Chapter 645: What’s the Exclusive Nickname?
"Remember."
This arrangement wasn't too complicated and was very easy to remember.
"Don't let anything slip when the time comes, or I'll be in trouble." Asumi emphasized.
Although it didn't matter if Ren leaked the secret, her father still believed that she and Ren were a couple, so she had to take it seriously.
"Um."
As long as he answered honestly according to the arrangement, Ren shouldn't make any mistakes.
"This isn't enough. Let's discuss another arrangement, so my dad won't ask about something else and our answers won't be consistent."
To be cautious, Asumi suggested again.
"Yes."
Ren agreed obediently.
He didn't quite understand what he should do to pretend to be a couple, so he chose to follow her orders.
"Let's discuss the issue of nicknames first. I always call you Kouhai-kun. What do you think, should I call you something more intimate in front of my dad?"
After thinking for a moment, Asumi posed a new question.
"Like Miku, what if I call you Ren?"
"Everything will be fine."
Ren never cared much about this aspect of address.
"You can call me whatever you want. We're pretending to be a fake couple, and the nickname is very important." Asumi said very carefully, "Anyway, I'll try calling you Ren first, and then you can call me Asumi."
"Okay."
Ren agreed.
Hesitantly, Asumi called out, "Ren?"
"What is it, Asumi?" Ren replied.
"...No, I'll keep calling you Kouhai-kun, and you can call me Asumi-senpai."
After a moment of silence, Asumi let go of the idea of changing their nicknames.
The main reason was she felt too uncomfortable calling him Ren, and she couldn't accept him calling her Asumi.
It sounded awkward.
And because he knew she worked at a maid café, when he called her Asumi, she always had the illusion that he was calling her Asumi-chan.
"Oh, okay." Ren said indifferently.
"When my dad asks why we address each other as senior and junior, just say it's an exclusive title between us, and we're used to it and there's no way to change it."
After thinking for a moment, Asumi made an explanation that sounded reasonable.
"Exclusive nickname?"
Ren repeated the phrase.
"Is there anything inappropriate about this?" Asumi didn't expect to ask this question here.
"No, there isn't."
Ren shook his head.
He was just thinking about the nickname Gabriel had written for him.
[My neighbor Ren]
Would this be considered an exclusive nickname Gabriel had for him?
That had to be considered, right?
After all, only Gabriel lived next to him.
Although Kirisu Mafuyu lived on the same floor as him, at most they were neighbors, not neighbors at all.
"Senpai, does calling each other with unique terms mean the two people's relationship is very close?" Ren was a little worried about this issue.
"Isn't that normal? An exclusive nickname can only be called by one person." Asumi answered casually, "Why else would I set a nickname between us."
"I see."
If that was the issue, Ren would understand why Gabriel called him that in the letter.
After thinking for a moment, Ren asked again, "Is an exclusive nickname only used between lovers?"
"As long as the relationship is good enough, it can be used, right?" Asumi wasn't so sure about this issue, "It should be able to be used in relationships like lovers, best friends, friends, etc."
"Thank you." Ren said thanks.
He and Gabriel were good friends, so it made sense if she used a special nickname for him.
"Any more questions? If there are no more questions, we'll discuss the next setting." Asumi asked.
"No more." Ren answered.
"Okay then..."
So, Asumi discussed another arrangement with him.
For example, the first time they held hands, the first kiss, the place they most frequently visited when dating, etc.
After spending an hour thinking about answers to some questions her father might ask beforehand, Asumi felt relieved.
If nothing else happened, she should be able to deceive her father 100% when facing him tomorrow.
"I almost forgot, I haven't made you breakfast."
At this moment, Asumi suddenly remembered the incident and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Because they were discussing their relationship, she accidentally forgot.
In a sense, she was really incompetent as a girlfriend.
······
1:50 PM, Angel Cafe.
This time Ren arrived here ten minutes early.
After entering the café, ignoring the warm greetings from the waitstaff, he began searching in Angel Cafe.
Great, Miku wasn't in the café.
Because when he made plans to meet Hayasaka Ai here before, he always arrived early, but Hayasaka came earlier than him.
This moment made him wonder if he had made a mistake in his common sense in making appointments.
But now it seemed like his common sense wasn't wrong, Hayasaka was wrong.
Ren found a clearer place to sit so Miku could see him once she entered the café.
After casually ordering a cup of coffee, he began waiting for Miku to arrive.
In a few minutes, the door of Angel Cafe opened again, and Miku walked in wearing a blue wool sweater and black stockings, holding a beautifully wrapped gift box in her hands.
After surveying the café, Miku spotted Ren sitting by the window, pointing towards him.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Walking towards him, sitting across from him, and placing the gift box on the table, Miku apologized softly.
Because this was her first time visiting this café, she had to rely on phone to navigate there, so she had to take many detours.
"It's okay, it's only 1:57, it's not even 2 yet."
After looking at the clock hanging on the café wall, Ren said casually.
Although Miku was late and didn't arrive on time, it didn't matter, he still had plenty of time to wait.
