Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

Sakurako Busujima chuckled and said, "Nonsense, who was looking at you? I just happened to see you while looking somewhere else."

Lu Nan rolled his eyes. Couldn't this guy even lie? He was looking elsewhere, and he'd been caught peeking more than three or four times.

Otsuya Naoki poked his head out and asked, "Lu Nan, what would you like for today's staff meal?"

Lu Nan waved his hand: "Shang Hai, feel free to do whatever you want. I'm not picky, as long as there's no cilantro."

“Okay!” Otoya Naomi’s eyes lit up: “Hey? What a beautiful ring! Did your girlfriend give it to you?”

On the other side, Sakurako Busujima, who was drinking tea, subconsciously turned her head and perked up her ears.

"Wow, you have good taste!" Lu Nan said proudly. "Yeah, my girlfriend gave it to me. What do you think? Isn't it nice?"

Otoya Naomi gave a thumbs up: "It's really good!"

"Really! By the way, Shanghai, what do you think I should do in return...?"

As Busujima Sakurako watched Lu Nan discussing things with Otoya Naoki with great interest, the expression in her eyes changed repeatedly.

Was it really a gift from his girlfriend? Was it from Senior Azusa? Or that blue-haired girl?

Or perhaps someone else?

When was it delivered? What did you do after delivering it?

Her gaze once again fell on the exquisite ring on Lu Nan's ring finger.

The ring was dazzling in her eyes, as if it had pierced her heart.

Sakurako Busujima lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously stroking the cup.

That's great, now I have a reason to put a ring on his finger.

It is certainly shameful to fall in love with someone else's husband.

But if I say that the person I love has become someone else's husband, wouldn't I seem weak and pitiful?

Sakurako Busujima chuckled. "Yes, it's normal for someone as weak and pitiful as me to receive some preferential treatment as a matter of course."

Right?

……

Sakurako Busujima handed over a glass of water with a smile and said, "Lu Nan, would you like some water?"

Lu Nan, who was focused on preparing the staff meal, was immediately delighted and thanked them: "Oh my, you've grown up! Thank you, I was just a little thirsty."

Lu Nan, who had just taken the water glass and was about to drink it, paused for a moment and slowly put the glass down.

Lu Nan took out a lighter and lit it, and the water in the cup immediately ignited as if Kohei had heard about a voice actor meet-and-greet.

"...Can you explain what's going on?" Lu Nan looked at the burning water on the table and twitched his lips.

Sakurako Busujima looked away and smiled, "Oh dear, I guess I accidentally took the wrong one? I'm so sorry, there's another one here, would you like some?"

Lu Nan rolled his eyes speechlessly: "No thanks, I don't dare to drink."

No wonder this guy suddenly became so kind; he must have had ulterior motives.

Don't think I don't know! This is a crucial time for selecting outstanding employees! This guy definitely wants me to get drunk at work and then secretly report me, so he can legitimately reduce a favorable competitor!

Damn it, how despicable of you, Sakurako Busujima! Don't think I don't know! Outstanding employees get an extra 500 yen bonus!

Luckily, I was careful enough to keep an eye on things. That's so true of me, such amazing wisdom!

Lu Nan quickly ate the rest of his staff meal in two bites, then picked up his coat and stood up: "I'm going to work now, bye-bye."

Now is the perfect time to show your skills!

While the mere islander is still eating, Brother Lu has already finished showing off his meal and gone straight to work. Who else but me is the best employee?

Watching Lu Nan Dudao Yingzi close the door and leave, she silently stood up and poured the two glasses of drugged mixed alcohol into the sink.

"It's a real pity, we were a bit too hasty... I should have talked about your family of origin first."

……

"Welcome! May I ask how many people are here... Fujiwara-senpai!" Lu Nan looked at Fujiwara Chika in surprise: "What a coincidence!"

Fujiwara Chika also looked pleasantly surprised: "Lu Nan? So you work here~ What a coincidence!"

Seeing familiar faces made Lu Nan happy. After leading Fujiwara Chika to a seat, Lu Nan handed the menu to Fujiwara Chika: "Senior, take a look, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Fujiwara Chika looked at the menu and seemed to be having some trouble choosing: "I'm having trouble choosing, they all look so appealing... Why don't you help me pick one out, Lu Nan? You work here, you must know what's good."

Lu Nan perked up immediately and patted his chest, "Then leave it to me! I'll make sure you're well-fed!"

"Then it's up to you."

Fujiwara Chika rested her chin on her hand, watching Lu Nan excitedly run off to submit his order.

It wasn't a coincidence; it was a premeditated reunion.

Kaguya always says that you shouldn't be too proactive and that you should wait for the other person to make the first move.

Originally, Fujiwara Chika was able to hold back, but ever since Lu Nan sent her a message last time, she found herself losing her composure. Whenever she was quiet, she would think of Lu Nan.

I'm reminded of the girl Lu Nan mentioned... What's their relationship?

The thought of this made her quite eager to check it out, so she couldn't resist and simply asked someone to find out where Lu Nan worked and rushed over to see what was going on.

In fact, if she wanted, she could know everything that had happened to Lu Nan from childhood to adulthood within three days, but that would also plant a huge time bomb for herself. When that time bomb explodes, it will be the time when Lu Nan completely disappears from her world.

Fujiwara Chika is not stupid.

Respect is mutual, especially in romantic relationships.

But I'm really curious, what's been going on in his life lately? Is that girl he mentioned before his new girlfriend?

Fujiwara Chika couldn't wait any longer, so she came.

"Hi, hi, hi~ Fujiwara-senpai! Your food is here." Lu Nan walked over quickly with a tray in her hand: "It's super cost-effective and delicious too."

Lu Nan blinked: "And I told the receptionist that I'll give you the employee price when we settle the bill."

Fujiwara Chika was amused. She had a lot of money, which was just a number to her and her family, but Lu Nan's unique care made her especially happy.

Thank you.

Chapter 312 Who is this pink-haired fox spirit?

"Hey, don't thank me, we're like family." Lu Nan waved his hand.

Fujiwara Chika's gaze was drawn to a silvery-white object, her eyes fixed on Lu Nan's right hand.

The exquisite ring on Lu Nan's right hand made Fujiwara Chika's pupils tremble suddenly, and her mind went blank as if she had been kicked hard by a rabbit.

She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but it felt difficult; her throat felt like it was stuck shut.

Finally, she stammered, "Lu Nan, what's that ring on your hand? Are you married?"

So fast!? That can't be right, it can't be. Why didn't I receive any message at all?

Although it didn't actually affect her much, there was something just felt off about it, you know?

The boy I like has become a married man... which seems strangely appealing.

Lu Nan paused for a moment upon hearing this, glanced at the ring on his hand, and smiled: "Oh, you mean this? This is a gift from my girlfriend. As for marriage... it's not that soon."

So she's your girlfriend...

Fujiwara Chika didn't know why she felt relieved, and a cheerful smile returned to her face: "Really? It looks great, quite exquisite."

Lu Nan proudly raised his head: "Right? I think so too."

"Lu Nan, over there..."

Sakurako Busujima's voice caught in her throat. She looked at Lu Nan, then at Chika Fujiwara sitting in her seat.

The two pink-haired girls stared at each other, and the first thing that popped into their minds was surprisingly similar.

Who is this pink-haired fox spirit?

"What's wrong? Why are you standing there like that?" Lu Nan reached out and waved his hand at Sakura Tokushima.

Sakurako Busujima then came to her senses: "Ah, the manager called you. It's probably about something."

“Okay.” Lu Nan nodded, turned around and said, “Then you can eat first, Fujiwara-senpai. The manager needs me, so I’ll go over there first.”

Fujiwara Chika nodded: "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."

Sakurako Busujima followed Lu Nan, and asked in a low voice with some curiosity, "Who is that? Another girlfriend of yours?"

Lu Nan rolled his eyes: "What are you talking about? That's my senior, a really nice person. Don't just say things like that."

"Let me know~"

Fujiwara Chika pursed her lips, her chopsticks unconsciously stirring the rice grains; she had lost her appetite.

And who is that? How come there's another pink-haired guy? And they seem to have a pretty good relationship.

Fujiwara Chika fiddled with her pink hair and fell silent.

……

"Miss, miss, your phone."

"Hmm? Hmm... Didn't we say not to answer the phone during rest time?" Kaguya Shinomiya sighed helplessly, even though she had only just fallen asleep.

The maid by the bed paused for a moment, then said, "It was Miss Fujiwara who called. You said that you should bring the phone to you whenever she calls lately."

Kaguya Shinomiya then perked up, sat up, and answered the phone: "Hello? What's up?"

"You went to see him today? But didn't I teach you... what does it mean when he has another pink-haired guy by his side?"

"No, what ecological niche...aren't you overthinking it?"

"District? What do you mean..."

"Listen to me, this is actually a good thing. It's better to have a comparison... Why are you apologizing to me?"

"Hey? Why aren't you saying anything? Hey? You're not planning to make the first move, are you? You're kidding me, right?"

"Say something! Tell me you're joking, right? Continuing like this will only make you a loser... What do you mean I should grow up too??"

Kaguya Shinomiya stared blankly at the phone that had just been hung up. Had Fujiwara become possessed? She couldn't understand a word he was saying.
