My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

That's what everyone thinks.

What will he say?

Yoshiko Shimizu, I like you.

Or perhaps...

"Shiraishi Sawa Hide, I like you."

Chapter 183: The Night of Confessions – All Four People Were Extraordinary. (4000)

The girl's voice pulled Shiraishi Sawah's attention back to reality from his fantasy.

Nine lavender flowers, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, were held in Soga Kiri's hands. Above the flowers was the girl's half-hidden face, her eyes, like a handful of water scooped from a clear summer spring, now filled with a smile as she looked at Shiraishi Sawa.

It was sudden, yet it didn't seem so sudden.

But this did not prevent Shiraishi Hideaki's once-high-speed brain from suddenly shutting down.

"Shiraishi-kun, I like you."

The girl repeated herself, tilting her head slightly, and further presented the lavender in her hand to Shiraishi Sawa, revealing her mouth that had just been covered.

He was laughing very happily.

Only her clenched, white hands betrayed the fact that the girl's heart was not at peace.

Seeing that Shiraishi Sawa seemed not to have reacted yet, Soga Kiri Ren grabbed Shiraishi Sawa's large hand, placed the lavender in it, and pressed her small hand against his large hand, making him hold it.

Shiraishi Sawa took a deep breath, preparing to speak.

"Don't speak, Shiraishi." Soga Kiri, who was staring intently into Shiraishi Sawa's eyes, immediately said upon seeing this action.

"Cough...cough cough..."

The sudden blockage caused Shiraishizawa Hideki to be unable to connect for a moment, and he began to cough.

He patted his back with his other hand to relieve his discomfort.

"Don't speak without my permission." Suga Wulian stroked the lavender in Shiraishi Zexiu's hand. She was pleased that the boy had gripped the flower tightly when he coughed.

"After seeing the message that Daiki posted in the group, I imagined this scene. Isn't this something that was prepared for a confession? Although I didn't expect it to actually be used for a confession."

Soga Kirei smiled.

"The flower language of lavender is 'waiting for love,' which implies unrequited love. Shiraishi, do you know I have a crush on you?"

"I know." Shiraishi Zexiu, who had already calmed down, nodded and said that there was no need to pretend to be crazy.

"Actually, I only prepared one lavender stalk. One stalk fits perfectly in my small bag. But you said that in China, giving nine stalks means longevity, so I went and bought eight more. Although the lavender stalks aren't as big as roses, many of them were still crushed, which is a pity."

"Hey, Shiraishi, I'm giving you this everlasting lavender because I want to tell you that I'll secretly love you for a long, long time—no, from today onwards, it's an open crush."

Soga Kirei looked out the window; the night view seemed even more dazzling. "Do you believe in love at first sight? Of course you don't, you've said it before. Actually, I don't believe it either, but the day you walked into the student council, I started paying close attention to you. As for the reason..."

Soga Kirei smiled slyly, "Shiraishi Sawa Hide, what a nice name. And, just like me, you can't talk."

"My name is... Sowo Wulian, which is also a nice-sounding name."

"I never dared to tell you that I liked you before, but that night at the villa, I thought I had finally mustered up the courage."

But when I saw you, in that instant, I still thought that you would reject me, and after being rejected, how could I use so many excuses and reasons to invite you to be with me?

So I didn't dare to break the ice, and went back.

Soga Kirei moved a little closer to Shiraishi Sawa, looking directly at the boy she loved, and said:

"But now I know I can't be a coward. You're too outstanding, and many girls will like you. If I don't express my feelings soon, I'll lose. I have to say it, Shiraishi-kun, I really like you."

Not allowed to speak, Shiraishi Sawa looked quietly at the face so close to his, so fair, clean, and captivating.

"Shiraishi-kun, will you accept my confession now and be with me? Don't answer."

The girl quietly stared at Shiraishi Sawa.

Very calm, with a hint of evasion.

A hint of regret flashed across her face, but it quickly faded. Soga no Kirei continued:

"It's like this, you've never been in love before, and it seems like I can't be the first. Although I've long been prepared for this outcome, I still fantasize that maybe you'll say yes right now. It's such a pity."

Soga Kirei bit her lip, seemingly encouraging herself, and continued speaking with even greater determination:

"However... this is only for now. There's still a long time ahead, and I will continue to strive for this position. Today, I just wanted to let you know my feelings openly."

Shiraishi-kun, do you have even the slightest crush on me? Don't answer.

The calm surface of the lake could not ultimately suppress the ripples rising from the bottom.

"That's enough, that's enough." Suwo Wulian laughed again. "As long as you don't hate it, I'm satisfied with just a little bit of liking it. I was worried that you would get annoyed, after all, I really haven't learned how to get along with boys yet."

"Anyway, if possible, I hope we can continue to get along like before, as if nothing happened today. If not, then I can only... cling to you even more, I won't give up."

"I don't know how to pursue a boy, so I can only express my feelings according to my own heart."

"Actually, there's so much more I want to say. I even prepared my thoughts beforehand, but now that I'm in this situation, I can't say anything. Shiraishi, can I hug you? You can refuse." The girl was a little nervous.

“Yes, that’s fine,” Shiraishi Sawa replied.

Upon hearing this, Suga Wulian stepped forward with delight, put her arm around the boy's shoulder, and gently rested her gradually blushing cheeks on his shoulder.

It was very tight, but Shiraishi Sawa tried his best not to make any unusual noises. He adjusted his posture to make the girl more comfortable, and after thinking it over, he simply placed his right hand on Soga Kirei's long hair on her back.

His eyes were fixed on the night view outside the window, lost in thought.

The "moment" was very short, so short that the Ferris wheel went from the highest point to the lowest point, so short that it only took a dozen minutes, so short that the world did not change at all.

Things may change.

"We're almost there." Shiraishi Zexiu's voice was very soft, as if afraid of waking the sleeping girl.

"Hmm." Suga Kirei slowly raised her head, staring at Shiraishi Zexiu's face, seemingly deep in thought.

"May I kiss you?" she asked softly.

"what?"

A cool, smooth sensation flashed across my cheek.

"I just asked Shiraishi if I could kiss you, and you didn't refuse." Soga Kirei's voice was clear this time.

"So that's how it is. It was my fault." Shiraishi Zexiu gently touched his cheek and nodded.

"not enough."

The cool, moist touch returned, pressing against Shiraishi Zexiu's lips.

Soga Kirei's eyelashes were clearly visible, and Shiraishi Sawa was even able to calculate the trembling arc.

The eyelashes are between 2 and 3 degrees long and not fake.

Although Shiraishi Sawa didn't know why he was calculating this, it was still much better than having a blank mind.

Their lips touched and then parted quickly. Just as they separated, Shiraishi Sawa felt his lower lip being gently bitten by Soga Kiri's teeth.

Then Soga Kirei lowered her head and stopped looking at Shiraishi Sawa.

"President, what's the reason this time? Have you come up with one?"

"Not yet, I don't know how to make it up."

"Then let's not make it up."

"Ah."

There was a few seconds of silence.

"I'm not super happy today, but I'm extremely happy," Soga Kirei said.

“I think so too.” Shiraishi Zexiu laughed for the first time in the Ferris wheel, just as he looked at the approaching crowd of waiting people.

--

The door to the private room was opened by the staff. Shiraishi Sawa saw Oki Taichi outside, who was gesturing wildly and couldn't hide his smile, and Shimizu Miko next to him, who was pretending not to know him but was also very happy looking at the roses in her hand. He knew that things had gone well.

Sure enough, the moment Shiraishi Sawa got out of the car, Oki Taichi rushed over and grabbed Shiraishi Sawa's shoulder, "I did it! Miko said yes! She agreed to be my girlfriend!"

"Okay, congratulations."

Shiraishi Zexiu nodded and looked at Soga Kirei, who then came out of the private room.

Noticing Shiraishi Sawa's gaze, Soga Kiriren responded with a faint smile before walking over to Shimizu Yoshiko.

"Hey, Shiraishi, why do you still have lavender in your hand?" Taichi Oki asked, looking at the lavender in Shiraishi Sawa's hand.

"Oh, I prepared extra for you, just in case there's a problem with the roses. Now they're mine." Saying this, Shiraishi Sawa carefully put the lavender into the box where the roses had just been placed and closed the bag.

"I see, Shiraishi, you're so thoughtful. You deserve the most credit for my success! I'll treat you to sukiyaki next time!" Taichi Oki said without much thought.

"Then why aren't you being affectionate with Vice President Shimizu now, but instead coming with me?" After coming out of the Ferris wheel, Shiraishi Sawa asked in confusion when he saw that Taichi Oki was walking with his arm around his shoulder instead of getting close to Miko Shimizu.

"Miko is a little shy."

Seeing the distrustful look in Shiraishi Sawa's eyes, Oki Taichi scratched his head.

"Okay, I was a little shy. I thought I would fail, but I succeeded right away. I'm just a little embarrassed to face him in person. I'll chat online to ease the tension when I get back."

Shiraishi Zexiu nodded, looking at Soga Kirei walking beside him. He happened to meet Soga Kirei's gaze, and the two looked away immediately after their eyes met.

Indeed, it's unrealistic to pretend nothing happened.

"How about... we go back first today?"

After walking aimlessly for a while, Shiraishi Sawa suggested something.

"it is good."

He got the three people's agreement in an instant, and then they looked at each other in bewilderment.

It seems everyone is eager to end this trip immediately.

We took the cable car down the mountain and enjoyed the night view one last time.

Since everyone lived in different places and the subway lines they took were only a few stops away from each other, they said "See you at the start of the semester" to each other and then headed to their respective subway stations or taxis.
