Chapter 23 A girl's blush is more beautiful than anything else

"Just kidding, I'll sleep on the sofa, you can sleep on the bed."

Seeing Sonoko Suzuki's conflicted expression, Toru Hanyu took the initiative to make the choice for her.

"But the sofa looks a bit small. You're too tall to sleep on it. Why don't you sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the sofa?" Sonoko Suzuki shook her head and replied.

Although she is a young lady from a wealthy family, she doesn't necessarily have to sleep in a bed.

After all, Yuzuru Hanyu had done her a great favor today.

Whether it was making her look good in front of her classmates, pretending to be her boyfriend to help her, shining at karaoke, or demonstrating brilliant deduction at a crime scene, this boy repeatedly surprised and moved her. If she had to rate this date, she would definitely give Yuzuru a perfect score!

Under these circumstances, she really felt bad about letting Yuzuru sleep on that completely ill-fitting sofa.

"Letting a beautiful woman sleep on the sofa isn't my style... I'll put the sofas together. Two sofas put together will be just enough, and there's also an air-conditioning blanket in the bedside table." Yuzuru thought for a moment and then looked at another sofa next to him.

"But it's still very small..."

Sonoko Suzuki glanced down at the sofa, which was only one meter long and half a meter wide, and immediately retorted.

"It's alright, I can keep my legs tucked in." Yuzuru Tetsu didn't seem to mind too much.

"It's so uncomfortable to sleep like that~ If I sleep curled up all night, my legs will hurt the next day." Sonoko Suzuki insisted on her opinion.

"So what should we do? I'm not planning on letting you sleep on the sofa anyway."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Yuzuru was somewhat at a loss.

"Then... let's sleep in the bed together..." Sonoko Suzuki thought and thought, but realized that no matter what she said, she would be stuck in a vicious cycle.

She didn't want Yuzuru to sleep on the sofa, and Yuzuru didn't want her to sleep on the sofa either.

"Huh? Are you sure?" Yuzuru asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes! I'm sure." Sonoko Suzuki nodded emphatically, then held up one finger and added, "But you'd better behave tonight~"

Upon hearing this, Yuzuru recalled a dating video he had once seen.

"When you girls say no, it means you want it. Does telling me to be honest mean I shouldn't be honest?"

Yuzuru leaned back on the sofa and began to speak.

"What kind of videos do you watch? Won't the kind you're talking about go to jail?" Sonoko Suzuki understood his words, her face flushed with embarrassment, but her tone was very firm: "Anyway, I said no, and that's final. If I tell you to behave, then I really mean you shouldn't do anything reckless."

"Okay." Yuzuru nodded and stopped teasing her.

"It's getting late, do you want to take a shower first?" Sonoko Suzuki asked.

"No, I didn't bring any change of clothes." Yuzuru shook his head.

"Actually, there are yukatas." Sonoko Suzuki said, pointing to the yukatas hanging outside the bathroom.

"No need, you go ahead and wash." Yuzuru Toru is a bit of a germaphobe and doesn't like wearing his outer clothes.

"Okay." Sonoko Suzuki didn't insist. She rummaged through her backpack and took out a clean white T-shirt, placing it on the shelf by the bathroom door.

"By the way, I might get up a little earlier tomorrow," Yuzuru said after thinking for a moment.

"Hmm? Why do we have to get up early?"

"I need to go home and change. I can't go to school in this outfit," Yuzuru explained, tugging at his brown jacket.

He has always been a model student at school, and if someone sees him wearing clothes like this to school, he might be called to the office by his homeroom teacher for questioning, which could potentially affect his admission to Tokyo University.

"That seems to be true..."

Sonoko Suzuki thought about it and agreed that it made sense, but she wasn't worried about not being able to get into the school.

"I'm going to take a shower now~ Don't peek~ By the way, I wasn't being sarcastic~"

Sonoko Suzuki got up, took a few steps forward, then turned back and gave him a word of advice.

"Then I'll go for a walk in the corridor."

Upon hearing this, Yuzuru stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and prepared to walk towards the entrance.

"What are you doing in the hallway?" Sonoko Suzuki asked, puzzled as she watched him get up.

"Seeing such a beautiful girl like you taking a shower through a frosted glass, I can't resist~" Yuzuru said earnestly, looking at Sonoko Suzuki's fair and slightly flushed face.

Before he could take two steps, the hem of his clothes was gently tugged at.

Turning around, he saw Sonoko Suzuki with her head down, tugging at his sleeve, and saying softly, "You...you can stay in the room, you don't need to go out~"

"Aren't you afraid I'll peek?"

Yuzuru looked at her lowered head and continued to tease her.

"Don't be afraid!"

Seeing his mischievous smile, Sonoko Suzuki stomped her foot, gave a soft snort, and ran past him toward the bathroom.

In the instant they brushed past each other, Toru Hanyu caught a glimpse of her profile, a blush spreading across her face.

That fleeting glimpse of his profile left Yuzuru stunned.

Suddenly, a famous quote he had once seen flashed through his mind.

A young girl's blush is more beautiful than anything else.

However, Toru Hanyu had no idea what Sonoko Suzuki was thinking at that moment, nor did he know how much favor he received from Sonoko Suzuki.

But one thing is certain: the meaning conveyed by this reaction is certainly enough to make people think all sorts of things.

……

After a while, the sound of running water coming from the bathroom brought Yuzuru back to his senses.

Putting aside his distractions, he returned to the sofa, closed his eyes, and began to think.

When did this date begin?

It started when Sonoko Suzuki first sent him a text message using her ex-girlfriend's Line account.

It all started when my girlfriend, whom I'd been dating for a month and talked to so many times every night, dumped me unilaterally.

It's impossible to say that you wouldn't mind being dumped at all.

But now he finds that he doesn't really care that much.

After all, Ishihara Nami, her ex, didn't do anything wrong.

Rather, this relationship was a mistake from the very beginning.

He was merely being kept like a fish by that school beauty from Jianggutian.

Thinking of this, Yuzuru shook his head and summoned the system shop that would be unlocked after completing the mission in his mind.

[System Shop]

[Focus Points: 7841 (Note: The higher the focus point, the greater its weight in the series)]

[Purchaseable items: (Basic Skill Points x1), (Attribute Points x1). The initial price is 5000 points; the discount expires after purchase.]

The system allows you to buy two items, but in reality, Yuzuru Tetsu can only buy one thing.

He had already obtained the basic skill points after completing the mission of dating Sonoko Suzuki, but he did not have any attribute points.

Clicking on the description of [Attribute Points], Yuzuru discovered that the function of attribute points is to add points to one's own five-dimensional chart.

That is, intelligence, charm, physical strength, power, and luck.

Ultimately, you can only add points to two things: stamina and strength; the other three attributes cannot be increased.

Moreover, the system does not allow him to see his five-dimensional data directly, but Yuzuru made a rough estimate.

If the maximum score is 10 and the average person's score is 5, then your five dimensions are: Intelligence: 7, Charm: 8+, Physical Strength: 6, Power: 6, Luck: Unknown.
