Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2276 - 1017: He Comes from Kyushu!

The sea breeze blows, making the rooftop at dusk cool down a bit, with a hint of chill.

Goto Mariko wanted to greet him, but seeing that boy staring seriously at the baseball field, she instinctively closed her mouth.

A few girls in class liked those Tokyo idols and pulled Goto Mariko to watch them.

To be honest, Goto Mariko couldn’t understand what was handsome about those effeminate idols; she felt they couldn’t even compare to the seniors who played baseball every day and sweated a lot.

But now, Goto Mariko finally realized that some boys could be so handsome that just one look could make her heart race.

Lin Baici was wearing a pair of light blue jeans. He was tall with long legs; with the jeans fitting snugly, his legs seemed even longer.

On his upper body, he wore a white round-neck vest, with a light sun-protection shirt over it, and a pair of sneakers on his feet, making him look clean and relaxed.

He gave off the feeling of a bottle of sea salt soda, with a flavor so mild but, once tasting it, the carbonation bubbles would explode on the tip of one’s tongue, tickling it.

"His profile looks so good!"

If it weren’t for having seen Lin Baici’s full-face at noon, Goto Mariko might have wanted Lin Baici to stay in that pose forever, without moving.

Because she feared that after seeing the full-face, the boy might be ugly, and it would be a pity.

Goto Mariko stopped walking, she wanted to take out her phone and take a picture, but worried it might offend him.

The big boy heard some noise,

turned around.

His gaze was intense, like Venus glimmering after the sunset, and the smile creeping from the corner of his mouth was like waves stirred by the sea, bringing the sound of waves crashing on the heart.

"Hello!"

Hearing him greet her, Goto Mariko quickly folded her hands in front of her abdomen and bowed to Lin Baici.

"Hello!"

Lin Baici turned back to look at the field: "Your school’s baseball team is impressive!"

Polite words create distance; casual conversation, especially about topics the other person knows, not only eases their tension but also shortens the distance between each other, creating common topics.

In short, pick a familiar topic, preferably one they are proud of.

Sure enough, Goto Mariko laughed, feeling somewhat proud: "They made it to Koshien last year!"

"Koshien, do you know it?"

Though they only advanced a round, it’s still impressive.

"I know, it’s very famous."

Lin Baici smiled, "I also know Uesugi Tatsuya and Asakura Minami!"

Goto Mariko discreetly took a few deep breaths, walked over, stood four or five meters away next to Lin Baici, watching together.

Seeing Goto Mariko’s interest in the topic, Lin Baici immediately added.

"Is that your star pitcher?"

Lin Baici praised, "His right hand is very strong, stronger than most adults."

"Yes, that’s Yoshida!"

Goto Mariko didn’t expect Lin Baici’s eyesight to be so good: "After graduating high school, he should join a professional baseball team!"

"I’m so envious of those who have set their life goals in high school and strive for them!"

Lin Baici reflected, asking: "What about you?"

Previous topics were warm-ups; it ultimately needs to turn to the girl so they can get acquainted quickly.

"Me?"

Goto Mariko appeared a bit confused and slightly flustered, thought for a moment, and then lowered her head admitting: "I don’t know!"

"I might go to university in the Capital City? But I don’t want to leave this island!"

Goto Mariko looked towards the distant coastline.

"Afraid of big cities?"

Lin Baici casually probed, if she refused to answer or showed impatience, he would change the topic immediately.

If the topic could continue, that means she isn’t very wary of him, and discussing a topic she cares about can accelerate relationship development.

Simply put, sharing secrets, discussing secrets, and then acknowledging her secret, this way you become confidants.

"I don’t know!"

Goto Mariko didn’t avoid it, clearly a sincere girl: "I’ve never been out!"

"When I went to high school, it was far from home, at that time I was nervous too, but after a while, I got used to it!"

Lin Baici chuckled: "You’re still young, going to different places and experiencing life is a good choice!"

"Even if things don’t go well, at worst, you can always come back!"

"Being young gives you a chance to start over!"

Goto Mariko felt this older brother’s thoughts were mature: "Are you here as a tourist?"

"I attend university in Haijing, got a bit bored, so I want to become a travel blogger, then I thought and picked this small island where almost no foreign tourists come!"

Lin Baici explained: "The aim is to experience it in its original form!"

"Is university life in Kyushu easy?"

Goto Mariko was curious.

"It’s alright, overall, it should be a happy four years!"

Lin Baici directed the topic back to the girl: "What about you? Any hobbies?"

When interacting with girls, let them talk more about themselves, instead of talking excessively yourself.

"Me?"

Goto Mariko fell silent.

"I saw you swim well!"

Lin Baici complimented.

Upon hearing this, Goto Mariko blushed, feeling embarrassed, since yesterday she had drowned and he had rescued her.

"You just lacked stamina, that’s why yesterday happened!"

Lin Baici kindly remarked: "Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a chance for me to step in!"
