Tian Tong Xing casually threw her phone to the corner of the sofa and yawned lazily.

She felt a little guilty for accidentally interrupting Zhaoyan and her boyfriend's intimacy.

Cat King meowed and trotted to Tian Tong Xing's side. It intimately rubbed its furry little head against her calf.

Tian Tong Xing bent down and hugged Cat King into her arms. She began to 'caress' its glossy fur.

Cat King meowed a few more times. Its furry little head kept rubbing against Tian Tong Xing's ample chest.

Tian Tong Xing leaned back against the sofa and gently pushed away Cat King's furry little head. Seeing that she had messed up Cat King's fur, she scratched its chin and began to smooth out its fur.

Compared to half a month ago, Cat King had grown up a lot. It was also more lively and energetic. However, it was still naturally closer to Tian Tong Xing.

Cat King was a little unwilling to give up and continued to rub against Tian Tong Xing's chest. Tian Tong Xing calmly pushed it away again. The human and cat began to play happily like this.

Tian Tong Xing had a small worry recently: no one believed that she and Wakari were dating.

After learning about Tian Tong Xing's worries, Rin Ikuda's first reaction was to roll her eyes.

"That's because your relationship with Ushima Kun is too secretive." Rin Ikuda ridiculed, "It's normal that people don't believe it."

Tian Tong Xing was a little unconvinced. She began to count on her fingers, "But Wakari and I go to the snack bar together between classes. We also have lunch together at noon. We also email each other at night. How can you say that our relationship is secretive?" When she said this, her tone was flat, as if she was writing a work report.

Rin Ikuda resisted the urge to roll her eyes again, "When we go to the snack bar, we buy our own things. We eat lunch together with Ushima Kun and Tian Tong Kun. Other than your roommates, probably no one else knows that you two email each other every night. Of course, you can say that your relationship is secretive."

Tian Tong Xing was speechless. Her relationship with Wakari was actually like this in other people's eyes?!

"Based on my previous relationship experience, Tiantong Jiang is too passive." Rin Ikuda's tone was experienced.

Tian Tong Xing showed a rare expression of shock, "Ikuta has dated many times?!" That's, that's amazing!

Rin Ikuda thought for a moment, "Three or four times."

"That's amazing." Tian Tong Xing was interested, "Can I know about Ikuta's relationship experience?"

Rin Ikuda said calmly, "Next time. We're talking about Tiantong Jiang right now. Please don't change the topic."

Tian Tong Xing thought for a moment and asked with curiosity, "Why do you say that I'm too passive?"

Rin Ikuda asked back, "I've never seen Tiantong Jiang and Ushima Kun holding hands. Why?"

A faint blush appeared on Tian Tongxing's overly pale little face. There was a hint of shyness in her dark cat eyes, and her tone also fluctuated a little. "Holding hands in front of so many people … I feel so shy."

Rin Ikuda, "… I didn't expect Tiantong Jiang to be so pure."

Tian Tong Xing, "… Thank you."

Rin Ikuda was speechless, "Please don't misunderstand, I'm not praising you."

Tian Tong Xing, "Oh."

Rin Ikuda, "…" She lost.

"Actually, I feel that Wakari doesn't seem to have any intention of holding hands." Tian Tong Xing said with uncertainty.

"Are you sure?" Rin Ikuda couldn't help but roll her eyes again.

Why did she feel that Ushima Kun's eyes were almost glowing when he looked at Tiantong Jiang?!

Tian Tong Xing rubbed her nose.

Okay, she wasn't sure.

"Are you guys going on a date this weekend?" After taking two deep breaths, Rin Ikuda asked a new question.

"Wakari has training this weekend. Didn't he have the IH preliminaries last week?" Tian Tong Xing said matter-of-factly, implying that they didn't have a date this weekend.

Rin Ikuda, "… You didn't do anything intimate, and you didn't go on a date. How can you let others think that you and Ushima Kun are a couple?"

Tian Tong Xing lowered her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and clasped her hands together.

She didn't have much of an expression on her face, but Rin Ikuda could tell that she was being wronged.

Rin Ikuda, "…" Why did she feel like she was a bully?!

Rin Ikuda sighed helplessly. She really didn't know what to do with Tian Tong Xing.

"Tiantong Jiang, although it's not wrong for girls to be more reserved, passively accepting things isn't good for the development of a relationship."

Rin Ikuda patted Tian Tong Xing's shoulder gently and said in a gentle voice, "You and Ushima Kun just started dating. You should take the time to cultivate your relationship. It's better to take the initiative."

"Don't avoid it anymore. Maybe he's worried or sad about it."

Cat King's meowing pulled Tian Tong Xing back from her thoughts. This time, Tian Tong Xing allowed the cat King to rub against her chest. Then, she flipped the cat King over and buried her face into the cat King's snow-white belly.

"I want to have a more intimate relationship with Ah Hing. I want to hold hands, hug, kiss …"

Tian Tong Xing couldn't help but think about what Wakari Ushima said on her birthday. Then, she thought about that light kiss and felt her face burning.

So … she really had to take the initiative?

After sucking on the cat for a while, Tian Tong Xing looked at the time. She picked up the Cat King and packed up to go back to school.

The school had a rule that students had to report back to school before 9: 30 p.m. on weekends.

Shiratorozawa Academy, No. 1 Gymnasium.

Coach Yasuharu Hatake crossed his arms and squinted at Wakari Ushima, who was practicing spiking.

"Vulture Craftsman Sensei?" Coach Akira Saito asked in confusion, "Is there a problem with Wakari?"

"Probably," Yasuharu Hatake didn't say much. He just looked away and turned to scold Tiantongjue. "Feel!

Didn't I tell you to raise your hands even if you guessed wrong?!

Your hands are drooping. What's the use of guessing right?!

Raise them up! "As he spoke, he raised his right hand and slapped his right elbow with his left hand.

Tiantongjue, who was drenched in sweat, almost bent his back like a bow. He waved his hands and replied perfunctorily, "I know, I know. Please calm down."

"If you want me to calm down, then raise your hands and seal the net!" Yasuharu Hatake glanced at Tiantongjue and crossed his arms angrily again.

Akira Saito wiped the sweat off his forehead. Vulture Craftsman Sensei was still full of energy as always. How did he and Acehara Sensei survive in the past?!

Last week, the IH qualifiers were held in Miyagi Prefecture. Shiratorozawa Academy's men's volleyball team won the qualifiers and qualified for the national competition.

In this qualifier, Wakari Ushima and Tiantongjue were the only starting players in the first grade.

"Wakari!" Yasuharu Hatake finally shouted, "Come here!"

Wakari Ushima casually wiped the sweat off his face on his sleeve and stood in front of Yasuharu Hatake with his hands by his side. His expression didn't change.

Yasuharu Hatake frowned and asked, "What happened recently that caught your attention?"

Wakari Ushima said calmly, "My girlfriend seems to be angry with me."

Yasuharu Hatake: "…"

Akira Saito: "…"

The rest of the people who accidentally overheard: "…"

Tiantongjue quickly turned around and covered his mouth with one hand. His shoulders were trembling, and he was obviously trying to hold back his laughter.

Yasuharu Hatake asked with difficulty, "When did you get a girlfriend?!"

Wakari Ushima: "Last month."

Yasuharu Hatake waved his hand. "Go back to training."

"Yes." Wakari Ushima turned around and ran back to the training ground.

Akira Saito was very impressed. "Teacher, how did you see that Wakari was not in a good state?

Wakari was as serious as ever during training, and I even felt that he was in a better state than before. "As expected, there was still a lot for him to learn.

Yasuharu Hatake said calmly, "He was indeed very serious during training, but he would often look in the direction of the door when he was resting."

Akira Saito exclaimed, "Master Vulture Smith, you are very observant!"

Yasuharu Hatake looked up at Akira Saito and said calmly, "Not everyone can be completely focused during training. Occasionally, you have to pay attention to their state when they are not training."

"Yes!" Akira Saito immediately replied with a serious expression.

Tian Tong Xing looked into the brightly lit No. 1 Gymnasium and found that the volleyball club members were cleaning and tidying up the gymnasium.

Tian Tong Xing's eyes flashed with a trace of nostalgia. What a hot-blooded youth.

She was just about to return the volleyball when Tiantongjue, who was mopping the floor, saw her.

Tiantongjue's eyes lit up and he quickly shouted loudly. "Sister!"

Hearing Tiantongjue's shout, Wakari Ushima, who was picking up the volleyball and putting it back in the volleyball cart, suddenly had his eyes lit up.

He casually threw the two volleyball in his hands into the volleyball cart and looked towards the door with a burning gaze.

The rest of the people also looked towards the door.

Suddenly becoming the focus of everyone's attention, Tian Tong Xing subconsciously lowered her head and stepped back.

The slender and beautiful girl only leaned half of her body into the gymnasium.

She had combed her hair into a bun and a strand of red hair scattered around her pale lips, making her cat eyes look even more distinct and her skin even whiter.

The girl's hands on the side of the iron gate were as white and delicate as jade carvings.

As if disturbed by Tiantongjue's shout and everyone's gaze, she slightly lowered her head and stepped back like a frightened deer. Naturally, a wave of shyness flowed out of her.

The youths were stunned for a moment.

Although it wasn't the first time they saw Tian Tong Xing, they still felt that it was very stunning.

Tian Tong Xing: "???" Why do they keep staring at me???

The girl seemed to hesitate, slowly blinking her eyes and said, "Sorry to disturb you."

Her voice was soft, and the youths could feel a hint of shyness in her flat tone.

The gymnasium was silent for a moment.

Tian Tong Xing was a bit confused. She rubbed her hands on her cheeks and found no stains after putting them down. She felt relieved and finished the rest of her words, "Um … Wakari, I'll wait for you outside." Finished speaking, she left.

She felt that staying here would hinder them from cleaning, so it was better to leave first.

When she stood by the flower bed outside the gymnasium, Tian Tong Xing remembered that she ignored Tiantongjue and immediately frowned in annoyance.

Sure enough … I was still a bit nervous …

In the eyes of the people in the gymnasium, the girl seemed to be embarrassed by their stares. She actually reached out to cover her face and only felt that they were staring at her hands when she spoke.

She hurriedly left as soon as she finished speaking, as if saying those words had already consumed all her courage.

She was so shy that … it was super cute!

Everyone looked at Wakari Ushima with envy and jealousy. Tiantongjue puffed up his cheeks and heavily snorted in his heart.

His sister actually ignored him. Angry!

Wakari Ushima calmly continued mopping the floor, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Tiantongjue glanced at Wakari Ushima. He hesitated for a few seconds between interfering later and settling accounts later. In the end, he decided to choose the latter.

Well, his sister and Wakari Kun hadn't been dating for long. There would be plenty of opportunities for him to interfere in the future. There was no rush.

Tiantongjue continued mopping the floor with all his might. He mentally gave himself a thumbs up for being magnanimous and farsighted.

"Sorry for making you wait." Wakari Ushima stood beside Tian Tong Xing, his eyes focused and burning.

"It's fine."

Tian Tong Xing gently shook her head. Her voice was softer than before. "Um … let's go back."

They came to the gymnasium just to go back to the dorm together. It felt a bit stupid.

Tian Tong Xing bit her lower lip, but when she saw Wakari Ushima's eyes brighten, she felt that it wasn't a bad idea.

"Okay." Wakari Ushima's voice had a hint of a smile. He tentatively reached out to Tian Tong Xing's hand.

Tian Tong Xing's face had a faint blush. She obediently let Wakari Ushima hold her hand.

Compared to the bustling public place during the day, this somewhat quiet night made her feel more at ease.

Tian Tong Xing's dark cat eyes lit up when she felt the warmth from the youth's palm.

The two tacitly chose another path to avoid meeting other people from the volleyball club.

"Ah Hing, you're not angry anymore?" After walking for a while, Wakari Ushima asked in a low voice. He seemed to be a bit nervous.

Tian Tong Xing: "When was I angry???"

Wakari Ushima stopped and turned to look at Xiang Tien Tong. He said seriously, "During this time, Ah Hing refused to hold my hand or get along with me like this. Aren't you angry?

It's because I kissed you without your consent that day. "

Tian Tong Xing: "…" She didn't expect Wakari to be the king of imagination!

Seeing that Tian Tong Xing just stared blankly at him without saying anything, Wakari Ushima frowned and pursed his lips.

In the next second, his eyebrows furrowed even tighter because the girl who had always been expressionless actually laughed out loud.

The girl seemed to have discovered something interesting. Her eyes curved into crescents as she laughed. Her body trembled slightly, and her whole person became a bit more lively.

Wakari Ushima was afraid that Tian Tong Xing would fall from laughing too hard, so he changed from holding her hand to hugging her. He pulled Tian Tong Xing into his arms and said in a low voice, "Is what I said funny?"

It wasn't a threat or anything else. It was just a simple question.

Wakari Ushima stared at Tian Tong Xing's sweet and gentle smile and hugged her even tighter.

"I-I'm sorry. I just didn't expect Wakari to have such wild thoughts."

Tian Tong Xing finally stopped laughing, but the smile on her face didn't fade. Her pair of dark cat eyes were so bright that it looked like they were falling into the stars.

She stood on her tiptoes and reached out to wrap her arms around Wakari Ushima's neck. Before he could say anything, she took the initiative to kiss him.

The girl first seemed to caress his lips, then she boldly stuck out her soft and tender tongue to lightly lick the corner of his lips. Her actions were inexperienced and bold.

Wakari Ushima was stunned for a moment. Before Tian Tong Xing's mother retreated, he raised his hand to hold the back of her head and deeply kissed her back.

Unlike the shallow kiss on her birthday, this kiss was gentle, warm, and lingering. It was continuous and dense, as if it would never stop.

It wasn't until Tian Tong Xing pushed Wakari Ushima's shoulder for the third time that Wakari Ushima reluctantly bit her lips and ended the kiss.

"It hurts." Feeling the slight pain from her lips, she glared at Wakari Ushima coquettishly.

"Sorry."

Wakari Ushima gently rubbed Tian Tong Xing's lips with his thumb. Seeing the girl frown, Wakari Ushima also frowned. "Shall we go to the infirmary?"

Tian Tong Xing calmly said, "No, let's go back to the dorm. The time limit is almost up."

Ox Island Ruoli replied with a grunt.

The two held hands and continued to walk in the direction of the dorm.

At this time, the two began to quietly talk.

"I'm not angry." Tian Tong Xing tightly held Wakari Ushima's hand. "I'm just shy."

Tian Tong Xing moved closer to Wakari Ushima and softly explained, "I feel shy to be intimate in public."

Wakari Ushima said, "Then in the future, we can't have physical contact in public?"

Tian Tong Xing: "… Please give me some time to adapt."

Wakari Ushima nodded. "Okay."

"Also," Tian Tongxing rubbed his nose, "if there's anything I've done wrong, Ruoli can just tell me."

"I'm serious about dating Wakari," Tian Tong Xing said very seriously.

A smile appeared in Yushima Ruoli's eyes as he replied seriously, "I understand."

After a pause, Wakari Ushima said, "Then, Ah Hing seriously say 'Wakari, I like you' for me, okay?"
