Soga Kirei also forgot what she wanted to say, staring straight at Shiraishi Zexiu, her eyes sparkling with light and shadow, like a flowing river of stars.

In short, she's very cute.

Shiraishi Sawahide simply lay down on the table, turned his head to the side, and admired the cute face.

The line where the two met on the table became a mirror, and Soga Kirei used a symmetrical movement to lie on the other side.

The conversation among the student council members became indistinct and vague, drifting further and further away from the two of them. The wind outside the gymnasium brushed against her cheek, her long hair swayed gently, falling down her side, and a fragrance that made Shiraishi Sawa Hide feel very comfortable wafted over.

It's hard to tell if time is standing still or flowing faster; it seems like everything has stopped there. Yet, there's also the fear that the sky outside will darken and the ceremony will end in the next second. In short, it's definitely not normal.

It wasn't until Shimizu Yoshiko walked behind Soga Kirei that Shiraishizawa Shusai snapped out of his daze.

The sounds from inside the stadium only reached my ears at this moment.

Now it's Niru Ritsuharu's turn to talk about her achievements. In a little while, she'll be sharing her feelings about getting the position of student council president and her future plans. Shiraishi Sawah had heard her first draft over the previous weekend.

Because of his extensive involvement and familiarity with the student council handover ceremony process, Shiraishi Sawa knew that Shimizu Yoshiko's purpose in coming was to remind Soga Kirei to prepare to participate in the final handover ceremony—the two presidents bowing to each other.

Because she didn't make eye contact with Shiraishi Sawa, Soga Kirei quickly snapped out of her daze, got up, and walked to the steps by the stage.

"...That's all I want to do for now. I like everyone in the first year, and I hope you can help me achieve it in the new year!"

I also hope that President Su will approve! President Su, please believe that I can continue to lead the student council and manage the students of Mingchuan well!

As she finished speaking, Soga Kirei was already standing beside her, and Shiruri Ritsuharu bowed to her with utmost respect.

"Good luck, I'm counting on you, student council." Soga Kiri, who once again made the student council members understand the beauty of her voice, also bowed to Shiruri Ritsuharu.

There was thunderous applause.

She is no longer the president, but simply Soga Kiriren.

"How about it, Shiraishi? How about I show you my gift, you can play with it?" Taichi Oki waved the gift he received in front of Shiraishi Zexiu and showed it off.

After the formal handover of the chairmanship, it was time to distribute the gifts. Shiraishi Sawa was one of the few people present who did not receive a gift—the others were just visitors.

However, that was the original plan, so Shiraishi Sawa didn't care. He tore open the second pack of children's cheese sticks and ate one in one bite.

"Try this, it's really addictive." Completely ignoring the gift in Taichi Oki's hand, Hideaki Shiraishi handed him one.

The cheese sticks are slightly sour, soft and chewy, and the jelly-like texture and taste are both very good.

"Don't eat too much," Taichi Oki said without ceremony, taking the food and eating it. "There's a proper dinner later, which is for you. But this tastes really good. Hey, where's the food?"

"I understand." That's why there wasn't much food on the table this time, definitely not enough to fill anyone's stomach.

Shiraishi Sawa found Soga Kirei, who was taking pictures with other classmates, and walked over to her.

"Mist Lotus, try this, it's quite delicious." Slightly furtive, like a thief, Shiraishi Zexiu pulled the remaining two cheese sticks from his pocket.

Five sticks in one pack? That's so stingy.

When I come across something delicious, I want to share it with people I like, because I always feel it would be such a shame if they couldn't have it.

With his back to everyone, Shiraishi Sawah opened the packaging and held it out in front of the girl.

Her pretty face, which hadn't shown a smile for a moment in dozens of photos, now carried a soft, gentle laugh. Her mouth was slightly open, and unlike the boys, she didn't bite off a piece of cheese in a rough, one-bite-at-a-time manner. Instead, she took a small bite and made a small notch in the round cheese.

If you look closely, you can even see the neat shape of the teeth.

"Is it tasty?"

"Okay, you eat too." Soga Kirei stretched the chipped cheese stick upwards as much as possible, so that the chipped part became two.

"You can eat more." But Shiraishi Zexiu only ate such a small bite, which seemed a bit of a contrast, so Soga Kiriren said with a smile.

"I just ate some. I knew it was delicious, so I brought it for you. You can have both of these packs. There are only five in total this time. I should have known better than to give one to Minister Oki."

Next time I'll buy a whole bunch secretly, and we'll eat our fill together.

"Good~"

At Soga no Ureshi's pace, before she had even finished the second one, the student council was already preparing to head out for dinner.

The four people no longer led the way but were at the back of the group, with Shiratsuyu Ritsuharu and the new vice president leading the way.

"It's over." The sentimental Shimizu Miko, her eyes slightly red, seemed out of place with her robust physique. She sighed deeply and said with emotion.

Because of Soga Kirei's speech patterns, her contributions to the student council even surpassed those of Soga Kirei.

"Let's study hard for the next year, Miko, let's get into Osaka University together!" Osaka University is their goal.

"Mist Lotus, speaking of university, what about you? Where is your goal?" Shiraishi Zexiu asked curiously.

"Tokyo University? If I fail the entrance exam, I'll go to Keio University." The girl answered without a moment's thought. For her, failing the entrance exam for the University of Tokyo could indeed be described as a 'mistake'.

"Why these two institutions?"

"Zexiu, you're going to stay in Tokyo for another two years. I don't want to leave Tokyo during my freshman year." The reason was simple and straightforward, requiring no thought.

"Silly girl," Shiraishi Zexiu affectionately patted her head, the soft strands of hair swirling in his palm, tickling him just like the feeling in his heart. "University lasts at least four years. If I have to get into a university outside of university by then, it will be troublesome again."

Besides, Japan is so small; flights to anywhere only take two hours, so it's not a big deal.

"I don't want to be too far away, it would be difficult to meet." At this moment, she would be stubborn, "Zexiu, what about you? Where are you going to university?"

"I haven't decided yet," unlike the other person who answered without hesitation, Shiraishi Sawa thought for a long time before finally saying, "I don't have a particular job or a particular school. I'm fine anywhere."

"But only now. When I go to college, I will definitely have a school I really like," Shiraishi Sawa said with a confident smile.

"why."

"Love me, love my dog. When someone I like goes to a university, that university becomes the university I like."

“Okay, I and I will definitely go to different universities.” Suga Wulian looked up, a sly glint in her eyes.

"..."

"I'll let you in on a secret, but I'm still going to the university you're at," Shiraishi Zexiu leaned down and whispered.

"Why?" Even though they were already so familiar with each other, and she felt like she could recognize every cell in the other person's body, looking at her up close still made Suga Wulian feel excited and happy.

"Do you want to hear the nice-sounding truth, or just the truth?"

"Let's start with the nice-sounding truth."

"Because the president is just too well-behaved and cute—let me clarify, this is the absolute truth without any 'pleasant' embellishment, it's really too real."

Secondly, if we were face-to-face, we would immediately resort to violence, but since we go to different schools, I can infuriate her to no end and she can't do anything about it.

Moreover, she's the only daughter in her family, so university will definitely be even busier than high school; she might be out all day long.

As a girl, it's really too difficult to take on all this so early. Shiraishi Sawa is worried about entering Chiyo University.

After all, it's impossible for someone to find a new partner to rely on within a few years of entering the family, and then transfer all the family pressure onto him, ultimately leaving him to enjoy a happy university life while his poor, simple-minded partner bears all the burdens.

Your partner, who's a bit simple-minded, doesn't need to worry about which university to choose anymore, since they're all the same anyway.

Of course not.

Right?

Shiraishi Sawa Hidetoshi is now worried about Kuramochi Sakura's university life.

“Ichiru is definitely not obedient or cute at all.” Soga Kirei nodded in agreement with the first half of Shiraishi Sawa’s statement.

"And the truth?"

"Because the president is just too cute and well-behaved." Shiraishi Sawa said this only once before stopping abruptly, and the conversation between the two suddenly came to a halt.

"I'll show it off to everyone." The girl, who was still waiting for the unpleasant reason to come out, finally reacted. Her lips twitched, she smiled and then stopped, finally answering in a slightly higher voice.

“It’s alright, because the fox can’t refute that.” Shiraishi Zexiu nodded without changing his expression, while considering a new way to commit suicide.

"Where are the little birds swimming?" Soga Kirei asked.

"Shh—, Takanashi is the easiest to fool. She's in the same year as me. I'll definitely kidnap her and sell her to someone from my school, so don't even think about it."

"After university, can I not go out to work?" Soga Kirei asked softly, her white fingers touching Shiraishi Zexiu's arm.

"I find working outside very distressing."

“Of course, no problem.” Shiraishi Zexiu nodded. “I am a very smart person, and I also have more shortcuts than others. I dare not make any big promises, but these small wishes can definitely be fulfilled.”

"Mist Lotus, do you want to be a housewife? Then you'd better start learning how to cook and do housework properly."

"No, I want to work on a computer like my mother does at home, or I want to be a social media creator like Yuko Takanashi." As long as it's not face-to-face, the girl is quite talkative when she wants to communicate through electronic media.

"Great idea, keep it up! Money isn't that important; what matters most to me has always been happiness."

If he wanted traffic and attention, Shiraishi Sawa could have played a child prodigy from a young age, but in reality, he played every age very well—definitely not because he was childish himself.

"Just get close to Zexiu, the closer you get, the happier you'll be."

“I want to work every day when Zexiu isn’t home, and when he comes home I’ll stick to him and do everything together, so we don’t have to go out to play.”

"It suddenly occurred to me that if this continues, I'll become a shut-in in the future," said Shiraishi Sawa. "Every morning I'll dawdle on my way to work, and after get off work I'll rush home without a moment's rest."

"I'm doomed. People like me aren't liked by society."

Japanese office workers have an exaggerated number of social engagements, sometimes even every day.

"But I love it so much." Soga Kirei looked up and smiled happily, her smile even cleaner and fresher than the snow that had just fallen from the top of Mount Fuji.

“Society is nothing. Whether it likes me or not, I am a staunch antisocial person,” said Shiraishi Antisocial Zexiu.

"But wouldn't this become too bland? Wouldn't... I start to dislike it?" With her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, Suwo Wulian fell into thought, somewhat worried.

She had forgotten how her mother and father got along, but it turned out that she was the one who got divorced.

"This is something you don't know. In my experience as a top chef, the lighter the dish, the tastier it is. The flavor may not be strong, but when you savor it carefully, it has an indescribable deliciousness and comfort."

Dishes that are heavily oiled and spicy may look appetizing and be eaten quickly, but afterwards you may feel disappointed and not want to eat them again.

So how could you stop liking it? You'd crave it more and more, and become increasingly addicted.

"That's good, but it's okay if I'm just plain-minded, there's still Takanashi."

"I see."

Shiraishi Sawa held her hand, allowing the different temperatures of their palms to pass between them and then converge.

He is also looking forward to the future.

"Hey—Shiraishi, hurry up, you guys are too slow—"
