01

Is this what you are looking for? A warm and friendly voice came from above my head

I turned around and leaned on the railing, waiting for the arrival of Junshu Inoue

Wow, it is Inoue Toshiki

Is that so? After listening to my words, he smiled at me slyly and then approached me step by step

I slowly raised my head

Oh? You want to go out with me? You are my maid, so it should be I who summons you, not the other way around! Speak up! Is there something you want to do for me?

It feels as though there is a drum in my heart beating fiercely

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you so close to me!" As I watched Junshu Inoue step closer to me, I quickly reached out to push him away.

I widened my eyes, unable to believe that he actually agreed to my request. The drum in my heart beat more and more intensely.

I... I came to find you to say... can we terminate the contract?" I stammered, while inwardly blaming myself for my lack of resolve

He did not answer me, but continued the previous topic, which means he really agreed! A sense of happiness filled my heart

With a heart full of anxiety, I ran downstairs, and before me lay a stretch of green grass, which added to the difficulty of finding the bracelet

In an instant, the small universe within my heart erupted completely, and I was filled with rage, shouting loudly: "Inoue Toshiki! Listen to me carefully, you have 10 minutes to appear before me! Otherwise, you will be doomed!"

... ...

Wow, I finally found it! I exclaimed joyfully

Watching Sato Yu leave, I pinched my own cheek, feeling the pain; there was no doubt about it, this was not a dream

Do you think I would be afraid of you speaking out? Such matters should be more embarrassing for a girl, right? His smile became even more wickedly charming

Aren't you afraid that I will reveal the fact that you slept in the same room with me yesterday? You are the pure and sunny prince in the hearts of all the girls in the school, after all, I whispered softly in his ear

I began to envision in my mind what clothes I would change into at home for the date later

Although my heart was filled with anger, I still softened my tone and gently asked, "Um... I would like to ask you out. Do you have some time?"

I sit on the grass, feeling somewhat annoyed and frustrated

Inhale, exhale, inhale, inhale, I want to give myself more courage

About 10 minutes later, a figure slowly appeared in front of me

Where are you, where are you, bracelet, bracelet, come out quickly! Damn Inoue Junshu! I will not let you and * picture * book go!" As I searched in the grass, I couldn't help but curse Inoue Junshu in anger.

Dong dong—dong dong—

As long as she can become his girlfriend, the younger brother will be saved

His shadow blocked the sunlight, and in an instant, I felt a chill. Although I had just roared at him with great momentum, when he truly appeared before me, I immediately became weak...

"Is there something?" He walked up to me and spoke coldly.

I tightly grasped the bracelet. It seemed to carry his scent, and I held it close to my nose, taking a deep breath.

The long-awaited opportunity to get closer to Sato Yu has finally arrived

I finally came to my senses; he is none other than Sato Yu, ranked first on the list of billionaires!

The person before me has dazzling golden hair, with thick bangs covering his forehead. His dark eyes shine like black crystals, and a broad smile blooms on his exquisite face

The sound is crisp and resonates in the ears

His appearance at this moment infuriated me. I wanted to push him away with all my strength, but my hand was tightly grasped by him. I exerted all my effort and finally shook off his hand. But at that moment, the bracelet on my wrist flew off!

This face feels remarkably familiar to me, as I rapidly search my mind for his name

The indescribable excitement instantly made my heart beat faster, and the corners of my lips slightly curled upwards

Upon hearing someone mention the words "ranked second on the billionaire list," Inoue Toshiki's previously smiling face instantly turned somber

The warm sunlight spills onto the corridor

I paced back and forth in the corridor. After a long while, I finally mustered the courage to dial that unfamiliar phone number. The person on the other end spoke with their usual arrogance: "Calling me so early, what is it? A girl like you, who loves money and is unlucky, must have nothing good to say to me!"

What?

Finally, I saw a small white light shining amidst the greenery, and I excitedly walked over to it

Sato Yu, I finally have the opportunity to get close to you

What a lovely name! My name is Sato Yu. This is your bracelet, I am returning it to you

The second-ranked young master on the legendary list of billionaires truly lives up to his reputation

My recent outburst drew peculiar glances from the surrounding classmates

It must not be lost

This individual clearly does not like to hear others say that he is second

The tailored school uniform, the slender neck, the clean chin, the slightly upturned corners of the mouth, the perfect face, he seems like a prince who has stepped out of a fairy tale

Cold sweat suddenly dripped down my forehead

The face I have only seen on the billionaire rankings has unexpectedly appeared before me today

"Inoue Toshiki! I hate you!" I shouted angrily at Inoue Toshiki

How I long to hear him say the words of agreement

What if I refuse? His voice was quite magnetic, yet it was so indifferent, with his thin red lips curving into a charming arc

That warm feeling seems to still envelop me after he has left

Sato Yu, I will definitely catch up to you! I shouted excitedly

Uh... such a sudden date! However, I like it. Alright, I agree to you.

I angrily pressed the hang-up button and then continued to wait in place

At that moment, the person gracefully crouched down, holding the bracelet up in front of me, his eyes clean and bright, gazing at the insignificant me

Ah! My bracelet...

I must seize this opportunity well

I stood there with my hands on my hips, feeling quite indignant. If it weren't for the fact that he had something on me, I wouldn't be wasting my time with him here! I still haven't settled the score with him over what happened last night

The appearance is truly exquisite

However, when I parted the grass, I only saw a piece of glass.

That bracelet is something of great importance to me

Yes

I rushed down the stairs in search of the bracelet

The shadow of a person cast on the ground is slender and tall, and I slowly raise my head to look up

That bracelet is the only memento my mother left for me before she departed

It must not be lost under any circumstances

Did I hear that correctly

Did you come to me for this matter?

I furrowed my brow, wondering how there could be such a sharp-tongued young man

Thank you... thank you for helping me find the bracelet. As a token of my gratitude, may I invite you to dinner? In a moment of fluster, I unexpectedly spoke words that surprised even myself. Although I have always wanted to get closer to Sato Yu, would he accept my invitation given that we are still unfamiliar with each other?

My mind was unexpectedly blank for half a minute as I kept gazing at that exquisite and beautiful face

Sato Yu's face blossomed with a flower-like smile, radiant and brilliant under the sunlight, gentle and beautiful. He said softly, "Then, wait for me at the school gate after class." After saying this, he turned and walked away

"You... you really accepted my invitation for a date?" I asked uncertainly

I unconsciously introduced myself: "Hello, my name is Nao Suzuhara."

The classmates around could not help but stop and admire his beauty

It turns out that it is not my bracelet

I covered my mouth, staring blankly as the bracelet flew out, tracing a graceful arc in the air before falling heavily to the ground below

His voice is crisp and melodious, captivating me once again
