After struggling for a whole morning, Yuecheng Xuejian finally picked out a style that she liked from the closet.

The yukata with a black background and embroidered cherry blossoms would not stand out too much. She tied a dark red belt around her waist, tied up her dry and yellow hair and fixed it with a clip, and simply powdered her face, making her look much better.

If you choose a yukata with bright colors and patterns, it will make your complexion look too bad.

Xuejian thought about it and put on another pair of earrings.

This pair of earrings was placed on Xuejian's dressing table in a beautiful wooden box when she woke up this morning. Topaz is not expensive, but it is the same color as her eyes, so Xuejian likes it very much.

After finally finishing her dressing, when Yukie walked out of the room, Akutagawa Ryunosuke was already waiting.

Xuejian's eyes lit up, "You are also wearing a black yukata, what a coincidence."

Of course it was a coincidence. I asked someone to send it yesterday. How could we not wear couple outfits when going to a fireworks festival?

But Xuejian was still very surprised. The very ordinary yukata without any pattern looked gorgeous and cool when worn by Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

But Akutagawa Ryunosuke's face was too pale, and the black yukata made him look more like a paper man.

Xuejian frowned, "Akutagawa-kun, have you had a physical examination this year? Your lung disease hasn't gotten any worse, has it?"

She had seen Akutagawa Ryunosuke's physical examination report before. Although his physical condition was a little weak, it was not as bad as hers.

"It's okay, let's go."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's eyes fell on the ground after he left Yukimi. Only now did he look at her from head to toe while talking to her, and his ears turned red.

"You should say you look really good today. We are lovers now."

Xuejian refused to give in.

When Akutagawa heard the word "lover", he almost missed a step. He was not yet used to the change in identity.

"You look really good today." This sentence is really sincere.

In the morning, they had red bean rice and rice cakes made by Mrs. Inari, and for lunch, the restaurant served kaiseki cuisine selected by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Xuejian had reason to suspect that this was a backdoor he got by using his identity as a member of the Hong Kong Black Society, otherwise it would not be so easy to get into this restaurant that required reservations half a year in advance.

However, from the incident of eating, Xuejian realized how serious the other person was.

Probably because he spent the whole night searching on how to be a man with strong boyfriend power, Akutagawa Ryunosuke took care of Yukie in every possible way, which made her a little flattered.

When Akutagawa Ryunosuke tried to help her cut up a whole grilled mackerel with the Rashomon, Yukimi finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Akutagawa-kun, you don't have to accommodate me like this. I don't like this."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke silently retracted his supernatural power and asked in confusion: "Did I do something wrong?"

"No, it's because..." Because I'm the one who wants to give you a good love experience, and I'm the one who leaves you with good memories, so you don't have to accommodate me.

"Because I just liked your silly look before, right, miss?"

The fence door of the box opened, and the person sitting in the box on their left said with a smile.

Xuejian was confused. Dazai Osamu, where did you come from? She looked next to him and saw Yamazaki Hideyoshi greeting her. Where did you two come from?

"Mr. Dazai." This is the extremely excited Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

It’s great that there’s no human tiger following Mr. Dazai today.

Dazai Osamu nodded casually, glanced at their outfits, and understood, "Fireworks festival?"

Looking at the two people wearing the same yukata, Xuejian smiled, "Same as before."

I looked at Yamazaki Hideyoshi with admiration. It was not easy at all to finally start dating him.

Yamazaki Hideyoshi felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.

"Want to come together? We didn't go with the detective agency. Dazai said he knew a spot that was perfect for watching fireworks."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was about to agree without thinking, but suddenly remembered that today was Xuejian's birthday. He turned to look at Xuejian and said, "I will listen to you, young lady."

You are good, Xuejian read these words from Dazai Osamu's face.

Xuejian smiled reservedly, "Then let's go together."

After leisurely finishing their meal, the four of them strolled along the street together. Xuejian suddenly felt that even if the date was ruined, it was no big deal.

The revered teacher was rarely in a friendly mood with him today. Although he was harsh in his words, Dazai Osamu could teach Akutagawa a lot with just a few words and make him happy for several days.

Lover, whether he was the one he really wanted or not, was dressed beautifully today, much gentler and more charming than usual, and always looked at him with loving eyes.

It's a very happy day, isn't it, Akutagawa-kun?

Xuejian stretched out her arms. She never wore short sleeves even in the middle of summer. The blue spots and the soft flesh that formed small dents when pressed made her look like a corpse being supported by bones to walk.

But as long as Akutagawa Ryunosuke is happy, nothing else matters.

Because today is supposed to be his birthday.

Yuecheng Xuejian hasn't celebrated her birthday for a long time. That day is just a reminder that she has survived another year. It is still unknown whether she can have a birthday next year.

But Akutagawa Ryunosuke is different. Starting from the birthday he celebrated this year, he will be free and happy every year from now on.

The place Dazai chose was the top of a low mountain, close to the main venue of the fireworks festival and far away from the crowd. It was good in every way except for climbing. Everyone present was agile except for Yukie Tsukishiro. Just when Yukie was thinking about whether to hire someone to carry her up, Akutagawa Ryunosuke squatted down.

"Come up."

Hey hey hey! Xuejian's eyes widened.

Dazai Osamu, who was standing aside and watching, burst into laughter and pulled Yamazaki Hideyoshi away first.

Under constant urging, Tsukishiro Yukie finally climbed onto the back of Akutagawa Ryunosuke. The other party stood up steadily, weighed her and said, "You are so light."

There was no conversation along the way. Xuejian's whole body was stiff. It was not until Akutagawa Ryunosuke called out to her for the umpteenth time that she responded, "What did you say?"

"I said the earrings are beautiful, do you like them?"

"I like it." Xue Jian answered without hesitation, touching her earlobe subconsciously, "You only found out yesterday that it's my birthday today, how did you have time to choose a gift?"

"I started picking things when I knew your birthday was in the summer. I wanted to check your file to confirm the date, but I got delayed recently. Luckily I bought everything in advance."

"Thank you." Xuejian silently hugged his neck tighter.

They met many pedestrians along the way, all of whom were probably going up the mountain to watch the fireworks. Akutagawa Ryunosuke walked very steadily and quickly, leaving everyone far behind, and soon the only sound around them was the sound of the wind in the mountains and forests.

Dazai Osamu and Yamazaki Hideyoshi didn't know which road they took, so there was no way to catch up with them.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke also realized this, but his pace was still very fast. Xuejian realized it and asked in a low voice, "Are you a little tired? Put me down. We are not far from the top of the mountain."

"I'm not tired, I'm nervous."

It took Xuejian a while to realize what he meant, and she punched him. This guy is really straightforward, saying whatever he wants.

But Akutagawa Ryunosuke's hands remained steady, holding her firmly on her back.

Finally arriving at the destination, Xuejian jumped down impatiently, found a tree and squatted down, away from Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

Damn it! She clearly thought that Akutagawa Ryunosuke was an innocent boy, and she should be the one to take the lead and guide them in their love relationship (playing house), but why did Akutagawa suddenly act like he was on a roll? Did he ask someone for tutoring?

"Get up, the fireworks festival is about to begin." Akutagawa Ryunosuke pulled her hand.

"Oh."

The two of them took their seats, but Dazai Osamu and Yamazaki Hideyoshi still did not show up.

"Could it have been taken away by a wolf?" Xuejian was a little worried. In fact, she wanted the two of them to act as a buffer between her and Akutagawa.

"How is that possible? Just ignore them." Akutagawa was speechless.

As they were talking, brilliant fireworks exploded above their heads.

Wow! They both looked up and saw fireworks spreading like stars.

"Happy birthday, Xuejian."

Tsukishiro Yukimi turned her head, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke was not looking at the fireworks, but staring at her profile.

"Happy birthday, Akutagawa-kun."

She no longer hesitated and tiptoed up to Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't understand what was going on and subconsciously opened his arms and held her in his arms.

Getting closer and closer.

Just when he was about to get close to her, Akutagawa Ryunosuke took the lead and gave Tsukishiro Yukie a butterfly kiss on the cheek.

"I can't let you get ahead of me."

The skeleton between that of a boy and a young man was enough to hold the girl in his arms. It was the first time that Akutagawa Ryunosuke showed such an arrogant smile in front of Tsukishiro Yuki. It was the smile of a Hong Kong black trouble dog, and it was the smile of a person who looked at his prey with determination.

"I am not that easy to fool, Miss. The love mission will not end until I die."
