The Gemini Princess wants me to confess my feelings!

The next day, Kirihara Akira returned to her normal school life.

Although it's called academic life, his high school career is actually nearing its end. There's basically nothing left to learn, and it's time to seize the last moments and celebrate his youth.

The coursework he could learn at school was basically no challenge for him. If he wanted to go to a higher education, his score on the national standardized written test would be enough to get him into a decent school. But if he wanted to go further and attend a prestigious or elite private school, he would have to face the school's internal exams, which he couldn't learn at school.

The lady has already made arrangements for her two children; they will be attending prestigious universities, renowned schools in Asia.

I thought the lady would ignore me, but it seems she has the same request for Kirihara Akira.

Going on to higher education and enjoying university life seems like a good option.

"Where are you going after you graduate from high school?" Kirihara Akira asked.

Li Changqing, standing next to him, rolled his eyes: "Of course it's to go to higher education. Otherwise, why would I bother to travel all the way across the ocean to study in the Japanese territory?"

"Where to?" Kirihara Akira asked.

Li Changqing didn't answer, but instead said mysteriously, "Do you know that someone saw Sen Qingye's college application form? It says she wants to go to university, and she even wrote down the name of the school. Do you know which one it is?"

Without hesitation, Kirihara Akira replied, "XX University?"

Li Changqing was taken aback for a moment, then said, "How did you know? You shouldn't know much about this kind of gossip."

"Just a guess. Nobles, you know, they only choose a few schools," Kirihara Akira said with a smile, trying to brush it off. "You want to go to XX University? That's no easy feat."

Li Changqing chuckled: "Wouldn't it be wonderful to attend the same university as the second young lady of the Sen family?"

"Don't you have a girlfriend?" Kirihara Akira retorted.

"It's over," Li Changqing said casually.

"Awesome," Kirihara Akira said.

"Just kidding, I have no intention of pursuing the Second Miss. She's an unattainable swan." Li Changqing shrugged and said, "Besides, there have been rumors lately that you want to pursue her. Speaking of which, you're the bolder one... You must have received quite a few cold shoulders."

Kirihara Akira thought for a moment and said, "It's true, she even had people beat me up."

"Then you're really awesome, you have perseverance." Li Changqing complained, "She may be pretty, but she's a total tigress."

"She's a rich woman," Kirihara Akira said.

"Her sister is the same, and she's gentle too," Li Changqing said.

"You think someone who's aloof and unattainable is easier to approach than her?" Kirihara Akatsuki rolled her eyes and said, "Besides, the Second Miss is actually quite cute."

"Heh heh." Li Changqing chuckled sarcastically, "Damn it, these two toads are seriously picking each other."

Kirihara Akatsuki also looked up and laughed.

"By the way, you said someone wanted to come sing today. Who is it? Have I seen them before? I haven't seen them anywhere." Li Changqing asked.

"She should be here soon," Kirihara Akira said.

"Oh, it's a girl. Isn't she pretty? Cute?"

Kirihara Akira honestly replied, "TO level."

Li Changqing's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's great! She's probably not your girlfriend, right?"

"no."

"That's good, then I'll have to... oh?"

A black car drove up and stopped in front of the two, interrupting Li Changqing's ramblings. A young girl got out of the car, and when Li Changqing saw her face, he opened his mouth wide and looked a little dazed.

"Mori... Kiyoha-kun?" Li Changqing said blankly.

"You're here," Kirihara Akira greeted.

Li Changqing then belatedly realized what was happening and turned to look at Wuyuan Xiao: "The friend you mentioned, could it be...?"

"If she considers me her friend." Kirihara Akira shrugged.

"Did you call me here specifically just to spout this nonsense?" Mori Kiyoha said coldly, looking down at him.

Kirihara Akira smiled and stood up from her chair, saying, "It's a pleasure to have you here."

Li Changqing stammered, "You, what is your relationship?"

"I have nothing to do with him." Mori Kiyoha rolled her eyes.

Today she was wearing the new clothes she wore to the tea party that day. She seemed to like this outfit very much. Her deliberately messy ponytail bounced as she walked to Kirihara Akira's side in her white sneakers.

What does "it has nothing to do with us" mean? Li Changqing was a little confused for a moment, then looked at Wuyuan Xiao with a very hostile gaze.

Could this kid have really managed to snag a swan without a word?

Traitor! What happened to the toad brothers we were supposed to be?!

He forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to be so interested in occasions like this."

Mori Kiyoha countered, "What occasion are you going to next?"

"Lian...uh, karaoke," Li Changqing said. "I thought you hated noisy places like this."

"I do hate it," Mori Kiyoha said calmly.

"Huh?" Li Changqing was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Then why did you come?"

"..." Mori Kiyoha raised her head and said, "It's just a whim, I'm happy to."

Li Changqing looked at Wuyuan Xiao, then at Sen Qingye, as if he understood something.

He said to Kirihara Akira, "Asking you to do this seems a bit tactless of me."

Kirihara Akatsuki tilted her head, somewhat bewildered: "What do you mean, 'inconsiderate'?"

"..." Li Changqing was speechless.

......

......

In fact, Kirihara Akira was also quite helpless. He had only taught the girl some close combat techniques yesterday. After the training, Mori Kiyoha asked him where he was going next, and he truthfully told her about Li Changqing's invitation.

Then, he just wanted to tease the girl and see her seemingly impatient but actually very interesting and cute reaction, so he asked her if she wanted to come along.

His mischievousness earned him a serious reply from Mori Kiyoha: "Me too."

In the karaoke room, Kirihara Akira and Mori Kiyoha sat close together, so that they could hear each other's voices clearly amidst the noisy singing.

Kirihara Akira said, "If your mother knew that I brought you to a matchmaking event, she would probably skin me alive."

"Are you still afraid of her?" Mori Kiyoha teased.

"You still need to be treated with the respect you deserve, and I'm not even sure if you really want to come to a place like this."

Mori Kiyoha snorted coldly and said, "Am I in the way of you finding women?"

Upon hearing this slightly sarcastic remark, Kirihara Akira couldn't quite grasp Mori Kiyoha's meaning.

Kirihara Akira could only crack a joke, laughing and saying, "How could that be? Look at them, they don't even glance at me."

"That's because I'm here."

"Of course, you're so beautiful."

"Smooth-talking," Mori Kiyoha snapped. "You've fooled plenty of women, haven't you?"

Kirihara Akira shook his head and said, "To be honest, I have never dated any woman in my life."

He wasn't exactly lying, since he emphasized "this lifetime."

"That's a lie."

"Really," Kirihara Akira said, "I've never even held a girl's hand, which is quite pathetic."

Mori Kiyoha didn't say anything, but just turned her head to look at Kirihara Akira. After a while, she suddenly raised her hand and, like a proud empress, handed it to Kirihara Akira.
