"It's all your fault, the porridge is burnt! I worked so hard to make it!"
Kushida Kikyo pouted angrily, while Bai Yuze, putting the pot into the sink, said in a sorrowful tone.
"Ah, I won't get to eat Little Kikyo's breakfast. I'm suddenly a bit sad!"
"Heh, if you want to eat, go make it yourself. I don't have the energy to make you more."
Kushida Kikyo rolled over and wrapped herself in the blanket. She pulled out her phone and started maintaining her social circle.
She was forced to stay in Bai Yuze's room for a day and a night, and she politely declined all invitations from D-class students and students from other classes.
Maintaining daily social interactions in Sakura Country requires a lot of effort, especially for someone like Kushida Kikyo, who is determined to be a socialite. She practically says yes to every request, and the price is that some people treat her as a trash can, coming to her to vent whenever they have troubles.
"Still chatting? You really want to be a socialite, huh."
Bai Yuze walked out of the kitchen, looking at Kushida Kikyo, who was constantly switching screens and chatting with friends. He felt a bit helpless; although he didn't understand, he respected it.
"I can't help it. Besides being kind, I don't have any other characteristics. Heh, I guess you wouldn't like my personality either, would you?"
Kushida Kikyo sighed. Sometimes she didn't want to be like this, but ever since she was disgusted by her deskmate once when she was little, she became somewhat obsessed with that visible but intangible power...
"Hmm, how should I put it, I don't dislike your personality at all. I even find it cute."
Bai Yuze thought seriously for a while and gave his answer.
"Cute? Are you an M?"
Kushida Kikyo rolled over and looked at Bai Yuze with a playful gaze.
This was quite a challenge for Bai Yuze. If he lost his temper, his words would be self-defeating. If he admitted it, then he would be an M.
But this simple trick naturally couldn't stump Bai Yuze.
Bai Yuze chose "and" between "losing his temper and admitting it"!
"Well, I might be an S, after all, I know what to do with naughty children."
Bai Yuze slowly approached Kushida Kikyo. Kushida Kikyo quickly shrank to the corner of the bed, looking at Bai Yuze with pitiful eyes.
"I'm sorry, please let me go."
"Look at you, what are you thinking about all day? Give me your phone."
Bai Yuze tapped Kushida Kikyo's head. He was a bit speechless; was he really that scary?
"Oh."
Kushida Kikyo unlocked her phone and handed it to Bai Yuze. Just as Bai Yuze took the phone, a message came in.
"Little Kikyo! Can I borrow some points? I'll pay you back next month!"
Bai Yuze was a bit surprised. How many days had it been, and she had already spent all her points? He glanced up, and the sender was: Karuizawa Kei.
"Uh… do you girls spend a lot when you go out?"
Bai Yuze calculated… it hadn't even been a week since school started. Was Class D really that extraordinary?
"Hmm… it's quite a lot. Not only do we go shopping for clothes, but we also go to dessert shops to eat whatever desserts we want, and sometimes we even go to karaoke to sing."
Bai Yuze: ...
"Explode, normies!"
Bai Yuze grumbled. He recalled that Karuizawa Kei, having experienced school bullying, disguised herself as a strong, gyaru-like figure to protect herself. In Class D, she formed a fake boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Hirata Yosuke to gain protection and avoid further bullying.
"Karuizawa? Interesting, I might be able to use her…"
Bai Yuze muttered to himself, and Kushida Kikyo heard every word he said.
"What? You're already preparing to expand your personnel?"
Kushida Kikyo looked at Bai Yuze playfully. To ensure her safety, she had wrapped herself up tightly, only showing her small head.
"What do you mean by expanding personnel? Don't I have you?"
"Heh, who would believe that? I have a feeling you'll find many women! And every single one of them will be exceptionally beautiful."
With that, Kushida Kikyo felt a bit unwilling. She crawled out of the covers and hugged Bai Yuze's head, examining him carefully.
"Tsk… you don't have horns on your head, nor a tail on your butt, so why are you like a male succubus, attracting other people's women?"
"Hey, hey, hey… isn't it a bit rude to describe your boyfriend as a succubus? Also, hurry up and put on your clothes, you'll catch a cold and then you'll suffer for it!"
Kushida Kikyo hugged Bai Yuze, causing all the air Bai Yuze breathed to be filtered through Kushida Kikyo's body scent.
It was like a human fragrance enhancer!
"Hmph! Do your own things yourself, after all, none of my clothes fall off by themselves!"
Bai Yuze touched his nose awkwardly when he heard Kushida Kikyo's words. He searched around the bed for Kushida Kikyo's clothes.
Just then… he suddenly remembered something.
"Kikyo, how many points do you still have on your phone?"
"Points?"
Kushida Kikyo was startled, then recalled carefully.
"Excluding buying clothes and shopping with classmates from Class D… going to karaoke… plus lending points to senior students… I probably have over twenty thousand left!"
"Uh… wouldn't lending to classmates be enough… why do you also lend to seniors?"
"Yuze, you clearly aren't someone who's good at socializing with others. You definitely can't limit yourself to just one circle; you have to expand outwards!"
Kushida Kikyo certainly taught Bai Yuze a lesson, and Bai Yuze profoundly expressed that he had learned it.
"But don't apply this theory to yourself! For example, finding those younger and older types… No! Absolutely no!
Older types are barely acceptable, but younger types will be scorned by the world!"
"Uh… what's gotten into you now?"
Bai Yuze began to introspect. Could it be that he had driven Kushida Kikyo crazy? Although the H-manga and doujinshi always said… 'my brain is going to break'… that was just an exaggeration, right…
He couldn't have really driven Kushida Kikyo crazy, could he?
"Kikyo…"
Bai Yuze stared intently at Kushida Kikyo, which made Kushida Kikyo feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
"What… why are you suddenly looking at me like that…"
Bai Yuze placed his hands on Kushida Kikyo's shoulders, his eyes firm.
"No matter what, I will never abandon you."
"What… that's so random…"
Kushida Kikyo turned her head to the side. In fact, for Kushida Kikyo, who had just experienced intimacy, her heart was also very conflicted.
After all, their relationship was an impulsive act, without any emotional groundwork. She was very afraid that this relationship would end abruptly and hastily. Therefore, her seemingly teasing remarks towards Bai Yuze were actually attempts to test him and prepare herself mentally.
She was afraid that one day, Bai Yuze's back would gradually fade into the distance, and she wouldn't even have the ability to catch up…
