Luo Chen had just opened the car door when he heard this. He turned around and glanced at the girl standing at the door with a complicated look in her eyes, and smiled, "Of course not, don't you believe me?"
Yumiko Miura bit her lip and shook her head: "No, it's just that I think this kind of thing is a bit too unbelievable."
"is it?"
Luo Chen stroked his chin and smiled, "Perhaps, but I only used a trick. Anyway, you can rest assured that you will still be the Fire Queen, one of the top ten beauties at Xiuzhi Academy, when Monday comes next week."
Looking at Luo Chen's resolute tone, Miura Yumiko felt a sense of utter relief.
For some reason, she has become particularly willing to trust Luo Chen now.
Especially since yesterday, when the two broke through the last barrier between them.
"it is good!"
Yumiko Miura smiled and nodded gently, saying, "Then I'll wait for you to come back in Adachi Ward."
"Don't make such a cute face, or I won't want to leave."
Luo Chen turned around, both amused and exasperated, and then gently kissed Miura Yumiko's chin.
Heaven knows how charming and adorable Yumiko Miura, who always presents a queen-like demeanor at school, is when she reveals her cute and shy side as a girlfriend in private.
Yumiko Miura blushed slightly and awkwardly turned her head away, saying, "You should hurry up and go. If you're going to Kyoto, you'll probably have to leave very early tomorrow morning, right?"
"That's true."
Okay, goodnight.
Luo Chen nodded, said goodbye, got into the car, and quickly started the car, leaving the not-so-wide street.
Yumiko Miura leaned against the iron fence outside her door, gazing silently in the direction Luo Chen had left, lost in thought.
After a long silence, he suddenly frowned and murmured in confusion, "Have I really changed a lot? Why does Luo Chen keep saying that... Haven't Ebina and Yui noticed?"
……
...
The next day.
Luo Chen got up very early.
At 5 o'clock, I went to the open-air chess room as usual and found that Shiina Mashiro was still not there, but she left behind a manuscript.
On the drawing, there was a line of small print that said this was her first three drafts, and asked Luo Chen to review them when he had time.
If possible, she plans to formally submit her manuscript to the editorial office.
Luo Chen put it away and carried it with him for a small-scale weighted run.
After returning to my room, I took a quick shower, changed into my everyday clothes, and drove to Suicun Pastry Shop, where I had ordered the cake two days ago.
Today is Ai Hinatsuru's birthday, and of course he wouldn't forget.
It's a pity that I can't help celebrate your birthday at noon and in the evening because I'm leaving for Kyoto today, but I hope the morning celebration won't be too bad.
Half an hour later, Luo Chen's car stopped in front of Suicun Pastry Shop.
Even at 6 a.m., the door of Sui-mura Confectionery Shop is open, because in a sense, Sui-mura also sells breakfast pastries.
"Welcome~ Awoo~"
As Luo Chen entered, he was greeted by a listless, weak voice.
Unsurprisingly, it was Yukiko Kousaka again.
Luo Chen couldn't help but chuckle and teased, "By the way, don't you go to school? Why are you always the one minding the shop whenever we come here?"
"Eh~?"
Kosaka Yukiho blinked twice, then looked up at Luo Chen sleepily. After recognizing him, she muttered softly, "It was just a coincidence. Don't let my appearance fool you; even a middle school student is very busy."
"mom!!"
After saying that, Kosaka Yukiho turned around and called out to her mother.
Mrs. Kosaka quickly came out wiping her hands on her apron. When she saw that it was Luo Chen, she smiled and said, "Mr. Luo Chen, you've come to pick up the birthday cake, right? Please wait a moment. It was made an hour ago and is being preserved."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Luo Chen nodded.
"Oh, by the way, you seem to know my sister, right? Last time I came, she was out rehearsing, but she's home now, though she's sleeping." Kosaka Yukiho leaned on the counter, looking at Luo Chen with her eyes.
"Really? Then I won't bother you. I'm not particularly close to your sister." Luo Chen shrugged, not really caring about meeting Honoka Kousaka immediately.
Admittedly, he seems to have become lazy again lately.
The treasure chest hasn't been opened in a long time.
However, he has recently set his sights on a target.
Yumiko Miura and Akina Hinatsuru may both have the opportunity to invite JS Research Institute to stay for a while after the Kyoto Meijin Tournament.
At that time, getting two treasure chests is still a pretty safe bet.
Moreover, even if this plan isn't mentioned, he's actually been planning something even more outrageous in his mind lately.
Especially after accomplishing such a significant task yesterday, everyone in Class F is very likely to feel grateful to him.
In that case, it seems like he could take this opportunity to invite the whole class to visit and tour the JS research institute... in other words, a three-day trip!
If Plan 587 succeeds, it will surely yield even more treasure chests.
Therefore, he couldn't spare the time to plan for Honoka Kousaka and the others in Otonokizaka.
"Huh? ~~Is that so?"
Kosaka Yukiho nodded with some doubt, but since Luo Chen didn't tell her to shout, she didn't. She continued to lie on the counter, yawning one yawn after another.
A short while later, Mrs. Kosaka came out carrying a very beautiful birthday cake gift box and said with a smile, "This is the birthday cake you ordered. Please accept it."
"Thank you." Luo Chen took the cake, looked it over, and was very satisfied. He then carried the cake and said goodbye to the pastry shop.
On his drive home, he thought to himself, since he couldn't celebrate Hina Tsuru's birthday with her tonight.
But we can't let this elementary school student be all alone tonight, can we?
Perhaps we could call and notify Ten'i, Ayano, and the other elementary school students one by one, and ask them to come over and stay overnight at the JS Research Institute.
To achieve this, it is necessary to communicate with their parents beforehand...
As Luo Chen was pondering this, before he could take any action, the car slowly pulled up in front of the JS Research Institute. To his surprise, he saw a large group of students (elementary school students).
Chapter 298 This woman, has she found a script?
"President?"
"Huh?! The president's back!"
Luo Chen pulled his car over and saw Mizuki Mio and a few others outside.
As expected, the group of elementary school students also spotted him, and they all excitedly gathered around him.
Luo Chen got out of the car carrying the cake and asked in surprise, "Why are you here so early today?"
"Because it's the birthday of love!"
"Yes, Ai's birthday is today."
"Xia, Xia... I also want to celebrate my birthday with love."
Several elementary school students spoke enthusiastically.
Yaksha God Ten'i stood at the very back, her proud little face showing a hint of awkwardness, one of her small hands behind her back as if she were hiding something.
Luo Chen asked with a hint of amusement, "Tianyi, what are you hiding?"
"No! No! You idiot master!!"
Yaksha God Ten'i never expected that even though he had hidden himself so far back, he would still be called out by Luo Chen, and immediately blushed deeply.
"Hehe, Ten'i has prepared a gift for Ai." Mizukoshi Mio laughed mercilessly, betraying Yaksha God Ten'i.
"Mio!!!"
Yaksha God Ten'i felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed.
"Ten-i is so thoughtful. Mio, Charlotte, and I haven't decided what kind of gift to prepare yet. We're all planning to wait for Murasame-sensei to arrive and have him take us to buy one."
Ayano adjusted her glasses, offering herself a compliment to the Yasha-gami Ten'i.
"Baka! Baka!!"
The little tsundere was even more furious. She glared at the group of people angrily, then turned and ran away.
Luo Chen couldn't help but chuckle, and patted each of them on the head, saying, "With you all here, I can set off for Kyoto with peace of mind."
"Is the president going to the Kyoto Meijin Tournament?!" Mizukoshi Mio asked excitedly, her big eyes sparkling.
"Yes." Luo Chen smiled.
"I heard that the rankings for this year's Celebrity Tournament are exceptionally high. Even my master only just met the entry requirements. No wonder she's the president." Ayano Satoshi's eyes revealed deep envy.
"Xia...Xia Luo...〃々..."
"Hi hi~! I'm here! I'm here! I'm here!"
