All the people who like me are other people’s girlfriends! ?

Qingye put down the meat bun, thought about the girl's troubles, and said slowly:

“Efforts in love may indeed be fruitless and may even cause the other person to be annoyed, but if you don’t make any effort, there will definitely be no results.”

“It’s like running. If you don’t even have the courage to stand on the track, how can you succeed?”

The gloom between the girl's brows seemed to dissipate a little.

That's it.

“It turns out I was actually standing on the track.”

I don't feel that scared anymore.

Chirp, chirp.

The swing made a cheerful sound.

Children playing can be seen not far away.

"Thank you, Aqing. I'm glad I met you today."

She said something ambiguous.

"Humph, I, I didn't do this specifically for you, I just did it for Roubao's sake."

"I feel...Tsundere is not as good as Banana."

Lemon swung high on the swing, and the dazzling smile on her face seemed to be able to dispel the dark clouds in the sky.

"By the way, you still owe me a request."

Kiyono showed a malicious expression and stared at the girl like a small-time villain who would not survive more than two episodes.

"It's okay, I believe you. As long as you ask me, I will do it!"

She agreed readily. Banaijian often told her about Qingye's pure love stories.

"Damn it, what's going on with this inexplicable feeling of frustration..."

*

The creaking sound of the back seat bearing the weight is particularly crisp.

Burnt Salt Lemon sat in the back, his slender fingers pointing forward like a pirate chasing treasure. "Let's go!"

"Why do I have to take you home..." Qingye pedaled his bicycle with a depressed look on his face.

"Because I can't run anymore."

The athletic girl looked natural, and one hand was curiously measuring the muscles on his waist.

The bicycle swayed slightly, and Qingye's eyes twitched. Pay attention to the distance between men and women! Learn from Ba Nai Jian!

...Wait, the moment she saw Ba Nai, she was already beyond saving.

Qingye, who was already used to it, looked indifferent and continued to act as an emotionless driver.

Under the dark clouds, the girl took out a Snickers from her pocket and took a bite. Her hot knees accidentally brushed against Qingye's waist.

As she ate, she hummed an off-tune advertising song, and warm air quietly passed by his ears, carrying the sweet scent of chocolate.

I hope it will be a sunny day tomorrow.

...

ps: Two chapters with nearly 6,000 words, I’m exhausted.

...

036. Active feeding of Ba Nai

"It should be tomorrow..."

Seeing the seventeenth person taking out his phone to confirm the date, Banai muttered something under his breath.

At this moment, she heard the sound of a bicycle bell. The girl turned around and saw the familiar figure. A charming smile suddenly bloomed on her pretty face. She trotted over, and the wind raised by her skirt was mixed with the coolness of mint candies.

"Ah, young senior, this afternoon... eh?"

Her smile disappeared.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of something in the front basket of the bicycle.

Qingye parked his bike in front of the restaurant and greeted the girl. Yanaijian looked the same today as always, smiling like a blooming cherry blossom in spring. He was holding a plastic bag from the convenience store—wait? Why is today's bag twice as big as usual? How much stuff did you buy?

"This is not important, what is important is..."

Banaijian put the bag on the ground, reached into the basket and took out a small object - it was a girl's hairband with two dandelion fluffs wrapped around the yellow ribbon.

"what is this?"

She looked straight at Qingye.

For some reason, Qingye subconsciously stood up straight. After a brief thought, he suddenly realized: "Oh, this should be what Shaoyan forgot today."

"Lemon? Did you meet him today?" The blue-haired girl seemed to be thinking about something.

"Yeah." Qingye briefly explained what happened in the morning.

"Eh, ah, well..."

The series of interjections revealed the girl's delicate mood. She placed one hand on her hip and said dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't you invite me? My good friend's happiness is also my happiness!"

"There's no need for that, and you must be sleeping at that time." Qingye looked helpless.

"Hmph, forget it this time."

Banai saw that she had returned to her usual lively and energetic girl in the blink of an eye. She stuffed the hairband into her pocket and prepared to return it to Lemon next time, while Qingye helped her lift the plastic bag - it was so heavy!

The blue-haired girl put her hands behind her back. After the two returned to the lounge, she sat aside, frowning and looking at her phone.

"Good afternoon, Xiaoju-san." Qingye greeted the gloomy loser huddled in the corner.

"Afternoon..."

Biting my tongue.

He smiled and did not continue to provoke Xiaoju Zhihua. He picked up a book on the table and read it with relish.

The socially anxious lady who had been secretly glancing at Qingye also saw the cover of the book clearly, "Falling Stars"... This, this is a light novel she likes very much!

Xiaoju Zhihua stared at him, her cheeks slightly flushed. In her eyes, Qingye was undoubtedly a very popular and sunny person. There was a huge class gap between them. But she didn't expect that Qingye actually had the same hobby as her...

I couldn't help but laugh foolishly.

Qingye heard the noise and turned his head slightly, and saw Xiaoju Zhihua coming quietly behind him... Why are you walking without making any sound!

However, for someone with social anxiety to actively approach someone, it must have taken a lot of courage. He tried to keep his tone as natural and gentle as possible: "Are you interested in novels, Xiaoju-san?"

Eyes facing each other.

Xiaoju Zhihua quickly shrank back and hid behind a chair.

Great! He announced that the cute manga that's being serialized before my eyes every day has a new heroine!

Just when the atmosphere became slightly awkward, rumbling footsteps sounded in the lounge. When Qingye looked up, Yanai saw that the bow tie of his uniform was hanging in front of his cheek, trembling slightly with his breathing.

The girl was standing in front of the table, leaning forward slightly, looking at him seriously.

She said slowly: "Young senior, when is your birthday?"

——Normally speaking, an adolescent girl asking a boy about his birthday is a rather ambiguous event, which can easily lead people to think of gifts, divination and the like.

But Qingye didn't think so at all.

Because Ba Nai Jian's expression was more like "a doctor asking about a patient's age" than "a girl shyly giving a gift silently."

Qingye thought for a moment and replied, "September 14th..."

"Yeah, that means Virgo, right?"

Banaijian immediately took out his cell phone to search for something, then turned around and accurately took out an orange jelly and a red bean pie from the huge plastic bag.

"What's wrong… Ugh!"

Just as Qingye opened his mouth in confusion, the girl stuffed a big piece of pie into his mouth. The pie seemed to still have the fragrance of the girl's fingers.

While feeding, Yanaijian looked at him, his lake-blue eyes gleaming with anticipation: "Qingye-kun, eat quickly!"

On the contrary, it belongs to Tiangang.

Qingye ate the piece of cake with great difficulty and felt dizzy. He didn't know why Banaijian suddenly went crazy.

Xiaoju Zhihua, who was standing by, was silently observing the unusual interaction between the two people, and her face was full of confusion, because Yanaijian's mobile phone was right in front of her. She couldn't help but be curious and took a look at the phone screen.

"Today's lucky items for Virgo are: jelly and pie... Mmmmm!"

She softly read the words on the phone page word by word, but before she could finish, her mouth was forcibly covered by the ashamed and angry Banaijian from behind.

"Idiot, don't say it out loud, it won't work if you say it out loud!" Banaijian made a hushing gesture, her pretty face blushing.

Quick! Let me go! I can't breathe!

The hand on her mouth finally disappeared. Xiaoju Zhihua slumped to the ground, gasping for breath, while Yanaijian quietly took out a piece of colored paper printed from a fortune-telling website and carefully confirmed something:

"Hmm, if I face southeast and take three deep breaths, then eat the dried eel, I'll be blessed by the God of Novels..."

"Is it this direction?"

"wrong."

"Should be this……"

Qingye performed the above actions like a puppet being controlled.

At this point, after being fed continuously, he finally understood why Yanaijian had bought that large bag of snacks. They were ingredients for a sinister ritual! He was going to be sacrificed by Yanaijian! Xiaoju, save me!

In the setting sun, Qingye made a desperate sound like a humiliated knight.

*

The evening twilight dyed the lounge a tangerine color, and the breeze gently flipped the pages of the book on the table.

After a period of chaos, Qingye weakly gulped down a big mouthful of water and immediately felt his stomach even bloated - just now, Banaijian had tirelessly fed him a lot of snacks.

"You look so excited, are you a primary school student on a spring outing?" he complained.

Banaijian let out a lazy hum through his nose.

Qingye's gaze inadvertently moved to Yanaijian in front of him.

She seemed tired too, sitting in a chair in a trance, her chin resting on her folded palms. The setting sun slanted in through the window, coating her hair in translucent maple syrup. Her cherry-red lips glowed transparently in the sunset, as if permeated with fragrance, and there was a hint of snack crumbs on her cheek.

She seemed to notice Qingye's gaze, turned her head and smiled gently.

...I felt like I was struck by something.

Qingye couldn't help but turn his face away.

"It will be tomorrow." The girl spoke, her voice clear and ethereal.

Qingye instantly understood what the girl was referring to. He walked back to his chair, covered his face with the pages of the book, and after hesitating for a while, he answered vaguely:

"It will probably take another day or two."

He lied a little. He knew that the day to decide whether the manuscript would be accepted was tomorrow, but... he still didn't use a firm tone because he was afraid that Banaijian would ask to go with him.

Although he has great confidence in himself, what if the editor is blind and fails...it can be regarded as a man's persistence!

He can accept failure and can accept comfort after failure, but he still doesn't want to be seen in failure.

"That's it."

Banai seemed not surprised at all, and the smile on her pretty face remained gentle.

In fact, she understands everything.

Although she felt a little dissatisfied with Qingye for lying to her, she could understand his mentality.

It's ok.

She said quietly in her heart.

I'll wait for you.

Whether you succeed or fail, I will be with you.
