While the boys and girls in the class were eating their lunches in small groups, Kitahara Sosuke got up and walked outside.

There was no bento to eat today. Kaede was too busy with student council matters to leave, so Rin ran to deliver a bento to her older sister as soon as get out of class ended.

I had no choice but to go to the cafeteria.

"Kitahara-kun."

Just as I reached the door of the next classroom, Sifang Diezi quietly came out.

Kitahara Sosuke chuckled: "You're going to the cafeteria too?"

"No, it's to deliver a lunchbox to someone who's starving."

Yoko confidently waved the double bento box in her hand. This was something they had agreed upon when Kitahara Sousuke stayed at her house, essentially a "companionship fee"?

The girl's expression suddenly turned strange.

"It's been such a big help."

Kitahara Sosuke grasped the girl's hands in a slightly exaggerated manner. It's like someone bringing you a pillow when you're sleepy, or a bento box when you're hungry.

"Quickly, let go of me!"

Sifang Diezi blushed and took two steps back. They were still in the corridor. What was this guy trying to do? Luckily, no classmates saw them.

The two walked together toward the rooftop. Japanese high schools don't object to students dating, as long as they don't break school rules. However, there are still some boys and girls who don't want to make their relationships public, so the rooftop becomes a good place for them to eat together during lunch break.

Kitahara Sousuke and Yomo Choko found a secluded spot to sit down.

"This is the only bento box I have." Yomo Choko took the lunchbox out of the bag. "There won't be any more."

From now on, we can only make our bento boxes for our brother!

Kitahara Sosuke smiled and said, "One serving is already more than enough."

"Be content with what you have."

Yoko nodded, but a slight sense of loss welled up inside her. Her bento box should be very precious, so why didn't this guy care about it at all?

Rejecting someone and being rejected by someone are two different things.

"Are you unhappy?"

Kitahara Sousuke put a mouthful of rice into his mouth, then picked up a piece of broccoli and put it in his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound.

Sifang Diezi's skills could only be considered average, but for a noble lady who never lifted a finger, this was already an excellent achievement.

"Hmph, I'm very happy! I went to the movies with my brother on Monday, and after school, he's going to take me out to play!"

The four-sided butterfly proudly raised its head.

Speaking of Sato Kaoru, I wonder if the cold war that started after Monday has had an effect, because he's been messaging Yomo Choko much more frequently lately. Last night, Choko even made plans to go to the arcade with him today.

My brother's brain has suddenly opened up! It's true that boys need to be left out for a while to wake up. We've been too good to him before.

"Oh, congratulations then."

Kitahara Sousuke swallowed another mouthful of rice and nodded imperceptibly.

"Hmph, we are the Four Directions Butterfly."

The girl proudly puffed out her small chest, which immediately became very heaving.

Then, Yomo Choko glanced slyly at Kitahara Sōsuke beside her, trying to see a hint of disappointment or jealousy in his eyes.

However, the latter remained calm.

The lunch break passed quickly. Friday afternoon classes were the worst in terms of teaching quality because most people started talking about the weekend holiday from noon onwards.

The instructors were also listless, hastily repeating the key points from the textbook over and over again, and then letting everyone go as soon as the bell rang.

"Choko-chan, want to go home together?"

Nishimiya Shoko walked over with her notebook, held it high in front of Yomo Choko, and always had a faint smile on her face.

"Ah, sorry, Shoko, I made plans to go out with someone today, maybe next time."

Shifang Diezi apologized with her hands clasped together.

"Huh, Choko-chan went out to play alone, could it be... with her boyfriend?"

A short-haired girl came over from the side, squeezed between the two, and teased them with a grin.

"No, it's just an older brother I'm very close to from my hometown."

Sifang Diezi answered somewhat shyly.

"Ah, I know, it's Sato-senpai."

The short-haired girl clapped her hands lightly, then suddenly realized and winked at Nishimiya Shoko beside her: "It's my brother, my sweetheart brother."

"Amazing!"

Nishimiya Shoko blinked, quickly wrote in her notebook, and then held it up to show the two of them.

"We're not in that kind of relationship yet."

Sifang Diezi said with dissatisfaction, "It's all the prince's fault for being too slow, that's why I was teased like this."

"It's only a matter of time. Although Sato-senpai isn't my type, if Choko-chan is willing, then there's nothing I can do about it."

The short-haired girl covered her mouth and teased.

"Gu..."

Sifang Diezi puffed out her pink cheeks in dissatisfaction at her friend.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Butterfly."

"She looks angry."

Nishimiya Shoko then wrote.

"Hey, you two!"

Sifang Diezi stood up, raised her pink fist, and looked extremely fierce.

"Oh no! Run! Run!"

The short-haired girl grinned and pulled Nishimiya Shoko back two steps before running out of the classroom. The latter could only helplessly wave her notebook at Choko.

"Really..."

After getting rid of the two annoying people, most of the people in the classroom had already left. Shifang Diezi picked up a small mirror, tidied her hair, and glanced at her phone.

It's been almost half an hour since school let out, why isn't my brother here yet?

"Diezi-chan, see you on Monday."

See you Monday.

After the last student left the classroom, only Shifang Diezi remained, bored and slumped over her seat.

"That idiot brother of mine, is he going to stand us up again?"

Sifang Diezi muttered to herself in a low voice.

If you dare to do this again, then we'll just ignore you for three months.

No, three months seems too long. How about shortening it to one month? No, that won't work either. How about two weeks then? We need to teach the prince a lesson.

"I'm sorry, Choko, I'm late."

A weak male voice came from outside the door, which startled Sifang Diezi so much that she jumped up from her seat, throwing all her previous thoughts to the wind.

"Brother, you're so slow! Let's hurry up now."

Four-sided Butterfly complained, feigning dissatisfaction.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, something came up and I was delayed."

Sato Kaoru scratched his head awkwardly, looked at the girl's expectant face, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Brother, what's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind." Sifang Diezi looked at him with suspicion. "Come on, come on, let's have some fun today."

"Um, Choko... it seems like I can't go today..."

Chapter 142 I Prefer a Little More

Yoko lay listlessly on her desk, unable to remember when Sato Kaoru had left or what reason he had given her.

Anyway, it's usually something like being too busy with studies or unable to leave tutoring classes. I've heard that kind of excuse way too many times this year.

It's alright, there are still a few months left. Brother will definitely be able to get into Tokyo University, and then there will be more time.

But if that's the case, why did we travel all the way from Kyoto to attend high school here?

Sifang Diezi suddenly felt a little tired. Happiness requires two people to support and help each other. I should support my brother properly, but why do I feel... so disappointed?

"We don't care, we're going to Tokyo!"

"You will regret this."

Yoko recalled her last argument with her mother before leaving Kyoto. At the time, she had dismissed her mother's words as mere threats, but now they suddenly sounded so jarring.

We won't regret it. We'll stick to it and tell Mom we were right...

Yoko wiped her face and suddenly noticed that her fingers were a little damp.

"Hey, did we cry?"

Sifang Diezi frantically wiped her eyes, wanting to stop, but the tears kept flowing uncontrollably.

Luckily, I'm the only one left in the classroom right now...

"Yes, you cried."

Some annoying noises came over.

Sifang Diezi raised her head blankly and looked around. Tears blurred her vision, and she could only see a slender shadow sitting not far to her left.
