Arriving at the apartment shared by Shiraishi Shizu and Kobayashi Megumi, Izumi Toru rang the doorbell.
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
After a while, the door opened.
Bai Shijing, who was looking slightly drunk, was a little surprised when he saw Izumi Toru: "Izumi, why are you here?"
Izumi Toru handed her the gift box in his hand.
"Happy birthday."
Bai Shijing was stunned.
At this time, Kobayashi Megumi poked her head out from behind Bai Shijing, looked at the gift box in Izumi Toru's hand, and raised her eyebrows.
"Ah, now it's really interesting."
Izumi Toru asked with some confusion: "What?"
"A certain woman, because no one remembered her birthday, was crying loudly just now. She said nothing but huh!"
Bai Shijing, whose face was even redder than before, covered Xiaolin Hui's mouth and shouted: "Don't say it! Don't say it!"
"Uh-huh!"
"teacher?"
Hearing Izumi Toru's voice, Bai Shijing turned his head suddenly.
"You didn't hear anything just now, right?"
Sensing the murderous intent, Izumi Toru nodded desperately.
"That's good. Humph!"
"Uh-huh!"
Glancing at Megumi Kobayashi, who was completely unable to resist, Izumi Toru cautiously reminded: "Um...can you let go of Teacher Kobayashi first...she seems to be almost unable to breathe..."
Bai Shijing was shocked and hurriedly let go of Xiao Lin Hui.
"Ah! Sorry! Xiaohui, are you okay?"
"Huh-ha-huh-huh-" After breathing for a while, Xiaolin Hui finally recovered, "I'm alive, I'm alive..."
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Bai Shijing lowered his head and whispered.
Kobayashi Megumi did not complain to her friend, but looked at Izumi Tetsu fiercely.
Izumi Toru was stunned by her gaze and took a step back involuntarily.
"What, what's wrong?"
"I remember it was you who persuaded Suo Jing to learn karate, right?"
Izumi turned his head guiltily, looked to the side, and whistled, pretending not to understand anything.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
At this time, Bai Shijing gently tugged on Xiaolin Hui's clothes.
"Xiao Hui, it's Taekwondo."
"Is there a difference?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Shijing became excited.
"That's right, the difference is huge! Let me tell you, Taekwondo's moves are so cool! Most of them are leg movements. Compared with karate, the opponent's skin will be damaged...less..."
The more Bai Shijing spoke, the lower her voice became, because Xiaolin Hui's eyes became more and more indifferent.
"You really think I'm interested! Xiaojing, you're a woman! Don't just use it to return to heaven and earth, or have a Buddha on your head..."
"That's a game move."×2
Izumi Toru and Shiraishi Shizu spoke at the same time.
"Huh? Is that so?" Xiaolin Hui asked in surprise.
"Hmm."×2
"Oh, that's because I made a mistake. I always saw Xiaojing using it on you, and thought Taekwondo was like that."
"When you beat him, wouldn't it be more handsome to shout out the name of the move?" Bai Shijing said proudly.
"Oh, that's true..." Nodding subconsciously, Xiaolin Hui realized that now was the time to reprimand her, "No! He's not handsome at all!"
"Eh-" Bai Shijing's mood suddenly dropped.
Izumi Toru couldn't bear it, so he quickly said: "Actually, he is super handsome!"
"Really?!"
"Uh-huh!"
"hey-hey……"
Seeing Bai Shijing being coaxed to be happy again, Xiao Lin Hui hesitated to speak.
Forget it, today is her birthday, let her be happy for a while.
However, if this continues, how will Xiaojing find a boyfriend...
Sighing inwardly, she asked: "Izumi, do you want to attend the banquet together?"
Izumi Toru shook his head: "If I were here, I wouldn't be able to let go of my drinking. It's enough for you to accompany the teacher."
After saying that, he stuffed the gift box into the stunned Bai Shijing's hand.
"Let's go."
As soon as he turned around, his hand was held by Bai Shijing.
Turning around to look, the woman was filled with tears and was about to cry.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?!"
"Don't leave... It's just me and Xiao Hui, there's no birthday atmosphere at all... Also, Xiao Hui, her singing is super, super ugly, at least sing me a birthday song..."
Shiraishi, who was not very clear-headed, complained loudly to Izumi Tetsu.
Xiao Linhui's face turned cold, she stretched out her hand and pinched Bai Shijing's red cheek and pulled it out hard.
"Okay! You insisted on letting me sing happy birthday to you, and now you dislike me! I'm going to lie, I'm going to lie!"
"Yes, sorry..."
Even though his cheek was painful from being pulled, Shiraishi Jing still didn't let go of Izumi Tetsu's wrist.
"Xiao Jing said so, stay and have a piece of cake." Kobayashi Megumi turned her head and said to Izumi Toru.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you."
Following the two people into the room, Izumi Tetsu couldn't help but sigh.
The entire living room was in a mess as if it had experienced a tornado, with various snack packages and food crumbs scattered on the floor.
But the table looks pretty clean.
Are you rolling on snacks?
Sensing Izumi Tetsu's strange gaze, Kobayashi Megumi's face turned red.
"This is all Xiaojing's fault..."
Bai Shijing rushed to the table, swept the half-eaten snacks to the floor, then placed the gift box on the table, rubbed her hands, and then opened the first gift box, her eyes immediately lit up.
The silver-white necklace has a crystal clear drop-shaped amethyst necklace, and a birthday card and appraisal certificate are placed next to it.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Bai Shijing raised the necklace and looked at it under the light of the living room for a while, then sighed: "This is a gift from Jinguji Temple. Sorry, it's too expensive, I can't accept it."
With that said, she put the necklace back.
Izumi Toru scratched his head, "Jinguji Temple said that if you don't accept it, you won't have any share of small cakes and the like..."
"Eh?!"
Bai Shijing suddenly stood stunned on the spot.
No cake?
There is no happiness without cake!
You can't live without happiness!
so……
She slowly raised her head, looked at her best friend, and said with a sad face: "Xiao Hui, I, I'm going to die!"
Kobayashi Hui covered her face, as if she could pretend that she didn't know her drunk and silly best friend.
"Xiaohui..."
Bai Shijing shouted pitifully again.
Unable to bear her tearful attack, Xiao Lin Hui quickly pointed to the gift on the table and said, "Isn't there another one? Open it and take a look."
"Yes! There is one more thing!"
Bai Shijing immediately put away her tears and looked at the next box with interest.
Kobayashi Megumi first breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Izumi Toru: "I'm really sorry for letting you see Xiaojing like this."
"Used to it."
"Um?"
Why did you comfort me instead?!
Kobayashi Hui looked at him doubtfully.
I saw him looking at Bai Shijing without blinking.
"Cute, isn't it?"
As if aware of Kobayashi Megumi's scrutinizing gaze, Izumi Toru turned his head and asked with a smile.
Xiao Linhui was startled for a moment, then nodded.
"Indeed, very cute."
At this moment, Bai Shi opened the gift box and stared at the contents in the box, speechless.
