Chapter 28 Could this friend's name be...?
Chapter 28 Could this friend's name be...?
At that moment, Nagasaki Motoyo also came over.
She was holding two bowls of fragrant white rice.
Seeing Bai Qiu holding her phone with a smile, Nagasaki Motoyo asked with a smile,
Is there anything interesting?
Bai Qiu put down her phone and looked at Nagasaki Motoyo.
"Chatting with some band friends."
band?!
My friend... Ah!
Nagasaki Motoyo's hand froze.
She used to have a few close band friends.
However, now...
She was the only one left in Crychic's group chat.
Is Bai Qiujun also involved in a band?
Just as Nagasaki Motoyo was about to ask that question.
Bai Qiu spoke first,
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you, Nagasaki-kun."
The fragrant food in front of him made Bai Qiu's mouth water.
Bai Qiu had been eating bento boxes for the past few days, and the home-cooked dishes in front of her made her appetite increase.
"You are welcome."
"Besides, I can't finish it all by myself."
"Actually, I was supposed to have dinner with my mom tonight, but she had to leave at the last minute."
Nagasaki Motoyo said somewhat embarrassedly, which also served as an explanation of the situation outside earlier.
"I see," Bai Qiu nodded.
So it seems that the career woman I met in the elevator earlier was Nagasaki Motoyo's mother.
No wonder he thought it looked familiar.
Thinking about it now, the two really do look about 70 or 80 percent alike.
By the way, the wife's hairstyle is safe.
The two clever individuals chose not to dwell too much on what had just happened and began to enjoy their food.
"I'm starting!" x2
Both of them have extremely high emotional intelligence and strong social skills.
Therefore, there was no shortage of topics to discuss during the meal.
Naturally, there won't be any awkward silences.
"Is this what Bai Qiujun usually eats?"
Nagasaki Motoyo picked up a piece of fried chicken and suddenly asked.
She recalled the day Bai Qiu bought a lot of instant noodles.
"Eating these things frequently is not good for your health."
Nagasaki Motoyo gently reminded him.
Although it tasted great, she still preferred the vegetable pasta.
"Not often."
I live alone.
"I usually eat out."
Bai Qiu explained.
He prefers to sample the diverse array of food available in the shopping street rather than cook for himself.
Nagasaki Motoyo was somewhat surprised.
Living alone?
Wouldn't that make me the same as her?
So, Nagasaki Motoyo asked with some concern,
"Where are Bai Qiujun's parents?"
Bai Qiu swallowed the food and replied casually.
"They went to a faraway place."
Motoyo Nagasaki's smile froze.
"Excuse me."
Even her gaze towards Bai Qiu carried a hint of pity.
Why the sudden apology?
Bai Qiu raised her head in confusion.
"Cough... I don't mean he passed away, he was just working abroad."
Bai Qiu added awkwardly.
"But I haven't seen them for several years either."
Bai Qiu said lightly again.
"Eh……?"
Nagasaki Motoyo blushed deeply, and was also surprised.
Several years? That's way too long!
How could there be such irresponsible parents?
At least she has her mother who comes back to visit her regularly and has meals with her.
Wouldn't Bai Qiu be even more miserable and lonely than her?
Thinking about it this way, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy.
Bai Qiu must be very lonely.
She could understand that feeling.
However, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but say in a sweet voice,
"Please, Bai Qiu, don't say things that are so easy to misunderstand."
"Excuse me."
Bai Qiu put down her chopsticks, clasped her hands together, and imitated Hong Xia's way of apologizing.
"It's all because Nagasaki-kun's cooking is too delicious."
Bai Qiu picked up his phone, intending to see if the band's group chat had anything left to say after it ended.
"Seriously, even if you say that..."
Nagasaki Motoyo's tone softened again.
Suddenly, a square band-aid next to the bowl and chopsticks caught her eye.
Nagasaki Motoyo's gaze sharpened.
Changing the subject,
"Does Bai Qiujun really like Band-Aids?"
Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Bai Qiu's fingers again. The fingers were long and smooth, with no signs of injury.
Carrying cartoon bandages around doesn't seem like a typical boy's preference.
Recalling the last time she fell, Bai Qiu took out a penguin-patterned band-aid that she always carried with her.
Now I'm wearing so many band-aids with ocean fish patterns on them.
Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but feel puzzled and concerned.
These are things that lantern festivals do, just like what they do.
"Fortunately, these were all gifts from friends."
Bai Qiu didn't think much of it and explained with a light laugh.
The lamp gave him so many Band-Aids.
However, he himself doesn't seem to need it much.
After all, he is a keyboardist, and keyboardists, unlike guitarists and bassists, are less likely to injure their fingers while practicing.
You know, a pianist's hands are very precious.
"That's it..."
A gift from a friend.
A glint flashed in Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes.
At this moment, a guess inevitably came to her mind.
It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?
Xiaodeng doesn't seem like the type of child who can easily make friends with boys.
However, Nagasaki Motoyo desperately hoped that this conjecture was true!
Then, Nagasaki Motoyo tilted her head slightly, as if she were reminiscing.
"Speaking of which, I also know a friend who likes to collect Band-Aids!"
Nagasaki Motoyo said with a smile.
"Could it be that Bai Qiujun's friend also likes smooth pebbles or pill bugs?"
Ok?
Bai Qiu also became interested.
Are there other children like the lamp? Maybe the lamp can become friends with the other child.
Bai Qiu knew that, despite the lamp appearing to be immersed in its own world, it was not truly a world of its own.
In reality, she really wants to share the things she's interested in with others.
However, there aren't many girls who are interested in a hobby like lighting.
"Yes, and they would even put these items on their desks to observe them during class."
Bai Qiu looked at Nagasaki Sue.
"My friend does the same thing."
Nagasaki Motoyo felt her heart racing.
The answer is right in front of you!
Bai Qiu's eyes lit up as well.
At this moment, he also had a guess in his mind.
After all, Japan is so small, and Tokyo is just a village.
Looking expectantly into the other person's eyes.
"Could this friend's name be 'Lamp'?" x2
The two asked in unison.
