Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 63 Ji Yexue's Little Schemes

“Akizuki-kun always comes here during his lunch break.”

Ji Yexue chuckled, took out tea leaves, and sat down in the seat opposite Qiu Yuecheng with the tea set, beginning to boil water and brew tea.
Having studied tea ceremony, her posture when brewing tea is different from others, exuding a dignified and elegant feeling.

This is why she would take the initiative to brew tea for Akizuki Makoto, in order to showcase her charm in tea art and attract him.

She doesn't understand love, but she made a point of learning about it last night.

The conclusion is that you should showcase your best and most charming side to attract the other person and make them fall in love.

"You little devil, I'll charm you to death."

While brewing tea, Ji Yexue glanced at Qiu Yuecheng and secretly felt smug.

She was very confident in her charm. As long as she took the initiative, Qiuyue Cheng would fall for her within a month and love her to the point of no return.

Then, she wouldn't have to get rid of Qiu Yuecheng so quickly. She could take advantage of his feelings and play with him for a while, making him anxious and insecure, and constantly thinking about her.

"President, you're the same way. I always see you here whenever I come."

Akizuki Makoto revealed his usual gentle smile as he watched Ji Yexue hand him a steaming cup of black tea.

If he hadn't watched Ji Yexue brew the tea with his own eyes, he really wouldn't have dared to drink it, fearing she might have added some strange computer parts.

He lifted the cup by the handle, took a sip, and felt that it was not much different from the one he brewed himself.

"Ding ~"

Just then, the microwave oven placed in the corner rang with a crisp sound. Akizuki Makoto got up, took out the heated bento box, and sat down on the sofa with a carefree air.

He didn't rush to eat. Instead, he glanced at Ji Yexue, who was watching him with a gentle smile, and couldn't help but ask, "Um... President, have you eaten?"

It would be fine if Ji Yexue ate lunch with him, but it felt strange and uncomfortable to eat alone while she stared at him.

In particular, he had no idea what Ji Yexue was planning.

She was quite aloof before, and there was no communication other than daily greetings and necessary things. Why is she suddenly being so attentive to him?

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yexue thought for a moment and replied, "I've been dieting lately and haven't eaten lunch."

She learned this answer online; she heard that boys like girls who are self-disciplined and know how to control their diet and weight.

"Oh……"

Qiuyue Cheng nodded, not paying any attention, picked up the lunchbox and started eating.

Today's lunch was as plentiful as ever: braised chicken with mushrooms and hot and sour shredded potatoes.

Seeing him eating so heartily, Ji Yexue asked, "Qiuyue-kun, do you live alone? Did you make this bento yourself?"

"Um……"

Qiu Yuecheng nodded in affirmation, swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied, "I made it myself, so what?"

"This looks really good, it's a dish I've never seen before."

Ji Yexue smiled slightly, propped her chin on one hand, leaned forward, and asked softly, "Can I have a taste?"

"..."

Akizuki Makoto was suddenly rendered speechless.

He had reason to suspect that Ji Yexue had been possessed. The playful and cute Ji Yexue in front of him was definitely not the aloof president he knew!

"Can't you?"

Seeing that Akizuki Makoto remained silent, Ji Yexue tilted her head and pressed him for an answer, thinking to herself that Akizuki Makoto was quite possessive of his food, not even allowing her to have a taste. "...Okay."

Akizuki Makoto dared not say no, so he immediately put down the lunchbox, took out a tissue to wipe the chopsticks, and then handed it to Himeyasu.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yexue was immediately taken aback, realizing that something was amiss.

Shouldn't Akizuki Makoto pick up a piece and feed it to her himself, and then she would eat it in one bite, creating a little play of feeding and indirect kissing that would make his heart race?

Why did he wipe the chopsticks clean and hand them to her? What was she supposed to do?
Akizuki Makoto didn't expect Ji Yexue to have so many ulterior motives. He simply thought that doing it this way would be better. Little did he know that she wanted to create ambiguity.

If he had known, he would have done as Ji Yexue instructed.

He's a man who's been through a lot, how could he possibly be shaken by an indirect kiss? That's the kind of innocent reaction you only see in young boys in Japanese anime.

"Akizuki-kun, you don't need to be so polite. Just give me some to eat."

Helpless, Ji Yexue had no choice but to take the initiative again. She tucked a strand of hair that had fallen across her cheek behind her ear, leaned forward, and moved closer to Qiu Yuecheng.

"Ah this..."

After a slight hesitation, Akizuki Makoto finally picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of chicken wing, and fed it to Ji Yexue's lips, playing a feeding game with her.

Although I don't know why Ji Yexue did this, she must have her own reasons, so I'll just go along with her for now.

Maybe if I can make her happy, she'll show him mercy next time I sneak up on her.

"Awoo..."

Like a cat, Ji Yexue snatched the chicken wing from her chopsticks, sat back down on the sofa, and ate it slowly and carefully.

Then, she gave what she thought was a perfect smile and said softly, "It tastes very good. Akizuki-kun is not only good at studying and intelligent, but also very skilled in cooking."

"Not at all, you flatter me..."

Qiuyue chuckled awkwardly, inwardly thinking, "President, your persona has crumbled!"

Ji Yexue didn't even realize that her sudden change in attitude was strange.

Just two days ago she had a cold face and exuded a sense of distance from everyone, but now she's acting like a friendly older sister next door, playing a feeding game with him.

After that, Ji Yexue behaved much better and didn't let him feed her anymore.

Akizuki Makoto quickly finished his lunch, not caring about his appearance at all.

Being stared at so intently by Ji Yexue made him feel strange, so he ate much faster than usual.

"That's strange, why does he seem unresponsive?"

Ji Yexue frowned slightly as she watched Qiuyue Cheng pack up the lunchboxes.

In her mind, even if Akizuki Makoto didn't blush or feel his heart race, he would stare at the chopsticks for a second or two before pretending to be nonchalant.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Ji Yexue felt relieved.

Makoto Akizuki seems to be quite good at dealing with women, and he's very popular with the opposite sex. After all, he has a handsome face and is outstanding in many ways.

So, it must be that his threshold is too high; this little bit of fun isn't enough to arouse him.

"Yes, this is more interesting..."

Ji Yexue chuckled to herself, suddenly finding the process of figuring out how to win over Qiuyue Cheng and make him completely fall for her quite interesting.

She wanted to see just how a heartbreaker like Akizuki Makoto could make someone blush and have their heart race.

In his ghost form, Akizuki Makoto cannot see her face, so he only reacts to close contact.

She was confident that, if Akizuki Makoto could see her, he would be embarrassed and look away, his heart pounding, if he made eye contact with her for a few seconds at close range!
