"Serve the dishes."

When Yushima Mama saw Wakari Ushima and Tian Tong Xing walking into the dining room, she handed the financial magazine in her hand to Butler Takeuchi and ordered calmly.

Her expression was calm, as if lunch hadn't been delayed by nearly an hour.

"Mom." Wakari Ushima bowed to Yushima Mama.

"Auntie, good afternoon." Tian Tong Xing's cheeks were flushed as she greeted Yushima Mama.

"Well, sit down and eat." Yushima Mama nodded to the two of them.

Lunch was exquisite Kaishi cuisine.

The three dishes in one sauce were quite exquisite and, of course, delicious.

Tian Tong Xing had always been serious when eating. She usually didn't talk during the meal unless the topic involved her.

Yushima Mama looked at Tian Tong Xing a few times. When she saw how serious she was eating, the cold expression on her face softened slightly, and a vague smile appeared on her lips.

After the three of them finished lunch quietly, Butler Takeuchi ordered the servants to remove the dishes on the table and serve the desserts.

Tian Tong Xing used a small spoon to carefully break the caramel on the pudding. Just as she was about to scoop a spoonful, she heard Yushima Mama ask her, "What does Ah Hing like to eat?"

Tian Tong Xing quickly put down the small spoon and respectfully replied, "I like Chinese cuisine."

Yushima Mama nodded and invited her again, "Why don't you go home after dinner? Or do you want to go home for dinner?"

Tian Tong Xing was slightly taken aback and quickly said, "No, I won't.

Then I'll continue to disturb you. I'll contact my family later. "

Yushima Mama said, "Okay."

Tian Tong Xing waited for a while. Seeing that Yushima Mama had already started eating her pudding, Tian Tong Xing picked up the small spoon and started eating again.

Wakari Ushima didn't eat dessert, but he still sat beside Tian Tong Xing and slowly drank tea.

Hearing their conversation, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Yushima Mama finished the dessert and drank a few mouthfuls of tea to help with digestion. Then, she took a hot towel and wiped the corners of her mouth and hands. She said to Tian Tong Xing, "By the way, the desserts you made are delicious. Thank you."

"Yes, thank you for your compliment."

Yushima Mama stood up, followed by Wakari Ushima and Tian Tong Xing.

"If Ah Hing wants to go somewhere, you can ask Wakari to take you there in the afternoon," Yushima Mama said. "Young people should be more restrained. Don't be cooped up in your room all day."

Tian Tong Xing felt that her whole body was about to burn.

Wakari Ushima was very calm. He held Tian Tong Xing's hand and said, "I know what I'm doing. Mom, don't worry about it."

Yushima Mama raised her eyebrows. "As long as you know what you're doing." She nodded at Tian Tong Xing and turned to leave.

Tian Tong Xing: "…" How embarrassing! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Wakari Ushima held Tian Tong Xing's hand and returned to the bedroom. Butler Takeuchi replaced the tea and snacks that had been delivered in the morning and respectfully left.

As soon as Butler Takeuchi left, Tian Tong Xing kicked Wakari Ushima lightly. "It's all your fault. I was so embarrassed just now." As she spoke, Tian Tong Xing's cheeks flushed red again.

Wakari Ushima: "?

But Ah Hing was the one who seduced me first. "

Tian Tong Xing: "…" I didn't. I didn't.

Tian Tong Xing looked down at the ground. The corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, and her cheeks were slightly puffed up. Wakari Ushima knew that Tian Tong Xing was a little angry.

He grabbed Tian Tong Xing's wrist. Ignoring her attempts to struggle, he directly pulled her to the bedside.

Wakari Ushima sat at the head of the bed. With a little force, Tian Tong Xing fell into his arms and he hugged her tightly.

Wakari Ushima rested his head on Tian Tong Xing's shoulder.

Tian Tong Xing pushed Wakari Ushima's shoulder. When she failed to push him away, she punched Wakari Ushima's shoulder in revenge.

"Auntie must have a bad impression of me." Tian Tong Xing punched Wakari Ushima's shoulder again.

"No." Wakari Ushima held Tian Tong Xing's hand and squeezed it. "Mom likes you very much."

Tian Tong Xing: "…" Although she knew that Wakari was definitely telling the truth, she really didn't think so at all.

Wakari Ushima's hand moved up. He grabbed Tian Tong Xing's wrist and felt her pulse. He rubbed his cheek against Tian Tong Xing's shoulder in a coquettish manner.

"Wakari?!"

Tian Tong Xing was a little surprised. She looked down at Wakari Ushima, but all she could see was Wakari Ushima's soft, short, flaxen hair.

"I used to think that there was nothing in the world that couldn't be told to others."

As Wakari Ushima spoke, he began to stroke Tian Tong Xing's smooth, white, slender arm. "But that's not the case."

"If I tell Ah Hing everything, perhaps Ah Hing will break up with me immediately."

Yushima Ruoli's hand continued to move upwards, finally grabbing onto that round shoulder. He used his fingertips to lightly rub against it, carrying a hint of cautiousness and probing.

Tian Tong Xing wanted to snuggle into Wakari Ushima's arms, but this person was resting on her shoulder.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Does Wakari mean that he's always thinking about strange things?"

"Is it strange to want to be intimate with my girlfriend?"

Wakari Ushima asked. At the same time, his somewhat rough fingers began to stroke back and forth on the beautiful lines of her collarbone.

"That depends on the level of intimacy."

Tian Tong Xing gently pressed Wakari Ushima's hand. "I said from the beginning that we have a lot of time. There's no need to rush."

"Don't rush. The road is paved one step at a time." Tian Tong Yin gently stroked Wakari Ushima's short hair.

Wakari Ushima grunted and said seriously, "I know.

So I didn't do anything. "

Tian Tong Xing smiled faintly. "Then Wakari was studying human bones and muscles just now?"

Wakari Ushima said, "I thought this level of intimacy was within Ah Hing's acceptable range. After all, he did something even more outrageous before lunch."

"If we weren't interrupted at that time, what would Ah Hing have done?" Wakari Ushima raised his head and looked at Tian Tong Xing with a very serious expression. His eyes were burning.

Tian Tong Xing's dark cat eyes curved slightly, with a rare slyness. "There's no need to investigate things that didn't happen, right?"

Wakari Ushima's dark brown eyes were dyed with a helpless and doting smile.

Tian Tong Xing wrapped her hands around Wakari Ushima's neck and buried her head in the side of Wakari Ushima's neck.

Wakari Ushima thought for a moment. His body leaned back and rolled onto the bed with Tian Tong Xing.

Tian Tong Xing still wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in Wakari Ushima's chest. Her body stiffened.

Wakari Ushima clumsily untied her half bun and smoothed her soft long hair. Then he stroked Tian Tong Xing's stiff back and kissed her red earlobe. "Good girl.

Sleep if you're sleepy. "

Tian Tong Xing's body instantly softened.

She rubbed her head against Yushima Ruoli's neck and murmured, "En." She slowly closed her eyes.

Wakari Ushima reached out and gently touched Tian Tong Xing's thick, long, and slightly curled eyelashes. Seeing her long eyelashes tremble slightly, he pulled back his hand, hugged her tighter, and closed his eyes.

When Wakari Ushima woke up from his afternoon nap, he saw Tian Tong Xing sitting on the sofa by the bay window. She was looking at the scenery outside the window and leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks.

Probably because she had just woken up, her long hair was a little messy and fluffy. She casually pushed it to the left side. The elegant and delicate girl naturally revealed a pure charm.

The sunlight softly shone through the window curtains on her body, creating a dreamy light and shadow effect.

Tian Tong Xing noticed that Wakari Ushima had woken up. She put down the half-eaten pastry and turned to look at him.

Tian Tong Xing was worried that crumbs would stick to her face. She stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth. She was relieved when she found that there were no crumbs.

Wakari Ushima clenched his left hand into a fist and knocked on his forehead. Then he fell back onto the bed.

Tian Tong Xing was a little confused. She thought that Wakari Ushima still wanted to sleep, so she turned her head and continued to eat and drink.

Although the stone dishes were delicious, there wasn't much of it. Tian Tong Xing felt hungry when she woke up.

The plate of pastries in front of her wasn't big. Tian Tong Xing could finish one in two or three bites. It was just right for afternoon tea.

Tian Tong Xing ate another two or three small pastries. Wakari Ushima finished tidying up and sat on the sofa.

He didn't pour another cup of tea. He only took the cup that Tian Tong Xing had drunk from and slowly sipped it with his eyes lowered.

The tea was clear and sweet jasmine tea. After taking a sip, his brain, which was still a little muddled, cleared up, and he felt refreshed all over.

Tian Tong Xing took a bite of the light green pastry. When she saw Wakari Ushima put down the teacup, she handed the pastry in her hand to him.

Wakari Ushima paused for a moment. Then he raised his hand to hold Tian Tong Xing's wrist. He lowered his head and took a bite of the light green pastry.

Tian Tong Xing's face blushed with heat.

Wakari Ushima looked up at Tian Tong Xing and ate the remaining small piece of pastry.

Tian Tong Xing felt her face become even hotter.

She had a feeling that Wakari Ushima didn't want to eat the pastry just now. Instead, he wanted to tear her apart and eat her whole.

She was about to break free from Wakari Ushima's hand when she froze because of Wakari Ushima's next move.

The young man with short flaxen hair was still holding her wrist tightly. He stuck out his tongue and licked the bit of icing on her delicate fingertips.

Tian Tong Xing: "…"

Tian Tong Xing: "!!!"

Wakari Ushima looked up at Xiang Tien Tong.

His dark brown eyes were deep and calm.

They clearly reflected her slightly widened cat eyes due to shock. They reflected her elegant, gentle, and gradually flushed face.

"I-I'm sorry.

I-I need to go to the bathroom. "

After staring at Wakari Ushima for a long time, Tian Tong Xing broke free from Wakari Ushima's hand. She covered her face with the back of her hand, jumped off the sofa, and went straight to the bathroom. "Bang!" She closed the bathroom door.

Wakari Ushima's usually cold eyes softened a bit. He took a light green pastry and took a bite.

He felt that the pastry in Ah Hing's hand was better … Wakari Ushima frowned.

In the bathroom, Tian Tong Xing washed her hands and patted her cheeks with cold water. Only then did she feel the heat on her face subside a bit.

Looking at her flushed cheeks, Tian Tong Xing took a deep breath.

Isn't it just dating?!

Don't be a coward!

You're someone who even dares to beat up the mission target, Ah Hing!

Tian Tong Xing patted her cheeks with water and made a cheering gesture before pushing open the bathroom door.

"Wakari, let's go for a walk!"

So the two went for a walk hand in hand.

In the distance, there were rolling mountains. Nearby, there were lush trees. The sun shone through the branches and leaves, casting mottled silhouettes.

There were all kinds of unknown flowers on both sides of the road.

Probably because they were in the suburbs, there were no tall buildings. There were only traditional Japanese-style houses.

Wakari Ushima held Tian Tong Xing's hand as they slowly walked along the sidewalk. Occasionally, there would be children running past them with volleyball, soccer, or basketball in their arms.

"Kōsen Gakuen is nearby, right?" Tian Tong Xing asked.

"Yeah." Wakari Ushima nodded. "We'll be there after turning two more corners."

Tian Tong Xing: "?"

Wakari Ushima understood what Tian Tong Xing was puzzled about. "Shiratorozawa is very strong."

"And dad studied in Shiratorozawa for both junior high and high school."

Tian Tong Xing rubbed the back of Wakari Ushima's hand with her thumb to comfort him.

Wakari Ushima gently rubbed Tian Tong Xing's head.

"The Setsumi family is also nearby."

The two of them turned a corner, and Wakari Ushima said, "Our families have business dealings. When we were young, we would play together occasionally."

Tian Tong Xing: "Hearing the words' play together 'from Wakari's mouth is unbelievable."

Wakari Ushima was stunned. "?

Why? "

Tian Tong Xing thought for a moment. "Wakari was very dignified when he was young. He didn't look like the type to play with other children."

Wakari Ushima said calmly, "I also grew up as an ignorant and playful child. Of course, I had the experience of playing with other children."

Tian Tong Xing: "… No, it sounds more like a fairy tale."

Wakari Ushima rubbed Tian Tong Xing's head again.

Tian Tong Xing: "You're being rubbed on the head so often. Should you be worried about your bald head?!"

Emmmmm

The two of them walked and looked around. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of Kōsen Gakuen Middle School.

Although it was summer vacation, there were many students going in and out of the school gate.

Most of them were wearing private clothes. Some of them looked around curiously, while others were excitedly discussing something with their companions.

There was a notice board on one side of the school gate. On it was written the opening hours of the school and the things to look out for during the visit.

Wakari Ushima and Tian Tong Xing looked at each other and walked into Kōsen Gakuen together.

Kōsen Gakuen's buildings were in a gorgeous European style. Tall trees and cherry trees were planted everywhere, as well as all kinds of flowers in full bloom.

The entire school looked fashionable and had a heritage.

When Wakari Ushima and Tian Tong Xing were near the library, a familiar voice came from behind them. "Niu Ruo, Tian Tong Xing?"

Wakari Ushima and Tian Tong Xing stopped in their tracks.

They turned around to look at the source of the voice.

There were two teenagers wearing the same sportswear.

They had the same grayish-white hair with the same sharp eyebrows. It was obvious at a glance that they were brothers.

One of them was tall and the other was short. The shorter one looked more childish, and his cheeks were still chubby.

"Hello, Brother Niu Ruo!" The shorter boy bowed ninety degrees with a look of reverence.

"Oh, it's Setomi and Shouta." Wakari Ushima nodded at the two brothers.

"Setomi." Tian Tong Xing nodded at Eita Seimi, then turned to look at the boy named Shouta.

"This is my younger brother, Shota Seimi. Next year, he'll be a first-year student at Kōsen Gakuen Middle School."

Eita Seimi smiled and patted his younger brother's back. Xiang Tien Tong introduced, "It just so happens that today is Kōsen Gakuen's opening day, so I came with him to take a look."

"I'm Shota Seimi. Nice to meet you."

Shota Seimi bowed and looked at Xiang Tien Tong curiously. "Are you Brother Niu Ruo's girl … friend?"

"Yes." Tian Tong Xing resisted the urge to pinch his baby fat. "I'm Tian Tong Xing. Nice to meet you."

"Sister and Brother Niu Ruo are a perfect match!" Shota Seimi's whole body was filled with the meaning of "Brother Niu Ruo is so awesome."

Tian Tong Xing: "… Thank you." So he was Wakari's little fan.

(: з 」 ∠) _

"Brother Niu Ruo, happy birthday!"

Shota Seimi made another ninety-degree bow, his eyes shining brighter. "Did you receive the birthday present that was sent to you?"

Tian Tongxing: "…" Two dog ears seemed to have perked up on Xiang Taijun's head, and there seemed to be an additional dog tail wagging back and forth excitedly behind her.

Wakari Ushima seemed to be used to it and nodded calmly. "I received it.

I like it very much. Thank you. "

Shota Seimi was so excited that his whole face turned red.

"Niu Ruo, happy birthday."

Eita Seimi also sent birthday wishes, then looked at his younger brother with disdain and asked, "We're going to visit the volleyball club. Do you want to join us?"

Wakari Ushima turned to look at Xiang Tien Tong questioningly, obviously waiting for her decision.

Tian Tong Xing looked at Shota Seimi, whose whole body was full of expectation, and nodded in agreement.

Along the way, Shota Seimi chattered with Wakari Ushima, looking so excited that he was about to faint.

Forgive Tian Tong Xing for using the adjective "chatter", but she really couldn't think of a more suitable word.

Eita Seimi followed next to his younger brother with a speechless face, but he joined the conversation very naturally.

Tian Tong Xing listened to the three people discussing volleyball skills while quietly looking around.

The volleyball club was playing an intra-team practice match in the third gymnasium. The people watching the match on the second floor of the gymnasium were all boys.

It was the middle of the first game, so the arrival of Tian Tong Xing and the other three people didn't attract any attention.

"Kōsen Gakuen seems to have lost to Muhei Academy this year, right?" Eita Seimi asked Shota Seimi.

He was talking about this year's volleyball qualifiers for the middle school comprehensive sports competition.

"Yes." Shota Seimi nodded. "53 lost the game.

But Kōsen Gakuen will definitely dominate the country next year! "

"Why?" Eita Seimi teased. "Because Shōta will become a first-year student of Light Immortal next year?"

Shota Seimi clenched his fist, his face full of fighting spirit. "That's right!

With a skilled WS (Main Attacker) like me, Kōsen Gakuen will definitely dominate the country! "

Eita Seimi clapped his hands perfunctorily. "Good luck.

But the WS on the court seems to be better than Shōta. "

Shota Seimi glared at his brother angrily.

Wakari Ushima was always very serious when watching a game.

When he looked indifferent and was silent, there was always a kind of aura that kept people a thousand miles away.

Even Shota Seimi didn't dare to talk to him at this time.

Of course, Tian Tong Xing wasn't one of those who didn't dare to talk to him.

Tian Tong Xing quietly hooked her arm around Wakari Ushima's arm. She looked up at Wakari Ushima and happened to meet Wakari Ushima's eyes.

"The WS with the Kappa haircut on the Red Team is pretty good." Tian Tong Xing said, "I kind of want to pass the ball to him."

Wakari Ushima pursed his lips. "Yes, his ball skills are pretty good."

Tian Tong Xing looked at the court again. At this time, the Red Team had already gotten the match point of the first game.

The black-haired player from the Red Team, WS, who wore the number 3 uniform and had a kappa haircut, made a powerful inside corner shot. The volleyball landed heavily on the boundary line, making a loud "bang" sound.

The Red Team won the first game.

The audience on the second floor was in an uproar and whispered among themselves.

Eita Seimi was also a little speechless. "I thought he was going to shoot a straight shot. That inside corner shot was really a stroke of genius."

Shota Seimi: "???"

A stroke of genius??? "

Wakari Ushima said, "His posture in the air is very hidden. It's very difficult to predict the trajectory of the ball based on his posture.

Moreover, he has used straight shots to break through the blocking net several times. The opponent has strengthened their blockade of straight shots. It's easier to score if he doesn't shoot straight shots now. "

Eita Seimi nodded in agreement.

Shota Seimi's eyes were almost full of stars.

Tian Tong Xing looked back at the court. "This is the first time I've heard Wakari praise someone like that."

Wakari Ushima said, "It's not a compliment. It's just a fact."

Tian Tong Xing said, "Oh."

The Red Team won the practice match.

After watching the game, the four of them strolled around Kōsen Gakuen before leaving Kōsen Gakuen.

When they parted at the fork in the road, Shota Seimi was very reluctant to part. He wanted nothing more than to go home with Wakari Ushima.

It was only after Eita Seimi's explosive strike that the four of them were able to say their goodbyes.

"Why are you unhappy?" Wakari Ushima asked Tian Tong Xing on the way home. Faint wrinkles appeared between his eyebrows.

Tian Tong Xing's overly pale face showed a suspicious blush. "I also want to hear Wakari's praise."

This kind of magical feeling that could be classified as a girl's feelings … was a little shameful.

Tian Tong Xing looked calm on the surface, but she was secretly covering her face.

Wakari Ushima held Tian Tong Xing's hand tightly. There was a faint smile in his voice. "I'll tell you when we get home?"

Tian Tong Xing thought about it, but still instinctively refused. "… No, let's keep it a little mysterious."

Wakari Ushima faintly said, "Mm."

After returning to Ushima's house to rest for a while, it was time for dinner.

Dinner was actually very authentic Chinese cuisine.

Tian Tong Xing stared blankly at the piled white rice, plump steamed mandarin fish, crispy prawn balls, and crispy rock sugar trotters on the table.

There was fresh and fragrant stir-fried beef, tender green dry-fried beans, glossy eggplant with garlic sauce, and a large bowl of refreshing tomato and egg soup.

"Why aren't you eating?" Yushima Mama frowned. "Is it not to your taste?"

Tian Tong Xing shook her head. "No, it's just a little unexpected …"

Yushima Mama's lips curled up slightly, but she quickly suppressed the smile. "Wakari said that the chef at home recently is good at Chinese cuisine. Today is a good opportunity to try his cooking."

"Eat. If it's not to your taste, just ask the kitchen to make another serving."

"Yes, thank you." Tian Tong Xing obediently picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat.

As a person who liked spicy food, Tian Tong Xing ate a few more bites of the savory and spicy dry-fried beans.

Yushima Mama noticed. She frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Wakari Ushima silently used the serving chopsticks to pick up some stir-fried beef and put it on Tian Tong Xing's plate.

Tian Tong Xing blinked and began to eat the beef seriously.

After dinner, Butler Takeuchi served a double-layered fruit cake and lit candles to officially celebrate Wakari Ushima's birthday.

"Wakari, happy birthday."

"Wakari, happy birthday."

"Thank you very much."

Wakari Ushima's eyes were gentle, and the corners of his mouth curled up gently. He nodded at the two of them and blew out the candles.

Tian Tong Xing looked at Wakari Ushima. Her dark cat eyes reflected the light, but they were brighter than the light.

Wakari Ushima couldn't help but pat Tian Tong Xing's head.

Yushima Mama coughed softly.

While eating the cake, Yushima Mama reminded Tian Tong Xing, "Ah Hing, you're too thin. You should eat more meat, not just vegetables."

Tian Tong Xing nodded obediently and silently stuffed a small piece of yellow peach into her mouth.

When Tian Tong Xing ate the fruit, her cheeks were puffed up, which made her a little more ignorant and cute.

The car drove steadily in the direction of Tian Tong's house.

The street lights cast illusory shadows on the car window, making the situation in the car clear and then blurry.

Wakari Ushima and Tian Tong Xing sat in the back seat. Both of them were properly fastened with their seatbelts. Their fingers were interlocked, and they quietly felt each other's body temperature and breathing.

The car stopped in front of Tian Tong's house. Wakari Ushima unfastened his seatbelt and got out of the car. He went around to the other side to open the door for Tian Tong Xing. He even put his hand on the side of the car to prevent her from hitting her head.

"Thank you." Tian Tong Xing got out of the car. Wakari Ushima closed the door and held Tian Tong Xing's hand that was hanging by her side.

"Wakari?" Seeing that Wakari Ushima was only looking at her without saying anything, Tian Tong Xing blinked in confusion.

Wakari Ushima lowered his head and kissed Tian Tong Xing's cheek. He said with a serious face, "I want a GOODBYE.

KISS。”

The surroundings were very quiet. Only the faint sound of insects and the rustling of leaves could be heard. The moonlight was hazy tonight. The two were hidden in the shadows of the street lamps, but their eyes were brighter and gentler than the lights.

Tian Tong Xing gently broke away from Wakari Ushima's hand. Before Wakari Ushima could feel disappointed, Tian Tong Xing had already wrapped her arms around Wakari Ushima's neck.

He followed Tian Tong Xing's strength and lowered his head. He felt a cool and soft touch on his lips.

"Hi hi hi hi."

Tian Tong Xing kissed Wakari Ushima's lips again. Her dark cat eyes were filled with gentleness like water.

Tian Tong Xing tiptoed slightly and rubbed against Wakari Ushima's cheek like a spoiled child. Then she whispered something into Wakari Ushima's ear.

The red-haired girl's voice was as gentle as a sudden drizzle in summer.

Her words were as sudden as a summer shower, but they left a deep impression.

She said,
