Attributing elementary school dating to the system made Chu Hui feel much better instantly. He wasn't thinking this just because he couldn't get a girlfriend.
"Sekai, give me your opinion," Chu Hui said.
Asking Saionji Sekai to do this so-called confession practice wasn't purely to win her over; Chu Hui really wasn't very good at this sort of thing.
To him, a confession was probably just saying the three words "I like you" to the person he loved. As for anything else... if he had been able to consider it, he wouldn't have been single all this time.
"I think you're too direct. If you confess so suddenly without the girl being mentally prepared, it will be very troubling for her."
Saionji Sekai frowned and considered before speaking.
"Oh, then what suggestions do you have, Sekai?" Chu Hui asked curiously.
"How about watching a movie? Preferably a tear-jerking romance movie; the success rate would definitely be very high." Saionji Sekai clasped her hands together, her expression full of longing. "Think about it: two people enveloped in an ambiguous atmosphere in the dark, accompanied by a touching romance film, their hands naturally clasping together, eyes meeting, faces slowly drawing closer..."
"I don't think that will work."
Chu Hui hurriedly shook his head. Katsura Kotonoha liked horror movies. Imagine this: the protagonist smashes a zombie's head with a hammer, the whole theater is screaming, with red, white, and green things flying across the screen. If he were to suddenly confess in that atmosphere, he'd likely be treated as mentally disabled.
Just thinking about that scene made Chu Hui shudder, so he quickly vetoed it.
"Eh?" Saionji Sekai looked at Chu Hui with scorn. With such low emotional intelligence, it was no wonder he didn't have a girlfriend.
Chu Hui couldn't be bothered to explain and said: "I'm going to Katsura's house this weekend; I don't have time to go see a movie."
Saionji Sekai said: "Dummy, you don't necessarily have to go out. Kotonoha's family is wealthy; don't rich people usually have private cinemas?"
A private cinema? Chu Hui didn't remember this being mentioned in the anime, but it was highly likely, given that they were a wealthy family.
When the time comes, he'd just use the excuse that Katsura Kokoro was too young to get rid of that third wheel.
Not all horror movies were unsuitable. As long as it wasn't too gory, if a slightly scary movie scared Katsura Kotonoha, he could take the opportunity to do something...
Thinking of this, Chu Hui pointed to a small grove of trees not far away and said to Sekai: "Then let's imitate the scene for that day."
Saionji Sekai didn't understand what Chu Hui was planning, but she had no choice but to follow him into the small grove.
The woods were very dark, without a glimmer of light. The further in they went, the quieter it became, and the chirping of insects was clearly audible. It was indeed a good place for doing bad things.
Saionji Sekai suddenly felt some regret. Why had she come here with Chu Hui? If Chu Hui were to suddenly succumb to his animal instincts, wouldn't she be in danger of losing her virginity?
Would he suddenly grab her hand, pin her against a big tree, kissing and groping her, violating her violently? It sounded so exciting... Ah no, that's degenerate!
Saionji Sekai hurriedly kept a vigilant eye on this degenerate, Chu Hui, intending to run away the moment he showed any suspicious expressions. But when she turned around, the darkness around her was like a blob of ink; where could she see Chu Hui's figure?
Saionji Sekai thought Chu Hui was trying to scare her, so she puffed out her cheeks and shouted: "I'm angry!"
Only dead silence responded to her.
Saionji Sekai felt something was wrong and shouted loudly: "If you don't come out, I'm leaving!"
Still, there was only dead silence.
Saionji turned and left, preparing to head back, but she discovered a problem: when Chu Hui brought her in just now, he had led her in circles. Now that it was so dark, she couldn't find the way back!
Saionji Sekai panicked a little. At this moment, she heard a rustling sound around her.
"What is that?!"
She was startled; it turned out that the branches all around were rustling. This sound was continuous and rhythmic, definitely not caused by the wind; it could only be caused by someone shaking them. And since Chu Hui was only one person, he couldn't possibly achieve that.
The rustling sound seemed to become more and more intense. A pair of green eyes appeared in the darkness, peering at her, the low growl emitting from them carrying a trace of wildness.
Saionji Sekai's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground. She stared fixedly at the wolf-like creature constantly approaching her, her pretty face deathly pale.
Suddenly, Saionji Sekai let out a terrified scream and ran blindly, because she saw that strange thing pouncing on her. However, no matter how fast she ran, the thing behind her was always hot on her heels.
Saionji Sekai's heart was shrouded in immense fear. Then, she accidentally kicked a branch and almost fell. Fortunately, she steadied herself against a tree. Looking back, she discovered something pouncing toward her face, with claws flashing with a faint cold light extended.
A look of despair appeared on Saionji Sekai's face.
Just at this moment, a foot extended from the darkness and kicked the unidentified creature in mid-air.
"Awoooo..."
The unidentified creature let out a cry of pain, landed, and ran off into the distance.
Only then did Saionji Sekai come to her senses. She raised her head and stared blankly at the figure that had suddenly appeared beside her. Moonlight spilled down from a gap in the branches above, illuminating Chu Hui's handsome face. His tall, upright posture was like a mountain peak, and at this moment, his face was full of concern.
"Are you okay?" Chu Hui looked at Saionji Sekai with concern. Just as he took a step forward, he was tackled into an embrace by a soft body.
Chu Hui was slightly taken aback.
Saionji Sekai held him tightly, burying her face in his chest. Gradually, his chest became wet; the moisture seeped through his clothes and onto his skin, feeling warm. Vaguely, he could also hear Sekai's suppressed sobbing.
"Uh, crying?" Chu Hui was a bit at a loss. Even if he tried so hard to be a scumbag just to survive, until recently, he was just an ordinary otaku. To have a young, beautiful high school student crying in his arms, and because of him, was something Chu Hui couldn't handle calmly.
After thinking about it, Chu Hui felt he should apologize first, so he said: "Sorry, I was just joking with you. That was a teddy dog just now; it chased you because it got excited when it saw a woman. Don't worry, I scared it away."
The sobbing suddenly stopped, and then Chu Hui felt his chest get punched hard, only then did the crying sound again.
"Fine, if this can make you vent your anger, then hit me a few more times." Chu Hui sighed.
Then his chest was punched again, and this time, it kept punching non-stop.
"It's starting to hurt a little." Chu Hui sighed.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Chu Hui's face darkened: "Are you playing the drums?"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Hey, hey, how are you punching out explosion sounds?"
Chu Hui was very surprised, but he felt the girl raise her head, tip-toe slightly, bring her tear-stained pretty face close, and press her moist lips against his.
