Because of metabolism,
After becoming The Flash, Bari Allen had to eat a lot of food every day if he didn't want to faint due to complete metabolic failure caused by acute hypoglycemia while running.
However, Bari didn't want to attract unnecessary attention and suspicion because of his large appetite,
So when he ate in "My Chinese Restaurant", even if he didn't eat enough at every meal,
He insisted on only ordering the normal weight of an ordinary man.
What?
You asked Bari if he could control himself?
..
..
..
Of course, he couldn't control himself!
When he saw Issou handing him the fragrant and tempting radish cake,
Bari seemed to have forgotten the bowls and plates on the table that he had already eaten.
"Try it."
Issou pretended not to see the moment of embarrassment after Bari shook his head and changed his mind. She put the steamer in front of him,
"This is radish cake. You should eat radishes, right?"
“Yep,
Of course, I'm not picky about what you make. "
Bari picked up a piece of radish cake and put it into his mouth,
The fried skin was golden and crispy,
With a bite, one could hear a crisp crunching sound. The radish cake inside was soft and delicious. Probably because of the addition of the powder, it also had a bit of a springy taste.
He stuffed the remaining half of the radish cake into his mouth,
When he was chewing in his mouth,
There was no strange taste of radishes in his mouth,
Instead, there was a slight sweetness,
Coupled with the fried bacon and shrimp cubes,
The salty fragrance was so delicious that one couldn't stop eating.
"Issou,
You're really good. "
Bari looked at Issou,
On his face,
His eyes were full of admiration. "I've never eaten anything better than what you make."
Perhaps it was because Barry wasn't a person who knew how to flatter, so his words sounded particularly sincere. Hearing this, Izu couldn't help but curl her lips. She said, "That's really too much of a coincidence, because I've never eaten anything better than what I made."
Bari, who did not expect Issou to answer like this, was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh. He said, "That's quite a coincidence."
As he spoke, Bari remembered what Issou said to him before the meal. He asked, "Uh, Issou, you just said that you had something to say to me after dinner. What's the matter?"
"Emm, yes." Seeing that Bari took the initiative to mention it, Issou did not intend to keep him in suspense. She opened her mouth and said, "But what I want to say to you is – do you have something to tell me?"
Hearing Issou's words, Bari was stunned for a moment, "Wha, what?"
He looked at the black-haired girl in front of him and frowned in confusion. He didn't know if Issou didn't express herself clearly, or if he didn't understand Issou's meaning.
"Every time you see me, you look like you want to say something but stop. Don't you have something to tell me? Or do you have any questions to ask me? "
Issou looked at Bari. To be honest, her curiosity had been completely aroused by him for the past few days, okay? However, he only looked at her with a hesitant expression. Every time she thought he would speak, he would lower his head and eat again.
Issou, "…"
How could she be so seductive!?
She would put up a sign in front of "My Chinese Restaurant", and it would read —
Forbid Bari Allen from entering!?
"Erm …" Hearing Issou speak so bluntly, Bari's ears burned a little. In fact, he thought he had hidden it well, but he didn't expect Issou to see through it all.
But since that was the case, he decided to say it directly, "I do have something to ask you, but this question might be a little offensive …"
Seeing that Bari was a little nervous, Issou said, "It's okay, ask away."
"Uh," Bari looked at Issou and asked, "Issou, how old are you?"
Issou, "…???"
"Wait!" When Issou heard Bari's words, he was stunned for a moment, "Bari, you want to ask about my age?"
Seeing Izu's reaction, Barry hurriedly explained, "I know that this question is indeed very offensive, and is even very rude to a lady, but …"
"No, no, no."
Issou interrupted him, "This has nothing to do with being offensive or rude, I just feel that … it's a little unexpected. You've been struggling for so long these days just to ask me this question?"
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Bari really made his heart itch, Issou would never have taken the initiative to ask him this question, because he looked like he wanted to ask him something embarrassing, but now …
Issou, "…"
Sigh.
He was inexplicably a little disappointed.
"Yes." Bari nodded. Seeing that Issou was puzzled, he explained, "It's like this, I've seen someone before, and she looks a lot like you, so I want to know if the person I've seen before is you."
"Before?" Issou shook his head when he heard this. Even when he said that the person looked a lot like her, she still said, "Impossible."
Seeing Issou's firm answer, Bari was a little confused, "Issou, are you so sure?"
Of course.
Hearing Bari's words, Issou replied silently in his heart. She had only broken the Dimension Wall recently, okay? If Bari was not The Flash, then the person he met before might be her.
But he was The Flash.
Before the Dimension Wall was broken, Bari Allen was just a fictional superhero in comics/animations to her.
However, Issou could not say this out loud, so she could only say, "I just think that if we really met before, it's impossible that I don't have any impression of you."
"But she really looks a lot like you."
Bari said to Issou, "In fact, when I first came to 'My Chinese Restaurant' and saw you, I felt that you looked a lot like her. At first, I thought I had mistaken you for someone else, but after interacting with you a few more times, I realized that you even look the same when you smile."
"Wow."
Bari's words surprised Issou a little. Although she felt that the person he saw in the past was definitely not her, hearing him say this, she was a little uncertain, so she asked, "Okay, then when do you mean 'in the past'?"
Perhaps this specific time could evoke her memory?
Hearing this, Bari said, "When I was young."
Issou, "…???"
Wait a minute!
What did he say?!
The black-haired girl looked at Bari and asked word by word, "You just said — when you were young?"
"Yes." Although he did not know why Issou asked this, Bari nodded and said, "To be precise, it should be when I was eleven."
Issou, "…!!!"
No wonder he asked how old she was!
Did he think that she only looked young?!
The black-haired girl blinked and asked, "Bari, do you remember what you said after you asked me how old I was?"
"Uh..." Bari thought for a moment, "I know that this question is indeed very offensive, and even rude to a girl..."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I said."
Issou interrupted Bari and said, "You're right, it was indeed very offensive and rude, so I've decided to take back my radish cake!"
With that said, the black-haired girl took back the remaining half of the radish cake and gave Bari a super fierce expression.
Bari, who was inexplicably scolded, "…???"
Barry, who had no idea what he had done wrong, looked at Izzo. His expression was a little confused, but also a little helpless and innocent.
Issou, "..."
Wow.
Did he think that he could make her forgive him just because he was cute?
...
...
...
Issou looked at Bari and frowned unconsciously. His warm eyes flashed with confusion, and his slightly drooping eyebrows made him look a little pitiful.
He was obviously 1.88 meters tall, but the expression on his face made him look like a panicked little puppy.
Okay.
It's okay.
Looking at the mascot of the Justice League in front of him, Issou asked, "Bari, how old are you this year?"
Bari answered obediently, "Twenty-four."
"Very good."
Issou said, "You're twenty-four years old now, and you were eleven years old, which is thirteen years ago. Think about it, I'm only twenty-one years old this year, how old was I thirteen years ago? So how could the person you saw when you were young be me? "
"That's true." Bari looked at Issou, "But you do look very similar."
To what extent?
It was enough for Bari to ignore all the other unreasonable points.
Issou raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that the person you saw was my mother?"
Although the possibility was not high, the only person who looked like her was probably her mother. With that said, Issou took out his phone and showed Bari a photo of his mother.
Bari took a look and shook his head, "No."
Although Issou and his mother looked quite similar, the two had different personalities and temperaments, so the feeling they gave off was naturally different. Bari was very sure that the person he saw when he was young was definitely not Issou's mother.
"Maybe I really made a mistake."
Although he did not get the answer he wanted from Issou, Bari was already mentally prepared, so he was not too disappointed.
But...
Recalling Issou's words, Bari realized how he made the girl angry. He looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, Issou."
Seeing the black-haired girl look at him, Bari said sincerely, "It's my fault, you are indeed a young and beautiful girl."
"Okay."
Issou curled his lips, "I forgive you."
Hearing this, Bari laughed. He looked at her with an embarrassed expression and said, "Uh, then can I continue eating the radish cake?"
Issou, "..."
