All the people who like me are other people’s girlfriends! ?

"It's done, let's go." Qingye exhaled and took off his apron.

Banai nodded and then untied the hair tie. Her smooth blue hair cascaded down like silk, with a faint aroma of French fry oil on the ends of her hair.

The two returned to the lounge, grabbing their belongings.

Qingye took out the large raincoat the girl gave him last time and zipped it up to his chin. The quality of this raincoat bought from a convenience store was not very good and it had a cheap plastic smell, but he liked it very much because it was big enough and very comfortable to move around in.

After packing up, Qingye turned off the lights and the two walked out the door.

The streets were deserted, with only the streetlights emitting a dim glow.

It's still a bit cold with the cold wind blowing outside.

At this moment, Ba Nai Jian suddenly cried out.

Qingye turned sideways and looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

"I think I forgot to bring my raincoat..." The blue-haired girl blinked and put her fingertips behind her.

Qingye raised an eyebrow, speechless. It's the rainy season recently! It rains three out of five days. How could you forget to bring a raincoat in this kind of weather? You really are a stupid foodie!

Wait, the current situation, that is to say...

It suddenly rained at night, and a young man and woman shared an umbrella.

Apparently, this is a classic rainy day goodwill incident!

——But Qingye doesn’t think so.

Because the so-called shared bicycle incident has become a daily occurrence here, so what difference does it make even if there is an extra umbrella? Not to mention there are no umbrellas at all! So this guy really just forgot!

But how can this...

"Young senior, do you know—" Ba Nai Jian tugged at his sleeve with a grin, his lake-blue eyes flashing like searchlights. "Your raincoat is a parent-child style, right? And it's the dad's oversized one!"

Qingye gradually realized something, took a breath, and took a half step back - and Banaijian had already tiptoed to lift the back of his raincoat, and the citrus scent with body temperature suddenly invaded the narrow space.

It was a familiar scent.

"Try it on for a bit."

There was a rustling sound, and Banai saw that the movement of getting into the raincoat was as smooth as getting into a sleeping bag.

Qingye's body stiffened, and he suddenly felt the sound of rain disappear. Only the girl's breathing and heartbeat remained in his ears. His bodies inevitably came into contact, and he felt the girl's touch on his back. He inexplicably imagined the girl's gentle eyes at this moment, and the sound of fabric rubbing against each other sounded softly.

Banaijian placed his cold hands on his waist as if to check his raincoat.

With such close contact, even Qingye's heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably. He took a deep breath and quickly reached out to lift up the raincoat, wanting to push her out - but Banai suddenly stumbled, pushing him forward two steps.

"It's going to leak."

My ears were wet with warm breath.

The excessive movement brought the two of them to the street. The sound of rain hitting the waterproof coat was crackling, and the hot air exhaled by the girl condensed into misty circles on the inner wall of the plastic.

The corners of Qingye's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but become conjoined twins now. After all, he couldn't let the girl get wet in the rain. Moreover, after confirming the strange postures of the two, the hint of romance in his heart disappeared, and there was only a helpless amusement.

“I’m really impressed…”

The girl's laughter sounded like some scheme had succeeded: "Now it really has become a parent-child outfit!"

then.

She grabbed the edge of the boy's clothes.

"Brother, take me home."

The upturned tail sound is like a half-melted marshmallow in the rain.

"...You're not going to pretend to be an older sister today, right?" Qingye felt her body tremble inexplicably, but she still spoke in a deep voice.

The two of them walked to the bicycle in this posture, and the puddles they accidentally stepped into splashed some mud on their shoes.

The back seat of the bicycle is just covered by the hem of the raincoat. No matter how big a raincoat is, if it is worn by two people, there will be a part of the body that will not be covered. This really becomes a tribute to a legendary girl's comic.

"Should I be a voice actor in the future?" The rain was drizzling, but not too heavy. Yanaijian grabbed the corner of his clothes and started the topic happily as usual.

"Why do you want to be a voice actor again?" The woman's expression changed so quickly, Qingye sighed.

"Because your future work will be animated, right? So I can rely on your relationship to be the voice actor of the heroine!" The girl seemed to have no dreams at all.

“I don’t know where to start complaining…”

Even if it's animated, you definitely won't be the voice actor for the heroine! You're two completely different characters!

"Come to think of it, why did Qingye-kun fill in my home address? My mom and I were both shocked when the editor came to our house last time..."

In the hazy rain scene, the sound of wheels was as regular as windshield wipers. Banaijian fiddled with the black hair that accidentally blew into his mouth and asked casually.

For a young high school girl, the idea of ​​someone spending extended periods of time in an internet cafe was practically an urban legend. While she knew Kiyono's life was somewhat difficult, at least he had a stable place to live, right? A room that could fit six tatami mats, right? And a private bathroom, right? This was her worst-case scenario for poverty.

"Because I live under a bridge." Qingye answered calmly.

"Really? You're joking again." Banaijian stretched out a finger and poked his waist.

This is no joke...

Qingye smiled without explaining. Under the dim street lights, the puddles on the side of the road were faintly illuminated, reflecting the overlapping outlines of the two people.

Even in the rain, the Yanai family's exclusive driver still safely brought the young lady back home.

The blue-haired girl, whose back was slightly wet, jumped out of the car with a "hey" and hugged her bag in her arms.

"See you tomorrow, young senior!"

She held her bag in one hand and waved vigorously with the other.

Qingye nodded, but he didn't know if it was his illusion...

He always felt that Ba Nai Jian’s belly seemed to be bigger than usual?

...

ps: Romantic comedy! (fist

...

039. How do you evaluate Ba Nai Jian?

In the Internet cafe, Qingye slowly pressed the keyboard with a smile on his face, as if he was sitting in the middle of a bamboo forest, holding a black chess piece, and discussing things.

"Mr. Yasuda, what do you think light novels are?"

His editor is a man named Yoshi Yasuda, who is in his thirties. He has a cheerful personality and is very dedicated to his work. Even if he is asked to do something, he is always very enthusiastic - but for some reason he is nicknamed the devil editor.

"In a popular sense, light novels are a type of popular literature aimed at young people. They are essentially commodities, spiritual consumer goods designed to satisfy the fantasies of contemporary young people..."

The editor's response was quite human.

Qingye added, "Please explain it in simple terms."

"Illustrations, plots that appeal to young men, and lots of beautiful girls."

Now I understand.

"Sure enough, illustrations are at the top of the list, right? Illustrations will directly affect the quality of the work, right? So, as we are a community with a shared destiny, can you find an experienced and beautiful young girl artist who can fully understand the characters created by the author and is also cute and adorable?" Qingye's true intentions were revealed.

After all, light novels are also called light art collections. There is no need to say how much more money a good artist can make from the work... and how much color he can add to the work.

"How could there be such a person?" The editor said, a little nervously. "I'll get the illustrations done for you as soon as possible, but this isn't something I can decide on my own. It depends on the wishes and arrangements of the company and the artist..."

"Please, if there's no good artist, I..." Qingye made a tearful and pleading expression.

Because it has rained a lot recently and summer vacation is approaching, the restaurant's business has declined a bit. However, this is a good thing for the employees, as it means they can have longer breaks.

At 7:30 in the evening, Qingye, who happened to be on his break, returned to the staff room, gulped down half a bottle of water, then sat down at his seat and took a chocolate bar left over from Banaijian's lunch to replenish his energy.

Next to him, there were three older sister seniors who were also taking a break. They were either lying on the small sofa or lying on the table, and they had basically no image at all - oh, I almost overlooked a little animal named Xiaoju who was huddled in the corner.

As for Banaijian, it is not her turn yet.

“It’s so nice to have fewer customers…” The woman sinking into the sofa seemed to have said something terrible.

"By the way, are we going to have a vote for the best employee soon?"

Xiao Ye, who was sitting at the table with a ponytail, supported her chin with one hand and started the topic with great interest. This was a fun little program set up by the consul. Its nature was basically equivalent to the three good students in school, but the person who was recognized as the top of the list would be rewarded with a small cake from the store.

"Yes, yes, I am the previous champion, but this time I will probably be surpassed by the younger generation." The woman on the sofa jumped up. She had neat short hair and was short in stature, but she exuded an inexplicable resentment. Her name was Yasuda.

As soon as the words fell, the women all turned their eyes to Qingye's face.

Ono suddenly said, "Who do you think is the best employee this term?"

"Well, it should be Kiyono-kun..." Yasuda answered quickly.

"It depends on the situation...but, it should be Qingye-kun, right?" Another person also followed up the topic.

Qingye, who had inexplicably received a title, kept twitching his lips: "Why did they choose me?"

"Because the evaluation standard for us girls is attentiveness, and Qingye-kun is obviously the most attentive boy among our group! I like you very much, sister!" Yasuda looked at him with shining eyes.

"That's right, Qingye-kun, last time I saw a mother bring a pair of twin girls to dinner. She even used ketchup to draw two cuddling bears on the children's meal, which happened to be the same pattern on their clothes. After that, I often saw this family coming to dinner."

Ono smiled and nodded, looking at Qingye with eyes full of admiration. It was obvious that women liked these silent details very much.

Qingye felt a little embarrassed by the praise: "Isn't this a very common way to solicit customers? And, if we talk about being attentive, isn't Yanaijian the same? I vote for her!"

"Xiao Xingcai?"

Yasuda was stunned, and his expression gradually became strange: "Xingcai...should be a generous and unconcerned girl?"

She used a very high EQ statement. After all, this was the impression that Banaijian gave people: he was greedy for sunshine, innocent, a little childish, and he often made small mistakes that made people laugh and cry.

Although the others didn't say anything, they obviously shared the same opinion as her.

Feeling the message conveyed by this silence, Qingye frowned, feeling a little subtly unhappy in his heart - he knew the girl's considerate, gentle and careful side.

"Also, Xingcai took some children's dinosaur stickers and stuck them on the wall inside the seat last time. I was stunned when I saw it!"

Yasuda complained, but there was no malice in his tone, it was just a teasing as if he was treating a naughty sister.

Hearing this, Qingye was silent for two seconds, then he said -

*

Banaijian was walking in the aisle of the staff area. He let out a light breath, rubbed his cheeks that were stiff from smiling, and prepared to take turns resting with his senior.

But just as she was about to knock on the door, the conversation inside could be faintly heard.

"What do you think of this best employee..."

"Xingcai last time... I was stunned when I saw it!"

For some unknown reason, the girl paused and held her breath.

Seriously, this is how my seniors see me... She'd heard discussions like this about herself many times at school, and most of them had received the same evaluations as now - naive, stupid, and a foodie. Because she was indeed like that, she didn't mind it in her heart, but...

Then, she heard Qingye's voice.

*

"That's not the case."

Qingye's tone seemed as gentle as usual, but it unconsciously took on a serious tone: "That time, a guest's child scribbled on the wall. By the time we noticed, it was too late. Banaijian put up the dinosaur stickers to protect the guests who came after him."

(Eh?)

(Outside the door, Ba Nai was stunned, and a ripple of emotion rose in his heart.)

Inside the door, the others were also stunned. Yasuda's eyes widened in surprise, "So that's how it is? Did we misunderstand Xiao Xingcai?"

It's not a complete misunderstanding... maybe it's because she really likes those childish stickers.

Qingye continued, "If it's just about being gentle, there are many examples. For example, one time a customer spilled some soup. After mopping the floor, Banaijian put anti-slip stickers on the accident area because there was an elderly person nearby and he was afraid he might slip and fall..."

He didn't know why he said all this... Although she was indeed a silly foodie, she also had a delicate side.

"anything else?"

"She also likes to turn the spice bottles to a fixed angle after wiping the table. What a waste of time..."

Qingye suddenly stopped talking. He saw the seniors all gathered in front of him, with curiosity and smiles on their faces, as if to say - talk more, I love to listen!

Are you the aunties who are looking for gossip?
