As night falls, neon lights flicker in the corners of the city, adding a touch of vibrancy to the quiet night.

Kitahara Makoto drove slowly toward a flower shop in the city center.

The flower shop is located on a bustling commercial street, surrounded by buildings of various styles.

Some are stone houses, while others are modern high-rise buildings with glass curtain walls; they all look particularly charming under the lights.

Soon after, Kitahara Makoto arrived at an elegant flower shop.

In front of the flower shop, soft lighting shines through the shop window onto the street, perfectly complementing the warm atmosphere inside.

The store's lighting is warm and soft, as if draping each flower in a gentle halo.

The flower shop offers a wide variety of colorful flowers, from vibrant roses to elegant lilies, and various delicate succulents—everything you could want.

Kitahara Makoto parked the car steadily in a roadside parking space. He took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions, then pushed open the door and walked into the flower shop.

The shop assistant was a young girl who was busy arranging bouquets on the shelves.

Upon seeing Kitahara Makoto enter, she immediately stopped what she was doing and greeted him with a smile.

"Good evening, sir. How can I help you?"

The shop assistant's voice was sweet and enthusiastic.

Good evening, I'd like to choose a bouquet of baby's breath.

Kitahara Shin responded with a smile, his gaze searching among the bouquets in the shop.

"Gypsophila, this way please."

The shop assistant warmly guided Kitahara Makoto towards the area displaying baby's breath.

"Look at these baby's breath flowers, they're all fresh from today."

Kitahara Makoto walked to the area where baby's breath was displayed and began to carefully select some.

He gently picked up a bunch of baby's breath, closed his eyes, and seemed to smell the faint fragrance on Mai Sakurajima.

He smiled and nodded, deciding that this was the bouquet.

"Sir, this bouquet of baby's breath is perfect for your girlfriend."

The shop assistant walked over with a smile, her eyes sparkling with friendliness.

"Yes, she really likes baby's breath."

Kitahara Shin responded with a smile, his face beaming with happiness.

"Would you like me to help you pack it?"

the clerk asked.

"Of course, thank you for your help."

Kitahara Shin handed the bouquet of baby's breath to the shop assistant, his gaze fixed on the bouquet, as if he could already see the joyful expression on Sakurajima Mai's face when she received it.

The shop assistant smiled as she took the bouquet and began skillfully wrapping it, saying as she did so:

"This bouquet of baby's breath is so beautiful, your girlfriend will love it."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Makoto's face lit up with an even happier smile. He imagined Sakurajima Mai's surprised expression when she received the bouquet, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

A short while later, the shop assistant handed the wrapped bouquet to Kitahara Makoto and informed him of the total price.

Kitahara Shin took out his credit card from his wallet and quickly completed the checkout.

He took the bouquet, sniffed it gently, as if he could already smell the faint fragrance of baby's breath.

Chapter 322 Reserve a Spot

Kitahara Makoto then turned and left the flower shop, returning to the parking lot.

He opened the car door and carefully placed the bouquet on the passenger seat, making sure it wouldn't be damaged.

Then, he got into the driver's seat and started the vehicle.

This time, his destination was an atmospheric restaurant. He remembered Mai Sakurajima mentioning this restaurant before, saying that the food was delicious, the environment was elegant, and it was a great place for a date.

Kitahara Makoto decided to reserve a spot there to give Sakurajima Mai a perfect Valentine's Day surprise.

He drove through the busy streets and soon arrived at the atmospheric restaurant.

The restaurant is located in a quiet alley, with soft lighting on the exterior walls, creating a romantic and warm atmosphere.

After parking his car, Yuan Zhen walked into the restaurant. The restaurant was tastefully decorated, with soft lighting and a faint fragrance in the air.

He went to the front desk and explained his purpose to the waiter.

"Hello, I would like to reserve a window seat."

Kitahara Makoto said with a smile.

The waiter smiled and nodded, then checked the reservation record and said:

"I'm very sorry, all the window seats are fully booked for tonight. However, we do have a quiet corner seat, is that alright with you?"

Kitahara Makoto thought about it for a moment and felt that the corner location was also good, (cecj) as it could create a more private and romantic atmosphere.

So he nodded and said:

"Then please reserve that corner seat."

The waiter quickly completed the reservation and handed Kitahara Makoto a reservation slip.

Kitahara Makoto took the pre-order, his heart filled with anticipation.

By the time Kitahara Makoto finished making reservations at the flower shop and restaurant, it was already 8 p.m.

He glanced at his watch, his face showing a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.

He knew that Mai Sakurajima's plane was about to arrive, and he had to go to the airport immediately to pick her up.

Kitahara Makoto quickly got back into his car and started the engine. He adjusted the rearview mirror to make sure everything was ready, then drove out of the parking lot.

Outside the car window, the streetlights gradually came on, casting a warm glow over the bustling city.

Couples strolled hand in hand along the streets, enjoying the beautiful night.

They whispered to each other or smiled at one another, their faces beaming with happiness.

Kitahara Makoto watched the couples, a warm feeling welling up inside him. He imagined reuniting with Sakurajima Mai, his heart filled with anticipation.

As the car drove along the road leading to the airport, the scenery along the roadside rushed past.

Kitahara gripped the steering wheel tightly, his gaze fixed firmly on the road ahead. His heart pounded, seemingly in sync with the car's speed.

People strolled hand in hand or embraced and kissed on the street, their laughter and sweet words echoing in the night sky.

Kitahara Makoto noticed a young couple kissing on the roadside; their figures looked especially sweet under the streetlights.

He couldn't help but think of his past with Mai Sakurajima; those wonderful times seemed like they happened just yesterday.

As the car passed through one traffic light after another, Kitahara Makoto's excitement grew.

He imagined Mai Sakurajima's surprised expression when she saw him, and the happiness she felt holding the bouquet of baby's breath.

A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips, as if he could already see that beautiful scene.

Finally, the car arrived at the airport. Kitahara Makoto parked the car in the parking lot and then quickly walked towards the airport terminal.

Chapter 323 It's both a holiday and a birthday!

He weaved through the bustling crowd, searching for Mai Sakurajima.

Finally, he spotted that familiar figure in the crowd—Sakurajima Mai was dragging her suitcase toward him.

Kitahara Shin excitedly went to greet her, opening his arms to give Sakurajima Mai a warm hug.

Mai Sakurajima smiled with delight upon seeing him, quickened her pace, and threw herself into Makoto Kitahara's arms.

"Mai, you're finally back!"

Kitahara Shin held Sakurajima Mai tightly, as if trying to meld her into his own body.

"Yeah, I'm back."

Mai Sakurajima's voice was choked with emotion.

"I miss you too."

Kitahara Makoto loosened his embrace, took the bouquet of baby's breath from the passenger seat, and handed it to Sakurajima Mai:

Happy Valentine's Day! This is a surprise for you.

Mai Sakurajima accepted the bouquet, her eyes sparkling with emotion. She looked at Makoto Kitahara, a happy smile spreading across her face.

"Thank you, Zhen. I really like it."

Mai Sakurajima nestled beside Makoto Kitahara, her long hair swaying gently in the breeze, like a night elf.

Her eyes sparkled like stars, exuding a coquettish charm that seemed to melt away all of Kitahara Makoto's defenses.

"Zhen, do you know what day it is today?"

Mai Sakurajima's voice carried a hint of mischief as she looked up slightly at Makoto Kitahara, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Kitahara Shin looked at her, a doting smile playing on his lips. He gently flicked Sakurajima Mai's nose and replied:

"Of course I know, today is Valentine's Day and also your birthday."

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima's face lit up with surprise. Her eyes widened as if she couldn't believe her ears.

She gripped Kitahara Makoto's arm tightly and shook it, saying:

"Really? You really remember my birthday?"

Kitahara Shin smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

He reached out and pulled Sakurajima Mai into his arms, whispering in her ear:

"Of course I remember. I will never forget any of your important dates."

Mai Sakurajima was moved by Makoto Kitahara's words, and tears welled up in her eyes.

·····Requesting flowers··········

She looked up at Kitahara Makoto, a happy smile spreading across her lips, and then asked coquettishly:

"Did you prepare any Valentine's Day gift or surprise for me? These flowers don't count, hehe."

Kitahara Makoto felt a warm current surge in his heart as he looked into Sakurajima Mai's expectant eyes.

He smiled and took a delicate little box out of his pocket, handing it to Mai Sakurajima.

"Of course, this is a necklace I carefully selected for you."

Kitahara Shin opened the box, inside was a diamond necklace that shimmered with a soft light. Its design was simple yet elegant, perfectly complementing Sakurajima Mai's gentle temperament.

When Mai Sakurajima saw the necklace, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She carefully took the box and examined the necklace closely.

The diamonds sparkled mesmerizingly under the lights, as if the entire night sky had been contained within this necklace.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Mai Sakurajima exclaimed in amazement, a happy smile spreading across her face.

She looked up at Kitahara Makoto, her eyes filled with gratitude and love.

"Thank you, Zhen. I really love this necklace."

As Mai Sakurajima spoke, she put the necklace around her neck.

The sparkle of the diamonds complemented her temperament perfectly, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

Looking at Mai Sakurajima's happy expression, Kitahara Makoto felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness in his heart as well.
