They all have hidden attributes!

Unfortunately, life isn't a fairy tale, and the two princesses are currently finding it difficult to get along.

Moving took longer than expected. By the time Makoto Takahashi and Maya Uesugi finished, it was already past 1:30 p.m.

The idle young lady changed her posture, sitting sideways on the sofa, watching a movie on her laptop, exuding a lazy, homebody vibe.

She caught a glimpse of Makoto Takahashi and Maya Uesugi approaching out of the corner of her eye. She bent her straight legs and gave a soft "hmm" in acknowledgment. Makoto Takahashi sat down on the sofa next to her with a knowing look on his face.

Li Jianxing lifted her foot and casually placed her leg on his lap, the white stockings outlining the elegant curves of her beautiful leg reflecting a pearly luster in the sunlight.

"It's hard to imagine that I have to live with you from today onwards."

Maya Uesugi sat down on the sofa opposite the two of them, across the coffee table, with her knees together and her gaze fixed on Yuki Tachimi's profile.

"Aren't you hungry? How about pizza for lunch? I'll order delivery."

Makoto Takahashi skillfully changed the subject, while simultaneously taking out his phone and opening the PizzaHut app: "What kind of pizza do you want?"

"There has to be pineapple." Yuki Tachibana was completely absorbed in the movie.

Seeing that she ignored her, Uesugi Maya frowned slightly, turned to Takahashi Makoto and said, "Pick whichever you like."

"Then let's just order a set meal. Even though the band has stopped performing, as a bassist, I'm still pretty good at ordering takeout."

After ordering takeout, Makoto Takahashi put down his phone, picked up a cup of Tachibana Yuki's black tea, and took a sip: "How about ordering a cake to celebrate tonight?"

"Is there anything to celebrate?" Maya Uesugi asked indifferently.

"No?" Takahashi Makoto looked up at her and asked in return.

"We'll think about how to celebrate when she can't stand the poverty anymore."

Maya Uesugi made no attempt to hide her hostility, but Yuki Tatsumi continued to ignore her, engrossed in watching the movie, seemingly intending to adopt a "ignore" tactic.

Uesugi Maya, who was being ignored, frowned and stared at him with a sharp gaze.

The air fell eerily silent.

Makoto Takahashi's gaze darted between the two of them, then he sighed softly and asked Maya Uesugi, "Any plans for this afternoon?"

"Everyone needs to participate in cleaning. After that, we'll go buy ingredients," Uesugi Maya replied.

"Everyone" refers to her, Makoto Takahashi, and Yuki Tatsumi, even if the last person pretends not to hear, they still have to participate.

"I'll take care of the lucky part."

Makoto Takahashi gave Maya Uesugi a look, at which point Yuki Tachibana bent his leg and kicked him twice as a signal.

"I'll go brew another pot of black tea." Makoto Takahashi picked up the tea set and got up to walk towards the kitchen.

After he left, Tachibana Yuki slammed his laptop shut, rested his chin on his hand, and tilted his head to meet Uesugi Maya's gaze with a serious look.

"Xiaoye, I'll only say it once."

"Speak." Uesugi Maya faced her powerful pressure head-on, her cold gaze unwavering.

"The most important reason I agreed to Chengjun's request is that he is someone who needs personal space, yet he is willing to give it up and dedicate a lot of time and energy to it."

As he spoke, Tachibana Yuki raised a dangerous smile, her innocent and lovely face darkening, giving off a terrifying aura:

"Don't be stupid, okay? I don't want him to feel hurt emotionally, is that clear enough?"

Although it was a request, her sweet voice conveyed a powerful sense of control.

Seeing Tachibana Yuki's dangerous smile, and feeling an oppressive pressure that made it hard to breathe, Uesugi Maya suddenly unleashed an aura that was no less powerful than anyone else's:

"Of course I don't want to let him down. As long as you don't cause me any trouble, we can live in peace."

Chapter 199 Girlfriend and Cat - First Day of School

After finishing their cleaning in the afternoon, Makoto Takahashi and Maya Uesugi went out together to shop at the nearby Tsurumizawa Shopping Street and familiarize themselves with the surrounding area.

As evening fell and darkness descended, after walking a distance, I could see more and more warm yellow lights in the residential area, and I could vaguely make out the figures of people preparing dinner in each kitchen.

"Aya, it seems we don't have any neighbors to visit?" Takahashi Makoto was surprised by how far apart people were in this residential area.

Walking beside him, Uesugi Maya glanced at his slightly tired face, her eyes filled with blatant disdain:

"Is there even a question? For safety reasons, she bought several houses nearby together."

“I also don’t really want to interact with my neighbors,” Makoto Takahashi said.

Both he and Uesugi Maya are not very social, and as for Tachimi Yuki, although she is more outgoing than the other two, the neighbors probably wouldn't be qualified to get her to visit.

The visit was called off, and the two walked into the Tsurumizawa Shopping Street under the dim light cast by the streetlights. Tsurumizawa Academy was just across this street.

"We can go to school together tomorrow." Takahashi Makoto said cheerfully, his gaze lingering between the shop signs and windows.

Uesugi Maya showed no interest in the topic and remained silent with a cold expression.

She has a strong sense of territory, so in the days to come, she will definitely defeat Tachibana Yuki in one fell swoop and find a way to drive her away.

As for going to school together, two people are enough.

"How about curry for dinner? Beef curry."

Makoto Takahashi turned his head and saw that Maya Uesugi was indifferent. He reached out and pinched the back of her neck: "Sweetie, I'll bake you cream puffs tomorrow night. I'll buy some cream while I'm at it today."

Upon hearing that there were handmade cream puffs, the displeasure in Uesugi Maya's eyes subsided slightly.

"She did nothing all afternoon and didn't help at all."

"What's so strange about that?" Makoto Takahashi asked.

"I'm angry."

"You've known her for a while now, and you knew beforehand that things would turn out this way, so why are you still angry?"

Seeing Takahashi Makoto's amused expression, Uesugi Maya stepped on his foot, then turned and went into the supermarket to buy groceries.

Sachi has arranged all the household items and miscellaneous daily necessities for the new home, and the two of them only need to fill the refrigerator.

Although neither Maya Uesugi nor Yuki Tatsumi had any plans to celebrate, Makoto Takahashi still intended to cook a lavish dinner to avoid any friction between the two due to differing tastes.

As it turned out, he was overthinking it.

Tachimi Yuki enjoyed the dinner that Takahashi Makoto and Uesugi Maya had prepared together.

After dinner, Makoto Takahashi went to the first-floor bathroom to take a shower. Yuki Tatsumi wanted to go with him, but Maya Uesugi asked him to use the second-floor girls' bathroom.

The time it takes for boys and girls to shower is incomparable.

When Makoto Takahashi came out of the shower, Maya Uesugi was still cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen. Yuki Tatsumi estimated that it would take a while, so he took a copy of "A Tale of Two Cities" from the bookshelf in the study and went back to the sofa in the living room to read it.

The night outside the window was already deep. After dinner, I sat leisurely on the sofa reading a book, which made me feel relaxed.

After a while, Maya Uesugi turned off the kitchen light and came out.

"Remember to put the book back where it belongs after you finish reading it. Don't leave it lying around. I'm going straight to my room to sleep after my shower. Goodnight."

After saying that, she stepped onto the wooden steps and went upstairs, the soft sound of her slippers gradually fading into the distance.

"Do you need me to launch a night raid?" Makoto Takahashi asked casually.

"Go to hell."

After a long and tiring day, Hakiyo was too exhausted to compete with Tachimi Yuki for the night's time.

Makoto Takahashi read a book on the sofa for a while. The time on his watch slowly reached 9 o'clock. Just as he was about to go back to sleep, Sachi Tachimi, wearing a nightgown, came down the stairs.

Under the bright lights, her fair skin, fresh from the bath, glowed with a beautiful pink, and her long, shapely legs were especially captivating.

"Cheng-kun, would you like to come to my room tonight, or—"

She sat down next to Makoto Takahashi, brushed her blonde hair aside, leaned closer, and let out an alluring breath from her pink lips: "Want to do it here?"

"Here?" Makoto Takahashi asked in surprise.

"I'll listen to you."

Tachikami Yuki smiled gently, taking his surprise as an answer, and snatched the hardcover book, casually tossing it aside.

The hardcover book fell onto the wooden floor with a dull protest, which was then covered by a hoarse and beautiful hum.

The night before school started was unexpectedly sweet.

Monday, June 11th.

On the first day of the third semester, Makoto Takahashi woke up to his girlfriend's sweet voice.

"Cheng-kun, wake up~"

Opening my eyes, through my blurry, moist vision, I gradually came into focus on Yuki's pure and lovely face, her short golden hair shimmering in the sunlight.

She was already dressed in her school uniform, sitting on the edge of the bed, one hand holding the quilt and the other stroking her hair.

She was gentle and beautiful, with an angelic face in the morning light, showing no trace of the way she had been ravaged in my arms last night.

"Good morning." Makoto Takahashi sat up in bed and yawned.

"Good day~ Chengjun is very busy today."

Tachibana Yuki stood up in a good mood, put her hands behind her back, and turned lightly to face him:

"First, I have to deal with work at the company, and after school I have to go to the light music club. Saya sent a message in the group chat saying that rehearsals will resume starting today."

The pleated skirt swayed gently, making the young lady look radiant.

However, she apparently took the liberty of looking through her phone, which was placed next to her pillow.

Makoto Takahashi picked up his phone and opened it, only to find that Yuki Tachimi had replied with "[Received]" and a few good morning greetings in the group chat.

"You didn't delete the messages, did you?" he asked as he got out of bed.

No.

"It's fine if you peek, but don't reply for me next time."

"Because I'm a bit bored, I've left all the work to you and Mom. Besides bullying Xiaoye, all I do is be your secretary."

Yuki followed Makoto Takahashi into the bathroom and stood beside him as he washed up: "Breakfast is in the dining room. Saya has already gone to the academy."

I thought we could go to school together.

"She's going for her morning exercise."

"Too."
