"Yeah, thank you for your hard work, Sawamura-kun. Just leave the box there and take a rest."

Although summer has not arrived yet, Eriri Sawamura, who has been moving constantly, still sweats a little. So she takes off her shirt and ties it around her waist, revealing the white lining underneath which is slightly stained with sweat.

Bai Ye handed her a tissue and water, his eyes sweeping over her chest.

Although it is just a slightly raised hill, after experiencing the rooftop incident, Bai Ye understood that there is a different kind of elasticity and softness inside, just like the character displayed by Sawamura-san.

She appears polite and kind on the surface, but is actually sensitive on the inside. Only true friends can see her otaku and slightly willful side.

"Thank you, senior."

Eriri Sawamura wiped the sweat from her neck and took the cup of water.

"Wow—it's so icy and delicious! What is this?"

"Honey lemonade, I made it."

Bai Ye took out two puddings from the refrigerator. The chewy and smooth puddings were drizzled with chocolate maple syrup, which looked very tempting.

With honey lemonade in one hand and maple pudding in the other, Eri Sawamura felt like she had reached the peak of her life.

"Wow! Senior, you have so many delicious foods. You must be living a very comfortable life!"

Bai Ye shrugged and said jokingly:

"Because that's all I pursue. If I don't make snacks and desserts, I'll have nothing to do."

"Aren't there comics?"

“Eating and watching at the same time is the ultimate pursuit.”

"I wholeheartedly agree with this. Senior, you understand it too!"

Chapter 45 Let’s go out and play together quietly, we won’t be discovered!

Bai Ye and Sawamura Eriri went downstairs carrying several plastic bags.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sawamura-kun."

"It's okay, senior. Are you going to make a delivery?"

"Yeah, I'll finish delivering it today. I have other work tomorrow."

Eriri Sawamura untied the sportswear tied around her waist and put it on. She noticed that Bai Ye pushed out a motorcycle and looked at her with surprise and interest.

"Is Senior old enough to ride a motorcycle?"

"I suspect that you are taking this opportunity to discredit me, Sawamura-kun."

Bai Ye put the bags of goods into the basket installed at the rear of the car and explained, "Anyone over the age of sixteen can get a license to drive a motorcycle under 400cc. Sawamura-kun, are you really from Japan?"

Sawamura Eriri raised her golden hair and retorted proudly:

"Well...my father is British, and this problem falls right in the half I don't know."

Bai Ye gave a thumbs up.

"I admire you for being able to make it up with your bloodline."

"So what if I don't know? You're not allowed to ride a motorcycle to school."

Helping Bai Ye put the goods into the basket, Bai Ye spoke before Sawamura Eriri could say anything.

"Sawamura-kun, do you want to go deliver the goods together?"

"No, senior, I still have to go home and draw the draft."

Seeing Sawamura Eriri about to raise her hand to say goodbye, Bai Ye said calmly to the air in front of him:

"That's a shame. I was thinking of taking Sawamura-san out for some good food, so..."

Eat good food?

Eri Sawamura raised her eyebrows and paused in raising her hand, but her natural sensitivity allowed her to smell something unusual.

She came to "repay her debt". Bai Ye treating her to pudding and honey lemon tea could be understood as a normal gesture between friends, but now he treated her to delicious food, which had to arouse her suspicion.

She looked at Bai Ye, her blue eyes seeming to see something.

"Why did you ask me to eat, Senior?"

Bai Ye sighed that although Sawamura Eriri looked silly and cute on the surface, she was actually extremely sensitive inside, and the slightest disturbance could get on her nerves.

But he was also prepared.

"I didn't say I'd treat you to good food, I said I'd bring you."

"bring?"

Eriri Sawamura was confused for a moment. Is there any difference between "please" and "bring"?

Bai Ye patted the basket at the back of the car and said, "Although the products are free, I've become familiar with the merchants after a few visits, so every time I go there, they always give me some local specialties, snacks, and side dishes."

Bai Ye showed a hint of helplessness as he spoke.

"It's okay for those who can take it away, but the ones who can't be taken away have to be eaten on the spot. Although each family only gives a small amount, there are too many people giving it. It would be impolite to refuse other people's kindness."

Sawamura Eriri's expression gradually changed from confusion to surprise, and finally she was stunned with her mouth open.

Some were starving to death, some were full to death. This was the first time she had seen someone worry about eating too much!

It would be nice if I had this kind of trouble...

"Senior, what can I say about your experience..."

"No need to say anything. Everyone has their own troubles. I'm going to deliver the goods first."

Bai Ye shrugged and started the motorcycle.

The sound of the engine starting was like the school bell, cheering up the sleepy students and waking up Eri Sawamura who was lost in her gourmet fantasy.

Pursing her cherry lips and giggling, Sawamura Eriri moved forward, as if she had forgotten what she had said before.

"Senior, wait a minute!"

"what?"

Bai Ye looked sideways with an expressionless face, but he was already very happy inside.

The fish is hooked!

"Senior, you look troubled. It's not impossible for me to help you!"

"Aren't you going home to finish your drawings?"

"It's past 3 o'clock now. I can't concentrate on drawing for an hour or two after returning home. Then I have to eat dinner. I might as well do something more meaningful."

What would be more meaningful to try every street and alley in Tokyo?

Deep down, Eriri Sawamura actually longs to chat and play with her otaku friends, go shopping and have fun together, and look for delicious food together, just like the male and female protagonists in everyday anime. However, Tomoyuki Aki is also a pure otaku. Apart from delivering newspapers and going to bookstores, he hardly ever goes out.

In addition, Eriri Sawamura and Tomoya Aki had a bad relationship in the past, so she would not reveal her otaku identity at school. Naturally, she did not receive any invitations from otaku friends, so she had to stay at home alone and kill time by reading comics and drawing.

Bai Ye would not be so tactless as to provoke a girl. His goal today has been achieved.

As long as she set a precedent, she would not have to worry about asking Sawamura Eriri out with the same reason next time.

"Here's your helmet. Be careful when you get on the bus. There's a basket at the back so you don't trip."

"Uh-huh!"

Holding Bai Ye's shoulder, Sawamura Eriri carefully got on the motorcycle, but her poor physical condition caused her to lose her balance when she sat down, and she fell on Bai Ye's back.

Bai Ye silently memorized the softness and elasticity from her back and pretended not to notice her embarrassment.

"Are you seated? Let's go."

A blush appeared on Sawamura Eriri's face. She held the basket and kept some distance from Bai Ye so that she would not fall on his back.

"Okay, senior."

As the motorcycle drove out of the intersection, Bai Ye snapped his fingers, attracting the attention of Eriri Sawamura.

"Sawamura-kun, help me with the navigation."

"What's wrong, don't you know the way, Senior?"

"I know him. Please help me check the real-time traffic conditions. Everyone is out having fun on the weekends, so it would be terrible if we get stuck in traffic."

"Oh oh, leave it to me!"

Eriri Sawamura held her cell phone in one hand. Bai Ye was not driving fast, but she also had to hold Bai Ye's shoulder with one hand to maintain balance. Her delicate body inevitably had more contact with Bai Ye due to acceleration and deceleration.

"Senior, just follow the nearest one."

"Yeah, you have to be careful too."

Xu Liang felt the breeze blowing past his ears, and the street scenes kept receding from the corner of his eyes.

Sawamura Eriri couldn't help but have an idea:

When was the last time you and Lun went out together?

An autumn outing organized by the primary school?

After a conflict in junior high school, not only could we not play together, even saying a word to each other was a luxury.

It was also from then on that Eriri Sawamura became a hidden otaku, and got used to staying at home and painting.

"I admire my seniors very much. They can find their own goals and strive for them. They feel that their lives are very fulfilling."

What's going on here?

I don’t understand why Eriri Sawamura suddenly became serious, but Bai Ye secretly read the hidden meaning in her words.

"Sawamura-san really likes drawing, and he draws so well. He can be a cartoonist or designer in the future. If he likes, he can stay at home and take on drawings, and do it easily."

“It’s not that easy actually…”

Eriri Sawamura recalled that she gave Byakuya the impression of being an otaku who was good at drawing, but Byakuya had no idea that she was a comic book artist and had participated in many comic conventions to sell doujinshi.

"Senior told me all his hobbies, but I'm hiding so many things. Isn't that a bit bad?"

"Sawamura-kun, there's a comic convention next month. Are you interested in going with everyone?"

Chapter 46 You won’t suffer any loss if you are with me

After turning a few intersections, there were fewer tourists traveling on the streets on weekends, and the air was filled with the sounds of neighbors chatting and the smell of fireworks.

"We're here, Sawamura-kun, take bag number 1."

"I know. Senior, you get off the bus first. It's too difficult for me to step over the basket."

Eriri Sawamura got out of the car, picked up the bag, and looked up to see the store sign.

"Fukunoya... looks like an izakaya?"

"Yeah." Bai Ye took a bag of goods from Sawamura Eriri and continued, "This store is quite famous in the nearby commercial street. It's an izakaya at night, and a completely different scene in the afternoon."

"What sight?"

Bai Ye pursed his lips, his tone a little mysterious.

"You'll know when you get in. You won't be disappointed."

Out of curiosity, Eriri Sawamura pushed open the door, and a refreshing sweet fragrance immediately hit her face.

“It tastes so sweet!”

"Don't stand at the door with an intoxicated look on your face. This shop is an izakaya at night, and in the afternoon they make a pot of red bean dumplings, which is the shop's signature dish."

Bai Ye smiled. When he first visited this store, his reaction was similar to Sawamura Eriri's.

A middle-aged couple was standing by the stove. The woman was wearing an apron and stirring a pot of soup with a spoon. The sweet aroma came from here. The man was busy at the desk, wearing a traditional Japanese chef's robe. His expression was meticulous, and one could tell at a glance that he was the "general" of this restaurant.

"Ah, long time no see, Xiao-jun!"

"It's been a while, Mr. Fukuno, Mrs. Fukuno. I brought this month's goods."

"Thank you, we've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Mrs. Fukuno smiled and welcomed Bai Ye to her seat, and her eyes fell on Sawamura Eriri.

"Hey, has Mr. Xiao hired any helpers yet?"

"No, Sawamura-kun is my friend. He came to help me today."

Eriri Sawamura bent down to greet people. In front of outsiders, she was the perfect young lady.
