After returning to the room, Geng Si asked, “When is curfew?”
“What?
Oh, from ten at night until five-thirty tomorrow morning,” Rudolf said.
“Oh.”
Geng Si glanced at her phone.
“It’s seven now.
I want to go out and buy some things.”
“Okay,” Rudolf said with a nod.
At that moment, Geng Si turned to look at Rudolf and smiled.
“When are you planning to sleep?”
“Eh?”
Rudolf froze for a moment.
Suddenly, Geng Si felt that Rudolf looked very cute.
She smiled and repeated, “I said, when are you planning to sleep?”
“Well, I can sleep a little later,” Rudolf said, not quite understanding what Geng Si meant.
Geng Si snapped her fingers.
“I just want you to try some Chinese food I make.”
“Haha, I didn’t expect you to know how to cook,” Rudolf said with a smile.
“That’s right.
Every boy and girl in a Chinese family has to learn how to cook, because even if you don’t want to learn, your family will force you to,” Geng Si teased.
“Hahahaha.”
“All right, all right.
I’m heading out first.”
“Come back early.”
Just as she went downstairs, reached the entrance, and changed her shoes, Geng Si noticed another Uma Musume coming down the stairs.
This Uma Musume looked small, and her black hair covered one of her eyes.
What stood out most was the small purple hat sitting on the hair that covered her eye, along with a blue rose decoration.
Although Geng Si was socially anxious, they had run into each other face-to-face in such a narrow place, so she smiled at Rice Shower and said, “Hello.”
Rice Shower had not expected the person in front of her to speak to her.
Just as she was about to say something, her foot slipped.
Geng Si noticed it and instantly rushed forward a few steps.
With one hand gripping the railing, she directly wrapped her other arm around Rice Shower, who was about to fall.
“Phew…
The physical abilities of Uma Musume really are absurd…”
“And her body is so small and soft…”
“Damn, now I suddenly feel like a pervert…”
Of course, Geng Si was not the only one whose mind was racing.
Rice Shower, who was being held in Geng Si’s arms, was also in complete turmoil.
Geng Si felt Rice Shower trembling in her arms and was so startled that she quickly let go, hurriedly apologizing.
“Ah!
Sorry, sorry!”
“N-No, it was Rice’s fault…”
As Rice Shower spoke, she took a few steps back.
Then, she quickly ran down the stairs and disappeared from Geng Si’s sight.
“Rice?” Geng Si muttered, but still hurriedly followed after her.
“Whoa, how can such a small body run so fast?
Why couldn’t I run like that when I was little?”
Geng Si gritted her teeth and suddenly accelerated, becoming even faster.
Rice Shower felt the footsteps behind her growing louder and louder.
She turned back to look at Geng Si, only to see Geng Si’s eyes suddenly fill with fear.
Her speed also increased sharply, and then she lunged forward, grabbing Rice Shower in her arms and skidding to a stop.
A car drove past right in front of them.
The driver rolled down the window and said with extreme speechlessness, “Hey, you two young ladies, even if you’re Uma Musume, you shouldn’t be running that fast, right?”
“Ah, sorry, sorry.”
“As long as you’re okay.”
After saying that, the driver left.
Geng Si let out a breath in relief, then said, “Rice, why were you in such a hurry?”
Geng Si released her arms, and Rice Shower hurriedly bowed to her.
“Ah, it was Rice’s fault…”
“I’m not saying it was your fault.
You didn’t do anything wrong,” Geng Si said with a frown.
Geng Si noticed that Rice Shower’s condition seemed off, so she quickly stepped forward, took her hand, and asked, “Rice, what’s wrong?”
“Uu…
It was clearly Rice’s fault.
Rice almost fell down the stairs, and then Rice almost ran into a car…”
After hearing that, for some reason, Geng Si felt a little guilty.
Why did it sound like everything was her fault when Rice said it like that…?
No, wait.
It really did seem to be her fault…
“Rice, this was clearly my fault,” Geng Si said with an awkward smile.
Hearing that, Rice Shower looked at Geng Si with tearful eyes and asked in confusion, “Geng Si-san…
are you close with Rice?”
“Ah?”
Geng Si froze for a moment.
Rice Shower continued, “Then why…
has Geng Si-san been calling me Rice this whole time?”
“Isn’t Rice your name?”
Rice Shower seemed to realize something and hurriedly bent forward in a bow.
“Ah, hello.
My name is Rice Shower.”
“Ah, this…”
Geng Si froze for a moment, then glanced down at her own prominent chest.
“That’s right!
I’m an Uma Musume now.
I’m living in the girls’ dormitory, so what I did earlier should actually be more or less fine.”
Now was the time to test her emotional intelligence…
“Mm, Rice Shower, we can be considered acquainted now.
After going through all that together, can I call you Rice?”
You can.”
Rice Shower said this while holding both hands in front of her chest.
It was a classic defensive posture, and Geng Si could see it clearly.
“She’s a very insecure Uma Musume…
And judging from earlier…”
Geng Si took out her phone and glanced at it.
They had run for about…
five minutes.
Although it could not really be considered high-intensity, she could still feel just how ridiculous the physique of an Uma Musume was.
“Rice, do you have something you need to do?”
“I…
I just wanted to run a little more before ten…”
“Ah, I see.
Rice, would you come buy some things with me?”
Geng Si took the initiative to invite her.
After all, no matter how she thought about it, it had been her fault.
She might as well treat Rice Shower to a meal or something.
For her, whenever she had a conflict with one of her bros, treating them to a meal usually fixed everything.
“A late-night snack, huh…
What should I make?”
After hearing her invitation, Rice Shower nodded.
“Okay.”
“Then let’s go.”
A while later, after deciding what to make, Geng Si took Rice Shower to buy some ingredients.
She also bought some rice along the way.
The two of them did not talk much on the way.
Most of the time, Geng Si spoke, and Rice Shower answered.
After they returned to the dormitory together, Rice Shower bowed to Geng Si.
“Geng Si-san, goodbye.”
“Eh?
Rice.”
“Oh?”
Rice Shower turned back.
With both hands held in front of her, she asked timidly, “Ah, is there something else?”
“Ahaha, don’t be scared.
I just wanted to invite Rice to try the food I’m going to make…”
“Thank you, but no.”
“Does Rice not like me?” Geng Si asked, putting on a somewhat hurt expression.
“No, Rice likes Geng Si-san very much.”
“Hehe, then come on.
You can even take a portion back for your roommate to eat.
Come on, come on.”
