If I don't capture the girl, I will die

Even though she had chatted with him via text message two days ago, but now...what should she say?

Maki's little head was a little confused.

It would be fine if it was just Ji Qi alone, but there was also Yukinoshita Haruno next to him.

It's so troublesome to socialize with family members whose relationship is not that good. You have to maintain etiquette at all times, otherwise it will be embarrassing for parents if they hear about it.

She cannot be willful.

Although Nishikino Maki behaves like this, she actually loves and respects her parents very much.

"Ms. Nishikino, good afternoon. What a coincidence, we meet again." Ji Qi, who could more or less guess what the relationship between the two was and what Nishikino Maki was feeling now, took the initiative to greet her and helped her out.

The other party started a conversation, and Maki quickly seized the opportunity to talk, "Senior, good afternoon."

"Hey? So you two know each other? I was just about to introduce you to each other..."

Although he knew that Yukinoshita Yang was pretending, Ji Qi still nodded.

Of course, Nishikino Maki next to her couldn't deny it either.

"Wow, that's such a coincidence?" Yukinoshita Haruno sighed, and it seemed like her words came from the bottom of her heart.

"It's quite a coincidence indeed."

Ji Qi echoed. Zhen Ji next to him was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

I feel like I can’t get a word in, and I don’t want to talk…

"Since we've met, let's go find a shop to have a drink. I haven't seen Maki-chan for a long time, so I want to have a good chat with her~"

Ji Qi had no objection. It was a rare opportunity for him to meet Zhen Ji, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Zhen Ji.

Well, after Yukinoshita Haruno left.

Although she wanted to go home very much, Nishikino Maki agreed.

She took small steps and walked silently beside Ji Qi, instead of beside Yukinoshita Haruno.

An unintentional little action exposed the inner thoughts of this simple girl.

……

(￣_,￣ )

Chapter 139 Overturned!

An ordinary afternoon tea shop.

"Huh? It turns out that Ji Qijun can play the piano?" Sitting in the seat by the window, Yukinoshita Haruno leaned forward. The light makeup on her face and her big blinking eyes were extremely lethal.

No wonder Yukinoshita Haruno is so popular. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you have a normal aesthetic sense, seeing such a beautiful woman exclaiming for a little thing of yours, even the coldest person will feel a sense of accomplishment, right?

Basically no one would hate to be friends with such a person.

Well, in the final analysis, it all comes down to appearance.

"I learned it when I was a child." Ji Qi answered after looking at Nishikino Maki who was sitting next to him and seemed very nonchalant.

From just now until now, Maki has rarely spoken.

Only when Yukinoshita Haruno turned the topic to her would she say a few brief words.

However, the atmosphere was inevitably a bit cold.

So, Ji Qi took the initiative to chat with Yukinoshita Haruno on her behalf.

This small and thoughtful gesture actually made Maki somewhat grateful.

Maybe it was because it was the weekend, the stores in this modern shopping mall were packed with people.

At this time, the waiter came late.

The staff in work clothes bowed and apologized before handing them the menu.

Ji Qi was the first to say it was okay. The three of them ordered something casually, and finally he returned the menu to the waiter.

what.

I have to say, the waitresses in this store are pretty.

She has a beautiful appearance, her brown hair is simply tied into a ponytail, and she has a cheerful smile on her face.

He must be a student working part-time.

By the way, Japanese students seem to be particularly fond of part-time jobs.

The real lack of money is partly the reason, but more likely it is to prove to parents and friends that one has grown up.

After just a glance, Ji Qi looked away. What does it have to do with him if others are good-looking...

"Tsk tsk...the acquaintance between Ji Qijun and Xiao Zhenji is really like something in a romance novel." After the waiter left, Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile on her face, supporting her cheek with one hand.

Hearing this, the thick-skinned Ji Qi was fine. But Xikino Maki, who had rarely heard such teasing, immediately felt angry and subconsciously said, "This guy and I are not that kind of relationship!"

Hey, he rejected it cleanly?

To be honest, as a former cultist of Zuichou Zhenji, Ji Qi was still a little hurt.

And Maki didn't even use the honorific title...

"Then my sister will be relieved."

Hey, your real purpose has been exposed, right? Is it really okay, Ms. Yang No?

The corners of his mouth twitched. Did Yukinoshita Haruno's move break the flag between them in one go?

In fact, there is no need for this at all.

Although he likes Nishikino Maki, it is not the kind of love between men and women.

Plus, since he already has so many heroines, he said he would never mess around with other girls again!

The unconventional answer and the tsundere words that came out of her mouth made Nishikino Maki a little confused.

Are they a couple? And if I accidentally said something like this to my senior, he wouldn't be angry...

buzz-

The phone in her pocket eased Maki's stiffness to some extent.

Although she didn't know whether it was a spam message or who sent it, she still expressed a little gratitude to the other party.

Seeing that the two people in front of her started chatting and laughing again, Maki pretended to take out her cell phone.

She seemed to have found a good way to pass the time.

"Maki-chan, what are you doing right now? We are in the shopping mall. Do you have time to play together? - by Honoka Kousaka."

This idiot...

The corners of Nishikino Maki's mouth involuntarily curled up into a small arc.

It was embarrassing to talk about it, very embarrassing, so shy that she even wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

After a series of events, she has now... joined μs.

Although she was always arrogant, she couldn't fool herself. They were friends now.

She loves spending time with the girls at μs.

She likes them all, whether it's the always impulsive and cheerful Honoka, the steady and generous Sonoda Umi who occasionally shows off her amazing facial expressions, the gentle Minami Kotonari, or Hanayo Rin who is the same age as her.

By the way, just now Kousaka Honoka said that we are in a shopping mall now?

Are they in the same place?

This must be the case. After all, their homes are very close and the only shopping mall nearby is here.

Isn't this a good opportunity...

Nishikino Maki was a little tempted.

I should be able to get away with this good excuse, right?

But, let’s just forget it.

I'm embarrassed to speak.

If it was someone like Hime Nana or Yukinoshita Haruno, they might have had such a good reason and would have just blurted it out...

After thinking about it, Nishikino Maki replied to Kousaka Honoka indifferently: "Not interested, you guys go play, I'm practicing the piano at home."

Textbook tsundere.

In fact, she was very happy when she was invited out to play by her recognized friends.

I feel a little guilty for deceiving them.

By the way, maybe I will bump into them suddenly later...

Well, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

When Nishikino Maki came to her senses again, there were already a lot of snacks and drinks on the plastic table in front of her.

French fries, burgers, everything.

They all look like what ordinary students would eat.

Even though she is a typical young lady, Nishikino Maki is not averse to this kind of cheap fast food and occasionally goes there to eat it once or twice.

She opened a bag of ketchup, stretched out her slender fingers, picked up a French fry, dipped it in some, and put it into her mouth.

After taking another sip of the iced drink, Maki, whose previous depressed mood had almost dissipated, looked out the transparent window.

埃？

Eeheeeh?

What is this… ?

Could it be that she is dazzled?

No, no, no, there is no way she could make a mistake with such a striking hairstyle and hair color!

Maki Nishikino widened her upturned almond-shaped eyes.

If she read it correctly...

Opposite the afternoon tea shop in this shopping mall, the extremely conspicuous Kousaka Honoka and her group are picking things out in that store!

He looks quite happy from the side profile.

Thinking something was wrong, Nishikino Maki quickly lowered her head and pulled Ji Qi's sleeve.

"Senior, let's change seats..."

"Huh? No problem. But what happened suddenly, Ximunye?" Ji Qi agreed first, and then asked in confusion.

Nishikino Maki just shook her head desperately.

"Okay." Ji Qi didn't ask any more questions about such a small matter and pretended to change seats with the other party.

But Nishikino Maki was sitting in the innermost window seat.

No matter what, they had to have physical contact in this not-so-big place.

When Ji Qi wanted to talk to Zhen Ji about this problem, he saw a girl with a pale face...

Uh...

It's too late, senior...

……

Chapter 140 So familiar!

What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do——

Now I have no choice but to admit that I lied.

Oh, come on, I was caught right after I said that. It feels so embarrassing!

I am still a little bit scared. I hope they won't misunderstand me...
