My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

"Get in the car~" Yamanaka Sawako chuckled, poked her head out of the car window, and pointed to the back of the car with her thumb, indicating that everyone should get in.

"Ah, it's Sawa! I'm saved!" Ritsu Tainaka almost burst into tears. She really thought she would be exhausted to the point of suffocation when she got to the airport, and she had already given up hope that the plane would have already taken off by the time she arrived.

The sight of Sawako Yamanaka's car here filled her with hope, like a ray of holy light descending from the heavens. She almost clasped her hands together in prayer.

"But where did Sawako-sensei get the car from..." Akiyama Mio was a little puzzled, but she didn't let go of this good opportunity and immediately got into the car with her luggage.

"I borrowed it from my best friend, hehe~" Yamanaka Sawako raised her head slightly, with an expression that said 'Praise me!' But right now, no one was in the mood to praise her; they were only thinking about catching their flight as quickly as possible.

Having finally gotten a chance to catch the plane, they couldn't let it slip away. Everyone rushed in like a spring, but it was clear that there weren't enough seats for all of them.

Even with Dongfang Bai, who is relatively tall, sitting in the passenger seat, the back seat could not accommodate five girls.

"At most...at most four people can sit here!" Hirasawa Yui shakily stretched out her right hand, making a '4' gesture. The five of them were crammed into the back, almost turning into meat patties.

"Let the smallest one sit in the passenger seat with Bai Jun." Yamanaka Sawako turned her head to look at the miserable scene behind her, and couldn't help but twitch her lips. If this were to happen later, the car door would be crushed by her.

"If she's the smallest..." The girls in the back seat all subconsciously looked at Nakano Azusa, who was almost squeezed out of sight, and instantly locked onto her target.

"Me, me~" Nakano Azusa was also stunned. Then, under the pretext of 'righteousness', she was pushed out of the car and pulled into the passenger seat. Since Dongfang Bai was already sitting in the passenger seat, she could only obediently sit on his lap.

"Hiss..." Dongfang Bai looked at Nakano Azusa, who hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind to sit on his lap. The soft touch of the girl instantly traveled through his thighs all the way from his spinal cord to the depths of his brain.

"Senior, please, please guide me." Nakano Azusa's eyes were swirling with confusion. Her mind was so overheated that she didn't even know what she was saying. Sitting on Dongfang Bai's lap, her body was extremely stiff, and neither of them dared to utter a single word.

"Oh dear, oh dear~" Yamanaka Sawako lightly touched her lips with one hand, seemingly trying to hide her snickering. But how could the two people next to her not hear her laughing so loudly? They were just pretending not to hear because they were too embarrassed.

"Ah~ I also want to hug Azusa or be held by Shiro! I'm so envious!" Hirasawa Yui behind her showed a hint of envy. The petite Nakano Azusa looked like a child in Higashikata Shiro's arms, which looked quite adorable.

"What's there to envy..." Nakano Azusa said stubbornly, her face flushed, but in reality, the feeling of being nestled in Dongfang Bai's arms and enveloped in warmth was so blissful that her brain was completely unable to think straight.

"Alright, buckle up, let's get going." Sawako Yamanaka pushed up her glasses and forcefully turned the start button with the key, causing the car to rumble and start shaking.

"..." Dongfang Bai's face turned pale, and he instantly understood everything. Yamanaka Sawako's words about calling the smallest person over were intentional. They had all been together for almost three years, how could they not know who was the smallest?

Most importantly, the way Sawako Yamanaka drives makes it absolutely impossible for her not to wear a seatbelt. If she didn't wear a seatbelt, she would probably fly out of the car. But if she wears a seatbelt, it means that she and Azusa are tightly bound together.

Sawako Yamanaka, what a brilliant tactic!

"Azusa, fasten your seatbelt." Dongfang Bai hesitated for a long time before gently speaking to the girl in front of him. Upon hearing this, Nakano Azusa's already flushed face almost turned red.

"Huh? So that means..."

"Yes, if you don't want to get thrown off, you'd better hold on tight to me." Dongfang Bai took a deep breath, then skillfully pulled the seatbelt over and strapped it to him and Nakano Azusa.

"Ugh." Nakano Azusa felt her back pressed tightly against Dongfang Bai's chest, and she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands. Just as she was lost in thought, the car beneath her suddenly accelerated, startling her so much that she grabbed Dongfang Bai's arm.

“…It’s coming…” Dongfang Bai muttered to himself. As soon as he finished speaking, Yamanaka Sawako took off her glasses and casually tossed them into the storage box next to her.

With a thunderous roar, the car started moving and drifted 90 degrees within seconds, screeching at high speed on a bend, with flames even visible behind it from the intense friction.

The girls sitting in the back were terrified, their faces turning pale as they screamed incessantly. The more they screamed, the happier Yamanaka Sawako laughed, stepping on the gas pedal again as she laughed.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Sawako Yamanaka floored the accelerator, accelerating and drifting around several corners (good job!), reducing the journey that would normally take twenty or thirty minutes to just ten minutes.

Of course, having enough time came at a price. When Ritsu Tainaka got out of the car, he looked completely exhausted, as if he was about to faint at any moment. The others were in a similar state.

Even the healthy young lady Kotobuki Tsumugi looked terrible, while Akiyama Mio simply rolled her eyes and fainted.

"I thought I would never be able to stand on the ground again..." Hirasawa Yui almost cried because she was very light and had been suspended in mid-air several times in the car.

Even after getting off the bus, Nakano Azusa still held onto Dongfang Bai tightly, as if only in this way could she feel safe.

"Haha~ The streets abroad are nice too, I'll take you guys for a drive again next time~"

"We're absolutely not getting on your car!" the girls from the light music club shouted in unison.

Chapter 41 Valentine's Day During Graduation Season [Please Subscribe Automatically]

A few days after the Light Music Club's training camp trip ended, Dongfang Bai carried his bag to school as usual. With the midterm exams over, there was only a little over half a semester left before graduation.

There were still a lot of things to finish before that, and graduation was getting closer and closer, which meant he was also getting closer and closer to turning eighteen and becoming an adult.

"What a nuisance." Dongfang Bai sighed, then suddenly felt a softness in his lower back. A young girl had unknowingly moved up to his side and poked his waist with a teasing expression.

"I saw you looking so worried first thing this morning, could it be that you're having some kind of relationship trouble with some girl?"

"Why would you assume I'd have a romantic entanglement with a girl?" Dongfang Bai retorted with a helpless smile in response to the girl's teasing.

"After all, with you in this state, it wouldn't be surprising if someone stabbed me to death one day." As she spoke, the girl stretched out her right hand and made a knife gesture, then made a forward stabbing motion.

Seeing Dongfang Bai's face turn as black as ink in an instant, Gokou Ruri immediately broke into a bright smile. She found this scene quite amusing.

“Hey, this is for you, senior.” Gokou Ruri skillfully took out a small box from her small bag. Dongfang Bai raised an eyebrow and paused for two seconds.

137 “What is this?”

"So you didn't know, senior?" Gokou Ruri opened her mouth, looking at Dongfang Bai with a strange gaze. Today is the annual White Day, and it's only natural for her, as his lover and future partner, to give him chocolates.

She imagined many possible reactions from Dongfang Bai upon receiving the chocolate, but she never expected that he had no idea what day it was.

Dongfang Bai: ? ? ?

He genuinely didn't know that at this time last year, he was on a beach camp with the light music club, so he completely missed this day. And the year before last, there were probably only a few people who had feelings for him, and they weren't the type who could make chocolate.

"Really..." Ruri Gokou rolled her eyes, tossed her long, smooth, night-black hair, blushed as she handed over the chocolate, and then picked up her bag and walked ahead.

"I don't know, but thank you anyway, Ruri."

Dongfang Bai smiled and immediately opened and ate the chocolate. The black cat's carefully crafted chocolate was a whole piece of cat-shaped animal, which, combined with the chocolate's original 'black' color, turned into a little black cat.

Needless to say, the taste is superb, and Black Cat's culinary skills in making desserts are also quite remarkable, definitely ranking among the best among all the girls Dongfang Bai knows.

"Are you just going to eat it now...? Then you might not even need to eat lunch afterwards." Ruri Gokou shook her head helplessly, but she was also delighted that Higashikata immediately ate the chocolate she had made.

At first, he didn't understand what the black cat meant by that sentence until he arrived at school.

……

With a whoosh, a ton of chocolates fell out of his shoe cabinet. Startled, he took a step back. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that some of the chocolates had love letters attached to them, leaving him completely bewildered.

"As expected." Gokou Ruri carried her bag with both hands and gave Dongfang Bai a "good luck" look. She had long anticipated that this would happen.

It's graduation season now, which means it's the last Valentine's Day of the third year. Some people who didn't have the chance to confess before will muster up the courage to make their move on this last Valentine's Day.

This is why Dongfang Bai's cabinet is in its current terrible state.

"Look over there, isn't that Senior Dongfang?"

"Wow, that's an outrageous amount of chocolate! It feels like half the girls in the school have been stuffed with it..."

"They even have first-year students? Tsk, those damn popular guys!"

The whispers of passersby were quite grating to Dongfang Bai's ears. He could only awkwardly scratch his cheek and finally forced the pile of chocolates back into his mouth.

I didn't expect that I would deal with it after school. He couldn't possibly take all of these to the classroom, could he?

Dongfang Bai braced himself and returned to the classroom under the peeping eyes of a bunch of people. On the way, he was also handed chocolates by girls who passed by. This was truly the first time he had ever encountered something so outrageous.

After overcoming numerous obstacles, I finally arrived at the classroom. I had thought it would be a place where I could rest, but I found my desk stuffed with all sorts of chocolates, big and small.

"..." Dongfang Bai's face turned deathly pale.

"Pfft." Kato Megumi, sitting behind him, couldn't help but laugh. Then, in a calm and clear tone, she said, "Shiro-kun, you should be a little more careful when dealing with girls, shouldn't you?"

"But I wouldn't object if you started a harem at school." The girl's smile was so pronounced when she said this that it was obvious to anyone that she was deliberately teasing Dongfang Bai.

"No way...!" He retorted without even thinking. If it were really as Kato Megumi said, he wondered if the jealous little pot of honey would actually stab him to death.

"By the way, Megumi, what holiday is it today?" Dongfang Bai looked at the girl in front of him with a slightly expectant gaze, while Kato Megumi tilted her head and smiled without saying a word.

The girl was as serene as a cloud, and Dongfang Bai seemed to see the same 'saintly' Hui from when he first met her two years ago.

He had just learned from the black cat what holiday it was today, and the reason he deliberately asked was more like a subtle way of asking if Kato Megumi had made him any chocolates.

However, with Megumi's current expression, it's impossible to tell what she's thinking.

"Huh? What is Bai-kun saying? I don't quite understand." Kato Megumi's light tone and calm expression might not have been able to tell what she was thinking, but how could Dongfang Bai, who had been with her for three years, not see through her thoughts?

This was definitely a prank she deliberately played on a whim.

"Miss Hui~ Excuse me, do you have any chocolate for me?" This time, Dongfang Bai clearly stated his thoughts, word by word. The girl showed a satisfied expression and then took out a small box from the drawer.

"Thank you, Master Megumi!"

Dongfang Bai accepted the chocolate from Kato Megumi with a look of delight. The girl rested her chin on one hand and said in a light tone, "Although I think cake is also delicious, I hesitated for a moment and decided to make chocolate instead."

"Because right now, the classic storyline is still the best, right?" Kato Megumi muttered to herself, laughing as she spoke. She was completely different from two years ago, having fully integrated into the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) community.

Furthermore, she has a very good relationship with Eriri; the two are close friends who can talk about anything. With such a good friend, it's inevitable that she'll be enthusiastically introduced to anime, comics, and games (ACG).

"Can I open it?" Dongfang Bai stared into the girl's gentle, watery eyes and asked tentatively. After receiving Kato Megumi's nod, he slowly opened the carefully packaged little bag.

The chocolate inside was shaped like a four-leaf clover, and it was quite exquisite. You could smell the faint aroma of chocolate even through the small paper bag. Without saying a word, Dongfang Bai put it in his mouth. It was different from the chocolate made by Black Cat.

Black Cat's skills are superior, and his chocolates are smoother, while Megumi's chocolates are quite sweet, and you can feel the sugar rushing to your brain as soon as you take a bite.

Kato Megumi smiled calmly. Although the girl's expression was calm, she was actually a little nervous. After all, it was her first time making chocolate, and if anything went wrong...

"Great! Megumi must have given you a lot of candy." Dongfang Bai opened his eyes and praised him with a smile. Kato Megumi then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, I gave him a little extra sugar because I knew he would like sweets."

The girl's smile was gentle. Suddenly, Kato Megumi paused and looked towards the door. Dongfang Bai followed her gaze and saw a blue figure flash by.

Is that Fumino?

The two of them silently complained to themselves, staring at the doorway. Sure enough, after a short while, Fumino Furuhashi finally couldn't hold back any longer and walked out with a bright smile.

"Good morning, Fumino." Dongfang Bai couldn't help but find her nervous appearance amusing, and waved slightly to greet her. Kato Megumi also returned the greeting, which eased Fumino's tension somewhat.

"Ah, um..." Fumino Furuhashi's face flushed slightly. She awkwardly played with her azure hair before gently sitting down next to Dongfang Bai.

After much deliberation, she took out two chocolates and handed them to Kato Megumi and Dongfang Bai respectively.

"Today is Valentine's Day, right? This is a friendship chocolate! I failed so many times trying to make it, so I spent a long time working on it yesterday. But don't worry, it still tastes like chocolate!"
