My love index is at its maximum.

Saturday morning was a bit humid.

As I walked towards Sakura's family home in the morning, most of the scenery in my field of vision was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and there was a hazy layer of moisture in the air.

Primary school students participating in community activities walked past us, and the girls' pretty dresses swayed gracefully in the wind.

Tsukasa Tazaki bought a bottle of Pocari Sweat from a vending machine by the roadside and drank it as he walked.

As he passed the overpass near Miyashita Park, he saw a pixelated image of Astro Boy on the bridge.

A little further ahead, in the alley in front of the PARCO shopping mall, a pixelated lucky cat was smiling at him.

He smiled knowingly.

Tokyo is a city full of hidden Easter eggs. If you look carefully, you can find pixelated Hello Kitty, Pokémon, and various pixelated space invaders in different poses in hidden corners...

Passing by Shibuya Station, in front of the station is the famous Shibuya Crossing, which is said to see 250 million people crossing every day. Whenever the traffic lights change, the dense crowd of people squeezes and swims like a school of sardines, giving off a strange sense of otherworldly feeling.

Tsukasa Tazaki watched for a while but couldn't find Mika Nakashima, who had turned into a zombie.

Perhaps it's because it didn't rain today, or perhaps Umbrella Corporation simply doesn't exist in this world.

After leaving the bustling Shibuya area and walking through the underground passage of Kita-Sando, the environment gradually becomes more peaceful. The buildings along the way are all simple and elegant Japanese gardens, and cats and insects squint and sunbathe in the corners of the walls.

After arriving at Sakura's house, Tsukasa Tazaki did not linger in the dojo in the front yard, but went straight to the backyard.

Hoshino Hanami sent a message this morning saying that she had gastroenteritis and asked him to train on his own today.

Although gastroenteritis is not a serious illness, Tsukasa Tazaki had no interest in training at all.

Passing through the courtyard, we arrived at the small villa where the family lived. We saw Hoshino Shikami playing fetch with "Navy" in the yard. The early summer sun shone on the lawn, making her and the dog's silhouettes clear and bright.

Under the barbecue grill in the corner of the courtyard, there was still a pile of garbage left over from the barbecue feast—this was the culprit behind Da Ke'er's gastroenteritis.

Tsukasa Tazaki called out, "The Navy is here."

The Border Collie, which was carrying a ball towards its young owner, paused. It looked back, spat out the ball, barked twice, and then excitedly pounced on him, wagging its tail.

"The Navy is back!"

Hearing his little master's exasperated voice behind him, the Border Collie quickly stopped and ran back to his little master.

"The navy is coming."

"The Navy is back!"

"The navy is coming."

"The Navy is back!"

"..."

After a few back and forth movements, the Border Collie barked twice and dashed out of the yard.

You could tell it was angry.

Hoshino Shikami glared at Tazaki Tsukasa and asked angrily, "What are you doing here? You're not welcome here."

How is the teacher doing?

"My sister is mine, she's none of your business!"

Tazaki Tsukasa came to his sister-in-law's side and reached out to rub her head.

Hoshino Shika instinctively raised her hand, ready to slap him.

"Tsukasa Tazaki from Class 1-F is a scumbag who plays with girls' feelings."

"..."

The sister-in-law instantly lost her will to resist and obediently let her brother-in-law pat her head.

Tazaki Tsukasa ruffled her hair a few times like he would a sailor's head before asking, "Where's my sister?"

"Sleeping."

Hoshino Shika lowered her head, her face turning bright red, whether from shame or anger, it was hard to tell.

What did the doctor say?

"It's nothing serious. Just get some rest and control your diet for the next couple of days."

"I'm going to check on my sister. You go find the navy to play with by yourself."

Tazaki gave her a final pat and walked into the house.

"Tsukasa Tazaki!"

The younger sister gritted her teeth and shouted loudly behind him, "You better not let me catch you doing anything wrong, or I will make you pay for today's humiliation tenfold!"

Sunlight fell on the girl's rosy cheeks, her lips were stubbornly pouting, and she looked adorably fierce.

Tazaki Tsukasa went up to the second floor. Hoshino Hanami's door wasn't locked, so he knocked and peeked inside. A gentle breeze stirred the curtains, and the pristine white sheets looked as if they had just been washed, without a single wrinkle, but there was no one on them.

"teacher?"

He called out a few times, but there was no response. He took out his phone to make a call, and Hoshino Hanami's phone rang on the bedside table.

He left the room and walked down the corridor to the lobby on the second floor.

As I passed by the kitchen, I heard the sound of the refrigerator door opening and closing.

Tsukasa Tazaki walked in. The kitchen window was open, and a breeze was blowing in from the sink. After a few steps, he saw Hoshino Hanami, whose face was slightly pale and whose hair was disheveled.

A deer-shaped hair clip was crookedly clipped to her left side of her hair; it was more like a hair accessory than a hair clip.

Seeing Tsukasa Tazaki walk in, Hanami Hoshino leaned against the refrigerator door and asked casually, "What brings you here?"

"I looked for you in your room but couldn't find you, so I just wandered around."

"Oh, I'm fine, you go to training."

"Why aren't you resting? What are you doing in the kitchen?"

Hoshino Hanami forced herself to remain calm: "Just taking a look around."

"Don't eat random things if you have gastroenteritis." Tsukasa Tazaki walked to her side and took her hand.

The touch is slightly cool, gentle and delicate.

"Okay, okay." Hoshino Hanami pinched his earlobe and said with a smile, "Do I, a grown woman, need a little boy like you to teach me? I haven't eaten anything random this morning, okay?"

Tazaki Tsukasa reached out and wiped the black substance from the corner of her mouth, put it in his own mouth and tasted it, then asked, "Strawberry ice cream, right?"

"No, it's chocolate...huh?"

Hoshino Hanami blinked, her gaze filled with astonishment.

Oh no, I'm so ashamed I can't face anyone now...

The oval-faced beauty who had been so intellectual and composed just moments before now displayed a disastrous display of shyness and bewilderment.

Such a hilarious contrast is so endearing, it's heartwarming.

Tazaki Tsukasa secretly pinched his thigh, trying hard to suppress his laughter.

A smart man knows when to be humorous and when to be serious. If he were to burst into laughter right now, given Hoshino Hanami's personality, she might just give him a live demonstration of what it means to "murder one's husband."

The wind blowing through the courtyard stopped for a moment, and the chirping of birds could be heard, an incredible melody.

Tazaki Tsukasa admired her flushed cheeks and felt the passage of time become much lighter.

Hoshino Hanami listened to the birdsong for a while, then used the hand that Tazaki Tsukasa wasn't holding to clip the deer hair clip to her bangs, and then gently pressed the hair clip onto her forehead with her fingertips.

Then, she took a deep breath, buried her face in Tsukasa Tazaki's chest, and said in a coquettish tone, "I'm hungry, I just want to eat something..."

"You still can't eat ice cream, you have gastroenteritis right now."

"It's because Dad and Shikami ate all of breakfast, leaving me nothing!" Hoshino Hanami tilted her head slightly from his arms, pouting aggrievedly. "From childhood to adulthood, my biggest fear has been going hungry. The feeling of my stomach sticking to my back is like two cookies stuck together, with only a thin layer of cream filling left in the middle. It's like there's nothing there, but it's also like there isn't. You know how uncomfortable that is?"

Tazaki Tsukasa said helplessly, "Your analogy is as shocking as a mudslide."

"Haha... I'm a Chinese language teacher."

Hoshino Hanami hugged his neck and rubbed against him a few times, murmuring in the tone of a kitten begging for food, "Can you get me something to eat? If you don't let me eat, your favorite Hanami-san will starve to death in this heartless house."

It's unbearable to see someone so old still acting cute.

Tsukasa Tazaki tapped her forehead with his other hand: "Whatever you want to eat, I'll give you everything you want."

"Great!"

Hoshino Hanami excitedly rattled off a list of dishes.

Hamburger patties, hot dog and egg sandwiches, shrimp toast, ham and egg rolls, oatmeal porridge...

Tsukasa Tazaki's hand, which was gripping the refrigerator door, trembled slightly.

Feeling particularly heavy-hearted, he couldn't help but think about something: the person he liked... was she really a pig?

Chapter 107 Giving Birth to a Beautiful Moon Baby

Tsukasa Tazaki opened the refrigerator, glanced at it, and took out some of the ingredients.

Of course, he couldn't possibly make everything as Hoshino Hanami suggested. He only planned to cook some oatmeal porridge, and then make some shrimp toast and hamburger patties.

Although you can't eat these things if you have gastroenteritis, Hoshino Hanami's cute antics are just too adorable to resist.

At worst, we can make a smaller batch and give her a blood-nourishing medicine.

Tazaki Tsukasa boiled a pot of water to prepare oatmeal porridge. While waiting for the water to boil, he washed the frozen shrimp and removed the shrimp veins.

Remove only the shrimp meat and discard the rest. Place the shrimp meat in a blender and blend into a shrimp paste. Then add some minced garlic, cooking wine, sesame oil, pepper, and other seasonings, and mix the shrimp paste well.

Take out a thin slice of toast, flatten and press it with a rolling pin, wrap the filling inside, and fry it in oil until golden brown. The enticing aroma quickly fills the entire kitchen.

Once the water boils, pour in the oatmeal, and when it's almost done, add the milk.

While adding sugar, Tsukasa Tazaki opened the system panel and changed a Qi and Blood Medicine.

Purchased [Qi and Blood Medicine] x1, costing 10000.

Current available funds: 20050

After the oatmeal porridge was cooked, he added the qi and blood medicine to it.

Hoshino Hanami has always been in good health, and this bout of gastroenteritis wasn't serious. But with such a large appetite, it's hard not to worry about her health.
