Holding the little figure, Ye Ziye went to the living room. At this time, Artoria had probably finished her training and was pouring cat food for Garfield. However, even with such a big commotion, Garfield was still not awake.

However, Ye Ziye suddenly remembered something. He didn't seem to have made Garfield's minifigure, but it didn't matter. A cat probably wouldn't have any objections.

As if by telepathy, Garfield suddenly opened his eyes while Ye Ziye was pondering this, his round pupils staring straight at him, his innocent eyes seeming to hold a hint of confusion.

Artoria also noticed Garfield's unusual behavior and looked over in the direction of its gaze.

"Ye Zi, you're awake."

"Yes, I just woke up. This is for you."

Ignoring Garfield's gaze, Ye Ziye walked up to Artoria and handed her the miniature figure.

"Ah! So beautiful!"

Artoria took the miniature figure in her own image with both hands, her face full of surprise, staring at it intently, seemingly very pleased.

Because she had never seen anything that looked so much like herself before, she felt as if the little figure in her hand was a carbon copy of her.

Although Ye Ziye had been in seclusion for two days and seemed extremely focused, Artoria really hadn't expected that the Children's Day gift would be so exquisite.

This is the first time someone has given her a gift on Children's Day, and it feels quite magical and warms my heart.

"Ye Zi, thank you..."

"It's okay, Happy Children's Day."

Ye Ziye waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care. He could make as many of these things as he wanted, but for a girl, this should be considered a very precious gift.

Since Artoria doesn't seem like the type to be bound by formalities, and she hasn't been home for a long time, she probably wouldn't receive many gifts.

Looking at Artoria's expression now, it was no different from the children in his previous life, so Ye Ziye couldn't help but take a few more glances, but then quickly looked away...

This is probably the reaction a pure girl should have—no exaggeration, no coyness, just the most genuine expression of emotion.

"By the way, Yezi, may I ask what this little person is doing?"

Pointing at the little figure's serious and earnest expression and its slightly forward-leaning posture, Artoria felt a little curious. She remembered making that expression often, but couldn't recall the context, which was quite strange.

"Oh, that's the expression on your face when you watch me cook."

Ye Ziye gave a casual explanation and went into the kitchen. Although Children's Day is a holiday worth celebrating, food still needs to be cooked.

As for the little man's expression, that's the one Ye Ziye sees most often, since Artoria comes to the kitchen to "help" every day.

He was initially torn between waiting for a meal and practicing his sword, but ultimately chose the latter because it seemed more approachable.

Artoria was taken aback by what she was told. She stared at the little figure for a moment and realized that she had the same expression when she was in the kitchen, with her ahoge (cowlick) drooping down in a very subtle way.

With an embarrassed chuckle, Artoria carefully put the little figure into her pocket, intending to cherish this hard-won gift.

Each of the little figures Ye Ziye made has a small hole in its foot, which can be used to tie a rope or something. Artoria plans to hang this little figure on her phone so she can see it every day.

She actually wanted to hang it on her sword, but she was afraid she would damage the little figure while practicing.

Having made her decision, Artoria nodded in satisfaction and then headed towards the kitchen.

"Ye Zi, thank you for your gift. I will repay you by teaching you swordsmanship!"

Ye Ziye, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, was stunned. Looking at Altria's serious face, she couldn't tell whether this was a way of repaying kindness or taking revenge.

Although it was done with good intentions, it is really hard to accept.

"No need, this was originally a gift, just consider it a kind gesture from me as a friend."

"Okay! Thank you, Yezi!"

Artoria nodded, then resolutely walked into the kitchen, ready to begin her daily routine of "helping out."

Chapter 143

After breakfast, Ye Ziye and Artoria went to school together.

The girl was very happy with the gift Ye Ziye gave her. In the short time after finishing her meal, she had already hung a string on the little figure and tied it to her phone.

"Ye Zi, it must have been very difficult for you to make this, right?"

Artoria asked curiously as she fiddled with the lifelike ahoge (cowlick) on the little figure's head.

As a girl, she didn't even think she had such skillful hands. She had never done needlework before, nor had she ever even observed it.

"well enough."

After parking his bicycle, Ye Ziye told the truth that although it was very tiring, it was not too difficult, and there were no marks on his fingers from being pricked by needles.

This heart-wrenching characteristic wouldn't appear on him, and he didn't want any inexplicable scars to appear on his body.

Seeing Ye Ziye's nonchalant attitude, Artoria was skeptical. In her opinion, such an exquisite handmade work must have taken a lot of time and effort.

Ye Ziye is unwilling to talk about it now, probably because she's afraid that accepting the gift might cause her some psychological issues.

"We must help Yezi exercise properly from now on!"

After imagining it all, Artoria secretly made a vow in her heart.

Ye Ziye was completely unaware of this inexplicable speculation. After saying goodbye to Altria, he headed towards the classroom, as he still had things to deliver.

Both Megumi Kato and Yui Yuigahama were in the class.

However, after seeing so many people surrounding Yui, Ye Ziye gave up the idea of ​​giving her a gift in class, as it would be a loss if it caused any unnecessary misunderstandings.

He was the one delivering the goods, so naturally he couldn't be in a hurry; it was only a morning.

"Good morning, Kato."

"Good morning."

Today, Kato Megumi wasn't reading English books or anything; instead, she was reading a novel. After the midterm exams, this girl started to let loose again.

I guess I'll have to wait until the final exams to try again.

"Ye Zi, how do you feel about your exam last week?"

The exam was on Friday, and the two of them didn't see each other on Saturday and Sunday, so asking this question on Monday wasn't too late, and many people in the class were discussing it.

"First place."

Ye Ziye stated his predicted ranking without any modesty, then reached into his bag and began rummaging around, intending to use the time to deliver something to Kato Megumi.

Kato Megumi still had a gentle smile on her face. For some reason, she believed Ye Ziye's words. She felt that first place was nothing to this boy.

"Kato, this is for you. Happy Children's Day."

After searching for a while, Ye Ziye finally found the figurine of Kato Megumi and picked it up.

The little figure he sewed was incredibly lifelike, almost indistinguishable from the real-life Kato Megumi, and even had a gentle smile on its face, with its delicate hand supporting its chin, giving it an elegant and charming appearance.

Happy Children's Day?

Kato Megumi didn't immediately take what Ye Ziye handed her; instead, she paused for a moment, as it was the first time she had ever heard such a novel term.

After all, there is no Children's Day in Japan, and even if there were, no one would wish a high school student a happy Children's Day. However, looking at Ye Ziye's expression, she knew that this was not a joke.

"Ye Zi, what's that in your hand?"

"A Children's Day gift."

As she spoke, Ye Ziye flipped the little figure in her hand over, allowing Kato Megumi to smugly see its full appearance.

Seeing her smiling self appear in Ye Ziye's hand, Kato Megumi was stunned again. She opened her mouth, but a lump remained in her throat, and she ultimately said nothing.

“In my hometown, I would make something like this for the people around me every Children’s Day, but I’m not in my hometown now, so I made this to give to you.”

Seeing Kato Megumi looking blank, Ye Ziye assumed she didn't understand why gifts were given on Children's Day, so she explained it to her.

Kato Megumi recovered from her daze, took the little figure from Ye Ziye with both hands, and still had a gentle smile on her face.

"Ye Zi, thank you. This is the first time someone has given me a gift on this day..."

"It's okay, didn't you also give me a pair of glasses? That was the first time someone had ever given me a gift."

For some reason, Ye Ziye found Kato Megumi's smile particularly captivating, and even he dared not look at it for long, quickly averting his gaze.

"It's different..."

"What did you say?"

Because Kato Megumi's murmur was so soft, even Ye Ziye couldn't hear it clearly, so he couldn't help but ask a question, and the reply he received was a gentle smile.

"It's nothing, I just think Yezi, you're really good with your hands. You can actually make something like this. There are probably a lot of girls these days who aren't as good with their hands as you."

"It's probably because I do it so often."

On this issue, Ye Ziye was unusually modest, because what he said was indeed the truth; his high level of proficiency was due to practice makes perfect.

"Anyway, thank you, Leaf. This is the best gift I've ever received, and it's my favorite gift. I'm so happy."

Kato Megumi's voice became as soft and sweet as her smile, as if it had just been soaked in honey. Her gentle gaze was fixed on the little figure in her hand, as if it were some rare treasure.

"I'm glad you like it..."

Ye Ziye also revealed a faint smile. Seeing Kato Megumi so happy, he felt unusually happy as well.

He felt that Kato Megumi's reaction was a bit excessive, because she seemed far too happy.

"I will cherish it!"

Kato Megumi put away her soft, gentle voice, returning to her usual calm tone, but with a lingering gentleness, and her voice became somewhat firm.

"Ah."

Ye Ziye responded and placed the picture of the sky gazing at the half-moon on Kato Megumi's desk. He remembered that the girl had said she wanted to see it.

The deadline was after the midterm exams, and now that the time has come, Kato Megumi still hasn't bought it. Ye Ziye felt there was nothing wrong with lending out hers.

This time, Kato Megumi didn't say thank you, but silently accepted it. This was already an unspoken understanding between the two of them, so saying thank you would seem a bit awkward.

Chapter 144

The morning passed quickly. During lunch break, Ye Ziye came out of the teachers' office with her hair all messy—a result of Hiratsuka Shizuka's actions.

"Take care, Yezi!"

Hearing the sounds coming from the office, Ye Ziye remained expressionless and silently closed the door.

For the past two days, he had been playing the villain, and naturally he also played the villain of Hiratsuka Shizuka. Although she was no longer a girl, she was still a familiar person around him.

During this wonderful lunch break, he also took the initiative to bring it over.
