After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

"You, you've been hungry all day, you must eat more..."

“Gurgle…”

The strange noise attracted attention again, and the aroma of the warm porridge caused the angel's stomach to protest a little - how can you want a man but not a belly? Bad master!

"No, no, it's just... just, wuwu..."

Facing Natsukawa Kanade who was very sober at the moment, Shiina Mahiru couldn't fool her this time.

She thought that if she had drunk something to fill her stomach before coming over, it would have been better. However, she was afraid of missing the sight of Zou waking up the first moment.

"No, don't look at me..."

Shiina Mahiru squatted on the ground, covering her face with her hands, her pretty face covered with beautiful blushes.

"Uh..." Xiachuan Zou turned his head away, a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to comfort the angel.

This lovely look made his heart, which had just calmed down, feel a little excited. Fortunately, his rationality was still there.

"If you don't mind, let's go together?"

"..." Shiina Mahiru raised her head, her eyes hazy, and hummed softly with her small nose, "Hmm..."

………………

Xiachuan Zou's physical condition is pretty good. After a day and night of rest, he is now fine.

"Hello, President."

"Good morning, President."

"Good morning."

As he walked along, people kept greeting Xia Chuan Zou, and he naturally responded one by one.

As I walked into the classroom, I saw the angel with a very dignified smile. Maybe it was Xiachuan Kanade's illusion, but after he entered the door, the angel's smile seemed more real and beautiful.

It was a blessing in disguise. This illness warmed up his relationship with Shiina Mahiru, and they gradually became closer, but they were still not to the point where they could go to school together.

After all, this was something he had never been able to do before.

"Xiachuan, are you feeling better?"

The person who came to greet him was Shirogane Yuxing. They were in the same class. At the moment, he had dark circles under his eyes and looked extremely sleep-deprived.

"Well, I'm fine..." Xia Chuanzo shook his head, wondering why Baiyin looked even weaker than him? It felt like he might collapse at any time.

"I'm glad you're okay. I'll go get some sleep first." Baiyin Yuxing nodded and walked straight to his seat.

The purpose of concern has been achieved, so it is natural to go back to get some sleep.

In order to make up for Natsukawa Sou's absence and also to live up to his expectations, he has taken on almost all the duties originally belonging to the student council president these days.

Except for some particularly important matters when he needed to discuss with Kaguya Shinomiya, he had to make all the decisions on other trivial matters by himself.

Although they were all small things that were easy to handle, there were too many of them and it was hard not to invest time into them. In addition, he had to study constantly in order to maintain his academic performance, so he could only squeeze out his sleep time...

Although Shirogane Yuxing's tone wasn't too bad, judging from his staggering figure, he was indeed very tired.

Did something happen in the student union recently? Or did he simply not sleep well?

Xiachuan Zou was naturally a little confused. This was the first time he saw Shirogane Miyuki looking sleep-deprived in real life. Could it be that he had been working too hard in the past few days?

Natsukawa Kanade was in a somewhat subtle mood.

He had forgotten that when he first became the student council president, he also looked weak and sleep-deprived, but he gradually got used to it, and after becoming more proficient in the job and saving a lot of time, he was no longer like that.

The whole morning was spent in non-stop classes, and Natsukawa Kanade soon had lunch break.

As agreed, Natsukawa Kanade went to find Shinomiya Kaguya with a lunch box.

The bento was naturally made by himself. Ever since he was rejected by the angel, he spent some time learning how to cook. There was nothing he could do about it. His taste had become too picky and he could no longer adapt to those meal replacements that could only supplement nutrition. In order to avoid starving to death, he had to learn to cook by himself.

After hearing about this last night, Shiina Mahiru stared at him for a long time with a very resentful look, which made Natsukawa Kanade feel inexplicably guilty. No matter how much you like others to eat your food, you can't force him like this, right?

Since ancient times, favors are the hardest to repay. Unless it is necessary for a strategy, Xiachuan Zou will never easily owe favors to others.

"Good afternoon, President."

"Well, good afternoon, Shinomiya." Natsukawa Kanade nodded.

He was too lazy to worry too much about the title of "President" given by Kaguya Shinomiya. These girls were just like that anyway, with all kinds of little thoughts of their own and doing what they wanted.

The place the two agreed to meet was in the student union room, which made Natsukawa Kanade believe even more in Shinomiya Kaguya's excuse that she was "handling official business."

014. Fujiwara, you did a great job!

"President, try this."

"Ah good."

"And this... this too!"

"Um……"

It’s hard to describe such a scene. How should I put it… Using luxurious and extravagant dishes to constantly exchange for the ordinary home-cooked meals in other people’s lunch boxes, do you think you’re eating too well?

However, if it comes to a young lady like Kaguya Shinomiya, I can understand her thoughts - because she has never eaten ordinary home-cooked meals, she is curious about their taste and wants to try them.

But is it a bit too much to keep staring at the side dishes in other people's lunch boxes? Are they really that delicious?

Natsukawa Kanade always felt that Kaguya Shinomiya's saliva was about to flow down...

Just now, Shinomiya Kaguya suggested that they finish their lunch boxes before discussing business matters, and Natsukawa Kanade naturally did not object.

But when he opened his lunch box, he was very keenly aware that Shinomiya Kaguya was attracted.

She completely ignored the luxurious bento in her hand, which was made with the hard work of famous chefs, and focused all her attention on the low-end homemade bento in his hand.

Naturally, Natsukawa Kanade would not turn a blind eye to it. He thought that perhaps Shinomiya Kaguya had never eaten things like cuttlefish sausage and hamburger meat, so she thought it was some kind of high-end side dish. So he generously offered to exchange some ingredients with the other party.

The original intention was not to make the other party feel guilty about taking advantage of him, but because of this kind gesture, he felt very uncomfortable during the rest of the meal.

French foie gras, Tania blue lobster, Caspian cod caviar...all kinds of high-end ingredients, some of which he could name or some of which he didn't even recognize, were put into his small, cheap lunch box.

It's just a child that costs only 1500 yen, how can it afford all this?

I thought it was just an exchange of food between good friends, but as time went on, it turned out that he was deceiving the ignorant young lady.

Since the other party likes it so much, it is not impossible to give the whole lunch box to Shinomiya Kaguya. After all, she seems to really like the food he makes, but the result of that will be that he will get the luxurious lunch box in the other party's hand.

Let alone one against ten thousand, at least one against a thousand, right? Although Kaguya Shinomiya certainly didn't feel anything, he couldn't feel at ease at all!

"Ahem... Let's talk business first."

The chefs' cooking skills are indeed very good. The exquisite ingredients lying neatly in the lunch boxes keep emitting tempting body fragrance, which madly attracts Natsukawa Kanade's attention. In order to stop being tempted, he has to find a way to divert his attention.

"I believe in your ability, Sigong. Is there anything that can be difficult for you?"

Intellectual, elegant, and well-rounded, Shinomiya Kaguya is undoubtedly a well-deserved talented woman. Natsukawa Kanade naturally doesn't know how much effort she has put in to become such a person, but her recognition of her efforts will never be reduced because of her strong talent.

What's more, she was the heroine he once liked. Having 100% trust in someone you like is the quality that a qualified partner should have.

"Hmm!" Shinomiya Kaguya was stunned.

I felt sad that I couldn't eat the food made by the president himself because I saw him closing his lunch box. Just when I was feeling disappointed, I was suddenly praised by the president!

Hehe, the president recognized me...

Shinomiya Kaguya's mood improved all of a sudden. Now she seemed to be lying in soft clouds. The warmth around her kept pressing towards her, almost making her melt.

"Four Palaces?"

"Ah! Yes! Of course!"

"Uh...for example?" Natsukawa Zou asked curiously.

It was obvious that Kaguya Shinomiya was distracted just now, but what she was thinking about, Natsukawa Kanade couldn't guess and was too lazy to guess.

Girls’ minds are so complicated. Instead of trying to guess what they are thinking, it’s better to buy lottery tickets and try your luck.

At least the latter still has the possibility of winning the prize.

"For example, for example... being a good student council president! This is something I can't do!" Shinomiya Kaguya said firmly.

This was the beginning of the conversation that I had discussed with Hayasaka early in the morning.

For Shinomiya Kaguya, she certainly hopes that Natsukawa Sora can continue to serve as the student council president, otherwise she will have no chance to get along with Natsukawa Sora in school, let alone spend more time alone with him.

It took a lot of effort for her to be alone with him like today - let Hayasaka make a plan, let Hayasaka teach her how to invite the president, let Hayasaka guard the door of the student council room to prevent other people from coming in, let Hayasaka keep in touch with her at all times to support her...

Therefore, it is difficult to achieve such opportunities for solitude!

"Be a good...student council president?" Xia Chuan Zou looked a little surprised.

To be honest, he really thought it was an extremely difficult problem that would stump the geniuses in the student union, but the result was just this?

It’s just being a student council president, anyone can do it, right?

Apart from anything else, the fact that nothing went wrong in the student union during the few days he was absent has already proved that he, the student union president, is not that important. The work he can do can also be done by others - such as Shirogane Yuxing.

Not to mention that Shirogane Miyuki is the male protagonist in the original work and the president of the student union.

It was he who shamelessly stole the throne that belonged to Baiyin Yuxing, and now he is just returning it to others after he "found his conscience".

"Isn't there still Baiyin? I think he can do the job..."

"No way!" Shinomiya Kaguya said seriously, "Shirogane may be very capable, but he can never be more suitable than the president!"

"The president is the president, there will never be another one!"

Woohoo, I'm so embarrassed to say such things... Does the president think I like him?! It's all the fault of that idiot Hayasaka!

Shinomiya Kaguya read it almost word for word exactly as Hayasaka instructed.

It was perhaps because it was too much in line with her mood, so the words she said were very emotional and touching enough.

At least Natsukawa Kanade has been shaken.

“Thank you for your recognition…”

Nice! The president said thank you to me again! As expected, Xiao Ai is awesome!

Immersed in her own emotions, Kaguya Shinomiya didn't notice at all the complex emotions that Natsukawa Kanade had besides being touched.

There will never be another one? Is this a recognition of his ability? Or is it an affirmation of his uniqueness? So this is how Shigong sees him...

Xiachuan Zou felt warm in his heart.

Regardless of whether what Shinomiya Kaguya said was sincere, it undoubtedly touched Natsukawa Kanade.

This even suddenly reminded him of a fact that had been ignored all along - he had not yet confessed to Kaguya Shinomiya.

Whether it was the angels who were very close to him at the beginning, or Yukinoshita Yukino who always acted like she disliked him later, he had firmly confessed his feelings to them.

But this had never happened to Kaguya Shinomiya, she just kept testing him cautiously.

Maybe because his experience with Yukino was too similar, he subconsciously thought that Kaguya didn't like him either, so he chose to give up on his own. But what if? What if Kaguya actually liked him...

"Shigong, I have something to tell you..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, President?"

"Sorry, I think this may be a bit sudden, but I still want to say it clearly..." Xiachuan Kanade took a deep breath, clenched his hands tightly, and his tall body trembled constantly because he was afraid to hear the result.

"I……"

"Ya hello!"

The door to the student union room was suddenly pushed open, attracting the attention of the two.

A pink octopus head appeared in the doorway with a goofy grin on its face.

"So you're here? President, Kaguya-chan! Do you know what I just saw?! The little pigs in the breeding farm were chased up a tree, haha! And what's this?"

Fujiwara Chika stretched out her hands from behind her back as if offering a treasure, with her palms open, on which sat a hamster chewing melon seeds.
