v9 Chapter 5: Mingmei's invitation

"Sister Zuojiang, can you drop me off right here?"

"What's the matter, Mingmei? It's still some distance from your apartment!"

"It's nothing, I just saw someone I know, who doesn't seem to have an umbrella!"

"Then why don't we turn around and go back to pick up each other!"

"No, Sister Zuojiang! You've worked really hard today, so you should go back to rest early! It's not raining heavily anyway, so it won't take much time to walk back!"

"Alright then! Let's break up here, see you tomorrow, Ming Mei-chan!"

"See you tomorrow, Sister Zuojiang!"

The Toyota Alfa parked steadily in the parking area beside the road. After Akimi took the umbrella handed over by her agent Takashima Sae, she opened the car door and slowly opened the umbrella. Get out of the car.

At this moment, the fresh and moist air after the rain made Mingmei feel exceptionally good, as if a whole day's hard work was nothing.

After the Alpha put down Mingmei, it slowly drove towards the road ahead. Mingmei turned around and waved her hand in the direction of the car. Then she jumped up and looked at the direction Lin Xiuyi was in. Immediately afterwards, she habitually put on her mask and walked in the direction of Lin Xiuyi.

Lin Xiuyi originally planned to find a nearest izakaya to have a drink as soon as possible to warm up his body. But wait until it is found that the rain is not much. Lin Xiuyi was not in a hurry. I simply walked along the streets of Akasaka in the drizzle with my own mind.

"I really don't know what to eat when I come out alone? It stands to reason that the season is right now to eat soba noodles! But...it's raining today, so I should eat something to keep my body warm. And you can't drink too much wine, otherwise, it would be bad to pick up Reina with the smell of alcohol!"

Just when Lin Xiuyi was thinking about today's dinner, suddenly, he seemed to feel that the rain had stopped. Feeling a little strange, Lin Xiuyi immediately raised his head, only to realize that at some point, an umbrella suddenly stretched over his head to shield him from the rain!

"Ah, thank you so much for letting you cover me from the rain, I just realized it now!"

Lin Xiuyi, who was extremely grateful in his heart, hurriedly turned around and thanked the kind people behind him. But when he saw a girl wearing a mask standing behind him, he couldn't help asking in surprise:

"Miss Yuanneng Temple?"

The masked girl's eyes narrowed suddenly, and then she nodded suddenly. Immediately after, she handed the umbrella in her hand to Lin Xiuyi, and then jokingly said:

"Officer Lin, you look so pitiful now, it's like a puppy lost with its owner!"

"Oh, really, that's so rude, and you're so embarrassed to meet you!"

"No, I'm joking!"

"Hey, I know!"

Lin Xiu replied with a smile.

"Well, my house is over there. Your clothes are wet from the rain. It must be very uncomfortable! Why don't you come to my house and tidy up!"

"That's not good!"

When Lin Xiu heard Ming Mei's invitation, he instinctively refused.

"It doesn't matter, and my place is very close to the office. After a while, Rena can come to meet us after finishing her studies in the office. You can't make an appointment with other people!"

"Of course not, but let's forget it!"

For some reason, Lin Xiu felt a little embarrassed at Mingmei's invitation. Lin Xiuyi has always met through Rena and Mingmei. There aren't many opportunities for the two to have a direct conversation like this.

"Could it be that Officer Lin refused my invitation because he was afraid of meeting Miss Jingzi?"

"Of course not, I'm just afraid of causing trouble for you!"

Hearing that Mingmei mentioned her neighbor, Miss Jingzi, Lin Xiuyi immediately denied it to the other party.

"However, I don't think it will cause me any trouble taking you up there!"

Mingmei continued to invite Lin Xiuyi. Since everything was said, Lin Xiuyi naturally had no reason to refuse!

"Then, I will be disturbed!"

Lin Xiuyi replied to Mingmei with some embarrassment. Hearing Lin Xiuyi's affirmative answer, Mingmei squinted her eyes again and nodded. Lin Xiuyi guessed that the mask under the mask might be a smile, but Lin Xiuyi didn't know what kind of smile it was.

In this way, the two of them held their umbrellas and walked side by side in the streets of Akasaka. The air after the rain was fresh and humid, and the streets were rarely as empty as they are now, but Lin Xiuyi didn't notice all this. Because he really doesn't know what common topics he can communicate with Mingmei for a while.

"Well, do you want to eat something downstairs before going upstairs, it's almost time for dinner anyway!"

Lin Xiuyi suddenly pointed to the 711 convenience store on the street and asked Ming Mei.

"Uh, there should be enough food in the refrigerator! But if Officer Lin has something to eat, we can go in there too!"

Mingmei heard Lin Xiuyi's suggestion, and immediately stopped to reply to Lin Xiuyi.

"Otherwise, just buy some oden as a side dish. By the way, it seems that the instant rice in the convenience store is not bad. We can buy one and go back to make tea and rice!"

Lin Xiuyi casually suggested to Ming Mei ~lightnovelpub.net~ These are the foods that Lin Xiuyi often ate at night when he lived alone. There is no need to prepare rice for tea and rice, as long as it is sold and heated in a microwave oven, and then poured with the brewed tea. Oden is even more useful. It can be used as a dish for dinner, a dish for drinking, and a snack to kill time while watching TV. To be honest, for the otaku, as long as the food is sufficient and delicious, they can never go out to buy.

Mingmei was actually worried about what to eat at night. However, after hearing Lin Xiuyi's suggestion, Mingmei seemed to think it was a good idea. After all, you always have to wear a mask when you go out to eat, which is really inconvenient. And it is rare to have someone to have dinner with me, of course, it is more comfortable at home.

So, the two walked into the convenience store like this, and then bought some side dishes and snacks for dinner in the evening. Except oden, chicken **** and rice. Lin Xiuyi also bought a few cans of beer drinks and something similar to shredded squid.

"Thanks to your patronage, a total of 2390 yen!"

After the service staff at the convenience store reported the price, Lin Xiuyi quickly handed over his bank card. And Mingmei raised the bag and stood aside. It seems that the two are like a couple who went downstairs to buy supper! reading net
