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

Fumino Furuhashi spoke with a confident smile. Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. He knew Fumino's cooking skills were quite well understood, as he was the one who taught her all the cooking classes.

She's an exaggerated girl who could accidentally blow up the kitchen; he couldn't understand how Fumino Furuhashi managed to cause it to explode.

"Thanks!" Although he was internally complaining, he happily accepted the chocolate with a cheerful smile. Fumino Furuhashi blushed slightly when she saw him accept it so readily.

"Haha~ Why be so excited about something that doesn't taste very good?" Fumino Furuhashi's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, clearly showing how happy she was.

"This was made by Fumino with care, right? Then I'll definitely eat it all properly." Dongfang Bai said with a light laugh. As soon as he said this, he felt the girl in front of him widen her pupils and then her eyes start to look flustered.

"Well, yes, it is indeed filled with my gratitude. I was able to pass every exam smoothly thanks to Haku-kun's help, and..." As she spoke, Fumino Furuhashi's voice grew softer and softer, until finally it seemed as if her voice was stuck in her throat.

"Fumino, now that you've already given away the 'Friendship Chocolate,' have you given away your 'True Love Chocolate' as well?" Kato Megumi suddenly asked with a smile, and Fumino's expression froze instantly.

As a token of friendship, chocolates are usually given to close friends as "friendship chocolates," and they are often given in large quantities and are not particularly fancy. The other type is the complete opposite.

'True Love Chocolate' refers to a unique chocolate given only to someone of the opposite sex whom you have feelings for, cherish, and want to build a special relationship with.

Without exception, all the chocolates that Kato Megumi and Gokou Ruri gave them were chocolates of true love, and they were all carefully made.

"Eh? Well, haha~ because there's no one I care about too much, so I didn't do it." Fumino Furuhashi broke out in a cold sweat, trying to bluff her way out, but how could her little thoughts possibly fool the invincible Megumi?

... .......

Kato Megumi glanced at the 'friendship chocolate' in her hand and the object called 'friendship chocolate' in Dongfang Bai's hand next to her, and said leisurely, "Bai-kun's chocolate seems a bit special. The shape seems a little different from mine."

"Is that so?" Dongfang Bai looked at the chocolate in his hand with doubt. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the one in Kato Megumi's hand and his were indeed packaged the same, but the shape of the one in his hand was different.

Kato Megumi's should be round, but this one looks like... a heart? Are there really heart-shaped friendship chocolates?

Before he could even think, Fumino Furuhashi was waving her arms in a panic. Cold sweat was pouring down her face like a waterfall. She tried to explain, saying, "Oh, well, it's just that my cooking skills are terrible, so the shapes are all different."

"Eh~ But..." Before Kato Megumi could finish speaking, Furuhashi Fumino covered her mouth with tears welling up in her eyes. If she kept talking like that, she would die!

Kato Megumi raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a somewhat cunning smile, which made Fumino Furuhashi instantly realize that the girl in front of her had just been deliberately teasing her!

"Ugh..." The girl blushed and tried to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything. She could only secretly watch Dongfang Bai eat the chocolate.

It was only the first class, and Dongfang Bai had already consumed a quantity of chocolates that no normal person could possibly finish. A huge pile of chocolates filled his desk, causing his lips to twitch uncontrollably.

Some of the chocolate wrappers even had envelopes stuck to them, some even glued together with heart-shaped stickers, giving him a huge headache about what to do with them.

Should he just throw it away? That would be too much of a waste. It's all from other people's good intentions, but replying to each and every one of them would be too painful. He probably wouldn't be able to finish it all day.

“This is a headache…” Dongfang Bai frowned as he pondered. As the bell rang, he slowly stood up, grabbed the black guitar case that was placed to the side, and prepared to go to the music room for afternoon tea.

Before he could even leave the house, he bumped head-on into Kirisu Mafuyu, who was holding a "137" presentation slide. She glanced at Dongfang Bai up and down, then fixed her gaze on the overflowing chocolates stuffed into his desk, which made her look slightly surprised.

That's an outrageous number! Speaking of which, today is called 'Valentine's Day,' right? It's a holiday she's never celebrated before. I heard that girls give chocolates to their crushes on this day.

She knew very well that Dongfang Bai was an outstanding person, and naturally expected that he would receive chocolates from others, but she did not expect there to be so many, so her expression was quite interesting.

If she knew that Dongfang Bai's cabinet was currently piled with an even larger quantity of chocolates, her expression would probably be even more interesting.

"Dongfang-kun, although the school doesn't object to dating, you still need to be careful to maintain integrity and avoid excessive extravagance, especially when it comes to relationships. You must take it seriously." Kirisu Mafuyu coughed lightly and spoke earnestly.

Dongfang Bai stared at her in disbelief. Judging from her serious and earnest lecturing, anyone who didn't know better would think she was some kind of love guru, but in reality, she was a pure-hearted woman who had never even been in a relationship.

“Especially maintaining ambiguous relationships with multiple people at the same time is a very irresponsible act.” Kirisu Mafuyu’s face was dark, and Dongfang Bai’s forehead was covered in sweat as she said this.

Could it be that she figured it out, was it real or fake?

"Don't worry, Kirisu-sensei, I have to go now!" Sensing that the aura around the other person was getting darker and darker, Dongfang Bai decided to make a quick getaway. If he continued to drag things out like this, who knew what he might discover.

"Strange." Kirisu Mafuyu frowned as she watched Dongfang Bai disappear in an instant, but she didn't say anything.

……

"Isn't that Baymax?" The short, blonde girl held a can of iced orange juice in one hand, looking at Dongfang Bai walking stiffly towards her from a distance with a puzzled expression.

"Gabriel...?"

Dongfang Bai paused, realizing it had been quite a while since he had seen Gabriel. Ever since her sister decided to arrange her engagement, Gabriel had only met him online while playing games. In real life, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he hadn't seen her at all.

"Want some?" Gabrielle noticed Dongfang Bai staring at the orange juice in her hand. She handed it to him expressionlessly, but then pulled it back slightly and added, "Just one sip at most, okay?"

"No need, I was just thinking that I haven't seen you in a while and I've missed you quite a bit." Dongfang Bai scratched his cheek. He was now completely immune to saying things that would make others blush, because he said them all the time...

Especially when Qiong is in a bad mood, he really has to say all sorts of sweet words to coax her back.

Gabriel's usually calm face flushed slightly, and her eyes began to show a hint of nervousness. The girl scratched her somewhat messy long golden hair and stammered, "Well, it's normal since we're engaged, um."

After they finished speaking, there was a silence that lasted for half a minute. Gabriel tilted her head and muttered to herself, "Oh, speaking of which, today is... what, a holiday for mortals, right? It's called Valentine's Day."

"Could it be that Gabriel made me chocolate!?" Dongfang Bai stared wide-eyed at the girl in front of him, who was as short as his daughter, with disbelief. He was utterly shocked.

This is Gabriel, the lazy otaku who is too lazy to even eat and would rather float than walk. She actually remembers this kind of holiday and even made chocolate.

This was so shocking to him that he couldn't process it all at once.

"Chocolate? What chocolate... Ah, it seems there is such a thing, but I didn't do it~" Gabriel rubbed her temples in frustration. Speaking of which, humans should really value these kinds of holidays, right? She only heard about it from Vinnie today.

"Just as I thought." Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes. That's right, why did he have to have such expectations that Gabriel would make chocolate by hand? Just as he was feeling helpless, Gabriel blushed and put her hand into her skirt pocket.

After fumbling around for a while, she finally took out... half a chocolate bar. She solemnly handed this chocolate bar, which was clearly half-eaten, to Dongfang Bai.

Looking at that wrapping paper, if I remember correctly, this is a batch of sweets that cost 100 yen each at the school store, and it's already half-eaten.

"Well, this is all." Gabriel looked away, avoiding eye contact with Dongfang Bai.

However, if it were him, and he pulled out a half-eaten chocolate from a store, he would indeed feel too embarrassed to make eye contact with anyone.

"Thank you so much..." Dongfang Bai accepted the chocolate from the girl's hand with a wry smile. Although she had already eaten half of it, he still received a Valentine's Day chocolate.

“Oh right, come down a little.” Gabriel suddenly remembered something from 4.9 and told Dongfang Bai to lower his head. Then, the instant he lowered his head, she lightly touched Dongfang Bai’s lips with lightning speed.

The girl's cheeks instantly turned as red as sweet potatoes, emitting wisps of white smoke.

"Gabriel?"

"Well, consider it compensation... Oh, and don't waste that chocolate, it's worth a hundred dollars..." Gabriel finished her orange juice in one gulp, then threw it into the trash can and fled as if she were afraid of something.

The bottle was thrown askew, landing right outside the trash can, forcing Dongfang Bai to pick it up for her. Gabrielle's bold move had left him quite bewildered, his mind still a bit foggy.

"Am I dreaming today?"

Chapter 44 Who Doesn't Like Bullying Eriri? [Please Subscribe Automatically]

It's lunch break time, so most students are gathered in twos and threes, enjoying lunch together. However, today is a special day, so the original small groups have all turned into pairs of opposite sexes, one male and one female.

Of course, it's also possible that some students without partners can only huddle together for warmth, while glaring resentfully at couples showing affection.

Originally, Dongfang Bai planned to have lunch with the Light Music Club and a few girls as usual, and then practice a bit more, so as to finish all the practice before the final performance.

But now, an unexpected situation has occurred.

Dongfang Bai carried a bento box made by a fairy in his hand, his eyes fixed on the blonde twin-tailed girl sitting by the flower bed in the distance. That girl was unusually sitting there alone today, flipping through a small booklet in her hand, her face full of annoyance.

Beside her was a neatly arranged bento box, which must have been her lunch for the day.

"Hey, all alone?"

"Eek?! What are you doing, suddenly appearing and startling me!" Dongfang Bai, who suddenly circled around behind Eriri, startled her so much that her delicate body trembled, her voice cracked, and she hurriedly closed the booklet in her hand.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

"None of your business..." Eriri blushed, snorted, and stuffed the booklet into her skirt pocket. This only made Dongfang Bai more curious, but if she didn't want to talk about it now, then so be it.

"Why did you sit next to me so naturally?" The girl glanced at Dongfang Bai up and down. He had just casually sat down to her right, and the two of them were very close, which made the girl's nervousness rise sharply.

"Is it not okay for me to sit next to my lovely girlfriend while we eat?" Dongfang Bai said softly, a slight smirk playing on his lips. Eriri blushed and gave a soft snort, saying nothing more.

"Why are you sitting here eating alone today? You usually have a lot of friends sitting next to you."

"But you, don't you usually eat lunch with other girls? What are you doing sitting here?" Eriri's tone was slightly sour. Dongfang Bai smiled helplessly and then reached out to poke her forehead.

"Right now, I'd rather have dinner with Eriri-sama."

"Since that's the case, then I'll reluctantly keep you company." Eriri crossed her arms over her chest, her lips curving into an uncontrollable smile, her face brimming with undisguised joy.

"Thank you so much!"

"Those are just superficial friends you meet on a normal day. You don't really have a deep relationship with them. On a holiday like today, they're naturally going to see other people." When she mentioned 'other people,' Eriri seemed to have thought of something and secretly glanced at Dongfang Bai.

"Yes, after all, today is a holiday like this."

"You're one to talk! You must have collected a lot of chocolates today, right?" Eriri rolled her eyes and teased. She didn't even need to look to know that Dongfang Bai had collected a lot of chocolates.

There were tiny bits of chocolate crumbs on the corners of his mouth, but you wouldn't notice them unless you looked closely.

"I didn't expect to receive so many." Dongfang Bai rubbed his temples, then suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "But, didn't my Miss Eriri prepare anything for me?"

"Huh~? Why do I have to prepare that kind of thing?" Eriri opened her mouth, revealing her shiny little tiger teeth. Even after falling in love, she still couldn't get rid of this stubborn tsundere habit; it was practically ingrained in her bones.

However, Dongfang Bai had excellent eyesight. He immediately noticed the corner of a chocolate bar peeking out of the girl's pocket. It was so obvious that he couldn't help but notice it even if he wanted to.

"However, if you ask me for a favor, I can prepare some chocolate for you!" Eriri raised her head confidently, unaware that Dongfang Bai had already seen through her little scheme.

"Oh, I see. Since Eriri didn't prepare any for me, there's nothing I can do. I'll just have to go ask the fairy for chocolate."

"What...why do we need to find that guy?!"

Eriri's face turned red with anger. Although she and the fairy had a very good relationship, neither of them would give in on this matter. When she heard that Dongfang Bai was going to find the fairy, the girl grabbed his shoulder in a hurry.

"But Eriri didn't prepare any chocolate for me at all, did she?" Dongfang Bai's lips curled up, revealing a truly regretful expression. Eriri's eyes were filled with tears, and she opened her mouth to say something for a long time, but then swallowed it back.

"Alright, alright!! Here you go! Take it!" Eriri seemed to give up as she stuffed the chocolate she had been keeping in her pocket for a long time into Dongfang Bai's hand. As expected, she had no chance against Dongfang Bai in this aspect.

"Thanks~" Dongfang Bai smiled with satisfaction, then opened the red ribbon of the chocolate packaging, which resembled the headband of Eriri's twin tails. Inside was a square chocolate with a 137 pattern printed on it.

At first glance, this chocolate seems unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, you can see that each stripe was carefully carved with a carving knife, and the person who made it may not have been very skilled, as some of the stripes are noticeably crooked.

"I'm starting to eat."

Dongfang Bai took a small bite, while Eriri sat beside him, watching him nervously. Then Dongfang Bai frowned and said in a strange tone, "Strange, why isn't it sweet at all?"

"How could this be?! I added a lot of sugar..." Eriri's face was full of panic, and a light sweat began to appear on her forehead. She repeatedly recalled the process of making the chocolate, and it should be impossible for her to forget the sugar.
