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

"If you don't believe me, take a bite."

"Fine, I'll eat it!" Eriri took a big bite, refusing to believe it, and chewed vigorously. The rich sweetness burst forth the moment it entered her mouth. Her eyes lit up, and she retorted, "How could that be? It's so sweet! I knew I couldn't forget it."

"Really? Then I'll try it." With a mischievous smile, Dongfang Bai grabbed Eriri's shoulder while she wasn't paying attention and kissed her directly, causing Eriri's pupils to contract and dilate instantly, and her entire body to stiffen on the spot.

"Ugh?! Guh, woo-wa-choo..." Eriri tried to say something indistinctly, but because her speech was unclear, Dongfang Bai couldn't understand her meaning at all. The girl gently pushed Dongfang Bai's chest, but the force was pitifully weak.

After a long while, Dongfang Bai slowly released her. Eriri took a deep breath and then exclaimed, her face flushed, "Idiot, what did I do all of a sudden...!"

"Sorry, sorry, Eriri is just too cute." And she's even cuter when teased, though she didn't say the last part aloud.

"Idiot, idiot, idiot!" Eriri's golden twin tails, sparkling in the sunlight, gently flicked at Dongfang Bai's arm, the force being about the same as a tickle, but he immediately smiled and begged for mercy.

"If Eriri doesn't want to, then we'll skip it next time."

"Huh?! Wait... It's not that I don't want to, it's just that what if someone sees me in a place like this..." Eriri panicked the moment she saw Dongfang Bai's expression, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one around.

"Is there a problem? Isn't Eriri my wife?"

"Who, who's your wife, you pervert!"

Eriri blushed and exclaimed. She hadn't expected that now that she and Dongfang Bai had confirmed their relationship, his teasing would be even more intense than before, but it was perfectly timed to her point of shame, so she couldn't get angry.

However, when she heard the word 'wife,' the girl felt a warm feeling in her chest, and her eyes suddenly felt a little itchy.

"Can we do this again next time?"

Dongfang Bai grinned, secretly observing Eriri's reaction. The girl snorted softly, then crossed her arms and whispered, "Hmph~ I don't care about you! You can do whatever you want~"

"I'm done eating! I have to go to the art club! I'm leaving now." Eriri finished the rest of her food in two bites, then stood up abruptly and disappeared as if she were fleeing, leaving only her back view visible.

Dongfang Bai could still vaguely see her ripe cheeks and blushing ears, it seemed that her inner thoughts were completely different from her outward appearance.

"Alright, lunch is finished, now it's time for afternoon tea."

……

"Good afternoon~" Dongfang Bai skillfully pushed open the door to the activity room, which he had been opening for three years. Several girls had just taken out their tea sets and hadn't had time to start drinking tea yet.

"Bai-chan~ You've come at the perfect time! Here, this is chocolate!" Hirasawa Yui grinned and handed Dongfang Bai a piece of chocolate, which made Dongfang Bai's eyes widen in surprise.

He genuinely didn't expect that the first person to give him chocolate would be Hirasawa Yui. However, given her naturally naive personality, she probably wouldn't know anything about 'true love chocolate'. She'd probably just give him 'friendship chocolate' like everyone else.

"So fast!" Nakano Azusa exclaimed, clutching her pocket tightly. She had just been about to get up when Hirasawa Yui beat her to it.

"..." And Akiyama Mio was even more interesting. Because she was too nervous, she simply lay down on the chair with her eyes vacant.

"I never expected that you, Yui, could make chocolate. You can't judge a book by its cover." Ritsu, who was sitting to the side, was also very surprised. She thought that Hirasawa Yui was the type who would sneak a bite of the chocolate halfway through making it.

"Oh dear, Yu helped me make this, but it's still a chocolate I made myself!" Hirasawa Yui proudly raised her little head, her confident look prompting the others to silently mutter a few complaints in their minds.

The vast majority of them are just doing the work of worry, and they're actually making things worse, right?

"Good, good~ As expected of Wei, amazing!" Dongfang Bai didn't think too much about it, gently patted the girl's head and praised her, making her chuckle smugly. Her smugness made the team leader wish she could show her the reality.

"Seriously, Ah Bai, don't spoil her so much. You'll be a typical example of parents who overindulge their children in the future," Ritsu Tainaka complained, holding the back of her head with both hands.

“A father who spoils his child doesn’t seem so bad…” The girl sitting next to her clasped her hands together and muttered to herself, prompting Ritsu to shout, “Hey Mio, don’t get into weird fantasies!”

"However, black coffee with chocolate is really great! The bitterness makes the sweetness stand out even more. As expected of Tsumugi!"

Dongfang Bai took a sip of the bitter black coffee, then took a bite of chocolate and immediately felt the cloying sweetness. Kotobuki Tsumugi smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

“~Senior! Would you like another drink?!” Nakano Azusa suddenly stood up and spoke to Dongfang Bai with a serious expression. Dongfang Bai rarely saw her with this expression, so he was stunned for a moment before subconsciously nodding.

He had only drunk half of it when the girl stood up again to refill his cup for the third time. This seemed to be a special secret, an unlimited coffee system, making one wonder how that small pot of coffee could produce so much.

"Another cup, senior!"

"Senior Bai, let me pour it for you..."

In the following days, whenever Dongfang Bai dared to drink that cup of coffee, Zhongye Zi would immediately refill it for him. Even if he didn't drink it, he would be stared at by the girl's somewhat eerie gaze, leaving him no choice but to grit his teeth and drink it.

"Hey, Azusa, this is the seventh cup already, that should be enough, right?" Dongfang Bai (Good Zhao) finally finished his last cup of black coffee, and Nakano Azusa was about to pour him another when he was stopped by Dongfang Bai.

He really couldn't drink any more. If he kept drinking, he wondered if he would be unable to sleep all night because of drinking too much coffee.

"Yes, yes, then it's time." Nakano Azusa's face turned bright red. She did realize that she had gone too far, so she simply took out a chocolate wrapped in light purple paper from her pocket.

"Senior, please accept this if you don't mind!" Nakano Azusa took a deep breath, then lowered her head slightly and stuffed the chocolate into Dongfang Bai's arms, leaving him no chance to refuse.

Because I've drunk so much bitter black coffee, I'm actually craving something sweet now.

[P.S.: When would be a good time to release the new book?]

"My tongue is almost numb from the bitterness of the coffee." Dongfang Bai was both amused and exasperated. After all, he had drunk seven cups of coffee in one go. He should have been full by now, especially since it was such bitter black coffee. He could only feel the bitterness in his throat.

Even if he doesn't dislike black coffee, drinking this much is still too much for him.

"That's really ruthless." Ritsu, sitting next to Hirasawa Yui, wiped the cold sweat from her smooth forehead. As expected of Azusa in full Valentine's Day mode, she's much stronger than the guy next to her who doesn't dare to say a word.

Ritsu Tainaka glanced at Mio Akiyama hiding in the corner, then narrowed his eyes, swiftly picked up a cookie, and threw it with lightning speed, hitting the girl precisely on the forehead.

"Ouch...!" Akiyama Mio instinctively covered her head, and as soon as she looked up, she met Tainaka Ritsu's eyes. The two began to communicate with their eyes. The childhood friends who had been together since they were young were quite in sync in this regard.

Why didn't you deliver the chocolates? I remember you should have done it on day 137!

Ritsu Tainaka started sending messages to Mio Akiyama with winks and gestures, and Mio Akiyama instantly understood, frowning with a hint of grievance, and sending back the message with an emoji.

[Actually, I was just about to give it to her, but Azusa beat me to it, and now I don't know what to do...]

"I see," Ritsu Tainaka gave her a knowing look. No wonder she saw Mio Akiyama looking like she was about to get up, but then inexplicably sat down again.

It turns out that Dongfang Bai was held down by Zhongye Zi before she could, so she felt it would be a bit awkward to get up at this time, and it would also make it difficult for Azusa to give away the chocolate.

Waaah, as expected of my Mio-chan! She's so considerate of others, but love isn't something you can just give up! If you don't try now and still can't confess before graduation, then Shiro-kun will have to go back to China.

The thought of Dongfang Bai returning to China and causing Akiyama Mio to be sullen all day gave Tainaka Ritsu a headache.

(aeej)

"There's really no other way~" Ritsu Tainaka shook her head with a wry smile. It seems that in the end, she, the world-class wingman, has to make a move. Ritsu suddenly stood up, took two steps to Akiyama Mio's back, and hugged her.

"Huh?! Ritsu, what are you doing..." Akiyama Mio was startled when the other person suddenly pounced on her, but the next second Ritsu Tainaka's words dispelled her confusion.

"I knew it! Today is Valentine's Day, right? Did Mio make chocolates too? Who did she give them to?" Ritsu Tainaka's tone was as if she was surprised. Her appearance, tone, and expression made it seem as if she knew nothing about the chocolates.

If she were to act, her lifelike performance would be so convincing that it would be a disservice not to award her a Best Actor award.

"This...this..." Akiyama Mio was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. She finally understood what Tainaka Ritsu meant by "giving you a hand." So it meant she was being forced to self-destruct?!

Just tell her everything about the chocolate. That way, no matter how shy she is, she won't be able to hide it. On the contrary, the more she tries to hide it, the more suspicious she will seem.

"Mio made chocolate too?" Hirasawa Yui's beautiful eyes widened. She had just thought she would only be able to watch Higashikata eat the chocolate made by Azusa, but she didn't expect that Mio would make it too.

"Mio! This is friendship chocolate, right? Can I take it..." Before Yui could finish speaking, Kotobuki Tsumugi, who had been standing to the side with a smile, reached out and grabbed her mouth, silently pulling her aside.

"Nice, Tsumugi!" Ritsu Tainaka mentally gave the young lady a thumbs up and continued, "But, besides Shiro, Mio probably doesn't have any other male friends, right? Is this perhaps a gift for Shiro-san?"

"Rule!!" Akiyama Mio shouted in her heart, feeling ashamed and indignant. This left her with no way to defend herself and could only passively give the answer of "yes" or "no."

And there's no way she could say 'no,' so there's only one answer left: ...

"Yes, it's meant for Bai-kun. May I accept it?" Akiyama Mio's tone was quite gentle, like a light veil brushing against one's face. Her girlish voice also carried a hint of maturity, and the charm she exuded was definitely not as simple as one plus one.

"Of course!" Dongfang Bai accepted the chocolates with delight. He received chocolates made by Azusa and Mio in one go. It would be a lie to say he wasn't happy. At least he was in a very good mood. Moreover, he blushed because of Mio's appearance just now.

"Phew." Akiyama Mio breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had finally given away her chocolates. The girl's cheeks were flushed. She glanced gratefully at Tainaka Ritsu, then sat down, but her gaze remained fixed on Dongfang Bai.

"By the way, how's the training for that song going?" Dongfang Bai asked abruptly as he unwrapped a bag of chocolates.

The sudden change of topic surprised everyone, because it was too embarrassing for him to be stared at while he was eating chocolate, so he had no choice but to find a random topic to attract the attention of the girls.

Azusa's chocolate was a milky white chocolate shaped like a cat's face, as delicate and cute as she was, exuding a faint milky fragrance. Dongfang Bai couldn't help but smile, while the chocolate given by Akiyama Mio on the other side was completely unexpected to him.

What is this?!

Dongfang Bai suppressed his surprise and looked at the exquisitely packaged Chopped Ragnarok chocolate inside the bag. So Mio was such a virtuous girl, capable of making something so exquisite.

What to do? It's so good that he's a little reluctant to eat it.

"Of course! I practice every day exactly according to Shira-chan's training methods, and now I can play the 'Slippery Egg' backwards all by myself!" Hirasawa proudly raised her head, her guitar skills now much better than before.

She has basically reached the threshold of a professional band. With a little more practice and refinement, she can reach the level of a professional band guitarist, which is simply incredible for a high school girl.

"Amazing, amazing." Dongfang Bai gently patted Pingze Wei's head and praised her as if she were praising her daughter. This made her very proud, and she raised her little head and put her hands on her hips.

"Bai-kun, you're spoiling Yui too much..." Akiyama Mio said helplessly, while Nakano Azusa looked at Hirasawa Yui, who was being patted on the head by Dongfang Bai, with a hint of envy in her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.

"Ah, I almost forgot, my guitar hasn't been tuned yet..." Suddenly remembering something important, Azumi stood up abruptly and walked straight to the guitar that was placed next to her.

"Oh, no need to rush, we're not practicing today anyway..." Before Tainaka Ritsu could finish speaking, he was glared at fiercely by Akiyama Mio, and his expression changed. He immediately swallowed his words back.

She's not someone to mess with; when she's serious, Akiyama Mio is practically the strongest member of the Light Music Club.

"Practice is still necessary." Dongfang Bai took a sip of hot black tea and said slowly, but from his tone, there was no sense of 'nervousness' at all.

"Strange, why can't I open the bag..." Azumi, who was squatting next to the cabinet, frowned and tried to pull on her instrument bag containing her guitar. It seemed that the zipper was stuck and she couldn't open it for a long time.

"Let me take a look."

"Huh!?"

Dongfang Bai put down his teacup and quickly went over. As soon as he got there, Azimiao pulled hard. Although the bag was indeed opened, she completely lost her balance and fell backward uncontrollably.

"Azumi-neko!"

"Azusa!!"
