My love index is at its maximum.

The effects of blood and qi medicine can improve physical condition and prevent diseases, making it very suitable for her to take.

There are only three days left until June 1st. After attending the ball with the landlady tonight, I need to buy all the skills and items I need for this month, and then wait for the June shop to refresh.

After the hamburger patties are cooked, a notification pops up.

[Cooking Skill Proficiency +2]

Current skill level: Proficient (1000/1000)

[Cooking (Proficient) → Cooking (Professional)]

[Current Skill Level: Class (0/10000)]

Tsukasa Tazaki ate the shrimp toast and hamburger patties he had prepared, and then used his professional-level culinary skills to make two even better ones.

I didn't mean anything by it, I just spoil her.

Carrying breakfast to the dining room, Hoshino Hanami had already tidied herself up. Although she was still wearing the same pajamas as before, a light layer of foundation had been applied to her previously pale face. Her previously messy hair was now elegantly tied up, revealing her slender and fair nape.

There was also a vase on the dining table, with tulips blooming with pink and yellow petals. The air in the room was warm and filled with a rich floral fragrance.

"You're so slow..."

Hoshino Hanami craned her neck to look at the plate in his hand. When she saw that there were only three items on it, her excited expression instantly turned into dissatisfaction.

"Why is there so little..."

"Your current physical condition doesn't allow you to eat that much."

Tsukasa Tazaki sat down next to her and handed her some oatmeal porridge: "Have some porridge first."

"Having something to eat is better than nothing." Hoshino Hanami brushed a few strands of hair behind her ear with her fingers and smiled. Her slightly fragile smile was like the last faint ray of sunlight filtering through the treetops on a summer evening.

Even while she was ill, she was still quite a gentle and intelligent older sister. However, Tsukasa Tazaki wanted her to recover as soon as possible, and whether she was gentle or not was completely unimportant.

You can find countless flaws in someone you don't like; but you can cherish someone you love as a treasure.

After finishing half of her oatmeal porridge, Hoshino Hanami picked up a piece of shrimp toast, took a small bite, and chewed slowly.

The shrimp paste is tender and soft, and the toast is crisp and delicious.

"Delicious~!" As her ahoge (cowlick) stood up, Hoshino Hanami squinted her eyes in disbelief and said with surprise, "Your cooking skills have improved so quickly, how did you do it? Just two weeks ago you were so bad that you could still find eggshells in your omelets."

"When I'm cooking, all I can think about is my teacher..." Tsukasa Tazaki chuckled and said, "My skills will naturally improve very quickly."

"Ugh...so cheesy."

Hoshino Hanami glared at him, then lowered her head and ate the rest of her breakfast. Occasionally, she would glance up at him and complain, "This is hardly enough."

"The portion size is fine; the problem is your appetite."

"I'm a patient, you have to take good care of me!"

"Eat quickly."

The tulips across the table were so fresh, their color and aroma so enticing, as if they had just been picked from the garden.

After breakfast, Hoshino Hanami returned to her room to rest.

Tsukasa Tazaki put the dishes on the kitchen sink for the servants to wash. He returned to the dining table, took a pink tulip from the vase, and went to Hoshino Hanami's room.

The windows were open, and the early summer sunlight shone brightly on the plain-colored carpet, the light clear and unobstructed.

Hoshino Hanami lay on her side on the bed, her beautiful hair spread out on the white sheets, as black as overflowing ink.

Tsukasa Tazaki walked over, squatted down in front of her, and held the tulip in his hand to her nose.

Pink tulips symbolize eternal love.

Hoshino Hanami stared at his face with a smile, the petals gently brushing against the tip of his nose, a little itchy, but she liked this kind of itch that could reach the depths of her soul.

"What do you want to say?" she asked, knowing the answer already.

Her delicate face and loving eyes were more captivating than the flowers in her hands.

Their warm gazes met, and Tsukasa Tazaki leaned in close, their noses touching through the flowers: "I will always love my Hanami-san."

Hoshino Hanami reached out and pulled out the squashed tulip, bringing their noses close together.

Their eyes were no more than a centimeter apart. She gazed at her reflection in Tsukasa Tazaki's eyes: "How much do you love me?"

"I love him so much that I want to kill Batman with the Joker."

"Wow, you're calling me a villain!" Hoshino Hanami's heart warmed, and she affectionately rubbed her nose against his: "Not satisfied? Let's do it again."

Tazaki Tsukasa lowered his face slightly, feeling her sensual lips with the tip of his nose, warm and hot. He gently caressed them for a moment, then raised his face: "I want to live with you on the far side of the moon."

Hoshino Hanami cupped his cheeks in her hands: "Why?"

"Earth is too vulgar, it's not good enough for you. So let's go to the far side of the moon and have a beautiful moon baby there."

"A baby born on the moon?"

"Yeah, a one-of-a-kind moon baby, isn't that amazing?"

"That's amazing!"

Hoshino Hanami leaned forward and unexpectedly planted a light kiss on Tazaki Tsukasa's lips.

It separates at the slightest touch, soft and sweet, as if spring has just left and is now returning on tiptoe.

An indescribable itching sensation instantly spread to every cell in my body!

"This is an adult's kiss."

Hoshino Hanami squinted, a shy smile playing on her lips: "We'll continue when you grow up."

Tsukasa Tazaki flipped onto the bed and pulled her into his arms through her clothes.

"Don't move." Hoshino Hanami gently patted his back. "I want to sleep, so you better behave."

"Yes, ma'am."

With a happy smile still on her lips, Hoshino Hanami slowly drifted into a sweet sleep.

Sunlight shone on her profile, highlighting her slightly flushed skin, delicate nose, tender lips, and fine downy hairs on her cheeks; she was so beautiful it was almost dreamlike.

"Being in love really does make you lazy..." Tsukasa Tazaki sighed, holding her warm body in his arms, his consciousness gradually becoming hazy.

A gentle breeze stirred, causing the white curtains to flutter. In the dappled sunlight filtering through the swaying oak branches, a Border Collie chasing dragonflies in the yard tripped and fell.

The leaves rustled, making a loud, mocking sound.

Chapter 108 Hoshino Shikami's existential crisis

Around noon, Hoshino Hanami woke up for a while, drank some porridge, took her medicine, and then went back to sleep.

Tsukasa Tazaki took her car keys and walked to the parking lot.

A black SUV with a 4.0T V8 engine sat in the sunlight, its flawless paint gleaming brightly. Black window tinting prevented any view of the interior from the outside.

Once you open the door and get in, the interior is a complete enclosed space. The rear seats are very spacious; two people can lie down and exercise without any problem.

It took Tsukasa Tazaki more than an hour to slowly tinker with the car and level up his riding skills to the proficient level.

Okay, no need to buy Riding (Mastery), saving 50000 coins. After all, he doesn't plan to be a race car driver or aircraft carrier pilot. He can level up his Riding skill to professional level later, which will be enough for a lifetime.

In the afternoon, Tsukasa Tazaki went to the gym in the front yard and swam five laps in the 25-meter standard swimming pool, during which "experience +1" notifications kept popping up.

He climbed out of the pool, and his skills improved.

[Water skills proficiency +1]

Current skill level: Beginner (100/100)

[Water Skills (Beginner) → Water Skills (Advanced)]

Current skill level: Proficient (0/1000)

After checking the skill description, I found that water skills include swimming, diving without equipment, and adaptability to underwater environments.

After resting for a while, I ate half a ham and egg sandwich to replenish my energy, and then did weightlifting and running in the gym.

Around 4 PM, Tsukasa Tazaki got off the treadmill and was about to go back when Hanami Hoshino suddenly attacked him like a starving tigress, showing no signs of what a person with gastroenteritis should be like.

"Tazaki, come and spar with me!"

"Clam?"

"I feel full of energy right now, and I need to let it out."

"..."

"Look at the fist!"

Hoshino Hanami confidently threw a punch, which Tazaki Tsukasa nimbly dodged, and a chase ensued inside the gym.

After a moment, Hoshino Hanami realized how wrong she was.

When Tazaki Tsukasa ran away, he was like an eel in the water, constantly squeezing through the gaps in the gym equipment. He chased him for five minutes, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even touch his body.

"Don't run!"

Only a fool wouldn't run...

The strength that Hoshino Hanami was displaying at this moment was clearly at the level of 7 points of stamina. Tazaki Tsukasa, with only 5 points of stamina, dared not confront her head-on, and could only rely on the agility brought by his mixed martial arts mastery to dodge left and right, avoiding a direct confrontation with her.

"Watch me catch you!"

"Can't catch it."

"If you run away again, you're not allowed to touch me for a whole month!"

"..."

This trick is too cheesy, it's forbidden!

Tazaki Tsukasa dodged her kick, standing still and protecting his head with his hands. Hoshino Hanami's fist landed on his arm. Perhaps worried that he couldn't take it, she deliberately held back her strength.

She then threw a second punch, but this time she missed.

It wasn't that Tsukasa Tazaki dodged again, but rather that he had already bent down. After Hoshino Hanami's punch missed, Tsukasa Tazaki lunged forward, grabbed her waist, and the two fell to the floor together, rolling around a few times.

"Let me go!"

"Don't let it go!"
