Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Valentine's Day
After finally getting through the difficult and uncomfortable first week, by the second week, Xiangcheng felt that the air was filled with the scent of spring.
It’s nothing, Valentine’s Day is coming.
Xiangcheng had little idea of celebrating Valentine's Day. Even in the past, only a few cute schoolmates would give her a few pieces of cake and wish her good luck in the competition.
Many of her classmates have boyfriends from other schools, so this day would turn into a group asking for leave, while some individuals (like her) would continue training as usual.
This is the first time I spend Valentine's Day with a boyfriend.
After much harassment, Rika finally agreed to come over to her house and help her make chocolates. Despite Yukimura's complaining tone, Kasumi refused his invitation without hesitation.
"It's very simple. Let's melt the chocolate first. Put the chocolate bowl into a small pot and slowly add hot water along the edge of the pot...slowly..."
The first step was completed successfully.
Li Xiang saw that it was almost done, so she placed the washed strawberries on a small bowl with toothpicks and said, "Now you can pour the chocolate."
Xiangcheng picked up the chocolate bowl and tried to wrap the strawberries with chocolate coating at a steady pace, following Lixiang's rhythm. After doing this several times, she decorated them with chocolate pens and shiny little candies, and finally put them in the refrigerator.
"This is so girly," Xiangcheng admired her own work and praised it repeatedly: "I am really a genius."
"Really?" Li Xiang was speechless: "Who was it that almost knelt down to beg me yesterday?"
"Hehe, you're the best!"
Rika asked again, "There are still a lot of ingredients. Do you want to make it a little more difficult? Yukimura always receives a lot of chocolates every year!"
Xiangcheng shrugged, indicating she didn't care. "We can give it a try, but... I don't think Jingshi would mind if my work wasn't as polished as others."
Li Xiang said enviously: "I wish I could be as confident as you."
"It's not confidence," Xiangcheng said, pulling out another mold. "How should I put it... I think I trust him more. Also, I think you just overthink things."
Lixiang shook her head: "There's nothing you can do about thinking too much."
That's why I envy such confidence...
Xiangcheng was puzzled by the mold in his hand: "Should I pour it directly in? Should I add some filling or something?"
Lixiang looked at the materials on the table: "Why is there mint..."
Inspired by this, Xiang Cheng carefully placed the mint leaves in the middle of the mold and poured a layer of white chocolate on top. “I almost forgot!”
Rika couldn't imagine what this strange smell would be.
Until she saw Xiangcheng take out a bag of popping candy.
"What are you doing?" Rika was horrified.
"Hehe," Xiangcheng looked up: "Let's give everyone a little shock!"
Rika silently memorized the style of this batch of chocolates - she would never try it even if she was beaten to death!
So the first victim became Yuihara's father who was returning home from get off work.
Looking at the mountain of chocolates on the dining table, he thought that he wouldn't be caught if he secretly ate one, so he accurately picked out the version with popping candy and popping beads from the unpackaged chocolates.
The moment the outer layer of chocolate melted in his mouth, crackling sounds of electricity exploded in his mouth, making it so shocking that Mr. Jieyuan couldn't open his mouth or swallow it.
His face, which always wore an elegant, reliable expression that was trusted by patients, suddenly became distorted. After the shock subsided, he rushed to the bathroom to rinse his mouth.
It was reckless.
Xiangcheng hurried down from upstairs to get the wrapping paper, and just happened to meet her father's condemning gaze.
"Wow, Dad, you're not going to steal my chocolate, are you?"
Jieyuan's father pretended to be serious: "No!"
Xiangcheng glanced at the table with suspicion: "Then I'll pack some for you guys later! Try the special chocolate I made~"
Dad shook his head quickly: "No, no, well... I'd better share it with Yukimura-san. I'm sure he will be happy."
——He was as happy as when he first received spicy chocolate from Mikiko when he was in school.
It’s worth mentioning that this divergent thinking about food can actually be inherited?
I actually sympathized with Yukimura in advance.
"Is it delicious? This is my first time making chocolate!"
Xiangcheng looked at Yukimura Seiichi's expression expectantly. After controlling the popping candy in his mouth, Yukimura struggled to adjust his expression: "It's delicious! Xiangcheng, do you want to have a piece?"
"No, I clearly remember making 36 pieces, but when I counted them, I found one piece missing, so I can't eat the rest. I'll share it with everyone when I get home!"
Yukimura nodded, and seeing the vending machine at the corner of the street, he asked, "I'm feeling a little thirsty. Would you like a drink, Xiangcheng?"
"Soda!"
Walking closer, Yukimura inserted a coin, took out a drink, and after taking a big gulp, he finally drove away the strange feeling in his mouth.
When he faced Xiangcheng again, he returned to normal.
Xiangcheng was very curious: "I wonder how many chocolates you will receive in Jingshi today?"
Yukimura tilted his head: "Are you looking forward to it?"
"Yeah, yeah," Xiangcheng shook his arm, "I made a bet with Lixiang yesterday!"
"So how much do you bet I'll receive?"
"Anyway, there's definitely not a shortage. Rika even said you didn't have any, how is that possible!"
Yukimura Seiichi sighed, "I don't know what you're so excited about... Are you happy that I received Valentine's Day chocolates from someone else?"
Xiangcheng: "I'm so happy to receive gifts from girls! I used to look forward to opening the cabinet the most. The chocolates made by the girls under my school were so exquisite that I was so scared that I didn't dare to make them myself. I had to give the finished products as gifts..."
I forgot that Xiangcheng goes to an all-girls school.
Yukimura Seiichi thought to himself.
"And it doesn't necessarily have to be confession chocolate. Maybe it's friendship chocolate or cheering chocolate. It means everyone is willing to encourage you to become better~"
Yukimura smiled and accepted the lesson: "I am narrow-minded."
——Xiangcheng would instinctively choose to protect the girls instead of being jealous.
Although I was a little disappointed with her reaction, but... I also liked her innocence and kindness.
So after opening the empty cabinet, he smiled even more happily.
"Ah..." Xiangcheng's face fell after losing the bet: "There really isn't one!"
Yukimura had no choice but to comfort him: "Maybe everyone thinks it's because I have a girlfriend."
"So you don't even have friendship chocolates anymore?"
"It's fine……"
Xiangcheng rummaged through the large bag she brought today and finally found the box of chocolate strawberries. "I was going to give you this at the seat, but I'll give it to you now."
Yukimura smiled as he saw the handwritten words "Happy First Valentine's Day" on the box.
No matter what... this was the only gift he really wanted to receive. "And..." Xiangcheng took out another gift box: "I prepared it carefully!"
She had a look on her face that said "Praise me, praise me!" Yukimura couldn't help but peck the corner of her mouth gently while no one was around.
"Thank you for the gift and chocolates from Xiangcheng. I understand your kindness."
Xiangcheng went to her locker contentedly to change her shoes.
The moment the cabinet door was opened, a mountain of chocolates poured down like a roaring sea. Xiangcheng scrambled to catch it: "Ahhh, Jingshi, come and help--"
Yukichi tried hard to block the chocolates in the cabinet to prevent them from sliding down, and Yukimura squatted down to pick up the ones that fell on the ground.
Many of the packaging boxes had words like "Come on Yukimura & Yuihara" written on them, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
Such wonderful classmates.
Until he picked up a purple greeting card.
He suppressed his doubts, put the card in his pocket, and then collected the other chocolates and piled them up.
In the classroom, all the girls were distributing the chocolates they made to each other, and occasionally gave some to the boys they were on good terms with.
Only Yukimura faced the scene of no one paying attention to him, bearing the sympathetic gaze of Kaoru.
Yukimura was still struggling with that matter, but he thought speechlessly - can't Xiangcheng see it so far?
Everyone tacitly avoided the boys who had girlfriends!
Xiangcheng just excitedly joined in the girls' happy time, which lasted until everyone looked at Yukimura with sympathy.
Xiangcheng didn't understand. She felt sorry for Yukimura for not receiving any chocolate. What were people sympathizing with?
The next second, the girls who had eaten her chocolate all started looking for water to drink.
Li Xiang, who saw through it but kept silent, put the chocolate back in her hand and said, "Xiang Cheng hasn't eaten it yet, right? Why don't you try your own cooking too~"
"Okay, then Jingshi and I will eat it together this afternoon!"
Rika also sympathized with Yukimura.
At noon, the two of them rested in the rooftop garden. Xiangcheng was in a good mood and helped Yukimura water the flowers.
After finishing his work, Yukimura remembered the greeting card in his pocket and asked, "Kaguya, who is Kawasari?"
Then he saw Xiangcheng's expression was distorted in a way he had never seen before, with his features tightly wrinkled together: "Why did you mention her?"
"What's wrong?"
"She..." Xiangcheng hesitated whether to say it.
Yukimura took out the greeting card with the words "Love you forever" written on it.
Xiang Cheng said embarrassedly, "It's a former schoolmate. She might have some misunderstanding and always thought that I like girls. I don't know how she got this thing in."
"Ah, it seems... I have to pay attention to the girls around Xiangcheng from now on, right?"
Xiangcheng tapped his forehead: "You have to trust me."
Yukimura touched her finger and said, "You are so kind."
"No way... you're the only one who feels that way, right? Sometimes I think, how could you possibly like me?"
Yukimura kissed her cheek and brought her into his arms: "Would you like to reminisce?"
Xiang Cheng buried her head in the side of his neck and shook her head: "You are mine anyway."
"Hmm... so domineering." Yukimura chuckled and pressed down on the back of her head to prevent her from getting up.
Xiangcheng took out the chocolate from her pocket and dodged Yukimura's hand: "Would you like another one?"
"Okay." Yukimura agreed easily and ate the piece from Xiangcheng's hand.
The moment he felt the outer layer melt, he suddenly pulled Xiangcheng closer, grabbed the back of her head, and forced her to open her mouth. Then he pushed the already jumping sandwich into her mouth with his tongue.
Stopping Xiangcheng's attempt to escape, the intense stimulation of the popping candy bounced back and forth in their mouths. As their tongues tangled, it was unclear who swallowed it last.
Yukimura Seiichi suddenly bit the tip of Xiangcheng's tongue.
He gently brushed past her with satisfaction as she whimpered weakly.
