"Yako knows a bakery that has delicious bread!"

Yue Ge was immediately infected by Yazi's enthusiasm, her eyes lit up, and she turned around and asked excitedly:

"Really? What kind of bread?"

Yazi raised her voice a little higher: "We have all kinds of bread! But the best ones are the chocolate snails from somewhere!"

"Then! Let's go quickly!" Yue Ge said.

Su Shi shook his head slightly and grumbled in a low voice:

"What about weight control?"

--------------

Inside the Yamabuki Bakery, the air is filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread, and the warm scent seems to dispel any fatigue.

There was a slight "sizzling" sound coming from the oven, along with the subtle swelling of the dough, and I could almost smell some fragrance through the oven.

Yamabuki Saya was wearing an apron, her fingers lightly floured, as she skillfully placed the dough on a baking tray.

Standing nearby, Yamabuki's father was kneading dough. He glanced at his busy daughter from the corner of his eye, his tone full of concern, his voice gentle yet tinged with a hint of worry:

"Saiya... haven't you been thinking about forming a band lately? Do you still have time to help?"

Sha Ling raised her head, a bright smile appeared on her face, she shook her head slightly, her eyes as clear as the spring sky.

"Yeah...it's okay. My usual practice is enough."

After saying that, she clapped her hands gently to shake off the flour on her hands, then lowered her head to continue kneading the dough.

Yamabuki's father put down the dough in his hand, walked over to Saaya, and patted her shoulder. His tone was full of care, and his brows were filled with the tenderness that only a father can show:

"Are you really okay? Don't be too tired..."

Upon hearing this, Sha Ling looked up at her father and smiled softly:

"Yeah! I will take care of myself. Dad and Mom are the ones who need to take care of themselves more, even though they were both hospitalized before."

When Yamabuki's father heard his daughter's words, he was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter, his laughter was hearty and warm:

"Hahaha, so Saaya really was a big help!"

"jingle--"

The small brass bell hanging at the door was gently awakened by the sound of the door being pushed open, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Yamabuki Saya and her father raised their heads at the same time, their gazes simultaneously directed towards the front desk.

Yamabuki's father paused while kneading the dough, a gentle smile on his face, and said in a relaxed yet trusting tone:

"Sha Ling, go out and greet the guests first, and leave the rest to me."

Sha Ling looked up and smiled at her father, with a hint of vitality and warmth in her clear eyes.

"Ok!"

She responded simply and quickly patted the flour off her hands. Her movements were neat and playful, like a girl.

She casually grabbed the towel beside her and carefully wiped the flour remaining between her fingers.

After making sure her hands were clean, she walked to the small door curtain leading to the front desk, lifted it slightly, and walked out briskly. The door curtain swayed slightly with her movements, leaving behind a faint scent of flour.

Standing at the front desk, Yamabuki Saya's expression instantly changed to a gentle and professional smile. Her voice was as clear as the first ray of morning sunshine, with a warm and friendly touch:

"welcome!"

Chapter 103: The Gourmet Who Is Not Lonely

"Welcome!" Yamabuki Saaya lifted the curtain and said enthusiastically to the visitor.

However, when she looked up at the customers at the door, the smile on her face froze slightly, and a brief look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

She blinked and blurted out subconsciously:

"Saya...senpai?"

Standing at the door was a girl with the same green hair and a cold temperament. Her eyebrows and eyes were surprisingly similar to Hikawa Sayo.

It's just—something's wrong.

The girl in front of her was much smaller than the Hikawa Sayo she knew. She had a slender figure and her temperament lacked some of the cold edge of Senior Sayo, instead having a light greenness and gentleness.

Sha Ling was slightly startled, but soon realized her misunderstanding. An embarrassed smile appeared on her face, and she was about to explain.

The girl at the door had already broken the brief awkwardness with a gentle smile.

"Hirokyou Sayo is my elder sister."

Sha Ling was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, the smile on her face bloomed again, and her tone was more familiar and enthusiastic:

"Ah, so she's Sayo-senpai's sister! They look so much alike, I almost made a mistake just now!"

She couldn't help but chuckle, and turned slightly to invite him in, her voice still gentle and bright:

"Come in, welcome to Yamabuki Bakery!"

----------------

Yue Ge blinked slightly, a hint of surprise rising in her heart. "I didn't expect Tokyo to be so small..."

She thought to herself, a faint smile playing on her lips. "I just came to buy a loaf of bread, and I actually ran into someone who knew Sister Saya."

But on second thought, this didn't seem too much of a coincidence. After all, one of his two older sisters was at Hanaoka Girls' Academy, and the other at Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy, both of which were famous schools nearby.

There were only a handful of girls' schools nearby, and the student community wasn't very large, so it seemed natural to run into someone who knew them.

"As for Tsukinomori, it's an aristocratic school after all, so probably no one would open a bakery outside of it." She added silently in her heart.

After thinking this through, Yue Ge shook his head and shook off the subtle emotion in his heart.

Gao Songdeng walked lightly to the shelf, and his footsteps echoed softly on the warm wooden floor.

Her eyes were quickly drawn to a piece of bread with a special shape - it was a five-pointed star-shaped bread, baked to a golden and crispy surface, with a slight caramel luster on the edges and a light touch of powdered sugar in the center.

Deng tilted his head slightly, and asked in a soft voice with a hint of uncertainty:

"This... is a star?"

Yamabuki Saya, who was standing nearby, smiled slightly after hearing this. She walked a few steps closer and introduced, "Well, this cream star bread is a new model in our store. It tastes very good."

After hearing Sha Ling's introduction, Yue Ge immediately collected the thoughts that were still lingering in his mind.

She blinked slightly and turned to look at the wide variety of bread on the shelf.

The air was filled with the warm aroma of baking, and the sweetness of cream and puff pastry intertwined together, like an invisible thread quietly hooking her nose and taste buds.

Her stomach had begun to protest without her noticing, and the faint "gurgling" sound seemed to be urging her to make a decision quickly.

Yue Ge pretended to be calm and cleared his throat, trying to cover up the sudden embarrassment. His eyes quickly scanned the pile of bread, preparing to carefully select a "choice of destiny" to fill his stomach.

However, just as she turned around to carefully study the types of bread, she caught a glimpse of Yazi who had already taken the lead, holding two chocolate snails high in her hands, with a smug smile on her face, and walking briskly towards the cashier.

Yue Ge was slightly startled, blinked, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

She couldn't help but stare at the chocolate snail in Yazi's hand. The surface was glowing with an alluring glimmer, and she seemed to be able to smell the faint aroma of cocoa intertwined with the burnt aroma of toast.

"Is this... really that delicious?"

She muttered silently in her heart, but her eyes were uncontrollably attracted.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to stop hesitating and follow Yazi's choice.

"Anyway, chocolate can't be that bad," she comforted herself.

When Yue Ge's hand just reached out to the shelf where the chocolate snails were placed, Hachiman Kailing beside her stopped and fixed her eyes precisely on another kind of bread - a pineapple bun with a golden and crispy crust and crisscrossed patterns on the surface.

She picked one up calmly, pressed it lightly with her fingers, and felt the soft and fluffy touch of the bread. She seemed to have long been accustomed to this simple and direct choice.

Ichinose Suyo came closer, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a hint of teasing in her tone, and said with a little curiosity:

"So this is what you like."

Hai Ling glanced at her calmly, her expression still calm, her tone neither hurried nor slow, as if she was stating a perfectly natural fact:

“Well, because it’s delicious and easy to eat.”

As she spoke, she gently patted the pineapple bun in her hand, as if this simple reason was enough to summarize everything.

Upon hearing this, Su Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was a bit joking:

"So, Hailing, you're a minimalist?"

There was no sarcasm in her tone, but rather a hint of mischief, like a casual little joke between friends.

However, Hai Ling did not answer directly. She just turned her head slightly and replied lightly, throwing the topic back:

"What did Sushi-san choose?"

Su Shi was stunned by the question, then looked down at what was in his hand - it was just an ordinary milk bun, with no special shape or fancy decoration, so plain and unpretentious that it would hardly attract attention.

Hai Ling glanced at him, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. Her tone remained calm, but with a hint of teasing:

"Isn't Sushi-san's choice also very ordinary?"

"Because regular bread is pretty good."

"Well……"

The conversation between Su Shi and Hai Ling did not produce any results, but it had a great impact on Yue Ge's choice.

Her hand, which had been firmly reaching for the chocolate snail, suddenly paused in mid-air, as if being pulled back by an invisible force. Her fingertips had almost touched the slightly shiny surface of the chocolate snail, but at the last moment, it stopped, hanging in the air in a stalemate.

Yue Ge's gaze slowly shifted from the chocolate snails to the golden, crispy, and lightly milky pineapple buns on the shelf nearby. Then, she glanced at the plain-looking yet soft and fluffy milk bread in Su Shi's hand. Her eyes shifted back and forth, her brows furrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously pursed into a straight line.

"As for the chocolate snail...it's sweet chocolate, and I should be very happy if I take a bite of it." She thought silently in her heart, her eyes unconsciously attracted by the slightly melted chocolate coating of the chocolate snail with an attractive luster.

But when she turned to look at the pineapple bun, her heart began to waver again.

"But Hailing said it was delicious, and the pineapple bun looks fluffy and crispy. It should make a crunching sound when you bite into it, right?"

Just as she was beginning to struggle between her conscience and her desires, the seemingly ordinary milk bread in Su Shi's hand quietly came into her sight again.

"What should I do... these look so delicious!" she cried desperately in her heart.

Finally, she took a deep breath, as if to make up her mind, and her eyes suddenly became firm - and then...

------------

I'll say it in the latest chapter. I miscalculated the time of ag and subconsciously counted it as being with Saya.

I've seen so much hostility between ykn and lan that I think they are from the same year.

Just think of it as Yuege's butterfly effect, which caused AG to be divided into classes in advance.

Chapter 104 No One Wants to Give Up

"Welcome back next time!" Yamabuki Saya waved goodbye to the Tsukuge group of five.

Looking at Yue Ge, who was holding a pile of bread and had a satisfied expression, Su Shi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a slightly helpless smile, with a hint of ridicule in his tone:

"So... you took all three?"

Yue Ge felt so vulnerable that an awkward smile appeared on her face. She scratched her head sheepishly, her fingertips twirling through her hair, trying to hide her inner guilt.

Those emerald green eyes were filled with self-righteousness, as if defending their choice:

"Well, in life, the most important thing is not to leave any regrets!"

She said this, but her hands unconsciously hugged her body tighter, as if she was afraid that Su Shi would reach out and take away her "trophy".

However, in her heart, she silently added a sentence. Her expression was still bright, but her inner confession was full of a kind of hypocritical cuteness:

"After all... no matter which one I choose, I'd be doing a disservice to the other breads."

She was worried that she would cry silently in her heart for every piece of bread that was left behind.

Hachiman Kailing stood aside, calmly taking a bite of the pineapple bun she had just bought, chewing it without changing her expression. Her tone was calm, yet she hit the nail on the head:

"Yue Ge, being too greedy is not good."

Yue Ge was choked by these words, and a brief daze appeared on her face, but then she returned to her bright smile, as if she didn't care about this comment at all.

She blinked her eyes, her tone soft and a little innocent, as if she was defending her "greed", but in fact, she made things worse:
