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

"Summer vacation is almost half over, why didn't anything I imagined happen..." Banaijian lay on the table in the lounge, secretly staring at Qingye in the corner with a depressed expression.

It’s true that she doesn’t want to participate in the club’s beach drama, but it’s not that she doesn’t want to... ahem.

During the summer vacation, she had more free time, but Qingye had less time, and the clocks of their time were always subtly out of sync.

That's fine, after all, Qingye is still settling in! There's still plenty of time during summer vacation!

Thinking of this, Banai stood up full of energy, took something out of his backpack, then walked to Qingye and gently placed the thing on his head.

Qingye took it down in confusion and looked down - what caught his eye was a sky blue lunch box with "For Qingye Only" written on the lid in waterproof pen, and a little Corgi like No Taro's was drawn next to the handwriting.

The blue-haired girl lifted the hair beside her ear, and for a moment her elegant temperament seemed like a Yamato Nadeshiko:

"You were using that makeshift plastic lunch box before, right? I bought this for you. Use this from now on!"

"oh oh……"

Qingye blinked.

"Starting tomorrow." Banaijian narrowed his eyes and smiled, his fangs flickering coldly between his lips. "If you dare use this to pack a convenience store lunch... I'll use a megaphone to yell at you at your book signing that you're an idiot!"

"I see……"

Qingye muttered quietly.

"Ok!"

The girl put one hand on her waist and smiled brightly.

"Kiyono-kun, this illustration is the final version. What do you think?"

At night, in the Internet cafe, the computer screen in front of Qingye displayed the chat information with the editor. The next second, the other party sent a beautiful character design picture.

He controlled the mouse and zoomed in.

Then, his pupils gradually widened as if lighting up.

It was as if a living girl appeared before him.

Cold, proud, and high and mighty, nothing can tarnish its beautiful high-mountain flower.

Stable.

This is definitely one of the top painters in the industry.

Qingye was silent for a while and slowly tapped the keyboard.

"Thanks, my brother said he liked it very much."

"...Hmm? You have a brother? By the way, this artist is truly an incredibly beautiful girl. Furthermore, she was the one who offered to be in charge of your work. I'm starting to wonder if you're really the protagonist of a romantic comedy!"

Two days later, Qingye received a package.

He put it on the table in the lounge and unpacked it.

A small book appeared in front of him.

The book's binding is exquisite. Under the bright moon, a dark-haired girl looks awe-inspiring, her hair shimmering with the starlight, like a manifestation of another world. Soft brushstrokes also write the beautifully designed title on the cover, with the author's name right next to it.

This is his book.

The hopes once placed on us.

It's the result of several months of hard work.

Qingye subconsciously reached out his hand and stroked the hard cover of the book, feeling a lot of emotion.

This is a pre-publication sample book - the library company will send some unique samples to authors and other participants before the book is sent to bookstores.

He only asked the company for two copies.

The first one is for...

"I don't know when I can send it out." Qingye picked up the book, as if looking into the eyes of the girl on the cover, as if seeing the bright moon of that day. He was slightly lost in thought and sighed softly.

As for the other book.

"Let's give Lao Ba a little surprise today."

Qingye carefully put the book in his hand away and took out another sample book. As if thinking of the girl's expression when she picked up the book, Qingye's lips also outlined an expectant smile.

?

P.S.: A new January has arrived, Saki, I have to start working hard. (Fist

055. You want to send me a love letter?! [Two-in-one]

"W-what! You said you had something important to give me!?"

Banai saw that the sudden scream attracted strange looks from the seniors in the lounge.

Could this be the legendary love, the love letter... But isn't this too sudden? Isn't there usually some foreshadowing before such an important step? And it's too early!

"Don't add anything important without my permission. I just said I have something to give you..."

Feeling the gazes from all around him, Qingye was speechless. He wanted to call her out just to avoid this situation!

"I, I know!"

Banaijian took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

"I just want to borrow some books, so let's go to the library." Qingye suggested.

Picture, library?... The blue-haired girl nodded silently and followed him.

The library in the afternoon was quiet and filled with an air of wisdom. Dust drifted gently in the slanting beams of light, and the air was filled with the scent of paper... In that instant, countless images flashed through Banaijian's mind: a boy blushing as he bent over to hand a love letter to his beloved girl under the setting sun, sincere words spoken carelessly when face to face, the dancing shadows of the trees outside the window...

"for you."

The clear voice brought the girl back to reality suddenly. She raised her head nervously and saw Qingye in front of her taking out... a book from the bag?

"what is this?"

Banaijian looked down at the book and didn't react for a moment. He just subconsciously stroked the name in the author column with his fingertips.

"My book."

"Oh, it's the young senior's book. I see. I thought it was about love... Wait a minute!"

The blue-haired girl's eyes widened, her voice trembling for some reason. "Your book!?"

"Yes, sample book." Qingye said with a smile.

"Kiyono-kun...was this the first one given to me?"

Slender fingers clenched the cover, and Banaijian suddenly spoke, her blue eyes like the sea looking directly at him quietly, with his reflection clearly reflected in her eyes.

For some reason, under the gaze of these eyes, Qingye felt a little nervous. He looked away and explained unnaturally:

"Since you're the closest, I just gave it to you. Consider it a return gift for the lunch box you gave me last time... Anyway, as a great writer, I'm sure I'll give away countless copies in the future!"

"I see... I will cherish it."

The book in his palm seemed to emit a burning heat. Banaijian held the novel in his arms, and a faint blush appeared on his snow-white cheeks.

The down on her cheeks was immersed in the tipsy sunlight, and the small indentation on her lower lip caused by her teeth gradually loosened. In the quiet library, the girl showed a touching and shy smile.

Tsk...don't suddenly make such a cute expression. This is not a love letter. I don't know how to react!

Qingye scratched his head.

As if she had noticed his gaze, Banaijian covered the lower half of her face with a book, leaving the exposed corners of her eyes curved into a crescent shape.

"I'll go get two books..." Qingye stood up silently and walked to the bookshelf beside him.

The blue-haired girl gently opened the first page of the book.

After he came back, Banaijian seemed to have become the lively foodie girl she usually was. The table was full of snacks, but she ate the snacks much slower than usual today, and she would wipe her hands carefully twice with wet wipes and paper towels every time she took something with her fingers.

"Mr. Qingye, when will your book be officially on sale?" The girl looked up at him.

"It will probably take more than half a month." Qingye thought for a moment and replied.

Banaijian hummed, then put down the book, tilted his head, put the tip of the pen to his lower lip, and said with a smile:

"As the first reader, shouldn't I have some privileges? Like an autograph or something..."

"It's easy to talk about."

Qingye took the pen readily - he had been secretly researching what style to use for his signature at future book signings. Just to surprise the girl, he opened the paperback and wrote his name in a flamboyant style in the blank space.

"Is there something missing?" The girl looked at it and was a little dissatisfied.

"what do you want?"

"For example, add a heart at the end or something..." Banaijian blinked.

"That's too mean." Qingye rolled his eyes, ignored her words, and returned the novel to her.

The blue-haired girl didn't force it, but chose to pick up the pen and add it herself.

"finished!"

She hummed twice and looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction. Qingye glanced at her and let the girl entertain herself.

Having obtained what he wanted, Banaijian gradually calmed down, his fingers gently turning the pages, reading word by word. The two of them seemed to truly blend into the atmosphere of the library, and even the second hand of time slowed down slightly.

At a certain moment, Banaijian suddenly stretched out his foot from under the table and gently kicked his leg.

"What's wrong?" Qingye asked curiously.

"Teacher Kiyono, I've discovered something." The blue-haired girl's expression was serious, and her breath was slightly moist. "The heroine's name in this book should be changed to Yanaijian!"

Qingye's mouth twitched.

The lower woman!

The summer vacation passed smoothly day by day.

There were no beaches, no swimsuits, no summer festivals, only sweat and labor, and endless discussions with editors...

Oh, and there's also a sporty girl running.

Recently, Shaoyan Lemon has often come to see Banaijian - or rather, to play with the two of them. As for the period before that, she happened to have gone back to her hometown.

——If asked who is the girl with the most summer vibe around him, Qingye would vote for Lemon without hesitation.

Her healthy tanned skin, refreshing sweat, and a smile as blazing as the sun—every aspect of her reminds people of summer.

"Isn't Banana here?"

Sitting in the window seat in the iconic corner, Shaoyan Lemon glanced around and asked casually - recently, when she came to see Qingye, the three of them usually met face to face.

"Well, she went to buy snacks." Qingye sat across from her and looked the girl up and down. "Shaoyan, are you a little tanned?"

"It's summer after all."

Shaoyan Lemon grinned, then took a sip of the refreshing lemonade and said casually like a good brother chatting:

"Does Qing prefer girls with lighter skin?"

"Actually, I care more about a girl's inner qualities. For example, I don't ask for a car or a house, I don't care about wealth, I don't make noise or make a fuss, and I just want to make money to support me..." Qingye said seriously.

"It's so fantastical, even comics wouldn't dare draw it like this! But..."

Shaoyan Lemon tilted his head and gave a slightly mischievous smile: "Ah Qing, are you secretly in love with me?"

She seemed to be suggesting that she fit the bill.

Why is there another humble girl here?

Qingye glanced at her.

The athletic girl chuckled and naturally skipped the topic: "I don't think there's anything to do during the summer vacation. Should I... also work part-time here? It seems very interesting!"

She pinched a strand of her hair.

"Miss, you are here to experience life, right? If you are not short of money, I still don't recommend you to come here to work." Qingye shook his head helplessly.

"I, I'm not some young lady! I've been spending all my time in my hometown in the mountains recently, and I haven't even spent 5,000 yen!" Shaoyan Lemon looked at his expression, seemed to care about this, and spoke in an anxious tone.
