"Good morning!" She waved.

"Good morning, Yuzu-chan!" Junya Mogami waved his hand vigorously.

The surprise really started in the morning...

"Thank you for your hard work." He added.

Of course he knew that Zhenyou lived much farther away than he did, so in order to catch up with him on the way to school, Zhenyou must have gotten up much earlier than him.

"It's nothing. Yuzu-chan has the habit of getting up early. After all, she needs to practice her voice." Zhenyu replied nonchalantly, "I just rushed here today."

"Even so, it's still an honor." Mogami Jun bowed slightly, then turned back to the province and walked forward. "I think Ms. Takeuchi is satisfied?"

"Very satisfied~" Mayu said as she walked to the side of Jun Mogami. "Takeuchi said that since your mother is so helpful, things will go much more smoothly and Yuzu-chan's reward will be a sure thing... So, Jun-chan, thank you! You helped me a lot again!"

"It's nothing, just a small favor." Mogami Jun nodded calmly.

"Well... is Jun-chan looking forward to Yu-chan's thank-you gift?" Zhen Yu blinked her right eye.

This look almost made Mogami Jun unable to hold back his expression.

"...A little bit...?" He finally answered reluctantly.

"Just a little bit?" Zhenyou seemed a little disappointed.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it!" Mogami Jun sighed, "So can you tell me now?"

"If I tell you now, there won't be any surprises..." Mayu laughed again, then shook her head, "Chun-chan, are you free tonight?"

"Yes, there is." Jun Mogami nodded.

"Then let's go with Yuzu today. Yuzu will take you to a fun place—" Zhen Yu blinked again. "Is that okay?"

Of course! Mogami Jun answered in his mind.

But he just nodded slightly. "Okay."

"Jun-chan..." Mayu suddenly called out again in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" asked Jun Mogami.

"Did your mother say anything to me after she went back home last night?" Zhenyou asked in a low voice.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was clearly nervous.

In order to prevent her from worrying too much, Mogami Jun certainly couldn't keep it a secret this time.

"Ah, she did, and she had a very good impression of you, saying that I was lucky to have a friend like you..."

"Oh, that's great!" Zhenyu cheered a little, as if she had let go of a huge rock in her heart. "Jun-chan, I also think Aunt Sayuki is beautiful and generous, and she is exactly the kind of person Yu-chan wants to be the most!"

"You'd better not imitate her too much..." But Jun Mogami was not happy.

He recalled the various scenes of his mother, grandfather and father interacting with each other on a daily basis. Those were indeed not pleasant memories. If Zhenyou was like that... it would be a disaster.

"What's wrong? Jun-chan?" Mayu was slightly surprised to see Jun Mogami's reaction.

But soon, she seemed to understand something, "Is it... Is it that your parents don't get along well with each other on a daily basis? I think I heard her mention it last night..."

"There's no need for me to say much about adults' affairs. They just need to be responsible for their own lives." Mogami Jun avoided the question.

"Jun-chan..." Zhenyou sighed and stopped asking. "It seems that no one in the world can live a truly carefree life... If it were Yu-chan, she would never have fallen out with her family to such an extent. No matter how eccentric a person is, family and home are still the most important... And even if there are any rifts between family members, as long as everyone works together, they can definitely be easily bridged. Yu-chan thinks that if family members are like strangers, no matter how much they have achieved, what is the point?"

Mayu's words seemed to contain some hints, but Mogami Jun believed what she said.

The death of my uncle

After all, he had been to Zhenyou's home. Zhenyou got along very well with her mother and sister, and the family bond was very strong, which showed that she really thought so.

"So I envy you for this." He answered truthfully.

"If you are envious, Chun-chan can also find a way to fit in... After all, mom likes you too," Zhenyou answered casually.

After a moment, she suddenly realized that what she said was wrong, so her face immediately turned red and she turned her head away in embarrassment.

Jun Mogami was so embarrassed that he was speechless.

The two of them didn't say anything along the way and just arrived at the school.

However, although he was repeating his usual routine, Mogami Jun was not as calm as usual. Apart from his studies, he couldn't help but think about what Mayu said in the morning.

Time passed in the torment of anticipation, and finally it was time to go home from school.

Jun Mogami mixed in with the students who were filing out of the school.

But this time he did not go home, but walked towards the station not far away.

This road is also the way Zhenyou usually takes to go home.

"Jun-chan!" At the entrance of the station, Zhenyou was indeed waiting there.

She waved, and then the two of them entered the station together, got on the train, and followed the tram through the city.

The two chatted in low voices along the way, but Mayu never mentioned what she was going to do next, and Mogami Jun didn't ask either.

After a long while, the train stopped at the station near Mayu's house, and the two walked out together.

"Are you going to take me to your house again?" asked Jun Mogami with some confusion.

"That's not the case today...but if Jun-chan wants to go later, Yu-chan can take you there!" Zhenyu replied with a smile.

"...Then forget it..." Mogami Jun laughed awkwardly, "It's too embarrassing to visit your house all the time."

As he answered, he became more and more confused about what Zhenyou was planning.

He soon encountered an accident - when they reached a street corner, a man came towards them.

She was wearing a school uniform from another school, she was tall, and her face was surprisingly similar to Zhenyou's.

But her expression was completely different—she was staring at him with wide eyes.

Her eyes were so full of contempt and hostility that Jun Mogami recognized her at the first sight.

"Matou?" he called out, then looked at Matou in confusion. "What's going on?"

"Then she took us there~" Zhenyou replied with a smile.

"Come with me." Zhentong rolled his eyes at the boy, then turned around and led the way in a bad mood.

Mogami Jun could only shrug and followed Mayu with Mayu.

After walking a short distance, Zhentong brought them to a coffee shop.

There seems to be not many people in the coffee shop now, it is quite empty.

"Jun-chan, I'm going to the bathroom first. Please wait for me for a moment..." As soon as she walked in, Mayu smiled apologetically at Jun Mogami and walked towards the bathroom.

Mogami Jun, who was left behind, didn't know what to say for a moment.

It seemed that Takasaki Makiru next to him had no intention of talking to him, and he didn't want to take the initiative to please her, so he simply chose to remain silent.

But despite his silence, he still wanted to figure out what Zhenyou was trying to do.

With all this going on, it can't be that they're just inviting me here to eat some pastries...

"Hey..." At this moment, Zhentong next to him suddenly spoke.

"If you're calling me, you could use a more polite way." Mogami Jun replied.

Takasaki Mayuri was choked by him and was obviously a little angry, but she bit her lip and finally did not get angry.

"Although I don't know what's good about a conceited person like you, and although my sister herself is not a great and perfect match, but...but, since it has come to this, I hope...no, I beg you to be nicer to her, okay? My sister has never tried to please someone so much, she really thinks highly of you."

Mogami Jun looked at the other person in surprise.

"I will." After a moment, he nodded heavily.

"So what are your plans for the future?" Takasaki Mayugi suddenly asked again. "Are you planning when to get married?"

"...I haven't thought about these yet." Mogami Jun quickly shook his head.

Takasaki Makiru curled her lips and smiled, as if she was mocking him. "If you dare to do anything to let your sister down, I will..."

"Matong! Stop talking nonsense!" A scolding voice coming from a distance interrupted the conversation between the two people.

Jun Mogami turned his head and saw that Mayu was walking towards him.

However, she was no longer wearing the school uniform she had just worn, but a beautifully decorated skirt.

The hem of the skirt is decorated with lace and there are star-like decorations shining on it.

"Jun-chan~" Mayu greeted with a smile, lifted her skirt and bowed. "Good evening~"

As a half ACG fan, Jun Mogami could of course see that what Mayu was wearing was a Gothic Lolita outfit.

Although I don’t know which category this outfit belongs to, but anyway... it looks very good.

Even Mogami Jun was a little stunned for a moment.

"Jun-chan~" Mayu let down her skirt and walked towards her in small steps. Then when she was a few steps away from Jun Mogami, she stopped, spread out her delicate arms, and turned around on the spot. The hem of her skirt floated up gently as she swayed, revealing the white stockings on her legs.

"Yuzu-chan, does it look good?!"

"It looks great!" Mogami Jun could only tell the truth.

"You... why are you dressed like this...?" he asked after a moment.

It's not that he was making a fuss. During their previous interactions, he could see that Zhenyou really disdained these otaku things, and it didn't seem like an act.

But today, she dressed like this, and the whole outfit looked natural, definitely not like she was inexperienced.

Jun Mogami seemed to have thought of something and looked at Makiru, but Makiru pretended not to see it and turned his eyes away.

"Yes, it was Shinki who helped her~" Shinyu answered with a smile, "She is very interested in ACG, so she knows a lot of similar friends. She also helped Yuzu-chan dress like this... Are you surprised?"

"Very surprised!" Mogami Jun nodded repeatedly.

He felt that even just seeing this was worth the price of admission.

"Then... Chun-chan, you should go change too~" Zhenyou smiled even more happily.

"Hmm?" Mogami Jun didn't understand. "I... want it too...?"

"Yes, today is a tea party for all these fans, and everyone has to dress up~" Zhenyou nodded, "Jun-chan is Yu-chan's butler..."

336, a different surprise

"Jun-chan is Yuzu-chan's butler..."

Mayu said with a smug and satisfied tone.

"Butler..." Jun Mogami paused for a moment.

The classic images from comics and animations immediately emerged in his mind.

Should I dress like this and attend this weird party with Zhenyou?

His heart suddenly began to beat fast.

Zhenyou’s arrangement this time really gave him enough of a “surprise”.

But he was not angry.

To be honest, who could be angry when seeing Zhenyou dressed up so beautifully and running in front of you and turning around?

"Chun-chan, stop dawdling, the time is almost up! Come on~" Zhenyou continued to urge.

Mayu's voice was so soft that Jun Mogami felt his heartbeat speed up a little bit.

Well, as you wish.

He made his decision immediately and nodded.

"Let's go!" Takasaki Shinki next to him shouted unhappily, then took the lead and walked towards the locker room with Mogami Jun.

After entering the room, she picked up a bag that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Mogami Jun.

"These are the clothes you need to change into. Please change them yourself."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Jun Mogami didn't have time to care about her attitude and took out clothes from the bag himself.

As he expected, the bag contained the black tuxedo suit from the animation. It looked to be of good quality. Zhenyou must have spent a lot of money on it.

He picked up the clothes and put them on slowly.
