Chapter 66: A Different Kind of Devotion

  (?)

  Yagyu took Karubin to the nearby public restroom, where she put it under the faucet and rinsed it repeatedly. The water flow wasn't very strong, but Karubin felt extremely comfortable. In the Koshi family, only Renge's mom and Menma would be so kind as to give it a bath; its owner loved it dearly, but wouldn't possibly bathe it!

  Because there was no shower gel, Akane Kinoshita directly used hand soap to wash it, and Karubin didn't mind as long as it didn't smell bad, the hand soap smelled okay.

  After helping her wash it clean, a handkerchief was handed over from beside her. She raised her eyes to see Ryuuji adjusting his glasses and speaking in a gentle tone, "Wipe off the water stains, it's alright..."

  Qingmu Yan didn't pretend either and just said thank you.

  Although the sun is about to set now, the temperature is still quite high. After wiping off the water stains, Karubin's fur dried quickly.

  Stroking the smooth cat hair, Akane's lips curled up with a faint smile. She really likes this little animal, it's so comfortable to hold, Karubin is cute and adorable, the texture of the cat hair feels really good.

  After helping her finish the bath, Kishinuma Akane and Yagami were about to leave, but unexpectedly, when she turned around, Kishinuma Akane almost bumped into a wall of flesh. She took a small step back, fortunately, Yagami helped her steady herself, only their mouths twitched slightly.

  That big girl who got off the bus with them, her figure is almost wider than hers and Liu Sheng's combined, it's wide, she originally intended to stand behind Liu Sheng and stick close to him, but when Kiriya Akane turned around, that figure wasn't even half of hers, almost bumping into her arms, and this girl didn't show any embarrassment at all, instead looking at Kiriya Akane with a face full of disgust, as if Kiriya Akane had touched something dirty...

  "......" She was actually being looked at with such a disgusting gaze? Other people's gazes, even if they were jealous, admiring, or gritting their teeth, just didn't have this kind of disgust. It's really... special.

  "Meow~" Karubin was the lucky one, fortunately didn't crash into it, otherwise he would have to take a bath again meow.

  This girl, although infatuated, didn't make a sound, expressing everything with her eyes and actions. Akane Takaoka didn't think about how to deal with this girl, so she walked around her and left. Yagyu Jubei wouldn't be caught dead taking another step with this big fat girl, he had some pride, how could he be targeted by this kind of girl? If that partner who feared nothing more than peace and quiet found out, who knows how he'd mock him?

  The big girl behind her once again showed her "loyalty" with action, closely following.

  Yuzuru: “......” Will he be able to shake off this girl?

  Yagyu and Akane walked side by side, Yagyu opening his mouth as if casually, "I'm Yagyu Bijin, a third-year student at Rikkyou..."

  Like this, Yagyu didn't think that the big fatty behind him had brightened his eyes, and his own name and school were known to the person behind him. He just wanted to exchange names with Kiriya Ayame, o(╯□╰)o

  "Kazuki Akane turned her head slightly and smiled faintly. 'My name is Kazuki Akane... Second-year student of the Ice Emperor...' "

  "It's called Kalubin..." Akane added, and the Kalubin in her arms meowed softly.

  ……

  He ran up to catch up with him, but before he could even stand beside him, he was glared at fiercely, "What are you following me for?! Keep a distance from me!"

  Qingshui didn't mind his fierce appearance at all, and stood beside him with a familiar tone, opening her mouth with a full of praise, "Hey, Xiaohai, you play basketball really well, super handsome!"

  In her heart, this Tsundere is just a proud and arrogant good-for-nothing. If she praises him, he might unconsciously lower his guard against her, making it easier to win his heart. She thinks that although he's fierce in the anime, as a prince, he must be kind-hearted and wouldn't really do anything to hurt her.

  "Hmph! I'm the ace, of course I play great! And I look great too!" Chiyoharu glared at her with an arrogant smile, thinking he had successfully lowered his guard. But then, he suddenly glared at her again, "Don't call me Little Haido! Idiot! Do you want to be stained red by me?!"

  "Hehe... But 'Little Seaweed' is a nice name!" Qing Shui thought it was nothing to be ashamed of, everyone called him that, but the person in front of her didn't like this nickname. He always felt it was hinting at his messy appearance! Isn't seaweed all tangled and messy? This woman, praising him for being handsome while also making a snide comment about his messiness? A hypocritical woman! How detestable!"

  If Qing Shui knew what this simple Hai Dai was thinking, he would probably vomit blood! How could she possibly imply that he was messy? Hai Dai is a term of endearment, okay?!

  Qian Yu had already lost patience with this woman, suddenly pulling his leg and sprinting away. Ahhh, the department's activities ahhh, it's too late, the deputy minister's iron sand palm is coming down again ahhh!

  "Ahh! Xiao Hai Dai!" Qing Shui Lian Si watched as he ran in the direction she had just gone, but the tennis club was definitely not that way!!!

  Qingshui Liangsi realized that he was being pointed in the opposite direction, and the direction of the tennis department where he was located was definitely opposite to the direction where Qie Yuanchi was going!

  Kaito Akatsuki ran back quickly, and in a whirlwind-like manner, he passed by the calm and collected Ryōsuke Kurokiba who was waiting for him on the spot. "Vice-Principal!!! I didn't mean to be late!!!"

  With her hair disheveled, Akane looked at him running far away, brushed her hair and hurried to follow, although the speed was not enough to see, but at least she knew that the tennis club was just over there.

  Kirihara Akira rushed all the way to the tennis club without any obstacles, and the girls from the cheering squad knew that it was strange for Kirihara not to be late. He must have gotten lost again. When he finally arrived, panting and shouting "Vice-president!", everyone had already made way for him before he even got there.

  Qian Yu's face was streaming with tears as she rushed into the tennis club, her eyes closed as if waiting for death, and bowed deeply. "I'm sorry! Deputy Director! I didn't mean to be late!"

  “……”

  Huh, where's Iron Palm? Why hasn't he come down yet? And it's also too quiet, isn't it?

  Qian Yu's eyes slightly opened a slit, but suddenly petrified! His eyes snapped open, and he straightened his waist, "Who is it?!!!"

  The sound of Akane Kishida's voice echoed emptily in the tennis club, and the cheering squad was silent because the princes were not there. What could they cheer for? None of them had received any news that the regulars wouldn't have practice today, and they were just waiting here. Maybe the regulars would come a bit later? However, Akane Kishida was always out of condition anyway.

  As for Qi Yuan's fan club, they genuinely found it amusing to see him petrified and didn't make a sound.

  "Ahhh! I forgot! I'm done for!" Kataori Akatsuki was petrified for a while before remembering what Yanagin said earlier, "Today's club activities are cancelled, everyone go to Yanagi's house" Ahhh! I'm dead meat! I'm dead meat! This time he'll definitely get hit with multiple iron sand palms!

  The clear water that ran over from the other side didn't hear the lively sounds she had imagined, and just as she was feeling a bit strange, Chihiro suddenly passed by her again like the wind, with such a strong gust of wind that her slender body almost couldn't stand still. However, she did see that the tennis club had no one, could it be that there was no practice today?

  The clear water cools down anxious thoughts! It's not easy to come all the way to Lihai University, how can she bear not seeing him among the other candidates?!

  Just then, Akane Tsunemori must have known where the regulars were, and she didn't dare to fall behind, so she followed up, but unfortunately her speed was really slow, how could she catch up with the regulars, and soon she was left far behind by Akane Tsunemori.

  She bit her lip tightly, full of unwillingness! Extremely unwilling! She couldn't wait any longer, Ling Mu Xiang gave her a great sense of threat, who knows if another traverser would come and compete with her? Only by first securing the princes' hearts could she be at ease!
