I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Despite receiving a strange reward, at his strong suggestion, the two decided to go and enjoy other attractions first.

For example, a carousel.

“I’ll sit in the front, you sit in the back.” Yang Nai said readily, as if it were a preordained agreement, then gathered up her long skirt and skillfully sat sideways on the rocking horse.

It's not the triangular kind, but a fiberglass brown horse that can be ridden by two adults.

They exchanged a glance, then Tenkuji Yu shrugged, crossed his arms and legs, and sat down behind her.

Because of her taut and beautiful waist, he reached out and put his arm around her waist, feeling its warmth and softness.

Without any resistance, Yang Nai naturally leaned back and gently rested against his chest.

"Hmph~"

Her head was pressed down by Yuu Tenkuji's chin, but she laughed very happily, looking up at him with her big, round, bright eyes.

"This is the first time I've ever ridden a horse with a man besides my father. Remember this moment, and be moved when you get back, okay?"

Tenkuji Yu, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, replied softly, "Likewise, and besides, this isn't a real horse, is it?"

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't mind: "Then next time I'll take you to the horse farm I frequent... By the way, can you ride a horse?"

"I know a little bit."

"Really? Where did you learn that?"

"Here you are."

"Huh?" Yang Nai looked completely puzzled.

Before she could ask any further questions, the huge carousel began to turn. The two of them stopped talking and quietly snuggled together, watching the scenery slowly pass by.

A child, about five or six years old, pointed at them and asked, "Mommy, look! There are older brothers and sisters riding the same horse. Are they a couple? Why don't you ride with Daddy?"

The woman holding his hand looked embarrassed and before she could say anything to stop him, Yang Nai put one hand to her cheek like a megaphone, leaned forward, and shouted loudly at him:

"Don't worry, I'll kick him off the stage after we get married!"

Yuu Tenkuji: "..."

Damn it, believe me or not I'll kick you off right now!

Upon hearing her shout, both the child and the mother froze, staring blankly at her smiling face.

The carousel quickly spun past them, and Yukino Yukinoshita didn't bother to care about their reactions. Instead, she looked at Tenkuji Yu, who was giving her a dangerous look and seemed to have some bold idea.

"You can kick me out after we're married, not now." She laughed fearlessly and kissed his chin.

Tenkuji Yu's lips twitched: "...I think we have to kick him now, otherwise we won't have another chance."

"Then we agree that neither of us will kick the other, is that okay?" Shaking her head helplessly, speaking in a tone that soothes a child, Yang Nai suddenly paused, her brows slowly furrowing.

"...Wait, you're not really going to kick me, are you?"

"How could that be? Of course I was just joking!" Tenkuji Yu gave a bright, fake smile.

Pressing her temples, Yukino Yukino was speechless this time: "As expected, you can be even more annoying than me sometimes."

Following the carousel, there's now the ultra-high-speed rotating coffee cup.

Relying on his newly acquired state, Tenkuji Yu managed to weather the storm and successfully turned the tables, leaving the seemingly perfect superhuman Yukino Yukinoshita feeling dizzy and nauseous, jokingly saying that she had experienced the feeling of being pregnant ahead of time.

I was also scolded by the staff for almost damaging the amusement park ride.

It was 6:30 p.m., and after Yang Nai recovered from the aftereffects of the coffee, the two began to discuss where to go for dinner.

Finally, they were given the option to freely browse and choose from the food court within the park. Yuuki Tenkuji took Yukinoshita Haruno's hand again and headed in the direction indicated by the signpost.

"Wait a minute, my shoelaces are untied."

Yukino stopped and was about to squat down to re-tie her shoelaces when Yuuto Tenkuji suddenly had a flash of inspiration and quickly stopped her.

"Let me help you."

"You'll help me? What's there to help with?" Yang Nai looked at him with a puzzled expression, but Tenkuji Yu didn't explain. Instead, he pulled her to sit down on a bench next to him.

He then knelt down on one knee in front of her and tied the loose shoelaces into a pretty bow—unfortunately, Yang Nai's skirt was knee-length, and from this angle, he couldn't see anything when he looked up.

"What are you doing...?"

Yang Nai slightly opened her mouth, her cheeks flushing slightly. She naturally thought of a marriage proposal from his posture... but then she shook her head with amusement, denying it to herself.

His voice suddenly rang out:

"Yang Nai, extend your left hand for a moment."

"!"

Her eyes widened in surprise as she stared at his earnest and gentle expression. She remained silent for a long time, ultimately unable to utter a single word.

She bit her lower lip slightly, her hand trembling with anticipation and nervousness, and extended her fair and slender left hand toward him.

"It's really strange," Yukinoshita thought.

At this point, you should tease him by saying, "What, do you want to propose to me?", or lift his chin and use a mature woman's attitude to make him blush.

This is consistent with Yukino Yukinoshita's usual style.

She had already developed an unparalleled communication skills in the business world, and could always maintain a composed and mature adult demeanor, whether in front of strangers, her parents, or her younger sister.

But now, why is it that even though he's the one proposing and looking at me with such serious eyes, I feel like a little girl in love, my heart pounding and my limbs almost out of my control?

Is it really more difficult to restrain yourself from showing your affection for someone than to be adept at social graces and charming people in social situations?

When he gently held her fingers, Yukinoshita Haruno finally smiled with relief.

It's like standing on a tightrope when suddenly someone reaches out and firmly supports you.

She looked at the boy kneeling on one knee in front of her, her eyes curving into crescents, her gaze gentler than the distant night.

"If you propose to me now, we can go and fill out the marriage registration form right now."

"So much initiative? I'm not even eighteen yet."

Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but smile wryly. Instead of directly addressing the question, she took out a beaded bracelet carefully wrapped in a plastic bag from her bag and tied it to Yukinoshita Haruno's left wrist.

He lifted her little hand, examined it carefully, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

"It really is beautiful."

The plastic beads of various colors were strung together. They were inexpensive yet exquisite, and they complemented her fair and slender wrists perfectly. They would be even more beautiful if there were sunlight now.

However, under the dim light of night, it can also be quietly pleasing to the eye.

"Did you make this yourself?" Yukinoshita Haruno pulled her hand back and looked at it curiously. "I didn't expect you could even do this."

"It's alright, I guess. You just won't learn it." Tenkuji Yu shrugged, stood up, and plopped down next to her. "Do you like it? If you don't, you can give it back to me."

"Did you have to add that last sentence?" Yang Nai glared at him unhappily, then smiled again.

"I like you as a person, so of course I'll like the gift you gave me too."

"That's good." Yuu Tenkuji breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked up and saw a few stars twinkling in the clear night sky, like actors who had taken the stage early and were gradually forming the shape of the Milky Way.

But it's invisible, right?

After all, in Tokyo, people have replaced the beautiful Milky Way with dazzling neon lights, so it's already quite nice to be able to see a few constellations occasionally.

"It's a pity I didn't bring you a gift, so this is the only way I can repay you."

Her voice suddenly rang out.

Before Yuuki Tenkuji could react, Yukino Yukinoshita jumped off the bench, turned around with her hands behind her back, and stood prettily in front of him.

Then she quickly lowered her head and gently pecked him on the cheek.

"..."

Tenkuji Yu touched her still-warm cheek and stared at him blankly.

"Hehehe~ This is a kiss full of love, you should be able to feel it, right?"

The young lady of the Yukinoshita family covered her lips with the back of her hand, her pretty face flushed, and she smiled very shyly, completely losing all composure.

It was clearly still Tokyo night.

But for some reason, he saw the Milky Way over Tokyo shining brightly before him, and with a "whoosh," it poured straight down into his heart.

Chapter Ninety-Two: His Eternal Night Welcomes the Light (Part Two)

Finally, amidst the blessing glances and applause of those lining the street, the two left hand in hand, feigning affection.

"Did they misunderstand something?" Yuu Tenkuji whispered in her ear.

"Hmm... I guess he thinks you proposed to me, right? A poor guy like me can't afford a wedding ring, so he uses a bracelet to express his feelings. What a romantic story."

She rested her head on his shoulder and Yukinoshita Haruno analyzed the situation logically.

Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the beads on her wrist, and the corners of her full lips couldn't help but curve upwards: "It's a pity that Xiao Youyou doesn't have any romantic sense~ Why didn't you just take that opportunity to propose to me? What a waste."

I don't know exactly what's so regrettable about it.

"Are you in such a hurry to get married?" Yuu Tenkuji rolled her eyes speechlessly. "It's too early for college students and high school students to talk about this. You're not some thirty-something voice actress desperate to get married."

Feeling exhausted, Yukino sighed, "There's nothing I can do. My mother wants to have a grandson soon. She said it would be best to have two, a boy and a girl, and the one who inherits the family fortune can take my surname."

Tenkuji Yu's lips curled slightly: "You've even thought that far ahead... Your mother is even more impatient than you."

“Yes, yes, that person is really awful!” Yukinoshita Haruno nodded repeatedly, her expression serious and earnest. “Don’t be fooled by her gentle and virtuous demeanor, like a typical Yamato Nadeshiko. She actually has a terrible personality… Let me give you a few examples.”

"Achoo!"

The teacup had barely been set down when Mrs. Yukinoshita, far away at home, couldn't help but sneeze.

She gently covered her nose, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and looked around in confusion.

"That's strange. Is someone talking badly about me?"

Although this belief is a bit superstitious, there's no reason for me to suddenly sneeze...

"Mother, isn't my sister eating dinner today? Where did she go?"
