After deciding to give up, I became popular

“It's a misunderstanding, Senior Utaha. My management experience is only from the student council at school. Everything is taken care of by others. I just wanted to find some fun for you today.”

“Tch.”

Kasumigaoka sat opposite him, thinking with a slight resentment.

——————

“Then I'm going to take a shower?” Xia Chuanzou lightly released his hand that was pinching Kasumigaoka's calf. Her fair foot gently stepped on his back. “Go, go. All you think about all day is this stuff.”

“I haven't said anything yet.” Xia Chuanzou looked at her with a smile.

“You didn't think about it?”

“Didn't think about it.”

“Then don't touch me tonight.” Utaha snorted softly.

“I'm greedy, I'm cheap.” Xia Chuanzou admitted his mistake. Utaha just stared at him like that, and then suddenly smiled.

“Go quickly, you idiot.”

So Xia Chuanzou happily went to take a shower.

Nothing happened that day.

The next morning.

“Sleep a little longer.”

“Why do you always like to laze in bed when you sleep with me?” Utaha looked especially helpless at Xia Chuanzou, who was hugging her and burying his face in her chest.

“Because it's soft and fragrant.”

“...Have you no shame?” Two red blushes instantly appeared on Utaha's cheeks, but she still let him do as he pleased.

Because Xia Chuanzou sometimes showed a childlike side, although... he seemed very immature, but because it was him, it was, at times, inexplicably cute.

Was this her maternal glow?

“We'll get up by ten at the latest. We have class today.”

“Skip it then.”

“That won't do. I quite want to listen to that class. That professor is quite interesting,” Utaha replied softly.

“Okay, then we'll go listen together when the time comes.”

“Mm.”

Xia Chuanzou obediently closed his eyes.

They were already in their third year of university. Inadvertently, almost three years had passed. Kasumigaoka lowered her head, looking at his profile as he really closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

She originally thought that there might be arguments, anxiety, and sadness during these three years... but in reality, there was almost none of that.

Because although Xia Chuanzou didn't show anything on the surface, he really carefully took care of everyone's feelings, not letting anyone feel sad.

Love is something that sometimes isn't enough with just mutual liking and tolerance. It still needs to be carefully managed, and he has worked hard to do this.

And as time went on, her relationship with the other girls truly improved. After all, there was nothing inherently unlikeable about each other's personalities, it was just that they happened to fall in love with this greedy guy.

She and Eriri that girl would also bicker daily, but in reality, the relationship between the two was definitely about the same as that of real good besties.

That's how it should have been. But she opened her phone and saw a message from that little blonde, which only showed a few words—How many times did you do it last night? He was with me yesterday... 5 times喔! Hehe.”

So she couldn't help but open fire on her again, until she said that the other party couldn't help but call, she picked it up in a second and then hung up in a second after the other party said the first word.

But even so, she still felt unsatisfied, so she patted Xia Chuanzou's face and woke him up.

“Wake up, don't sleep anymore.”

“Huh? What's wrong again?”

Xia Chuanzou hadn't fallen asleep, and was still a little dazed, but found that Utaha had already leaned over.

“Don't sleep, get up quickly!”

“Huh? Didn't you say we'd go to class later? Are we getting up now?”

“I'm not going!” Utaha gritted her teeth. She even wanted to not get out of bed today and just rot in bed, waiting until it was her turn to send a message back to fiercely mock that little blonde.

She was really used to it! Her combat power was so weak, when did she dare to ride on her face and mock her? She really couldn't stand it!

“You get up quickly! Why isn't there any movement yet.”

“Let me put on some clothes first...”

“I'm not telling you to get up, I'm telling it to.”

“No...aren't you being too impatient? Doing this kind of thing should be done slowly...” Xia Chuanzou comforted, but Utaha was obviously impatient.

“I don't care, stand up quickly, if I'm not satisfied today, then don't even think about getting out of bed.”

“Uh...maybe you can try other ways first?” Xia Chuanzou blinked his eyes.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was silent for a long time: “...Okay.”

“Ah, are you really doing it?” Xia Chuanzou thought, but soon he had no time to speak, his lifeblood was pinched, and then his mood became even more subtle.

Now he really had no choice but to obey her.

I actually understood it.jpg

Extra, Christmas Gift (3K)

“Guess if I'll prepare a holiday gift for you?” Xia Chuanzou muttered softly on the side.

“Then guess if I'll prepare a gift for you?” Kasumigaoka lay on the bed, with a string of grapes placed in front of her chest, occasionally lowering her head to take a bite.

“I guess you will.” Xia Chuanzou nodded.

Several years had passed, and Xia Chuanzou actually couldn't quite remember which Christmas this was. In the past, he would always ignore this kind of day, and even think it was a conspiracy by businesses, a tax on intelligence or something, but after being in love, he suddenly understood that it was actually unrelated to intelligence or boredom, it was just because he wanted to find a reason to do something with someone close to him.

Sometimes life might really need some sense of ritual.

“Heh.” Kasumigaoka hummed softly, but the sweetness in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Xia Chuanzou was instead a little clueless.

He was still thinking about what kind of gift he should prepare for the girls tomorrow. After inheriting the family business, this kind of trouble suddenly came, because he really had money, so there were too many things he could buy, and for a while he didn't know what kind of gift to give.

The only thing he could be sure of was that no matter what he sent, they would like it very much, so he had to think of some strange things to prove that he wasn't perfunctorily going through the days, but if he had to think like this every year, his brain would break down.

So he planned to go out to play with a few people tomorrow, but he didn't know why, today Zhenxun and Eriri especially tacitly pushed Xia Chuanzou into Kasumigaoka's room. The key was that the angel was smiling very happily, but the little blonde had an expression as if she had lost something?

Xiao Hui's eyes seemed a little resentful, but she didn't fight or grab, just tied her apron and cooked her dinner.

After the four years of university ended, a few people moved in together. During these years in college, Xia Chuanzou experienced a lot of embarrassing things... actually, it wasn't really anything embarrassing, it was just pure, when he was a freshman, because he went everywhere to find everyone for dates, and didn't think about doing any cover-ups, so it was exposed, and after confirming that he had a close relationship with several girls, he was given the ultimate scumbag hat on his head.

But that wasn't just a scumbag, it was also considered a time management master.

However, this had no impact on their relationship, because those were things that had been decided as early as high school, and he had never thought about hiding it from anyone, and even answered their questions very frankly.

Although the rumors about him outside were not good, they were only limited to the emotional aspect, and there was no room for accusations in other places. Most girls were just eating melons and watching the excitement, and occasionally they would be curious about what kind of strange man he looked like and come to see him, and for boys... for what scumbag, as long as it wasn't malicious in nature, cheating money and sex and abandoning them, they were still a little envious.

And the fact that his relationship with several girls was well known also had some benefits - girls who weren't familiar with him but recognized his face successfully detoured when they saw him, and wouldn't come up to chat so leisurely as before and make his girls jealous.

Um...maybe this is, people should know themselves?

Then until after graduation from university, after leaving the ivory tower, it seemed that it was time to shoulder the burden of life, but Xia Chuanzou was idle at home for half a year, accomplishing nothing, and seemed to have gradually been raised into a waste.

There was no way, this was to blame Huiye, with Huiye, a workaholic, Xia Chuanzou just wanted to be a little motivated, but found that he didn't need to do anything, it seemed that there was completely no place that needed him to work hard, so... he gave up.

The only thing to think about every day was which girl he was going to accompany, how long he was going to accompany her, and what he would do together to make her happy.

Love shouldn't be so calculating, but his situation was special, and if he didn't do some thinking, he would always feel that he was favoring one over the other, even if they really didn't care about these things in their hearts, he himself would feel unbearable.

However, during these days, a few people went to many places, all led by Qianhua, after all, she liked to play and had experience, taking everyone to travel to various countries or domestically for a while, and also tried skiing, skydiving, and everything else they could think of, they basically played everything.

And today is December 24th, Christmas Eve, and originally they were thinking of making a super large floor and sleeping together, but they were pushed in by Zhenxun and the others, so Xia Chuanzou took the opportunity to climb onto Kasumigaoka's bed, but was kicked away by a delicate and cute foot.

“Climb.”

“Ah? What new posture is it?”

“It just means let you climb.”

“Then we'll sleep, can I hug you to sleep?” Xia Chuanzou drilled into the bed again, and then gently hugged Kasumigaoka, Kasumigaoka turned around, looked at his face, seemed a little sleepy, but a pair of wine-red eyes, bright and sparkling, and seemed a little erratic.

The two chatted for a while, and while chatting, Kasumigaoka suddenly asked him casually, “Do you like children?”

“...Not very much, I always feel it's troublesome.” Xia Chuanzou answered honestly.

“Ah? Why do you feel it's troublesome?”

“Because they cry and make noise, and they have to be raised, and after they grow up, I don't know if they can be taught well, and I have to worry about them, I always feel that I will have a headache when I think about it...” Xia Chuanzou hesitated.

There was only one thing he didn't say, and that was that he was worried that he would raise the child crookedly, after all, looking at his life, the first half was completely high pressure, and the first half after the restart was still high pressure, all relying on himself to grow up, if you let him educate, he wouldn't know how.

“Oh, then you die.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes.

“What's wrong?” Xia Chuanzou looked at her face with some doubt.

Because he noticed the little panic and nervousness in her eyes, he had been with Utaha for so long, and he couldn't be fooled by her little emotions.

“Under your pillow, see for yourself.”

Xia Chuanzou was stunned, then lifted the pillow and saw a report.

Then his eyes widened.

“You you you……”

“Me?” Kasumigaoka quietly looked at his face.

Xia Chuanzou was stunned for several seconds, then leaned over and kissed her on the face.

“Do you like children?” Xia Chuanzou said softly.

“I...I quite like them...I obviously used to hate children very much, especially those very naughty guys, who would remind me of the group of little boys who liked to attract attention when I was a child, but...when I suddenly saw the report, I was thinking wildly all day, and then I thought...it seems that having a child in the future is also a very good thing...I even think that naughty children are also very cute, maybe...”

“It seems...is that so?” Xia Chuanzou also tried to think about it.

“Then do you like boys or girls?” Kasumigaoka asked.

“Well, it should be girls, right? I feel that daughters will be more obedient, if it's a boy, and he rebels against his parents, I'll get a headache when I think about it.” Xia Chuanzou thought of himself again.

“That's just because you're not confident in teaching well, but...you're lucky.”

Kasumigaoka wrapped one of her arms around his neck.

“I asked a medium to divination, it's a girl.”

“Uh...that kind of thing is hard to say, it's not scientific at all...”

“It's the medium who predicted that we would all be together.” Kasumigaoka said angrily.

“Well...in that case...then, that's pretty good, she will definitely be like you, and she will be very beautiful in the future.”

“I didn't think about these things, I just think that if it's a boy...if he learns badly from you, what should I do if he harms girls everywhere?”

“This……” Xia Chuanzou was silent.

Even after so long, Shiyu was still a little concerned after all.

“What are you thinking about? I'm just worried that he will be chased and killed everywhere, after all, not all girls are as gentle as us.”

“Well……” So Xia Chuanzou didn't speak, just hugged the other party tightly, and was silent for a while.

Kasumigaoka didn't speak either, the lights in the room were a little dim, his and her eyes stared at each other, after about a few minutes, Xia Chuanzou whispered in her ear: “But we still have to give birth to it, right? Even if it's a boy……”

“Okay.” Kasumigaoka smiled, what she cared about was not the gender of the child.

Just after hearing his words, she couldn't help but show a gentle smile on her face, and even buried her face in Xia Chuanzou's chest, muttering softly, “Humph, Eriri is so envious of me...and so are Kato and the others.”

“That's for sure.” Xia Chuanzou definitely believed it.
