life in the world

Although there was a smile on his face, he couldn't help feeling even more troubled in his heart——

Looking back on his past memories, even though the food he cooked for everyone was delicious, but Xuanxia's lunch box is "different" from it, and he is really not sure whether he can bear the heavy heart contained in it.

"Speaking of which, Qianqiu and Dongyu are they...?"

"I left the extra leftovers in the refrigerator for them."

The leftovers are too pitiful, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this statement.

Qianqiu is really pitiful, as for Dongnai?

She shouldn't be overjoyed to eat the leftovers of the bento prepared for his brother, right?

"Here, here are chopsticks and miso soup."

Xuanxia took out the chopsticks that were in the scabbard-like cloth bag and handed them over, and then took out a thermos bottle from the square bag, the kind that can be used as a small bowl with the lid removed, very practical.

However, at this moment, he noticed something was not quite right.

"Chopsticks...only one pair?"

Don't forget to bring it!

The bento was prepared with such care, but he only brought a pair of tableware, and he would never believe that he had missed it.

This simply belongs to "Sima Zhao's heart is known to all passers-by."

"This, this is part of dating practice!"

She faltered and defended, her embarrassed look was not convincing at all.

"Stupid Harutaki... In short, remember that you can only leave a straw when you buy drinks, and you only need a fork when you buy desserts, so that you can get closer to girls by feeding each other!"

Really?He doesn't believe it.

"I think this will only be disgusted and disgusted by the other party."

He feebly complained about Xuanxia's dating skills, even though he himself had a good time with Nogami-san before, there was still a certain difference in nature.

But having said that, he couldn't help thinking of the situation at noon that day when Izumi Nogami fed him with a disgusted expression. The inexplicable pleasure was indeed quite subtle.

"Although Haru Taki is indeed perverted and obscene, and you often tell some disgusting jokes, but I... I won't despise you..."

I'm not asking how you feel!

This time he doesn't even want to complain about it, his younger sister Xuanxia even ate the "practice dating" setting by the way.

"never mind."

Holding the chopsticks, he folded his palms together and performed routine etiquette with the other party.

""I'm gonna start now. ""

"Here, Xuanxia, ​​take the first bite, after all, it is your carefully prepared food."

As he spoke, he brought a piece of pickled radish to Xuanxia's mouth.

"It's for you..."

"I prefer to eat it with the saliva of a beautiful girl."

Seeing that Xuanxia was hesitating, he directly stimulated the other party with a joking tone, and then received a look that turned from embarrassment into anger.

"It's disgusting."

Although she was saying disgusting words, Xuanxia poked her head forward and directly put the white radish pieces together with the tip of the chopsticks into her mouth.

Shouldn't the radish be bitten off carefully?

Just as he, Harutaki Xingchuan was in a daze, Xuanxia who was sitting opposite quickly grabbed the wooden chopsticks, then moved her body to his side, leaned on his shoulder and picked up the second piece of carrot and handed it over.

"Hmph, now it's your turn."

"Eat and eat..."

It's no big deal to use a pair of chopsticks with his sister, he thought comfortingly, biting down the piece of white radish at the same time.

crunch.

Sour, cool, crisp and juicy, it is a very good appetizer.

"Next is tamagoyaki and tofu."

As soon as the words were finished, Xuanxia took advantage of the opportunity that the chopsticks were still in her hands, and ate a piece of tamagoyaki first, and then picked up the remaining piece and brought it to his mouth.

"Can it still be like this?"

"Tch, idiot Harutaki, you can't think of it?"

What a despicable girl.

"Hmm... I think it should taste better when it's just out of the pan."

To make Xuan Xia happy, he pretended to be angry, and ate Tamagoyaki with a face of reluctance.

Soft and fluffy, with a light soy sauce aroma, but——

"Salty tamagoyaki? Ayaka, you actually betrayed Kanto."

"Who told Harutaki that you said during breakfast that you prefer salty scrambled eggs..."

Little sister Xuanxia's casual complaint made his heart beat half a beat slower.

Not only was he cheating on feeding, but now he said such cheating words to beat him down? !

It's too much, he has to admit that if there is the same blood volume record in the game, I am afraid that Xuanxia will lose most of his blood volume just with that blow just now.

"I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly..."

To be honest, in his memory, only parents can be so considerate and considerate.

girlfriend?It's nice to remember to prepare a surprise on your birthday.

"I didn't write it down specifically, it's just that as a cook, you should pay attention to the taste of the guests."

Please don't say such a standard tsundere speech, it's too cute!

After sister Xuanxia's random punches, he felt that his blood volume was cut off by one-third in an instant, and if he came again two or three times, he would probably be completely knocked out.

"I understand, I understand. In short, let's concentrate on eating first."

Although he likes to see Nogami-san's shy expression when being teased, most of the time he is not prepared to expose or take the opportunity to make fun of the other party.He basically disagrees with the method of "torturing" girls for pleasure.

After all, he is not the bad character of Nogami who likes to bully others.

Next, the two brothers and sisters took one bite at a time, watched the cherry blossoms falling from time to time under the cherry blossom tree, and ate the entire luxurious bento slowly.

During lunch, due to the conspicuous combination of the handsome guy and the beautiful girl, he easily attracted the attention of many people around.There is envy, but there is also jealousy, and there are even embarrassing scenes where boys stare at Ayaka for too long and are reprimanded by their girlfriends after they find out.

As for him, when Harutaki Xingchuan noticed a boy secretly looking at him, he immediately raised his arms to hug Xuanxia, ​​causing the girl to complain for a while with her face flushed.But... Thinking of the other party being stuffed with "dog food", the kind of envy and jealousy that gnawed his back molars, he immediately felt double the joy in his heart.

"Now I am Chiyoda Daiichi Affectionate."

"Hey, he's obviously a scumbag, but he's ashamed to say he's affectionate..."

Having said that, a scene could not help appearing in his mind——

Sifang and Nogami were hugging left and right, one of them was holding a soup bowl and the other was feeding him with chopsticks...

Not good, when the time comes, it will not only be as simple as the audience crushing the molars, but his "scumbag" will probably have his molars knocked out.

Chapter 87--Sakura

The spring breeze was blowing, and the spring day was hey. After eating lunch and taking a break, he followed his younger sister Ayaka Hoshikawa to the next location of "Dating Practice".

He, Hoshikawa Harutaki thought that Xuanxia would hold him to sit for a while longer, but he didn't expect the other party to leave so quickly and decisively.However, as the time gets closer to noon, more and more people picnic on the lawn of Kitanomaru Park.

Cherry blossom viewing is too lonely when there are few people, but it is extremely noisy when there are too many people.Children frolicking and running, groups of young people chatting and laughing... He, who was still a little reluctant to part, suddenly lost the intention to continue sitting down.

"Aren't you going to the station to take the train?"

He walked beside his younger sister, Xuanxia, ​​and naturally held the girl's hand. Looking at the route heading to the other end of the park, he couldn't help asking about the next date in doubt.

"Think about what's around Kitanomaru Park, learn to find a date by yourself, don't ask girls everything, idiot."

Xuanxia said disgusting words, but she didn't notice his hand-holding, as if it should be like this.

Would this be a good sign?

Some things get worse the more you think about it, it's not necessarily a bad thing to be confused.

He didn't dare to continue to think deeply, so he hurriedly skipped the boredom and anxiety in his heart in that joking tone as always.

"National Museum of Science and Technology? Do you want to experience driving a spaceship together?"

"Hey... I think you should be thrown into the earthquake simulation device, idiot Harutaki, and shake these silly jokes out of your head."

The younger sister Xuanxia tightened the shoulder straps of the backpack in front of her, and sentenced him to death without mercy.

"Most people have dreamed of becoming a cosmic being when they were young, right?"

"But Harutaki, you are almost 17 years old, and you are still so childish..."

"A man is a boy until he dies~"

Even after graduating and entering the society, he had long lost his intention to play games, but when he got his first official salary, he still bought himself a PlayStation and Switch to satisfy his childhood regrets.

It's a pity, regret is regret, just as he thought before——

Regret represents depression, regret every time I think about it, a gap in past memory that can almost never be completely filled.

"And the universe, the starry sky, the moon and so on, don't you think it's very romantic to match the word 'dating'? Even if it's naive, as long as you're dating a cute girl like Ayaka, you can just push and swing very happy."

"Stupid... stupid Harutaki..."

Xuanxia turned her head away and ignored his appearance. Although it was very cute, it also made him reflect on whether he was a little too hard.

He secretly thought, recalling what good spots around Kitanomaru Park are suitable for dating.

Budokan and Science and Technology Museum are obviously not good places to date girls, so the rest is...

"Thousands of Birds."

Looking at the long river with rippling blue waves and the luxuriant cherry blossom trees on the embankments on both sides, he understood why his younger sister Ayaka did not choose to go to Shinjuku Gyoen, but to have a picnic in Kitanomaru Park where there are more people.

Chidorigafuchi is one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in China. If you want to romantically go boating on the river with girls and wander under the cherry blossom trees with the waves, you must experience the queuing experience similar to the popular items in Disneyland.

There are only two ways to avoid long queues, either come early in the morning to rent a boat, or queue up when most tourists go to have lunch or dinner.

Obviously, Ayaka is the second way to go.

"Hmph, how's it going? It's good to come and line up after dinner, right? Eleven o'clock is not early at all."

She triumphantly showed off her wit to him.

However, compared to Xuanxia's cleverness of queuing up to rent a boat after eating lunch early, what made his heart beat faster was the other party's intention to carefully prepare the date plan.

Valentine's Day gift, March [-] gift, birthday gift, weekend date, holiday date...even supper date——

He used to be the one to do the hard work every time, not only to search for a suitable place, but also to consider all kinds of things that had to be paid attention to on the way.

Although girlfriends usually return him harshly in the room, it also makes him inevitably get used to being the one who pays.

Just like the soft side that Nogami sometimes reveals, Sifang Diezi gradually releases her innocent, lively and playful nature, and her sister Xuanxia cares and cares unintentionally...

The contrast caused by inadvertence, he, Harutaki Xingchuan did not think that he could get rid of such a temptation at all.

Since they came in time for lunch, the two of them didn't wait long at the pier before they got a boat that could be rented.

There are three types of cruise ships in Qiandoriyuan, which are electric, pedal, and paddle.

He and Xuanxia chose paddle boats together, because both electric and pedal boats have obstructive ceilings. If you want to watch the scenery and take pictures, paddle boats like canoes are obviously the best choice.

He paid 10 yen for three 800-minute rentals, got on the boat first, and then helped Ayaka step into the cabin.

"Chun Taki, you have to remember, you must not keep girls waiting for a date. Especially for this kind of dating project that is easy to queue up, if you can make an appointment in advance, you must make an appointment at a suitable time. If you can't make an appointment in advance, you must find a place with a short queue period……"

"Ayaka, this is your first date too, right? I feel quite skilled, um, very good."

For girls who do things with their heart, timely praise is indispensable.

"...Yeah, I'm not that proficient... Anyway, just now, the idiot Harutaki's gentlemanly behavior can score 9 points, but occasionally, you have to be a little willful!"

He grasped the wooden paddles on both sides of the boat, and while paddling skillfully, he thought about the reminder from his sister Xuanxia.

Do you want to be a little willful now and then?
