They all have hidden attributes!

As a beautiful girl in her adolescence, she was rather ignorant, but not entirely clueless. At least she knew that Makoto Takahashi would naturally have that kind of desire.

Being clear and understanding is one thing, but not having the awareness to be completely devoured is another.

Therefore, when she saw Tachimi Yuki buy a flashy and provocative sexy nightgown, Uesugi Maya couldn't suppress the shame welling up inside her and coldly criticized:

"Dirty!"

"Hmm?" Tachimi Yuki picked up another light, semi-transparent nightgown and turned to Uesugi Maya with clear eyes.

The style, which easily exposes skin whenever one wants to look, is a bit too avant-garde for Haki Night as pajamas.

As if recalling certain images, the tips of Uesugi Maya's ears gradually became hot.

She tossed her long black hair, trying to maintain her usual indifferent attitude: "Wearing pajamas like this, don't you think it looks like you're actively trying to do something?"

"Yes, otherwise?"

Li Jian smiled and curled his lips, while simultaneously using a fierce glare to stop the shop assistant who was trying to suppress his laughter.

The saleswoman immediately resumed her serious expression, and Tachibana Yuki turned to examine the pajamas in her hand, slowly drawing out the last syllable:

"Xiaoye, buy a sexy nightgown, so you won't be at a disadvantage when you want to seduce someone."

"I would never wear something so shameful."

Uesugi Maya's delicate face tightened, her arms crossed over her chest, and she said righteously, "Based on my observation, he prefers the innocent type. This kind of blatant emphasis is too vulgar."

"Is that so?" Tachikami Yuki didn't seem to mind and waved to the shop assistant to wrap up the other nightgown as well.

Her composed demeanor suddenly made Uesugi Maya lose the confidence to say such things.

After a moment of contemplation, Uesugi Maya spoke calmly and steadily: "I know you two are dating, but his feelings for you are purely lustful. He didn't make a move on New Year's Eve because he respected me."

"Hmm~ Anything else?" Tachikawa strolled over to a black lace-trimmed nightgown and examined it closely.

"This shows that his love for me is genuine, and you two are simply bound together," Uesugi Maya asserted confidently.

"I want this one too."

After finishing speaking to the shop assistant, Tachimi Yuki turned to face Uesugi Maya and said with a mischievous smile, "Maya, if you think like that, Makoto will be very troubled."

Facing her smiling, deep blue eyes, Uesugi Maya instinctively felt a sense of resistance.

"Saya should have fantasized about such things at all, right? Hmm—I see, having knowledge and having actual experience are two different things."

Tachikami Yuki's attitude was not tough, but her sweet voice revealed a hint of sympathy.

This sympathy and pity was a complete and utter blow to Uesugi Maya.

"Let me guess, the health education textbook, and the shoujo manga that Hanaori lent you?"

With a smile, Tachibana Yuki closed the distance and leaned closer to Uesugi Maya. Under the mysterious lighting in the store, her beautiful short golden hair shone with a luster.

"With this kind of knowledge, you can only imagine them hugging each other or wrapped in a blanket, right?"

"..." Maya Uesugi was speechless.

They were all right.

On New Year's Eve, she turned off the lights herself, so she had no idea what exactly happened, only that she was left with a hickey.

"Good girl, Xiaoye, listen to your sister, you won't regret buying one."

Tachikami Yuki gently patted the top of her head twice, her innocent face appearing almost devilish under the play of light and shadow: "If you don't give it your all when you want to respond, you'll regret it."

Looking at her smile, Uesugi Maya's heart wavered, and she hesitated.

Even if Tatsumi was deceiving herself, she wasn't short of money for a nightgown; if she really didn't need it, she could just hide it deep inside the closet.

Uesugi Maya hesitated for only one reason: she knew that Tachimi Yuki had a strong desire for control.

She didn't want to appear "obedient," otherwise, Ritsuki would definitely take advantage of her next time.

Seeing that Uesugi Maya was dawdling and indecisive, Tachibana Yuki didn't wait any longer and continued to look at other pajamas.

"Is it necessary to buy so many?" Maya Uesugi asked in a nonchalant tone.

"No matter how good the quality of this kind of clothing is, it can be easily torn."

Li Jianxing selflessly shared her insights and experiences, but unfortunately, her foolish younger sister did not appreciate it and only responded with a cold laugh that had no meaning.

"Oh."

"You're not still wearing blue and white stripes, are you?" Tachimi Yuki suddenly turned around and asked.

"It's none of your business."

Maya Uesugi put on a cold expression and turned her face away to look at the latest trendy lingerie, but the corners of her mouth were downturned unnaturally.

Ultimately, on the recommendation of the shop assistant, she bought two sets of "not-so-plain" lingerie and a "pure" nightgown.

Tachikami generously helped her pay the bill, his face beaming with a smile that annoyed Uesugi Maya.

As the two walked out of the store carrying paper bags, Makoto Takahashi was sitting on a sofa in the rest area, eating strawberries and talking on the phone with Kaori Hanakawa.

Judging from the quality of the strawberries, the prices at this shop must be quite high.

"I bought so many potato chips, brother! You've definitely never had orange-flavored potato chips before, or even beer-flavored ones!"

Listening to Hanakawa Kaori's lively voice on the phone, Takahashi Makoto swallowed the sweet strawberry in his mouth and asked curiously, "What other flavors don't I know?"

"Avocado mustard and...butter mushrooms?"

"Never mind, let Hina buy more drinks."

"Okay, we absolutely have to come tonight! Everyone, together!"

"I can only ask for you. It's likely that neither Aya nor Sachi will go."

As soon as Takahashi Makoto finished speaking, Tachibana Yuki leaned in with a smile and asked in his ear, "What is it?"

A soft, delicate floral fragrance wafted over, and a fair face was close in front of him. Takahashi Makoto turned his head and gently kissed her cheek, saying:

"Tonight we're going to celebrate Hanaori and Hina's housewarming, and also because Hina was selected for the national team's youth training group. We've invited everyone to celebrate together tonight and booked a ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant)."

"I don't have time," Maya Uesugi replied as expected.

Although she and Nekoya Hina are friends, she has more pressing priorities right now, such as designing the layout of her new home and hiding her newly bought pajamas.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Maya subconsciously hid the paper bag behind her back, afraid that Takahashi Makoto would notice:

"Buy me a gift and take it with you. I'll definitely make time for her once she joins Group A."

After all, Nekoya Hina was one of her few friends.

"Sachi, do you have time?" Takahashi Makoto nodded to indicate that he had made a note of it, then turned to Sachi and asked.

"I have plans with Ryoko tonight, sorry, Makoto."

Tachibana Yuki's pink lips brushed against his phone, which was held in mid-air, and she whispered, "You guys have a good time, but you have to be careful about what you say."

On the other end of the phone, Hanakawa Kaori felt nervous even through the phone, as if a pair of eyes were watching her from behind.

Makoto Takahashi recalled the scene he saw when he opened his eyes this morning, cleared his throat guiltily, and said into the phone:

"You heard me? Lengzi doesn't have time either. Go ask Chunke yourself."

"Okay, anyway, brother must come!" Hanakawa Kaori immediately hung up the phone and patted her chest in relief.

"Hanaori is already very afraid of you, and lately you seem to enjoy bullying her?"

Makoto Takahashi put away his phone, picked up a strawberry and popped it into his mouth. He got up from the sofa, and Yuki Tachibana took his arm.

"I didn't see any fear in her; she's even more of a headache than Xiaoye."

As he spoke, Tachibana Yuki glanced at Uesugi Maya, whose expression was stiff, and strode toward the tableware shop where the three of them had just left.

"I've already decided, I'll buy the 60-piece relief set."

Upon hearing this, Makoto Takahashi immediately turned to look at Maya Uesugi. She did not object, indicating that the two had indeed reached an agreement.

Lingerie stores are truly magical places, but unfortunately, men are not allowed in.

"Isn't a 60-piece set too much?" he asked curiously.

"Not much. Considering that chopsticks are also ceramic products, 10 sets of chopsticks may not be enough. We also need to buy 6-inch bone plates and 8-inch shallow plates."

Uesugi Maya patiently explained, but when she saw Takahashi Makoto looking at her with a strange expression, she immediately turned cold and stomped on his foot hard.

"What are you looking at?" she asked coldly.

"It's nothing." Takahashi Makoto looked away.

After buying the tableware at the tableware store, Tachikami called the driver to carry it back to the car, and the three of them went to a nearby Western restaurant for lunch.

In winter, Uesugi Maya's obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness can be easily resolved by simply placing a coat on a chair, but it becomes increasingly troublesome after spring arrives.

In Makoto Takahashi's view, this is also one of the pieces of evidence that Maya Uesugi does not actually dislike Yuki Tachimi.

After the three of them started living together, there were always times when they would share the sofa and chairs. If they were really mortal enemies, how could Uesugi Maya possibly accept the option of living together?

When Uesugi Maya sat down in the chair in the student council president's office, she was completely unprepared.

The conflict between the two ultimately stemmed from a lack of communication, coupled with Tachikami Yuki's penchant for bullying his younger sister, which accumulated many misunderstandings over the years.

For example, right now, the atmosphere between the two of them, which had just eased, has become cold and hard again because of a waffle.

The waffles were served as dessert, accompanied by ice cream, and Maya Uesugi also ordered honey separately.

She put down her coffee, gracefully picked up a waffle with her fork, and dipped it in honey to eat.

Makoto Takahashi had witnessed this overly sweet way of eating before at the fireworks festival a few months ago.

"That's really a child's taste."

Sitting next to him, Tachimi Yuki swallowed a mouthful of black tea. Under Uesugi Maya's cold gaze, he pinched some yogurt mint sauce with his fingers and used it to dot eyes, a nose, and a mouth on a waffle.

"Ha, calling me naive?" Uesugi Maya sneered disdainfully.

"This is how I look now, isn't it cute, Makoto?" Tatsumi Yuki ignored her and turned to Takahashi Makoto with a smile.

How can you say your girlfriend isn't cute?

“Cute,” Takahashi Makoto replied immediately.

"This is how I want you to make me."

Tachikami poured all the yogurt mint sauce over the waffle, completely ruining the smiley face she had just drawn.
