Chapter 35: Color 1 is very angry
"What did you say, senpai? A date... is boring?" Iroha Isshiki stared at Natsumi in disbelief.
"Yeah, what's the point of going on a date?" Xia Sheng retorted.
"Dating is definitely fun, especially with such a lovely girl like me, enjoying delicious food, watching movies, singing karaoke... how fun!"
Iroha Isshiki listed the fun activities for their date, piquing Natsuo's interest.
But Xia Sheng remained unmoved: "Isn't this just a waste of time?"
"Senior!"
Iroha glared at him angrily: "You're such a straight man! You definitely don't have any female friends!"
"You're wrong, I do have a few female friends."
"They must have been fooled by you! What woman would want to talk to you like that!"
"They're all cuter than you!"
"Hmph! I don't believe it. Senpai, you're not making up friends out of thin air, are you?" Iroha Isshiki crossed her arms, looking suspicious.
"You'll know whether I'm lying or not once you enroll in school."
"I don't believe it anyway."
"Is that so... But after all you've said, you actually want to go on a date with me, right?" Xia Sheng looked at her with a grin.
"What?! No way! Senior, don't talk nonsense, I just..."
Iroha Isshiki blushed and hurriedly explained, but Natsumi interrupted her before she could finish.
"I'm sorry, you're too young. It's too early to start dating. Besides, we don't know each other well enough yet. It's really inappropriate to start dating right now. Let's wait until we get to know each other better."
"..." Isshiki Iroha stared blankly at Natsumi with her cherry blossom-colored mouth agape, her eyes somewhat vacant.
"Why are you stunned? Do you think what I said makes sense?" Natsumi asked, waving his hand in front of Iroha Isshiki, looking completely innocent.
"You're right, my foot!" Iroha Isshiki couldn't help but swear, and slapped Natsuo's hand away.
She had heard Xia Sheng say this twice before, and this time it made her even angrier for some reason.
It's like she's pursuing him!
She glanced around in embarrassment, thankfully no one was paying attention, otherwise they would definitely have mistakenly thought she had been rejected.
The senior student is so awful!
How could she possibly tolerate this?
"Girls shouldn't be so rude..." Xia Sheng said, rubbing the back of his hand.
She hit him quite hard; it seems she was provoked.
That's understandable, though; Xia Sheng knows how hurtful those words can be.
If you don't want to be a victim, then you can only become a perpetrator.
"Stop talking nonsense! Just come with me!"
Iroha Isshiki didn't want to hear any more from Natsume, so she grabbed his wrist and they set off.
"Wait, where are you going?" Xia Sheng asked, passively following her.
"Shut up, senior!"
"Isshiki, were you always this fierce?"
"It's all because of you, senior."
"How could I have forced you? Do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
"Senior, you're not allowed to speak! Just follow me!"
"That's no problem, but could you please stop holding my hand? People might misunderstand."
"I don't care!"
"Then I have only one request: could we not go over there, and instead go to another place?"
"Why?" Isshiki Iroha stopped and turned around to ask.
She was still fuming, her beautiful brows furrowed.
"It's too dangerous over there, please!" Xia Sheng pleaded, holding one hand up in front of him.
That direction is towards the city center. Xia Sheng was still not entirely at ease, thinking it was better to be safe than sorry.
"Did you do something bad, senior? Or are you afraid of running into someone? Your ex-girlfriend?" Iroha Isshiki stared intently into his eyes.
"What ex-girlfriend did I have? Didn't I say I've never been in a relationship?" Xia Sheng looked her in the eye, completely open and honest.
"Is that so... Okay then, let's change direction." Iroha Isshiki nodded, pulled the frightened girl along, and continued on their way in a different direction.
This time, Xia Sheng didn't say a word.
Isshiki Iroha's hands were quite slender and delicate, and her back view was also very beautiful, especially her long, flowing brown hair, which was light and swaying, captivating the eye.
Her silhouette alone was enough to draw attention.
This is also related to her youth and vitality; she is energetic and vibrant, touching people's hearts with a sense of beauty.
Natsumi followed Isshiki Iroha to the shopping street near her house, which was quite lively.
"What are we doing here? Looking for Auntie?" Xia Sheng asked curiously.
"No, Mom is at the market."
"Should we go over there?"
"I'm not going, senior can just come with me." Isshiki Iroha said firmly without turning her head.
"Who exactly is the senior...?"
"It's all because you made me angry, senior. You need to make it up to me!"
"compensate?"
"That's right, treat me to something to eat!"
"You're being way too unreasonable!" Xia Sheng complained.
"Anyway, it's what a senior should do. I've finished my exams, shouldn't he celebrate with me?"
"That's true... but we've eaten too much, what about dinner?"
"Don't worry, it's still early, and we can share it."
"...Could it be that you planned this all along?" Xia Sheng realized.
"Hmph~"
Natsumi was thus led by Iroha Isshiki to a takoyaki shop.
"Great, there are no customers yet."
Iroha Isshiki released Natsuo and went to the window: "Grandma Onodera, give me a serving of takoyaki!"
"Oh my, isn't this Iroha? What brings you here so early?"
"Hehe, today was the entrance exam, and I've already finished it," Isshiki Iroha replied smugly.
"Really? You seem very confident."
"Of course!"
"Then I'll give you two more as an early congratulation."
"Thank you, Grandma~ Senior, come and pay!" Iroha Isshiki called out to Natsumi with a polarized attitude.
Xia Sheng went to the window and glanced inside. There was only an old woman inside, and she didn't look familiar.
He thought he had run into someone he knew again.
He still remembered the surname Onodera quite well.
"Young man... could you be Iroha, your boyfriend?" Grandma Onodera asked jokingly when she saw Natsuo.
"No, no, he's just my senior." Iroha Isshiki quickly waved her hand, embarrassed, to deny it.
"Oh~ senior, hello senior." Grandma Onodera's smile remained unchanged.
"Grandma!" Isshiki Iroha said coquettishly.
"Hehe~ young man, you must treat Iroha well." Grandma Onodera said to Natsuo.
"Okay," Xia Sheng nodded in response.
"Senior!" Iroha Isshiki said coquettishly to Natsuo again, and even patted his shoulder.
Xia Sheng didn't take it seriously. He paid, gestured to the old lady, and left with the takoyaki.
Goodbye, Grandma!
Iroha Isshiki quickly followed Natsumi.
"Senior, you're not allowed to steal any food."
"Can't I eat what I bought?"
"You treated me to this!" Isshiki Iroha snatched it away without any politeness.
"We agreed to eat together." Xia Sheng didn't try to take it back.
"Hmph~"
Iroha Isshiki gave a soft snort, ignored him, picked up a wooden stick, stuck a small dumpling on it, blew on it a few times, and then put it in her mouth.
"It's so hot—wow—it's delicious—"
"Slow down, no one's going to take it from you." Xia Sheng shook his head with amusement.
"It tastes best when it's hot... Senior, you should have one too."
"Let me try it." Xia Sheng picked up another wooden skewer and swallowed it in one gulp, just like the other person did.
The old lady didn't understand, so she gave them two wooden sticks.
"Phew—that's really delicious..."
"Right? Let's go, we'll eat as we walk, and then head to the next place." Isshiki Iroha was in high spirits.
"How much do you plan to eat?"
"Don't worry, I won't let you spend any money... By the way, why did you agree so readily?" Isshiki Iroha asked in a low voice.
"What do you mean, 'agree'? Hmph~" Xia Sheng blew on another small dumpling to cool it down.
I must say, this stuff is actually pretty delicious.
"It's... the one Grandma Onodera was talking about..."
"Oh, is there a problem? You'll be my junior soon, isn't it only right that I take care of you?" Xia Li replied matter-of-factly.
"..." Isshiki Iroha fell silent, staring at him expressionlessly.
"What's wrong?" Xia Sheng paused in his takoyaki.
"As expected, I guess I'll have to let my senior pay." Iroha Isshiki said casually, quickening her pace.
"..."
