In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

She thought for a moment and took a leather jacket out of the closet.

Use a mirror to measure yourself, change your position, move left and right, and consider the situation.

While leather jackets are waterproof and suitable for wearing in this kind of weather, they always seem to lack that elegant and gentle beauty, but their cool factor is actually enhanced by it.

But does Qianye like this cool feeling?

Toka couldn't help but think of Saeko and Utaha's everyday outfits and made comparisons with them.

The former likes to wear dresses, and her most iconic dressing habit is wearing black stockings that cover her legs. The thin clothing that fits the shape of her legs is delicate and shiny, which significantly modifies the shape of her legs, making them look longer and more graceful, showing her charm and sexiness.

Saeko typically wears a shirt and a skirt, while in more private settings she appears in an elegant kimono with small patterns, making her look both refined and sophisticated. This dressing style, combined with her considerate and thoughtful manner, exudes the pure and typical feminine beauty that Japan has always admired.

And to truly outshine them and leave a lasting impression on Qianye, what I need to do is naturally...

No, no, what am I thinking? Why did I suddenly decide to compete with Saeko and Utaha?

Shihua shook her head and quickly put the leather jacket back in the closet.

However, although such a thought flashed through my mind.

But the girl's love of beauty still prevailed.

Furthermore, due to a woman's irrational sixth sense, Shihua's left eyelid has been twitching every now and then since this morning.

It was as if it were a premonition that today's date would be the day of something significant that she would remember for the rest of her life.

If we don't take this seriously, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives.

This inexplicable feeling came without any basis, but it was indeed captured by Toka.

Afterwards, Shihua took out trench coats, suit jackets, and cardigans one after another... She shook her head in dissatisfaction for different reasons and put them back in their original places with great hesitation.

If it weren't for the message notification sound on her phone, Yang Nai would have sent a voice message saying she was on her way and would arrive at the apartment building in ten minutes.

So she'll probably continue to struggle with this decision.

Shihua finally settled on a sweater and skinny jeans, her usual outfit.

I vividly remember one time when Qianye came home, he hugged me right away and said he loved how I looked in my sweater, how soft and warm I felt, how comfortable it was to hug me, and that he wanted to never let go of me.

So, this should be considered a good decision, right?

Before leaving the room, Shihua blushed and stuffed her freshly changed white underwear into the closet.

That's right, she also changed into a set of sexy lingerie that she had bought privately but had never actually worn before.

Although she wasn't really looking forward to anything, it's always good to be prepared.

This can also be seen as respecting one's sixth sense, which allows them to perceive what is about to happen.

Seeing that it was almost time, Shihua hurriedly went to her sister's room.

"Rikka, it's about time you got up and ate."

"Well……"

"I've also prepared dinner. Qianye and I will both be back late today because we have our own things to do. You can cook some rice and then put the vegetables in the microwave to heat up. Remember to wash the dishes after dinner, don't just leave them piled up, understand?"

"Okay... I know, sister, you should go now..."

On the bed, Rikka, annoyed by the disturbance, turned over in frustration.

Her pajamas were pulled up, revealing the soft flesh of her waist and chest.

Generally speaking, girls don't wear bras to bed because it's uncomfortable to sleep in them.

However, this guy's sleeping posture is still as bad as ever, exactly the same as when he was a child.

Shihua couldn't stand it, so she helped her pull down her pajamas and then went straight out.

After waiting for only two minutes downstairs at the apartment building, a brand-new car pulled up on the side of the road, honked its horn, and Yukinoshita Haruno arrived right on time.

Shihua opened her umbrella and walked quickly over; the passenger door was pushed open from the inside.

There was no one else in the car; Yang was driving himself today.

Shihua closed her umbrella, shook off the rain, and stepped into the car: "When did you get your driver's license?"

“I took the test a long time ago, but I just haven’t driven myself yet. My mom said that since we have a driver at home, it’s not necessary, but now that I’m practically a college student, there’s no such restriction.”

"Congratulations!"

"There's nothing to celebrate about that. What truly makes me happy is something else."

Have you found your soulmate?

"I wish that were true. You know my standards for choosing a partner are ridiculously high."

Yang took the tissue and handed it to Toka, her smile as bright and sunny as her name suggested.

"But I am truly honored. I did not expect that Shika would prepare so elaborately for me today. Her hair is braided so beautifully, and her eyebrows have been groomed. Her lips also have traces of lip gloss, sparkling and looking like a peach, quite delicious and juicy."

"Don't say such suspicious things in that perverted tone. I've always been like this."

Shihua appeared nonchalant as she wiped the raindrops that had fallen on her shoulder and cheek with a tissue.

"You said you had something important to share with me, that's why you asked me out. What is it?"

"No rush, you'll find out soon enough."

After wiping away the raindrops and fastening her seatbelt, Yang Naijian slowly pressed the accelerator.

"By the way, what has Qianye been busy with these past few days?"

"He hasn't been working much these past few days, so he's been staying home reading and occasionally going out to visit friends."

Yang pressed further, "Which friend?"

Shihua replied helplessly, "I'm his older sister, not his mother."

The implication is that I'm not so much like a mother hen, following him around and caring for him so meticulously, knowing his every move outside.

Although the reality was quite different from what she portrayed.

"I see..." Yang Nai smiled as she took control of the steering wheel.

She had impulsively gone to the graduation ceremony of Kawalan Middle School alone without telling anyone. When she was about to leave, she saw Gen Chiya hand Toka a button from his uniform.

This matter had been on her mind for a while, and today she had planned to test the waters with Shihua to see what was really going on.

But Shihua has always performed flawlessly, so it seems she can only look for another opportunity.

No rush, there's plenty of time later.

"Come in, please. This is the first guest I've been welcoming to my long-awaited little home. Please come in and make your own way around."

Just as Yang Nai said, Toka found out what the important thing she was talking about was exactly what she was referring to half an hour later.

At Haruno's invitation, Toka entered an apartment.

The apartment wasn't as big as her current place, but it still felt quite spacious.

The interior features white floor tiles, complemented by green ivy plants hanging on the walls and ceiling, creating a warm and inviting forest-themed style.

Being there gives you a sense of ease and comfort, as if you can embrace nature without leaving your home.

Toka followed behind Haruno, looking around curiously, and entered the living room.

There wasn't a sofa like in a typical home; instead, there were just a few square cushions laid out.

There is also a hanging rocking chair, lined with pink velvet, whose orientation can be adjusted at will, either facing the projector or smoothly turning towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

The living room has no cluttered or unnecessary design elements, and it looks very unified, appearing minimalist yet sophisticated.

"You'll be living here from now on?"

"Well, after all, my mom promised me a long time ago that she would allow me to move out of my parents' house once I went to university. I personally designed all of these interior designs. What do you think?"

After a moment's hesitation, Shika answered truthfully, "It reminds me a lot of you, Yangnai."

"My feelings? What kind of ambiguous answer is that? I'm a little unsure of myself. This should be considered a compliment."

"Of course, it's really beautiful, even a bit dreamy. If I could, I would love to live in a house like that."

What Toka said was not a compliment, but her true feelings.

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm very happy. Also, do you think I brought Toka here specifically?"

"Isn't it because you're finally free from home and feel incredibly happy that you want to share and show off to someone?"

"While that's certainly part of my thinking, the most important thing is definitely to show you the way. You can come anytime you want, since even though we didn't go to the same university, our schools are both very close to this apartment."

Also, don't worry about food and lodging. I've specially designed the kitchen, and it's fully equipped with all kinds of cooking utensils. There are also two rooms, so if you get tired from playing, we can just cook for ourselves. If it gets too late, you can just sleep here with me, it's no problem..."

As Yang said this, he led Toka on a tour of the kitchen and the two rooms.

Toka listened to Yang Nai's other words with a calm smile, but when they came to the kitchen, she observed them carefully.

The range hood, gas stove, and oven are Gaggenau; the refrigerator and dishwasher are Miele; and the kitchen cabinets and cupboards are Podenberg...

These are brands that most people rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with, so they naturally cannot know their specific value.

However, Toka, who no longer persisted in rhythmic gymnastics and instead made cooking her ideal for the rest of her life and worked hard for it, recognized the value of these utensils and appliances at a glance because she had come across her professional field.

These brands are all top-tier in their respective fields, standing out from the crowd.

They are undoubtedly the Mercedes of the kitchen and the Rolls-Royce of the appliance world. Many Michelin-starred kitchens use products from these brands as standard equipment.

"Only at times like this do I realize that the Haruno I know is truly a young lady from a wealthy family."

Shihua smiled, shrugged, and said those words.

Yang Nai casually waved his hand.

"Here we go again. What do you mean by 'Miss'? That kind of address isn't a compliment to me, it's a burden, as you know. Besides, your little Qianye is on a meteoric rise right now. Her net worth, if not a lot, is definitely over a hundred million."

She walked to the kitchen stove, touched the logo of the luxury brand, and continued speaking.

"He cares so much about and likes you as his older sister. Everything I'm showing you now, from the apartment to the kitchen equipment, would be readily and even eagerly offered to you if you wanted it."

"Don't portray me as some kind of wicked older sister who greedily sucks the blood off her younger brother."

"As long as it's you, Toka, no matter how bad you are, Chiyo will still be devoted to you wholeheartedly, without any regrets, and will be happy to accept it."

Faced with Haruno's sudden, meaningful approach, Tohka reached out and poked her cheek, saying in a half-threatening, half-joking tone,
