A Certain Scientific Bee-eater

A high-rise office area.

Sitting by the window is a very temperamental girl: her long brown and black hair is tied into a one-sided three-strand braid around her neck and hangs in front of her sizable chest, her upper body is wearing a white long-sleeved chiffon shirt, the shirt is close to the neckline The buttons are open to reveal a delicate collarbone, and the lower body is a dark green ankle-length skirt and high heels.

Makes people feel a mature charm.

"Senior Baixue, do you want to go to dinner together after get off work?"

With such a sound, the girl slowly looked away from the computer screen in front of her and turned her head to look at the source of the sound.

What caught her eye was a girl with a ponytail and a dress.

This is an intern who just joined yesterday. It is said that he has not yet graduated from college. Due to his energetic and cheerful personality, he has established a good relationship with colleagues and seniors in the same department in the company in just one day.

Looking at the bewildered expressions on the faces of several colleagues behind her, I guess those people didn't expect the child to suddenly invite her, right?

The girl called 'Bai Xue' took her eyes away from the intern and opened her mouth expressionlessly,

"...I have something to do."

"Hey, that's it... It's a pity, then I won't disturb you, Senior Bai Xue, see you tomorrow~"

The ponytail girl looked regretful when she heard the words, but then she immediately restrained herself and waved her hands with a smile.

"……Um."

Although it still sounded like an emotionless response.

——'Wow, I'm still not used to it after so long, Miss Bai Xue's eyes are really scary. '

——' The expression just now must have been angry, right?Sorry, you weren't frightened, were you?It's our fault that we forgot to remind you that Miss Snow White hates being interrupted when she is concentrating on work. '

- 'Yeah yeah, last year a newcomer almost cried when she greeted her. '

——'Miss Bai Xue has never seen a smile on her face since she first joined the company two years ago. Even in the face of senior seniors, she still has a cold expression like just now. Just an iceberg. '

--'Eh?But I think Senior Bai Xue is very kind, and he helped to point out the mistakes in the report I made this morning, even though I didn't even ask. '

-'...No, that's just because she doesn't want to waste time and reduce work efficiency later, right?After all, what you do has to pass her review in the end. '

-'Huh?is that so? ! '

After walking a distance, a few people left while talking in such a low voice, but they didn't know that all these words were actually heard by the parties involved.

"It's not a good thing to hear too well sometimes..."

With a complicated expression on my face, I muttered in a voice that only I could hear.

That's right, the 'iceberg beauty' that my colleague referred to was me.

Full name Bai Sheba, 24 years old, is a white-collar worker who has graduated from university and has worked in this good listed company for two years.

Although I became a 'social person' for a while, the 'disease' that I had since middle school has not changed.

This condition is called 'social phobia'.

Its specific manifestations are nervousness when talking to unfamiliar people, dizziness and nausea when looking at each other, especially when talking to strangers or being approached.

—— 'As long as you don't meet your gaze, it's alright?How about trying to count each other's eyebrows while talking? '

My dear friend gave me this advice.

So with the mentality of trying it out, I can finally seem to communicate with others normally.

But the consequence of this is that because of my hanging eyes and the stiffness in my face from tension, it can look like I'm angry or impatient.

Over time, everyone felt that I was difficult to get along with, and they were reluctant to talk to me unless necessary.

Although I was relieved a little by not having to communicate with others frequently, I still felt unwilling, or rather lonely.

I also want to change myself and be as cheerful as the intern girl who greeted me just now, but I screw it up every time.

Like what a colleague said just now.

When a new recruit was hired last year, I had to be led by my colleagues in the HR department to greet the seniors in the relevant departments. Originally, I had written the manuscript the night before and practiced it several times in front of the mirror, but in the end I was too nervous to speak. Come.

And the newcomer I was staring at was almost scared to tears as my colleague said.

That incident might become a psychological shadow for the other party, but at the same time, it also caused a huge blow to me, and it took a long time for me to return to the level of normal communication with people like before.

As for what happened just now, I clearly want to agree very much in my heart.

It would be better to say that the other party would come to invite me to have dinner together after get off work, which surprised me too much.

——'Ah, plucking up the courage in the morning to pretend to pass by and talk to the other party is so right! '

I secretly secretly rejoiced in my heart, but seeing the other colleagues behind the girl, the original joy and the little bit of courage that had just emerged disappeared instantly.

very scary.

It still doesn't work.

After saying 'reject', I was completely in a negative mood, and I finished the last bit of work with grief and anger, and then went straight home by train.

People like me will probably end up alone forever, right?

ps: I just dug a hole on a whim...

Fanwai 6 A certain science's 'seven-year itch' ([-])

Shokuhou Misaki and Misaka Mikoto quarreled.

The cause is just a trivial matter.The origin may be the difference in the way two people think about things. If it is normal, they will try their best to seek common ground while reserving differences to find a balance that allows each other to accept and compromise.

But on this day, Shokuhou Cao Qi was irritable because of things at home, and happened to be on his menstrual period, so his attitude was a little aggressive and unable to give in.

So the small talk turned into an argument, and the argument turned into a quarrel.

Eventually the two parted ways.

In fact, Shokuhou had already regretted it that night.

As the middle school graduation approached, all kinds of trivial matters became more and more. Although she and Misaka Mikoto were in the same school, they had many opportunities to meet each other on weekdays, but there was very little time for them to be alone.

And the two originally agreed to go to school together, but she received a message from home: her father went out and contracted a disease, and asked her to go back and prepare in advance to take over the family.

Of course she didn't want to.

She didn't want to go back to that impersonal place for a long time.But, although he never felt the warmth from the family from that man, he was her biological father after all, and the person her mother loved until her death.

Even for the sake of his deceased mother, Shokuhou Misaki had to go back.

Of course, don't even think about taking over the family.

Originally, she planned to talk to Misaka Mikoto about this on this day, but because of the unpleasantness that happened, she naturally didn't have time to say it.

But it is absolutely impossible for her to take the initiative to contact each other now.

Because whoever apologizes first in a fight won't lose?Although most of the responsibility for this quarrel seems to be on her body, as her girlfriend, can't you be a little more considerate of her and give her a little bit?

Although in normal times, she quite enjoys the process of bickering with each other.

It's not right to have expectations for Misaka Mikoto.

If the other party can detect his own low mood in time, maybe it will not develop like this in the end.But there was something wrong with her. If she could calm down and not be so serious at the time, the two might be having dinner together in her villa now.

The more I think about it, the more irritable I get.

Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help kicking the sidewalk signal beside him.

"Hey—it hurts..."

As a result, he hit his toes because of too much force. He couldn't help but gasped, and put on his feet with a painful look on his face.

The grievances and resentments erupted together, but they stagnated in my heart because there was no object to vent on.

Looking at the night sky and the street where the crowds were dwindling, Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help clenching the strap of the bag on his chest. At this moment,

"Eh... ugh? Queen?"

A familiar voice came to my ears.

Shokuhou Caoqi turned his head to look, and he was approached by Fanfeng Junzi and Kouhiko Zaotori, asking with some doubts,

"Fanfeng, Kouyuzi, why are you here?"

Hobaze Junko and Koujiroko, who are one year higher than her and Misaka Mikoto, graduated from junior high school and entered high school last year. Since the school is not in the seventh school district, although they are still members of her faction, they can meet each other. The chances are significantly less.

"We wanted to come and see the Queen and the people in the faction, but when I went to school this morning, Sakuren said that Queen, you and Misaka-san have something to do."

Fanfeng Junzi explained, then turned around to look around, and said suspiciously,

"Where did Misaka-san go?"

"Who cares where she likes to go!"

Shokuhou Caoqi couldn't help but speak angrily, then he coughed twice as if he had suddenly reacted, turned his head and said,

"... Anyway, I'm alone now."

"Queen, are you arguing with Misaka-san—"

Before Fanfeng Junko could finish speaking, he was blocked by Kouhiko Hayato next to him, and Kouroko Hayato said with a smile on his face,

"That's great, we're going to dinner, if you can, the Queen must come with us too?"

"Mmmmmmmmm-"

Shokuhou Kauki looked at Komiko Hayato and Junko Hobaze who was covering her mouth while nodding and making a strange noise. She couldn't help but sighed slightly in her heart, but she nodded with a ladylike smile on the surface.

"Well, let's go then."

She knew that these two must have seen the quarrel between herself and Misaka Mikoto, but it was no wonder, after all, she didn't hide her emotions at all just now.

And if these two people knew, it might not be the next day before everyone in Tokiwadai Middle School would know.

It will probably cause quite a stir, right?

After all, the eldest ladies who are in an aristocratic school and are always bound by school rules and family education are rarely able to find fun. The two star characters in the school and the 'love-hate relationship' between lv5 are enough to become their gossip.

She usually covered up the ability to use that she had long thought troublesome, but today maybe it was because of recent events that made her a little tired, or maybe it was a small revenge, she didn't do it.

——Let Misaka Mikoto get rid of the headache for the consequences.

——I hope the children in the faction will not do too much things.

When Shokuhou Misaki was thinking about it,
