“I didn’t say that.”

Xia Zhi said this while slightly turning his gaze away.

At least look me in the eyes before you say this.

The girl complained in her heart.

The reason why I didn’t say this out loud was not only because the drink in my hand was paid for by the other party, but also because…

“Guluuluulu…”

There was a strange noise coming from the girl’s stomach.

Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly:

“hungry?”

“A little… a little…” The girl lowered her head shyly.

That’s it…

Xia Zhi nodded and waved to the passing waiter: “Hello, please pay the bill this way.”

“No!”

Seeing that he was about to pay the bill and leave, Erya didn’t care about pretending to be girly or cute, and rushed over to grab his sleeve and cried:

“I haven’t eaten since this morning. I’ve been walking for three or four hours straight and can’t find the way. I forgot to bring my wallet and credit card. I’m hungry, thirsty and exhausted. Please be a good person and save me!”

“…”

Where is your girlish modesty?

Xia Zhi couldn’t help but complain in his heart.

……

So, this is what happened.

Although it was at Kurumi’s instigation…suggestion that I planned to go to the school to maintain the “original plot”, I found that I was unfamiliar with the place and didn’t know the way at all. I didn’t even know the name of the destination school. When I wanted to go back, I found that I was lost. I walked for three or four hours and couldn’t find the original road. In the end, I could only call the only person I knew and whose number I knew for help…

…There are so many flaws that Xia Zhi even suspects that the other party did it on purpose.

“Can you show a little sympathy? I’m really unlucky today.”

The girl raised her head from the pile of food, tried to swallow the food in her mouth, thought for a moment and then continued:

“But if you think about it carefully, this kind of encounter seems to be quite unique, right?”

“Strictly speaking, this is not an encounter,” Xia Zhi corrected her.

It can only be considered a rescue at best.

And then again…

“Where’s your car?”

The girl was slightly stunned and blinked: “Huh? Is it set that I have that kind of thing?”

As a teacher…even if it’s a substitute role, but I’m an adult after all. It’s normal for me to have a car, right?

For adults of this age group, isn’t it natural to think of driving for daily travel?

“What? You make me sound really old.”

The girl wrinkled her nose and said with dissatisfaction.

You say that as if you’re very young…wait?

Xia Zhi realized something, looked at the other person and asked, “How old are you this year?”

“It’s not okay to ask so bluntly.”

Hearing this, Erya shook his head and said

“A girl’s age is a secret.”

“…”

Xia Zhi silently pulled the plate of barbecue in front of her towards him.

The girl immediately became timid upon seeing this.

“Seventeen! Seventeen years old!”

There’s no time to worry about secrets, she said anxiously.

However, Xia Zhi did not stop, but reached out to the half-eaten omelette rice again.

“Ten, nineteen?”

Seeing this, Erya tried to change the topic and grabbed the boy’s wrist to stop him.

However, feeling the force on her hand not weakening at all, and seeing the omelette rice about to leave her, the girl gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and shouted in despair:

“Twenty-one, twenty-one, okay? I’m just an old, ugly college student!”

She’s just one year older than Yang Nai, so she can’t be considered old or anything, right?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart and returned the food to the girl.

“Wow… too much… letting a girl reveal her age in public… it’s really too much…”

Even though she got her food back, Erya didn’t seem happy. She lowered her head and sobbed…but her pretentious tone sounded like she was pretending.

I didn’t ask you to shout it out so loudly.

Xia Zhi thought about it, looked at her and asked, “Do you want to eat more? If not, I’ll ask the waiter to take it away?”

The girl immediately regained her spirits upon hearing that, and quickly pulled the dish back in front of her, like a kitten protecting its food… She looked really hungry.

“Are you really still a college student?” After thinking about it, Xia Zhi asked again.

“What’s wrong? Don’t I look like one?”

Erya wrinkled his nose and asked back.

After he exposed himself like that in the end, wouldn’t it be too much if he still didn’t believe it?

Wait, is he asking about the age set for “himself” in this world?

That’s bad, she has never been there and hasn’t understood this kind of thing before…Will the wrong answer here have any impact on the route choice later?

On the other side, ignoring the girl who was lost in thought and showing a worried look, Xia Zhi couldn’t help but recall the first time he saw her, the lazy look she had curled up in bed… They were indeed quite similar.

“I always feel like you are thinking about something bad?” The girl shook her head. After she came to her senses, she noticed his expression and a hint of doubt appeared on her face.

“It’s just a misconception.” Xia Zhi looked away.

is it?

Erya thought about it, but didn’t care too much, but thought of another thing

“Come to think of it, shouldn’t you be in class?” she asked curiously.

“Yes, that’s why I skipped classes.” Xia Zhi answered without hesitation.

“…”

I remember that the last time he appeared in front of me, he seemed to still be the image of a good student, right?

Erya thought, with a thoughtful look on his face.

“Hmm… I see… Is he this type of male protagonist…”

In terms of appearance, it is above the passing line, and the personality is also quite distinctive… It is a very interesting character…

“…?”

Looking at the girl who was mumbling something to herself, Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly.

What is she talking about?

Just as he was wondering about this, he saw the girl suddenly raised her head, looked at him with clear blue eyes, and said:

“Young man, I like you very much.”

Faced with this sudden “confession”, Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment.

How should I put it? Although I have a lot of experience in dating, it is quite rare for someone to confess to me when I first meet someone (sort of). Or should I say, it’s my first experience?

but

“Even if you say that, you can’t waive today’s bill.” Xia Zhi reminded her after thinking about it.

“Eh?”

Erya was slightly stunned.

So, I still have to pay off my debts?

“…”

Looking at the table full of various dishes in front of her, she couldn’t help but fall into silence.

…….

Chapter 1,248: What did the second Asian Loli say?

It turns out that people tend to make impulse purchases when they are hungry.

Although he ordered a lot of food, Erya’s stomach capacity was limited. Even with Xiazhi’s help, he was unable to finish it in the end and could only choose to pack it up and take it home.

As expected, the physical constitutions of elves cannot be generalized. If it were Tohka, there probably wouldn’t be any problems, right?

Xia Zhi sighed in his heart.

“I said……”

The girl’s tentative voice came to my ears.

Xia Zhi looked at her doubtfully, and saw the shy look on her face. After a long moment of awkwardness, she spoke:

“Well… admittedly, we all agree that transactions based on equal exchange are fair, but when it comes to specific individual details, we should also take into account the inevitable individual differences… Therefore, after looking at the facts… thinking carefully… weighing the many connections and the views of both parties, in other words… well, in a nutshell, in my opinion, from the perspective of facts…”

“What do you want to say?”

Xia Zhi curled his lips and interrupted her.

“You’ve eaten half of your lunch just now, so I don’t need to share the whole thing…right?” the girl asked tentatively.

It turned out to be the case.

Xia Zhi nodded thoughtfully and helped her summarize the main idea:

“You want to default on your debt?”

Am I that kind of person?

Erya puffed up her cheeks slightly in dissatisfaction, but after thinking about it, she blinked and asked expectantly: “Is it okay?”

“No.”

tsk…

Rejected, Erya smacked his lips, showing a disappointed expression, took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.

Yes, they did not go to school, but returned to the girl’s home.

It’s not because I was thinking “I’m already absent for the whole day, I might as well stay away for the whole day”, but because on the one hand, the main purpose of going to school today has been achieved, and on the other hand… I can’t go to school with a pile of leftover food, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself as he followed the girl into the house.

“Please sit anywhere and make yourself at home,” Erya greeted him, then turned and walked into the living room, as if he was planning to do something.

“…”

Looking at the room which was still in the same mess with nowhere to stay as the last time he came, Xia Zhi fell silent.

Where should I sit?

After sighing slightly, he was somewhat accustomed to it and didn’t take it too seriously. He took the food to the kitchen and put it in the refrigerator, then returned to the living room. However, he saw the girl lying on the bed with her back to the door, seemingly looking for something in a pile of clothes.

“Strange…” The girl muttered something in confusion.

“…”
