When the breeze blows, the green leaves on the branches rustle. Occasionally, a few leaves fall on the girl's hair, and are brushed away by the boy with a gentle wave of his hand.

At this moment, Sayuri Sawamura happened to enter the room. She accidentally saw this scene, her steps stagnated slightly, and she suddenly stopped trying to remind someone to go home.

She smiled and quietly withdrew.

…

The short two-week winter vacation passed by in a blink of an eye, and before we knew it, it was April, when the birds are flying and the grass is growing.

In such a season, the cherry blossom petals either float dreamily and lightly, or fly everywhere randomly.

A group of students wearing brand new uniforms walked on the road, impatiently waving away the flower petals that came towards them.

They wore crisp white shirts, elegant pleated skirts, and loose trousers. However, the new loafers were not yet accustomed to the owner's pace, making a stiff clicking sound and getting tangled around their feet in an annoying way.

Kato Yusuke carried his own shoulder bag and blended in calmly, moving forward in a low profile.

After the long and gloomy Hokuriku winter, the refreshing breeze caressed the cheeks, bringing genial warmth.

Spring always arouses people's expectations and longing for the future.

Under the blue sky, the green and tender faces of the boys and the cherry-colored side faces of the girls all seem to echo the spring that symbolizes the beginning, full of youthful vitality.

"Good morning, Yusuke."

Accompanied by a pleasant greeting, a hand gently patted Kato Yusuke's shoulder.

He looked back and smiled unconsciously, "Good morning, Hui."

The girl nodded gently in greeting, and a well-placed smile appeared on her attractive face, revealing an indifferent and calm temperament.

"Did you come early today?"

Hui walked up with light steps and walked side by side with him. Her medium-long black hair danced lightly in the wind, shining with a hint of luster under the sunlight.

Kato Yusuke slowed down slightly and said helplessly:

"That's because, as a condition for easing my attendance, the principal requires me to cooperate with the enrollment of new students, so I can't do it sooner."

"Come to think of it~ I remember Yusuke is going to give a speech at the freshman ceremony later, right? You have become the signature of our school. I always think you are so awesome."

"Is this a sarcasm?"

"To be honest, about seventy percent of it is a compliment. Yusuke is great, so there must be no problem."

"Please allow me to ask, what are the remaining three points?"

"Well, let me think about it~"

Hui pondered for a moment, "For example, there must be someone who thinks that our school's student council president might take this opportunity to attack a cute junior girl, right?"

"——That kind of worry is unnecessary!"

Kato Yusuke complained uncharacteristically, pretending not to notice the vaguely awkward atmosphere.

If he wanted to talk about the reason, he knew it completely.

No matter how much you try to pretend to be ordinary, what happened at Mount Fuji is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

If he hadn't used Ying Lili's name to ask her for cooking skills later, perhaps their relationship would have become even more estranged.

As for when he would be able to completely resolve the past feud, he wasn't too worried about that. As long as the other party didn't fight him in a cold war, he could always grind it out slowly.

While Kato Yusuke was thinking this, he said casually: "Speaking of which, it seems that we haven't gone shopping for a while."

Hui's steps stagnated slightly, and then immediately returned to normal, "Yes, that's true. I recently discovered a new market. Let's go there together next time."

"...Then we should still be the same as before, everything will be business as usual?"

"Hey, Yusuke, do you have any other ideas?"

"No, there isn't."

Kato Yusuke shook his head and denied it, feeling grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, I am still willing to cook there as before.

…

Pass through the familiar school gate and come to the bulletin board at the entrance of the school building.

According to liberal arts and science, the class placement results for the new school year are posted above.

…

Kato Yusuke, who confirmed the list of assigned classes, looked to the side and said, "It seems that we are in the same class this year. Please give me your advice, Megumi."

"Hmm~ It's not just the two of us who are in the same class, almost everyone is in the same class, and Yingli is also in it."

"That's right...you should at least pretend to be happy."

"Yes? Then..."

Hui looked away from the bulletin board, turned to look back at him, showing a smile as fresh as the morning sun, her lips parted slightly: "Please give me more advice this year, Yusuke~"

The moist eyes reflected his outline;

The cherry pink cheeks look inexplicably delicate;

The crystal clear lips play a beautiful melody;

The girl smiled softly, her hair flowing as light as silk. Her original indifferent expression was replaced by an irresistible charm at this moment, instantly lighting up someone's face.

Kato Yusuke suddenly didn't know what to say, and then his mouth felt dry and his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.

"Strange... Is the vice president of our school's student union planning to take this opportunity to attack our lovely junior?"

Then Hui's expression immediately turned very pale, and he read and said:

"To be honest, as a woman who has just been dumped, I can't quite feel that way.

Besides, it wouldn’t be good if someone loses their temper just because I go out with a boy~ What do you think, Yusuke?”

Kato Yusuke's expression froze and he was completely mute.

"Yes, what you said is extremely..."
