Thinking this, the waiter hurriedly handed the menu to Eriri and He Qian.

Looking at the menu in her hand, Eriri looked at He Qian and spoke:

"You order some, I don't want to use my brain anymore, it's too tiring!"

Seeing this, the waiter wisely refrained from approaching and suggesting that the dishes be served according to Eriri's mother's usual tastes.

After all, she didn't understand before, but after the manager's explanation, she understood Eriri's thoughts.

The reason they're saying this now is probably so that He Qian can order the dishes he likes.

But he seems a bit impulsive when he speaks?

"But it's probably mostly because you're embarrassed, right?"

As the waiter looked at Eriri, who had already placed the menu on the table and was looking at He Qian, she sighed inwardly.

He Qian, who was well aware of Eriri's thoughts, smiled and then looked at the menu in his hand and started ordering.

"That's all."

After ordering, He Qian looked at the waiter beside him and spoke.

At this moment, Eriri, who witnessed this scene, spoke up:

"Why did you order so little? You don't need to save me money... cough cough, what I mean is, if I'm not full, how will you carry so much food for me later, and you'll also be responsible for protecting me?"

The most important reason she spoke up was that He Qian only ordered five dishes and then stopped.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are five dishes; in reality, the portions at these high-end restaurants are quite small.

Of course, that's enough for two people.

Especially for Eriri, who eats very little, one dish might be enough for her.

However, Eriri was still worried that He Qian might not be eating enough.

Seeing this, He Qian also spoke up with a helpless expression:

"I've already eaten, so I don't have much of an appetite now."

Upon hearing this, the waiter next to him looked at He Qian with shock in his eyes.

She never expected that He Qian would dare to reveal that she had just eaten here.

Isn't this like dancing on lightning?

Does that mean the other party isn't afraid at all of Ms. Sawamura getting angry?

However, Eriri nodded calmly after hearing these words.

That makes sense. Although the so-called "classmates" didn't eat the dishes He Qian liked, since it was work, he definitely had to eat them.

It's normal to feel full now.

It seems I made a mistake.

Thinking this, Eriri knew that He Qian had already eaten a lot and was full, but she still picked up the menu and ordered what she thought were very good dishes.

After ordering, she looked at He Qian and explained quietly:

"Ahem, I just thought that since I'm treating people, ordering only a few dishes is nothing. People who don't know better might think I can't afford to treat them!"

It seems like he's saying he doesn't want to lose face.

But in reality, Eriri, given her status, doesn't need such superficial things at all.

The reason I'm saying this now is more importantly because I don't want He Qian to misunderstand anything.

Of course, the most important reason was that Eriri's tsundere tendencies kicked in unconsciously.

That was because she was afraid He Qian would see through her inner thoughts.

"Yes Yes."

Seeing Eriri's expression, He Qian nodded and spoke.

Although it looks rather perfunctory.

But Eriri felt a sense of relief.

Thankfully, he didn't realize what I was thinking!

Otherwise, Eriri felt so embarrassed she was going to die.

Then, while waiting for the waiter to serve the food, Eriri suddenly asked:

What do you think of Tomoya... President Aki?

"'fine'."

In response to Eriri's question, He Qian gave a perfunctory reply without even thinking.

This left Eriri somewhat helpless, but she didn't say much, only continuing to express her opinion:

"Sometimes I really think he's strange!"

Although she had supported Aki Tomoya's actions most of the time, aside from occasionally making a few arrogant remarks, she had generally supported them all when they were in school.

But this doesn't mean that Eriri can understand Aki Tomoya's behavior.

She genuinely felt that her childhood sweetheart's thoughts and behaviors were particularly strange.

Of course, besides feeling strange, there was more dissatisfaction and anger.

Especially since he seemed to have spoken the truth before, directly saying that he wanted to change artists!

Does Aki Tomoya think of him as someone who can be replaced at will and doesn't need to be cared about at all?

At this moment, seeing Eriri's anger rising, He Qian roughly understood her thoughts, but he still calmly spoke up:

"Is it strange? It is indeed strange, but I find it quite easy to 'communicate' with him."

That's what he said, but in reality he knew Aki Tomoya's personality very well. If the other party wasn't a bully who preyed on the weak, he would never have been able to 'communicate' with him properly.

However, when facing Eriri, I'll definitely have to use a different approach.

After all, based on He Qian's usual experience, the best way to slander someone in front of others is to praise them.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't do something like praising Aki Tomoya.

It's absolutely disgusting.

However, it's still acceptable to acknowledge or affirm the other party in certain aspects.

"That's just you. When you're dealing with other people, you're quite 'stubborn'."

Upon hearing He Qian's words, Eriri almost instantly blurted out those words.

Aside from when facing He Qian, Aki Tomoya can be described as extremely stubborn at other times.

Even though Eriri, as a professional illustrator, offered various suggestions on the original artwork, in the end, Aki Tomoya would say "okay, okay" but in the end, everything would be changed according to his ideas.

This was true even when facing Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Everything needs to be done according to Aki Tomoya's own vision.

There was absolutely no room for anyone else to interfere.

Although the game development company initially made it sound like they were partners, in reality it was just Aki Tomoya's dictatorship.

"Oh~"

Hearing Eriri's words, He Qian simply said "oh" twice and then said nothing more.

Although he could tell that Eriri had a lot of opinions about him, now was definitely not the time for him to speak up and slander her.

In this situation, it's enough to remain silent and listen to Eriri's thoughts.

Sure enough, Eriri continued speaking at this moment:

"Although I'm not happy with what Kasumigaoka says, her control over the story is something we can't compare to. However, all the ideas she came up with about the plot and main storyline were rejected by Aki, who insisted on doing things her own way!"

Although it's about Kasumigaoka Utaha, it's more about herself.
