Chapter 81 A Valentine's Day Kiss Is this what a date with a sports student looks like? ...
As dawn broke, there were already quite a few pedestrians in the square in front of the station.
Yukimura swiped his card and stepped out of the turnstile, tapping his phone screen: "I've arrived."
"Are you a model?"
"So beautiful, are you a celebrity?"
"Is that waist... real?"
Whispering chatter drifted from the mouths of a few boys passing by. Yukimura frowned slightly, his gaze following their direction—
Risa was leaning against the railing.
She wore a black halter-neck knit top that showed off her delicate collarbones, paired with high-waisted wide-leg pants and a khaki belt that accentuated her long legs and slender waist.
A morning breeze rustled through her hair, causing it to flutter slightly.
She looks like a pictorial girl straight out of a fashion magazine.
Yukimura narrowed his eyes.
He remembered her confidently declaring on Line last night, "I'll definitely dress super—ordinary—tomorrow!"
This is anything but ordinary.
After seeing the message, Risa turned to look at him.
"Oichi~!"
Risa waved to him, her hem lifting slightly with the movement, the morning light kissing her slender waistline.
Yukimura's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. The sunlight was rather blinding today.
"Didn't you say to dress 'normally'?" He reached out and caught his girlfriend who was rushing towards him, his fingertips subtly pressing down on the restless hem of her clothes.
Risa blinked, looking completely innocent: "Isn't this normal enough?"
Yukimura: "..."
"Since you're dressed so beautifully," he leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear, "don't complain of being tired later."
Risa: "...?"
Not far away, several boys who had been peeping met Yukimura's gaze, and all of them shuddered and silently retreated.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the plant exhibition, Yukimura handed over a booklet.
"Is this a map?" Risa took it, flipped it open, and gasped. "A seven-kilometer sightseeing route?!"
No wonder he specifically reminded her to wear sneakers last night.
Is this what dating a sports student is like?
Risa: ┮﹏┭
I want to escape. I want to go home and sleep.
Yukimura smiled without saying a word, then took her hand and walked into the park.
Three hours later, Risa collapsed on a bench in the rest area.
“Ashi is a devil…” she wailed, staring at the number “15,788” on her phone’s pedometer. “This isn’t a date, it’s like the tennis club’s hellish training!”
Yukimura pressed the chilled lemon tea against her face: "We've only covered two-thirds of the way."
"I! Won't! Do! It! Anymore!" Risa hugged his lean waist, snuggling against him and acting like a spoiled brat. "Unless you carry me on your back!"
The air suddenly became quiet.
She belatedly raised her head, let go, and tried to retreat, but it was too late.
The world spun around.
Yukimura simply picked her up and carried her horizontally.
"Wait, wait!" Risa hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck. "I was just kidding!"
"It's too late."
"Please, Oichi~ put me down quickly."
There are many tourists watching in the park, she doesn't want to die from being seen ┮﹏┭
"Since you still have the energy to act cute..." He whispered in her ear, "Come to my house after this, and I'll teach you to recognize all the Latin names of these plants."
Risa froze instantly, like a fossil.
In the distance, the caretaker watering the cacti shook his head and sighed, "These young people nowadays..."
-
When we left the plant exhibition, the setting sun had already painted half the sky red.
"So..." Risa shook their clasped hands, "What about our agreed-upon trip to your house?"
Yukimura's purple eyes narrowed slightly: "So excited?"
"Guess?" Risa looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Is the Son of God feeling guilty? His ears are all red."
Yukimura cleared his throat and calmly changed the subject: "Besides my house, is there anywhere else you'd like to go?"
“Well,” Risa thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
Karaoke!
"I want to hear Rikkai's God Child sing 'Renai Circulation'!"
Yukimura: "..."
Thirty minutes later, in the luxuriously decorated VIP box, Yukimura had already mentally prepared himself to "destroy the five senses".
When he glanced up at the screen, he was unusually stunned.
Valentine's Day Kiss / Guosheng Xiaobaihe
(A classic Showa-era love song from 1986)
...How did she find such an antique song that is almost a cultural relic?
"Ta-da! Surprised?" Risa held out the microphone to him. "These are classic songs I carefully selected, perfectly suited to the noble and elegant temperament and gentle yet cool voice of the Son of God!"
Yukimura remained silent, only lowering his eyelashes to gaze at the person before him.
Despite possessing a cool and aloof face, and being both intelligent and beautiful, she smiles like a mischievous Persian cat, showering people with compliments like sugar-coated bullets, so sweet that one might be dazzled if not careful.
“Oichi—”
"The chorus is coming!"
Yukimura's long, slender fingers slowly tightened around the microphone as he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Since you're putting so much effort into this, the kiss part in the chorus later..."
"How about Risa experiences it herself?"
Risa's pupils contracted sharply. Before she could react, Yukimura had already straightened up and placed the microphone to his lips.
The first note hit her eardrums without warning.
His voice was lower than usual, a subtle tone between that of a boy and a man, languid yet clear.
Her slightly drooping eyelashes cast shadows on her eyelids, and her Adam's apple swayed gently with the melody, like a carefully crafted seduction. She performed this old song as if it were a love letter written just for her.
"Hmm..."
Risa instinctively pressed her hand to her wildly pounding heart. No matter how perfect the songs on music apps were, they couldn't compare to the immersive experience she felt right there in the moment.
As the chorus began, Yukimura suddenly looked up at her.
Her purple eyes rippled like the deep sea, spreading layer by layer, permeating her entire body.
Despite the air conditioning being strong in the private room, Risa felt her skin burning and even her fingertips trembled slightly.
How could there be someone—
With just one look, her heart raced and her whole body went numb.
This isn't singing at all.
This is blatant seduction.
Risa unconsciously slowed her breathing, as if her soul had been drawn out, her body floating in mid-air, light and airy.
After Yukimura finished singing the last note, he put down the microphone, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if waiting for her response.
"What?" Yukimura leaned forward, his arm braced against her side. "Is Risa not satisfied?"
"I'm...satisfied!" Risa felt a tightness in her throat as she was enveloped in his aura. "SSS-rank...definitely SSS-rank..."
Yukimura chuckled softly, gently lifting her chin with his fingertips: "Then..."
"Where's my reward?"
Risa stared wide-eyed at the increasingly close, breathtaking face, forgetting even to breathe—
"bite!"
Just then, the song selection system automatically skipped to the next song:
Reject pornography! Reject gambling! Reject pornography, gambling, and drugs!
Accompanied by a righteous and awe-inspiring broadcasting voice, three bright red prohibition symbols popped up on the screen.
Risa: "......"
Did this deafening public service advertisement also reincarnate with her?
Yukimura slowly straightened up, glancing at the screen with a half-smile: "It seems..."
"Even the system is protecting Risa."
-
Sunday, clear
The last modern Chinese literature class before school ends.
"What Mori Ōgai attempted to express in 'The Dancing Girl' is precisely this..."
The teacher's explanation gradually faded into the background noise. Risa rested her chin on her hand, the ballpoint pen twirling between her fingers, a blur of motion, as the scene from that karaoke room that day flashed before her eyes—
Yukimura's eyelashes so close, his breath carrying a cool, minty scent, and those alluring lips...
The pen fell onto the textbook with a "thud".
hateful!
They were only three centimeters apart—
No, two centimeters—
It might only be one centimeter!
"Matsuno-kun," the teacher suddenly called on him, "please answer the question from earlier."
Risa suddenly stood up and blurted out, "Reject pornography, gambling, and drugs!"
The entire class fell silent.
A soft laugh came from beside me.
Turning my head, I saw that Liu Sheng was covering the corners of his mouth, which were turned up, with his textbook.
Two rows away, Sanada Genichiro cast a sharp glance at her. As his lips moved, Risa clearly read out the classic line: "Too relaxed."
"......"
Risa also felt that she had been too lax lately.
No wonder high school students in China are not allowed to date early; it's a strategic policy to protect girls! Look at her now: the blank spaces in her textbooks are filled with someone's profile, and she's actually thinking about sex in class.
Somehow, this story reached Yukimura's ears, and he teased him about it for quite a while.
"Does Risa really want my kiss that much?"
When Yukimura came to her house to tutor Akaya over the weekend, he suddenly asked her this question.
"Cough—!" Risa choked on her saliva and glanced frantically towards the kitchen. Akaya was adding ice to the juice and didn't notice what was happening.
"In...in someone else's house..." she lowered her voice, giving Yukimura a glare, "Can't we talk about something healthy!"
Yukimura chuckled, leaning down as if to put down the workbook: "After Akaya falls asleep..." His warm breath brushed against her earlobe, "Shall we discuss this topic properly again?"
Risa froze instantly: (○д)
This conversation sounds more and more like a bizarre late-night drama unfolding!
"Heh..." Yukimura straightened up, looking at her with a leisurely air. "Risa's expression... is she imagining some unhealthy scene?"
"No way!" Risa grabbed a cushion and pressed it to her face, her voice muffled. "Oichi, you're not allowed to say weird things, or it'll all be your fault if I don't get into university..."
Yukimura chuckled upon hearing this and gently pulled away the pillow that was covering her face. Under Risa's panicked gaze, he suddenly became serious, "I'm sorry, I got too carried away."
He leaned down slightly to meet her gaze, his voice soft and earnest: "I promise I won't do anything to distract you before you graduate."
Risa was taken aback, not expecting him to be so serious. She opened her mouth, but before she could respond, she saw the corners of his lips slightly upturn, and that familiar slyness reappeared in his eyes.
"Even if T doesn't pass the exam in the end, it's because that little idiot didn't work hard enough."
“…Yukimura Seiichi!” Risa glared at him angrily, her eyes meeting those of the seaweed who was standing at the door with a glass of juice.
The glass tray trembled slightly in the boy's hands, and tiny ripples appeared on the surface of the orange juice.
Akaya Kirihara is facing the most difficult choice of his life, with four options popping into his mind:
[Option A] Immediately bow and say "I didn't hear anything," then retreat at lightning speed;
[Option B] Imitate Vice-Captain Sanada's stern face and say "Too lax," then get hit in a mixed doubles match;
[Option C] Try to smooth things over by saying, "Senior and Risa-nee should get along well."
[Option D] Faint on the spot to escape reality.
If there are three long and one short, choose the shortest; if there are three short and one long, choose the longest; if the lengths are different, choose B; if they are not uniform, choose D; if they are all the same length, choose A; if they are all the same length, choose C.
Kirihara's brain completed a high-speed calculation within 5 seconds: three long and one short, choose the shortest.
He was just about to fake fainting on the spot when he saw Yukimura-senpai turn his head with a smile, his voice extremely gentle:
"Akaya, what are you standing there for?"
"...There are still 27 math problems left, right?"
Kirihara's pupils trembled violently.
This...this is completely outside the options!
