Her cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but gasp. She knew this guy would do this. This situation was too similar to before. Yuki Suho and Sumireko deliberately got rid of Yui, giving them space. She knew that, and she should have run away. But for some reason, she waited. Maybe she didn't want Renji to be disappointed to see the club door closed?
Renji hugged her waist, inhaling her sweet scent. "Yukino, do you want to hear my request?"
"Hmph, what could you possibly ask for?" Yukinoshita snorted, but didn't dare to move.
"My request is, let me hug you a little longer."
"You're already doing it, do you need to ask?"
"I was afraid you would run away, so I did it first, then asked for permission."
"You scoundrel!"
"Yes, if a scoundrel can hug you like this, I admit it."
"..." Yukinoshita's cheeks felt hot. She didn't know what to say. What made her embarrassed, she felt relieved when she was hugged. Gritting her teeth, she said, "You can only hug, Don't do anything else. This is, the club room."
"Alright, I promise," Renji agreed with a smile, then changed the topic. "How were your exams, Yukino?"
"Do you need to ask? If Mashiro's grade doesn't drop because of you, I'll definitely get first place!"
"Oh, so confident? Not afraid I'll steal your first place?"
Yukinoshita rolled her eyes. "You're trying to trick me, right? I won't fall for it."
Renji held back his laughter. "You really know me, Yukino. I was going to bet. Whoever loses has to fulfill one condition from the other party."
"I don't want to bet," Yukinoshita pouted. The guy would definitely give her a scary condition.
"Actually, I'm not that good at the Japanese test this time," Renji said on purpose.
"Don't even think about it. I won't bet with you." Yukinoshita held back her embarrassment and glared at him. "Can you, be a little nicer?"
She felt uncomfortable. Renji laughed. "Sorry, that's impossible. It's a natural phenomenon due to your charm, Yukino. How about you just adapt to it?"
"Adapt, and then let me go."
"Alright." Renji let go of her.
Yukinoshita saw his embarrassed expression, then walked to the window to get some air. Renji stood up and hugged her from behind.
"Yukino, do you think Cat will come looking for me again?"
Yukinoshita rolled her eyes. "You're the one who asked it to come. How long are you going to lie?"
"I'm not lying. They're attracted to your gentleness, Yukino. What does it have to do with me?"
"Are you still going to pretend?"
"Okay, I won't pretend. I did it on purpose."
Yukinoshita said firmly. "I'll tell Mr. Hiratsuka that you deliberately brought that cat here! You deliberately broke school rules!"
Renji hugged her tightly. "Didn't I do this for you? Who told Yukino to like cats so much?"
"You obviously did it for yourself, you pervert, You deliberately used the cat to seduce me."
"Do you want to continue to fall for my seduction?"
"No," she refused firmly.
"Liar. If you don't want to, why are you still in my arms?"
"You're forcing me."
"Then, the question is, why would I have to hug and force you?"
"How, how would I know?"
"Then I'll tell you." Renji turned her around. "Yukino, I like you."
Her cheeks flushed all the way to her ears. But not long after, she complained. "You said the same thing to Mashiro and the others."
"Uh..."
"Pervert! Flirt! Scoundrel!" She hit Renji's chest. Her strength wasn't much.
Renji grabbed her fist and kissed it. "Yes, I'm the worst. But even so, I'm still greedy and shameless. I want to keep you by my side, Yukino."
He held her waist, preventing her from escaping. He brought his cheek closer. Yukinoshita's breathing stopped. Is he, going to kiss me? The nervous girl closed her beautiful eyes. She felt her cheeks were hot. Renji kissed her cheek.
Looking at her nervous look, Renji smiled. "Although I want to kiss your lips now, I cherish you very much. I'll wait until you're completely willing..."
Yukinoshita lowered her head, embarrassed and a little disappointed. Finally, she nodded and said "yes." It was a silent agreement. The atmosphere returned to normal. Her heartbeat raced, her face flushed. She was still in Renji's arms.
Renji let go of her reluctantly and gave her a card. "Remember to carry it."
"What is this?"
"A protective card. When you're in danger, this card will create a shield."
"Is it that easy? Is this from a treasure chest too?"
"I guess so. You have to keep it safe."
"Alright." Yukinoshita's heart felt warm.
Renji hugged her until the club activities were over. When they parted, Yukinoshita felt embarrassed. She was actually a little reluctant. She was too shy to say it.
Unconsciously, she realized her relationship with Renji had become so close. When she was hugged, she didn't feel disgusted when he kissed her on the cheek. She was even nervous. Looking at Renji's lips, she thought about his intimacy with Mashiro and the others, and wondered what would happen next. She felt a little sour.
He's my fiancé, but he's already so close to others. If Renji really kissed me, could I refuse? The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she got. Her cheeks turned crimson.
Renji, who had already made the girl confused, returned to the Sakurasou Dormitory.
That night, Kamiigusa Misaki suddenly shouted at the door. "There's a doll! It's a real one! Wow, so beautiful!"
A doll? What on earth is this?
When Renji came out, he saw a girl with curly blonde hair. "Hello, sorry to bother you so late," the girl said.
Misaki pointed at her. "Renji, look! There's a doll!"
Renji frowned. "What doll? She's a foreigner!"
"Hello, I'm Renji Kamisaka, the owner of the Sakurasou Dormitory. You must be Rita. Welcome."
"Oh, you know me?" The girl smiled in surprise. "I haven't introduced myself yet."
"Mashiro said Rita would come today."
