Looking into Artoria's eyes, Ye Ziye paused in putting on his shoes, sighed helplessly, and realized that he couldn't stand this anymore.

"You should stay with me. I don't know when I'll be back, so don't miss your meals."

Thinking back to my previous idea of ​​taking Artoria with me when I go out in the future, I think it's better to keep this promise.

He has already disobeyed this girl once, and he won't do it a second time.

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes!"

Hearing Ye Ziye's words, Artoria's eyes lit up, and she quickly darted into her bedroom.

As usual, she was wearing lion pajamas at home, which looked very refreshing. Of course, she couldn't wear this outfit outside, so changing clothes was the right choice.

A moment later, Artoria came out of the bedroom, her lion pajamas transformed into a white short-sleeved shirt and a blue skirt, two colors that suited the girl well.

Let's go!

Artoria's eyes were bright. Actually, she didn't like going out. She just liked the feeling of being by Ye Ziye's side. Whether it was eating or practicing swordsmanship, being with this boy always made her happy.

"Ah."

Ye Ziye responded and then turned off the air conditioner to avoid unnecessary waste. It would be a pity if no one was home to enjoy the air conditioning when the power came back on.

"Oh right, I almost forgot something."

Artoria patted her head and went back into the room. When she came out, she had a sunscreen spray in her hand. She sprayed it on Ye Ziye and herself as before and nodded in satisfaction.

"Preparation is complete!"

"Then let's set off."

Seeing Artoria's little hand clutching his fingers, Ye Ziye pushed open the door.

This was the second time the two of them had gone out since the summer vacation started. Ye Ziye had originally thought that he and Artoria would stay in the house for the entire summer vacation without going out.

Perhaps because of the hot weather, there weren't many people on the streets at this time of day.

Only a few children were playing in the shade, while some elderly people, over fifty years old, watched over them with smiles on their faces, even though sweat was dripping from their temples.

Ye Ziye and Altria were both walking in the shade, where the heatwave was clearly visible, and neither of them liked extreme weather.

Occasionally, a sea breeze would blow in, but it still couldn't dispel the heat.

"Ye Zi, where are we going?"

Stepping on Ye Ziye's shadow, Artoria asked with some curiosity.

By this time, their hands had already parted. Although holding hands felt reassuring, it was also genuinely hot. For the sake of both of them, Artoria decided to let go.

As for the watermelon, the two of them ate it the moment it came out to combat the heat.

Ye Ziye rubbed her hair, feeling that having such long hair in the summer was still a bit of a hassle.

"Go to the mall and you'll see Yukino Yukinoshita; you should recognize her."

"Yukinoshita-san? I do know her."

Artoria recalled the girl who performed on stage with Ye Ziye at the cultural performance. She was indeed as beautiful as a fairy, and Artoria felt somewhat inferior to her.

Because of her regular exercise, Artoria always felt that she did not have the figure a young girl should have.

But in reality, she looked no different from a normal girl, with frighteningly thin arms that made it impossible to tell what kind of power was hidden within them.

The two remained silent. Ye Ziye wiped non-existent sweat from her forehead, realizing that being a good person who protects a child's dream is truly not easy.

He had originally wanted to experience what it would feel like to wear a Kamen Rider suit, but in this weather, he felt hot even in short sleeves and shorts, let alone wearing a suit.

He has always considered himself a selfish person, but judging from the current situation, he can be considered a good person, at least for now.

In the sweltering heat, time seemed to stand still, but thanks to their tireless efforts, they successfully arrived at the mall.

During the summer vacation, there weren't many people in the square. It seems that not everyone is a fool; only a minority of people are out looking for a partner in this kind of weather.

Ye Ziye remained where she was, and without hesitating for long, she walked in one direction.

As someone who loves coolness, having endured prolonged heat, he always has a strange intuition for places that exude a cold aura, and that's the place he's going to now.

He felt that Yukino Yukinoshita must be waiting there.

Artoria didn't say anything, continuing to follow behind Ye Ziye. This time, she was just tagging along, experiencing life as a sidekick.

Chapter 265

Ye Ziye walked forward without the slightest hesitation, while Artoria followed behind him, stepping on his shadow, seemingly finding this childish activity quite amusing.

A familiar figure appeared before them—it was Yukino Yukinoshita.

Just as Ye Ziye had predicted, the girl, to prevent Ye Ziye from not being able to find her, did not go inside the mall, but instead squatted in the shadows outside.

Even in this sweltering heat, many people still stood in the sunlight watching, because Yukino Yukinoshita had her chin resting on her knees, looking just like someone heartbroken.

"Under the Snow".

With a soft call, the girl raised her head, revealing a masterpiece of God's artistry; in the sunlight, her pretty face was even more stunning.

"Ye Zi, you've come."

Yukino Yukinoshita had a faint smile on her lips before standing up. She was dressed in a neutral style as usual, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and capri pants instead of a flowy dress in the hot weather.

Both conservative and beautiful.

For some reason, seeing Yukino Yukinoshita dressed like this, Ye Ziye felt a sense of relief.

He didn't know why he felt this way, but it didn't matter. He had already met Yukino Yukinoshita today, and that was enough.

The sunlight was too scorching, so Yoko didn't wait for Yukino to come over and instead went to a shady spot.

For some reason, getting close to Yukino Yukinoshita wasn't as refreshing as I'd imagined. It seemed that over time, the girl's aloof demeanor was gradually changing.

"Hello, Artoria."

Although Artoria was hidden in the shadows behind Ye Ziye, Yukino Yukinoshita spotted the petite girl at a glance. There was no particular reason; her single, bright golden ahoge (cowlick) was simply too eye-catching.

Yukino Yukinoshita was somewhat surprised, but not at all, that Ye Ziye had brought Artoria along.

She already knew that the two of them were living together, so it didn't seem too strange for them to be doing things together.

"Hello, Yukinoshita-san."

Stepping out from behind Ye Ziye, Artoria's cute face wore a serious expression. She still admired Yukino Yukinoshita quite a bit.

The way the two girls met was unexpectedly harmonious, which surprised Ye Ziye. He had thought something unexpected was going to happen, but now it seems he was overthinking it.

Indeed, the encounter between understanding girls is full of harmony.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that all the girls around him already know each other, which is quite a strange thing.

After staring at Artoria's ahoge (cowlick) for a while, Yukino Yukinoshita withdrew her gaze and suppressed the urge to pluck it out, before speaking.

"Ye Zi, let's go inside the mall and talk."

Despite her cool and aloof demeanor, Yukino Yukinoshita herself doesn't seem to realize it. Even in the sweltering summer heat, she feels hot and takes great care to protect herself from the sun when she goes out.

"Yes, you can actually wait inside the mall."

"If I'm in the mall, you won't be able to find me, will you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked puzzled, not understanding why Yoru would say such a thing.

Ye Ziye opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated, considering whether or not to tell Yukino Yukinoshita that there was a video function on his phone.

Although he had never used it, he thought that using this function to determine the location of two people couldn't be simpler.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Ziye still didn't say it. If Yukino Yukinoshita could endure the heat and wait for him outside, then he shouldn't be so insensitive.

"Okay, let's go in."

Walking ahead of the two girls, Ye Ziye headed into the mall.

Perhaps being bad at directions is a common problem for pretty girls; neither Yukino Yukinoshita nor Artoria are particularly good at finding their way around.

The two girls exchanged a glance and silently followed behind Ye Ziye. In fact, if he hadn't been there, they would have already grabbed his clothes.

Although Ye Ziye wasn't wearing long-sleeved clothes, she could still pull up the hem of her short-sleeved shirt.

As Ye Ziye stepped into the mall, a cool breeze swept over her, and she squinted her eyes comfortably. To be honest, this mall truly lived up to its reputation as the largest in the area; it was incredibly luxurious.

During the sweltering summer, the air conditioning is on 24 hours a day, and many people stroll around the mall, mostly there to enjoy the air conditioning.

"Let's find somewhere to talk."

Seeing so many people gathered here, Ye Ziye offered his suggestion. He didn't like standing in crowded places, as it made him feel awkward and helpless.

Moreover, there are just too many people today. People who usually look for partners outside have all gone inside the mall, so it's bound to be crowded.

...

"it is good."

Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't really like crowds either, and besides, there are places she wants to go.

"How about we go to that bubble tea shop we went to last time?"

That was the first group activity of the Service Club, and Yukino Yukinoshita still remembers it vividly. The milk tea in that milk tea shop was much worse than the black tea brewed by Yoko, but that kind of place always had a special meaning.

"can."

Ye Ziye had no objections, as long as there was a place with a seat.

Artoria nodded silently. As long as she was with Ye Ziye, that was enough for her; the two of them had come out together.

She also thought it was nice here, the air conditioning was very cool.

Having decided on their destination, the three of them didn't hesitate and headed towards the milk tea shop, with Ye Ziye leading the way as always.

Even though Yukino Yukinoshita knew the route, she still liked to follow behind.

No matter what country or place, a combination of handsome men and beautiful women always attracts attention. In just a short while, Ye Ziye felt several jealous gazes directed at him.

This is only natural. He doesn't blame these people for their gaze, nor does he feel proud because there are many beautiful girls around him.

These girls changed his life, and in some ways, they changed him as a person.

The selfish Ye Zijun has become kind.

As before, there weren't many people gathered in the milk tea shop.
