Chapter 74: The Sound of Heartbeats

  Kawaragi Aoba helped Karupin clean up his dirty paws, thinking of sending him back to Echizen's house. At this time, Ryoma Echizen must be worried to death.

  She doesn't even have his phone number, or else she could have notified him. However, it seems he doesn't have a mobile phone.

  She looked at Karubin's innocent and clear cat eyes, and felt a bit helpless. "I'll send you back home, your master must be worried..."

  From Kanagawa back to Ogaki's house, I will pass by Echizen's house on the way and it won't take much time to send it back.

  Now Ryoma Echizen is really anxious to find the cat, even Takeuchi Renko and Nene are worried about going out to look for it. The sky has already darkened, Kalpin hasn't come back yet, and doesn't know where he is. Only Nanjiroh Echizen is at home with his legs crossed, not looking worried at all.

  When Kaidō Kaoru arrived at the Echizen's house, he only saw Echizen Nijirō leering at a beauty magazine by the entrance.

  "Huh?" Hearing the noise, Minamoto no Yoshitsune lazily raised his eyes, but when he saw Katsuragi Akane, his eyes widened instantly, "Wow! A young girl! It's you! OMG! That scoundrel Karubin is actually with you!"

  "Meow~ This cat isn't heartless, this cat is just being taken to Kanagawa by a car that always clashes with it and has no conscience meow."

  Akane Motomiya just smiled faintly and explained when she heard Koshiro's words.

  Kusunoki South Second was speechless at Karubin, he never thought it would be such a thing, looking at the innocent Karubin, little guy, always with your cute cat eyes open, his eyes are also cat eyes! More spirited than yours! Little guy!

  Koshiro Koshiro used his foot to pull the fixed phone that had fallen on one side, called Menma and asked them to come back. No way, only Menma has a mobile phone.

  ...but they searched separately and in the end, only Cai Cai Zi returned alone.

  Akane Motomiya: "......" How can you live without a mobile phone? As a new human being, even if Takeuchi Rie is a housewife and doesn't have one, Ryoma Echizen should at least carry one.

  "Aoi, don't worry about it, they should be around here looking for that good-for-nothing stupid cat, and will be back soon..." Toshiro Hitsugaya said, thinking Aoi was worried.

  He was saying that, and just then Ryoma Sakamoto and Renko Tachibana really did come back, wanting to see if Karubin had returned home. And wouldn't you know it, he really had! There was a refined beauty standing in their courtyard!

  "Ah-ah!" Ryoma Echizen's amber eyes widened slightly, he never thought he'd see her at his house at this time, and she even brought back his beloved cat!

  Takeuchi Renko and Nanae exchanged a glance, dragging in Wataru Nanakai who wanted to watch the romance between the young men and women of his own household, giving them space.

  "Uh... I came to return Karubin, sorry about that. It's been with me all afternoon and I didn't get a chance to notify you..." Akane Motomiya said apologetically as she returned Karubin to Ryoma Echizen's arms.

  However, both times she came to our house were because of Kalubin. O(╯□╰)o

  (Karubin de se de piao guo ~~ ben mao shi zhu ren he nu zhu ren de qian xian ren ah qian xian ren!)

  Translation: (Karubin's drifting away~~ This cat is the matchmaker for the master and mistress!)

  "It's nothing... Karupin is still madamada... Ryoma Echizen looked at the cute cat in his arms with some speechlessness, it was good for it, he had been searching for it for so long, but it was together with Akane Hinata!"

  "Meow~" Kalbin directly stuffed his head into his arms.

  Akane Motomiya smiled faintly, took out her pale purple mobile phone and handed it to Koshiro Minamoto, opening her mouth lightly under his puzzled gaze. "This phone is for you, I have another one just like it. From now on, use this phone and number, it's more convenient to get in touch... later I'll send my new number to your phone..."

  Her room also has one of the same style but different color, anyway, they all have mobile phones, so I'll give him one, what's the point of not bringing a mobile phone?

  "Oh..." Ryoji Mochizuki felt a bit embarrassed, fortunately the sky was dark and couldn't see his blush. He never liked carrying that kind of thing, but now... he gripped his phone tightly.

  "I should head home and get some rest. Goodnight..." Akane smiled faintly as she gently ruffled his hair, then turned to leave.

  "...good night" Ryoma Echizen whispered in a low, barely audible voice, standing still, then quietly watched her figure get on the car and leave, disappearing into the darkness...

  After getting on the car, Akagi Aoi let Akagi Rei head straight to the Akagi residence. Originally, they were supposed to buy a photo album today, but it can be done next time instead. She also didn't know where Akagi Tsubasa wasn't feeling well and was a bit worried.

  The car quickly returned to the Kusakabe residence under Kusakabe Zero's acceleration. As soon as Kusakabe Tsumugi got home, she saw Kusakabe Tohru leaning against the entrance. The light from the living room behind him seemed like a dazzling glow, but it gave this cold and indifferent boy an inexplicable sense of melancholy...

  Although he was leaning against the living room door, he was indeed the first person she saw when she got home.

  Kaito glanced at her lightly and turned back, Kaito Akira blinked strangely, why did she have a strange feeling in her heart, was this young man waiting for her to go home?

  Just next second she slightly shook her head, unlikely...

  Will she also be daydreaming?

  It's just... he seemed to have moved his lips slightly, was he going to say something to her?

  Akane Mika watched Akane Tsuru's back disappear, blinked to hide the puzzled light in her eyes, and went into the house to find Akane Hana.

  Kaito Minami had already gone upstairs and was standing at the corner, but Kaito Akane, who was going up the stairs behind him, passed by from the other side of the corner without noticing he was still there. Her long golden hair fluttered back, leaving a faint mark that vanished in an instant...

  A tall, slender figure leaned against the wall, eyes cast down, with no other movement, just quietly leaning there, faintly audible was the sound of footsteps coming from the room not far away.

  Welcome home...

  A heart at the corner, beating with such a sound.

  No matter how hard I try to speak up, I can only twitch the corner of my mouth. The words I want to say out loud are still only moving in my heart...

  It was the first time... he tried to calm down, his heart racing so fast that it was all he could do to show his emotions. When would he be able to speak to her calmly and easily, even just one sentence?

  In Akito's room, Shizuka Ryoko was speechless as she stared at Akito, who had put on a sickly makeup and was lying there looking pitiful. He was trying to deceive their pure and innocent child, what a scoundrel! Ana asked if it wasn't time to stop this act already? The child has already returned!

  "Baby, tomorrow is the weekend, let's go on vacation! Is that okay?" Qiong Mu Duan looked at Qiong Mu Xiang with great anticipation, her pale complexion making people feel a pang of emotion.

  He's going to monopolize Baby for the entire weekend! Don't let anyone else ruin it!

  Qingmu Xiangwei slightly furrowed her brow, "But you're not feeling well..."

  Before she could finish speaking, Mu Mu hastily waved his hand, "Don't worry! Dad is a tough guy! Baby and dad will go on vacation, play for two days, and dad will be fine!" While saying this, he was also flipping through the map to see where they could go to have fun. Not giving her a chance to refuse!

  Akane didn't say another word, silently gazing at Akira's pale face and those sparkling eyes...

  Is he really sick?

  Shizuka Ryoko knew that he was faking illness, but before the treasure returned, he kept asking her not to expose him, and she could only let it go. However, she really wanted to take a vacation, "Plus Xiaoliu, let's go together with the four of us! Anna replied: Find a place suitable for a family of four to travel!"

  "......" cut, he still wants to find a place that looks like a honeymoon or a couple's trip! Hmph.

  "Ana answer! Hurry up and choose a suitable place for the whole family to go! Best with super service family tour package!" Jing Xiang Liangzi was speechless at the increasingly childish thoughts of Akogi Tanaka, even if he didn't say it, she could feel his silly, dreamy atmosphere like a girl's, and knew what he was thinking about. Which family of four would go to such a romantic place with couples walking everywhere?! Especially when the children are already so big!

  "Hmm, hmm, I want to go to Yosemite with Babe..." Kaito seemed not to have heard Shizuka's words and continued muttering to himself.

  "I've had enough! Family travel package!" Rie Nakahara couldn't bear it anymore and hit Tsurugi's head with a pillow.

  Yosemite... isn't that in America? Dad, they're just going for the weekend, they won't go that far. Akane has some dark circles under her eyes.

  "Ah! The Aegean Sea is great......!" Akogi's eyes sparkled.

  "Ah, Na, Answer!" Rie Saito's hair stood on end!!!

  "Sigh, the Caribbean islands are not bad either... and there's also Vanuatu...". Mu Mu flipped through the travel brochure, her mouth moving constantly. "Baby, why don't we go to Tyrol Mountains to hide out..."

  Shizuka Ryoko: “......”

  Lin Mu Xiang: "......"

  Tanaka spent half a day choosing, and all the places he chose were romantic and beautiful spots that couples and husbands and wives would go to. Natsumi Ryoko couldn't help but want to strangle him in the end!

  "Home, courtyard, trip, tour, set, meal! Listen, to, not, have! Ah, Na, answer!" Jingxiang Liangzi was choking him like she wouldn't let him breathe, with a fierce momentum that seemed to say "If you don't answer me, I'll strangle you to death!"

  "Hmm... I see... understood..." He was red in the face, Lianzi! Let go! The carefully applied makeup is ruined! I want a pale complexion, not a bright red one! ←▁← So you only care about this?

  "Hmph" Shizuka Ryoko let him go, watching as he vigorously fanned his face, instantly covered in black lines. She really didn't understand what Katsuragi Taro was thinking about anymore!
