After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back

Kagura Hikaru and Ayakoji Chiyoko had started dating.

This matter did not cause any commotion.

Because, apart from the two of them and a certain Student Council President, no one knew.

Although this rule had been trampled upon in various ways by many people already, strictly speaking, Yuqiu High School still had a rule prohibiting campus romance.

Openly expressing the relationship was akin to seeking death.

Kohinata Motoyo was an exception, as she had a family background that allowed the school authorities to turn a blind eye.

As for Ayakoji Chiyoko, although she herself was reluctant to admit it, her family was somewhat inferior.

She was a descendant of a Former Chinese Clan and nominally a member of the Island Nation's upper society, but since her father's generation, due to the heir refusing to enter politics and running off to become an idol instead, their influence in society had started to decline.

Kohinata Motoyo could make Ugao High's principal and head of discipline bow and scrape, while Ayakoji Chiyoko could at best make them behave a bit more politely.

If a principal issue occurred at school, the way they would treat the two of them would clearly be entirely different.

Moreover, most importantly, Ayakoji Chiyoko was currently participating in the Student Council election, and was in the midst of the crucial final vote.

If she were disqualified from candidacy for breaking the school rules, causing all her previous efforts to be wasted, the loss would be immense.

Today was the second day of the Student Council election.

Approaching the school, one could still feel that enthusiasm for canvassing.

However, today Kagura Hikaru found his surroundings significantly quieter, and no one was forcibly pushing flyers into his hands anymore.

Probably because the tall girl, Ayakoji Chiyoko, was walking beside him.

She usually kept a cold face towards others, but today she seemed in a particularly good mood, with a slight smile on her lips and occasionally glancing at Kagura Hikaru.

"Do I have something on my face?"

"No, I just want to look."

"Look at what?"

"My boyfriend."

"...Talking too loudly might get us heard."

"Hehe, don't worry, I'll be careful." Ayakoji Chiyoko leaned in quietly, her breath warm on his ear, with a sweet scent, "After school today, let's sneak out and go on a date somewhere."

"What about work?"

"Leave it to Wada, he can handle it."

"...Okay."

Ayakoji Chiyoko smiled quietly, but soon tensed up again and pulled back her head to avoid being noticed by any schoolmates.

The day before, after she had confessed, Kagura Hikaru had gone out to cool off for ten minutes before coming back and agreeing to date.

When he had run away initially, Ayakoji Chiyoko was somewhat worried, feeling Kagura Hikaru's reaction was not as joyful as she had imagined. Weren't they both clearly smitten with each other?

Why didn't he simply agree?

From birth till now, Ayakoji Chiyoko had never been so nervous.

During the confession, she had only feigned composure, but in reality, her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

She had discovered that a girl in love could become so sensitive and vulnerable, which was a first for Ayakoji Chiyoko.

It was as if she had returned to her weaker self during her primary school days.

Back then, she had nothing, and it was Kagura Hikaru who had stepped forward to protect her.

A girl saved by a hero falling in love with the hero—it was supposed to be a common story.

Only, this romance had been delayed by six years.

Now, she had finally caught up.

The gratitude for her long-searched-for benefactor combined with her feelings for Kagura Hikaru himself.

The happiness of being with the person she liked filled Ayakoji Chiyoko's heart.

Even she herself had never imagined becoming like this.

Although she had anticipated that being in a relationship with the person she liked would be joyful, she hadn't expected it to be to this extent.

She had many things she wanted to experience with him and endless words she wanted to tell him.

Moreover, she had not yet expressed her gratitude to him for helping her at that time.

She wanted to constantly watch over him, hold his hand, kiss him, and rush into his arms to smell his scent.

She wanted to be with him forever and always.

Love was indeed dazzling and mesmerizing.

Even just thinking about him made her involuntarily smile.

For someone like her, the world had a very fitting descriptor—

A love fool.

"Ah, Kagura, and Classmate Ayakoji, good morning."

At the entrance of the school building, they encountered Kohinata Motoyo.

She was changing her shoes in front of the locker, slipping her feet, clad in black knee-high socks, into indoor shoes, then placed her own shoes into the locker, closed the door, and turned to smile at Kagura Hikaru and Ayakoji Chiyoko.

The moment she saw her, the smile on Ayakoji Chiyoko's face disappeared.

A vile woman who threatened and framed her boyfriend!

If it wouldn't upset Kagura Hikaru and affect their election campaign, she might have already attacked that woman.

"Good morning, Kohinata student," she said coldly.

"Good morning."

Kohinata Motoyo glanced at her thoughtfully, then regained her smile, walked up to Kagura Hikaru, clasped her hands behind her back, and cajoled, "Kagura, did you receive the gift I sent you yesterday?"

"A gift?" Ayakoji Chiyoko looked over sharply.

After a few seconds of silence, Kagura Hikaru unzipped his backpack and pulled out an AMOUAGE perfume box: "Is this what you're talking about? It was in my mailbox yesterday afternoon."

"Yes, that's the one."

"Here, take it back, I don't need it."

Kagura Hikaru handed it to her.

Upon hearing this, Kohinata Motoyo was not annoyed, and smiled as she took the box, "That's true, I forgot you never wear perfume, sorry, I picked the wrong gift."

"...Don't send any more in the future."

Kagura Hikaru and Ayakoji Chiyoko went to change their shoes, while Kohinata Motoyo didn't leave early; instead, she stood nearby with a smile, holding her handbag.

While changing shoes, their lockers weren't far apart, and Ayakoji Chiyoko softly asked Kagura Hikaru, "Didn't you guys break up? Why is she still clinging on?"

"Probably because I didn't emphasize it enough."

"Just end it cleanly and decisively."

"Don't say silly things. That would only provoke her, and I won't deal with her if she turns into a Kiryu Hina."

"You're not doing this for me...."

"No."

"Hmph, we are dating and you are still shy about it." Ayakoji Chiyoko rolled her eyes, "Tell me, if we tell her about our relationship, what would her reaction be?"

"...You'd likely be 'shot six times in the back and die by suicide,' roughly speaking."

"If that happens, would you avenge me?"

"I don't want to think about that possibility."

Kagura Hikaru lowered his eyes, slipped on his indoor shoes, and left first.

With a clear goal, Kohinata Motoyo greeted Ayakoji Chiyoko and then followed him upstairs.

Ayakoji Chiyoko watched their backs from behind.

She knew that Kagura Hikaru didn't want the two women to have too much contact, which was why he drew Kohinata Motoyo away like this.

After all, both of them knew that the latter was a dangerous character.

But she had decided—to protect Kagura Hikaru.

Ayakoji Chiyoko did not want to lose him again.

She didn't want to leave him alone to bear it all, like in the past.

Ayakoji Chiyoko grabbed her handbag and quickly followed him.
