In response, Yushan Kazuto could only smile bitterly.
He shrugged and looked in the direction of the voice: "Mamoru-chan, have you and Hana finished choosing?"
"The choice has already been made, Kazuto-nii-san. Mei-nii and I have been looking for you for a long time." said Shirosaki Hana.
"Um, Ebina-nee, why are you here?"
When she heard Shirosaki Hana speak, Doma Mai noticed Nana Ebina standing behind Hayama Kazuto and couldn't help but blink slightly.
"Ebina, you're here to shop in the supermarket too?" Domama stepped forward and said softly.
Ebina Nana nodded, but was too shy to speak.
"I saw it when I was looking for fennel before. Ebina also wanted to buy it, but unfortunately there was only one bundle left, so we agreed to split it in half after we paid the bill." Yushan Kazuto said.
Doma nodded. What Hayama Kazuto said was relatively coherent, but Ebina Nana looked so nervous and guilty that Doma couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"But why did you and Brother Kazuto come to the seasoning section? Sister Mai and I have been looking for you in the fresh food section for a long time." Shirosaki Hana also walked over and spoke.
"Because fennel is placed in the seasoning area." Yushan Heren said unhappily.
Before Shirasakika could speak, Yushan Kazuto said, "Well, now that we've made our choice, let's go back."
Chapter 1587: The Forgotten Invitation
"Ebina."
As soon as he got off the car, Hayama Kazuto called out to Nana Ebina who was trying to escape.
"Senior Kazuto." Nana Ebina turned around, and although her voice was still soft, it was better than before when she was nervous.
"You haven't taken your fennel yet." Yushan Kazuto winked, divided the fennel in half and handed it to Ebina Nana.
Nana Ebina took the fennel, whispered a thank you, and walked quickly towards the apartment.
"Kazuto-brother, why is Ebina-san in such a hurry to go home? Doesn't she have to wait for the elevator with us?" Standing aside, Shirasaki Hana couldn't help but ask.
"Who knows?" Yushan Kazuto blinked, and suddenly felt that what Baisakihua said made sense.
Even if Nana Ebina is in such a hurry to get into the apartment now, she will still have to wait for the elevator in the end.
"Okay, let's go back quickly." Domama urged from the side.
The three of them walked into the apartment and there happened to be an elevator parked on the first floor.
In the elevator, Nana Ebina was holding shopping bags in both hands and placing them in front of her. For a moment, Yushan Kazuto felt a sense of déjà vu.
Entering the elevator, Yushan and the other two knew that Ebina Nana was shy, so they did not disturb her.
The few of them kept quiet and returned home.
After entering the house, Yushan Heren suddenly remembered where the sudden sense of familiarity in the elevator came from.
[Last week, when Ebina gave me rock oysters, he seemed to have subtly invited me to a private dinner? If I remember correctly, I should have accepted it? ]
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly. That day, Ebina Nana was also standing in the elevator waiting for him, holding a bag of rock oysters in both hands. No wonder he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he saw Ebina Nana before.
However, because he just agreed casually at the time, Yushan Heren himself did not take it seriously, so he forgot about it afterwards.
Looking back now, my memories of that time become clearer.
【It's a bit troublesome. 】
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly. He could probably guess what Ebina Nana wanted to say to him.
But just when she had finally mustered up the courage, she didn't expect that Doma Yui and Shirasaki Hana would come over, which directly caused Ebina to skip the second stage of decline and jump directly from the first stage to the third stage of exhaustion.
[I may not be able to go out tonight, I will contact Ebina on Line later. 】
Yushan Kazuto sighed and walked into the kitchen carrying his things.
Although Shirasaki Haruka arrived in Tokyo early, Hayama Kazuto was not sure whether she returned to Tama in the afternoon or went back after dinner.
In fact, from Yushanhe's own perspective, he is more inclined to the latter.
But if this is true, Kazuto Yuyama will not be able to have dinner with Nana Ebina tonight.
On the side, Shirosaki Haruka had already woken up. Just as Shirosaki Hana said, she had come to Tokyo from Tama early in the morning and was actually a little tired. Now that she had caught up on some sleep, she felt a lot more energetic.
"Aunt Chunxiang, are these fennels enough?"
Seeing Shirasaki Haruka walk into the kitchen, Hayama Kazuto couldn't help but speak.
"That's enough, one third is enough." Shirasaki Haruka said with a smile.
Yushan Heren breathed a sigh of relief. Although the quantity of a bundle of fennel in the supermarket was quite large, even only half of it would still be almost one kilogram.
But Yushan Kazuto didn't know what Shirasaki Haruka was doing with fennel, and if there was less of it, it would be a mistake.
"Thank you, Xiaoheren, for your help in buying the ingredients. Now let me take over the kitchen." said Shirasaki Haruka.
"Don't you need my help?" Yushan Kazuto asked tentatively.
"No need." Shirasaki Haruka shook her head. She was just about to show off her skills.
Yushan Kazuto could only blink slightly, took out all the ingredients, placed them neatly on the chopping board, and then walked out of the kitchen.
Looking at Doma Mai and Shirosaki Hana who were enjoying snacks on the sofa, Yuyama Kazuto couldn't help but smile and walked quickly towards the room.
……
In the kitchen, Nana Ebina's cell phone suddenly rang.
Picking up the phone and looking at the caller information, Nana Ebina almost dropped the phone on the ground.
"Senior Kazuto?" Despite her trepidation, Nana Ebina still answered the phone.
"Hello, Ebina?" The voice of Yushan Kazuto came from the other end of the phone.
Originally, Yushan Kazuto wanted to send a message to Ebina Nana through Line, but when he thought that he was the one who forgot the appointment first, he decided to make a phone call to make it more formal.
"Senior Kazuto, you go ahead." On the phone, Nana Ebina's voice sounded a little more generous.
"Um, the thing you wanted to tell me before, was it the dinner party you mentioned last week?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
Ebina Nana blinked slightly. She didn't expect that Yushan Kazuto still remembered it.
After a few seconds of silence, Ebina Nana responded.
"Sorry, sorry, there were a lot of things going on this week and I almost forgot about it. I just remembered it just now." Yushan Heren said.
Ebina Nana blinked slightly, her expression a little disappointed. After all, she had forgotten.
But soon, Ebina Nana perked up again. Since Yushan Kazuto called her, it meant that the other party had remembered it.
"Then...how to arrange it?" Ebina Nana whispered.
"We're not sure if we have time tonight. If tonight isn't possible, how about we change it to tomorrow night?" Yushan Heren suggested.
Ebina Nana blinked, but still responded.
"I'm sorry, as you can see, Xiaohua has come to Tokyo and may not go home until after dinner." Yushan Kazuto explained.
"Yeah." Ebina Nana responded. She had also seen Shirasaki Hana before.
"If Xiaohua goes back in the afternoon, I will send you a message." Yushan Heren said again.
"it is good!"
This "good" was obviously much more lively, and Yushan and others could hear some joy in it.
"Then let's stop here. I'm hanging up now."
"Goodbye, Senior Kazuto." said Ebina Nana.
"Bye-Bye."
The laughter of Yushan Kazuto was heard on the phone, which soon turned into a "beep" sound. After hanging up the phone, Ebina Nana took a deep breath and started checking nearby restaurants on her mobile phone.
Although she had checked it over and over again, Ebina Nana was still a little worried and wanted to confirm it again. She even forgot to take care of the ingredients that had already been cut in the kitchen.
On the other side, Yushan Kazuto put down his phone and lay down on the bed.
He was feeling a little strange now. He wanted Shirasaki Hana to go back later, but he also didn't want to break his appointment with Ebina Nana.
After thinking for a long time, Yushan Heren stood up and walked out of the room.
Chapter 1588: Nishimiya Yuzuru in Photography Class
"Still not leaving yet?"
After lunch, Shirasaki Haruka walked to the sofa and spoke to Hayama Kazuto and others who were sitting on it.
"Departing? Aunt Chunxiang, do you mean going to the welfare home?" Yushan Heren asked.
"What else?" Shirasaki Haruka asked.
"Are you going so early today?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink, a little surprised.
"There's a dinner party at Chizuru's house tonight, so we have to go back early." Shirasaki Haruka said.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink his eyes. It seemed that he could go to Ebina Nana's dinner tonight.
"Are Aunt Hinata and Chizuru back?" Shirasaki Hana couldn't help but ask.
"Well, probably not yet. She told me that she will be home at three in the afternoon." said Shirasaki Haruka.
Chizuru, that is, Chizuru Hoshino, is the mother of Hinata Hoshino and Miyako Hoshino. Because Hinata Hoshino and Hana Shirasaki are classmates, the two families have a very good relationship and often have dinner together.
"Did Aunt Chizuru go anywhere this week?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Some bathing beaches have started operating recently, so Chizuru took Hinata to the beach." said Shirasaki Haruka.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly. Yes, the temperature has been rising recently and it's a little hot.
The school’s swimming classes will officially open next week, but this year Yushan and others won’t have to clean it.
"Kazuto, what are you thinking about? You seem a little distracted?" asked Haruka Shirasaki.
"Nothing, nothing. When I mentioned the beach, I thought about the swimming classes that will be open next week." Yushan Kazuto said hurriedly.
"Do you miss those young and beautiful bodies in the swimming pool?" Shirasaki Haruka couldn't help but smile.
Yushan Kazuto's face suddenly turned red: "Auntie Haruka, our school's swimming classes are separate for boys and girls."
"So you're feeling melancholy because you can't get what you want?" Shirasaki Haruka continued.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink, wondering why he never felt that Shirasaki Haruka was so indecent before.
"It's okay, these are normal behaviors of adolescent boys, there's no need to be shy." said Haruka Shirasaki.
"Aunt Haruka, please be careful about the impact. Xiaohua and Koumeiro are here!" Yushan Kazuto said gritting his teeth.
"It's okay. I'm also teaching them to protect themselves." Shirasaki Haruka smiled.
"It's getting late, it's time to set off, let's set off quickly." Yushan Heren had to play dumb.
On the side, Doma Mai and Shirasaki Hana's little faces were a little red, and they followed Yushan Kazuto to the door.
Looking at the backs of several people, Shirasaki Haruka couldn't help but smile and quickly followed them.
……
"Grandma Nishimiya."
"It's grandma~"
Since they were going to the Minami-Senju Welfare Home, they naturally had to visit the Nishimiya family as well. When they walked into the house, Yushan Kazuto and Shirasaki Hana greeted them warmly.
"It's Xiaohua! I haven't seen you for a long time!" Looking at Baisakihua, Nishimiya Kei couldn't help but smile so much that his eyes narrowed.
"Xiaohua hasn't seen Grandma Xi for a long time." Baisakihua walked up and said.
The last time I met Nishimiya Kei was during the national competition finals.
Later, when Yushan Kazuto held a celebration banquet for the Dragon King War, although Shirasaki Hana also came to Tokyo, she came and left in a hurry and had no time to visit the Nishimiya family.
"Grandma Nishimiya, are you home alone?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
When I visited today, the door of Nishimiya's house was open. When I walked into the house, I saw only Nishimiya Xi at home, which surprised Yushan and others.
"Nose and Yuzuru went out after lunch." Nishimiya Kei said slowly.
"What did Senior Nishimiya do?" Domama, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but ask.
