Chapter 373 A sweet night for two!
Mine Shiori's slightly nervous voice called back Sawayama Haruno who was somewhat absent-minded.
He coughed twice subconsciously, then pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, okay, Shiori, put on your coat too, be careful not to catch a cold."
"Um"
Mine Shiori responded in a pretentious manner, but she was actually very happy inside.
She saw the expression on Sawayama Haruno's face and naturally realized that the little trick she had just played successfully attracted the other party's attention.
Although this approach was somewhat inconsistent with his usual conservative character, if he continued to be conservative, even Suguha might get pregnant with Haruno's baby while he still had no real progress.
Therefore, Mine Shiori decided to change herself temporarily, at least to be bolder and more aggressive than before!
Through the Kyoto incident, she vaguely felt that Sawayama Haruno was a person who was easily soft-hearted towards people around him.
At the beginning, his relationship with Suguha Ezaki was not very deep, but because they had a relationship with each other, Haruno felt that he had to be responsible for Suguha Ezaki.
If you make good use of this, you can realize your Haruno strategy plan faster!
Thinking of this, Mine Shiori suddenly felt full of confidence. While Sawayama Haruno was taking a shower, she took out her mobile phone and searched for "teaching strategies" on the Internet.
People have to learn how to make good use of the Internet. All the plans that Mine Shiori knew were learned from the Internet. Therefore, she felt that before having sex today, she should also take precautions in advance and see if there are any tips on the Internet to increase the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them.
This way you can get twice the result with half the effort. It would be best if it was a "teaching guide" that could be executed immediately, so that as soon as Haruno comes out of the shower, he can start executing the plan.
Mine Shiori was fiddling with her phone a little nervously. At the same time, the sound of water splashing could be heard from the bathroom.
Completely unaware of what the petite girl in the room was thinking, Sawayama Haruno was actually enjoying the feeling of the hot water bathing his body.
Although a little bit of water mist would not cause much harm to his body, the heavy moisture on his body and the clothes sticking together from being wet still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Sawayama Haruno, who relaxed his whole body and stood under the shower enjoying the hot water, couldn't help but let out a sigh.
“It’s going even smoother than I thought.”
He closed his eyes and began to recall his experiences of the past three days.
From the beginning, he was sure that Mine Shiori was also going to pursue him, to him deliberately keeping it to himself and watching her clumsy and cute side, to her unusually proactive attitude when he checked into the room just now.
If things go as expected, Mine Shiori probably wants to confront me before the company's annual meeting begins?
That's right, they will have to return to the island country soon after the annual meeting. By then, I will have various things to do and may not have time to date Mine Shiori alone.
Even if there is time, it will probably take a long time to arrange it, which is far less convenient than coming now.
I believe Mine Shiori also understands this, so she is anxious to confront me today, right?
Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno slowly exhaled.
It is now past six in the evening, and the sun outside is gradually setting. In another five or six hours, it will be time for the two to turn off the lights and rest.
I guess it's impossible to drag it on any longer. I just don't know what exactly Shiori Mine's plan is. Is she planning to go out for dinner together later, and then go shopping for a while, and then tell her at the end?
Sawayama Haruno felt that this possibility was not impossible. After all, the other party was the kind of girl who was more reserved, and she would definitely think of laying the groundwork step by step.
Maybe they expressed their feelings secretly while they were shopping and enjoying the scenery outside, and then the two of them walked back to the hotel arm in arm, and finally got married.
"Surprisingly serious."
Sawayama Haruno turned off the shower, then shook his head, amused by his own thoughts.
After meeting the first four girls, he actually began to look forward to this normal way of love.
Just when Sawayama Haruno was about to take a soak in the bathtub, Mine Shiori's slightly nervous voice suddenly came from outside the bathroom.
"Haruno, are you hungry?"
"Eh?"
Sawayama Haruno, who was just about to get into the bathtub, froze in place when he heard this.
"is a bit"
He asked tentatively, "Is Shiori hungry too? Wait a moment, I'll be out soon after I finish my shower. Let's go out for dinner together then?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
Mine Shiori outside the bathroom seemed to be afraid that Sawayama Haruno might have misunderstood, so she quickly explained, "I thought if Haruno was hungry, we could order the hotel's meal service, so you can eat right away when you come out of the shower, right?"
"Hotel catering?"
Sawayama Haruno slowly sat in the bathtub and said casually, "Don't you want to go out to eat? No, I'm fine with it. If Shiori is hungry, then order the hotel meal first."
Very good, it seems that my previous guess was wrong.
So the question is, if Shiori Mine was not planning to go shopping, then what was she planning to do?
You can't just waste several hours in your room, right?
Or should we go downstairs and soak in the hot springs as written on the previous advertising card?
The hot springs in the hotel don't have any separation between men and women, but Sawayama Haruno feels that it's not a good place to "confess one's feelings." If he has to say, there are actually more suitable scenes around, right?
Even going outside to watch the waterfall at night is more romantic.
Sawayama Haruno couldn't figure it out, but since Mine Shiori wanted to eat early, then she could eat early. After taking a bath and relaxing, he felt a little hungry.
Outside the bathroom, Mine Shiori breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Sawayama Haruno said.
She added: "Is there anything Haruno would like to eat? If not, I'll just order something for you."
"Just make the decision."
Haruno's lazy voice came from inside.
Seeing that the other party really stopped asking questions, Mine Shiori suddenly felt secretly delighted.
She quickly returned to the bedside table, picked up the hotel's landline and prepared to call the waiter downstairs.
However, what Mine Shiori really wanted was not the hotel's free meals. Those were just some ordinary buffets, not much delicious food.
She planned to pay for her own meal at the high-end restaurant in the hotel, and the reason for doing so was also for her plans for tonight.
Only high-end restaurants serve drinks like red wine. Yes, red wine.
Mine Shiori searched for strategies on the Internet for a long time, and after analyzing her current environment and situation, she felt that there was only one way that was most likely to quickly enhance the ambiguous atmosphere between herself and Haruno and achieve that "good thing" naturally.
——That’s a candlelight dinner.
Although it sounds a bit old-fashioned, and this candlelight dinner was held in a hotel room, it felt a bit inexplicably out of place.
However, Mine Shiori happened to be a conservative who was very fond of this kind of thing. When she saw the strategy plan of candlelight dinner with red wine, her heart beat unusually wildly.
Her intuition told her that this was the plan most likely to facilitate her relationship with Haruno.
This was also the real reason why she had specially run over to ask Sawayama Haruno if he was hungry.
Now that the prerequisites for the plan have been met, Mine Shiori couldn't wait to call the high-end restaurant in the hotel. After ordering what she and Haruno wanted to eat with the waiter, she asked the other party to recommend a bottle of red wine.
The price is a bit scary.
Fortunately, Shiori Mine has been working at Kodansha for so long, and she has been trying to cut down on her daily expenses as much as possible, so it is not a problem for her to take out some money to buy a bottle of high-end red wine now.
As the saying goes, money should be spent wisely. For Mine Shiori, is there anything more important than spending it on things related to Haruno?
The answer is obvious.
After hanging up the phone, Mine Shiori sat on the big bed with excitement.
Instead of relaxing her, the soft touch of her body made her even more tense, as if she had anticipated what would happen here tonight, and the girl was filled with shyness.
In a place where no one else could notice, Mine Shiori's face began to turn red, as if a large amount of burning steam would burst out of her head in the next second. She shyly stepped on her left foot with her right foot, trying to calm down in this way.
But it didn't seem to have any effect. Instead, the slight pain reminded her of other things.
"Will Haruno accept my hobby?" Mine Shiori suddenly thought of this with some uneasiness.
She didn't know whether the other party would like this kind of place of hers. What if Haruno found it disgusting?
Although he seemed to understand her habits when they were in Kyoto before, the two of them were still getting along as friends at that time, and it is very likely that the situation will heat up to another level tonight.
What if Haruno is actually repulsed by this?
Thinking of this, Mine Shiori bit her lips subconsciously.
Why don't I just be a little more patient tonight and not act like that, otherwise it would be bad to scare Haruno.
The petite girl's mind was full of random thoughts about tonight's plans, and she didn't notice that Sawayama Haruno had already finished her shower and came out of the bathroom.
The other person was drying his hair, and the drooping white towel just covered Mine Shiori who was sitting on the bed. Sawayama Haruno shouted without even raising his head, which scared Mine Shiori so much that she shuddered.
"Shiori, did you order dinner?"
“Ah, ah.”
Mine Shiori was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. After hearing what Sawayama Haruno asked, she immediately pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, he should be here soon."
"Really? Then I..."
Sawayama Haruno originally wanted to say that he was going to blow dry his hair, but before he could finish his words, the doorbell rang and the waiter's voice was heard outside.
"You two, the dinner you ordered earlier has been delivered. Please come out and pick it up."
"Hey, we're here so soon."
Zeshan Haruno wiped his wet hair vigorously with a towel and said with a smile: "You sit down, I'll get it."
After saying that, he hung the towel on the clothes rack beside him and went to the door to get dinner.
Seeing this, Mine Shiori, who had wanted to take the lead, had to sit back awkwardly, praying that Haruno would not discover the bottle of red wine too quickly.
Although I couldn't see the other person getting food from the waiter, the sound of their conversation was still clearly audible.
"Sir, room 605, this is the meal your wife just ordered. Please check it on the bill."
"Oh, okay. Sea urchin and black truffle risotto and Australian wagyu beef. Oh, is this bottle of red wine too?"
Sawayama Haruno's slightly confused voice came from outside.
When hearing this voice, Mine Shiori's face instantly became sad.
Damn, I've been discovered.
She didn't expect that the waiter would bring the bill for her order for verification. Shouldn't it be put in the small food cart?
In order to keep the food warm, the lid of the dining car is usually not opened, and the wine should be placed on the lower level. Why is there a bill?
In fact, the most correct thing to do is to check the bill, and Mine Shiori's original judgment was not wrong. The mistake was that she forgot that this was a high-end hotel located in a scenic area. The price of ordering food here is very expensive. In order to ensure that there are no accidents, the guests who place orders will naturally check the bill first to see if there is anything missing.
All I can say is that Mine Shiori suffered from her lack of experience.
If Suguha Ezaki were to come, perhaps she could make it happen in a better way. No, given that guy's "straightforward" personality, she might just try to push Sawayama Haruno down directly, and then the two of them would go to a restaurant together for a candlelight dinner afterwards.
The characteristics of this master and apprentice are indeed very different.
"Okay, that's all. Should I sign here?"
"It's troublesome."
Sawayama Haruno's slightly helpless voice was transmitted into the hotel room. Less than a moment later, Mine Shiori saw him coming back pushing the food cart.
"that."
Mine Shiori didn't dare to look at him at all, and could only move her gaze to the carpeted floor beside her with a guilty conscience.
"Wine?"
Unexpectedly, Sawayama Haruno did not show any mischievous or teasing smile.
He held the bottle of red wine and said with a smile, "It seems to be a very famous brand, but I don't know much about red wine. So, let's call it a candlelight dinner tonight, right?"
"Um"
Mine Shiori pursed her lips and whispered, "Won't Haruno think I'm taking the initiative?"
"You can be bolder." Zeshan Haruno fiddled with the bottle in his hand and said with a smile, "Or maybe after you finish it, you won't feel that you acted on your own initiative just now."
He was not so unromantic, and he certainly knew better than anyone that Mine Shiori wanted to use the candlelight dinner as an excuse to secretly express her long-buried feelings to him.
