They all have hidden attributes!

Tachibana Yuki's slender fingers traced across his chest, stroked his cheek, and gently pushed him away with a sigh:

"Since you say so, I have no choice but to agree."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and brushed her golden hair back from her forehead, instantly transforming her pure and lovely face into a cool and handsome one: "This is the first time, even if Xiaoye doesn't agree, I've already made concessions."

The entire spring break will last about two weeks.

As the heiress of a conglomerate and the sole heir, it is commendable that Tatsumi Yuki is willing to spend this time repairing relationships.

"A-Ye is very patient with you, she will agree."

Makoto Takahashi spoke up for Maya Uesugi in a gentle tone, but Yuki Tachimi, staring at his smiling face, still had a somewhat gloomy expression:

"You're all talk. Xiaoye's patience is only because she wants you and is going against me."

"Not entirely."

"It doesn't matter what, I just promised you anyway."

Tachikawa Yuki turned his head to look at the street scene outside the car window and happened to see artificial snow being made in the nearby square: "Don't get physical with the cat house unless it's necessary, don't put your arms around each other."

"Why are you suddenly bringing up Hina?" Makoto Takahashi asked, amused.

Rachimaki kicked him in a fit of pique.

It wasn't that she was jealous for no reason, but the fact that he didn't want Nekoya Hina and Hanakawa Kaori and insisted on helping Uesugi Maya made the young lady not happy at all.

This is his second Valentine's Day, yet he cares so much about Uesugi Maya.

Since Tachikawa had just agreed to his request, he couldn't show any annoyance. After thinking it over, he could only warn him to keep his distance from Nekoya Hina.

“Hina and I are best buddies,” Takahashi Makoto said seriously.

Seeing his serious expression, Xing's annoyance subsided. She then looked at her slender fingers and still felt that they were lacking in jewelry.

What's the point of sending a song?

Why not prepare some jewelry, even something like four-leaf clovers like in light novels?

"Cheng-kun, you have to give me your bass when the time comes."

“Okay.” Makoto Takahashi gently stroked her blonde hair.

Upon arriving at the company located in the port area, while Tachibana Yuki was having breakfast, Takahashi Makoto sat at his desk and began to organize his work from before the new year.

It's nothing more than year-end summaries, annual reports, and planning for next year's projects. But Lijianjia is involved in all walks of life, and with such a large business, there is naturally a lot of work to handle.

Fortunately, he possesses extraordinary wisdom, or more accurately, the skill of "thinker," but the name doesn't matter as long as it benefits his work.

When upgrading attributes, some assistance cards have a chance to gain new skills. Even if you haven't checked them for a long time, you can still find some business-related skills when you need them.

"black tea."

A calm voice came from beside me, and a steaming cup of black tea was brought to my side.

Makoto Takahashi raised his face and met the gaze of Reiko Kashima's beautiful emerald-green eyes. He put his arm around her waist and his hand naturally moved up to her thigh.

The maid is very professional and skilled at following you silently. What's the difference between deliberately making a sound and directly saying "I miss you, I'm a little lonely"?

Perhaps because I didn't give him the proper gift last night, I kept watching Makoto Takahashi and Yuki Tachimi being affectionate on the way here. And tonight is a Christmas party, so I don't have time to be alone with him.

"Is there any event being held at the park we passed on the way here?" Takahashi Makoto asked casually, picking up his teacup with his other hand.

"Christmas markets are similar marketing events to summer festivals."

"Are there fireworks?"

“Maybe.” Kashima Reiko glanced furtively at the young lady who was eating breakfast, then stopped her hand as she tried to slip it under her clothes, giving her a warning look.

This is the office, and she's still working; she has to stay alert.

"I'm going to the branch family later, will you come with me?" Takahashi Makoto swallowed a mouthful of black tea and stared intently at the computer screen.

Kashima Reiko's usually calm eyes revealed a hint of joy as she left, her expression seemingly serene.

When you're out shopping, it seems like you don't have time to change clothes at night.

With no other option, the maid decided to change her clothes and secretly left her post.

By the time Makoto Takahashi had finished most of his work from the past week, it was already 3 p.m.

I lift my face and gaze out the window at Tokyo, relaxing my eyes. Snowflakes are falling from the sky again, adorning the surrounding skyscrapers.

"Lengzi, let's go."

He stood up and turned around to see that Kashima Reiko, who was standing in front of the water bar, had changed into a gorgeous kimono that she would never normally wear.

The white background with varying shades of navy blue and light purple floral patterns gives it a mature and elegant look, while the bright purple sash highlights the simple design of the yukata.

Kashima Reiko usually prefers gender-ambiguous clothing styles, but today she suddenly changed into a gorgeous kimono, exuding a moist and sensual aura that I've never seen before.

What's going on?

Makoto Takahashi didn't see her in a yukata at the first summer festival, but today he saw her in a more formal kimono at a new marketing event like the Christmas market, which made him a little puzzled.

"So cute! She definitely looks prettier in this."

After Makoto Takahashi gave his honest evaluation, Reiko Kashima felt a little embarrassed, fidgeting with her hair to the side, her expression still blank.

Is...is that so?

"I'll contact you at 6 o'clock, don't neglect your work."

Li Jianxing spoke up frankly, then added a private reminder: "Reiko, come back when you're clear-headed, don't embarrass me."

She had noticed that Kashima Reiko had changed her clothes long ago, which meant she was definitely planning to cheat on him, but Kashima Reiko was always a little out of it afterward.

Kashima Reiko was utterly humiliated after being directly exposed by the young lady.

"Why are you wearing a kimono?" Makoto Takahashi asked casually.

"Hmm, I'll tell you later." Kashima Reiko silently leaned against his arm and stepped into the elevator.

......

Tsurumi Sawa, Classroom for Grade 1A.

"Yay—winter break is finally here!"

"Youmei, stop making so much noise."

"Hell...the torturous semester is over, and then comes heaven!"

After the last class in the afternoon, the class meeting to announce important points ended, and Supervisor Horikita left. The students, now free, chatted happily about their summer vacation plans.

The excited and noisy sounds annoyed Uesugi Maya, who was sitting quietly in her seat.

She exuded an aura that seemed out of place with her surroundings. She took out a hardcover book and a Christmas gift from Shiraishi Junko from her desk drawer, put them in the canvas bag hanging next to her desk, and quietly walked out of the classroom.

The gift was a jigsaw puzzle music box, which was bought in Otaru City, where Maya Uesugi was also present.

She was initially a little disgusted when she saw the gift, but after reading Junko Shiraishi's Christmas card, she appreciated her thoughtfulness.

The music box wasn't a gift, but rather a reminder of the time spent assembling it with Makoto Takahashi. Junko Shiraishi, being a romantic by nature and deeply appreciating Christmas, naturally wouldn't be perfunctory.

How long has it been since you received a Christmas gift?

Since breaking up with Tachimi Yuki, she has never received a Christmas gift, but she never misses her birthday, which she never celebrates.

She's just an annoying woman.

I wonder what Christmas present Makoto Takahashi will give me. I'm only receiving a present now because of him.

I got too carried away last night; I hope I didn't wear down his patience too much.

I've always received all sorts of care... Thinking of this, it's as if Yuki's voice is echoing in my ears again.

He can't be yours at the same time...

why not?

Uesugi Maya retorted in her mind.

This may sound weak, but Makoto Takahashi himself said that he could rely on him, so why not?

I just don't want to.

Amidst the excited chatter of the various classes, she walked through the corridor, went downstairs to the first floor, and stopped at Makoto Takahashi's shoe locker.

He must have received a lot of Christmas gifts. Will helping him destroy them wear down his patience, or will he be happy?

Kashima Reiko deals with love letters every day; it's no harm in just opening one and taking a look.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairs behind me.

"Mayo, wait a moment."

Hearing the lively voice, Uesugi Maya withdrew her hand, turned around and looked over. Nekoya Hina, disregarding school rules, jumped down the stairs in a few steps and came to stand in front of her.

"Why are you at the academy?" Uesugi Maya asked.

Her habitually cold voice and aloof attitude always made people feel pressured.

Hina Nekoya, used to this pressure, smiled nonchalantly: "Today is the last day, I came to the academy as soon as the competition is over."

"Is something wrong?"

Under Maya Uesugi's indifferent gaze, Hina Nekoya took out a few tickets from her pocket and handed them to her: "Here, this is for you, a Christmas present."

"What is this?" Uesugi Maya asked, frowning.

"Vouchers for the nearby Christmas market can be exchanged for snacks and the like."

Hearing what Nekoya Hina said, Uesugi Maya's expression softened, and she tentatively accepted the Christmas gift.

After all, Nekoya Hina is the kind of person who wouldn't let herself go hungry, and she's willing to give up her precious food, showing her heartfelt intentions.

As they spent more time together, Uesugi Maya didn't dislike her. At first, she only harbored malicious suspicions, and Nekoya Hina wasn't someone who truly exploited interpersonal relationships.

Hanakawa Kaori is the only one who can't dislike her, out of respect for Takahashi Makoto.

After taking the Christmas market ticket and examining it for a while, Uesugi Maya began to look forward to Takahashi Makoto's gift, thinking that he wouldn't be perfunctory.

"Let's go together, it's near the apartment."

Invited by Hell Girl, Hina Nekoya was momentarily stunned, blinked in surprise, and pointed to her nose, asking:

"Me? Are you inviting me?"
