I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

"This curry rice looks delicious, and it smells amazing."

"Of course, I did a lot of research."

"Would you like to eat first?"

Yuan Chuanyou looked at her gently, gesturing for her to start eating.

Mai Sakurajima gently shook her head and said with a smile.

"You go first. I've actually eaten this once before, so I'll just eat Yu-kun's leftovers."

As she spoke, a playful smile appeared on her lips.

"OK then."

Yu Minakawa didn't mind much. Regardless of who ate whose leftovers, it was a way of expressing intimacy. She also often ate Akane Kurokawa's leftovers.

Wasabi was deliberately cleaning the table nearby when she overheard this conversation.

Yu...Yu-kun? !

Wasabi's heart skipped a beat, and her suspicions were instantly confirmed.

Is it really Genkawa Yuusan?

Xiao Shanhao became more and more excited as she thought about it, and couldn't wait to take out her phone and share the news with her friends. But then she thought about it again and fell into a dilemma.

This is Mai Sakurajima and Yu Genkawa's private trip.

She was just an ordinary fan, not a reporter.

Should I really tell others? What if it causes trouble?

Just as the girl was caught in a dilemma, Yuan Chuanyu, who was not far away, glanced at Xiao Shanhao's face and then smiled.

"It seems she has already recognized me."

"After all, who else could be the man who would make me eat leftovers?"

Aren't you worried?

"Are you worried?"

"Of course I'm not worried."

Yu Genkawa is no longer the young actor who just debuted.

Today, he is a top-tier actor who won the Best Actor award at the Tokyo Film Academy Awards, and also the founder of the large entertainment company [Star Engine], wielding substantial capital.

On the other hand, he was also a highly acclaimed literary figure with a large following and exceptional talent.

Even if another scandal breaks out, it won't have any impact.

Mai Sakurajima is the same; her popularity is already very stable, and she has now established her own agency, "Sakura no Umi." She has also invested in many film projects, making her a semi-capitalist.

Neither of them are purely actors or idols anymore; they both have enough ability and confidence to control their own lives.

While Wasabi was struggling with her decision, the two finished their lunch.

Genkawa Yu put down his chopsticks, picked up a tissue from the table, gently wiped his mouth, and smiled at Sakurajima Mai.

"I'll go pay the bill."

"it is good."

Genkawa Yu walked to the cashier, where Wasabi was standing and sorting out the bills. When she saw him coming, she immediately forced a polite smile, but she couldn't hide her nervousness.

Actually, Yuanchuan You had already taken off his mask while eating. Xiaoshanhui glanced at it from afar, and the answer was already revealed.

"Please settle the bill, thank you."

Genkawa Yu spoke gently, a faint smile on his face.

Wasabi quickly snapped out of her daze, picked up the bill, quickly calculated it, and said somewhat nervously.

"The total is 6800 yen. Thank you for your help."

After paying, Wasabi knew the other person was about to leave, so she mustered up her courage and asked.

"Um, you're actually Yuu-san from Genkawa, right?"

"how?"

Genkawa Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl in front of him.

"It's nothing, please don't worry, I won't tell anyone about you having dinner with Sakurajima-san!"

Seeing her serious expression, Genkawa Yu's face revealed a gentle smile.

"Thank you for your understanding, but you can still tell others."

"Huh?"

Wasabi was slightly taken aback, quite surprised by the answer.

"Goodbye, your food was delicious, I'll definitely come back next time I have the chance."

"Th...thank you."

Genkawa Yu nodded and turned to walk to Sakurajima Mai's side.

"Let's go shopping to digest our food."

"Okay."

Mai Sakurajima smiled and nodded, letting Yu Genkawa take her hand as they walked out of the shop together.

Watching the two figures walk away side by side, Wasabi stood at the door for a long time without moving.

Today's encounter is a special gift.

The girl's wish was simple, but the smile on her face was very sincere.

"Be happy... Sakurajima-san."

Genkawa Yu held Sakurajima Mai's hand, and at that moment, the snow seemed to be falling harder.

However, the atmosphere on the street was even more lively than before. In the afternoon, all the Christmas lights on both sides of the street were lit up, and the colorful lights, like stars, covered the city with a layer of colorful makeup.

The two did not deliberately speed up their pace, but strolled leisurely through the streets.

Unlike Tokyo, in Hokkaido, even after walking for more than an hour, Genkawa Yu still didn't find a single reporter, which made him feel very relaxed.

"Yu-kun, do you think this is pretty?"

Mai Sakurajima would occasionally try it out when she passed by some shops.

"It seems alright, should we buy it?"

"Does this color suit me, Yu-kun?"

"Uh, I think they both suit me well."

"Why are you being so perfunctory!"

"Because people are good-looking, they look good in anything."

"Humph."

The two strolled through one small shop after another, occasionally stopping to buy a local specialty snack to share.

As she watched the snowflakes fall and felt the romantic atmosphere of Christmas Eve, Mai Sakurajima would occasionally look up at Yuu Genkawa's profile, a deep affection welling up in her heart.

Before we knew it, the sun was gradually setting in the west, the sky was getting dark, and the night view of Hakodate was slowly unveiled.

"Mai, it's getting late, let's go back to the hotel."

"Yes, it's better to see the night view from the mountain."

Mai Sakurajima booked a hotel on Mount Hakodate, which has an excellent location. Because it was her birthday today, the girl booked the top-floor deluxe suite in advance.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of Hakodate's nightscape, making it the best spot to enjoy the city's night view.

Upon entering the room, Genkawa Yu gazed into the distance and was immediately struck by the breathtaking night view.

Looking down from Mount Hakodate, the entire city is illuminated by thousands of lights, with warm yellow and silvery-white light bands interwoven to outline the contours of the streets.

The city nestles between two bays, as if it were enveloped by two oceans.

From the lights of ships to the neon lights on the shore, everything gleamed in the night, while the hazy outlines of distant mountains contrasted sharply with the city's brilliance.

Is this the world's best night view?

She truly lived up to her reputation; her beauty was so captivating that it was impossible to look away.

"This is the most beautiful night view I've ever seen, Mai."

"As long as Yu-kun is happy."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Genkawa Yu easily released Sakurajima Mai and said with a smile.

"The cake I ordered in advance should have arrived. Wait a moment, I'll go open the door."

"it is good."

Sakurajima Mai was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the night view outside. Actually, her birthday was not a big deal for her. The important thing was that she could be alone with Genkawa Yu.

The moment she had been waiting for was about to arrive, and the girl's heart began to race.

After arranging the cake, Genkawa Yu smiled, lit the candles, and said gently.

"Mai, make a wish."

Mai Sakurajima nodded gently, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish in her heart.

After about a minute, the girl slowly opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and blew out the candle.

Happy birthday, Mai.

"Thank you, Yu-kun."
