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

The wind blows across the lake, and the small boat, now without Shiraishi Zexiu's control, sits alone between heaven and earth, drifting aimlessly. Unlike its confusion, everyone on the boat clearly knows their future, hence their radiant smiles.

Perhaps Kuramochi Sakura was just as lost as the boat, but at least for this moment, her smile was just as radiant.

The clouds surged rapidly, and faint exclamations came from the shore. The boat began to move—a strong wind had arrived.

"Baby dog, get up!" Chiyo grabbed Shiraishi Sawa's hand with a look of surprise and tried to pull him up, but she seemed to have forgotten Shiraishi Sawa's weight and strength. Instead of being pulled up, she fell down herself.

The silky texture of the long dress was nothing compared to the girl's skin. Shiraishi Zexiu opened his eyes and looked at the pretty face so close to his face. He grabbed the soft flesh of her cheeks with both hands.

Quirky and mischievous.

"After today, you are mine."

A large pink cherry blossom, carried by a strong wind from a distant shore, traveled thousands of miles to this place and landed on Shiraishi Sawa's lips.

Chiyo kissed him through the cherry blossoms.

That would be best.

Chapter 324 The depths of happiness are you all.

The boat slowly approached the shore, and the group returned to land.

A strong wind blew, ruffling the girl's long hair, which spread like black water. The fabric of her long skirt clung tightly to her legs, revealing alluring, smooth curves that stirred the imagination.

The hairstyle that Shiraishi Sawa had carefully styled with hairspray in the morning was blown out of control by the wind, so he simply tousled it all and let it grow wildly, creating a few horns.

Cherry blossom snow.

The cherry blossoms fell heavily from the branches, showering down on the ground, the water, and the shoulders of passersby, fluttering like snowflakes. Everyone stopped to admire this rare sight.

"They're so clueless," Shiraishi Sawah whispered to the girls. "Walking through the cherry blossoms during a blizzard is the most breathtaking thing. The cherry blossoms in Aomori are just as beautiful as these, I know from experience!"

So the group strolled among the cherry blossoms, the rich fragrance wafting in from all directions, filling everyone's nostrils.

Their beauty and youth added even more charm to the scene.

Back at the cherry blossom viewing spot, the picnic mat was covered with cherry blossoms. No one spent too much time cleaning it up; they simply swept it a few times, cleared a space, took off their shoes, and the five of them sat cross-legged on it.

Hideaki Shiraishi took the food-filled lunchboxes out of the basket as if counting his treasures, arranged them neatly, and also brought himself a bottle of sake, as well as drinks for the girls.

"This contains sushi, sandwiches, grilled meat, and this big pot of homemade chicken soup..."

"If there's not enough food, go rent a barbecue grill and ingredients, and I'll grill it for you."

"Shiraishi-kun, do you think the four of us can eat as much as you? We can't even finish this much, okay?"

Kuramochi Sakura looked at the dazzling array of lunch boxes and exclaimed that even she, a girl who loves to eat many kinds of food, was amazed by the variety.

“It’s alright,” Shiraishi Sawa said with a smile. He picked up a piece of sushi, held it in his hand, and then whistled at the pigeons in the tree that were watching them. “Look.”

The pigeon glanced at it, then flew down without hesitation, perched on Shiraishi Zexiu's arm, and began pecking at the rice.

"Impressive, right?"

"Remember to wash your hands," Chiyo commented.

--

Blowing away the cherry blossom petals that had fallen onto the surface of the sake, Shiraishi Sawa took a small sip, the aroma of the sake rising from within, colliding with the fragrance of cherry blossoms in his nasal cavity.

We've almost finished the main meals we brought; what's left are snacks and fruits that we can eat anytime.

Seeing that Shiraishi Sawah had put the wine glass back on the ground, Takanashi Yuko took an orange from the fruit basket closest to her and handed it to Shiraishi Sawah.

"What are we doing this afternoon?" The venue also provided sturdy cardboard boxes that could be used as tables. Chiyo leaned against an extra one, squinting slightly as she asked, "Going to the museum or the zoo?"

She felt a little sleepy after lunch because she hadn't slept the night before.

Sometimes, the longing that keeps us tossing and turning at night is mutual.

"Of course we should take photos to commemorate this moment. Let's take some photos together this afternoon," Shiraishi Sawa suggested decisively, not forgetting the purpose of his trip.

Having peeled the orange and removed all the fine fibers, Shiraishi Sawa returned it to Takanashi Yuko.

"No, Shiraishi, this is for you." Looking at the delicate orange, Takanashi Yuuko hesitated for half a second before speaking.

"No need, you eat it. I have three more here. They must be for me," Shiraishi Sawa said with a smile. After Takanashi Yuko finished speaking, the other three girls each handed him an orange.

You're so good to yourself!

"Don't play dumb, peel it properly. I don't like eating white threads," Chiyo said with a blunt laugh.

After peeling four oranges, my fingernails were already a little yellow. When I brought them to my nose, the aroma of oranges was very strong.

"I'm going to wash my hands, and we'll take pictures when I come back."

--

Taking the DSLR camera that Chiyo had brought from home, Shiraishi Sawa handed it directly to Kuramochi Sakura. Seeing her bewildered expression, Shiraishi Sawa patted her shoulder:

"Kuramochi-san, could you please take some photos for us?"

"?" Kuramochi Sakura's confusion was almost overflowing from Ueno Park.

"Shiraishi-kun, you didn't trick me into coming here just to take pictures of you and the others, did you?"

Kuramochi Sakura suddenly felt the pain that Shiraishi Sawa had felt when she tricked him into coming to Aomori.

"How could that be?" Shiraishi Sawa said guiltily. "Of course not."

"Okay, I'll take pictures of you girls first, and then you can take pictures of us, okay? Please!" If all else fails, we'll have to ask a passerby, but that would be a bit awkward—especially for the girls.

Kuramochi Sakura rolled her eyes at him, then sighed in self-pity. Her feelings, which she had no way to convey or could not convey, could only remain buried in her heart.

She took the DSLR camera from Shiraishi Sawa, turned it on, fiddled with it for a bit, and said:

"I'm not very good at using it, so I don't know if I can take good pictures."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can take pictures. Oh, and don't photograph other people... or animals." Shiraishi Sawa suddenly remembered the prefix 'no other living creatures'.

Damn system!

Fortunately, the viewing spots here are expensive to rent, so there are not many people here. The girls were led by Shiraishi Sawa to go deeper into the cherry blossom forest.

“If it were anyone else, I would never dare to follow him in, because I’m afraid he might have ulterior motives,” Chiyo sighed and followed behind.

"But it is me after all." Shiraishi Zexiu patted his chest and said with a hint of pride.

"Yes, because it's you, I'm worried that if we come in with you, you might try to do something to us."

"...I only lust after your bodies...and the photos I take. Okay, I do lust after your bodies, but not to the point of doing it in a place like this." Shiraishi Sawah made no attempt to hide his ambition.

"How disgusting!" Kuramochi Sakura commented, arms crossed.

"Give me back the slippers I prepared for you." Shiraishi Zexiu turned around and glared at the girl who had come in wearing high heels. He was holding the shoes in his hand. The slippers that Shiraishi Zexiu had prepared for them were the ones he had prepared for them.

"No way! Do you still want me to take your pictures?!" Kuramochi Sakura glared back.

"I think so, indeed, Miss Kuramochi, you are right, I am disgusted." A true man can bend and stretch, and will never hesitate when he needs to follow his heart.

At most, we'll find a chance to make up for this loss later!

Finally, we arrived at a secluded place. Apart from some birds perched in the trees, other animals were rarely seen.

"Tell me, how do you want to take the photos?" Kuramochi Sakura asked, taking the camera and looking at the four people in front of her.

"Four people holding hands!" Shiraishi Sawa shouted brightly.

After the loud shout, there was an unusual silence. The four girls stared at Shiraishi Sawa without saying a word, making the thick-skinned boy almost embarrassed.

Shiraishi Zexiu scratched his head and waved his hand shyly, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm a little shy."

"I find it hard to believe that someone like you has any sense of shame?" Chiyo seemed to be looking at a hopeless person.

Soga Kiriren and Kuramochi Sakura nodded in tacit agreement. Takanashi Yuuko put her hands on her chest, looked left and right, and seemed a little lost.

"So you tricked us into coming here just to fulfill your own wish for ultimate fulfillment?" Chiyo's eyes narrowed dangerously. She had been thinking about how to get past her parents, the biggest hurdle in her life.

She would be very disappointed if Shiraishi Sawa Hide didn't put any effort into it.

"I won't film."

"I'll explain it to you later, because there's no way to explain it clearly now." Shiraishi Sawa knew what Ichiyo was thinking, and he said with a smile.

"This is the key to solving your parents' problems, Fox. Trust me, once we're together, I'll tell you everything about me, everything about me."

When Chiyo met his gaze, she felt the confidence and clarity in his eyes. He wasn't lying to her; he always managed to do some strange things, yet he possessed unique abilities.

Why didn't you say so before?

“If I tell you, I’ll be arrested and investigated.” Shiraishi Zexiu raised an eyebrow.

"I'll trust you one last time, take the picture."

Shiraishi Sawa looked at Soga Kirei and Takanashi Yuko. Takanashi Yuko immediately nodded to indicate that there was no problem, and Soga Kirei hesitated for a moment before also nodding.

Only Kuramochi Sakura looked at Shiraishi Sawa Hide with the same gaze as before, as if she were looking at 'scum'.

The four people stood in the positions of Chiyo Ichiriki, Hideaki Shiraishi, Kiren Soga, and Yuko Takanashi, and their hands were clasped together.

"Take the pictures quickly, take the pictures quickly," Shiraishi Zexiu urged. "Don't worry about whether they look good or not."

"No way!" Unfortunately, Shiraishi Sawa's suggestion was rejected. Even at a time like this, the girls looked beautiful in their photos.

"Chiyo, move over a bit. Can you even smile now? Forget it, your smile is too ugly. Suga, you and Yuuko, move over a bit."

"Crack!"

[The system determined that Yuko Takanashi and Chiyo Ichiriki's hands were not clasped together; the attempt was unsuccessful.]

?

Damn system!

"Wait a minute, there's one more thing. Chiyo, could you and Yuuko hold hands and form a circle? It would be so much more artistic, please!"

After gazing at Shiraishi Sawa for a long time, Ichiyo sighed and nodded.

"I've kept all these accounts in mind, and I'll settle them with you later."

"That will have to wait until later." Suga Wulian blurted out unconsciously, but realizing that it wasn't right to say it like that, she lowered her head and looked at the ground, her lips twitching uncontrollably.

Fortunately, it wasn't Soga Kirei and Ichiryu Chiyo standing on the outermost two sides, otherwise, just based on that sentence alone, the difficulty of holding hands would have increased exponentially.

"I really can't think of a good way to take this photo. Just stand anywhere, someone has to have their back to the camera. Shiraishi, you're the one."
