After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

"Mahiru?"

"because……"

"Ok?"

"Because... my eyes are red..." Miss Angel lowered her head, so she could always see her two little hands being held tightly by the other party and not letting go. So she blamed him in her heart for holding him so tightly, as she would not run away.

"..."

But after she finished explaining the reason, he fell silent. From her perspective, she saw him let go of her hand, slowly raised it up, and then placed it on her cheek, forcing her to raise her head.

"I was wondering why Mahiru was so cute today. Turns out she put on makeup." Looking directly into the angel's eyes, Natsukawa Kanade said seriously.

"But I think that even without makeup, Mahiru is very cute, especially when she smiles... well, there's a feeling of being tipsy and intoxicated."

"Pfft..." Seeing his serious look, Miss Angel finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What? Stupid. This adjective is outdated and has no new meaning at all..."

Although her face showed a look of slight disgust, she was already cheering in her heart.

How could she hate him praising her? She just wanted him to say more until she got tired of listening, until he said he liked her...

As for Xiachuan Zou, his goal had already been achieved, because at this moment the angel not only did not avoid his gaze anymore, but also recovered enough to be able to complain about him.

141. He is absolutely trustworthy

It is said that girls who have been coaxed are the easiest to deceive. However, Natsukawa Kanade did not want to deceive the other party. It was just that this made it easier for Mahiru to communicate and contact.

The evidence was that at this moment Miss Angel was curled up in a ball, sitting obediently in his arms, and he was gently combing her hair with a comb.

Her hair was quite messy because she had been covering herself with the quilt, so it was a good opportunity to comb it.

For Miss Angel, this is also a very relaxing moment for her, because she can rely on him wholeheartedly, without having to think about anything, and just need to enjoy this simple warmth.

"Can you tell me what happened? I'm very worried about you..." Xiachuan Zou took the opportunity to ask the doubts in his heart.

"..."

Shiina Mahiru hesitated for a moment, but finally told him the truth, but she omitted the part about him.

Because it's not the right time yet, she thought, that kind of thing should be done in a more appropriate occasion, when they can only look at each other...

As I thought about it, my heart suddenly felt soft.

"Zou, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Yes, a little bit." Xiachuan Zou nodded slightly.

But she's silly in a cute way.

After all, most people would not invite him just because "it might embarrass the person who already has an appointment"? It even caused conflicts with friends because of this... This sounds even more outrageous.

I can only say that she is worthy of being an angel, and such a thing can only happen to her.

"Wow, you actually said I'm stupid!" The angel immediately got angry, puffed up his little face and thought about taking revenge on him.

Then I gently bumped his chest with the back of my head.

Of course she didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of hurting him.

"Hehe, how dare you say that?"

"..." Xia Chuan Zou didn't reply to her, but just smiled softly.

"But Mahiru, don't do such stupid things again, you hear me?"

"……Oh."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to care much, Xia Chuan Zou continued:

"I'm really happy that you're thinking about me, but you don't have to be afraid to come to me because of that, right?" Gently patting the angel's head, Xia Chuan Zou said seriously.

"You know, I've never felt embarrassed by you. In fact, it's quite the opposite. I feel very honored that the angel has invited me."

"Well... I told you not to call me that..." Shiina Mahiru pretended to be dissatisfied.

However, today, such address can be regarded as a little interest between them, because she knows very well that Zou has always treated her as an ordinary girl, otherwise he would definitely not dare to approach her like other people.

"Anyway, Mahiru, don't worry about these things anymore. Just rely on me as much as possible..." After combing the angel's hair, Natsukawa Kanade nodded with satisfaction, "Of course, in return... please continue to get along with me like this in the future."

"..."

However, this time Miss Angel did not respond to him immediately, but remained silent.

Because she knew that simply getting along like this was not enough, and she would not be able to be satisfied forever, until one day, she would be unable to restrain herself from telling him how she felt, and thus face the final judgment.

Before that, all she could do was to try her best to make Zou like her, adapt to her, and even get used to her life, until he couldn't leave her anymore...

"Okay, now that the issues between us have been resolved, it's time to discuss your matter, Mahiru." Natsukawa Kanade reminded.

Because he was too accustomed to each other's company, when he was with Miss Angel, he always felt restless if he didn't do something with his hands, so he put his hand on her head and stroked it gently.

Miss Angel didn't think there was anything wrong with this action. She just tilted her head slightly, as if asking him a question.

"my business?"

"Of course... Could it be that you forgot about the conflict with your friend?" Xia Chuan Zou was a little surprised.

In his opinion, isn't this the main point of this incident? And what happened between them was just a small episode, at most the fuse that led to the conflict between their friends.

"..." Shiina Mahiru didn't know what to say.

Indeed, ever since the other party showed up, she had not been thinking about that at all. Not only that, when she escaped back, she was not thinking about the quarrel with her friends at all, but the scene of him showing up in the cafeteria with that cute girl...

So she is the one who values ​​love over friendship?

Miss Angel suddenly felt a little ashamed.

"Then, then... Zou, what should I do?"

If she were alone, all she could do was to muster up the courage to apologize to them as she did just now. But she didn't even know whether they would accept it or not. She even had no idea whether they would be willing to listen to her again.

Now that she has someone she can rely on, she places all her hopes on him.

"What do you think, Mahiru? Can't we just apologize to them directly like we did just now?"

"But I'm a little scared. What if they don't want to listen to me anymore..."

"Uh..." Xia Chuan Zou felt that this worry was unnecessary. After all, the only reason he was here was because those three people came to him.

If you don't care, why would you "meddle in other people's business"?

"Do you believe me, then?"

"Yeah." Miss Angel nodded as a matter of course.

"Then leave it to me. I will create an opportunity for you to meet, but everything after that is up to you."

Of course he could negotiate with those three people on behalf of Mahiru, and even beg them to forgive her clumsiness, but the friendship gained in that way would not be their own after all. The only way he could help was to act as a matchmaker, but he absolutely could not interfere.

"...Okay." Miss Angel nodded, and her mood became more relaxed.

It turned out that she couldn't live without Zou. Only by staying by his side could she be carefree and not have to worry about anything.

"Thank you, Kanade."

"No, I should thank you."

Thank you for appearing in his life, Natsukawa Kanade thought.

If he hadn't seen each other for the first time on that rainy night, he might have spent his youth again like a robot in a daze. But with her and them, his life became different.

Although what he got was not a perfect terminal, he was very satisfied with the current situation. It could even be said that he was much more satisfied than what he had pursued before.

Because this is the real emotion, without any falsehood mixed in, there is only communication and touch between different souls.

Shiina Mahiru turned around with some confusion, and was about to ask what the other party meant, but saw that he had already stood up.

"It's almost time. I have to leave." Xiachuan Zou said goodbye to the other party.

After all, this is still a girls' dormitory, so he naturally cannot stay that long, but the most important thing is that he will be very busy later and cannot waste time like this.

This is not an exaggeration, because as the student union president, he not only has to coordinate and arrange everything during the conference, but also has to command the staff of various departments, which means he has a lot of affairs to deal with.

In addition, he had accepted the invitations of Kaguya and Eriri before... Well, now he has to take Mahiru into account. Therefore, he will not only have to participate in three games, but also have to pay attention to every process as the overall person in charge to ensure that the conference can be held and ended smoothly. Naturally, the workload is not small.

In order to ensure that they would not be disappointed, he could only try to properly resolve various possible problems in advance, so he had to make plans now.

So first of all——

"Mahiru, can you lend me your cell phone?"

"Yeah." Miss Angel nodded. Although she didn't know what he wanted to do, she was sure it would be okay.

So Xiachuan Zou skillfully opened the contact column, found the name of the leader of the trio among the few contacts, clicked it, quickly edited a message and sent it.

Then he said to Shiina Mahiru who was standing beside him: "It's done. I've arranged a meeting for you with them. The location is in your room. You just need to wait for them here."

"Huh?!" Miss Angel was shocked, thinking, is this what you call creating opportunities? But she even used her mobile phone!

As if he had seen through her doubts, Xia Chuanzou turned back before leaving and said:

"I can't help it. After all, I don't have their contact information. Maybe I won't meet them again after this. But you are roommates, so it's impossible not to contact each other in the future..."

"Anyway, I'll be leaving now. I'll contact you after the conference starts tonight, don't worry... Oh, by the way, I may contact you a little later because I have a lot of things to do, but don't worry, I will definitely keep the appointment."

After giving Miss Angel a reassuring look, Natsukawa Kanade gently closed the door and left.

"..."

142. He is so considerate

After coming out of the girls' dormitory, Natsukawa Kanade went straight to the temporary student union room. However, rather than calling it a student union room, it was actually just a small classroom where they set up a makeshift team.

Fortunately, they don’t need a very large space. A desk to put files is enough. In the end, most of the work still depends on manpower.

"President, some students have complained that the way partners are assigned is not rational. If members are assigned according to their student numbers, it may lead to a large number of same-sex members forming teams, and then they will not be able to be with girls..."

"Tell them, 'If you care about the process, then focus more on studying and strive to get the right to make your own choices in the third grade courage test. If you care about the result, then go and ask the girl you like out on your own. The school is not a matchmaker and is not responsible for matchmaking for you.'"

"But there are many students who proposed this, and several of them are directors and deputy directors of the sports department..."

"Then tell them that the total club funding for next month is limited and may not be able to take care of the needs of all clubs in the school."

"Yes!"

"President, here is a document that I need you to review."

"Let me see... the shopping list?" Xia Chuan Zou frowned. He remembered clearly that he had sent people to complete things like the costumes for cosplaying as goblins as early as the first day of the Forest School. How come there was another one now?

"Who sent this?"

"It seems to be Secretary Fujiwara. She asked me to hand it to the president personally."

"Hmm? What about her own people?"

"She said she wanted to check the equipment along the way to prevent any malfunctions when the level officially starts."

"..."

This is clearly an excuse to escape from the business, right? Xia Chuan Zuo thought, he didn't remember the other party being so conscientious and responsible, and maybe she didn't even go to check any equipment, but to add her own private work along the way...

But it doesn't matter. Compared with the affairs that need to be dealt with at other times, the things that need to be dealt with during the conference are basically child's play, and the amount is not that large. It is exactly the same whether Fujiwara is there or not.

Natsukawa Kanade raised his head slightly and glanced at Shinomiya Kaguya not far away. She was helping to process documents that did not require his personal approval.

"Okay, I get it, put it here."
