Let me see your shine!

"Is it really okay to say that? You two are childhood sweethearts, right?"

Xiangzi said indignantly: "Humph, she has become someone else's child."

"It's only a matter of time. You can't be together forever."

“…That’s what I said.”

Xiangzi also knew that he was right: "But at least we can still go to high school together... That's what I thought."

"I think it's a good thing that Futaba-chan has her own goals. She's right, it's just that you're too sensitive."

"Shut up, Yuto-san."

Xiangzi pouted, pinched his waist, and then stood up: "I've had enough fun, I'm hungry."

Youren laughed heartily: "Haha, that's troublesome, I don't have any money."

"What a coincidence! He didn't bring anything either."

Xiangzi put her hands on her hips and laughed.

"...But it shouldn't be a problem. Come with me."

Youren stood up and asked Xiangzi to follow him.

"Where?"

"Looking for a vending machine."

He replied, found his shoes at the bottom of the stairs, put them on, walked up the stairs and left the beach.

He drove Xiangzi for a while and then saw a vending machine.

She followed him to the front of the plane and asked curiously, "So?"

"They say there's a good chance there's change in the change slot of the vending machine. We might find it if we look for it."

“Hey, is this true?”

“It’s free to try.”

Yuu Ren said.

He thought of trying his luck because his cat spirit had a skill called Attracting Wealth, which could slightly increase the owner's fortune.

Now that the Fox Spirit Guide has appeared, it might work.

He reached for the change slot and said, "Let's make a bet. I bet there's money in there."

Xiangzi smiled cunningly and said, "Then I bet I have money too."

Yuto was helpless: "You can't bet on the same result...huh? There really is one."

He fished out a coin.

"How many?"

"five hundred."

"That's a lot of money, Siguoyi!"

Xiangzi jumped up excitedly like a little kid.

"It's a good start, let's go on!"

Yuto also felt very happy.

192 Sunrise

Next, Yuto and Kaori searched everywhere in Fujisawa City for vending machines.

他并不是每次都那么好运，能找到500円，更多的是50、10、5、1円等零碎。

The two searched for a long time, and the total amount of coins they found was about 1,500 yen.

They had a lot of fun.

"I've made a fortune."

“It’s so profitable!”

Yuto and Xiangzi felt like they were searching for treasure, and were so excited that they started laughing in the streets late at night.

"Yuto-san, let's go get something to eat."

Xiangzi urged.

"Okay, I remember passing by a convenience store just now, let's go there."

Youren asked Xiangzi to get in the car, drove around for a while, and stopped outside a convenience store.

He said, "Go in wearing a helmet so you won't be recognized."

"Good~"

Soon, the convenience store clerk saw two suspicious people wearing helmets appear in the middle of the night.

The clerk swallowed and sweatdropped a little.

Yuto and Xiangzi didn't care about the clerk's feelings.

They picked for a while and lavishly chose two bento boxes and two bottles of drinks. In the end, because they didn't have enough money, they could only buy a small cake as dessert, and the two decided to eat it together.

When checking out, Xiangzi proudly placed the coins on the table, then looked at the clerk with her hands on her hips.

The clerk counted the money with shaking hands and thought to himself: Oh my god, I hope I didn’t meet a mental patient!

He counted the coins tremblingly, then silently heated up their lunch boxes.

While waiting, Youren and Xiangzi were afraid of being recognized, so they didn't say anything. They just looked around and looked at the clerk from time to time.

Their deliberate silence frightened him even more.

After heating up the lunch boxes, Youren and Xiangzi took their things and left.

The clerk wiped the sweat off his face while holding the table and let out a long sigh.

After a while.

Yuto took Xiangzi to a nearby small park, took off his helmet and started eating.

"I'm gonna start now!"

After Xiangzi sat down, she couldn't wait to start eating.

"Eat slowly, no one is competing with you for it."

Yuto admonished like an old father.

He began to eat slowly.

Xiangzi exclaimed as she ate, "It's so delicious! The most perfect meal I've ever had!"

"You're exaggerating. You're just hungry."

Yuuto smiled and shook his head.

After they finished their lunch boxes, they each shared half of the small cake.

Xiangzi ate it in small bites, cherishing this small half piece of cake very much.

Yuto finished it in one bite.

After she finished eating, she asked, "Where to go next?"

Yuto glanced at his phone. "It's almost four o'clock now, and there are only a few places open... maybe karaoke bars, internet cafes, and the like."

"Let's go karaoke!"

"Then go get the money first."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Youren asked her to go find a vending machine.

The two of them searched and found more than 2,000.

They thought that was enough, so they went to a karaoke bar and rented a room to sing, and they could also go to the bathroom at the same time.

Xiangzi sang very enthusiastically, while Youren only sang occasionally.

An hour later, they finished singing Karaoke, used the last of their money to buy snacks and drinks, and drove to the beach to wait for the sunrise.

They walked down the stage and back onto the beach.

Yuto and Xiangzi sat at the bottom step of the stairs and placed the bag between them.

Xiangzi said happily, "Ha... Today's experience is really amazing. I didn't expect to suddenly come to Qilibin, and even spend the whole night looking for money, singing karaoke, and watching the sunrise."

“Well, it’s a rare experience.”

Yuto hadn't expected that his little animal's ability would come in handy in this way.

He drank the happy water slowly and asked, "So, what's going to happen between you and Futaba?"

"Ah, I had completely forgotten about that."

Xiangzi was stunned.

After a few seconds, she scratched her head and said, "Suddenly it doesn't seem like a big deal anymore."

"Shall we go back after daybreak?"

"it is good."

Xiangzi nodded.

Youren said, "Well, you'll be separated sooner or later anyway, so just treat it as a breakup now."

"..."

Xiangzi finished her potato chips silently, then without feeling disgusted, she folded her hands behind her head and lay down on the stairs.

She looked at the still dark sky and said:

"I started playing with Futaba when I was very young, and I thought we would always be together.

This time she would rather find someone else to train with than me, which makes me feel abandoned by her. She has always asked me for help before, and if I hadn't trained her, she wouldn't be able to enter Shengxiang.

“Everyone will grow.”

"Yes, ha—it's time."

Xiangzi sighed heavily: "Futaba is working so hard, she must want to continue working hard on the stage. I haven't made up my mind yet, so she didn't look for me."

Yuto nodded: "Our goals are different, so it's really hard to play together."

"That's it. Now that I think about it, even if I get angry, there's nothing I can do. It's really boring..."

Xiangzi stared at the sky in a daze.

He asked, "You really don't have any ideas about the future? You must have thought about it a little bit."

“I haven’t decided yet, but I’ll probably continue the family business and run a dance studio.

My family's dance studio, although not as famous as the Qianhualiu in Shaoge, is also quite famous and really needs my help."

Xiangzi said distressedly: "But I am very interested in the stage and actors, so I am in a dilemma."

"In that case, do you want to sign with my company after you graduate?"

Youren smiled and said, "A dance studio and an acting career are not mutually exclusive. You can help out while being an actor. As long as you become famous, you can attract more students to the studio."

Xiangzi thought for a moment, "You're right..."

He felt that the opportunity had come, so he looked at her with sincere eyes: "Xiangzi, I really need you, come and help me."

Her heartbeat quickened at Yuto's blunt words: "This..."

She hesitated for a few times, and then felt that she could no longer be so passive, so she said proudly:

"Hmph... Hmph! So, Yuto-san likes me so much? As expected of Lady Kaori, she's incredibly charming!"

She said this to hide her panic.

Yuto smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have always liked your acting, it is very charming."

"Woo!"
