My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 250 The New Neighbors?

The two let go of each other's hands at the school gate to avoid the teacher's disciplinary inspection, and then held hands again when school was over.

"I'm back!"

"I am back."

After changing her shoes, Shoko rushed into the living room. Seeing that the room was empty, she was a little puzzled. "Why isn't Auntie home at this hour?"

"They must have gone to the neighbor's house that moved in a few days ago." Tsuna walked into the living room and casually tossed his schoolbag onto the sofa.

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Shoko began to recall that someone had indeed moved in a few days ago, but she happened to be at Tsuna's house when the person came to visit her with gifts.

Her grandmother had mentioned the other person's name to her at the time, but she didn't think much of it and forgot about it. Now, trying to remember it... seems a bit difficult...

"Don't even think about it, your surname is Uzaki." Tsuna reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Let's go upstairs. Now let's hurry up and send the illustrations to Sister Xiaoshun."

Shoko is currently 158cm tall, and I'm half a head taller than her. I'll definitely grow taller in the future, so I don't have to worry about being overtaken by Shoko like I used to.

He didn't have much of an impression of the new neighbors, only vaguely remembering their surnames, not to mention that he hadn't seen them even once in the past few days.

"Tsuna, don't rub my head, it'll stunt my growth!"

"Hey hey hey..." He withdrew his hand, casually took Shoko's hand, and walked upstairs.

Only a naive girl would believe Takagi's nonsense.

"Click..."

As soon as the door opened, Shoko pounced on someone's bed with a clear objective. Tsuna was already used to it, so he walked to the table and pressed the power button on the computer.

While the computer was on, he also took the opportunity to check the eight black and white illustrations and the two color ones.

Over the past two weeks, he felt like he had lost a lot of hair, but the result was good; he completed the task perfectly.

He drew two more than expected; how could it not be a perfect completion?

"Is there a problem, Tsuna?" Shoko sat up in bed and was a little worried when she saw him staring at her painting without saying a word.

Tsuna shook his head, looking away from the tablet. "No, I was just thinking about something."

After saying that, she turned around and smiled at Shoko on the bed, then started looking for Xiaoshun's friends on LINE and sent several illustrations from her computer to her email.

"Sister Xiaoshun, I've sent those illustrations to your email. Is that okay with you?"

After waiting for a reply for about ten minutes, he stopped paying attention, turned off his phone, and simply put it down, assuming the other person was still at work and didn't have time to check messages.

"How is it, Tsuna? What did Shun-nee say...?"

Unlike his nonchalant demeanor, Shoko started to get nervous the moment he sent it out.

Tsuna shrugged, explained that the other person was at work, and then comforted the nervous Shoko by doing her homework to help her distract herself.

Just keep her busy.

In the following days, whenever she asked this question, he would subtly change the subject until he received a message from Kazunori Junma.

"Tsuna, could you send me the second volume too? I'd like to check for any typos, okay?"

Their eyes fell on the message at the same time, and Tsuna was momentarily speechless.

A week ago, she came to him asking him to send her the second volume, but he brushed her off.

Because he didn't know the sales figures for the first volume yet, he was reluctant to send the second volume over, in case the first volume was canceled.

Moreover, he felt that Sister Xiaoshun's purpose was not simply to check the problem, but rather to see what happened next in the book...

"..."

"Sister Xiaoshun, have you seen the illustrations?"

After sending the message, it took another ten minutes or so for the other party to reply.

"I can sense that he's a bit rusty..." Before Shoko could even feel discouraged after reading that sentence, she saw the next message.

"But there's nothing wrong with these illustrations. I'll inform the factory in the next day or two and have them start printing."

"Could you please finish your sentence in one sentence next time?"

Tsuna was speechless. Just a moment ago, he had started thinking about how to comfort Shoko.

"Tsuna, what about the second volume...?"

"Tsuna passed!!"

Before he could reply, the girl next to him excitedly gave him a koala hug.

"..."

"Congratulations, Ms. Shoko." Tsuna tossed her back onto the bed without any politeness.

"By the way, Tsuna, could you ask Shoko whether she should use her real name or a pen name for the illustrator section in the print advertisement?"

"Stop, stop, stop! Take a look at this message first." Gang quickly raised his hand to stop her and held the phone in front of her.

Shoko is getting more and more attached to him these days.

However, she used to like to stick close to him in private, but back then they were both young... in various ways.

Shoko took the phone from his hand with a puzzled look. "How does Sister Shun know I'm an illustrator?"

Upon hearing this, Tsuna paused and explained, "I mentioned it to her a week ago, and I didn't expect her to still remember."

He immediately followed up with, "Do you want to use your real name or a pen name?"

He hadn't thought that much about illustrators, so he couldn't offer any advice to Shoko on that matter. It seemed like she didn't care whether she used her real name or a pen name.

"What's your name... um..."

To be honest, this question really stumped her; she hadn't considered it at all.

I've spent most of the last two weeks drawing illustrations, coloring, and optimizing...

"No rush, think about it first, it's okay to tell me later."

"Uh-huh."

After saying that, Tsuna replied to Kazuno Jun on LINE with a few more perfunctory words and learned the specific printing date: the day after tomorrow.

So, including tomorrow, there's about half a day left for Shoko to come up with a name.

Seeing that things were mostly resolved, the two continued doing their homework, and this time Shoko was able to concentrate on her work.

But the result was a little different from what he expected. This time, Shoko couldn't calm down. She just wanted to treat herself to something delicious.

In the end, he still dragged Tsuna to a famous dessert shop nearby to buy desserts. Seeing how happy she was, he didn't try to dampen her spirits or anything like that.

As dusk settled, the March breeze, carrying the faint scent of cherry blossoms, swept across the corner of the cobblestone street, and the setting sun cast the shadows of the two people onto the noren curtain of the convenience store.

When the two returned home after shopping, it was already past six in the afternoon. Originally, they had left the club and would have been dismissed from school around 3:30, but they still had a few days until graduation.

The two of them went home a class period earlier than usual.

"Aunt Miyamura, I'm back!!"

"I am back."

As soon as they opened the door, the two smelled the aroma of fried fish coming from the kitchen.

"Dinner's ready." Shizuka Miyamura emerged from the kitchen wearing a black apron, wiping water stains with a paper towel in her hand.

"Shoko, Yuzuru just came to ask you to come home for dinner."

Shoko paused in her shoe-changing motion, then obediently put the other shoe she had just taken off back on, waved to the two of them, and turned to leave the Miyamura house.

As for why Nishimiya Yuzuru didn't call her? It's because she didn't go back to her house to get her phone from school until she got home...
