"No way." Ai Li curled her lips and decisively rejected Uncle Tsuchiya's proposal.

If she did that, Qingyou would definitely show a helpless and troublesome expression, and then put on the standard formal smile of a workplace person, and start to be very gentlemanly, but also inexplicably make Airi angry and take her to play formally... Ah, he obviously graduated from university and became a teacher in Chihaya Academy, how can he be more skilled than the uncle with ten years of work experience in the company? !

boom!

Ai Li clenched her fist and hammered the car seat with a slightly ferocious expression.

Uncle Tsuchiya wanted to laugh, but he didn't. As an elder who had watched a child grow up, he knew very well how to protect the young lady's self-esteem.

However, excessive self-esteem may not always be a good thing.

After finding a good viewing angle and parking the car, Ai Li opened the car window, from where she could have a clear view of the main entrance of the aquarium.

Thanks to Uncle Tsuchiya's fast and steady driving, she actually arrived before Qingyou. After waiting for a while, she saw Qingyou walking towards the subway entrance, holding a brochure she had picked up from somewhere and sugar-free oolong tea bought from a convenience store on the street, and walking slowly towards the aquarium.

He changed into the thin short-sleeved jacket and cool shorts prepared in his suitcase, looking quite youthful.

"Why did he change the clothes I picked for him so quickly..."

"After all, the weather gets hot earlier in Kyushu."

"...Uncle Tsuchiya, why do you always speak up for him?"

"Oh, is that so?" Uncle Tsuchiya smiled.

Qingyou found a place to sit down in the square in front of the aquarium's main entrance, apparently planning to finish his oolong tea before going in for a stroll.

In Ai Li's opinion, this was a very sensitive time period. There were many tourists passing by, including many foreign women with blonde hair and blue eyes. Ai Li always felt that they would approach Qing You to chat.

However, the person who actually interacted with Qingyou was not a foreign woman, but Hitomi Shimamura.

Chapter 96 The eldest lady decided to arrange a team of one man and three women to test Qingyou

After careful observation, Hitomi Shimamura confirmed that there was no Airi around Qingyou.

The senior without the eldest lady's company is naturally more fragrant, which can at least make Hitomi Shimamura feel much more relaxed.

Despite this, Shimamura Hitomi pretended to walk unconsciously from the subway station. After walking for a distance, she accidentally "discovered" Qingyou, then turned back and said in surprise:

"Senior, your first stop is also the aquarium?"

The familiar voice surprised Qingyou: "What a coincidence."

"Yeah, I've always wanted to visit the aquarium in Kagoshima, but I just can't find the time..."

"Then let's go together. It seems that there is a couple's package today. Not only is the price discounted, but there are also additional limited edition souvenirs."

"Eh……"

Hitomi Shimamura dragged out her tone, a little unsure of how to respond. Of course she understood what her senior meant. After all, they were acquaintances, and it was normal for the two of them to go together to buy couple tickets. After all, when the aquarium offered similar discounts, it did not expect that all the people who came to buy tickets were real couples. It was just a means to promote consumption.

But it might be a bit too sensitive to apply it to a senior.

Qingyou has a positive and positive attitude.

He had just previewed the souvenirs - sticky notes and a little dolphin keychain. They were both small gadgets he could use, and were ingeniously designed. Qingyou really wanted them, and he even thought about asking Aili to come over from the hotel. But after thinking about it, he decided not to. She would definitely not be too lazy to come.

It is said that bands and aquariums are essential parts of neodymium copper.

Ai Li doesn't like bands and has no interest in aquariums. I think she doesn't like women, and she doesn't like men either, so her orientation is "workaholic", Qingyou has always believed so.

"Don't worry too much about it, junior sister. It's just to get the souvenirs. There's no need to worry about Aili misunderstanding." Qingyou shook the phone, "Just report it in time."

Timely reporting means.

Ask Aili if she agrees first.

When buying tickets, just take a short video and send it to Aili in private message.

Why do office veterans like to leave traces?

Clear division of responsibilities and powers makes it easier to pass on the blame.

So, under the witness of Airi, Qingyou and Shimamura Hitomi completed the purchase of the couple's tickets.

Then Ai Li received the short video and watched it with a dead face, playing it several times in a row.

"Ahem." Uncle Tsuchiya next to him felt that he needed to say something, "Qingyou son-in-law, you really do things in an upright manner."

"He is just cunning and likes to play tricks!" Ai Li gritted her teeth. In this way, wouldn't she have no reason to lose her temper?

When he met Hitomi Shimamura by chance or bought a favorite souvenir by purchasing a couple ticket, he told her clearly at the first opportunity, as if he knew she was spying in the dark and deliberately showed his impeccable righteousness, which made her look uncultured.

Humph……

Ai Li replied casually with a punctuation mark, got out of the car and followed them into the aquarium from a distance.

She wanted to see if Qingyou could remain impeccable all the way.

Somehow, Ai Li had a feeling that Xiao Tong was not trustworthy either. The things that happened one after another, the clothes, the couple tickets, all seemed to have reasonable explanations, but when put together, it seemed a bit incongruous.

If you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that an ordinary girl like Xiaotong would fall in love with Qingyou after staying with him every day, right?

At this point, Ai Li had to admit that this little pig was indeed very popular with girls. He was good-looking and had a good temper.

In front.

Hitomi Shimamura stops in front of the jellyfish tank.

The box is shaped like a washing machine, slightly smaller, and the lighting is a bit problematic. The staff apologized and explained that it was under maintenance, so the jellyfish in the box looked a bit dirty, but this is exactly the visual effect that Hitomi Shimamura likes very much.

The little transparent one hiding in the dark...

This is absolutely me!

Shimamura Hitomi stared at it for a long time, then suddenly woke up. He looked around and found that his senior was also staring intently. He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to delay the pace of her predecessors.

Qingyou didn't think too much about it. The aquarium in Kagoshima was not big, so no matter where he stopped, he could take a closer look. This was in line with his boredom.

Time passed quietly. In an environment where there were strangers everywhere, Hitomi Shimamura could stick to her seniors without any burden.

At noon, Qingyou asked her if she wanted to eat black pork ramen together. Shimamura Hitomi hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, even though that thing looked very high in calories... She didn't care much about her figure now. After all, the seniors in her dreams had expressed that they liked her plump look.

As long as the seniors like it, what does the aesthetic taste of the mainstream female population matter? If losing weight causes the bear to become smaller, then it would be a loss.

Hitomi Shimamura gained confidence in her body in a strange way.

"Qingyou-kun...why do you always enjoy delicious food with Shimamura Hitomi first?"

The small building facing Hei Pig La, the hotel room, the glass with most of the curtains covered, and the young lady holding a telescope and watching and complaining.

Uncle Tsuchiya, who was serving nearby, always felt that this scene was familiar.

...It's basically a reenactment of the scene!

Uncle Tsuchiya couldn't hold back his smile. He thought, maybe his guess all along was completely correct. There was a subtle relationship hidden between Qingyou and Aili, but Aili seemed to have crossed this subtle boundary and fell into a dangerous situation.

Why don't you take the initiative to ask him out for dinner?

Uncle Tsuchiya did not ask this time, because the answer was obvious. In the eldest lady's dictionary, there is no such thing as taking the initiative to show goodwill. In the worldview of the chaebol families, taking the initiative to show goodwill mostly symbolizes weakness.

In the jungle world, the animal that shows friendliness first is more likely to be eaten.

"It seems that Akane Takagi is not the only one who needs to be tested on this school trip!" Airi's face turned grim. "Why not let Hitomi and Ayano take the test as well? Humph, let's put the four of them in the same expedition team and see who can't help but show his hand first... Uncle Tsuchiya, please urge the staff on the island to check the previous arrangements again."

Hitomi Shimamura, who was sniffing at her ramen, had no idea that she had been listed as a suspect by her best friend.

Or she couldn't imagine that such a strong young lady would insist on following Qingyou.

The reasons behind it are heartwarming.

A rich aroma wafted into her nose. Hitomi Shimamura first tasted the beef cubes on the top layer of the ramen. The tenderly fried local breed of beef had a unique flavor.

"Hmm~ delicious."

"There's always a long queue at this restaurant. Fortunately, it's not the peak tourist season recently." Qingyou is used to eating noodles first. He pushed aside the beef and picked up the noodles and put them into his mouth.

He eats noodles at a slower pace than most men on the island, and focuses on savoring the food carefully. It is said that slurping up the noodles here is a way of showing respect for the chef's craftsmanship, so Qingyou explained his habit to the store manager in advance.

This habit just makes Hitomi Shimamura feel particularly comfortable.

Chapter 97 Qingyou enjoys the time with his schoolmate, Miss? Not familiar!

"Let's go to Sakurajima."

After eating ramen, Qingyou hesitated for a moment between "going back to the hotel to rest" and "starting the afternoon journey early", and then said to Shimamura Hitomi.

Sakurajima has an active volcano and an agricultural planting area. It is a good choice to find a well-located observation deck and spend the hot noon under the sunshade.

It would be even better if there were female schoolmates around.

So Qingyou took the initiative to invite.

Ever since he dreamed about Shimamura Hitomi a few times, Qingyou admitted that his mentality had undergone a subtle change, and he gradually awakened to a certain desire for Shimamura Hitomi... Of course, he had moral principles and would not actively cheat on his junior schoolmate, and objective conditions did not allow it. The junior schoolmate was such a good girl, she would not complain to Airi and cause Qingyou's death.

However, it's okay as long as we keep a distance as friends and spend more time together.

As for the part about surpassing friends... ahem, there should also be "Hitomi Shimamura Series Lucid Dreams", right?

Hitomi Shimamura had just finished eating ramen and was wiping her mouth with a tissue. She used the tissue in a very proper way, first spreading it out to the largest area, wiping it, and then folding it up... After repeating this several times, the ramen soup on her face was wiped clean, and the tissue was folded into a neat small square.

What a lovely girl! Unlike a certain young lady who played on the sofa all night and made it as messy as a pigsty, and even called Qingyou a pig!

"Well, in the afternoon..." Hitomi Shimamura was vague. Of course, she wanted to continue following Qingyou in the afternoon, but this increased the degree of danger. Airi and Ayano were both resting in the hotel before. If Airi ran out to play with Qingyou in the afternoon, and she still stayed with Qingyou, wouldn't she have to face low pressure again?

Fortunately, before she could reply, Qingyou received a message first, and immediately went to the boss to order another bowl of black pork ramen... with cheese and double the amount of beef cubes!

"Aili wants to eat this too. I'll pack one for her to take back to the hotel."

"Yeah, let's go back to the hotel first and take a rest... If we take a rest, we won't feel tired in the afternoon..."

Every time she said something stupid while talking to someone, Hitomi Shimamura wanted to punch herself.

She envied those girls who were good at dealing with people. They could talk a lot but rarely say anything meaningful, but they could always brighten the situation. However, Hitomi Shimamura only made the air colder.

but……

Airi also wanted to eat ramen, just like the Thai food last time, and Airi quickly... eh? !

Wait wait wait, could it be?

Hitomi Shimamura suddenly stopped and her whole body froze.

This time, I'm afraid it was just like last time, touching Ai Li's sensitive nerves.

"What's wrong?" Qingyou asked when she saw Shimamura Hitomi with an expression like a college entrance examination student who suddenly remembered that he had deduced the wrong formula for a math problem.

"Senior, you won't mind if I, Aili, come out to eat with you alone?"

"What can she say? Besides, I work alone with you every day."

"..."

It sounded like heresy, but Hitomi Shimamura couldn't think of how to refute it, or she didn't want to refute it at all.

The girl's gaze met his light eyes, like the resonating sound of a violin ensemble, and the next string of melody that unfolded was the tacit smiles of the two of them at the same time.

Take care of your fiancée’s best friend and maintain relationships with colleagues and seniors.

With their own little thoughts.

Qingyou's philosophy of life focuses on happiness (as long as he is alive). Even if eating with Shimamura Hitomi will make Airi unhappy, it will bring Qingyou happiness, so why not do it?

As long as it complies with the agreement, it's fine. After all, that's what working is like. Qingyou has no obligation to make Aili happy. He can comfort her when he has the leisure time. If he's too lazy to comfort her, just let her sulk.

At first, Ai Li couldn't stand Qingyou's addiction to games, but after a while, she got used to it.

Humans are, after all, highly adaptable animals.

……

"I am back!"

There was the sound of the door of the top floor suite of the hotel opening, followed by a clear and gentle voice.

Hearing this, Ai Li moved her ears and subconsciously stood up from the sofa and walked over there, just like a kitten waiting for its owner to come home.

Then she felt like something was wrong, so she sat back down, crossed her legs in a cool manner, and picked up her tablet to look at work documents… Actually, the documents were nothing interesting, and she wasn't looking at them just now. After returning from Kurobuta Ramen, Ai Li was upset and had no mood to work.

"Here, the ramen you asked for."

"What I want?"

Ai Li showed a surprised look and glanced at Uncle Tsuchiya. The latter bowed to the two of them with a mysterious smile, left the suite, and concealed his achievements and fame.

Ai Li understood immediately. It must be Uncle Tsuchiya who had impersonated her and asked Qingyou to bring her ramen... She didn't want to eat ramen, but she didn't want to see Qingyou taking Xiaotong to eat ramen!
