On Sunday afternoon, the sun filtered through the light clouds, coating the campus buildings with a lazy golden edge.
"Tick-tick-tick-tock..."
A brisk ringtone rang in the quiet dormitory of Kitagawa Kai, breaking the afternoon tranquility.
"Hello?"
A clear, sweet, and energetic female voice came from the receiver.
"Kitagawa-kun~Good afternoon, it's me Kikyo~I'm not taking a nap, right?"
"No." Kitagawa Kai's voice was calm, and there was no trace of being disturbed by the ringtone. "It turns out that it's already the time agreed with Kikyo."
"Yes, it's tea time!"
Kushida Kikyo's tone of voice rose, showing a bit of lively excitement.
"The afternoon on the weekend is the best time for a date, it's leisurely and romantic~"
"So, my boyfriend is going to have to catch up on romance today."
"Kitagawa-kun It would be great if you have this awareness!"
She chuckled, and the laughter came through the receiver, clear and sweet.
"So, let's make an appointment at Palette Cafe, half an hour later, okay? I checked, and their weekend limited desserts and special drinks are highly rated."
"Okay."
"Okay~ It's settled then!"
"Well, see you later."
"Du--"
The phone hangs up.
Kitagawa Kai tidied up briefly, put on some casual and decent clothes, and walked out of the dormitory.
The campus is livelier on Sunday afternoon than in the early morning, with students strolling in twos and threes.
When he arrived at Palette Cafe, the passenger flow had not yet reached its peak, soothing light music was flowing in the room, and the aroma of coffee beans was permeating the room.
"Welcome, classmate?"
"You two," Kitagawa Kai glanced across the relatively open booth area, "Please give me a quieter place."
"Okay, please follow me." The waiter led him to the more secluded 808.
After about a few minutes, the light at the entrance of Private Room was slightly blocked by a light figure.
Kitagawa Kai raised his head and looked towards the door.
Kushida Kikyo stood there with a signature sweet smile on his face, his eyebrows were curved, and his blond hair had playful slight curls at the end.
She was not wearing a school uniform today. She wore a slim-fitting aqua blue vest that perfectly outlined the curves of her upper body, and a short milky white cardigan on top.
The white pleated skirt on her lower body swayed gently with her steps. Under the skirt, a pair of knee-high white stockings wrapped her slender straight calves.
"Sorry, have you waited for a long time, Kitagawa-kun?"
Kushida Kikyo's voice was lighter than usual, and her cardigan was unbuttoned. As she leaned forward to say hello, her slender waist and undulating curves were vaguely revealed.
"No, I just arrived." Kitagawa Kai's eyes stayed on her striking sincerity for a while, "This outfit suits you very well today."
"Really?" Kushida Kikyo smiled deeper, and the light in his purple eyes turned slightly.
"This is specially chosen for Kitagawa-kun. It is a special edition that can only be viewed by boyfriends."
Kushida Kikyo naturally walked to the seat opposite Kitagawa Kai, which was the safest seat for social distance.
However, as soon as she took half a step, Kitagawa Kai stood up calmly.
Pulling out the chair next to him, he did so slowly and without any suddenness, as if it was just the most natural reaction of a gentleman.
Do you have to be so careful even about the dining seats?
Really convinced.
"Thank you Kitagawa-kun~ You are so considerate."
Kushida Kikyo's voice was sweet and soft, with the joy of being cared for, and she sat down very naturally very close to him.
After sitting down, she naturally moved the chair a millimeter closer to him.
"Kikyo, what do you want to eat or drink?"
"Hmm~ Let me take a look, this looks very good."
Kushida quickly chose afternoon tea for two people.
Kitagawa Kai's eyes fell on her still smiling face, and he suddenly said, "Kikyo, I remember that you have always been very popular, and you should have a lot of invitations on weekends."
"They, I told them, they have very important personal matters today. The date with Kitagawa-kun has the highest priority~"
"That's right. It seems like my temporary boyfriend is getting pretty good treatment."
Kitagawa Kai said with emotion:
"Hey, it would be great if Kikyo-chan were really my girlfriend."
The moment the words fell--
Kushida Kikyo's face didn't change at all. He even blinked and his cheeks turned into a very natural light blush.
However, in my heart, a completely different voice sneered without any warmth.
Huh?
This guy seems to have a better brain than the idiots in the class, but he just wants to slap his nose on his face?
But her eyes couldn't help but stare at his profile, the tall nose bridge, the clear jawline, and the always calm eyes...
This face is indeed impeccable, and this elusive feeling... seems not to be completely impossible...
No!
What are you thinking, Kushida Kikyo, your goal is to become a popular king, how can you have a publicly recognized boyfriend, do you have to take risks just for a momentary flutter?
"Kitagawa-kun It's so cunning to suddenly say something like this. This is during a date... it's illegal to say something like this."

Kitagawa Kai looked as usual, looking at the shy appearance of the girl in front of him, but his heart moved slightly.
Affection Level has gone up?
Only good modeling is really good.
Putting aside her true character, at least at this moment, Kushida Kikyo is indeed a girlfriend who can provide the ultimate emotional value.
What's more, her appearance and figure are indeed undisputedly outstanding.
Kitagawa Kai Watching her lower her head, pretending to concentrate on dealing with the soufflé, with the crimson profile on the tip of her ears that never faded, she quietly corrected herself in her heart.
Maybe it would be great not to give it up.
Walking out of Palette, the streets were packed with people, and the hustle and bustle of the weekend reached its peak.
The two of them chose a remote path tacitly.
"Let's go this way, it seems closer." Kitagawa Kai glanced at a side road.
"Okay, it's much quieter over there." Kushida's smile was still perfect under the beautiful Japan. She stretched out her hand very naturally and took Kitagawa Kai's arm affectionately.
From a distance, the two occasionally looked close to each other and whispered, just like a real couple.
The journey after that turned into a silent arm-holding game.
With his extraordinary keen intuition, Kitagawa Kai can always remind Kikyo before others notice and let go without leaving any trace.
In the corner where no one cares, the arms are wrapped around each other again.
After all, both of them have reasons why they cannot be seen being intimate at this moment by acquaintances.
This common taboo made Kushida Kikyo feel a strange kind of excitement, and Kitagawa Kai could also feel the warmth and moisture on her hands.
"Here we are, Kitagawa-kun."
Kushida's voice was brisk and his eyes swept across the entrance of the theater.
"Well, I booked a private room. It's too noisy here."
"Kitagawa-kun, you are so thoughtful."
Movie begins, it is a love movie with a good reputation (bad reputation), it tells the story of loss and reunion, with beautiful pictures and moving music.
At first, the two of them were still sitting at a distance, and Kushida would occasionally make one or two comments in a low voice.
As the plot progressed, Kitagawa Kai suddenly felt his shoulders sink.
Kushida didn't know when she leaned slightly toward him. Her eyes were still staring at the screen, but there were a few tears scattered on her face.
Kitagawa Kai naturally and gently put his arms around her slender waist.
"Kitagawa-kun, you are so bad~"
