Start with Hayasaka Ai

The girls passing by immediately noticed the scene here.

As if they had discovered a new continent, they immediately set up MI6 and gathered together, chattering and whispering instructions in this direction.

"Is this a confession?"

"It's covered."

"The man seems to be the recently popular Baiyin, the one who ranked first in the first grade and wrote "Snow Country"."

"The girl seems to be a first-year, Hayasaka Ai. She's very popular because of her beauty, but she's a silver who surpasses the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family! It's said that her standards are very high, and no girl can successfully express her feelings."

"Will Hayasaka win then?"

"I don't know...shhh."

"Let's go somewhere else first. This place is too conspicuous."

Several people slipped away like the wind and hid in the corner to spy on the two people.

silver:"……"

They are not sisters, and it seems that there is not a single true word in their words. However, they can act out the plot like a campus idol drama with twists and turns by relying entirely on improvised lines. This is better than most of the current fresh-faced actors and melodramatic screenwriters.

Are you really not considering entering the entertainment industry?

What else could he say at this moment? He could only say nothing.

Shirogane's silence made Hayasaka Ai even more convinced of the rationality of plan B.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, blowing Hayasaka Ai's long hair scattered on her shoulders. She took the opportunity to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, her movements showing her fragility.

Taking this opportunity, she secretly looked at Baiyin's expression, trying to catch a sign of relaxation on his face.

At this moment of stalemate, a few more students came towards this side from a distance.

Hayasaka Ai's heart moved, and she immediately raised her voice again, saying in a tearful voice, "Shirogane-kun, I know I was abrupt, and I won't bother you again..."

Before she finished speaking, she turned and left, staggering as if she would fall at any moment, but she always caught herself before falling and slipped away quickly as if she was fleeing in panic.

This is my Hayasaka Ai's escape route!

Baiyin was too lazy to chase after him, so he just took off the hairband hanging on the branch, thinking of returning it to him the next time they met.

Just keep your fox tail hidden for a while.

Ms. Actress.

As for the spy team...

"Awesome!"

One of the girls wearing glasses pushed up her frames and said, "Now even being late for class is worth it, Kallen-chan. What do you think?"

"Shizuku-senpai, such a beautiful girl expressed her love from the heart and even broke down in tears, but Shirogane remained indifferent. This man's heart is as cold as a stone."

"But you can't force feelings. What if Baiyin already has a girlfriend? If he accepts every girl who confesses to him, wouldn't that make him a complete jerk?"

"I think what Erica said makes more sense," News Club Director Asahi Shizuku continued, "Also, Shirogane-san is actually a very warm-hearted person. How should I put this? Sometimes I even think he's silly."

"real or fake?"

"Of course. You know I drowned last week, right? Shirogane was the first to rush over to save me... Even though he can't swim, that's enough to tell a lot about a person's character. Kallen-chan, Erica-chan, I think Shirogane could be an interview subject for the next issue of the school magazine. What do you two think?"

Chapter 15 Is it too late? (Refresh the previous chapter)

“I can’t find it, I can’t find it…”

"How strange? It should have fallen around here, so why can't I find it?"

Hayasaka Ai lay on the grass, searching everywhere for her hair tie.

Because when she was fighting with Baiyin, she was so focused on her own acting skills and observing the other person's reaction that she didn't even notice that her hairband was rubbed off.

I didn't realize it until I went back to the classroom and took out a mirror to see if my makeup was smudged.

I came in a panic to look for the social media post and didn't even have time to attend my first class in the afternoon. I searched for half an hour but found nothing.

I also checked the lost and found office and the teacher's office, but all in vain.

"Wait, that hair band isn't valuable. Maybe someone passing by threw it into the trash can..."

Hayasaka Ai looked at the large plastic bucket in front of her.

Want to rummage through the trash?

The girl hesitated, not because she was afraid of getting dirty, but because she was worried about being seen by others.

Even a chic and perfect maid has a sense of shame! Just thinking about that scene makes me want to die of embarrassment.

But what Hayasaka Ai didn't want to do more than be embarrassed was to lose the valuable hairband.

"Ding dong ding dong..."

The melodious bell rang, indicating the end of the first class.

Xiuzhiyuan only has two classes in the afternoon, and school ends at 15 p.m. When school is over, a garbage truck will come to clean out all the trash cans.

Time is running out.

A trace of determination flashed in Hayasaka Ai's eyes. There were masks and gloves in the locker room, but there was no time to waste.

Just start rummaging through the trash!

Just as she rolled up her sleeves and was about to take action, her cell phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Fengbin and Hua, who were also members of the hot girl group.

Answer.

"Hey, Kazuka-chan, what's up?"

"Ai-chan, where are you now? There's a boy from another class looking for you. His name is..."

"Sorry, I'm very busy now and don't have time to see him." Hayasaka Ai, who was worried about posting on the circle of friends, hung up the phone.

In the first grade, she was quite popular because of her outstanding appearance, and boys would come to her from time to time to confess their love.

But these guys were all attracted by my appearance, buzzing around like bees attracted by flowers, with hormones in their bodies about to explode.

If there is enough time, we can also consider the other person's feelings and be polite and courteous, but now there is not much time left before the garbage truck arrives, so we must find the circle of friends as soon as possible.

Hayasaka Ai opened the lid of the trash can and started rummaging through it. Fortunately, the trash can was cleaned every day and there was no strange smell.

Speed ​​up! The maid is firing on all cylinders—

……

The afternoon sun gilded the pleated skirt of Hayasaka Ai's school uniform, but it also clearly outlined her awkward posture as she knelt on the grass - her left hand was almost completely inserted into the trash can, and broken rice grains fell on her cuffs.

In the impression of her classmates, Hayasaka Ai always looks like a girl who just walked out of a fashion magazine. Even her hair doesn't get messy when she runs in physical education class. But now she looks like a butterfly caught in a typhoon.

The shirt collar was tilted to reveal the slender collarbone, and the hair that was usually well-groomed was stuck to the sweaty forehead.

There were all kinds of trash scattered around, including mineral water bottles, leftover bread, banana peels...

In short, when Baiyin arrived at the scene, it was already a very lively scene.

"…Are we still late?"

He sighed like Minato Namikaze, looking a little lonely.

When it comes to things that need to be protected, even Yellow Flash Yongdaimei will be a step late, let alone herself.

Fortunately, even if I am late, it still counts as coming, which is much better than being absent.

"Hayasaka-san, you're looking for this scrunchie, right?"

Hearing this, Hayasaka Ai, who was fully devoted to the business of rummaging through garbage, looked up.

When I saw the hairband that I had been looking for for a long time and suddenly found, I wanted to reach out to take it, but my hands were already very dirty when I was rummaging through the trash can, so I quickly hid it behind my back.

At this moment, a white light flashed in the girl's mind, and she suddenly understood.

Yes, in addition to the places I thought of before, it is also possible that Baiyin picked it up and took it away. It’s just that I subconsciously wanted to avoid him and didn’t think of it.

I'm afraid that the call from Fengbin and Hua just now was also made by Baiyin, and they came to find me specifically to return the post.

I thought it was some man with explosive hormones confessing his love to me who was disturbing my trash picking time, so I hung up the phone decisively.

"Woo..."

The girl's face instantly turned red. Her emotions were so intense that the face-changing skills she had trained since childhood became ineffective. She became hot uncontrollably, as if blood was about to seep out.

"Leave the hair tie with me for now," Baiyin said. "Go wash your hands first. I'll have the janitor clean up the place later."

"Yes."

Hayasaka Ai lowered her head and followed him to the sink to clean the dirt on her hands.

He didn't speak a word the whole time and remained silent.

The reason is simple: shame is exploding.

When washing hands, I shake them.

Baiyin is naturally a considerate and kind person. When he saw that the air was silent, he took the initiative to speak and liven up the atmosphere.

"Although when I first found it I planned to return it to you next time we met, but after a quick inspection I realized that this hair tie actually has two layers."

"The outer layer is brand new, and the inner layer, while a bit worn due to time, has been well-preserved. I was thinking this must be something very important to you, Hayasaka-san."

"I came straight to your classroom to return it to you, but you didn't come back until the first period. I wasn't sure if I could leave it with someone else, so I waited until after class to look for you again, but you still weren't there. Furthermore, you skipped the entire class."

"It just so happened that Fengbin and Hana saw me looking for Hayasaka-san, so they took the initiative to call you, but you hung up halfway through the conversation. I was wondering if you would come here and keep looking... You know what happened after that."

"What's wrong, Hayasaka-san? Your hands are shaking even more than someone with Parkinson's. Are you injured?"

Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath.

Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, risking oxygen poisoning, but...

I can't calm down at all!!

It was a complete misunderstanding. The other party had obviously been trying very hard to find her and even posted something on social media, but she... It was not until her hands became a little cold after being washed with cold water that Hayasaka Ai gradually regained her ability to speak.

“…Ah, Ahri… Ahrigado…”

"You are welcome."

Baiyin returned the hair tie to its owner with a gentle smile on his face. Men's instinct is always to be more patient with cute and beautiful girls, and...

"As expected, a sincere thank you is more pleasing than acting~"

Chapter 16 The Eve of the President Election

into the night.

In an elegantly decorated room in the Shinomiya residence.

Shinomiya Kaguya frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes. She looked at the maid standing in front of her and asked softly, "Hayasaka, didn't I tell you to continue collecting information about Shirogane? Why are there rumors everywhere that you confessed your feelings to him?"

The girl was wearing simple home clothes, her long black hair fell softly on her shoulders, gleaming in the light.

She had been accustomed to having Hayasaka Ai by her side since she was a child. At this moment, she really didn't expect that Hayasaka Ai would fall in love with such a man. She couldn't help but secretly ridicule Hayasaka in her heart, thinking that Hayasaka had really poor vision.

Hayasaka Ai looked calm and said helplessly: "There's nothing I can do, because my peeping was discovered."

Her temperament in maid mode is completely different from that in gyaru mode. Wearing a maid outfit, the folds on her white apron appear exceptionally neat. As she spoke, she gently smoothed the hair by her ears.

"And then?" Shinomiya Kaguya asked, with a hint of urgency in her tone.

"Ms. Kaguya, do you know how to take emergency shelter?" Hayasaka Ai blinked and asked back.

"Of course," Kaguya Shinomiya answered without hesitation, raising her chin slightly, her face showing confidence in her memory.

"Necessary self-defense refers to the act of harming another legal interest to protect a larger legal interest from an ongoing danger, such as eating a nationally protected animal when starving to death... But this has nothing to do with your confession, right?"

Hayasaka Ai explained calmly and methodically, "There's a connection. Essentially, emergency avoidance is the lesser of two evils. In that situation, only 'a stalker with a crush on a girl' can reasonably explain my existence."

Shinomiya Kaguya raised her eyebrows slightly and questioned, "But there are also options of keeping silent and running away. Why do you have to confess?!"

Hayasaka Ai shook her head slightly and patiently explained, "That's too bad. And that would make me completely suspicious. It would be extremely detrimental to my work at Shuchiin for the next three years. Shirogane has a very sharp intuition and is very active. It would be a big obstacle to hiding my identity... Oh~"
