"I see... Actually, I've almost finished writing the new volume of my novel. Only some minor details need to be polished. If you're free these days, I'd like Qianye to help me see if there's anything missing."

"Sure, just send me the novel file and I'll get back to you after I've read it. But I'd like to make sure you understand that my level of expertise is definitely not as professional as your editor's, so my opinions are for reference only. Don't expect too much."

"It's okay. I just want to hear my fans' general opinions on the new volume. After all, with different perspectives, there might be areas that I, as the author and editor, haven't noticed and could use improvement."

"I understand."

Kasumigaoka's original idea was to find a time later for the two of them to have a one-on-one video chat to discuss the specific content of the new volume of the novel.

But since Yuan Qianye had already said that he would wait for him to read it on his own before contacting her, she didn't want to say anything more.

If you proactively ask for help from others and then deliberately ask for some additional conditions, it would be too self-righteous.

Kasumigaoka doesn't want to leave a bad impression of being tactless and inappropriate in the mind of the person she likes.

Anyway, it's fine like this now.

As long as the time Qianye and the piano girl spend together is reduced, the goal will be achieved.

Besides, there's only about a week left.

Just be patient and it will pass.

"I'm back!" The cute little Rikka reappeared on the screen: "Yukino, you're right, I have indeed heard that song. The moment the prelude sounded, I immediately thought, 'Ah, so that's it!'"

Yukino smiled at this, but since she was worried, the smile seemed a little forced.

But in the small window on the mobile phone screen, it is indeed difficult to see unless you look carefully.

After getting acquainted with the others and chatting about some trivial matters, Liuhua got to the point.

"By the way, Qianye, I've registered for you at school. However, just like Xueno, our school has also started online learning. We'll have to wait for further notice on when we can resume normal on-campus learning."

Not only Kawaii Junior High School, but in fact all schools in Tokyo have adopted this strategy.

Being able to not go to school is definitely good news for Rikka!

It saves time on commuting, gives you more time to be alone, and you no longer have to face the stern and cold expressions of teachers who are disappointed in you after you get bad test scores!

Is there anything happier than this?!

But some people are happy and some are sad.

For example, Eriri is a little homebody. It’s not true that she really likes going to school.

But meeting her childhood sweetheart at school is a completely different matter.

Now the school where the two of them could meet every day was closed. She wanted to cry but had no tears. She could only grieve silently in her heart and constantly comfort herself.

It doesn’t matter. I have time now. I can go to the Minamoto family and disturb them anytime under the pretext of looking for Rikka to play with.

Or she could always find some other reasons to invite Liuhua and ask her to bring Qianye to her house to play.

Oh, that’s right!

Thinking of this, Ying Lili suddenly remembered something: "Qian Ye, I suddenly remembered something. My father said that thanks to you, he made a lot of money in the stock market. He said that when you are free later, he wants to invite your whole family out for dinner."

Praise dad, now you have the reason!

Dad’s feet have been getting smellier and smellier lately, which is a bit disgusting and makes people want to stay away from him, but they can still come in handy at critical moments!

Xueno became more and more confused.

When did this guy get involved with stocks?

Yuan Qianye carefully searched through his memories and found that this seemed to be the case.

At that time, he went to visit Sawamura's house. Mr. Sawamura was watching a financial news program and took the initiative to bring up this topic to himself who was idle.

Seeing that he was interested, I said a few more words about my thoughts.

At that time, Mr. Sawamura seemed quite disapproving, but I didn't expect that he would listen to my advice and buy other stocks in the end?

Tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Sawamura, your behavior, which is quite inconsistent on the surface and behind the scenes, looks quite familiar, like deja vu.

I finally know who Eriri inherited her cute personality, which often puts her at a disadvantage in the end.

By the way, if Mrs. Sawamura's genetic power was stronger, would Eriri be in a completely different and more powerful form now?

Yuan Qianye was happily thinking about these things in his head. He temporarily stopped his cycling exercise and took a breath before answering, "I'm still in quarantine, so I may not be able to keep the appointment for the time being."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Ying Lili said quickly, "I told my father about your current situation. He said it's okay and that we can just pick a time when you're free, Qianye. He also said that if you or your family have any favorite restaurants, you can tell me in advance and he can make a reservation."

Logically speaking, even if the status of a diplomat is not particularly high, it is definitely not low.

He suddenly showed such enthusiasm. I guess Mr. Sawamura must have benefited a lot of money from the stocks this time, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy and humble.

Yuan Qianye nodded and agreed.

The older you get, the more you understand the importance of maintaining interpersonal relationships.

Of course, this refers to those interpersonal relationships that are beneficial to oneself.

What a thief, a gambler, a gambler, a rotten crotch...

And in the two-choice audition before the symphony orchestra competition, he finally voted for a competitor who showed up out of nowhere instead of the minister who had supported him all the way to where he is today. This so-called friend said he was doing it for the greater good but actually stabbed him in the back at the critical moment.

Please stay away from these things. Don’t even look at them, let alone get close to them, as they will contaminate you.

Next, we briefly talked about some other topics.

Ten minutes later, everyone said goodbye to each other and hung up the group video chat.

Yuan Qianye got off the exercise bike and after resting for a while, he came to the biceps trainer.

I just finished training my lower body, and now I want to make up for the missed exercise of my upper body.

He adjusted the machine and was about to start when Kazusa walked in.

Seeing Yuan Qianye staring at her curiously, she was timid for a moment, but quickly adjusted herself, put her hands on her hips, and said impatiently: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just a simple feeling of freshness."

At this moment, Kazusa suddenly appeared in the gym, wearing a loose long-sleeved sports top with a high collar designed for breathability.

The lower body is a pair of nine-point milky nude pants. As the name suggests, this type of pants has high elasticity and is quite close-fitting, which perfectly shows the long and straight curves of Hesha's legs.

"My mother wanted to get me to exercise with her at that time, so she bought me a few sets of sportswear... Does it look weird what I'm wearing?" Hesa's voice became weaker. Once she left the familiar area of music, she always became unconfident easily.

Yuan Qianye hurriedly shook his head: "How could that be? It suits you very well."

He could tell at a glance that Hesha was as interested as he was and also wanted to experience the pleasure brought by the secretion of dopamine during fitness.

Exercising with someone who is a beautiful girl is both pleasing to the eyes and helps you relax. Why not do it?

So, as a man, he had been in contact with these fitness equipment for several days and thought he had a basic understanding of them, so he took the initiative and began to recommend to Kazusa several pieces of equipment that even a novice could quickly get started with.

It's not very elegant to ride an exercise bike while sticking your butt out.

The yoga ball is unclear.

The seated shoulder press looks too difficult.

Hesha finally chose a treadmill suitable for men, women, young and old.

Under Yuan Qianye's guidance, he carefully held the handrails on both sides, waiting for the treadmill track to slowly turn and for her to walk slowly on it until she got familiar with it.

Yuan Qianye adjusted the gear a little faster for her, and Hesha went from walking slowly to walking fast.

"It's okay to adjust it faster." After a while, Hesha got familiar with it and felt that it was just like that, and her confidence was overflowing.

"You haven't even warmed up yet. It's best if you just keep walking like this for a while."

Yuan Qianye's persuasion had some effect, but not much.

Hesha nodded, but after just a dozen seconds, she pressed the acceleration button herself.

The feedback from the first stage of acceleration was not obvious, so she simply pressed the button seven or eight times in a row.

Just as Yuan Qianye was about to speak out a warning, an accident happened.

With Hesha's ignorant operation, the treadmill instantly generated an acceleration force that she could not adapt to.

She became flustered in an instant, and the next moment she was so slow to react that her back foot stepped on empty air.

Fortunately, Yuan Qianye was standing by her side the whole time. He stretched out one arm to catch her, and immediately reached out with the other hand to hold her firmly in his arms.

"Buzz--" The treadmill's automatic protection function could not sense the weight of the human body and slowly stopped working.

Hesha's head was a little dizzy. She could feel Yuan Qianye's big hands, one on the back of her waist and the other pressing hard on half of her butt.

She was held straight in his arms, their bodies pressed tightly together, and his face was pressed against the sensitive area just below her chest.

Fortunately, this shameful situation did not last long.

Yuan Qianye quickly put her down: "This is the price of not listening to advice. I was lucky enough to catch you just now, otherwise your butt would have been broken in two."

Hesha really wanted to refute him by saying that the buttocks are meant to be spread apart, but the warmth from his tight embrace just now still remained, flowing through her limbs in waves.

Her thoughts were boiling and roaring. She looked up and found that he was not angry at all, but was just looking at her with a smile.

After a very brief eye contact, she retreated in panic.

"I see...thank you for just now."

"You're welcome. Just be careful down there and take it slow..."

People can't teach others, but things can be taught by others.

This time Hesha was well behaved and no longer willful.

Just as Yuan Qianye instructed her, proceed step by step.

Seeing that she could play by herself, Yuan Qianye felt relieved and went to the side to train his upper body muscles.

Hesha was wearing a sports bra underneath, and the big slime was wrapped tightly, but it still couldn't completely change the influence of gravity, and there was still some shaking movement.

Will he peek at me?

Once such a thought appears, it can never go away.

After much hesitation, he finally chose to secretly glance at Yuan Qianye.

Well, he wasn't even looking at himself, breathing heavily, sweat on his forehead, he was completely concentrating on exercising his muscles.

Besides being thankful... I feel more disappointed and ashamed.

So after staring at him a few more times, the situation changed unconsciously.

Looking at Yuan Qianye's strong body displayed by his constantly contracting movements, Hesha gradually felt a little dry in the mouth and hot in the heart, as if on fire.

Some people can't help but take a quick glance occasionally.

If she continued running, she could actually run for a while longer, as Hesha's physical strength was not bad.

But she still chose to stop the treadmill, pretending to be out of breath and resting on the side.

By the way...it was natural for him to cast his gaze on Yuan Qianye.

It is true that moderate fitness can attract the opposite sex. Physical beauty is not just a privilege for women to attract men, the same is true in reverse.

Men with obvious abdominal muscles, strong thighs and arms, who can give people a strong sense of security, are naturally more likely to be favored by women than their fat or thin counterparts.

Not to mention, Hesha is obsessed with looks.

In addition to her good looks, her beautiful figure can also easily touch her inner sweet spot.

Even though she herself doesn't know it.

After that, the two chatted idly and practiced for more than 40 minutes.

Before dinner, the two of them went to take a shower separately.

We had sukiyaki for dinner. The texture of the beef slices was like snowflakes and frost, and it was obviously high-quality.

The vegetables are also very fresh, all with pesticide-free safety inspection labels, and ice packs are specially provided when they are delivered to keep them fresh.

Of course, the food sent by the neighborhood community would not be so luxurious. This was the result of Touma Yoko's return to China.

She learned from the phone that her daughter had complaints about the food during the quarantine, so she used her financial resources to have the community staff increase the variety of meat and quality of vegetables they received every day to the highest level.
