Chapter 561 Newlywed Cultivation
Because of Takanashi Seifu's unread message, Kitahara Kento ate his breakfast with great anxiety.
He desperately wanted to know the contents of the message from Takanashi Seifu, but how could he dare to turn on his phone in front of his ex and current girlfriend?
Kitahara Kento ate his meal calmly and unhurriedly, without glancing at his phone once.
"I'm stuffed."
He put down his chopsticks and glanced at the flower valley out of the corner of his eye.
"Come with me to buy groceries."
Hua Gu shook her little head like a maracas.
"Be careful not to shake the brains too much." Kitahara Kento got up irritably.
“I’ll stay with you.” Amamiya Masaki immediately stood up as well.
"Mom, you should stay home." Hanaya took Amamiya Masahiro's hand and said with a grin, "For the time being, Mom and Dad should avoid each other and try not to go out together."
Amamiya Masaki finally realized what was happening and let out a soft "Oh".
"Is there no food left in the refrigerator? We can have Akane bring some over." As if she was worried about Kitahara Kento going out alone, and afraid that he would be kidnapped, Amamiya Masahiro grabbed Kitahara Kento's sleeve.
"And you also have a cold."
“Takeshita-san also has his own work and daily affairs. It’s too much of a burden to keep bothering him,” Kitahara Kento said, holding Amamiya Masahiro’s hand that was tugging at his sleeve. “I’m just going out to buy groceries. I won’t go far. I’ll be home soon. You stay home and take good care of the children. Don’t let Hanaya run around like a madman.”
Hanaya pouted, describing her as if she were a mischievous puppy.
Kitahara Kento picked up his phone from the table and strode towards the entrance of the corridor.
He put on a mask and hat, opened the door, and closed the door.
He quickened his pace and walked out of the courtyard, turning on his phone screen to open the unread message that Gao Lixufeng had just sent.
Silently reading the message the other party sent, I felt a mix of emotions.
"Something really happened last night (laughs). I really admire Kitahara-kun for being able to confess to the person he likes in front of so many people. Kitahara-kun must have mustered up a lot of courage. Best wishes to you both (laughs), I'm so happy for you. By the way, Dad said he's taking us to Hawaii for the winter in a few days. Kitahara-kun, do you have any favorite local specialties? Don't be shy, just tell me, because we're good friends (laughs)."
Her words and phrases were typical of what she would say on a normal day. Even sending this congratulatory text message was something she would normally do and react to.
However, the last sentence in the message...
"Because we're good friends," Kitahara Kento muttered to himself, emphasizing the last sentence as if it were a deliberate choice, and sighed.
If it were her usual self, she definitely wouldn't have mentioned it beforehand as if she wanted to take credit. Instead, she would have secretly brought back a souvenir after the trip to express her friendship.
Kitahara Kento slowed his pace. At this moment, he himself didn't know what to think; his heart was filled with complex emotions.
There was once a person who found it difficult to speak of anyone, and was even unwilling to talk about her existence. That person's name was Amamiya Masahiro.
And now, in just one night, the person who had caused him so much distress and melancholy in every sense of the word has become Takanashi Seikaze.
"Is this Kitahara-san? What a coincidence, Miss said not long ago that you had a cold and asked me to bring you medicine."
The sudden familiar voice startled Kitahara Kento so much that he almost dropped his phone.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I startle you by speaking so suddenly?"
Kitahara Kento quickly caught his falling phone and looked up to see Takeshita Akane standing in front of him with an embarrassed expression, holding a bag full of medicine boxes in both hands.
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Kitahara Kento felt a little guilty and subconsciously hid his phone in his pocket. "I was just too distracted."
“I’ve seen Kitahara-san’s hat before and guessed it might be you. I didn’t expect it to be you. Kitahara-san, are you out on business? Is Miss there?” Takeshita Akane pointed to the house behind him.
“Yes. Going out to buy some groceries. You know, it’s best for her and me to go out as little as possible these days,” Kitahara Kento glanced back. “She’s here.”
"I know, I know. I've watched the video of Kitahara-san confessing his love to Miss at least five times." Takeshita Akane said with a light smile, "Ever since the day you returned to the country, although you didn't admit it, you've been looking forward to yesterday."
"Oh, right, Kitahara-san, I'll go buy some groceries for you. You should stay home and rest properly since you have a cold."
"No need, no need," Kitahara Kento quickly waved his hand. "I'm already out, it's just on my way. You can just deliver the medicine to my house for me. Thank you." He hadn't replied to that read message yet! Once he got home, it wouldn't be so easy to reply to messages.
There are some unspoken things that Takanashi Seifu proactively sends a blessing text message—whether her blessing is sincere or not—if you pretend not to see it and don't reply, things will only get more complicated!
Seeing Kitahara Kento's resolute attitude, they all began to leave. Takeshita Akane could say no more, watched them go for a few seconds, and then carried her medicine bag toward the Kitahara family's small courtyard.
Kitahara Kento walked quickly while clutching his phone in his pocket. When he reached the corner, he took out his phone again.
He looked down at the read messages on his phone screen, then looked back at his front door, where he saw Akane Takeshita carrying a bag full of medicine boxes.
Kitahara Kento remained silent.
I have a terrible feeling of self-reproach, and my conscience is uneasy.
Kitahara Kento tried his best to dispel the complex emotions in his mind and heart, and slowly took a step, thinking about how to reply appropriately.
I thought about it over and over in my mind, but in the end I just gave a simple reply.
"Thank you, but a gift is more surprising when it's a little mysterious."
After sending the message, not knowing whether or when Takanashi Seifu would reply, he simply put his phone on silent mode as a precaution.
Disguised, I entered the community supermarket and quickly purchased various food items with lightning speed.
On his way home, he deliberately slowed down.
She kept glancing around, then pulled out her phone to check if Takanashi Seifu had replied to her messages, her gaze darting about frequently. The closer she got to home, the more she resembled a guilty thief.
Until they returned to the gate of the Kitahara family's courtyard.
Kitahara Kento deleted the record of Takanashi Seifu's letter, put away his phone, and thought to himself as if speaking to her from afar, "From now on, whatever you do, don't reply."
He took out his keys and opened the door.
To Kitahara Kento's surprise, Hanaya and Amamiya, the two girls, one big and one small, were standing at the entrance to the corridor, waiting for him to come home. Hanaya was also holding a cup of brown hot water.
Hanaya nudged Amamiya Masaki's waist with his elbow, giving her a series of meaningful glances.
Amamiya Masaki stepped forward and extended her hands.
Kitahara Kento was a little confused. What did this mean? Was it a hug?
"Give it to me."
Kitahara Kento understood immediately, lowered his head, and handed the bags of ingredients in his hand to Amamiya.
Without a doubt, these were taught by the habitual offender, Little Mischief, or perhaps even instigated.
Amamiya took the cup, put it back on the ground, then picked up the brown hot water that Hanaya was holding and handed over the prepared cold medicine.
"You've worked hard, welcome home."
"The water temperature is just right, it's ready to drink."
Kitahara Kento glanced at Hanaya, who was smiling but not saying a word, and then drank the cold medicine in one gulp.
Hanaya started giving Kitahara Kento meaningful glances again.
"Coat, coat."
"clothing!"
Kitahara Kento remained silent and took off his coat. Amamiya Masahiro took it from him, while simultaneously picking up the groceries bag.
Looking back, the day after he picked up Hanaya, Hanaya did the same thing when he came home from school. Now she's teaching it to Amamiya, the little otaku girl.
"Ama-neechan's wedding training today was perfect!" Hanaya gave Amamiya a thumbs-up with a grin.
Newlywed ascetic Kitahara Kento was speechless. It seemed that in the twenty minutes he had been gone, this restless little rascal had been causing trouble again.
