My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

Arriving at Shinjuku Kita, you'll find many tall buildings, making it a true 'commercial center'.

"I wanted to eat here, but I haven't decided what to eat yet. Chirei, is there anything you'd like to eat?" Kurose Izumi looked around, her face slightly troubled.

He knew that Shiraishi Chiren liked sweets, but he wasn't quite sure what she wanted to eat.

"Shall we leave the decision to Izumi?"

Seeing his troubled expression, Shiraishi Chiren smiled and decided to make things difficult for him.

"Qianlian, you really like to tease people. Fine, I'll decide then."

"Because Izumi looks so cute when she looks troubled, it makes you want to tease her."

At this moment, Shiraishi Chiren seemed to have become a sadist, uttering dangerous words that made people's hearts pound and their imaginations run wild!

In any case, Izumi Kurose was terrified and her scalp was tingling!

Afterwards, they entered a shopping mall with dozens of floors and went to a Chinese restaurant.

Welcome!

Upon entering, the waiter led the two to a square table at the back.

After they were all seated, the waiter took out the menu and handed it to him, saying, "This is the menu. The recommended cuisines are marked on it. You two can take a look first."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Kurose Izumi took the menu, nodded, and continued, "I've heard that Chinese cuisine is very delicious and that I have unique insights into cooking. Of course, that's what I read online; I haven't actually eaten much of it myself."

"I believe Izumi's judgment is not too bad."

"Here we go again. Too much flattery won't do me any good, will it?"

"These are all the truths. Izumi could have been a little more confident."

……

The waiter stood with his hands folded in front of him, watching the couple playfully bickering with a slight smile, appearing very patient.

After noticing the gaze on one side, Kurose Izumi immediately realized what was happening.

"Ah... I'm sorry!" he quickly apologized, then ordered, "Please give me a Kung Pao Chicken, Crispy Shrimp Balls, Yangzhou Fried Rice... and finally, a Red Bean Sweet Soup and a Caramel Crème Brûlée."

"Okay, since it's lunchtime, the food will be served a little slowly. Please wait a moment." The waiter took the menu, bowed, and left.

Seeing the waiter leave, Kurose Izumi grumbled somewhat discontentedly, "It's all your fault. You praised me and said nice things all at once, which made me get carried away."

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'm too obsessed with Quan, so I was talking without thinking about anyone else."

"Qianlian...you!"

Listening to this, Izumi Kurose thought to herself, "She's got it!" She began to wonder whether in a relationship the man leads the woman, or the woman leads the man!

Whether it's kissing or any other intimate gesture, it seems that she's the one who initiates and carries it out, while I'm the passive one.

"Quan, what's wrong? Your face is starting to turn red. Is it the lighting?"

"Such arrogance comes from a mere Shiraishi Senren..."

Recalling all the moments they shared, Kurose Izumi finally realized that he was the innocent little lamb!

"Oh my god~ Is Izumi thinking about how to transform into a 'big bad wolf' and eat me up right now?"

Shiraishi Chiren propped her flawless profile with one hand and said with interest, "Maybe tonight will be an opportunity. In galga, dates usually end up lasting all night, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kurose Izumi immediately became embarrassed and hurriedly waved her hands, saying, "No! I'm still young, don't do anything indecent!"

"Hmph, Izumi is really cute. I'm getting more and more into seeing you blush and act all flustered."

"Chiren, you... your personality is really awful! How come I never noticed before?"

"Izumi doesn't seem to dislike it, does she? She seems to be enjoying it," Shiraishi Chiren said with a smile.

She did this because she knew that Izumi Kurose liked this way of interacting, and she also genuinely enjoyed teasing him.

"I... I'm truly defeated by you," Kurose Izumi said with a wry smile.

As Shiraishi Chiren said, he didn't dislike this way of getting along, perhaps because it was her.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, here is what you two ordered."

After a while, the waiter pushed a trolley and placed the dishes they had ordered on the table one by one.

"Please enjoy your meal. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."

After giving a polite greeting, he went on to greet other guests.

"Oh, this looks delicious! Let's eat!" Kurose Izumi exclaimed, looking at the tempting aroma of the dishes on the table.

It's clear that these dishes were made with great care.

For example, the crispy shrimp balls were arranged in a circle. And the fried rice was arranged in a perfect heart shape!

"Quan, will you feed me?"

Shiraishi Chiren didn't rush to pick up her chopsticks. Instead, she smiled at him, her cherry lips slightly parted, showing great anticipation.

"Well... okay, it's a rare date, so it's good to leave some interesting memories."

Kurose Izumi initially wanted to refuse, but considering it was their first date, she nodded in agreement.

He picked up a shrimp ball with his chopsticks, carefully blowing on it to make sure it wasn't too hot before feeding it to her.

"Ow~"

Shiraishi Chiren took a bite, her eyes brimming with an undisguised smile.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"I was so happy that I didn't taste the flavor. Please feed me again."

"……cunning!"

Despite complaining, Kurose Izumi still picked up a shrimp ball and fed it to her again.

"Mmm...delicious. Izumi, have a piece too."

This time, Shiraishi Chiren didn't tease him anymore. Instead, she nodded and picked up a piece, offering it to him as well.

"I...I guess I don't need it?"

"Doesn't Quan want to eat what I put on her plate?"

"Okay, I'll eat it."

Kurose Izumi reluctantly agreed, opened her mouth and ate the shrimp ball, her heart filled with a mixture of embarrassment and joy.

After all, it's quite embarrassing to be feeding each other like this in a restaurant, acting all lovey-dovey.

The meal was eaten extremely slowly because a spoiled brat kept asking to be fed, forcing someone to keep picking food up their plate.

After lunch, it was already 12:35.

"Next, to get to the Chome Aquarium, we need to take a train to Ueno."

After leaving the Chinese restaurant, the two held hands and went to the station, where they boarded a train bound for Ueno.

It was Saturday, and the train was crowded. After Kurose Izumi and his group got on, they couldn't find any empty seats and had to stand by holding onto the handrail.

He shielded Shiraishi Chiren in front of him to prevent her from being crowded and to protect her from certain people with 'ulterior motives'.

Although the chances of such a thing happening are slim, it is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

If anyone dared to do that, he would definitely grab that person on the spot and beat them up!

'So close... I can even feel her breath...'

Kurose Izumi looked down at Shiraishi Chiren, who was standing close by, and thought to herself.

At the same time, he recalled a similar incident that had occurred on a return train in Chiyoda.

At that time, he could not rightfully protect Shiraishi Chiren, and could only rely on chance.

At this moment, Shiraishi Chiren, who was being held against his chest, looked up slightly at his face and said softly, "Izumi, you seem a little nervous."

"Of course, we've been apart for so long, I was worried about whether I brushed my teeth properly this morning, so that they might smell bad."

"Really? Since you're so worried, why don't you give it a try?"

"Try it? How—"

Kurose Izumi, who was still wondering, hadn't finished speaking when Shiraishi Chire smiled, reached out and cupped his face, kissing him.

Upon realizing the situation, Kurose Izumi's eyes widened, her heart filled with panic.

'No...no, doesn't she care what other people think?'

Kurose Izumi wanted to refuse, but she was squeezed by the crowd and could not move an inch as if she were stuck in a quagmire.

The next second, he suddenly felt a soft touch on his thin lips, and a girl's fragrance wafted into his heart.

The smell was incredibly pleasant, making people feel relaxed and completely intoxicated.

"Quan has been brushing his teeth properly, so you can rest assured."

A few seconds later, Shiraishi Chiren released Kurose Izumi and gave him an 'innocent' smile.

"You... you really act recklessly. Next time, at least consider the occasion." Kurose Izumi sighed softly, but couldn't bring herself to blame her.

"There's nothing I can do about it. The different kind of spring is so close by, and I've discovered that kissing is also quite captivating."

"So my girlfriend is actually a useless pretty girl who's obsessed with kissing?"

"Isn't this good? Izumi is clearly very happy and likes it very much."

Shiraishi Chiren didn't care about Kurose Izumi's words, knowing that he would indulge her willfulness, because that was just how gentle he was.

"Next time, I hope we can kiss when no one is around. I don't want anyone to see your cute blushing face."

"Okay, I'll try to control myself next time."

95. Misunderstanding

"Reminder, the train has arrived at Ueno station. Next stop: Joan West..."
