Long Tao noticed her mood change and said softly, "Yinghua, are you worried about something?" Ishihara Sakura shook her head and forced a smile: "No, I'm just a little tired." Long Tao didn't ask any more questions, but patted her shoulder gently: "Go to bed early, you still have classes tomorrow." Ishihara Sakura nodded and stood up: "Well, Brother Long Tao, you should also rest early." Looking at Ishihara Sakura's back as she returned to her room, Long Tao felt a little uneasy. He knew that Sakura might have some complicated emotions in her heart, but he didn't know how to comfort her. The next day, Long Tao went to school as usual. During the break, he suddenly received a text message from Ishihara Mina. "Long Tao, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to a meal as a thank you for helping me solve that problem." Long Tao smiled slightly and replied: "Okay, sister, see you tonight." In the evening, Long Tao came to the restaurant where Ishihara Mina had agreed to meet him. Ishihara Mina was already waiting at the door, and when she saw Long Tao coming, she immediately showed a warm smile. "Long Tao, thank you for coming today." Ishihara Mina said gently.
Long Tao smiled and said, "Sister, it's too formal for you to say that." The two walked into the restaurant and found a quiet corner to sit down. Ishihara Mina ordered a few dishes that Long Tao liked, and then the two began to chat about recent events. "Long Tao, how is your work lately? Is the creation of the comics going smoothly?" Ishihara Mina asked with concern. Long Tao nodded: "Not bad, I have a lot of inspiration recently, and the creation is progressing smoothly." Ishihara Mina smiled and said, "That's good. I believe you will become a great cartoonist." Long Tao smiled and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, sister. I will work hard." The two chatted happily and time passed by unknowingly. After dinner, Ishihara Mina suggested going to a nearby coffee shop and Long Tao readily agreed. In the coffee shop, Ishihara Mina suddenly stopped the topic, turned around and looked at Long Tao, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes: "Long Tao, I want to ask you something." Long Tao was slightly stunned and nodded: "What's the matter?" Ishihara Mina took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "You and Aragaki Yiyi have a good relationship, right?" Chapter 269 Happy Long Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, Yiyi is my good friend. We study and create together." Ishihara Mina lowered her head and said softly, "I'm a little worried that your relationship will affect your creation." Long Tao smiled slightly and said gently: "Sister, don't worry, Yiyi is a very sensible girl, she won't affect me." Ishihara Mina raised her head with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, Long Tao. You are always so gentle." Long Tao smiled and said nothing more. He knew that love cannot be forced, and letting nature take its course is the best choice. In the evening, Long Tao returned home and found Ishihara Sakura sitting in the living room watching TV. When she saw Long Tao coming in, she immediately smiled and said, "Brother Long Tao, you are back." Long Tao nodded and walked over to sit next to her: "Sakura, how was your day?" Ishihara Sakura smiled and said, "Not bad, there were a lot of interesting things in school today."
The two chatted for a while, and Ishihara Sakura suddenly asked: "Brother Long Tao, where did you go today?" Long Tao was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Sister Mina and I went to dinner. She treated me to dinner as a thank you for helping her solve that matter." Ishihara Sakura nodded, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes: "Oh, so that's how it is." Long Tao noticed her mood change and said softly, "Yinghua, are you worried about something?" Ishihara Sakura shook her head and forced a smile: "No, I'm just a little tired." Long Tao didn't ask any more questions, but patted her shoulder gently: "Go to bed early, you still have classes tomorrow."

He knew that Sakura might have some complicated emotions in her heart, but he didn't know how to comfort her. The next day, Long Tao went to school as usual. During the break, he suddenly received a text message from Xinyuan Yiyi. "Brother Long Tao, are you free today? I want to talk to you." Long Tao was slightly stunned, and replied: "Okay, see you after school." After school, Long Tao and Aragaki Yiyi met at a coffee shop near the school. Aragaki Yiyi looked a little nervous, but when she saw Long Tao coming, she immediately smiled. "Brother Long Tao, thank you for coming today." Aragaki Yiyi said gently. Long Tao smiled and said, "Yiyi, it's too formal for you to say that." The two found a quiet corner to sit down. Aragaki Yiyi ordered two cups of coffee, and then the two began to chat about recent events. "Brother Long Tao, how is your relationship with Ishihara Sakura recently?" Aragaki Yiyi suddenly asked. Long Tao was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Not bad, Sakura is my good friend, and we have always had a good relationship." Aragaki Yiyi lowered her head and said softly, "I'm a little worried that she might misunderstand our relationship." Long Tao smiled slightly and said gently: "Don't worry, Yinghua is a very sensible girl, she won't misunderstand us." Xin Yuan Yiyi raised her head with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, Brother Long Tao. You are always so gentle." Long Tao smiled and said nothing more. He knew that love cannot be forced, and letting nature take its course is the best choice. In the evening, Long Tao returned home and found Ishihara Sakura sitting in the living room watching TV.

He knew that Sakura might have some complicated emotions in her heart, but he didn't know how to comfort her. Chapter 270 Forever and Forever The next day, Long Tao returned to the university campus and ran into his good brother Hu Yueli. When Hu Yueli saw Long Tao, he immediately ran over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Long Tao, you are finally back! What have you been busy with recently?" Long Tao smiled and replied, "I've been busy creating comics and participating in some activities recently. How about you, how are you doing recently?" Hu Yueli's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said mysteriously: "I have good news to tell you. The school is going to hold an annual singing party!" Long Tao was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Singing party? That's a traditional event in our school. It's very lively every year." Hu Yueli nodded and said excitedly, "Yes, this year's singing party is said to be more exciting, and the school has also invited some well-known singers to perform. Are you interested in participating?" Long Tao smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, my singing skills are not that good." Hu Yueli laughed: "Don't be modest, you sang well last year. Let's sign up together this year, it's a fun opportunity anyway." Long Tao thought about it and nodded: "Okay, since you said so, I will accompany you." Hu Yueli patted Long Tao's shoulder happily: "Great! Then let's go sign up this afternoon." In the afternoon, Long Tao and Hu Yueli went to sign up for the singing evening. There was already a long queue at the registration office, and everyone was discussing this year's evening with great interest. When it was Long Tao and Hu Yueli's turn to sign up, the teacher in charge of registration asked with a smile: "What song are you going to sing?" Hu Yueli looked at Long Tao and said with a smile: "We haven't decided yet, but we will definitely choose a classic song." The teacher nodded and handed them a registration form: "Then you can fill out this form first, and you can confirm the songs before the party." After filling out the registration form, Long Tao and Hu Yueli walked out of the registration office together. Hu Yueli said excitedly: "Long Tao, we have to practice well, otherwise it will be embarrassing." Long Tao smiled and nodded: "No problem, we must prepare well." In the following days, Long Tao and Hu Yueli took time out every day to practice the song together. They chose a classic old song with a beautiful melody and touching lyrics. The two cooperated well and practiced very seriously. In the evening, Long Tao was practicing with Hu Yueli in the practice room when he suddenly received a call from Ishihara Sakura. "Brother Long Tao, what are you busy with at school?" There was a hint of curiosity in Ishihara Sakura's voice. Long Tao smiled and said, "Hu Yueli and I are practicing songs and preparing to participate in the school singing party." In fact, with Long Tao's professional singing level, he would have performed very well in this evening party. However, since Hu Yueli wanted to participate, Long Tao was not going to steal his limelight, as there would be plenty of opportunities later.
Ishihara Sakura's eyes flashed with excitement: "Singing party? That must be fun! Can I come and see your performance?" Long Tao was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Of course, you can come and watch the party on the day of the party." Ishihara Sakura said happily: "Great, I will definitely go!" After hanging up the phone, Hu Yueli asked with a smile: "Is it Yinghua? Is she coming to see our performance too?" Long Tao nodded: "Yes, she is very interested in this kind of activity."
