Let's do it again, Yukino.

He recounted everything to the girl in front of him in detail.

After Hiratsuka Shizuka found out about that incident, Kasuga no longer intended to hide it from Yukinoshita.

However, it was too embarrassing to say it out loud, so he was too ashamed to take the initiative to open the account.

……

…………

Five minutes later

"A prayer? A price? A sacrifice? Just because of this illusory lie, you willingly handed over your wallet, and when they gave you a 20% discount, you were still gratefully shaking their hand and saying thank you?"

"...Hacikashi, Xiaoxue, please stop. I know it was my fault. Please don't repeat it again."

Chunri covered her face, her ears turning bright red.

Yukinoshita: "..."

After a long silence,

Yukino sighed and grabbed Haruhi's collar again.

"Fine, I'm more inclined to believe that you're cheating on me with several women behind my back. Tell me, what's the name of that vixen you exchanged tokens of love with?"

Kasuga: "..."

? ?

That's not fair, Xiaoxue.

At night, Chunri, who had repeated the thought "women are all big pigs" to herself for the umpteenth time, was speechless for a moment.

I'm innocent! Lord Xue!

written request for leave

I have some family matters to attend to these past few days, so I'm taking a temporary break. Updates will resume tomorrow.

Chapter Seventy: The Ten Vows of the Kasuga Family

"Am I that kind of person, Haruhi? Or do you think I'm the kind of fickle person, Xiaoxue?"

night,

Looking at the girl who had finally been persuaded by him, Chunri shook his head helplessly.

From just now until now,

The two weren't on the same wavelength.

"Who knows? Don't you think the spring you live now is very different from the one in your past life? You put on such a sanctimonious appearance, but who knows what you're really thinking about me now?"

Although it might just be her overthinking, seeing the smug look on the boy's face as he deliberately tried to intimidate her with reason, Xiaoxue couldn't help but retort again.

"Okay, Xiaoxue, you girls are really something. In my past life, you were the one who wanted me to become a better person. Now, you think I'm just being pretentious compared to back then. So, what else do you want from me? Just say it."

"See? You're annoyed by me again after just a few words. It's clearly you, Ah Qing, who feels guilty, but you won't apologize to me."

Kasuga: "..."

For a moment, Chunri didn't know how to reply to his girlfriend without being contradicted.

"Speak up, why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling guilty?"

"I didn't... really."

In spring, the sweat on one's forehead begins to increase.

This is so troublesome. How can I resolve this situation? In my past life, we dated for so many years, and Xiaoxue was never this difficult.

Xiaoxue looked at Chunri with her eyes and said, "I know, you just don't want to talk to me."

"I don't want to talk to you. Can I come out with you?"

"You want to kick me aside as soon as you meet a prettier girl like this time, right, Ah Qing?"

"No way, Xiaoxue, I don't care what you look like. What I love about you is your gentle and considerate personality."

"So even if I'm good-looking, it's all for nothing, right?"

"No way, Xiaoxue is pretty and slim, she and a handsome guy like me would be a perfect match."

"From now on, remember to be more focused on me. When you're talking, don't be distracted or daydream."

"Sigh... I wasn't daydreaming at all, I'm innocent!"

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

"Sighing again. You're really annoyed with me, aren't you?"

"How could that be? Look how good-tempered I am now, there's no way I could possibly bother you, Xiaoxue."

"So you're still annoyed with me? You're only not annoyed because you have a good temper, right?"

"Really, no. Um, Hachiman and the others must be getting impatient waiting for me. Why don't we go back first and not let them notice anything amiss?"

Chunri leaned over and took Xiaoxue's soft, boneless hand in hers, feeling that if they continued talking, they might have to explain until dawn.

"You've moved on to someone else. Tell me, are you even annoyed with me?"

"No, really no, Xiaoxue, what do you want me to do to make you believe my heart? Do you want me to dig out my heart and show it to you?"

"No matter how you explain it this time, I won't believe it. You just never value me as I am now."

It seems that at this moment, Xiaoxue's mental age has reverted to that of kindergarten. No matter how much Chunri tries to persuade her, Xiaoxue just won't listen.

"..."

The night was dark, and a cold wind swept in.

This woman,

Chunri's brows furrowed deeper as the girl's unruly behavior fueled his anger and resentment.

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare, Xiaoxue?"

"What do you want to do?"

Shortly after Xiaoxue finished speaking, Chunri's expression turned serious.

The boy raised one hand high.

The high-pitched and clear sound suddenly rang out in the park, catching Xiaoxue across the way off guard.

"Okay, I swear, from today onwards, I, Chunriqing, will make 'serving Xiaoxue' the center of my life, take good care of my daily life and work, and strictly abide by the discipline of pleasing my girlfriend."

"What are you talking about?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet, Xiaoxue, so shut up!"

Even in the darkness of night, spring rolls its eyes at the snow.

If possible, Chunri doesn't want to recite her past life's special skills.

This was a powerful move that Haruhi would only use when the two of them were arguing to the point of no return, back in her previous life.

If Xiaoxue still remembers the ten promises she made to the Kasuga family, they should be quite useful.

As expected, I still have to unleash my ultimate move.

"From today onwards, I, Chunriqing, will practice personal frugality and pay attention to saving money. In the future, I will quit smoking, drinking, tea, snacks, and drinking parties. In short, I will reduce my personal expenses to the minimum. If I have any spare change each month, I will return it all to Xiaoxue after a certain period of time. This will not only increase the family income but also bring surprises to my girlfriend, killing two birds with one stone."

"From today onwards, I, Haruhi, will take 'girlfriend's preferences' as my starting point, ensure the stability and unity between us, listen to Koyuki in everything, and constantly regulate my behavior to maintain the stability and unity of the Haruhi family."

"Shut up……"

In the darkness, only the sound of snowflakes in spring could be heard, softly interspersed with two gentle words.

But Haruhi, who was already lost in his own world, did not hear what Yuki was saying. He continued reciting the promise with his eyes closed and without looking up: "In the past, Haruhi Haruhi liked to prevent his mentor Hiratsuka from smoking. He would smoke one or two packs a day without hesitation. Yuki hated this so much that he changed his ways and vowed to quit smoking. When the craving came, he would at most burn a mosquito coil to satisfy his craving."

"Shut up... Ah Qing."

"We firmly adhere to the principle that 'Xiaoxue is always right.' Even if Xiaoxue is wrong, we earnestly implement the basic principle of 'not fighting back when hit, not talking back when scolded, and dodging when Xiaoxue kicks us.' The couple is stable and united, and the atmosphere is wonderful and warm."

"Stop memorizing it!!"

It was still the girl's voice, unable to resist interrupting spring, tinged with a hint of impatience.

"Although Haruhi never betrayed Yuki in the past, I, Haruhi, still adhere to the principle of correcting my mistakes and striving for improvement, and insist on being a down-to-earth person and doing things honestly. My initiative in life needs to be strengthened. I will strive to make further progress, overcome all shortcomings, and promote my strengths so that the Haruhi family's standard of living can be raised to a higher level. And Yuki and I will continue to love each other forever!!!"

"..."

“Oath taken by: Spring Sunny Day”

Having practiced all ten of the Kasuga family's promises in one go, Kasuga let out a deep sigh of relief, then raised her head again, casting a fawning glance at Yuki's figure.

"I made a vow too, so you see how amazing I am? It's an article longer than a thesis, and I still remember it after all these years. So, Xiaoxue, don't be angry... Hey? Where's the snowman?"

Springtime's words came to an abrupt halt. He was stunned, scratching his head and looking around.

A desolate scene unfolded, devoid of any human voice.

Weiwei still retained a trace of that ice-and-snow maiden's fragrance.

Xiaoxue was nowhere to be seen. In the desolate park, he was left alone standing in the pavilion.

The night lights flickered, creating a particularly serene atmosphere.

Did you go back first...?

Scratching my head in spring.

I've been doing pretty well behind your back, so why are you still angry...?

"I thought I would understand Xiaoxue better after the cultural festival... but I still don't understand what Xiaoxue is thinking."

The boy didn't follow the girl's footsteps. He looked up at the cold, glowing crescent moon and sighed.

This school trip was so boring.
