The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and every couple held hands, their faces beaming with happiness.

They strolled through the streets or huddled outside a corner café, savoring the sweetness of this special night.

Occasionally, a gentle breeze blows by, carrying the faint fragrance of flowers from a distant flower shop, making one feel intoxicated by it.

The atmosphere inside the car was also affected by the scenery outside the window, and both Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai had happy smiles on their faces.

They exchanged glances from time to time, as if they could read each other's hearts.

As the car sped along, the scenery outside the window kept changing, but every scene was filled with romance and warmth.

Soon, the car slowly drove into a quaint neighborhood, where the sign for Starry Night Tavern 507 shone brightly in the night.

The tavern has a rustic and elegant exterior, like a secret garden hidden in the city.

Several pots of blooming flowers were placed at the entrance, emitting a faint fragrance, adding a touch of life and vitality to the entire tavern.

Kitahara Makoto parked the car steadily in front of the bar, and he and Sakurajima Mai got out of the car together.

The two stood at the entrance of the tavern, looking up at the starry sky, as if they could feel each other's heartbeats.

They walked hand in hand into the tavern, looking forward to the fun that was about to begin.

Inside the Starlight Tavern, warm yellow lights illuminated every corner.

Chapter 331 Mai and Haruko's First Meeting

Upon entering the Starlight Tavern, Kitahara Shin and Sakurajima Mai were immediately drawn to the lively scene before them.

The tavern was packed with people, the atmosphere lively and cheerful. At the bar, guests were either raising their glasses to drink or laughing and chatting, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

In the dim light, several couples embraced and kissed passionately in a corner, adding a touch of romance and warmth to this Valentine's Day.

They looked around, searching for a suitable place to sit.

At that moment, a woman dressed in business attire and smiling walked towards them.

Kitahara Makoto recognized her at a glance and introduced her to Sakurajima Mai with a smile:

"Honey, this is Haruko, the manager of the Starlight Tavern."

Haruko walked up to the two of them and warmly extended her hand to shake hands with Mai Sakurajima:

"Hello, I'm Haruko. It's nice to meet Kitahara Makoto's friend."

Her voice was gentle and kind, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

Mai Sakurajima responded with a smile:

"Hello, Haruko. I'm Mai Sakurajima, nice to meet you."

She looked Haruko up and down and found that she was not only beautiful, but also had an elegant demeanor that gave people a very comfortable feeling.

Seeing that the two already knew each other, Haruko warmly invited them to sit down at the bar:

"It's too crowded here. Let me take you to the bar area; it's more spacious there."

Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai nodded and followed Haruko to the bar.

Haruko arranged a comfortable spot for them and personally prepared two special cocktails for them.

"This is my own 'Starry Love' drink, I hope you will like it."

Haruko handed the wine glasses to the two of them and said with a smile.

Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai took the wine glasses, gently touched the rims together, and then each took a sip.

The wine, upon tasting, carries a subtle fruity aroma and a slightly intoxicating alcoholic flavor, making it truly delightful.

"Haruko, your cooking is really good," Mai Sakurajima exclaimed sincerely.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Haruko smiled modestly.

"If you like, I can teach you how to adjust it."

Mai Sakurajima and Haruko quickly became acquainted, and the two sat at the bar, enjoying their drinks and chatting.

Mai Sakurajima spoke first, looking at Haruko with curiosity in her eyes:

"Haruko, how did you come up with the idea to open this bar? It's really special."

Haruko answered with a smile, her eyes sparkling:

"Actually, I've always had a dream, which is to open my own bar."

"I enjoy mixing all kinds of fine drinks, and I also enjoy seeing my guests enjoying their time here."

"The name of the Starry Night Tavern is meant to reflect the hope that every guest can find their own star here."

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Haruko:

"You're a dreamer. The tavern's decor and atmosphere are very distinctive; you've clearly put a lot of thought into it."

Haruko waved her hand modestly:

"Not at all, it's all thanks to everyone's hard work. But seeing that our guests enjoy the place makes me very happy."

Mai Sakurajima held her wine glass, gently swirling it as she watched the red wine rotate within, then took a small sip.

"Hmm, the flavor is very rich, not bad."

Haruko smiled happily when she saw that Sakurajima Mai liked it.

"I'm glad you like it. By the way, are you and Kitahara Makoto here to celebrate Valentine's Day today?"

Mai Sakurajima nodded, a happy smile spreading across her face:

"Yes, today is Valentine's Day. I'm so happy to meet you here."

Chapter 332 Let's have some red wine to set the mood

After a pleasant and romantic Valentine's Day at the Starry Night Tavern, Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai decided to leave and return to their cozy seaside villa.

Night had fallen, and the stars twinkled in the sky, as if guiding the lovers home.

After leaving the Starlight Tavern, Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai walked together toward the car parked by the roadside.

Kitahara Shin gentlemanly opened the car door for Sakurajima Mai, and only after she was settled did he walk around to the other side and get into the driver's seat.

The night was deep, and the moonlight cast long shadows of the two people.

Kitahara Makoto started the car, and with the roar of the engine, the car slowly drove away from the bar, heading towards home.

The scenery outside the car window became blurred in the night, with only streetlights and distant twinkling lights illuminating the road ahead.

Kitahara 507 drove his car at a moderate speed on the empty road, just enough to make people feel the tranquility and comfort of the night.

Mai Sakurajima, sitting in the passenger seat, leaned back gently, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of the moment.

The car soon entered the villa area, and the trees on both sides of the road swayed gently in the night breeze, making a rustling sound.

Kitahara slowed down and steadily parked the car in front of the villa.

He turned off the engine, unbuckled his seatbelt, and turned to look at Mai Sakurajima.

She had already opened her eyes and was looking at him with expectant eyes.

Kitahara Shin smiled slightly and extended his arm:

"Come on, let's go home."

Mai Sakurajima snapped out of her reverie, smiled slightly, and replied:

"Hmm, it feels like we've returned to our little world."

The two walked side by side toward the villa's entrance. Kitahara Makoto took out a key from his pocket, skillfully inserted it into the lock, and with a gentle twist, the door clicked open.

He pushed open the door, holding onto the doorframe with one hand and gesturing "please" with the other, letting Sakurajima Mai go in first.

Mai Sakurajima stepped into the house, and a familiar and warm atmosphere enveloped her. She looked around and saw that everything inside was in good order, cozy and comfortable.

She took off her shoes and walked barefoot on the soft carpet, feeling the warmth emanating from her feet.

Kitahara Makoto followed closely behind, and after closing the door, he also took off his shoes.

He walked to Mai Sakurajima's side, gently put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear:

"Do you like it here?"

Mai Sakurajima nodded, leaned against him, and whispered in response:

"Of course we love it, this is our home."

The two embraced as they walked into the living room. Kitahara Makoto let go of her hand and began to busy himself.

He turned on the stereo, and soft music gradually filled the room, adding a touch of romance and warmth to the space.

Mai Sakurajima walked to the window, gently pulled back the curtains, and let the moonlight stream into the room.

"Want something to drink?"

Kitahara asked, turning to look at Sakurajima Mai.

"I'd like to have some red wine."

Mai Sakurajima answered with a smile.

Kitahara Makoto nodded, walked to the wine cabinet, and selected a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses. He skillfully opened the bottle and poured a glass of red wine for each of them.

The two sat on the sofa, clinked their glasses lightly, and then each took a sip of red wine.

The wine spreads in your mouth, carrying a light fruity aroma and a slightly intoxicating alcohol taste, making you feel intoxicated.

"This wine is really delicious."

Mai Sakurajima exclaimed in admiration.

"As long as you like it."

Kitahara Makoto responded with a smile.

"Let's enjoy this time that's just for us tonight."

Chapter 333 What is the message that needs to be said in the night?

overnight.

..............

The next morning, sunlight streamed gently into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Kitahara Makoto slowly opened his eyes, feeling a ray of warm light. He stretched gently and turned to look at Sakurajima Mai beside him.

Mai Sakurajima was still asleep, her face serene and peaceful, her long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath her eyelids.

Kitahara Shin watched her quietly, a surge of indescribable tenderness welling up inside him. He gently rose, trying not to make a sound, afraid of waking her.

He walked to the window, gently pulled back the curtains, and let the sunlight flood the room.

The golden sunlight illuminated the entire room and also lit up Mai Sakurajima's face.

She seemed to sense the change in light, slightly moved her eyelids, and then slowly opened her eyes.

"good morning Baby."

Kitahara Makoto said gently, a happy smile on his face.

Mai Sakurajima responded with a smile:

"Good morning."

Her voice still carried a hint of languor, making it even more captivating.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if the tranquility and beauty of this moment had been extended indefinitely.

The morning sunlight filtered through the thin curtains, dappling the floor and adding warmth to the space.

Kitahara Makoto rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly sat up. He was wearing loose pajamas, and his black hair was slightly messy, but it couldn't hide his handsome features and gentle temperament.

He stretched lightly, loosened his muscles, then walked to the window and drew back the curtains.

Sunlight instantly flooded the entire room, its golden glow illuminating his face and making him appear exceptionally warm.

Kitahara Makoto took a deep breath of the fresh air, savoring the tranquility and beauty of the early morning.

He turned and walked to the bathroom to wash up.
