Chapter 168 Farewell to Iroha
Chapter 168 Farewell to Iroha
Chapter 168 Reunion with Isshiki Iroha
As evening approached, Shiina Mahiru also left, and Natsuo saw her off from the apartment.
When he returned, he looked at the empty and quiet room and suddenly realized what had happened.
He was all alone.
The long-awaited situation made him feel uncomfortable instantly.
After all, he had gotten used to living with Shiina Mahiru and Suo Yuki these past few days.
With nothing to do, Xia Sheng changed his clothes and went out to buy a bento box.
Shiina Mahiru did not make him dinner.
After leaving the apartment, Xia Sheng headed straight for the supermarket. Although he was not short of money and could eat whatever he wanted, he didn't really want to eat anything since he was alone.
Looking for someone to go with?
There's no one else I can look for. :::::: It's not that there's no one.
A playful figure flashed through Xia Sheng's mind.
Come to think of it, it seems like the two of them haven't seen each other for a long time since the start of the semester, and they wonder how she is doing.
Xia Sheng wanted to see her, so he changed direction and headed towards a residential area.
Soon they arrived at a residential area, and Xia Sheng followed the familiar path to an ordinary two-story house.
The sign on the door reads "Yise".
The one he was looking for was, of course, Isshiki Iroha.
Xia Sheng rang the doorbell.
A moment later, the door opened, and a youthful and beautiful figure walked out.
"Who...? Senior?" Iroha Isshiki looked surprised when she saw who it was.
"What? Don't you recognize me?" Xia Sheng asked with a smile.
"How could this be~ But why are you here, senpai?" Isshiki Iroha's surprise turned to joy, and she skipped and hopped toward him.
"I suddenly missed you, so I came to find you," Xia Sheng replied truthfully.
"Misunderstanding?" Isshiki Iroha stared at him blankly.
"Is there a problem?"
"Miss...miss me?" Isshiki Iroha blinked, wondering if she had misheard.
"I miss you. We haven't seen each other in so long, and you haven't come to see me. You promised you would come to see me!" Xia Sheng asked, pretending to be angry.
"Well... it's only been a short time since school started, I'm still in the stage of building relationships with my friends," Iroha Isshiki replied shyly.
"A friend? A woman?"
"Otherwise what? Why would you ask that, senpai?" Iroha Isshiki tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.
"I'm just concerned about whether you understand or not," Xia Sheng said without changing his expression.
"You finally got into Jingxiu Wenwu High School, why are you dating instead of studying? Studying is a student's duty."
"Tch~" Isshiki Iroha scoffed unhappily.
That's not the answer she wanted.
"What? Disappointed? Don't want to hear this? What did you think I would say? Sorry, don't overthink it. I just came to catch up with you. Let's forget about anything more." Xia Sheng said decisively, as if rejecting her confession.
"Senior...:::" Iroha Isshiki glared at him through gritted teeth.
The familiar smell was back, which annoyed her greatly.
Why would the senior say that?
How can you be so infuriating!
"Hehe~ This feels really great." Natsuo laughed happily as he looked at Isshiki Irohaku's expression.
Using the opponent's methods to control them is the most effective approach.
The importance of striking first.
After all, if Xia Sheng doesn't treat her like this, she will definitely treat him like this in the future.
"Senior, I'm getting angry. It's been so long, is this how you are?" Iroha Isshiki clenched her fists, looking like she wanted to pounce on him and bite him.
"Alright, alright, I was just kidding. Do you want to come have dinner with me?" Xia Sheng explained his purpose.
"Hmm?" Isshiki Iroha looked at him in confusion.
The topic changed so quickly that she was caught off guard.
But, her senior came to call her for dinner?
"What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says, catching up with you and having a meal together."
"Is that so...? Senior, are you lonely because no one is eating with you?" Isshiki Iroha looked at him with a smile.
"That's not entirely wrong," Xia Sheng admitted.
"Why did you ask me, senior? Where's Shiina-senpai?" Isshiki Iroha asked curiously.
She was quite aware of the rumors about Xia Sheng at school; she didn't even need to take the initiative, her classmates would gossip about it with her.
Girls love talking about this kind of thing.
It's still about campus celebrities.
Therefore, she knows quite a bit about Xia Sheng, especially his scandals with campus celebrities.
She didn't expect that what Xia Sheng said was true; he did have friends at school, and they were all such capable women.
Even with her defiant personality, she had to admit the excellence of Yukino Yukinoshita and the others.
"You know me pretty well," Xia Sheng joked.
"Don't misunderstand, I heard it from a classmate," Isshiki Iroha explained.
"Let's just leave it at that. Mahiru has gone home, and now I have to eat alone."
"They're home... Senior and Shiina-senpai are living together?!"
"Next door, she's my neighbor."
"No wonder you go to and from school together." Isshiki Iroha suddenly realized.
"So...you two weren't dating?"
"no."
"real?"
"I'd be a dog if I lied to you." Xia Sheng raised his hand and held up three fingers.
"Hmm~" Iroha Isshiki's lips curled up, and she made an ambiguous sound, as if she was satisfied.
"And what about you and Yukinoshita-senpai?"
"You really do know me well," Xia Sheng said, amused.
"I already said no! I heard it from my classmate!" Isshiki Iroha quickly denied.
"Okay, okay, I believe you."
"That senior is so annoying!"
"Yukino and I aren't dating either. I'm single now, okay?" Natsumi reached out and placed her head on his head, giving it a couple of affectionate rubs.
Her hair was so soft and silky that I couldn't bear to touch it.
"What's going on with Sakurajima-senpai and senpai?" Iroha Isshiki asked, ignoring him.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Are you coming to dinner with me or not? I'm starving." Xia Sheng couldn't take it anymore.
"The senior is avoiding the question!"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Do you want to confirm that I'm single so you can pursue me? Sorry, you're too young. Let's talk about it when you've grown up a bit more."
"Senior! You're saying things like that again!" Iroha Isshiki slapped his hand away and glared at him angrily.
"It's all because you asked so many questions. Come on, have dinner with me, it's on me, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Xia Sheng was too lazy to confirm, so he grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
"Wait! My mom is making dinner..."
"Have a meal with me once in a while."
"Well... I'll talk to my mom... and I need to change my shoes." Iroha Isshiki pulled Natsumi back and whispered.
"Okay." Xia Sheng released her, smiling as he looked into her eyes.
"Hmm..:"
.
Isshiki Iroha gave a soft hum, her face slightly flushed, and turned back.
She called out to her family from the doorway, "Mom, I'm not eating dinner, I'm going out for a bit."
"Huh? Why aren't you eating?"
"My friend came to visit me, and I went out to eat with him/her."
"Really? Come back soon."
"oh."
After changing her shoes, Isshiki Iroha closed the door and ran quickly toward Natsuo.
"Senior, let's hurry!"
"Why the rush?"
"What if Mom finds out? Hurry!"
Isshiki Iroha took the initiative to pull Natsuo's sleeve and led him away quickly.
Xia Sheng did not resist and quickened his pace to match hers.
The two hadn't gone far when the door to the Isshiki Iroha house was pushed open, and a mature woman came out.
She could see their backs clearly.
She immediately recognized Xia Sheng's back, understood the situation, and couldn't help but smile, rubbing her face.
My daughter is that age now.
Isshiki Iroha didn't look back until she turned the corner, at which point she finally felt relieved.
"Senior, what are you planning to take me out to eat? Since you're treating me, it can't be something cheap, right?"
She released Xia Sheng, put her arms around him, leaned her upper body slightly, tilted her head to look at Xia Sheng, and smiled brightly.
The youthful energy of the girl is palpable.
"No, you can eat whatever you want."
"real?"
Why would I lie to you?
"Then I won't be polite?"
"Don't worry, your senior has plenty of money."
"In that case, I'd like to eat seafood!"
"this one?"
"I've never eaten it."
"Then I'll grant your wish."
"Thank you, senior!"
