them, Luo Zhen couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

He always felt that Inri was a fairly honest guy.

The reason is that this girl's arrogance is textbook-style, so with a little guesswork, you can understand her true intentions.

Instead...
