How does ordering someone to play with you become your girlfriend?

Chapter 43 A little secret between the two
Fortunately, Yuhua's reaction speed was still acceptable at this time. After being stunned for a few seconds, she quickly nodded.

After seeing Yuka's reaction, Shiori Nanamiya sat at the other end of the flower bed.

"Do you two know each other?" Zhao Yu asked in a low voice.

"I don't know? I think I saw her at the beginning of the school year?" Yuhua answered quietly as she sat back down on the edge of the flower bed.

"Anyway, we still don't know what she means, so don't rush to say you don't know her or something like that. Wait for her to say it herself." Zhao Yu thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Ueno-san?" Shiori Nanamiya looked at Yuuka who was talking to herself with some confusion.

"Ah! What's wrong?" Yuka quickly turned her head.

"You should act according to the situation first. Don't talk to me for now, or you will be suspected." After saying this, Zhao Yu temporarily muted himself.

At this time, Shiori Nanamiya's voice sounded again.

"You've already discovered it, haven't you?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that you would be in Ochanomizu." Yuka followed up on Shiori Nanamiya's words.

"Actually, I didn't expect to meet you again in this way. You should have recognized me during the interview, right?" Shiori Nanamiya turned her head and looked at Yuka silently.

"Ahahaha, of course." Yuka said with a dry laugh.

Now that things have come to this, if I reject her hastily, she will be very disappointed, right? Yuka quietly observed the girl in front of her.

Although she looked calm and composed, her hands were tightly grasping the fabric on the side of her skirt, and it was obvious that she was as nervous as Yuka.

Youhua couldn't remember where she had seen her, but as Zhao Yu said, if it was just a secret crush, she might not have come here for the date.

And judging from Shiori Nanamiya's current performance, she is not as scary as she looks on the surface. On the contrary, she is no different from an ordinary girl.

The cold and strong appearance always seems to be just a disguise. It must have taken a lot of courage to be able to put down the disguise in front of me and go to the appointment without hesitation.

So... remember it quickly... if you can't remember it, you'll always feel like you've let down your expectations.

Yuka stared at Shiori Nanamiya and racked her brains to recall every detail about the girl in her mind.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you when I first entered school, but I always felt that you would be surprised to see you in this state?" As she said this, Shiori Nanamiya showed a helpless smile.

"But I really didn't expect that even though I've changed so much, Ueno-san still recognized me."

Yuka didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say next. Maybe it was just like what Shiori Nanamiya said, it was because she had changed so much that Yuka couldn't recognize her.

Fortunately, Shiori Nanamiya didn't mind and continued talking on her own.

"It's great to meet Ueno-san. You're still as gentle as ever. I was planning to muster up the courage to say hello to you before the end of this semester, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to find me."

"Well...I'm not as good as you say." Yuka said a little embarrassedly.

Actually, I was originally planning to play the nice guy card, but now that Shiori Nanamiya has said so, I can only go with the flow.

"Hehe, in this case, my long-cherished wish has come true." Shiori Nanamiya showed a bright smile on her face.

"Finally, I've made friends with you, Miss."

Young lady? Yuka looked at the girl in front of her, and her smiling expression gradually overlapped with a figure in her memory.

Yuka was probably in junior high school when she first came to Tokyo. As an outsider from Kansai, she was always ostracized by her classmates.

It's not just because of her Kansai accent, but also because she is a country girl.

That's right, in the eyes of Tokyo natives, except for the 23 wards of Tokyo, basically everyone can be classified as a country bumpkin, even including Kyoto, the ancient capital. Even the Kansai accent is used as a joke in some anime.

Even Kyoto was like this, not to mention other areas in Kansai. So at that time, Yuka could be said to have completely shut herself off.

As the eldest daughter of the Ueno family, Yuka began to regard herself as a young lady, and deliberately ignored other classmates, thinking that they were all rude common people.

But there is one exception, the one who always follows Yuhua and calls her "Miss".

This is a very clichéd story. A young lady from Kansai who is isolated by her classmates meets a girl who is also isolated and is being bullied.

Perhaps because she had been suppressed for too long, Youhua burst into anger for the first time. After driving away this group of people, she successfully gained a little follower.

I still remember that at that time, the little follower often asked Youhua when they could be friends, but Youhua would always answer proudly that it was still a long way to go.

Unexpectedly, many years later, the aloof eldest daughter began to gradually become more tactful due to her family's lack of understanding.

And that little follower also changed from a rustic girl to the girl with a strong bad aura in front of him.

It turns out to be you... "I remember your last name wasn't Qi Gong?" Yuhua asked hesitantly.

After hearing these words, Shiori Nanamiya sighed.

"Actually my parents divorced after I graduated from middle school, so I take my mother's last name now."

"Sorry...Qimiya-san." Yuka apologized quickly.

"It's okay, but you, Ueno-san..." Shiori Nanamiya looked at Yuka.

"Just call me Yuka." said Yuka.

"Okay, okay, then Yuka can just call me Shiori." Nanamiya Shiori nodded.

"Yuuka, you've become much easier to get along with than before."

"Maybe she understands that sometimes it's better to blend in with the environment rather than just being aloof and keeping a distance from others." Yuka smiled unnaturally.

"So even if I'm like this now, are you still willing to be friends with me, Ueno-san?" As she spoke, Shiori Nanamiya extended her hand to Yuka.

"Actually, this sentence is many years late." Yuka held Shiori Nanamiya's hand.

Maybe it’s not too late to make up for my past dishonesty?
"It's getting late, shall we go back together?" Shiori Nanamiya asked as she stood up.

"You go first, I still have some things to deal with." Yuka hesitated for a moment and rejected Shiori Nanamiya.

This matter needs to be explained to Zhao Yu, otherwise he will worry.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Shiori Nanamiya waved to Yuka and walked towards the school gate.

"So after all this time, we are actually acquaintances?"

After Nanamiya Shiori left, Zhao Yu finally understood what was going on after Yuka's explanation.

"The main reason is that she has changed so much that I can't recognize her at all." Yuka recalled the appearance of Nanamiya Shiori.

“I always feel that it’s not just me, everyone is constantly changing…”

"But I didn't expect that Yuhua was like this before." Zhao Yu couldn't help but speak.

"What does it look like?" Yuka asked confusedly.

"She's actually that kind of tsundere young lady."

"That was when we were little! Things are different now!"

Hearing Zhao Yu's teasing, Youhua's depressed mood due to the memories was instantly swept away, and she retorted shyly.

"Oh~ When we were kids~ Can you show me that again? The one where we could actually be friends..."

Zhao Yu vividly imitated what Yuhua had just said to Nanamiya Shiori.

"Wulusai! Yujun, you talk so much today!" Youhua's face turned red.

She hadn't expected that things would actually unfold like this, which made the previous words very funny.

Isn't this just like those people who have great confidence in themselves? Fortunately, Qigong didn't notice anything wrong, otherwise it would be a huge embarrassment.

"Okay, don't be angry. Actually, it's not your fault. After all, what some people said was so suggestive." Zhao Yu thought of A Shui.

"That's right, it's all Jack's fault!" Yuka agreed.

On the other side, A Shui, who was training, suddenly sneezed. He scratched his head in confusion and continued to concentrate on the training game.

"But don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what happened today. Let's just keep it as a little secret between us." Zhao Yu said.

“Little secret…?” Yuka repeated the word with a subtle expression on her face.

In a sense, what happened today can't be considered all bad, right?

but…

"It's just too unfair for Yujun to know my secret. I also want to know Yujun's secret!"

"Ah? Mine? Let me think..."

Youhua, who was chatting with Zhao Yu, walked towards the school gate. Her shadow turned into three in the setting sun, and it looked like... she was accompanied by two people.
