The Christmas Night Photos Are Published

Hashiba Hikaru smiled and said to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Sato, "Then we'll be leaving now, we won't disturb you any longer."

"No, I'm also very happy to have met Classmate Hashiba and Ichinose today."

A hint of shyness appeared on Sato's face. She had developed feelings for Ayanokoji by chance, and given her preference for good looks, Hashiba Hikaru was clearly the one who best suited her requirements.

Unfortunately, such a handsome guy is already taken. Sato Maya knows she has no chance. After all, Ichinose Honami's appearance is too outstanding, and most girls wouldn't even be interested in competing with her.

"Okay, bye-bye."

After waving goodbye, watching Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Sato Maya's departing figures, Hashiba Hikaru chuckled and said, "Then let's move on to the next item."

"Hmm, I'm really looking forward to the homemade cake. I think Hikaru would prefer strawberry-flavored cream, right?"

Ichinose Honami has some understanding of her boyfriend's tastes.

"Yes, but you can try different things when you make it later. It doesn't have to be exactly what I like."

"I can't eat too much cake; it has to be something I like, otherwise it would be a waste."

"... Then let's do whatever Honami."

The two headed to their next activity of the date, arriving at a cozy handmade shop. Since Hashiba Hikaru had booked a cake-making service, the waiter confirmed the booking and led them into the DIY baking room.

"This apron is so cute!"

Upon seeing an apron with a dog pattern, Ichinose Honami's eyes lit up.

"Then let's use this one."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly, carefully helped the girl put on her apron, and then joined in the process of making the handmade cake.

This shop offers very comprehensive tutorials and professional bakers to guide you, so the cake-making process is quite enjoyable, much more fun than watching a romantic movie in a theater.

After spending more than an hour examining the decent-looking cream cake in front of her, Ichinose Honami's pretty face showed a smile full of accomplishment. She glanced at the boy beside her, and a bold idea suddenly arose in her mind.

"Light?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Hashiba Hikaru turned his head in response, but the next moment he saw the girl stick a piece of cream on her finger and hold it straight at him. It seemed she did it on purpose, and the cream was smeared all over his face.

Merry Christmas, Light.

"..."

Hashiba Hikaru touched the cream on his face, took a deep breath, and immediately leaned over to stick more cream on his fingers, launching a fierce attack on Ichinose Honami.

"Oh dear, I was wrong, I'm so sorry."

"Hmph, you started this, I won't let Honami off easily!"

"Hmm..."

Just as the two were playfully wrestling, the cake-making instructor, a woman in her thirties, walked into the baking room. Seeing the two smearing cream on each other, she said with a hint of exasperation, "Please don't make this place too messy, guests. You need to clean it up before you leave."

"Oh, okay, we understand. Sorry."

Upon hearing this, Hashiba Hikaru immediately released Ichinose Honami's soft waist and began wiping the cream off her face with a tissue. The girl naturally followed suit and started cleaning with him.

"Hmph, it's all Honami."

"The light is just too much! I only made a small piece, and you made so much!"

Ichinose Honami's pretty face was covered in cream, making her look quite comical.

"Who told you to provoke me first?"

Hashiba Hikaru shrugged. After the two of them cleaned up the baking room, the finished cake had already been packaged. At that moment, the female baker walked in with a chocolate plaque.

"The cake is already wrapped up, all that's left is this chocolate plaque. Want to try writing on it?"

"Hmm, how many words can it write?"

Staring at the chocolate plaque in front of her, the pink-haired girl pondered what to fill in.

"He can probably write five or six words. There's jam over there; please help yourselves."

The female baker left after explaining; she wasn't going to stay and be a third wheel.

"Guang, what do you think we should write?"

Ichinose Honami began to ponder.

"How about we write our names?"

Hashiba Hikaru drew a heart shape in the air with her finger and explained with a smile, "I'll wrap it up with another heart shape on the outside."

"Okay, let's do it that way."

Because the chocolate plaque wasn't very big, Ichinose Honami wrote "[HikaruHonami]" on it and then drew a complete heart on the outside. After finishing, the girl placed the chocolate on top of the cake with a rather ceremonial touch.

"Then let's go back."

"Um."

Carrying the cake back to the dormitory, Hashiba Hikaru asked Ichinose to sit down and rest first. He took the initiative to organize his purchases for the day. Apart from the other items he bought, he decided to put the cake in the refrigerator and eat it later that evening.

Once everything was almost done, Ichinose Honami and the boy sat together on the soft sofa. She touched her boyfriend's arm, then got up and snuggled into his arms.

"How was your day? Did you have a good time?"

Hashiba Hikaru gently embraced the girl's soft body, her voice tender.

"Happy!"

"Honami must have had a tough time lately. How was it working with Kiryuin- senpai?"

"I learned a lot from my senior. Although it was tough, I felt it was all worth it as long as I could help Guang."

The pink-haired girl's voice was soft. She reached out her small hand and grasped her boyfriend's large hand, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"That's good. I was worried that Honami was working too hard."

Hashiba Hikaru gently squeezed her small hand, her voice melodious. "After the second semester ends, is there anything Honami wants to do during winter break?"

"Hmm, I haven't decided yet."

After the second semester ends, the school will have a winter break of about ten days, Hashiba Hikaru plans to make good use of this time.

"You can think about it first. Whatever Honami wants to do, I will support you."

"How about we go out and have some fun?"

"... Leaving the school?"

Hashiba Hikaru paused for a moment, then realized it was a very good idea. Although the school prohibited anyone from leaving the school, this rule was still within the framework of the S System.

Now that they have so many resources at their disposal, they are fully qualified to give it a try.

"Yes, I want my family to see the light. What do you think?"

A look of anticipation flickered in the girl's eyes. Although the idea had just popped into her head, it had immediately taken root in her heart, making Ichinose Honami extremely eager.

"Sure, I'll give it a try. After all, there's nothing you can't buy with points in this school..."

Chapter 421: Photos from Christmas Eve Published.

Thinking about her winter break plans, Ichinose Honami felt great. After a while, the girl started preparing dinner, humming a song as she processed the ingredients, radiating joy.

"Going out to play is really great; staying here for too long gets boring."

Hashiba Hikaru thought about it. Actually, he had always overlooked this direction before. Now that he had so many resources, he could try taking someone with him when he left school. Although there might be some procedures to go through, it would make high school life more colorful.

After all, you can keep earning points, but time that's gone can never be regained.

Looking up at the girl busy at the stove, the boy smiled. He was looking forward to meeting Ichinose Honami's parents, since he would definitely need their approval before marrying her.

"Hikaru, dinner will be ready soon, come and serve the dishes."

"Yes, I heard you!"

Cooking in Hashiba Hikaru's dorm has become Ichinose Honami. She is quite familiar with the process and cooks very quickly. Moreover, the girl is looking forward to her Christmas presents today, which makes her particularly motivated.

"That's really good, Honami's cooking skills are getting better and better."

After tasting a piece of steaming hot beef, Hashiba Hikaru praised it highly.

"If it's delicious, eat more; there's plenty here anyway."

Ichinose Honami watched her boyfriend, who was enjoying his meal, with a smile, feeling very satisfied.

"Yes, Honami, you should eat too, we have important business to attend to later."

"What important matter is it?"

"Of course, it's time for the Christmas present reveal! Please look forward to it Honami!"

Hashiba Hikaru explained with a smile.

"Oh, could you give me a hint? I'd like to guess."

The pink-haired girl's eyes sparkled with a joyful smile; it was clear she was genuinely looking forward to it.

"Hmm, the hint is... this is something you can use on your person."

Because he couldn't show favoritism, and since he gave Kushida Kikyo a bracelet, Ichinose Honami, as his official girlfriend, naturally couldn't be left behind, Hashiba Hikaru chose an even more exquisite gift.

"Something you use on your body? Is it cosmetics?"

"No."

"Could it be clothes?"

"No, not either."

After guessing several answers without success, Ichinose Honami rubbed her cheeks and gave up, saying, "I'll stop guessing for now. I'll find out soon enough."

"No problem."

After finishing his meal, seeing the somewhat restless girl, Hashiba Hikaru couldn't help but smile inwardly. Without keeping her in suspense, he immediately went into the bedroom after tidying up the table and took out a beautifully packaged box from under the desk.

"Ta-da! The presents are here!"

The smiling boy handed the gift to Ichinose Honami. Seeing her eyes change from nervousness to excitement, Hashiba Hikaru said, "Then please open the gift, Honami. I think you'll like it."

"Uh-huh."

After nodding emphatically, Ichinose Honami began to tear open the outer packaging. The gift didn't look very big, weighing only a few hundred grams in her hand, which made the girl even more suspicious.

A few seconds later, the box was opened, revealing its contents.

It was a crystal-clear blue jade necklace. The chain was made of silver metal, and the jade in the center emitted a faint blue light. The blue jade was surrounded by a special border, giving it a unique texture.

"So, do you like it?"

"... like."

Although she wasn't quite sure of the item's value, Ichinose Honami was overjoyed after seeing the gift. She stroked the jade, and the cold touch on her fingertips fueled an even stronger passion within her.

"If you like it, then I'll put it on Honami. After all, it can only be of value when it's worn."

Hashiba Hikaru chuckled softly and asked Ichinose Honami to turn around. The girl immediately cooperated by sweeping her long pink hair to her chest, revealing her fair neck.

"Be careful, it might get a little cold."

Hashiba Hikaru placed the necklace on Ichinose Honami's chest, then slowly gathered it up, locking the delicate clasp at the back of her neck. He then gently guided the girl to the mirror, saying softly, "This is the most perfect way."

"Uh-huh."

The girl in the mirror had a very pretty face, with a faint blush on her cheeks. Corresponding to her perfect appearance was the blue jade at her chest. Because Ichinose Honami was wearing a white sweater, it further accentuated her perfect figure. Paired with a shimmering necklace, she exuded a unique and noble aura.

"Thank you for the Christmas present, Light. I'll reciprocate with a nice gift for Valentine's Day."

Ichinose Honami stroked the necklace on her chest, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"I'll be looking forward to it!"

Hehehe.

After giving the gifts, it was time to eat the cake. However, before that Ichinose Honami suddenly felt that it would be a pity to just eat the cake like this, so she first took out her phone to take a nice picture of the cake, and then used a knife to cut the cake into pieces.

"If we can't finish it all today, we can bring some for everyone to try tomorrow."

Hashiba Hikaru, holding a cake decorated with strawberries, smiled slightly, "Let everyone experience Honami's culinary skills."
