Still no one paid attention to him. Although he could keep watching, chatting might be more enjoyable, so Shiraishi Sawah chose to break the silence. His tone was leisurely and slow, as gentle as a sea breeze, but one could feel the happiness and joy hidden between his words.

"It's been so long! How have you all been?"

“It’s been less than ten days,” Chiyo looked up from her book and looked helplessly at the equally handsome boy. Her eyes swept over his empty hands, and her tone turned cold. “It’s not as long as you would describe it.”

“You’re not right about that,” Shiraishi Zexiu walked in and casually sat down, tilting his head back so his hair hung in the air. “Foxes live for about ten years, so it’s been about a hundred days since we last saw each other. That’s long enough. I’ve missed you all very much.”

"Am I the only one who feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time?" Shiraishi Zexiu looked disappointed, his voice filled with sorrow.

Unfortunately, neither of the two girls in the room were buying it.

"If you think of 'me' instead of 'us,' I might be a little moved," Chiyo said, not answering the recent question, but looking down at her book.

“Shiraishi wouldn’t miss me, but saying that probably won’t move you.” The calm-faced girl put down her pen, then looked at Shiraishi Zexiu and revealed a smile that was rarely seen by outsiders. “Shiraishi, I miss you too.”

"The president is still the best. Foxes can't be tamed after all. It's so heartbreaking."

"I don't want to be pampered by you."

Chiyo moved the empty vase in front of her to under the table while Shiraishi Sawa was looking for books on the bookshelf. Soga Kirei did the same when she saw this.

But if someone makes a promise and fails to keep it, even if it was just an accidental forgetting, it's enough to make people sad.

He was spinning a silver ring with his left thumb.

When they first got back, the vase was quite dirty, so the two of them cleaned it.

After picking up a copy of "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle," Shiraishi Sawa returned to his seat, read for a few seconds, and then suddenly said, "Did I forget to buy flowers?"

The only noise in the activity room was the sound of the evening breeze rustling the curtains that had been drawn back.

Shiraishi Sawa immediately got up and ran outside.

"How amazing!" In less than a few seconds, his exclamation suddenly came from the doorway.

Then he walked in, holding the bouquets in both hands and looking surprised. "Look, what a coincidence! There are three bouquets of roses and three bouquets of Bai Baihe flowers lying on the ground outside."

He picked up the vase from beside the girl's legs and placed the flowers in it one by one, muttering to himself, "I told you the vase wasn't a gift for you. What if you kick it and break it? You can't afford to pay for it."

"You're lucky." Perhaps it was the scent of roses that improved her mood, but Chiyo felt even more comfortable inside. "Don't forget next time."

"How could this happen? You guys are being ridiculous. The script should be that you guys get furious and angry, and I act like I don't care at all, like I'm a dead pig that doesn't care about boiling water. Then, when you guys are really angry and ignore me, I'll make a grand entrance with flowers. But the script is flawed from the very first scene."

Shiraishi Zexiu shook his head and sighed, his face, which was slumped on the table, was full of frustration and resentment.

"Who cares about that?" Chiyo said, her words contradicting her true feelings, before adding casually, "But I do sometimes think about getting a dog during these hundred days."

"I wanted to remind her, but since she didn't say anything, I was worried that Shiraishi would think I was being petty if I did," Soga Kirei said honestly.

But whether they were arrogant or honest, they were all incredibly cute in Shiraishi Sawa's eyes. He said gently:

"If one day I really forget, please be sure to tell me. If you are unhappy or upset, please tell me."

The evening breeze rustled the curtains, creating a pleasant, soothing sound.

"When it's time to go up, aim for the tallest tower and climb to the top; when it's time to go down, aim for the deepest well and descend to the bottom."

After pondering the sentence again, Shiraishi Sawa looked at the two girls.

"How to Manage a Budget? I thought you were reading novels too, Fox. What brings you to this?"

"Isn't it all your fault?" Chiyo rolled her eyes. "I should have gone home last year. I shouldn't have agreed to try this. There are so many books to read."

She pulled a stack of books from her backpack, all of which were related to business and management.

“These are definitely more useful than textbooks.” Closing “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle,” Shiraishi Sawa picked up a copy and casually flipped through it.

"Baby Dog, you're pretty good at this, right? Watch more, and come help me later." Chiyo seemed to be making a promise that had already been made.

"Where did you hear this rumor?"

“When Mrs. Kuramochi came to my house, she was chatting with my mother and I overheard her talking about this. She said, ‘You’re quite useful.’”

Don't listen to her lies.

"So, will you help or not?"

"As long as those two ladies don't get involved, I'll help." Shiraishi Zexiu nodded, accepting the request. When the time comes, one must step up.

However, this is on the premise that Nao and Kuramochi Mika will not participate. As for the presence of these two, Shiraishi Sawa Hide believes that his training is still insufficient.

"You don't even ask about the time?" Chiyo asked with a half-smile.

"I will definitely go when I have time."

"Shiraishi, take a look at this for me." Soga Kirei pushed what she was writing toward Shiraishi Sawashu.

The document contained the 'Student Council Handover Ceremony Details.' Shiraishi Sawa carefully read through it before looking up and asking, 'I've finished reading it. What's next?'

"Take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be changed. Also, you promised I'd come, right?" Clearly, the second sentence is the key point.

“Don’t worry, Su,” Chiyo said with a smile, “I won’t be able to take over the project until at least spring break, so I won’t have him come during your handover ceremony.”

Then, with a smile, he added, "But other possibilities cannot be ruled out."

“I won’t forget,” Shiraishi Sawah said, picking up a pencil from the side and beginning to refine the details. “I will definitely go then.”

As long as your schedules don't conflict, there won't be a problem.

"You're really busy, aren't you?" Chiyo asked with a half-smile. "What if there's a conflict?"

"Good question, let me think about it." Shiraishi Sawah touched the end of his pencil to his nose and began to ponder.

"I'll just pretend to be stupid and not go. I'll just play with the little birds." After saying this quickly and urgently, Shiraishi Sawah instinctively covered his head.

"You've got a good abacus, but have you considered dismembering me?" It's hard to imagine that those soft, moist lips could utter such cold words.

"Should I choose the upper body or the lower body?" Chiyo pondered.

"President, do you want the upper body or the lower body?" Feeling the other party's scrutiny, Shiraishi Sawa Hide calmly looked at Soga Kirei next to him.

"Can I have them all?" Suga Wulian tilted her head, watching him carefully refine the details for her, and wondered if she should just hand over the rest of the tasks to him.

"...I am not qualified to answer this question." Shiraishi All-Want Zexiu replied weakly, admitting that he could not do it, but he was not qualified.

"Then let's stay alive."

"President, you're still the best. Unlike some 1.7-meter-tall, long-haired, black-haired young ladies who spend Monday afternoons in the High Heels Research Department reading 'How to Manage a Budget' and now swooning over handsome guys with a smile, you're so aloof." After saying this in one breath, Shiraishi Zexiu gasped for breath.

"Let me emphasize one point: the 'something' you mentioned... afraid of being accused of padding the word count... Miss, she wasn't gushing over a crush, but rather thinking about from what angle to dismember the body."

"The chairman said it has to be alive."

"Should I listen to her or her?"

"This time, I stand firmly on Wulian's side, and I want her alive!" Shiraishi Zexiu stood up like a devout believer, clenching his fist with one hand to swear an oath. His expression was so serious that it looked somewhat comical in the context of the surroundings.

Soga Kirei cooperated by turning to Ichiyo Ichisei and giving her a peace sign, though her expression remained icy.

"Shiraishi-kun, you're leaving the club." After lightly clapping his hands, the club president began to abuse his power.

"I'm so sad, so sad that I can only go to my other department. I'll go see what Kuramochi and Takanashi are doing. I wonder if Kuramochi got any information out of them." Shiraishi Sawa said regretfully as he got up.

"Come back and sit down!"

After exchanging a few jokes, the three of them went back to doing their own thing.

Taking a deep breath of the fragrant air, Shiraishi Sawah leisurely turned to the next page of the book.

It turns out that the start of school is something to look forward to, or rather, meeting them is something to look forward to.

Chapter 295 A Crowded Elevator in Winter

“You guys really aren’t being polite at all.” Shiraishi Sawa said, rubbing his sleepy eyes from standing on the tram for too long.

Under the clear winter sky, the tall buildings of Roppongi, and the passing trams, winter buds quietly grow, revealing scattered green oak trees.

Today is January 15th, Saturday, and it is currently 9:37 AM.

"'As long as our schedules don't conflict,' wasn't that what you said?" Chiyo Ichigo said with a faint smile and a relaxed tone, her voice making people feel comfortable.

The white mist quickly dissipated in the air, making people feel the winter chill.

She wore a light gray scarf around her neck, a black JK uniform on her upper body, and a few centimeters of her fair thighs were exposed under the matching pleated skirt, while the rest of her leg skin was covered by black stockings.

Just standing there, she resembled a noble black swan, exuding an overwhelming aura.

Whether it's her clothing style, her full breasts, or her straight legs, it makes you wish your eyes could turn into cameras to capture this moment.

Shiraishi Sawah frowned, staring at the fair skin between the skirt and stockings.

"Fox, can't you show some respect for winter? You'll freeze if you keep doing this."

"The building has been heated all the time, it's fine." The other person seemed completely unconcerned, their smile unchanged.

"Then let's hurry up," Shiraishizawa Hide said, pulling Ichiyo Chiyo's arm and quickening his pace. "If your legs get frostbite, you'll regret it when you're old."

"Are you touched by what I said? Why aren't you saying anything?" Shiraishi Zexiu turned his head and asked with a smile.

"You're going the wrong way." Chiyo's smile was genuine.

"...I'm sorry, I'm guilty."

--

Stepping into a commercial building, the warmth instantly enveloped the two of them, and Chiyo's body relaxed considerably upon entering.

Clearly, the girl wasn't actually unafraid of the cold; she was just deliberately not showing it.

"What a nice weekend, but I have to come and accompany you to class." As they walked towards the elevator on the first floor, there was a long line of people. The two of them didn't want to squeeze in with them and stood outside waiting for the next round.

"You need to know how valuable these courses I'm taking are. According to my parents, those teachers are the kind that you can't even hire if you don't have power or influence. You can learn for free, so you should thank me."

"Thank you, thank you." Shiraishi Sawa's tone was very perfunctory. "Is it possible that some people actually want me to learn more so they can slack off and dump all the trouble on me in subsequent projects?"

“Of course it’s not a possibility,” Chiyo said with a smile, patting Shiraishi Sawah’s shoulder like an elder, showing no sign of guilt. “It’s a certainty, because that’s what I think.”

"I just can't do anything with you." He pressed down on Chiyo's head and gently pushed her forward to express his protest.

"Do you think I should have worn a suit?" Shiraishi Sawa asked thoughtfully, looking at the men in suits around him.

"What do you look like in a suit?"

"Just like a beautiful girl like you looks good in anything, I should look good in a suit too."

"Although you praised me first, I don't intend to just agree with you outright. Wear it to class next time and let me see."
