After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

Nearly half of the Test of Courage conference had passed. Those who wanted to participate must have already entered the venue. Those who remained on the periphery must have their own plans and would not gather here. Therefore, the two did not meet anyone along the way.

This was of course a good thing for Natsukawa Kanade. After all, as long as he didn't run into anyone who had seen him and Kaguya playing games together, he wouldn't be seen with Eriri again and cause any unnecessary misunderstandings - such as misunderstandings that he was two-timing or a master of time management...

——So he really accepted the invitation as a friend!

Another thing is... there are already so many scandals about him, and I really don’t want to add any more weird rumors.

Of course, Natsukawa Kanade himself knew that he could not blame others for these things, because a large part of those scandals were caused by his own actions.

"This is the entrance to the special venue." Natsukawa Kanade said gently, explaining to Eriri who was looking around curiously.

"If the team is arranged according to the list, they will enter from another entrance in the square. This entrance is specially provided for students who use the 'right of independent choice'."

"Oh, so that's how it is..." Eriri nodded thoughtfully.

Natsukawa Kanade blinked and looked at the well-behaved golden retriever in front of him. Suddenly, he felt a strange feeling in his heart - why did Eriri look a little lost? What happened?

"what happened?"

"Nothing..." Eriri shook her head, then suddenly grabbed Natsukawa Kanade's hand and urged, "Anyway, let's go in quickly..."

Of course she would not reveal her current thoughts——

Because she didn't see anyone along the way, and she was in a state where she was prone to daydreaming, and with the blessing of her long-term identity as a comic artist...she began to suspect that the other party was not taking her to a test of courage, but was planning to go to some small woods for a private meeting!

Of course, she would definitely refuse with a righteous word! How could you skip so many steps and do something like that?! At least... at least you should start by confessing your feelings to each other!

I didn't expect that she completely misunderstood... She's right, Zou is not that kind of person!

She really believed in him.

"Huh?" Xiachuan Zou was still a little confused.

He felt that Eriri seemed even more anxious than he was.

"No need to rush, we will definitely make it in time..." Xiachuan Kanade wanted to hold back the reckless little golden retriever, but his previous experience had almost exhausted all his physical strength, and now he couldn't even control the weak Eriri.

He was even pulled over by the power on her side.

"!" Xia Chuan suddenly felt bad.

Sure enough, the next second one of them lost his balance and fell forward.

When Eriri heard the strange noise behind her and turned around to say something, she found a face approaching her and she couldn't take her eyes off it.

"...!!!"

She was unable to react at all, and didn't even have time to scream, before Natsukawa Zou knocked her to the ground.

"It hurts, it hurts..." The little golden retriever cried out in pain, frowning. He felt like his whole butt was about to break into pieces. He fell so badly.

However, despite the continuous stimulation coming from the part that was in close contact with the ground, she still could not forget the "culprit" who brought her this shock.

"Zou..." Just when Eriri was about to ask what happened, she saw Natsukawa Zou struggling to support himself above her, his hands shaking constantly and beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Zou, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Ying Lili became anxious.

She knew a lot about this guy. In this situation, he should have started to act cool and care about her a long time ago, but the weak look he showed now clearly showed that he was the one who needed care!

So the little golden retriever endured the pain coming from behind, helped the other person lie down, then struggled to get up, and then helped Xia Chuan Zou stand up.

The idea was good, but she overestimated her own power.

Without the cooperation of the other party, let alone helping Xia Chuan to play, she herself was dragged down again.

"Well……"

As if things didn't get worse, Natsukawa Kanade, who was originally planning to just lie on the grass and take a rest, was suddenly hit in the stomach by a rocket headbutt.

The impact was so great that he almost vomited out the barbecue rice he had eaten at noon.

"!!!" The little golden retriever was also startled, and then quickly climbed up on the grass with his hands.

Although her head also suffered an impact, it didn't hurt at all with Natsukawa Kanade as a cushion. At most, she felt dizzy for a moment. Now that she had come to her senses, she kept apologizing.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean it!" The little golden retriever was almost crying.

She obviously wanted to help, so why did she look more miserable the more she helped?

Just when she began to blame herself and didn't know what to do, Xiachuan Kanade seemed to see through her thoughts and suddenly said: "I don't blame you, I was a little exhausted and didn't help you stand up..."

"..."

"Don't worry, you don't have to do anything. Just let me lie down and rest for a while." Xiachuan Kanade comforted.

He still overestimates himself a little.

I thought I could keep going if I could just walk normally, but now it's clear that I can't even match Eriri's strength!

Roughly speaking...he is now probably only capable of 0.5 of Eriri's combat power. The key point is that these are the data after he had a rest. The actual situation may be even worse.

Still too weak, needs more training! Xia Chuan Kanade thought.

The little golden retriever beside her naturally had no idea what Xiachuan Zou was thinking. At this moment, she was still in a state of self-blame -

If only she could be more motivated! Why is she so weak? She's even weaker than a hamster!

But it's no use just blaming herself, she still wants to do something to make up for her mistake.

But Zou also said that he didn't need her to do anything, he just needed to lie down and rest for a while, and she'd better not disturb him...

No! She couldn't just sit there and do nothing! At least... at least she could do this one thing!

After making up her mind, the little golden retriever cheered up, stood up and brushed the dust off her skirt, then sat down next to Natsukawa Kanade's head with three parts of determination, three parts of guilt - and ninety-six parts of shyness.

"Yinglili?" Xia Chuanzou's eyes were full of confusion.

"..."

After ignoring the other party's inquiring words, the little golden retriever, with a fearless expression, resolutely lifted the other party's head onto her legs.

I did it... I did it! Eriri shouted in her heart.

What, what! It's not that difficult to use a knee pillow?! Look at her, she did it so easily!

Now, even if that arrogant woman Kasumigaoka said something provocative in front of her like "I have done very intimate things with my juniors a long time ago~", she would not be shaken at all - because she has done even more intimate things!

This is a knee pillow! You have never done this, right?!

“Guhehe…”

"...?"

168. Prosperity? Prosperity!

Eriri's figure is very slender, and one could even say that she looks skinny, but in fact, the feeling coming from her thighs is not that of bony. On the contrary, it can be said that the part that touches the head feels very warm and soft, as comfortable as if I were resting my head on a ball of soft cotton...

In short, it feels great!

So Xiachuan Zou couldn't help but move slightly and found the most comfortable position for his pillow.

"..."

"I, this is my first time...will it be uncomfortable..."

Ying Lili was caught off guard. It was clearly her who brought it up, but now she couldn't let go. Not only were her movements very stiff, she didn't know where to put her hands, and there was an uneasy expression on her face.

Die, die, die!

I just did it because I was obsessed with it! I didn't even think about whether he was willing or not!

But she didn't know what to do after that. Should she massage his eyes? Or would rubbing his shoulders be more comfortable? But she didn't know how to do either... So could she just keep doing this?

Mmmmm…

Ying Lili suddenly began to feel that she had too few skills. If she had known this day would come, she should have learned more household skills from her mother.

Of course, it was too late to regret now. Instead, she should focus on thinking about what to do next. If she suddenly treated Zou so harshly, would he be angry? Or even...would he think she was a frivolous girl? But this was really the first time she did this to someone else!

Even before hearing the other party's feedback, the little golden retriever has already started to feel sorry for himself.

But there's really nothing that can be done about it, because she's such an unconfident person right now.

Especially when she found out that she had so many powerful rivals in love, the little psychological comfort that remained in her heart because she had been liked by the other party suddenly disappeared without a trace.

After all, those rivals have good figures and are very cute and pretty... the key is that even their personalities (except that fat woman!) are much easier to get along with than hers. How could she possibly compare?

There is absolutely no way to win!

So she had to take the initiative, even take some risks, and look forward to using some actions to convey her feelings to the other party...

"Would you like me to give you a massage, Kanade?"

"Well... I'll leave it to you then, Eriri." Natsukawa Kanade instinctively wanted to nod in response to her, but suddenly remembered that he was still resting his head on her thighs, so he stopped moving.

"Okay, okay... Then I'll start..." Eriri nodded with a blush.

Who said that providing a lap pillow would bring you closer to the person you like? That's a lie! He didn't seem to be shaken at all!

Instead, her heart was shaken...

Although he had only moved slightly, she felt that the place where they were in contact was gradually heating up. Not only that, her heart was also itching, and a terrible idea gradually emerged in her mind...

Dear...can you please stick it on for a moment?

Of course she knew that this was a crazy act, but once the idea came to her, she could no longer suppress it.

What's even more coincidental is that, maybe it's because of her natural talent, but just by casually glancing at her, she stole the massage techniques and made him squint his eyes in comfort... Doesn't this mean it's completely impossible for him to notice her little movements?

What a God-sent opportunity!

Eriri suddenly realized that this might be his only good chance, so her heart started beating wildly, as if a wild boar was ramming into her heart. She signaled, "Hurry up, Eriri, what's the use of saving face? Of course, being a man is the most important! Go ahead, idiot!"

She couldn't stand the noise any more, so she had no choice but to listen to it... So - with Zou's gentle personality, he must be able to understand her difficulties, right?

Well, anyway, she just couldn't wait any longer, but she couldn't just kiss him directly... If she got close to him, she would look like a nympho, so of course she had to go slowly.

But it would be best if it could turn out like this - make Zou mistakenly think that it happened accidentally, but in fact she did it on purpose, and then she could act very shy but not resistant, and it would even be best if this could make Zou take the initiative... Hmm!

Could it really turn out to be that...that kind of situation?

Eriri suddenly remembered the gossip she had heard in the past few days. It was about something like this... There had been similar incidents before, where a couple went to a secret place to meet during a courage contest and were accidentally spotted by a lost passerby...

So they should find a more secret place...

Then, as she was thinking about it, Eriri's head began to heat up, and her whole body became terribly hot and stuffy, and she felt like she had turned into the steam princess commonly seen in comics.

What the hell is she thinking about? Too shameless, isn't she?

After all, they should become a couple first, right? ! Please follow the steps! After all, this is not the world in her book! ! !

"..."

"Is it over, Eriri?" Seeing that the other party didn't move anymore, Natsukawa Kanade thought that she was feeling a little tired, so he took the initiative to come to the rescue.

After all, Eriri is a poor and weak homegirl, so he understands.

However, the facts were not what he thought, and the truth was even far beyond his understanding.

"No, no... I'm not thinking about anything... No! I'm not thinking about anything!" Ying Lili said loudly.

People with guilty consciences are always like this. They are afraid of having their thoughts discovered, so they want to cover them up with loud noises.

"...Ah?" Xiachuan Zou was a little confused and expressed that he couldn't understand.

"No! Ah! It's okay, I didn't say anything..." The little golden retriever finally came to his senses.

"I, I... let me massage your eyes again? Your eyes must be dry after working for so long!... Anyway, close your eyes quickly!!!" Ying Lili suddenly urged.

"Uh... okay." Xia Chuan Zou didn't understand, but seeing that she looked so anxious, he had no choice but to obey.
