The atmosphere was busy yet harmonious; even housekeeping felt light and joyful as long as everyone did it together.
"This kind of vibe is what people always strive for..."
Haruka Yuzan spoke softly, his body gradually edging closer, unnoticed, to the soft and tender figure.
His large hand slid around her slim waist and with a slight force, Chiba-san stumbled into Haruka's arms, her head bowed as she stared at those moist lips and chuckled,
"Chiba, you agree, don't you?"
"Huh?" Coming back to her senses, Chiba Shimizu didn't struggle. Instead, she lifted her head, a daze of distraction crossing her delicate, pale face.
Chiba-san's dumbfounded look was so adorable it was almost criminal!
With no resistance, Haruka Yuzan leaned down and pressed his lips to those moist ones.
Chiba Shimizu's eyes widened, her clear gaze flashing with a surprise astonishment.
Sister Reiko and the others were nearby; Haruka Yuzan dared to kiss her here! If they were discovered, how would she ever explain it to Misaki!
Indeed, Arisugawa Hoshina didn't know how to explain it to Sister Reiko, and Chiba Shimizu didn't know how to explain it to Misaki.
After all, in the young lady's mind, how could someone as pure, kind, and gentle as Sister Reiko ever get mixed up with someone like Haruka Yuzan, who was considered a "scumbag"?
In her subconscious, she had always resisted the emotion that sought to uncover the truth.
After trying to breach her lips twice more and failing, Haruka Yuzan stopped with a light taste, savoring the sweet scent that lingered at the corners of his mouth, making those thin lips even more luscious.
"You jerk! You are absolutely unreasonable! Disgusting!"
Her big, soulful eyes held a hint of shy anger, and she looked as though she could barely contain herself from taking a bite out of him!
"You can't blame me; it's just that you, Chiba-san, have too much charm..." Haruka Yuzan grinned, once again relishing her smooth skin before reluctantly letting go of the young girl's willowy waist.
Chiba Shimizu rolled her eyes at him, putting on a look of divine complaint, before continuing,
"Besides the tables, the coffee machine and grinder will also be delivered later."
"Hmm, no problem. I don't have anything else to do today."
Hearing the young lady's instructions, Haruka Yuzan smiled warmly and then carried the sofa inside the coffee shop.
Though somewhat embarrassed and indignant, Chiba Shimizu still folded the handover slip and put it in her pocket, watching the tall figure heading into the coffee shop.
Picking up a stool, she quickly followed, "Let's do it together; it'll be faster..."
The Chiba Family's young lady working in a coffee shop after running away from home?
That news would undoubtedly make interesting headlines...
Haruka Yuzan felt a warmth in his heart, and his actions sped up, following the young lady's orders to place the sofa in position before joining her outside, ready to continue moving things.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the coffee shop, Haruka Yuzan pulled the young girl into his arms, walked to a corner out of sight, and without a word, ignoring the shock and modest indignation in her eyes, he kissed those thin lips.
Sweet, soft, an intoxicating flavor.
This time, Chiba Shimizu didn't struggle, passively allowing Haruka Yuzan to savor a deeper bliss.
The young girl tiptoed, her pale arms encircling his neck, pushing her whole body forward, while Haruka Yuzan, somewhat cheating, opened his eyes.
That perfect face so close to his, still looked saintly and pure even in the midst of a kiss.
Her full sleeves bulged out, pressing tightly against his chest, ticklish.
It inspired just one thought!
The hot sun beamed down on the streets, and despite the sweltering weather, nothing could keep the masses of Tokyo at bay.
people came and went on the neighborhood streets. Yet, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look. While they could only see the tall figure of the boy from the back, the envy in their eyes leaked out uncontrollably.
Looking at their young ages, perhaps... this is what youth is all about.....
Everyone harbors in their heart a most sincere, pure, and tenderly awkward love.
The two of them went back and forth, and what should have taken only three or four trips to move the items, took six rounds instead, as each time they were outside the cafe, Haruka Yuzan would pull the young miss against the wall to steal a kiss.
At first, Chiba Shimizu might have been a bit shy, but as time passed, the young miss gradually started tiptoeing to reciprocate.
And Haruka Yuzan effortlessly reached the summit.
"Shimizu, why do your lips feel weird?" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel·fiɾe·net
Misaki Saki stood still, tilting her little head in a dazed and silly manner, asking a question.
Once the petit figure left the villa, it seemed her little brain remained in the room, not even her usually sharp scrap-scrapping senses noticed it in time.
"Is, is there something? There's nothing..."
Chiba Shimizu touched the corner of her mouth gently with her finger, indeed it was a bit swollen... and there was still a hint of a burning sensation.
But being stared at by Misaki's innocently cute big eyes, she could only feel a faint sense of embarrassment in her heart.....
"Alright, let me check. How did you do with the cleaning?"
Haruka Yuzan kicked the fat cat Roast Meat, who had already collapsed from exhaustion, and walked past the big blob of hinderance to look inside the cafe.
Clean, bright, it looked like the girls had indeed been taking their cleaning seriously.
"Of course! You should see who was at work!!" Misaki Saki didn't bother with Chiba Shimizu and ran over in a flash, seeking praise.
"Chiba, you must be tired."
The madam came over with a gentle look full of concern.
Sweat had dampened the hair on her forehead, and the inner lining of her chest stuck tightly to her skin, looking very alluring.
The cafe had not yet installed air conditioning, and working inside was indeed tiring.
Looking at the lovely girl in front of him, her delicate and beautiful face blushing, her white short-sleeved shirt somewhat wrinkled, it seemed she was not faring much better than himself.
After all, they were indoors, while Chiba Shimizu was moving things outside.
To have such a young miss help with housework, honestly, he was left only with a feeling of gratitude.
"No, not at all, thank you for your concern, Sister Reiko."
Chiba Shimizu shook her head, indicating she was fine.
"Here, have some ice cream, it's too hot today....."
Just then, Arisugawa Hoshina came out from the cafe, carrying a small package full of various types of ice creams.
Hearing there was ice cream, Misaki Saki was the first to dash over to the tomboy, stretching out her little paw, blinking her bright, clear big eyes, saliva nearly uncontrollable at the edge of her mouth.
"No one is competing with you, what's the rush."
"You don't get it! I want to eat the pudding milk!!"
"Okay, I got you that."
While eating the ice cream, it felt like they had all come back to life, and after a brief rest inside the cafe, they resumed their cleaning and setting up work one by one.
Although tiring, the mood was indeed relaxed and joyful, and the afternoon passed leisurely...
The July sun blazed like an oven, making the whole of Tokyo hot and dry.
It was only nearing evening that it cooled down a bit, and the girls standing on the street corners were just beginning their day's business.
