A reversal of fortune and victory in a world hated by all girls!

Just then, a text message arrived.

Rina slowly opened her eyes, glanced at her phone, and saw a text message from Mao: "Rina, is it convenient for us to video chat?"

Lina looked around, took her phone to a more distant spot, and then made a video call. Five seconds later, the other end answered, and both of them were pleasantly surprised to see each other on the phone screen.

"Awoo!"

"Lina!"

The two little figures were initially excited, but the phone screen was too small to easily find the content on the whiteboard, so Lina simply chose to type her reply.

"I came to your house to play, but unfortunately you weren't home. My aunt is here too, and she's chatting with her older brother's dad right now."

"What a pity, I went fishing with Natsuki and the others."

"Fishing! That sounds so interesting!"

"Yes~" Lina smiled sweetly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"However... my aunt seems to have something on her mind. She seems unhappy because she didn't see my older brother."

Ok……

Lina stopped typing, thought for a moment, craned her neck, glanced at Natsuki who was still intently playing cards in the distance, and then continued writing:

"Would you like Takahashi-neechan to video chat with Natsuki?"

On the other end of the screen, Mao shook her head and said seriously, "Rina, don't you understand? My aunt actually cares a lot about my older brother. Girls get shy at this time."

"Should I have Natsuki call her?"

"I already told you I'd be shy. Listen up, Lina, I need you to do me a favor."

"What kind of help is it?"

"I want my aunt to confess her feelings to my older brother! Lina, what do you think?"

Chapter 127 Natsuki Aoi, I've got my hands on her!

When Lina saw this, several question marks suddenly popped into her little head. She then slowly raised her head, looked to the upper right, and began to imagine the figure of Takahashi-neechan. At the same time, Natsuki and herself were standing next to her.

Ok……

It looks pretty good.

Oh! Right! And Ji-chan too!

Suddenly, Ji-chan, wagging her tail, appears beside the three people in the fantasy.

Because Takahashi-nee asked Rina to adopt Ji-chan, and Takahashi-nee was the first person Rina knew, Rina actually liked Takahashi-nee more than all the other sisters, even though Takahashi-nee had a bad temper sometimes, but it had improved a lot recently.

Lina felt a little guilty and stole a glance at the two people playing cards not far away.

I'm really conflicted.

Two fingers kept waving on the phone screen, but hesitated to fall.

"Is it okay, Lina?"

Mao asked again.

Rina looked down at Mao, who had a sincere expression on her face, and finally nodded emphatically. She then began typing, "Okay, I'm willing to help."

"Alright, then we need to stick to the same story. My aunt specially cooked and brought food for my older brother. You might not be able to eat it while you're away. But my aunt has also taught herself to make cookies, so when you come back, you must let your older brother try them!"

"Um!"

"My plan is this: I'm going to secretly take my aunt's phone and send a timed confession text to my older brother. And the cookie will be the 'True Love Cookie' that she made. We'll coordinate our story and create that romantic atmosphere. I'm sure my older brother will say yes!"

Mao was very confident about the plan, but for Rina, who knew Natsuki very well, wasn't it a bit too simple? And what about Hayakawa-neechan…?

"Lina? Are you listening?"

Lina immediately snapped out of her daze and nodded blankly, "Mmm!"

"Okay! That's the plan. Don't worry! It will definitely succeed!"

Mao clenched her small fist, her face serious.

On the other hand, Lina had more on her mind.

……

A day later.

Sakurajima Anne's feet aren't as swollen as before, but she still can't walk. She'll probably need Aoi Natsuki to carry her the whole way back.

The group left the hotel gate. It was nearly a kilometer away from the bus, so they had to walk. At first, it was a smooth downhill road, but in the current situation, this downhill road made Aoi Natsuki very tired. Because he was carrying someone on his back, he had to take each step very carefully, which was like braking with every step. Before long, he began to pant heavily.

Hayakawa Keiko watched the two people behaving intimately from behind, but there was nothing she could do.

Every time Aoi Natsuki couldn't hold on and needed to be bounced on her, her heart would skip a beat.

"Are you very tired, Natsuki?" Hayakawa stepped forward and asked timidly.

"It's alright, we'll be on the main road soon, I can hold on a little longer." Aoi Natsuki was worried about missing the bus, which only comes every two or three hours, and if she missed it, she wouldn't be able to travel today.

Sakurajima Anne glanced at Hayakawa beside her with a smile, her eyebrows lowered, then pressed her whole body against Aoi's back, resting her head directly on his shoulder, and said softly, "Aoi, am I heavy?"

This immediately made Hayakawa panic, and he started waving his hands around.

"After a while, I can still feel it a little." Aoi Natsuki felt a tingling sensation in her ears. She tried hard not to think about Sakurajima behind her and instead looked at her feet, walking forward step by step.

A gust of wind blew by the roadside, ruffling Sakurajima's hair. She tilted her head back, took a deep breath, and then lay back comfortably on Aoi, completely ignoring Hayakawa's almost collapsing gaze beside her.

A few minutes later, the group successfully arrived at the bus stop. After only a minute's wait, the bus slowly pulled up from a distance. Aoi Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to get some rest.

After boarding the bus, Anne Sakurajima sat by the window, while Natsuki Aoi was forced to sit next to her, supposedly because he would be able to help her later.

Aoi Natsuki closed his eyes and rested quietly. For him, these past few days had been quite good. The difference in Hayakawa's special skill points had narrowed to 94 points, and the points for fishing had reached 18 points, with the increase approaching its peak. So, the next step should be to develop some of her other special skills.

He plans to bother Ayano more often in the near future to see if she can make a significant breakthrough in her manga skills in the short term.

Empty your mind and rest for a while.

When he opened his eyes, Sakurajima An was curled up beside him, leaning on his shoulder, also resting with her eyes closed, breathing steadily, and she really looked like she was asleep.

At this moment, Sakurajima looked like a sleeping beauty, and many passengers around her were attracted by her exquisite sleeping face, some even taking out their phones to take pictures.

It's no wonder that blonde girl wanted her to become an idol so much. How could a girl who could gain attention just by looking like she was sleeping not become a sensation?

However, whether or not she becomes an idol is Sakurajima's business, and he doesn't intend to offer any opinions; he just wants her to be.

Aoi Natsuki let out a long breath, then took out her phone, put on her headphones, and started watching videos. A three- or four-hour drive was quite a long journey.

……

After returning, Natsuki Aoi said goodbye to Hayakawa and then escorted Sakurajima home. It wasn't the first time he had done this, but practice makes perfect. However, the weather was noticeably colder than before, and Sakurajima, whether on purpose or not, pressed his entire body tightly against his back, making his back feel warm.

"So warm..." Anne Sakurajima buried her head in Aoi's neck and murmured softly.

Saying something like that at this time is against the rules!

Aoi Natsuki blushed slightly at her intimate gestures and words. Without saying a word, he quickly took her home. Because of his leg injury, he carried her upstairs on his back. The magnificent lobby and the view from the elevator's transparent glass windows were spectacular.

"Wow!" Lina pressed her hands and the tip of her nose against the glass, her gaze fixed on the buildings below that were gradually shrinking in size, as if she had truly become a giant.

They escorted Sakurajima all the way to the door. Sakurajima An, who was standing on one foot, was clearly reluctant to leave. When she turned around, her pouting face was very cute.

She tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Aoi..."

"Take good care of your injuries, it's time for us to go."

"Can't you stay a little longer?" Sakurajima Anne seemed to have completely figured out Aoi's true personality. Often, when she used this tone and these words, Aoi would soften and agree.

"It's almost eight o'clock, we should head back."

"Is nothing going to work?"

"No."

"Can't I even have my parents not be home today?"

"???" Aoi Natsuki rolled her eyes, then used her right index finger to tap Sakurajima Anne's forehead with a flick of the wrist. "Idiot, no matter what you say, it's no use. Get some rest. We really have to go home."

"Alright then." Sakurajima Anne looked incredibly disappointed, then her eyes gleamed furtively as she said in a gentle tone, "But I slept well in the car and I probably won't be able to sleep tonight. If you're still awake later, can I chat with you on my phone?"

The atmosphere became sweet and innocent for a moment.

This was undoubtedly Aoi Natsuki's weakness. His emotions, which had just calmed down, were stirred up again. To prevent his cheeks from flushing red again, he immediately coughed, pulled Rina, and turned to leave.

"whatever."

After saying that, he walked towards the elevator.

Sakurajima, leaning against the door frame, felt a warmth in her eyes as Aoi stepped into the elevator. Inside, Rina waved in her direction, and Sakurajima gently raised her right hand in a friendly response.

After Aoi turned around, he never looked back, but Sakurajima Anne could feel the humid heat in the air, a cloying smile on her face, watching the elevator doors slowly close.

"So this is the type Aoi likes." Sakurajima An stroked her face with her right hand, her little finger tracing a line, her mouth slightly open, gently biting her nail. Her mind drifted back to the events of the past few days, and a captivating smile spread across her face, lingering for a long time.

She felt,

I've already got Natsuki Aoi completely under my control.

Chapter 128 A desperate confession!

Aoi Natsuki brought Rina home. It was almost nine o'clock. Her parents had gone to bed at this time. When he unlocked the door, the entire corridor was pitch black. He changed into indoor shoes, walked to the dining room, and skillfully turned on the dining room light. After returning home, the fatigue that had been hidden in his body gradually surfaced. Although he had lain down for a while on the bus, he had not rested well. It felt best to be at home.

Aoi Natsuki slightly hunched her straight back, then stretched and told Rina to hurry upstairs to take a shower and go to bed.

After her parents returned, Lina's room was completely tidied up, and they bought some room decorations and sheets that little girls would use, making the whole room full of dreamy colors.

Lina stood still, seemingly preoccupied. What could possibly be on the mind of such a young child?

Aoi Natsuki went to the kitchen and poured two glasses of warm water for the two of them. After drinking them down, she found that Rina was still the same as before.

"What are you thinking about, Lina?"

Lina's body trembled. Her gaze fell on the clock on the wall, then she picked up the writing tablet and slowly wrote on it: "Can I watch TV a little longer?"

Seeing this, Natsuki Aoi relaxed and immediately said, "At this time, the anime you like to watch has finished airing. You can watch the requested content tomorrow morning. Kids shouldn't stay up late. Now be a good boy and go upstairs to sleep."

"Yes..." Lina's ellipsis gesture was very slow. Aoi Natsuki thought that Lina was feeling down because she heard that she couldn't watch cartoons, but in fact, Lina was just stalling for time.
