After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

"Of course it's true. I haven't lied... You don't have to."

Putting his hands on the other's shoulders and gently pushing her away, Natsukawa Kanade looked at Eriri's slightly moist eyes and said to her seriously: "Besides, how could I think you are troublesome? If that were the case, I would not have contacted you from the beginning."

From the other person's perspective, he might have chosen to leave because he understood her personality. In fact, he had known the nature of this little golden retriever long time ago.

"But Eriri, I hope you can understand one thing - I'm not very smart, and sometimes I may not understand what you mean, but please remember that I will never hate you, and I will never find you troublesome..."

"So, I hope you can tell me your true thoughts when I'm being silly and don't understand your mood in the future, okay? No matter what your thoughts are, I will never say anything more about it."

Maybe nothing will change in the short term, but this is also one of his attempts.

After all, no matter what, he still hopes to see the little golden retriever who is carefree and happy every day, rather than the "Lin Daiyu" who is sentimental and worried about gains and losses all day long like now.

Even so, she does have a unique kind of lovable feeling, but the little golden retriever who has lost her tsundere nature is clearly like the West who has lost its soul after losing Jerusalem.

"Okay, that's what you said." The little golden retriever finally regained her spirits. She blushed and made a request, "Then come and accompany me to the courage test meeting tonight..."

"That won't work." Xiachuan Zou said without hesitation.

"?"

So the little golden retriever was dumbfounded again.

137. This is a love war! ...?

"You said you didn't mind me being troublesome! You were obviously lying to me!" Ying Lili was so angry that her teeth were itching.

What's wrong with this person? How can he bully others like this? !

"Of course not." Xia Chuan Zou explained, "Didn't I tell you that I have already made an appointment with someone, how can I just stand them up like that?"

"After all, everything has to come first, and since I've already made an appointment with someone else, I definitely can't agree to yours, or else I'd be breaking my promise. You don't want me to be someone who doesn't keep his word, do you?"

"I hope so." Eriri said seriously.

"Uh..." Xiachuan Zou was stunned, but he quickly thought of a solution.

"Then what I promised you before..."

"Don't go back on your word! Anyone who doesn't keep his word is a fool!" Of course the little golden retriever disagreed. Why should she be deprived of even this little right?

"..." So Xiachuan Zou stopped talking and just signaled the other party with his eyes.

You see, he’s right, isn’t he?

However, Eriri doesn't think so much. What does breaking a promise or first come first served have to do with her? She just wants to participate with the person she likes, right?

Especially when she thought that the person who had made an appointment with Zou must be a rival who was eyeing Zou's body, there was absolutely no way she would choose to back down.

Because this is not a question of credit, but a war of love!

So what does it matter if what Zou said makes sense? After all, in the eyes of girls, there is no such thing as reason. There is only who is more important and who cares more.

And this is what Zou said, no matter what she thinks, just tell him, he will definitely not mind her being troublesome.

"I don't care. I'm going to participate with you anyway. If you don't agree, you're just thinking I'm troublesome." Ying Lili has already given up.

After all, things have come to this point, why should she still care about her face? If she procrastinates any longer, she will really be kidnapped.

"..."

Natsukawa Kanade naturally never thought that one day this little golden retriever would actually act like a spoiled child to him like this... No, it should be said that he would act like a spoiled child.

What is this? Even if you are shy, you shouldn't go to this extent...

Just when Natsukawa Kanade was thinking about what to do, Eriri beside him took his silence as a sign that he was preparing to reject her.

Because she really had no confidence. In fact, if it weren't for that fat woman, she wouldn't have the courage to come back to find Zou, let alone get along with him. Naturally, she felt that she couldn't compete with that unknown rival, so she had to settle for the next best thing:

"If it really doesn't work, I don't mind if the three of you form a team together..."

He looked aggrieved.

She did think so, and felt that it would be better to be roundabout. But after she said it, she suddenly felt that this method seemed very good. After all, she said so. It was impossible for Mr. Zou to be so cruel as to ignore her and go and flirt with another woman, right?

And as long as he can agree to it, I will have a way to prevent their relationship from getting deeper. It would be best if I can act like they are very close in front of that guy, so that he will back off...

Let's even make a bold guess! A normal girl would definitely not agree to this kind of decision made by three people, right? And if the other party disagrees, wouldn't she be able to date Zou alone?

She is so smart!

However, in the face of Eriri's proposal, Natsukawa Kanade flatly refused.

"What are you thinking about? It's impossible for three people to participate together. Although it's not written in the rules, the arrangement in previous years has always been two people in a group..."

"But you're the student council president, can't you just think of a way to get away with it?"

"What do you think the student council president is..." Xiachuan Kanade felt ashamed. At most, he could just modify the list or something.

One is easy to deal with, but what is the purpose of bringing two well-connected girls to participate in the game openly?

Do you want to be a man who defies fate?! And it would be too bad if you told others about it.

"Then what should I do? This won't work and that won't work... Can't you just try harder and participate on both sides?" Ying Lili pouted, looking reluctant.

It seems like she really has no other choice. Even her coquettish behavior like this can't change his mind...

"This isn't something that can be improved by just trying hard..." Xia Chuan Zou was a little helpless, "It's definitely impossible to participate in both sides. I can't split myself..."

"Wait... maybe it can?" Xia Chuan Zou murmured. Just as he was about to explain, he saw this stupid little golden retriever open his mouth wide with a surprised expression on his face.

"Ah? You really can split yourself into two?"

"..."

Natsukawa Kanade was very doubtful whether the person sitting in front of him was a high school student or something else... Well, judging from the surface, maybe he was a junior high school student?

It's the age of middle school, so I can understand.

"I mean other methods." After shaking his head, Natsukawa Kanade began to explain to the stupid golden retriever.

"If you follow the process, it will take about half an hour to check in all the levels and take away the reward medals. Taking into account the time wasted in other processes, it can be completed from the entire game to the end in about an hour." Xia Chuan Zou paused and continued.

"And the event starts at 7 o'clock and ends at 10 o'clock, which means I can go out twice during this period, once to keep the appointment, and the other time to participate with you..."

"The only problem is that I don't know if I can participate repeatedly, because this rule doesn't appear in the manual, and partners are arranged according to student numbers. Logically, everyone may only have one chance to play..."

"..." Ying Lili on the side was stunned.

Honestly, the idea is really good, but has he ever considered one thing - in front of a girl like her, discussing his plan to date two girls, one after the other, one of which includes her...

What kind of scumbag behavior is this?!

He is so fickle that she doesn't know how to complain!

To be honest, if she didn't know the other person's nature clearly, she would have started to insult him harshly by now. This is simply wishful thinking!

"You're not serious, are you?" Ying Lili's expression was complicated.

"Of course I'm serious. Isn't this method a good one?" Natsukawa Kanade replied to her seriously.

Seeing Eriri's strange expression, he spoke to comfort her again: "Don't worry, although this will indeed be more difficult for me, but at least I can accompany you to participate, and I can also fulfill my promise. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"..."

Ying Lili was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak out what was in her mind. But just as she was about to speak, she saw the other party took out his cell phone and gestured for her to be quiet and not talk.

"..."

"Hey, is it Fujiwara?"

Originally, he was going to send it to Kaguya to ask, but suddenly he remembered that the other party was the one he had an appointment with. If he asked Kaguya about this matter, she would definitely guess something, and he might even offend her. So he chose the less reliable Fujiwara Chika.

Because of her past habits, Natsukawa Kanade subconsciously turned on the hands-free function, so the sound from the other end also entered Eriri's ears.

"President? What's the matter? I'm eating." Fujiwara Chika's unique voice came over accompanied by a slight chewing sound.

"I have something to ask you..." Xia Chuan Kan thought for a moment and organized his words. "Let me make it short. Do you know anything about the Test of Courage tonight? For example, can those who have already participated play again?"

On the other side, Fujiwara Chika, who was enjoying her meal alone in the cafeteria, showed a surprised expression and began to talk:

"Oh! The president is amazing! He actually found a loophole in the rules! It's true that it's not mentioned in the manual! I was planning to use it... Hello? President?"

Just when Fujiwara Chika was about to share her plan, she heard a busy tone on her phone. She looked down and found that the other party had hung up already.

"..."

Wowaaaaaaah!!!

The pink octopus head suddenly became angry, biting down hard as if the fried meat on the plate was Natsukawa Kanade, muttering:

"Damn you, President! You treated me like a tool and ran away after asking me questions! This is too much! I will bite you to death..."

"Really delicious!"

The next moment, a happy smile appeared on his face.

……

On the other side, after getting a positive answer, Natsukawa Kanade hung up the phone and said to Eriri beside him, "It seems that there is indeed no problem."

It can even be said that he is not only more at ease psychologically, but also has practical significance - thanks to that guy Chika, if he is really held accountable, he can say that it was Fujiwara who told him that he could participate again, and he even recorded a voice for it.

In this way, the responsibilities shared by the two of them can more or less disperse the firepower. As for Qianhua... just compensate her with some food. I'm sure she won't mind with her broad mind.

"..."

Eriri, who had witnessed the whole process, was stunned. To be honest, she didn't know what to say. She even felt that her thoughts were a bit redundant.

After all, the girl on the phone didn't look angry at all? Even her voice didn't sound like she had any fluctuations! It was as if she didn't care at all that the person she had made an appointment with immediately turned around and threw himself into the arms of another person after spending time with her!

Who would believe this?

She even began to wonder if the girl named Fujiwara Chika had some bad hobby...

That’s right, this little golden retriever mistook Fujiwara Chika for the person who had an appointment with Natsukawa Kanade, and was now in an inexplicable mood.

"What's wrong? You have such a strange expression..." asked Xiachuan Kanade.

"No, nothing, just... a little surprised..." Eriri shook her head with a complicated expression.

"Okay." Seeing this, Xia Chuan Zou didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked down at the time and then extended an invitation to the girl in front of him.

"You probably haven't eaten yet, do you want to join us?"

"……Um."

138. Men are all pigs

Because it was past the prime meal time, there were fewer people in the cafeteria. The only ones left were small groups of three or five, who ate desserts after dinner and chatted about evening activities.

"Mahiru-kun, isn't it time to go make a date?" A girl with a ponytail poked Shiina Mahiru beside her with a finger.

"If you don't act now, someone else will get there first, and then it will be too late for you to cry."

"That's right. After all, men are all pigs. They will accept any pretty girl who comes to them." Another girl with twin ponytails also echoed.

"Yes, yes, even if a girl as cute as you is kissed by Mahiru, they will still feel unsatisfied. Only by actively attacking, constantly occupying the space around them, and declaring your sovereignty to everyone can you firmly grasp them in your hands!"

"Right, right. So just holding hands is definitely not enough. Even elementary school students don't do that anymore. At least it has to be kissing."

"This... this... definitely won't work..." The angel blushed when he heard this.

They had agreed to just have a meal together and then go back to rest, but they ended up being dragged into discussing love matters again. She originally wanted to listen to her friends' ideas and try to learn something from them, but all she heard were terrible lines?

At least it's KISS... What embarrassing things do you want her to do in public?!

"Okay, stop messing around and be serious." The calm and steady girl with long black straight hair who was in the lead suddenly spoke.
