In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

At first, Toka was a little embarrassed, but then Chiyo's body swayed several times as the train moved, and his forehead touched hers.

She went along with it, half-pushing and half-yielding, grabbing the hem of his clothes with both hands and pressing her forehead against his chest.

Like a young girl truly in love, she unconsciously becomes vulnerable, revealing her need for dependence.

Incidentally, she also secretly slowed her breathing, inwardly despising herself for being a woman with improper sexual conduct, while at the same time earnestly savoring the scent emanating from him.

Hiss hiss...

Although Shihua is responsible for doing laundry and collecting clothes at home, she sometimes secretly engages in similar behaviors in private.

But as all gentlemen know, there is a big difference between what you wear and what you simply present as clothing.

Putting everything else aside, just in terms of the sense of stimulation, the feeling they bring is completely different.

"Well, don't worry about it, I've arranged everything, just follow me."

"Hey, but Rikka did it at noon..."

"It's okay, there's still bread and fruit in the fridge, and plenty of snacks at home. If all else fails, there's always takeout. Just send her a message and tell her to grab something to eat. Actually, I've noticed that she's gained weight recently, her face is round and her calves are chubby. This is a good opportunity to help her lose some weight."

As Yuan Qianye said this, he once again quite naturally took Toka's hand.

His nonchalant attitude when talking about Rikka, coupled with his eagerness to make the next arrangements, is just like a husband who only wants to be sweet with his wife when going out for a trip, and doesn't care about the children at home.

"Achoo!"

Rikka, who was lying on her bed holding a Switch and lazily kicking her two fair little feet up and down, suddenly sneezed without warning.

She sniffed and touched her forehead, wondering to herself how strange it was.

I had no fever, no physical discomfort, no itchy throat, so why did I suddenly start sneezing?

Could it be that someone is talking badly about me behind my back?

Just thinking about it made her laugh carefree.

No, no, I'm so popular, everyone likes me, that kind of thing wouldn't happen. You can't believe in feudal superstitions.

Perhaps the room has been dusty for a few days since it was cleaned. I'll vacuum it up briefly later.

She continued playing the game.

While saving her file, she grabbed a few potato chips from the bedside table and popped them into her mouth, then took a big gulp of soda.

She let out a small burp without any regard for her image, reached up to lift her skirt and scratched her right buttock, which was covered by white cotton panties. Since no one was home and she was in her own room, she didn't bother with anything and just let the skirt hang there, half of it sticking out in the air, and chuckled as she continued to advance through the levels.

I'm so happy! I've finished my homework, so I have nothing to worry about. My sister isn't home either. I wish things could stay like this forever!

Chapter 190: Shihua, who feels guilty, (7000 words) (14/15)

The left-behind children were having a good time. After receiving Chiya's message, Rikka happily replied that she didn't need to worry, and at the same time, she was even happier.

I'll grab something to eat later, then cut myself some fruit, watch TV, and catch up on some shows. The living room's floor-to-ceiling windows are open, letting in a natural breeze. If I get sleepy, I can just curl up on the sofa and take a nap. This is simply the most enjoyable thing to do in early summer—it's more than just wonderful!

This life of stealing moments of leisure amidst a busy schedule is something even the gods would envy.

On the other side, Takanashi Touka was taken to a Western restaurant by Minamoto Chiya.

When Shihua saw that string of impressive-sounding French and English signs from the outside, she already had a premonition.

Once you actually step into it

A pleasant fragrance that is both distinct and elegant.

An elaborate crystal chandelier hangs from the high ceiling.

The walls are decorated with art books.

The dining table, covered with a white cloth, is adorned with delicate green plants.

The most flamboyant were the waiters; each one was dressed in a dark, sharp suit with shiny buttons and white gloves, giving the first impression of being a private butler in an aristocratic family.

Just as Shihua had expected, this was undoubtedly a very sophisticated and upscale restaurant.

Of course, in contrast, the prices of the dishes on the menu also appear quite "high-end".

A serving of Wagyu short rib costs 25,000 yen, grilled beef tongue costs 38,000 yen, lamb ribs cost 22,000 yen, filet mignon costs 31,000 yen, and grilled pigeon costs 28,000 yen...

Shihua glanced briefly at the menu handed to her by the waiter, remaining outwardly calm, but inwardly she was already trembling.

For nearly 30,000 yuan, she could buy more than ten pigeons at the supermarket, marinate and roast them at home, and have enough for the whole family to eat.

The prices of other dishes were also too much for her to bear. Some salads were priced at 8,880 yuan, which was just some lettuce with dressing and a few other toppings.

Forgive her for having such petty, narrow-minded thoughts at this moment, but it's really because the environment she grew up in makes her unable to understand this level of consumption, and she won't take it for granted just because Yuan Qianye is treating her.

Although she didn't consider his wealth as her own, her concern still made her feel sorry for Yuan Qianye's somewhat "wasteful" behavior, giving her the feeling of a thrifty housewife.

Shihua flipped through the menu until she saw the words "This restaurant will charge a service fee of 12% of the total bill" in the bottom right corner of a certain page. She completely lost the will to continue looking at it and just couldn't bring herself to order.

With a waiter standing nearby, she naturally didn't choose to say anything that would embarrass Yuan Qianye.

Good women know that they should preserve their man's dignity in public, and their partner's behavior is often an extension of the man's confidence and self-esteem.

Therefore, she simply said, "They all look delicious. I'm a little torn. Can you help me choose?"

Yuan Qianye smiled and agreed. He ordered a set meal for two directly from the waiter and instructed, "She prefers a lighter taste, so please put less black pepper, garlic, and other spices in her dish."

Shi Hua felt a warmth in her heart.

He remembers even the smallest habits he has in his diet.

"Okay, sirs, I'll place your order right away. Please wait a moment."

The waiter took the menu and left.

Only then did Shihua breathe a sigh of relief, and then said with a hint of heartache, "What are you thinking, bringing me to such an expensive restaurant?"

She deliberately lowered her voice when she spoke, keeping it at a level that only the two of them could hear.

Yuan Qianye maintained his usual faint smile, his hands crossed on the table: "It's because it's you, Toka, that I'm eating at such an expensive restaurant."

This statement seems to answer, yet it also seems to not answer.

Having carefully pondered the specific meaning behind it, Shika looked at her sworn brother's face, which seemed to exude charm at all times.

Looking over his shoulder, I saw several young ladies at another table in the restaurant staring at him with flirtatious expressions.

I don't know why...

My heart started racing again.

The waiter then brought the appetizers and drinks to the table.

Yuan Qianye picked up a wine glass and held it out towards her, clearly wanting to clink glasses: "Alright, my dear sister, the most important thing about our trip is to have fun, right? Don't worry too much about the cost. I've always wanted to experience the difference between a high-end restaurant and a regular one. Just consider it a compromise for my whims, and that you're here to keep me company."

"You should at least have told me in advance. I wasn't prepared at all..."

If I had known earlier, I could at least have changed into slightly more upscale clothes.

Instead of this casual combination of a fitted knit top and high-waisted wide-leg pants, which isn't formal at all, I clearly have some really pretty dresses...

Also, when coming to a place like this, you should at least bring Rikka along. If she finds out we came here and abandoned her when we get home, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause...

Toka thought to herself, but still cooperated by picking up her wine glass and lightly clinking it with Chiya's.

The drink went down her throat; it clearly contained no alcohol, yet Shihua's cheeks flushed crimson.

She looked at Yuan Qianye's smiling, doting eyes and suddenly realized what was happening.

Wait a moment……

Saying I was going out to choose a car for my mom today was just an excuse...

What they're doing right now, isn't that exactly what dating looks like?

The sudden appearance of clear mental prompts is not an illusion.

After a very elegant and ceremonial lunch.

It's 2 o'clock.

The sky was still bright, and the sunlight was still dazzling.

It was far too early to go home, so of course Yuan Qianye wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by.

Some past experiences proved to be effective at this time.

Using the excuse that he finally had some free time this weekend, Yuan Qianye persuaded Shika, who wanted to go straight home, after dinner, to continue pulling her wrist half-softly and half-hardly, and head to his next pre-planned location.

Located in the city center, a bustling commercial street is not far from the sea.

There are a lot of shops here, offering everything from clothing and food to entertainment.

We passed by a commercial aquarium, so I took her inside. We tried out a fish-catching game, bought a half-sized goldfish tank, and added some more ornamental fish. After paying, we filled out a form with our address, and someone will come to our door to install it.

We went to the arcade, played whack-a-mole together, experienced a VR game for two, and in a VIP room that required an extra fee, we called in a professional DM host to experience a murder mystery game with equipment specially designed for couples. We also experienced a haunted house that wasn't as scary as it seemed.

After that, when passing by a swimsuit store, Chiyo stopped again, a knowing smile on her face.

Using the excuse that "we're going to the beach next week," he wanted to go into the store to check it out and also satisfy some of his personal desires.

What? You already have a swimsuit, so you don't need to buy one separately?

But my swim trunks have been too small for a while now, so I still need to buy some. There's no time like the present, so I'll take care of it today and save myself the trouble of going out again later.

This is what Yuan Qianye said before entering the store, and his reasons were quite valid.

Shihua had no choice but to follow him inside.

Soon, the shop assistants surrounded her, offering enthusiastic service and sales pitches. With Chiyo's unintentional but helpful assistance, Toka eventually became overwhelmed and reluctantly chose a swimsuit.

It was quite surprising that it was a bold black, and the kind of style that can be secured at the neck by tying the top, which can accentuate the deep curves of the body.

It's a pity that Chiya didn't get to see Toka's swimsuit episode in advance.

But that's okay, that day will come soon.

The two of them strolled around like a couple until after 5 p.m. before returning home.
