Zongman: The Qilin Child of Xuanyuan Family

Just as Xuanyuan Ning said, Shiina Mahiru was a little too anxious. She was anxious to write the story between her and Xuanyuan Ning into the book. She was anxious to write a well-known light novel.

What she is more anxious about is... achieving results.

Just like before, in order to gain her parents' love, she actively learned all the skills to disguise herself as a good child.

Shiina Mahiru is eager to achieve something and then tell Xuanyuan Ning that she has fulfilled her dream.

But this is wrong.

Xuanyuan Ning helped Shiina Mahiru find her dream so that she would no longer be confused about her future, not so that she would be anxious to prove herself.

Xuanyuan Ning put the wired earphones he was wearing into Shiina Mahiru's ears and quietly flipped through the book in his hand.

only...

"Ning, there's no sound in the headphones?"

Shiina Mahiru put on the headphones that made no sound, raised her head and looked at Xuanyuan Ning with a puzzled look.

"No, it has a sound."

Xuanyuan Ning pointed to the rain outside the window, then pointed to his heart.

“The sound of rain outside the window is sound, the beating of the heart is sound, and even our breathing is sound.”

"And what this pair of headphones does is simply connect us and allow us to hear each other's voices."

This is also the reason why Xuanyuan Ning chose to use wired headphones. Bluetooth headphones are connected through the air, and without the authenticity of this "wire", the sensory experience will be very different.

"Let's...listen to each other?"

Shiina Mahiru looked at the headphone cord that extended from her ear to Xuanyuan Ning's ear.

such,

Are you connecting me and Ning... together?

Suddenly, there was another voice.

The sound of Xuanyuan Ning turning pages of a book.

Shiina Mahiru seems to understand something...

Putting her head on Xuanyuan Ning's chest, Shiina Mahiru closed her eyes and began to listen to the sound of Xuanyuan Ning's heartbeat.

Strong, dull, and with a certain sense of rhythm.

original,

Can the sound of a beating heart alone give you a sense of security?

Before she knew it, Shiina Mahiru fell asleep.

"Good girl..."

Feeling that the girl in his arms had fallen asleep, Xuanyuan Ning softly called out "Zhou Zhou".

Zhou Zhou, who was lying at Xuanyuan Ning's feet, stood up and left.

Zhou Zhou came back and lay down at Xuanyuan Ning's feet again.

Xuanyuan Ning touched Zhou Zhou's big head as a reward, then covered Shiina Mahiru with the small quilt that Zhou Zhou brought, and at the same time carefully took out the earphones from the girl's ears.

The even breathing of Shiina Mahiru as she fell asleep peacefully was also a sound.

Chapter 78: Venomous snake? Little hedgehog!

"Hachiman, why are there such dark circles under your eyes? What bad things did you do last night?"

Looking at Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been yawning for the entire class and had dark circles under his eyes as dark as a panda, Xuanyuan Ning couldn't help but ask.

"Don't mention it."

"You'll know just by looking at it."

After another weak yawn, Hikigaya Hachiman handed all the novel manuscripts that Zaimokuza Yoshiki had distributed to him yesterday afternoon to Xuanyuan Ning.

He hoped that Xuanyuan Ning would accompany him to suffer this cruel torture.

I have to say, Shizuka Hiratsuka's lighter is not that easy to get.

The matter of the Ayaka Angel Tennis Club has not been settled yet, and another commission regarding Saki Kawasaki was thrown at me, and last night Yoshiki Zaimokuza was recommended.

After knowing that Zaimokuza Yoshiteru's request was simply to let everyone in the service club read the novel he wrote, Hikigaya Hachiman discussed it with Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui.

We decided to divide Zaimokuza Yoshiki's novel into three parts, and each of us would take one home to read, and then go to the club to discuss it after school today.

It's just a novel, simple and easy.

When he first received Zaimokuza Yoshiki's manuscript, Hikigaya Hachiman still had such naive thoughts.

When he got home and read the contents, he no longer thought so.

There is no pleasure in reading it, it's pure torture.

But for this commission, Hikigaya Hachiman forced himself to read the entire content of the document in his hand.

"dont see."

Xuanyuan Ning pushed back the manuscript handed to him by Hikigaya Hachiman without thinking.

Curiosity kills the cat. Seeing Hikigaya Hachiman in such a miserable state, you still approach him out of curiosity. Aren't you just asking for trouble?

"Tsk."

Seeing that his trick was seen through by Xuanyuan Ning, Hikigaya Hachiman took back the manuscript and clicked his tongue.

"Oh ha yo, Ah Qi, Xiao Ning~"

As soon as Yuigahama Yui entered the classroom, she greeted the two of them with full energy.

"Oh ha, little Jie Yi." Xuanyuan Ning continued naturally.

Hikigaya Hachiman did not respond, but instead looked at the energetic Yuigahama Yui, with suspicion written all over his face.

Logically speaking, Yuigahama Yui also has a manuscript from Zaimokuza Yoshiki in her hand, but it seems that Yuigahama Yui is in surprisingly good condition now.

This is very wrong.

The manuscripts in my hands can be considered a mess, so there is no reason why the manuscripts in Yuigahama Yui's hands are all excellent.

"Yuigahama, did you look at Zaimokuza-san's manuscript last night?"

Hikigaya Hachiman shook the manuscript in his hand towards Yuigahama Yui.

Alas.

Because of the excessive dark circles under his eyes, Hikigaya Hachiman's dead fish eyes looked even gloomier than usual, which scared Yuigahama Yui.

Yuigahama Yui habitually hid behind Miura Yumiko.

"Hikigaya-kun!"

Miura Yumiko, who was chatting in a small circle, protected Yuigahama Yui behind her and stared at Hikigaya Hachiman fiercely.

Although with Xuanyuan Ning's help, Hikigaya Hachiman is no longer the invisible figure in the class as before. But for the girls' group, Hikigaya Hachiman is still the shadow role he used to be.

Seeing Miura Yumiko spitting out her tongue at him like a poisonous snake, Hikigaya Hachiman's already depressed spirit suddenly perked up.

"Hehe... Sorry, Qi."

Noticing that Hikigaya Hachiman looked a little unhappy, Yuigahama Yui stood out from behind Miura Yumiko and scratched her face embarrassedly.

It was just a subconscious action of the girl, and she didn't think too much about it. After seeing Miura Yumiko's attitude towards Hikigaya Hachiman, Yuigahama Yui stepped in to ease the atmosphere.

Everyone in the class is not bothered to talk to Hachiman Hikigaya now, so Yuigahama Yui can naturally start talking to Hachiman Hikigaya in class.

"Humph."

Seeing Yuigahama Yui come out to smooth things over, Miura Yumiko tilted her head and snorted proudly, and at the same time poked Yuigahama Yui's head lightly with her finger: "Yui, you are just too gentle."

"No, Yumiko. Aki is actually quite good..."

Shaking her head in response to Miura Yumiko's finger, Yuigahama Yui smiled foolishly at Miura Yumiko and trotted towards Hikigaya Hachiman's position.

Watching where Yuigahama Yui went, Miura Yumiko sighed softly in her heart.

Yuigahama Yui and Ebina Hina sometimes really worry her, but everyone has their own choices, and she will not force them to change their minds.

"Yumiko really does look like a little hedgehog."

Xuanyuan Ning came to Miura Yumiko's side and spoke softly while watching the scene not far away where Hikigaya Hachiman was holding the manuscript to attack Yuigahama Yui.

After patting the shoulder to comfort the somewhat lost Hikigaya Hachiman, Xuanyuan Ning saw Yuigahama Yui walking towards him and consciously left space for the two of them.

Unlike Hachiman Hikigaya's opinion, Xuanyuan Ning felt that although Miura Yumiko dressed like a hot girl, her personality was a bit... like that of an old woman?

"Little Hedgehog? Why does Xuanyuan-jun think so?"

Yumiko Miura was not disgusted by Xuanyuan Ning being so close to her. Instead, she was very interested in hearing why Xuanyuan Ning said she was like a little hedgehog.

You should know that in school, although Yumiko Miura's nickname is not as loud as the two high-ranking flowers, she also has a nickname "Queen", which is very consistent with the personality shown by Yumiko Miura.

Miura Yumiko has a rather unruly personality and shows a rather harsh attitude towards outsiders who are close to her circle of friends, making those outsiders fear her.

But such a person as Yumiko Miura was called a little hedgehog by Xuanyuan Ning.

"Little hedgehog, it has pointy spines when it comes to people it doesn't know well, but when it gets to know well, it reveals its soft little belly."

"I feel like Yumiko is like that. She's very fierce towards Hachiman, a classmate she's not familiar with, but at the same time, she cares about Yui-chan."

"What's that word called... I think it's..."

"Madam?"

Xuanyuan Ning looked at Miura Yumiko who was looking at him and used a very appropriate word.

"Old... old lady?"

Miura Yumiko widened her eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Ning in disbelief.

She didn't expect Xuanyuan Ning to give her such an evaluation.

"What do you think, Yumiko?"

"Xuanyuan-kun, it's very rude of you to say that to a hot girl."

Yumiko Miura twirled her blonde hair, which had already grown past her ears, with her fingers and answered the question irrelevantly.

"Really? Yumiko really does look like a little hedgehog."

the other side,

Yuigahama Yui, who confessed to Hikigaya Hachiman that she didn't read the manuscript much last night, tried to cover it up by knocking her head and sticking out her tongue.

"Yuigahama, we're going to the Service Club after school this afternoon to share our thoughts with Zaimokuza..."

"This is the commission we accepted..."

Hikigaya Hachiman rubbed his swollen eyebrows. He really didn't expect that Yuigahama Yui would treat the manuscript in her hand so carelessly.

in addition...

Not far away, Totsuka Ayaka, holding a tennis racket, was also walking towards Hikigaya Hachiman.

Chapter 79 Two People, Two Ways

A tennis ball was thrown high into the air and then caught, over and over again.

Xuanyuan Ning stood under the shade of a tree, tossing a tennis ball in his hand boredly, looking at Hikigaya Hachiman and Totsuka Ayaka playing tennis under the scorching sun not far away.

"Yui is kind-hearted. She offered to help when she saw Totsuka Ayaka in the classroom. I understand."

"But why are you here too, little poison tongue?"

The tennis ball was thrown up again, and Xuanyuan Ning spoke calmly to the person sitting next to him.

Next to Xuanyuan Ning was Yukinoshita Yukino, who had found a chair from somewhere and sat down.

"If even a scumbag can come, then it's only natural for me, as the head of the Servant Club, to be here."

Yukinoshita Yukino said without even looking up.

After asking Xuanyuan Ning about his thoughts, Hikigaya Hachiman returned to the Service Club and had the same discussion with Yukinoshita Yukino.
