Anime, but you can win a prize by confessing your love

——'It's obvious that Kita must have safety pants. I'm just curious about the color of her safety pants...'

——'Don't quibble! Humph, Ye-kun, you don't want Pochi-chan and Liang to know about this, right? Then...'

——'Wait, why is there Liang?'

Within a few breaths, Hong Xia and Ye Mu exchanged several words with their eye contact, which left little Pochi on the side stunned.

"Ye Jun, please come here for a moment~"

At this time, PA-chan's words successfully resolved the confrontation between him and Hongxia.

"Okay, here we go."

Looking at the backs of Ye Mu and the older sister with long black hair, Hong Xia rubbed her chin suspiciously.

"Pochi-chan, do you feel that PA and Ye-kun have been getting close recently?"

"Ah, yes, but it's probably work-related. PA was recently live-streaming a game and seemed to be asking for advice on the levels."

Silly little Pochi touched his head and said uncertainly.

"Well, I'll go check out the situation. Pochi-chan, you should also be careful. It's not good to indulge your boyfriend too much."

The pink-haired girl showed a weak smile, which made Hong Xia shake her head.

Forget it, just leave this task to me.

Goal - to supervise Ye Jun and prevent him from being unfaithful!

Chapter 167: The lovely girl can be forgiven no matter what she does

There is no doubt about Hong Xia's ability to take action. Ever since she made up her mind that day to "supervise Ye Jun on behalf of Pochi-chan!", whenever she has time, she will take the initiative to chat with Ye Mu and even make appointments to go out for dessert together.

All of this is to get some information out of Ye Jun to see if he has changed his mind!

Yes, that's definitely true, Pochi-chan.

Although she said this, even she herself was confused about her true thoughts and was also very nervous.

As for Ye Mu, he didn't understand what was going on at first. He thought Hong Xia was going to pull him out as a scapegoat for everyone, so he was a little panicked. But later he realized that this was not the case, and gradually got used to it.

Well, after all, Hongxia's mother is first-rate at taking care of people and she's so cute. Even if we can't kiss and hug like boyfriend and girlfriend, we still feel very comfortable when we're together.

After spending a long time together, Hong Xia seemed to gradually open up her heart to him, and seemed to have found again the intimacy they had when they were in the same room in the hot spring hotel. She would also share many of her girlish thoughts with Ye Mu.

"My sister's 30th birthday is coming up soon, and I don't know what to give her. After all, I've already given her several stuffed toys."

"Puchi, it's such a contrast to think that the store manager who hates everyone needs to hug a stuffed toy to fall asleep..."

"Don't talk about me like that, sister. Come with me to the mall tomorrow and find something to give to me. You are not allowed to refuse~"

Hongxia raised her fist in a cute threat.

The memories ended. The next afternoon, Ye Mu, who was waiting at the entrance of Shimokitazawa tram station, was attracted by the girl who was jogging towards him.

"I'm sorry, I'm a few minutes late because of my sister. I hope Ye Jun doesn't mind."

Hong Xia wiped the sweat from her head gently, and when she was a few steps away from Ye Mu, she slowed down her pace with dignity and used her free hands to tidy up her hair.

"It's okay. A lovely girl can be forgiven no matter what she does."

Ye Mu looked at Hong Xia and answered with a smile.

The fiery red scarf wrapped around the girl's mouth, and her small nose was mostly covered. Paired with a tweed top, she looked quite warm. However, even in mid-December, Hongxia was still wearing a short skirt like most Japanese girls, and it was not known whether the thin black tights could provide warmth.

"Hehe, Ye-kun's level of sweet talk is quite high. No wonder Liang and Pochi-chan are fascinated by you."

Hong Xia complained, glanced at Ye Mu, then took a few steps forward, stood on tiptoes, and naturally adjusted his scarf for him.

"Really? A boy this big doesn't even bother to look in the mirror before going out. His scarf is so messed up, it's definitely not going to keep him warm..."

Her somewhat cold little hands occasionally touched Ye Mu's neck, but strangely, instead of feeling cold, it felt a little itchy.

Looking at Hong Xia's focused red eyes, Ye Mu was slightly distracted.

After getting dressed, the two boarded the train and headed to Ikebukuro to pick out two suitable gifts for the store manager.

After getting on the tram, the two were really scared by the crowded and stuffy state of sardines in a can, but there was no way, they had to taste the specialties of Japan.

"It's the same on weekends, plus going to Ikebukuro, and then a few more trips."

Hongxia looked at the office workers huddled together inside, and the bald uncle said helplessly.

But how could Hong Xia be pushed around?

After squeezing in with gritted teeth, Ye Mu used his strength to push through the crowd, pulled Hong Xia to the corner at the back of the carriage, and then held her in his arms using the wall-dong technique.

During this time, Hong Xia looked normal. It was only when the train started moving and their bodies were almost touching that she spoke softly:

"Ye-kun is really cunning. Pochi-chan must have fallen after being protected like this time and time again."

The tram gradually accelerated, and the crowd pressed against Ye Mu's back, causing Hong Xia's chin to almost touch Ye Mu's chest.

"Yes, but no," Ye Mu answered seriously after thinking for a moment, resisting the pressure from behind, "It is true that this is the reason why Yili fell in love with me, but I didn't do it on purpose. I just felt that it was hard for such a cute and introverted child to squeeze into the tram, so I subconsciously had the desire to protect him."

"Oh, that's taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

Hongxia deliberately provoked, but then she realized that she had said something wrong and covered her mouth with her hands.

Hongxia, ah Hongxia, why do I feel sour when I discuss this with Ye Jun? You are a gentle and considerate girl!

After asking herself this question, Hong Xia clasped her hands together and apologized softly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I have no ill intentions, I just... envy the relationship between you two so much."

This was a lie. She actually knew very well that what she envied was not the relationship, but little Pochi.

After spending a long time together, Ye Mu gradually became aware of some of Hong Xia's little characteristics - for example, he could tell what she was thinking at the moment from the shape of her ahoge.

It was swaying and rocking back and forth. If nothing unexpected happened, Hong Xia must be lying.

He made a judgment, but Ye Mu did not ask any further questions. Since Hong Xia didn't want to say, maybe she had her own reasons.

"Hongxia."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

When Hong Xia heard Ye Mu calling her name seriously, her heart trembled suddenly and she became nervous.

"There's dirt on your face..."

As Ye Mu spoke, he stretched out a hand and slowly moved it towards Hong Xia's cheek.

"Eh eh eh?"

The feeling of being touched came, and suddenly, Ye Mu's serious face turned into a sly smile, and he stretched out his hand and began to rub Hong Xia's face unscrupulously.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry Hongxia, your rosy little face is so cute, and it feels so soft and elastic... Ouch~"

The heavy emotional topics were forgotten during their playfulness, but what neither of them noticed was that their actions became more and more intimate without them noticing, gradually breaking the boundaries of friends and developing in the direction of a couple.

Ikebukuro is full of fashion and trends, and is the perfect place for young people to date and shop.

As you exit the tram station, you're greeted by bustling crowds and noise, and your eyes are filled with exaggerated giant billboards.

Ye Mu pressed down his scarf with his hands, sniffed the air twice deliberately, and then said seriously to the girl beside him:

"Hongxia is the flavor of fashion trends, and it is not suitable for women in their 30s."

"Be careful or your sister will kick you when she hears this. She hates being teased about her age."

"But aren't there just two of us here?"

"Oh," Hong Xia turned her head and asked with interest, "Ye Jun deliberately emphasized this matter. Could it be that he wanted me to find fault with you? For example, 'Ye Jun, you don't want the store manager to know about this, right?'"

"…Forget it, let's go shopping."

Chapter 168: The moment of decision, Hong Xia joins the Shura Field!

Unfortunately, after walking around the mall for a whole morning, the two still didn't find a suitable gift. In desperation, they had to find a restaurant to have lunch and continue looking in the afternoon.

"Oh, that's expensive. I'll just have a beef rice bowl."

Hong Xia put down the menu with a frown on her face, and couldn't help being shocked by the prices here.

This price is indeed too expensive for a high school student. Although Hongxia has a lot of money, she doesn't want to spend it recklessly because the gift has not been decided.

"Forget it, I'll treat you at noon today. You still have to buy a gift for your sister, so..."

"No, Mr. Ye, I will treat you in return for accompanying me shopping. This is the reward I proposed."

Hong Xia interrupted Ye Mu, and her gentle yet stubborn character was perfectly displayed at this moment.

"Then I want beef rice too."

He had no choice but to order the cheapest set meal to relieve Hongxia's pressure.

Seeing this, Hong Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt guilty for not entertaining Ye Mulai well.

"I'm sorry that you spent the whole day with me shopping but didn't get a good meal."

How is that possible? Going shopping with a beautiful girl is such a wonderful thing. Not only is it not tiring at all, but it also brings a sense of happiness of being cared for and healed!

After carefully reviewing this morning, Hong Xia included but was not limited to helping Ye Mu tidy up his scarf, occasionally feeding him snacks, lending him tissues, etc. Basically, she would take the initiative to take Ye Mu to rest after only half an hour of strolling.

Oh my God, this doesn't look like a girl two years younger than him, she's clearly an angel, mom!

"It doesn't matter. I'm happy as long as I'm with Hong Xia."

"Eh?"

Hong Xia was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away shyly, not daring to look directly into Ye Mu's eyes.

"Stupid, stupid, what are you talking about? You have a girlfriend..."

After saying this, Hong Xia realized something she had forgotten recently - her original purpose of getting close to Ye Mu was to supervise him on behalf of Xiao Bochi!

How come after so much supervision, the two of them now look more like a couple on a date?

Then what is she? On the one hand, she despised Ye Mu's behavior of opening a harem, but on the other hand, she stayed by his side because of her own selfish desires.

This was also the first time that Hong Xia truly broke away from the ambiguous atmosphere and thought about the possibilities of her own future and Ye Mu.

Meeting in that small park, saving the day, performing, experiencing rules and strange stories in a magical dream, training together, and taking a hot spring bath...

Past experiences were like raindrops falling, causing ripples in Hong Xia's heart.

Once this thought came to mind, it was out of control. Thinking about it this way, their actions these days seemed to be getting closer and closer to being a couple...

Hong Xia's thoughts kept echoing in her mind as she ate her meal carelessly. It was not until she was choosing a gift that her wandering brain became a little clearer.

"How about this massager? The manager is getting old, and it's time to pay attention to protecting his lumbar spine... Hongxia, Hongxia?"

It was not until Ye Mu waved his hand in front of her that Hong Xia reacted and responded hurriedly.

"Ah? Oh, oh, that's what I thought. Let's pay the bill then!"

Seeing the girl pretending to be energetic, Ye Mu couldn't help but shake his head. This was the fourth time she had been distracted in the afternoon, so he decided to end today's schedule early.

"Hongxia, I'll find time to choose the gift for the manager. I think you need to take a good rest now."

After paying the bill, Ye Mu said to the dazed girl.

"But……"

"It's okay. Hasn't the most important task for today been completed?"

Ye Mu pointed at the bag she was holding, and Hong Xia was suddenly speechless.

Yes, in this state, anyone can see it.

She lowered her eyelids, looked at the ground, and spoke after a while.

"Sorry, Mr. Ye... Actually, I..."

She hesitated and still couldn't give a reason.

Seeing this, Ye Mu smiled with relief, took a step forward and gently hugged the girl.

"I know, I guess Hong Xia is standing at a crossroads right now...

It doesn't matter, no matter what choice it is, I will respect and understand it, and as I promised at the time, the end of the band will not be affected by it in any way.

So make your choice without worrying about it.”

The girl snuggled in his arms, slightly dazed.
