Momo felt time slow down. Renji's hug was so warm, it made her feel hot. Her cheeks were so red. She began to breathe rapidly, her face flushed. She forgot to breathe through her nose because she was too nervous.
Renji saw she was about to pass out and immediately let go.
"Ha, hah!" Momo gasped for breath. Her chest rose and fell rapidly. "Ha, Renji, you, you're so mean!"
Renji smiled and boldly touched her waist. Momo hugged his neck tightly, her face red. The feeling was so embarrassing, but she couldn't bear to push him away. That strange feeling made her eyes well up.
"Why, do you regret it?"
Momo shook her head, resting her cheek on Renji's chest. "I don't regret it. After all, I'm the one who ruined your reputation, I deserve to be punished. I just, can't adapt."
"Don't be afraid, Senior Momo, we'll adapt. Don't forget my current identity." Renji patted her bottom.
"Ah!" Momo cried out. "That hurts! You're not acting at all, you're just being yourself!"
Renji smiled naughtily. He lowered his head and kissed the girl's lips again. Momo looked at him with teary eyes, but her heart trembled. There was a sweet feeling. This is what a man should be like. Compared to him, Yasuo was just an idiot. Renji clearly saw her charm. Otherwise, how could he kiss her? This kiss was sacred. If he didn't like her, he would never do this.
Momo closed her eyes, shyly accepting his advice. Although happy that her charm was appreciated, she felt a little sour. This person is so skilled!
Behind the tree, the short-haired girl gripped her scissors. She stared at Renji, wishing she could cut off his hand. He was a real pervert! He kissed her, but why was he hitting President Sakura? Dammit. How can I save the president from this perverted and cruel boyfriend?
Renji didn't care about the angry gaze in the darkness. He seemed to have forgotten his initial goal. He was just pretending, but he was acting honestly.
Momo felt like she was on fire. That terrifying thing began to awaken. She pushed him, but her hands were still on Renji's neck. Renji held her waist tightly and continued to kiss. Because Momo made him her shield, she had to pay the price. And he was doing this to make the other girl give up.
Finally, the moment ended.
Momo leaned into Renji's embrace. She looked at him with watery eyes, full of embarrassment, and a hint of tenderness. "Renji, you can't be like this. You're not acting at all!"
"But Momo, you can't deny I helped you, right? I have to act a little perverted to match your description."
"That's true, but, you really kissed me!" She covered her lips, her heart pounding. The more she looked at him, the more handsome Renji seemed.
"Is Momo upset?" Renji asked.
Momo shook her head. "Even though you're a scoundrel, I'm strangely not bothered. But no more. I'm, a little scared."
"Hahaha, Senior Momo, you're so sweet." Renji stroked her hair. "I'll take responsibility. I'll be your shield. So, if you have any problems in the future, remember to call your perverted boyfriend."
"Well, I'll make good use of you!" Momo smiled. But she didn't intend to keep bothering Renji.
"I really don't understand Yasuo's way of thinking. Senior Momo is so sweet, but he rejected you. I admire him."
Momo glanced at Renji. "I must have been blind. Don't mention him. I'm not talking to him anymore."
"Alright, let's not." Renji continued to stroke her long hair. Momo let her pink hair fall loose. Her oval face looked charming.
Momo sighed. "I lost a lot today. I thought you would be gentle and agree to pretend. I didn't expect you to come on to me directly."
"I'm a dangerous man, Senior Momo. If you throw yourself into my arms, you have to be ready to be hugged. I'm not a naive boy."
"You're the worst!" Momo hit him playfully, then leaned into his embrace. Her embarrassment was about to explode. After this moment, she realized she was reluctant to leave that warm hug. Unfortunately, she was the student council president at Toshōbu High School and couldn't transfer. Besides, Renji had so many 'boats' at Sobu High. It was better this way.
Time passed, and the sky turned dark. Momo had to go. Renji walked her to the station.
"See you, Momo-senpai."
"Yeah, I'll look for you again. Be ready, my perverted boyfriend!"
"Anytime!" Renji nodded in agreement.
After Momo returned, she met Runa Kusami.
"Momo, why are your lips swollen?" Runa asked.
"Ah, this, I ate spicy food. It was so spicy they got swollen!" Momo was embarrassed. In fact, she had deliberately flirted with Renji.
