In this crossover anime/manga series, I started by supporting Akane the Seven-Tails.

Upon hearing this, Minase Shizuru's expression changed slightly, and a hint of displeasure appeared between her brows.

{You said it was just the two of us before I agreed; if I had known there would be others, I wouldn't have come.}

Thinking this, she was about to find an excuse to leave when she saw Kyoko suddenly wave happily: "Here! Here!"

Subconsciously turning her head to look, when she saw two people walking towards her not far away, a faint glint appeared in Minase Shizuru's eyes.

There's not much to say about the one on the left. Although he looks okay, that's just how he is.

The one on the right is different. She is wearing a white T-shirt and black sweatpants. She has a tall and straight figure, and her lips are red and her teeth are white.

In his eyes, as deep as Lake Baikal, it seemed as if the birth and destruction of stars were unfolding.

The smile that played at the corners of his lips was like Cupid's arrow, piercing deep into her heart.

As the daughter of Minase City Councilor Minase, Shizuru Minase has seen many high-quality men over the years.

But this time, she suddenly felt her heart flutter.

The words of departure that were already on the tip of my tongue could no longer be uttered.

A moment later, when the two came to her, Kyoko released Minase Shizuru, hugged the boy who was fairly good-looking, and said softly, "Shizuru, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Mikami Yujiro, and that is Yujiro's friend, Hayakawa-kun."

With a smile that deepened, Lin Chuan extended his right hand and said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Hello, Lin Chuan."

"Hello, this is Minase Shizuru."

As she spoke, Shizuru Minase extended her snow-white, delicate hand and lightly shook it with his.

When she felt the heat from that big hand, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a blush rose on her snow-white face.

Seeing the sweet, cloying scent of romance emanating from the two of them, a sly smile appeared in Anzu's eyes.

Immediately, he stepped in as a wingman: "Lin Chuan-kun, Jing Liu doesn't have a boyfriend yet~, so if you're interested, please don't..."

Seeing the other party's unrestrained speech, Minase Shizuru immediately blushed and said in a disgruntled tone, "Kyoko, if you keep saying that, I'm leaving."

"Okay! Okay! I won't say it, I won't say it, alright?"

"Let's go, let's grab something to eat first, and then watch the fireworks show tonight."

She glanced quickly at Lin Chuan and saw that he was still smiling at her. A wave of shyness washed over her, and she couldn't help but bury her head in her chest.

Contrary to her actions, the girl's favorability rating skyrocketed, breaking through the 60-point mark in a short period of time.

Soon, in an izakaya with over twenty years of history, after the previously ordered side dishes were served, Yujiro Mikami raised his glass: "To celebrate our gathering today, cheers!"

Looking at the amber-colored liquid in the glass in front of her, Shizuru Minase showed a hint of hesitation on her small face.

Her family has always been quite strict, and her father had explicitly forbidden her from drinking alcohol. But now that the atmosphere has been set, it would be a real shame not to drink.

Just as the girl was struggling with her dilemma, Lin Chuan seemed to notice her embarrassment and waved to a waiter not far away: "Waiter, a glass of juice, please."

Upon hearing this, Minase Shizuru breathed a sigh of relief, and her gaze towards Lin Chuan was filled with gratitude.

Just then, Kyoko, the wingman, stirred things up again: "Lin Chuan-kun is really chivalrous, isn't he? Is he interested in our Jing Liu?"

"Let me tell you, if you're interested, you'd better act quickly. Our Jingliu's crush at school... um~"

Before she could finish speaking, Minase Shizuru, whose face was already flushed, reached out her fair hand to cover her mouth.

At the same time, he couldn't help but regret it. If he had known that she would be so outspoken, he would never have agreed to come out with her.

However, if I hadn't come out with her, I probably wouldn't have met Lin Chuanjun...

Looking at the girl's somewhat complicated thoughts, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Then, following Kyoko's words, she continued, "Oh~, then I wonder what kind of girl Shizuru likes?"

One sentence made Minase Shizuru's heart skip a beat.

Immediately afterwards, my heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest, thump-thump-thump.

Under pressure, her movements unconsciously became slightly larger...

After a while, Kyoko, who had finally escaped from Minase Shizuru's clutches after much effort, complained coquettishly, "Shizuru, you almost suffocated me~"

Faced with her questioning, Shizuru Minase, who was in the wrong, could only lower her head deeply and pick up the juice on the table to drink.

In her panic, she didn't even realize that she had grabbed the wrong cup.

After realizing what had happened, I saw that most of the liquid in the cup had already disappeared.

Minase Shizuru, who has never drunk alcohol since childhood, can only be described as a complete novice when it comes to alcohol.

After downing half a glass of beer, she felt a little dizzy, and her cheeks flushed even more, making her look stunningly beautiful under the soft light.

Next, with Kyoko's occasional assistance and Lin Chuan's saintly silver tongue, Minase Shizuru's favorability rating slowly but steadily increased.

Before they knew it, it was completely dark outside, and Kyoko suggested going to see the fireworks display.

Naturally, no one would refuse this.

However, there were indeed a lot of people watching the fireworks show today.

As soon as they arrived at the venue, they were separated by the crowd.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan was close to Minase Shizuru, and seeing that she was about to be pushed away by 5.3, he grabbed her warm little hand in time.

She gently pulled him into her arms and said in a low voice, "There are too many people here, let's go over there?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a place not far away where there were fewer people.

At this moment, Minase Shizuru, whose mind had already gone blank from the strong scent of male hormones, subconsciously nodded her little head.

After a while, once they arrived at their destination, the girl finally came to her senses. She lowered her head slightly and whispered in a voice barely above a whisper, "Lin...Lin Chuan-kun, you can let me go now."

If Lin Chuan were to actually let go in this situation, he would truly be a fool.

"No, there are still too many people here. What if another surge comes..."

Hearing that high-sounding excuse, Shizuru Minase pursed her cherry lips, her pearly white teeth gleaming, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, yet also a touch of faint joy...

Chapter 233 A Kiss Seals the Deal Under the Fireworks

Just as Minase Shizuru was feeling embarrassed, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

I subconsciously raised my head, and what caught my eye was the colorful and dazzling fireworks.

Gazing at the breathtaking view in the sky, the girl's face showed a hint of fascination, and a faint smile slowly appeared on her lips.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly and lightly scratched his palm a few times with his right hand.

Faced with this unexpected turn of events, Minase Shizuru instantly snapped out of her reverie amidst the beautiful scenery.

Her already rosy cheeks looked as if they were covered with a thick layer of rouge.

It’s red and very tempting!

With a slight effort, the girl tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't. She looked at Lin Chuan and said, "Lin Chuan-kun..."

I was about to say something when I suddenly felt my chin being lifted up.

Immediately afterwards, a deep and magnetic voice quietly resonated in her ear: "Jing Liu, you're so beautiful~"

The sound fell, giving her no chance to react, and the world suddenly went dark.

In an instant, Minase Shizuru felt a roar in her mind, and her brain went completely blank...

After a while, Lin Chuan slowly released the delicate and powerless beauty in his arms, his face full of apology: "Jing Liu, I'm sorry, you are just too beautiful, I couldn't control myself for a moment."

Faced with such irresponsible remarks, Minase Shizuru was so angry that her chest heaved.

Before she could speak, Lin Chuan's voice rang out again: "But don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility."

With just one sentence, the anger that had just risen in Minase Shizuru's heart dissipated by ninety-nine percent in an instant.

"Hmph~, who wants you to take responsibility?"

She gave a defiant snort and turned to leave.

But just then, she felt a strong, powerful hand encircle her waist.

The next moment, the familiar feeling returned...

In the end, Shizuru Minase gave in and acquiesced to her relationship with Rin.

Around eight or nine o'clock at night, near a manor spanning nearly a thousand square meters, Minase Shizuru looked at Lin Chuan beside her and said, "I... I'm home."

"Good morning~"

Upon hearing this, the girl felt inexplicably unhappy.

What a clueless straight man, all he does is try to keep me here?

Just then, she suddenly saw an incomparably handsome face getting closer and closer to her.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Gently stroking her smooth, porcelain-like cheek, Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Consider this your fare for this trip."

"Hmph~, you bad guy~"

With a glint of light in her eyes, she let out a soft, disgruntled complaint before pushing open the car door and hurrying away with her shapely, ivory-carved legs.

Once back in her room, she collapsed onto the bed and hugged the half-person-tall rabbit plush toy to her chest.

She felt like she was going crazy for getting into a relationship with a guy she'd only known for a few hours.

"But...but Lin Chuan-kun really makes me feel at ease..."

After a moment, she murmured softly and buried her head deep into the doll.

At the same time, Lin Chuan, who had escorted the girl home, suddenly returned to the villa where Yoshinaga Reina lived.

Looking at the beautiful woman in a white nightgown, curled up on the sofa watching TV, a smile slowly crept onto his lips.

He slowly approached from behind and gently embraced her.

Suddenly attacked, Yoshinaga Reina clenched her fists, instinctively ready to retaliate.

But the next second, when she felt that familiar heat and smelled that strong scent of male hormones, her furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and a look of joy appeared on her cold yet charming face.

Zhen raised her head slightly, and upon seeing Lin Chuan's handsome face with its sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, her clear, autumn-like eyes slowly curved into crescent moons: "Master~"
