The sudden sound of a heavy object falling to the ground made Bai Shijing and Kobayashi Hui stunned for a moment.
Turning his head, Izumi fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and twitching. His face was pale and he was sweating profusely.
Bai Shijing hurriedly ran to him.
"Izumi! Izumi! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Something happened suddenly, and she was so anxious that her eyes were red.
Megumi Kobayashi reacted a few beats too late before running over to help help Izumi Toru up.
"Xiao Jing, I'm going to call an ambulance right now, don't worry."
"Wait! No need!"
Izumi Toru grabbed her hand.
Seeing his frown but still holding on, Xiao Linhui said angrily: "It's already like this and you still say no, how can you be so brave?!"
"I, I'm hungry..."
Izumi Toru struggled to say these words.
"Ah?!"x2
[Special mission: Stupid Bird Qinfei (Phase 3) has been completed! Completion level 120%, reward, kendo talent A.]
[Your physical fitness has increased significantly. (You will experience some physical discomfort when the rewards are distributed, please replenish nutrients in time.)]
】
[During the special mission, Amakusa Mei triggered a special mode, and her learning ability was greatly and permanently improved. 】
Judging from Amakusa Mei's results, Izumi Toru seemed to be able to guess that the degree of completion might be very high this time.
However, it can actually exceed 100%...
Moreover, the hunger felt in the first two times was far less intense than this time.
My stomach twitches and I feel like I'm going to starve to death...
Although she didn't know whether what Izumi Toru said was true or not, Shiraishi Jing hurriedly took out a bunch of snacks from the desk drawer and threw them in front of Izumi Toru.
"Eat, eat quickly!"
"Idiot Xiaojing, tear it apart——"
Megumi Kobayashi looked at her anxious friend who was overwhelmed, tore open the package of snacks, supported Toru Izumi, and stuffed the snacks into his mouth.
"Open your mouth, ah——"
Izumi Tetsu's attention was immediately attracted by the inexplicable fragrance of the snack in her hand.
"Aww!"
He took a bite of the snack, chewed it twice, and then swallowed it. However, instead of relieving his hunger, it made Izumi Toru feel even hungrier.
He even wants to eat everything in sight...
Seeing how impatient he was, Xiaolin Hui and Bai Shijing confirmed: he was indeed hungry.
As for what happened to Izumi Toru to become like this, they have no time to think about it now.
Watching Izumi Tetsu's brows gradually relax under the support of his friends, Bai Shijing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What happened to Quan Te suddenly just now really scared her to death.
It’s great to have recovered now…
However, she realized that something was wrong.
Why are you still feeding Xiaohui? Isn’t Izumi able to eat by himself?
"Um, Teacher Xiaolin..."
"Open your mouth, ah -" Megumi Kobayashi put the dried meat to Izumi Tetsu's lips with an excited smile on her face.
It feels as interesting as feeding small animals...
"Aww!"
"ah!"
Kobayashi Hui exclaimed and hurriedly put her hands behind her back.
"You, are you a puppy?! Why are you biting!"
"Sorry, sorry... I'll do it myself... Thank you for your hard work." Izumi Toru sat up from her lap.
"oh……"
Only then did Xiaolin Hui realize that her behavior seemed a bit...
Raising her head, Bai Shijing was looking at her curiously, which made her panic.
"Xiao, Xiaojing... why are you looking at me like this?"
Bai Shijing shook his head, "Nothing..."
Then, she looked at Izumi Toru and asked: "Izumi, how are you, are you okay?"
"I feel like I can't get enough of the snacks. I'll treat you to a barbecue. Let's go!"
Izumi Toru stood up.
Although snacks were useless, Izumi Tetsu couldn't stop eating them.
"Oh," Bai Shijing stood beside him and looked at Xiaolin Hui, "Let's go."
"Sorry, um, I, I still have something to do...you guys go ahead."
"Let's go!" Bai Shijing ran over and grabbed her arm, not allowing her to resist at all.
"Xiaojing, I, I really have something to deal with..."
“Am I more important or are things more important?”
Unexpectedly, Bai Shijing would use this method, and Xiaolin Hui could no longer escape.
"...You, you are important..."
Bai Shijing showed a proud smile, "Let's go!"
The three of them came to the barbecue restaurant, and after Izumi Toru ordered the meal, he suddenly reacted.
"Sister, I have no money!"
Bai Shijing rolled her eyes at him.
"Don't I have all the money?"
"So, you're in for a treat?"
"if not?"
Xiaolin Hui's expression moved slightly as she listened to the conversation between the two.
Have the money been put together?
I haven't graduated yet.
He clearly said there was no rush...
Tsk tsk!
Sensing his friend's teasing gaze, Bai Shijing's face turned red.
"Let's go!" In order to prevent Xiaolin Hui from saying anything embarrassing, Bai Shijing grabbed her arm and entered the door.
Smelling the aroma coming from the barbecue restaurant, Izumi Toru swallowed.
Today, you are not allowed to eat or drink?
In fact, no matter how much you eat, it will not take off. Izumi Toru proved this with actual tests.
However, Kobayashi Megumi's stunned look made him a little funny.
"Why, Teacher Xiaolin, have you never seen anyone with a big appetite?"
"This is no longer a matter of appetite, Xiaojing, I feel that you can't afford it... you will be poor..." Xiao Lin Hui murmured.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, there is Xiaohui..." Bai Shijing said with a smile.
"Oh, that's right, I will help you? Eh?! Eh!!!" After subconsciously agreeing, Xiaolin Hui discovered something was wrong. She looked at her friend and asked nervously: "What, why do you have me...
…You raise it yourself!”
"I mean I asked you to borrow money, where did you think you were going?" Bai Shijing asked innocently.
"Oh, yes, that's it..."
"Otherwise, what do you think it is?"
"I think so too……"
Saying that, Xiaolin Hui looked away guiltily, and then took a deep sip of the drink.
"I always feel a little strange, forget it, I'll ask you later... Izumi, do you still want to eat?"
"I'm full." Izumi Toru patted his belly and smiled.
"That's good..." Bai Shijing nodded first, then hesitated, "...that...Izumi?"
Seeing her hesitating like this, Izumi Toru asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?"
As if she had made up her mind, she pounded the table hard, "...I, I will work hard, don't starve yourself anymore, just eat whatever you want! If the money is not enough, then I will go to the shrine
Temple!”
Izumi Tetsu was stunned for a moment.
Then, he smiled.
"It's just that today's situation is special. I usually don't eat much, so don't worry, I won't be starved."
"Really?" Bai Shijing was still a little worried.
"Of course, trust me!"
"Um."
At this time, Izumi Toru's phone rang.
[Caller: Asazuki Hongyin]
Izumi Toru stood up immediately.
"Sister, Teacher Xiaolin, I have something to do and I have to leave first."
Bai Shijing immediately stood up.
"Um, Izumi..."
"Um?"
"..." After a long silence, Bai Shijing said: "See you after the New Year..."
The reluctance in her eyes made Izumi Teru's heart beat heavily.
He pursed his lips.
"I am leaving."
"Um."
After Izumi Toru left, Kobayashi Megumi asked her doubts.
"Xiaojing, why don't we meet after the New Year?"
Shiraishi Jing explained to her the problem of Izumi Toru being arranged by the Igarashi family.
After listening, Kobayashi Megumi sighed: "Izumi also worked hard."
"yes……"
After this episode, the two women lost their appetite, so they paid and left the barbecue restaurant.
Kobayashi Megumi thought Bai Shijing would return to the rented apartment to pack her things, but she went in the completely opposite direction.
"Xiao Jing, where are we going?"
"Go to Izumi's house."
"Oh...I forgot to tell Izumi something...wait! The Izumi family?!"
Bai Shijing nodded and took out the key from his bag.
"Yes, the Izumi family."
Looking at the brand new key in her hand, the smart Xiaolin Hui had already guessed something.
"You guys bought a house?"
"It's not you."
"Um?"
Bai Shijing put the key in her hand, "Do you remember? We agreed that we would be together forever... So, it's not [you], it's [us]..."
The cold key in the palm of his hand seemed to emit infinite light and heat, and Xiaolin Hui's mind went blank.
