The heroines want to talk

"Shouldn't you praise me now?"

Xue Noi panicked all of a sudden, "I..."

Wei-chan chuckled, trotted behind Yukino, hugged her, and put his face against hers.

"I feel like Xiaoxue is the same as Mio-chan, she looks cold on the outside, but she's very gentle on the inside."

Xia Shi watched this scene and drank his tea silently.

Hirasawa Yui can always see other people's true intentions at a glance.

According to the conclusion he drew from his observations in the light music club throughout the past year, although Wei-chan likes to be close to others, she usually only does so with Ritsu. When facing the aloof Mio and the eldest lady Tsumugi, she usually does not get close to them casually.

This year's new member, Nakano Azusa, quickly gained Yui-chan's favor.

Perhaps she saw that Azusa Miao also liked to stick to each other, so in just over a month, Hirasawa Yui became her pendant.

Every time he went to the light music club, Xia Shi would see the two of them hugging each other at least once.

and so.

In fact, the Minister also likes to post stickers?

Looking at Yukino who was reluctant but actually willing, Xia Shi seemed to have discovered a new world.

The Minister's list of weaknesses has been expanded by one.

In addition to being afraid of heights and ghosts, one of the other reasons is that I am now unable to deal with the strong attacks from girls.

"By the way, Wei-chan, do you still have the cat ear accessories you gave Azusa-chan last time?"

Upon hearing that, Hirasawa Wei stopped sticking to her and let go of Yukino. At the same time, Yukino also breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully moved away a little, trying to escape from Wei-chan's clutches.

"there is."

“I remember you went out to buy it?”

Hirasawa Yui shook her head, "Xiao Zuohe did it himself."

Xia Shi said uncertainly, "Wasn't it possible that those costumes for the stage performances were also made by Mr. Yamanaka?"

"Those too." Hirasawa Yui nodded and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"..."

As a teacher, Xiao Zuohe makes maid outfits and dresses for her students. Although I can understand her ethics as an advisor to the light music club and her desire to do her part in the performance, but... isn't it a bit too much?

However, the maid outfit she wore when recruiting new members of the light music club this year was pretty nice.

Unfortunately, not many people came, probably because the welcome performance was too exciting, making it difficult for people to fit in.

"What about those doll costumes? Did Yamanaka-sensei make them too?"

"Yeah!" Hirasawa Yui seemed to like those doll costumes very much. "They look good, right?"

"It's...it's okay." Xia Shi felt that those doll costumes deterred 99% of the new members, but it was better not to say such things.

Hirasawa Yui asked, "Natsu-chan, do you want to wear cat ears too?"

Yukino seemed to have sensed what he was about to do.

He glared at Xia Shi.

Xia Shi said calmly, "It's not me who wants to lead the team. It's the head of our service department who wants to lead the team."

"Huh? Why?" Hirasawa Yui glanced at the top of Yukino's head, and the image of her wearing cat ears appeared in her mind.

The usually cold Xiaoxue put on cat ears and imitated the cat's meow with a blushing face... She looked so cute!

There seemed to be a mysterious light in Hirasawa Yui's eyes.

It was so dazzling when it looked at Yukino that she had to look away.

"I want to see it! Xiaoxue! I want to see it!" Pingze said in a tone that showed I was very curious.

Plan passed!

Taking advantage of the fact that the Minister is not good at dealing with Yui-chan, he forced her to wear cat ears that symbolize humiliation. Hehe, what a perfect plan!

Hirasawa Yui looked at Xia Shi, whose lips were gradually rising, and frowned, "Xia-chan, your smile is so sinister now, just like the villain in those animations."

"Huh? Is that so?" Xia Shi pretended to be stupid.

"You must be hiding something from me."

"No." Xia Shi took a sip of tea.

"Yes! Natsu-chan, you always lie to me! And you look away every time you lie."

You are very observant, Hirasawa-san.

What can I do?

Just when Xia Shi was struggling over whether to tell the truth.

Yukino said calmly, "Hirasawa-san, this is a bet between me and Natsumi's team. You don't have to care about it."

Hirasawa Yui became even more excited when she heard this: "What is it? What is it?"

"The loser will have to wear cat ears." Xia Shi said solemnly: "This is the cruel competition."

"Really?" Hirasawa Yui's eyes lit up, "How interesting!"

"Not really." Yukino denied.

"No way? Minister, you're not afraid, are you?" Xia Shi used provocation.

Xue No smiled coldly, "Heh, a simple provocation, but very effective."

"When you are given cat ears, just don't cry."

There seemed to be lightning and fire constantly interweaving between the two of them. Hirasawa Yui opened his mouth in shock.

"Can I ask everyone in the light music club to come and watch?"

Xia Shi and Yukino said in unison: "No!"

This kind of shameful thing must never be known by a fourth person.

Of course, this is not what Xia is really afraid of.

But everything has the possibility of failure, so it is better to be safe than sorry.

"Eh? What a pity." Hirasawa Wei felt a little disappointed, but after a few seconds she became happy again.

"Can I also take a photo with my phone as a souvenir?"

"No!" they said in unison again.

Hirasawa Yui looked at Xia Shi, then looked at Yukino, "Even though Yuki and Xia-chan are always arguing, they have a pretty good relationship."

Xue No: “…”

Xia Shi: “…”

----

After reporting the good news, Hirasawa Yui went back to the light music club. Xia Shishi didn't hear any sound of them starting to practice in the next ten minutes or so. The light music club probably entered their happy and joyful afternoon tea time again.

Xia Shi took a sip of the black tea brewed by the minister himself and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yukino also took a sip of tea and continued to flip through the book. She didn't take the bet seriously.

Now that I have said it, I must complete it no matter how embarrassing it is!

Besides, it’s not certain whether we will lose.

What kind of expression will Xia Shi, a member of the Xia Shi team who talks nonsense every day, show when he loses?

Yukino is looking forward to it.

She couldn't help but smile when she thought of this.

Yukino looked at Natsumi, and Natsumi also looked at Yukino.

The two people with ulterior motives understood each other's thoughts at this moment.

"We can't lose this competition!"

Chapter 117 Chance Encounter

The library was very quiet after school, so quiet that it was eerie and scary.

There were only a few students moving around in the huge library. Xia Shishi walked among the bookshelves, looking for Tagore's books.

Just like he said last time, most of the people who come to the library to review before the exam are opportunists who are just cramming at the last minute, praying that God can use so-called luck to help them get through the difficult times.

Now that the exams are over, there are indeed fewer people coming to the library to burn incense and worship Buddha.

The tables and chairs originally used for students to read have become clean, without any traces left.

Kato was sitting at the library, as calm as ever, with no sign of sadness or joy on his expressionless face.

It was as if there was a sad, thick barrier between her and Xia Shi.

I met a familiar figure in the library.

Small, golden twin ponytails...

Who is it?

Xia Shi turned around the bookshelf in front of him and saw Hagimura Ling behind it who was trying to get a book by jumping.

Xiaoling tried hard to stand on tiptoe, and her little feet kept leaving the ground.

Sad, so sad!

This is far more tragic than the story of the class monitor who couldn't erase the top of the blackboard.

The reason why Ayatsuji couldn't wipe the blackboard was not because she couldn't reach it, but because she didn't want to jump up and wipe it in such a humiliating posture.

However, Xiaoling couldn't get the book even if she jumped. The gap between the two had reached an exaggerated level.

Information about Xiaoling kept pouring out of Xia Shi's mind.

A child who returned from abroad, a genius with high IQ, a primary school student who always competes with me for the top spot in the grade.

Well, it’s a bit too much to say that it’s a primary school student, so it’s better to change it to, um, a junior high school student.

It’s neither too big nor too small, just right. Xiaoling should be very happy.

Trading a mere height for wisdom doesn't seem like a big loss.

Sure enough, balance exists among all things, Master Kennen is right.

"What are you doing standing there?" Ogimura Suzu stopped jumping and looked at Natsumi who was trying to hold back his laughter.

Xia Shi put away his smile and said calmly: "I'm here to borrow a book, what's wrong?"

Ogimura Ling pointed to the book above her head and said, "Help me get it."

"You should call me brother, right? Xiaoling, you haven't come to play with me recently, even though we live so close." Xia Shi walked over to her and helped her take the book down.

Ogimura Ling's face turned red, as if she was recalling some unpleasant past events.

"Can you please not mention that matter?" she said as she took the book.

Xia Shi touched her head, and this time she didn't block it like last time.

"It's so cute. It's like I'm back in the park on that day. The weather was nice and there was a balloon of an elementary school student..."

Xiao Ling quickly interrupted him, shook Xia Shi's arm, and said coquettishly: "Brother, can you shut up quickly?"

Xia Shi complained: "I don't want a sister with such a sharp tongue!"

Ogimura Suzu clenched her fists and wanted to punch Xia Shi.

When they first met, in order to prevent him from discovering the fact that she was a high school student, Ogimura Suzu thought of a good idea, which was to pretend to be an elementary school student.

It is embarrassing for a high school student not to get a balloon, but it is normal for an elementary school student not to get a balloon hanging on a tree.

That's what she originally thought.

But... Xia Shi and she are students in the same school.

The moment Ogimura Suzu learned Natsumi's name, she felt her life became a little darker.
