”I'm going to say this first before I forget, but if you start working part-time, you can stay for dinner first because you'll be sure to be home late on weekdays”
When I stopped my hand stroking midday because I forgot to mention it, I told him, and midday blinked a tiny, large eye in my arm.
”We're still discussing the shift, but we're going to be here till the end of the week, so I think maybe it's about 21: 00. You can't make a boulder wait till then.”
”I'll wait.”
I was going to get them to eat first because it's bad to have them wait at midday when I'm hungry, but I'll give them back at midday as if they were supremely natural.
What are you talking about, all you have to do is lower your brow butt like Zhou is trouble when you're staring at me all the time.
”No, you're hungry”
”I want my heart filled more than my stomach, so I'll wait for Zhou-kun. Eating alone doesn't taste good, and I don't hate the time to wait for Zhou-kun.”
”Are we gonna be late?
”It's not that late.... or don't you like me waiting?
”There's no reason why you don't like it. I simply don't like to keep you waiting.”
”We're not waiting for nothing, are we? If you want to wait, you may do as much in the meantime. It just changes order.”
”You're worried,” he told me at midday, not even bitter, laughing and cheeking.
”Zhou-kun works hard for what he really wants and does, so there's no reason I wouldn't support it, is there? Even so, what you can do is prepare warm rice and a bath.”
”That's all. Thank you very much.... the best thing is that midday greets me when I get home. Looks so cheerful.”
”If you just look at me and you're feeling better, you're cheap.”
”... because you don't have to? Why don't you put your own convenience first?
It's midday, so even if there's something I should do, I think I'll give this one priority, but I'm laughing and flushing at midday at the time.
As for Zhou, I'm not going to tie up midday, but midday doesn't seem to like having to be with Zhou and I don't see any signs of bending my will. That's all I love and think about, so I'm happy, and I still don't want you to push me.
”Zhou Kun is the one who should not be forced to work hard, right? I don't know what you want, but Zhou-kun is worried that he will do it once he decides.”
