I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

The cabin felt like another world; the scenery outside the window kept changing, but the distance between the two remained the same.

It was at this time that they realized something.

When you're alone with someone, no matter what you do or say, time and your heartbeat seem to fly by—perhaps it's the effect of the setting, or perhaps it's just the transformation that comes with the shortened distance.

Indeed, we are no longer the same as we used to be.

Before we knew it, it was time to leave the Ferris wheel.

Seeing the staff below preparing to open the door, Yukino Yukinoshita reluctantly let go of his hand, pulling up her scarf to cover her flushed face, which was burning hot and seemed to have never cooled down. She casually remarked:

"This is the first time I've ever ridden a Ferris wheel with such a calm feeling."

"It's all because of me." Yuu Tenkuji shrugged smugly and said matter-of-factly, "If I hadn't kept distracting you and preventing you from looking down at the scenery, you would have been so afraid of heights that your legs would have gone weak and you would have covered your head by now."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked over with a smile: "Oh? Should I thank you then?"

"No need for thanks, a kiss will do," Tenkuji Yu said jokingly.

Unexpectedly, after a moment of surprise, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly glanced at the staff outside the window, seemingly checking if they could see the scene inside the cabin.

Then, pulling on Tenkuji Yu's collar, and to his disbelief, her soft lips slipped out from behind her scarf, and with a swift, fleeting kiss, she planted a light kiss on his cheek.

This was the closest the two of them were to each other.

She casually sat back down in her original seat, her fair and beautiful face still flushed, her fingers lightly brushing against her cherry-pink lips, as if savoring the sensation from just now.

"...If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass. I understand that principle."

A hot breath escaped from her mouth, and a voice, concealing her embarrassment and feigning composure, rang out.

Yukino Yukinoshita did not avoid Yu Tenkuji's stunned gaze; instead, she gave him a confident and handsome smile, almost as if in defiance.

His eyes, however, remained gentle and warm, reflecting only his own image.

"So, when are you going to formally confess your feelings to me?" she asked with a smile.

"...Huh?" The question was so sudden that it took Tenkuji Yuu a couple of seconds to react. He said with a strange expression, "Didn't you just tell Yui that you didn't need it?"

"That was then, and this is now." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, her lips pouting beautifully, her cheeks puffing out, like a little girl throwing a tantrum. "What, you have a problem with that? Or are you planning to pretend that everything that happened today never happened, and keep the same distance from me as before? All the things we said, all the hands we held, don't count?"

"Huh? I didn't say that..."

Before they could finish speaking, the cabin door was opened by a staff member, who politely urged them to get off with a look in their eyes.

Seeing that the timing wasn't right, Yuu Tenkuji simply pulled Yukino Yukinoshita away from the Ferris wheel, planning to explain properly when there weren't many people around, and also to tease her cute way of being sulky.

She's practically a different kind of creature from the usual Yuki-onna.

As for the girl with long, straight black hair whose hand he was holding, aside from initially struggling reflexively, she obediently let him hold her hand and strolled behind him, seemingly in a very good mood.

Following the departing crowd, the two walked down the steps one after the other.

Yuu Tenkuji recalled the map and realized that this was the end of the amusement park, with no more rides or rest areas. He decided to turn around and ask Yukino Yukinoshita if they should go find Yui Yuigahama now so the three of them could discuss their next plans, take some photos together, and perfectly conclude today's 'date'.

Before he could even speak, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from the shadows behind the stairs.

"Hey~ you 'ex-boyfriend' over there—"

The cheerful tone and bright voice sounded like a loud shout from someone who had just met a friend on the street.

However, upon hearing these words, Tenkuji Yuu reflexively froze on the spot.

My hair stood on end, goosebumps erupted all over my body, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, as if I had been stuffed into a morgue freezer.

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was standing next to him, was taken aback at first, then turned her gaze to the direction from which the sound came, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Sister, sister?! What are you doing here...?"

Emerging from the shadows, Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at her with a smile, but her voice was devoid of emotion, filled with a cold and oppressive force:

"I don't want to explain right now. Before I talk to you, you're not allowed to interfere in my affairs with him, okay, Yukino?"

"..."

Shifting her gaze from her subconsciously silent younger sister, the female college student brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her eyes regaining their smile. Her gentle, bright eyes looked at Tenkuji Yu with the same warmth as always.

"What's wrong? I called you, why didn't you answer?"

"...Yonai, what do you want to do?"

After a long pause, Yuu Tenkuji finally managed to squeeze out this sentence in a rather dry voice.

Forget about any bad premonitions; this time, something terrible is unfolding right before his eyes, leaving him no time or energy to prepare.

As if an invisible hand had gripped his heart, Yuuto Tenkuji could only hold his breath and try to maintain a calm expression as he watched Yukino Yukino slowly walk up to him. He couldn't even care less about Yukino Yukino's reaction.

"Huh? What do I want to do?"

She blinked at herself, her face full of innocence and confusion, as if she were genuinely puzzled by the question.

Unfortunately, she broke down after only a few seconds, and Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Pfft, hahaha, someone actually asked such a question? That's incredibly shameless... no, it's a classic scumbag response."

Wiping away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, she took a deep breath and then sighed helplessly.

Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes into two sickle-like crescents as she looked at Yuuto Tenkuji, her voice gradually turning cold:

"This is the question I want to ask you."

Her dull, lifeless eyes swept over their still-joined hands. She slowly tilted her head, her gaze as cold as a knife, and asked in a kind tone:

"Not only did you secretly bring my sister out on a date, but you even held her hand at the place where we used to go on dates... What are you planning to do?"

“Since we started dating in July, you haven’t officially mentioned breaking up with me yet, my ex-boyfriend.”

Suddenly, Yukino stepped forward and stood on tiptoe.

A mature and beautiful face came close to his, the distance between them shrinking to just a finger's width, her breath and voice gently brushing against his face.

His deep, dark eyes reflected an increasingly stiff expression.

And she spoke in a low voice, as if a cold wind were sweeping through:

"Cheating on your girlfriend's sister is an unforgivable crime in my eyes... So, are you ready to plead guilty?"

In December, the last withered leaf on the branch fell to the ground and was trampled into mud by the endless footsteps.

The amusement park was still bustling with activity, filled with laughter and joy.

The corner where the three of them were located seemed to be frozen, suddenly falling into a deathly silence where no one could move.

Chapter 126 What sister? She's just a philanderer.

Before this, somewhere in the amusement park.

A young girl hurriedly walked out of the women's restroom, wiping her wet hands with a handkerchief as she walked quickly toward the Ferris wheel, her face showing anxiety and frustration.

"Waaaaah, my stomach suddenly hurts... why am I so unlucky..."

I could have followed them and sneaked onto the third car from the back to see if those two would do anything naughty when they were alone in that enclosed space...

As it turned out, perhaps the milk she drank that morning had gone bad, a sudden, intense abdominal cramp instantly shattered her plans—heaven knows how much agony and resentment she felt as she battled her stomach in the toilet!

Thinking of this, Yui Yuigahama, who was on her way, couldn't help but clench her fists and put more force into her feet, pushing herself aggressively against the flow of people.

Ignoring the strange looks from those around her, she remained solemn and made a vow to herself—when they met up later, she would definitely ask them if they had kissed on the Ferris wheel!

If three people are going to be together, there can be no secrets in this area!

"Phew... Phew... I hope I won't lose them..."

Yui Yuigahama rushed from the restroom to the Ferris wheel as fast as she could, panting and looking around anxiously.

In the vast sea, she had no way of knowing whether the two people were still on the Ferris wheel or had gone somewhere else.

After taking out her phone and hesitating for a moment, Yui Yuigahama put it back in her pocket, wiped away the sweat that had been cooled by the cold wind, and her expression gradually became firm.

"Their date isn't over yet, so we shouldn't disturb them until we get back..."

Muttering to herself, so as not to be discovered by those who might pass by, Yui Yuigahama looked around and walked towards a cafe with a second-floor terrace.

Others might find it unacceptable, but as Yuu Tenkuji's official girlfriend, she truly and willingly made this decision—

Let your boyfriend and best friend have a proper date to help smooth things over and improve their somewhat awkward relationship.

All of you, go and be honest about your feelings!

Only by doing this can Yui Yuigahama gain both friendship and love, satisfying her desires without losing anything.

She had long given up on having a normal relationship.

As it turned out, her choice was correct, and the plan was unexpectedly successful.

After a whole day of tailing and observing, the intimacy between the two was visibly increasing. Both Xiaoxue and Xiaoyou looked at each other with different eyes – you didn’t even need to smell it to know that it was the sweet and sour scent between lovers, unique yet seemingly natural.

That's right, this is exactly the kind of stage she wanted to see!

Yui Yuigahama was very satisfied with today's results, and even had a strange feeling of satisfaction and loss, as if she had seen her own child finally get married.

For them, today's date must be an unforgettable memory.

Even though it was getting late and it was almost time to gather and head back, Yui Yuigahama wanted to give this precious memory a perfect ending.

So she had to continue hiding until the two of them contacted her or left the amusement park together, and she couldn't show herself and interfere with their time together.

And all the jealousy and grievances that had accumulated during this time, she would find some time in private to have Tenkuji Yu make it up to her...

"Thinking about it now, I really am a model girlfriend, right? Hehe, Xiaoyou will definitely praise me when she finds out~"

Unable to suppress a soft chuckle, Yui Yuigahama casually bought a cup of coffee at the counter and eagerly went up to the second-floor terrace.

Stepping onto the Italian-style wooden floor, she looked around, trying to find a good spot to overlook the Ferris wheel and see if the two people were nearby.

Before she could even take a step toward the edge of the railing, she heard someone in the corner call out her name.

"Yui-kun, you're finally here."

Yui Yuigahama was startled and turned her head sharply toward the familiar source of the sound.

"Little Liang?!"

Holding binoculars, a beautiful girl with silver hair as smooth as silk looked at him with a smile, slowly making a thumbs-up with her right hand and placing it in front of her chest.

"YES—" A smile played on his lips, and his thumb suddenly flashed horizontally, sweeping downwards with a graceful and decisive motion. "I am!"
