That kid knew what he did two nights ago, otherwise this would have been very bad.

Qingdeng pondered, thinking about how to fool the General Secretary's question.

Just at this time……

What happened next was completely beyond Qingdeng’s expectation——

"Ah, Qingdeng, I finally found you!"

A pleasant female voice that was no longer familiar sounded from behind Yu Qingdeng.

Qingdeng was startled at first.

Then a look of shock filled his entire face in the blink of an eye.

Slowly turning his neck, which suddenly became extremely stiff, he looked behind him - a beautiful red figure was struggling to move through the narrow gaps in the crowd.

The visitor was Kinoshita Mai, who had been looking for them everywhere since she met Qingto and others.

The venue for the fireworks display is not small, and there are groups of tourists surrounded by mountains and seas. Although finding people here cannot be said to be like finding a needle in a haystack, it can also be said to be extremely difficult.

But Kinoshita Mai was not depressed or discouraged. After running around and persevering, she finally saw the tall figure she was looking for so hard.

This time, Kinoshita Mai did not miss Elodie due to her visual angle - after all, Elodie was sitting astride Qingden's neck at this time, and anyone who was not blind could spot Elodie.

Even though Elodie was wearing a mask and her hair was wrapped, her slender back that was so familiar to Mai Kinoshita could not be hidden.

Kinoshita Mai thought to herself, "Is it possible?" while secretly speeding up her pace.

Finally - after passing through one human wall after another, she finally arrived in front of Qingdeng and others.

"Miss Dancing?" Elodie was the first to exclaim in surprise.

"Ah, it is indeed Ai..."

Kinoshita Mai subconsciously wanted to call out Elodie's full name.

But she quickly realized that it was inappropriate to shout Elodie's real name in such a public place, so she quickly stopped and asked in an excited tone:

"Why are you here with Qingdeng?"

Compared to the secret joy on Kinoshita Mai's face... the look on Qingto's face seemed particularly "charming".

Why is Ah Wu here? Did we meet by chance? How could it be such a coincidence...

He was shocked, but Qingdeng's mind was still calm.

It should just be an ordinary encounter... Fortunately, Ms. Sanako is not here now...

Qingdeng just had this thought in his mind——

"...Tachibana-kun."

Another extremely familiar female voice...

Coming from the other direction.

At this moment, Qingdeng felt as if a heavy stone was hanging from his heart, and his body seemed to be pulled downwards by this huge stone.

He looked up in disbelief - the figure of a certain Yamato Nadeshiko walking towards him calmly came into his eyes.

What a coincidence.

Sanako ran into Aoto almost at the same time as Kinoshita Mai, and then looked for Aoto everywhere like Kinoshita Mai, and finally found Aoto here almost in no particular order.

Sanako's beautiful eyes were seen, glancing back and forth at Souji and Kinoshita Mai next to Ayoto, her eyes flickering slightly with confusion.

"Zao, Miss Sanako..." Qingden laughed, "Why are you here...?"

"I... wanted to come here to buy something, and then I ran into you just now. I wanted to say hello to you briefly, so I followed you."

After explaining in a concise and concise manner why he was suddenly here, Sanako changed the subject with a calm expression.

"Tachibana-kun, who is the girl on your shoulder?"

"..." Qingden glanced at Sanako on his left, and then at Mai Kinoshita on his right.

At this moment, Qingdeng could only feel that something was boiling in his heart...

As if he was facing some indescribable powerful enemy, goosebumps appeared one after another on Qingdeng's skin.

If you keep behaving strangely, you will arouse suspicion... Qingdeng took a deep breath and relied on his strong willpower to barely maintain his composure.

"Uh...it's like this-"

Aoto briefly summarized the reason why he met Souji and Elodie here, and at the same time explained to Sanako who the girl on his shoulder was.

"So that's it..." Sanako nodded lightly.

Although Qingto's disciple Sanako knew who she was, he had never seen her before, so he subconsciously forgot about her existence.

The small "dark cloud" that gathered between Sanako's eyebrows slowly dissipated.

The clouds on his face dissipated, and there was still Kinoshita Mai.

"Oh! It turns out you are all the guys from the Trial Guard Hall, and you're going to hang out together tonight!"

Kinoshita Mai showed a relieved expression.

After experiencing a brief period of shock and panic, Qingdeng gradually regained his composure.

--so far so good……

Qingdeng thought to himself.

——Although I met A Wu and Miss Sanako at the same time...but as long as I am careful, what I did two nights ago should not be exposed...

Just when Qingdeng was comforting himself——

Woo-pop!

The first fireworks of the night went up.

The beautiful scenery of fiery trees and silver flowers unfolds slowly under the moonlight like a scroll.

"Wow!" Elodie shouted excitedly as the long-awaited fireworks show finally arrived.

At this moment, attracted by the fireworks, neither Ayoto, Kinoshita Mai, nor Sanako could care about anything else. A man and four women looked up at the night sky that was colorfully rendered by the fireworks.

Although he had watched the fireworks for two nights in a row, the beauty of the moment when the fireworks exploded still touched Qingden's heart a little bit again.

Everyone remained silent and quietly raised their heads to watch with faint smiles on their faces.

"Qingdeng! I feel like tonight's fireworks are a bit more brilliant than the ones the two of us watched the day before yesterday!"

Then this calmness was suddenly broken by the unintentional words of Mai Kinoshita, who had a happy smile on her face.
