Chapter 146

Now, Natsume Chikage's sudden proximity gave him a strong sense of crisis.

Shankou Botai probed with a gentle smile:

"Kondo-san, that was Natsume Chikage, who has been quite famous in school lately, right?"

"Why did he come to talk to you? Could it be that you two knew each other before?"

Before Kondo Miki could answer, Akita Sana had already chimed in with a giggle:

"Natsume-kun's dad and Miki's mom were high school classmates. The two families are very close, so they've known each other since they were little."

Shankou Botai was stunned for a moment, then resumed his smile:

"Oh—so that's how it is."

"Then could you introduce me next time, Kondo-san? I'm quite interested in him; after all, he's someone who was confessed to by Senior Yue Dao Lin."

"Even such an outstanding senior was rejected... could it be that he already has someone he likes?"

"Since you know him, Kondo-san, do you know who he likes? I'm really quite curious."

Akita Sana also opened her eyes wide and nodded repeatedly:

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! I want to know too!"

Kondo Miki heard the faint jealousy in Shankou's words and felt that this kind of male mindset was incredibly troublesome, so she had to clarify:

"I'm not that close to him. We don't see each other a few times a year, and we didn't attend middle school together either. How would I know about these things?"

"It's probably someone from his middle school."

Shankou Botai seemed to heave a sigh of relief, but his gaze fell back on that box of white cream puffs: "Then what is this that he gave...?"

Kondo Miki explained:

"Just extra cream puffs from home economics class."

"And they aren't for me; they're for Sana."

"After all, she knows him too."

As she spoke, Kondo Miki casually stuffed the cream puffs into Akita Sana's hands.

Akita Sana was startled at first, then understood—Miki didn't want Shankou to misunderstand.

She immediately took them with a giggle:

"That's right, that's right~ I actually have quite a good impression of Natsume-kun. I didn't expect him to give me cream puffs he made himself!"

"Miki was just taking them for me earlier."

Shankou Botai immediately wore an "I see" expression and laughed loudly:

"So that's how it is!"

"No wonder you weren't interested when I introduced guys to you before."

"Since it's from someone you like, you must cherish it well."

"Akita-san, good luck winning over Natsume-kun, whom even Senior Yue Dao couldn't handle!"

Akita Sana responded full of energy:

"Of course!"

Kondo Miki looked away silently and said softly:

"Let's go, I'm hungry."

"To the cafeteria."

Shankou Botai responded with a smile:

"Alright, let's go."

On the way to the cafeteria, Kondo Miki quietly took out her phone.

As for this kind of cheap dessert, Kondo Miki couldn't even be bothered to take it back, thinking she might as well give it to someone else.

【Kondo Miki: Sorry about earlier, for making you play along.】

【Akita Sana: (#^. ^#) It's fine, I understand~】

【Kondo Miki: Shankou-kun is watching now, so it's not easy for me to take them back. Besides, I have plenty of desserts at home; you take this box and eat it.】

【Akita Sana: (°▽°) Really! That's awesome! Then I won't stand on ceremony!】

In the cafeteria.

Akita Sana took a bite of the cream puff and instantly opened her eyes wide—the crust was light and crisp, the filling fragrant and rich; it was more delicious than any cream puff from a famous shop she had ever eaten.

"Delicious!!!"

Shankou Botai looked at her happy expression and asked in surprise:

"Is it really that good?"

Akita Sana nodded vigorously:

"It's really super delicious! Do you guys want to try one?"

Shankou Botai actually didn't like homemade desserts that looked cheap either; like Kondo Miki, he liked eating brand-name desserts.

If it were made by a girl he liked personally, that would be one thing.

Made by a guy? He had zero interest!

He shook his head and smiled:

"I'll pass. After all, it's from someone you like, and I don't want to spoil the fun."

Akita Sana looked at Kondo Miki again:

"How about you, Miki?"

Kondo Miki looked at Akita Sana silently. Is it really that good?

She thought about it and felt this was just a filter of "love me, love my dog."

As for these cream puffs, if Akita Sana ate them, so be it; they weren't exactly expensive things.

She wouldn't eat them if she took them back anyway.

She would tell her mom later that her friend liked them, and just let her friends finish them at school.

Kondo Miki shook her head:

"No need, you eat them."

Akita Sana said happily:

"Hee hee, then I won't stand on ceremony!" ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
