Zhongyuan hesitated instead, not knowing how to answer. Because this was originally done on the premise that he would not give his hand.

The chocolates given to Ikuta and Nakata contained feelings of gratitude, but the third one was mixed with other emotions. She was afraid that when this chocolate was given away, she would have unnecessary expectations.

However, she couldn't explain what she was expecting. She just had a vague hunch that something might change after the chocolate was sent out - a change that she didn't want to happen.

"It's okay," Zhongyuan said with a smile, "I didn't plan to send it out in the first place, so there's no problem."

"Riyaxiang..."

Nakata felt a little distressed when he saw Zhongyuan smiling like this. Of course it was easy to obscure his feelings in such a vague way, but he would definitely regret it afterwards, like, 'Why didn't I try my best in the first place?' and so on.

She roughly knew who Zhongyuan wanted to give chocolate to, because Zhongyuan would often talk about that incident, saving her from the sasaeng fan who was following her. Nakata would often jokingly say, then go ask the other person out to thank her.

, we have to get the phone number anyway, right?

Zhongyuan will smile bitterly at this time.

"I'm afraid it will disturb them..."

There's no need to bother or bother. Although Nakata wanted to refute, he thought that this was Zhongyuan's carefully considered choice and stopped saying anything.

Only, this time is different.

"Hiyaka, if you don't plan to give it away, why did you bring it out?" Nakata made up his mind to give her a push.

Zhong Yuan's movements froze, he raised his head and stared at her, opened his mouth, but did not make any sound.

Nakata didn't say any more. She watched Zhongyuan slowly lower his head and stare at the cup, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Zhongyuan raised his head again, his expression completely new. There was no sad smile or pretentious carefreeness, but a fresh and crisp expression of determination.

"Hanana, I'm sorry, I——"

"Hey, it's a rare opportunity," Nakata interrupted her with a smile, "Before Hika leaves, please grant me one more wish."

"What wish?"

"Hit that on my cake!"

Zhongyuan almost choked on his saliva, "Now? Here?"

She looked at the almost full seats around her. She was not recording a program now. Even she would be shy to do such a thing in public.

Instead, Nakata became more energetic and nodded excitedly. The anticipation in his eyes made Zhongyuan feel a little restless.

"Then...I'll only do it once."

Zhongyuan lowered his voice and looked at the cake in front of Nakata.

"It's coming, Blackberry Carbon~~~bea——"

The couple at the next table looked over and smiled secretly.

Zhongyuan's face turned red and he retracted his movements.

"I always feel that Riyaka's bea is not strong enough, not even one-third of its usual strength." Nakata analyzed calmly.

"……Hello."

Nakata smiled.

"Let's go, Hikari." She said, "Remember, Blackberry Carbon's bea is invincible, so don't have any worries and just launch with all your strength!"

Zhongyuan's eyes gradually became firmer and she nodded vigorously.

"Hanana, thank you."

Then he picked up his bag and left in a hurry.

Looking at Zhongyuan's back as he stopped a taxi on the street and drove away, Nakata felt both cheering for her and a hint of sadness at being abandoned by his friend.

"Ah - gone."

She lay on the table and sighed.

"It's so lonely... Can no one come and accompany me, a lonely idol house..."

——

“Nichia-scented chocolate is the best!”

"Nonsense! Nana Min's is the best!"

"Hiyaxiang!"

"Nanamin!"

Seeing Ko Asuka Ikuta talking back to each other, at first they were just talking about the packaging of the chocolate, and then they started arguing about whose chocolate contained more thoughts. If the situation continues, maybe it will eventually rise to the level of the Zhongyuan faction.

and the partisanship of the Hashimoto faction.

Before things got worse, Akimoto cut a big piece of cake and stuffed the little Asuka's mouth. Just as Ikuta was about to protest that Asuka's portion was bigger than hers, Wu Geng saw the right opportunity and picked up a chicken wing and stuffed it into her mouth.

, finally calmed down the fight.

With the experience of several gatherings, Wu Geng had some experience in dealing with Ko Asuka Ikuta and the others. Nishino didn't do much, and if Ko Asuka wasn't particularly noisy, she would mostly watch with a smile.

Xiao Feiniao quickly finished the cake on the plate, and then he remembered to give the chocolate he prepared to Wu Geng. Although it looked like a finished product bought from the store, Wu Geng did not dislike it at all and was very happy.

The ground accepted it.

Akimoto, Ikoma, Takayama and the others received the chocolates when Wu Geng walked in. Akimoto's handmade chocolates were so complete that Wu Geng really couldn't believe that she made them by herself.

"Ikuta-chan, where is your chocolate?" Asuka asked.

At the fifth watch, my heart suddenly rose to my throat. This stupid bird refused to open a certain pot. At the fifth watch, I was still thinking that Ikuta had forgotten this matter. This Valentine's Day would be considered a happy day for everyone.

Instead, Ikuta pursed his lips and said with some displeasure, "Everyone dislikes me. I'll give the chocolate to Hikari."

At the fifth watch, I mentally mourned for two or three seconds for Zhongyuan Shaoshuo.

Thinking so, he still said regretfully, "What a pity. I was really looking forward to Ikuta's chocolate."

"Really?" Ikuta's eyes sparkled, "How about I make one for you now?"

"I was wrong, I'm sorry, I spared my life!"

Wu Geng simply gave in. She was still young and had a lot of time to waste, so why bother pushing the gun?

Ikuta curled his lips, kept using his chopsticks, and stuffed his mouth full to vent his resentment.

Nishino carefully pulled the corner of Wugeng's clothes under the table.

"Na-chan, what's wrong?"

When facing the battle, Nishino felt a little timid. She turned her head slightly to look in the direction of Akimoto, who noticed her situation and nodded slightly in encouragement.

"...Nana-chan?"

Ahhh, here we go again, she thought. Here we go again.

Every time at a critical moment, I always look forward and backward, like a swing in the park, swinging left and right.

It was almost time to make up her mind. She said to herself, don’t think too much, just convey your feelings. Just like the bracelet she gave to Xiaoxiao last year, just hand it over. No problem.

no problem.

Nishino took a deep breath and looked into Wugeng's eyes.

explain.

"Xiao Xiao..."

talk.

"Xiao Xiao, this is my own hand——"

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!——"

The doorbell, which was full of malice and seemed to be deliberately intended to interrupt Nishino's words, rang at the most inappropriate and inopportune time. The courage she had managed to muster instantly dissipated. No matter how good Nishino's attitude was,

It's also a little bit unpleasant.

At the fifth watch, I looked back at the entrance.

"Xiao Xiao, go and open the door first." Xiye said with a strong smile.

Wu Geng nodded, stood up and left.

Nishino lowered his head in despair, sighing in his heart.

Why does it always go so poorly...

Akimoto had been paying attention to the situation on Nishino's side. She excused herself to pour a glass of water and whispered comfort in Nishino's ear.

"It's okay. We can continue after Shixiao-chan comes back. There are still plenty of opportunities."

Nishino looked at her gratefully and nodded.

Takayama on the side saw the whole process. She glanced at Ikoma who was in high spirits next to Nishino. She was worried that it would disturb Nishino, so she suggested changing places with her. Ikoma was a little reluctant, but she still did it.

After waiting for a while, the fifth watch still didn't come back. Nishino looked at the door frequently, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, got up and went over to see the situation.

Wu Geng was standing inside the door, seeming to be saying something to the people outside. Nishino walked closer and then gently called her name.
To be continued...
