Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

And at this time.

Kamidai Bai Feng said:

"I'll go get some drinks and snacks first. You can get your textbooks out yourself."

talking.

Bai Feng then left the room.

After obediently taking out her textbook, Maejima Rika finally couldn't contain herself and jumped onto Bai Feng's big bed, rolling around happily.

And at this time.

Rika Maejima suddenly felt her phone vibrate. She opened it and saw that it was a message from Hina Watanabe.

[Hina Watanabe: Rika, have you and Shiro Kaede returned home yet?]

[Rika Maejima: (#^.^#) Yes, what's wrong?]

[Hina Watanabe: It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that Bai Feng and I actually got to know each other yesterday.]

When Maejima Rika saw this news, it was like a bolt from the blue; she was stunned for a moment.

When she realized what had happened, she was filled with shame and indignation, and immediately sent a message to Watanabe Hina.

[Rika Maejima: What's going on? Didn't Bai Feng say yesterday that nothing happened between you? And why are you telling me this?]

[Hina Watanabe: I'll get back to you about that later. Right now, I want to ask you, don't you think that if things continue like this, Bai Feng will definitely have a very tough time during finals, having to choose one of the four of us? And if you're not chosen, won't you be upset?]

[Rika Maejima: I know. But there's nothing I can do. I can only try my best to win over Shirafumi and make him choose me during finals.]

[Hina Watanabe: Actually, besides this method, there is another method.]

[Rika Maejima: (⊙_⊙) What method?]

[Hina Watanabe: I'll tell you later.]

[Rika Maejima: Don't just tell me half the story!]

[Rika Maejima: Hina-senpai, where are you?]

Rika Maejima was both confused and somewhat annoyed.

Why is she the only one without it? Could it be that Bai Feng really doesn't like her?

Otherwise, how could that be?

Thinking about this made Maejima Rika feel very sad.

And right now.

Just then, Shiro Kaede walked in carrying drinks and snacks.

As soon as I entered, I noticed that Rika Maejima was lying on her bed, secretly sobbing.

Shiro Shiro was stunned for a moment. Before he could even complain about why Rika was lying on his bed, he quickly put down what he was holding, walked to the bedside, picked Rika up, and hugged her to his chest, asking:

"Pear Blossom, why are you suddenly crying?"

"what happened?"

Maejima Rika reached out and patted Bai Feng's chest, choking back tears as she said:

"Have you already done 'that' with Hina-senpai?"

A light sheen of cold sweat glistened on Shirofumi's forehead.

"No"

Rika Maejima grew increasingly angry as she listened, and cried out:

"Where is it not? You're lying to me!"

Kamishiro Bai Feng coughed and said:

"I'm not lying to you."

"How did I lie to you?"

Maeshima Rika cried:

"You're lying to me. I already know what you and Hina-senpai did at home yesterday."

Shiro Shiro was astonished, having no idea how Rika knew.

Rika Maejima buried her face in Shirokaze's chest, choking back tears:

"That's so unfair, Bai Feng! You're really going too far! Why can Mirai, President Hojo, and even Hina-senpai all be included, but why can't I?"

"Bai Feng, do you hate me that much?"

Kamishiro Shirofumi's expression was somewhat bitter as he denied it:

"How could I possibly hate you? Besides, I didn't expect things to turn out that way yesterday."

Rika Maejima wiped away her tears, but they continued to fall. She could only continue sobbing as she spoke:

"Then why won't you take the next step with me?"

Don't you know how much I like you?

"Could it be that you're planning to exclude me first during final exams, which is why you haven't made a move against me all this time?"

"Waaaaah~ That's so mean! Bai Feng, you're so mean!"

Shiro Kaede's expression remained bitter, but after taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but explain with genuine emotion:

That's not true at all.

"I never thought of it that way."

"Pear Blossom, you are truly special in my heart, the kind that is one of a kind."

"It is precisely because you are so special that I have always cherished you and that's why I haven't done those things to you."

"Because if I really did that to you, I wouldn't know how to face you or my future partners when I'm in the finals of the semester."

"After all, before we made a move against Hina, whether it was out of our own initiative or out of necessity, Kirisa and Mirai had already done those things with me."

"If I were to do those things to you and Hina without considering anything else, then I would truly be a complete scumbag."

"So please don't say I don't like you anymore. If you're unhappy, I'll be sad too."

Maejima Rika remained stunned for a long time; it was the first time she had ever heard Bai Feng say that he was special.

She could also sense from Bai Feng's words that he did indeed have a special feeling for her that was different from his feelings for other girls.

Rika Maejima wiped away her tears again, pursed her lips, and looked intently at Bai Feng:

"I don't care what happens in the future."

"Anyway, I like you, so I'm willing to do those things with you!"

"Besides, you're now dating four of us girls. Do you think we wouldn't know if you're a jerk or not!"

"As for what happens in the future, we'll talk about that later!"

"Although I don't know why Hina-senpai and you ended up like that."

"But now that you've already made a move against those three, I absolutely cannot allow myself to be excluded, and I absolutely cannot allow you to refuse!"

As she spoke, Maejima Rika pressed Bai Feng down and kissed him.

Upon hearing Rika's resolute words, and recalling that he had indeed attacked Hina, coupled with his good friend's disobedience, Shiro Shiro felt that even if he truly didn't want to, he had no reason to refuse Rika anymore.

after a while.

Shiro Shiro covered his slightly flushed face and sat alone in his room, feeling that he was becoming more and more of a jerk.

Just then, Pear Blossom returned from the bathroom.

She had just returned and walked over happily, putting her arm around Bai Feng's shoulder.

She didn't say anything, just silently hugged Bai Feng.

Even though today is just like this, Pear Blossom is already very satisfied.

After all, at most, they'll end up like Bai Feng in the future.

As for going any further, I doubt any of the four of them would do that.

In this way, everyone is finally on the same starting line.

Seeing Rika Maejima grinning foolishly beside him, Shirakawa suddenly realized that Rika was actually a really good girlfriend.

He really liked the cheerful girl who loved him very much.

Shiro Kaede pinched her cheek and said:

"It's time to get down to business. I heard your grades have slipped recently, haven't they? Go study now."

Rika Maejima smiled and nodded, saying:

"Ah."

The two sat at the table.

Shiro Kaede patiently taught Rika some key points about learning.

At first, Pear Blossom studied very diligently.

But as she studied, her eyes became alluring, and she secretly glanced at Bai Feng.

Kamishiro Shirofumi could certainly feel her gaze, but he could only pretend not to see it.

Now is the time to study. Focus on your studies and don't let anything else distract you.

So he patiently gave him instructions:

"Stop daydreaming and get back to studying!"

Rika Maejima pouted and muttered unhappily:

"Oh"

But after a while, Maejima Rika couldn't help but mutter to herself:
