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

Qingye felt inexplicably ashamed, coughed, and tried to hide his expression by drinking water.

"So what do you think of apricots?" Ono asked casually.

"How about what?"

"You've been working with Xingcai for a long time, right? How do you feel about her?"

He was surrounded. The older sisters surrounded him, making him inexplicably feel like a helpless little girl being looked at by four black uncles with smiling eyes.

It seems like these women won’t give up if I don’t answer them... Qingye felt a little numb.

"That's just the way it is... On the surface, she looks innocent, careless, gluttonous, and clumsy. But she's also a pretty girl..."

"Well, that's not what you said just now."

"And... just like the example I gave, she's a very gentle and considerate girl."

The girl outside the door's eyes gradually widened.

There was a flicker in her eyes, her hands were slightly clenched, and a fiery blush gradually rose and quietly floated onto half of her cheek.

...

ps: Thanks again for the treasure chest support, there is still one chapter.

...

040. Kiyono-san!

"By the way, were you too close to me today?"

In the lounge, Qingye glanced at the blue-haired girl next to him who was almost shoulder to shoulder with him, with a subtle expression - she actually moved a chair over, just like sharing a table at school.

There was a happy smile on her pretty face.

"Really? Maybe it's because you have a mysterious smell?" Banaijian said with a smile.

Qingye's heart tightened. Could it be that the smell from the internet cafe had soaked him in? He quickly raised his arm and sniffed it—there was no smell. He always showered before coming to the store every day!

Ba Nai Jian supported his chin with one hand and looked up at him:

"Qingye-kun, you should be free this afternoon, right?"

Qingye then realized that the girl was playing a prank and said speechlessly: "Yes, yes..."

"It's a rare sunny day today, come to our school! Let's go cheer for Lemon together, she seems to be having a competition soon." The girl's tone rose.

"I'm a member of society, why should I go to school?" Qingye stood up, distanced himself from her, and rejected her coldly.

"Society...Kiyano-kun, you know, you can go to a junior high school classroom now and no one will suspect you."

Ba Nai's eyebrows curved up as if his funny bone was tickled.

"Besides, you can visit the school to collect materials, so...isn't that possible?"

She spoke behind him, her voice changing slightly with each word, and finally became a soft and tender question like a girl.

“…It’s not impossible.” Qingye was convinced by the word “material collection”. After traveling for so long, it’s time to go and take a look at the legendary campus!

"Then let's set off."

The girl smiled like a flower.

"Hey!"

Soft clouds drifted slowly by, and the tip of Banaijian's leather shoe kicked a small stone away. The bouncing stone just startled the calico cat curled up under the blue cloth curtain of "Fujimori Fresh Fish Shop", and it disappeared in a flash.

The blue-haired girl, biting a popsicle, suddenly squatted in front of the glass cabinet of the pastry shop and said vaguely, "Qingye-kun, which one do you think is sweeter, the one with red bean paste or the one with peach cake paste?"

"Stop eating. You've eaten so much along the way. Don't we have to go to school?" Qingye sighed.

"I'm just asking, I'm not buying..."

Banaijian straightened up and hummed. The afternoon sun was warm, and even the streets became lazy. The two crossed the street and stopped in front of a big door.

"This is the legendary... high school!"

Qingye took a deep breath, just like a simple young man who grew up in the countryside listening to the legend of heroes and finally came to the stage of cultivating heroes, and couldn't help but have a pilgrimage heart.

I didn't expect that he would be so destitute at the beginning, but after going around in circles, he still got to experience being the protagonist... Well, it was indeed just an experience. After all, school life was still some distance away from him.

"Isn't this just a school you can see everywhere..."

Banai was dumbfounded and asked, "Where are you from, you mountain man?"

The cast iron fence in front of her was covered with mottled rust, and wisteria flowers were irregularly wrapped around the corners. She pushed open the door and walked in with Qingye.

Warm sunshine, lush green paths, reflections of trees scattered on the stone road, and the crisp sound of a bat hitting a baseball coming from the playground not far away.

This is where Yanaijian usually goes to school...

The image of Banaijian in uniform walking along the cobblestone road day after day seemed to flash before his eyes.

Qingye had just walked a distance when Banaijian suddenly took two steps forward. She folded her hands behind her waist, facing Qingye, and crushed the dead leaves in the cracks of the stone slabs with her heels. She walked backwards, looking at him with a smile, and her blue hair swayed slightly with her backward steps.

"Kiyono-san!"

The first tone is drawn out and the pitch is sinking, while the second tone is gently rising, which is sweet with a hint of frivolity, just like the flying white skirt of a girl in summer. This is a peculiar rhythm that belongs only to Banaijian.

The blue-haired girl stood in the shade of a tree. In the sunlight that couldn't really be called sunset, her radiant smile carried a touching warmth.

Ah, this was another side of the girl that he didn't know about.

Qingye stopped and suddenly had this feeling.

Although the two of them usually come into contact with each other at work, those two or three hours every day are just a short period of time for the girl. She is a high school student, and most of her youth has blossomed in this beautiful campus.

What will she be like in school?

The image seemed to automatically appear in her mind: she arrived at school yawning in the morning, greeted her classmates with a smile on her face after entering the classroom, secretly ate snacks after class, and shared a table with her friends for lunch. Because she had a big appetite, she would ask the cafeteria chef to give her more rice and vegetables, which often made her friends complain...

He worries about studying, does everything he can to sneak snacks, talks about love with his friends, and passes notes to his classmates in class.

What he knew about Ba Nai Jian was only a small part of her.

"Hey, hey, are you mesmerized by my smile?!"

While he was distracted, the blue sea otter walked up to him and stretched out his hand in front of him.

"How can it be."

Qingye rolled his eyes, slapped her hand away, and continued walking forward.

"Na."

Banaijian glanced at him nonchalantly and said softly, "Walking with this young senior like this, it feels like we're classmates..."

She was also thinking in her heart.

What would it be like if Qingye and she were in the same school and class?

...

ps: Update!

...

041. Will win, double date?

Their time flows at different speeds...

But she still hopes there can be more intersections in their lives.

With this idea in mind, Yanaijian took Qingye on a brief tour of the school building like a senior. Every time they passed a place, the girl would vividly show her side of herself in school with the liveliness and playfulness of a high school girl, while Qingye observed the details with great interest.

The old floor, the desks, the blackboard in the corner with the names of the students on duty written on it. This is the classroom of Hanaijian.

The blue-haired girl sat in her seat, patted the table at him with a smile on her face - she looked even more excited than he was.

In classrooms, corridors, old school buildings, and the faint sunshine, they left their traces on the campus bit by bit.

"This is Lemon's club classroom. The seniors in the track and field team are all very nice people." Banaijian pushed open a door.

"By the way, is it really okay for you to take me to the girls' club's locker room?"

Qingye couldn't help but say that a locker in front was covered with orange and yellow lemon stickers, which was very much in the owner's style.

"Yes!"

Banai’s eyes widened when he saw this, and he pushed him out belatedly.

When we arrived outside the playground, the warm sun had gradually turned into sunset, and the cheerful encouragement voices of the football club and the track and field club echoed in the playground.

"preparation--"

A clear command was heard, causing the two to stop and look subconsciously.

Through the rusty protective net, Qingye saw the girl on the runway. She began to lower her upper body, and with long breaths, the girl's body gradually tensed up, and an inexplicable force gathered in her petite body like water.

This is the preparatory action before running.

At this time, the setting sun cut through the gap in the clouds, giving her right side a golden edge and her left side a lavender shadow.

Lift your heels and exert force.

The moment he pushed off the ground, he seemed to see the red rubber particles on the starting blocks bursting in a fan shape between the studs. Lemon's forward-leaning body formed a dangerous angle with the opposite side, like a straight arrow shot out.

This was truly a run that could be described as a "gust of wind". Every time the girl stepped on the track, beads of sweat would slide into her spikes along the tight curve of the back of her thighs, and flying rubber crumbs mixed with sand would explode beside her.

The 100-meter track seemed to reach the end in the blink of an eye.

Passionate, brave, and shining.

When she crossed the finish line, Kiyono couldn't help but applaud - this was the first time he saw Shaoyan Lemon running seriously. She really had the charm and grace unique to athletes, which made him almost think he had run to the set of Uma Musume!

"Aqing, Banana, you guys are here to cheer me up!" Shaoyan Lemon also noticed them and trotted over, with a fresh fragrance mixed with grass and sweat blowing in their faces.

Beads of sweat hung on the girl's face. She smiled and bumped fists with Banaijian, then put her fist in front of Qingye and kept gesturing.

Qingye pretended not to see it. He was not used to this intimate way of greeting.

Seeing that he wanted to refuse, the two girls looked at each other. Banai tacitly held down his left hand, controlled his hand into a fist, and asked him to bump fists with Lemon.

"Why is it compulsory..."

Qingye pushed Banaijian away in dissatisfaction, looking speechless.

"yeah!"

Lemon glanced at the two of them with a grin, then said thoughtfully, "You two came to school together? Are you already dating?!"

"certainly not!"

The first to speak out in rebuttal was Yanaijian. She placed one hand on her waist, her lake-blue eyes stained a honey-colored hue in the sunset: "It's just that he insisted on cheering you up and begged me forcefully, so I brought him to school!"

you sure?

Qingye glanced at Banaijian coldly.

"Ah Qing, so you value our friendship so much? I'm so happy!"

Don’t believe it!

"Okay, it's decided. Before the game begins, I must break through the enemy fortress!"

Lemon smiled confidently, her black hair fluttering gently in the breeze, as if to say——

will win.

"You're too slow, Mitsuki! We agreed to meet at 10:00 AM, and it's already 10:30 AM!"

"Sorry, sorry, the bicycle at home suddenly broke down..."

A passionate and energetic female voice rustled in the background, followed by the sound of footsteps, which easily made people think of the scene of a girl jogging towards him with a smile on her face.

Since the voice could be heard so clearly, he should be next to the two of them, and then they greeted each other and acted together.

But Qingye looked at the young man and woman standing at the bottom of the slope in the distance, and then looked at Hanaijian beside him.

Today, Yanaijian was wearing a sky blue dress with a small bag slung over her shoulder, exuding a refreshing summer vibe. Of course, that wasn't the point. The point was...
