The girl under the cherry blossoms, her smile is like a flower

"Congratulations to Rina for winning the silver medal in the national high school student painting competition!"

"Cheers!" This was Rina's voice that was a bit shy but had to cheer.

"Cheers!!" Hazuki Yuka was sincerely happy for her.

"Cheers!!!" Needless to say, Qing Gongfeng's happiness was written all over his face, and anyone with a pair of eyes could see how excited he was now.

"...Cheers." Under the gaze of the three people, Hanayamain Chiyo finally agreed.

In a yakiniku restaurant in Shinjuku District, teenagers and girls raised their cups at the window seats.

The drinks inside are different, including cola, orange juice, apple juice, and even barley tea. On the baking tray in the middle, the half-cooked pork belly and steak are sizzling with oil.

It was still raining lightly outside, but the air-conditioning in the store was fully turned on. The cold drinks and the slightly hot barbecue were an amazing combination.

"Rina-chan is really amazing. I saw that painting. The deer and the girl in nature are so cute."

Yuka Hazuki was full of praise for the painting, her lips were shiny after just eating barbecue.

"When will the novel written by Hazuki-san be available? Everyone has been waiting for a long time."

Cut the grilled steak into bite-sized strips with scissors, and put the beef tongue into the baking pan. Qing Gongfeng asked with a smile. Today, he is responsible for barbecue full-time, and his level 4 cooking skills give him the ability to control the heat. Excellent control.

"Yes, Yuuka-chan, we have all been looking forward to it for a long time."

Rina, who was sitting opposite Yuka Hazuki, took a bite of the steak sent by Kaede Kiyomiya. The rich meat juice exploded in her mouth, and she narrowed her eyes with great enjoyment.

"Please don't have too many expectations, otherwise you may be disappointed."

Yuka Hazuki said with some embarrassment that her confidence plummeted after submitting her article to the literary society. Without him, the sense of oppression brought by Qing Gong Kaede and Hanayamain Chiyo was too strong.

"Hazuki-kun, don't worry too much. Your writing skills are very good, so you just need to come up with a good story, and you will definitely be a big success."

This is the truth. Today’s light novel market is mixed, and most light novels are called toilet paper that comes with illustrations. As long as the story is good and the writing is smooth, there will generally be no problems.

Not to mention that Hazuki Yuka's writing style is well known to Kiyomiya Kaede, and it is much better than most light novel writing styles on the market.

Several people's eyes stayed on Qing Gongfeng, waiting for him to continue.

"Also, whether it is a good article or a good novel, it is all revised. Everyone reads it together, finds out the problems, and then corrects it. This is a good cycle."

Qing Gongfeng picked up the serving chopsticks and flipped the roasted fragrant beef tongue. He probably knew what Hazuki Yuka was worried about.

"Although the Minister and I have some talents in writing articles, it does not mean that we can also write good novels. After all, the story is the main thing. In this regard, we may not be able to help."

Hearing this, Chiyo Hanazhanin nodded. She had read many books and many movies, but sometimes she still didn't understand the feelings in them, so naturally she couldn't write a wonderful story that made people cry and laugh.

"Yes. After all, Brother Feng's artistic skills are very underdeveloped, such as the ape man and the volcano, hehe."

Rina laughed without any shame.

Yuka Hazuki and Chiyo Hanayamain also thought of those two paintings, their expressions softened, and a relaxed atmosphere floated above their heads.

"Rina, if you want to eat barbecue, bake it yourself."

Qing Gongfeng smiled gently.

Rina's face curled up, and she pulled Qing Gongfeng's arm pitifully.

"Brother Feng~ I was wrong~ It's a big deal..."

"What's the big deal?"

"The big deal..." Rina leaned close to Qing Gongfeng's ear and whispered softly.

Qing Gongfeng's eyes lit up.

"Is this true?"

"...Hmm." Rina responded softly, her face turning pink.

"Then it's settled," Qing Gongfeng's old face turned red. He suddenly found that the two people opposite him had been looking at him, so he waved his hands and said, "The meat is roasted, everyone eat quickly."

After taking a sip of Coke, Qing Gongfeng suppressed his restless emotions. His thoughts had already drifted to weekend nights.

That would be a great improvement.

The four of them ate for about an hour and a half, during which most of the time Kiyomiya Kaede was talking to Rina and Hazuki Yuka. Hanayamain Chiyo rarely opened her mouth, but Kiyomiya Kaede ate a lot of the meat grilled by her.

By the time they walked out of the barbecue restaurant, it was almost nine o'clock. The rain stopped at some point, and the small puddles on the ground reflected colorful lights.

The high-rise buildings near Shinjuku Station are brightly lit. If you look down from a high place, it will definitely be a beautiful sight.

It was already late, but the place was still crowded with people. Hot girls in short skirts, fashionable urban white-collar workers, and beautiful girls whose age could not be determined just by looking at their makeup. You could see one every few dozen seconds, even one. pile.

In addition, many social workers who had just gotten off work were also hanging out in twos and threes, preparing to find an izakaya to have a drink.

This is an unwritten rule in Neon. If you go home too early, your wife may think you are worthless, so many people would rather go to an izakaya to get drunk, or simply sit in the park until midnight before going home.

"It's getting late, I'll take you back."

Hanayamain Chiyo finally acted like a minister, and several people did not refuse. After all, the trains would be gone if it was a little later, and there should be a lot of people on these remaining trips. They had just finished eating, and it felt like they were squeezing around. Not good.

Several people walked towards the main road outside - this barbecue restaurant was opened in a small alley.

Rina was obviously very full, her belly was bulging under her white uniform, and she was walking slowly, but she was in a good mood, and it showed on her face.

Tonight's dinner party was organized for her by the Tea Club. It is said that the painting department will have a party on the weekend. In addition to Rina, many people in the painting department also won awards, so it is natural to celebrate.

"We still have class tomorrow, wuwuwu~"

Rina touched her belly in distress.

"It's only Wednesday, Rina, don't even think about sleeping in."

"But, how happy it would be to sleep in after eating well, you are right, Yuuka-chan."

"Well... I guess so." Hazuki Yuka didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Hazuki-san wakes up very early every day. You are asking the wrong person."

"How did Brother Feng know?"

Rina asked suddenly.

"I occasionally get up in the morning to do morning exercises, and I have met Hazuki-san several times."

Kaede Kiyomiya didn't feel guilty at all. If Rina asked about Chinatsu, he might be a little uncomfortable, but Yuka Hazuki was in the clear with him and answered without any questions.

Eh? Chinatsu and herself seemed to be innocent, but they just had some thoughts in their hearts.

"So that's it, what about Senior Sister Huashanyuan?"

Rina withdrew her gaze, and at the same time withdrew her small hand that had touched Qing Gongfeng's waist at some point.

"I don't sleep in."

Every strand of Hanayamain Chiyo's hair seems to be shining. No wonder she doesn't show up often, but her popularity in the student forum is not inferior to that of Shimizu Mio.

After discovering that she was the only one among the four who could sleep in, Rina couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. She looked at her belly and suddenly realized that it seemed to be a bit big. She probably would have a belly if she kept eating like this.

Woohoo...why can't the meat grow in the right place?

Rina suddenly lost most of her good mood. She found that when she lowered her head, the first thing she saw was her belly, not the two snowy peaks that were closer together.
