Through the clean, bright glass, the light drizzle drifted in my view, and the apartment was enveloped in a cocoon woven from the sound of the rain.

Makoto Takahashi lay on the soft sofa in the living room with his hands behind his head, staring blankly at the gloomy sky, unable to calm his mind.

I'm not in the mood to read light novels, and I can't even enjoy the white noise that's perfect for sleeping in.

Nothing special happened, just going to the Tachimichi family home for dinner. It wasn't the first time, but because of the [feeling of being in love], I've been looking forward to it since I woke up this morning.

Am I going to turn into a love-struck idiot?

As Takahashi Makoto thought to himself, he raised his wrist and glanced at the clock; it was a little past 10 a.m.

He suddenly understood why Tachibana Yuki rang the doorbell precisely at midnight on the young lady's birthday.

I have to admit that my attitude was a bit cold at the time, but thankfully Tachikami was gentle enough and willing to accept everything about him.

Let's just go visit the set in the port area.

As this thought popped into his mind, his emotions began to spiral out of control. Makoto Takahashi vaguely realized that this was a very dangerous sign, far exceeding any previous fleeting infatuation.

I had just sat up from the sofa when the doorbell rang.

He walked towards the entrance, opened the door, and immediately saw Xing standing in the hallway, greeting him with a smile.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

She was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and light blue jeans, with a white tote bag slung over her arm and a paper bag full of groceries in her other hand.

The blonde, shoulder-length short hair was styled in a special way, with the straight ends slightly shorter, and the hair parted in the middle to reveal the forehead, giving it a very cool look.

His completely different style from his usual look made Makoto Takahashi's heart flutter.

"How come you have time to come over? Aren't you busy with a lot of things today?"

He made way for her to enter, and Li Jianxing stepped into the foyer, took off her shoes, and casually tossed her handbag over.

"There are two reasons, which one would you like to hear?"

"I want both." Takahashi Makoto answered instinctively, taking the bag and glancing down at it.

Cell phone, charger, wet wipes, wallet, lipstick... she's probably no different from any other girl.

"I'm leaving the cultural festival to Lengzi."

Tachibana Yuki took out white slippers that she had left in the apartment sometime ago, put them on, and then walked towards the kitchen with a paper bag in her arms, saying in a light, airy tone:

"When I woke up this morning, it suddenly occurred to me that it might be nice to occasionally fulfill my duties as a girlfriend, so I brought some ingredients."

Because the young lady hates chores, lunch and cleaning should have been the responsibility of Kashima Reiko, something they decided when they started dating.

However, since Kashima Reiko and Uesugi Maya became friends, Kashima Reiko would ask Uesugi Maya for help when she didn't have time, and this was the first time Tachimi Yuki had done so.

Makoto Takahashi tossed his handbag onto the living room sofa, followed her into the kitchen, and asked curiously, "What about the second one?"

"Hmm~ It's a little embarrassing to talk about."

Yuki placed the paper bag on the cutting board, rolled up the sleeves of her white hoodie, turned her head and revealed a sweet smile: "I thought about it carefully last night, and I still think it's better to stay at Makoto's apartment."

The explanation was too vague, leaving Makoto Takahashi completely confused.

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Ritsuki pursed his lower lip in distress, hesitated for a few seconds, and then explained in a gradually weakening voice:

"The dinner appointment has been cancelled. We'll bring you a change of clothes later."

The overly ambiguous hints made Makoto Takahashi swallow hard.

He hadn't realized the significance of the dinner appointment at first, but now that he thought about it, both Tachimi Yuki and Kashima Reiko had carefully reminded him not to forget, and they knew perfectly well that he never broke his promises.

The kitchen was so quiet that only the sound of rain filled the silence, and my heart was pounding.

Yukimi Takahashi stood frozen in place, tilting her head and giving him a helpless look: "Could you please make me some black tea? I only know how to make simple meals."

"Okay." Takahashi Makoto turned and walked out of the kitchen, went to the living room to get the tea set, and boiled water in the kettle.

While waiting for the water to boil, with nothing else to do, he sat on the sofa, letting the faint sounds coming from the kitchen irritate his sensitive nerves.

A suffocating sense of anticipation was brewing in the air.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang, and Takahashi Makoto suddenly felt very scared. It was Uesugi Maya. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that she had her own apartment key, and he hoped that nothing bad would happen.

He quickly went to the entrance and opened the door. The female driver, who was supposed to be waiting downstairs, handed him a paper bag with both hands. Inside were underwear, pajamas, and a change of clothes. There were no safety supplies in sight.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Makoto Takahashi suddenly had the idea of ​​giving her a bonus, since the driver was on standby in the car every day and it was really hard work.

Let me tell the young lady later.

He closed the door, took a deep breath, brewed some black tea, and went to the kitchen door.

"Where did you put the clothes?" Makoto Takahashi asked, maintaining a calm voice.

"Can you tidy up the bathroom, Cheng-kun?"

Yuki Tachibana focused intently on frying the eggs, her voice even sweeter than usual: "Hmm, just leave them aside. I can clean them up myself later. Makoto-kun, go take a shower first."

The implication in her words was that she had made up her mind.

"Okay." Makoto Takahashi found his voice was even hoarseer than he had imagined. Although he still had many questions in his mind, it was always better to take a shower first.

I went back to the bedroom to find a clean T-shirt and loose trousers. As I walked into the bathroom and hung the paper bag on the hook, I suddenly felt a little regretful that we couldn't shower together.

Oh well, there'll always be another chance.

After Takahashi Makoto finished showering and drying his hair, Tachibana Yuki was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking black tea, his posture as elegant as ever.

On the coffee table was a simple lunch, all of which looked like good energy-boosting foods.

Makoto Takahashi sat down next to her and awkwardly started a conversation: "I thought Hanori would definitely like shoujo manga at her age, but it turns out she prefers light novels."

"Hmm~ Is there something wrong with it?"

Yuki Tachimi swallowed a small sip of black tea, picked up a sandwich with two layers of beef and handed it to him: "Try it, I can't remember the last time I cooked."

His words, seemingly out of fear of being blamed, made Takahashi Makoto glance at him inadvertently.

The collar of her white hooded sweatshirt revealed a lovely pink tinge to her fair skin. The smile on her face seemed somewhat unnatural, suggesting that even the young lady was nervous.

“She likes to read 18+ light novels.” Makoto Takahashi took the sandwich and took a big bite.

She had no interest in the taste at all; her attention was completely drawn to his watery, deep blue eyes.

"It's all just a rebellious phase, you know." Tachimi Yuki smiled and flicked the blonde hair that had fallen to the side of her face.

The two looked into each other's eyes, remained silent for a moment, then she suddenly stood up and walked towards the bathroom: "I'll wait for you in the bedroom."

"Okay," Takahashi Makoto replied.

Although I lack experience, since Tachikami said she'd wait for me, I should at least wait until she goes into the bedroom first, right?

He raised his wrist to check the time; it was past 11:30. This time made him uneasy, because the Uesugi family usually ate lunch at this time.

Maya Uesugi has a spare key to the apartment...

Makoto Takahashi took out his phone, but then worried that sending her a message would be like protesting too much. He opened Line and found that Maya Uesugi had sent him a message while he was taking a shower.

[MAYA: Helping Kashima prepare for the cultural festival's accounting audit; figuring out lunch on her own]

Putting down his phone, Takahashi Makoto ate his lunch with a troubled mind. Before he knew it, a pot of black tea was empty, and he got up and went to his bedroom.

After taking several deep breaths to calm down, I reached out and gently pushed open the door. The scene that came into view was breathtakingly beautiful.

Tachikami Yuki stood with her back to him, bare-backed. Her slender hands reached around her smooth, white back to fasten her exquisite, beautiful sky-blue bra, her short golden hair cascading down her snow-white shoulders.

The full curves peek out from the gaps in the lace, revealing an alluring white sheen. The graceful lines flow smoothly from the slender waist to the pert buttocks, and there is not an ounce of excess fat on the entire body, giving people a stunning feeling.

She glanced back at Makoto Takahashi's reaction, and seeing that he was completely captivated by the lingerie she had carefully chosen, she contentedly snuggled into the covers, nervously inhaling the scent of love.

"Do you like it?" Tachikami Yuki pulled up the blanket, covering her delicate and pretty face, revealing only her beautiful, watery eyes.

I like you.

Makoto Takahashi lay down beside her, reached out and embraced her soft, delicate body from behind, lowered his head and touched the back of her snow-white neck:

"Although Sachi is always very gentle, her unintentional coldness is also very cute. Although she never sympathizes with the weak, she is very protective of her own. I like her very much."

After he shared his thoughts on their relationship, Tachibana Yuki trembled slightly, her flustered tone unusually endearing: "I didn't ask you that."

In this situation, being praised so directly for one's inner qualities can make even the most assertive young lady feel awkward and uncomfortable.

The rain outside the window intensified, and the white noise and pleasant scent of shower gel created a wonderful sense of happiness, which spread throughout the body from the soft, supple feel of a young girl.

Feeling the rising body temperature in his arms, Makoto Takahashi asked softly, "Why did you suddenly make up your mind?"

"I've thought about using cold energy to control you before, but when it actually happened, it wasn't pleasant at all."

Tachikawa Yuki turned to face him, playfully stroking his abs, her expression confirming the truth of her statement:

"It was then that I realized that liking and possessiveness are different things. I never knew this before."

Would it be better to go to your house?

"Hmm~ How should I put it, I feel more like I belong to you here."

"Owned property?"

Makoto Takahashi looked down at her delicate collarbone, where a blush appeared on her flawless, snow-white skin: "Is it really okay to be treated like an object?"

"To be honest, I don't dislike you." Tachimi Yuki raised her face and looked at him with eyes full of love.

Before we knew it, a sweet atmosphere had spread.

They were honest with each other, confirmed their feelings, and shared their true thoughts boldly and without any pretense.

In this ambiguous atmosphere, Makoto Takahashi decided to confess his feelings to her.

"I want the whole of Happiness's life."

"You should cherish it." Tachikami Yuki pulled his hand and pleaded in a coquettish tone.

......

The autumn rain pattered against the air conditioner's outdoor unit, and all sorts of tall buildings outside the window turned into gray silhouettes.

Just a window away, under the warm yellow light of the living room, the black tea steamed with an enticing aroma.

At 5 p.m., Tachimi Yuki sat sideways on the sofa, with her legs crossed over Takahashi Makoto's legs, gently blowing away the steam from the black tea in her hand.
