Chapter Thirty-One: The Date

  Early in the morning, I was woken up by Sebastian. I asked him why he woke me up so early, and again with his perfect butler smile, he said "Miss, Hidamari-kun and Nomiki-kun are going to report to Tomoeda Elementary School today, aren't you going to see them off?" While saying that, he helped me put on my clothes. Although I felt a bit awkward at first, Sebastian said "It's what butlers should do." and I gradually got used to it.

  "Has Xia Le gotten up?" He yawned and rubbed his eyes which were still full of sleepiness after just waking up.

  "Master has already gotten up and is currently in the main hall." As he helped me adjust the ribbon on my chest, the white ribbon with light blue lace trim looked lovely tied by Sebastian. The clothes I'm wearing now were all chosen by him and Ciel to have a noble style from 19th century England.

  As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Zao and Liu Jia Tu wearing the uniform of Youzhi Elementary School. The pure white uniform looked like a sailor suit, followed by black shorts, a red tie, and a very cute white hat. "Zao, Liu Jia Tu~~~ you guys are so adorable~~~" I couldn't help but exclaim.

  "I've told you before, don't say men are cute." The words from Zao were filled with threat, and I could clearly see several veins bulging on his forehead. His eyes seemed to be saying "I've warned you many times, not allowed to say men are cute, do you understand or not?! Idiot."

  I pouted "Zao is not a man, he's just a boy."

  "Holly, we'll become men one day." Liu Jia stroked the rabbit in his arms. It seems like every time I've seen Liu Jia since I met him, he's been holding that rabbit... childhood friends?

  "I get it." When Jujube and Liu Gou's rabbit turns into a man, they become unlovable.

  After finishing breakfast, I arranged for the driver to send dates and flow racks to school. Actually, I wanted to send Yangyi too, but I was afraid that if Yangyi wasn't happy, he would let out a ghost to scare people to death, so it's better to wait until he understands things before saying anything.

  "Xia Er, why don't we go out and have some fun?" Looking at him expectantly, and also taking the opportunity to take a look at that Li Xiao Lang.

  "Ah." Xial rubbed the pale blue ring on his thumb and responded to me. I tilted my head, feeling strange, thinking that Xial's voice seemed much gentler than before, not as arrogant as it used to be.

  I sat with Xiaolong on the tree stump, observing the situation of Class B for four years. This is the class that Zao and Liu Jiaotu transferred to, and of course, there's also Li Xiaolang in that class. I believe that with Liu Jiaotu around, Zao won't start a fire casually.

  "Oh, Xia Er, look at those girls over there, they're so into it! They're all shooting out heart eyes." She pointed to the girls whose eyes were constantly popping out hearts, of course, some girls just had a little blush on their faces.

  "Kurenai, is this what you were talking about?" Sharu sighed and gazed at the two boys with a deep expression. She was worried about them, wishing she had discovered them earlier.

  "No, I just happened to see Li Xiaowu's ~~" Why did I see Zao staring at Li Xiaowu? I just showed him his photo and said he was cute. "Li Xiaowu's magic is still very weak, Xial~~ let's go play, I heard there are many fun things in the human world."

  "Ah." Xial looked at the brown-haired Li Xiaowolf with a profound gaze before jumping down from the tree with the girl.

  "Xia Er, this is the business street that Li Mo was talking about. I heard there are many delicious foods here. How about we go to the amusement park later?" As soon as I thought of Li Mo, I couldn't help but shudder. It's been a long time since I last looked for her, will she scold me?

  "Ah, don't eat too much." Xia Er leaned on his cane, looking very helpless.

  "Hmm." Xavier, are you sure you want to keep leaning on your cane? There are a lot of people watching us.

  "Look, look! These two kids are so adorable!"

  "But why is that boy wearing an eye mask? Is it...?"

  "Let's go." Charles frowned and glanced at the crowd that had gathered because of us, then pulled me by the hand in a different direction.

  "Xia Er, why do I always feel like we shouldn't be in places with so many people? We're always being squeezed by them." I pouted discontentedly, my gaze sliding to the hands that Xia Er and I were holding, his hand was so warm... Why did I have a strange sense of familiarity? It felt like I had been holding these hands for a very, very long time...

  "Hum! They're just a bunch of people who like to join in the fun, no need to bother with them."

  "It seems like there's an ice cream shop over there, let's go eat together~~" She pulled his hand and ran towards the ice cream shop.

  I ran too fast and bumped into someone on the opposite side. "Sorry." Rubbed the forehead that was knocked over.

  "Kaito! Ah~ does it hurt?" Xial turned me to face him, lifted my bangs and checked if I was injured. "Fortunately, you're not hurt." He visibly let out a sigh of relief.

  "Sorry, Xiaolong." Hanging his head with a "my fault" expression.

  "Don't be so reckless next time." Charles scolded, but he turned his head in another direction, yet why was his face red? (Young Master is being arrogant)

  "Kurenai?!" The voice behind me seemed completely disbelieving.

  I turned around and saw Lantang, he was wearing casual clothes and looked very handsome. "Lantang." How did I run into him here? I had originally planned to go back on the day of the dance party.

  "Aoi Sakura, didn't you go to Alice Academy? Weren't you supposed to come back on the day of the ball?"

  "I came back ahead of time, but indeed it was on the day of the dance party that I went back."

  "Hurry back, everyone is missing you. That Lila has gone back to her old self after you went to Alice Academy!!" As expected, it's all because of me, I don't know why but my presence seems to affect their personalities in a weird way. Though I do know that Aoi was always a bit childish to begin with.

  "I understand."

  "Huh? Who is he?" Lantu seemed to have finally noticed Shale's existence, but a bright red cross had appeared on Shale's forehead.

  "Charles Vandomein." Charles has returned to his former self, I always thought he had become gentler, was it an illusion?

  "Foreigners, look at you guys... Akira, are you actually on a date with this kid?" Why did a hint of sadness and annoyance flash across Lantian's eyes?

  Dating, according to the dictionary, means going out with someone you like. I really like Xia Le and we're going out to have fun, so... "Yes, we are dating."

  Strange, I just heard a few oba-san voices saying "such a young child has learned to date already, it's really youthful."

  "Both kids are so adorable~~ I'm sure their parents have already arranged their marriage."

  "It must be love at first sight~~"

  "Lan Tang, your ice cream." Jia Yuan Xiao suddenly appeared, still holding a chocolate ice cream in her hand.

  I looked at Lan Tang and then at Xiao. Lan Tang and Xiao are cousins, and they have a very good relationship. They must like each other and often go out together to play.

  "Kurenai, what's wrong?" Aoi and Toudou asked in unison, feeling a bit uneasy under the gaze of the children.

  "Ah ah, even the tacit understanding is very good. "I know, Blue Tang is on a date with Jia Yuan, right ~~""

  "Xiaolong, let's not have ice cream, we'll go eat something else. Lantang, we're leaving, bye~~" waved goodbye and pulled Xiaolong who was half paralyzed away.

  "English, it seems we've been misunderstood." Akatsuki Aoi wiped away a cold sweat as he watched the figure disappear into the distance.

  "Ahh!! I don't know anything!!" Lán Táng's face turned red with anger at the words "Yes, we're on a date." and he snatched the ice cream from Xiǎo Yuàn's hand and started eating it.

  "Wow! So cute~~ That young man still blushes on a date."

  "Yes, the blond-haired boy is as pretty as a girl, while the boy standing next to him has a mature and steady look."

  "Wow~~ They match so well~~" (We suspect that all around are rotten girls)
