Horikita Suzune's Longing.

"Clear."

"We will work hard."

"I'm done, thank you."

After the boy sat down, another round of applause erupted in the Conference Room. Miyabi Nagumo calmly looked at all the Student Council members in front of him, his expression showing no unusual behavior.

"Vice President Hashiba is indeed a great help to me. Your abilities are evident to everyone. I will definitely entrust the Student Council to you after I enter my third year so that I can feel at ease."

Miyabi Nagumo spoke gently, adopting the demeanor of a senior who valued his junior.

"Thank you for your praise, President Nagumo. I still have many shortcomings and need to work on them."

"Vice President Hashiba is still too modest."

The blond man shook his head, then stood up to summarize today's meeting. As the Student Council President, he naturally had the authority to end the meeting.

"That concludes today's meeting. Meeting adjourned."

Thank you everyone.

After the meeting was adjourned, Miyabi Nagumo called out to Hashiba Hikaru, who was about to leave the Conference Room.

"Vice President Hashiba, please wait a moment."

"What's wrong, President Nagumo?"

Hashiba Hikaru calmly turned her head.

"Has Vice President Hashiba read the reform plan I mentioned last time?"

Miyabi Nagumo picked up a document from the table. After starting to fight for power with Hashiba Hikaru, many of his plans could not be implemented because he could not get more than half the votes.

"I've seen it."

"I think this plan is really suitable. The Third Semester is almost over, but not a single student has dropped out of school."

Miyabi Nagumo showed a regretful expression, as if the number of students dropping out of school was a very important indicator for him.

"What's wrong with that? Everyone is working hard, and isn't it a great result that no one dropped out?"

Hashiba Hikaru looked at the other person's face, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"It seems Vice President Hashiba still doesn't understand the school's purpose. Please take this new proposal back and take a look."

Miyabi Nagumo seemed completely unconcerned about Hashiba Hikaru's attitude and simply pushed the document in front of the boy.

"No matter what the plan is, it needs to be voted on by the Student Council officers before it can be implemented. Has President Nagumo forgotten?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but I've already discussed this plan with the Chairman, and he thinks it's very suitable. Perhaps it will be fully implemented throughout the school in the future."

"Is that so?"

Hashiba Hikaru raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected that Miyabi Nagumo would intend to bypass the Student Council's internal collective vote in this way.

"This is just a preliminary plan. Vice President Hashiba can take a look first. The final decision will not be made by the Student Council, but by the Chairman and the class advisors."

Miyabi Nagumo smiled slightly, "However, there is one thing I would like to ask Vice President Hashiba to pay close attention to: this plan should not be circulated, since there are only two people who know about it right now."

"I understand. Is there anything else, President Nagumo?"

"It's alright now."

"I'll get back to work now, goodbye President Nagumo."

Clutching the document tightly in her hand, Hashiba Hikaru walked out of the Conference Room expressionlessly.

Wednesday arrived in the blink of an eye. After finishing his Student Council duties for the day, Hashiba Hikaru Hashima immediately received a text message from Horikita Suzune as he walked out of the Student Council office.

The boy is going to her dorm to meet her today, and he won't break his promise.

This was the first time visiting Horikita Suzune's dorm since they became a couple. Hashiba Hikaru bought a small gift on the way there, intending to add a touch of ceremony to today's meeting.

Knock knock knock.

Five or six seconds after the knocking, the black-haired girl opened the door and welcomed Hashiba Hikaru inside.

"This is a gift for Suzune. I don't know if you'll like it, but try it first."

The boy opened the small box in his hand, inside was an exquisitely designed fruit cake. Considering that girls might be more concerned about their weight, Hashiba Hikaru had specially chosen a style with very little cream.

"Hikari, thank you."

A smile appeared on Horikita Suzune's pretty face. She didn't actually like cakes that much, but since the other party had specially chosen them, the girl was still very happy.

"Hmm, Suzune, try it first. There's no rush to prepare dinner."

Hashiba Hikaru cut a piece of cake and handed it to the other person, saying, "I heard this flavor is very popular with the girls at school, it must have something special about it."

"Hmm, let's have one too."

Horikita Suzune had never experienced eating cake with others, even when she was little. Girls rarely celebrated their birthdays because she was only focused on catching up with her brother as soon as possible; nothing else mattered.

"It's alright, and not too greasy."

Hashiba Hikaru took a bite of the cake. As the cake shop's best-selling item, its size was indeed quite suitable as a small dessert; no wonder it was so popular.

"I think it tastes delicious."

"That's good."

After the black-haired girl swallowed the cake in her mouth, the aroma of cream and fruit filled her nostrils, making her feel happy, not because of the food, but because of the person sitting opposite her.

"Light."

"What's wrong?"

Hashiba Hikaru looked up at her.

"I actually have a lot of things I want to do, can you come with me?"

"Certainly."

Chapter 544 Horikita Suzune's Desire.

After sharing the small cake, Hashiba Hikaru and Horikita Suzune prepared dinner together. Perhaps due to her long period of living independently, the black-haired girl was quite skilled in cooking and could easily prepare many complicated dishes.

"I never would have guessed that Suzune's cooking skills were so amazing."

Hashiba Hikaru stood beside the girl, handing over the cooking to her while he assisted her.

"I can also make bento boxes. Do you just want to try them?"

After being praised by Hashiba Hikaru, the black-haired girl did not show any shyness on her pretty face, because she had something more important to her. Even as a "lover," the girl still had her own pride.

"Well, I usually eat lunch in the cafeteria, so I won't trouble you, Suzune."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled and shook her head, disagreeing with Horikita Suzune's suggestion.

Bringing lunches is too dangerous. Even when Ichinose Honami mentioned making lunches to him, the boy didn't agree. Because of time management, it's better to prohibit such things.

"Oh well."

Horikita Suzune seemed to sense Hashiba Hikaru's predicament and did not dwell on it further, instead focusing intently on preparing dinner.

After the steaming hot food was served, the black-haired girl glanced at Hashiba Hikaru standing next to her and said, "Hikari, could you please help me take off my apron?"

"Sure."

Hashiba Hikaru naturally had no objection to such a trivial matter. He moved closer to the girl and immediately smelled the delicate fragrance emanating from Horikita Suzune.

As a solitary girl, Horikita Suzune's outer shell may be a hard layer of ice, but once you cross that ice, you'll have the chance to see the oasis hidden behind it—the most beautiful place in the world.

Her pride and stubbornness are both very unique qualities.

Do you spend a lot of time cooking in your dorm room?

Feeling the boy behind her untying his apron, Horikita Suzune's lips curled into a faint smile.

"Right now, I only cook about twice a week... After all, sometimes I have to take Student Council work back with me, and when I'm busy, I simply don't have time to cook."

After Hashiba Hikaru took off the girl's apron, she hugged Horikita Suzune from behind.

"Hmm..."

The warm masculine scent instantly enveloped Horikita Suzune's mind. She actually enjoyed physical contact with Hashiba Hikaru, but because she didn't have much experience in this area, the girl didn't quite know how to take the initiative.

"Don't you like it Suzune?"

Hashiba Hikaru embraced her slender waist, her voice gentle.

"No, I... I really like it."

Feeling the boy's warm embrace, Horikita Suzune placed her small hand on Hashiba Hikaru's large hand, "I've said it before, now that we're lovers, Hikaru can do whatever he wants to me, it's your right."

"How thoughtful of you, Suzune. You look so cute like this."

Hashiba Hikaru didn't do anything too outrageous, after all, she still had to eat later.

He simply held her delicate body gently. Horikita Suzune was about the same height as Kushida Kikyo, and her head could rest on the boy's chest. Hashiba Hikaru could see her rosy cheeks.

"Just liking it is enough."

Horikita Suzune felt sweet inside when her lover praised her.

After embracing for a while, the two sat down to eat dinner together. To be considerate of her partner, Hashiba Hikaru took the initiative to do all the dishes after finishing her meal.

After finishing all these tasks, Hashiba Hikaru talked to the girl about what had happened in the Student Council recently.

"Has Hikaru already begun preparing to impeach Nagumo?"

Because she was truly involved in this matter, Horikita Suzune was well aware of Hashiba Hikaru's true thoughts.

"Yes, but I think the best approach in this situation is to prepare for contingencies. Miyabi Nagumo's attempts to win her over and bribe her haven't yielded much success yet, so there's no need to rush."

Hashiba Hikaru took a sip of water, leaned back on the sofa, and gazed at the pretty face of the black-haired girl.

"A backup plan?"

"Yes, Miyabi Nagumo has always been someone who refuses to be second to anyone, so I want to give him the opportunity to take the initiative."

Hashiba Hikaru recalled the previous voting meeting, "Only when he hopefully proposes impeachment, only to be outmaneuvered in the end, can this guy be truly dealt a blow."

"These decisions are up to you. If you need anything from me, feel free to contact me anytime."

After so much experience in the Student Council, Horikita Suzune has made great progress in her abilities.

"No rush. Aside from this matter, I think Suzune should focus on something else right now."

"What's up?"

"Of course it's about earning Private Points! Don't you want to get promoted to Class A?"

Hashiba Hikaru's tone was very serious, "When I first proposed this plan, I told Suzune that it's actually very difficult for students in Class D to advance to the next class. Rather than being dragged down by others, it's better to switch classes sooner."

"Yes, I understand what you mean, but Private Points aren't easy to accumulate. I only earned a little bit from the last Forest Joint Training Exam."

Despite her group of girls achieving first place in the Forest Joint Training Exam, Horikita Suzune didn't gain many Private Points. The focus of the exam results was on the increase in Class Evaluation Points, which would only be reflected in the Private Points distributed by the school next month.

"Yes, we still need to keep working on this aspect."

Hashiba Hikaru thought for a moment. A third of the three years had already passed. The class Private Points accumulated by Class A of the First Year were now in the hands of Ichinose Honami. There were more than 40 million points, enough to buy two promotion spots.

The boy himself has a lot of Private Points. In addition to the points he accumulated in the previous two semesters, he also obtained a large sum from Miyabi Nagumo, which is currently close to 20 million. As a student in a lower-ranked class, it is quite difficult for Horikita Suzune to accumulate Private Points.

"It seems we still need to come up with a suitable solution."

Hashiba Hikaru stroked her chin, intending to think of a solution for the girl.

"There's no need to rush this for now..."

Horikita Suzune gazed at the boy who was lost in thought because of her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"Oh, why?"

"My brother already told me last time that he acknowledges my growth."

Horikita Suzune stared into Hashiba Hikaru's eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Really? What exactly did Horikita-senpai say?"

Hashiba Hikaru couldn't help but feel curious. During the Forest Training Camp, he remembered what Horikita Manabu had said to him, "Please take good care of Suzune."
