They all have hidden attributes!

The two chatted idly across the hallway when the electronic doorbell rang. Takahashi Makoto called out towards the bedroom, "Did you buy anything else?"

"No."

Maya Uesugi came out of the bedroom and walked with him to the entrance.

Makoto Takahashi is not good at socializing, and apart from food delivery and courier services, no one else should ring the doorbell. She really wants to know who the person is.

As I pushed open the door, a sweet voice and a soft, delicate floral fragrance wafted in.

"Happy breakup, Chengjun."

Wearing a white and purple dress, Tachimi Yuki stood in the corridor, holding an exquisitely crafted chocolate cake in her hand, and said with a smile, "I came here especially to celebrate for you."

It seems that Kashima Reiko can regain the young lady's trust through intelligence work.

"Thank you, Sister Xing, please come in." Takahashi Makoto stepped aside to make way for the entrance.

No matter what, we troubled Tachibana Yuki last night. Regardless of her intentions, refusing to entertain her now feels like treating her like a sycophant and wantonly trampling on her.

"Sorry to bother you."

As Tachikawa Yuki entered the foyer, and only after the apartment door closed did she pretend to have just seen Uesugi Maya, raising her hand to cover her mouth in surprise:

"Oh dear, why is Saya still at her ex-boyfriend's house? Isn't that a bit much? It's disgracing the Uesugi family."

"I'm going back now." Uesugi Maya crossed her arms, walked past her with a cold face, and headed towards the door.

"Aren't you going to stay and eat cake?" Tachimi asked with a smile.

Uesugi Maya pretended not to see it, and when she pushed open the door, she glanced back at Takahashi Makoto: "Remember to come for dinner. Also, I will not make any compensation for what happened before my birthday."

Makoto Takahashi felt a bit of pressure, and before he could even agree, Yuki Tachibana's face suddenly darkened, and a shadow fell over her beautiful blue eyes.

She raised her face, her smile revealing a hint of danger: "Hey, Xiaoye, I've made up my mind. The punishment for losing the game last time will be carried out on my birthday."

“I’m fine with it,” Uesugi Maya agreed.

"I'm going to host a private birthday party to entertain some friends and student council members. I'd appreciate it if you could take full charge of it. It's not convenient for Reiko to appear as a maid, otherwise she'll lose face in front of Makoto."

The implication is that Uesugi Maya will have to serve as the young lady's maid for the entire day, right in front of Tsurumi Sawa's students.

Fortunately, it was a private dinner party. Although it was a bit excessive, it wasn't to the point of making the eldest daughter of the Uesugi family lose face.

“Makoto, you have to attend as my boyfriend, okay?” Tatsumi Yuki said with a wicked smile.

"Is everything alright?" Takahashi Makoto asked Uesugi Maya.

"No problem. Since we lost, it's only natural to swallow the bitter pill of defeat."

Although Uesugi Maya is afraid of failure, she is not afraid to face it.

She turned to face Tachibana Yuki, crossed her arms, and looked directly at him: "What's the budget?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just that Xiaoye will have to work hard recently, since nothing has even started to be prepared yet."

Tachimi Yuki's nonchalant tone suggested she trusted her completely, showing no fear that Uesugi Maya would ruin the party.

Although the two of them had a very bad relationship, in some ways they were actually quite good, Makoto Takahashi thought to himself.

He admitted that he didn't have the ability to organize a young lady's birthday party, and this kind of purely work-related task was perfect for Uesugi Maya—she was very good at solving all kinds of complex problems.

Uesugi Maya knew that Tatsumi Yuki was a shrewd person, which is why she dared to use the term "slave" to get her to accept her challenge.

"You can discuss the specifics with Leng Zi. Goodbye."

Tachibana Yuki waved, and Uesugi Maya turned and left. After the door closed, only the two of them remained in the apartment.

"Didn't Reiko-senpai come today?" Takahashi Makoto asked.

"She was punished for transferring people from the company without notifying me yesterday."

Yuki placed the chocolate cake on the coffee table, sat down on the sofa, and then took out a bunch of chocolates from her skirt pocket, neatly stacking them on the shelf under the coffee table.

"Sister Xing, about this matter—"

"I know, but rules are rules. Lengzi used to be the most law-abiding."

Hearing this, Takahashi Makoto understood what she meant and walked towards the kitchen: "What would you like to drink, Sachi-nee?"

"No need, Makoto doesn't have any black tea at home, right? Ryouko will bring some later. Remember to have Sayo clean up the teaware properly~"

"Didn't they say that Senior Reiko was punished?" He turned back, sat down across the coffee table from Tachimi Yuki, and turned the laptop that Uesugi Maya hadn't taken with her towards himself.

"It's just a fine. Lengzi probably doesn't care much about it, considering we grew up together."

With his hands clasped together at his waist, interlaced, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, Tachibana Yuki stared intently at Takahashi Makoto and said, "But Makoto-kun, haven't you considered the practicalities of life by now?"

The most prominent characteristic of idealism is its unrealistic nature, which is precisely the area where heiresses excel.

Yuki Tachibana had been keeping a close eye on Makoto Takahashi and the situation around him, including the activities of the light music club.

A warrior of pure love, faced with several pure loves, how can she achieve her ideal of not harming anyone and ensuring a happy ending for everyone?

This is the core life lesson that Makoto Takahashi will learn for a long time to come.

"I don't have any bad intentions, I just like Cheng-kun."

With a sweet, drawn-out tone, Tachibana Yuki's beautiful eyes flickered with a greedy flame: "Perhaps, in order to become the person we want to be, we must give to each other."

"Let's talk about these things after I understand what level Sachi is capable of and confirm my own ideals," Takahashi Makoto nodded in agreement.

In matters of love, the conditions that Uesugi Maya mentioned during her love counseling session will not waver, and feelings are also very important.

There are still many things to confirm, but right now, his most important task is to live up to Uesugi Maya's trust: the band.

"Want to have dinner together tonight?"

"No, I don't want Maya to get angry and then not get any dinner."

"Okay then, I won't bother you anymore."

Tachikami Yuki loudly clasped his hands together, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards the entrance: "Makoto-kun, I don't want to force or deceive you. I really hope you can understand me."

“Sachi-nee hopes I can face some complex problems more easily and wants to help me. Besides, this is also a kind of growth.” Takahashi Makoto saw her out.

Li Jianxing was unaware that he had a system, so he meant well by saying such things.

"It's so good that you understand." She sighed with relief.

Pushing open the door, Kashima Reiko and Uesugi Maya stood side by side in the hallway, facing the door, their faces expressionless.

"What are you guys playing?" Makoto Takahashi asked.

"Would it have been better if I had stayed a little longer?" Tachimi asked with a smile, her voice trailing off with a hint of distress.

“I’ve come to deliver the tea set and black tea,” said Kashima Reiko.

"As your ex-girlfriend, I must warn you not to be fooled by bad women." Uesugi Maya made no attempt to hide her hostility.

Makoto Takahashi suddenly felt a little envious of the oblivious, kind-hearted male protagonists in light novels. If he pretended to be completely oblivious now, he could enjoy the perks of jealousy and rivalry later on.

Unfortunately, feigning slowness is too awful; he can't bring himself to do something so tasteless.

"Let's all have dinner together tonight, it's on me," said Makoto Takahashi.

"I really want to say yes to Makoto, but I can't." Tachimi Yuki waved goodbye and left with Kashima Reiko.

"Once I've trampled her underfoot, I'll seriously consider your proposal," Uesugi Maya said coldly.

After having dinner at the Uesugi family's house, Makoto Takahashi put the chocolate cake that Yuki Tatsumi had given him into the refrigerator, planning to share it with Hina Nekoya when she returned to Tokyo.

October 2th, 7:8 AM.

Tsurumizawa, the old school building.

The morning light pierced through the gaps in the curtains, shining into the room surrounded by magazines and dolls. Various cute ornaments were placed on the desk, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of a young girl.

ding ding-

Hanakawa Kaori turned off the alarm clock, opened her sleepy eyes, stared at the ceiling for a few minutes before gradually coming back to her senses.

I got up, drew back the curtains, patted my cheeks hard with both hands, and got out of bed to wash up.

This is the dormitory that Tsurumi Sawa was assigned to her for free. It was originally a dormitory building, but it was discontinued a few years ago after the mandatory on-campus living policy was abolished, so life here is very convenient.

After washing the dishes, she put on a T-shirt and denim shorts, tied her long black hair into pigtails, and walked briskly towards the college gate, intending to go to the shopping street for breakfast.

Amidst the melodious chirping of birds, girls were already gathering on the playground. Looking at their figures, Hanakawa Kaori felt a pang of envy.

It feels like everyone suddenly grows up after moving on to a higher level of education.

The seniors in the Light Music Club are all outstanding—writers, artists, Olympic athletes, especially Makoto-senpai, who is the most amazing... When will I be able to become an outstanding adult?

Will I no longer be ordinary by next April?

She had heard that breasts grow after entering a certain school, but she wondered if the rumors were true. Thinking of this, she looked down at her immature figure, a troubled expression on her face.

As Hanakawa Kaori passed through the cedar grove in the courtyard, she saw a woman in a white dress holding up an easel on a bench in front of the fountain, her long black hair shimmering with a captivating glow in the morning light.

She blinked and ran over with light steps: "Good morning, Chun Ke-senpai."

"morning."

Shiraishi Junka nodded calmly, looked up at the direction of the academy gate, and said to her, "The band is gathering today."

"Oh, oh." Hanakawa Kaori nodded quickly.

Although she was scolded to tears by Uesugi Maya, she admired her excellent senior and still did chores.

"Does Junko-senpai always come this early?" She followed Junko Shiraishi's gaze and wondered if she was planning to take some photos.

"Wait someone."

"Waiting for someone?"

"I couldn't stand not seeing Cheng yesterday."

Shiraishi Junko lowered her eyes to look at the canvas, her beautiful wine-red eyes shimmering like morning mist: "I want to be together forever."

"Oh, so Junko-senpai likes Makoto-senpai."

Hanakawa Kaori sat down on the bench next to her, swinging her legs, which were encased in white ankle socks, back and forth, and turned to look at Shiraishi Junka.

Her alluring face was framed by naturally flowing black hair, the full curves of her white dress, and her long, shapely legs with snow-white skin. She looked as perfect as a moon goddess.

Only an outstanding man like Makoto could be worthy of her.

I have a feeling that it's a bit difficult for Junko-senpai.
