They all have hidden attributes!

Hina Nekoya dragged Makoto Takahashi upstairs to her bedroom, where she slammed the door shut like a thief and asked nervously, "Makoto, how is it?"

"That's good, isn't it? If we come back a few more times this year, even if we don't get blessings, at least we won't be opposed."

Makoto Takahashi sat down on the edge of the bed, raised his face, and gave Hina Nekoya a relaxed smile to put her mind at ease:

"Well, there's nothing we can do but let them accept it gradually; there's no particularly good solution."

"Yes, that's good."

Hina Nekoya stretched her arms and yawned before lying down on her long-unused bed: "I can't sleep well on the ship at all. I'll take the Shinkansen back home."

"Let's take a plane," Makoto Takahashi said.

"Okay, I'm going to take a nap first."

Hina Nekoya drew the curtains, turned to face him, and said in a gradually weakening voice, "Anyway, there's nothing fun around here. The snow festival ended a while ago, so today is a stay-at-home date."

Does a home-based date just involve sleeping?

It must be because he was constantly on edge and his mind was on edge.

Makoto Takahashi turned around and saw Hina Nekoya closing her eyes wearily. He raised his hand to stroke her smooth, chestnut-brown hair and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Hmm..." Nekoya Hina's breathing gradually became longer and more even.

Makoto Takahashi sat by the bed reading to keep her company. Maya Uesugi's book only had 12 chapters, and he had already read 6 chapters on the way to Hokkaido.

After reading about Uesugi Maya's transition from "Yearning for Death" to "Love Should Be Joyful," Takahashi Seiichi hesitated, wondering how he should face her after returning to Tokyo.

Yukiya Tachimi has also finished reading the book, and Makoto Takahashi learned from their recent conversations that she and Maya Uesugi get along very well, at least that's what the young lady thinks.

I took out my phone, then remembered that the young lady was taking a nap at this time, so I decided to ask her again in the evening.

After chatting with Shiraishi Junka and Hanakawa Kaori for a while, the door was quietly opened a crack, and Takahashi Makoto looked up and saw Nekoya Asuka peering inside mysteriously.

He got up and walked over, whispering, "Yinna is taking a nap."

"Xiao Cheng, come here, I'll show you something good." Nekoya Asuka beckoned.

Driven by curiosity, Makoto Takahashi followed her downstairs to the living room, where a corrugated cardboard box was placed on the kotatsu table.

Cat House Asuka took out a plastic box from the corrugated cardboard box. The box had the words "[Growth Record]" written on it in an oil-based pen. Inside the box were several CDs.

"It's probably a family documentary full of Nekoya Hina's dark history," Makoto Takahashi thought to himself.

"Hina has really grown up. As a mother, it's sometimes really difficult, especially with her insistence."

Asuka Nekoya put the disc in her bag, sat on the other side of the kotatsu, and said with a serious expression, "Hina was so cute when she was little."

“She’s still cute now.” Makoto Takahashi stared intently at the TV screen playing the DVD.

The former Nekoya Hina was even more mischievous than he had imagined.

In the summer, we would play until we were covered in mud, ride our bicycles recklessly through the village, and play carefree with other children in the yard.

After watching for a while, noting that the time displayed on the screen had passed in the past few years, Nekoya Asuka suddenly said in a very concerned tone:

“When Hina was little, she got into a lot of trouble, and I would always scold her, but she never learned her lesson.”

"..." Takahashi Makoto took a sip of tea without making a sound.

"Fortunately, she has grown up healthy, and we don't want to interfere too much in her life. If you are willing to come back often, Yuuji and I will feel more at ease."

"Yes, I understand."

“When Hina said she wanted to go to Tokyo alone, Yuji and I discussed it and decided to support her. If Hina is sure that this is the happiness she wants, we will still support her.”

"I will do my best."

Cat House Asuka sat in the living room for a while, then said she was going out to buy something.

Makoto Takahashi watched a family documentary, occasionally chatting with Yuji Nekoya in the smoking room. After the DVD finished playing, he got up and went back to his room upstairs.

Hina Nekoya was fast asleep, lying on her back on the bed with her belly exposed, filling the room with a light and cheerful atmosphere.

Makoto Takahashi leaned against the bed, sitting on the floor reading a book. Occasionally, his thoughts would drift away, wandering to all sorts of random things.

As evening fell, Nekoya Hina opened her eyes, silently sat between his legs, and leaned against Takahashi Makoto.

"Acheng, you seem to have matured a lot since we went back to Hokkaido."

"After all, we need to give your parents an explanation."

Makoto Takahashi put down his book, hugged her tightly, and pressed his cheek against Haruna Nekoya's shoulder: "I was just thinking that financial compensation is still compensation. If anything happens at home, you have to tell me in time. It's a matter of attitude, no matter what."

"I know, I know, besides, it's not like my parents don't have jobs," Hina Nekoya muttered, a little unconvinced.

"There's one more thing, Haruna."

Makoto Takahashi's gaze drifted downwards, catching sight of the rounded lines bulging on his sports vest through the collar: "You didn't start from fifth grade and completely—"

"So long-winded!"

Hina Nekoya turned around and glared at him angrily: "So what? You still do it every time—"

"how?"

"I'm furious."

Makoto Takahashi wrapped his arms around her back and gently kissed her fair collarbone to comfort her.

When Nekoya Hina took the initiative to kiss him, Takahashi Makoto couldn't resist, but he stopped her in time.

"Yin Cai, since you're still at your house, it's better to be a little more discreet."

Realizing she'd been tricked, Nekoya Hina's eyes widened and her cheeks flushed: "Makoto, you did this on purpose!"

"It's not good for your parents to hear this, sweetie, just bear with it for a few days."

Despite saying that, Makoto Takahashi didn't stop teasing her. Hina Nekoya, exasperated, retorted, "You're finished once you go back to Tokyo!"

My first day at the cat house went peacefully, much more smoothly than I had imagined.

On the last day of March, the two went to the city with the cat house's parents to relax and have dinner out before returning home.

After a day, Makoto Takahashi had completely immersed himself in the atmosphere of the cat house, so he decided to stay another day.

Haruna Nekoya protested, expressing her desire to visit Hakodate, but was suppressed by Makoto Takahashi and her parents.

April 1st was an exceptionally sunny day.

Nekoya Hina opened her eyes and saw Takahashi Makoto's refreshed sleeping face, so she angrily kicked him.

Makoto Takahashi closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her from behind. Then a dull pain came from his head. Hina Nekoya nudged him with her head.

"Acheng, we're not going to Hakodate."

"Not going?" Makoto Takahashi squinted and smiled.

"I'll go to the city to find a hotel today, and then go back to Tokyo tomorrow."

Hina Nekoya looked so adorable, resentful that she had to behave herself at home. Makoto Takahashi naturally lifted her chin with his hand and pressed his lips against her moist pink lips.

He lightly bit her, and Nekoya Hina shifted her body as if it were itchy, which stirred up a feeling of tenderness in one's heart.

Makoto Takahashi cradled the back of her head in his hand and continued to kiss her gently until Hina Nekoya placed her hand on his chest, at which point he stopped.

"Don't your parents work?" he asked softly.

"We specifically asked for leave because we're coming back."

Hina Nekoya pulled Makoto Takahashi's arm over and rested her head on it: "Next time you come back, stay for a few more days."

"Since you specifically asked for leave, you can't just go anywhere. It's fine if you don't go to Hakodate."

Hina Nekoya ruffled his hair in annoyance, but Makoto Takahashi patiently persuaded him in a conciliatory tone: "Say hello today, and you can leave after lunch tomorrow. You'll be in Tokyo tonight."

“Go back and stay at my place.” Nekoya Hina held out her finger to make a pinky promise with him.

"Isn't that a bad idea? Hanaori is still here. How about we go to a hotel? Just say we're not going back to Tokyo until the day after tomorrow."

"It's a deal! Stay away from me today."

"I didn't expect you to be even more... I'm not going to say anything more."

Under the intimidation of her gaze, Makoto Takahashi chuckled and shut his mouth, then took a nap with Hina Nekoya.

It's no wonder she wanted to go back to Tokyo; staying in the village for too long was indeed a bit boring.

After a mundane day at the cat house, as night fell, Takahashi Seiya began to miss Tokyo.

Yuki Tatsumi's voice was so sweet it was like sugar had been sprinkled on it; Maya Uesugi's eyes held a mixture of disdain and concern; Junko Shiraishi had a charming appearance, and her thoughtful gaze always evoked feelings of pity.

There's also Kashima Reiko, who's always there but never leaves, and her noisy younger sister.

On the afternoon of April 2, after saying goodbye to his parents, Makoto Takahashi and Haruna Nekoya took a taxi straight to the airport and boarded the private plane sent by the Tachimi family through the VIP channel.

"Cheng-kun~ Did you have fun?"

As soon as he stepped into the cabin, Makoto Takahashi heard the young lady's familiar voice. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Yuki Tachibana leaning against the sofa, one hand supporting her cheek, smiling as she looked at him.

"Xing, I miss you."

Makoto Takahashi stretched out his hands and walked slowly over. Yuki Tachimi had no choice but to stand up so that he could hug her.

When Nekoya Hina, who was boarding the plane later, saw this scene, her eyes widened in surprise.

She had endured so much in her hometown, and finally got to return to Tokyo, only to be chased down by Tachimi Yuki who came straight to Hokkaido to seize the initiative.

How can this be allowed?

After a slight hesitation, Hina Nekoya mustered her courage and said, "Sachi-senpai, I made the reservation first."

"Ok?"

As Tatsumi Yuki was enjoying the long-awaited embrace, he heard Nekoya Hina say this, turned his head and saw her shy yet determined expression, and asked Takahashi Makoto:

"Chengjun, have you gone astray? Are you deliberately keeping people in suspense? That kind of perverse taste is no good."

Mitsuki was standing up for herself, and Nekoya Hina turned her face away, even the roots of her ears turning a beautiful pink.

Makoto Takahashi was caught off guard by Nekoya Hina's tattling and could only offer a dry explanation while pulling Tachimi Yuki to sit down on the sofa.

"No, the situation is more complicated, and it's not very convenient at the Nekoya house, since they are Hina's parents."

"Then what are you feeling guilty about?" Tachikami Yuki slipped her slender, pale fingers under his shirt and stroked the clearly defined lines of his muscles.

"Really? Speaking of which, why didn't Aya and Reiko come with you?"
