Their disgust can help me improve.

He looked at the bathroom door.

Manami is acting a little strange today.

Why would you suddenly ask this question?

"Manami, could you give me some time to think about it?"

Kyosuke Kosaka chose to stall for time.

Outside the bathroom door.

Tamura Manami stared at the bathroom door.

He confessed his feelings proactively, and then added those subtle hints.

In this situation, did Xiaojing choose to stall for time?

She lowered her head and said unwillingly.

"Xiao Jing, I want an answer right now. If you accept me, I'll come and prepare dinner for you every day from now on. You don't need to hide the comic books anymore. You can do whatever you want me to do."

"Manami, what's wrong with you? This isn't something you would say."

Kyosuke Kosaka could hardly believe it.

"Xiao Jing, we've been childhood sweethearts, can't you sense how I feel?"

Tamura Manami understood why she had taken the initiative.

They gave up because of the biggest obstacle.

If she doesn't take the initiative at this point, she can't establish a relationship with Kyosuke Kousaka.

Then there will be no more chances.

"I...we've been childhood sweethearts. I don't know how to answer you when you suddenly bring this up. Can you give me some time to think about it?"

Kyosuke Kosaka's answer was similar to what he had just given.

"Xiao Jing, I'm going back now."

Disappointment was written all over Tamura Manami's eyes.

"See you tomorrow."

Kyosuke Kosaka breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Tamura Manami took her commuter bag and went downstairs.

When I got downstairs.

She turned her head and glanced at Kyosuke Kosaka's residence.

"Were you rejected?"

A voice suddenly sounded.

Tamura Manami turned her head and looked at Su Yu with some disbelief.

"You...how did you get here?"

"Are you touched that I'm taking you home?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it..."

“My girlfriend and I had dinner and then came to find you. I’ve been waiting here for half an hour. You know, no girl has ever made me wait this long before. You’re the first girl to do that.”

Su Yu pushed the bicycle out.

"Manami Tamura's favorability rating: 30"

Her expression was hesitant.

Su Yu sat on the bicycle.

"Don't hesitate, get in the car."

"Thank you."

Tamura Manami said softly and sat on the back of the bicycle.

Su Yu pedaled his bicycle forward.

"Manami Tamura's favorability rating: 50"

Tamura Manami grabbed Su Yu's clothes.

After driving for a while.

Tamura Manami couldn't help but ask a question.

Why did you come here to take me home?

"I can't bear to see girls sad."

Didn't you say I was too ordinary?

“You know how to make desserts. If you take over Tamuraya in the future, I think you can invest and make some money.”

"Tamura-ya doesn't make money."

"Really? Then I'm at a loss. How about we go to a hotel?"

"Do you really want to go to the hotel with me?"

"Judging from your tone, if I said yes, you would really come to the hotel with me?"

Tamura Manami did not answer.

She hugged Su Yu tightly.

Su Yu felt the pressure, and...

"Manami Tamura's favorability rating: 50"

"Manami Tamura's favorability rating: 50"

"Manami Tamura's favorability rating: 50"

He understood what she was thinking.

"So, I'm a replacement for Kousaka Kyosuke?"

"I'll do whatever you want. Just tonight."

"You just said the same thing to Kyosuke Kosaka, didn't you?"

"how do you know?"

"For you to be so disappointed, you must have tried everything, but you were still rejected."

"Xiao Jing said she would consider it for a while."

"Heh, do you believe that?"

"..."

Chapter 113 When Kyosuke Kousaka Called

Tamura Manami, of course, did not believe it.

If Kyosuke Kosaka truly liked her, he wouldn't have said he'd need to think about it for a while after such a confession.

"If I had a childhood sweetheart, even if she was just average-looking, but she was willing to cook for me, take care of me, and help me with my studies, I wouldn't let anyone else take her away, even if I didn't like her."

Su Yu's eyes were fixed ahead.

"That's probably what Xiao Jing is thinking. So, I want him to like me as I am now. If I make changes to make Xiao Jing like me, then what he likes isn't the real me."

Tamura Manami said slowly.

"I think it's perfectly normal to make changes for someone you like."

"We've known each other since kindergarten."

"How will you face him tomorrow?"

"I do not know."

Tamura Manami's voice was very low.

Su Yu stopped.

"Just pretend that today's events never happened. Tomorrow, you'll still be the same Tamura Manami."

“There’s no going back.”

"Can't you change your mind?"

"No."

Tamura Manami answered without hesitation.

Su Yu turned around and glanced at her.

"That's the hotel over there, and that's your home. Which side do you want me to go to?"

"You can take me wherever you want."

Tamura Manami stared directly at Su Yu, her expression indifferent.

Su Yu withdrew his gaze and drove forward.

This is the road leading to Tamura-ya.

Tamura Manami held Su Yu in her arms and closed her eyes.

……

The bicycle was parked not far from Tamura-ya.

Manami Tamura got out of the car.

"Thank you for sending me back."

"You'll do whatever I ask?"

Su Yu sized up Tamura Manami.

She was slightly startled.

"you are not……"

"Since you've said that, I'm not Kyosuke Kousaka, so of course I'll take advantage of the situation before going home."

"You are absolutely terrible."

"Let's go to that alley over there."

"Let's go to the park; there's no one there."

"A park is fine too."

Su Yu pushed his bicycle and arrived at a quiet, deserted park with Tamura Manami.

It was almost dark by then.

Manami Tamura arrived at the slide.

“Xiao Jing and I used to play hide-and-seek here often. He would hide here, and I would pretend not to be able to find him. When the time was almost up, I would let Xiao Jing come out, and he would be very happy.”

"you are great."

"Xiao Jing often says that I look like an old woman."

"You're too good to him, that's why he feels this way. To him, you're someone he can rely on and someone he can confide in."

Su Yu watched Tamura Manami's retreating figure.

Tamura Manami looked at the slide in front of her.

“Xiao Jing used to be very capable, but because of some things, he gave up becoming an even better person. At that time, I was actually very happy that the ordinary Xiao Jing and the ordinary me were together, went to school together, got married in an ordinary way.”

"He became a company employee, and I continued to work at Tamuraya, preparing three meals a day for him and occasionally Tamuraya snacks for him."

"Go visit Xiaojing's house on Saturday and Sunday and help Auntie prepare meals."
