Chapter 358: Meeting Again

These days, Haruka and Ash often went out to play, and they even specifically brought along Kasumi and Ash’s brother.

One day, Haruka was strolling down the street when Ash suddenly walked over, patted Haruka on the shoulder, pointed to a nearby café, and said, "Haruka, do you want to drink some coffee?"

"Mm." Haruka nodded, then asked, "Brother Ash, how did you know I wanted coffee?"

"Hehe, just a guess," Ash said lightly.

"Oh~~~ So Brother Ash, your nose is really sharp," Haruka said playfully.

"That goes without saying!" Ash said with a smile.

Ash took Haruka into the café and found an empty seat to sit down.

"May I ask, what would you like to order?" the waiter asked respectfully.

"Two cups of mocha," Ash said.

"Alright, please wait a moment."

Not long after, two cups of coffee were brought to them, and Ash handed one to Haruka.

"Haruka, have a taste. The coffee here is quite good," Ash said.

"Mm!"

Upon hearing this, Haruka picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"Wow, it's delicious!" Haruka exclaimed.

"As long as you like it," Ash said.

After Haruka finished, Ash asked, "Haruka, do you want to keep looking around? Let's go somewhere else to wander."

"Okay!"

Haruka agreed.

"Then let's go, Haruka," Ash called out.

"Alrighty~" Haruka replied.

Thus, the two left the café, preparing to continue playing nearby. However, they hadn't walked many steps before they saw two familiar figures.

"Ash, it's so lively over there, let's go take a look." Haruka pulled Ash and ran toward that direction.

"Ouch, that hurts like hell! Boss lady, what are you doing!" a roar came from ahead.

"I'm sorry, sir, you were the one who bumped into me first," a lady wearing a work uniform said.

"Hmph, I don't care. You must compensate me for my mental distress, and also, you dirtied my clothes, so you have to help me wash them clean."

"This..." the waitress said hesitantly.

"Hmph, what kind of attitude is that? Do you believe I'll report you? Do you know how much these clothes cost?"

"I'm sorry, sir, our shop does private custom work, so the prices are relatively high," the waitress explained.

"Hehe, private custom? Isn't it just a dollar a piece? Does this kind of dump count as private custom?" the man said disdainfully.

"This... sir, our shop truly belongs to the private custom category, so the price is not cheap," the woman said.

"Hmph, isn't it just a hundred yuan? Look at what I'm wearing! This is a limited edition casual outfit!" As the man spoke, he took off his jacket, revealing a white tracksuit underneath.

"Wow, so handsome!"

"So cool!"

"This guy is so handsome, I've decided to pursue him!"

"I've decided to pursue him too!"

The passersby around them began to whisper.

"Sir, I will wash your clothes for you," the waitress said, gritting her teeth.

"Hehe, that's more like it. This time I'll be merciful and won't hold it against you. Remember, this is the last time."

"Yes!" the waitress nodded hurriedly.

"Alright, let's go," the boy said.

"Mm!" his female companion also nodded hurriedly.

"Huh, sir, we've met again," Ash said. ===== CHAPTER 776 =====

"Hm? Brother Ash, why are you here?" the man asked in confusion.

"Brother Ash?" the female companion next to him asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, Xiao Ming, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you here. Are you here for a trip too?" Ash said.

"Haha, that's right, I'm here for a trip too. Brother Ash, why are you here?" Xiao Ming asked curiously.

"I'm here for a trip as well," Ash said with a smile.

"Then let's go together!" Xiao Ming said happily.

"Sure!" Ash said with a smile.

"Mm, by the way, Brother Ash, what are you doing here?" Xiao Ming asked curiously.

"Uh~ we're here to play ball," Ash said, stunned for a moment.

"Wow~~~ Brother Ash, you can actually play basketball?" Xiao Ming said exaggeratedly.

"Hehe, it's just an amateur hobby," Ash said modestly.

"Heehee, then Brother Ash, I want to join your team too. I want to learn your techniques," Haruka said.

"Alright, Haruka, then you stay here and wait for me," Ash said.

"Mm~" Haruka nodded obediently.

Soon, after Ash and Xiao Ming finished playing, they came to Haruka's side.

"Haruka, finished playing?" Ash asked.

"Mm, Brother Ash, you're so amazing. Every time you win the quarter!" Haruka said with admiration.

"Hehe, Haruka isn't bad either. What was your score for the quarter?" Ash asked.

"My score for the quarter was 17 points! Five points more than you, heehee," Haruka said proudly.

"Wow, worthy of being my little sister, Haruka is the best!" Ash praised.

"Heehee, thank you for the praise, Brother Ash," Haruka said with a smile.

"Let's go! Xiao Ming, let's go buy some ice cream," Haruka suggested.

"Alright!" Xiao Ming said happily.

"By the way, Brother Ash, Haruka, have you eaten yet?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Not yet. Brother Ash, I'm hungry. Can you take us to get a meal?" Haruka asked, looking at him expectantly.

"Of course I can!" Ash said dotingly.

Thus, the three of them came to a restaurant.

"Xiao Ming, Haruka, my treat today. Order whatever you want," Ash said generously.

"Wow~ Brother Ash is the best," Haruka said.

"Brother Ash, you're so domineering!" Xiao Ming said with envy.

"Xiao Ming, you're not bad either, having a girlfriend at such a young age," Ash teased.

"Uh~~~ that, she's not my girlfriend," Xiao Ming said awkwardly.

"Hehe, alright, since she isn't, then let's eat," Ash said helplessly.

Afterward, the four of them finished dinner and went their separate ways.

"Xiao Ming, where are you staying? Let me take you there," Ash asked.

"Alright, thank you, Brother Ash," Xiao Ming said gratefully.

"It's nothing," Ash said, waving his hand.

Afterward, Ash and Xiao Ming drove Xiao Ming and Haruka home.

After Ash and Haruka said goodbye to Xiao Ming, they arrived at Shirona's house.

"Haruka, you're finally back. Why didn't you answer when I called you earlier? You worried Mommy to death," Shirona said, blaming them.

"Mommy, we were just playing basketball, we didn't hear it," Haruka said, acting spoiled. ===== CHAPTER 778 =====
