Who says meal replacements can’t be eaten as meals?

"Hmm." With one hand on the tip of the smooth chin, Ms. Sakuya thought for a moment and then gently pecked the white earlobe, achieving the literal meaning of rubbing ears.

Xiangzi subconsciously reached out to cover the earlobe that was kissed, and looked at the flaxen-haired girl who had become bolder with trembling pupils.

"Haha, you're obviously not that good." A crisp laugh came along with the sound of the chair rubbing against the floor. After teasing Sakuya, she got up and ran away, not giving Shoko a chance to fight back.

Ms. Sakuya, who was halfway through laughing, couldn't continue laughing because Toyokawa Shoko reacted quickly.

She grabbed the girl's wrist with one hand as she tried to escape, mustered up her courage, and kissed her hard.

Their lips touched and parted, simply and naturally, just as she had imagined, not difficult at all.

The sound of rain gradually died down, and the two people with flushed faces sat cross-legged on the uncomfortable wooden floor, their legs were tripped, and their hands were firmly pressed. It was not until they caught a glimpse of the slightly aggressive golden pupils above their heads that Ichinose Sakuya slowly realized his current situation.

Maybe she can't use the excuse of being good friends to get away with it this time...

Her long light blue hair hung down on the side of her face, making her feel a little itchy. She rarely saw the cute scene of Xiangzi licking the corner of his mouth with his tongue.

After a pause, Toyokawa Shoko bent down and kissed him again.

Chapter 199: Rain and Sunshine

The rain stopped, and the heavy downpour turned into a cool drizzle. If you tilt your head slightly, you can see the bright red sky through the gaps in the thick rain clouds through the well-lit floor-to-ceiling windows. The evening light cut through the dark veil and spread all over the city. Small raindrops cling to the window glass and the traffic lights on the sidewalk, flashing spots of light under the sunset glow.

The clear sunset, the falling hair dyed golden red, the beautiful light reflected by the matte shell of the bass, and the thumping sound of the little man's heartbeat.

The scenery after the rain brought a brand new clean beauty, eliminating the depression and annoyance, but it could not bring Ichinose Sakuya any peace of mind.

She covered her mouth and turned her head silently, looking at the glowing city shadows spread by the dusk halo. Her fair face turned slightly red, and the shadows of the two people were dragged out very long.

When did Toyokawa Shoko start to like herself?

Sakuya thought that it was probably the same exquisite evening scenery from the day she ran away with Shoko.

But I like it much more than that, or it can be said that I have an interesting mood like wanting to make friends.

She is pretty and strong, and she is in touch with her sister whom she hasn't seen for a long time. She will take a bowl of the most ordinary fried pork cutlet rice seriously, but like the little hedgehog, she can't give the same return, so she rejects everyone's kindness first. Like a ceramic vase full of cracks, it has been on the verge of collapse but still performs its duty of storing water.

With a curious mood, Ichinose Sakuya touched it tentatively. Although she only repaired a little bit, she was the only one who could repair this precious porcelain that longed for warmth but resisted warmth. The repair process was not easy. She would always make a bigger crack without realizing it, and then fill it with new fragments. Miss Sakuya had to be more careful, because she was not afraid of being scratched by the fragments, but that blood would drip into the cracks and could not be removed.

The result was a success, and I should be proud of it... If my lips hadn't felt slightly damp, and there wasn't a blushing blue-haired hedgehog lying on top of me, Sakuya-san might have been happier.

I didn't listen to my sister in the end, and now I really can't get married...

"Shoko, the rain has stopped." Miss Sakuya whispered as she looked at the migratory birds flying in pairs past the glass window, feeling so shy that she was about to faint.

"I lost the bet." Toyokawa Shoko buried her head in the girl's well-developed chest and said sullenly. Even though she was used to deciding everything with reason, she could not overcome the most basic human desires and completely melted in Sakuya's warm sensibility.

"It's very itchy..." Miss Sakuya, whose hands and feet were restrained, couldn't muster any strength and said in a soft voice with a hint of grievance.

Toyokawa Shoko closed her eyes and remained silent for fifteen seconds before she raised her head with the help of her arms, her face also covered with a blush.

"Sakuya, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself, we..."

"No... It's okay, Xiangzi just didn't stand firmly and fell down, right? I, I, I... I am also wrong." The country girl closed her eyes, pretending not to see the love overflowing from the golden pupils, and said to herself. She really wanted Xiangzi to be responsible for herself... But she couldn't continue to burden the tired Xiaoxiang. It's normal for good friends... super good friends to kiss occasionally, right?

Toyokawa Shoko pouted in dissatisfaction, and the remaining impulse surged in her heart again. Her apologies all turned into resentment and anger. Sakuya was really stubborn for pretending that nothing had happened even after they had kissed. It took a lot of courage for her not to faint from embarrassment on the spot. It was at least one third of the fault for Sakuya who took the initiative to seduce her.

"Sakuya, have you ever kissed a girl?" She changed her position, straddling the girl's waist, and put her palms on her hot cheeks, so that the little village girl who was pretending to be an ostrich could only look at her.

Miss Sakuya closed her eyes tightly, with cute wrinkles forming above her straight nose, and shook her head vigorously.

Excluding the time when Maomao accidentally touched the corner of her mouth, this was indeed her first kiss. Fortunately, Xiangzi was just fiddling with his lips awkwardly just now, so she could still deceive herself that it was a common cheek kiss in the West.

"Me too." Miss Xiangzi's tone was quite resentful. She raised her hand to wipe her lips and said shyly.

Ichinose Sakuya quietly opened one eye. The shy Shoko was really adorable. It would have been even better if she didn't sit on her waist like a duck.

"Hey, Sakuya, I was mentally prepared and thought it over carefully before..." Miss Xiangzi took a breath and continued. "I made up my mind to kiss you."

The gray-blue eyes dodged more obviously, and Ms. Sakuya, who was good at seduction, unconsciously tried to turn her head away.

He failed and his chin was pinched by a white and tender little hand.

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

"How about it, do you understand?" Miss Xiangzi took a deep breath, then she showed the demeanor of a young lady that she had cultivated over the years and spoke condescendingly.

"Hmm..." Miss Sakuya covered the corner of her lips, her vision a little blurred. The sweetness she had never tasted before spread throughout her body along with her hot cheeks. In the end, she accepted her fate and let out a light "hmm".

"Shoko, you have to be responsible..." With barely noticeable tears gathering in the corners of her eyes, Ichinose Sakuya spoke coquettishly in a tone filled with happiness.

"I will." Xiangzi chuckled and raised his hand to wipe away the clear tears in the sunset.

"I won the bet, right?" Miss Sakuya suddenly asked again.

"Yes, Sakuya won." Shoko lowered his eyelids and looked into the watery pupils.

She opened her gray-blue eyes to the side, then looked up to look at the person on her body, and said tremblingly.

"Want to go for a walk?"

Now that the sky has cleared up after the rain and is filled with dazzling water droplets, Toyokawa Shoko does not want to watch the flaxen girl's back as usual, but wants to walk beside her.

"Okay, let's go." Toyokawa Shoko lifted her hair and smiled.

Chapter 200: Ms. Sakuya Becomes a Vegetarian

The lights are on, the sky is stained with hazy moonlight after the rain, the trees on the roadside cast scattered shadows on the stone road, not far away there is the deep sound of the tram passing over the rails, the night market vendors on the street push the snack carts with bright red lanterns, open the tables and chairs, put up signs, and shout loudly under the neon lights. After the busy life, people can't help being lazy.

There were still many shallow puddles of water on the road. Ichinose Sakuya reluctantly let go of the arm of the person next to him, jumped over them, and folded their shadows into a ball again.

"I'm very happy today, but it's time to separate." Toyokawa Shoko looked at the big chestnut-haired dog, whose clinginess had doubled, with a little helplessness, and reached out to touch the latter's forehead under the bangs.

"Message me when you get home." Miss Sakuya hesitated for two or three seconds, then let go of her hand, jumped over the wet tiles, turned around on the ground, and reminded.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Sakuya-chan." Toyokawa Shoko replied lovingly, and rarely used a nickname that expressed intimacy.

"Don't send messages on the road. Pay attention to the traffic lights when crossing the road. It's raining today..." Miss Sakuya continued to remind him worriedly.

"So Sakuya is this type of mother?" Shoko covered her mouth and laughed softly.

"That's just my personality." A barely noticeable blush appeared on the side of her face, and Sakuya muttered in dissatisfaction, watching the little blue-haired hedgehog, who was probably her girlfriend, walk into the ticket gate of the subway station.

The evening breeze, carrying the sound of a distant whistle, gently brushed through her flaxen hair.

"See you tomorrow." She stood on tiptoe and waved her hands vigorously.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Xiangzi looked back again and walked briskly towards the much brighter platform.

It was not until the light blue hair disappeared from her sight that Sakuya-san belatedly covered her face with her hands and let out a cute, short cry.

Should I tell Mio? But I am still very shy. Besides, I have to keep it a secret from my sister. What I said before was too embarrassing... What kind of makeup should I wear to meet Xiangzi tomorrow?

Complicated thoughts burst out from the bottom of her heart like an index. The dazed Sakuya finally took advantage of the strange looks from the passers-by around her to retreat tactically in a slightly embarrassed posture on her leather shoes. The GB-4 was still left at RiNG. At this point, it was better to reunite with her sister first.

======

Nagasaki Suyo always felt that something might have gone wrong with her sister today.

After arriving home, he jumped onto the sofa barefoot without even putting down his beloved bass, bent his knees and kept typing, with an obvious happy smile on his face, the corners of his mouth almost reaching the chandelier in the house.

"Is there something good? Why do you look so happy today?" Nagasaki Motoyo held the blue whale slippers that Sakuya often wore and slowly sat down next to the silly sister.

"I'm very happy every day." The clear gray-blue eyes moved away subconsciously, and replied foolishly.

Su Shi rubbed her fingers together in confusion. Her intuition told her that something was wrong, but this was indeed Sakuya's character.

"It's getting late, why don't you take a shower first, Sakuya?" In the end, she didn't take it too seriously. After all, it seemed like things were going in a good direction.

"Sister, go wash first. I need to chat for a while." The little feet wrapped in dark green stockings lightly touched her sister's thigh. The country girl's mind was full of the cute blue-haired hedgehog.

"Don't chat too late." Su Shi took the cup of water, gave a reminder, and then went into the bathroom first.

...

A shower head with a constant water output is probably the most standard white noise, similar to the sound of air coming out of a hair dryer, which are sounds that Nagasaki Suyo often hears.

As if completing her daily task, she put her uniform and Sakuya's uniform into the vertical drum washing machine. Although it rained in the afternoon, the summer sun in the morning was scorching and merciless.

Outer coat, lining, light green plaid skirt, she put her clothes back in place one by one, but Nagasaki Suyo's expression became more and more puzzled.

My sister's hair should be the same shiny flax color as mine, but how come there are so many light blue strands?

Maybe he got infected because of his good relationship with Xiaoxiang. It’s impossible that they checked into a hotel and slept together without telling him.

"Sister, where is the hair dryer?" Ms. Sakuya asked with her long wet hair on top of her head and holding in one hand the Little Shark phone that she had never put down even when taking a shower, in a tone that was 30% sweeter than usual.

"It's right here." Nagasaki Suyo hid her confusion and spoke softly.

The buzzing white noise sounded again, and Ms. Sakuya spoke without warning while blowing her hair.

"Sister, please teach me how to make a bento."

"Eh?" Nagasaki Suyo's voice was drawn out, and she stroked the fingernails of her other hand with her thumb and index finger, asking curiously. "Doesn't Sakuya prefer the hot dishes in the cafeteria? Or does she not like the bento prepared by her sister?"

"No, I just want to try it myself. Besides, there is a microwave in the school cafeteria." Ichinose Sakuya rolled up the freshly dried hair beside her ear with one hand and said with a little shyness.

"Of course you can, but we don't have much meat at home now..." Miss Su Shi looked at her sister, who was like a girl in love, calmly. The strange feeling of difference finally aroused the suspicion that had been suppressed.

"I remember there were meatballs as well." Ms. Sakuya rested her chin on her hand while thinking.

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't resist her sister's sudden enthusiasm, so she pulled open the plastic wrap and asked tentatively, "Are you still planning to go to Hanegaoka tomorrow? Or do you still want to go to Tsuki no Mori?"

"Of course I'm going to attend classes in Hanegaoka. What are you thinking about, sister?" Miss Sakuya answered as a matter of course. She had already taken out rice and eggs skillfully and was thinking about the composition of the menu. She was quite qualified in cooking non-vegetarian dishes.

The staple food is indeed the convenient hand-held rice balls, eggs can be made into omelets, and meatballs can perhaps be cooked with ketchup. Xiangzi should like it very much, and of course she likes it too.

"Yes, sister is overthinking it." Su Shi took out the washed tomatoes with a smile on her face, while her other hand tightly grasped the hem of her apron.

Something must have happened between my sister and Xiangzi today. She wanted to go to Tsukinomori to be lazy in the morning, but now she is suddenly interested in the bento. I can tell there is something fishy even with my eyes closed.

"Sister, please teach me how to cook wild vegetables. A bento with only meat and carbohydrates is unhealthy, isn't it?" Miss Sakuya said something that she would never be able to say.

Nagasaki Motoyo's hand holding the knife paused for a moment, then she suddenly put down the half-cut cherry tomato, raised her hand and covered her stupid sister's forehead with the back of her hand.

"What's wrong?" Sakuya blinked, somewhat confused.

"I don't have a fever..." Su Shifu touched his forehead again and murmured in disbelief.

"Sakuya." Nagasaki Suyo looked into the same gray-blue eyes with a complicated expression and asked. "Are you going to prepare the bento for yourself?"

"right."

Chapter 201 is also OK

Today is a sunny day with bright sunshine. The showers yesterday afternoon came and went quickly, disappearing like a dream, leaving behind only the clean, clear sky of lapis lazuli color.

The bento is ready.

Ichinose Sakuya got up a little earlier than usual today and hurriedly mixed the vegetable salad. Even though she had learned these simple dishes from her sister last night and had made preparations in advance, it was still quite difficult to make multiple dishes that were both good-looking and delicious at once. Although one of the reasons was that someone was too obsessed with the choice of rice ball fillings.

Nagasaki Suyo covered her mouth and yawned, smoothed her hair which she had not had time to tidy up, and looked at her sister who had tied an apron in surprise.

After pinching her fingertips lightly to make herself sober, Miss Su Shi decided not to ask any more questions. She stepped forward to help her sister who was struggling with the salad dressing to finish the dish.

"Sister, good morning~" Miss Sakuya greeted her with full energy. Perhaps it was because she hadn't cooked for a while, so she was quite motivated.

"Good morning, have you been up for a long time?" Su Shi naturally opened the boiling tomato soup pot, turned around to wash his hands, wiped them clean with kitchen paper, and prepared to help make rice balls.

"I went to bed early last night, so my body must have gotten enough sleep. I woke up before the alarm even rang this morning." Ms. Sakuya put her hands on her hips, showing the pride of an elementary school student.

“Okay, okay, remember to time the cooking time for the meatballs. After more than fifteen minutes, the meat will become tough and lose its moisture and meaty flavor.” The professional chef instructed as he molded the rice into a standard arc shape.

"Eh? I thought it would taste the same as long as it's cooked." Sakuya hurried to the stove and reached out to lift the lid, but Su Shi gently pushed it open.

"I've checked it. It'll take a while. Just concentrate on making your lunch box." Miss Su Shi rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

"Then I'll come and make rice balls with my sister." The voice was excited, and Sakuya seemed to be particularly happy today.

"The ingredients are a bit too much. This is enough for three people, right?" Su Shi stated the facts in a normal tone. She probably guessed that Sakuya was planning to prepare lunch boxes for the other people in Hanqiu... As expected, she still couldn't let it go. She had an inexplicable feeling that her daughter had grown up.

"Yeah, I prepared some for my sister as well." Sakuya quietly put the extra rice back into the pot, turned her head to compare it with her sister's finished product, and embarrassedly placed the roughly triangular rice aggregate side by side on the chopping board.

Su Shi sighed, and scooped some more rice to show her stupid sister who didn't pay any attention to the proportions. "You added too much stuffing, and the method is wrong. Pay attention to my gestures..."

"Oh...Is that so? Then I'll put this failed product in my sister's lunch box later."

"I heard it!"

After some playing around, the most ordinary smell of fireworks was also floating in the penthouse on the 45th floor. Looking into the distance, there were only a few lazy clouds of small scale floating leisurely in the clear sky. The sky without birds flying was just as refreshing.

As she was about to leave, Sakuya-san, who was holding two lunch boxes, turned around and looked at the elegant young lady in her Tsuki no Mori school uniform like a spoiled child. "Sister, will you share your lunch box with Mutsu-san at noon?"
