I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

For others, the refusal here likely refers to 'refusing the suggestion that Yui Yuigahama and her two companions go together'.

Only he knew that he was referring to the fact that "even though he was still on a mission, he didn't reject Yui Yuigahama's confession."

That was the answer that Tenkuji Yu came to after constant thinking and struggle; it was a choice he would never regret, no matter what consequences he had to bear or what others said.

The meaning lies in this.

"So you're all acting for your own reasons. It's strange, but not strange at all, that's all."

Turning her gaze away from Yuu's face, Yukino Yukinoshita spread her hands and said helplessly to her mother, "These guys are seventeen years old. They're not some puppets that you can just let do as you please. We can't control their thoughts... Instead of standing on the opposite side of them, we might as well think about some more important things."

"What's more important?" Mrs. Yukinoshita asked reflexively, forgetting to even open her fan.

Yukinoshita revealed a mysterious smile.

A circle, a dot, a train passing through a tunnel—that's the hand gesture she made.

"Life safety issues."

Everyone: "..."

"Why are you looking at me like that? I was right, wasn't I?" Without a hint of embarrassment, Yukinoshita blinked innocently at their strange, silent gazes. "It's all because high school students these days are so free. They're like wild animals in heat, always getting into trouble..."

"Therefore, I suggest revoking Yukino's right to live alone, lest she start bringing boys home to spend the night one day!"

"Huh?! I would never do that—no way!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly realized what she meant, frowned, glared at him, and bit her lip, revealing an embarrassed and annoyed expression.

"Sister, is this what you did for—!"

Yang whistled and turned her face away: "Hey~ what are you saying? I don't understand~"

"You're still pretending to be stupid..."

"Yukino, Haruno is right." Before she could finish speaking, her mother's stern yet calm voice rang out, carrying an unyielding will.

“I may not be able to control who you want to date, but that apartment is my property, and I have the right to make you move out of there… Pack your bags after the cultural festival and go home.”

"Mom, Mom!" Whether or not they go home isn't the point. Right now, Yukino Yukinoshita's ears are burning red and her cheeks are flushed. She just wants to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible. "Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. She has ulterior motives! I swear, I never intended to bring Tenkuji-kun home for the night..."

"Has ulterior motives? What motives could Yang Nai possibly have?"

"This……"

"Yes, yes~ How could I, such a gentle, kind, and understanding older sister, possibly have any bad intentions? I'm so sad that Yukino doubted me, *crying*~"

"Hey you...hey over there, what are you laughing at? Is it funny?! Yui, pinch him for me!"

"Got it!...Where should I pinch?"

"Just don't pinch his thigh, he won't feel any pain."

"I understand, then it'll be the traditional soft flesh around the waist... Hey? Xiaoxue, how do you know that pinching Xiaoyou's thigh won't hurt him?"

"..."

Around noon, Class A of the first year was bustling with people, the aroma of cooked food and hot tea filled the air, and the sound of chatting never stopped.

Because the seats are close together, you can hear the conversations at the next table if you just listen carefully.

However, at the very back of the classroom, there was a table for seven people that was naturally overlooked by everyone, its presence even less noticeable than the calligraphy display hanging at the back of the classroom.

No one glanced in their direction, nor did anyone show any interest in their conversation; even when they were nearly caught in the crossfire of the playful boys and girls, the customers and butlers simply walked by as if nothing was amiss, and no one noticed anything amiss.

Under the premise that no one could hear him through the walls, Tenkuji Yu finally survived his first chaotic situation and accomplished a rather important achievement in his life.

"In front of both mothers, I announced that I wanted to date both of their daughters at the same time, and successfully obtained their consent."

Although it was far less optimistic than the agreement, neither Mrs. Yukinoshita nor Mrs. Yuihama commented on his two-timing.

Perhaps it was thanks to his girlfriends' unwavering faith, or perhaps it was his sincerity (referring to his dozens of pages of cheating plans) that moved them, or perhaps it was Yukinoshita Haruno's brilliant arguments that completely stabilized the situation.

But in any case, at least he got past his mother-in-law's hurdle and could continue dating Yui and Yukino.

And in the process, no one made any sacrifices... Oh wait, I forgot to include Yukino's right to live alone.

In conclusion, this matter has come to a temporary end, and the outcome is a happy one for everyone; there couldn't be a better development!

Yuu Tenkuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at the harmonious lunchtime in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly smile.

'If the mission is never completed, perhaps marrying them and truly establishing the Sky Temple family wouldn't be so bad...'

What he wrote in his plan was based on the premise that he would never be able to complete the task, and he was planning his future with those two people.

Because when Yuu Tenkuji likes something, he always goes all out.

Regardless of whether it will disappear one day, as long as I like it now, I believe I will continue to like it in the future.

Whether it's being overly devoted or simply being afraid of losing someone, he doesn't know, nor does he want to delve into his romantic tendencies.

It's enough to know what you're striving for.

So, ultimately, we still have to complete the task.

Otherwise, all the efforts, sacrifices, and affections made in the previous three attempts would become a worthless answer sheet.

Tenkuji Yu shook his head, then turned his gaze to Yukinoshita.

He had a feeling that she was plotting something again—not just taking away Yukino's right to live alone, but something more important to her, something worth thinking about carefully.

Not only that, but my own reaction was also very strange. It was as if the sense of separation between the past and the present was gradually fading. When facing Yukinoshita Haruno, I would always involuntarily pay attention to her expression and focus on her as a person.

As for the cause, it's probably just those "memory dreams" I've been having every day lately.

It's truly a case of one wave subsiding only for another to rise—

No, it should be said that before completely resolving this huge problem of the system, I will always be on the rise and fall of the waves, and there will never be a time when I can calm down.

Yuu Tenkuji sighed inwardly. Just as she was about to compose herself, she saw two small hands reaching out from under the table.

A slender, long, and boneless piece, as if carved from the finest jade.

A warm, soft, petite, and smooth bun, just like a perfectly cooked meat bun.

They hung quietly at his side, while their owner chatted casually with his mother across from him, as if he didn't know where to put them and just placed them anywhere.

Unable to resist, Yuu squinted and smiled. He straightened up, head held high, and quietly took those two small hands under the table, conveying his warmth and affection to them.

This time, he was no longer afraid of the end, nor was he afraid of saying goodbye.

Because they are there to guide me, I will never be alone, whether I move forward or backward.

'Every day from now on will surely be better than the past...'

Filled with indescribable excitement, Tenkuji Yu couldn't help but sigh.

The next moment, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly slammed her hand on the table, stood up, pointed to the part of him hidden under the table, and loudly and righteously addressed her mother:

"Mom, they were secretly being intimate right in front of us! Yukino's hand was almost touching his thigh!"

"what?"

Mrs. Yukinoshita's eyes immediately sharpened. She covered her lips with her fan, but her piercing gaze swept coldly towards Yuu Tenkuji.

"You guys are really bold, daring to do this right in front of me..."

"..." Before he could even let go of her hand, Tenkuji Yu was speechless and could only bow his head and confess his guilt.

Seeing the naive female college student sitting down with a smug look on her face, he suddenly understood. He completely understood.

To have a wonderful day, the first thing is—

It's about completely getting away from Yukinoshita Haruno's perverse sense of humor!

……

During the meal, Yui Yuigahama quietly asked her mother.

"Mom, why did you only ask me 'what do you think'? I thought you would be even angrier."

"Get angry? Why? There's no need for that."

Nao Yuihama gently poked at the spaghetti in front of her with her fork, glancing over with a smile in her eyes, and said slowly, "Although my daughter is foolish for insisting on sharing a husband with someone, at least she has found her own happiness and a future rich husband, hasn't she? Besides, it's not like my boyfriend was taken away, so why should I be angry?"

"Hey~ it sounds like you don't value me at all when you say that." Yui Yuigahama pouted and said with mixed feelings, "Being open-minded is a good thing, but accepting the fact that the three of us are together so quickly makes me feel like you can't care about me."

“It’s not my imagination, silly girl. Ever since you cried all night in bed for him and then deliberately skipped school because of him, I’ve stopped caring about your love life.” Yuigahama Nao reached out and playfully poked her soft, puffed-up cheek. “Besides, with Yukinoshita-san around, my silence is actually the best way to show I value your choice the most.”

"Huh? Why?" Yui Yuigahama blinked, somewhat bewildered.

"It's a very simple analysis."

Nao Yuigahama raised a finger, cleared her throat, and began to explain in a very logical and eloquent manner.

"If Mrs. Yukinoshita forces Yukino and Yu to break up, then you will be the one who wins in the end."

If Xiaoxue and her mother have a falling out, I can mediate and help you gain the upper hand in this emotional battle.

If everything turns out well in the end, and Mrs. Yukino approves of your relationship, then I won't lose out—after all, I won't have any conflicts with anyone, my daughter won't want to run away from home, I'll get a good impression from my son-in-law, and most importantly, I'll gain another smart, elegant, and beautiful daughter!

After saying that, Yui Yuigahama stared blankly as Nao Yuigahama puffed out her ample chest and chuckled smugly.

"See? That's the wisdom of a housewife! As long as you do nothing and let others take the lead, you'll never be the one who suffers!"

"This has nothing to do with housewives!"

Before fully understanding what she had said, Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but make this comment.

Chapter 159, "Piercing the Heart," refers to this?

Class 1-A, in a corner of the classroom.

The aroma of black tea wafted before her delicate nose, and her legs, clad in black stockings, were elegantly crossed, every movement a natural and beautiful sight.

Like a witch emerging from a forbidden library, the black-haired girl gently pursed her full, cherry-blossom-colored lips, her long, slightly curled eyelashes drooping gracefully, a calm and mysterious aura enveloping her, like a veil that was faintly visible.

Many tourists passing by couldn't help but turn around and look, their eyes either falling on her exquisitely beautiful face or lingering on her plump, taut thighs and the bulging front of her uniform. Her pure yet sexy charm was irresistible to people of all ages and genders.

No one knew that the beautiful black-haired girl was about to explode with frustration.

Under the table, the toes of black leather boots touched the ground, and the suspended heels were trembling slightly, causing the fleshy thighs wrapped in black stockings to quiver.

Beneath her seemingly mature and demure face, her teeth were already clenched, and a deep, dark rage burned silently in her ruby ​​eyes, as if it were about to shoot a line of fire in some direction at any moment.

"You foolish junior, you know I'm hinting at something... how come you're still chatting away?! Why aren't you coming to find me in the third-year classroom?! This is a matter of life and death, so get a grip!"
