EBE Chapter 288 Zoo
Chapter 288 Zoo
Behind a clump of lush green bushes, two young ladies from the Moon Forest crouched on the ground, disregarding their image.
All that etiquette lessons in Moon Forest was for nothing.
The lush greenery along the roadside in Asukayama Park provided perfect cover for the two.
Like private detectives stealing important information, Nagasaki Motoyo and Metis cautiously peeked out and stared intently at Bai Qiu's location.
Finally, after seeing clearly who was meeting Bai Qiu, Motis lowered her voice and said, "It's Xiangzi."
"Ah."
Nagasaki Motoyo nodded in agreement in a voice barely audible.
If it was Xiangzi, neither she nor Motis were too surprised.
After all, Bai Qiu and Xiangzi had lived together in a close relationship, a fact they were both well aware of.
Right now, Nagasaki Sosei and Motis are more concerned about what Bai Qiu and Xiangzi's purpose is in meeting today.
The two also noticed that Xiangzi had changed into a new outfit today and seemed to have dressed up specially.
They exchanged a knowing glance, and the word "date" simultaneously popped into their minds.
It was at this moment that Bai Qiu and Feng Chuan Xiangzi held hands.
This scene was clearly seen by the two of them, and Metathia suddenly gripped the branches and leaves beside her, making a rustling sound.
She exclaimed in surprise:
"Why are you holding hands!?"
She rarely held hands with Bai Qiu when they were out.
Why did Xiangzi immediately take his hand?
So, her progress in winning over Bai Qiu was actually slower than Xiang Zi's?? Motis belatedly realized.
"That wretched Xiao Xiang..."
She couldn't help but mutter something under her breath.
The green leaves of the bushes seemed to be taken out on Xiangzi by Motis, who plucked a handful from them with her hand.
A few leaves drifted slowly down in front of Nagasaki Motoyo.
"..."
Su Shi's lips twitched slightly.
Although she was a little jealous, she remained relatively calm.
The main difference between her and Motis is that she is already Bai Qiu's girlfriend, which is why she can remain calm and unhurried.
Nagasaki Motoyo has more important things to think about now.
For Mottis, all she needs to do is be mischievous; she has much more to consider.
Subconsciously rubbing her fingers together, Su Shi thought to herself.
If they got together so easily, how far have things progressed between Bai Qiu and Xiangzi?
Although Su Shi tacitly approved of Bai Qiu's idea of opening the Crystal Palace, she also didn't want Bai Qiu to be divided up by too many people.
Because if there are too many people, the time allocated to each person will be less.
Time is fair and limited for everyone.
Xiangzi... could he be joining too?
However, based on her understanding of Toyokawa Shoko's personality, Su Shi felt that Shoko was unlikely to agree.
"Su Shi, your head is green."
Motis suddenly smiled and said to Nagasaki Motoyo.
Su Shi is Bai Qiu's girlfriend now, so it's Su Shi who's been cheated on, not her.
Motis cleverly thought of this.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Nagasaki Motoyo's face darkened, and she instantly lost the will to think deeply.
She really needs to control this Metis.
Su Shi looked at Mo Tisi with a forced smile.
"Your hair is the green one."
"They're gone, hurry up and catch up."
Whether or not Motis heard, after noticing Bai Qiu and Toyokawa Shoko's actions, she hurriedly urged Su Shi.
……
The finger joints continuously transmit a delicate and soft tactile sensation.
Despite being a keyboardist, Toyokawa Shoko's hands didn't develop calluses from practicing guitar.
At first, Xiangzi seemed a little shy, but he quickly adapted and became bolder, even daring to start doing some small actions like interlacing his fingers.
Because Xiangzi suggested holding hands.
At this moment, Bai Qiu was almost certain that Xiangzi liked him; this was not a misperception.
He readily accepted Xiangzi's request to hold his hand.
Now that they've already held hands, Bai Qiu felt she absolutely had to tell Xiangzi about Ai Yin and Su Shi's situation today.
But now, where is Xiangzi going to take him to play?
Aquarium? Planetarium? Or amusement park?
Soon, Bai Qiu learned the answer.
It's a zoo.
The two got off the tram at the zoo station and walked a short distance to the zoo entrance.
Toyokawa Shoko took out the tickets she had bought in advance from her bag.
"The zoo is very nice."
Bai Qiu spoke softly.
A cool morning is indeed a good time to visit the zoo.
Seeing that Bai Qiu was interested, Toyokawa Shoko nodded slightly with excitement and introduced him:
"This zoo recently brought in pandas from your hometown, Bai Qiu."
Bai Qiu blinked, somewhat surprised.
Panda? Forgive him for thinking of Li Xi.
"In that case, we must take a good look at it today," Bai Qiu said with a smile.
"Mm." Xiangzi smiled brightly, then said softly, "The zoo is just the first stop. We'll be going to other places this afternoon."
As she spoke, Toyokawa Shoko gently tightened her grip on Bai Qiu's hand, her voice becoming softer and sweeter.
"Bai Qiu, you said today is all mine."
Having successfully paired up, Toyokawa Shoko's confidence in her confession grew, and she gradually began to express the emotions she had been suppressing towards Bai Qiu.
Bai Qiu nodded and smiled, "Yes, as I said, I will accompany Xiangzi wherever he wants to go and whatever he wants to do today."
Xiangzi, feeling a little shy, lowered his head slightly.
Then, the two followed the map provided by the zoo and walked forward.
Like other couples visiting the zoo, they leisurely strolled around the different animal enclosures.
However, while Bai Qiu and Feng Chuan Xiangzi were having a great time, the two people following behind them didn't seem to be enjoying themselves as much.
Metis and Nagasaki Motoyo seemed to have turned into bitter faces, faintly exuding a black resentment.
Neither of them was in great physical condition, and their legs started to ache after only a few steps.
But you still have to be careful not to lose them or get discovered, and you also have to watch Bai Qiu and Xiangzi laughing and taking pictures.
It can be said that he suffered a great deal of psychological trauma.
In Mottis's eyes, Xiangzi was practically glued to Bai Qiu.
I've lost, I'm numb from losing.
After losing to Su Shi and Xiang Zi, won't he have to lose to Chu Hua next?
If it weren't for Nagasaki Motoyo stopping her, Metis would have rushed up and ruined Bai Qiu and Xiangzi's date long ago.
"Woo——"
Suddenly, a deep, resonant shout rang out from all around.
Bai Qiu felt his body being pulled, and he heard Xiangzi's excited voice in his ear.
"Bai Qiu, look! What a huge elephant!"
Toyokawa Shoko's eyes lit up, and she pulled Bai Qiu a few steps forward, her finger pointing excitedly at the several enormous gray creatures behind the railing.
Bai Qiu glanced over slowly.
In a sandy area, three gray elephants, two large and one small, are drinking water by the riverbank.
Elephants have rough, thick, gray skin that looks like a hard suit of armor, and four strong legs support their massive bodies.
Its long, soft nose droops over the water, gently swirling up the water before calmly bringing it into its mouth.
The visuals are vivid and interesting.
Noticing that Xiangzi seemed to really like elephants, Bai Qiu raised her phone: "Xiangzi, stand still, I'm going to take a picture of you."
Toyokawa Shoko nodded repeatedly, her two blue ponytails swaying. She quickly walked to the railing, found a suitable spot, and made a peace sign at Bai Qiu.
An elephant? A great omen.
Bai Qiu, suddenly realizing this, smiled with a hint of pleasure.
Unfortunately, Xiangzi didn't understand Chinese and couldn't comprehend it.
"Crack...!"
Bai Qiu took a series of photos, intending to slowly select the best ones later.
Seeing this, Xiangzi said, "Bai Qiu, come here quickly, you want to take pictures with me too."
"coming."
Bai Qiu nodded and stepped forward.
However, as soon as he got close to Xiangzi, Toyokawa Xiangzi seemed to be impatient and took action first.
He seemed to be gently pulling Bai Qiu's hand, but in reality, he held Bai Qiu's hand tightly in his arms and pressed it against his chest, as if afraid that Bai Qiu would run away.
Toyokawa Shoko's face was flushed, and her heart was pounding much faster than usual.
Bai Qiu turned to look at Xiangzi, her voice tinged with doubt, "Xiangzi?"
"Shoot it like this," Toyokawa Shoko whispered.
She observed that the couples around her were doing the same thing.
She wants it too.
Feeling the soft pressure coming from her arm, Bai Qiu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly before she concentrated and raised her phone to take a picture.
Today, he is getting closer and closer to Xiangzi, in every sense of the word.
This kind of contact is similar to that between real couples.
It seems like all that's left is to break through the screen and unveil the truth.
Bai Qiu couldn't help but wonder if Xiangzi wanted to confess his feelings to him today, or if he wanted to wait for him to confess.
Since he has already confirmed that he likes Xiangzi, wouldn't it be better for him to initiate the confession?
