Chapter 976

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so enthusiastically invited to dine at home.

More importantly, they all clearly knew that Kondo Miyuki's daughter—Kondo Miki, studied at Private Moonlight Academy and was a beautiful and talented girl.

And, she and Natsume-kun were childhood sweethearts.

At this moment, hearing Kondo Miyuki relay "Miki is also looking forward to you coming to play" and other words…

A trace of imperceptible contemplation flashed in Xuecun Lingyin's cold eyes.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui felt a little blocked in her heart, as if she was scratched gently by something fluffy, which was uncomfortable.

Just at this time, Xiyuanji Qilai blinked her clear and lively purple eyes, and asked softly with natural curiosity:

"Kondo-classmate… is looking forward to Natsume-kun and Ruri-chan going to play very much?"

"Miyuki-aunt, could it be… Natsume-kun and Kondo-classmate, had a good relationship since childhood?"

"What were they like when they were young?"

Kondo Miyuki was waiting for such a natural "support".

A more gentle and nostalgic smile bloomed on her face immediately, as if she was hooked on beautiful memories:

"They had a very good relationship. Miki often came to find Natsume-kun to play when she was young, and Natsume-kun always took good care of her."

"Miki, she even held Ruri-sister when she was young, Ruri was only this big at that time."

"So saying they are childhood sweethearts, playmates who grew up together, is really not an exaggeration at all."

Once these words came out, even Xiyuanji Qilai, who was natural, couldn't help but have a subtle, indescribable wave in her heart.

It turned out… there was such a deep "childhood sweetheart" relationship.

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui felt that the stuffiness in her heart increased.

She originally secretly felt that she might be one of the girls who appeared in Natsume-kun's life earlier.

Now it seems… this Kondo Miki is the true "first comer".

And, judging from Kondo-aunt's tone, the relationship between the two is clearly extraordinary.

This… seems different from the "not much contact", "ordinary relationship" that Natsume-kun mentioned lightly before?

Kondo Miki's feelings for Natsume-kun… what exactly is it?

If she also likes Natsume-kun, relying on this layer of childhood sweetheart friendship and the recognition of both families, wouldn't it be…

Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui shook her head violently, trying to throw away the thought that made her anxious.

That kind of thing… don't!

In the following time, Xiyuanji Qilai, Xuecun Lingyin, and Classmate Classmate Tengyuan Kui all secretly decided that they must find an opportunity to "side-knock" Natsume Chikage about this childhood sweetheart later.

But Kondo Miyuki was present, which was clearly not a suitable time.

And it was indeed not early.

The three girls looked at each other, and then left the apartment politely saying goodbye to Kondo Miyuki and Natsume siblings.

After sending off the three girls, only Kondo Miyuki and Natsume siblings were left in the living room.

Kondo Miyuki didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. She looked at Natsume Chikage and smiled:

"Natsume-kun, it's still early, do you want to play a game of chess with aunt? Just treat it as relaxation."

"Good."

Natsume Chikage didn't refuse.

Soon, two games of chess ended.

Kondo Miyuki looked at the situation on the chessboard where she collapsed rapidly again, was silent for a while, and then shook her head and laughed.

She finally understood completely that Natsume Chikage's ability to win three games in a row was by no means accidental or lucky.

"Really amazing, Natsume-kun."

She sighed sincerely, her tone full of relief:

"Aunt really has no chance of winning in front of you now."

"However, seeing you have such strength, aunt is relieved."

"Please be sure to work hard in tomorrow's competition. Aunt will definitely watch on time and cheer for you."

"Mm, I will definitely give it my all."

Natsume Chikage nodded seriously.

Kondo Miyuki looked at the clock on the wall and finally stood up:

"It's not early, aunt should go back too."

She walked to the entrance, and while putting on her shoes, she exhorted gently again:

"Remember, when you have time, you must remember to go home and play with Ruri-sister."

"Goodbye, Miyuki-aunt."

Natsume Ruri waved.

Natsume Chikage also stood up:

"I'll send you a distance."

"Mm, then I'll trouble you."

Kondo Miyuki didn't refuse, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Looking at Natsume Chikage's considerate behavior, the thought of "this is really a good child worth entrusting" in her heart became more firm.

Late at night.

A slight noise came from outside the window, followed by the familiar "meow" sound.

That stray white cat named "Xiaobai" appeared on time again, scratching the glass window gently with its claws, a pair of clear eyes shining, clearly coming to beg for food.

Natsume Chikage walked over and opened the window.

The little white cat jumped in nimbly, rubbing affectionately around his ankle.

"You came today too."

Natsume Chikage smiled, turned and went to prepare cat strips.

Now he regained and repaired the 【Oden Immortal's Spoon】, possessing the special effect of "flavor +40%".

He was very curious whether this bonus could produce a decisive attraction to this picky little cat.

【You made 'Special Cat Strip', flavor increased by 40%!】

Seeing the translucent prompt appearing in front of him, Natsume Chikage raised his mouth slightly, and placed the cat strip emitting an attractive fragrance in front of Xiaobai.

Xiaobai leaned close, sniffing carefully with its nose twitching.

The next moment, its eyes were obviously brighter than any time before, and it even made a rapid "purring" sound, and then couldn't wait to bury its head and lick it fiercely, and its eating appearance could be called "crazy".

Looking at the little guy gobbling it up, Natsume Chikage was very satisfied in his heart.

It seems that this flavor bonus is indeed extraordinary.

After Xiaobai was full, it didn't leave immediately as usual, but jumped up lightly, found a comfortable position on Natsume Chikage's thigh, curled up, and made a satisfied purring sound, as if it was going to fall asleep here.

Natsume Chikage tentatively stretched out his hand and gently rubbed its furry little head.

Xiaobai not only didn't resist, but rubbed against his palm.

Just at this time, a familiar prompt message jumped out in the field of vision:

【Because you have not completely obtained the recognition of this special 'equipment', you cannot 'register' it for the time being!】

Natsume Chikage looked at this line of words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, but it immediately turned into a helpless light laugh.

Cats are independent by nature and have strong vigilance. Wanting to obtain their wholehearted trust is inherently much more difficult than dogs, requiring more patience and time.

Although he didn't take it down directly.

But at least from the current situation, Xiaobai's attitude toward him is indeed becoming closer and more dependent day by day.

This is a good sign.

Capturing this special "Xiaobai cat", it seems that it has to be a long stream, take it slow.

Late at night, after washing up.

Natsume Chikage walked to the light switch by the bedroom door.

"Ruri, brother is turning off the lights."

"Mm…"

Natsume Ruri in the quilt responded, but suddenly propped up her body again:

"Ah, brother, wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?"
