Chapter 103 She Must Have a Crush on Me
April 17th, Friday lunch time.
Two days have passed since the sports meet, and the aftermath of the red camp’s victory is still lingering on the campus.
All the classes in the red camp, including Shimizu's class, were delighted by this victory. These classes could apply for more operating funds in the subsequent cultural festival activities, which made everyone look forward to the next activities even more.
The student cafeteria is still bustling with people at this time.
Shimizu Miki, Ishikawa Shinichi and Kiri Kento were dining around a table for four in the corner of the restaurant.
However, unlike in the past, the outgoing and friendly Ji Lixianren, who always talked to everyone he met, was unusually quiet today.
He sat there, looking melancholy and solemn, completely different from his usual self.
"What's wrong with you today?"
Shinichi Ishikawa noticed the abnormality of Kento Kiri and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm going to tell you a secret." Gillian looked around, covered his mouth with his hands, and said softly, "In fact, it seems that a girl has been following me and spying on me in the past few days. Do you think she could be..."
"Pfft!"
Before Kento Yoshiri could finish his words, Shinichi Ishikawa couldn't help laughing.
"Is this true? Who is so ignorant?"
When Kento Kiri heard this, he immediately became unhappy. He glared at Shinichi Ishikawa and retorted:
"What are you talking about? You can't stand seeing your brother doing well, right? Besides, she is a great beauty."
"It's not that we don't trust you, it's that we all want to broaden our horizons."
Gilly was obviously not convinced by this and continued:
"That's the one, the most beautiful girl in our school."
"The most beautiful girl? Amamiya from our class?"
"No, no, no, I'm talking about the girl in the first grade, the one who was chosen as the school beauty in the last voting event. I even asked several classmates to vote for her together."
First-year school beauty...
Shimizu Ken, who was standing by, heard this and wondered if that must be his sister, Shimizu Reina?
"Oh, I know that girl, but would she follow you? And peek at you?"
Shinichi Ishikawa couldn't help but laugh. He really couldn't imagine that a girl like Rena Shimizu would be interested in Kento Kiri.
But seeing that Jiri Kento looked serious, he didn't want to attack him directly.
It’s not that Kento Kiri is not good-looking, but if the other person is a girl of Shimizu Reina’s level, then it can only be said that it is - fantasy time!
After hearing what Ishikawa Shinichi said, Kiri Kento was obviously a little unconvinced. After being silent for a while, he muttered softly:
"Hey, look, she's here again today."
As he spoke, Gillian pretended to be nonchalant and shoveled the food from the plate into his mouth, but his eyes would occasionally glance in a certain direction.
Qing Shuijian glanced over there and saw a face with red cheeks and eyes that kept glancing over here.
The one standing not far away obediently, holding a tray of food, was none other than Rena Shimizu.
She has long, smooth peach-colored hair, a small face, and a quiet and well-behaved look. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her.
This is actually not the first time.
In the past two days alone, Shimizu Ken had spotted Shimizu Reina sneaking to the outside of his classroom during recess and sticking her head out to peek inside several times.
"Oh my god, she's really looking this way."
Ishikawa Shinichi looked at the secretly complacent Kiri Kento in disbelief.
At this time, the friend next to Shimizu Reina smiled and gently pushed her from behind. Shimizu remembered that the girl seemed to be called Yuiko.
There was a hint of mischief and teasing in Yuiko's smile, as if she was encouraging Shimizu Reina to walk over.
It wouldn't be good to let Shimizu Reina continue standing there, so Shimizu Ken waved at her.
"Come and eat together."
Seeing Shimizumi's wave, Shimizu Reina immediately trotted over happily and sat down gently next to Shimizumi.
"what?!"
Seeing this scene, the expression on Jiri Xianren's face suddenly became very interesting.
He had never expected that Shimizu Reina would actually come over and sit next to Shimizu Ken with a shy look on her face. Ishikawa Shinichi, who was sitting opposite to Yoshiri Kento, had an expression of watching a good show.
"What's wrong with you?"
Shimizu looked at the distressed Kiri Kento beside him with some confusion.
Ji Lixian was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly: "No, it's okay, remember to call me when you play poker next time."
After saying that, he left the restaurant with his plate, which he hadn't even taken a bite of yet. Soon after, Ishikawa Shinichi also left the restaurant.
So, the original combination became the rare combination of Shimizu Mi, Shimizu Reina and Yuiko.
"What's wrong, don't you want to eat?"
Although he sat down next to her, Shimizu noticed that the food on Shimizu Reina's plate was almost untouched, and asked curiously.
At the same time, he also glanced at the food on Reina Shimizu's plate.
Hijiki beans stew, potato salad, topped with a few cherry tomatoes…
All vegetarian dishes.
Could it be that my sister was born in the Year of the Rabbit and only loves to eat vegetarian food?
Qingshuijian knew almost nothing about his sister. Maybe she just liked to eat vegetarian food. After all, she looked like a well-behaved little white rabbit.
But even if it is a vegetarian dish, the portion is too small.
It's not French food.
"That's all you're eating?"
Shimizu confirmed again.
"Um……"
Shimizu Reina nodded slightly.
"Are you full?"
Shimizu Reina didn't answer right away, but looked like she was troubled by something.
Seeing this, Qing Shuijian continued to ask: "Don't you like eating?"
Shimizu Reina shook her head.
"no appetite?"
“Hmm…”
Shimizu Reina frowned and thought seriously.
After worrying for about ten seconds...
"I've gained some weight recently."
Shimizu Reina lowered her eyelids slightly, her cheeks flushed with shame, and confessed in a serious tone.
fat?
Among the many words that can be used to describe this girl, this is probably the least appropriate, and there is almost no match.
Yuiko, who was sitting opposite, smiled and explained: "Senior Shimizu, you don't understand, this is a little worry shared by all girls."
Is this what a girl’s troubles are?
Although Qing Shuijian didn't quite understand, he nodded thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, you are actually thin, you should even be a little fatter."
Shimizu Reina is smaller than most girls, with slender limbs like willows, so she doesn't need to worry about weight. "But they will grow to the buttocks, and other places..."
After hearing what she said, Shimizu Mi discovered that although Shimizu Rena's chest was as green as a girl's, her hips were indeed quite substantial.
In fact, Qingshui Jian discovered this the last time she foolishly crawled under the podium.
I always feel that rather than saying that Reina Shimizu is controlling her diet in order to gain weight, it would be better to say that she is concerned about the growth rate of certain parts of her body.
But, I heard that massage can make you bigger?
When it comes to diet, Amamiya Iori doesn't really have a problem with dieting.
She makes her own lunch boxes almost every day, pays attention to balanced nutrition, and also regularly exercises.
Perhaps this is why there is that enviable perfect figure of thin branches bearing abundant fruits.
Although boys won't like a girl just because of the size of her breasts.
"You can't leave until you finish eating."
Shimizu Mi picked up a piece of chicken and put it on Shimizu Reina's plate, and tried to speak in a somewhat tough tone.
This was his first time being a brother, and he didn’t know if this was appropriate.
Reina Shimizu looked at the chicken nuggets on the plate and a distressed expression appeared on her face.
At this time, Qing Shuijian realized belatedly that he had just used his own chopsticks to pick up food for her.
"Sorry, you better pick up another piece yourself."
Shimizu looked a little embarrassed and pushed the plate over, but all he heard was Shimizu Reina saying weakly:
"Brother...feed me."
"..."
Qing Shuijian was stunned.
This is what she was worried about just now? !
Also, is this considered acting like a spoiled child?
Because they are only one year apart in age, they are considered to be of the same age, so the way Shimizu Reina acts coquettishly seems a little strange to Shimizu Mi, with a different kind of cuteness.
But then again, Shimizu had never fed a girl before.
If it was Amamiya Iori, she would probably feed him instead.
But perhaps because of this, Shimizu Mi thought it would be nice to try it once in a while, so he extended his hand to Shimizu Reina.
"Then give me your chopsticks."
However, Shimizu Reina shook her head and said faintly, "Just use my brother's..."
"..."
Why use mine?
Will mine be better?
But looking at Rena Shimizu's eyes that were sparkling with expectation and shyness, Shimizu did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he carefully picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and brought it to Rena Shimizu's mouth.
There was a faint blush on Reina Shimizu's cheeks. She opened her mouth slightly and gently bit the chicken nugget.
Looking at that satisfied expression, Qing Shuijian felt a warm feeling he had never felt before.
Could it be that this is what it feels like to be a brother...
Qing Shuijian was savoring this unprecedented wonderful feeling, but suddenly heard such a voice in his ears -
"Brother, try mine..."
When Shimizu turned around, Shimizu Reina had already picked up a small red tomato from her plate and handed it to him.
Qingshuijian didn't know what variety of tomato this was, but it was bright and attractive, and only slightly larger than the nail of his thumb.
But in fact, he doesn't like to eat vegetarian food very much. He can accept fruits, but vegetables, especially the bitter green peppers unique to Japan, are a torture for him.
However, he didn't want to reject his sister's good intentions, especially now that they had just met and their relationship still needed to be built. He didn't want to make his sister feel disappointed because of such a small matter.
When thinking about this, Shimizu Reina's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly shook, and the small tomato that was originally picked up fell onto the hem of her blue and white plaid skirt, probably between her thighs...
"what……"
Reina Shimizu let out a soft cry and her face turned red with embarrassment because of her momentary mistake.
Am I stupid? The food I was giving to my brother actually fell on my thigh.
So silly, so silly, so silly...
Reina Shimizu tried to pick up the tomato in a panic, but felt it was too embarrassing.
Seeing this, Qingshui naturally picked up the small tomato on the skirt and put it into her mouth.
"Ah, brother, even if it falls off..."
"It's okay, it's less than three seconds, you can still eat."
Put it in your mouth and take a gentle bite, the sweet juice instantly spreads in your mouth, bringing a refreshing taste.
The taste is unexpectedly good, and it has a subtle fragrance that is not usually there.
But Shimizu Reina looked a little embarrassed. She looked at Shimizu Ken chewing the tomato that fell on her skirt, and her cheeks suddenly became redder. She turned her head away as if she was too embarrassed to face him, leaving Shimizu Ken with a profile that was even more flushed than the tomato.
In fact, Qingshui Jian had wanted to ask for a long time whether his sister was too sensitive and why she blushed easily.
Before long, their lunch was finished.
Reina Shimizu, who had been intentionally reducing her food intake because she wanted to go on a diet, now seemed to regret not eating more so that she could spend more time with her brother.
Qing Shuijian naturally also noticed these little thoughts in her heart.
"If it's convenient for you, you can come to see me at noon in the future."
"really?"
When Rena Shimizu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Well, just don't let it fall on your skirt next time."
"Um...I, I understand."
Shimizu Reina lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and spoke in a low voice.
It was almost time for lunch break. Qingshuijian tidied up the table a little and prepared to leave the cafeteria.
At this time, seniors from the third year of high school poured into the restaurant.
There are many students at Haichuan Yucheng College, so in order to avoid crowding in the cafeteria, the school has staggered the lunch breaks for different grades and classes.
For example, the first-year high school students eat first, and after waiting for ten to twenty minutes, it is the turn of the second-year high school students to enter the restaurant to eat.
This can effectively avoid the problem of insufficient seats and congestion in the restaurant.
When leaving the student cafeteria, Shimizu accidentally caught a glimpse of Sakurai Haruka queuing at window number two. Her short golden hair and tall figure made her very conspicuous in the crowd.
Qingshuijian remembered that the school's No. 2 window was a free window and was usually not open.
Only occasionally will there be activities like free tasting of new products in order to test new dishes. If these new dishes receive a good response from students, they will be put on the official menu for long-term sale.
Today's new dish seems to be soba noodle soup with French fries.
Shimizu remembered that Sakurai Haruka didn't like eating pasta very much because it contained too high a carbohydrate content.
Then he remembered that during the previous sports meet, Sakurai Haruka had received four bento boxes at once, and the dishes in them were almost all her dislikes.
Under what circumstances would a person eat something they don't like?
