"Your oolong tea, please enjoy it slowly."
Bai Shi picked up the straw and gently stirred the tea in the cup. A slightly bitter but familiar taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue, which was no different from the bottled oolong tea on the supermarket shelves. He secretly calculated in his heart that the market price of a two-liter bottle of oolong tea was only 200 yen. If he wanted to drink back the "cost" of 1,200 yen in two hours, he would theoretically need to drink a full 12 liters of tea, which was undoubtedly an impossible task.
Just as Bai Shi was immersed in his thoughts, a gentle voice interrupted his thinking.
"Excuse me, is there anyone sitting here?"
He looked up and saw a female student in a long dress and a military-style jacket standing in front of him. She had a bow-shaped belt around her waist and her bright long hair was casually tied into a half-bun, which was both fashionable and playful. There was a teardrop mole under her left eye, which added a unique charm to her.
However, her expression seemed a little confused and hesitant.
"Actually..." Shiraishi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "This location may not be very convenient."
After hearing this, the female student did not leave immediately, but stared at Shiraishi silently for a while, as if to confirm the truth of his words. After a few seconds, she finally asked, "Why?"
Shiraishi pointed to the table behind her, where her friends and several boys were sitting, and they were busy exchanging contact information. "I feel like they may want to join our conversation, and I don't like that kind of occasion."
The female student seemed to understand Shiraishi's concerns and nodded gently, but then showed a hint of embarrassment. "But if we reject them directly, it may make the atmosphere very awkward..."
"Then you can find an excuse." Shiraishi suggested.
The female student sighed softly, as if she had made up her mind. "Actually... I don't have a smartphone."
This sentence made Shiraishi slightly stunned. In this era where almost everyone has a smartphone, there are still people who don't have a smartphone? He couldn't help but ask curiously: "How do you usually live?"
The female student smiled slightly, with a hint of indifference in her eyes. "Not having a mobile phone doesn't mean you can't live. People are not creatures that will die without a mobile phone."
Shiraishi nodded in agreement. He raised his glass and gently touched the glass in the female student's hand. "In this case, let's toast to this unique freedom!"
The two smiled at each other and took a sip of the oolong tea in their cups. Although the topic was a bit bland, they seemed to have found an inexplicable resonance and tacit understanding in this brief exchange.
"By the way, what's your name?" Shiraishi suddenly asked.
The female student was slightly stunned and then reported her name. "My name is Mido Miori."
"I'm Shiraishi." Shiraishi responded with a smile, "Nice to meet you." (ajbb)
ThisFor a moment, the hustle and bustle in the store seemed to have left them, leaving only two cups of oolong tea and two hearts warmed by the chance encounter.
Bai Shi sighed softly and decided not to let the party continue to be immersed in those insignificant gossips. He wanted to add a touch of truth to this encounter.
He adjusted his sitting posture, turned his eyes gently to the girl opposite, and said in a sincere and slightly humorous tone:
"I am Bai Shi, a freshman in the junior high school department. Don't you think the topics those people deliberately talked about are a bit too fake and empty?"
Hearing this, she raised a playful smile at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes flashed with curiosity, as if she was moved by Bai Shi's sudden sincerity. "Indeed, empty topics are like the shell of this edamame. There is nothing substantial inside after peeling it." She picked up another edamame while speaking, but this time she didn't put it directly into her mouth. Instead, she gently touched her wine glass with it, making a crisp sound. "However, your self-introduction is quite interesting, refreshing and not boring."
Shiraishi was amused by her words, and the atmosphere became relaxed inadvertently. He looked around, and the classmates who were immersed in laughter and noise seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier, while he and Miori were in a small world that belonged only to the two of them. "Although this place is designed as a gathering place, everyone seems to be spinning in their own small circle. I noticed that except for our table, everyone else has been immersed in each other's world."
Miori nodded, and a trace of resonance flashed in her eyes. "Yes, sometimes, the loneliness in a crowd is stronger than when you are alone. However, meeting you here is also a kind of fate."
A warm current surged in Bai Shi's heart. He didn't expect that his simple words could trigger such a deep resonance. He continued: "Today was originally the last day of September, and they insisted on having a dinner party. It was lively and lively, but they couldn't resist. But after sitting down and drinking a few glasses, I'm afraid many people's intentions have changed.".
