"Can I...can I change the menu?"

"Uh... the food is served." Bai Ye pointed behind her.

"Isn't this too fast?!" Eriri slammed her hand on the table, staring in amazement as the waiter placed the dishes one by one on the table. "Didn't they say we have to wait half an hour for a large crowd? They're not playing by the rules!"

Bai Ye also noticed Ying Lili's predicament, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, with a smirk emerging from his heart.

"We are special guests, so it's not normal to be served first. Is it enough for Sawamura-kun? If not, just call again. I see you haven't even had much of your afternoon tea. Don't worry! We guarantee the food will be served as quickly as possible!"

"Senior—senior—you!" Eriri gasped, her chest heaving, obviously angry.

"(?ω?)hiahiahia——!" Bai Ye laughed consciencelessly, even Shiyu and Kato Megumi were amused by the interaction between the two.

After laughing, he poured Eriri a glass of iced oolong tea.

It’s okay to joke around, but coaxing is also essential, and that’s how intimacy is built up.

"Tell me, what's going on? Didn't you buy a graphics tablet without even blinking an eye before?"

"Senior, please stop bringing up irrelevant issues..."

Ying Lili picked up the oolong tea and poured it into her mouth, tears of grievance flashing in her eyes, and then she fell on the table with a thud. The world became a new salted fish who had lost its dream.

Still golden.

The golden salted fish twisted and turned on the table, its twin ponytails spreading out like a sunflower as it swayed, while it made reluctant hesitant sounds.

"My mother bought me the digital tablet and notebook..."

"understood."

Bai Ye crossed his arms across his chest, wanting to laugh but not wanting to, and not knowing what expression to make.

"Auntie promised to buy a graphics tablet and a notebook, and now you're asking for money from Sawamura-kun. Uh...what did you do to make Auntie angry?"

"I didn't..." Eriri trailed off, "I go to school every day and come home to draw. How could I do anything to make my mother angry? That's why it's strange."

Once she opened up, Eriri didn't care about the embarrassment and poured out all the frustrations in her heart.

"My bi-weekly allowance was deducted by half, and they said it was just interest. Now my bi-weekly allowance is only 5000 yuan, and they don't even give me money to buy comics or drawing tools. It's not enough."

"My mom also said that if I don't make 1 yuan a week, half of my pocket money will be deducted as interest after two weeks... If I make 1 yuan, 5000 yuan will be used as the principal."

After hearing this, Shiyu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, and she didn't quite understand what Sayuri Sawamura was thinking.

"It's a bit harsh to deduct 5000 yen as interest, but it's easy to make yen a week. I can just find a coffee shop and work there after school for two days, and still have more than enough left."

"But my mother stipulated that I can only earn money through painting. Anything else doesn't count..."

Shiyu: “…”

"So that's why Sawamura-kun wants to steal the senior's business... Well... It doesn't seem to be the senior's business. After all, it's free, and the poster is not very satisfactory."

"That last sentence is superfluous, Kato-kun."

Bai Ye was speechless. Like Ying Lili, he picked up the oolong tea and drank it in one gulp.

He understood Sayuri Sawamura's thoughts. Sayuri Sawamura knew something about the "Gourmet Handbook". From now on, it seems that Sayuri Sawamura consciously wanted to keep Eriri away from Tomoya Aki.

As long as Ying Lili joins the "Food Handbook" club, Bai Ye will certainly prepare a salary for her that is more than 1 yuan a week, enough for her to eat, drink, have fun, and buy painting props.

But Bai Ye didn't want to speak so quickly.

If you take the initiative to find Eriri, it means you are asking Eriri for something, and the initiative is in her hands; if Eriri takes the initiative to find you, the situation will change, and you will have the initiative.

This is a God-given opportunity.

Bai Ye will not miss the opportunity to take the initiative. Now is the opportunity to increase his favorability. This time he must at least reach the level of "being able to hug Eriri without any reason."

"Never mind, it's just a meal or two."

Hearing this, Ying Lili thought to herself that there was something going on. She raised her little head and blinked her blue eyes.

"Senior wants to treat me to barbecue?"

"It's okay if you invite me." Bai Ye waved his hand generously, poured another cup of oolong tea for Ying Lili, and at the same time made a claw-like grab at Ying Lili.

"Let me pet your dog's head."

Ying Lili suddenly became furious and pounced on Bai Ye with her teeth and claws bared.

"You're the puppy. Do you believe I'll bite you to death?!"

Chapter 242: The beautiful youth of flowers needs to bloom

While being scratched by Eriri, Bai Ye also successfully touched her little head, but one of them turned into a clown face and the other into a messy hair, so both of them suffered losses.

"Alright, alright, you two, aren't you ashamed?"

"Senior, there are some things you can only do when you get home."

Shiyu and Kato Megumi held one of them each and looked at each other. They could see a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes, and there was also a hint of strange meaning.

"Sawamura-kun, you always pay attention to your image when you're around Xiaobai-kun, but why do you act so crazy when you're around him? Are you influenced by Xiaobai-kun's gentlemanly aura?"

"Because the senior is a bastard!"

Eriri looked furious, and her twin ponytails were shaking with anger, but with her messy hair, she looked funny no matter how you looked at her.

"Stop it for now. If you don't feel embarrassed, think about me and Kato, okay?" Shiyu took out a comb and a small mirror from her bag. "Turn around, I'll help you comb your hair. Girls have to pay attention to their image when they're out. You don't want to be seen in a sloppy state by the people you care about, right?"

Ying Lili trembled all over, and looked at Shi Yu with a little fear in her eyes. She even turned around carefully, fearing that she would be stabbed in the back where she couldn't see.

"Kasumigaoka, why... why do you keep saying things you wouldn't say before? And... why did your attitude towards me suddenly change? Let me make it clear first, I don't have any money."

Shiyu looked at Eriri with an unhappy look on her face. She finally understood why Xiaobai-kun sometimes couldn't help but use the Electric Dragon Drill.

This English girl is timid and afraid of change. She also likes to enjoy herself and doesn't like to use her brain. She sometimes says nonsensical things, leaving people at a loss as to how to respond.

"Have I ever treated you badly before? Have I ever touched you? At most, I just moved my mouth."

"Xiazhiqiu, you also admitted that you used to be mean to me, Qi Kexiu!"

"That's not called being evil, it's because you're such a useless young lady that any normal word you say about you becomes derogatory."

"Isn't this called being treacherous?! It's almost a personal attack!"

Shiyu and Eriri, the happy enemies, started making noise again, forgetting that they were outside, leaving Bai Ye speechless.

"Senior, come and wipe your face."

Kato Megumi picked up the hot towel that was brought to her and felt that the temperature was just right. She carefully wiped the traces of the fight on Bai Ye's face. Her movements were so gentle, as if she was treating a rare treasure.

Bai Ye's hand, which was about to take the towel, stopped in mid-air. He suddenly remembered that the "Heroine Experience Plan" was still going on.

"It's normal for a girlfriend to wipe her boyfriend's face, right?"

On the other side, Shiyu's hand suddenly tightened, causing Ying Lili to scream in pain and tears to flow out.

"Ah—it hurts! Kasumigaoka, do you know how to comb your hair? Stop scratching it."

"Don't worry, it won't break." Shiyu came back to her senses from Kato Megumi and let go of her clenched hands.

Shiyu understood what Kato Megumi meant.

This was nothing more than a counterattack against her previous inseparable relationship with Xiao Baijun at his house, telling herself that she also had her own way of being intimate with Xiao Baijun and would not admit defeat.

Everyone wants a good man, and Shiyu will never let Xiaobaijun run away.

"Shiro-kun, Hyodou-san and the others are coming in."

"Oh oh."

Bai Ye thanked Kato Megumi and took the towel to wipe his hands.

As the Icy tail members walked into the barbecue restaurant, cheers and applause suddenly rang out in the store. Everyone understood that the performance was about to begin, and they had endless fun while eating barbecue and watching the performance.

Bai Ye was no exception. He clapped harder than anyone else, and his palms turned red from the clapping.

The other three girls were also clapping, but their attention was drawn to Bai Ye. Ying Lili was even a little dizzy from the thunderous applause echoing in her ears.

"Senior seems very much looking forward to it."

"Of course I'm looking forward to it. This is Icy Tail's first performance, and it's the most exciting thing to witness other people's dreams come true."

"It makes sense..."

Ying Lili recalled her first time attending an exhibition. Although she did not set up a stall herself, she was watching from the corner. Every time she sold a book, she couldn't help but cheer in her heart.

Gaining a sense of recognition is one of the most joyful things.

……

After Boss Yuanye’s opening remarks, Icy tail took the stage again amid everyone’s cheers and applause.

"Hello everyone, welcome to Yuanye BBQ!!"

The moment Michiru Hyodo picked up the microphone and stood on the stage, she suddenly burst into an extraordinary aura.

Confidence, smile, passion...all kinds of emotions intertwined into a storm, gradually sweeping up everyone in the store, making everyone's eyes reluctant to take their eyes off her.

"I'm Michiru from Icy tail!"

"Hour!"

"Wisdom is good!"

"Lanzi!"

“Welcome everyone to Icy tail’s first concert. Although the stage is a bit small, this is where our dream began!!”

"Without further ado, please enjoy the delicious barbecue while enjoying the performance carefully prepared by Icy tail!"

"Music!"

With a sincere and concise self-introduction, Icy tail made a good first impression.

Seeing that Icy tail had a successful start, Bai Ye temporarily put his mind at ease and began to enjoy the barbecue.

And Shiyu, like many others, couldn't bear to take her eyes off the stage. Her delicate body trembled slightly to the rhythm of the music, and her crystal red eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Xiaobai-kun, I feel like I've witnessed a rising star."

Bai Ye nodded and replied while preparing the barbecue:

"Isn't that natural? You've heard it all. Don't you know the power of Icy Tail?"

"Have you heard of it?"

Bai Ye was distracted for a moment and remembered that he was the only one who had heard the complete preview of Icy tail in advance, so he quickly changed his words.

"Hyoudou-san performed for everyone when he was at my house, didn't he?"

Eriri stared at the barbecue and nodded, her mind obviously not on what he said. Shiyu supported her cheek, seemingly looking at the barbecue, but in fact she was always paying attention to Bai Ye's expression and smiled like Kato Megumi.

Shiyu understands some things. If Bai Ye doesn't mention it, she won't expose it. Isn't it good to enjoy the happy moment at the moment?

However, just like what Bai Ye once said to her.

When necessary, she will take the initiative to explain things clearly.

"Xiaobai-kun, I want to eat beef tongue."

"it is good."

Bai Ye put two slices of beef tongue into the oven.

"Kato-san, I'll help you with the grilling, and you just look at me with admiration."

Puff-!

Kato Megumi couldn't help laughing, her eyes narrowed into charming crescents.

"Is this the treatment for a heroine? Then I want tenderloin."

"Okay!"

Bai Ye put two pieces of pork tenderloin into the oven.

"Senior, I want short ribs, ribs, pork tongue, pork neck, and pork belly. Remember to sprinkle them with cumin and black pepper, and dip them in cheese. That's all for now."

"How can I repair it if there's no more room in the furnace?!"
