I will swear to protect the beauty with my life

Yuta and Rikka, who had left, had already boarded the train and were on their way home.

The train was unexpectedly quiet on Christmas Day... Maybe it's because the current couples are busy dating, while those who are single are staying at home.

Rikka leaned on Yuta's shoulder with her eyes closed, looking like she was sleeping soundly, but in fact, her heart was already pounding with fear.

No~~ Still no~~ I can’t find an opportunity or anything like that~~

It’s easier to just pretend to be asleep.

Yuta tilted his head and looked at the scenery slowly receding outside the window, then opened his phone to check the time.

It's not too late yet.

Glancing at Rikka who was leaning against him and pretending to sleep, Yuta decided to give her a surprise.

"Hey, Rikka."

Rika was just quietly raising her eyes to glance at Yuta, but was suddenly stopped by Yuta. She thought she was exposed, and hurriedly closed her eyes again and pretended to be asleep.

But when she opened her eyes again soon after, she saw Yuta looking at her with a smile on his face.

I can't get away with it anymore.

The two looked at each other, and there was a look of doting in Yuta's eyes. In the face of Rikka's somewhat embarrassed look, he took out two bills from his pocket and placed them in front of Rikka.

It really is the ticket to a luxury yacht cruise at Christmas.

Yongtai still accepted Fang Wuwei's ticket, but he didn't plan to take it for free... After all, it was very expensive. He planned to return the ticket money to Fang Wuwei after the New Year's money came.

There was no way. When he went to buy the tickets himself, they had already been sold out. It was indeed as he said, they were in great demand.

But the most important thing at this moment is Rikka, he wants to spend a perfect Christmas with Rikka.

“Christmas is coming and I bought this.”

Rikka recognized what this thing was...don't forget that she also bought the Christmas special issue. She had her eyes on that yacht for a long time, but she had no money to buy a ticket and was too embarrassed to ask her mother for it. She thought it would be a pity, but unexpectedly, Yuta gave her a big surprise.

"Do you want to go? If you don't feel comfortable, forget it."

"Ok!"

Rikka's face was filled with emotion and excitement.

"Then you have to get off early, from this stop..."

................................................

The luxury yacht at Christmas was fully worthy of the word "luxury". Although it was just on the river they had always passed by, it was brightly lit. There were five floors on the boat, which were hung with bright yellow lights, making it look very romantic.

Most of the tourists inside are adults. The five-story ship has everything, including restaurants, entertainment rooms, social halls, and even dance halls. It is extremely luxurious at first glance.

Kids like Yuta and Rika just came here to broaden their horizons and have a perfect date.

The inner courtyard of the ship's building naturally could not satisfy Rika, so she and Yuta came to the platform on the top floor near the bow and looked at the stars in the sky. Rika was extremely excited and had a constant smile on her face.

Yuta followed behind, agreeing lovingly to every word that Rikka said. He was not very interested in this yacht. To be honest, he felt that it was not as shocking as Fang Wuwei's car... But, Rikka's happiness was the best thing for him.

Not far from them, Nibutani and others also boarded the boat. Except Fang Wuwei, everyone else was there, watching Yuta and Rika being together not far away.

Although the tickets for the yacht tonight have been sold out, they can still board and receive VIP treatment. The reason is simple: the name of the ship is Tu Shou.

This seemed unrealistic to Isshiki Makoto and Nibutani, but considering how wealthy this man's family was, they had no choice but to accept it.

Looking at the two people cuddling together not far away, Isshiki Makoto felt sad, Nibutani felt relieved, Fennel-senpai blessed him with a smile, Touma was so angry that his teeth itched... And Ikeuchi Maki was full of excitement, not for Yuta and Rikka, she just saw her master and another girl on the other side of the boat...

The soul of Bagua was burning, but she didn't dare to go, for fear of being beaten. She could only patiently follow Danshenggu and the others. Anyway, the master would come over in the end.

Yuta and Rika leaned on the railing, looking at the lights on the shore in the distance and the beautiful water below illuminated by the lights on the boat. The atmosphere was a little subtle.

Young couples are like this, especially those who want to take their relationship to the next level.

"Rikka..."

"Ok?"

"I have thought carefully about what happened between us."

Hearing Yuta's somewhat embarrassed voice, Rikka suddenly remembered that today was Christmas... a very important holiday between lovers. Her face turned slightly red, and she immediately came out of her middle school state, not looking at Yuta with a blushing face.

Yuta didn't dare to look at Rikka. He stared at the water surface underground and talked to himself. He knew Rikka could hear him.

“How should I put it…even though I still don’t understand it so clearly in the end, I think we don’t have to force ourselves too much.

Whether it's Chuunibyou or... that thing between us, I think we should just let it go."

This is Yuta's view on love. He believes that love is not about being successful quickly, but about the depth of feelings. Being together naturally, if two people love each other, they will naturally move towards the end step by step. There is no need to rush.

Perhaps this is why the two of them are making such slow progress, but this concept is perfect for the shy Rikka.

Yuta has always been this kind of person, gentle and kind.

He raised his head and glanced at Yuta, who happened to turn his head back as well, and the two of them looked at each other, seeing the deep love in each other's eyes.

A smile finally appeared on Rikka's face.

Following the sound of a ship's horn, the two felt a little shy.

"It's... too cold outside. Let's go back first."

"......Um......"

Although he said that, Yuta's hand was not very honest and he touched Rika's hanging hand.

Rikka also felt it. Although Yuta said so, he still hoped to go further with her. Nibutani and Higashikata also said that Yuta was a wooden man and should take the initiative...

That being the case!

Rika blushed, and boldly took his hand and put her whole hand into Yuta's big hand. She slipped her fingers through his fingers and held it tightly, unwilling to separate.

They interlocked their fingers, which was the boldest thing Rikka had ever done.

Yuta was shocked. According to Rikka's personality, she would probably just hold his little finger. But he didn't expect Rikka to be so bold today. When he turned around, he saw Rikka with a red head, looking down at her feet.

The soft, small hand in the palm of his hand was a little wet and cold, and kept moving, as if trying to get out of his hand.

Yuta understood that Rikka was very nervous, so he would not fall behind, so he clenched his fingers back, clasped Rikka's hand tightly, and protected it firmly.

Feeling the warmth wrapped around her little hand, Rikka raised her head, and the two blushing people looked at each other and smiled at each other.

That's progress, isn't it? Let's take it one step at a time.
