Three or four days after the date,
Xiong Ying's summer vacation officially began.
Although the second years were forced to stay in the dormitory system,
They could still go home during the summer vacation before they went to the forest to live together,
So the Xiong Ying students packed their luggage,
They were ready to go home.
[... Aren't you going home this summer vacation?]
[I'm not going back, because my home is too far away from Xiong Ying,
Next week is the forest dormitory,
It's too troublesome to go back and forth/cry.]
[Then you'll be staying in Xiong Ying's dormitory during this period of time?]
[Yes,
I promised to work part-time with Ahn Chiu-chan (* ^ w ^ *)]
[Is that so?]
After that date, because he was busy packing his luggage,
He also lost the excuse of the "tutoring plan". Boom and Prunus basically didn't see each other.
Three days had passed. Boom would stay in the cafeteria for a long time almost every day, but he still couldn't meet her,
So he could only stare at the clay bird in the dormitory in a daze.
[Are you taking the bus back today/Huahua?]
After Hong killed off the topic, Fang Qiu
Prunus tried to send him another message.
[Yes,
I'll take the bus at three in the afternoon.]
Boom replied calmly,
But there was a faint sense of pity in his heart. In fact, he still wanted to see her before he left. The summer vacation was long, and he didn't know if he could see her.
Even though he was very happy to be able to go home, now he didn't want to leave.
[Is that so?
Be careful on the road ~] Prunus said so,
He went offline again.
Boom stuffed his clothes into his suitcase,
He looked at the last time he was online on his phone,
A trace of disappointment flashed through his heart. He picked up his phone again and quickly sent her a [Yes] reply. He also added a picture and stared at his phone again.
Prunus didn't go online to talk to him about other topics as usual.
..
He focused on packing the things he wanted to bring home. It was almost 2: 45 pm. It was time to set off for the bus stop.
However, Prunus still hadn't replied to his letter, which made Hong a little disappointed.
He swiped LINE for the last time, but at this time, he heard a knocking sound coming from the floor-to-ceiling window behind him.
He put down the suitcase in his hand and looked at the floor-to-ceiling window behind him in confusion. He caught a glimpse of two white birds flapping their wings and flying away.
His heart skipped a beat. With an inexplicable premonition, he immediately trotted to the balcony. As expected, he saw a small glass jar on the floor of the balcony.
As on the other night, Prunus brought him a little thing.
It was a tin of hand-made biscuits and a carton of strawberry milk.
[I remember you like to drink this. A girl in my class was baking cookies just now.]
I roasted a lot more, so I'll share some with you!
Have a pleasant journey, and if you see Mr. Andwa, give him my regards!
You want to share the biscuits with your family? Hehe (* ^ ▽ ^ *) You're so confident!]
He opened the locked floor-to-ceiling window and picked up the small jar and drink. After thinking for a while, he put them back in their original position and took a photo to upload to LINE's homepage.
There were no extra labels or titles. It was just a harmonious and lovely photo.
Thinking of this, he put the freshly baked biscuit into his mouth.
"… Delicious," he whispered. The corners of his mouth curled up into a satisfied and doting smile that he didn't even notice.
So this was the reason why she didn't talk to him when she was offline?
Obviously, he wanted to talk to her more than the snack.
However, he was very happy to receive this.
It even made him, who didn't particularly like snacks, have the thought that "I don't want to share this with others at all".
…
After Hong returned to his hometown with a tin of biscuits, Prunus and An Qiu started their summer part-time jobs.
"After all, it's too troublesome for me to take pocket money from Uncle and Auntie ~"
Prunus said so. After her parents' accident, she lived with her relatives for a long time. Although her relatives loved her very much, she couldn't accept their help for nothing.
"… Yes, I want to save money too."
An Qiu nodded. It was rare for her to be full of enthusiasm to look for a part-time job with Prunus. After all, working was different from going to school. The former could make money, but she didn't want to slack off.
Just like this, the two girls found a few suitable part-time jobs in one go, planning to make a lot of money during the summer vacation.
…
…
After successfully passing the interview, the two children went to work in a coffee shop in Xiong Ying's city as they wished.
By the way, because An Qiu was disabled in cooking, she was assigned as an employee in charge of taking orders and paying the bill. She was directly banned from entering the kitchen.
"… Wait, I applied for the backstage position." An Qiu looked at the female manager of the coffee shop with a bitter expression.
"Asakura, do you want our shop to close down?" The female manager also looked at An Qiu with a bitter expression.
"Didn't the flyer say that you will patiently teach your employees?" An Qiu pointed at the recruitment advertisement outside.
"Sorry, after patiently teaching you, we found that your face is the only useful thing." The female manager bowed 45 degrees to An Qiu.
"…" An Qiu felt wronged. She walked to the cash register with a dead look.
"… Don't be like this. The waitress's outfit is very cute. It suits you very well, Ahn Chiu-chan QAQ."
After baking a new biscuit, Prunus poked her head out of the kitchen and handed her another biscuit.
An Qiu opened her mouth and accepted Prunus's feeding. She narrowed her eyes like a cat and gave Prunus a thumbs up. She never got tired of eating Prunus's baked pastries.
The female store manager looked at this scene expressionlessly. She sighed and said, "Asakura, you've only been able to survive until now because of the apricot tree, haven't you?"
"I don't deny it …" An Qiu chewed the chocolate biscuit with a satisfied expression. She noticed a small detail, "But why did you call Almond by his name?"
"She's too good. I accidentally …" The manager opened her mouth and accepted Prunus's feeding. She then rubbed her head, "She wanted to get close to him. She wanted to have him."
"… I'm quitting tomorrow." An Qiu's eyes were dead.
"Ah … Maybe I'll be troubled."
"You won't be troubled."
An Qiu doubted her life and went back to work angrily. After thinking for a while, she took a picture of the unfinished biscuit in her hand and uploaded it to LINE's homepage.
[Title: Doubting Life.]
A minute later, the phone beeped with a ding dong.
[Your friend [Shameful Senior] gave your PO a like.]
[An Qiu was so angry that she became Explode himself.]
An Qiu lived this kind of daily life. Although she didn't like working as a receptionist, she gradually became popular with her beauty. With the occasional new desserts developed by Prunus, the coffee shop became popular recently.
Finally, the manager called An Qiu "dad" in tears.
An Qiu: Humph.
…
His days were relatively easy.
On the tenth day of work in Prunus, the coffee shop welcomed a special guest in a special way.
[What?
You still can't figure it out?]
[Let me give you a hint. That day, the coffee shop introduced a new dessert, coffee jelly.]
[You should have guessed it!]
[Let's go back to the day of the accident. That day, Prunus was working as a dessert maker as usual.
Just as she followed the manager's instructions to take out the newly developed coffee jelly from the refrigerator, decorate it, and bring it to the shop, a figure suddenly appeared behind Prunus out of thin air.]
To understand, it really appeared out of thin air.
"… Wow!"
Looking at the pink-haired, green-eyed boy who suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost, Bai Jian, who was holding a pastry, exclaimed in surprise. Although there were many people with strange personalities in this society, just like how things that suddenly jumped out were especially frightening, Bai Jian was still quite frightened.
Hearing the girl's exclamation, Qi Mu Nanxiong's face instantly turned ugly. [How did he appear here?]
[Teleportation suddenly activated?]
[His teleportation was seen by ordinary people?]
[What happened before the teleportation?]
[Let me think about it … Just before the teleportation, he was angry because his trash dad stole his 3000 yen coffee jelly and tried to use a 100 yen coffee jelly to replace it.]
Then, without saying a word, he used his telekinesis to destroy the expensive beer that his dad wanted to give to his boss as an apology. After that, his trash dad knelt down and called him Daddy Qi Mu Nanxiong and asked him to use his "recovery" ability. Qi Mu Nanxiong turned him down with a sullen face and decided to go to space alone. Then, he activated his "teleportation" ability …
[So, his "teleportation" ability was wrong because of his "lack of calm"?]
Qi Mu Nanxiong frowned and looked at Prunus in front of him again. His ability was not something that could be easily seen, especially by a little girl like this. Even if he promised to keep it a secret, she would definitely tell on him.
Well, he had to confirm if the girl really saw him use his ability. With this in mind, Qi Mu focused on using his "telepathy" ability to listen to the girl's thoughts.
[… Why … Why is he here?]
Was that teleportation ability just now?
Is it his personality?
It's a thief … What should I do? Should I call the manager in?]
As Qi Mu listened carefully, the girl with a vigilant face had such thoughts in her mind.
Qi Mu frowned. [Even the word "teleportation" appeared in the girl's mind. It seems that she saw me appearing just now.]
[I didn't expect her to have such a high IQ. It seems that I can't pretend to be a fool and get away with it.]
With this in mind, another answer appeared in Qi Mu's mind.
[So, I have to use "Memory Erase" to erase my existence from the girl's mind. After that, I can use my invisible ability to hide myself and find a chance to sneak out.]
Qi Mu raised his hand and took out a banana-like weapon out of thin air. In fact, it was used to erase memories.
The girl's expression became even more unsightly. She took two steps back vigilantly and put the coffee and jelly back on the table. "This … this customer?"
[I'm sorry, but this is the only way I can do it.]
Qi Mu glanced at the crystal-clear coffee jelly on the table and painfully explained, [Maybe it's my subconscious obsession with coffee jelly that sent me here. As compensation, I'll definitely spend more in the shop.]
Using telepathy, Qi Mu transmitted the words of apology and compensation to Bai Jian. Then, without saying a word, he swung his banana weapon at Bai Jian's head.
