After sorting out today's business data, Horikita Suzune thought about the message reply just now. Hashima Hikaru will return to school with Ichinose Honami today.

It has been seven days since they last saw each other, and the black-haired girl has complicated emotions in her heart. After confirming her feelings, she sometimes doesn't dare to be alone with the other person because her heartbeat will become particularly fast at that time.

If you come back today... do you want to meet me?

This was the question that Horikita Suzune had been struggling with for a long time. She stroked the black pen on the table. This was a Christmas gift that Hashima Hikaru gave to the girl. After all, she had to be judicious in choosing the right gift, and it was not appropriate to give her something more intimate at the moment.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after about half an hour, Horikita Suzune seemed to have made up her mind. She took a deep breath, took out her mobile phone and clicked on the chat interface with the boy.

"..."

After thinking for a long time, the girl typed slowly.

Horikita Suzune: Hashima-san, are you back?

After this message was sent, the reply arrived in about three seconds.

Hikaru Hashima: I'm currently going through the formalities at the gate and will be at the dormitory in about thirty minutes.

After seeing the other party's reply, Horikita Suzune's eyes lit up with anticipation. She felt her heartbeat quicken uncontrollably and her face felt a little hot.

Horikita Suzune: Then... do you want to have dinner together?

On the other end of the message, Hikaru Hashima looked at his girlfriend who was talking to Ando Sayo on the phone, and knew that she was going to have a girls' gathering with a small group again today.

"Hikaru, I'm going to have a girls' party with Ando and the others today, so I won't be staying over at your place."

Ichinose Honami had a smile on her face. She hadn't seen her good friends for seven days and she missed them a lot.

"Uh-huh."

"Don't be too lonely when I'm not around~"

The girl smiled as she carried her suitcase and prepared to go to Sayo Ando's dormitory.

"I know."

Hikaru Hashima typed a few words on his phone and put it in his pocket.

Hashima Hikaru: Yes.

Horikita Suzune: I'll wait for you at the old place.

451

Chapter 451: Horikita Suzune wants to become a student council officer.

The so-called old place is actually a restaurant with less traffic. Horikita Suzune likes a certain dish on the menu, so she comes here more often. After Hashima Hikaru knows this, he often comes here to eat with the girl.

After receiving the boy's reply, Horikita Suzune quickly packed up the things on the table. She planned to return to the dormitory to tidy herself up so that she could meet him in a more perfect state.

After Ichinose Honami went to attend the girls' meeting, Hashima Hikaru returned to the dormitory, took a shower, and changed into new clothes.

The upper body is a black and red winter jacket. The whole body is black, but there are red embellishments on the wrists and chest. The lower body is a pair of gray rolled-up pants, which looks fashionable and youthful.

"But this guy really likes this restaurant. I wonder if they've updated their winter menu."

After standing in front of the mirror and adjusting his outfit, Hikaru Hashima touched his hair which had grown quite a bit longer, wondering when he could find time to get a haircut.

After leaving the dormitory, Hikaru Hashima's phone was flooded with text messages, because most of the people who knew him knew that today was the boy's homecoming day, and there were many greetings and invitations.

There is still a week left in the winter vacation, and the boy decided to take it slow. Anyway, he has done most of the things he wanted to do. In addition to preparing for the third semester, it would be nice to enjoy the vacation in the remaining time.

Arriving at the agreed location, Mitsuru Hashima immediately saw the black-haired girl who had arrived earlier. She was sitting at a table against the wall. Her pretty face seemed a little tense, as if she was facing some difficult decision.

"Good evening, Horikita-san~"

Hashima Hikaru walked over to the girl's opposite side quite naturally and sat down. After hearing the noise, Horikita Suzune immediately raised her head and looked straight at someone she hadn't seen for a long time.

"...Um, Hashima-san, long time no see."

"It's not that long, just seven days. How have you been, Horikita-san?"

Hikaru Hashima narrowed his eyes and reached out to pour himself a glass of water.

"It's okay, just a normal holiday."

Horikita Suzune nodded slightly, her gaze moving across Hashima Hikaru's face. After not seeing him for seven days, the other person's face still had the familiar air of confidence that the girl was familiar with.

"Really? I feel like with Horikita-san's personality, following the rules might be your preferred style."

Hashima Hikaru glanced at the menu held in the other person's hand and asked, "Have you ordered anything, Horikita-san?"

"No, Hashima-san can order first."

The black-haired girl took the initiative to hand the menu to the other party and said slowly, "It's good to follow the routine, but even if there are various unexpected deviations, I will overcome them and get used to them."

"OK."

Hashima Hikaru didn't comment on her statement. He picked two dishes at random and handed the menu back. "I've already ordered your favorites for Horikita-san. One more dish should be enough."

Horikita Suzune had no objection to this. She chose a hot soup from the menu and handed it to the waiter next to her.

After the other party left with the menu, Hashima Hikaru's gaze fell on the girl opposite him. He was a little surprised to find that Horikita Suzune was wearing light makeup today.

The girl's already beautiful eyebrows and eyes looked even more delicate with the makeup, and her little face, which had always maintained an indifferent attitude, seemed to soften a lot. Although she didn't smile, the boy could feel that her aura was very gentle at the moment.

Horikita Suzune also did not wear casual clothes today. Instead, she changed into a beige turtleneck windbreaker with a thin cyan sweater lining, which outlined her considerable figure and showed a bit of the charm of a mature woman.

"Before the food is served, let's talk about more important things."

After withdrawing his admiring gaze from the other person, Hashima Hikaru took the initiative to change the topic, "Have you gained anything from your work in the student council recently, Horikita-san?"

“I have made some progress, but it is still far from satisfying to me.”

Horikita Suzune folded her hands on the table and answered slowly.

"Don't be too anxious. Everything takes time. As long as there are gains, it's great. Horikita-san, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

A smile appeared on Hashima Hikaru's lips. Although Horikita Suzune was a girl who liked to dwell on trivial matters, her ability to get things done could not be said to be weak. It was just that she had too little experience, so she seemed relatively inefficient.

"Compared to this..."

Horikita Suzune seemed to have remembered something, staring at Hashima Hikaru's face and asked, "I heard that Kushida-san became an officer of the student council. Was this arranged by Hashima-san?"

"..."

Hashima Hikaru was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "This matter is related to my plan, so I will let Kushida-san join the ranks of student council cadres."

"How is the selection made?"

Horikita Suzune seemed to be very concerned about this matter. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she felt a little unhappy. "If it's a self-nomination, I think I am also qualified to participate in the election."

"It's not quite the same as a self-nomination... After all, the person that Nagumo nominated was Katsuragi-san."

Hashima Hikaru sensed the black-haired girl's emotions and immediately added, "If Horikita-san wants to become a student council officer, there will be opportunities in the future."

"Is it because of your personal relationship?"

Horikita Suzune asked the question again. She recalled the intimate scene of the two of them sticking to each other in front of her. It made her uncomfortable at that time, and now with this, the uncomfortable feeling doubled in the girl's heart.

"...What do you mean, Horikita-san?"

Hashima Hikaru raised an eyebrow.

"Kushida-san is your love..."

Horikita Suzune didn't finish the last word because she saw out of the corner of her eye that the person serving the food was approaching.

"Let's wait for the dishes to arrive."

Hashima Hikaru was very pleased with Horikita Suzune's attitude. At least she didn't say this word in front of other people. It would be indecent if it leaked out.

About two minutes later, the waiter in the restaurant placed all three dishes. After she left, Horikita Suzune looked at Hashima Hikaru's face again, as if she was going to discuss the previous topic again.

"Hey……"

After sighing in his heart, Mitsuru Hashima knew that the other party would not just let the matter go, so he took out his cell phone and sent a message to someone.

"Hashima-san, who are you texting?"

Horikita Suzune seemed to sense something and frowned even more tightly.

"Let her explain the reason to you herself. It will be clearer this way."

"……Yeah?"

Horikita Suzune picked up the water cup and took a sip, feeling very awkward.

Chapter 452: Kushida Kikyo: The condition is to become Hashima-san’s lover.

Because Hashima Hikaru sent a message, Horikita Suzune cooperated and did not mention what happened just now, but enjoyed the food silently.

"Is this dish really delicious? I see Horikita always orders it."

Hashima Hikaru picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, then looked at the black-haired girl who was chewing the food in small bites.

“Because I’m more used to this taste, I order it more often.”

Horikita Suzune nodded slightly. She glanced at the boy sitting opposite her, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She took the initiative to put a piece of food into Hashima Hikaru's bowl, "Hashima-san has never tried it before. Why don't you try it now?"

"It's truly an honor. If it's a dish I like, I won't share it with others easily."

Hashima Hikaru tasted the dish with a smile and found it tasted really good, and the flavor was relatively light, making it a very healthy flavor.

"How about it?"

Horikita Suzune's gaze was filled with anticipation.

"It's delicious. Horikita-san really has great taste."

Based on the principle of saying good things for free, Mitsuru Hashima gave a few compliments. Just when he was about to order more rice, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking into the restaurant.

"here."

He raised his hand to show Kushida Kikyo where he was.

After catching sight of the face that she hadn't seen for seven days and that had been haunting her dreams, Kushida Kikyo's face lit up with joy and she immediately quickened her pace and walked towards him.

"Hashima-san!"

Because they were outside, in order not to be exposed, Kushida Kikyo still called the other party's last name. She sat next to Hashima Hikaru without any hesitation.

"After seven days of not seeing you, it seems Kushida-san is still in high spirits."

Hashima Hikaru greeted with a smile.

"Humph, of course I'm in high spirits. You're accompanying Xiao Fanbo back to his hometown for the winter break. You must be very happy every day, right?"

Kushida Kikyo was in a very good mood. She rubbed the other person's shoulder, with an unconcealable smile on her lips.

"I guess so. I even went on a hot spring trip with Fanbo's family."

"what?!"

When she heard the words "hot spring trip", Kushida Kikyo's envy overflowed on the spot. She gritted her teeth in hatred, unwilling to imagine the scene of the other party taking a hot spring bath with Ichinose.

"Damn it, I want to go to the hot springs too!"

"There will be a chance next time."

"I do not care……"

Just as Kushida Kikyo raised her voice, Horikita Suzune, who had been sitting across from her and been left out for a while, feigned a cough and said, "Are you guys done catching up?"

"Ok?"

Although she had just seen Horikita Suzune sitting across from her, Kushida Kikyo deliberately ignored her. When she heard her talking, she immediately turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Because I was the one who invited Hashima-san to this dinner, Kushida-san was not among the invited guests in the first place."

Of course, Horikita Suzune couldn't have a good tone when facing Kushida Kikyo, and her expression was very cold.

"is it?"

Kushida Kikyo glanced at the bowl that Hashima Hikaru had just cleaned and immediately said, "Hashima-san has finished eating now. We will leave first and not disturb Horikita-san's meal."

"..."

Hikaru Hashima, who had not spoken until now, thought it was his turn to speak, otherwise the bickering between the two would probably not stop.

"Stop making trouble for now. I called you over here for something else."
