After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

"Mmmmm…" A muffled sound came from under the quilt.

Xiachuan Zou was immediately confused, thinking that the other party did not hear what he said clearly, so he simply reached out and lifted up the quilt.

"No!" Shiina Mahiru exclaimed, and at the same time reached out to grab the quilt back, but unfortunately she was a step too late.

So in Natsukawa Kanade's perspective, Miss Angel was like a bad kid who loved to play pranks. After the quilt was lifted, she actually started to act coquettishly and asked for a hug.

Xia Chuan Kanade blinked, then chuckled and said, "Do you want me to help you get up?"

When she's at home, Mahiru would be in this state when he wakes her up from dozing off on the sofa. She would look at him with dazed eyes and stretch out her hands. Her dazed look was really adorable.

"No, don't look at me..." Miss Angel's eyes were hazy, as if there was mist in them.

The weather had warmed up, and even wearing a summer uniform she would still feel a little hot occasionally. It was noon now, and she was sweating a little from being stuck in the bed. But that was not a big deal. The most important thing was what happened just now - she hid in the bed because of nervousness, and her whole body was enveloped by the smell of music, and for a moment she became a little distracted.

In short, the summary is - the angel who always looked pure and lovely now looks delicious and charming.

It makes people's mouth water.

This is not good, Xiachuan Zou thought, especially since this happened in the boys' dormitory, which would inevitably make people think too much.

"Well, then...get up by yourself..." Xia Chuan Zou quickly stood up, then took a deep breath, slightly bent his body, and walked towards the bathroom, "I, I'll go wash up first..."

He needs to... calm down a little.

195. Taste the heart of Mahiru...

After Natsukawa Kanade came out of the bathroom, Shiina Mahiru seemed to have returned to her original dignified appearance, but her face was still a little red, which was very cute.

"I'm ready, let's go to the cafeteria?" Xiachuan Zou suggested.

Shiina Mahiru looked hesitant: "But, we might bump into other people on the way..."

She was naturally a little hesitant. After all, this was in the boys' dormitory. She originally thought that no one would go back to their dormitory during lunch break, and it would be too troublesome to run around. As a result, she just ran into one, and now she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

It would be bad if someone saw them. It would be fine for her to come by herself, and it wouldn't matter if someone discovered her. But if she was seen walking with Zou, maybe there would be rumors that were not good for him, right?

She naturally hopes to be with the other person, and the closer the better in the eyes of others, but she does not agree that they are forced into a relationship due to any gossip or rumors, because what she yearns for is a more genuine and heartfelt love.

But the most important thing is——

"Right, right here... Let's eat together..." Shiina Mahiru said weakly. She had her own little thoughts, but if she went to the cafeteria, wouldn't her plan be ruined?

"Then it's up to you." Xia Chuan Zou didn't think too much about it, nor did he notice the word "together" that the other party said. After all, the lunch box in his hand looked like it was only enough for one person.

However, after opening it, I was surprised: "So full?"

Normally, the lunch box would be at most two-thirds full, but today's portion was exceptionally large, so much so that it was completely filled. As a result, a lot of sauce stuck to the opened lid, and the entire rice portion was also sticky beyond recognition, and one could only vaguely see that it looked like a pattern.

"Ah, it's all messed up..." Shiina Mahiru couldn't help feeling frustrated. This was the first time she mustered up the courage to draw a pattern on the lunch box. Although she originally wanted to get away with it by saying that "the lunch box wasn't made by herself", the pattern was now completely messed up, making the lunch box look like it was crudely made.

Even if she didn't do it herself, it still looks very indecent!

"It's okay, it's fine if they are mixed together. You have to eat it anyway." Xiachuan Zou comforted, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a cuttlefish sausage and stuffed it into his mouth.

The taste is not bad, but I always feel that it is a little different from the bento I usually eat, and the taste is a little lighter.

"Did you do this?" Xiachuan Zou asked doubtfully.

Shiina Mahiru shook her head and said, "Of course not. I don't have the time to make lunch."

The facilities here are not as convenient as those at home, not to mention that the lunch break is only an hour long. How can I have the time to make a lunch box by myself and bring it over?

"Uh..." Xia Chuan Kanade recalled his situation, and then suddenly realized something, "What about you? Have you had lunch?"

"Not yet." Shiina Mahiru shook her head again.

"..."

It’s true, Natsukawa Zou thought.

Mahiru was still too concerned about him, and she was so anxious to bring him lunch even though she hadn't even had lunch yet.

"Let's go to the cafeteria. We can't let you go hungry all the time." Xia Chuan Kanade frowned and said, "It's a good idea for us to eat together in the cafeteria."

"No, no thanks!" Shiina Mahiru quickly waved her hand and refused, "Besides, the lunch box has already been opened! If we go to the cafeteria, it might get cold. Eating cold food is not good for the stomach..."

Of course it was nice to have dinner with Zou, and in the spotlight, but she obviously wanted a different kind of treatment.

"Yes, if you really feel bad... then..."

"At once?"

"Just...feed me a little." Shiina Mahiru said with all her courage.

She finally said it out loud. This was her ultimate goal, and she even only brought a pair of chopsticks for this purpose.

"Uh..." Xia Chuan Zou was stunned, and then a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

He looked carefully at the chopsticks in his hand that he had just used, and suddenly fell into hesitation.

"If... you don't mind..."

He thought it would be better to wash the chopsticks first and let the other person use them first, but since Mahiru had said so, if he refused again, wouldn't it seem like he cared too much? It would be bad if he was misunderstood as disliking her.

"So……"

Carefully picked up a piece of fried meatball and handed it to Miss Angel's mouth.

"what--"

"..." Shiina Mahiru's delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes seemed to become misty again.

So she quickly closed her eyes and said, "Ah——"

"Ah," he gently bit the food that was handed to his mouth. After swallowing it, he stretched out his small tongue and licked the oil stains at the corner of his lips.

Then he reacted and uttered an embarrassed cry: "Guuuu..."

"..." Xiachuan Zou's mood finally became more subtle, and then he picked up another side dish without hesitation.

"Another one?"

"Hmm..." Miss Angel lowered her head slightly and made an inaudible sound.

"..."

"..."

After repeating this for a while, Miss Angel finally got used to it. Her face wasn't so red anymore, and she dared to raise her head slightly and look directly at the other person. However, what she saw was Xia Chuan Kanade, who looked very interested and looked at her expectantly.

"!"

She finally couldn't help it. She felt like her brain suddenly lost control and she became at a loss.

"I, I...I'll go back first!"

She couldn't stay there any longer, and she knew very well in her heart that if she continued like this, no one knew what would happen. But she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of the person she loved.

So he ran out as if escaping.

"Ah..." Xia Chuan Zou subconsciously stretched out his hand, but still failed to hold her.

"Run away..." he muttered.

Looking at the lunch box in his hand, he suddenly felt that he was not so hungry anymore. However, after staring at the chopsticks in his hand for a few more times, he felt that he was very hungry, so he picked up another cuttlefish sausage and stuffed it into his mouth without much hesitation.

It's obviously the same thing, but now it tastes like there's a barely detectable sweetness that's really addictive.

Then, he began to taste it bite by bite.

"..."

It tastes really good. I wonder when I will get to taste it next time.

There was a hint of anticipation in Natsukawa Kanade's heart.

It's hard to stretch in every sense.jpg

196. Meet a Senior by Chance (Don’t order, literally)

Naturally, Natsukawa Zou did not miss the outdoor class in the afternoon.

When he arrived at the classroom, many people greeted him. Occasionally, a few active people asked him about last night's test of courage, but he just smiled and perfunctorily answered them.

Because he was concerned about what happened at noon, Xia Chuan Zou consciously began to search for Miss Angel. Unexpectedly, the other party had been avoiding him. They even bumped into each other several times. However, she ignored his eye hints under the pretext of chatting with the people next to her.

After seeing this situation, Xiachuan Zou could only sigh helplessly and chose not to disturb her anymore, giving each other some time to calm down.

Of course the most important reason is that after today, the forest school activities that have lasted for nearly a week will be completely over. They will embark on the journey home, and then it will be a relaxing weekend. As neighbors, they have a close relationship of one kind or another. Even if Miss Angel wants to hide, she can't hide anywhere.

As expected, the afternoon classes ended quickly, and students from the entire grade returned to Xiuzhiyuan one after another on the bus. Then, after the grade director gave his remarks, they dispersed and set out on the journey home in groups or alone.

So Natsukawa Kanade simply took out his cell phone and sent an invitation to Shiina Mahiru to go home together, but he didn't expect to receive a rejection reply the next second.

"I'm going out with my friends today. Let's do it together next time!"

"..." Looking at the message in front of him, Xiachuan Zou fell into deep thought.

In order to take care of Mahiru, she didn't want to reveal the idea that they were neighbors, so he rarely invited her to go home with him. But every time he invited her, she would never refuse. Only this time, the rejection was very straightforward, so quick that he couldn't help but start to reflect on whether he had gone too far at noon.

But at noon, Mahiru seemed to be eating happily...

Anyway, he was very happy to feed the baby, because Miss Angel was really super cute and had a small body. When being fed, she looked like a soft and cute squirrel, making people want to hold her in their hands and play with her.

Although it seems like she is "hated" now, Natsukawa Kanade believes that it is just that Mahiru feels a little embarrassed and cannot face him for a while. Maybe it will be fine after some time.

And thinking from another angle, he could totally regard the time when Mahiru was avoiding him as rewarding himself with some alone time. After all, he really hasn't acted alone for a long time. Of course, this sentence doesn't mean that Mahiru is clingy and annoying, it's just that boys, no matter what, need some time to act alone occasionally.

Today - at least tonight is a great opportunity!

First, go to the bookstore! Because he was too busy recently, he missed several new issues of various publications, light novels, comics, and various magazines... Maybe forget about this, after all, he didn't know when Mahiru would check again, and he didn't want to embarrass himself. Besides, magazines are no longer popular now, it's more convenient to use a mobile phone.

The second thing is food. It seems that a lot of new stores have opened around here, and he and Mahiru have basically not eaten out since they reconciled. Now is the perfect time to go check out some stores.

And then there are all kinds of...

Xia Chuan Zou thought about it and felt that there was no point in thinking of a plan at the last minute. It would be better to just take action. After all, it was still early and there were still several hours before dinner. There was no need to start thinking about what to eat in the evening. Perhaps he might get inspired at any time on the way. After figuring this out, he picked up his luggage and bag, went back to his home first, changed into a lighter casual clothes, and went out again.

The school dismissal time in Neon is quite early. Even high school students can usually go home before 4 o'clock. However, most students will choose to join some clubs or something. Or more motivated students will choose to stay in school to study or take various remedial classes. Generally speaking, what kind of life you choose is entirely up to you, and you will also have to bear the consequences yourself.

As for Natsukawa Kanade, ever since he met the "heroines", he has never had the experience of participating in extracurricular activities at such a time, so he felt it was a bit novel at the moment. Until he arrived at the door of the bookstore he used to go to often, his relaxed mood suddenly became melancholy again.

A striking and beautiful girl appeared on the shiny glass window.

A white and smooth forehead, skin as soft as a baby's, a straight and delicate nose, lips as pink as cherry blossoms, a pair of gorgeous wine-red eyes, and a lazy yet cool temperament that keeps people at a distance... Who else could it be but Kasumigaoka Utaha? !

Xia Chuan Zou suddenly sensed a sense of trouble, and then quietly took another step, wanting to leave here quietly while the other party's attention was all focused on the book. Unexpectedly, the next second the other party raised his head as if he sensed something, and then stared at her blankly.

"Uh... hello?" Xia Chuan Zou greeted him reluctantly. He knew that he had been targeted by the hunter and could no longer escape.

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't say anything, but just held her chin with one hand, staring at him with a half-smile, her mouth still silently making mouth shapes:

"Come in, junior~"

"..." So Natsukawa Kanade walked into the store resigned to his fate, picked up a light novel titled "XX Senior, Please Don't Tease Me", and then sat down next to Kasumigaoka Utaha amid the envious looks of the people in the store.

However, after sitting down, the two did not communicate at all. They just flipped through the books in their hands, and their tacit understanding was as if they did not know each other at all.

After a long while, Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath, slowly closed the book, and stretched her body, revealing her proud figure.

However, Natsukawa Kanade didn't react at all, as if all his attention was focused on the book in his hands.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was not annoyed, and even changed her sitting position, leaning sideways with her chin in her hand, so that she could observe him in a more convenient posture.

She was very patient, thinking that since they had bumped into each other by chance, she should at least repay the other party for his cold treatment towards her these days.
