After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

……

Xia Chuan Zou naturally had no idea what was going on in the mind of the little golden retriever in front of him, but based on past experience he felt that she might be trying to be brave, and he couldn't sit still anymore.

"No, you'd better go to the infirmary. Your physical condition is not very good. It will be troublesome if you really get sick and something goes wrong." Xia Chuan Zou immediately became serious.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the girls he was familiar with did not seem to have very good physical fitness. Needless to say, Eriri was a typical otaku, and the senior was even weak. Only Kaguya was an outlier. Not only did she have a good physique, but it was also far beyond the level of ordinary people. She could even crush some boys with her wrist strength.

——She can be called a heroine.

"I'm really fine, you're making a fuss." Ying Lili said coquettishly.

On the surface, I looked like I was disgusted by his making a fuss, but in fact, I was very happy inside - he really cared about me!

He still has me in his heart!

Although it's not nice to say this, it's a good thing that Zou's pursuit failed this time, so she was able to get back into his sight, otherwise she would have no chance at all.

"No, we must check it out. We can't be careless about this kind of thing." Xia Chuanzou said seriously.

The reason why he was so firm was actually because similar things had happened before.

When he was pursuing Eriri, she tried to show off and stayed up all night to draw, and finally collapsed from exhaustion. She even had a fever and was sick for several days. When Natsukawa Kanade found out, he went to visit her after school every day, and at some cost, he got a copy of the class notes from her classmates, and persistently copied a copy every day and brought it to her. This allowed her to pass the midterm exam smoothly and not fail.

From then on, he and Eriri agreed that he would help her with the drawing progress and told her not to work so hard.

Although Eriri rejected his confession later, he would not go back on his word. As long as the other party needed his help, he would never refuse.

"Although it seems unlikely, you wouldn't..." Xiachuan Kanade hesitated, looked up at Yukinoshita who was sitting opposite him, then lowered his head and continued softly, "You wouldn't be drawing that over here, would you?"

"That?" Eriri was a little confused for a moment. After a moment of silence, she finally understood what Natsukawa Kanade was talking about.

In an instant, her face was covered with red, and her tone became angry and embarrassed.

"You, you, you...you idiot! What terrible things are you talking about!"

"I, I, I...I would never do such a thing!"

As she spoke, she began to use her unique killer move - the Twin Ponytails Slash. She swung her long twin ponytails and slapped them on Natsukawa Kanade's body, trying to cover up the shame on her face with such personal attacks.

However, facing such an attack, Xia Chuan Zou was not angry but happy, and even nodded repeatedly.

That's right, this is the impression he has of Eriri, a tsundere little golden-haired girl full of energy. Her previous sentimental look was so strange, it was like she had become a different person.

Now Natsukawa Kanade was able to confirm that there was indeed nothing wrong with Eriri's health. At most, something had happened that made her feel a little worried.

Just when he wanted to say something, Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been watching the two of them expressionlessly, finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"Can you please end this farce of lovemaking? Because of your shameful behavior, this place has become the focus of attention."

129. Snow Girl vs. Golden Retriever

Yukinoshita Yukino, the representative noun of correctness and absolute justice.

As the president of the Service Club, Yukinoshita Yukino believes that she has a fair stance and will never lose to others.

Therefore, when she saw someone being openly affectionate in front of her in public, she would speak out in a righteous and stern manner to resist.

"As a student of Shuchiin, aren't you ashamed to do such an unrespectable act in the cafeteria?"

"Or is it that the student council president is ready to abandon this troublesome identity and choose to reveal his unique hobby that he should be ashamed to talk about to the world?"

"Oh, if paramecium could have consciousness, it would probably choose to commit suicide out of shame after seeing this ridiculous scene before its eyes, right?"

Words as cold as frost came from the side and floated directly into Xia Chuanzou's ears, but seemed to resound in his heart, just like a thorny ice lotus blooming in his body, tickling him so much that his whole body shivered.

The memories of those days when he was dominated in the past resurfaced in his mind, making Xia Chuanzo feel ashamed.

There was only one thought left in my head - Yukino was angry.

He was like this when he made her angry in the past. His face was terribly gloomy and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura. He looked like he had just returned from training in an ice cellar, and every word he spoke was filled with a chilling breath.

This time she is the well-deserved Ice Queen.

So she quickly comforted the little golden retriever beside her who was about to say something to resist the Ice Queen, and signaled that you can't beat her, so just give in first.

As a result, the little golden retriever didn't believe it at all. He thought, he had been fighting with that fat woman with a sharp tongue for so long, so what kind of nasty words had he not heard?

There's nothing to be afraid of!

then--

"Yes... I'm sorry!" The little golden retriever with tearful eyes sat in his seat with his head lowered aggrievedly, looking choked with sobs, and apologized word by word.

It's not that she is too weak... although there is a certain relationship between them, but the main reason is that the Snow Girl did not play by the rules at all. She did not mention anything about herself, but started from Eriri's behavior just now, accusing her of causing unnecessary trouble to Natsukawa Kanade. So the little golden retriever immediately surrendered, and then the Snow Girl stood on the moral high ground and pointed fingers at the little golden retriever.

It wouldn't have been a big deal originally, mainly because this little golden retriever was a fairly moral person, and he already felt sorry for Natsukawa Sou, so now he was completely kidnapped and couldn't resist at all.

"Yes, I'm sorry... I, I really didn't mean to cause trouble to Kanade, I just, just..."

"Do you just think that as good friends, you can attack each other without restraint?"

"Gum..." Eriri lowered her head in silence, feeling more and more guilty.

"Well, there's no need to bring it to that point. I actually don't think there's anything wrong..." Natsukawa Kanade opened her mouth wanting to help Eriri out of the predicament, but unexpectedly she became the target of attack.

"As the student council president, wouldn't it affect your image if other people saw you doing such a humiliating thing?"

"Or do you think that the position of student council president is not worth taking, because its importance is not worth the public fight between you and your female classmates? Hehe..."

"Or maybe... there are already enough rumors about you, so this one won't make a difference?"

"..."

It was obvious that the second young lady was very angry, and even her chest, which had been calm before, was slightly rising and falling.

However, Xiachuan Zou did not dare to look at her for too long, for fear that she might sense something with murderous intent at this moment, so she could only maintain an obedient attitude of "I was wrong" and listen carefully to the teacher's teachings.

But to be honest, he didn't think it was that serious.

After all, there was no one else here except the three of them, not to mention that they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, right?

And what's wrong with the student council president? Can't a person have a private life? It's not like he's doing anything naughty, at most he's just getting a little intimate with his female friends in private!

But the key is that both parties are single, right? Even if it is true, it is consensual! No one can say anything!

He originally wanted to refute loudly, but the Snow Girl opposite him looked like she wanted to eat him, so he stepped back, thinking about giving her a little more leeway.

As the saying goes, a prime minister has a broad mind. He is a magnanimous man and doesn't bother with her.

Looking at Xiachuan Zou's obedient appearance of admitting his mistake with his head down, and coupled with the good scolding just now, the anger he had felt from being shown affection in public had mostly disappeared.

Although she herself would never admit this and would only argue that she was advocating justice, she did feel much better. However, after she said what was in her heart, she inexplicably felt her cheeks getting a little hot.

Maybe it was because she was too excited.

"Since you want to be a good student union president, you must always pay attention to your image. If you are discovered by those pure... people, they will inevitably use this matter to criticize you..." The second lady rubbed her temples, hoping to relax herself.

I can only say that it was fortunate that the seats they chose were quite remote, and since it was still very early before class, there were really no people around, otherwise this place would have become the focus of the entire cafeteria.

Xiachuan Zou nodded repeatedly, still putting on an attitude of "I know I was wrong", but he was actually having doubts in his heart.

I didn’t expect that Yukino was also paying attention to him and even knew about this matter... Could it be that Hachiman told her?

But what puzzled him even more was why Yukino cared so much about his image and was so angry about it. Logically speaking, the two of them had almost lost contact since his failed confession, let alone communication. They hadn't even met each other again until that day when she appeared in the student union room.

At first, he really thought that Yukino didn't want to see him again. After all, he did join the Service Club with impure intentions. But he didn't expect that she was also paying attention to his affairs. It seemed that she didn't want to lose him as a friend.

As for why I care about his status as student council president... maybe it's because the reason he used to quit the club was "I'm going to run for student council president, and I won't have time to participate in other club activities in the future"?

After all, he had already decided to get close to Kaguya at that time, and he hadn't participated in club activities for a long time, so he thought about quitting the club directly. But he didn't expect that this sudden departure without saying goodbye seemed to irritate Yukino?

Natsukawa Kanade thought about it and felt that he had found the correct answer.

130. A Little Wish

What's the point of just figuring it out? At most, it would make him understand Yukino's current mood and why she, who was always calm and steady, would be so angry in front of a stranger she met for the first time.

Because it was actually aimed at him, it just happened that the little golden retriever bumped into the muzzle of the gun and became the target of attack.

But what could he do? Could he expect that if he apologized now, they would be able to return to their previous close relationship?

Naturally it is impossible.

He had approached Yukino with impure intentions before, but the other party just treated him as an ordinary friend.

And now, let alone that he has realized that his previous "love" was not true love, even if it was really an irreparable love for Yukino, it has basically dissipated with the passage of time... No, it should be said -

The original vacant space has long been filled with other emotions.

"I appreciate your kindness, and I know what to do, but these things have nothing to do with Eriri, so there's no need to implicate her." Natsukawa Kanade said in a deep voice, hiding Eriri behind him, as if he wanted to protect her.

Maybe he was being a little too nosy, but seeing the pitiful look of the little golden retriever being scolded, he couldn't remain indifferent.

Indeed, what Yukinoshita said makes sense, and similar "impeachment" incidents have happened before, but that doesn't mean he has to live in fear and even have to carefully pay attention to the reactions of those around him when interacting with his friends.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be too frustrating for him to be the student council president? And the most important point is that the information about Yukinoshita is actually outdated.

For him now, with the support of Kaguya and Chika, the two most popular girls in "Junyuan", plus the prestige he has painstakingly built up over the past few months and the support of the school, it can be said that no one can shake his current position.

The evidence is that the so-called scandals that were originally supposed to be negative information about him have now become evidence of his "good relationships with the opposite sex"...

However, seeing the protective look of Natsukawa Kanade, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly calmed down.

An indescribable feeling flashed through her heart, as if a stone that was originally suspended in the air suddenly fell to the ground, and the hazy fog was suddenly dispelled, revealing something she had been eyeing for for a long time.

"..."

"So this is your attitude? Because she..." She said to Natsukawa Kanade, but her eyes were always on Eriri beside her.

Maybe she did misunderstand at first, but now it seems that she didn't misunderstand much.

"..." Xia Chuan Zou frowned, suddenly unable to understand what she said.

What do you mean by his attitude? Does he mean he is defending Eriri? But this is the truth. Their affairs should not involve other people. If there is anything, they should find another time to talk about it alone.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood. I think we should find another time to talk alone..."

"No need, I'm calm now, and... I've said everything I needed to say." Yukinoshita Yukino replied.

The facts were already before her eyes, what else could she say? Was she going to act like a poor stray cat, eagerly looking forward to the other person's glance?

She can't.

What is missed is missed, not to mention the wrong timing. Even if she really understood her feelings at the time, her state of mind then could not be the same as it is now.

So just let it go, and keep the memory of those days as a beautiful memory forever in your heart...

"I still have some things to do, so I'll leave first..." After packing up her things, Yukinoshita Yukino stood up and prepared to leave.

"By the way, what Hiratsuka-sensei told you...just treat it as if it never happened. I can handle it, so you don't need to worry about it."

"..." Natsukawa Kanade didn't try to keep him, but he was very concerned about what Yukinoshita said before she left.

What did Hiratsuka-sensei say to him?

If his memory served him correctly, the last time he met Mr. Hiratsuka seemed to be outside the hot spring bath that night.

Because the front desk mistook his identity for a teacher, and gave him the wrong directions, he went to the wrong bathhouse and ended up in the teachers' only area. When he had just put on his clothes and carefully came out, he bumped into the other person the next moment, and was teased by the other person for a while...

So Yukino meant for him to not take it to heart, and that Hiratsuka-sensei wouldn't tell anyone about it?

Are you referring to this matter?

Natsukawa Kanade thought about it carefully and felt that the other party might be referring to this matter, but he didn't think he was exposed, unless Yukino accidentally said it and let Hiratsuka teacher know.

But is this possible? Would Yukino make such a mistake given her personality?
