The atmosphere at the table was just right.

Everyone sat on the floor, and the table was filled with plenty of sukiyaki and sushi.

"Eh! So even though it's a Valentine's Day party, everyone who comes is actually single, right?"

Suzuki Sonoko looked at everyone in surprise and asked.

"Yes, it's essentially just a party for friends, but maybe some people just want to take advantage of this party to get rid of being single."

The pretty Watanabe Yoshimi replied with a smile.

The president Minagawa Katsuhiko, who was sitting opposite her, looked up at her when he heard this, and this subconscious action was noticed by another girl, Sekiya Kaori.

"...I see. Then we feel a little embarrassed to participate."

Suzuki Sonoko muttered.

"It doesn't matter. The more people there are at the party, the more lively it is." Minagawa Katsuhiko responded.

He is indeed a handsome guy with a good-looking appearance.

That day, Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran were eating cake in a cafe, and it was Minagawa Katsuhiko and Wakamatsu Toshihide who came over and chatted with them.

In fact, Minagawa Katsuhiko had no interest in the two little girls, but Wakamatsu Toshihide, a self-satisfied muscular man, took a liking to Mouri Ran at first sight, and he went to help with the intention of being a wingman for his friend.

However, his appearance instead made Suzuki Sonoko more excited. She had been planning to flirt with some men at the party today, but she didn't expect Hayashi Yoshiki to show up. This made Sonoko suddenly feel that Minagawa Katsuhiko was a bit boring.

"Come to think of it, when Ran called me, I was surprised and thought she had a boyfriend so she was going to the Valentine's Day party."

With his elbows resting on the table and one hand supporting his cheek, Hayashi Yoshiki said with a smile.

"Brother Yoshiki..." Mouri Ran blushed visibly.

"Well, it turned out later that she was just not good at rejecting people, which made me feel relieved."

"…"

When she heard this, she realized that Lin Jiashu was speaking for her, and she immediately felt relaxed.

She really wasn't good at saying no.

Especially since Wakamatsu Toshihide, this big guy liked to talk to himself and didn't give her a chance to answer. It even seemed that every time she wanted to refuse, he would interrupt her at the right time.

Brother Yoshiki has said this on my behalf, so the other party should be able to understand, right?

Mouri Ran secretly looked next to Hayashi Yoshiki, and saw Wakamatsu Toshihide holding the chopsticks tightly and not saying a word. Although his face looked unhappy, he did not get angry.

The other college students also realized that it was Wakamatsu Toshihide who was shamelessly and forcefully inviting the two high school sisters to come to the party.

In order to avoid an ugly situation from getting into an argument, Sekiya Kaori quickly laughed it off and changed the subject.

"But this sushi is really delicious. Did your mother make it herself?"

"Haha, it must have been put on the plate after being bought." Minagawa Katsuhiko snorted.

"Then I must ask which restaurant the sushi is from, because it's really delicious."

"You two high school sisters should eat more too."

"Come to think of it, we were the ones just talking about ourselves, so is Hayashi-Sensei also single?" Watanabe Haomi's words made Suzuki Sonoko's eyes light up suddenly - she had wanted to ask this question several times just now.

"Yes, I'm single."

"But you look like you have no shortage of girls." Minawaga Katsuhiko lit a cigarette.

"No way, after all, I haven't met the right one yet."

"Then! Brother Yoshiki, what kind of girl do you like?" Suzuki Sonoko asked impatiently.

Mouri Ran also looked at him with some curiosity.

"Well, she should be mature and considerate, and have good taste in clothes." Hayashi Yoshiki said with a smile, "Of course, being attractive is also important."

"Mature..."

Suzuki Sonoko thought about herself and suddenly felt a little discouraged.

Her obvious behavior caused Sekiya Kaori to tease:

"Little sister, it's more important to focus on your grades now."

"Tch."

Suzuki Sonoko turned her face away.

Everyone was eating and chatting and laughing, but the usually carefree Wakamatsu Toshihide was now completely silent, just like the gloomy boy Tanaka Naomichi who had ignored everyone at the beginning.

When they had finished eating the food, Minagawa Katsuhiko put down his beer glass with a "pop" and looked at the gloomy man who had been eating with chopsticks in his hand

"Okay, we've almost finished eating. Hey, Naomichi, come and give us a show!"

"..."

Tanaka Naomichi paused and looked at the other party, "Sorry, I don't know what to perform. I'm not good at this kind of thing."

"Ha?"

Minagawa Katsuhiko's brows immediately raised, and there was even annoyance in his eyes: "Do you know what you are talking about!?"

"Sorry..."

Tanaka Naomichi lowered his head.

At this moment, a little boy about five or six years old suddenly ran out of the house and climbed onto the sofa behind everyone.

"Mom, I want to play with everyone here, too, okay!"

the boy called to the young woman who was just coming out of the kitchen with a tray.

As a result, his voice immediately made Minagawa Katsuhiko turn around: "Hey! Susumu, go back to your room! Don't come over here and get in the way."

"…"

The boy shrank his head when he was scolded.

His mother was squatting at the dining table, trying to persuade Minagawa Katsuhiko not to be so angry, but he got up and left with his lighter and cigarette, swearing.

"Hey, Katsuhiko!"

His childhood sweetheart, Sekiya Kaori, immediately chased after him.

"What's wrong with Mr. Minagawa all of a sudden?"

"His temper suddenly becomes so bad."

Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran were whispering.

Hayashi Yoshiki was not surprised. Some people tend to become emotional once they drink.

Look at that gloomy boy called Naomichi. He is obviously out of tune with this circle but still comes to this party. Maybe he was forced to come.

After all, Minagawa Katsuhiko is the "club president" and his family is rich... In Japanese social relations, there is indeed a hierarchy between superiors and subordinates.

Hayashi Yoshiki didn't like the smell of cigarettes left by Minagawa Katsuhiko, so he simply stood up and walked to the glass door behind him that led directly to the yard, intending to open it to let in some fresh air.

As a result, as soon as he walked to the glass, he ran into Conan who was hiding in the bushes in the yard and sticking his head out.

"…"

"…"

The two sides looked at each other, and Conan gradually retracted his head, trying to pretend nothing had happened.

But Hayashi Yoshiki pushed the door open.

"Why are you here?" he asked first, and then seemed to think of something, "Did you follow me here?"

"I'm not following you!" Conan stuck his head out and shouted.

"…"

Hayashi Yoshiki just stared at him.

Gradually, Conan began to feel guilty and lowered his head.

In fact, he heard that Mouri Ran was going to attend the Valentine's Day party with Hayashi Yoshiki, which made him instantly jealous.

When Conan was silent, Hayashi Yoshiki couldn't help but remain silent for the people in the room: the Grim Reaper had followed them here personally, and if nothing unexpected happened, someone would probably have to die to liven up the atmosphere.
