You two are really loyal fans of my restaurant, aren&#8217;t you? I have you guys here often all these years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I smile at the owner and sit down with Frances at the door.<\/p>\n<p>I frown and whisper to Frances, &#8220;Why do you bring me here? I&#8217;ve no appetite.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Only now do I realize that it is noon, and I am indeed a little hungry.<\/p>\n<p>So, when the owner comes to take the orders, I order a fried rice.<\/p>\n<p>Frances orders the same.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re here to see if it can help you remember.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Frances stares into my eyes and smiles meaningfully.<\/p>\n<p>Damn it! He just won&#8217;t tell me!<\/p>\n<p>I ignore him and pour a cup of tea for myself.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Frances starts to speak.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t you remember that you had chased me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I am startled and the water in my mouth sprays onto Frances\u2019 face.<\/p>\n<p>Frances&#8217; face darkened right away.<\/p>\n<p>Holy crap! I&#8217;m screwed!<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not my fault.<\/p>\n<p>His words are so shocking!<\/p>\n<p>Frances suppresses his anger as he wipes the water off his face with a napkin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even if you don&#8217;t remember, you don&#8217;t have to do this to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I purse my lips and say, &#8220;Hey, it&#8217;s not my fault. You&#8217;re the one talking nonsense, OK? How come I used to chase you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly my heart rippled and wanted to have a try.<\/p>\n<p>So, with the encouragement of all my friends, I went to confess to that boy.<\/p>\n<p>But one should bring some gift when they confess. I asked a bunch of friends, and they told me that if I cared about a man, I should start from his body.<\/p>\n<p>And it suddenly hit me that the advertisement had said that Viagra was good for men.<\/p>\n<p>So I stopped the boy one day after school. I gave him a bottle of Viagra and asked him to be my boyfriend.<\/p>\n<p>The boy was obviously surprised. And I ran away because of shyness.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, I was mocked by a group of friends for a long time because of the Viagra. And that was why I had never showed up in the high school department again.<\/p>\n<p>This memory was so embarrassing that I chose to shield it.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Frances suddenly brings it up&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I gulp with nervousness and look at Frances with a sad face. &#8220;You are not saying that you are that boy, aren&#8217;t you?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-460","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
