"Oh, is that so?" Chiyo thought for a moment, resting her chin on her hand. "I'm sorry, Shiraishi-kun, I remembered wrong. I didn't join the etiquette club at school, I joined the high heels club, which specializes in researching high heels."

"When you come up with department names, can you please show a little more respect? 'High Heels Department' sounds so perfunctory."

"I'll definitely do it next time."

"But with your height, other boys would feel pressured, and wouldn't dare to pursue you."

"I wouldn't even look at those people. How tall are you, Shiraishi-kun?" Chiyo said with disdain.

"188."

"My minimum requirement for my future boyfriend is that he must be 188.1 centimeters tall."

"...You don't need to target me like this once you enter Sang. Doesn't your conscience hurt? I work tirelessly every day to learn how to film for you, and all I get in return is being below your lowest standard."

"That's something you already owe me. Don't forget, the written agreement is still safely kept at my house. I'm waiting to see how you, Mr. Ben Shi, manage to give yourself a proper apology."

"Damn it, we should never have signed such an unequal treaty in the first place."

After finishing their boxed lunches, the two said goodbye and went their separate ways.

Good evening, Takanashi.

When Shiraishi Sawa returned home, he greeted Takanashi Yuko, who was sitting at the coffee table recording her clay doll-making video.

Takanashi seemed to be in a daze, her hand holding the clay remaining motionless until a few seconds after Shiraishi Sawa finished greeting her. She then seemed to realize what was happening and quickly stood up and bowed.

"I'm very sorry, Shiraishi-kun. Good evening."

It was a bit strange, but Shiraishi Sawa didn't investigate. Everyone has their little secrets, after a few simple greetings, the two went back to their own business.

At 11:30, Shiraishi Sawa, who had said goodnight to Tokyo and ended the chat, yawned and drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 23: 60 points can be deducted for every three seconds.

Shiraishi Sawa noticed that Takanashi Yuuko had been acting strangely these past few days. She seemed fine in class, but once she got home, she would often look gloomy and space out. Sometimes she would stare at him inexplicably and then sigh.

Adhering to the principle of never getting involved in troublesome matters unless there is a task, Shiraishi Zexiu considerately never inquired and has been focusing on learning photography and videography these past few days.

"I am back!"

On Friday night, Shiraishi Sawah finished his student council meeting and returned home, opening the door as usual.

"Welcome back. You must have had a hard day, Shiraishi-kun."

Looking at Takanashi Yuuko, who seemed to be waiting for his wife to come home, Shiraishi Sawa was stunned for a moment.

Unfortunately, the system did not reactivate the simulated couple missions this time, otherwise, with his existing experience, Shiraishi Sawa was confident that he could complete at least ten scenes this time.

He pulled his upper body back into the room and closed the door.

The door opened again. "I'm back."

"Welcome back. You must have had a hard day, Shiraishi-kun."

Shiraishi Zexiu sighed, realizing that this was a trap he couldn't avoid.

"Is dinner ready, Takanashi-kun?" Shiraishi Sawa, having given up all hope, decided to enjoy the first half of the evening.

Enjoy yourself at least until Takanashi Yuuko asks her question.

"It's ready, Shiraishi-kun. I haven't eaten yet either. I'll go heat up your food now. Go and rest on the sofa. You must be exhausted from the meetings today."

"It is a bit tiring, but if you act normally, I can stop feeling tired, Takanashi-san." Shiraishi Sawa looked at Takanashi Yuko, hoping she would change her mind.

Takanashi Yuuko maintained a gentle smile, deliberately pretending not to understand the implied meaning in Shiraishi Sawa's words, and simply asked him with a smile:

"What's wrong, Shiraishi-kun? I'm perfectly fine. You should go and rest. I'll make you a cup of coffee while it's heating up."

Reluctantly, Shiraishi Sawah dragged himself to sit on the sofa.

"Add four sugar cubes to the coffee, and a little creamer while you're at it."

Takanashi Yuuko, who had quickly heated the food in the microwave, gracefully came out carrying the coffee that Shiraishi Sawa had requested and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.

"You must have been studying hard all day, Shiraishi-kun. Let me give you a shoulder massage." With that, Takanashi Yuuko tried to walk behind Shiraishi Sawa and give him a massage.

"Damn it!" Startled, Shiraishi Sawa Hide jumped up from the sofa. "Really, Takanashi-kun, just tell me what's wrong. You're making me really scared."

A massage is something that deducts points every second; it's not enjoyable, it's deadly.

"But I just learned some massage techniques today, and I tried them on with my friend Hashimoto this afternoon. She said they were quite comfortable."

"How about this, let's skip it today. We'll save this massage opportunity for when I want it next time, okay?"

You should only start massaging girls when you can touch them without getting hurt.

"That's fine too. Whenever you want, Shiraishi-kun, it's fine. The food is heated up now, so come and eat, Shiraishi-kun."

Takanashi Yuuko had already quickly gone to the kitchen to serve the rice.

Shiraishi Sawa Hide sat down in the chair, not needing to fetch any utensils himself, as Takanashi Yuko placed the rice, chopsticks, and spoon in front of him one by one.

Please enjoy your meal.

"I'm starting!"

"Mr. Shiraishi, try this."

"Mr. Shiraishi, try this one too."

"Mr. Shiraishi, this is also good, try it."

Before I could even take a bite of my rice, the dishes on top of it were already piled up like a small mountain.

Seeing this, Shiraishi Sawa Hide simply put down his chopsticks, looked at Takanashi Yuuko, and sighed.

"Don't do that, Takanashi-kun. I'm really not used to it. Let's not wait any longer, let's just say it now."

Yuko Takanashi seemed unable to keep up the act any longer and collapsed onto the dining table, her face adorably drooping.

"Shiraishi-kun, you have to help me."

"Tell me what it is first, and then I'll consider whether I can help or not."

"Are you good at sports, Shiraishi-kun?"

"Very average."

My physical fitness rating is only +1, which means it's only average or slightly above average.

"Can you participate in the sports meet? Please, I really have no other choice."

"Isn't it Hashimoto who's in charge of the sports meet? How come it's become you finding someone to participate?"

Yuko Takanashi first pursed her lips and puffed out her cheeks for a while, then opened her mouth to answer:

"Because Hashimoto-san isn't very familiar with the boys in her class, while I know more of them, she asked me to help her with the recruitment of male contestants."

I didn't think much about it at the time and just agreed. These past few days I've been asking other boys in the class if they could participate in the sports meet, and I've recruited most of them. I didn't want to trouble you, but there's one vacancy we haven't filled.

It seemed this gap was the problem he would have to face. Shiraishi Sawah picked up the bowl again and started shoveling rice into his mouth.

"Sigh, tell me, which gap?"

"I asked the other boys in my class about the 1500m and 2000m long-distance races, and they all said they didn't want to run them. They said it was too long and tiring, and that it would be easy for girls to see how embarrassing they looked in the last few laps."

"I don't want girls to see me looking so embarrassing either. Your name is Takagi Ryo, and that guy looks very active and can run a lot."

"Takagi Ryo has already participated. He's in the 80m and 100m short-distance races. The sports festival rules state that each person can only register for a maximum of two competitive events, and he doesn't really want to change it. He said that he's better at short-distance running. Please, Shiraishi-kun, I really don't know who else to ask right now besides you."

Shiraishi Zexiu silently picked up a mouthful of rice, waiting for the system to give him some help and assign him a task.

I ate silently for a minute, but the system didn't respond.

“How about,” Shiraishi Sawah decided to give up on this unreliable system and asked Takanashi Yuuko in a low voice, “you could ask someone else?”

"No, Shiraishi-san, the contestants have to be submitted this weekend, and I promised to help Hashimoto-san solve this problem."

As she spoke, Takanashi Yuuko gradually approached Shiraishi Sawa Hide and tried to shake his arm to beg him.

Shiraishi Sawa quickly put down his bowl and stood up.

"Calm down, Takanashi-san. Let's talk this out and avoid physical contact."

"Please, how about this, I'll cook all three meals until the end of the sports festival, and I've also noticed that you don't like doing homework, so you can copy all my homework during this period!" Takanashi Yuuko completely ignored Shiraishi Zexiu's advice and directly hugged Shiraishi Zexiu's arm.

Points: 3105

Points: 3085

Points: 3065

Feeling his score plummeting, Shiraishi Sawa Hide pressed his hand against Takanashi Yuuko's head.

"Okay, I promise! Stop doing this!"

Points: 3061

Shiraishi Sawah withdrew his hand and looked at Takanashi Yuko, who was staring at him with wide eyes.

"Really! Shiraishi-kun, did you participate in the 1500m and 2000m?"

"Yes, yes, I lost to you, okay? I'll participate."

If I don't participate, I'll lose points because of Yuko Takanashi. It's like the system gave me a mission with no reward. How annoying!

"Great! I'll talk to Hashimoto right now, and then our class's participant list will be complete! Thank you, Shiraishi-san!"

Shiraishi Sawa Hide dodged Takanashi Yuko, who seemed to want to hug him.

"Takashi, please be mindful of the difference between boys and girls!"

Takanashi had already sat down on the sofa, picked up his phone, and quickly sent a message.

Presumably, he sent a message to Hashimoto Nana about his participation. Shiraishizawa Hide returned to the dining table to continue eating his dinner, and reminded Takanashi Yuuko:

"Come over and eat as soon as you're done posting."

Back at the dining table, Takanashi Yuuko happily ate her dinner, but gradually, her smile faded and her face grew redder. Shiraishi Sawa Hide didn't notice this abnormality until he placed a dish in front of Takanashi Yuuko.

"What's wrong, Takanashi-kun?"

"Bai...Bai Shi, did you just touch my chest...?"

"You're one to talk! You're holding me so tight, I can't pull away. Don't do that next time."
