Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 110 It's that time of year again... the season of the White Album.
After returning to their apartment in Hakusan 1-chome, Bunkyo Ward, Himeyasu also got out of the car and walked beside Akizuki Makoto, seemingly intending to go upstairs with them.

Seeing this, Qiuyue Cheng asked with a heart full of doubt, "Aren't you going back?"

Although it's not too late yet, close to nine o'clock, it's clearly not the time to visit someone else's house.

"Never mind, I have something to tell you later."

Ji Yexue crossed her arms and looked up at the light shining from the window on the right side of the sixth floor, feeling very unhappy.

The thought that the philandering cat dared to move next door to Akizuki Makoto made her feel like there was a thorn in her heart, causing her immense discomfort.

"Can't you say it now?"

Akizuki Makoto noticed Ji Yexue's gaze and realized that if he let her go up, it would definitely not be a good thing.

"No, we have to go up and say it."

Ji Yexue withdrew her gaze, glanced at Qiu Yuecheng, and snorted coldly, "Or... you won't even let me go up?"

"Nothing."

Akizuki touched his nose, but still didn't say that he was worried she would cause trouble if she went up there; after all, it was just his guess.

Although his guesses were usually quite accurate, Ji Yexue's intentions were all too obvious.

"Don't worry, I won't go looking for her, and you don't need to be so wary."

Ji Yexue saw Qiu Yuecheng's concerns and felt even more displeased. Her possessiveness made her feel extremely bad, and her tone and expression became harsh.

"...I wasn't on guard, you're overthinking it."

Akizuki glanced away, took Fuyuko's hand, and stepped into the apartment.

Ji Yexue silently followed behind him, and they took the elevator to the sixth floor.

Even if Akizuki Makoto didn't agree to let her go up, it wouldn't matter; it was her personal freedom.

Just as Shiina Maki wanted to live next door to Akizuki Makoto, Himeya Yuki was also helpless in this regard.

The die is cast; since Shiina Maki has already moved in, there's nothing she can do to interfere.

Makoto Akizuki is like a protector of flowers. If she were to ask someone to instruct the landlord to kick out Maki Shiina, Makoto Akizuki would be the first to object.

Ji Yexue wasn't stupid enough to do something so foolish out of jealousy, nor was her personality that bad.

"Dongzi, you go in first. Your sister has something to say to your brother."

As they arrived at Akizuki Makoto's house, Himeyasu smiled and patted Touko's head, saying, "Next time, if you want to eat cake again, you're welcome to come find your older sister anytime."

"Okay, okay..."

Dongzi nodded her little head gently, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and hugged Ji Yexue, whispering, "Goodnight, sister."

"Good night."

Ji Yexue's smile grew even brighter, clearly indicating that she was in a great mood.

After watching Fuyuko walk into the entrance hall, Akizuki asked suspiciously, "Now you can tell me, right? What is it that you're keeping so secret?"

"I asked my mother to help you today, aren't you going to thank me?"

Ji Yexue raised an eyebrow and, as she spoke, moved closer to Qiu Yuecheng and placed her hand on his shoulder.

Akizuki Makoto subconsciously took a step back, but there was a wall behind him, so he immediately felt a sense of obstruction and found himself in a situation where he had nowhere to retreat.

The posture and scene felt strangely familiar to him; it seemed that Ji Yexue had kissed him forcefully at his doorstep a few days ago in the same posture.

Even the position he's leaning against now is almost identical to the one where he was forcibly kissed.

"What kind of thanks do you want?"

Qiu Yuecheng frowned slightly, feeling a sense of unease about the unknown. He had a feeling that Ji Yexue was up to something bad again.

His wary yet slightly uneasy expression made Ji Yexue laugh, finding him quite adorable.

So she stood on tiptoe.

Qiu Yuecheng instinctively covered his mouth with his hand, but the expected touch did not come. Ji Yexue simply leaned close to his ear and teased, "Don't be nervous, I'm not going to eat you."

"What exactly do you want?!"

Akizuki Makoto gritted his teeth and growled, feeling embarrassed.

After all, his gesture of covering his mouth with his hand was really ridiculous, giving off a feeling of excessive self-consciousness.

Fortunately, it was just the two of them there. Apart from Ji Yexue, no one saw his comical actions, otherwise he would have been annoyed for a long time.

"How about you free up your time this weekend for me?"

Ji Yexue placed her hands on Qiu Yuecheng's shoulders, still standing on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear with her soft, glossy lips.

The warm breath, like a feather, brushed against Akizuki Makoto's earlobe, making him feel unbearably itchy and restless.

Despite the tingling sensation, Akizuki Makoto said in a slightly trembling voice, "...Tell me what you want to do first, and then I'll answer you, okay?"

He dared not agree until he was certain of Ji Yexue's intentions.

"Nothing much, I just suddenly became interested in dating and hope you can come with me."

"Dating?"

Qiu Yuecheng was taken aback, not expecting that Ji Yexue wanted him to make time on the weekend for this matter.

"How about it?"

"This……"

"If you're a man, stop dawdling. Or are you saying you can't even do something this simple?"

"...Okay, I promise you."

After a moment of silence, Akizuki Makoto nodded in agreement. He had nothing to do on the weekend anyway, and besides, a date is just about going out and having fun, so he had nothing to worry about.

"Then it's a date. If you dare to break your promise... hehe."

In the end, Ji Yexue gave a cold laugh; the consequences of breaking her promise were self-evident.

It seems that Akizuki Makoto will have to keep his promise on the day of the date, no matter what, even if there's a typhoon or torrential rain. "I never break my promises easily, so you can rest assured about that."

"It really is reliable..."

Ji Yexue spoke softly, moving her face away from Qiu Yuecheng's ear and looking up at him, their eyes meeting.

At this moment, their posture was ambiguous, their faces were so close that they could feel each other's hot breath on their faces.

"Now that you've finished talking, let's go through them one by one, hmm?!"

Akizuki Makoto turned his head away, feeling somewhat lost. He was about to ask Ji Yexue to keep her distance and not get so close when a soft touch suddenly came to his lips, silencing him before he could finish speaking!
He stared wide-eyed, incredulous that he had been forcibly kissed yet again!

After a brief moment of shock, Akizuki Makoto instinctively tried to push Himeyasu away.

But Ji Yexue had already wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tightly, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

"..."

While the two were kissing, no one noticed that the door to the next room had quietly opened a crack.

Hidden in that crack were a pair of eyes, peering at what was happening outside the door.

Although it wasn't very clear, you could vaguely see two people passionately kissing, a few meters apart.

Shiina Maki bit her lip, her eyes slowly losing their luster and becoming dull and lifeless, her heart filled with bitterness and indescribable sorrow.

She had been waiting at the door for a long time, waiting for Akizuki Makoto's return.

A few minutes ago, she heard a noise outside the door. She originally wanted to push the door open immediately to create a "chance encounter" and welcome Akizuki Makoto, but after vaguely hearing Ji Yexue's voice, she gave up the idea.

Then, she pushed the door open a crack, barely noticeable, eavesdropping on the conversation outside while spying.

She saw Dongzi hugging Ji Yexue and saying goodbye to her. She also saw Ji Yexue leaning on Qiuyue Cheng and extending a date invitation. Finally, they embraced like lovers.

At that moment, she was overwhelmed by immense grief, as if all her strength had been drained away. She collapsed helplessly to the ground, her heart filled with despair.

Although she could tell that Ji Yexue had forcibly kissed Qiuyue Cheng, and that it was not voluntary.

But before that, Akizuki Makoto had never minded Ji Yexue snuggling close to him and whispering intimately in his ear.

This is enough to show that Akizuki Makoto does not dislike physical contact with Hime Yuki, and is even not averse to having intimate contact with her!

"The dream... came true."

Shiina Maki whispered to herself, feeling lost and distraught, as tears welled up uncontrollably.

For the past few days, she has been having the same dream: Akizuki Makoto is taken away by another girl, leaving her all alone.

She had also dreamed of a scene like this, where they kissed at her doorstep, and the person she kissed was none other than Ji Yexue!

When the scenes from her dreams played out in reality, Maki Shiina could no longer tell herself that the content of dreams was always the opposite of reality.

Then, she couldn't help but feel afraid of what would happen next in the dream.

If Qiuyue Cheng is really taken away by Ji Yexue, will she still have a place to stay?
Given Ji Yexue's personality, she would definitely try to kill her completely, leaving her with nowhere to stand.

As for Akizuki Makoto, given the choice between the two, he will not hesitate to abandon her and choose Ji Yexue, leaving her and disappearing completely from her sight.

"No...no..."

Shiina Maki screamed in her heart. The thought of such a future made her heart ache, and she felt an indescribable pain and depression.

But no matter how much she prayed, the cruel reality remained unchanged.

……

I don’t know how long it took.

Ji Yexue finally released Qiu Yuecheng, and a thin silver thread was pulled out from between their lips, exposed to the air, and fell rapidly.

"what……"

Ji Yexue took a deep breath, her eyes glazed over with a look of adoration.

The surge of hormones from the kiss made her feel dizzy and her cheeks flushed.

"Haven't you learned your lesson from last time?!"

Akizuki Makoto gritted his teeth and growled, his face turning red and radiating heat.

However, unlike Ji Yexue's blush, his face was flushed.

"Don't be so fierce. Wasn't a farewell kiss wonderful? Hehe~"

Ji Yexue smiled, blinked her left eye, and winked, exuding charm and allure.

Goodnight, Makoto, see you tomorrow.

Before Akizuki Makoto could say anything, she tossed her black hair, which was draped over her shoulders, and blew her a kiss, saying goodnight.

Finally, she walked towards the elevator without looking back, ignoring Akizuki Makoto gritting his teeth behind her.

After entering the elevator, she turned around to face Akizuki Makoto, but her gaze went past him to the door behind him that was slightly ajar.

"You like watching a cat that steals fish?"

Ji Yexue's smile suddenly carried a hint of smugness, her heart filled with a thoroughly enjoyable feeling.

She had noticed the door next door was ajar, which is why she deliberately moved closer to Akizuki Makoto to create an ambiguous atmosphere, then deliberately suggested a date, and finally forcibly kissed Akizuki Makoto.

Even if it angers Akizuki Makoto and he punishes her, she will still do it.

If she doesn't assert her dominance over the philandering cat soon, the cat will likely become increasingly brazen.

"Sincerity can only be mine. There's nothing I can't have that I want..."

Before the elevator doors closed, Ji Yexue kept her eyes fixed on the door behind Qiu Yuecheng, and the smile on her face grew even stronger.

All the pent-up frustration from the day was released the moment the kiss was successfully completed.

She'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight, but some people will probably be crying and having trouble sleeping.

I stayed up all night watching the game yesterday, so I'm posting this chapter now. There will be another update this afternoon!
