Ai Yin stared blankly at the boy in front of her, who was introducing himself to everyone so openly.
"Ahhh, this is so sweet, I'm really going to eat this dog food."
"Anon-chan, you have good taste."
"Did you take the day off specifically to accompany Aine on her school trip?"
However, the three of them treated Banami as a complete stranger.
Suddenly, Aine seemed to have thought of something.
"Um, I have something I want to say to Banami. I'll get in the car later," Aine quickly said.
"Oh dear, I can't stand you two anymore, let's get on the bus first." Midorikawa very tactfully pulled the two onto the bus first, giving them a rare moment alone.
After the three left, Aine quickly turned around and said, "You... used a new identity card?"
Banai said with a smile, "I told you yesterday, I'm serious. As long as you're willing to stay by my side, I'll handle everything else."
Therefore, at least for Hanami, the idea of having a harem is nonexistent.
Because he can date a girl under a new identity each time, and issues such as facing Aine's parents and societal scrutiny will not exist.
He wanted everyone to be happy and didn't want them to experience any misfortune or sadness.
Banami gently brushed her chin against Aine's forehead and said, "So, today I am not Toyokawa Yuu, but Banami Yuu, who belongs only to you as your boyfriend. You can flaunt your relationship with me as much as you want without worrying about anything, just like before."
Chapter 47 The Foolish Couple Makes Their Reappearance
When the bus was about to leave, Hanami and Aine boarded.
"Here, here." The three sisters, red, green, and blue, had already reserved seats for the two of them.
Unlike before, Midorikawa saw the two of them openly walking up hand in hand.
Not only Midorikawa, but even the other classmates were very surprised to see Aine holding the hand of the "strange boy" and began to whisper among themselves.
Now, Aine no longer hides the fact that she has a boyfriend.
To her relief, the identity card of Banami was indeed effective. Even though the boy standing here was the same person, no one could recognize him as "Toyokawa Yu".
This inexplicably relieved Aine of some of her inner turmoil. Just as Banami had said, as long as she could switch identities, her relationship with Banami would not attract any criticism from society.
After all, in other people's eyes, it was Toyokawa Yu who married Miss Shoko, and it was Banami Yu who was in love with her.
The two are now dating openly and honestly, and there's no reason for them to have a secret relationship to arouse suspicion.
However, there were exceptions. Gao Songdeng looked at the two with some surprise, but before she could get close, Su Shi took her hand and made her sit down again so as not to disturb them.
After the two sat down hand in hand, Midorikawa seemed a little dissatisfied and hummed twice: "I didn't expect that someone with your personality, Aine, could hide the fact that you have a boyfriend for so long. Uh-huh, when did you two meet?"
The girl blushed slightly. She had thought it was impossible for her to shake hands with Hanami in front of her friends like this, and now it felt like a dream.
“We met when Aine was studying in England. Coincidentally, I was traveling in England at that time... Hey, Aine, right?” Banami took the initiative to steer the conversation toward the girl.
Aine paused slightly, as if she could read the other person's meaning from Banami's eyes.
It's almost like... when they first pretended to be lovers, she did the same thing, making up the fact that they were in a relationship.
Back then, the two were pretending to be in love, but now they are truly in love. Thinking about this, Ai Yin even felt a pang of nostalgia for the passage of time.
Moreover, every word she says now will become the truth.
"Well, when I was in England, I wasn't quite used to it. It just so happened that I met Banami, who was traveling in England. He's a bit careless, and he actually left his passport on the ground."
"Then I helped her pick it up. I didn't expect it to be someone from my hometown, so we chatted for a bit. He was also looking for a tour guide for his trip to England..."
Aine began to fabricate her "romantic encounter" with Banami very naturally. Even though it had never happened, she answered fluently, as if these scenes had appeared in her mind many, many times before.
Not only the three sisters, Red, Green and Blue, but even the other students on the bus couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen to the couple's romantic history.
Only Su Shi, sitting not far away, had a somewhat disdainful expression on her face.
"After Banami returned to Japan, I kept thinking about him. Finally, I understood what love was. So, I decided to go back to Japan to find him!"
Incidentally, he also cleared his name of being a British deserter. If he deserted for love, how could that be considered desertion?
"Although we're currently in Tokyo and Kyoto respectively, compared to being in different countries, we can see each other often now. After graduation, we can..."
At this point, Aine blushed just in time.
Immediately, Hong excitedly screamed, "Ahhhhh, Anon-chan, you're so mean! You have such a happy relationship, how come you never mentioned it before?"
Ai Yin giggled, a little embarrassed but also a little proud.
No matter how much her personality changes, she can't shake off that little bit of vanity. Showing off her relationship in front of the whole class is a very pleasant thing for Aine.
Mainly, Banami is just too presentable.
"Hey, Anon-chan, what do you like about this Hanami-kun?" Midorikawa asked curiously.
"Of course I love everything about him!" Aine exclaimed excitedly.
When she no longer needs to suppress her feelings for Hanami in front of others, the girl's behavior becomes somewhat "arrogant".
Immediately, the others showed a hint of tension, and Lan couldn't help but complain, "Thanks for the treat, but I'm already stuffed."
Then, some girls who were usually familiar with Ai Yin started booing.
"It's just Aine, yet she's so arrogant."
Just then, Banami whispered, "Actually, Aine really likes it when I play the guitar."
After saying that, Banami took out Aine's guitar and played a light and cheerful melody.
Don't forget our promise to each other at the end of summer.
*Don't forget our lofty hopes.
I believe we will meet again in August, ten years from now.
The three sisters, Red, Green, and Blue, listened to Banami singing a melodious song in her clear and bright voice. It was as if they were transporting everyone present into the scene of graduating and parting with their friends, reminding them of the friends they parted ways with when they graduated from junior high school.
*I heard you say, "Let's go home together."
I was a little shy at the time and even covered my face with my backpack.
Actually, I'm really happy, really happy.
Ah, fireworks bloom brilliantly in the night sky, yet a touch of sadness lingers.
The audience, including the three sisters (red, green, and blue) and other girls, were somewhat immersed in the melody of Banami. Only Aine stared blankly at the other person, as if she had returned to the time when the two of them filmed the dating reality show.
Although their relationship was fake at that time, it was an important process for Aine to fall in love with him.
Moreover, she could hear the other person's reluctance and plea for her to stay in Banami's song.
Xi, are you really that reluctant to let me leave you?
You really are trying your best to keep me here.
So at least for today, let me wholeheartedly be your most adorable girlfriend.
Thinking of this, the girl gently rested her head on her boyfriend's shoulder, making all the girls in the class envious.
After all, who wouldn't want a talented boyfriend who's someone they meet in a foreign land?
"Waaaaah, Xi, I really, really love you the most."
After listening to Hanami's song, Aine was so moved that she shouted.
"Aaaaaah, help! Are we getting to Kiyomizu-dera yet? I've had enough of this idiot couple!" Kurenai made a vomiting gesture.
Aine gently hugged Banami and said with a hint of smugness, "Hmph, you're just jealous. My boyfriend is the best in the world."
Well, now Chihaya Aine has instantly become the enemy of the whole class, and Hanami even felt a real resentment rising up in the car.
Therefore, Banami decided to add fuel to the fire.
He planted a big kiss on Aine's cheek, making a soft smack.
Ai Yin blushed and let out an "Ah," seemingly a little surprised, but her face was sweet.
As a result, the entire car seemed to be surrounded by black resentment.
"Chihaya~Aine~"
"Ah! Don't come any closer, Xi! Help me!"
Chapter Forty-Eight: In Tokyo, I am a Tokyoite; in Kyoto, I am a Kyotoite.
"Oh, please don't mess up my hair, it will be troublesome for Banami to fix it later."
At the entrance of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a pink-haired tin canine chattering away.
"Damn it, you idiot Anong, you never miss a chance to show off your boyfriend! I'm going to tell the teacher that you're having inappropriate heterosexual relationships!" one girl threatened.
"Hehe, Xi-kun and I have a purely platonic heterosexual relationship."
"Waaaaaah, help me!"
Several girls finally couldn't stand Aine's sun anymore and left hand in hand, seemingly to isolate the girl.
It's clear that Aine has a pretty good relationship with the girls. Apart from a little jealousy, everyone is genuinely wishing her well in her relationship and giving her space to be alone.
"It might be a bit much for me to say, but do you have to be so dramatic?" Banami scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed herself.
"Hehe, I just want everyone to know that I'm very happy now." Aine naturally hugged Banami's hand, pressing her whole body tightly against his arm.
Banami couldn't help but glance at her, and then heard the girl say shyly, "You...you can only compare me to Mutsu, okay? You can't think about other girls, or I'll get angry."
"No, have you completely given up on your future possibilities? At least for my sake, please make papaya stewed milk, okay?" Banami said somewhat excitedly.
"Ah, you idiot, you still like the soyorin type after all."
They say big things have their advantages, and small things have their merits; men's words are indeed deceitful.
The two bickered and jokingly, their hands never parting. Then, Aine saw a clothing store near Kiyomizu-dera Temple and excitedly exclaimed, "Yu, look! They sell DIY couple shirts there!"
Then the girl pulled her inside, and when she came out, Banami was wearing a shirt with the words "I ·Kyoto" on it.
Banai said, sounding somewhat strained, "Why isn't it like that now?"
Although it's quite embarrassing to wear this shirt.
"Hey, I'm a Tokyoite when I'm in Tokyo, and a Kyotoite when I'm in Kyoto, so I am today." After saying that, Aine even made a heart shape with her hands and acted cute, which was incredibly endearing.
Oh no, his girlfriend is just too cute.
Banami couldn't resist giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"Hmm, aren't you getting more and more casual about kissing people's foreheads these days?" Ai Yin said with a charming dissatisfaction.
"I'll kiss you then."
"Then... I want to kiss you back."
Even passersby seemed unable to stand the aura of this foolish couple, and they all gave them a wide berth.
Just then, a girl who looked like a small animal came up to the two of them.
"Anon-chan".
Ai Yin paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, it's Xiao Deng. Perfect, I have something I want to say to you privately."
Then, he gestured slightly to Banami, and the boy considerately left the two girls some space to chat.
"What's wrong, Xiaodeng? Is it because I've been playing with Banami these past two days and neglected you? Are you jealous?" Aine said with a smile.
But Takamatsu Akari gently shook her head and said, "No, it's like this, Anon-chan, why are you meeting with Hana-chan...?"
"My relationship with him has become better, aren't you happy, Xiaodeng?" Aine felt that she was being a little malicious.
However, when Takamatsu looked at Aine, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.
"No, don't make that face, Xiaodeng. You should be happy for me. After all, I'm very happy right now."
“But…” Takamatsu Akari clenched her fists tightly.
However, Aine gently placed her hands on Kotomi's shoulders and said earnestly with a slight smile, "Hey, Kotomi, please keep a close eye on me and Hanami these next few days, until the end of this school trip."
Because of the song I'm working on in my head, Xiao Deng, you're an important part of it, so please look after us carefully, I beg you.
Takamatsu had never seen Aine so earnest, which made her reluctant to agree to her request, though she was still worried about her.
"Also, this matter must be kept a secret from Miss Xiangzi and the others." Ai Yin put her finger to her lips and winked at Xiao Deng.
