Ichinose Honami: Let's Fill Out the Marriage Registration Form First. / Kushida Kikyo: I'm Sorry, Ichinose.

Should I break up with my boyfriend?

That's even more impossible. Ichinose Honami had been able to turn a blind eye for so long because she was unwilling to break up with Hashiba Hikaru, which is the ending the girl can least accept.

"Sorry."

Hashiba Hikaru hugged the trembling girl tightly, her voice filled with melancholy.

Chapter 540 Ichinose Honami: Let's fill in the Marriage Registration first.

In the dormitory, Hashiba Hikaru hugged Ichinose Honami waist. After he apologized, she could clearly feel that the girl was crying.

"It's all my fault, Honami, you don't need to hold back. Just yell at me, it'll make you feel better."

The young man gently Ichinose Honami's back, saying, "You already have such a wonderful girlfriend like Honami, yet you still did something like this."

"Hmm..."

The pink-haired girl's body trembled incessantly, tears streaming down her face. She was truly tormented, unable to accept this situation yet unwilling to break up with Hashiba Hikaru, thus finding herself caught in a dilemma from the very beginning.

"No matter what, Honami did nothing wrong; it's all my fault."

Hashiba Hikaru's tone was very sincere.

"So, what do you think we should do?"

Ichinose Honami looked up at her boyfriend's face; her beautiful eyes, washed by tears, appeared even clearer and brighter at that moment.

"I..."

Hashiba Hikaru was speechless for a moment. Although he had made it clear that he wanted it all, the boy knew very well that he had no right to ask others to accept his idea.

Achieving a happy ending for everyone requires a lot of effort.

What happened today serves as a reminder that hesitation can hurt both people, but being too decisive can also hurt both. This is the cruel reality of relationship problems.

"Does light mean you want it all?"

A strange light flashed in Ichinose Honami's eyes. The girl had actually noticed this before, but she brought it up now.

"... yes."

After a moment of silence, Hashiba Hikaru forced himself to speak his mind. He couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, because in this world, there might be women who don't eat, but there are definitely no women who don't get jealous.

No one wants to share their loved one with others, and gaining the support of others is extremely difficult.

"... Is that really the case?"

A sorrowful smile appeared on Ichinose Honami's face, making her even more endearing. "Do you really think something like this is possible?"

"I want everyone to be happy, and even if it means facing many difficulties, I still want to try."

Hashiba Hikaru's tone was firm.

"If I don't agree with Hikari's ideas, will you break up with me?"

The plan that Ichinose Honami had thought of yesterday flashed through her mind, and she gritted her teeth as she uttered those words.

"... Won't."

Hashiba Hikaru shook her head. "If Honami doesn't agree, I'll keep trying to find a way, but breaking up with you is impossible."

"Why? Are you trying to force me to accept your ideas?"

Ichinose Honami's tone turned colder. Although that wasn't what she really thought, she had no other choice but to fight for her own interests.

Of course not.

Hashiba Hikaru smiled and explained, "If Honami doesn't accept it, I'll find a way to make you accept it. I won't use love to manipulate you, but rather I want you to gradually understand my thoughts. Although it's selfish of me, I hope you can give me a year."

"A year?"

"Yes, if Honami doesn't agree, I'll give you a year to change your mind."

"What if... I still don't agree in the end?"

This statement was practically a revelation; after Ichinose Honami said it, her heart was pounding. If Hashiba Hikaru didn't give in, the pink-haired girl might break down before she did.

Even in her dreams, a girl wouldn't accept breaking up with her partner.

"In that case..."

Hashiba Hikaru was immediately caught in a serious dilemma. Although she had been dating Ichinose Honami for a long time, she still didn't dare to truly grasp what the girl was thinking. The girl was a living, breathing person, not a game character whose CG could be unlocked by increasing affection. She would have her own true thoughts and judgments.

If she really doesn't want to, then I can't force her to agree.

"In that case..."

After repeating it twice, and watching the struggle on the boy's face, Ichinose Honami finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Guangxian, there's no need to rush to come up with a solution. I don't think things have reached that point yet."

"Yes... I've actually had this idea for a while now."

Hashiba Hikaru carefully examined his girlfriend. "Although I just told Honami that I wanted it all, I can't force everyone to think the same way I do."

"If we try our best and still can't change Honami's mind, then we'll have no choice but to..."

The boy didn't finish his sentence because the girl in his arms reached out and covered his mouth with her small hand.

"..."

"I don't need to make that assumption; maybe I'll change my mind in the end."

Ichinose Honami stared intently into the other person's eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Then I'll have to work hard and try my best to make Honami change his mind."

After understanding the girl's hint, Hashiba Hikaru had a sudden realization, and a relaxed smile finally appeared on her lips.

"Hmph, if you want me to change my mind, you'd better treat me twice as well!"

Ichinose Honami wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she first entered Kushida Kikyo's room, she maintained a calm demeanor to conceal her true thoughts. At that moment, the girl was thinking about how to resolve the matter in a logical and reasonable way.

"Does Honami have any thoughts?"

"Hmm..."

The girl nestled even closer into Hashiba Hikaru's arms. "I haven't decided yet, but I have a very important condition that Hikari needs to agree to first."

"What are the conditions?"

Hashiba Hikaru looked at the other person's pretty face, which was stained with tears.

No matter how close he gets with other girls, he can only marry me in the end!

Ichinose Honami said, enunciating each word clearly, "If you only agree to this one condition, I will definitely change my mind in the end."

"Okay, I promise you."

Hashiba Hikaru agreed to the request without the slightest hesitation. He was already planning to marry Ichinose Honami, who was his official girlfriend, so it was only right no matter what.

"Real?"

"Real."

Hashiba Hikaru nodded seriously. "I've already spoken with Ichinose's Mother and Miu. Once I reach the legal age, Honami and I will go to apply for Marriage Registration together. Is that alright?"

"Um!"

Ichinose Honami's beautiful eyes sparkled with a bright light. The next second, she broke free from Hashiba Hikaru's embrace and turned to walk into the bedroom.

"Honami, what are you doing?"

"Since Guang has already agreed, let's fill out the Marriage Registration first."

"?"

A short while later, the girl came out of the bedroom with a piece of paper in her hand. Hashiba Hikaru glanced at it and realized it was the latest version of the Marriage Registration document.

"I've finished my part. Now, Hikaru, please fill in the rest. After you're done, send this document home. I've already talked to my mom, and after I graduate, Hikaru and I will go submit it to the Ward Office together."

Ichinose Honami held a pen, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

Wait a minute, didn't she already plan this out?

Have I fallen into a trap?

Chapter 541 Kushida Kikyo: I'm sorry, Ichinose.

After Hashiba Hikaru finished filling in the remaining part of the Marriage Registration, Ichinose Honami carefully put away this important document, a satisfied smile appearing on her pretty face.

"Is this okay?"

Putting down her pen, Hashiba Hikaru looked somewhat helpless. Even though she had already sensed that Ichinose Honami was probably also struggling with how to handle the situation, she abandoned her anxieties and made a more proactive decision.

This is a good thing, representing a unique kind of growth for Ichinose Honami.

But it's also a bad thing, because Hashiba Hikaru isn't entirely clear on the aftermath of today's surprise attack. Kushida Kikyo and Ichinose Honami are good friends from different classes, so how will they get along in the future?

Once this is considered, the boy will find it troublesome.

But on second thought, today was a crucial step forward. If we want everything, we must gradually get everyone to accept this.

"Hikaru, are you going to text Kushida?"

After carefully packing the Marriage Registration, Ichinose Honami sat back down next to Hashiba Hikaru and rested her head on the boy's shoulder.

"Honami wants to see her now?"

Hashiba Hikaru hesitated for a moment.

"Well, since she'll be maintaining a close relationship with Hikaru in the future, I think it's better to meet her."

The girl's expression didn't seem to be joking; she looked extremely serious.

"Honami..."

"Don't worry, Hikaru, I won't argue with Kushida,"

Seeing her boyfriend's conflicted expression, Ichinose Honami gently comforted him, "Hikaru probably hopes that I can get along well with her, right?"

"Yes, this is my wish."

"Then please have Guang call her over so we can talk."

The pink-haired girl repeated it again.

"... good."

Hashiba Hikaru probably understood what Ichinose Honami was thinking, so she stopped worrying about it and directly took out her phone to send a message to Kushida Kikyo.

The two waited together in the dormitory for about five minutes when there was a knock on the door.

"I'll go open the door."

Ichinose Honami was very proactive at this moment. She asked Hashiba Hikaru to sit on the sofa and went to open the door for the short-haired girl by herself.

"..."

"Kushida, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Seeing that Kushida Kikyo was too shy to speak, Ichinose Honami took the initiative to invite her in, speaking in a gentle tone.

Her enthusiasm only made the short-haired girl, who was already feeling uneasy, even more confused. After entering the room, Kushida immediately saw Hashiba Hikaru sitting on the sofa, and she even waved to her.

"Kushida. I just boiled some water; let me pour you a cup of tea first."

Ichinose Honami spoke like a hostess entertaining guests. After Kushida Kikyo carefully sat down on the sofa, she went to the stove to prepare tea without any hesitation, her demeanor very composed.

"Hikaru-kun, what's wrong?"

The short-haired girl tilted her head and asked in a low voice in Hashiba Hikaru's ear.

"Hmm... it's a bit complicated to explain, but Kikyo, don't worry, it should be fine."

Hashiba Hikaru's voice was gentle, hoping to ease Kushida Kikyo's tension.

"Really?"

"Really, she won't pull your hair, don't worry."
