Chapter 226 226



"Pardon?" Tenku looked at Wang Ruyue in confusion because he thought he had misheard what she said.

"Let's go on a date now! You have to accompany me to go around Tokyo. No, I mean traveling around Japan during my holiday here!" Wang Ruyue smiled and repeated her words. She was relieved when she saw Tenku's condition had improved and his charred body had returned to normal.

After waking up this morning, Wang Ruyue took a shower and dressed as prettily as possible. She intends to come to Tenku's apartment to check on his condition and surprise him. Wang Ruyue wanted to spend time alone with him today because she only briefly spoke to him last night. She doesn't want to lose to her love rival, Setsuka Fuyushima.

When Tenku wanted to drive Setsuka and Kaede home, Wang Ruyue wanted to accompany her to prevent them from spending time together. But his grandfather stopped her and asked her to stay in the apartment as it was getting late.

Besides, Wang Haotian wanted his grandson to give them time because he felt that there was something important that Setsuka wanted to talk to Tenku about. So he asked Wang Ruyue to stay in the apartment and not disturb them.

Wang Ruyue was irritated but still obeyed her grandfather's words. She intends to repay Setsuka by spending time with Tenku on Christmas day. Wang Ruyue came from Beijing to Tokyo to meet Tenku. Thus, she didn't want to waste her time and intended to deepen their relationship. Wang Ruyue did not fear competing with Setsuka because she did not lose to her, be it in looks, strength, or background.

"Hmm... did I promise that last night? I'm sorry if I forgot because I was tired and went to sleep after returning to the apartment." Tenku recalled everything that had happened last night. Even though he was tired and sleepy, he was sure that he had never promised Wang Ruyue that, and the other party had not said anything about accompanying her to tour Japan on Christmas.

"No. You didn't promise that to me. I'm here to spend my vacation and visit tourist attractions in Japan during winter. Are you not willing to accompany me?" Wang Ruyue looked at Tenku with a sad face.

Tenku secretly sighed in his heart when he saw that. He couldn't refuse a request from Wang Ruyue because he knew her true purpose in coming to Japan was for him.

"Okay. But I have to take a shower first because I just woke up. Do you want to wait inside or at your grandpa's apartment? I'll pick you up there when I'm ready." Tenku looked at Wang Ruyue and asked.

When he opened the door, Tenku didn't pay much attention to her clothes because he was still sleepy. But now he could see her clearly, and he had to admit that Wang Ruyue looked so pretty in her current outfit.

Wang Ruyue wore a brown jacket and black trousers. Even so, it does not cover the slenderness and beauty of her legs. She would be the center of attention wherever she went, and it gave Tenku a headache when he thought he should accompany her around Tokyo today.

"I'll be waiting at your apartment. Last night I only visited briefly to accompany you to take the elixir. Besides, you don't turn on the lights, and it's dark. So I can't take a look at the situation inside your apartment." Wang Ruyue quickly replied.

"Then please come in. You won't find anything special and interesting about this place. My apartment is plain and barely decorated." Tenku let Wang Ruyue into the apartment.

"Excuse me." Wang Ruyue walked into Tenku's apartment and closed the door. After that, she opened her jacket and looked around the room. The place was plain, without any decorations, just like Tenku had told her. When Wang Ruyue saw the dining table, she suddenly smiled after thinking of something.

"Since you just woke up, you must not have had breakfast. I haven't eaten anything this morning, either. Then I will cook for you. Where do you store the ingredients?" Wang Ruyue looked at Tenku and asked.

"I keep the ingredients in the fridge. I don't think there's much left because I didn't have time to shop at the market and refill it." Tenku answered and went inside the bathroom.

Wang Ruyue opened the fridge and was speechless when she looked inside. As Tenku said, there weren't many ingredients left. But then she smiled after knowing what she wanted to cook. She intended to make a simple meal with minimal ingredients for their breakfast.

She didn't take long to finish cooking and put the food on the table. Wang Ruyue sat on a chair at the dining table and supported her chin with both hands while waiting for Tenku with a smile on her face.

Wang Ruyue imagined them to be like a newlywed couple. She felt like a wife who wants to have breakfast with her husband. As Wang Ruyue was lost in her beautiful delusions, the sound of the bell brought her back to her senses.

"Huh? Who is coming to visit in the morning?" Wang Ruyue got up from her seat and went to open the door. She was curious who was the person who came to Tenku's apartment at that hour. When Wang Ruyue opened the door, she and the people who had visited the place were surprised.

The one who came to Tenku's apartment in the morning was Setsuka. She had light makeup on her face and wore simple clothes but looked good on her body. Her current appearance did not lose to Wang Ruyue.

"You!"

Wang Ruyue and Setsuka pointed their fingers and said simultaneously.

"Why are you in Tenku's apartment in the morning!?"

"Why did you come to Tenku's apartment in the morning!?"

The two girls again spoke at the same time. They are ready to fight again like they did last night. But before they moved, a voice sounded from within the apartment.

"Who's coming to visit?" Tenku asked and emerged from inside the apartment, wearing only a towel to cover his lower body.

Setsuka's face darkened when she saw that. She thought that Tenku and Wang Ruyue had done something immoral. Therefore, the girl could be in Tenku's apartment in the morning.

"What are you doing here!?" Setsuka looked at Wang Ruyue and said coldly. She was furious because she thought that girl had stolen Tenku from her.

Setsuka manifested her Phantasmal Object and slashed her sword. Wang Ruyue was shocked because she didn't expect Setsuka would suddenly attack her. She couldn't dodge or block it because he had no time to manifest his Phantasmal Object. Wang Ruyue would have been seriously injured if she had been hit from that close range.

Just as Wang Ruyue was ready to receive Setsuka's slash, a figure suddenly appeared before her and held the sword barehanded. Setsuka and Wang Ruyue were shocked when they saw that.

"Tenku!"

Setsuka and Wang Ruyue shouted in panic at the same time. Tenku raised his hand to Wang Ruyue and showed that he was okay, but his eyes kept on Setsuka.

"What are you doing, Setsuka? Why did you come here and suddenly attack Yu'er?" Tenku said with a solemn face.

"Why did you catch my sword with your bare hands!?" Setsuka said frantically and immediately canceled the manifestation of her Phantasmal Object. Her face changed when he saw Tenku's palms bleeding after blocking her slash.

"I ask you. Why did you suddenly attack Yu'er?" Tenku didn't answer and instead repeated his question.

"She... She came out of your apartment in the morning, and you showed up naked. So I think that you guys are doing something indecent. When I imagined that, I got angry and attacked her." Setsuka answered honestly. She couldn't lie to him because she could feel that Tenku was angry with her actions.

"Why are you thinking that far? You can ask and confirm your conjecture with me. Do you think I'm someone who can't be trusted? Do you think I am that kind of man?" Tenku sighed when he heard her words.

"I apologize. Then what were you two doing inside? The girl was in your apartment in the morning, and you came out with only a towel covering your lower body. So I can only think of the possibility that you did something indecent with her." Setsuka replied and lowered her head. She dared not hear Tenku's next reply because it might break her heart.

"You misunderstood. Come on in. I'll explain it inside. I don't want others to see me in this state with two girls beside me. They will spread gossip that is bad for me and you two." Tenku entered his apartment, and the two girls followed behind him. Setsuka and Wang Ruyue stared at each other intently behind him, and Tenku couldn't help but sigh.

Upon entering the dining room, Setsuka's face clouded over after seeing the food on the table. She knew Tenku could cook, but she was sure it wasn't what he made because it was Chinese food. In other words, the person who cooked it was Wang Ruyue.

After the two girls sat down, Tenku explained why Wang Ruyue was in his apartment in the morning. Setsuka was relieved when she learned nothing had happened between them. But her expression changed when she heard they wanted to travel around Japan alone for the winter holidays.

"I will come with you." Setsuka mustered up the courage to say that. She knew interfering in other people's business was bad, but she didn't want to lose to Wang Ruyue.

"What!? You can't come with us! This is my plan with Tenku! We will only go alone and not accept a third person! So forget about that intention of yours!" Wang Ruyue got up from her seat and raised her voice to Setsuka.

"I will still follow you even if you don't allow me to be with you! You can't stop me because I can go wherever I want! This is Japan and not China!" Setsuka also stood up from her seat and said fearlessly.

"You! You can go wherever you want but not follow us!" Wang Ruyue felt irritated and clenched her fists tightly.

"That matter is up to me and not for you to interfere. Besides that, I have also made food for Tenku. So you're not the only one who can do it." Setsuka smiled and took out a lot of food from her space pocket. Afterward, the two girls bicker and reply to each other's words.

"It looks like today will be troublesome." Tenku sighed and massaged his temples. He felt that this Christmas would be very tiring for him.
