Let's do it again, Yukino.

what--

A piercing scream echoed in the quiet bedroom.

The boy clutched his chest tightly with both hands and let out a pained scream.

"Say it, you're a dog!"

A cold voice slowly rang out.

The boy nodded fiercely, on the verge of tears: "I'm a dog, I, Fat Tiger, am the dog, okay? Xiaoxue, give in, I promise I won't move again, okay?"

After he finished crying, he immediately heard the girl's voice, which was tinged with slight anger.

"How many times have I told you? Don't you dare smell me! Fat Tiger, are you a pervert?"

It's midnight now.

Enraged by the shameless behavior of a certain idiot, she could no longer bear it and turned over. In the darkness, her clear eyes were glaring at the boy in front of her.

"If you move again, I'm really going to kick you off this place, and I'll do it without any mercy."

The fat tiger in front of her had curved eyebrows and equally bright, clear eyes, but now they shone with a pure and joyful light.

The two of them were lying side by side on this soft, large bed.

"Okay, I promise I won't touch it again."

Since she had to go to school tomorrow, Chunri stopped playing around, sat up and made a vow, while her hands stopped what they were doing.

Then, after lying back down on the bed, Kasuga Gian completely suppressed his masculine nature. He slowly pulled the girl, whose body was trembling slightly and whose cheeks were flushed, into his arms. As he felt the warmth and softness from the thin clothing, the lust in the boy's heart completely subsided. He silently patted the girl's shoulder.

"Okay, stop fooling around. Get some rest. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."

"Um……."

Inside the room, only the calm, rhythmic breathing of the young man and woman nestled together could be heard.

Before long, the two of them fell into a deep sleep in peace.

……

…………

After one night,

Morning quietly arrives

I was awakened from my dream in bed on a spring day.

Half asleep, the moment he opened his eyes, he felt as if he had returned to his university days.

The alarm hadn't gone off yet; the sky outside the window was barely dawn, and the sunlight hadn't even reached the bedroom.

However, the girl who was with him had long since disappeared.

Outside the half-open door, the sounds of busy activity could be heard coming from the kitchen.

If Haruhi hadn't confirmed that a certain part of her body was experiencing normal morning reactions during puberty, she probably would have truly felt that her rebirth a few months prior was just a dream.

"call----"

Yawning, and with no intention of going back to sleep, Chunri, wearing only her pajamas, lazily put on a coat and left the bedroom.

"woke up?"

As I approached the kitchen, I heard Xiaoxue's voice, as energetic as ever.

Yukino Yukinoshita was wearing the white shirt from Soubu High School.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, in springtime one could even see the shadow of pink underwear behind her shirt.

The hem of the white shirt covered the exceptionally sexy black shorts, revealing glimpses of her long, fair legs.

Breakfast was just prepared, with toasted bread, milk, and crispy golden-brown fried eggs on the table, looking and smelling delicious.

Just as the girl was preparing today's lunchbox...

Haruhi, leaning against the kitchen door, frowned and snatched the two empty, washed bento boxes from Yukinoshita's hand, offering a suggestion.

"How about we eat lunch at the school cafeteria today? I remember they've added some nice dishes recently."

"you sure?"

Yukinoshita crossed her arms and looked at Haruhi, who was putting the bento box back in the room, with a half-smile.

Fat Tiger just shrugged.

"It's just one day. I'm not the kind of kid who can't survive without someone to eat with."

"...Okay, then."

After a moment of silence, Haruhi saw Yukino nod with an expression that was hard to decipher—whether it was joy or anger—and that was the end of her work.

"Let me handle it."

He smiled, then silently walked behind the girl and helped her untie the apron tied over her shirt.

As he inhaled the aroma of bread and cereal emanating from the girl, he sighed nostalgically, "This is the first time I've ever helped you untie your apron, Xiaoxue. Before, I, Panghu, always helped you untie your underwear—"

The girl, who had just been slightly moved by the boy's actions, lost all the emotion that had been in her eyes. She pinched Chunri's waist hard and said irritably.

"Does Gian really have to ruin my mood so early in the morning?"

"Hey, hey... You, Yuki, all you know how to do is pinch my waist. If you're so capable, Yukinoshita Shizuka, pinch the soles of my feet. I guarantee you'll hurt yourself a thousand times more than the enemy."

Having gradually gotten used to this force, Chunri clicked her tongue in disdain as she folded the apron in her hands and put it away.

Honestly, I already said it was in the past, and you still pinch me...

The two walked towards the dining table, chatting and laughing.

In the quiet of spring, I watched as the first rays of dawn slowly emerged from the east, illuminating the city of Chiba.

He stared blankly at the girl who was quietly sipping her milk.

It's like admiring a beautiful masterpiece.

The girl is Shizuka Yukinoshita in Kasuga Gian's heart.

He rested his chin on his hand, watching the scene before him with a complex mix of emotions.

As expected, beauty is only meant for me, Fat Tiger.

As for guys like Daio Yuigahama, Suneo Hikigaya, and even Hayato Dekisugi...

Please, you're all so weak...

Why are you looking at me? Is there something dirty on my face?

One of the snow maidens blushed slightly under Haruhi's gaze, covered half her face with her delicate hand, and whispered.

"I was thinking, it would be great if Gian married Shizuka in the movie."

The boy lowered his head, and blurted out the words with a mix of emotion and mischievousness.

"what?"

Shizuka Yukinoshita looked completely bewildered, not understanding the meaning behind the boy's words.

"Shouldn't it be Nobita and Shizuka's wedding?"

puff...

The boy laughed.

"Xiaoxue... Lily is not advisable. I will stay by your side and watch over you."

He took a piece of hot bread from the plate, said nothing, and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it down in a few bites.

Ok,

He nodded, and the sunlight shone on them.

Breakfast at Yukinoshita's house

It still smells wonderful.

……

In the beginning, all of us, in our youthful arrogance, pretended to understand when we were confused.

We were clearly reckless, emotionally and intellectually sluggish, lazy, and indecisive back then, yet we always tried to act like mature adults.

Now we've learned to pretend we don't know. We understand the cruelty of society, and we know many things we didn't understand before, yet we still act childishly, smugly, and like to whine and beg to survive.

What a headache-inducing logic...

Chapter 45 Springtime Also Became Reclusive

Ah Qing, I'm pregnant.

The doctor said that my body makes it difficult to get pregnant, and even if I do get pregnant this time, the embryo is unlikely to survive, and there is a risk of miscarriage.

The girl spoke softly on the other end of the phone.

Ah Qing, I'm pregnant.

Ah Qing...

……

…………

The faint chirping of cicadas came from the trees, and the sunlight that was warm just a month ago had begun to slowly turn somewhat scorching.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and streamed into the classroom through the windows.

The light shone on the boy's face, making it quite dazzling.

A slow, heavy feeling came over my eyelids.

At the front of the classroom stood another teacher, whose hairstyle resembled that of a "dean of students," seemingly engaged in a lengthy discourse.

It seems to be telling the story of the Battle of Honnoji.
