My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 323 When did it happen?
"I am back."

Shoko skipped home, and as she passed through the living room, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Nishimiya Yaeko was still watching a drama series, which puzzled her.
"Mom, aren't you asleep yet?"

"Hmm." Nishimiya Yaeko gave Shoko-chan a strange look, then nodded. "There's some warmed milk on the table, remember to drink it."

She hesitated whether to explain the physiological differences between men and women to Shoko, even though the school had probably already taught them.

Putting everything else aside, it would be best to take some precautions, but she didn't quite know how to bring it up...

"Okay, Mom, you should go to bed early too."

Shoko's cheerful voice interrupted her hesitation. When she looked again, Shoko had already disappeared, leaving only the 'patter patter' of her footsteps in the corridor.

After much deliberation, she decided to talk to Shoko alone after get off work tomorrow.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Shoko deftly flicked her toes, sending her slippers flying away with two "thuds".

Her eyes curved into crescents, and she couldn't wait to pounce on the soft bed!

Ignoring the red marks left by her knees hitting the edge of the bed, she covered her mouth and couldn't help but roll around in pain.

"Oh right, the notes also need to be changed."

After a while, Shoko rubbed her knees, reached for her phone on the bedside table, opened LINE, tapped on the profile picture labeled 'Tsuna', and started editing it.

She used to be afraid that Gang would look at her phone, so she didn't dare to use overly obvious nicknames for her contacts. But now it's different; she even plans to change her nickname every day.

"Hmm..." Shoko stared at the profile picture labeled 'Boyfriend-kun,' her heart brimming with secret joy.

"Get me a new one from Tsuna tomorrow, hehe..."

"Oh right, and profile pictures too."

As she spoke, she started searching for cute couple profile pictures online, and before she knew it, the time had jumped to '23:53'.

"..."

"It seems like a lot of people are using it..."

Shoko stared at the white-glowing screen, hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to draw something unique herself in the next few days.

next day...

"Okay, I understand, Mom, don't worry."

At the dinner table, Tsuna couldn't stand his mother's nagging any longer. He grabbed the milk next to him, drank it all in one gulp, got up, called Shoko who was grinning foolishly in the living room, and headed straight for the entrance.

"I am leaving."

"Uncle and aunt, I'm going out!"

"Click..."

As soon as the door slammed shut, Miyamura Daio smiled faintly and put the newspaper aside.
"I still think there are some things I don't need to tell Tsuna Akira, he understands anyway."

Shizuka Miyamura came out of the kitchen, shaking her head disapprovingly as she cleared away Tsuna's dishes:

"It's better to remind them of this kind of thing. Young people have hot tempers, and I don't want 'Yaeko' to come to me with a dark face and argue with me."

“You didn’t say that last night. You said you wanted to have a grandson soon.”

Daiki Miyamura gave Shizuka Miyamura a teasing look, only to be met with a speechless eye roll and a light slap in return.

The school gate is busiest in the early morning, with students in uniforms rushing towards the gate and greeting each other.

The sounds of bicycle bells, laughter, and footsteps mingled together, and the school gate was filled with vibrant, youthful figures.

Tsuna led Shoko through the bustling corridor, feigning grievance as he complained, "Look, you bit me so badly last night that my skin is all raw."

As he spoke, he leaned his face closer so she could see, and then, seizing the opportunity, he quickly pulled back just as she was about to tiptoe and steal a kiss.

"Tsuna, don't hide! I'm just going to blow on it for you, I won't steal a kiss!"

Shoko kept shaking his arm, her eyes fixed on the cracked skin on his upper lip. Tsuna looked at her with a "Do you think I believe you?" expression.

Seeing that he didn't believe her, the 'cunning' Shoko came up with another idea: "How about I give you some compensation?"

"No, with your compensation, you probably won't lose out, right?"

Upon hearing his words, Shoko pursed her lips, puffed out her cheeks like a wronged child, and silently declared her slight resentment.

Tsuna reached out to poke Shoko's puffed-up cheek, but she nimbly shrank her neck to avoid it, and almost got bitten back.

Good morning, both of you.

"Oh my, Ayumi-chan."

"morning."

Clever Ayumi Ajitani pushed up her non-existent reflective glasses with her middle finger, then crossed her hands and rested them on her chin, looking at the two of them suspiciously.

She had a gut feeling that something was off about the two people in front of her; they were definitely hiding something from her, and it was something important!

“You…” Ayumi Ajitani hesitated, “You—”

"Ayumi-chan, how did you know that Tsuna and I are together?" Shoko interrupted her, tilting her head back.

"..."

'I don't know, thank you!'

Before she could even complain, Ayumi realized she'd gone off-topic and quickly corrected herself, looking at the two of them with a surprised expression, almost screaming out loud:

"What! You two are together?! When did this happen?! How come I didn't know?!"

The sound, neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to attract the curious glances of the students sitting nearby.

Shoko was pleased with Ayumi Ajitani's surprised expression, and she could no longer suppress her smile.

She felt that this was the normal person's first reaction, although she didn't mean to imply that her godmother wasn't normal...

"I confessed my feelings yesterday." Seeing that many people were looking at her, Shoko quickly suppressed her smug expression.

"You confessed your feelings?!"

"Ayumi-chan, keep your voice down, keep your voice down!" Shoko momentarily wanted to cover her mouth, and also retract her earlier, somewhat impulsive thought...

More and more eyes were turning to them, and she suddenly felt that her godmother's reaction yesterday was actually quite good...

"Oh, oh..." Ayumi Ajitani nodded, pointing to her mouth which was being covered. Once Shoko released her, she whispered, "..."

"What's going on with you two? Such a big thing, and you didn't even tell me beforehand..."

As she spoke, she wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a wronged expression, "I thought we were the best of friends in the world."

"I--"

"excuse me."

The two of them looked at the person who had suddenly spoken.

"Shoko and I are the best in the world."

"..."

Ayumi Ajitani suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, because what he said made sense.

"Ayumi-chan, I couldn't help but confess yesterday because I was too emotional. I didn't tell you beforehand that I couldn't," Shoko comforted, ignoring the person who was causing trouble.

"Besides, I told you as soon as I came to school, and you're the first one to know." With that, Shoko held up three fingers, ready to swear.

Ayumi Ajiya pressed down her hand; she still believed what Shoko said.

"Then when Takagi arrives, can I talk to her?" She also wanted to see Takagi's surprised expression.
