My Dating Development Has Major Problems

Chapter 18 I've liked you for a long time

"Showerhead, there's a park nearby, how about we have lunch there?"

Holding the basket in both hands, Akino Sakura looked at him expectantly and asked for his opinion.

"Okay, let's go to the park then! But we need to choose a quiet place, since some of the kids are too noisy and I'm afraid they'll disturb Akizakura-senpai."

Ruyue Yulu spoke gently, with an expression that showed she was thinking of her.

Actually, it was so that I could be alone with her.

"Okay, then let's do as the showerhead says!"

Sakura Akino smiled and agreed.

Although it would be better to go to a crowded place, today's date was destined to be kept secret, and she didn't want to expose it to anyone else.

She walked along the path and arrived at the park.

The noisy atmosphere made Ruyue Yulu frown. Most of the people who came to the park were children, and their chattering was so loud it hurt people's ears.

So Ruyue Yulu observed the surroundings for a moment, then came to the foot of a large tree and pointed to the green grass there, saying:

"How about here? No naughty kids to bother us, away from the noise, and there's a tree to block out the sun."

"Okay, let's do it here."

Akino Sakura smiled gently, gracefully took a soft cushion from the basket, and laid it on the grass under the tree.

Then, she bent her slender legs, knelt on the cushion, and naturally took out her prepared lunch from the basket.

She makes all kinds of sandwiches.

It looks delicious.

Asuka Yuru plopped down on the cushion, looking at her expectantly.

Akino Sakura smiled gently, took out a sandwich and handed it to him, "Here, the showerhead, give it a try."

"Thank you, you're welcome!"

Asuka Yuru took the food and began to feast.

I must say, Senior Qiuying's cooking skills are really good.

Unfortunately, her true intentions were not what they seemed. If she thought that a meal and a little hand-holding would make him her tool, she would be sorely mistaken!

"How is it?"

Seeing that he had started eating, Akino Sakura couldn't help but nervously watch Kisaragi Amuro with her big eyes.

That look in her eyes, tinged with a hint of unease, could evoke a man's protective instincts.

Kisaragi Rain gives a thumbs up!

"It's absolutely delicious! I'd be so happy if I could eat it every day!"

"Hehe... I'm glad you like it. Consider this a reward for the showerhead's help to me in the student council. Don't be shy, eat as much as you like!"

As always, Akino Sakura sent him gentle signals, and her tone was incredibly charming and easygoing.

Ruyue Yulu naturally didn't stand on ceremony, leaving her two sandwiches while he ate the rest.

Sakura Akino thoughtfully offered him a drink.

She really does look like a virtuous wife and loving mother, which makes one's appetite increase.

Of course, knowing her purpose, Ruyue Yulu just wanted to get something for free.

Giving is impossible.

It's just being gentle, anyone can do that!

I can talk the talk but not walk the walk, and we'll see who suffers in the end!

After accepting the drink and thanking her, Ruyue Yulu took a sip with relish.

Sakura Akino ate in small bites, kneeling opposite him. Her fair knees and long, white legs attracted his attention.

After resolving the lunch issue and resting for a while, Akino Sakura began tidying up the cushions, neatly folding them and putting them into the basket.

"Showerhead, let's go. We still have time. Let's go shopping together. We didn't get enough shopping this morning."

"OK."

As gentle as the moon and as dewy as rain, they would naturally not refuse.

She bought him a phone case in the morning, but didn't buy much for herself, so there was no harm in browsing around some more.

Back at the mall, Akino Sakura led him into a clothing store and they started picking out clothes.

She picked up a shirt with a clown frog print and held it up to herself. "What do you think? Isn't this interesting?"

"Yes, it would suit Akizakura-senpai perfectly. Why don't we buy it?"

"Hehe, the design is so interesting, so I bought it!"

After walking around for about two hours, Akino Sakura was still a little reluctant to leave.

If it were the old Ruyue Yulu, she would have collapsed from exhaustion by now.

But now his physique has been enhanced to the level of a genius light novel protagonist, the kind of physique known as "Brother Lu," so this amount of exercise is nothing to him.

After leaving the mall, the two strolled along the street.

Before I knew it, I had passed by the park.

As the sun set, there happened to be a bench by the roadside.

Sakura Akino felt it was time.

So she hesitated before saying to Ruyue Yulu, "Um... Showerhead, actually, there's something I wanted to tell you when I asked you out today!"

"There's a bench over there, let's sit down first."

"Great! I actually had something I wanted to convey that message to, so I'll go over and have a seat!"

Ruyue smiled and responded calmly, showing no sign of nervousness.

Sakura Akino was somewhat surprised, as if she realized something, but the die was cast.

If she doesn't seize this opportunity to make her request now, she'll miss out on such a great chance.

She had no way to contact Oga-kun on her own; she could only rely on the shower, Oga-kun's close friend, to help her make the connection.

The two sat on the bench, quite close to each other.

Sakura Akino used some kind of high-end shampoo, and her body smelled incredibly alluring.

A gentle breeze carried the delicate fragrance of a young girl, making Ruyue Yulu's heart flutter.

But he quickly regained his composure.

Despite the ambiguous atmosphere, he knew the real show was about to begin!

This woman will ultimately break his heart; she wants him to hide his feelings for her and help her be with other men.

This is absolutely inhuman!

Taking a deep breath, Akino Sakura blushed and leaned closer to him.

She twirled a lock of her hair in her small, slender hands, a shy expression on her face.

"Um... showerhead, listen to me, what I'm about to say might bother or offend you..."

"But...I like it..."

"I've liked you for a long time too, Akizakura-senpai!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ruyue Yulu suddenly grabbed her small hand and gazed at her affectionately.

"Huh?!!"

Akino Sakura's eyes widened, her face full of astonishment.

Of course, she wasn't surprised that the showerhead liked her, since she actually knew how he felt about her.

If he didn't like her, why would he always be the first to come to the student council, always quietly helping her with her work as the secretary, giving her any support he could?

She was surprised that he confessed his feelings before she could finish speaking!

Ruyue Yulu held her soft little hand and, before she could react, continued to express her feelings.

"Senior Akizakura, I've liked you ever since... oh, I should say from the very first moment I saw you!"

"When my senior invited me yesterday, I was so happy I almost couldn't sleep all night. So, since Senior Qiuying was so kind to me, she must like me too, right?"

"How about we start dating right now?"

"Well, since we're going to date, how about we officially confirm our relationship with a kiss? If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes!"

As she spoke, Ruyue Yulu pouted and slowly moved closer to her pink lips, looking as if she was eager to kiss her.

Sakura Akino finally realized what was happening.

"Ah! No way, showerhead, don't do that!"

Startled awake, she pushed him away with her eyes closed and stood up, her full chest heaving with anger.

Asuka Yuru was pushed to the ground by her, staring at her in astonishment.

"Senior Akizakura, what do you mean by this?"

"I... Hmph, Showerhead, you're bullying me! I have no intention of dating you! I have someone I like, and that person is your best friend, Taiyo Oga!"

Sakura Akino clenched her fist and spoke loudly, but she immediately felt a little guilty after she finished speaking.

She noticed that the showerhead looked as if it had been struck by lightning, and its eyes had become vacant.
