After returning to the classroom, Lin Xi greeted Miura Yumiko and the others before taking his seat.
The atmosphere in the class today was as good as ever.
Apart from Hayama Hayato feeling a little depressed, Tobé Kakeru and the others were still chattering around him.
Tobé Kakeru gives off the feeling of being flamboyant, with long hair and a headband.
Relying on being Hayama Hayato's friend, he often unceremoniously "borrows" newly bought manga from several otaku in the class and brings them to Hayama to read.
Tobé Kakeru is one of the people disliked by the otaku in the class.
But no one would trouble him, because he is Hayama's good friend.
And the reason for Hayama Hayato's depression.
Naturally, it was Miura Yumiko.
Although Yumiko greeted him as usual today, it was too normal.
The usual coquettish tone was completely gone, instead revealing a sense of alienation and formality.
She used to call him Hayato.
Now she calls him Hayato-kun, adding a rather distant suffix.
Tobé Kakeru even curiously asked him if he had quarreled with Yumiko.
He naturally said no.
How could they possibly quarrel.
Ever since Yumiko returned to the classroom with red eyes last time, she had started acting like this.
Hayama Hayato couldn't figure it out, not understanding what was wrong with her.
It is estimated that Hayama Hayato would not have thought that.
The fact that he had been using her as a shield all along, not intending to respond, was known by Miura Yumiko.
Miura Yumiko cares a lot about her friends.
Basically, she would not doubt anything her friends say.
And Hayama Hayato's behavior, while hurting her, also gave her deception and humiliation.
Why flirt if you don't intend to marry?
If he doesn't intend to date her, then Miura Yumiko doesn't need Hayama's gentleness anymore.
This kind of gentleness is poison, and she is afraid of being poisoned to death.
Since Hayama Hayato wants to be just ordinary friends with her, then let's be ordinary friends.
Nothing else is possible.
Her heart is already dead.
Miura Yumiko now has absolutely no hope for Hayama.
Hayama Hayato is also suffering in silence.
He is eager to change something.
But with his image, he simply cannot break the situation.
In fact, he is very afraid of Miura Yumiko breaking up with him.
This way, he would not only lose a shield, but also lose a good friend.
Yes.
Although he doesn't intend to date Yumiko, he sincerely treats Yumiko as his best friend.
It can only be said that Hayama Hayato is thinking too beautifully.
How can there be eternal friendship between men and women?
Perhaps there is.
But in Hayama Hayato's circle, such a thing simply does not exist.
While Hayama was depressed.
Miura Yumiko was discussing the plot of "Love Rhythms" with Yui and Hina.
She complained that the heroine was too stubborn.
She always likes to make the male lead guess her thoughts.
Then she gets depressed all by herself.
It makes her feel uncomfortable.
"If you ask me, Sayaka should be more direct and express her feelings!"
"If she doesn't say anything, how would the male lead know?"
"In the end, she makes a mess of things, so annoying, can such a person become the heroine?"
"When the time comes, I must give Kasumigaoka-sensei a good suggestion and make the heroine more frank."
Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh.
This Sayaka was created by Kasumigaoka Utaha based on herself.
She, someone who has never been in love, can write such a tortuous love story, which is already very good.
However, there has been no news of the second volume, it is estimated that she has writer's block.
Lin Xi also felt that he should give her some advice to brush up on his presence.
Looking at Miura Yumiko, who was still righteously indignant, Lin Xi felt that while she was cute, he couldn't help but sigh.
The popular queen has been successfully swayed by him.
She actually became obsessed with light novels.
Shiina Mahiru secretly glanced at him and smiled with relief.
Yumiko can't see any frustration from being heartbroken now.
Her man really has a way.
He actually diverted her attention with light novels.
Lin Xi quietly watched all of this, occasionally meeting eyes with Yuigahama Yui, who was peeking at him, and the girl immediately panicked and averted her gaze, her cheeks turning red.
And the dead-fish-eyed boy, Hikitani Hachiman, who was sitting near the corridor window, enviously watched others singing praises of youth.
"Hikitani-kun…"
Suddenly, a soft voice rang in his ear, and he looked up, feeling like he was in love.
He is Totsuka Saika, right?
He is so cute, but why is he a boy?
Hikitani Hachiman fell into a dilemma.
There was an outdoor physical education class today.
And the content was actually tennis.
Lin Xi was about to pull Mahiru to team up, but Miura Yumiko excitedly pulled Yui and Hina to team up together.
Tobé Kakeru also joined in with a loud cry.
Finally, Hayama Hayato's group also joined in and teamed up together to play tennis.
Miura Yumiko really showed off her skills.
She was the ace of the tennis team in middle school and also represented the school in the competition, winning second place.
The girl's figure on the tennis court was very eye-catching.
After the physical education class, Miura Yumi only felt refreshed, and she looked even more beautiful.
Lin Xi gave her a thumbs up and praised her tennis skills.
Miura Yumiko seemed very happy and also asked him to play tennis together again when they had time.
He naturally agreed with a smile.
Hayama Hayato's expression was awkward.
Because Yumiko didn't invite him at all.
Just as he was about to speak, Yumiko said apologetically:
"Hayato-kun, you still have to participate in the soccer team's training, right? It seems that I can only ask Lin Xi-kun to play tennis together in the future."
Hayama Hayato showed a bright smile, but he felt very uncomfortable.
He doesn't go to training every day!
He also has time to play tennis with girls!
But seeing Miura Yumiko already turning her head, chattering with Yui about playing tennis, he could only give up on talking to her.
Hayama Hayato was very depressed.
He felt that Miura Yumiko's change was inseparable from Lin Xi.
Thinking of Yukinoshita Yang Nai, whom he liked, now being so special to Lin Xi, he subconsciously clenched his fist.
Lin Xi, however, paid no attention to Hayama Hayato.
He started writing the Magical Girl project again.
Misaki Ueikusa's side was almost ready.
Eri will come over for a trial run on the weekend.
Unfortunately, he had to take Ogihara Sayu back to Hokkaido, so he probably wouldn't be able to see this tsundere twintail beauty.
But it's not a big problem.
As long as Eri joins Misaki Ueikusa and his game animation studio, wouldn't it be easy to see her?
Lin Xi has always been an ambitious man.
He was thinking of putting the Shiina sisters together.
He was also thinking about the Yukinoshita sisters.
But he still had to take it slowly.
He thought of being ridiculed by Yukino in the morning and couldn't help but smile mischievously.
Second Miss, wait for my tricks.
Unlike Hayama's depression, Kawasaki Saki in Class F, who didn't talk much and had a cold expression, was not calm inside.
She knew that Lin Xi already had Shiina Mahiru, and was intimate with librarian Sumireko Sanshokuin on the rooftop.
She knew that Lin Xi already had two girlfriends, and was still trying to woo Miura Yumiko.
What made her a little flustered was...
These past two days, Miura Yumiko seemed to really be interested in Lin Xi.
She no longer acted spoiled towards Hayama.
From time to time, she would blush and secretly look towards Lin Xi's side.
She would also deliberately go to Shiina Mahiru to talk, but the purpose was to get closer to Mahiru's deskmate, Lin Xi.
Lin Xi, this dangerous man, is too amazing!
Miura-san, who only had Hayama in her eyes before, has already been charmed by him?
Then wouldn't I, a girl who still owes him 1 million yen, also be in danger?
No, I, Kawasaki Saki, will never fall for a playboy!
Never!
After the third class in the morning, Lin Xi was assigned by Hiratsuka Shizuka to take the homework notebooks to her office.
Lin Xi felt that he was being targeted by Sensei Shizuka.
He guessed that seeing him and Mahiru being sweet, Hiratsuka Shizuka, this beauty nearing thirty who had always failed at matchmaking, was jealous, so she deliberately ordered him to do things.
Well, he was quite happy to do it.
However, Hayama Hayato smiled and came up to help share half of the homework notebooks.
Lin Xi understood that he had something to ask him, so he smiled and agreed.
On the way, Hayama Hayato hesitated to speak.
Lin Xi shrugged, "Just ask if you want to, indecisiveness doesn't seem like Hayama Hayato."
Hayama Hayato sighed.
"You saw through me."
"Because you're being unusually attentive, there must be something up. I've never seen you help carry homework before."
Hayama Hayato scratched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I was afraid of disturbing you and Shiina-san's time together."
"Then you've already disturbed us, so hurry up and say what you want to say, don't be shy."
Hayama Hayato looked like he had been defeated by him.
"I really envy you, being able to be so frank."
"Because I don't need to lie. Hayama-san, I think frankness is the most important thing."
Hayama nodded slightly in agreement, but he was destined not to be frank in front of everyone.
Taking a deep breath, he asked.
"Lin Xi-san, do you know what's been going on with Yumiko lately?"
"That day, she went back to the classroom with red eyes. Did something happen that I don't know about?"
"Oh, you mean that? It's because Yumiko thought you came to me to ask about her."
"I told Yumiko that you didn't mention her at all, but instead said that you had someone you liked, and that person wasn't her."
"And then, she became like that after coming back."
Hayama Hayato: "! ! !"
Hayama was stunned.
"You... you told Yumiko about me caring about Yang Nai-san?"
Was this guy such a pit?
He took back what he said earlier, he didn't envy his frankness at all.
Hayama felt that he couldn't get along with Lin Xi.
"I didn't tell her Yang Nai-san's name, I just said you have someone you like, and that person isn't her. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Lin Xi looked at him in confusion.
Hayama smiled awkwardly, "No, you did the right thing... I did the wrong thing."
Sighing, he said seriously: "Yumiko is a very simple person. If you and Shiina are dating, I hope you don't hurt her."
Lin Xi rolled his eyes at him, "Who exactly is hurting her?"
Hayama knew it clearly, but he still stood from a friend's perspective and stared firmly at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi nodded helplessly, "Don't worry, Mahiru and I haven't confirmed our relationship yet, so I won't hurt Yumiko, or more accurately, I won't hurt any cute girls I care about."
Hayama Hayato was speechless, "Lin Xi-san, why do I feel like you're greedier than me?"
"Yes, I am indeed greedier than you."
Lin Xi replied with a smile, suddenly stopping with Hayama.
Because in the corridor ahead, a girl with long black hair was walking slowly.
She was Yukinoshita Yukino.
Lin Xi thought of her words in the morning and didn't plan to greet her, so he and the complicated-minded Hayama passed by her, preparing to go to the office.
"Wait."
The Second Miss called out to him with a slightly red face.
In his stunned expression, she stuffed a piece of paper into his hand and said, "Remember to read it."
Then she ignored Hayama Hayato and turned her head and walked away coolly.
Hayama Hayato was also stunned.
Yukinoshita Yukino actually took the initiative to give Lin Xi a note?
What's happening to this world?
Lin Xi opened it and saw that it said: "Come to my club activity room this afternoon, I have something to tell you."
Hayama Hayato didn't want to talk anymore.
He felt that he should focus on observing Lin Xi in the future.
Perhaps, he could find a way to shift Yang Nai's gaze to himself.
Lin Xi was a little surprised.
He hadn't even started using the cat tricks in the cat bag on her yet, and she was already taking the initiative to find him?
For some reason, he was looking forward to the meeting in the afternoon..
