Chapter 18: A Chance Encounter at a Ramen Restaurant
Chapter 18: A Chance Encounter at a Ramen Restaurant
It has been a week since Yui went on a trip, and Hiratsuka Hane's life has remained regular during this week.
I walk the dog and eat in the morning, then come back and lie down to catch up on my sleep, eat lunch at noon, and then read a book and study...
I walk the dog and eat in the evening, and when I can’t sleep I stay up late playing games...
The next day, we continued with the activities from the previous day. During this time, I chatted with Yui or Hikigaya for a few minutes, and the day passed like this.
Even during holidays, Hiratsuka Yu insists on getting up early every day to walk the dogs. These two little ones start jumping around as soon as they open their eyes. If he doesn't take them out for a walk, Hiratsuka Yu won't be able to sleep at all!
It's so hot today, Hiratsuka Yu still chooses to go out. There is no food left at home and it needs to be replenished urgently. Besides, he really wants to eat hot pot now~
As soon as he went out, Hiratsuka Yu wanted to go back home because the temperature outside was too hot!
Under the scorching sun, the cicadas in the courtyard were still chirping intermittently, some more or less mockingly. Hiratsuka Yu, who could not bear the heat, could only quicken his pace.
What's even more frustrating is that Hiratsuka Yu is now very confused. He doesn't know which restaurant to go to for lunch or what to eat when he arrives.
As if possessed by his fifth uncle, Hiratsuka Tsubasa wandered aimlessly on the street for a long time, when a ramen restaurant came into his sight.
This is the one I chose. It has air conditioning.
Because it is summer, not many people eat ramen now. Looking at the various types of ramen on the menu, Hiratsuka Yu skillfully chose an extra portion of clear soup ramen, and ordered an extra portion of barbecued pork and bamboo shoots, and prepared to find a seat and wait for the meal.
When Hiratsuka Yu was looking for a seat with his ticket in his hand, a familiar figure came into his sight.
She was wearing a white gown with a black vest underneath, and black trousers and high heels.
No matter how you look at it, this is the real black long straight hair, coupled with the beautiful face that is enough to stand out from the crowd~
That's right, it's her! Hiratsuka Yu's cute and violent cousin Hiratsuka Shizuka!
But isn't she too hot wearing so many clothes? Besides, she's eating ramen now! Hiratsuka Yu can't stand wearing slippers and shorts~ She's really not afraid of getting heat stroke with this outfit...
Because the weather is too hot, Hiratsuka Yu has stayed at home these days except for morning exercises. He has no intention of going out. He feels a little tight in his body these two days from the air-conditioning. Hiratsuka Yu, who did not enter the Futsal Meditation Stage, decided to loosen his skin artificially to activate the tendons throughout his body.
"Hey~ Isn't this my dearest older single dog Sister Jing? Why are you eating ramen alone again today? Didn't your uncle ask you to go on a blind date?"
After receiving the ramen, Hiratsuka Yu sat down opposite Hiratsuka Shizuka who was slurping noodles. The sarcastic tone in his voice sounded like he deserved a beating.
Boom!
As expected, Hiratsuka Shizuka punched Hiratsuka Yu to the ground...
"It's only been a few days since we last met, Hiratsuka Yu, are you planning to rebel?!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka blew on her fist and looked at her cousin who dared to provoke her with a grim look.
"Sister Jing, haven't you eaten yet?"
There was still a large portion of noodles left in Hiratsuka Shizuka's ramen bowl. It seemed okay for Hiratsuka Yu to ask this question.
Boom! !
"If you dare to say such things in front of me next time, I will make you disappear, Hiratsuka Yu!"
The female warrior stared at Hiratsuka Tsubasa with murderous intent, making the customers who were eating noodles around her tremble in fear.
Hiratsuka Tsubasa felt that the strength was just right, and the blocked tendons and veins in the body were unblocked a lot.
"How could my dearest sister Jing bear to beat me to death~"
With this force, Hiratsuka Yu quickly raised his arms and swung them a few times, and moved his body a few times. The fatigue brought about by the recent irregular life finally faded away a little.
"I don't want to talk to you right now!"
Feeling hurt, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Tsukasa Hiratsuka aggrievedly, picked up the bowl and ate the soy sauce ramen quietly.
Maybe she felt the soup was still a little bland, so Shizuka Hiratsuka poured some soy sauce into the ramen and took a piece of barbecued pork from her cousin's bowl...
"Just kidding~ Anyway, I'm single now~"
Realizing that something was wrong, Hiratsuka Yu hurried to please his cousin.
"Aren't you attracted to Yuigahama Yui? I wonder what sins she committed in her past life!" Hiratsuka Shizuka said unhappily, not wanting to pay attention to him.
"What are you talking about! This is called fate~ It's indescribable!"
Hiratsuka Yu was so angry at Hiratsuka Shizuka's rolling eyes that he sucked his teeth and quickly drank some soup to calm himself down.
It's no wonder that Shizuka Hiratsuka insisted on pouring soy sauce into the soup. Hiratsuka Yu took a sip of the soup and found that the noodles were indeed a bit bland. He took the soy sauce bottle from Shizuka Hiratsuka and poured some into the soup. After stirring it, he took another sip. This time the taste was much stronger.
"It's your uncle's fate, and it hasn't even started yet!" Shizuka Hiratsuka said slowly.
"I'm working hard. Sister Jing, are you driving today? It's too hot now and I want to take a ride."
At this time, Hiratsuka Yu is as servile as he can be. Who wants to walk on two legs when there is a sports car to ride?
"I've driven it, but I'll have to take it home soon. Someone asked me to have a drink with him in the evening." Shizuka Hiratsuka said lazily.
"Can you send it back to me on the way?" Hiratsuka Yu asked flatteringly.
"It would have been fine if you hadn't laughed at me for being single before, but now~" I finally found a way to find my cousin's sore spot and said with interest.
......
Hiratsuka Yu now has a face full of regret. If he had known earlier, he would not have said such a mean thing...
Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression that looked even more annoying than his, Hiratsuka Yu, who had been his sister for so many years, understood instantly that if he wanted to take the bus, it would be impossible without bleeding a lot!
"Speaking of which, Sister Jing, it's so boring for two people to drink together. It's unbearable to go to a pub when it's so hot. The bar is so quiet and there's no atmosphere...
Why don’t you come to my house in the evening? My dad still has some hot pot base that he mailed to me. I’ll treat you to spicy hot pot!
You can also call that person over, wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the air conditioning and some beer? If you drink too much, you can stay at my house, you don't have to send the car home~"
After thinking for a few seconds, Hiratsuka Yu made a suggestion that made Hiratsuka Shizuka extremely excited.
In fact, Hiratsuka Yu was mainly thinking that the cost of taking a taxi was too high, so why not treat Sister Jing to a meal? Anyway, the final cost is about the same, and in the end, it is still a meal for Sister Jing, and the reputation will come~
Besides, eating hotpot alone at home is really boring. After listening to too many emo songs, Hiratsuka Yu is afraid that he will suddenly cry while eating hotpot...
"Oh my! The sun is rising from the west today? You actually planned to treat me to a meal?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka said in disbelief.
"How is that impossible? You are my most respected sister Jing~"
"You'd better tell the truth! Otherwise I won't be able to eat this meal in peace!"
As the siblings who know each other's character best, Shizuka Hiratsuka's face is now full of vigilance.
"I want to eat hotpot today. It's boring to eat alone. I'll eat alone or eat with two people anyway. I can't walk in such a hot day. The taxi fare is so expensive, so I might as well treat you a meal~" Hiratsuka Yu shrugged and said without reservation.
"I knew it! Have you bought groceries?" Shizuka Hiratsuka said it was just as expected.
"I'm here to eat and buy some groceries. It's too hot today and I really don't feel like moving..."
"Then why don't you eat quickly! Let's go to the supermarket after eating. I want to eat Wagyu beef."
Hiratsuka Shizuka signaled to Hiratsuka Tsuyoshi to finish the ramen quickly and then go buy groceries.
"Hey, hey, hey! Even though I'm treating you to a meal, you better give me some food!
Is everything really that expensive? Can't I just buy some meat slices? It's so expensive that I might as well take a taxi!" Hiratsuka Han said with a pained look.
"When Yuigahama went to your house, you were willing to buy everything, but when I went there, I just gave you some slices of meat, right?
Besides, my drinking buddy is a well-known figure in Chiba. When he goes to his brother's house for dinner, you treat him with vegetarian dishes?
I don’t want to save face! How can I face people in the future? "
Hiratsuka Shizuka stared at Hiratsuka Tsubasa with a fierce look.
"Since you said so, I will definitely give you the full face! But how did you know? I didn't post it on WeChat Moments..."
"The supermarket had a special sale on alcohol that day, and I saw you when I went to pick up a bargain! I couldn't stop you even if I shouted~ Oh, by the way, don't forget to buy some more beer later!"
"What I'm saying is, I've already bought you such expensive ingredients, how could I possibly be short of a few cans of beer?" Hiratsuka Yu said disdainfully.
