My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

Arriving at Shinjuku Station and boarding the train back, their hands remained clasped together.

After entering the carriage and finding an empty seat, Shiraishi Chiren leaned her head on Kurose Izumi's shoulder, seemingly exhausted.

Strands of her hair fell naturally over Izumi Kurose's shoulders, allowing him to smell the same shampoo as hers with every breath.

'I wish time could stand still at this moment, because she is so beautiful…'

Kurose Izumi turned her head slightly, looking at Shiraishi Chire, whose profile was partially revealed, and a wish formed in her heart.

But time is a strange thing; when you want it to slow down, it speeds up, and when you want it to speed up, it slows down.

The journey from Shinjuku to Chiyoda takes eight minutes.

But in Izumi Kurose's heart, those eight minutes felt like a minute, so short that it was unforgettable and left a lasting impression.

However, no matter how short it is, it doesn't matter.

Because they have countless eight-minute intervals left, and this kind of holding hands and relying on each other will not be the last.

As long as we hold onto hope and look forward to tomorrow with happiness, every day that follows will shine like the most dazzling gem, precious and invaluable.

When the tram arrived at the station, the two of them got off hand in hand and returned to their home.

The door opened, and the two looked at each other in unison, then smiled and said to one another:

"I am back."

74. Little Devil Shiraishi Chiren (Please continue reading)

We cooked dinner together tonight, and it was a very lavish meal.

Three dishes and a soup, plus a side dish—Shiraishi Chiren was in charge of cooking, while Kurose Izumi prepared the ingredients and assisted her.

Living together always requires planning, especially when it comes to housework.

They both wanted to take on the task themselves, but neither agreed to do so alone, so they agreed to work together to complete it.

Tasks like taking out the trash, preparing dinner, and washing dishes are done together.

As for cleaning the bathroom, each person takes turns cleaning it for one day.

As for house cleaning, it's done together every weekend.

After taking a sip of tofu miso soup, Kurose Izumi suggested, "How about we start making bento boxes tomorrow and bring one to Inari as well?"

"After dinner, ask Inari. She's a little shy, just like you."

Chiharu Shiraishi also drank some miso soup, then said meaningfully, "However, Kurose, you've become unexpectedly bold lately."

...This is definitely referring to the time we held hands on the way home, right?

Kurose Izumi pursed her thin lips and replied irrelevantly, "Then let's ask after we finish eating and washing the dishes."

"Deliberately changing the subject?"

"No."

"Then answer this: why did you suddenly become so bold?"

"Because, because..."

Under Shiraishi Chiren's gaze, Kurose Izumi scratched his head, his face slowly turning red, unsure how to respond.

He really wanted to muster the courage to say "I like you" again, but it felt too frivolous.

You can't say "I like you" too often, because the impact will fade with each repetition.

If he talks too much, and one day he confesses his feelings earnestly but receives a bland response, he will feel somewhat disappointed.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Shiraishi Chiren rested her chin on her hand and laughed. "I know everything."

"Do you know why you didn't give me an answer?" Kurose Izumi muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Hmm? What reply? I don't know what you're talking about." Shiraishi Chiren smiled slyly.

"Shiraishi, you..."

Kurose Izumi choked back a sob, feeling a bitter taste in her mouth.

So this is what Shiraishi Chiren is like?

She has an unexpected mischievous side.

However, he didn't dislike it; in fact, he thought it was quite nice, like flirting and teasing each other.

Because one day, he will muster up the courage to confess his feelings again when the atmosphere and timing are right.

At that time, Izumi Kurose will definitely make Chire Shiraishi feel shy and embarrassed, and stammer like him!

"Hum..."

Shiraishi Chiren looked at Kurose Izumi, whose face was resolute as if she had made some kind of decision, and chuckled softly.

She could tell at a glance what Kurose Izumi was thinking, and she also looked forward to that day.

Who will be the wolf and who will be the sheep at that time is uncertain.

High-level hunters often appear as prey.

All along, Shiraishi Chiren's actions have been intentionally guiding Kurose Izumi, but Kurose Izumi has been oblivious to this.

Now that he has fallen in love with Shiraishi Chiren, he naturally tends to subconsciously overlook many details.

After finishing dinner, we washed the dishes together, took turns showering, and did our homework. It was 9:30 o'clock.

The two, who were still not sleepy, took out the laptops that had just been delivered that evening, set them up for a while, and started playing games online.

Previously, because there was only one computer, we couldn't play multiplayer games together and had to take turns, which wasn't very enjoyable.

They chose League of Legends, and their rank was... Challenger!

Shiraishi Chiren's account was at the King rank, and Kurose Izumi borrowed her alternate account, which was also at the King rank.

To be honest, the skill level of the Challenger players on the Japanese server isn't very high; they seem to be at a similar level to Diamond Masters in China.

Even though Izumi Kurose hadn't played this game in a long time and only knew the character's skills and controls, she still managed to go toe-to-toe with the opponent.

Perhaps this is also thanks to Shiraishi Chirei.

They started a ranked game, and the heroes they chose were the magical cat and the policewoman—Kurose Izumi playing with cats.

This was requested by Shiraishi Chiren; he originally wanted to play a tanky support with a shield, crowd control, and high survivability—Pantheon.

Their lane matchup is Thresh and Draven, a very strong combination.

"Don't rush down to refresh your shield, because the enemy has three crowd control skills. If they get caught out even once, it will be difficult for us to fight."

"Also, be careful with your mana. We can't win in the early game no matter what, so wait for your teammates to support you or wait for me to find an opportunity, understand?"

Kurose Izumi remembered what Shiraishi Chiren had said to him during the loading screen, and he felt a little nervous.

He was afraid that he would ruin Shiraishi Chiren's game, causing her to go to jail and making her unhappy.

But in reality, this is an unnecessary worry.

Chiharu Shiraishi's gameplay was excellent; her reactions were quick, and she consistently maintained her auto-attack distance to trade blows with Draven.

Once Thresh pushes forward, she will cautiously retreat, maintaining a distance from being controlled by his E-Flash.

Then, go back and tap Thresh twice to whittle down his health.

With this back-and-forth exchange of blows, the opponent, lacking any healing abilities, quickly became overwhelmed and was forced to farm under the tower.

Shiraishi Chiren's traps were placed in particularly tricky positions, causing Draven to be worn down every time he landed a hit.

When our bottom laner reached level 6 and the enemy reached level 5, with both their health and mana at half capacity, our jungler ganked the mid lane.

Although they didn't catch anyone, they helped push the mid lane, allowing the two waves of minions that had been accumulating in the mid lane to push into the tower.

Then, Nakano headed to the bottom lane and sent a signal that he was on his way.

Shiraishi Chiren understood immediately and tapped the other party's healing skill to indicate that it had already been used.

Meanwhile, the enemy bot laner knew they were about to be ganked by four, so they stopped farming minions and hid in a safe spot under the tower, calling for their teammates.

If they don't take advantage of this wave of minions and choose to return, they'll lose two waves of troops, which will be very difficult.

So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to see if I could reverse the process.

But it was too late.

Our mid laner is Galio, and our jungler is Nidalee; both are extremely mobile.

Galio activates Predator, starting with the blue team's toad.

At this moment, the bushes under the frog and the blue team's bottom lane turret both lit up with blue and red beams of light!

"Kurose, speed up! We can't fall behind our teammates!"

"Okay, okay..."

Shiraishi Chiren watched as Thresh walked backward and tossed the lantern to Draven, then decisively flashed forward and threw a ward at the lantern.

rub--

With two soft clicks, two wards were placed in the center of the lantern, preventing Draven from attacking the wards and activating the lantern!

Then, he had no choice but to use Flash to dodge Galio's W, but he couldn't dodge the subsequent Justice Punch.

Then, Nidalee unleashed a Q from its maximum range, precisely striking Draven and causing his health to drop to 200.

At that moment, Draven was marked by the red line of Caitlyn's ultimate ability, and he was utterly desperate.

Thresh was some distance away from him, and even if he flashed to block the bullet, Nidalee would pounce on him and bite him to death!
