There's a Problem!
Utaha wasn't the only one to receive a gift; Yumiko and the girls from the Nakano Family also signed for their gifts downstairs.
Although the girls from the Nakano Family all received the best-selling flowers for Tanabata, the bouquets they received were different.
For example, both Ichika and Nino are red roses.
Miku and her friends are represented by yellow roses and irises, symbolizing friendship.
Nakano Yotsuba was very happy about this.
She still retained a childlike innocence and naivety, and her friendship with Fushimi Makoto had not changed for the time being, so she naturally did not envy Ichika and the others' red roses.
But Miku and Itsuki didn't think that way.
"I've already asked him to explain things to me so many times, and he's seen me naked so many times. It's obvious he likes me," Miku Nakano thought to herself.
Nakano Itsuki was initially disappointed, but when she saw the small card hidden inside the packaging, she suddenly blushed.
Because it says: I hope next time is Itsuki, not Itsuki of the imposter Nino.
"You want a next time? I was in so much pain that night..."
Nakano Itsuki blushed as she thought to herself.
She subconsciously ignored the fact that she actually felt very comfortable that night.
The sound was even louder than Ichika's.
Fushimi Makoto, of course, did not forget Hiratsuka Shizuka and Matsukaze Mayu.
But he didn't expect that the two of them would actually end up together on Tanabata).
Therefore, when Matsukaze Mayu a beaming smile, Hiratsuka Shizuka, standing beside her, felt as sour as a lemon.
We both failed, and Mayu and I both practiced our speaking skills, so why didn't I?
Hiratsuka Shizuka, however, was not angry.
Because of her unusual identity, she had already prepared to hide and go into hiding.
In other words, she doesn't intend to go public.
She felt somewhat unbalanced because she didn't receive a gift, while her friend, who was just as unworthy as her, did.
She sat silently in the living room for a while, feeling a pang of sadness, when her phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from the florist.
The other party delivered the message to the doorstep, but when no one answered, they dialed the contact number left by Fushimi Makoto.
"Oh, you can just leave the things at the door... Thank you for your help."
Hiratsuka Shizuka ran to the balcony before daring to make a sound.
After hanging up the phone, she looked flustered yet pleasantly surprised.
She was genuinely afraid that Matsukaze Mayu had overheard the phone conversation.
When she returned to the living room, she prepared an excuse to leave, but Matsukaze Mayu suddenly asked, "Shizuka, have you gotten a boyfriend recently?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "???"
Her heart almost stopped beating for a moment.
Matsukaze Mayu hesitated, "Because I've noticed a lot of changes in you."
Just like me.
It has a distinctly moisturized scent.
"You... you're overthinking it, aren't you? You know I always fail at blind dates." Hiratsuka Shizuka controlled her expression.
Matsukaze Mayu was taken aback, even more puzzled. "You used to get down every time you talked about blind dates, how come you can talk about it so naturally today?"
We're doomed!
I completely forgot about that!
Having a best friend you spend every day with has this downside.
Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was feeling flustered, Matsukaze Mayu blushed and leaned closer, whispering, "You and your boyfriend... you've done it, haven't you?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka was dumbfounded.
Is this the kind of question that the Saint Matsukaze would ask?
Etc!
Since she can see so much, it means...
Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze sharpened. "Mayu, you did it too?"
This time, it was Matsukaze Mayu remain silent.
Chapter 196 has a problem!
The reason why Hiratsuka Shizuka went to her friend's place on Tanabata was actually quite simple—she didn't want to put Fushimi Makoto in a difficult position.
In her eyes, Fushimi Makoto and Yukino were definitely a couple.
Although there have been many rumors about Nakano Ichika and Fushimi Makoto, she personally witnessed Yukino "forcefully kissing" Fushimi Makoto.
I am just a disqualified teacher; I shouldn't even think about celebrating Tanabata (Chinese Valentine's Day).
With these thoughts in mind, she did feel somewhat disappointed, but as an adult, she managed to control her emotions well.
That was what she thought until she answered the phone to receive the flowers.
Now, because of that phone call, she's starting to have some thoughts again.
In the world of fantasy and martial arts, it would be. "You monster, you've corrupted my resolve again!"
She had originally planned to go back early to receive the gift, but Matsukaze Mayu caught her off guard.
Now, both of them fell into an awkward silence, neither of them seeming too embarrassed to speak.
About a minute later, Matsukaze Mayu, seemingly unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, broke the silence. "Shizuka, I was the one asking you a question just now."
"But I'm also very curious about your situation," Hiratsuka Shizuka said instinctively.
Matsukaze Mayu's face began to flush. "Shall we exchange secrets?"
"Huh? Isn't it a bit unnecessary? I think a secret isn't a secret anymore once it's been told."
Let's exchange.
"..."
After a brief silence, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked up, both curious and guilty. "How do we exchange them?"
How about we say it together?
"... I suddenly feel so embarrassed."
"Then it's settled."
"Hey, Mayu."
"Three, two, one."
"I've done it." x2
The two beautiful teachers spoke at the same time.
As soon as she finished speaking, they all froze in shock.
"So you're one of them too..." x2
They fell silent again.
Matsukaze Mayu herself: Based on Shizuka's past experiences, the person she likes is definitely not a colleague from school, nor could it be a man she met at a blind date.
Hiratsuka Shizuka thought to herself: She actually did it! I thought she just practiced her speaking skills.
Compared to Matsukaze Mayu's intense curiosity, Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze was much more complex at this moment.
Now that it was getting dark and there was no one else in the house, Matsukaze Mayu nightgown.
Perhaps the topic they had just discussed was too suggestive, because Hiratsuka Shizuka remained silent while secretly glancing at her friend.
The other woman was shorter than him, but she was more voluptuous and sexy. Her delicate, flushed cheeks looked incredibly alluring, and her hair, casually draped behind her back, revealed her fiery figure without a coat, further accentuating the seductive charm she exuded.
Despite having such a large bust, she has a soft and slender waist with not an ounce of excess fat.
It's as if the word "plump" was tailor-made for her.
Even if Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't look at her friend's alluring bust, her gaze would still be stunned if she looked down. Those exaggerated curves slid down her small waist, extending down her wide hips to her round, white thighs.
That Fushimi guy got off easy!
Hiratsuka Shizuka pursed her lips tightly, it was hard to tell whether she envied Matsukaze Mayu or Fushimi Makoto.
After all, according to her aesthetic standards, Matsukaze Mayu an exceptional figure.
"But is it really possible for someone so short to withstand such exertion? That guy's stamina is monstrous; even I can't keep up..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka's thoughts drifted away.
On the other side.
Fushimi Makoto followed Yukinoshita and her daughter to their destination.
He had originally planned to wait in the car, since Yukino was only going up to get something, but Mrs. Yukinoshita invited him to come inside and sit for a while, so he came down.
The three arrived at the elevator. Mrs. Yukinoshita stood at the front, her back to the two younger women, her captivating eyes constantly shifting.
She recalled the scene where she had tried to Fushimi Makoto's hand, which stirred up strange emotions within her.
This matter bothered her a lot.
Is it my problem?
Is it still Makoto's problem?
Or perhaps...
Mrs. Yukinoshita controlled her thoughts and did not continue to think about it further.
But that doesn't mean she'll give up investigating.
She first bent down, her movements incredibly natural, and reached out to rub her snow-white ankles.
This scene was, of course, witnessed by Fushimi Makoto and Yukino.
"Is your foot bothering you? Or did you twist it in the crowd?" Yukino asked with concern.
Fushimi Makoto thought so too.
Previously, he had been busy rescuing people and giving statements at the police station. Apart from initially preventing Yukino and the others from being separated by the crowd, he hadn't paid much attention to anything else.
"I'm just feeling a little unwell," Mrs. Yukinoshita said calmly.
Yukino immediately realized she had guessed correctly.
A mother who is so strong-willed and concerned about her image would definitely not want to show it in front of the younger generation if she accidentally twisted her ankle.
Yukino was about to step forward to help her mother when she suddenly heard the other woman say, "Makoto, come and help me."
"Oh."
Without giving it much thought, Fushimi Makoto went up to him.
Yukino silently lowered her raised hand, feeling a little uneasy.
Who is your child, me or Fushimi?
Why do you seem to care more about him?
Although Yukino understood that Fushimi Makoto's talent and his amazing performance tonight had left a deep impression.
But as the daughter, she was right there, and her mother asked her friend to help, which was very frustrating.
As Fushimi Makoto drew closer, he caught a faint scent of Mrs. Yukinoshita's hair. He instinctively raised his arm, refraining from reaching out rashly. "How do you want me to help you?"
"Just hold my arm. My foot is just a little uncomfortable, but I can walk," Mrs. Yukinoshita said calmly.
