Soon after, Nibutani and Ikenouchi Maki also arrived at Club, and as soon as Rikka saw Nibutani, she didn't bother playing with Totsuka anymore and dragged Nibutani away... leaving Ikenouchi Maki behind.
"Where did they go...?"
"Who knows? Probably to ask Nibutani how to get closer to you."
Fang Wuwei's surprising words startled Yuta, who was beside him, and he waved his hand, his face slightly red.
"No, no, no, how could that be? Rikka is... ah... how should I put it...?"
Looking at the somewhat flustered Yuta beside him, Fang Wuwei, frustrated, slapped him on the shoulder, producing a very loud thud, making him gasp for a large mouthful of cold air... Was he serious? It hurt so much!
"Oh, oh, Brilliant Gale! Are you also here to explore the Hot Boundary, death!"
"Nani, it's the legendary Hot Boundary that makes people fall! Let me explore it too..."
After Rikka left, Totsuka was still a bit lonely, but seeing Ikenouchi Maki, she immediately got excited again... Soon, the two also started playing happily, leaving Fang Wuwei speechless... You're actually a real transcendent, yet you're still obsessed with chuunibyou?
"I say, do you really have no thoughts? Christmas?"
"Christmas, huh...?"
Hearing Fang Wuwei's words, Yuta also fell into contemplation... Rikka had left, so he could now express his thoughts.
"I wanted to go with Rikka... but..." Yuta glanced at Isshiki Makoto, who had fainted on the side, "Isshiki said he was having a Christmas party, and I thought that was good too, and..."
"That's easy to say."
Fang Wuwei tapped the table, then turned to rummage through his backpack, and soon pulled out a red and white magazine, a Christmas special edition, the same as Rikka's; Fang Wuwei had bought one too.
Don't ask him why he bought it; just say he bought it to help Yuta strategize...
"Take a look; there are some good suggestions in there for couples, Christmas parties, and so on... It's quite suitable for you."
"Is that so?"
Yuta didn't stand on ceremony, taking it and starting to read. The Christmas special edition indeed had many good ideas, but most were for adults... like turkey parties, red wine recommendations, hotel rooms... What the hell was the last one?
Oh, this luxurious Christmas yacht for one night is a bit interesting... Wow, the tickets are so expensive!
However, Rikka would probably like it... but for his wallet...
Fang Wuwei watched Yuta's gaze linger on the luxurious Christmas yacht page for a long time, naturally understanding what Yuta was thinking. After all, something of such significance would really appeal to people like Rikka and Yuta.
With a slight smile, Fang Wuwei took something from his backpack behind him, then placed his hand on the magazine, blocking Yuta's view.
"Wuwei, this... Rikka will like it, but..."
"I understand, the boat tickets, right?"
Yuta nodded, but in fact, he wasn't without options... His father would be home for Christmas, and he could ask him for some money then; buying two boat tickets wouldn't be a big deal.
But the next moment, Fang Wuwei's actions exceeded his expectations... His hand, which was on the magazine, suddenly withdrew, and with a flick of his fingers, several red and green papers appeared in his hand, right before Yuta's eyes. Looking closely, Yuta realized these were indeed the tickets for that luxurious Christmas yacht! For Christmas Eve!
"Of course, you have to grab these things early~ I understand~"
Fang Wuwei chuckled and collected the tickets, showing them off in front of Yuta.
Then, under Yuta's astonished gaze, Fang Wuwei pulled out two and handed them to Yuta.
"! Wuwei?!"
"Relax~ I bought these for you~ What if you couldn't get them?"
Yuta was somewhat touched, but more than that, he was worried... He understood Wuwei's family situation; he was alone, and probably usually scrimped and saved, or else why would he come to his house to eat every other day...? These two tickets weren't cheap, and Wuwei was already...
"No, no, no, this... it's too valuable."
"What do you mean, it's not expensive?" Fang Wuwei picked up the magazine and glanced at the price, his face full of confusion, uttering the ultimate Versailles confusion: "Where is it expensive?"
"This [bleep] isn't expensive?! Wuwei, you can't just live off your inheritance now?! What your aunt and uncle left will eventually run out! You usually live frugally, so how can I accept something so valuable from you? It's still not too late to return them now..."
Looking at Yuta, who had his hand on his shoulder and seemed to be earnestly advising him, Fang Wuwei was stunned. It took him a while to recall... Ah, I'm currently an unemployed orphan, aren't I?
"Relax, Yuta, I found a job a while ago. I have tons of free time and super high pay!"
To be honest... After getting the system, he never lacked money. The points he got from daily sign-ins were converted into money without a hint of regret. If he converted a random mission's rewards into money, it would be hundreds of millions. He truly had no concept of money now...
But Yuta didn't think so, his face full of disbelief, until he suddenly remembered the super cool modified motorcycle at Fang Wuwei's house, and the many high-tech products he had taken out before that Yuta had never even seen...
"Alright, alright... We're brothers, don't be so clear-cut. If you really want to thank me, then hurry up and marry Rikka!"
Fang Wuwei said, stuffing the two boat tickets into Yuta's hand, a bit fawning.
Yuta still wanted to decline, but then he saw the two tickets Fang Wuwei was holding in his hand... two, Fang Wuwei kept two for himself, plus Fang Wuwei's somewhat overly eager attitude now...
Yuta's face instantly darkened.
...............
On the other side, Rikka, who had dragged Nibutani out, was indeed discussing with Nibutani how to spend Christmas, just as Fang Wuwei had said.
How to spend it wasn't important; what was important was how to get closer to Yuta on Christmas.
After telling Nibutani everything that had happened recently, Nibutani also had a headache... These two, one was a blockhead, and the other was a shy child.
In other words, one was a Wall-nut, and the other was a Fume-shroom, useless at everything.
These two had been dating for several months, and there had been no change at all...
"Although there has been no progress, our contract remains as firm as ever, so it's perfectly fine even if daily life doesn't change at all."
"Then what exactly do you want to do?"
Nibutani was a bit helpless... It was understandable to be shy when facing Yuta, but why come to me, the strategist, and still insist on pretending not to care?
"But... but, generally speaking, when there's such a contractual relationship, on a day like Christmas, people usually go out of their way to do something like a ritual, right?"
"You want to do it too?"
Rikka looked at the bright sunlight outside the window, stretched out her hand, and struck a chuunibyou pose to embrace the sunlight.
"I am a being with a chasm separating me from ordinary people, let alone a celebration of infidels..."
Nibutani couldn't listen anymore and turned to leave.
So troublesome...
Rikka, seeing this, her ahoge drooped, and she quickly rushed up and tugged on Nibutani's skirt.
"Don't go... o(╥﹏╥)o"
"Idiot! Don't pull my skirt! It's... it's going to fall off! Alright! Let go first~~"
