"Xian Dong, you'd better come back right away! It's only 5:30 now, we're buying groceries, and if I don't see you by 6:30, I can't guarantee that everything in your room won't be completely different!"

"Oh, right, bring Xiao Xun with you! I know you're together. We went to the amusement park today too, but we didn't want to bother you since you seemed to be having a great time."

"Okay, that's it. Come back quickly! Beep beep beep beep..."

Arima Kenji looked at Miyazono Kaori helplessly and said, "The candlelight dinner is ruined. I wanted to have dinner with you, but Tsubaki insisted that I go back and asked me to bring you along."

"It's alright, she's Tsubaki after all! I can understand." As Tsubaki's classmate, Kaori Miyazono naturally understands Tsubaki's personality.

“If you don’t want to, I’ll take you home first, and then I’ll go home. They’re all at my house now: Watari and his girlfriend Keiko, Tsubaki, Kousei, that’s all.”

Chapter Forty-Six: Kind-hearted People

"Hmm... I'm going over. It doesn't matter where we eat dinner! We'll all be eating together anyway." Kaori Miyazono thought for a moment and then agreed.

Although Arima Kento had anticipated this, he did not expect her to agree so quickly.

"Didn't you agree to meet Xiaochun at 6:30? If you take me home first, I definitely won't be able to get to your place by 6:30. It would be good for us to meet your friends together, I don't mind."

Kaori Miyazono looked at Kenji Arima and said softly.

“It wasn’t arranged with her at all; she just said it on her own. I could have stayed home.” Yu Ma Xian Dong was somewhat grateful for the girl’s understanding. “But I’m also very happy that you can come.”

"By the way, my cooking skills have been praised by Kousei and Tsubaki! Maybe you'll get to eat my cooking today."

Upon hearing this, Kaori Miyazono's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Arima Kenjiro: "I never expected you could cook! I must try it."

Having made their decision, the two lost interest in continuing to play. After the Ferris wheel completed one rotation, they got off and headed towards the amusement park entrance.

It was still a tram. Arima Kenji's wish to take a taxi directly was ruthlessly suppressed by Miyazono Kaoru, "If everyone takes a taxi, then the tram will have been built for nothing!"

Okay, you have a strong reason, you're beautiful, I'll give in, alright?

The journey took nearly forty minutes, and by the time the two got off the train, it was already 6:10. It was about a twenty-minute walk from the station to their home, so they should have enough time.

As the two walked together, Arima Kento noticed that Miyazono Kaori's pace was slowing down, and he cursed himself inwardly for forgetting about her physical condition!

What's a manageable amount of exercise for most people is a bit strenuous for Kaori Miyazono. She just didn't bring it up herself out of politeness.

We've only traveled a short distance, and I need to find a way to make the rest of the journey easier for Kaori Miyazono. Otherwise, I'd be a rather incompetent 'boyfriend'.

Call a taxi? No way. Kaori Miyazono is a staunch taxi enthusiast. If they could take a taxi, they could have done so on their way to and from the amusement park.

Then there's only one way left.

"Hey, Kaoru! Wait a minute!" Arima Kento turned to the girl behind him and said, "Walking like this is too slow. I'll go find a way to get around. You stay here and don't wander off."

After a moment's thought, Kaori Miyazono understood why Arima Kenji had done this, and said with some emotion, "Kenji, thank you! I'll stay here and make sure I stay."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

The road the two were walking on was a paved road similar to that in a town. Because this was a relatively remote area of ​​Tokyo, there was much less traffic.

Kaori Miyazono walked to a public bench by the roadside and sat down. The benches are cleaned and wiped down daily by cleaners, so there's no need to worry about dust getting on your clothes.

She let out a long sigh of relief. The afternoon's activities had indeed been very tiring, especially since they had only played relatively gentle rides. If it had been something more intense, she might have fainted at the amusement park.

Even so, she was unwilling to give up this opportunity because she was unsure whether she would be able to leave the hospital after her next hospitalization.

Perhaps this is the last time she can freely allocate her time! She will seize this time and finish everything she wants to do.

She took out her phone, which was just an ordinary smartphone, not as good as Ma Xiandong's Apple phone, but she didn't feel ashamed at all.

This was her birthday present last year; her parents carefully selected a cell phone for her, and holding it only brought her warmth.

After fiddling with it for a while, Kaori Miyazono suddenly realized that she hadn't exchanged contact numbers with Arima Kenjiro yet; they had probably both forgotten about it!

After all, they've spent more time together these past two days than they've spent with their own parents.

We need to find a time to exchange contact numbers later. This is very important, just in case I want someone to talk to tonight.

I think Xian Dong wouldn't refuse!

Arima Kento certainly wouldn't refuse; he was even more eager to exchange contact numbers with Miyazono Kaoru!

Actually, he is a bit of a phone addict. Whether he uses his phone or not, he can't be without it, otherwise he will feel inexplicably uneasy.

Even after they separated, Arima Kenjiro could still hear or see Miyazono Kaori through his phone and the internet, which he considered the greatest advantage of the internet.

At this moment, Arima Kento is fiddling with a bicycle. It's a multi-speed bicycle, but it still has a back seat, so one person can ride it while another person carries it.

Since it's not far from home, but I can't carry Kaori Miyazono all the way home, the best way is to ride my bicycle with Kaori Miyazono on my back.

This bicycle was just borrowed by Arima Kento from a nearby store. Of course, it wasn't borrowed for free; Arima Kento wrote down his phone number and provided an IOU.

Although he originally wanted to buy the bicycle, the other party refused to buy it, only agreed to lend it to him, and even charged him 50 RMB.

In other words, he'll have to return it later, which is quite troublesome, but he has no choice but to do it. There are no bicycle shops around here, so he has to rely on this shop's 'kindness' in borrowing a bike.

After making some adjustments, Arima Kento got into the car and drove towards the spot where Miyazono Kaori had been sitting.

Kaori Miyazono was playing on her phone when she suddenly heard a "ding-dong~~~", which startled her.

Looking up, he saw Ma Xiandong sitting on the bicycle seat, propping the bike up with his feet, looking nonchalant, and saying to Miyazono Kaoru, "Beautiful lady, want a ride for eighty? I'm very fast, definitely worth the price!"

A passerby walked by, glanced at the two of them strangely, and stopped to watch instead of continuing on his way. He probably stayed there because he thought Kaori Miyazono was pretty and cute and didn't want her to be tricked by 'bad people'.

"Hmm~ Eighty is a bit expensive. I'll take it if it's cheaper." Kaori Miyazono also put on a great performance, pretending to be an oblivious passenger.

"How about I give you fifty?"

"Okay!" This shout came not from Kaori Miyazono, but from the passerby. Things like getting money for free are always very attractive.

Seeing that the passerby was about to sit on the back of Arima Kento's bicycle, Arima Kento finally stopped his acting and hurriedly explained for a while.

Kaori Miyazono found it amusing, but she also chimed in with a few words, clarifying her relationship with the other person before the onlooker finally gave up.

As the kind passerby left, he gave Arima Kenji a wary look several times and quietly told Miyazono Kaoru, "Be careful. If he dares to do anything to you, call the police!"

Chapter 47 Collaborative Cuisine

Sitting on the back of the bicycle that Arima Kento had borrowed, the girl's laughter never stopped the whole way.

"That kind person is so interesting!" Kaori Miyazono said with a smile, gently putting her arms around Arima Kenji's back. "Hey, did you hear what they just said to me?"

"No, I need to concentrate on riding. If you cause any more trouble, be careful of a crash and death, or even two lives lost! Ugh, two lives lost!" Arima Kento didn't turn around.

Kaori Miyazono pouted, "Tch, you must have heard that. He said if you do anything to me, I should call the police! By the way, I'll save the police number as a speed dial, so if you really do something to me later, I can call the police immediately!"

Huh?! Can you tolerate this? Ma Xiandong will tell you you can't... just kidding!

The bicycle continued forward steadily. Of course, Yu Ma Xian Dong knew that the girl was joking. As long as she was happy, he wasn't really at a disadvantage!

Others don't even have the chance to get as close to Kaori Miyazono as I do!

After about ten minutes, the residential area where my house was located came into view; we were finally almost there.

Even though Ma Xiandong's physical fitness is better than his peers, he is still only a fourteen-year-old boy. After ten minutes of cycling, carrying the weight of two people, and riding uphill all the way, he felt tired and was panting.

The bicycle stopped in front of the door, and Kaori Miyazono jumped off the back seat and rang the doorbell first. It was just 6:25, and the others should have returned by now.

While waiting for the door to open, Kaori Miyazono noticed that Arima Kento's forehead and neck were covered in sweat, and for a moment, she felt ashamed.

If it weren't for his own health issues, Arima Kento wouldn't have had to ride such a strenuous bike ride!

Thinking this, Kaori Miyazono took out a tissue and personally wiped away Arima Kento's sweat.

Arima Kento was somewhat flattered, but he didn't refuse. If a girl you like wipes your sweat, you're bound to be single forever!

Click!

Just then, the door opened, and Kousei Yuma's voice came through, "Welcome back!"

Then Kousei saw Kaori Miyazono wiping Arima Kento's sweat.

His heart suffered another ten thousand points of damage, but his face only darkened slightly, and he said in the same tone, "Come in quickly! We've already done half of it, the other half is up to you two, Xian Dong and Gui Zi."

After entering the room, Arima Kousei did not stay in the entryway but went inside to inform the others.

Arima Kenjiro took off his shoes and put on his slippers, which he wore at home. Just as he was about to go inside, he discovered that Miyazono Kaori was barefoot on the floor.

"Sorry, sorry! I forgot to bring another pair of slippers!" With that, Arima Kento took off his own shoes and placed them in front of Miyazono Kaoru, saying, "You can wear mine for now! I'll look for some other slippers."

"Hmm, do you have athlete's foot?" Kaori Miyazono said something that made Arima Kenji want to die.

With a dark expression, he took a pair of pink slippers from the shoe cabinet, placed them in front of Kaori Miyazono, silently put on his own slippers, and said, "These are the shoes that Tsubaki put here. She put several pairs here. You can wear these!"

"Also, I have terrible athlete's foot, the kind that can suffocate you! What do you think!"

After saying that, he ignored the girl who liked to say outrageous things and walked towards the kitchen.

Previously, Gong Sheng and the others had said that they wanted him to come back so early so that he could cook some dishes.

As for what Gong Sheng just said, they only did half of the work, which at most involved washing the vegetables and putting the rice in the steamer to cook. He still had to do the stir-frying.

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled, ignoring Ma Xiandong's actions, and followed him into the living room.

As soon as they entered the living room, A-Du's voice rang out, "Wow! It's so beautiful! I kind of regret not going with you yesterday! Hey~~ Keiko, listen to me, I just said I regretted not making this friend, I really didn't mean anything else! Ah!!"

Arima Kento glanced at Watari Ryota, who was reaping what he sowed, and looked at the girl who was pinching Watari Ryota's waist. He said, "Hello, you must be Watari's girlfriend, Keiko! This guy is just a smart aleck, but he's actually a pretty nice person. Please bear with him."

Keiko is a girl with long, wavy brown hair, and she is also a pretty person. However, unlike the kind of stunning beauty, Keiko is very pleasing to the eye.

"I know this guy's character, so don't worry! I'll definitely keep his heart with me, unlike my previous two!"

Keiko said some shocking things right from the start, but she seems like a pretty good person.

"Xiao Xun, please sit wherever you like. A-Du, please pour Xiao Xun a cup of hot water. Keiko and I will go and cook."

Back home, Ma Xiandong instinctively gave instructions, since everyone was a friend and there was nothing to be shy about.

Upon hearing this, Keiko followed Arima Kento into the kitchen. After a brief discussion, the two decided to cook their own dishes, one Chinese and the other Japanese, so they couldn't possibly cook together.

The kitchen was bustling with activity, and the scene outside was equally lively.

Kaori Miyazono and Tsubaki Sawabe sat together, while Kousei Arima and Ryota Watari sat on the sofa on the other side. A news program was playing on the LCD TV on the other side of the coffee table, but none of the four of them were paying attention to the program.

"Kaoru, you two had so much fun today! We went to the amusement park too, and we saw you there, but we didn't want to bother you," said Tsubaki Sawabe, putting her arm around Kaoru Miyazono's arm.

She is very lively and can talk about any topic without restraint.

Kaori Miyazono smiled slightly, but seemed a little reserved, lacking the carefree ease she displayed when interacting with Arima Kenjiro.

"Actually, I saw you too, but Xian Dong went to buy food, and I had to stay where I was and wait for him, otherwise he would get anxious if he couldn't find me, so I didn't look for you."
