They all have hidden attributes!

"When I woke up this morning, I was wondering if you would come over for breakfast."

Makoto Takahashi opened the car door, sat in the back seat, and handed the gift box tied with a ribbon to Yuki Tachimi.

"It's inconvenient that Xiaoye only takes that one car."

Yuki Tachibana rested her elbows on the armrest, propped her cheeks up with her hands, and lazily accepted the gift box: "How does it taste?"

"It's quite refreshing, you should like it." Makoto Takahashi closed the car door and moved closer to her.

The distance between the two quickly closed. Tachibana Yuki glanced at Uesugi Maya, who was waiting outside the car door, placed the gift box on his lap, and opened the lid.

The remaining half of the handmade chocolates are neatly arranged on the same side.

"I would recommend lemon white chocolate."

Makoto Takahashi picked up a piece, unwrapped it, and held it to Yuki Tachimi's lips. She opened her mouth, took a bite, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's barely acceptable." The young lady's evaluation criteria seemed a bit harsh.

Makoto Takahashi tossed the remaining half of the chocolate into his mouth, his fingers tracing the hem of her black pleated skirt and white stockings, and said in an informing tone:

Fortunately, my birthday is in a month.

Changing the subject, Tachibana Yuki dropped her languid expression, her azure eyes brightening as if she had perked up, and her words ended with a sweetness as if sprinkled with sugar:

"I know, is there a gift you want?"

When she suddenly adopted this attitude of "I'll agree to anything," Makoto Takahashi was almost overwhelmed by the young lady's aura.

"I agreed with Chunke that she would host the birthday party."

"Hmm~ And then?" Tachimi Yuki nodded to indicate that she had no objection.

"We will also be holding a live performance at Tokyo Dome."

"Cheng-kun, it's so good that you value your birthday."

Seeing the relieved expression on her face, Makoto Takahashi was deeply moved.

There's no doubt that Tatsumi Yuki cares more about his birthday than he does. She might already be making plans in secret.

“I think we can hold an art exhibition together then,” Makoto Takahashi said.

"That's great, but it's a pity that archery is too niche and not convenient to demonstrate."

The words of approval came out of her mouth. After a moment's thought, Yukichi Tachibana smiled sweetly and said, "Makoto-kun wants to borrow my painting? No problem."

That breathtaking oil painting, being a gift, naturally belonged to Imaizumi.

"Actually, it's like this: the live performance will be arranged by Aye, but the art exhibition can only be entrusted to you and Lengzi. Also, I hope to see NoName perform."

As he said this, Makoto Takahashi looked directly into Yuki Tachimi's eyes, noticing that the light in her eyes had dimmed slightly, tinged with distress.

As the eldest daughter of the Tachimi family, she was destined to be unable to enjoy the same freedom as most people.

People are forbidden from showing their faces on social media and in the media, and are not allowed to cry when their fathers die. There are many similar examples.

When the band was first formed, Yuki Tachimi never expected to perform live; it was all just a game.

If it's his birthday wish, maybe we can try to overcome it. Maybe we should go home and discuss it with his mother first...

As Tatsumi Yukimasa pondered how not to disappoint Takahashi Makoto, he heard him continue:

"I'll finish writing the song as soon as possible, and then I'll prepare a cute headband for you, how about that? Anyway, nobody cares who the bassist is."

"Then I'll go play the piano." Tachimi Yuki pouted, feigning anger.

Makoto Takahashi lowered his head and kissed her, then said seriously, "I've already discussed it with my mother. As long as we don't show our faces, there's no problem. We can perform on stage together."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Yuki felt an indescribable joy welling up inside him.

She was once inspired by music, and therefore wanted to use music to inspire others, but this wish could only remain buried in her heart due to various difficulties.

dong dong——

An impatient knocking sound came from the car window, shattering the ambiguous atmosphere inside the car.

Yuki Tachibana glanced at Maya Uesugi, who was waiting outside, and then remembered the chocolate on her lap. She tore one open and popped it into her mouth: "Maya's been waiting a little too long."

"Shall we meet at noon?"

"Hmm~ No problem, I'll arrange the manpower in the student council."

"Then I'll go first."

Makoto Takahashi kissed her cheek, got out of the car, and was met with Maya Uesugi's cold and sharp gaze.

"It's so slow," she complained.

"We had a brief discussion about NoName's performance."

Makoto Takahashi closed the car door and waited for the black sedan to drive into the academy gate before he and Maya Uesugi leisurely walked onto the courtyard.

"I also paid Valentine's Day tax," he said, spreading his hands to indicate.

Maya Uesugi noticed that Makoto Takahashi's hands were empty, leaving the chocolate for Yuki Tachimi. She frowned, but her expression softened in an instant.

"Never mind, at least nothing was wasted."

After returning from Kyoto, Uesugi Maya and Tatsumi Yuki's relationship did improve a lot. Even though they still had arguments and conflicts, they were no longer at odds with each other as they used to be.

As long as it's not a matter of principle, the two are quite tolerant of each other.

Makoto Takahashi's plan is to use his birthday party to give them a common goal, to overcome various obstacles together, to get to know each other, and to deepen their relationship.

As for obstacles, there are actually quite a few.

Even though Tatsumi Yuki is a wealthy heiress, and even if she were to favor Uesugi Maya, there would still be problems that the two of them would find difficult to handle and that they would have to solve together.

As the weather warms up, the cedar forest in the courtyard turns green.

As Takahashi Makoto entered the teaching building and approached the shoe lockers, he slipped his feet into indoor shoes. Suddenly, Uesugi Maya, standing behind him, asked:

"The band, what did she say?"

"Of course I agreed; luckily, I never refuse."

Makoto Takahashi put on his indoor shoes and walked side by side with her toward the stairs: "I won't make things difficult for her."

"Tsk."

Uesugi Maya immediately thought of the scalding, sticky texture from last night and gave it a look of utter contempt: "Even if you say that, don't expect a next time."

"What do you mean?" Takahashi Makoto looked bewildered.

Under his innocent gaze, Uesugi Maya's expression gradually turned terrifying. She kicked his shin hard before stepping up the stairs.

"Why did you suddenly kick me?" Makoto Takahashi chased after him and asked.

Why did you give her the chocolate?

"Didn't you just say it was okay?"

"Go to hell, you scum."

Uesugi Maya inexplicably breathed out gas, and Takahashi Makoto could only silently endure it.

After all, the cat training plan is currently stalled, and we have to wait for the release of her new book before we can decide on the next educational approach.

Upon arriving at the second-floor corridor, Makoto Takahashi immediately sensed a restless atmosphere.

Maya Uesugi exuded an aloof aura, surveying her surroundings with a cold and piercing gaze. Several girls, who had hidden things behind their backs, were pretending to chat in the corridor.

They were waiting for Uesugi Maya to return to the classroom of Class 1-A, so that Takahashi Makoto could be alone before entering the classroom.

Today is February 15th, so Valentine's Day is theoretically over. Therefore, it's perfectly fine to give your classmate chocolates to thank them for their usual care.

Moreover, Makoto Takahashi once said that he "only accepts chocolates that are 100% pure righteousness," so giving him boxed chocolates bought from the supermarket today is considered skirting the rules.

It seems that even the infamous reputation of "Hell Girl" cannot stop girls from pursuing "scumbags".

What if Makoto Takahashi accepts it?

Girls always have some very "youthful" ideas, ostensibly to leave behind beautiful memories, and they enjoy doing so endlessly.

"Don't look at me like that. I've said I won't get involved with other girls again."

Makoto Takahashi did not stop at the back door of the 1st year C class classroom, but walked side by side with Maya Uesugi towards the 1st year A class at the end of the corridor.

At the vending machine in the corridor, Nekoya Haruna was drinking a sports drink, probably having just finished her morning workout.

"I'm going back," Uesugi Maya said coldly.

"Remember to pick me up during lunch break. Hanaori doesn't have your kind of intimidation."

Makoto Takahashi stopped beside Hina Nekoya, watching Maya Uesugi's tall and slender figure turn into the classroom at the end of the corridor.

Hina Nekoya realizes that her situation is a bit precarious.

The voice of her lover surrounded her, the space around her grew increasingly cramped, and she gradually felt his body temperature approaching, her heart pounding.

If it weren't in the college corridor, it would have been a good thing.

"Good morning, Acheng."

Hina Nekoya turned around, feigning composure. Seeing Makoto Takahashi blocking her way, she carefully lowered her voice and said, "This is the academy. They're all looking here."

"I know."

Makoto Takahashi braced himself against the wall, trapping Hina Nekoya in the cramped space next to the vending machine: "Hina, you have to take responsibility for me too."

"What is it?" Nekoya Hina glanced around anxiously.

She's so shy it's almost adorable.

"You should be worried about my wallet now."

Makoto Takahashi pressed his face close to hers, the curves from her ear to her neck alluring and sexy: "If you accept the chocolate today, you'll have to give three times the amount in return for White Day. Even if we go out for the finest Wagyu beef, it won't cost that much."

Using beef as an example, Nekoya Haruna quickly understood the current situation.

Because of Uesugi Maya's departure, the girls in the corridor no longer hid their chocolates behind their backs and stared longingly at her.

"call--"

Hina Nekoya let out a soft breath, just as she was about to muster her strength, when Makoto Takahashi launched a surprise attack, kissing her pink lips.

Her soft pink lips were tightly closed as Makoto Takahashi wrapped his arms around her waist, his vibrant body soft and supple.
