The girl spoke very softly, so much so that even with Ye Ziye's hearing, he couldn't quite make it out.
I said no.
Artoria's voice grew louder, making it clear to Ye Ziye.
The girl's cute face had a serious expression, which made Ye Ziye pause for a moment.
Why?
"I want to walk home."
Artoria spoke slowly and deliberately. This wasn't the first time she had offered her opinions to Ye Ziye, but she had never been so serious before.
She had experienced a lot tonight, and for some reason, she really wanted to continue this journey with Ye Ziye, even if they didn't say a word to each other.
Perhaps Ye Ziye could carry her on his back; that would feel quite nice. There's no need to ride on his shoulders, though it would offer a wide view, it would be a bit embarrassing.
This shyness wasn't directed at outsiders, but at Ye Ziye. For a young girl, such a posture would definitely make her shy.
Ye Ziye remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, let's go home then."
"what?"
She seemed surprised that Ye Ziye agreed so readily; she thought she would have to argue her case for a while longer.
Seeing what Artoria was thinking, Ye Ziye gently rubbed her soft little face and said...
"What are you thinking? It's not like you're making any unreasonable demands. Just think of it as a walk. I'm not some unreasonable dictator. I've already agreed to most of your requests."
"It seems so..."
Artoria snapped out of her daze; she had taken this far too seriously.
In her memory, Ye Ziye was someone who hated exercise, but simply taking a walk didn't seem like exercise, especially since it was evening...
"Alright, let's hurry up and go. This place isn't exactly close to our home."
Ye Ziye pursed her lips and said no more, striding forward.
Artoria paused for a moment, then quickly followed after him with her short legs.
"Ok!"
Chapter 333
Half an hour later, the two finally returned home. Thanks to her physical enhancement skills, Ye Ziye did not feel too tired, and Altria was even less so. In terms of physical strength, she surpassed 99% of the people on this planet.
Maybe it's 100% certain.
"Finally home."
Ye Ziye let out a long breath and rubbed his knees imperceptibly. He had been wearing wooden clogs, which were inconvenient for walking, the whole way back.
Unlike Artoria, who wears slippers and moves around very easily.
"Yes, I'm home."
Unlike the listless Ye Ziye, Artoria seemed quite energetic, skipping and hopping into the house.
The two of them didn't lock the door when they left. There wasn't anything valuable in the house; the only valuable thing was probably Garfield, the purebred Garfield cat.
However, given Garfield's size, even if a thief were to break in, they probably wouldn't bother trying to carry away a cat.
"Garfield, I'm home!"
Artoria was very excited and immediately picked up the sleepy Garfield and rubbed his face against hers.
Tonight is the happiest time she's had since arriving in this country. The last time she was this happy was when she first picked up a sword as a child.
Seeing Artoria's excited expression, Ye Ziye didn't disturb her. He quietly walked to the sofa and sat down, wanting to rest all he wanted right now.
The exhaustion from this long journey is different from the fatigue of shopping with a girl. If you have to describe the parting, it's that it lacks some of the mental torment.
After all, Artoria was very well-behaved and wouldn't let him make any choices. She rarely spoke along the way, holding his hand as they walked, like a pet.
Ye Ziye turned on the air conditioner, but didn't move. He just slumped onto the sofa, tossing his wooden clogs aside. He probably wouldn't wear those strange shoes again.
Because very few of the men attending the fireworks festival today were wearing yukatas, let alone geta (wooden sandals).
The so-called "fitting in" was just the saleswoman's side of the story, but Ye Ziye didn't care. After all, it was for making a living, and wearing certain clothes on such days wasn't such an unacceptable fact.
hum~
While Ye Ziye was resting, his phone suddenly rang again.
Not far away, Artoria was still playing with Garfield and didn't hear the phone vibrate. Ye Ziye sighed softly. He didn't know why, but there were an unusually large number of people calling him on his phone today.
Ye Ziye slowly brought her phone to her face, glanced at the sender, and instantly perked up.
The person who sent the message was Kato Megumi, Yoko Yo's first official friend. The two had never met since the start of summer vacation.
They had never chatted on their phones, but Ye Ziye wasn't worried at all that their relationship would fade because of it; that was almost impossible.
Kato Megumi's profile picture still features that white beret, and a sentence is currently flashing on it.
Hui: Yezi, did you go to the fireworks display today?
A casual greeting puzzled Ye Ziye. Even though he was not good at interpersonal communication, he knew that such a greeting should be given during the fireworks festival.
Then the two of them have a chance encounter, and all sorts of stories unfold.
But now that the fireworks festival is long over, sending this message feels like asking for your review.
However, Kato Megumi's next words dispelled Ye Ziye's doubts.
Hui: I wanted to message you earlier, but I was afraid of disturbing your fireworks viewing, so I'm only messaging you now.
Ye Ziye understood and sent a message as well.
Ye Zi: Yeah, I went to see the fireworks, they were beautiful.
There are no extra words, just simple feelings.
This has always been their style of conversation—calm and seemingly uneventful, which also means that nothing will change.
Megumi: Did you go with Artoria or Yukinoshita?
For some reason, Ye Ziye suddenly felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the message sent by Kato Megumi.
It felt as if Ms. Kato's calm eyes were staring at him intently from a short distance away, without a trace of emotion.
Shaking his head, Ye Ziye calmed himself down, realizing that he must have been too tired to have such strange thoughts.
Leaf: It's with Artoria.
Kato Megumi was fully aware that the two of them were living together, so Ye Ziye had no intention of hiding it and simply said it openly.
Hui: I knew it...
Yezi: Why did you decide to talk to me today?
Ye Ziye raised his question. He thought the two of them would have to wait until the start of the semester to talk again, but he wasn't worried at all that it would affect their relationship.
Hui: There's no reason, I just suddenly wanted to talk to you after watching the fireworks, is that not allowed?
A strange feeling washed over him again. Ye Ziye shook his head. It was just a normal conversation, but he always felt like he was at a disadvantage, and he didn't know why.
Leaf: Of course.
After the straight man answered, even Kato Megumi didn't continue speaking. Ye Ziye glanced at it twice and then prepared to put away his phone. He needed to rest and then organize what he had learned that night and write it into his novel.
But just as he got up, his phone rang again.
Hui: I went to the fireworks festival today too, all by myself. If I had run into you, that would have been so great...
Hui: It's getting late, you should get some rest.
Kato Megumi's image dimmed, and Ye Ziye was also somewhat stunned as that beautiful face, which didn't belong to any girl, appeared in his mind.
For some reason, his heart skipped a beat when he saw those words from Kato Megumi.
He began to look forward to meeting Ms. Kato.
Ye Ziye sent a "goodnight" message to the dim profile picture and finally put her phone away.
Ms. Kato's letter was sudden, yet not entirely sudden; the things that happened to this girl always felt so natural and inevitable.
"Yes, I wish we could run into each other..."
Muttering to herself, Ye Ziye returned to her room.
It seems his luck won't last forever; fate is a mysterious thing.
Chapter 334
At 10:00 AM on August 15th, Ye Ziye was in the kitchen, her face serious.
Artoria was there to help, but this time she wasn't using the guise of helping to steal food; she was genuinely helping because Ye Ziye really needed assistance.
"Saber, please bring me the meat from the refrigerator."
Ye Zi, hands on his hips, gave instructions, preparing a delicious lunch for the guests who would be arriving at his home.
After attending the fireworks display, Ye Ziye didn't cook anything elaborate, partly because it was too hot, and partly because summer vacation was almost over and he wanted to take a good rest.
However, the guests who came today were quite special, so he had to take them seriously.
The person who came today can't even be called a guest, because it's Fujiwara Chika, the girl who gives Ye Ziye a huge headache and whom he considers his nemesis.
Ye Ziye didn't know why Fujiwara Chika wanted to come over; it might just be a sudden idea. This girl's thoughts were always so unpredictable.
He remembered that Fujiwara Chika had been in Hawaii a few days ago, and she had probably just returned to Japan.
Last night at 10 o'clock, without any warning, Fujiwara Chika sent a message saying that she wanted to eat the food that Yoko Yoru made.
Ye Ziye is not a pushover. If it were Ms. Kato, he would definitely agree, but with Fujiwara Chika, he clearly refused, and refused her firmly.
However, it is obvious that Fujiwara Chika is intermittently blind, completely ignoring the refusal. After saying "It's noon today," her profile picture turned gray.
That night, after witnessing this scene, Ye Ziye chose to put away her phone and, unusually, went to sleep early, because today was destined to be an extraordinary day.
With a soft sigh, Ye Ziye stopped thinking about it. Judging from the time, Fujiwara Chika should be arriving soon, but he hadn't started cooking yet.
"Saber, haven't you brought it yet?"
"Almost there!"
