"Wow~" Before going out to sea, Bo Island had been dieting and rarely ate cake. Today was Xiaolin Lan's birthday, so she indulged herself and took a bite. She was filled with satisfied joy. "This cake is great, and the jam is delicious."

“This strawberry jam was made by Lianlian herself,” Lan Qiansha said, pointing to the next layer. “There’s also orange jam that was specially made for Lanlan.”

"It tastes sweet, like oranges." Xiaolin Lan tasted a small piece. "Thank you, Aunt Lianlian~ The orange jam is wonderful!"

"I'm glad you like it." Hazuki Ren looked at Kobayashi Megumi. "I made a few extra jars, so they should last for a while. However, I adjusted the amount of sugar, so the taste is better, but the shelf life is also much shorter."

“I’m still making the strawberry jam I learned to make before,” Kobayashi Megumi said, her face slightly flushed. “I always finish it without even realizing it.”

Kobayashi Sora nodded. "It's super delicious."

Kobayashi Megumi gently pinched my finger.

“It’s rare to be in such a good mood,” Akane Akasaka suggested, “Let’s have a drink!”

Machida Enzi looked sideways, "Sissi?"

"I mean... the non-alcoholic kind."

"Here you go." Kasumigaoka Utaha handed Akane Kousaka a can. "Hey, I'm telling you, you haven't successfully quit drinking yet?"

“It was almost over…” Machida Sonoko sighed. She shouldn’t have been soft-hearted. As a result, not only did Akane Akasaka fail to quit drinking, but she also got herself involved.

"This Mapo Tofu is amazing!" Tang Keke exclaimed. "Hui, did you make this?"

“This was made by Sora Aoi,” Kobayashi Megumi replied. “I really like this dish too.”

"Is it really that good...?" Heian Nami was a little unwilling. "Ugh... It's so spicy~"

“You can tell just by looking at it,” Tang Keke said, feeding Ping An Mingjin directly from the cup. “Drink slowly.”

"Is it that spicy?" Lan Qiansha took a bite. "It's alright."

"You'll get used to it after a few tries." Eriri took a spoonful without batting an eye. "...It's so hot!"

Ran Kobayashi held a small cup of soda and gently poked Sora Kobayashi.

"Hmm?" Kobayashi Sora listened intently. "Hmm... Great! Everyone will like it too."

"Really?" Ran Kobayashi mustered her courage, raised her small cup, and led everyone in a toast. "May everyone's wishes come true!"

"May all your wishes come true!" Everyone raised their glasses together. "Cheers!"

Chapter 912 is nothing special.

As night falls, the day's excitement comes to an end.

Xiaolin Lan finished washing up early, returned to her room, and climbed into her small bed.

Megumi Kobayashi helped her cover herself with the blanket, and Mochi jumped up from the foot of the bed to tuck the blanket under Ran Kobayashi, its fluffy tail gently covering Ran Kobayashi's body.

When no one is home, Nian Gao can sleep half-asleep all day.

Many guests came today, and Nian Gao couldn't sleep well. Just now, when Xiao Linlan was washing up, Nian Gao kept yawning, but still followed behind her, trying hard to stay awake despite her drowsiness.

"Mommy~" Lin Lan patted Nian Gao's head, "Goodnight... ooh... goodnight~"

Before she could finish saying goodnight, Xiaolin Lan yawned.

Megumi Kobayashi gently kissed her daughter's forehead, "Goodnight, baby~"

Ran Kobayashi responded with a muffled sound and quickly drifted off to sleep.

"Looks like she's really tired." Kobayashi Megumi left her daughter's room and hugged Kobayashi Sora on the living room sofa. "She fell asleep as soon as her little head tilted to the side... Aww~" Kobayashi Megumi yawned. "Ugh... yawning is contagious."

"Kids seem to fall asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow, it's so enviable... Ahh~" Kobayashi Sora blinked after yawning, "Yawning seems to be contagious."

Megumi Kobayashi reached out and wiped away the tears that had welled up in Kobayashi Sora's eyes from her yawn. "Right~"

Kobayashi Sora saved the file and put the notebook aside, saying, "Mom, you worked hard today~"

“Dad has been helping the whole time, and he helped tidy up when everyone left, so it wasn’t too tiring.” Seeing Kobayashi Sora put the laptop on the table, Kobayashi Megumi put her legs on Kobayashi Sora’s legs, tightened her arms around his neck, and snuggled into his arms. “It’s rare to see the house so lively.”

Kobayashi Sora hugged the sweet and soft Kobayashi Megumi. "That's right. When Lanlan mentioned it today, I realized that I've made so many friends without even realizing it. Since meeting Mom, I've made more and more friends."

"Hmm...you cheat." Kobayashi Megumi twisted her body slightly. "That's what I was just about to say."

"Then you speak, I'm listening."

"You've said everything..." Kobayashi Megumi gently rubbed Kobayashi Sora's lips, "Your lips are so quick... so soft... so warm..."

As she spoke, Kobayashi Megumi moved her fingers away, making room for her slightly parted cherry lips.

Soft and warm.

Her long eyelashes trembled as Kobayashi Megumi savored the taste.

Even though they had kissed countless times, she still couldn't resist the urge to kiss again.

boo~

Her moist, cherry-red lips shimmered in the light, and Kobayashi Megumi swung her legs slightly. "We should go to sleep too."

Kobayashi Sora picked up Kobayashi Megumi and asked, "Are you sleeping so early?"

“Yeah, right!” Kobayashi Megumi retorted, “Doesn’t Daddy want to?”

"think."

Kobayashi Sora carried Kobayashi Megumi into the bedroom and gently placed her on the bed.

"Darling~" Kobayashi Megumi called softly, "I don't want to move, help me change into my pajamas."

"Pajamas..." Kobayashi Sora asked, "Which one do you want to wear?"

"I want to wear the one you picked out for me."

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Sora walked to the bedside empty-handed. "How about Kobayashi-brand pajamas?"

Kobayashi Megumi bit her lower lip lightly, "Hmm... I already told you it was your choice."

"Wow~ I'm so tired~" Eriri collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she got home. "I didn't know playing all day could be this tiring~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha closed the door behind her. "You only found out about this now?"

"I used to play mostly out of fear, and even when I went out, it was mostly for research purposes." Eriri stretched on the sofa. "There were probably times when I just played around, but that was a long time ago."

Kasumigaoka Utaha noticed the curves of Eriri's outstretched body and involuntarily began to recall the corresponding feel in her mind, "It's because of her severe procrastination. She can only fully immerse herself in things when the deadline is approaching."

"I only get inspiration at the last minute, what can I do?" Eriri was also troubled by this. "At the beginning, I always think, how about drawing it this way? Or would it be better to draw it in a different way? Is there a better way to draw it? ... Before I know it, the deadline has arrived."

"So you just randomly pick one, right?"

"I'm much better now!" Eriri declared solemnly, "I can make decisions when I think about the deadline!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha bluntly exposed her plan, saying, "Then when the deadline comes, we'll overturn our previous decisions and start over."

“If you have a better idea, of course you should use it…” Eriri suddenly noticed Kasumigaoka Utaha’s gaze. “What are you looking at?”

"To see a hopeless procrastinator?"

"No, I'm not! There's still hope for me!"

"Then..." Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly leaned closer, "I was watching a daring madman who kissed me three times in one day."

"I..." Eriri's previously relaxed body immediately curled up defensively. "That was... a game... something children do..."

"Oh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to deny it?"

"But you, are you taking children's games seriously?"

"It's not impossible," Kasumigaoka Utaha said, trapping Eriri with her arms. "You can accept the punishment now, or I can wait until you're asleep and then..."

"mean!"

"I don't want to be talked about like that by someone like you who did that kind of thing to me in the middle of the night."

Which kind?

So, what's your choice?

"Gulp..." Eriri turned her head to the side, "Whatever."

"You said it yourself." Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head and gently kissed Eriri on the cheek.

Eriri trembled slightly upon feeling the touch on her cheek.

It seems... nothing much.

Eriri felt relieved.

It's just one...three kisses, right?

It's not a big deal.

Ran Kobayashi often kisses her.

Just as Eriri relaxed.

huh~~~

Kasumigaoka Utaha's warm breath brushed against her fair earlobe.

"You..." Eriri had barely uttered a word when she was kissed on the cheek again.

A lovely blush immediately appeared on her fair skin, and her face and ears turned red as well.

Eriri protested, "That's against the rules. You can't do anything unnecessary."

“Okay.” Kasumigaoka Utaha lightly lifted Eriri’s chin. “Then I’ll get right to it.”

"..." Eriri's azure eyes reflected Kasumigaoka Utaha's face as she drew closer.

Chapter 913 Everyone goes home

Eriri bristled, "You...you...what are you going to do?!"

“Punishment,” Kasumigaoka Utaha paused, “Weren’t you having a good time just now?”

"Who's happy!" Eriri twisted and struggled. "Besides, this is different from before!"

“Nothing’s different…” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s red eyes narrowed slightly. “Could it be that you’re expecting something different to happen?”
