Let's do it again, Yukino.

"Okay, okay, I won't pry into your privacy anymore. If you don't have enough money on you next time, don't come to the amusement park. If I see that kind of scene again, I won't just be gentle with a kick."

Thank you.

It just so happens that the location where Xiaoxue is is also some distance away from where Kasuga and the others are. No matter how amazing Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyesight is, she can't see that far.

……

…………

After taking several detours, Haruhi finally arrived at Yuki's side, who was resting on a bench in the corner of the park, when she sensed that Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze was no longer fixed on her.

She sat down quite naturally in the empty seat that Yukino had left for her, and handed the ice cream in her hand to Yukino in a somewhat ingratiating manner.

"Xiaoxue, here, this is for you."

"..."

Yukino glanced at the rather hot weather, then at the ice cream in her hand that was slowly melting, and a drop of sticky cream accidentally landed on the back of her fair hand.

"Did you go buy ice cream?"

Yukinoshita couldn't help but look at Haruhi, who was sitting next to her, and swallowed all the ice cream in two or three bites, and asked a question.

"Yes, it's really hot."

After finishing the whole ice cream, he felt his previously hot heart suddenly cool down. He took a deep breath, his mouth almost filled with the incredibly refreshing icy sensation.

"Eat it quickly, it's already melting."

Spring looked at Xiaoxue, who was only holding the ice cream but not eating it. Then, with a quick glance, she carefully moved Xiaoxue's hand holding the ice cream closer to her. She brought her lips close and licked all the cream that had spilled onto the back of the girl's hand.

With a faint trace of milk residue still lingering on her lips, Chunri clicked her tongue and sighed, "The taste is not bad, but it seems a little different from my taste."

"It's so itchy..."

The cream dripping onto her skin initially felt cool and sticky, but after Chunri licked it, she suddenly felt as if a group of ants were crawling all over the back of her hand.

A blush crept onto the girl's previously calm face. She brought the ice cream to her lips, sticking out her delicate pink tongue, and without saying much, began to eat it in small bites.

Glug glug ...

As Chunri gazed at Xiaoxue's smooth, sensual little tongue, which swam like a koi fish, he inexplicably swallowed hard, his face flushed, and turned away.

As expected, boys' impulsiveness during puberty is a bit too intense...

The boy thought to himself silently.

He was thinking this way,

A delicate fragrance wafted over, and the girl's tender, white fingers reached out from the side.

Xiaoxue's fingertip picked up the cream still left on Chunri's lips, and before Chunri could react, the girl's fair fingers quickly parted his lips and went directly into Chunri's mouth.

The sweetness of the cream blended with the smooth, soft skin.

Is this a brand new version of ice cream?

"Is it good?"

With her other hand still holding the ice cream, Xiaoxue asked softly.

"good."

Under the sweltering sun,

The boy, who felt a chill in his mouth, replied in this way.

……

And in the distance,

Snap—

A middle-aged female teacher, who was secretly watching her beloved student's every move, suddenly dropped her ice cream on the ground.

Cream mixed with soil,

Covering her mouth,

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

This world is crazy!!

She wanted some peace and quiet!

I'm recommending the book "Haruka Kasugano's Invincible Life." Feel free to add it to your favorites if you're interested. Although I think most of you have probably already seen it.

Chapter Sixty-Nine Arrives as Promised

Sunday morning,

Click, clang.

Springtime was awakened by the sound of the minute hand turning. At the crucial moment, before the alarm clock went off, he quickly pressed the switch in advance.

Instead of getting out of bed immediately, Haruhi first glanced at the figure lying beside her.

The girl's eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her delicate nose was sparkling, and her breathing was steady.

All of this indicates that the girl is still asleep.

After all, yesterday, Chunri spent the whole day with this girl at the amusement park, going on all the rides, both up and down.

Seemingly driven by a desire for thrills and excitement, Xiaoxue first took him to a roller coaster named "Soaring to the Sky," which cruised along a rather winding and spiraling track.

Pirate ship, haunted house, ocean world, and so on—he patiently accompanied Xiaoxue to any place she was interested in.

When the two left the amusement park...

It was already evening.

The sunlight, tinged with a touch of loneliness.

Springtime, who hadn't had a good time playing at the amusement park with Xiaoxue until they were exhausted in a long time, looked quite happy. Although the girl next to her was a little tired, there was no displeasure in her eyes, and it was clear that the girl was also very satisfied with the trip.

As for dinner, they unanimously chose a restaurant not far from the park and enjoyed a delicious meal.

There are only two reasons why Kasuga did this.

First, he genuinely wanted Xiaoxue to relax and soothe her somewhat depressed mood through this venting-like method.

As for the other one, hah...

……

My thoughts gradually returned to normal.

Looking at the still-sleeping Xiaoxue, Chunri couldn't help but smile.

So you were too tired yesterday to get up?

At this time on a normal day, the girl would probably have already woken up and gone about her business.

He looked up and glanced at the sun high in the sky outside the window. In order not to wake Xiaoxue, he tiptoed out of bed and left the room.

As soon as I stepped out of the bedroom and into the living room, the air, which had become somewhat humid and hot due to the summer, was filled with the unique moisture of the early morning.

Chunri didn't seem to care much. After washing up in the bathroom and changing into clean casual clothes, he went into the kitchen.

After eating some leftovers from the refrigerator, Chunri put on the glasses that Xiaoxue had given her.

Without disturbing Xiaoxue, who was still silent in the bedroom, Chunri wrote a note on the dining table, telling her not to wait for him to have lunch.

At the entrance, Chunri only left behind the words "I'm going out" before hurriedly leaving the apartment.

……

Stepping outside in spring feels like being bathed in the heat of summer.

Compared to yesterday, the sun is much more scorching today. Even though the sun hasn't fully risen into the sky yet, it's still unbearably hot.

We traveled along the road, passing parks and shopping streets, amidst the bustling crowds.

Ugh, this is such a hassle.

As Chunri walked towards the station, she inwardly grumbled with some anguish.

The process of buying tickets and boarding the train made Haruhi a little irritable. For someone like him who rarely takes the train to places other than Chiba, it was so boring that he felt somewhat stifled.

Before long, Kasuga arrived at the platform and, following the station announcements, boarded the train bound for Tokyo.

The distance between Chiba and Tokyo is not too far; it takes about one to two hours by train.

There weren't many people in the carriage. Apart from Chunri, who looked relatively young, the people sitting around him were all middle-aged people.

"Shuchiin..."

Chunri, who was sitting in his seat, touched his nose. The gentle and cheerful expression he had when he was with Xiaoxue had long since faded, and now he was as gloomy as water.

On Friday, Kasuga received an email on the phone Junko had given her, from someone named "Hayasaka Ai," inviting her to Shuchiin Academy in Tokyo.

He had even gone to the trouble of getting a new SIM card, and only a handful of people, including Master Hiratsuka and Koyuki, knew the new number.

However, their privacy was still discovered by people other than them...

Spring sighed in the train carriage, a sigh that was hard to describe.

As for Hayasaka Ai...

Well, if Haruhi isn't mistaken, she should be the blonde ponytail girl he rescued from those delinquents not long ago.

For some reason, even though they had only met once, Hayasaka Ai seemed to be paying extra attention to her.

In his past life, he truly had no recollection of that girl whatsoever.

However, to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble, he specially arranged to go to the amusement park with Xiaoxue yesterday to have a great time. He planned to take advantage of Xiaoxue's sleep to go to Tokyo and settle everything that had nothing to do with him.

This is such a hassle.

Thinking of this, he scratched his head, feeling extremely frustrated.

……

Time passed slowly, and Chunri took a leisurely nap in her seat.
