I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Behind her followed Xue Nong, who stood tall and proud, seemingly afraid that she might slip and fall, and was pushing her feet step by step from behind.

……

Today, Yuu Tenkuji still went to school with Yui Yuigahama.

The girl with the pink bun arrived a few minutes later than him. For Tenkuji Yu, who was trying to analyze the hidden truth and danger behind the text message, there was almost no sense of waiting.

"Sorry to keep you waiting?"

“It won’t be long, let’s go.” Yuu Tenkuji nodded to Yui Yuigahama. Even in early December, she was still full of energy and warmth, her smile like a sunflower blooming in summer.

The two walked toward the station, and Yui Yuigahama leaned on his shoulder and suddenly stretched out her hand.

"Look, I'm not wearing gloves!"

Yuuki Tenkuji, distracted from her thoughts, asked in confusion, "Why aren't you wearing one?"

"Hmm? Why does Yui seem a little clumsy today?" Just from that one sentence, Yui Yuigahama sensed something was wrong.

However, she didn't pay much attention to it for the time being. Instead, she put her hand down and put her palm into the pocket of his coat, so that the backs of their hands were pressed together.

The winter wind mercilessly swept through the unsuspecting hair and ears, while the hands that gradually intertwined and finally held hands were the beginning of spring budding in the pocket.

"Hehe, this is exactly what I've been waiting for~"

She tilted her head back and smiled smugly.

Whether from the cold or embarrassment, her face was flushed from the tip of her nose to her cheeks, with a color as pink and delicious as an apple.

Even so, the little hand she held didn't loosen its grip at all, and her soft, warm body seemed to want to pounce on him, clinging tightly to him, trying to drive away the cold of the entire winter.

Yuuki Tenkuji paused for a moment before chuckling, "Is this your new way of flirting? Yuihama-san, how many times do you plan to make my heart flutter?"

Yui Yuigahama scoffed twice, "Stupid question. Would you count the number of loaves of bread you've eaten?"

"Eight pieces. I'm a fan of Chinese food; I eat xiaolongbao for breakfast."

"You're lying! I'll call Xiaoqiong right now and ask you guys what you ate for breakfast!"

Even as she said this, she didn't take her hand out of her pocket, and rubbed her shoulder twice as a form of protest.

As a couple who openly displayed their affection early in the morning, they attracted a lot of attention on their way from Changpo to the station—half with disdain and half with displeasure, with only a few elderly people offering their blessings.

Once on the tram, Yui Yuigahama didn't hold onto the handrails; instead, she used Yuu Tenkuji's arm as a support, swaying gently with the tram.

She seemed to be somewhat anticipating the train becoming crowded; at least when she realized there weren't many people on the train, Yuu Tenkuji saw a look of regret in her eyes.

This also proves that when you're with her, even if you're thinking about something, you shouldn't have appeared absent-minded.

"Xiaoyou, is there something you want to tell me?"

Yui Yuigahama asked this question, as if she had evidence of her husband's infidelity and just wanted to subtly get him to confess.

His cheeks were puffed out, but he didn't seem worried much—perhaps he instinctively felt it wasn't a big deal, or maybe he was just carefree.

Yuu Tenkuji sighed softly: "Indeed... Let me ask you a question."

"Okay, go ahead and ask." Yui nodded obediently, then asked another question, "Is it related to Yuki? Or is Yuu thinking of getting a new girlfriend?"

"No, having a girlfriend isn't like catching Pokémon, what you're saying..." Tenkuji Yu's lips twitched. He felt several surprised gazes coming from nearby. Seeing his clingy girlfriend 'complaining' about him like this, the word "scumbag" gradually appeared in his eyes.

He coughed twice, pretending not to care, and asked her the same questions he had asked Qiong that morning.

"Yui, if it were you, under what circumstances would you send me a text message in the middle of the night without any warning, and the message would only contain four words—'You're doomed.'"

"Huh? Sending a text message like that is practically a threat, isn't it?" Yui Yuigahama blinked in surprise, then pursed her lips and pondered, saying uncertainly, "If it were me... I'd probably only send you a text message like that when Yui decides to break up with me, goes to be intimate with girls other than Yuki, and is completely heartbroken, right?"

She suddenly realized and concluded: "That's right, she wanted to die with you or something!"

Yuu Tenkuji: "..."

"What's wrong, Xiaoyou? Why do you suddenly look so pale?"

"N-nothing, I just thought of something not very interesting."

Chapter 115 Sisters' War (Part 7)

After getting off the tram, the two were still like a couple deeply in love, strolling hand in hand on the sidewalk.

It should be said that Yui Yuigahama was unilaterally unwilling to let go, acting as if she was using him as a hand warmer—even though her body was just as warm, making one subconsciously want to hug her tightly and rub her to generate more heat.

The route to school is quite deserted in winter.

Whether it was because it was too cold or too early, they could only clearly feel that someone was watching them after they entered the school gate.

Even so, Yui Yuigahama showed no intention of separating, continuing to share a coat pocket with him as if she were oblivious, her smile relaxed and casual.

Yuu Tenkuji was surprised by her boldness, after all, unlike other places, most people in the school recognized her;

Since the PV was released on the forum, Yui Yuigahama has also gained a lot of attention. The two of them together are basically eye-catching. You can hear some gossip on the way from changing shoes to going up the stairs, and they also receive a lot of surprised expressions.

This kind of attention should have made the self-proclaimed ordinary girl next to him feel uncomfortable.

Now she doesn't care at all, standing tall and basking in the attention.

"If I don't even have this kind of courage, what right do I have to tell others that I am Xiaoyou's girlfriend?"

Upon hearing his question, Yui Yuigahama replied matter-of-factly, "I've already made up my mind. I'll say what I want out loud, and I'll prove what I don't want to give up with my actions."

"Right now, I'm going to tell everyone—Tenkuji Yu is my boyfriend, and you're not allowed to lay a hand on him!"

Simply put, it's about declaring ownership and quickly spreading the consensus of Class F throughout the school.

After she finished speaking confidently, she shrank her neck, blinked her big eyes twice, and looked at him somewhat nervously: "Xiao You, you shouldn't be angry that I did this, right?"

"I've already told Xiaoxue beforehand. She said she would never do something so shameless in front of everyone, so it's up to me..."

After her initial surprise, Tenkuji Yu smiled and patted her head, seemingly unconcerned.

"Why would I be angry? Don't worry about what Yukinoshita thinks. The more shameless people like this, the better. I don't care."

"Really? Hehehe, that's good~"

Yui Yuigahama nuzzled his shoulder like a puppy, smiling contentedly, and her steps became even lighter.

The two's undisguised intimacy drew sidelong glances from the surrounding students; but whatever their thoughts, Tenkuji Yuu was determined not to pay any more attention.

As long as you don't violate morals or customs, go about your own love life and let others talk.

Yui probably thinks so too.

Compared to her timid and hesitant self in the past, she can now be described as the embodiment of ambition—this is manifested not only in her open assertion of ownership over others at school, but also in her proactive approach of taking his hand whenever she wants to.

There are even tougher areas.

Before the two entered the classroom, Yui Yuigahama suddenly pulled him into the shadows where no one was around, and to Yu's surprise, she decisively stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

Perhaps because of nervousness, she closed her eyes tightly and pursed her lips. It was more like her lips were about to collide than to kiss. After two or three seconds of contact, she separated, panting.

After calming her agitated emotions, her face flushed, she asked softly:

"When you want to kiss, you can kiss, right?"

"That's certainly true..."

As he said this, Yuu Tenkuji's expression became somewhat subtle.

This was the first time he had been forcibly kissed at school—the last person who tried to do the same was Natsukawa Masuzu, but he stopped her in time before he fell in love with her.

Although it feels a bit strange to do something like having an affair at school, if it's my girlfriend, I'll let her kiss me. I won't lose anything anyway.

"Next time, let's find a more secluded place to kiss, so we can slowly enjoy the pleasure of kissing."

Helplessly scratching his head, not knowing what to say, Yuu Tenkuji could only offer this suggestion.

"That's true!"

Yui Yuigahama nodded seriously, as if she had really taken the suggestion to heart. Then, as if she had thought of something, she frowned slightly and looked at his expression with a puzzled expression.

"You sound like you have a lot of experience with this kind of explanation, Xiaoyou..."

"It's just common sense. I've never been forcibly kissed at school—you were just nervous because you were afraid someone would walk by, weren't you?"

Yuu Tenkuji rolled her eyes and said calmly, "Or do you want to do it all over again? This time, let's kiss slowly. If anyone notices, don't let go. Let them watch."

"Ah, haha, then never mind..."

Yui Yuigahama, whose sense of shame wasn't quite that strong, felt her body burning just imagining the scene, so she could only scratch her face and laugh awkwardly, no longer dwelling on the issue.

"Let's go back to the classroom."

As Yuu Tenkuji turned around, preparing to leave the dark little corner, she felt someone tugging at her clothes and heard footsteps following her.

He didn't turn around, but simply led Yui Yuigahama towards the classroom, while listening to her whisper behind him:

"Hey, we're a couple, right? Even though Xiaoyou hasn't officially confessed yet..."

Tenkuuji Yuu didn't hesitate: "That's right. What's wrong?"

"In that case..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, but there was no hesitation or tremor; one could even hear a hint of anticipation in it.

"Can't we do the things that lovers can do?"

"..."

So unexpected was that Yuu Tenkuji was speechless for a moment, his mind going blank with surprise.

When he came to his senses, he wanted to turn his head to look at Yui Yuigahama, but she blocked his view with her hand in advance.

She said shyly and flusteredly, "Wait, don't look at me now! Silly Xiaoyou, do you know how much courage it takes for a girl to say something like that?!"

"I can't expect the boy to bring it up, can I? I don't want to get punched for no reason..."

Yuu Tenkuji sighed, then couldn't help but smile, saying with some admiration, "I thought it would be nothing more than holding hands and kissing, but I didn't expect you to be this bold, Yui... You really said things that I wouldn't dare to say."

"Well……"

If the timing hadn't been wrong, Yuu Tenkuji would have liked to tease her a few more times—for example, deliberately asking what she meant by "things lovers can do".

Should we go to karaoke or feed each other crepes?

Or perhaps, on a night when only the two of you are alone, you go to a hotel room and, following the atmosphere, play games all night...

For games or something, get her to say the answer that's hardest to say.
