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

"Pfft~" Laughter interrupted Shiraishi Sawa, and the girl's cherry-colored lips stretched into a joyful arc. Takanashi Yuko also stepped forward and hugged Shiraishi Sawa.

“There’s a mistake, there’s a mistake,” she said.

"What's wrong?" Shiraishi Sawa reached out and hugged Takanashi Yuko just as tightly, resting his chin on her head.

"I know what Zexiu wants to say, but actually, I don't mean it that way anymore." Her tone was happy, relaxed, and as if she had just lifted a thousand-pound burden.

“As early as on my birthday, when Zexiu said that you liked me too, I stopped having those feelings, because I was 100% sure that Zexiu would always have me with him for the rest of his life and would never abandon him.”

"Then why do you act like this?" He didn't understand.

“Zexiu, you probably don’t understand one thing yet: among the four of us, the happiest and most carefree one is me.”

“My happiness and joy far exceed that of you, and this ‘you’ includes Zexiu’s.”

"You're all lost, but I've already reached my destination."

As if in response to her words, their voices, tones, and even the unseen expressions of Shiraishi Sawa were overflowing with happiness, and a touch of... a smugness that Takanashi Yuuko had almost never shown before.

"So I don't care about anything. I've already got everything I wanted, so there's absolutely no need for me to do anything troublesome and add to Zexiu's worries."

“I already have enough troubles, so a little more won’t hurt.” Shiraishi Sawa’s hand slid down the girl’s back, grabbed a few strands of hair, and began to play with them, as he spoke.

“What does it matter? I’ve already made my decision.” His voice was firm, a choice made out of selfishness.

"If you have more worries, it will only make people get lost for a longer time, which is not worth it."

"Is that so? Then I got angry for nothing, Yuuko."

"Don't be angry anymore. I've never seen you look like that before. I was really scared just now." Takanashi Yuuko buried her head even deeper and hugged him even tighter, as if afraid he would leave.

"Where did your confidence from when you said 'we've already reached the finish line' come back?" Shiraishi Sawa's voice finally revealed a hint of teasing and laughter that had been absent for some time.

"I'm holding the finish line right now, but I'm sometimes afraid it will run away."

"Never, in any way, at any level, will I run away." 'The End' made his vow.

“I think so too.” After hugging for a while, Takanashi Yuuko said, “There’s no need to be sad or angry about this anymore. You know I don’t have the kind of emotions you’re thinking of, that’s enough.”

“But this way, I’m definitely not being fair to you.”

"But... adding trouble to Zexiu is adding trouble to me, and I don't want that."

"Yuko, you are so kind."

"But the gentlest person in the world is clearly you, Zexiu."

"My cheap and excessive gentleness is disliked by everyone. I... am not even as good as Nobita Nobi, the bastard who destroyed the world," Shiraishi Sawa said self-deprecatingly.

"You are the best person in the world."

"I just found out that you're blind, Yuko."

"certainly not."

The clouds were driven by the wind, and the moonlight and starlight generously poured down. The breeze swayed the roadside trees, and beneath the swaying shadows, a young boy and girl embraced tightly.

.....

"My legs are tired from standing, I'm going to do a bird dance." After some time, Shiraishi Sawa said.

"Are you awake, Zexiu?" Takanashi Yuuko looked up at the boy with a cool, aloof aura in front of her.

"I'm not drunk." Men, even if they're completely passed out, will always answer "I'm not drunk" when asked if they're drunk.

"Then let's go back." Takanashi Yuuko smiled gently, nodded, and said.

"Wait a minute."

"Hmm?" Takanashi Yuko tilted her head in confusion, her long, lead-powder-like, bright black hair slipping down her shoulders.

Caught completely off guard by the boy in front of her, she was easily pulled along by him and leaned against the wall.

"Smile." He pinched her chin, lifted it slightly, and said to her.

So she used all her strength to smile earnestly at him.

"Open your mouth," he said.

So she opened her mouth.

The shy stars and moon, finding no clouds to shield them from view, could only helplessly let their light shine through the leaves, enveloping the two of them.

The intertwined shadows moved about, seemingly trying to escape this sweet, sticky place.

With hazy eyes, Takanashi Yuuko pressed her cheek against Shiraishi Sawa's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling happiness up close.

The two warm, large hands played with it for a while longer before withdrawing it.

"When we get home, I want to give you everything, okay?" The strange sensation finally subsided a little, and a sweet, cloying voice came from her throat.

"It depends on my mood. I'm a jerk, I love stringing girls along. Let's talk when I'm in a better mood at home." Shiraishi Zexiu pondered for a moment, then said 'seriously'.

"Okay, I'll do whatever Zexiu says."

"Let's go back, it's late."

The two of them had been outside for almost two hours.

"Ah."

Shiraishi Zexiu took her hand and they returned the way they came.

"The stars are shining above you, and their words, like stardust, gently fall before your eyes."

--

I was woken up by my alarm clock at six in the morning, and my head was still a little groggy.

"Hiss, drinking leads to trouble." Shiraishi Zexiu looked at the ceiling and came to this conclusion.

But he wanted to emphasize that he was not drunk.

After changing into his workout clothes, Shiraishi Sawa went for a morning run as he did yesterday. When he returned, Soga Kirei was still asleep.

"President, President..."

Shiraishi Sawa gently nudged Soga Kirei, and soon Soga Kirei grabbed his hand, but Soga Kirei still didn't wake up.

"Do you still need to learn to swim, President?"

With Shiraishi Zexiu's persistent efforts, Soga Kiri Ren finally opened her eyes, looking at Shiraishi Zexiu with a slightly confused expression.

"Where is this?"

"President, you haven't lost your memory because of drinking, have you? Where is this...?" Shiraishi Sawa Hide seriously analyzed the current situation for Soga Kiri Ren.

“I don’t remember much about last night.” Suwo Wulian sat up with some distress, her collar slipping to the right, revealing half of her snow-white shoulder, reflecting the morning light.

Shiraishi Sawa helped her straighten her collar, sat on his mattress, and asked with a smile:

"I won't drink next time. I almost got dizzy last night. So, do I still have to learn to swim today?"

"Yes, I will." Suwo Wulian nodded without hesitation.

"So, are you getting up now, or resting a little longer?"

Suga Wulian stretched her tender, slender legs out from under the covers, put on her slippers, and stood up. A sudden wave of dizziness made her lose her balance and fall forward.

Fortunately, Shiraishi Sawa had anticipated this situation. The moment Soga Kirei collapsed, he got up, caught her, and shook his head with a smile:

"How about we skip studying today and take a break?" The three girls around her, including Takanashi Yuuko, were still asleep.

"No, I want to learn." Soga Kirei remained stubborn about this, leaning comfortably against Shiraishi Zexiu's chest.

"Okay, but wait a minute. I'll heat up the hangover soup that Takanashi made yesterday and bring it over for you to drink first." Last night, after I got back, I made it with Takanashi Yuuko in the kitchen. There was a whole pot, enough for four people.

“Let’s go together.” Soga Kirei said without letting go of Shiraishi Zexiu’s waist.

--

"What happened last night? I fainted so early, I can't remember anything." In the restaurant, blowing away the rising steam, Suwo Wulian took a small sip of the hangover soup and asked.

"Because we drank too much and too many different kinds of alcohol, everyone was dizzy. After watching Doraemon, Takanashi and I took everyone home."

How I got back.

"I'll carry you back."

"A princess carry?" A young girl's focus is always peculiar.

"Correct."

"She's still asleep, what a pity." A look of regret appeared on the girl's face. She hadn't planned to get drunk, but the cocktail really didn't taste like alcohol. By the time she realized something was wrong, she couldn't hold on any longer.

"President, once you learn to swim, I'll carry you across the coastline," said Shiraishi Sawa, who was eating breakfast across from him, with a smile.

"Okay!" Soga Kirei nodded vigorously, tucked her hair behind her ears, and lowered her head to drink the soup in large gulps—saving time to learn to swim.

After changing into her swimsuit, Shiraishi Sawa confirmed that Soga Kiri was fully awake and could walk in a straight line before letting her do warm-up exercises and go into the water.

"Do you remember what we did yesterday?" Shiraishi Sawa asked loudly, watching Soga Kirei, who was completely submerged in the seawater, getting used to the feeling of being submerged.

The girl strained to lift her head, and several streams of seawater splattered from her wet hair, directly onto Shiraishi Sawa's face.

Her soft, glossy black hair clung tightly to the girl's cheeks after absorbing water. Water droplets slid off her stunningly beautiful features, returning to the surface of the sea and creating ripples. Sunlight shone from behind her, making her look like a sun goddess.

If it weren't for the goddess's slightly bulging mouth, and Shiraishi Sawa Hide's preparedness in dodging her water gun, he probably would have become her follower because of this scene.

"Nothing related to the white stone will be forgotten," the goddess declared in her oracle.

"I understand, I underestimated my own abilities." Shiraishi Sawa simply wiped the water off his face and stretched out his hands. "Then, President, show us your perfect swimming style!"

......

"President, take a rest if you're tired. Don't get cramps later. You've experienced what it's like to choke on water, it's not pleasant."

The girl, raising her head from the water again, brushed her wet hair back, her cherry lips slightly parted, panting, yet ready to dive back into the water. Therefore, Shiraishi Sawa reminded her.

The progress is already very obvious. Soga Kirei can now swim a distance of seven or eight meters using freestyle strokes.

“I want to learn.” Soga Kirei shook her head, refusing the suggestion to rest.

"Well, I really can't do anything with you, Chairman."

Shiraishi Sawa stretched his arms forward and submerged them in the sea, but not too far apart, not as if he were practicing to correct his swimming posture.

Soga Kirei's face was half submerged in the seawater, her slightly bulging mouth constantly blowing bubbles, making a 'glug glug' sound, and her beautiful eyes were filled with doubt.
