Chapter 148: It seems like a little affection sprouted by chance

"Tokyo cakes are definitely the best. British cakes are just too sweet."

Although Sato Wakaba felt a little strange because of the previous incident with Hane Shion.

But she couldn't help but share all kinds of things with Sakurai Itsuki.

At this moment, she was lying on the bed, rubbing her hair and talking on the phone with Sakurai Itsuki.

It is now the evening of January 1th in the UK, and the early morning of January 8th in Tokyo.

Sakurai Itsuki had just gotten out of bed and was preparing breakfast as instructed by Sato Wakaba.

Although she was thousands of miles away, fortunately they were all in the 24th century. Sato Wakaba still "knocked" on Sakurai Itsuki's door in the early morning with the ringing of the phone through the Internet.

"Don't you like sweet things?" Sakurai Jize yawned while talking on the phone.

"You have to know your limits! It's so sweet, I feel like it'll make you fat. Tokyo's better. Ah, I really miss Tokyo."

Sato Wakaba said this and turned to look at the calendar on the bedside.

I thought, he probably didn't expect that I would suddenly go back tomorrow?
I really want to see what he is like when he is alone at home when I am not there.

If I go back at the exact time, he will definitely make all kinds of preparations and restore the house to its normal state.

Really looking forward to it.

"Really? You really miss the cakes from Tokyo. Be careful not to become fat." Sakurai Itsuki said, also glancing at the time.

There is still plenty of time before the agreed time to pick up Yuki Mizuno.

So he calmly sat down at the dining table, put his phone on the table, and chatted with her while eating breakfast.

"Don't use that kind of words! I do exercise regularly! Even though my weight went up a bit in the winter, it's just biological instinct to store fat in the winter!"

Even though the two of them didn't video chat, when Sakurai Itsuki heard her voice, the image of her pouting and complaining about him appeared in front of him.

"But, I actually miss Tokyo too!"

Sato Wakaba leaned sideways, holding her cell phone in one hand, and resting her other hand and foot on her beloved teddy bear pillow, laughing softly.

"Ah, should I be fooled now?" Sakurai Itsuki asked.

"What do you mean by being fooled? I don't understand what you are saying!" Sato Wakaba also put her face on the pillow, and her tone sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

Sakurai Itsuki said, "Then I won't say anything."

"Just say whatever you want to say." Sato Wakaba said this, but she deliberately lowered her voice.

Sakurai Itsuki, who understood her meaning, finally asked helplessly: "You miss the people in Tokyo, are you thinking about me?"

Sato Wakaba, whose cheek was pressed against the little bear, heard him say the lines as she wished, and then she smiled brightly with her teeth bared.

"Ashu, you're feeling too good about yourself. You're saying you're not really in love with me, are you? Ah, I'm sorry. Although I do miss you a little bit right now, it's not a longing to get married! If you want to pursue me, you have to put in a little more effort. Like, prepare a cake for me when I return to Tokyo."

As planned, Sato Wakaba once again called Sakurai Itsuki, who was thousands of miles away, and sent this nice guy card, which was the umpteenth time.

She always deliberately guides Sakurai Itsuki like this now, letting him talk about such ambiguous topics, and then rejects him and asks him to keep trying.

Although because of too many times, Sakurai Tree no longer puts on a subtle expression when she gives him a card, this behavior has long lost its practical meaning

But she still enjoys it.

Because she thinks it's funny no matter how many times it happens, and she also likes it when Sakurai Itsuki says such lines.

As for Sakurai Itsuki, he ate his breakfast silently and listened to her finish this long speech quietly and comfortably.

Sakurai Itsuki had long seen through her daily "prank", but no matter how many times he recognized it, he would always fall for it.

Because of this prank, it has now become the willful girl's open plan. No matter what, as long as she pouts and pretends to be lost, Sakurai Itsuki can only obey her.

Gradually, this probably became a tacit understanding between them, or a daily routine.

Maybe this behavior doesn't make any sense, but come to think of it, many daily things are meaningless.

"Is that so? But I do miss you a little bit." Today, Sakurai Itsuki suddenly said after hearing her hairpin remarks.

"Hey! I just handed out the card, and you're confessing again?"

Sato Wakaba unconsciously tightened her hands around the bear pillow.

Sakurai Itsuki said, "It's too much trouble to be home without you. Besides eating takeout for breakfast every day, I also have to help you take care of the flowers and plants, and those two fat pufferfish. It's so troublesome to clean them."

"Really? I'm such a beautiful and lovely girl, but I'm just like a housekeeper in front of you!"

Sato Wakaba complained, but her face was actually full of joy.

She remembered seeing a similar scene when she was a child: a week after her mother returned to her parents' home after a long trip, her father, who was rather clumsy in living and taking care of his daughter, said to her mother on the phone, "This family really can't do without you."

Sato Wakaba, reminded of certain scenes, squeezed the little bear in her arms hard with her thighs.

At the same time, he punched the bear hard at a high frequency, expressing the excitement and agitation that needed to be slightly concealed over the phone. If the bear really moved like in Toy Story, it would definitely reach out and slap the ground, begging the referee for mercy, asking this lusty "super bear" girl to let it go.

"Hmph~ Ah Shu, how did you live alone before?"

"It's hard to go from luxury to frugality." Sakurai Itsuki said, and he gradually got used to being taken care of by the beautiful girl.

"Hehehe, Ashu, did you hear the sound outside the window?" Sato Wakaba finally walked around the little bear, sat up, lay on the windowsill beside the bed, and looked at the forest outside the window.

"It seems like there are some other sounds all the time. Is it birds singing?" Sakurai Itsuki asked.

"Well, it's a robin, but I couldn't find it! It's amazing that it's still singing at night. It's so rare that you can't even see it in Tokyo." Sato Wakaba said.

"Maybe spring is coming soon. Although it's a little early, there are always some idiots who misjudge the season." Sakurai Itsuki replied.

"Haha, Ash, your explanation is so cute. So you're saying it's a stupid bird chasing love?" Sato Wakaba laughed. "Well, if that's the case, then I understand! That stupid bird really chases love day and night."

It was as if I had secretly bought a midnight flight to rush back to see him.

"Hey~ It seems there is no sound. Did it hear us talking about it and get shy?" Sato Wakaba tilted her ears and found that the melodious voice of the robin was no longer in the woods.

"Maybe he's sleeping. It's night time where you are now," said Sakurai Itsuki. He remembered that robins were not nocturnal birds.

"So we experienced the time from the bird waking up to falling asleep together!" said Sato Wakaba.

After that, the two of them chatted aimlessly about a lot of irrelevant things.

When Sato Wakaba is not in Tokyo, she always ignores the time difference and talks on the phone for a long time.

But Sakurai Itsuki surprisingly didn't find it disgusting.

She gave people a very strange feeling on the phone.

How to describe it.

It's like the girl sitting in front of you who always played and joked with you in high school. At some moment, when you secretly pulled her braids or she secretly pinched your arm, you suddenly developed some feelings for her.

It's like your girlfriend who hides in the quilt and talks to you on the phone, sharing the birds singing outside the window with you and discussing some boundless and imaginative questions.

If she hadn't been giving out clips all the time, Sakurai Itsuki would probably have been a little moved.

"Okay, let's stop here!"

The two of them kept chatting until Sato Wakaba was about to go find a charging cable for her phone before they finally decided to end the topic.

"Well, I'm getting ready to go out too." Sakurai Itsuki nodded.

"Eh~Are you going to look for Shion?" Sato Wakaba asked with a hint of jealousy.

"No, I haven't talked to her for several days." Sakurai Itsuki said naturally.

"Is this true? We spent New Year's Eve together."

Although the two had just had a sweet conversation, Sato Wakaba was still bothered by the scene that night.

"I really wasn't going to see her. Maybe she also felt embarrassed about what she did when she was drunk." Sakurai Itsuki said.

When Hane Shion woke up in his house that day, she faced the awkward situation of being alone with her, and thought of her own embarrassing things. After finishing her breakfast, she didn't stay long before saying that her sister called her last night but she didn't answer, so she had to hurry back to call, as calling here would be misunderstood.

Also, there were no spare clothes here, and she didn't want to wear Sato Wakaba's clothes, thinking that it wouldn't be nice. Sakurai Itsuki had forgotten the other reason.

In short, he quickly fled back home with a bunch of excuses.

We didn't talk much privately in the next few days, but just briefly shared some of the joy of attending the Shueisha annual meeting in the club's group chat.

Now Sakurai Itsuki finally understood why Eguchi Yuna, the social deadbeat in the AS club, asked herself whether "White Album" was based on someone in real life when she sent her New Year's greetings a few days ago.

Although they are very different, Huangmao Xuecai, who always talks on the phone for a long time, and Dongma, who is extremely insincere and almost never takes the initiative to contact others, do have a little bit in common.

Of course, after spending a long time with them, you'll find that they actually have nothing in common.

"Well, that seems like her style. But she's actually quite cute when she's drunk and confused. I wonder what she's doing." Sato Wakaba said. This was the look of Hane Shion that she was familiar with.

That drunk look was too strange and dangerous.

Besides Yuki, I can't be too careless with her.

"As for her, I don't know. She's probably drawing at home by herself," Sakurai Itsuki said. "It seems like a lot of cartoonists praised her drawing skills last time. She seems very motivated now."

"Okay, okay, that's it. I'm hanging up." Sato Wakaba looked at the time. She had to pack her luggage in advance to return to Tokyo, so she finally hung up the phone.

"Yeah." Sakurai Itsuki hung up the phone and prepared to get up to pick up Mizuno Yuki.

Of course, Sakurai Itsuki did not tell Sato Wakaba that she was going to meet Mizuno Yuki alone, and she didn't ask anyway.

I always feel that meeting Mizuno Yuki alone is more likely to make her unhappy than meeting Hane Shion.
