Let's do it again, Yukino.

As time went by, the so-called cheering speeches turned into questions from the students to this young man in spring.

During this process, Chunri patiently answered every student's question.

Surprisingly, neither Hiratsuka-sensei nor Shiromaki-senpai tried to stop the strange atmosphere.

I silently observed the process.

till the end,

The boy in spring, having answered all the questions raised by his classmates, breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted the teacher's desk.

He asked everyone with a somewhat solemn expression.

"If, in a certain year and month, you were given a second chance to do something you regretted, how would you seize that opportunity?"

"..."

……

A sense of interconnected pathways spread from the boy's strong heart.

It greedily absorbed the warmth from the depths of the soul.

In the blink of an eye, I shattered the stars and scattered the floating clouds.

Yes

If I gave you a chance to do it all over again

Would you do the same thing as me?

(P.S.: To all the readers who have made it this far, and haven't complained about whether the ending is tragic or not, I've already said before that it's definitely the best ending. Anyway, it won't be long before it ends, so please hang in there a little longer. Also, please, some people, stop stirring up trouble.)

Chapter Seven: Junko, Haru, Yukino-chan... Karan

"If, in a certain year and month, you were given a second chance to do something you regretted, how would you seize that opportunity?"

……

"I don't know what your answers are, but right now I want to become the student council president of our Zongwu High School. It's not for honor or so-called power. I just want to put a final period to my regrettable high school life."

In the end, Chunri silently lowered her head.

"Please, this is not an order, it is my request."

"And it's a request that we absolutely do not want you to refuse."

In the classroom, Chunri uttered these last words under everyone's gaze.

……

"Are you satisfied with this speech, senior?"

Before school ended, Haruhi called out to Shiromaru-senpai, who was about to return to the student council.

"It's a secret."

Shiromaru-senpai still had a gentle smile on her face. She shook her head and didn't tell Haruhi the result.

"However, I think I can understand why Hiratsuka-sensei and Haruno-senpai treat you differently now."

Before parting, Senior Shiro said these words.

……

…………

"Are you done with work?"

Xiaoxue, leaning against a tree not far from the school gate, observed the boy who had run up to her with sweat still beading on his forehead.

"Yes, all the work for today is temporarily taken care of."

"Then come back with me early. I'll cook tonight; I want to make you some good dishes."

Yukinoshita's expression remained calm and composed, her words completely out of sync with her expression.

"..."

However, for some reason, Haruhi frowned with a troubled expression.

"what happened?"

"Um, Junko asked you and Xiaoxue to have dinner at her place tonight, and I've already agreed."

Haruhi scratched his head. He hadn't been back to his hometown for a few days, and Junko was already starting to complain a little.

"...Then shall I go with you?"

Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment, and a few blushes appeared on her originally fair and delicate face.

"Of course, Junko specifically told us to. She called earlier to say that she went to the supermarket to buy groceries first, and she would prepare dinner. She told us to go home early and wait for her."

He mounted the Snow Mountain, reached out and pulled the girl onto his back seat, saying without hesitation.

…………

After a long bike journey,

He took out the key, which was almost covered in dust, and pushed open the door.

The apartment was dark and gloomy.

The not-so-spacious living room was still dark.

Spring silently led Xiaoxue to the entrance. Looking at the quiet space, she couldn't help but cover her forehead and sigh.

"She probably hasn't come back yet. Honestly, Junko hasn't changed her old habits. When she goes out to buy groceries, she always keeps picking and choosing."

"This can only be considered a good point, right? It shows that Aunt Chunzi is very frugal."

No matter what the situation, Yukino Yukinoshita will always stand by Junko Kasuga's side, without any hesitation, even if it means becoming an enemy of Haru Kasuga.

"Forget it, she didn't think about being frugal when she bought the beer."

Springtime pouted.

……

I turned on the living room lights and drew back the curtains on the balcony.

The view outside the window had transformed into a scene of dazzling lights amidst the darkness.

With nothing else to do, Xiaoxue also sidled up to Chunri, keeping the boy company as they stood by the window, gazing up at the enchanting scenery.

"Chiba is more beautiful than Tokyo, isn't it, Koyuki?"

"Yes, of course. No Chiba person would not consider Chiba to be the best place in their heart."

"By the way, speaking of which, when Ah Qing has some free time and has saved up some money, how about taking me to Hawaii for a trip?"

"A beautiful beach, admiring swimsuits and bikinis? Well, if that's the case, I'll definitely go with Xiaoxue."

"You can admire bikinis, but I only allow Ah Qing to admire my outfit."

In their previous lives, neither of them had ever traveled abroad. The furthest they had ever gone was to Osaka, which they considered a graduation trip.

Even Hikigaya and Yui went abroad to Sanya for their honeymoon.

"I definitely will, Xiaoxue. I promise you, if I have the chance, I will take you to Hawaii."

As he stroked the girl's soft, flowing hair in the spring, his eyes filled with love, he made an intimate promise to the girl in front of him.

"Ah Qing, you must remember that you still owe me a lot: a romantic proposal, a romantic honeymoon, a romantic wedding, and much more. You will have to spend the rest of your life slowly repaying these debts. So no matter what happens, I will never let you go easily."

"Yes, I promise you, I will stay here and wait for you to come find me, Xiaoxue."

The boy softly made a vow to the girl.

Even without saying it, the two of them gradually developed a subtle and unspoken understanding during their time together.

Suddenly, as Xiaoxue, enjoying the gentle caress of spring, looked up at the boy, silently closed her eyes, and her rosy lips shone with a hint of light. The girl spoke to the boy tenderly and lovingly.

"Ah Qing, let's kiss, just a light kiss that won't create the atmosphere of wanting to make love."

Holding Xiaoxue's delicate body in his arms, standing by the curtains in the spring sunshine, he was somewhat curious why Xiaoxue, who always "loves spring," would make such a gentle request: "Then why not go a little deeper?"

"Because I'm worried that your aunt might come back halfway through, and a kiss would probably elicit a stronger reaction from you, Ah Qing, than a hug."

Springtime felt inexplicably shy after hearing Xiaoxue's words.

"Xiaoxue, you're the same way. Just a kiss and you're all soaked."

"Because I love you..."

The girl was about to reply when Chunri's tongue fiercely sealed her rosy lips.

Of course, a light, gentle kiss wasn't springtime's style; besides the touch of lips, springtime also boldly used her tongue.

"...Hmm...Ah Qing...you're getting more and more skilled. Why are you so skilled, Ah Qing?"

Faintly, I could hear Xiaoxue's teasing yet indistinct words.

"Don't give me those love triangle tropes. You should know very well why you're so skilled, Xiaoxue. You've been here with Xiaoxue so many times, of course you'd be skilled."

"But that's not enough..."

The girl's indistinct voice continued to come through.

"or……"

"or……"

Halfway through their conversation, the boy and girl's eyes, filled with love and burning with passion, met.

Chunri gave a mischievous grin and then planned to pull the girl toward the bedroom.

"Remember not to mess up my clothes too much...be gentle."

The girl let out a soft moan, nestling against the boy and letting him hold her hand.
