After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

"No, I have to go home and play games." Ishigami Yu refused directly. What kind of dinner party? Could it stop him from appreciating art? Impossible!

So Fujiwara Chika glared at him angrily and yelled, "It's because you're always like this that no girl wants to go out or play with you!"

“Oh, woman…” Ishigami Yu curled his lips in disdain, “It’s just the work of two people at most. How can it be compared to the great work that a huge team worked day and night and exhausted their efforts to create?! Don’t underestimate art, you bastard!”

"..." Fujiwara Chika looked at him dully for a while, then she turned her head and said to Iino Miko next to her with a very serious face, "Did you see that, Miko-chan? I'm telling you, if you want to find a boyfriend in the future, this type is definitely not allowed!"

"Yes, I understand." Iino Miko nodded and replied to the other party very seriously.

Seeing her junior being so well-behaved, Fujiwara Chika finally nodded with satisfaction. Then she turned her gaze to Shirogane Miyuki and asked for his opinion.

"Forget it. I have a part-time job later." Baiyin Yuxing shook his head and refused quite naturally. But in fact, even if he didn't go to work, he would probably refuse. After all, he has always adhered to the concept of "not eating out".

As for Natsukawa Kanade...no one even wants to ask for his opinion.

Even Fujiwara Chika understood that it was too strange to visit a patient at his home and then suddenly invite him out for dinner, so she naturally passed him up. Fortunately, Natsukawa Kanade herself didn't have that intention, and she was even relieved to see them start discussing their future schedule.

Great, I'm finally leaving...

On the one hand, he finally relaxed, but on the other hand, he also felt a little regretful. After all, friends came to his home as guests, and he should have been more enthusiastic, or even just invite them to dinner at home, and he would take the initiative to cook a table of dishes, just so that they could experience his cooking skills directly. However, due to the matter of Lord Angel, he naturally couldn't do so today, and could only consider the next opportunity.

The following developments were relatively smooth and without twists and turns. After sending them out the door, I said goodbye to them one after another. Just when I closed the door and was about to go back and call the angel to come out, I heard the doorbell ring again.

"Who is it this time..." Xiachuan Zou murmured, and then suddenly felt panicked, realizing that maybe the neighbor's house number was seen and caused them to discover something?

He hesitated and opened the door again, only to see Ishigami Yu standing alone outside the door, greeting him: "Oh, senior, I forgot something..."

The other party stepped into his house again without saying anything, and then looked around for a while like a thief. After realizing that he was already at home, he finally scratched his head, chuckled, turned the backpack over, and unzipped it, while saying to him: "I almost forgot to give you this."

Xiachuan Kanade lowered his head slightly and took a closer look, and found that it was a swimsuit photo album. Judging from the date on it, it was obviously the latest magazine that had just been published.

"Ah, this..."

"It's okay, it's okay, no need to be polite with me, senior. After all, I also got the 'good stuff'!" Ishigami Yu gave him a look that said "you know what I mean".

"..." So Xia Chuan Zou nodded, then glanced at the bedroom behind him without revealing any expression, and then responded in a low voice, "Thank you very much..."

"Hehe...that's it, I'll see you tomorrow, Senior."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

263. The Waking Angel

After seeing Ishigami off again, the house suddenly became quiet, and the sound of birds singing outside the window could be clearly heard.

There were no more surprises this time. Xiachuan Zou went straight back to the bedroom, ready to call the angel who had been hiding for a long time to come out for some fresh air.

After slowly pushing open the door, I found that it was quiet inside, and even the figure of Miss Angel could not be noticed for a moment.

At first he thought that Mahiru was worried that someone would come in and find her, so she found a corner to hide in or something, but after a quick glance, he saw the angel lying on his bed with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping soundly.

This didn't look like she was pretending to sleep at all, because she had obviously turned over, and the bedding beneath her showed some traces. Her hair was now spread out on the bed like a river, and her body was slightly curled up, making her petite and cute appearance even more prominent.

Seeing her making such cute breathing sounds as "Hu...Hu...", Xia Chuan Zou's movements suddenly became gentle. He moved closer slowly, then stood in front of the bed, and squatted slightly to observe her cute sleeping face.

In fact, Angel is usually very cute, but this innocent and cute look will be magnified again when she falls asleep. Maybe it's because she is usually nervous at school, so she usually has a cold expression when she is seen. So every time I go home and see her softening look, I feel particularly satisfied in my heart, as if this cute contrast can only be enjoyed by him alone. And now a new CG has been unlocked - Angel sleeping soundly in bed. At this time, it is more appropriate to describe her as an extremely cute little animal rather than a beautiful girl.

Thinking of this, Xiachuan Zou couldn't help but want to reach out and gently stroke her soft hair again, and couldn't help but want to try to poke her soft cheek.

And then—he did just that.

The feeling of the smooth face on the fingertips is almost exactly the same softness I have experienced before, and just pressing it lightly can cause it to deform slightly. When it retracts slightly, it will slowly bounce up again. It is really soft.

There is no doubt that this slippery touch will naturally make people want to linger there, so Xiachuan Zou couldn't help but poke it twice with his fingertips.

"She is so cute..." Natsukawa Kanade murmured.

Because it was so soft and comfortable, I had originally planned to just taste it briefly, but now I couldn't stop myself and began to move around gently as if I was stroking a cat.

Even though he was careful to use less strength, the angel who was sleeping peacefully still uttered a hoarse but sweet and seductive sound, "Hmm..."

Then, before he could withdraw his hand, Miss Angel's eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened.

At first, it was a pair of moist eyes whose focus had not yet reunited. His "bad" look was reflected in her caramel-colored pupils. Her expression was still a little loose and ignorant, and there was a lingering childish aftertaste on her face. Her consciousness should still be in a trance at this time, so he wanted to take the opportunity to take his hand back, maybe he could fool her.

But the result was that, in his sight, Miss Angel tilted her head slightly, looking as if she was "confused", then quickly lowered her eyebrows and gently closed her eyes again.

He thought this might be the best time to stop, but she began to lean her face towards his fingers and began to rub them gently, while a coquettish "Hmm..." sound came out of her throat.

Xiachuan Zou's pupils suddenly dilated, and he began to wonder if he had seen it wrong.

But the fact is that the way she rubbed her face against him was as if she was saying "please don't leave" to him.

Maybe... No, no maybe, he was probably sure of it, Xiachuan Zou thought.

The angel was obviously half asleep, otherwise she would never be able to make such intimate movements so naturally. It was like a kitten that was usually arrogant and cold and ignored people, but suddenly learned to meow and act coquettishly, and then frequently showed it in front of you. The only way to explain her cute movements was that she was "half asleep".

What about him? He was clearly not drowsy, and was very clear about what he was doing. He was even quite clear that when the angel woke up, she would definitely point fingers at him and scold him for going too far. How could he play a prank on her when she was sleeping?

So is he going to choose to stop?

No, of course not! How could I stop like this? Of course I would continue to love her as my heart desires!

Whether it was his inner desire or his mood, he did so. After all, it was rare to see such a soft and cute angel. And to be honest, he was very interested in "how cute and coquettish she could be?"

Thus, with the active cooperation of the angel, he felt more about her softness and warmth, and correspondingly, some warmth began to emerge in his heart and on his face unconsciously.

"Uh-huh……"

It was unknown how long this scene lasted, because Natsukawa Kanade was no longer paying attention to time. All his attention was focused on feeling her cuteness, and then finally... she seemed to have finally come to her senses and slowly opened her eyes again.

"......Huh?" The angel made a very pleasant sound.

After making eye contact with him, Mahiru quickly shifted her gaze to his fingers that were touching her, and then seemed to freeze her entire body.

"!"

Then, she suddenly moved away and sat up.

"Morning, good morning!"

"Good morning... No, it should be evening now, right?" Xia Chuan Zou felt a little regretful in his heart, but he was also curious why the angel's reaction seemed a little indifferent, as if not as intense as he had imagined?

"Hmm..." Mahiru's cheeks looked a little red. Natsukawa Kanade felt that this might be due to the fact that she was confused again and said something outrageous.

"..."

The angel seemed a little embarrassed. He kept looking at him, then looking at his hand which had not yet been completely retracted. There seemed to be a somewhat resentful expression on his face, but if you looked closely, it didn't seem like that.

"What's wrong?" Xiachuan Zou asked curiously. He had no awareness that he had done anything "bad". Instead, he began to "question" the innocent girl.

"...Does Zou really like having her face touched?" The angel pulled the quilt over to slightly cover her pretty face.

"Ok?"

"Because... it happened before, and it's the same today..." Shiina Mahiru's eyes flickered.

She recalled a little bit of the scene just now.

When she woke up, she thought she was still dreaming. When she found Zou beside her and touching her with his hands, she felt so comfortable and at ease that she immediately obeyed him and accidentally started to enjoy it. But now that she is fully awake, her mind is suddenly filled with shame, but she is unwilling to admit that it is her fault and wants to put all the blame on him.

"Ah... maybe... yes..." Natsukawa Kanade himself felt a little embarrassed, because he was pointed out like that by the person involved, and his originally relaxed mood became a little faded.

"As expected... Kanade is an idiot."

"Eh?" Natsukawa Kanade was a little surprised, because it was rare to see Mahiru "swearing" like this.

But I have to say it's actually quite interesting. What's going on?

The word "idiot" uttered by Miss Angel did not sound like a scolding, but rather had a hint of "coquettishness", so Natsukawa Zou could not help but want to tease her.

"Although I did do something bad, Mahiru is also responsible for this!"

"……Eh?"

"Who told you to be so cute and defenseless, so I couldn't help but take action." Natsukawa Kanade coughed lightly a few times, and suddenly felt that his statement was really shameless. He actually wanted to put all the responsibility on Mahiru. It was simply the behavior of a scumbag. Although he originally just wanted to tease her, but would it be too much?

"And I was originally going to take it back, but Mahiru suddenly pulled it away and wouldn't let me take it..."

"Eh? Why is this happening..." The angel's tone sounded very pitiful. He looked so weak and helpless and cute, which made him feel very satisfied.

And how to say it... Although Mahiru seems to be quite "pitiful" now, and she pouts and wrinkles her nose slightly, Natsukawa Kanade can still feel that she is definitely not angry, and may not even have the intention of blaming him, because she is such a cute and gentle person.

Even if I was really "tricked" by him, after I realized it, I might just glare at him gently, thinking that this would be considered punishing him, right?

"But, if something like this happens, Zou is also responsible, right?" The Angel retorted with a slight pout. She was unwilling to give in like this.

“I thought Kanade wouldn’t do that kind of thing… I pretended to sleep just to confirm that…”

"…Is that so?" Natsukawa Kanade's expression was very subtle.

In his opinion, the Angel's remarks were too cute. After all, he just said in the beginning, "I believe he won't attack," and then he said, "I pretended to sleep to confirm this." But what is the truth?

She wasn't pretending to be asleep, she was clearly fast asleep, right? !

She explained her small mistake as a way to test whether he had bad intentions, as if she was a very smart child... Yabai, Angel-sama is too cute, isn't he? !

Of course, he was very touched that she could say that she trusted him, but it was also necessary to teach her a lesson. After all, he naturally hoped that this kind of thing would never be shown to other men except in front of him, so it didn't matter even if he might not be able to experience it in the future.

"Well, I'm very happy to hear you say that, but..." Xia Chuan Kan nodded, expressing his thoughts to her, "After all, I'm also a boy, okay? Such a cute girl is sleeping in my bedroom, on my usual bed. It's absolutely impossible to say that I can't do anything, right? After all, I'm a boy..."

"Well, I do know about that kind of thing..." The angel gently patted the quilt, as if in protest.

"Oh?" Natsukawa Kanade raised his eyebrows, and suddenly evil thoughts emerged in his mind again, "What this means is... Could it be that Mahiru actually wants me to do something?"

"How, how is that possible!" The angel strongly denied him with a red face.

Xiachuan Kanade immediately chuckled, because this reaction was completely within his expectations, and seeing her blushing and shy made him very satisfied.

But after seeing him like this, the angel seemed to misunderstand that he was being laughed at, and he uttered a shameful sound of "Mmm...". However, the power of just a slight glare was not enough to make him restrain himself, so he uttered the sad cry of a little animal again, "Gumm..." In the end, he had no choice but to cover his face with the quilt and then crawled into the bed.

"Gurgle, gurgle" sound, indistinct words came from under the quilt.

"Uh..." Xiachuan Zou opened his mouth wide, looking at her acting like an ostrich, and forced himself to swallow the complaint "This is obviously my bed, right?"

After all, it was his fault. If he even tore away the cup that blocked her view, she might really explode with shame, and he might ignore her for several days like before.

Anyway, for the sake of his diet for the next few days, he decided it would be better not to tease the angel anymore until her shyness completely subsided.

Although he had decided to leave her alone for a while, his body didn't think so and even made some strange noises on its own.

"Gulu~"

So Xiachuan Zou subconsciously covered his stomach and prayed that the other party didn't hear the sound.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he expected. The angel stopped moving all of a sudden and quickly got out of the bed.

But she didn't say anything, just stared at him silently with a strange look.

"..."

"Uh……"

When their eyes met, Xiachuan Zou felt a little embarrassed, but the angel suddenly burst out laughing.

"There's really nothing I can do to you..."

"..."

He blushed slightly.

The final chapter

The daily life of ordinary people is actually not full of twists and turns. Xia Chuanzou has always thought so, but it was not until the end that he realized that he was not ordinary at all. After all, he was a time traveler, so how "ordinary" could he be? But compared with other time travelers, his "golden finger" awakened very slowly.

It was not until just before the college entrance examination that he slowly recalled all the memories of his past life, his previous life... or every life before his rebirth.

It's not a crucial part, but a very trivial, continuous memory - the memory of him and each "heroine" together.

Should we say this is the so-called IF line? In those worlds, his "strategy" was quite successful, and he was able to get together with them very smoothly every time, from meeting them to pursuing them, and then successfully dating them, to getting married, and then having children, and finally holding hands and growing old together. Now, all the memories that occurred in these IF worlds were recalled by him at this moment.
