Although the online gathering between Black Cat and Kirisuke Takasaka was very unsuccessful, with the efforts of Saori Bagina, they finally got two in the subsequent "special second meeting"... no, a friend.

Although they didn't say it, they were actually very grateful to Saori and regarded her as a friend.

As for each other, those who call each other "bitters" and "evil eyes and radio wave women" can only be considered enemies, right?

As a follower, Kyosuke Takasaka and Chu Xuan failed to become a pair of good friends, but they also became a relationship where they could speak in school. Then Kyosuke's good friend Kyohei Akagi naturally added in.

Everything is as calculated.

======IQ determines destiny=====

Wednesday, July 6th, dinner time at the Aragaki family.

"Recently, my brother rarely stays at home."

At the dining table, Ayase sighed slightly.

"Well... it's better for young people not to stay at home all the time.

Men who go home from work all day long are incompetent men, and boys who go home from school all day long are the "otaku" criticized in society now."

Before Chu Xuan could speak, Ayase's mother defended her son first, but then she turned around and asked:

"I haven't been at home recently and haven't heard of any club you have joined. Could it be that I'm having a girlfriend?"

Ayase's mother, who has always shown herself as a dignified, elegant and imposing president outside, is like an ordinary middle-aged woman, with a gossip on her face.

However, even Ayase's father, who had not spoken, actually raised his thick eyebrows slightly and secretly raised his ears.

"Say, what are you talking about? Isn't it possible?"

For some reason, Ayase immediately raised the thick eyebrows inherited from her father and retorted without thinking.

"My elder brother has only been two months in school. How could he have made a girlfriend so quickly?"

Ayase wanted to cover up again and added another explanation. Her mother's eyes were bent into crescent moons, she covered her mouth with her hands, and said with a look of "I understand":

"Ahhhhh~ Ayase is jealous? Such an excellent brother, of course, I don't want other women to take it away so soon.

But who made your elder brother so outstanding?

If there were boys as outstanding as your elder brother around my mother back then, she would have hesitated whether to marry her father.”

"Ah ah ah..."

Ayase's mother held her face and acted like a girl. Ayase's father, who was unfortunately shot in her knees, coughed loudly because of choking.

"Well, Chu Xuan.

Although you are excellent, it is precisely because of this that you should pay special attention to this aspect, and don’t contact all women…

Of course, I am not against you having a girlfriend, but I hope you can carefully examine the other person's personality, reputation and even family background.

You should be able to understand these principles easily, so I won’t say much.”

Perhaps in order to maintain the majesty of the head of the family, Ayase's father raised his face and warned Chu Xuan for a few words, and then continued to pick up his job.

"I see."

Chu Xuan nodded expressionlessly and agreed faintly.

Now the family is very accustomed to his poker face and mechanical tone that has not changed for thousands of years. They also consulted psychologists secretly. The final conclusion was that there was no need to interfere deliberately and treat him as a completely normal person, and he would naturally become normal in the future.

"Sister, are you doing something?"

Chu Xuan's words made Ayase feel a little awkward, she said with a little blushing:

"Brother, just call me Ayase."

"Okay, Ayase."

Chu Xuan immediately changed his name expressionlessly like a robot. Perhaps for him, the name was just a code name.

"That...it's actually nothing big.

But I just thought that tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day, which is a festival from China, so I hope my elder brother can go home directly after school tomorrow... or something.

After all, my elder brother has lived in China for many years. I want to let my elder brother better understand Japanese customs through the festivals that I am familiar with... Am I meddling in other people's business?"

Ayase lowered her head slightly and looked up at Chu Xuan with her eyes, looking very cute.

"Is that right? I'll be back tomorrow."

Chu Xuan nodded expressionlessly and agreed immediately, making people unable to guess what he was actually thinking.

"……Thanks."

After school the next day, Chu Xuan returned home early and found a clump of newly transplanted bamboo in a corner of the yard.

Early July is not the season for transplanting bamboo, and the Aragaki couple must not just do it for the time being. So they should have spent a lot of money to make the bush survive.

"Ah~ the bamboo has been planted."

Ayase stood quietly beside Chu Xuan at some point, looking at the green bamboo in the yard happily.

She seemed to have arrived home earlier than usual, maybe she came back while running?

The Chinese Valentine's Day in Japan is not mainly used to pray for love, but to pray for girls to have good skills.

At this time of year, adults and children will gather together to write wishes and poems on colorful long strips of poems, and hang them on small bamboos in their yard together with decorations made of paper.

In addition, corn, pear and other offerings should be placed in the yard to request Vega to bless their girls with their calligraphy, tailoring and other skills to improve.

At the end of the celebration, these offerings will be placed in the river and drifted away, which symbolizes your wish to reach the Tianhe River.

That night, the Ayase family also held a more formal celebration than in the past, although the offerings would not be placed in the river to pollute the environment.

"Brother, let's hang our written wishes on the bamboo together."

Under the starry sky, Ayase smiled gently at Chu Xuan. The light of the moon and the stars, as well as the lights that shone out from the house, gave her a dreamy silver halo, like a legendary elf.

"OK."

Chu Xuan hung his wish on the bamboo briskly, Ayase quietly approached behind him, and secretly looked at his poem in the moonlight.

"I hope my sister falls in love with me."

And there are words on the other side.

"I hope my sister will marry me."

"Huh? This is... kidding?"

Ayase widened her eyes, even her pupils narrowed significantly, and she pointed her trembling finger at Shijian and asked in disbelief.

"Is there anything wrong? In China, the Chinese Valentine's Day is equivalent to St. Valentine's Day."

Chu Xuan said as if nothing had happened.

"Of course it's not right, it's simply not right! Brother, how can you make such a bad joke!"

Ayase, who blushed, got angry at Chu Xuan for the first time, and she even pulled off this "shameless" poem in a "showingly" and ordered Chu Xuan to rewrite it.

After Chu Xuan hung up the poem with the words "Japanese dominance" written on one side and the words "World Conquest" written on the other side, Ayase's face improved a little.

"That's true, although only children will really believe it, brother, you should also take your wishes seriously.

The joke just now was too bad, which made me physically unacceptable, so I will probably reconsider my attitude towards my elder brother in the future.”

Ayase still pouted her mouth in anger, and there was still a hint of blush on her cheeks, but it made her whole body more vivid.
