Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

"Hu, hu, hu!"

Running in the quiet park, Kitahara Takashi's steps were as light as the wind, and his whole body was inexplicably excited.

As for why so excited.

Of course, he surpassed Nakano Yotsuba.

After two and a half months of hard training, Kitahara Takashi finally defeated Nakano Yotsuba once.

"Kitahara Takashi, you're amazing. With someone like you, there's nothing you can't do!"

I, Bei, can reach my current level thanks to my extraordinary talent and hard work!

Five minutes later, Kitahara Takashi ran back to his starting position.

In the pavilion, Nakano Ichika and Nakano Satsuki were sitting there waiting for him.

As for why Nakano Satsuki is here.

Ever since she offered free breakfast at Nakano Satsuki's place, she also became a member of the morning joggers.

She came for a morning run, bringing with her various exercises, with the sole purpose of asking Kitahara Takashi for a favor.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kitahara-kun."

Nakano Ichika smiled and handed a bottle of ramune to Kitahara Takashi.

Kitahara Takashi usually doesn't drink this kind of thing so early in the morning. But today, he's blown away Nakano Yotsuba, and Kitahara Takashi is happy.

He didn't care whether it was healthy or not, he took it and started drinking it with a "Ton ton ton!"

In a short while, he had finished the bottle of soda.

While he was drinking water, Yotsuba Nakano came running back.

Nakano Satsuki handed her a dry towel.

Nakano Yotsuba thanked her, then took the towel and wiped the sweat off her face, absent-mindedly thinking about other things.

Just yesterday, she met her childhood boy, Fuutarou Uesugi, in the school cafeteria.

Now, Fuutarou Uesugi no longer has yellow hair. Not only is his academic performance very good, he even studies hard while eating. He has become completely different from before.

Nakano Yotsuba didn't expect that she would meet Uesugi Fuutarou so soon.

No, it should be said that since she met Kitahara Takashi, the number of times she thought of Uesugi Fuutarou began to decrease.

So much so that when she ran into him in the school cafeteria yesterday, her first thought was to run away.

Yes, that's right, she escaped.

They had clearly agreed to work hard together to meet a better self.

Now Uesugi Fuutarou is working hard to fulfill their childhood promise, but after meeting Kitahara Takashi, she gradually forgets the promise she made with Uesugi Fuutarou.

This is equivalent to a long-distance relationship between a man and a woman who agreed to grow up together, but the girl fell in love with a boy from the same school during the long-distance relationship.

Although the two did not agree to be together, this act of betrayal made Yotsuba a little afraid to meet Fuutarou Uesugi.

"Kitahara-kun, can you explain this math problem to me?"

"Let me see, this is very simple. Let's make an assumption first. Suppose..."

"..."

Nakano Yotsuba looked at Kitahara Takashi who was discussing the topic with Nakano Satsuki, and felt a little conflicted, not knowing what to do.

"Yoto, what's wrong?"

Nakano Ichika noticed that something was wrong with Nakano Yotsuba's expression and asked with concern.

"Why do you seem to be worried?"

"How could that be~ Ichika, you must have seen it wrong. I just think that Kitahara-kun is really amazing. He surpassed me in such a short time."

Yotsuba laughed and drank some water strategically.

There was no way she would tell Nakano Ichika about what happened to her when she was a child with a boy.

Because it was Ichika Nakano who pretended to be herself and was with the young Fuutarou Uesugi.

From that day on, Yotsuba started to wear a ribbon on her head, in order to make herself look different from her other sisters so that others would not mistake her for herself.

"is it?"

Nakano Ichika didn't care and lowered her head to look at the script in her hand.

Finally, she picked out some clothes that she was satisfied with. When Gui Yanye looked at the time and saw that it was already half past nine, her heart skipped a beat.

She and Kitahara Takashi agreed to meet at Tokyo Tower at ten o'clock.

There's still half an hour left.

Gui Yanye quickly packed up, said to Gui Xin, "I'm going out!" and prepared to take a taxi to her destination.

It’s definitely too late to take the subway.

In fact, it’s too late even if you take a taxi now.

Being late is certain, but that's just the reason why Kitahara Takashi has to wait so long.

As soon as she opened the gate, Gui Yanye saw Kitahara Takashi.

The boy was wearing a black motorcycle-style jacket, holding a lollipop in his mouth, and was leaning lazily on the motorcycle.

The black motorcycle suit makes the boy's tall and straight figure look slender.

The growing silver hair looks dazzling in the sunlight.

The black diamond in the left ear seems to be able to cut through the light.

This was the first time that Katsura Kotonoha saw Kitahara Takashi wearing a motorcycle suit. She felt as if her heart was shot by Cupid's arrow and was deeply moved.

Perhaps hearing the sound of the door opening, Kitahara Tsutomu raised his eyelids and looked at her.

Today she wore a stand-up collar off-white sleeveless top and a plaid skirt. Her slender legs, wrapped in spotless black over-the-knee socks, looked cute and fresh overall.

Her hair was carefully combed, even her bangs were neatly arranged, and her lips were painted with colorless lip balm, making her lips look pink and tender. Kitahara Takashi really wanted to kiss her.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and hung in front of her chest like a scarf.

Kitahara Takashi complimented him profusely, saying, "You look very beautiful today."

"Thank you, thank you."

Katsura Yanye felt even sweeter in her heart when her careful dressing was recognized and she felt as happy as if she had eaten honey.

"Get in the car."

Kitahara Takashi threw a helmet to Katsura Kotonoha and greeted her.

Katsura Yanye hurriedly took the helmet, then hesitated: "Are we going to take this?"

Beiyuan Zun asked back: "Why else do you think I came here?"

After hesitating for a moment, Gui Yanye put on the helmet, stroked her skirt and sat on it.

"Where do I grab?"

It was Katsura Yanye's first time riding a motorcycle and she didn't know where to put her hands.

"hug me."

Gui Yanye was stunned, and once again fell into confusion, whispering: "Isn't this bad?"

"Come on, do you want to waste your whole day here?"

Katsura Yanye thought about it, stretched out her index and middle fingers, and gently pinched the corner of Kitahara Takashi's clothes.

When Kitahara Tsutomu looked down and saw this, he was speechless.

No, with your condition, you don’t even know how you got dumped.

But Kitahara Takashi wasn't going to say anything.

He started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and slammed on the brake.

The car suddenly stopped, and due to inertia, Katsura Yanye directly crashed into the back of Kitahara Takashi.

She subconsciously hugged Kitahara Tsutomu's hands tightly.

"Little guy, I can't deal with you."

Kitahara Tsutomu curled his lips into a smug smile, then stepped on the accelerator and the car shot out like lightning.

This time, Gui Yanye hugged her even tighter.

The speed of Kitahara Takashi's motorcycle is not actually very fast, but the performance of the motorcycle is there. It takes less than a quarter of an hour to reach Shiba Park 4-chome.

Tokyo Tower is located at 4-chome, Shiba Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Its official name is "Japan Radio Tower". It is one of Tokyo's landmark buildings. It was designed by Naito Takashi, nicknamed "Dr. Tower". He did nothing in his life but was busy building towers all over the island.

He designed all the top six towers in the island nation.

Tokyo Tower is about 1958 meters high. Before the Skytree was built, it was the tallest tower in the island country. It was completed in and is slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Standing at the foot of Tokyo Tower, Kitahara Takashi and Katsura Kotonoha looked up at the towering Tokyo Tower. Katsura Kotonoha couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful."

“It’s more beautiful at night.”

Kitahara Takashi once happened to see how beautiful the Tokyo Tower was when it was lit up at night.

The two of them admired the exterior view of Tokyo Tower for a while. Kitahara Takashi took out his money, used his student ID to buy discounted tickets, and then walked inside with Katsura Kotonoha.

Because today is the weekend, there are a lot of tourists under the tower. It is very crowded and you may accidentally brush shoulders or bump into others.

Katsura Yanye doesn't like crowds.

Because there are so many people around, she would be nervous if she accidentally bumped into a boy.

So far, the only boy she has no objection to contact is Kitahara Takashi.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Kitahara Takashi knew that Katsura Kotonoha was a little resistant to the opposite sex, and seeing that she was a little nervous, he took the initiative to hold her fingers together, telling her not to be afraid.

When Kitahara Takashi held her hand, Katsura Yanye's inner tension was relieved.

"Wait for the elevator or take the stairs?"

To go to the Tokyo Tower Observation Deck, you can choose to walk up the stairs outside the tower or wait for the elevator.

Katsura thought for a moment and said, "Take the stairs."

She didn't have much physical strength, but she wanted to stay with Kitahara Takashi for a while longer so she chose to take the stairs.

"Then crawl."

After the man came and made the agreement, he ran towards the stairs outside the tower.

The stairs were red, and Kitahara Takashi and Katsura Kotonoha held hands and began to climb up.

This was not too difficult for Kitahara Tsutomu. He had climbed Mount Huashan, and the Tokyo Tower, which was not even a mountain, was very easy for him to climb.

If he hadn't been concerned about Gui Yanye, he could have climbed up in one breath.

The two of them climbed and looked at the scenery.

As they got higher, the people, shops and cars below the tower became smaller and smaller in their eyes. Gradually, they were able to see into the distance. As their vision broadened, their minds naturally became broader.

The stairs outside the tower are quite long, more than 600 steps. After climbing to the end, Gui Yanye was exhausted and had to stop to rest.

Beiyuan Zun looked up and found that the distance to the last one was only 150 meters, not particularly far.

He looked at Gui Yanye, and finally picked her up in a princess hug.

"what!"

Kitahara Takashi suddenly took action, and Katsura Kotonoha was caught off guard. She was startled and screamed.

She reacted and started struggling: "Kitahara-kun, put me down, I'm very heavy."

"Lululu, I don't!"

Kitahara Tsutomu stuck out his tongue and continued to climb up with her in his arms.
