Kisaki Eri was so angry that her beautiful eyebrows shot up, but she was helpless and could only walk to the cashier with a dark face.
Mouri Kogoro, who was unaware of the situation, and Reiko, who had misunderstood, also retreated to the side.
With no one in the way, Sharon leaned back in her chair, letting out a relaxed sigh.
She picked up the glass of wine on the table, took a sip of beer, then squinted at Hayashi Shuichi, asking with a half-smile, "Just now I just wanted a drink of water, why did your little girlfriend with glasses suddenly get so agitated? It seems you two have also been drinking a lot of water?"
Hayashi Shuichi awkwardly coughed, and quickly changed the subject: "At this time, you probably haven't eaten yet, right? What would you like to eat?"
Sharon's eyes twinkled, and she replied flirtatiously: "Big sister wants to eat you, is that okay?"
Hayashi Shuichi almost choked. He subconsciously glanced at Kisaki Eri, who was glaring at them with wide eyes not far away, and quickly put on a serious expression: "Ms. Wynard, please don't joke around."
"Who said I was joking?" Sharon snorted unhappily, "Some people really forget quickly. That afternoon, if that little girl hadn't suddenly appeared, we would have already..."
"Alright, I surrender, okay?" Hayashi Shuichi was afraid that Kisaki Eri and Reiko would hear this, so he quickly whispered, "What exactly do you want?"
"What do I want to do, didn't I just say?" Sharon leaned forward slightly, her eyes full of temptation, "Big sister wants to eat you."
"You!" Hayashi Shuichi was speechless.
Sharon looked at his embarrassed expression and couldn't help but laugh wantonly: "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Big sister is in a bad mood, just came here to relieve some boredom. Just bring out whatever side dishes you recommend with drinks."
Hayashi Shuichi nodded and began to busy himself at the counter.
Sharon rested her chin on her hand, watching him work with interest.
Look, look! What's so good to look at!
Kisaki Eri, not far away, gritted her teeth in anger. Reiko, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief and asked Kisaki Eri and Mouri Kogoro: "Teacher Sharon didn't scold Onii-chan, so the school fight should be over, right?"
Kisaki Eri's face was dark, and she remained silent.
Mouri Kogoro scratched his head with a dry laugh: "It's over, it's definitely over."
"Have some edamame first," Hayashi Shuichi also felt a bit awkward being watched by Sharon. He brought out a plate of edamame and gently placed it in front of the blonde beauty.
"Beans?" Sharon looked at the edamame, frowning slightly.
She clumsily picked up the chopsticks to pick it up, but accidentally used too much force and crushed the edamame directly, sending the beans flying out.
"Peel them by hand," Hayashi Shuichi smiled and demonstrated, "These are boiled in salted water with the shells on. They have a savory aroma with the natural sweetness of the beans, and a refreshing taste."
"Ah..." Sharon opened her mouth, her bright eyes smiling at Hayashi Shuichi.
Hayashi Shuichi didn't need to look up to know that the people not far away must have widened their eyes.
But what could he do? Who would have thought that this witch from the Black Organization would be so persistent?
Hayashi Shuichi braced himself and fed the peeled beans into Sharon's mouth.
"Hmm," the blonde beauty gently chewed a couple of times, a satisfied expression on her face, "The taste is indeed good."
After that, she stopped teasing Hayashi Shuichi and instead drank beer and peeled edamame on her own.
That hateful woman... Kisaki Eri clenched her fists in anger.
Mouri Kogoro looked envious, his eyes fixed on Sharon, muttering: "Shuichi is really enviable. I wish I had such a beautiful blonde woman with me too..."
As he spoke, he noticed Kisaki Eri's angry glare and quickly moved a few steps away.
As for Reiko, she also felt a sense of doubt. Didn't they say Ms. Sharon was a teacher?
Do foreign teachers get so close to their students?
...
The bottle of beer Mouri Kogoro had brought earlier was quickly finished by Sharon.
She placed the empty bottle heavily on the table and announced loudly: "Another bottle, no, three bottles of beer!"
Mouri Kogoro heard this and quickly brought three bottles of beer.
His face was full of smiles, and he was about to put them on the table when the beer was snatched by Hayashi Shuichi, leaving only one bottle in front of Sharon.
"Don't drink anymore after this bottle," Hayashi Shuichi reminded, "Drinking too much is bad for your health."
"Are you concerned about me? It's just beer, it's not as serious as you say?" Sharon shook her head amusedly, "Do you know what kind of alcohol I like most? If you guess correctly, big sister will be happy, and maybe I'll listen to you and stop drinking."
"Absinthe?" Hayashi Shuichi replied without lifting his head, still busy.
"You..." Sharon's eyes widened, looking at him with surprise, as if she had seen something incredible.
"What's wrong?"
"You, how did you guess?" Sharon's voice carried a hint of eagerness, her eyes full of curiosity.
Does that even need guessing? Your codename in the Black Organization is Vermouth, isn't that Absinthe?
Of course, this reason couldn't be said aloud, so Hayashi Shuichi could only explain: "I just said it casually, did I really guess correctly?"
"Absinthe is the most poetic thing in the world," Sharon didn't answer his question, but stared at the beer in her glass, her eyes hazy, as if lost in thought, "It's blurry, dreamy, full of mystery. Absinthe can make people forget all their worries and immerse themselves in their own world..."
"Like you?" Hayashi Shuichi asked with a smile.
Sharon glared at him angrily, a hint of annoyance in her eyes: "Do you know a lot about me?"
"That's hard to say," Hayashi Shuichi placed the takoyaki on the table, and said meaningfully, "Perhaps, I understand you far more than you imagine."
"Try this. It's rich in aroma and sweet in taste. All the female customers who come to the store love it."
"You should save those words to coax little girls for your little girlfriend with glasses." Sharon clearly misunderstood. She picked up a takoyaki with a toothpick, took a small bite, then said ambiguously, "The taste is alright, but for me, it's a bit too sweet."
"You're quite picky about your taste. Forget it, I'll grill something else for you." Hayashi Shuichi shook his head helplessly and put chicken skewers on the fire.
Since Sharon said she didn't like sweet things, he secretly sprinkled more chili powder on the chicken skewers. Let's see if you're still picky!
The second bottle of beer quickly bottomed out. Sharon's cheeks flushed, and her eyes became a little hazy.
She looked at Hayashi Shuichi and suddenly asked, "If you had another chance, would you still risk your life to save me?"
