Nagai Hikaru's Ke Xuexing

Chapter 254: Ordinary Lover

"To be honest, I'm very happy to receive the chocolate you gave me, but you're too perfunctory. Just buy it directly." Karasuma Mingguang Banyue looked at the chocolate in his hand and said, "At least heat the chocolate in a pot and change the shape before giving it to me."

Suzuki Sonoko said disdainfully: "You also buy gifts directly every year for White Valentine's Day."

"But why aren't you doing it by hand this year?" Karasuma Akimitsu asked curiously.

"Do you remember?" Suzuki Sonoko came over happily, bending down to look up at Karasuma Akimitsu, "How much do you remember?"

"No, but from your face I can guess that you are the type who likes to spend time on this matter."

Suzuki Sonoko was deflated all of a sudden: "Yes, in previous years, Xiaolan would do this kind of thing with me, but now... I'm sorry, I didn't even think about it yesterday that today is Valentine's Day, and Sera who goes to school with me didn't pay any attention to this either. Yesterday, all she talked to me about was the detective drama she saw these few days."

"So you were careless and forgot the date, right?"

"Yes."

"Tomorrow is Guan Ze's birthday..."

"I told her a long time ago! She welcomes you to her birthday party very much, she's very happy." Suzuki Sonoko clenched her fist and said, "Sera went with you too."

Karasuma Akimitsu tore open the chocolate wrapper, took out a piece of truffle chocolate from it, and stuffed it into his mouth: "But you actually forgot, don't you have a boyfriend?"

"Yes, so what I bought for him was the special edition!" Suzuki Sonoko said with a blushing face, "and I confessed my feelings to him last year."

"When will we give it to him?" Karasuma Akimitsu took out another truffle chocolate and fed it to Suzuki Sonoko naturally. Suzuki Sonoko also casually opened her mouth and took a bite.

"Just a moment. I asked him to meet me at the Hachiko statue." Suzuki Sonoko said while sipping chocolate.

Karasuma Akimitsu felt an inexplicable chill on his back, and goose bumps appeared on his forearms under the sleeves of his dark purple kimono: "I feel like I'm being targeted by murderous intent..."

"Ah Zhen!" Suzuki Sonoko called out from behind Karasuma Akimitsu, "You arrived early?"

Karasuma Mingguang turned his head and saw a man standing five meters away. His face was dark and he could see raging anger behind him.

"Ms. Sonoko... who is this? Is this your new boyfriend?" The man's voice was low, as if he was about to explode in the next second.

"Ah, what are you talking about? This is Xiao Guang, Xiao Guang!" Suzuki Sonoko seemed to have noticed nothing. She walked over with a smile, took out a box of exquisitely wrapped heart-shaped gift boxes from her bag and stuffed it into his hand. She scratched her face with her fingers a little embarrassedly, "Um, I'm sorry, I was reviewing yesterday because the final exams are approaching and I didn't have time to make handmade chocolates. Um, would you like to go to the handmade chocolate shop with me today? Make another chocolate together?"

Kyogoku's face instantly turned from black to red, and he said with steam coming out of his mouth: "Let's... make chocolate together... Of course!"

Feeling that he was safe, Karasuma Akimitsu took out another chocolate from the box: "So if you guys are going to make chocolate together, why did you ask me to come out? Am I part of your play?"

"Ms. Xiaoguang...are you wearing men's clothes?" Kyogoku Makoto turned his head, took out his glasses and put them on, looked carefully, with a face full of question marks.

"Please don't call me Miss. Do you think it's appropriate for me to call you Miss?" Karasuma Akimitsu said expressionlessly while chewing chocolate.

"Just call him Xiaoguang." Suzuki Sonoko patted Kyogoku Makoto's arm, then raised her hand to hold it.

Hot air burst out from Kyogoku Makoto's head: "Okay."

"Anyway, Xiaoguang calls you Ah Zhen, we are so familiar with each other." Suzuki Sonoko said with a smile.

"You guys go make chocolates and I'm going back." Karasuma Akimitsu swallowed the chocolate, turned around and wanted to leave.

Suzuki Sonoko pulled his kimono sleeve and said, "Let's do it together. Have you prepared a birthday present for Guan Ze? And you have to give me some giri chocolate as a return gift on White Valentine's Day. After all these years, you should make some for me once!"

Karasuma Akimitsu looked helpless: "But I really don't want to see you guys showing off your affection."

"Then you can call Mr. Amuro or Mr. Kurosawa out. By the way, don't you have to bring someone as a bodyguard every time you go out? Why don't you have one today?" Suzuki Sonoko looked around.

"Yes, there is." Karasuma Akimitsu pointed helplessly at a music store across the street, "It's Uozuka, but when he came over, he saw the poster of Ms. Yoko's new song posted by the store over there, and he didn't collect that one. He was almost crying at the door, so I asked him to go in and communicate with the store owner to see if he can buy it."

"Uozuka? I haven't seen him before? Is he handsome?" Suzuki Sonoko was very excited. Then she saw a big guy in a black suit walking out happily with a roll of posters and a handbag. When he saw Karasuma Akimitsu looking at her, he raised his hand and waved, smiling with all eight teeth showing, looking honest.

"..." Suzuki Sonoko turned her face away in pain, "I thought all your bodyguards were handsome guys."

"Well... he actually has a very cute personality." Karasuma Akimitsu shrugged, "So I won't be a light bulb when you and Makoto make chocolates today. Don't worry, I will make a handmade return gift for White Valentine's Day. If you break the promise, you can come to my house and force me to make it for you."

"Okay." Suzuki Sonoko said, turning to look at Kyogoku Makoto, "Then let's make chocolate."

After saying goodbye to the two, Karasuma Akimitsu met up with Vodka who was running over from the other side of the street: "Did you buy it?"

"Yes." Vodka was very happy. "This is actually a limited edition poster that only the store will give out. I talked to their store manager for a long time and he agreed to give it to me after I bought ten CDs."

"Ten?" Karasuma Mingguang glanced at the bag in Vodka's hand speechlessly, "You took so many, are you planning to go on a mission?"

"I'll collect one and listen to the other, and I'll preach the rest." Vodka said happily, "By the way, I recently made a friend who also likes Ms. Yoko, his name is Tobita Otoroku. We've made an appointment to go to the next live together. I was too busy before and always missed a lot of fan events, but it's really good now."

"Ms. Yoko's live performance? The one in a few days?" Karasuma Akimitsu recalled.

"Yes, Tobita and I made an appointment to go together, and we bought tickets for the same venue."

“It’s fun.”

.

"Wow, I see a lot of celebrities. That's great." At Sekizawa Reimi's birthday party, Suzuki Sonoko whispered to Karasuma Akimitsu.

"Yes, but if you hold a banquet, more people will come." Karasuma Akimitsu opened his fan to cover his mouth and whispered to Suzuki Sonoko.

"I don't like that. I have to greet everyone one by one. Why don't I go have a cake and eat it with you guys?"

Masumi Sera stood beside the two of them and looked around: "Conan didn't come this time?"

Suzuki Sonoko was a little puzzled: "Why did he come?"

"At times like this... isn't he always here?" Sera Masumi was very surprised.

"In the past, it was Xiaolan who brought him here. Now that Xiaolan is not coming, of course he can't come either." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand, "and he will always bring trouble when he comes." Her voice was lower in the second sentence, and only Karasuma Akimitsu, who was standing close, could hear it clearly.

Sera Masumi felt a little regretful: "I always feel like something is missing without that little brat."

"I don't think so." Suzuki Sonoko shook her head decisively and turned to look at Karasuma Akimitsu, "By the way, why are you still wearing a kimono? Didn't you say you bought a lot of new clothes last time? We also went shopping and bought a lot of new outfits. But I haven't seen you wear it yet..."

"How should I put it?" Karasuma Akimitsu tapped his forehead with the bone of a fan awkwardly, "I don't know why, but apart from kimono, wearing suits and shirts and the like gives me the feeling of a woman dressed as a man. My family has already laughed at me..."

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

Sera Masumi gestured at Karasuma Akimitsu's hair and said, "Would you like to try cutting your hair shorter? Like, a buzz cut or something? Your hair is about the same length as mine now."

"But you are often mistaken for a boy, so it has nothing to do with your hair! Xiaoguang, don't listen to her, you can't cut it!" Suzuki Sonoko firmly grasped Karasuma Akimitsu's shoulders and shook them, "Your blonde hair will be ruined if you cut it short."

"Yes, don't murder your beauty." A man with pink-gray hair and glasses appeared. "Sir, you are really pleasing to the eye. You are very eye-catching at this party full of models. Are you interested in being a model?"

Karasuma Akimitsu tilted his head: "Model? For the photo shoot?"

"May I ask what is your relationship with Li Mei?"

Suzuki Sonoko answered first: "We are classmates of Miss Reimi's sister, Sekizawa Yumi."

"I see..." The man with glasses looked Karasuma Akimitsu up and down carefully, then smiled and came closer to introduce himself, "Your androgynous appearance is very popular in the entertainment industry now. My name is Hanasaki Ruijun, and I'm Reimi's makeup artist. Of course, I'm not just her makeup artist, I have a lot of connections in the entertainment industry."

She boldly reached out her hand, took Karasuma Akimitsu's hand, shook it, and then suggestively drew circles on Karasuma Akimitsu's palm with her fingers: "What's your name? Believe me, with my makeup skills, I can turn you into a beautiful elf in the modeling world."

Karasuma Akimitsu pulled his hand back with some disgust: "Really? I think I'm pretty enough without your makeup. I don't need your help."

"No, no, no, looks alone are not enough, you know? Even Reimi often needs me to introduce her to other people. In the entertainment industry, looks alone are not enough. Don't be shy. I'm different from your ordinary classmates. If you are willing to chat with me for a while..." Hanasaki Ruijun stretched out his hand to Karasuma Mingguang's waist, "I can give you benefits that you can't even imagine..."

"Pa!" Karasuma Akimitsu raised his hand and slapped him in the face, knocking him to the ground, with his glasses falling to the ground.

The attention of the people around was immediately drawn over and they looked at this side in shock.

Hanasaki Ruijun covered his face and jumped up angrily: "Call the police! I want to call the police! Intentional personal injury."

"Go ahead and report it. Say that the person who hit you is called Karasuma Akimitsu, and that the reason he hit you was sexual harassment." Karasuma Akimitsu calmly took a step forward and crushed the pair of glasses that fell on the ground with his wooden clogs.

The crowd around, which had just become noisy, suddenly became quiet again.

"Kuramaru...is that Karasuma?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Oh my god, that girl next to him is from the Suzuki family, right? I think I've seen her on TV, the one who took the photo of the sunflowers..."

"So this Karasuma is really..." More voices rose in the crowd.

Hanazaki Ruijun looked at Karasuma Akimitsu in shock. As a well-informed makeup artist and middleman in the entertainment industry, he certainly knew the special meaning of the surname Karasuma. He stood up carefully, not even daring to pick up the broken glasses on the ground, and hurriedly got into the crowd around him and ran out of the banquet restaurant.

Suzuki Sonoko covered her mouth and said, "Xiao Guang, you really can't wear anything else. Even such a loose kimono will get you harassed."

"I just happened to meet a pervert. It has nothing to do with what I wear." Karasuma Akimitsu took out a handkerchief and wiped his hand that had just been touched by the man.
