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

Lu Nan hesitated for a moment and said, "Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate...?"

However, as soon as Fujiwara Chika saw Lu Nan open his mouth, she quickly pointed the straw at him and handed it to him, placing it right between his lips.

It would be impolite not to drink it since it was already being put in his mouth, so Lu Nan had no choice but to take two sips and nod: "It really is quite delicious."

Fujiwara Chika chuckled and took two more sips: "Right~"

Daimiao quietly tugged at Lu Nan's sleeve: "Boss, if we don't go eat soon, I'll be full, meow."

Lu Nan didn't quite understand what Dai Miao was saying, and just assumed that the little guy was really hungry and was talking nonsense.

"Fujiwara-senpai, shall we go eat first?" Lu Nan suggested.

"It's about time, shall we go? Have you decided on a destination?" Fujiwara Chika asked. "If not, I have a nice place here, would you like to try it out?"

……

"I never expected it to be a ramen shop," Lu Nan remarked with some emotion.

Although it wasn't the same ramen shop as before, I still felt a strong sense of déjà vu when I came back to the ramen shop.

After all, strictly speaking, their first meeting was in a ramen shop.

"Yes, it's been a while since I last ate ramen, and the ramen button has been triggered again," Fujiwara Chika said excitedly.

Lu Nan almost burst out laughing. Isn't the "ramen button" analogy a bit too childish?

Fujiwara Chika seemed to be here before, appearing very familiar with the place.

"Boss, three family photos, please!"

After saying that, she pulled Lu Nan to sit down in a seat and whispered, "The best thing in this restaurant is the Family Reunion Ramen. You have to try it!"

Lu Nan said with a bit of a laugh, "Didn't we agree that I would treat you to dinner? Why does it look like you're the one treating me now?"

"Oh, it's all the same." Fujiwara Chika chuckled, as if she hadn't thought about it that much at all, and instead muttered to Lu Nan about the strange requests and demands the student council had received.

The ramen was served shortly afterward.

Chika Fujiwara is right; this family-style ramen looks so happy.

A huge pile of ingredients makes it very appetizing, and the fried egg on top is the perfect finishing touch.

Fujiwara Chika nudged the dork and handed it two cloves of peeled garlic.

Lu Nan was still looking forward to his two halves when he saw Fujiwara Chika reach out with her chopsticks and put the fried egg from his bowl into her own.

"?"

Lu Nan was a little confused. What was going on now?

Seeing Lu Nan's gaze, Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but turn her head and chuckle a few times. Then, she stuck out her tongue and put the piece of fried egg that belonged to her into Lu Nan's bowl.

"??"

Lu Nan was even more confused. What was the point of going back and forth like this? Were they crossing the water here?

Fujiwara Chika then explained, "Oh, it's reasonable for you to give me a fried egg since you treated me to dinner, but I felt that since this is your first time eating Family Ramen, it shouldn't be anything less than perfect, so I shared my fried egg with you, isn't that reasonable?"

That does seem to make some sense, although something seems a little off, but I guess I'm just overthinking it.

Lu Nan pointed to the ramen: "Shall I start eating?"

Fujiwara Chika smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, eat up."

Lu Nan was also a little hungry, so he and Dai Miao started slurping their noodles together. After a while, when he realized there was no movement next to him, Lu Nan bit off a piece of his ramen and turned around to see that Fujiwara Chika's bowl was still untouched. She was just resting her chin on her hand, her bright blue eyes quietly watching him.

Lu Nan said somewhat vaguely, "Senior, is there something on my face? Your face is all lumpy."

Fujiwara Chika snapped out of her daze and picked up her chopsticks: "No, I was just spacing out for a moment..."

Her lowered profile was slightly flushed with pink, like the color of her hair.

It wasn't until today that Fujiwara Chika realized that even with her favorite ramen right in front of her, there were still things that could steadily draw her attention.

It's strange, the ramen tastes exceptionally good today.

Although the owner seemed to have added a little too much salt, and it seemed a bit soggy, it was still very delicious, just like the ramen I had that day.

……

"We're full!" Lu Nan and Dai Miao rubbed their bellies, very satisfied. As expected of Family Portrait Ramen, the portions are huge and filling.

To Lu Nan's surprise, Fujiwara-senpai was able to finish the entire bowl of ramen. He had originally thought that Fujiwara-senpai had a small appetite.

During dinner, Fujiwara-senpai mentioned that she wanted to pray for her father and asked Lu Nan if he had any recommendations for shrines.

What a coincidence! Lu Nan happens to know a shrine.

……

According to Fujiwara Chika, the old man in the family seems to be in poor spirits lately. The doctors have examined him but haven't found anything wrong. In the end, Fujiwara Chika can only pin her hopes on praying for his well-being.

Fujiwara Chika originally thought it was some kind of large shrine or temple with very efficacious incense offerings.

But the place Lu Nan brought her to turned out to be...

Well, it can no longer be called remote; it's become somewhat desolate.

Looking at the plaque above the torii gate that read "Sanko-no-Kou Shrine," Fujiwara Chika asked hesitantly, "Is this the shrine you said is very efficacious?"

Lu Nan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's very effective. The old man will definitely get better."

Fujiwara Chika smiled and said, "Then I'll take your kind words."

She didn't know if it was true or not, but Lu Nan really took her words to heart, so she was very happy.

Chapter 315 Praying for Blessings Requires Sincerity

That being said, the place really looks desolate; it's a shrine that doesn't even have a wall around it.

The sink was even covered in cobwebs.

All of this seemed so unprofessional.

However, Lu Nan was very confident, which made Fujiwara Chika a little confused. Could there really be some reclusive master hiding here?

Unfortunately, there are no traces of human habitation here.

"But it still looks quite impressive..." Fujiwara Chika muttered softly. The torii gate was very tall, and the shrine was quite exquisite. It was clear that their ancestors had been wealthy.

To her surprise, there was no dust on the offering box and the rope, as if they had been used not long ago. Fujiwara Chika thought for a moment, then took out a few tissues and began to clean the rope.

Lu Nan, holding Dai Miao, was still a little reluctant to go in, because the stench from the previous incident had left a deep impression on them.

The silly cat covered its nose tightly, afraid to let go, for fear of being overwhelmed by the stench again.

The miniature old fox suddenly appeared on Lu Nan's shoulder, rubbing its paws together and fawningly saying, "Oh, sir, what brings you here? Could it be about that matter we talked about before...?"

Lu Nan knew what this guy was talking about. It was nothing more than his previous promise to help him rebuild the shrine. He hadn't made any progress before, but now it was very obvious what to do.

"That matter will be resolved soon. Is the stench around your house still there?" Lu Nan asked.

The old fox waved his hand: "What are you saying? They're long gone. After you left, I swept the whole area around the house, and those little devils aren't here anymore. It smells so fresh now!"

"And what about your scent?"

“You’ve hit the nail on the head. This is a method that Jianzi Xiaoni’s father taught us. It can conceal one’s aura and it works very well.” The old fox clicked his tongue. “That person is no ordinary person either.”

Hearing that the smell was gone, Lu Nan and Dai Miao both breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, otherwise they would have had to hold their breath for a long time.

Lu Nan asked, "By the way, how is Jianzi doing now?"

The old fox crossed his legs: "What else can I do? I'm busy. I don't even have time to play on my phone anymore. Right now, the area around her house is practically a no-go zone. Anyone who dares to step within three meters of her house will be instantly killed by her father."

"Even I'm not allowed to stay by her side anymore. Her dad said I'd interfere with her college entrance exam. Can you believe it? I've lived for so many years, a mere little exam is nothing to me!"

The old fox rolled over and asked in a low voice, "Hey, do you think there's some kind of conflict between Jianzi Xiaoni and her father? She keeps telling me not to tell her father the facts she can see, even though her father can guess some of them, she still doesn't dare to admit it."

Lu Nan rolled his eyes: "You talk too much nonsense. Stop meddling in other people's business. Besides, do you think you understand the college entrance exam?"

The old fox immediately objected: "Come on, give me a question!"

"Okay, what is the square root of three plus the square root of four?" Lu Nan asked. "It's a very simple, easy question."

The old fox stroked his chin and pondered for a while before asking, "I already know the answer. By the way, first tell me what the square root sign means?"

Lu Nan laughed in exasperation, ignoring the guy, and stepped through the torii gate to Fujiwara Chika's side.

At this moment, Fujiwara Chika also roughly cleaned the ropes and was brewing something.

Upon seeing Lu Nan arrive, he said, "Lu Nan, why don't you offer a prayer first? I need to think about what to say later."

Lu Nan held the teddy bear, which Fujiwara Chika had given him to hold while she was climbing up: "Me? I'm afraid I'd dare to bow to him but he wouldn't dare to accept it."

As he spoke, Lu Nan glanced at the old fox on his shoulder. The old fox smiled obsequiously and said, "Grandpa, you're joking. I still have some professional ethics. If you dare to worship me, I really dare to accept."

Wow, this guy's pretty arrogant.

Fujiwara Chika laughed: "You can't be so rude. Just consider it a small favor, okay? I haven't thought of how to say it yet."

Lu Nan was somewhat helpless, but he could only agree. He could just pray for anything... a raise would be a good wish.

"Sir, I can't help you with something that's too outrageous."

"Shut up, don't I know what you can and can't do?"

Lu Nan gave the old fox a curt reply and put the little cat down, so the little guy could take the opportunity to pray for good fortune.

However, there was a problem on the other hand. There was too much dust on the ground. It wouldn't matter since Xiao Daimiao could take a bath when he got back, but the plush bear in his hand would be difficult to clean if it was placed on the ground.

It wouldn't be good to let Dai Miao hold it, the little guy has already put his little hands together and is ready, it seems he values ​​this blessing, so Lu Nan doesn't want to disturb him.

He wasn't planning on making a serious prayer anyway, so he'd just put his palms together with one hand later.

Two coins were dropped in, and after pulling the rope, a clear bell rang out.
