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

"It's not realistic to wake the fox up, so let her sleep here."

“Then I want to sleep here too.” Suwo Wulian tilted her head and said seriously, then reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, lay down, and gradually sank into the warm bedding.

"what about me?"

“You can sleep here.” Suwo Wulian patted her own side, then, seeing where the other person’s gaze was, she spread her arms between the two and said, “You can’t sleep here.”

"I won't sleep unless it's in the middle!" Shiraishi Zexiu said with a smile.

"Can't!"

"Alright, there are only two blankets in total. You two can go to sleep. Takanashi and I will head out first."

Soga Kirei fell into thought, her expression somewhat conflicted. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she only said:

"it is good."

Takanashi Yuuko has been very kind to me these past two days, giving me everything. Tonight's Shiraishi can be left to her.

After making sure the windows were closed, Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko left.

--

Shiraishi Zexiu stretched and let out a long sigh.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep."

"If you're tired, I can give you a massage later." Takanashi Yuuko placed her hands on Shiraishi Sawa Hide's shoulders and rubbed them gently. Her voice was soft and comforting, like raindrops pattering on blue tiles on a rainy day.

Her skin was snow-white, and in the overflowing moonlight, she seemed to glow softly.

"Of course I won't hold back. You actually said 'I'm on your side' today, which is very disappointing, Takanashi. You should stand firmly on my side."

As Shiraishi Sawa led Takanashi Yuko upstairs, he said...

"Shiraishi, you suddenly said you liked three people. Didn't you think of that at the time?" Takanashi Yuuko said with a light laugh, tugging at Shiraishi Sawah's sleeve.

“This is called a strategic showdown.” Shiraishi Zexiu shook his head, somewhat smug, but then sighed, “But it seems there’s still a long way to go.”

"I will stand firmly on your side." Her voice was still gentle, but incredibly firm.

Shiraishi Zexiu turned his head and ruffled her hair.

"Little bird, you go first."

"Huh? Why?"

"You can leave now, but you must stand firmly on my side, so don't question it."

"Oh."

Then, Takanashi Yuuko felt a scrutinizing gaze from behind, burning hot, and made a 'tsk' sound, as if she was still savoring it.

Having understood his intention, Takanashi Yuuko found it somewhat amusing; the people she liked sometimes had strange little quirks.

for example...

Let him be.

Her graceful figure walked for a short while before reaching the third floor, where Shiraishi Zexiu sighed with lingering satisfaction.

"Want to go through it again?" the girl asked, her voice laced with amusement and a hint of teasing.

"There's plenty of time in the future, let's go to sleep first."

"Is the soundproofing good here?" Takanashi Yuko asked sweetly.

"What are you thinking about?" Shiraishi Sawa's expression froze for a moment, then he took a few steps forward and flicked the girl's head with his finger. "Go to sleep after the massage, really go to sleep!"

Then Shiraishi Zexiu pondered, "Hiss~ Although that's not important, I really don't know if the soundproofing is good or not. How about you shake the bed in the room for a bit, and I'll go outside and listen?"

......

Practice has shown that the effect is mediocre; the difference is noticeable on the same floor.

Self-control is something that can be said to exist, but it can also be said to truly not exist.

Salivary amylase needs to be exchanged.

Apart from a few swallowing sounds, it was a quiet night.

--

"Shiraishi, did you send these flowers?"

Suga Wulian, who had just gotten up, stood at the top of the stairs, holding a vase—actually a glass milk bottle—rubbing her eyes and asking in a drowsy voice.

Her long hair stood up casually, yet there was a sense of messy beauty about her.

Warm sunlight streamed in through the window behind her, blending seamlessly with her.

"Ah, I sent them. I went for my morning run this morning and went to the other side of the mountain to take a look. I picked a few of the prettiest camellias. I told you I would keep sending them."

We really don't have any other flowers here, so please make do.

Hidemasa Shiraishizawa and Yuko Takanashi placed the New Year's greeting card into a special envelope, stamped it with a tin seal, and looked up to reply.

"Oh~ I'll put it in my room first, and I'll help you later."

"Okay, so she's still asleep, right?"

"Ah."

--

"Dinner's ready," Shiraishi Kanae said, placing the last bowl of food on the table and addressing the group of people playing cards around the kotatsu.

"Where's Chiyo?" Kanae Shiraishi asked, puzzled, as she noticed there were only three people. "I haven't seen her at all."

"She has trouble getting up in the morning, or in short, she's lazy. She's probably still sleeping right now." Shiraishi Zexiu seized the opportunity, threw all the bad cards in his hand into the deck, and got up to go upstairs.

"I'll go call her."

--

Pushing open the door, the curtains were not yet drawn, and the room was dimly lit by the dim light.

"No wonder he showed no sign of getting up."

She was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. Once inside Chiyo's side, the blankets that Soga Kiriren had been lying in were neatly folded and placed there, unchanged. Chiyo's sleeping posture was always good.

The camellias beside it are as beautiful as if they had been picked that morning.

He took a ribbon out of his pocket.

After finishing what he wanted to do, Shiraishi Sawa walked to the window and pulled back the curtains.

The warm winter sun at midday eagerly filled the entire room, and she lay down on the bed with ease, casting a soft halo of light on the outline of her body.

Chiyo frowned slightly, turned her face to the side, and faced away from the window.

"Fox, wake up! It's almost noon, the sun's already high in the sky."

There was no response at all, but that was expected.

Shiraishi Zexiu sat on the edge of the bed, admiring the flawless pretty face up close.

A graceful neck, prominent collarbones, and full breasts—one can imagine the alluring curves of her body beneath the covers.

Shiraishi Sawah poked her soft cheek. "Get up!"

"I can't get up~"

Her brows furrowed even more, and Chiyo murmured to herself.

"Get up, it's almost lunchtime."

"I can't get up~"

"If we don't get up now, we'll all have to go to elementary school after we finish eating."

"Ah~ Where's my alarm clock?" Chiyo asked as she pulled her arm out from under the covers and covered her face.

Shiraishi Sawa took her phone from the bedside table and checked her alarm clock.

"Didn't you set an alarm?"

“The White Stone Treasure Box,” she said.

“Oh, it’s this. It’s in your house,” Shiraishi Sawa said with a smile.

"I don't want to get up then."

"Here it is, right here. The [White Stone Treasure Box] is right next to you. Tell me, what do you want me to do to get up?" Shiraishi Zexiu, finally understanding the intention, smiled indulgently and asked softly.

"I want to listen to 'One More Time, One More Chance'."

"You don't usually wake up to my singing every morning, do you? No wonder you can get up," Shiraishi Sawah remarked.

"Sing it quickly!" At this moment, Chiyo was completely devoid of her usual shrewdness, resembling a little girl.

"Sing, sing, sing! What's more, what's more, what's more, what's more, what's more, what's more, what's more, what's more, what's more, what's more, what's the pain, what's the pain, what's the pain, what's the pain, what's the pain, what's the pain, what's the meaning, what's the meaning of the heart..."

A voice that wasn't exactly pleasant to listen to drifted between the two people.

Even Shiraishi Sawah felt that this moment was actually quite nice.

At first, I just listened to Chiyo, but later I started singing along myself. My voice was like the sea breeze blowing from the distant coast, carrying the warmth of the morning, refreshing and soothing.

After the song ended, Shiraishi Sawa shook her smooth shoulders, hidden under her sweater, again. "Now you can get up, right? The food won't taste good if it gets cold."

Chiyo sat up, leaned against the headboard, and finally opened her eyes a little.

Shiraishi Sawa took the vase and leaned closer.

"This is me..."

Chiyo seemed oblivious to this, and as Shiraishi Sawa approached, she put her arms around his shoulders and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"You haven't brushed your teeth." Shiraishi Zexiu said this, but he didn't push the girl away and left a kiss on her cheek.

"You dislike me?"

"I don't mind at all. On the contrary, I find Chiyo Ichiriki, who is half asleep, to be adorable."

"How do you know I wasn't pretending to be half asleep?" Chiyo shook her head and said.

"It's not important. What's important is that Chiyo is just too cute." Shiraishi Sawa said naturally, his expression unchanged.
