I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Isn't it obvious? The reward for completing all the 'trials' is here for you now."

With her fair arms braced against the gear shift lever, Yukinoshita turned her upper body to the side, her mature and alluring face quickly drawing closer to him.

"Wait--"

Tenkuji Yu reflexively leaned back tactically, a strand of fragrant hair brushing against her nose, bringing her so close she could feel the warmth of her breath.

—Holy crap, this guy isn't just kidding, he's serious!

"Calm down, we're in the car!"

"Hehe, isn't that even more exciting?"

"You idiot! Didn't you read the rules? Rented lovers aren't allowed to have overly intimate physical contact!"

"So what? I gave up my first kiss in exchange, so it won't hurt to make an exception for me, will it?"

"That's ridiculous! And since it was your first kiss, you should..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yukinoshita Haruno pressed down on his shoulder and planted a lip print on his cheek.

Before Tenkuji Yuu could fully savor the moistness and softness of her lips, she leaned back slightly, whispered in his ear with a soft laugh:

"Great hero... no, you little pervert, this is your reward."

Yuu Tenkuji: "..."

As the red light ended, Yukino Yukino sat back down, adjusted the seatbelt that was slightly askew around her chest, lifted the handbrake, shifted gears, and the car sped through the green light like an AE86 going uphill.

Recovering from her daze, Yuu Tenkuji's cheek twitched slightly as she glanced at the female driver who was focused on driving.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but a faint blush appeared on that fair and delicate face.

In the end, all they could do was sigh helplessly.

"I should have known better than to bring this up."

Taking out tissues from her bag and using her phone's selfie mode as a mirror, Yuu Tenkuji grumbled as she wiped the lipstick stain off her face.

"Qiong, your brother isn't pure anymore..."

With a chuckle, the car swerved left and right as if it had been laughed at.

Tenkuji Yu's expression changed drastically, and he gripped the car door tightly with both hands.

"Please, drive carefully! Otherwise, let me out and I'll call a taxi to go back!"

Yukinoshita Haruno laughed very happily.

"Hahaha, who told you to deliberately make me laugh~"

The rich sunset under the vast sky seemed to dye the road into a golden ocean, with dark blue cars driving on it, riding the waves in the sunset.

When it quiets down, it becomes a picturesque scene.

Unfortunately, a young woman beside him burst into a loud laugh that was almost as noisy as the engine, completely destroying the peace and beauty of the scene.

Life is really tough, Youyou sighed again.

Instead of letting her take him home, Yuu Tenkuji got out of the car at the entrance of a nearby alley.

Lazily leaning on the steering wheel, Yukinoshita Haruno gazed out the window at him.

"I'll ask you out again when I have time. Remember to keep in touch."

"Since you've already booked me, I don't have a chance to refuse, right?"

"Don't say it so reluctantly~"

After thinking for a moment, Yuu Tenkuji said, "I might be visiting a friend soon. If you want to meet up with me, please let me know a day in advance so I can make the time available."

"Hey~ Little Yuyu, which is more important to you, friends or girlfriend?" Yukinoshita Haruno frowned as if she was being wronged, but her eyes were full of mischievous smiles.

Yuu Tenkuji immediately smiled gently: "Of course it's my girlfriend, Haruno."

"Ugh, how cheesy!" Her expression changed abruptly, and she crossed her arms as if feeling cold. "Let's just forget about this."

"Hurry back, be careful on the way." Rolling her eyes, Tenkuji Yu ignored her, placed a plush toy on her seat, and prepared to leave.

"what is this?"

Yukino picked up the panda-shaped doll, examined it for a few moments, and asked with some doubt, "This is... Mr. Pan's doll, right? A gift for me?"

He casually replied, "Yeah, I got it from the promotion."

Thanks to his skill, Yuu Tenkuji got a lot of event tickets today; besides the potato chips that Sora asked for, he also exchanged a few other things for them—this doll was one of them, which is said to be Disney's mascot.

"Hey, that's so thoughtful."

She sighed, but it was impossible to tell whether she was satisfied or not.

Yukinoshita, holding the doll, glanced at him with a slight smile.

"Although I'm not really interested in this panda, I'll reluctantly accept it since you're thinking of me."

"If you don't want it, give it back to me. I can give it to my sister."

"Wow, he's a siscon, how disgusting~"

Her eyebrows shot up immediately, and Tenkuji Yu made a move to snatch the doll back.

Yukinoshita closed the car window, waved at him with a grin from inside the car, and quickly drove away.

Yuu Tenkuji watched the departing exhaust fumes, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"What a difficult woman."

Inside the car, Yukino glanced at the panda plush toy firmly secured to the passenger seat by the seatbelt.

"What strange taste."

She made her assessment without any reservations, but her face showed an undisguised smile of pleasure.

With one hand on the steering wheel and the other on her phone, Yukino took a picture of the passenger in the front seat.

Then it was sent to her younger sister, Yukino Yukinoshita.

"I took my little one out for a drive today, aren't you envious?"

After confirming that she had read the message instantly, Yukino Yukinoshita silenced her phone, threw it in front of the doll, and ignored the screen as it kept lighting up.

"Hmph~"

Gazing at the beautiful sky as the sunset darkened, she unconsciously began humming a light and cheerful song again.

Yuu Tenkuji stood at her front door.

The moment his hand touched the doorknob, a sense of danger suddenly welled up in his mind, causing him to stop.

"No, we can't just go in like this..."

Sky Temple Yu's expression was solemn.

Thinking back carefully, he realized that he had quite a few intimate encounters with Yukinoshita Haruno today, and that the filthy adult had even bitten his face.

Even though I wiped the lipstick stain off in the car, if I went home like this, my sister would inevitably find some clues...

No, if it were the sharp and vigilant Sora, who is as keen as a drug-sniffing dog, she would definitely be able to detect the scent of this mature woman's perfume on her!

After all, when she hugged her own arm, she practically infused it with her own flavor.

"We need to find a place to wash it off and clean up the marks."

Subconsciously, Yuuki Tenkuji had the same thought as her cheating husband.

It wasn't that he was afraid his sister would be jealous or throw a tantrum, but rather that he was afraid she would think he was being stolen away by a bad woman outside, and that she would sneak into his room at night, tie him up, and do something lewd to him.

Sadly, this isn't impossible...

After seeing a bunch of random stuff online, she was no longer the innocent and pure-hearted Sora who called him "Onii-chan".

Which innocent little sister would question her brother about selling his body outside?

In this regard, Yuu Tenkuji dared not underestimate Sora Kasugano, which is why he had to treat her with utmost care.

But now another problem has arisen—

How can I cover up my body odor in a short amount of time?

Yuu Tenkuji quickly came up with the answer to this question.

Bounty open! Extra chapters guaranteed upon release.

Okay, this time we'll offer a bounty!

If all goes well, the book is almost finished with the word count and will be available for purchase next Friday.

To make the book's sales figures look better when it's released, the author plans to boost its popularity with a bounty, which will last until midnight next Friday, with no upper limit.

Because the book is doing quite well, the author is very motivated to update it regularly, so updating less than ten times a week is not a big deal.

The book "I Want to Fall in Love After Studying" was released with ten chapters on the first day, living up to everyone's expectations.

I hope readers who enjoy this book will continue to support it!

I won't say any more witty remarks. Anyway, the author is deep enough. Go ahead and fill me with whatever you want!

The following are the reward criteria:

One chapter for every 100 monthly votes, one chapter for every 100 razor blades, one chapter for every 10,000 reward.

Although there probably won't be any treasure chests, I'll just say it anyway—the "universal celebration" treasure chest doesn't count, because the author won't get paid for it.

that is it.

Then time and data will be calculated from now on:
