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

"Is it for... Kazusa?" Miyoko knew that Kazusa would be performing on the Tanabata Festival stage here on Sunday.

Therefore, it is easy to make connections based on this.

A boy who has feelings for a girl might prepare a romantic fireworks display to surprise and delight her... and so on.

Yuan Qianye smiled but did not give an answer.

Miyoko, seeing his smile, took it as a tacit agreement.

"But boss, I understand how you feel, but could the number of fireworks be reduced a little? More than two thousand is just too much."

Miyoko tried to persuade her earnestly. She wasn't trying to make her job easier. Despite how difficult it seemed, she said that in today's society, most things can be solved quickly and easily with money.

The same applies to fireworks. Once the money is in place, major fireworks factories will have their workers work overtime, 24 hours a day, and they can produce as many fireworks as you want.

She was simply considering things from Yuan Qianye's perspective, wanting to save her boss some money.

In her opinion, it's not wrong for the boss to want to be romantic, but a few hundred fireworks would be enough to express his feelings; the quantity is secondary.

Anyway, given Kazusa's personality, once she finds out that Chiya prepared this fireworks display for her, she'll definitely be moved to tears.

Just as Miyoko was about to express her thoughts, Gen Chiya shook his head, contrary to his usual behavior: "No, we'll stick to the numbers I told you before, not a single one less."

He was very firm in his stance and emphasized again, "This is very important to me, you must take it seriously."

"Uh, okay." Since the boss had already said that, Miyoko naturally had no reason to continue trying to persuade him: "Then what about the budget for the subsequent purchase of fireworks..."

"Just do what you think is best. Don't worry about saving money for me. If you're going to do it this time, do it absolutely perfectly."

Chiya Minamoto said this to Miyoko, but at the same time he was also saying it to himself.

The three figures that flashed through his mind at the same time made him clench his fists secretly.

"Yes, I will keep you informed as soon as there is progress. Besides purchasing fireworks, is there anything else I need to do?"

"Yes, I'm afraid I'll need your help again this Sunday."

"I understand, I will make time for that day."

"Also, remember to keep this a secret from Kazusa and, best of all, from Aunt Yoko as well."

"Yes."

"Okay, that's all for today. Let's drive to the massage parlor now."

"Boss, you want to relieve physical fatigue? I know a traditional massage shop with excellent techniques. I recommend you try it. The techniques are quite good."

Miyoko bent down and took off her high heels, then took out her driving flats from under the seat and put them on.

She didn't get a reply from her boss, so she looked up in confusion and found that her boss was staring at her feet without moving.

Her face turned bright red instantly.

"Um...!" she stammered, "I'm so sorry, boss, there might be a slight smell. I'll be more careful next time!"

She subconsciously interpreted Yuan Qianye's fixed gaze as a reproachful look, and immediately expressed her attitude and made a promise. At the same time, she secretly blamed herself for her carelessness.

Yes, when the weather was cooler before, doing this wouldn't have caused too much of a problem.

But now that it's summer and the weather is hot, shoes and stockings will inevitably smell a bit after walking around outside because of sweaty feet. I know my boss is a clean freak and can't stand unhygienic environments and behaviors. Changing my shoes in front of him in a stuffy car is definitely going to be an eyesore for him!

That's absolutely embarrassing!

From now on, I'll just put a shoe box in the trunk of the car and put it in after I change my shoes. It's a bit of a hassle, but at least it will keep the smell out and make the boss more comfortable.

"Oh no, it's nothing, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just thought that, Miyoko-nee, your feet are quite beautiful."

When Yuan Qianye said this, he didn't have the slightest lewd or dissolute demeanor. He maintained a calm and composed smile, and his tone was so serious that it seemed as if he was just praising her usual work attitude.

boom!

Something seemed to explode inside Miyoko's head.

Her face grew increasingly rosy, like blood.

"Stop, stop joking like that! Teasing adults is no fun!"

"It's the truth, Miyoko-nee, you should be more confident in yourself. Actually, I'm also very curious. How come someone as outstanding and capable as Miyoko-nee can't find a boyfriend? Surely the men around you aren't blind. Is it because you were too busy with work when you were with Aunt Yoko and didn't have any personal time?"

"Okay, boss, stop talking!"

Miyoko shielded her face with both hands, and this time her response even carried the tone of her hometown dialect.

It seems that it's not just because she's busy with work; her current shyness when complimented by men is also a significant reason.

Yuan Qianye sighed silently.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Anyway, calm down first, and let's drive off."

"Um……"

Shortly after the vehicle started driving, Yuan Qianye received a reply from the maid.

[Hayasaka Ai: Okay, I'm looking forward to it.]

A simple and clear reply.

If it weren't for the existence of God's Eye, judging solely from her online messages, it would be truly hard for Yuan Qianye to imagine that she harbored such intense feelings for him in private, and that she would display such an explosively erotic demeanor.

[Chiya Minamoto: I'm also really looking forward to meeting my lovely friend Ai on Sunday.]

[Hayasaka Ai: Although Chiya-san can't see this right now, I can tell you that my face is as red as the sunset glow.]

[Yuan Qianye: Is that so? I want to see.]

[Hayasaka Ai: Image.jpg]

After the image finished loading, what Yuan Qianye saw was the sunset in the sky.

Dressed in a servant's uniform, Hayasaka Ai secretly hid in a corner of the garden, slacking off, imagining the expression on Chiya's face on the other side, and feeling quite happy to be mischievous.

[Hayasaka Ai: I have to work now, I have to talk to you later.]

[Yuan Qianye: Hmm.]

Around 6 p.m., Miyoko brought Chiya Minamoto to the massage parlor she had recommended.

It wasn't until she arrived at the massage parlor that she learned that Yuan Qianye's discomfort wasn't due to her own physical ailment, but rather because he had noticed her stiff shoulders when he jokingly touched her in the car, and that's why he brought it up specifically to help her relax.

This kind of boss...

What a boss!

At that moment, Miyoko truly had the idea of ​​working under him for the rest of her life.

After the massage, Yuan Qianye took her to the restaurant run by Shihua for dinner.

Because they were family, the quality of the food and ingredients served was upgraded.

Whether it's the chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) with salmon roe and sea urchin, or the Wagyu beef fillet with red wine sauce, they were so delicious that Miyoko almost swallowed her tongue!

Although it was unfair to the former president, Touma, she genuinely felt that it was a wonderful thing that she had chosen to work under Chiya Minamoto!

After finishing her meal, Miyoko left first, following instructions from Chiyo.

Feeling the care from her boss, she became even more motivated. She planned to go back, take a shower, and go straight to sleep. In short, she would go out early the next morning to visit several fireworks factories to compare prices, trying to save her boss as much money as possible while also getting the fireworks festival that her boss cared about very much sorted out!

Around 10 p.m., because Chiya was still waiting for her, Toka checked the refrigerator, handed over the list of missing ingredients to the kitchen helper, and then went home with him a little earlier than usual.

The two arrived home around 11 p.m. The living room light was still on, and Rikka was practicing yoga following a tutorial on TV.

Since the three of them moved out and stopped living with their parents, their bedtime has gradually started to be later.

"Sister, Qianye, you're back! I'm done too. Sister, let's take a shower together, and you can also help me scrub my back."

"I don't have the energy for that. Just take a towel and rub it back and forth behind my back."

Shihua ignored her and went straight back to her room.

"Tch~ If Chiya weren't a boy, I wouldn't want your help." Rikka pouted, dissatisfied.

After putting away her yoga mat, she planned to go back to her room to get her clothes, but Yuan Qianye called her back with a smile.

Sitting on the sofa, he patted the spot next to him, gesturing for her to come over and chat.

Rikka slowly leaned closer, but didn't sit down: "Chiya, your smile is giving me the creeps. What are you trying to do?"

"Don't be nervous, I just feel that my Rikka has been very well-behaved lately, so I should give her some rewards from time to time."

"Really?" Rikka was excited at first, but quickly realized something was wrong and realized, "Are you trying to bribe me to do something for you?"

"What do you mean by 'bribing someone to help'? You're being so formal." Yuan Qianye said with a serious face, "Aren't we family? Rikka's wish is my wish, Rikka's difficulties are my difficulties, and vice versa."

"That's the logic..."

"I knew I hadn't spoiled you for nothing. You're trustworthy. You wanted to buy a tablet, so I bought you the best one on the market!"

"Mmm..." Having finally escaped her adoptive brother's head pat, Rikka's face was flushed, and her eyes lit up when she heard his promise: "I don't care about the reward, I just want to help Onii-chan, so what is it?"

Yuan Qianye's tone softened, and his expression became serious: "This Sunday, aren't we going to cheer on Kazusa's performance together? I hope you can do me a small favor then..."

Chapter 078: Openly Repairing the Plank Road While Secretly Crossing the Chencang Pass (7k)

July 7th, Sunday.

The day has finally come.

Yuan Qianye had an unusually good night's sleep last night, tossing and turning in bed thinking about tomorrow's specific plans, considering whether there would be any flaws in the various links, and thinking about the details and timing of the parties involved. He was worried that a single mistake would cause the whole thing to collapse like dominoes, and that one wrong step would lead to eternal regret.

It's no wonder he was so nervous. After all, based on his two days of racking his brains without finding a good solution, this was indeed the boldest attempt he had ever made in his life so far, without exception.

If he fails and is exposed, he will definitely be looked at with contempt and disgust by Haruno and Kazusa, and he will be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life.

However, no matter how worried we are, everything is now ready, and we are just one step away from putting it into practice. There is really nothing to worry about.

Looking back and forth is not in Yuan Qianye's style. His life motto is to do what you say and do it. Once he has decided on a path, he will go all the way to the end, no matter what difficulties he may encounter. If he can't do it once, he will try ten or a hundred times. He will accumulate the number of times to achieve a qualitative change and he will eventually get what he wants!

At six o'clock, Yuan Qianye went downstairs for a morning run, and took the opportunity to go over the development she had thought about countless times over the past two days in her mind, striving to ensure that everything went perfectly.

At seven o'clock, he returned home, and the house was as quiet as it had been an hour before he left.

Normally, Shihua gets up to make breakfast most of the time, but yesterday, Saturday, the shop was particularly busy and she didn't get back until very late. Today, Sunday, she doesn't have to go to school, so she can finally catch up on some sleep.

Yuan Qianye didn't call her. After washing up, she went into the kitchen on her own to prepare breakfast.

Otherwise, how could Shihua have been so easily won over by him over time? His thoughtfulness and gentleness undoubtedly played a major role in that.
