“But that’s exactly what I thought at the time…”

"I know, and this is exactly what you hate the most."

Because he was so unwilling, Sankaku Hatsuka couldn't help but gently bumped Chihaya Tetsuya with his shoulder.

"You've done so many things to make girls' hearts flutter, yet you don't have any improper thoughts towards them. In the end, you even forced the girls to use coercion to establish a relationship with you..."

"That's just because the four of them are too bold!"

Chihaya Tetsuya quickly defended himself:

"If you were Chuhua and had this opportunity, you definitely wouldn't do it!"

"..."

After hearing this, Sanjiao Chuhua was silent for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly.

"Yes, that's true..."

For example, just now when she accidentally took off her skirt, if she had really been mentally prepared to take things a step further with Chihaya Tetsuya, she would not have been so panicked, and she would not have waited for Chihaya Tetsuya to help her put her skirt back on.

"Because what I seek in you isn't some overly intense emotion... Compared to their endless desire, I prefer the two of us to be together quietly, supporting each other without interfering with each other, and being able to confirm each other's presence just by looking up..."

Everyone has different demands for a lover. At least for Sanjiao Chuhua, she prefers this plain and warm way of getting along.

"It's a shame we weren't lovers, and we didn't even have much ambiguity. And in this situation, with four already adorable lovers, there might not be room for me around you. So, even this kind of relationship is just a fantasy for me... Especially when I discovered that Ai and Xiangzi didn't see me as a rival, and didn't even have any objections to you staying over at my house, I realized that this already slim possibility might very well vanish. So... I was so anxious to test your attitude towards me in this deliberate way."

"If you react as calmly as you did to those unfamiliar models, then I will give up on this relationship. But if you truly have even the slightest special feeling towards me, then even if the possibility is minimal, I will never let you go easily. And now, I've got the answer I want, so... at least for the rest of today, I won't do anything unnecessary. As for Xiangzi and Ai, I will also take responsibility and explain everything to them. Mr. Tetsuya, you don't have to worry about anything next."

"Chuhua..."

Before this, Chihaya Tetsu had never imagined that Sankaku Hatsuka would have such complex and deep feelings for him.

Because in his opinion, he had not done anything special to Sanjiao Chuhua, nor did he think he had the charm to attract her.

Just as Sanjiao Chuhua complained, even today, he is still a fool who has no self-awareness.

And now, when he knew the mental journey that Sanjiao Chuhua had gone through, and the real thoughts behind today's excessive test, he finally decided to make a determination that matched it.

"Chuhua."

"kindness?"

"Tomorrow morning... do you have any work plans?"

"not at all."

Sanjiao Chuhua shook his head.

“Before [TGC], the only work Ai and I had was the catwalk lessons in the afternoon.”

"That's perfect. Tomorrow morning... please come home with me."

Chihaya Tetsuya looked back into Sankaku Hatsuka's eyes and said:

"I will explain to you what happened here tonight."

"?Why?"

Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly tilted his head in confusion.

"Mr. Tetsuya, I completely tricked you into coming here, didn't you? And even if I accidentally dropped my skirt due to a moment of negligence, you didn't do anything out of line at all. In other words, you are the complete victim! So, I should be the only one to be judged!"

"So...what if I, like you, have committed a crime that requires trial?"

"...?"

The next second, before Sankaku Hatsuka could ask what "crime" he was talking about, Chihaya Tetsuya had already approached her first, and before she could react at all, he quickly tapped her lips -

"Just now, I suddenly kissed you when you were completely off guard."

In the face of Sankaku Hatsuka's frozen expression, Chihaya Tetsuya said seriously:

"In this way, I should be qualified to stand trial with you, right?"

"……Eh?"

Chapter 15: Over-preparation can also lead to psychological gaps.

Chihaya Tetsuya's words made Sankaku Hatsuka stunned for a moment.

At this point, the nature of the matter has completely changed.

It should have been just a simple test, but due to his own mistakes and negligence, it developed into an exchange of feelings, forcing him to make the decision to confront Ai and Xiangzi...

……

"No, no, it really should be me who speaks for myself!"

Feeling a little shaken, Sankaku Hatsuka grabbed Chihaya Tetsuya's sleeve and asked in a rather panicked tone.

"What if they are really angry or even disappointed with you because of this?"

She did hope that there would be a place for herself beside Chihaya Tetsuya, but that didn't mean she wanted to destroy the relationship between Chihaya Tetsuya and the others. Rather, even if the possibility of her and Chihaya Tetsuya being together ended, she definitely didn't want Chihaya Tetsuya to lose the trust of Ai and Xiangzi!

"...Even so, I don't want to hide anything from them."

Chihaya Tetsuya shook his head.

"Besides, even if I don't explain this now, there will always be a day in the future when I have to explain everything. Just like today... According to what you said, they already knew I was staying here. If I really pretended that nothing happened, it would still cause them to worry and suspect."

"That's why I said I would take all the responsibility. If I can shoulder all the responsibility by myself, Mr. Tetsuya won't lose their trust!"

Sanjiao Chuhua continued to persuade:

"And in fact, Mr. Tetsuya didn't do anything, right? Not only that, you even resisted the temptation and helped me put on the skirt properly... Mr. Tetsuya doesn't need to take any responsibility at all, right?!"

"It's not that you have to take responsibility just because you've made a mistake. In fact... if I hadn't liked Chuhua to the point where I trusted you unconditionally, none of this would have happened in the first place. I don't want to deny my hesitation towards you, nor do I want to hide the truth that could be discovered at any time in the future."

Despite Sankaku Hatsuka's persuasion, Chihaya Tetsuya's attitude did not waver at all.

"And in order to make myself an accomplice, I just forcefully kissed you. This way, I have grounds for being tried."

Hearing this sophistry, Sanjiao Chuhua couldn't help but widen his eyes:

"Hah!? Can a kindergarten-level kiss like that be called a forced kiss?!"

"Kissing someone without their consent is considered forced kissing, right?"

"Not to mention that it was so gentle that I didn't feel any kissing at all... Who said I didn't agree? Although I'm not mentally prepared for the final step, I can still do a simple kiss!"

Sankaku Hatsuka, who was eager to persuade Chihaya Tetsuya, had lost his usual calmness in tone and speed of speech.

"Anyway, I absolutely don't admit to that kiss just now!"

“Oh, I see…”

Chihaya Tetsuya nodded blankly at first, then after hesitating for a moment, he asked:

"Then... kiss again? Longer this time?"

"...In that case, it wouldn't be a forced kiss, but a normal kiss that was willingly given by both parties."

"It doesn't make any difference, right? Anyway, as long as the fact of the kiss remains, it means that I have made a mistake."

"So, why do you have to share this responsibility with me..."

Facing the unyielding Chihaya Tetsuya, Sankaku Hatsuka, who was no longer able to refuse, said in a slightly tired voice:

"You and them are already so happy, why don't you just let me suffer the consequences alone?"

"I said before, if possible, I want everyone around me to be happy. And to you, Ai and Xiangzi are also very important people, right?"

Chihaya Tetsuya shook his head.

"Just as you don't want to destroy our relationship, I don't want you to lose this hard-earned connection with them."

"Ugh……"

Faced with Chihaya Tetsuya's firm stance and his unwillingness to back down, Sankaku Hatsuka could only sigh deeply.

"I understand...Tomorrow...I will go back with you..."

"Well, that's right."

Seeing that Sankaku Hatsuka finally agreed, Chihaya Tetsu nodded first, then took out his cell phone -

"...Okay, sent."

"? What did you send out?"

"Oh, I just told Xiangzi that you and I have something very important to confess to everyone tomorrow morning. I hope everyone can set aside time for me in the morning... Ah, Xiangzi has replied."

"..."

Sanjiao Chuhua, who had completely lost the energy to complain, simply lay back down.

"What did she say?"

"She just said 'I know.'"

"Ugh……"

Sanjiao Chuhua sighed deeply again.

The scene of Xiangzi urgently calling everyone together and criticizing her and Chihaya Tetsuya for what happened tonight appeared in her mind.

"Why... Xiangzi had to come up with this abominable 'harem' plan... If I had just let you choose someone to date normally, I would definitely have given up on you..."

If she hadn't had this plan, she would have definitely hidden this undeveloped feeling in her heart and silently supported Xiangzi or Ai.

However, Xiangzi's plan was an unprecedented success. Not only did it connect the four girls who were closely related to her, but it also left a fait accompli that made it impossible for Chihayatetsu to turn back.

It is precisely because of this that Sanjiao Chuhua always retains that hard-to-give-away hope in her heart, which ultimately prompted her to take the series of actions today.

"Actually... if Xiangzi hadn't made this plan, I would probably have chosen no one in the end."

Hearing Sankaku Hatsuka's mumbling, Chihaya Tetsu also said:

"If choosing one side will hurt everyone else, then I would rather choose no one..."

"Yes, Xiangzi said the same thing at that time."

Sanjiao Chuhua nodded.

"Given your personality, you certainly wouldn't make a choice lightly. But based on this, you'll definitely take responsibility and unconditionally take care of all the girls who are still willing to stay with you..."

"You're really Xiangzi. I was planning to do the same thing before."

Chihaya Tetsuya scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"If you are still willing to stay with me, then I will definitely take responsibility. But if you really lose your patience and feelings for me, I will also respect her choice..."

"You think too simply about everyone's feelings towards you."

Sanjiao Chuhua rolled his eyes.

"Love needs no explanation. Xiangzi has already staked his life on you. Aine is your sister, and Su Shi is your important partner in founding Starry Sky... There's no way these four people would give up on you, right?"

"Well, I've already felt this through their actual actions... So, Chuhua, what about you?"

Chihaya Tetsuya turned his head and looked at Sankaku Hatsuka.

"Am I that important to you?"

After hearing this, Sanjiao Chuhua was silent for a moment, and then said:

"…Do you really want me to say it?"

"kindness."

"You are the same to me as Xiangzi and love."

Triangle Chuhua said:

"I yearn for you, admire you, and hope to be able to enjoy this atmosphere of mutual trust between us forever... Do you understand what I mean?"

“…Yes, of course.”

Chihaya Tetsuya shifted his gaze back in front of him and muttered.

"It seems that my understanding of myself is indeed decisively insufficient."

"That's it! You'd better take a good look at yourself starting today!"
