Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

Suzuki Tetsu fed her a bite, and finding her licking her lips rather cute, he took out his phone and snapped a few photos.

"Why are you taking pictures of me!" Honami Ichinose quickly tried to cover her pretty face. She hadn't put on any special makeup today; for her, makeup was a bit difficult.

"I'm so happy to have dated you today. I hope we can continue to date in the future. Until then, let me cherish these precious memories."

Suzuki Tetsu didn't think there was anything wrong with it; taking pictures of his girlfriend was perfectly normal.

"You should at least have told me beforehand," Ichinose Honami said softly. Then she picked up her phone and took a few pictures of Suzuki Toru. "So this is what a date is like?"

"Are you happy?" Suzuki Toru asked.

"It's a bit serious, a bit novel," Honami Ichinose said honestly. "It feels a bit unbelievable that I would have a boyfriend."

Before Suzuki Tetsu could speak, she pursed her lips and smiled gently: "However, I understand Tetsu's feelings. You want to give me a normal relationship, right?"

Sometimes, Toru Suzuki suspected that they also possessed "emotional perception," or rather, a super-sensory radar, which could always quickly see through his intentions.

“Actually, your judgment of me is not wrong. I am a very twisted person, and it is not wrong for you to want to correct my thinking. However, I am very clear about my true nature.” Suzuki Tetsu said quietly, “I don’t feel that what I did to you back then was wrong in the slightest.”

Honami Ichinose looked at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Why does Tetsu always say such flippant things?"

"Did something make you unhappy?" Suzuki Toru asked.

“I know my boyfriend’s personality very well, so I don’t care about these things, and I don’t hate doing bad things…” Ichinose Honami blushed slightly, but her voice became firm, “Your true nature is not annoying at all. On the contrary, as long as people know your true nature, no one will hate you.”

"No, actually I've been hiding a lot from you." Suzuki Toru's feelings became complicated.

"Did you cheat on me?" Honami Ichinose asked calmly.

Suzuki Toru was almost startled, but then he realized that she had been keeping her head in check and was aware of his every move.

"In a sense, it was indeed an affair."

After saying that, he looked at the silent girl. Unlike Kikyo Kushida or Arisu Sakayanagi, she was very likely to really care about this kind of thing.

Chapter 342 The Real Wife and the Mistress

Honami Ichinose has a strong sense of morality, and the fact that she is so concerned about the theft she committed in junior high school, to the point that she can't forget it, proves this point.

That's why she made the decision to correct Suzuki Tetsu at the time, instead of compromising or rebelling, even though now it seems that she was completely clueless about love, or even naive and ignorant.

However, Suzuki Toru knew very well that she was the least likely girl to accept a harem.

"Who is the person you're having an affair with?" Ichinose Honami asked, as expected.

Although he didn't know if others would remain calm in the face of such a problem, Suzuki Toru wasn't particularly flustered. Instead, he said, "I've been thinking about something these past few days: possessiveness is an expression of love, but love isn't necessarily possessiveness. I know our feelings can't yet be described as liking..."

“No, it’s love.” Honami Ichinose interrupted him. “Because it’s love, that’s why I said I would change your flirtatious nature and your bad habit of resorting to despicable means at the drop of a hat.”

Suzuki Toru was stunned for a moment, his expression strange. Was this a confession?

"I already know about your affair with Ma Zi Jiang."

Did she say something to you?

"Mako-chan is troubled. She doesn't know if she likes you, and she doesn't know if she should continue to like that senior."

"Sorry, I know nothing about relationships."

"Whenever Tetsu lies, his eyes will always be looking straight ahead, and his face will be completely expressionless."

"..."

Suzuki Tetsu subconsciously touched his face. Was his flaw really that obvious?

“However, I know that Tetsuya is also troubled right now.” Honami Ichinose forced a smile. “It is indeed too much to force a carnivore to eat vegetables. The more you try to tolerate it, the more likely you are to get entangled with him.”

"I feel a little bad about letting your first love turn out like this." Suzuki Tetsu didn't apologize, nor did he say he wanted to break up, because it was impossible for the two of them to break up now, and he wouldn't give up on Ichinose Honami.

Honami Ichinose shook her head: "I never thought I would have a boyfriend. I thought I would spend my high school years alone. Chihiro once asked me what my standards were for a boyfriend. I thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with anything. My mind was blank."

"They should know something by now." Suzuki Tetsu had no intention of hiding it any longer; to do so would be irresponsible towards Ichinose Honami.

"Including your affair partner?" Ichinose Honami said quietly. "I don't think it's Sakayanagi-san. Although she seems close to you, she doesn't seem like she'd be willing to be subservient to anyone. Kamuro-san, Kushida-san, Asahina-senpai..."

"Why is Asahina-senpai's name on it?" Suzuki Toru was a little unsettled.

"Because the way she looks at you is weird," Honami Ichinose added. "Plus, with Tachibana-senpai involved, she probably doesn't even realize her relationship with you."

"Senpai Tachibana probably likes to tease me," Suzuki Tetsu added, offering a reasonable guess.

“Girls don’t provoke someone for no reason.” Honami Ichinose counted on her fingers. “When you think about it, my boyfriend is really amazing, he can attract so many girls.”

Actually, there might be a little more, but Suzuki Toru didn't say it aloud.

Are you very angry?

Is there anything wrong with being angry?

"Because even if I'm angry, I won't break up with Fanbo, so I can only ask you to continue being angry."

"How domineering." Ichinose Honami leaned forward slightly, looking directly into Suzuki Toru's eyes. "But, you already have me, why do you still do this?"

"Should I make a choice?" Suzuki Tetsu thought for a moment. "I want to know you better, I want to know your joys and sorrows, I want to be with you. I wouldn't be happy to give up any of you."

"Judging from that statement, you are a complete scumbag and a narcissist." Ichinose Honami didn't know how to react. She had already known this would be the outcome, and she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. "However, I have nothing to be angry about. It's just that I didn't have time to do anything."

She was already at a loss regarding the issue of Asako Amakura. Should she give up Toru Suzuki and let Asako Amakura take over?

Or should we continue to discourage Netkuma Mako from having any ideas?

“If you like, I can put it in too.” Suzuki Toru pointed to her table. “The ice cream is melting, it’ll be a waste if we don’t eat it soon.”

"Don't say that. Our relationship is already off. It can't be like a normal romance." Honami Ichinose lowered her voice. "Besides, I've gotten used to you doing bad things."

Actually, every guy does bad things to his girlfriend. Suzuki Toru took a bite of ice cream, the cool and sweet feeling melting on his tongue.

"By the way, have you run into anything lately?"

Honami Ichinose looked a little awkward and feigned confusion: "It's nothing, why do you ask?"

“When you lie, your expression looks particularly unnatural,” Toru Suzuki said. “And your fingers are always drawing circles on the table.”

Honami Ichinose subconsciously looked at her fingers. Was she drawing circles?

It wasn't until she saw the scoop in her hand that she belatedly realized she had been tricked by Suzuki Tetsuya.

"Speak, what is it?" Suzuki Tetsu was a little annoyed. At first, he thought she was concerned about the threat she had made earlier, but that wasn't the case. She had just brought up the topic of infidelity again, but that wasn't the case either.

To be honest, he couldn't quite understand what Ichinose Honami was worried about.

[Ichinose Honami: Worry, pain, self-blame, fear, contradiction.]

[It is recommended to reassure the target promptly to boost their confidence and morale.]

Honami Ichinose was unaware that her emotions were being exposed to Toru Suzuki. She shook her head and said softly, "There's just a little trouble in the class, Toru, don't worry about me."

"Is it about Netkura?" Suzuki Tetsu asked.

Honami Ichinose glared at him. He was bringing this up again, and she didn't know what to do anymore.

"What does Che think of Mako-chan?" Since the topic had come up, she decided to ask directly.

"She's very cute, I have a good impression of her." Suzuki Toru recalled what Amakura Asako had said to him. Although it sounded a bit narcissistic, it showed that she was a very sensible girl.

Honami Ichinose suddenly felt like she was the one who was superfluous, and she became increasingly agitated. Perhaps she really shouldn't have gotten involved.

But isn't this exactly what Sakayanagi Arisu wanted?

……

As they left the restaurant, both of them had their own thoughts. Suzuki Toru looked at the girl next to him, but still couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

"Where to go next?" Honami Ichinose looked at the mall's floors. Above was the leisure and entertainment area, and below was the department store. The exit was downstairs.

"The weather is getting colder, I should buy some clothes for the changing season." Suzuki Toru was wearing short sleeves and could already feel a bit chilly.

“Great!” Ichinose Honami suddenly became interested. She realized she hadn’t bought Suzuki Toru a gift yet, so this was a good opportunity.

As the two were about to descend the stairs, they ran into Karuizawa Kei, who was chatting and laughing with several girls who were with her.

In an instant, Toru Suzuki made a decision.

"Fanbo, how about we..."

"Yah!"

As expected, Karuizawa Kei quickly spotted them and greeted them with a big smile.

"What a surprise, I actually ran into Suzuki-kun and Ichinose-san here."

The girl waved her hand, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. It was the weekend, and she was dressed casually as well. She wore a light-colored vest and long sleeves, with a white shirt tied around her waist. Her skirt revealed a pair of smooth, white thighs with slightly red knees. White slouch socks sat on her small leather shoes, making her stand out.

Next to her were several girls from Class D, all dressed in casual clothes, probably out together.

"Good afternoon, Karuizawa-san, Matsushita-san, Mori-san..." Ichinose Honami suppressed her inner panic and put on a smile. "Are you all going out together too?"

"Yeah, I heard there's a shop with a really delicious new product." Karuizawa Megumi smiled and looked at the two of them. Luckily, they hadn't held hands because of their previous conversation, otherwise it would have been awkward enough. "But, it's strange, where are Ayakura-san and the others?"

Instead of directly asking Honami Ichinose why she was with Toru Suzuki, she went around in circles.

If Ichinose Honami went out alone without telling Amakura Asako and the others, then her relationship with Suzuki Toru needs to be re-examined.

"I think they're still in their dorms." Honami Ichinose smiled slightly. "It's the weekend, so they probably want to rest for a while, since they have exams coming up."

Toru Suzuki added, "There's a small matter at the student council, so Ichinose and I wanted to discuss it today."

Karuizawa Kei suddenly realized and smiled naturally: "So that's how it is. No wonder you two were together. I thought you were dating."

Although Suzuki Toru was mentally prepared, she still found it a bit amusing that Suzuki launched such a decisive attack, and she was practically overflowing with jealousy.

"Ya Bai, that's what I thought too, it really startled me."

"However, Suzuki-kun and Ichinose-kun seem to be a good match."

"It's such a shame we're not dating."

Hearing the voices beside her, Karuizawa Kei narrowed her eyes. So they weren't planning to announce their relationship yet?

Thinking about it carefully, the special exams are about to start, and if I suddenly announce that I am in a relationship, it will inevitably cause some shock.

So, are you planning to let everyone get used to it gradually?

Karuizawa Kei felt a sense of crisis. Suzuki Toru and Ichinose Honami were making such a rapid progress, but what about herself?

"Haha, I was startled too." Ichinose Honami also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know how to face Ayakura Asako, so she wanted to stall for time.
