They all have hidden attributes!

Seeing Takahashi Makoto's agitated expression, Tachibana Yuki hugged his head and gently buried it against her chest to comfort him.

"Chengjun, I told you I wouldn't refuse your request. As for Ryoko, if you object, I'll let her go back to her room to sleep, even though I'll be a little unhappy about it."

"Why are you unhappy?" Takahashi Makoto asked in a muffled voice.

"Hmm...because I don't want to lose to Xiaoye."

Li Jianyu stroked his hair and sighed softly, "Before you came to the rehearsal room, it was Xiaoye who provoked me first, so I made a bet with her and asked Lengzi to prove it."

Kashima Reiko can prove many things, such as the conflict between her idealistic view of love and worldly values, and after Takahashi Makoto and Tachimi Yuki's first experience, Uesugi Maya wonders if he is still worth her continuing to fight for.

As long as Makoto Takahashi rejected Reiko Kashima and insisted on pursuing a deep and genuine relationship, Maya Uesugi would not give up. However, she did not expect that the so-called first experience was a scam.

In Tachimi Yuki’s view, rather than letting Uesugi Maya and Shiraishi Junko seduce Takahashi Makoto, it would be better to take the initiative and let Kashima Reiko seize the advantage.

As if afraid that Takahashi Makoto would leave him, Tachibana Yuki hugged him tightly and slowly recounted the whole story.

Amidst the soft, delicate floral fragrance, Makoto Takahashi's mood gradually calmed down.

"Don't do things like that again. I just feel like you don't care enough about our relationship."

He pushed Tachibana away, and before him, her flawless, snow-white skin flushed a beautiful pink.

"Reiko cares a lot about your feelings. It's not easy to resign from Lijian's company."

Yuki Tachibana pushed Makoto Takahashi down, resting her head on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat: "What do you think we should do, Makoto-kun?"

"Can't we let Reiko do what she likes?" Takahashi Makoto asked.

“I guessed you would say that, so I decided to give her a long vacation.”

"I still hate your probing."

"Are you still angry?"

Tachikami came up above him, and after a moment of eye contact, he showed a troubled expression: "I guess so. It was my fault for making this decision with Sayo on my own. I didn't respect your opinion."

"fortunate--"

Just as Takahashi Makoto was about to speak, Tachibana Yuki raised her index finger to his lips, tilted her head slightly, and smiled sweetly, saying, "Then I'll make it up to you. I was also very unhappy to lose to Saya."

After saying that, she pulled the thin blanket over her head and slid it down. Takahashi Makoto helplessly reached under the blanket and stroked her smooth, blonde hair.

It was sunny on March 8.

Makoto Takahashi woke up feeling blissfully embraced. He opened his eyes to find Yuki Tachimi lying beside him in light summer clothes, her deep blue eyes gazing tenderly at him.

"Greetings, Your Excellency,"

She brushed aside the short blonde hair that fell across her face, leaned closer, and gently kissed her cheek: "I'm going back to Tokyo. Reiko will stay, but she's on vacation and might not be able to take good care of you."

"I'm not a cripple." Makoto Takahashi yawned lazily.

"Okay~ I'll be going now."

"I send you."

After casually putting on some clothes, Makoto Takahashi and Yuki Tachimi, who was dressed neatly, went downstairs together and walked towards the entrance of the private beach in the morning sunlight.

Melodious birdsong drifted from the dense foliage on both sides of the tree-lined road, and breathing in the clean air, one's mood naturally became pleasant.

"Chengjun, you must remember to think of me every day."

After getting into the car, Tachibana Yuki grabbed Takahashi Makoto's wrist and said, "I've already apologized for what happened last night, so you can't hold it against me anymore."

"Don't do that again."

"Okay, don't worry, I won't do anything that will make Cheng-kun hate me."

"Be careful on the road."

"Remember to go back to Tokyo soon!"

After closing the car door and watching the convoy drive away along the road, Takahashi Makoto stretched lazily before turning around and returning along the same route he had come from.

Back at the villa, in the first-floor dining room, everyone sat around the dining table eating breakfast.

Breakfast was a self-service sandwich, with sliced ​​toast, tomato slices, lettuce, bacon, fried eggs... all sorts of ingredients were stacked on a plate, with family-sized milk and disposable paper cups next to it.

Upon seeing him enter, Shiraishi Junka and Kashima Reiko stood up simultaneously, exchanged a glance, and then sat down together.

Makoto Takahashi pulled out a chair and sat down next to Maya Uesugi, asking her, "Are you happy after winning?"

"ordinary."

"I am not happy."

Hearing this, Uesugi Maya frowned slightly and looked at him with a questioning gaze: "I'm happy for you that you stuck to your principles."

"Forget it, I can't explain it to you."

Makoto Takahashi took the paper cup from Junko Shiraishi, swallowed a mouthful of milk, and then took the sandwich that Reiko Kashima had assembled with his other hand, taking a bite: "What are the plans for today?"

"I need to rest; I have a lot to think about."

"Then we won't rehearse."

"What are you trying to say?" Uesugi Maya asked indifferently.

"Apologize to Leng Zi."

"..."

Uesugi Maya didn't say anything, and the conversation abruptly ended.

Makoto Takahashi turned his head to look at her, but she continued eating her breakfast without saying a word, as if she hadn't heard him.

The air suddenly froze. Seeing the two locked in a stalemate, Hanakawa Kaori fearfully grabbed the hem of Shiraishi Junka's clothes beside her. Nekoya Hina was also somewhat at a loss when she saw Takahashi Makoto initiate a conflict with Uesugi Maya.

“I’m fine,” Kashima Reiko interjected.

She only learned this morning what the purpose of Ritsuki's arrangement last night was.

"Maya." Takahashi Makoto patiently prepared to reason with her.

"Let me think about it and I'll give you an answer later." Uesugi Maya finished the last bite of her sandwich, got up, and walked out of the restaurant.

Chapter 110 Floating on the Sea (Seeking monthly votes!)

The undulating waves pushed aside the swimming ring, and under the dazzling summer sun, Makoto Takahashi lay on the ring with his eyes closed, drifting with the current.

"Acheng, what happened between you and Uesugi last night?"

Nekoya Hina lay on the floating boat, gliding her hands through the seawater, following beside him.

Well, how should I put it?

Makoto Takahashi opened his eyes, looked at the azure sky, and couldn't quite grasp what was on his mind: "It's probably just the kind of testing between lovers, the adjustment period during the ambiguous stage, or something like that?"

"What does this have to do with Reiko?" Nekoya Hina asked, tilting her head in confusion.

“It’s complicated. Ask me again when you’re a little older.” As he spoke, Makoto Takahashi glanced at her sideways.

Her soaked chestnut hair clung to her skin, water droplets glistening in the sunlight, and her white bikini swimsuit pressed against her body offered no cushioning between it and the floating boat.

Is this the reason why Nekoya Hina is always shut out by Hanakawa Kaori?

Speaking of being chubby, even the younger Hanakawa Kaori seems to be fuller than Nekoya Hina and Kashima Reiko, though it could also be due to the more pronounced curves of her one-piece swimsuit.

Takahashi Makoto thought to himself, then closed his eyes again and said slowly, "Never mind, I'll tell you anyway."

"Hey, Cheng! What's with that 'you've got no hope' look on your face?!"

Hina Nekoya angrily slapped the surface of the sea, feeling offended: "Don't make that pathetic face, damn it, damn it."

"Do you want to hear more?" Takahashi Makoto asked.

"Yes!" Nekoya Hina nodded emphatically, rolled over and lay on her back on the floating boat, grabbing his swim ring with her hands to prevent herself from being swept away by the waves.

"As expected, I still feel like I can't explain it to you clearly." Takahashi Makoto sighed softly.

"Am I some kind of idiot?"

"I suppose, thinking about it carefully, the young lady is quite clever. She achieves multiple benefits at once, and she doesn't lose out no matter what."

Hearing him say that, Nekoya Hina flipped over and dived into the sea, raising her hand to try and overturn Takahashi Makoto's swim ring: "Don't call me stupid again!"

What's going on? It's so heavy, I can't flip it over at all.

She blinked in surprise, then humiliatedly climbed back onto the floating boat to sunbathe.

The atmosphere calmed down, with only the calls of unknown seabirds and the sound of waves crashing. Before long, the swimming rings and floating boats were carried back to the beach by the waves.

Hanakawa Kaori is building sand sculptures on the beach, while in the shade under a parasol, Shiraishi Junko sets up her easel and drinks orange juice through a straw.

Where is Leng Zi?

Makoto Takahashi straightened up and looked at Hanakawa Kaori, who was squatting on the beach in a one-piece swimsuit, her hands constantly tidying up the castle walls.

"I was just called away by Uesugi-senpai. It seems we're going to buy lunch ingredients together."

"Huh?" Nekoya Hina's eyes widened, clearly not believing this explanation.

Maya Uesugi prefers to act alone and would never consider the opinions of anyone other than Makoto Takahashi when buying groceries.

"I don't believe it either."

Hanakawa Kaori raised her face and looked at Takahashi Makoto, her crystal-clear purple eyes reflecting the sunlight: "Brother, the band won't disband, will it? Last night I saw Reiko-senpai standing in front of Uesugi-senpai's door, looking very pitiful."

"will not."

"But I have no idea what happened."

Seeing her head drooping and her voice sounding listless, Makoto Takahashi crouched down and reached out to pat Hanakawa Kaori's head.

"Did it remind you of something unpleasant?"

"It's alright, Mom and Dad didn't really get divorced."

In her view, the band's current state is on the verge of collapse due to a quarrel between the two patriarchs, and there is nothing she can do about it.

"Acheng, do you think Uesugi will apologize?"

Hina Nekoya scratched the back of her head in distress, her face full of distrust: "Last time you asked her to apologize to me, but she wouldn't say a word. I don't know what happened this time, but I don't think we can continue like this."

She witnessed the band's intense rehearsal yesterday while Takahashi Makoto was away; the atmosphere was even more oppressive than the badminton club's training camp.
