Strength comes first, Horikita Suzune is my childhood sweetheart

After leaving the cool and comfortable drink shop, Shirabuchi and Ichinose Honami immediately felt a surge of heat.

"It's so hot. It's only early April and it's already so hot. I don't know how hot it will be in July, the hottest month."

After complaining about the temperature, Ichinose Honoha opened the parasol, and then walked towards Shirafuchi with her sleek legs wrapped in black stockings, letting the parasol include Shirafuchi as well.

"Let me take it." Bai Yuan stretched out his hand towards Ichinose Honami.

"Okay, thank you for your help." With a bright smile, Ichinose Hoba handed the parasol in her hand to Bai Yuan.

Then, Ichinose Honami freed her hands and fanned her snow-white neck with her white palms.

"Chimiya-san, are we going to the Keyaki shopping center now?"

"Yes, let's go there for a while, and then I'll treat you to lunch, how about that?"

"Yeah!" Ichinose Hoba nodded, and her bright smile became even brighter because Bai Yuan planned to have lunch with her.

"We can have lunch together, but it's not appropriate to ask you to pay for it. Chimiya-san, let's split the bill."

"AA? Can't I treat you?"

"It's not that it's bad, it's just that I can't take advantage of you, so AA is the best choice," Ichinose Honami explained.

"Oh, you took advantage of me this time, next time you can let me take advantage of you." Bai Yuan said with a smile.

Chapter 135 She is definitely not a superficial girl!

Bai Yuan's words were full of ambiguity, and Ichinose Hoba's cheeks couldn't help but flush. Fortunately, the sunlight was particularly strong now, so her flushed cheeks were not obvious.

"Qimiya-san...do you mean that I should treat you to a meal next time?"

"Yeah, is there any other meaning?" Bai Yuan said jokingly with a smile.

Ichinose Hoba heard that Shirabuchi was teasing her, and she gave Shirabuchi a coquettish glare. Her heartbeat quickened and she stretched out her sleek legs wrapped in black stockings.

"Let's go to the shopping mall and enjoy the air conditioning."

"Ah."

Shirafuchi followed Ichinose Honami holding a parasol and covered her within the range of the parasol.

It took Shirabuchi and Ichinose Honami about twenty minutes to arrive at the Keyaki Shopping Center. It was almost noon and the place was particularly busy, even busier than on Saturday.

"Qiangong-san, Area A on the first floor is the decoration area. I bought my parasol there too. Let's go there now."

"No rush, let's go have lunch first, otherwise we will have to find a restaurant with vacancies at lunch time." Bai Yuan, who already had experience, said.

"How about having lunch first?" Ichinose Hoba touched her flat belly. "That's fine."

It just so happened that Ichinose Honami was also hungry. In order to lose weight, she only ate half full this morning.

Shirabuchi and Ichinose Honami walked into a restaurant that seemed to have a good atmosphere. Two boys were looking at them not far away.

Shibata Sa stared at the smiling Ichinose Hoba in amazement. He said in shock, "Kanzaki! Am I dazzled? Isn't that girl in the blue shirt Ichinose from our class?"

Kanzaki Ryuji was not as shocked as Shibata Sa, and he replied calmly, "You are not dazzled, that is indeed Ichinose."

"That's not right! Why is Ichinose talking and laughing with a boy... Wait, I remember that boy came to our Class B before, what was his name?" Shibata Sa began to ponder.

"Senmiya Hakubuchi." Kanzaki Ryuji said.

"Yes, yes, yes, how come Ichinose came into the restaurant talking and laughing with him? They can't be on a date!" There was a sour taste in Shibata Sa's tone.

He was envious.

In just three days, Ichinose Honami's brightness and cheerfulness, coupled with her nearly perfect figure, conquered almost two-thirds of the students in Class B.

Shibata Sa is one of those two-thirds of boys.

But Ryuji Kanzaki happened to be not in that two-thirds. Although he admired Ichinose Honami's cheerful personality, he had no other thoughts about her.

Kanzaki Ryuji calmly replied, "Isn't it normal for Ichinose to date Chimiya Shirafuchi? After all, he is so handsome."

"Well, Ichinose is not such a superficial girl. She definitely didn't go on a date with Shirafuchi Chimiya for dinner just because he is handsome." Shibata Sa explained for his goddess.

"Shibata, this is even worse. If Ichinose didn't have lunch with Chimiya Shirafuchi because he was handsome, then she would have had lunch with him only if she liked him."

Kanzaki Ryuji's words were like a sharp arrow that pierced Shibata Sa's heart...

"Ahhh, Kanzaki, now I think Ichinose must be a very superficial girl! She definitely isn't in love with that Chimiya Hakubuchi!"

Kanzaki Ryuji was speechless. Shibata was really a fickle guy.

Shirabuchi and Ichinose Honami, who had already entered the restaurant, sat face to face. They were oblivious to the commotion outside the restaurant and were flipping through the restaurant's menu.

After lunch, Shirabuchi and Ichinose Honami left the restaurant. Judging from their satisfied expressions, they were very satisfied with the food in this restaurant.

Bai Yuan glanced at the clock in the shopping mall. It was almost twelve o'clock, and there was only one hour left before the meeting time agreed with Karuizawa Kei.

However, the place where Karuizawa Kei and Shirafuchi had agreed to meet happened to be the Keyaki Shopping Center, and Shirafuchi was now in the shopping center.

"Come on, Senmiya-san, let's go pick out a parasol."

"Okay." Bai Yuan nodded, and under the guidance of Ichinose Honami, he went to the jewelry area on the first floor of the shopping mall.

Shirabuchi was choosing a parasol, while Ichinose Hoba was looking at the decorations hanging on the pegboard with interest. She wanted to take this opportunity to buy some decorations for herself.

"It just so happens that Senmiya-san is around, so after you put on the accessories, you can ask him if they look good."

Thinking of this, Ichinose Honoki suddenly froze, because she saw a hairpin...

A very familiar hairpin...

Ichinose Honami will never forget this hairpin.

Because it was because of this that Ichinose Honami committed the theft...

"Didn't the store say that this hairpin would no longer be sold after a while? Why is it here?"

Ichinose Hoba muttered to herself in a daze, "No, the store near my home won't sell it anymore, but that doesn't mean it won't appear here."

"The school must have purchased a batch of these hairpins and then sent them to the school for sale."

Figuring out the reason, Ichinose Honami reached out her trembling hand towards the hairpin, and her fingertips touched the hairpin hanging on the pegboard.

Just like touching a leaky electric wire, Ichinose Honami reflexively pulled her hand back after touching the hairpin.

"..." With a complicated look in her eyes, Ichinose Honami rubbed her fingertips, which were covered with a light layer of dust. It was obvious that this hairpin had been hanging here for sale for some time.

No one has paid attention to it, so it is covered with a layer of dust.

Bai Yuan, who had already chosen a parasol, turned his head to look in the direction of Ichinose Hoba. He saw Ichinose Hoba staring at the hairpin in a daze.

Bai Yuan walked over and said to Ichinose Hoba with a smile, "Ichinose, you are looking at this hairpin like this, do you like it? How about I buy it for you?"

"Consider it your reward for accompanying me to buy a parasol."

"Ah? No... I don't like it and don't want it at all!" Ichinose Honami's face was full of resistance, and she even took two steps back.

Shirafuchi looked surprised at Ichinose Honami's strange reaction.

This pink-haired girl has always been bright and cheerful, and has never shown such resistance, or even... fear.

Is she afraid of this hairpin?

Normal people wouldn't be afraid of inanimate objects like hairpins, unless something bad happened to Ichinose Honami involving it.

Otherwise, Ichinose Honami wouldn't have had this expression about this hairpin.

Chapter 136: Do you want to hear the story of the hairpin?

Ichinose Hoba, whose heart was filled with confused emotions, saw the parasol in Shirafuchi's hand.

"Chimiya-san, you've already chosen your parasol, right? Let's go check out!"

After saying this, Ichinose Honami grabbed Shirafuchi's arm and pulled him away.

Bai Yuan did not resist Ichinose Honoki's pull. He followed Ichinose Honoki's slightly hurried steps and left the area.

As they walked, Shirafuchi and Ichinose Hoba remained silent, and Ichinose Hoba never let go of Shirafuchi's arm.

Just like a drowning person grabbing at his only lifeline, Ichinose Honami grabbed Shirabuchi's arm tightly and forcefully.

As Shirafuchi was about to leave the shopping mall, he had to speak up, "Ichinose, I haven't paid my personal points for the parasol yet. I have to go to the counter."

"Yes!"

Ichinose Hoba woke up as if from a dream, and she hurriedly pulled Shirobuchi towards the checkout counter, fearing that she had harmed Shirobuchi and 'stolen something'.

After Bai Yuan successfully paid the bill, Ichinose Honami breathed a sigh of relief, and her plump, heavy breasts rose and fell like surging waves.

Bai Yuan looked at Ichinose Honami, who breathed a sigh of relief, with some subtlety.

Ichinose Honami also noticed Shirafuchi's strange look, and she couldn't help but reveal a slightly embarrassed expression, "I'm sorry, Senmiya-san, you must think I'm weird."

"How should I put it? It's a little strange, but not much."

Ichinose Honami smiled. She was amused by Bai Yuan's description, and the chaotic emotions in her heart that were aroused by the hairpin also subsided a lot.

"If you don't mind, Senmiya, would you like to listen to my story about that hairpin?" Ichinose Honami pointed in the direction of the hairpin.

"Of course I don't mind." Bai Yuan replied very cooperatively.

In fact, Bai Yuan not only didn't mind, he was also very curious.

Bai Yuan wanted to know why a mere hairpin could make Ichinose Honami, a bright and cheerful person, so flustered.

Ichinose Honami has a story, and even if Shirafuchi doesn't have any wine, he still wants to hear her story.

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly."

"Yeah." Ichinose Hoba nodded slightly.

Shirabuchi and Ichinose Honami went to the bench on one side of the shopping mall. No one was sitting there, and there were large and lush beech trees blocking the sunlight, making it a good place to rest.

"This is it."

Bai Yuan looked around and found that even though this was on the edge of the shopping mall, there were still a lot of people around, so it was not a suitable place to tell stories.

"Is this place okay? There are a lot of people here. Shall we go find a drink shop and sit down?"

"No, just stay here."

Since Ichinose Honami doesn't mind the crowds and noise here, Bai Yuan has no objection either.

Ichinose Honami gently lifted the hem of her skirt with her hands and gracefully sat down on the bench. She patted the empty seat next to her.

"Come here, Senmiya-san."

"Ah."

Bai Yuan sat next to Ichinose Honami. Because the distance between them was a little close, they could breathe in the scent emanating from each other's body.

The scent emanating from Ichinose Honami is very fragrant, it is an unknown floral scent, elegant and pleasant.

Ichinose Hoba breathed in the breath of Shirafuchi, which was the fresh breath of nature after the rain. Breathing in such breath, Ichinose Hoba couldn't help but feel peaceful and comfortable.

Ichinose Honami tilted her head and looked at Shirafuchi's profile. The boy's profile was very handsome, with strong yet delicate lines, and there was a unique charm that belonged to men.

Right now, Ichinose Hoba kind of wants to... lean on Shirafuchi's shoulder...

However, Ichinose Honami felt that if she really did that rashly, it would definitely scare the boy next to her, so she suppressed her inner feelings and impulses.

"Qiangong, what I am going to tell you is my past experience. You must listen to me quietly and not interrupt me."

"Don't worry, Ichinose. I promise not to speak until you finish speaking." Bai Yuan promised.

"Hmm..." Ichinose Hoba responded softly, her eyes as blue as the sea became blurred, and she gently opened her lips as she began to recall the past.

“I used to steal things.”

“……” Bai Yuan, who remained silent, raised his eyebrows. When he first met Ichinose Honami, he wondered if she or her acquaintances had stolen something.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yuan's guess at that time was completely correct, and Ichinose Honami really did steal things.

Immersed in her memories, Ichinose Honami continued speaking, revealing the crimes buried deep in her heart one by one.

Bai Yuan acted as a qualified listener, listening quietly to Ichinose Hoba's story.
