Tipping Bucket Garden's Big Silly Camellya

Wuling was completely unaware that the two girls were mentally analyzing his skill level. He glanced at his watch; the night had already fallen.

"It's getting late, and it's completely dark outside. We should get ready to head back."

Hearing this, Chun slowly turned her gaze away from the window, a faint sense of reluctance passing through her heart, but her expression remained the same as always.

"Yes, it's getting late."

Little Kuai straightened up, placing his hands on the edge of the table, his interest not yet completely gone.

"Leaving so soon? Won't you stay a little longer?"

"If we go back any later, Encore will get sleepy." Chun glanced at Encore beside her.

Encore immediately cooperated by yawning slightly and rubbing her eyes, looking like she was about to fall asleep, but she was very clear-headed. She was leaving, but she couldn't waste the opportunity to say goodbye.

Wuling stood up and reached for the bill, Little Kuai pressed the paper down and waved his hand with a smile.

"This meal is on me, don't try to take it. Please come again next time you have time."

"How could I possibly accept this?" Wuling wanted to argue.

After all, it seems strange that you treated someone to a meal as an apology, and then their friend even waived the bill for you.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Little Kuai blinked, his gaze sweeping over Chun, seemingly unintentionally.

"Next time, if the two of you come alone, consider it making up for this meal."

As for Encore, we'll just leave her at kindergarten or at home for now. There's no other way; for your sister's happiness, we'll have to make this sacrifice for now.

Chun's breath hitched for a moment. She wanted to reach out and cover Little Kuai's mouth, but Xiao Kuai ducked and dodged her. Being short definitely has its advantages; at least it's not easy for others to catch you.

Ke Wuling simply nodded. "Okay, we'll definitely come again when we have time."

Little Kuai:...

Doesn't he understand that the two of them coming alone means...?

Chun didn't refuse at all. If a girl doesn't refuse, doesn't that mean she agrees? Have you ever seen a girl agree to go out to eat alone with a guy?

Excluding siblings and the like.

The group got up and left the booth one after another. Encore jumped off the chair and casually took Wuling's hand, causing Chun's outstretched hand to freeze awkwardly in mid-air.

But Encore hadn't actually forgotten her. After taking Wuling's hand, she reached out her other hand to take Chun's hand.

Two soft little hands, one tightly gripping Wuling, the other firmly holding Chun, her small body nestled between them, like a special bond between two people.

Wuling: "Let's go, let's go back."

Little Kuai, who was leaning against the table, could see everything clearly, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his lips.

Encore and Ke Ke are so sensible. The three of them walked hand in hand, looking just like two parents with a child.

Click--

With the click of a camera shutter, the image of the three holding hands from behind was captured.

Little Kuai looked at Chun and gave her a thumbs-up, his eyes full of encouragement.

Good luck! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, or you might miss out on a clearance sale.

If you like someone, you should be brave and pursue them! Although I've never been in a relationship before, I'm sure it's always right to be bold and take the plunge, especially with someone like this who's completely clueless about roundabout ways.

You have to deal with the machine using the same methods you would use to deal with it. Go straight for the ball, without any beating around the bush. Otherwise, even if you tell him you want to sleep with him at night, he'll just think you're afraid of the dark.

Chun caught a glimpse of her friend's teasing look, her ears burned slightly, and she gently turned her head away, not daring to meet her gaze any longer.

The streetlights on both sides of the street spread out one after another, and the soft orange light covered the sidewalk, making the three people's shadows long and thin, gently overlapping each other.

Goodbye, Sister Xiaokuai.

Encore turned around, and Tian Tian waved her little hand.

Take care on your journey, come again next time!

Little Kuai leaned against the doorframe, waving, his gaze fixed on Chun, silently mouthing repeatedly. "Let's meet alone, don't forget."

Chun turned her head, tightened her grip on Encore's hand slightly, and followed Wuling forward, while making an OK sign behind her back with her right hand.

She understands the principle, of course, but knowing it is one thing, being able to do it is another.

She's fine with him teasing people normally, but when it comes to something real, she instantly chickens out.

As for why she had such a strong liking for a junior she had only met twice, her answer was that she was attracted to him, plus intuition.

Chun once read a book that said there are 20,000 people in the world who will fall in love with you at first sight, but unfortunately you may never meet any of them in your lifetime.

Love at first sight isn't magic; it's destiny.

Therefore, the feeling at that instant cannot be wrong.

In Wuling's view, Wu Ling was not one of the 20,000 people, but the only one among the 8 billion.

Chun didn't know how many people were on Wuling's fate line, nor did she care. All she needed to know was whether she was on it or not, no matter which number she was.

Her ambitions were small, even insignificant; she only wanted to exist, and that was all she had—small, even somewhat humble.

Even if he is dull-witted at this moment, unable to see through anything or understand anything.

Along the way, Encore and Chun were brainstorming, while only Wuling, who was walking on the far left, was thinking about what to eat for breakfast the next day.

I have to go to work tomorrow. The coffee shop opens at 8:30 to tidy up, then officially starts business at 9:00 and stays open until 9:00 PM. I need to eat something good.

Let's start with a basket of steamed buns, then a cup of soy milk, two ears of corn, and a tea egg. There should be breakfast stalls near the school gate in the morning, and if so, I'll also buy a rice ball.

We'll leave right after we finish eating. It's impossible to bring them food, and Calcharo probably won't be able to get up anyway. Hmm, I'll just set my alarm and put it on Calcharo's bedside table so it'll wake him up.

Wuling silently gave himself a thumbs up for his intelligence. "I'm such a caring friend!"

"Um, Brother Wuling, Sister Chun, have we come to the wrong place?"

"Um?"

Wuling suddenly snapped out of her daze, pulling herself out of her mind's breakfast list, and looked around blankly.

The surrounding scenery was completely unfamiliar; he had never seen it before.

That doesn't make sense. I don't even know where other people's houses are. It would be strange if they could recognize them. What am I supposed to look for then?

"It seems so. I was thinking about something and accidentally went too far. I'm so sorry."

Chun smiled apologetically and then pulled the two of them back.

"By the way, Chun... where do you live? Is it far from here?"

After asking casually at Wuling, he glanced at the surrounding street scene, silently memorizing the route, intending to safely escort them home before turning back. But he seemed to have forgotten about something called navigation.

Chun slowed her pace slightly, keeping pace with Wuling. They weren't far away; they could already see the outlines of the residential buildings in the distance. After turning two more corners, they would reach their destination.

"It's not far, just past the Tipping Bucket Garden, about two intersections ahead."

"I rented a place there with Encore. Wuling's a two-bedroom apartment. If you're interested, you're welcome to come over for a visit."
