Sakurako Busujima chuckled, "Since we've come this far, you'll stay with me until the end."

She pulled Lu Nan along, saying, "After all, we haven't eaten yet, have we?"

……

"I'm sorry, we're about to close."

"Sorry, we are fully booked."

"Personnel related to PaB are not allowed to enter."

On the main road, Lu Nan and Busujima Sakura stood bewildered in the wind.

Sakurako Busujima pointed to the sign in front of the Fourth Izakaya that read "PaB Personnel Only" and asked with some suspicion, "Is your club really a legitimate club?"

Lu Nan turned his head: "Yes...yes..."

"Don't be so guilty," Sakurako Busujima said helplessly. "Seriously, there's no other way..."

In the end, the two could only go to a convenience store to buy some bento boxes and the like. Lu Nan suddenly felt like he had returned to a long time ago.

I found a sheltered spot by the sea and sat down.

Facing the sea, Lu Nan popped open his ice-cold beer with a "plop": "Seriously, I didn't expect that nowhere would welcome me."

Sakurako Busujima rolled her eyes: "I think in a sense, your club brought this on itself, right?"

She sighed, "What a pity, I was planning to scam you out of a meal."

"You're bragging. I'm the one trying to scam you," Lu Nan scoffed.

Sakurako Busujima smiled helplessly: "Yeah, yeah~ What's the point of saying all this now? We can't even find a place to eat."

Looking at the sea reflecting the moon, Lu Nan said, "Well, the scenery is pretty good anyway. Drinking beer while looking at the sea isn't so bad."

"Hmm." Sakurako Busujima glanced at the beer in Lu Nan's hand: "Lu Nan, give me one too."

"?" Lu Nan was a little confused: "Isn't it right next to you? Can't you just take it yourself?"

"No, I'm so tired right now, I don't want to move at all."

"I'm really impressed with you... Here you go."

Thank you.

The two clinked glasses.

"cheers."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Sakurako Busujima looked at the beer in her hand and suddenly felt a warm sensation, as if the sun had descended from the sky and embraced her once again.

"It's been so long since I've had a beer with you outside like this," Sakurako Busujima said, swinging her legs. "It brings back some bad memories."

After all, she was really unlucky back then.

"Huh?" Lu Nan turned his head: "Ah, you mean back then... I remember the show 'Unlucky Bear' was canceled, so why is there one next to me?"

Sakurako Busujima rolled her eyes: "Go to hell."

Lu Nan opened the bento box and broke the chopsticks apart: "But speaking of which, you and Shang Hai are really not a good match at all."

"Are you trying to start a fight with me?" Sakurako Busujima reached out and snatched the bento box that Lu Nan had just opened from his hand. "Here you go, yours looks even tastier."

Lu Nan was speechless. What the hell? It looks even tastier. Didn't we buy the same bento box?

"No, it's just to be honest, if you can't be your true self in front of him, there's no way you can be together." Lu Nan picked at his food.

"...You're right. By the way, can you feed me? I'm so tired." Sakurako Busujima handed over the chopsticks with a serious expression.

"Even elementary school students know to do their own things." Lu Nan pushed the chopsticks back. "To be honest, if Shanghai were twice as bad, there might still be a chance."

"What? Want to have one last argument as a final memory of the trip?" Sakurako Busujima raised an eyebrow: "If you want to argue, I'm ready anytime."

"It's just my personal opinion." Lu Nan smacked his lips twice. "I feel like the bento boxes don't taste as good as they used to."

“Lu Nan.” Sakurako Busujima looked at Lu Nan earnestly: “I’ve changed now. I’ll respect your hobbies and such, and even if I don’t understand them, I won’t be the same as before. I…”

Sakurako Busujima choked, the sound stuck in her throat.

Lu Nan was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "To be honest, I don't know why you like me so much, even to the point of going to this lengths."

Lu Nan turned to look at Busujima Sakurako: "I don't think I did anything wrong. I just couldn't stand the way you looked back then. How should I put it... you looked so pathetic."

"You look so disheveled that I don't think it's like you at all, which is why I thought I'd help you out, since we're colleagues."

Lu Nan sighed, "To be honest, I regret it a little. If I hadn't been there, the Employee of the Week award would have been mine."

"If it had been Shanghai-kun, Sasaki-senpai, or the store manager sitting there, I would have gone up to help. Of course, if it had been the store manager, I wouldn't have carried him, since the store manager seems to have gained a little weight recently."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Lu Nan looked at Sakurako Busujima.

Sakurako Busujima looked at Lu Nan and asked, "So, that means I was rejected?"

Lu Nan shook his head: "No, you didn't even confess, so how can you talk about rejection? I just expressed my misunderstanding and thoughts."

Sakurako Busujima buried her head in her knees.

Lu Nan silently turned around and began to clean up the trash on the ground.

"But I still like you."

The sound seemed to come on the night breeze, gently brushing against Lu Nan's face.

Lu Nan froze on the spot and turned to look at Sakura Tokushima.

She lifted her head from her arms, her eyes filled with tears, and stared intently at Lu Nan.

Chapter 435 My offensive is quite strong!

The moon reflected on the sea swayed gently, as if being carried ashore by the tide.

Lu Nan looked at Busujima Sakurako, and Busujima Sakurako looked back at Lu Nan.

For no apparent reason, Lu Nan felt that the current Sakura Dokushima was somewhat similar to the Sakura Dokushima he had met that night in the alley, when she had looked up at him from her arms in the same way.

"Are you kidding me?" Lu Nan asked.

Sakurako Busujima retorted, "Does this look like a joke?"

Lu Nan fell silent, because she looked very serious and didn't seem to be joking at all.

"Okay, you can still tell the difference between whether someone is telling the truth or not."

"Right?" Sakurako Busujima chuckled. "Even if you're incredibly dense, you should be able to see it by now, right?"

"That's really going too far." Lu Nan took a sip of beer. He didn't care about being called a blockhead; Sister Zi and the others always said he had high emotional intelligence.

Sakurako Busujima raised an eyebrow and asked, "Isn't that right? I made it so obvious before."

"To be honest, back then I felt like you didn't like me, but rather like you were offering a huge sum of money to have a child." Lu Nan turned his head away; in fact, strictly speaking, they were both star-addicted...

"Huh? What you're saying now is really going too far!" Sakurako Busujima sighed, wondering how she could have fallen for a man with a mouth even more venomous than hers. "So, what's your answer?"

"It was all so sudden, I don't know what to say for a moment..." Lu Nan scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.

"Let me make this clear beforehand," Sakurako Busujima said, tilting her head to look at Lu Nan. "Even if I'm rejected, I won't give up, okay?"

"Huh?" Lu Nan was speechless. "Then why did you ask me?"

Sakurako Busujima looked at the sea in front of her and smiled: "The atmosphere is so good, what if you say yes?"

After all, based on her understanding of Lu Nan, she knew that if Lu Nan agreed, he would definitely not remain indifferent.

After a moment of silence, Lu Nan, holding his beer, said, "I have many girlfriends, you know."

"I know." Sakurako Busujima raised an eyebrow. "You don't think I'll give up just because you said that, do you? On the contrary, my determination right now is terrifyingly strong. I won't hold back with those women, you know?"

"You really dare to think and act in this regard," Lu Nan said helplessly, turning his head away.

"So," Sakurako Busujima grabbed Lu Nan's clothes and forcefully turned his head, "so, what's your answer?"

Lu Nan looked into those eyes so close to his own, where pleading and expectation rippled.

But... to be honest, he hasn't quite come to terms with Busujima Sakura's identity yet. At first, she was practically an enemy, then a colleague, and finally a pretty good friend.

Suddenly, his friend confessed her feelings to him, saying she had liked him for a long time. Who could resist that?

Lu Nan subconsciously shifted his gaze.

Sakurako Busujima's eyes trembled slightly; she understood.

"I'm sorry, I still think it's a bit too fast. I haven't been able to fall in love with it yet..."

"Stop!" Sakurako Busujima pressed her finger to Lu Nan's mouth.

"...What's wrong now?"

"Let's make this clear beforehand." Sakurako Busujima crossed her arms. "Ever since last time, Lord Busujima has erased the phrase 'being rejected after confessing one's feelings' from his dictionary."

She reached out and poked Lu Nan's cheek: "So your only options are 'yes!' and 'I'm extremely honored!'"

Lu Nan raised his hand: "Um... is there a third option?"

Sakurako Busujima looked at Lu Nan, and after a while sighed: "Seriously, I just can't do anything with you. Okay, there's also the option of [wait a minute]."

"Wait a minute?" Lu Nan asked, puzzled.

“Yeah, wait a minute.” Sakurako Busujima reached out and pinched Lu Nan’s cheek: “Wait until I’ve won you over and you’re willing to accept my confession.”

Lu Nan was taken aback, then burst out laughing: "Hahaha, what is this? Are you playing a game with me?"

Sakurako Busujima jumped down to the next step, so that she could stand at eye level with Lu Nan, who was sitting down.

“I’m really serious.” Sakurako Busujima looked into Lu Nan’s eyes, her expression extremely earnest: “I’m very, very serious.”

The cunning fox is now as stubborn as a savage rhinoceros.

Lu Nan was amused by his own wild thoughts and wanted to laugh even more. He smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to win me over until I willingly fall in love with you before I accept your confession."

"Alright!" Sakurako Busujima said confidently, pointing a finger at Lu Nan: "Then you'd better be prepared!!"
