It seems like they’ll send the tailored clothes to Lian’s mansion once they are finished.
By the time we leave the tailor shop, the sun is already setting.
On our way back to the carriage parked beside the store, my nostrils pick up a delicious scent emanating from a stall.
Lian notices it as well and makes known his hunger. So we decide to stop by that stall.
A stall that sells ordinary toasted sandwiches.
It comes with pita bread and we can order as many fillings as we liked.
Mine is stuffed with roasted meat, sliced ham, and vegetables, while Lian’s is packed full of honey, berries, and beans that taste sweet after cooked.
I’m about to laugh out loud at the sight, but somehow manage to fight the urge.
Lian surprisingly has a sweet tooth.
I already had a feeling that he’ll choose that kind of filling. But I just kept it to myself, since he’s bound to get angry if I say it out loud.
He already purchased so many things for me. Even if they are all for work purposes. That’s why I decide to treat him this time.
Since Lian says that he wants to buy one for Shurio as well, I ask the stall owner to pack up a sandwich just like mine for take out.
Lian… is always generous with his money when it comes to other people.
That includes me, Marie, the kids, his other friends, the people of his estate, and so on.
Lian also buys two small bottles of carbonated fruit juice. Afterward, we sit side by side on a simple bench beside the stall. And we feast.
“It’s been a while since I last bought food from a street stall,” Lian mutters, sounding slightly peppy. His expression holds a trace of nostalgia.
“Really?”
“Uh huh. After all, it’s a little weird for me to eat alone, right?”
I don’t really care whether I eat by myself or with people. But it seems like it’s embarrassing for Lian.
“Also, I don’t have anyone who I can bring along to eat at this kind of place…”
“Really? How about that trio that’s always sticking to you??”
“Umm, they don’t really eat things from… places like this…”
Ah… I see.
Since they are born from a rich family, they may not like these “plebeian and cheap” items sold at roadside stalls.
“If you want to eat this again, I can accompany you. Just let me know.”
“S-seriously!?”
“Yeah.” When I nod, Lian subconsciously bows to me in excitement, his face bright with joy.
“O-oh… Thank you…” He flashes me a bashful smile, as color creeps over his cheeks.
Looks like Lian is embarrassed at his actions.
This is a face that only I know. A smile that other people shouldn’t have seen before.
Only for my eyes.
I want to touch him so much that I can’t stand it anymore. I press my lips against his.
His face burns red. “What will you do if someone saw us!” he scolds.
I don’t care if other people see us, but I’m sure he’ll get even angrier if I say that. So I don’t voice out my honest thoughts.
After all, there are a lot of people aiming for Lian at school.
