Opening the door and looking at Morimi and Haixing standing outside, Naruse took a breath.
"Didn't you have enough to eat tonight?"
"What time was dinner? What time is it now?"
"You will gain weight."
"There's so much nonsense. If you don't go, Haixing and I will go by ourselves." Morimi pulled Haixing towards the elevator.
"One leaf..."
While Haixing was being pulled forward, he couldn't help but look back at Naruse, not knowing what to say.
She was obviously the one who asked for a midnight snack, but in the end, Yiye was even more active than her... Sure enough, it was because she was too hungry before that she had random thoughts?
And he stood at the door of the room, neither following nor stopping them, he just watched them walk away.
Ding——
When the elevator arrived, Haixing glanced at the corridor again, and Morimi walked directly in and pressed the button in the ground lobby.
"Come in."
The elevator door quickly closed and descended rapidly.
Ding——
After reaching the ground and stepping out of the elevator, Haixing looked back and then looked at Morimi.
"Where to eat..."
"I don't know either."
"Go to the station?"
Morimi shook his head, "Wait a minute."
Haixing was startled, "What are you waiting for?"
She looked down at her phone that vibrated, "Elevator."
Ding——
Another elevator next to it went down to the ground.
The elevator door opened and Naruse came out and stared at the two of them for a while.
"..."
Haixing looked at Morimi again.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
She looked calm, "I haven't decided yet."
"Just go to the station."
"Okay."
"Wait a moment, let me ask Naoko and the others." Naruse took out his mobile phone.
"I asked just now, but Naoko said he couldn't go." Morimi said, and Haixing nodded, "Hikaru, I've already fallen asleep with Sister Yue."
He didn't say anything.
The three of them left the hotel and walked towards Sendai Station.
In the middle of the night, the road became even more deserted, with almost no one in sight.
Morimi and Haixing followed Naruse closely, while he lowered his head and flicked his cell phone. After a while, he raised his head: "There is a yakiniku restaurant near the station. The reviews seem to be pretty good."
Mori looked over and asked, "Are you still open at this time?"
"Open until two o'clock in the morning."
"Then we can still eat for three hours."
Naruse glanced at her and said, "An hour will be enough."
She was noncommittal.
Naruse looked at Haixing again, "Is it your idea?"
She couldn't deny, "Well..."
"It's okay, I happen to be hungry too."
After walking forward for a while, Naruse looked at the map when he reached the intersection.
"It should be right in front, the name is '楽食'..."
"——I saw it."
He raised his head and saw a light sign not far away, with two bold black characters on a red background.
【楽食】
"That's it."
The three of them walked over and saw that the business in the store was very good. Even in the middle of the night, there were many customers sitting there. Fortunately, there were still empty seats and there was no need to queue up.
"Welcome to the restaurant, you three?"
"Well, three people."
The clerk led the three of them to an empty seat and brought them menus.
He ordered several pieces of beef and a special beef tongue. After flipping to the back of the menu, Naruse discovered that this yakiniku restaurant also offered Morioka cold noodles, so he ordered one.
Soon, another clerk brought over the charcoal-burning oven.
"Would you like something to drink?" Morimi asked.
"Juice bar." Naruse said.
Starfish nodded, "I want juice too."
She pushed up her glasses and looked at the clerk calmly, "Then a glass of beer and two glasses of juice."
"..."
Both looked at her.
"Okay. Please wait~"
The clerk was writing on the order book in his hand without noticing anything was wrong.
After he left, Naruse said:
"If you are discovered, you won't have to worry about getting into Beijing University."
"..."
Morimi clenched his fists, feeling his hands were a little weak and his chest was pounding.
She also didn't expect that her sudden idea could be executed so smoothly.
"No one knows except you."
Haixing was so frightened by her sudden rebellion that he couldn't speak, and he vaguely felt that it was a wrong decision for him to take her to eat midnight snacks.
Naruse looked at Morimi for a while, then looked at the busy clerk at the front desk, and whispered:
"We're not wearing uniforms, so we might be mistaken for students from Northeastern University."
Morimi nodded, "That's what I just thought..."
"Why drink?"
"No reason, I just saw it and suddenly felt like drinking."
Naruse pursed his lower lip and said, "It's illegal."
"You just said it now."
"Say it like you don't know."
Morimi looked at him: "I mean, why didn't you stop it just now?"
"Because Haixing and I were both frightened by your blatant illegal behavior."
Naruse said and glanced at Haixing next to her, "Her family owns a hotel, and none of them have ever drank..."
He paused, because Starfish's expression suddenly became a little subtle.
"..."
He stared at her, she looked at him and quickly looked away;
He kept staring, her eyes wandered, her expression became more and more uncomfortable, and finally she had to take the initiative to confess.
"When I first entered middle school, I drank a little bit... just once."
Morimi raised an eyebrow.
"Ha."
Naruse leaned back and looked at the two people sitting across from each other.
"You can treat me to this meal, or I will report it to the school - bring me the menu, I want to add some extra dishes."
Haixing's eyes widened: "Why is this..."
But Morimi just sneered and didn't believe it.
After a while, drinks for the three of them and a large plate of raw beef were delivered first.
Picking up a few pieces of beef and putting them on the barbecue grill, Naruse took a sip of the juice and looked at Morimi.
She also picked up the beer, stared at it for a while, and took a sip under the gaze of the two people.
She frowned slightly, as if savoring it.
"It's nothing more than that..."
"It's just beer." Naruse said, and then saw her hand over the beer.
"You take a sip too."
"..."
Morimi looked at him and said, "If you become an accomplice, you won't talk nonsense."
After looking at her twice, Naruse took the beer and took a long sip without any pause.
She smiled.
Putting down the beer, Naruse was about to say something when Haixing suddenly reached out to take the beer and took a big sip.
"..."
As the coldness entered her throat, she frowned and calmed down for a moment, "I won't talk nonsense."
"バカ......"(ba ka)
Morimi quickly took the beer back and said, "I believe Haixing won't talk nonsense."
"..."
The disbelieving person looked at the ceiling above his head, then looked at the oven, and turned the beef over.
Morimi raised his glass again and said, "Cheers."
The juice and beer collided with each other, making a soft sound.
Gulu——
The wine glass slowly tilted and she took a big sip.
"Ha..."
"What an uncle." Naruse turned over the beef and said without raising his eyes.
"..."
She glared over, but couldn't help but smile.
"It's done." He picked up a piece of beef for Morimi, and another piece for Haixing.
The freshly roasted beef is tender and delicious, so soft that it seems to melt in your mouth.
"It's delicious..." Haixing said vaguely. Before he could swallow the beef in his mouth, his eyes were already looking at another piece on the grill.
"This piece is mine."
Putting the roasted beef into his bowl, Naruse added a few slices of raw beef to the grill before putting it into his mouth.
"Well..."
The beef is tender and melts in your mouth, making you very satisfied.
Then they ate, then grilled, and after a while, sliced beef tongue was also brought over.
Put it on the grill and the aroma will soon fill the air.
Naruse turned over it twice and felt that it was almost done, so he took a piece for himself and the two girls opposite him.
The freshly grilled beef tongue is thick and juicy. When you bite into it, you can faintly feel the gravy overflowing from it.
"It's so delicious..." Haixing repeated the same words.
Morimi also nodded, looking at the sizzling beef tongue on the grill.
"I wonder what human tongue tastes like...Does starfish know?"
"Ahem!"
Starfish was drinking juice and suddenly choked.
"...I haven't eaten it."
Naruse glared at Morimi.
And she patted the starfish's back gently, stuck out her pink tongue, and suddenly smiled.
