Chapter 124 Set her photo as wallpaper

"That doesn't taste like a cream puff in your mouth."

After watching the two leave, Shimizu Mitsuki thought about what Amemiya Iori said and returned to his room alone.

When I opened the door, I saw Sakurai Haruka lying on the bed in a very ungraceful manner.

The quilt that had been covering her was kicked aside, and her two long, sexy legs were tightly clamping the pillow that Qingshui had just washed yesterday.

"……remote?"

When Shimizu approached quietly, he found that Sakurai Haruka had fallen asleep, breathing evenly, and showed no signs of waking up.

Under the black eye mask, her sleeping face looks particularly peaceful. Although I have no other meaning, such an eye mask combined with this defenseless sleeping posture will inevitably make people imagine something else.

But it was fortunate that she was able to fall asleep in such a situation, as a silent war almost broke out outside before.

Qingshuijian wanted to help her remove the blindfold, but found that there seemed to be some transparent unknown liquid at the corner of her mouth.

The crystal saliva sparkled with a slight luster, leaving faint marks on Sakurai Haruka's cheeks, like silver ripples cast by the moonlight outside the window.

Saliva slowly slid down from the corner of her mouth, and Qingshui subconsciously reached out to wipe it away.

"Well……"

Sakurai Haruka let out a muffled hum due to this action, like a little animal being awakened from its sleep.

"……See?"

It was still dark in front of her, but the smell made Sakurai Haruka conclude that the person in front of her was Shimizu Mi.

Shimizumi reached behind her head and unfastened the clasp of the blindfold.

Soon, Sakurai Haruka's eyelids blinked slightly, and the first scene she saw when she opened her eyes was the face of her beloved person who made her feel at ease.

"...See, are you awake?"

Sakurai Haruka, who was half asleep, pouted her lips and reached out to touch Shimizumi's cheek, but her hand was empty because her eyes had not yet fully adapted to the light from the darkness.

"You are the one who should wake up."

"Is that right?"

Sakurai Haruka rubbed her sleepy eyes and responded.

"Do you want to sleep a little longer? I'll call you later and take you out for dinner."

"Eh? Are you planning to ask me out? If so, you should put in more effort—"

She suddenly perked up.

"Yeah, that's it."

Sakurai Haruka, who was originally trying to make a joke to tease Shimizumi, froze. Then she stood still, her face getting redder and redder.

She is really easy to understand.

Shimizu Mitsuki vaguely felt that the traces left by Sakurai Haruka in his house had been more or less noticed by Amemiya Iori.

With her almost paranoid insight, it would be unlikely that she didn't notice anything. She must have been on high alert now.

So Shimizu quickly took Sakurai Haruka away, so as not to let her notice anything unusual.

Otherwise, they would definitely fight.

……

Half an hour later, the two were walking on the streets of Tokyo at night, shivering in the gusts of north wind.

Before going out, Shimizu Mi asked Sakurai Haruka to change her suspender skirt into a white sweatshirt and brown trousers.

Although it's just an ordinary casual home wear, it looks particularly slim on Haruka Sakurai.

With her figure, she is more than qualified to be a model like Sakurai Shio.

The only lights around the road were the dim lights of buildings and taxis waiting to pick up passengers.

After stepping off the overpass across the road, I walked into a park path, where orange street lights were lined up on the withered yellow grass.

"Where are we going?"

Shimizu Ken looked at Sakurai Haruka, who was walking side by side with him, and asked how long it would take.

Originally, he wanted to take Sakurai Haruka to a random restaurant for dinner and then send her home, but halfway through, Sakurai Haruka suddenly said that there was a restaurant she wanted to go to.

She smiled and pointed forward.

"That's the one."

Qingshuijian looked over and saw a dessert shop with a rather fashionable appearance.

The wooden pattern exterior, large French windows that let in plenty of light, large green umbrellas on the outdoor seating, and a menu written in chalk on a blackboard near the door all give off a trendy feel.

Even at this time, the store was almost full, but perhaps because it had just rained, there were not many people in the outdoor seats.

Sakurai Haruka desperately pulled Shimizumi's arm, her eyes seemed to say: "How is it? Pretty good, right? Let's go to this one?"

"Well, let's go with this one."

Shimizu had no objection and accepted Sakurai Haruka's recommendation.

To be honest, it didn't matter which store Qingshui chose, and the weather was so cold after the rain, he just wanted to get indoors as soon as possible to keep warm.

If Shimizu was the only one there, he would never step into a store like this that seemed to be exclusively for girls, but today with Sakurai Haruka by his side, it didn't hurt to go in.

"Anyway, hurry up and go in. It's too cold outside."

"Ah."

Sakurai Haruka walked into the store with brisk steps, following closely behind Shimizumi.

Having just woken up, she looked particularly energetic in this quiet night.

This cafe not only looks good on the outside, but also has a stylish interior. The tables and chairs used in the store are very exquisite, and each seat has a unique style, which shows the owner's dedication.

The walls and cabinets are also decorated with many cute little items, presumably in order for the merchants to firmly grasp the hearts of female customers.

Qingshui saw the two of them being led by the waiter to a double sofa at the farthest point on the right side where they sat down. The dim moonlight shone in from the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the avenue.

After Sakurai Haruka sat down opposite Shimizu Mi, Shimizu Mi handed her the menu.

Since she recommended coming here, she must have been here before.

“There are so many options, it’s hard to decide…”

Sakurai Haruka was concentrating on looking at the menu, and since there was no menu to look at, Shimizu Ken could only stare at her in a daze.

When she noticed Shimizu's gaze, she turned the menu around and moved it in front of him.

There are indeed many types.

Swiss roll, cheesecake, French caramel pudding, macaron layer cake...

Sakurai Haruka looked at the menu, as if she wanted Shimizu to make the decision, but Shimizu had just finished eating Amemiya Iori's hot pot, so how could she eat anything else?

In the end, this task was given to Sakurai Haruka.

She studied the menu with some difficulty and raised her head.

"I've decided."

"Then order food."

The waiter came to the two of them, and Sakurai Haruka clicked on the menu a few times.

"I want Assam tea and macaroons... that's all."

Shimizu Mi noticed the subtle movement of Sakurai Haruka's mouth, which showed a lingering expression.

"It's okay, just order what you like, it's my treat."

When Sakurai Haruka heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she carefully confirmed, "Is it really okay?"

Shimizu Mitsuko responded with a look that said "of course".

"Then... two more cheesecakes like this and one more strawberry pudding cake. Ah, can I have another ice cream?"

Qingshui Jian would never say something that would spoil the mood, such as desserts are high in calories and fat, and eating too much sweets is bad for the body.

What’s more, the prices in this store are very affordable, so even if you order a little more, it won’t be too much of a burden.

Perhaps it was because of this that Sakurai Haruka brought Shimizu here.

"I'll just have an espresso."

Qingshuijian just ordered a cup of coffee, and after ordering his food, he had a leisurely waiting time.

Soft jazz music lingers in the ears, and the soft moonlight at night shines through the spotless French windows, filling the entire room, creating a unique style of a dessert shop. The conversations of other guests have an indescribable sense of distance, giving people the illusion of floating in the water.

Shimizumi's consciousness naturally focused on Sakurai Haruka in front of him.

She held her cheek with her hand, leaned her elbow on the armrest, looked at the scenery outside the window with her face turned sideways, hummed a song, and seemed to be looking forward to the dessert being served.

The tune of the song seemed to be the one that Amemiya Iori had hummed before. Although Shimizu Mi had some impression of it, he really couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

Thinking that maybe he would remember it when he saw this scene in the future, Shimizu took out his cell phone and tried to aim the camera at Sakurai Haruka's profile.

After pressing the shutter button, the phone made a loud shutter sound, and Sakurai Haruka's figure was captured on the small screen of the phone.

As expected, the photos turned out great.

But the next moment, Shimizu realized something - Japanese mobile phones cannot turn off the flash when taking pictures.

Sakurai Haruka, who was standing opposite, seemed to have noticed something, and quickly withdrew her gaze from the window, looking deeply at Shimizu Ken. A meaningful and seductive smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Qing Shuijian's heart tightened, this was all...

He watched Sakurai Haruka slowly stand up from her seat, then walk towards him with a malicious smile.

What is she going to do?
"Hey, Haruka, don't..."

Shimizu Mi wanted to say that he knew he was wrong, but Sakurai Haruka ignored his wishes and just sat between Shimizu Mi's legs.

"It's not appropriate in a place like this..."

Although the two of them were sitting in a corner of the store, there were so many customers that it was hard to guarantee that no one would notice them.

"I won't just listen to you. This is my seat."

As Sakurai Haruka tilted her head slightly, her smiling face with the temptation of an unripe peach looked back straight at Shimizumi.

"Don't you want to take a photo? Of course we should be in the photo together. What's the point of taking a photo of just me?"

Sakurai Haruka said this while leaning in Shimizumi's arms, and then took the phone from Shimizumi's hand.

“What does one plus one equal?”

Sakurai Haruka held the phone in one hand and made a "yeah" gesture with the other hand, while urging Shimizu Miyabi to do the same quickly.

"No need, just come for a meal."

An inexplicable feeling of shame made Qingshuijian want to refuse, he was not the kind of person who liked to be on camera.

"But you were the one who wanted to take the photo just now."

Sakurai Haruka puffed up her cheeks and poked Shimizu Ken's cheek with her finger in a somewhat depressed manner.

"Do unto others, do not impose on others."

The moral principles of life in the previous life suddenly flashed through his mind. Shimizu could not stand Sakurai Haruka's urging, and made a "two" gesture with his hand and a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.

"Ouch, your smile is too stiff, and your hands should be placed here."

Sakurai Haruka pulled Shimizumi's right hand, placed it on her abdomen, and hugged her slender waist.

At this time, a faint scent of hair and shampoo wafts from the silky hair, which is vague and like the fragrance of flowers blooming in a garden. This fragrance is not pungent, but seems to linger gently in people's hearts.

Qingshuijian took a sniff inadvertently, afraid that his consciousness would drift away with him, so he stopped breathing for a moment and held Sakurai Haruka tighter.

But Sakurai Haruka neither felt disgusted nor said she hated it. Her cheeks just slowly turned red and she let out a sweet sigh.

"Let's take a quick shot."

"Okay, okay..."

Sakurai Haruka adjusted her bangs, then gently hooked her arm around Shimizumi's and rested her head on his chest.

Then she clicked the shutter twice with her selfie camera.

The unexpectedly intimate action made Shimizu Mi freeze on the spot. After checking the photos, Sakurai Haruka smiled shyly, whispered "This is the feeling", and then showed the picture to Shimizu Mi.

In the photo without any post-production or PS editing, Shimizu Mie hugged Sakurai Haruka's waist, and Sakurai Haruka fell happily in his arms. Although Sakurai Haruka had a happy smile on her face, Shimizu Mie's expression looked stiff just by looking at it.

“Take a few more pictures.”

Sakurai Haruka seemed unsatisfied and changed various poses with Shimizu Mi and took several photos in succession.

Suddenly, Sakurai Haruka let out a small "Oh" and her eyes shone brightly.

It turned out to be the waiter from before who came over with the cake.

At this time, the waiter looked at the two people sitting together with an awkward smile, quickly placed the cake, pudding, black tea and coffee on the table and left.

Young people nowadays have a lot of fun.

That’s definitely what the waiter just now thought!

But Sakurai Haruka didn't seem to mind this kind of contact with Shimizu Mi. On the contrary, she looked very satisfied as she checked the photos she had just taken.

"Haruka, sit back down."

"Never."

Sakurai Haruka continued looking at the photo and answered without thinking.

"…If you don't eat it now, the ice cream will melt."

"Well, I know."

Since she was holding Shimizu's cell phone, it was hard for her not to care.

"What are you doing?"

Shimizu watched as Sakurai Haruka swiped through the photos she had just taken in the album, and finally stopped at the first photo she had taken, and then -

She set it as the lock screen wallpaper!
"remote……"

Just as Shimizu was about to speak, Sakurai Haruka spoke first.

"Don't change it!"

Sakurai Haruka's remarks were made completely from the perspective of a girlfriend, leaving Shimizu Mi unable to refute.

"……I see."

There was no other way, Qing Shuijian had to agree first and change it later -

"You can't change it secretly! Otherwise you know the consequences!"

Sakurai Haruka seemed to see through Shimizu Ken's thoughts and gently pinched his cheek, using a threatening tone.

Is it great to know Aikido?

Qing Shuijian sighed softly: "I won't do that, so sit back down."

Although there are some concerns, Amamiya Iori has never asked to "check on him" or check his phone, so there shouldn't be any big problem.

Thinking of this, Qingshuijian quickly enjoyed his coffee before it got cold.

……

After finishing their meal, the two came to the front desk to pay the bill. The sky outside seemed to be much darker than before.

The night wind blew gently, and the cold air kept seeping in through the gaps in the door.

"See you, we'll come again next time...ah!"

After paying the bill and preparing to leave the dessert shop, Sakurai Haruka suddenly stopped as if she saw something unbelievable.

Qingshui looked towards the door and saw a man and a woman walking in from outside the store.

One is a young man wearing glasses, who looks gentle and gives people a bookish feeling. The other is a blonde woman who still wears black sunglasses and a mask at night.

But even with such deliberate concealment, it is difficult to conceal its outstanding temperament.

The two of them did not notice Shimizu Mi and Sakurai Haruka and walked straight in another direction.

"Haruka, that person just now was..."

Shimizu suddenly stopped talking halfway and turned to look at Sakurai Haruka who was holding his sleeve tightly.

Although the dim light in the store was not very good and the man's face was almost covered by sunglasses and a mask, there was no doubt that the person just now was Sakurai Shio.

As for the man next to him, Qingshui had never seen him before.

Boyfriend?
Shimizu Mi had never heard that Sakurai Shio had a boyfriend.

Moreover, judging from Sakurai Haruka's reaction, she seemed to know that person...
