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

Once again, Yuuko Takanashi, whose meaning was directly represented by Hideaki Shiraishi, simply smiled gently, comfortably enjoying the warmth in the cold wind.

Perhaps it was the warmth from the palm of my hand; I couldn't tell.

Soga Kirei walked to the railing, leaned forward, and looked at Shiraishi Sawa, her eyes seeming to say, 'So, I'm going to jump?'

"Don't jump!" Although the railing was very high, the action was not dangerous at all. Shiraishi Sawa still acted panic and confusion and stepped forward to grab his hand.

She leaned into Shiraishi Zexiu's arms, smiled gently, and met his gaze. Soga Kirei stood up and walked ahead alone.

She took out her phone, pointed it at the ground, and made strange hand gestures, making a series of 'click-click' sounds. Then, Soga Kirei turned around and showed Shiraishi Sawa Hide the results of her photos.

In the photo, Soga Kirei's shadow is holding Shiraishi Sawa's head in one hand, as if holding a chick. The chick's hand is tightly connected to Takanashi Yuuko.

"You're so naughty, Wulian. Shouldn't you have taken those photos of us snuggling together? Why did you take this kind?" Shiraishi Zexiu affectionately flicked Suga Wulian's head with his finger, only lifting a strand of hair, which lingered in the air for a long time due to the evening breeze, turning into a tuft of hair sticking up.

“Because if something can be done by itself, there’s no need to make the shadow do it.” Soga Kirei flipped through the photo album and found a photo of the shadow from last summer when Shiraishi Sawa came to the school as a painter.

"President, didn't you say you were taking pictures of the scenery?"

"Omitted~"

"Have you paid me for the portrait rights to use my image?"

"No, we've never given it to you."

"Yuko, how about you study law in college so I can protect my rights in the future?"

"As long as the school Zexiu goes to has this major, it will be fine."

"Forget it, the law is too tough, you shouldn't study it either. I'm not going to fight for my rights anymore. If I encounter a rogue, I can only accept my fate."

"Who's the scoundrel?" Soga Kirei asked, frowning.

"Anyway, it wasn't me or Youzi. I won't tell you who it was, Kiri, you guess."

"That was one entry."

As the night wind blows, the traffic on the nearby bridge flows endlessly, and the roar of engines and the sound of tires hitting the ground become clear and distinct for a certain moment.

"Whether you're a scoundrel or not, please, please stay by my side forever," he pleaded.

"it is good."

Finally, a photo appeared on Shiraishi Sawa's phone. In the photo, his shadow stood in the middle, and the shadows on both sides tiptoed to kiss his cheek.

He's a winner in the shadow world.

This is probably not true, since 'there's no need to make the shadow do something that can be done on its own'.

Probably.

Back in Odaiba, Shiraishi Sawa followed the two girls to the Odaiba Ferris wheel, which is 115 meters tall, much taller than the one in Yomiuri.

There are two ticket booths at the entrance. One has a slightly long queue, while the other is basically open to anyone who comes in.

"Is there any difference? Which one should we go to?" Shiraishi Sawa asked.

"Are you afraid of heights, Zexiu?" Soga Wulian looked up and asked.

"No," Shiraishi Sawah shook his head in denial. "Would that affect my choice?"

"Let's go to the platoon leader's side. That's a completely transparent carriage, which would be very scary for people with a fear of heights. The ones without people are ordinary colored carriages."

"Then go line up."

The wait wasn't very long, because the Ferris wheel only takes fifteen minutes for one rotation, so the rotation is quite fast. The three of them sat in the completely transparent cabin.

Tourists have their reasons for wanting to ride in this carriage: stepping on the completely transparent floor and watching the ground slowly recede away creates a fantastical, ethereal feeling.

The carriage was a four-seater, with two rows. Instead of three people crammed together, two girls sat on one side, while the larger Shiraishi Sawa Hide sat opposite them.

The sea was slightly dark, with the shimmering moonlight appearing and disappearing on it. The Rainbow Bridge we had just crossed stood nearby, and in the distance, the city lights of Tokyo shone brightly.

Ferris wheels always give people a dreamlike feeling.

The two girls opposite each other stood shoulder to shoulder, each looking at their own transparent wall, admiring the neon lights. However, the gazes they could always feel from the other side sometimes made Takanashi Yuuko feel embarrassed.

Suga Wulian looked at the top of the Ferris wheel she was about to reach, her lips slightly pursed, her tongue leaving a glistening mark on her lips.

"Ask me again, and I'll answer that I like you. I like you, Kiri." Shiraishi Sawa suddenly realized what the other was thinking, and said.

He reached into his sleeve and pulled out a tiny flower, really tiny, only the size of a thumb. It was a wildflower he had picked casually by the roadside—this time he wouldn't be fined.

"Ah!~" Soga Kirei frowned in dissatisfaction, "We haven't even reached the top yet, and I haven't even asked."

"Oh, okay, wait a minute then. I like Yuuko first. Yuuko, I like you." Shiraishi Sawa Hide put the flower back into his sleeve, then produced another flower from his other sleeve and handed it to Takanashi Yuuko.

"Thank you, I like you too." Takanashi Yuuko accepted the small flower and gently placed it in her palm. After hesitating for a few seconds, she glanced guiltily at the Ferris wheel around her, as if worried that someone was watching, and finally got up and kissed Shiraishi Sawa Hide on the cheek.

"Something seems off." Suga Kirei frowned. She felt like she had been cheated out of her. Why did Zexiu fall for Youzi first?

“Something’s not right,” Shiraishi Zexiu asked seriously.

"do not know."

"That's right."

"Oh~"

But it doesn't matter, we'll be at the top of the Ferris wheel soon, and there's no need to wait any longer. "Shiraishi Sawa, I like you."

"Now you can speak."

I like you too.

The girl smiled brightly, stood up, and gave Shiraishi Zexiu a hard kiss on the other cheek.

The carriage passed its highest point and began to descend slowly along the arc.

Wandering through the carriage filled with happiness, Shiraishi Sawa looked at the two girls.

The repeated words weren't just one sentence; Soga Kiriren looked at Takanashi Yuuko, who also looked at her. Finally, she spoke and asked:

"Isn't this good enough? Isn't it?"

This was the question Soga Kirei asked Shiraishi Sawa in Hide's room on her first day back home in Aomori.

Happiness paused for a moment, but only for a moment. Shiraishi Sawa reached out and grabbed Soga Kirei and Takanashi Yuko's hands, his eyes filled with apology, but also with determination.

“It’s great, but I’m greedy and want the best. Even though it’s bad, shameless, and easy for the world to condemn me, I still want to be with the three of you, together.”

"Please forgive me for betraying your love." Shiraishi Zexiu lowered his head and pressed his forehead against the back of their hands.

A soft sigh escaped his lips, carrying the warmth of spring. Shiraishi Zexiu could only clench his fists tighter.

"Okay, then try your best to persuade Yiru. You can tell her that I've half surrendered, Zexiu." The voice was cool, yet warm, dispelling all the coldness.

Shiraishi Sawa looked up cautiously at Soga Kirei, even glancing helplessly at Takanashi Yuuko, trying to get instructions for the next step.

Takanashi Yuuko simply squeezed his fingertips, her smile warm.

Sensing the other person's cautiousness, which was clearly comical, yet somehow made Soga Kiriren feel incredibly happy. She smiled and said:

“I told you I wouldn’t lie to you about important matters, so it’s true. Besides, why would I give it to you if I didn’t have this thought in mind?”

After going over the sentence in his mind again, Shiraishi Sawah was certain of its meaning.

He should have been overjoyed, because his dream of a fulfilling life had taken another big step forward, but at this moment, his heart was filled with apology and pity first.

"Thank you."

--

After getting off the Ferris wheel, Shiraishi Sawa was still in a dazed, unreal state. Odaiba at night was surprisingly warm.

"Where should we go next?" Shiraishi Zexiu asked.

"I'm home," Soga Wulian said, looking up.

"So early today? Last time..." Shiraishi Zexiu realized something was wrong and stopped talking.

“The little bird is here today, so it’s not a good time to do those things.” Soga Kirei shook her head.

"I can go home first, or I can move out and leave the house to you." Although she didn't mean it that way, the way she said those words in the dark night still made her seem pitiful.

"No need, my mother isn't staying at home tomorrow. I'll have Zexiu come to my house, so I'll give it to you today." Soga Kirei was used to sharing Shiraishi Zexiu's time, so she said it quite naturally.

“And the reason for this early start time today,” Soga Kirei looked at Shiraishi Sawashu, at the brand-new, unopened Yatsuhashi box he was carrying, “Yatsuhashi is only at its best for twelve hours. If some people are asleep, they won’t be able to eat it.”

Shiraishi Sawa Hide didn't say anything because he was busy smiling foolishly.

--

After picking up his clothes at the shopping center, Shiraishi Sawa first took Takanashi Yuuko back to Tahara, and then took Soga Kirei back to Azabu-Juban—at the same time, he specifically emphasized clarifying his matter with Soga Yuzuki.

He's in the taxi he hailed now.

"Fox, which house are you in now, Zhong Yutu?"

"No."

"Suginami?"

"What's wrong."

"Wait for me, I'll be right there. I'm carsick, so I won't be looking at my phone!"

"?"

--

At the entrance of the villa, a young girl could be seen standing there in the distance. In the desolate night, with the stars dotting the sky, she appeared somewhat lonely and pitiful.

Shiraishi Zexiu could only urge the driver to go a little faster.

As soon as Chiyo entered, she looked around and knew that this was Shiraishi Sawa Hide – taxis rarely drove up here; it was all high-end private cars.

The taxi slowly stopped in front of her. Before the driver could get out and open the door, the door was hastily opened, and Shiraishi Zexiu stepped out.

His smile was inexplicably radiant. Chiyo tried to restrain herself from looking at him, but she tripped over the car seat in her haste to get out. He didn't care about that and rushed over to hug the girl.

Even the tallest girl, when she's in his arms, can only bury herself in his chest.

"What are you doing?" Chiyo frowned and tried to push Shiraishi Sawa away, but she was not strong enough. She looked up angrily.

As a result, he kissed my face several times, even though I had just finished my skincare routine.
