At about 7 o'clock in the evening, a certain blonde lady was sent home in a black limousine and made it to dinner smoothly.
So such a scene appeared in the luxuriously decorated Dinng Hall (restaurant).
"What did you say your parents didn't come back??"
"What do you mean your girlfriend isn't coming??"
"Is this what I asked first?"
"Is this what I asked first?"
"Then you say it first."
"Then you say it first."
On a typical long Western dining table, two voices, one high and one low, filled with surprise, sounded in the room at the same time.
I saw a black-haired boy and a blonde girl sitting across the table from each other, staring at each other with big eyes.
After a long silence.
Yinglili was the first to speak: "Hey! What are you saying that you are surprised here? Haven't I already talked about this before?"
Kato Yusuke frowned: "What did you say?"
"Of course it's the business of mom and dad! Otherwise, what else could there be?"
"No, you only mentioned that they agreed to stay overnight, but you didn't mention anything about their not coming back."
"There is nothing we can do. My father and mother have accompanied the ambassador back to England. They seem to be having a dinner with His Highness from some country."
The girl who stuck a French fries with the fork at hand complained: "Really, my daughter is obviously in so much pain due to the deadline, they are so leisurely!"
That delicate and flawless little face was mixed with grievance and dissatisfaction at the same time, as if she really agreed with her words. She kept nodding her head while speaking, without feeling that there was any problem in it.
And this also made Kato Yusuke finally realize the purpose of his trip, which was basically to help a child who had not completed his "summer homework" with his homework.
Looking at the girl opposite who was eating fish and chips with an unhappy face, as if she was taking this opportunity to vent her anger, he couldn't help but feel speechless. For a while, even the crispy and golden cod in front of him was indifferent to him.
Lost its charm.
"Ambassador", "His Royal Highness", "dinner party",
"Book", "Deadline", "Deadline".
Many words keep lingering in my mind.
No matter which aspect you look at, there is no comparability between the two in terms of importance.
But the girl could so seriously compare the two ends of the scale and draw a conclusion that favors her side without hesitation. This situation made Kato Yusuke not know what to say.
Thinking of this, the original desire to refute the other party in his heart became much lighter, so he inserted a piece of fried cod into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
As it looked on the surface, the outer layer of the cod was fried to a crispy texture, and the fish inside was extremely tender. It even felt a little hot to the mouth when eating it, so he had to inhale air to neutralize the temperature.
, so a few wisps of Bai Lian quietly flowed out from his mouth.
Although I am not very fond of this British tradition... or a single food, it is the same as the saying that cheese is power. In addition to the advantage of being easy to fill up, high-calorie food itself can also make people feel better.
to happiness.
In addition, even though he is as clumsy as he is, under Sayu's long-term care, he is gradually able to distinguish the difference between the ingredients. And the cod in his mouth is obviously that kind of high-end stuff, no matter how hard he cooks it, he can't tell the difference.
It may taste unpalatable, but he is quite satisfied with it.
Then he swallowed his words and said, "Even so, I really don't remember you ever talking about your parents on the phone."
What she got in return was Yinglili's contemptuous look: "Although it's not direct, I have said it before, but you just didn't realize it."
"Have you told me?"
Kato Yusuke repeated this word and began to recall it slowly in his mind.
Combined with what the other person said, a conversation can easily come to mind.
"But is it okay with your parents? Will it cause trouble to them?"
"Well, that's no problem. It's better to say they don't care about this kind of thing at all!"
The resentment in the words seemed to still vaguely echo in his ears, but he didn't ask any more questions at the time.
Thinking of this, a pair of sharp eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly, and then he said to the girl: "No, it should be said that your way of talking like talking in riddles is problematic in itself, and it is really not suitable for you."
"Huh, how rude."
Ying Lili glared at him, then twirled the fork in her hand and said, "I'm basically free to say whatever I want, right? And you haven't asked yourself clearly yet!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and cut the cod steak on his plate, and asked: "So, what's going on with your girlfriend?"
Kato Yusuke nodded and simply replied: "She was called to a friend's house, so she won't come."
"Hey...that's it."
The girl responded in a calm tone, silently eating the cod cut into small pieces, feeling an inexplicable feeling in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
Instead, he said in a seemingly superior manner: "Then, what do you decide to do now? If you want to go back, just go back. No one here will stop you anyway."
As he said this, those blue eyes secretly looked at him who was deep in thought.
The room fell silent for an instant. Even the sound of knives and forks scraping against the dinner plates stopped. Only the ancient pendulum kept making slow "ta, da" sounds.
After a long time like this, Kato Yusuke suddenly said: "Forget it, we're here anyway... Let's finish your matter as soon as possible."
"Hmph...that's up to you."
Yingli nodded vaguely, and the sound of knives and forks being touched sounded again on the table, which sounded a little soft.
With a gentle knock on the door, the maid from before also walked in with a dining cart, and placed cream of mushroom soup in deep bowls in front of the two of them, with an additional serving.
Golden bread cut into evenly shaped pieces.
"Are you satisfied with tonight's dishes? Madam," said the maid who bowed.
The girl shook her head and said: "There is nothing dissatisfied. Besides, you don't know that I don't care about this at all, Sophia."
Then he added: "Thank you for helping me prepare dinner."
It was only then that Yusuke Kato knew the name of the maid, and it happened that the other party also looked over at this time.
"I wonder what you think? Mr. Kato."
Faced with the inquiry, as a guest, he naturally had no objection and responded politely: "Well, it's delicious. Thank you for the treat."
"I understand, then I'll take my leave first." The girl named Sophia bowed and then pushed the dining cart out of the room.
So the two of them continued to have dinner.
While drinking the extremely smooth and milky soup, Kato Yusuke asked Eiri: "So, although I can roughly think of what I need to do next, you still have to tell me in detail.
What kind of problem did you encounter, Yinglili?"
The girl did not answer this, but frowned slightly and looked at him and said, "I will tell you this kind of thing even if you don't tell me, but before that, do you want to take a shower first?"
