Chapter 607

Tsukishima Rin then flew away as if she had been scalded, her whole body was so shy that she was almost smoking, she didn’t dare to look at Xia Xia Xia Mujun again, lowered her head and walked quickly to the work area with the photographer, her steps a bit floating.

The amusement park’s instant photography service requires payment.

But for this eldest lady of the Tsukishima family, it was naturally not a problem.

When choosing photos, she looked at the pictures on the screen—especially the last photo of holding hands—the love in her eyes was almost overflowing.

She not only bought that one, but also bought the printed and electronic versions of the other few with good angles, and carefully put them into an exquisite paper bag with the amusement park logo.

When she walked out carrying a bag of photos, Tsukishima Rin could clearly feel the gaze with a subtle meaning cast by Xia Xia Xia Mujun beside her.

She shyly raised the hand that wasn’t holding the bag, slightly covering her still hot cheeks.

“Don’t, don’t look at me like that... I’ll be even shyer...”

Her voice came out muffled from between her fingers, but after a pause, she slowly put her hand down.

Although her face was still crimson, the eyes she looked at Xia Xia Xia Mujun were surprisingly bright, with unprecedented seriousness and a trace of courage like burning bridges, she muttered softly but clearly:

“However... this is just the beginning.”

“I know you won’t find a girlfriend so soon.”

“But I will still use a more intense, more direct way... to ‘attack’ you, until you agree... you just wait for me!”

Such a straightforward “re-declaration of war” declaration, combined with her appearance of being shy to the extreme but pretending to be serious, produced a wonderful chemical reaction.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun’s usually ascetic and cold face couldn’t help but ripple with a slight red, and for a while, he didn’t know how to respond.

Just at this subtle and ambiguous moment, the voices of Araki Jua and Yasui Ryōto came from near to far, breaking the silence.

“So you were here! You made us look for you!”

Araki Jua put her hands on her hips and pretended to complain angrily.

Yasui Ryōto looked at Tsukishima Rin’s unusually rosy face in confusion:

“Tsukishima-san, your face is so red! Are you uncomfortable? Haven’t you recovered yet?”

Tsukishima Rin adjusted her expression quickly, hid the bag containing the photos behind her back, and shook her head in a bit of panic:

“No, nothing! It’s just... it’s just that the weather is a bit hot, and I walked too fast.”

Yasui Ryōto suddenly realized, touched the back of his head:

“Oh, that’s right, it seems even more stuffy when there are more people at night. You wait, I’ll go buy a few ice drinks!”

After saying that, he turned and ran to the drink shop again.

After he left, Araki Jua immediately put on a gossiping expression, leaned close to Tsukishima Rin, but caught a glimpse of the bag she was hiding behind her back, and her eyes lit up:

“Eh? Rin, you bought photos too?”

She also excitedly took out the same paper bag from her bag and pulled out the photos inside—it was exactly the photo of her and Yasui Ryōto.

“Look! Just now a photographer also said we were ‘very compatible’ and insisted on taking pictures for us, so I bought them!”

Araki Jua lowered her voice, her face full of uncontrollable happiness.

Tsukishima Rin also couldn’t help but share her desire, carefully took out a few from her bag, one of which was a corner of the hand-holding photo.

The two girls immediately got together, their heads leaning against each other, looking at each other’s photos, making low, tacit laughter and exclamations, completely immersed in their own small, sweet joy.

Only Xia Xia Xia Mujun was left standing on the side, his gaze sweeping over the few amusement park photographers not far away who were still enthusiastically capturing “beautiful moments” for other tourists, and he couldn’t help but feel a wave of helpless complaints in his heart:

These amusement park photographers... are they afraid that as long as they see a man and a woman walking together, regardless of whether they are a couple or not, they will go up and praise “you two are really compatible”?

If so, was what the photographer said just now about them being compatible true or false? ===== CHAPTER 973 =====

The visit of Kondo Miyuki! Three beautiful girls and a beautiful woman!

Around eight o’clock in the evening, the sky had long been completely dark, and the residential building was lit with starry lights.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun returned to his apartment door and took out his key.

“I’m home.”

The moment he pushed the door open, the chatter in the living room, mixed with the girls’ laughter and explanations, was like being pressed the pause button, and it suddenly became quiet for a moment.

Several gazes were cast toward the door.

“Brother!”

Natsume Ruri’s eyes lit up, and she bounced up from the cushion like a happy little bird, ran a few steps, and hugged Xia Xia Xia Mujun who had just entered the door, rubbing her small face against his arm.

“Welcome home!”

“Mm.” Xia Xia Xia Mujun rubbed his sister’s soft hair top, his gaze sweeping over the three figures sitting by the low table—Yukimura Suzune, Saionji Nanase, and Fujiwara Aoi, whose cheeks were still slightly bulging.

He wasn’t surprised; they had mentioned before that they would come to tutor Ruri.

And the three girls at the table, although it wasn’t the first time they had seen Xia Xia Xia Mujun, when the slender figure stepped into the warm indoor light with the cool breath of the night, their heartbeats still missed a beat uncontrollably.

That handsome and outstanding face, no matter in what light, seemed to be able to easily capture the attention of others.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun sat down beside his sister and looked at the three “tutors”:

“Is Ruri’s study going smoothly during this time?”

The person directly ignored immediately puffed out her cheeks in protest:

“Brother! Ruri is right here! Why don’t you ask Ruri directly!”

Yukimura Suzune’s cold face seemed to flash a trace of a very faint smile, she put down the pen in her hand, her voice steady:

“Your sister is indeed very smart. With her current progress, the knowledge points taught by the school have basically been mastered.”

She paused and continued:

“So I am currently mainly helping her consolidate and sort out the knowledge system, and occasionally expand some deeper content.”

Saionji Nanase nodded and echoed with a smile, her tone gentle:

“That’s right. Ruri-chan also understood the few difficult points explained just now very quickly. With Ruri-chan’s foundation as the top of the second year of junior high, I’m afraid it won’t be long before we start teaching her content beyond her grade level.”

Fujiwara Aoi, because her mouth was full of snacks, wisely chose to remain silent, just nodded vigorously, indicating agreement, with a little biscuit crumb on the corner of her mouth.

Natsume Ruri heard the praise, her eyes bent into crescent moons, and then she remembered something and looked at Yukimura Suzune and Saionji Nanase with anticipation:

“Yukimura-sister, Saionji-sister! I want to take the exam for the Private Moonlight Academy you are currently attending! Can you teach me how you got in back then? Is there anything special to prepare?”

Saionji Nanase’s eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

She leaned forward slightly, gently holding Ruri’s small hand, her voice full of surprise:

“Really? Ruri-chan also wants to take our school’s exam? That’s great!”

The unexpected close contact made Natsume Ruri open her eyes slightly, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, she was a bit shy, but still nodded vigorously:

“Mm! Yes!”

Yukimura Suzune reached out and gently pulled the overly excited Saionji Nanase back to sit down, and a clear smile also appeared on her cold face:

“Of course you can.”

Fujiwara Aoi also interjected happily:

“But why does Ruri-chan suddenly want to take our school’s exam?” She was purely curious.

Natsume Ruri immediately hugged her brother’s arm, raised her small face, and smiled brightly with a bit of pride:

“Because Ruri wants to go to school with brother!”

Xia Xia Xia Mujun had known about his sister’s wish for a long time, but hearing her say it in person, he still couldn’t help but feel soft in his heart and rubbed her hair again.

Saionji Nanase clapped her hands gently, her smile gentle:

“That’s really great. Then I can see Ruri-chan and Xia Xia Xia Mujun going to school and coming home together.”

Yukimura Suzune entered a more practical mode of thinking, she tapped her chin gently with her finger:

“There are mainly two ways to enter Moonlight Academy, one is to pay high tuition, and the other is to pass the school’s separate enrollment exam based on excellent grades or outstanding specialties.”

She looked at Ruri, her gaze serious:

“With your current grade foundation, passing the normal entrance exam is not a big problem. But the school’s separate enrollment exam will be more difficult, involving some out-of-syllabus and thinking expansion questions.”

She exchanged a look with Saionji Nanase and continued:

“How about this, later, I and Nanase will help you mark out some knowledge ranges that need to be strengthened based on the past exam questions and key points, and then organize some simulation exercises. With targeted preparation, the success rate will be much higher.”

“Mm-hmm! Thank you, sisters!” Natsume Ruri nodded happily, her eyes shining.

After thanking them, she suddenly turned her head and stared at her brother, her small mouth slightly pouting:

“By the way, brother, I heard from the sisters, is your school having a monthly exam soon?”

Her topic changed suddenly, making the three girls at the table subconsciously focus their eyes on Xia Xia Xia Mujun.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun shrugged, his tone relaxed: “Yeah. What’s wrong?”

“Then are you studying seriously?” Ruri asked, like a worried little adult.

“Of course I am,” Xia Xia Xia Mujun answered as a matter of course, “I’m quite serious in class.”
