"Actually..." Jiang Cheng was about to refuse, but was interrupted by a smiling A Miao.
"You will definitely not refuse my invitation, right?" A Miao narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "right? Jiang Chengsang?"
"Um, let me take the eggs and stuff!" Jiang Cheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said immediately: "I just need to go to the convenience store! Leave it to me!"
"Is it really okay?" A Miao asked worriedly.
"Ah! It doesn't matter!" Jiang Cheng gave a thumbs up and squeezed his eyes, but then he suddenly discovered something, "Where is Gintoki?"
"Gin-chan just said that he was going to the convenience store to buy Jump Aru." Kagura explained aloud.
"That's it..." Jiang Cheng nodded and responded casually, then looked at A Miao again, smiled and said, "I will buy some good ingredients, just wait."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng directly rubbed oil on his soles and rushed towards the convenience store.
"And my vinegar kelp!" Kagura reminded Jiang Cheng.
"I see!"
…
As soon as Jiang Cheng walked into the convenience store, he saw Gintoki looking for JUMP in front of the bookstall nearby.
"Hey, I need to buy ingredients, help me." Jiang Cheng came over and reminded.
"Um, Jiang Cheng..." Gintoki pointed at the cover of an adult magazine on one side of the bookstall and looked at Jiang Cheng.
Looking at the scantily clad girl on the cover of the adult magazine, Jiang Cheng's pupils shrank slightly, "This... this girl is..."
…
Shimura family, Hendokan.
"We're back—" Jiang Cheng, carrying two large bags of ingredients, shouted casually and stepped into the main room.
Behind Jiang Cheng was Gintoki, who was also carrying two bags of vegetables and meat.
Seeing the two people arriving, A Miao quickly stood up and stepped forward to greet them.
"I'm sorry, A Miao," Jiang Cheng smiled sheepishly, "There are no fresh eggs in the convenience store, but there are quite a lot of fresh vegetables and meat."
"That's really a pity." A Miao's face showed a little regret.
"By the way, what are the two of them doing?" Jiang Cheng put down his shopping bag and pointed at Kagura, who was constantly trampling on the new eight, and asked doubtfully.
"It's just a pair of glasses, why are you so arrogant?!" Kagura scolded angrily as he stepped on it, "Having a girlfriend made you so happy that you forgot all about it, Aru?! It's just a pair of glasses!"
"Who are those glasses?!" Shinpachi retorted loudly with his eyes rolled, and then he sneered and loudly continued, "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry for having a girlfriend!"
"This is clearly a proud tone!" Kagura rolled her eyes and shouted, "You guy!"
"Stop making trouble you two, we will have dinner soon." A Miao reminded helplessly.
"Listen to me! Gin-chan! Little uncle!" Kagura pointed to Shinpachi at his feet and said with an unhappy face, "Shinpachi said he planned to confess to that girl tomorrow, Aru! It's just a virginity spectacle. !cut!"
"Hey! What's wrong with the virginity glasses?!" Shinbachi argued loudly, "It's okay if she likes it!"
"Xinbaji, I have something to tell you."
After Gintoki put down the shopping bag in his hand, he walked step by step towards Shinpachi who was stepped on the floor and squatted down, looking at Shinpachi's face seriously.
"What's wrong?" Shinpachi felt unnatural all over as he was stared at by Gintoki.
"Hey, Silver..."
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to say something, he suddenly saw Gintoki's expression change. He immediately gritted his teeth and stood up to join the stampede.
"Asshole! You actually got a cute girlfriend before Gin-san dated Yuno! Are you ready to wake up?!" Gintoki scolded with rolled eyes as he stepped on it.
At the same time, seeing Gintoki's appearance, Kagura looked overjoyed and continued to step towards Shinpachi.
"Don't get carried away! You're wearing glasses!" Kagura stepped on and scolded.
"Ah!!" Xin Baji screamed.
"Let them just mess around today, Miss A Miao." Jiang Cheng smiled gently and looked at A Miao aside, "The two of them are also happy for Xin Bajie from the bottom of their hearts."
"Of course I know about this kind of thing." A Miao covered her face and laughed, and then suddenly rushed towards Xin Baji and stepped on it vigorously. While stepping on it, she rolled her eyes and said angrily: "It will be faster to get a girlfriend." I didn’t even tell my sister that I was pregnant! Do you know how worried my sister is?!"
"Sister! Why did you join in too?!" Xin Baji shouted in a frenzy.
Yue Yong, holding a cigarette stick, came to Jiang Cheng's side, glanced at Gintoki, then looked at Jiang Cheng, and said lightly: "Hey, just now..."
"No, nothing." Jiang Cheng interrupted Yue Yong with a smile.
"I haven't said anything yet," Yue Yong replied calmly, "But since you all think it doesn't matter, it must be a trivial matter."
"Yes, it's just a trivial matter."
…
The next afternoon.
"Is this really okay?" Xin Baji looked down at himself, who was wearing the same clothes as usual, and said a little unconfidently.
"I think it's better for Shin-chan to be as usual." A Miao said with a smile, "Isn't that child just like normal Shin-chan?"
"Come on." Kagura folded her hands and said with an unhappy expression.
"Come on, Mr. Xin Baji." Jiang Cheng patted Xin Baji on the shoulder and encouraged him with a smile.
"Take this with you." Yue Yong pointed to a small bucket of lubricant on the ground and said.
"No, that is something that is not needed at all." Gintoki complained expressionlessly, "something that will make the confession a hundred percent failure."
"Don't worry, your vacancy in Wanshiwu will be filled by me, the proprietress." Xiao Yuan said, "Yin Sang and I's wedding will definitely be held before you two. Ah!"
Then, Kozaru was kicked out by Gintoki.
"Don't worry, Miss A Miao. I have already taken my annual leave. I will definitely let you see your nephew before you two get married!" Kondo gave a thumbs up and winked at the same time.
As soon as Kondo finished speaking, he was sent flying by A Miao's uppercut.
"Anyway, keep going." Jiubei nodded and said this.
"Then...I'm going!" Xin Bajia raised his head and greeted everyone with serious eyes.
Jiang Cheng, A Miao and others showed encouraging smiles and returned the greeting at the same time.
…
Just as Xin Baji's figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt something. He stretched out his hand and glanced up at the sky that had become gloomy at some point.
"It's going to rain..." Jiang Cheng murmured.
"It was obviously a sunny day just now." A Miao covered her mouth and said with a hint of surprise, and then looked at the direction where Xin Baji left again, "Xin-chan...is it really okay?"
…
Shinbaji, who was holding an umbrella, stood face to face with the girl who was also holding an umbrella on the wooden bridge. Because of the heavy rain, there was no passerby around.
It was as if the heavy rain and the two people standing on the bridge were the only ones left in the world. The sound of the rain was very loud, and the sound of the rain covered up the noise of the entire Edo.
After hesitating for a long time, the blushing Shinbaji closed his eyes, lowered his head and shouted something to the girl.
The girl seemed to be frightened. After being stunned for a long time, she whispered something, bowed to Xin Baji, then turned around and ran out holding an umbrella.
Only Xin Baji was left standing there, with his head lowered and his face full of depression, and the umbrella in his hand gradually fell to the ground.
What Xin Baji didn't know was that under a big tree not far behind him, Jiang Cheng, A Miao and others were standing here, and they had been standing here since he confessed.
But unlike Xin Baji, no one held an umbrella, and everyone's shoulders were already wet from the rain. However, no one had anything to say, they just stood here with worry, sympathy, or watching indifferently. At this moment, Shinpachi remained silent and lowered his head in the rain.
…
It was evening, at a certain barbecue restaurant in Edo.
In a certain private room.
"Well, Mr. Xin Baji, you have spent a lot of money today!" Jiang Cheng looked at Xin Baji, who had his head lowered and remained silent beside him, and cheered: "Sa! Eat quickly! I will eat as much as I want today. I won’t complain! Just hurry up and recover after eating!”
"Yes, Shin-chan, hurry up and cheer up after eating," A Miao, who was sitting opposite Shin-Bachi, quickly took over and continued with a smile, "It's rare to eat barbecue today!"
Xin Baji remained silent.
"I thought it would definitely succeed." Jiubei on the side held his chin and murmured analysis.
"No, it's definitely not possible Aru." Kagura said vaguely while eating the roasted meat.
"Why?" Kondo looked at Kagura in confusion.
"Because..." Kagura swallowed a big mouthful of meat in her mouth, waved her hands and continued: "Because after all, this is the new eight-year-old. If you have a girlfriend, you will become a new person who is not like the new eight-year-old." Haha Aru."
"That's it!" Kondo tapped his palm with his hand.
"So he's so big!" Yue Yong reminded in a low voice, "Can you pay attention to the atmosphere? Are you so comforting?"
"But it makes sense." Kozaru interjected with some disapproval, "And that girl looks like a flower of high cabbage. This guy with glasses can't take it off."
"It's the flower of the high mountains! The high vegetables are pickled vegetables!" Jiang Cheng corrected speechlessly, but then he suddenly discovered something, "Wait a minute! You natto girl, what are you going to add to the beef?" ?! Stop it! Stop it!"
"Natto for Wagyu!" The little monkey who was pouring natto on the wagyu laughed, "Let you also feel the charm of natto..."
Before Xiao Yuan could finish speaking, Jiang Cheng stood up instantly and sent Xiao Yuan away from his seat with a flying kick.
At this time, Kagura and Gintoki on the side also quarreled because they didn't know who ate whose roasted beef tongue, and the verbal conflict gradually turned into a physical conflict.
"Asshole! I just grilled the beef tongue, and I'm going to dip it in lemon juice and swallow it with rice!" Gintoki shouted loudly with blue veins and white eyes.
"No, that's the beef tongue aru I just roasted!" Kagura argued without thinking, but just after saying that, Kagura suddenly felt something and touched her head, "Who threw the natto? On my head?! Bastard!"
…
In short, with the disdainful efforts of a few people, everyone except Xin Baji was successfully involved in this chaotic battle, and the entire private room was like a chicken and a dog.
But just as the conflict intensified, Xin Bajiu, who had kept his head down from beginning to end, finally reacted. First, two tears fell on the table in front of him, and then Xin Bajiu's shoulders began to shake unconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, Xin Bajiao's sobs became louder and louder. He raised his face and howled with his mouth wide open. Big tears kept rolling down from Xin Bajiao's face.
Seeing this, everyone stopped and sat down again.
About ten minutes later, Xin Baji's crying gradually stopped, but he still lowered his head and said nothing. His red eyes, the tear stains at the corners of his eyes, and the undisguised loss on his face all showed that Xin Baji was crying. How sad I feel at this time.
"Um, can you tell us about that girl?" A Miao tentatively asked, "Xin-chan?"
