"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Ms. Garcia."

Just when the system fell silent because of Hoshino Aoi's words, a gentle voice came from behind Hoshino Aoi, causing her to smile immediately.

"Mr. Shinde."

In the setting sun, the girl's smile was sweet, and even her face, which had seemed a little pale in the past, looked rosy under the reflection of the sunset glow.

People are really more beautiful than flowers...

Unfortunately, his eyesight is not very good.

Vermouth raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, curled the corners of her lips, and narrowed her eyes, hiding the coldness in her eyes that should not appear on Akai Tomoaki.

Solana didn't seem to notice his displeasure at the moment. After seeing him, she immediately ran towards him with a rose in her hand.

"I knew I could ask Xiaolan for help and I'm sure I could call Mr. Arata out."

She tilted her head, looking somewhat smug.

Upon seeing this, Vermouth's eyes couldn't help but darken even more, but on the surface she showed a helpless smile, which looked quite doting.

"What? You're talking as if I only agreed to your invitation because of Xiaolan."

He lowered his eyes slightly, glancing at Solana with a gentle yet somewhat helpless look. Seeing that she had stopped and stared at him blankly because of his words, Tomoaki Aride's eyes wandered, as if he was embarrassed by what he had just said.

Seeing this, Solana's eyes suddenly lit up.

She moved forward and backward, and in two steps she was next to 'Aniide Tomoaki', one hand on 'his' shoulder, and the other hand gently pinched 'his' chin, staring at 'him' with her deep blue eyes, as if she wanted to see through the surface and into his eyes.

"So... Mr. Shinide, what you're saying is... as long as it's my invitation, even if it doesn't require Xiaolan's help, you'll agree?"

There was deep joy in her voice, and even the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were slowly showing excitement, as if the ambiguous words "Niide Tomoaki" were the best response in her heart, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Seeing this, as if afraid of being burned by the passion in her eyes, 'Niide Tomoaki' looked away uncomfortably, the fingers of his right hand moved slightly, and the next second he raised it and gently grasped the hand of 'Solana' that was pinching his chin.

"Ahem...that..."

He wanted to say something, but after a long while, he couldn't utter a single word. However, from the way he carefully took Solana's hand away, one could understand what he meant.

Solana had no intention of opposing him, and when she saw him gently remove her hand from his chin, she simply followed his instructions and let go.

But just when he was about to let go, he turned his palm over, and his slender fingers slipped through the gap, just interlocking with his fingers and holding them firmly.

'Tomoaki Aride' was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that he had just gotten rid of the ambiguous posture led by 'Solana' in the first second, and the next second she held his hand and changed to another ambiguous way.

However, when he met Solana's smiling eyes, his face turned slightly red, and he acquiesced to her actions at the moment.

Seeing this, Solana's smile grew even wider.

She handed the flowers in her hand to 'him', but the hands interlocked with each other showed no intention of letting go.

"Here, flowers are given to a beautiful lady, please accept them."

'Tomoaki Niide' has become numb to her flower offensive.

The first time, 'he' would protest that this was a boy's way of pursuing a girl, and the second time he would refuse in a nice way, but now he could accept the bouquet of roses without batting an eyelid.

After seeing him accept the flowers, even though Solana had known this would be the outcome, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, under his gaze, her brows gradually curved.

"Come to think of it, I never seem to know what kind of flowers you like, Mr. Arata. I've been giving you roses unilaterally, and sometimes I'm really worried that you won't like it, but..."

Solana looked down at the 25 roses he held in his arms, and a hint of ambiguous emotion flashed across his lowered eyes.

"This just represents my feelings for you, so after thinking it over, I decided to give you roses."

Vermouth was a little confused.

She didn't have any particular preference for flowers, so she just knew that red roses represented passionate love. As for what the specific number of roses represented, she was not very clear.

Therefore, she seemed a little confused about what Solana said at this moment.

Fortunately, with her current identity, the other party was also not very clear about the language of flowers. In addition, 'Solana' had never seen the real Akai Tomoaki, so even if she appeared a little confused, it didn't matter.

but……

Vermouth slowly lowered her eyes.

His gaze lingered for a moment on the hand interlocked with Solana's, then slowly shifted his gaze away.

She wondered if she should look up what the 25 roses represented.
