In fact, I can add unlimited points

Involving students in the operation of the school can be said to be an implicit acceptance from the beginning by the highly nurturing school administration, and student council members will use their respective advantages to help their classes - so why be polite!

However, Horikita Manabu has his own principles, so of course it can't be considered wrong. Didn't you see that the teachers and students of the highly trained school all acknowledge each other's title as "the most outstanding student council president in history"?

However, with the responsibility of managing the student council on one hand and taking on the leadership of Class 3A on the other, he seemed to be in a bit of a bind, making it difficult to do well in both areas and leaving many loopholes.

Hmm~ I'm talking about Nan Yunya and Class 3-B.

The former's propositions contradict those of the student council, and it has even begun to extend its reach to the third-year students; the latter, with just one sports festival, is showing signs of catching up.

This shows that Horikita Manabu's prestige was not as high as one might imagine, whether in the student council or in his third year.

On the other hand, there are probably not many outstanding talents in Class 3A. It's like a high-end version of Katsuragi Kohei, dragging a group of ordinary Class 3A students with good overall abilities but not outstanding ones forward.

Although this had little to do with Shun Aragaki, the girl in front of him, Akane Tachibana, was also a member of Class 3-A. Seeing the worry in her eyes, the boy couldn't help but gently scratch the girl's palm with his fingers.

Ju Qian blushed slightly, looking at her junior with some confusion.

"Today is our first date, so don't be secretly frowning."

Holding the secretary's face in his hands, Aragaki Shun earnestly instructed, "I have already suppressed Nangumo Masa's side. Past facts have proven that without the support of the second year, Class B of the third year has no strength to fight against your Class A of the third year on its own."

"Even if something unexpected happens again, I'm still here. Even if it's just for my lovely Akane-senpai, I won't stand by and watch her die."

Whether considering the time available or the remaining savings, there was indeed no way to make money in the third year, so Shun Aragaki had no reason to integrate those graduating students.

But what can I do when I am ill?

To make the dessert he was about to eat even more delicious, Shun Aragaki didn't mind putting in his own effort at the crucial moment, directly crushing the ambitions of Class 3-B.

Anyway, this kind of person who needs Nagumo Masaru's support to make Horikita Manabu look bad can be dealt with with a flick of the finger, and it doesn't take much effort at all.

"For...for me..."

Hearing such a direct statement, Tachibana Akane felt dizzy. Despite never having drunk alcohol before, she naturally fell into a state of intoxication due to the excitement in her heart.

She never imagined that she would hold such importance in another boy's eyes.

Isn't that a foul?

"That's right, it has nothing to do with the situation in the third year, it's just for the sake of Akane-senpai in front of me, nothing more."

Gently patting the girl's soft, warm cheeks, Shun Aragaki frankly stated his position.

"So you have to make it up to me today. Put aside all those trivial matters and focus all your energy on this date."

"I...I understand..."

Faced with her junior's assertive declaration, the girl showed no resistance whatsoever; on the contrary, her eyes were overflowing with affection.

"Even if something unexpected happens again, I'm still here for you!"

No other reason was needed; just hearing that sentence, Tachibana Akane knew she simply couldn't refuse the person in front of her.

Although she was two years ahead of her, she knew that she had never had her own opinions since she was a child and was always confused about how to move forward.

Therefore, the girl wanted someone to rely on. If the person she liked could make decisions for her, she would not feel wronged at all, but would feel relaxed all over.

If Aragaki-kun wants her to put aside all other trivial matters and focus solely on the date in front of her, then she is naturally able to do so.

As for the fact that class competition is actually very important and not a trivial matter... Aragaki-kun has already promised to help her, so what is there to worry about?

Yes! My junior, Aragaki, needs me! I absolutely cannot let him down!

"So...where should we go now?"

Her purple eyes darted away, unable to meet the boy's burning gaze. Tachibana's body went weak, completely abandoning the idea she had fantasized about last night—that she would take the lead in this date—and leaving all the decisions to him.

Perhaps, even if Shun Aragaki took Akane Tachibana to a hotel right now, the girl would only bow her head and submit, feigning reluctance.

Of course, he wasn't so clueless about romance that he had planned some date activities before coming to meet her.

"This school is only so big, and there aren't many facilities to play on. We still have time today, so we can try out all the ones that are suitable."

Aragaki Shun chuckled softly, then took her other hand in his, palm to palm, exchanging warmth.

Perhaps because the air conditioning in the shopping mall was set too low, Tachibana Akane's hands seemed a little stiff. The girl let the assertive junior lead her forward, only quietly tightening the small shawl on her shoulders a little more.

"Should we watch a movie first or go shopping first?"

"Let's...let's watch a movie first," she replied softly, her eyes glued to a light brown headband in the shop window.

Shun Aragaki followed her gaze, a smile playing on his lips. "Then let's buy a headband first, and then go see a movie."

Akane wanted to say something, but the boy had already pushed the door open and gone inside.

The shop assistant handed the headband to her palm. The velvet surface was soft to the touch. As she pinned it on in front of the mirror, her fingertips trembled—it was the first time she had received a date gift from the boy she liked.

"It looks really good!"

Shun Aragaki stood behind the girl, gently stroking her soft, purple, shoulder-length hair. In the mirror, one could see his intensely focused gaze, which made the secretary even more timid and shy.

How useless! The date has only just begun, and I've already lost all will to resist.

Now, the younger student is really going to take advantage of me...

.........

Due to the high-volume audience restrictions, the cinema didn't offer students many choices. When he and Tachibana Akane came to buy tickets, they could only pick out a relatively obscure art film from a few inexplicably bad movies.

There weren't many people in the hall; they were scattered around. After all, the sports festival had just ended, and not many people were in the mood to come out and have fun.

But this can be considered a good thing. Shun Aragaki and Akane Tachibana sat in a corner at the back, where there was no one else around, which made it convenient for the couple to have some small interactions.

The lights dimmed, and Miss Secretary, clutching popcorn, had no idea what the story was about—because Shun Aragaki's fingertips were lightly brushing against the back of her hand, like playing a silent piano.

The girl pretended to be nonchalant as she looked at the big screen, but in reality, every touch felt like static electricity crackling and exploding at her nerve endings.

Halfway through the movie, she finally couldn't hold back any longer and whispered in the boy's ear, "Aragaki-kun...aren't you going to look ahead?"

“Who goes to the movies with their partner just to watch something boring?” His voice chuckled in the darkness. “Not to mention, it’s not like we’re showing any classic films today.”

After a few lighthearted banter, the next second, Aragaki Shun brazenly grabbed Tachibana Akane's fingers, their fingers intertwined.

Feeling the secretary's heart pounding so hard it seemed about to burst out, the boy laughed even harder.

"See? Even my senior can't concentrate. I'm clearly more interesting than the movie, right?"

That's so mean!

Seeing her junior's somewhat childishly proud demeanor, Tachibana Akane was both amused and exasperated.

But it must be admitted that the other party does have reason to be proud.

"Um......"

.........

After the movie ended, the two went to the arcade for a while, and soon it was afternoon.

Seeing that the girl looked a little thirsty, Shun Aragaki led his senior to the coffee shop on the street corner.

The iced Americano and strawberry daifuku were served, with a mint leaf stuck on top of the cream.

Ju Qian took a small bite, and a little white foam appeared on the corner of her lips.

Aragaki Shun pulled out a tissue to wipe her face, his movements slow and deliberate. The secretary's body stiffened for a moment, and the tips of her ears turned rosy again.

Staring blankly at the man before her, the girl suddenly mustered her courage, held her breath, and asked softly:

"Aragaki-kun... what is our relationship now?"

"We've come this far, why are you still asking this kind of question?" Aragaki Shun was somewhat amused and exasperated. He extended his right hand, placed his palm on the cool back of her hand, and intertwined their fingers.

"The escape option has expired."

He leaned down and gently touched her cherry lips, stealing her first kiss. "How do you feel now? You should know where you're headed, right? Or do you think you can still escape from me?"

"...I won't run away." Akane's eyes suddenly felt a little hot, and she subconsciously touched her lips with her fingertips, as if she could feel an invisible seal on them.

I'm already taken!

The only regret is that the first kiss was a little too light; it ended before I could even react.

"...Could we do it one more time?"

Faced with this request, and seeing his senior's trembling eyelashes and expectant look as she obediently closed her eyes, Shun Aragaki naturally wouldn't disappoint the beauty's heart.

The next second, all Akane heard was the rustling of the fabric as the boy approached, and she felt his warm breath on her nose.

Then, her lips were covered.

This time it's not just a fleeting glance.

The gentle touch deepened, their breaths mingled, and even the passage of time seemed to stop at that moment.

Akane Tachibana's back pressed against the chair back, her fingertips unconsciously gripping the hem of the boy's shirt.

Her heartbeat seemed to leap out of her throat, but the boy's other hand firmly held her waist, pressing their bodies tightly together.

It's so nice to feel loved and pampered by him.

After a long while, Aragaki Shun slightly pulled away, but their noses were still touching.

Is that enough? If not, continue.

Tachibana opened her eyes, her pupils misty with tears, her lips a rosy red from the kiss, more delicious than strawberries.

She subconsciously licked her lips before realizing what she had done, and her face instantly turned ashen.

But faced with her beloved's teasing, the girl still instinctively muttered a reply.

"If you still want to..."

"Hehe~ I'm not so easily satisfied."

Shun Aragaki smiled nonchalantly. Akane Tachibana seemed to really enjoy the feeling of being needed by her lover and being embraced by him, so naturally he would do everything he could to satisfy the girl.

.........

After leaving the coffee shop, the two continued to explore other suitable dating spots on campus, and before they knew it, the sun had set.

His physical strength was still unfathomable, but for a girl like Tachibana Akane, walking to so many places from morning till night, no matter how excited she was, her body was indeed starting to feel the strain.

So the two of them simply sat on a bench by the street, letting the setting sun cast long shadows of each other.

The scent of unknown flowers wafted on the wind. Tachibana Akane nestled her head against Aragaki Shun's shoulder and suddenly began to talk about her past, "Actually... there was a time when I really admired the president. I was even sulking when you arranged for the president's sister to take my place."

"Hmm?" Shun Aragaki turned his head, looking at the somewhat nervous girl with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Why are you saying all this now?"

"It's about... the student council president single-handedly carrying the class forward, so everyone in the class aspires to be like her." She mustered her courage. "Would you mind?"

"What if I said yes?"

"Then I'll definitely cry!"

“Then I don’t mind,” Shun Aragaki said with a gentle smile under Akane Tachibana’s tender gaze, poking the girl’s cheek. “Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding. Only those who can’t catch the light dare to look up.”

He paused, his voice almost seductively gentle, "And I will not only respond to you, but I will also pull you into the light. So—"

He leaned down, his forehead touching hers, and said, "We are truly lovers when we are embracing each other."

That being said, given that Horikita Manabu is similar to Horikita Suzune in personality, would those two really consider romantic relationships during high school?

Of course, this kind of thing is actually insignificant.

If anyone is truly jealous, it's someone else who's jealous of Aragaki Shun.

When did it become the victor's turn to fuss over such absurd things?

269. Community of shared destiny +1; Horikita Manabu has embarrassed himself again.

Liking something is complex in some ways, and simple in others.

Shun Aragaki stated that he never suffers from mental exhaustion; the soft, delicate body in his arms is the key thing he needs to focus on right now.

So, taking advantage of Akane's emotional state, he took the increasingly docile girl back to his apartment.

As soon as the door closed, the senior student's petite body was pressed into the sofa.

Shun Aragaki's kiss moved from his hair to behind his ear, his voice unusually heavy: "Your hair clip is crooked."

The girl's fingertips trembled, yet she proactively hooked her arms around his neck, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible: "Junior... could you help me take it off?"

Isn't this process developing a little too fast?

Today was supposed to be their first date, their first kiss, and the day they exchanged feelings and officially became a couple... but in just one day, her junior dragged her to his room, where she was about to make her love blossom in front of him.

I've heard people say that Mingming should be a little more reserved in situations like this.
