After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

This happened in public, and doing such intimate actions would definitely be misunderstood by others!

We can’t cause any more trouble for Zou!

"Let go, let go."

"No." Xia Chuan Zou shook his head and said firmly, "I will never let go."

He really didn't know what had happened, nor did he know what to do, so he had to keep Shiina, at least to ask her what happened to her suddenly, and he couldn't let her leave in such a depressed mood.

"Why are you suddenly so angry... unhappy? There must be a reason. Is it because of something I did?" He stared at Shiina intently, telling her with his eyes that he was serious.

In his opinion, if it had nothing to do with him, Shiina would definitely be willing to share it with him, so the reason for her unhappiness could only be him, but why?

It can't be that she became like this just because she heard that he was communicating with other girls, right?

"Wait, let's talk about it when we get back. Let me go, someone will see us..." Looking around, she found that someone had already noticed this place, and Shiina Mahiru became even more flustered.

"It has nothing to do with this, right? It's better to say, even if someone sees it, what's the big deal?" Xiachuan Kanade himself was a little angry.

He really regarded Shiina as a good friend, but she always seemed ashamed to reveal their relationship.

"I understand that you don't want others to know that we live next door to each other, but can't we just have some normal interactions at school? There's no way this level of interaction could be misunderstood!"

"..."

I've been misunderstood! Shiina Mahiru thought.

This intimate interaction between the two of them can't be called "normal communication" at all!

Normally she was always very careful, trying not to get exposed, but that idiot Kanade didn't seem to notice this at all, so she was completely exposed!

"Anyway, I will tell you anyway, just let me go first."

"No, you tell me what's wrong first." Xia Chuanzou's stubborn temper also came up. He had come this far and could not give up halfway no matter what.

Maybe doing this will indeed make Shiina unhappy, but I can apologize for what happens later. Now I should focus on the present.

"..."

So Shiina Mahiru took a deep breath and glared at him fiercely. Seeing that he was still unmoved and pretended not to see it, she had no choice but to turn her head away and said unhappily:

"You are so gentle to other girls, but so tough to me. Just go with your friends. Why are you bothering me..."

Anyway, it was Zou who asked her to say it, so even if he was really angry after she said it, she didn't care... She didn't care!

"Uh...it's just this..."

"Just?" Shiina looked at him.

"No, I mean... it's just... because he takes good care of me..." Xiachuan Zou quickly changed the subject.

Shiina actually looked very angry right now, but it was precisely because of this that he felt relieved.

"In fact, I was able to become the president because of the support of Shinomiya and the others, but whether it's them or Shiina, they are all my good friends. There is no question of superiority or inferiority. I can guarantee this!"

He probably understood it a little.

——My best friend’s best friend is not me.

Shiina was in such a depression, right? Because she was also a person with few friends. Before I met her, she seemed to have been living a mechanical and lonely life. Even after the two of them became close, I didn't see her having any other friends.

Although it may sound a bit narcissistic to say this...but Shiina should be afraid that he - her friend will be taken away, right?

Just like a child, when he has a favorite toy, he will want to show it off to his friends, but if he is asked to give it up to play with, he will definitely be reluctant and even worry that the toy will be snatched away by others.

"Don't worry, I will be Shiina's best friend for life and will never leave without permission!"

"..."

Who wants you to be my lifelong friend? You idiot! Miss Angel complained in her heart.

117.Who asked you!

As Xiachuan Zou expected, after he said "I will never leave you" to Miss Angel, her face looked visibly better.

Although her attitude towards him was still not friendly and even contained some disdain, it was precisely because it could be expressed intuitively that people felt relieved.

——Verbal rejection is never a problem. Indifference is the sharpest blow that hurts people.

"Why are you still following me? Aren't you the student council president? Go do your own thing."

The crowd of onlookers around had mostly left, and Miss Angel finally felt the courage to throw a tantrum.

She put her hands on Xiachuan Zou's back and tried to push him away, but her strength was too weak and she couldn't move him even after trying for a long time.

"Ugh..."

What's the point of being so strong! I can't even push it! Idiot!

Since force wasn't working, I had no choice but to glare at him with a warning look, but I didn't expect him to be completely unmoved and even moved his face closer.

He was very close, his breath was on her face, it was itchy, and it also made her heart itchy; his eyelashes were also blinking, which was very beautiful. Although he was a boy, his lips with distinct colors were also very sexy...

"Do, what are you doing?" Shiina Mahiru pushed him away and said nervously.

My heart was beating very fast and I even started to have wild thoughts.

Could it be that Zou wants that...that?

Even though I know in my heart that these are all fantasies and the real atmosphere shouldn't be like this, I just can't help it.

It's all because he's so good-looking! Why does he look like this? He must have seduced countless girls with this face!

Thinking of this, my dissatisfaction with him finally surged up in my heart, and my hands became stronger, so that I could resist him.

"I don't remember Kanade being such a frivolous person. Could it be that his serious appearance before was just a lie?"

No matter what, I didn't want him to guess the little thoughts in my heart, so I had to use such words to force him back and cover up myself.

"Uh, you misunderstood. It's just that there seems to be something dirty on your face." Xiachuan Zou shook his head.

This kind of action does seem a bit intimate and is not suitable to be done outside.

"And it was moving. I thought it might be some small insect."

After all, the place where they were studying was in the woods, so who knows what might happen if they ran into each other.

"!" Shiina Mahiru was startled.

It would have been better if he hadn't said it. As soon as he said it, he felt his face getting really itchy, but he didn't dare to scratch it with his hands. He could only look at him with a pitiful expression and hold the corner of his clothes for help.

"Help……"

The trembling voice sounded like crying, which made Xiachuan Zou feel a little guilty and self-blaming.

"Yes! I'll help you get it down right away."

So he carefully approached her and gently stroked her face with his right hand...

So soft.

The first feeling is that it is very soft and sticky. When you press it lightly, it has amazing elasticity, which makes people love it...

"Zou?"

"Ah! Yes! I feel it! Catch it now!"

"..."

His fingertips slid lightly across her face, creating ripples that made her cheeks slightly hot. It felt like time was passing so slowly, and Zou's hands were still playing tricks on her face...

Are there really that many bugs to catch?

She didn't understand. It wasn't honey syrup, so how could it attract so many bugs?

"It's not healed yet..."

"It'll be alright soon..."

"..."

He had said so, so what else could she do? She could only... believe him.

After a long time, I realized that the big hand that was causing trouble had escaped, and I suddenly felt a sense of loss in my heart...

She must be going crazy! She actually thought this was a pretty good experience!

"Thank you, thank you..."

"No, you're welcome..."

"..."

"..."

"I, I'm leaving first!"

The throbbing in her heart could no longer be concealed, so Shiina had to cover her face with her arms, not wanting him to see it.

At this moment, she was so grateful that there were only the two of them here, their relationship was not exposed and they were not disturbed by anyone, but she could not bear such intimate behavior from Zou after all.

This is something that has never happened before!

"Gone..." murmured Xiachuan Zou who stayed where he was, with the lingering warmth still lingering in his palms.

Was it too much? He thought so, but thinking back, he felt that it was not a bad thing.

……

I never saw Shiina again that day. Even if I met her by chance, she would run away quickly and we couldn't talk to each other at all. I just waited until the evening study time in a dull manner.

Pushing open the door of the dormitory arranged by the school, Xiachuan Zou stretched out his hand and wanted to say hello to the people inside.

"Hello everyone, I'm Natsukawa... Kanade."

I originally thought that I might be able to meet some new friends, but I didn't expect that all the people sharing the same dormitory with him were acquaintances.

"Oh, Natsukawa is also in this room, what a coincidence." - This came from my student council colleague Shirogane Miyuki.

"Good evening, President." - A response from Tsubasa Tanuma, an acquaintance in the class.

And the thoughts of his close friend Hikigaya Hachiman, who said, “I want to die…”

"No matter what, you don't have to say such things to me when you see me, right?" Natsukawa Kanade teased at the mumbling Hikigaya Hachiman.

If they were strangers, he would feel somewhat uncomfortable getting along with them, as he would always have to deliberately maintain his dignity as the student council president. But if they were all familiar friends, there would be no problem, and he could be more relaxed.

"You can already tell that's not the case, right?" Hikigaya rolled his eyes at him and put down the paperback in his hand.

If Natsukawa Kanade was around, he wouldn't be able to pretend to be aloof and unapproachable anymore. This guy would definitely come over on his own and break the "perfect shield" he had carefully prepared.

"So you two know each other." Baiyin Yuxing nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Since Xiachuan Zou knew him, he would just hand it over to him. It just so happened that he was not suitable for this kind of work.

"Yeah, we were in the same club before." Natsukawa Kanade nodded and explained, "Hachiman is a very nice person. I think you two can become friends."

"Hey, hey, don't make decisions about my life without my permission!" Hikigaya Hachiman complained.

But having said that, he began to look at the other two people seriously.

Just judging from their appearance, they don’t seem to be bad people (currently pretending)... Never mind, since Natsukawa Kanade said so, it means that these two people are really the kind of people who can be approached... Anyway, never mind!

No matter what happens, just blame it on this guy! Who told him to start the topic without permission?

"…Hikigaya Hachiman, thank you for your guidance."

"Baiyin Yuxing, please give me your guidance."

"Tanuma Tsubasa, nice to meet you, Hikigaya-san."

"Natsukawa Kanade, I'm glad..."

"Who asked you?"

Natsukawa Kanade: ╮(╯▽╰)╭
