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

This faint light cannot reach Chiyoda Ward, because the shops and buildings there are already bathed in the light of streetlights and neon signs, and the high-rise buildings all around are as bright as lighthouses.

The roadside trees, their leaves falling, are adorned with thousands of golden gem lights, which are now pulsating rhythmically.

"The swimwear store I'm going to is in here." Soga Kirei led the way to the bottom of a shopping mall.

Bai-Zhi-Xiu pretended to look at the map on his phone—even though he didn't even know which house he was going to—and then nodded.

"I trust the chairman to lead the way, please."

At the shopping mall during the cultural festival, crowds surged, and Shiraishi Sawa and Soga Kirei instinctively moved closer to each other.

The dazzling lights are just as impressive as those outside, striving to capture customers' attention.

After taking the elevator to the third floor, Shiraishi Zexiu saw his destination – the Beach Queen lingerie and swimwear boutique.

The shopping mall, located in Chitanda, still occupies a very large space, reflecting the high prices of the goods inside.

There weren't many women shopping inside, and most of them were in the lingerie section, since it's not the season for buying swimwear—unless you're going to an indoor pool.

"President, please go in and choose one." Shiraishi Zexiu walked to the door, stretched, and took out a magazine from the cabinet that offered free magazines. It was a shopping mall guide.

"Shiraishi, together." The girl stepped forward from under the open magazine, her eyes radiating an undeniable light.

The magazine seemed to have added a center-parted wig to Soga Kirei's face, giving her a touch of cuteness amidst her cool demeanor. However, Shiraishi Sawa Hide wasn't completely captivated and asked:

"President, this is a women's specialty store. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to go in."

“It doesn’t say boys can’t go in,” Suga Wulian said, pointing to all the notices at the entrance. “If Shiraishi doesn’t come, how am I supposed to know what to pick?”

“If Shiraishi doesn’t think it looks good, there’s no point in picking it, so we must come in as advisors,” Soga Kirei added.

"Okay." He took the magazine off Soga Kirei's head and put it back in the cabinet by the door. Static electricity still made a few strands of her hair flutter, so Shiraishi Sawa smoothed them down.

Soga Kirei narrowed her eyes, seemingly enjoying Shiraishi Sawa's caresses.

At the entrance to the Beach Queen, two security personnel glanced at Shiraishi Sawah beside Soga Kirei and then let him pass.

The noise inside the store suddenly decreased significantly.

Gazes filled with a mix of amazement, jealousy, admiration, and passion were cast toward the doorway from all directions.

Whether it's the handsome and refined Shiraishi Sawa, or the stunningly beautiful Soga Kirei, both leave a deep impression on the guests.

Shiraishi Sawa Hideyuki scanned the shelves, broadening his horizons:

Seamless, crisscross straps, strapless...

Purple, white, red, pink, green, and that semi-transparent one with only a partial covering in the middle—it's for fun, isn't it...?

Lace trim, bows, ribbons...

This was the first time Shiraishi Sawa had realized that there were so many different kinds of this stuff, far more than he had ever seen in adult films.

"Shiraishi, what kind do you like? I can buy underwear today too." Soga Kirei, who was beside him, noticed his gaze and asked.

"No, no, let's go to the swimsuit section."

Shiraishi Sawa didn't dare to express his opinion, but noticing the blushing on the women's faces and their deliberately lowered voices, he decided to quickly lead Soga Kirei to the swimsuit area inside.

Strapless, twill, high-waisted, skirted, two-tone jumpsuit, two-piece, front-opening V-neck jumpsuit, and most famously, the bikini.

The variety of food here truly lives up to the shop's name—Beach Queen.

Everything Shiraishi Sawa can imagine is here, and so is everything you can't even imagine.

"Shiraishi, which one do you think is more suitable?" Soga Kirei threw the question at him again. "I've never worn a swimsuit before, so I don't know which one looks good."

"President, you overestimate me. I've only ever heard of bikinis, nothing else."

“Let’s try them one by one, starting with bikinis.” Soga Kirei nodded and walked to the bikini section to find the right size.

Shiraishi Sawa noticed the sales assistant next to him, who first looked at Soga Kirei, then at herself, looking conflicted about whether she should have come.

"Excuse me, do you need my help?" she finally asked.

“Need…” “No need, I’ll choose for myself.” Shiraishi Sawa’s voice was interrupted by Soga Kirei.

"Okay, please let me know if you have any questions." After receiving a nod, the sales assistant went to the more crowded lingerie area to provide service.

......

The waiting process was a bit boring, but Shiraishi Sawa didn't take out his phone, afraid of causing misunderstandings, even though there was no one else there. He just stared blankly at the rack where the swimsuits were hanging.

"Shiraishi, is it beautiful?"

Shiraishi Sawa turned his head and saw Soga Kirei, who had changed into a black bikini at some point, standing at the door of the changing room.

The skin that is usually covered by uniforms is boldly exposed, revealing alluring curves.

Flowing long hair, delicate face, perfectly proportioned breasts, slender waist, long legs, and radiant skin.

"The color..." Shiraishi Sawa paused for half a second, then thought about it seriously with an eye for appreciating art. "It looks good, but I don't think black suits you, Chairman."

“I think so too.” Suwo Wulian nodded, walked into the dressing room, and looked at herself in the mirror again.

"But Shiraishi, please take a picture with your phone first, so we can compare them later."

"Okay." Shiraishi Zexiu deftly took out his phone and made a 'click' sound.

"Shiroishi, could you please show me the white and red ones? They're the ones in the third row."

"Okay." Following the instructions, Shiraishi Zexiu selected a swimsuit and then walked closer. Her beautiful figure became increasingly clear in front of Shiraishi Zexiu.

After handing the swimsuit to the girl, Shiraishi Sawa took off his baseball jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

In November, the shop wasn't heated, and coming out in such a thin swimsuit, it was inevitable to feel shiver.

"But President, isn't a bikini a bit too revealing?" Shiraishi Sawa asked hesitantly after much deliberation.

"Are you worried about others seeing this, Shiraishi?"

"No." Shiraishi Zexiu looked at the clean and tidy wall and said 'sincerely'.

Then he laughed at himself and nodded, "Okay, yes."

“We’ve booked the whole place, so it doesn’t matter how much we’re exposed.” Suga Kirei’s face was bathed in a pale white glow under the lights.

"I asked Yiru, and there will only be five of us."

"It's alright, President, you can continue changing." Shiraishi Zexiu touched his nose, trying to suppress the smile on his lips.

"Then I'll keep changing." Suga Wulian brought her sweet smile from the world of words into reality.

--

The number of swimsuit photos of Soga Kirei in Shiraishi Sawa's phone gradually increased.

"Shiraishi, could you help me tie these ribbons? I can't tie them."

The girl peeked out from the changing room, revealing a light green one-piece swimsuit. She was already dressed, but many extra ribbons hung down.

Hideaki Shiraishizawa remembers this swimsuit; the ribbons are tied around the arms and thighs to increase its allure, and it's not easy to tie them by yourself.

The sales staff inside the store were still providing services. After thinking for a moment, Shiraishi Zexiu stepped forward and stood at the door of the changing room.

"I'm here to help you tie the ribbon. Don't do anything weird, Chairman," Shiraishi Sawa reminded him as he approached.

“Just do things that aren’t strange.” Soga Kirei clearly hadn’t listened at all. After thinking for a moment, she added, “Shiraishi, remember? You said that once we’ve known each other for a long time, we can hold hands casually.”

As she spoke, her smooth arm slipped into Shiraishi Sawa's arm and took his hand. Extreme annoyance appeared on the girl's face: "Ah, I remembered so late. We haven't been holding hands all day."

Shiraishi Sawa Hide never imagined that what he said after the preliminary round of the All-Around Knowledge Competition would leave such a deep-seated problem.

“But…” Shiraishi Sawa Hide did not push away Soga Kiri Ren’s hand, “President, how can I help you tie the ribbon if you hold my arm like this?”

"I'm not tying it anymore."

Soga Kirei tilted her head cutely and proudly, and changed to hug Shiraishi Sawa Hide's arm with both hands.

The porcelain-white, smooth skin pressed against Shiraishi Zexiu's arm, and even with a long sleeve covering it, one could still feel its warm, moist touch.

Not to mention the view that Shiraishi Sawa Hide could see from this angle, given that this swimsuit was designed to be sexy.

The same breasts appear to be different sizes when lying flat, standing, and bending over, and now the crowded deep lines are attracting Shiraishi Sawa's attention.

"Tie it on first, tie it on first. The purpose of today is to buy a swimsuit." Shiraishi Sawa gently shook his arm, trying his best not to make Soga Kirei uncomfortable.

"Today's goal is to steal... to get Shiraishi to come and keep me company. So whether it's true or not doesn't matter." Soga Kirei said matter-of-factly.

The curtains in the changing room weren't drawn, so Shiraishi Sawa could still see outside. No one was coming here yet, otherwise the situation would be even more awkward.

"Do you want to stop being held by the arm?" Soga Kirei asked, looking at Shiraishi Sawa with pleading eyes.

"Tell me the president's requirements." There was a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Ah~"

With her mouth slightly open, much smaller than when she was eating in the afternoon, her pink tongue and clean, even teeth reappeared before Shiraishi Zexiu's eyes.

"I want a delicious reward."

"Okay, I'll treat you to a late-night snack later." Shiraishi Zexiu nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Ah~"

Ignoring Shiraishi Sawa's feigned ignorance, Soga Kirei tightened her grip and continued to open her mouth.

"No, it's irresponsible to do these things without knowing the future outcome."

“It doesn’t matter, I’m willing.” Suga Wulian pondered for a moment, “Boring-kun is willing too.”

"And no matter what the future holds, I know what I will do." It sounds like a grammatically incorrect sentence, but Soga Kirei said it with great confidence.

"Mmm~" Suga Wulian leaned closer, her cherry-colored lips reflecting a beautiful sheen.

A scene with no other choice: the curtains in the locker room are drawn.

--

When the curtain was pulled open, Soga Kirei's swimsuit was already tied up.

"How is this?" Shiraishi Sawa took a picture of the girl in the mirror.

"A group photo." Suwo Wulian didn't answer, but took the phone. Her hand, which was about to reach out to link arms, stopped in mid-air. "I forgot, we can't link arms today."

"Just today? Can it be two days?"

"No." Soga Kirei rejected Shiraishi Zexiu's suggestion. After thinking for a moment, she pulled Shiraishi Zexiu to sit on a chair in the dressing room and took a photo together.
