"Can you please not be like this?" Yang Xiao said with a wry smile. "We're all classmates. Let's not resort to physical force. We're not enemies."
"Anyone who deceives me is my enemy." Bakugo Katsuki didn't continue attacking but stared at Yang Xiao and said, "Don't let me face you next time!"
"Let it go, it won't happen." Yang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and ran away immediately.
He probably wouldn't have to face Bakugo Katsuki next time, unless it was during the Sports Festival, but that was still a long way off, so he didn't need to worry.
Now that the USJ incident was approaching, he had to improve his strength; otherwise, he needed to be prepared to respond in case of an emergency.
Bakugo Katsuki snorted as he watched Yang Xiao run away. He had to defeat with his own hands anyone who deceived and obstructed him.
After school, Yang Xiao prepared to leave and report to the Yorozuya. This was his life now—besides being at U.A. High School, he was also at the Yorozuya.
However, after spending these days with his classmates, their relationships had improved a lot, and some classmates even expressed a good impression of Yang Xiao.
Especially Denki Kaminari, who was originally unaware of the situation, found out that Yang Xiao had fought with the recommended student Shoto Todoroki and came out unscathed. Although Yang Xiao had surrendered, it was still quite surprising.
"Hey, hey, Yang Xiao-kun, let's go eat ramen together?" Denki Kaminari caught up to Yang Xiao with his backpack on.
"Ramen?" Yang Xiao's eyes lit up. It had been a while since he'd eaten ramen, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to a ramen shop. The noodles there are delicious."
"Great!" Kaminari said happily, putting one hand on Yang Xiao's shoulder as they walked out of the school.
After exiting the school gate, there was a long slope. Looking forward from the slope, you could see the city buildings below, houses close together. Looking further ahead, there was the endless sea, which had a unique charm.
But don't be fooled into thinking the sea was very close; it was actually some distance from the beach.
It didn't take long to get from the Yorozuya to the beach. Yang Xiao had run on the beach several times. The smell of seawater mixed with a light breeze made people feel incredibly refreshed.
"We're here. This is the ramen shop." Yang Xiao pointed at the large sign in front of them.
"'Fat Brother's Bowl of Ramen'?" Kaminari repeated.
"It seems you haven't been here before. Let's go in." Yang Xiao opened the door and walked in. The fat boss was making ramen at the time. When he looked up and saw Yang Xiao coming in, he said warmly, "Long time no see."
"Yes, I've been very busy lately, but I brought a friend to eat today." Yang Xiao said with a smile.
At that moment, Denki Kaminari walked in, and the fat boss immediately said with a smile, "Welcome, welcome, please have a seat inside."
Yang Xiao didn't hesitate and took Kaminari to a corner seat. He showed him the menu and said, "Order whatever you want. It's my treat today."
"Hahaha, Yang Xiao, you're really rich!" Kaminari said excitedly, but he wasn't the type to take advantage of free meals: "I'll treat you next time."
"Okay, I've just been working part-time recently, so I can't say I'm making much money." Yang Xiao waved his hand. Although he was working part-time, his salary was much higher than that of an ordinary office worker, especially after entering the core of the Yorozuya.
"Yang Xiao-kun has a part-time job?" Kaminari said after taking off the headphones hanging around his neck. "Generally, high school students have part-time jobs, but not many. After all, this age is for studying. It's more common for college students to work part-time."
"I just want to make my life better." Yang Xiao didn't say more. He pointed to the menu and said, "Hurry up and order the noodles."
Kaminari nodded and started looking at the menu, but he was still thinking about Yang Xiao's part-time job. Judging by Yang Xiao's clothes, they weren't expensive, but Yang Xiao was quite generous, so Kaminari wondered if Yang Xiao's family was well-off.
However, in the end, Kaminari didn't ask about Yang Xiao's family situation. Although they were friends now, they weren't very close yet.
"Boss, one bowl of tonkotsu kimchi ramen and one bowl of beef spicy wing ramen!" Yang Xiao said after waving the menu in his hand. "Oh, and give me a glass of shochu."
"Huh?" Kaminari looked at Yang Xiao in surprise. "Are you sure? We can't drink at our age."
"Having a little drink is no problem. Don't tell me you've never had shochu before?" Yang Xiao showed a look of disdain. Kaminari immediately said, "Of course I have, but only at home. I've never had it outside."
Kaminari was also very confused as to why someone would drink alcohol while eating ramen.
Actually, although Yang Xiao was an otaku in his previous life, he also liked to express his emotions. He would drink some alcohol and then open a certain BILIBILI to watch exciting content, which made it more thrilling. However, he wasn't a fujoshi but a straight guy.
Maybe Yang Xiao had been under a lot of pressure recently, so he wanted to drink to relieve stress. However, in the end, the fat boss didn't give Yang Xiao shochu but a bottle of soda.
"It's better for you to drink beverages at your age. Wait a few years before drinking." The fat boss was concerned about Yang Xiao's health.
"Hahaha, and you were pretending to drink! Now you're done." Kaminari laughed, opened the soda, clinked it with Yang Xiao's drink, and started drinking it himself.
Yang Xiao just smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating the ramen. It seemed that if he wanted to drink, he could only drink with Gin-san at the Yorozuya.
"This noodle tastes really good..." Kaminari said happily after taking a few bites. For someone like him, born and raised in Japan, he had eaten too much ramen, but most ramen no longer whetted his appetite. The main reason was that Japanese ramen had too few distinctive features and was mostly the same.
But this ramen shop was different. He had never eaten here before. Just by looking at the name "Fat Brother's Ramen," he knew that if he passed by this shop, he wouldn't go in because it seemed too ordinary.
So, you could only know if it was really delicious by tasting it yourself. Unexpectedly, this Fat Brother's ramen tasted really good, different from most ramen shops in Japan.
After the two finished eating ramen, Yang Xiao specifically told Kaminari that the drink was a gift from the boss. Since it was their first time, there wouldn't be such a discount next time.
"Boss, I'll come here often in the future!" Kaminari laughed and thanked the fat boss.
However, some of the noodles in this shop were a bit expensive. For students like Kaminari, eating here once a week was good enough. Eating too much would leave him short on money.
After the meal, Yang Xiao and Kaminari parted ways and went home. He then walked all the way to the Yorozuya to report. There had been a lot of work at the Yorozuya recently, so he needed to be more careful.
