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

"Maybe it's a two-dimensional painting."

High school students are really perceptive even in insignificant areas.

He vaguely remembered Eriri saying that she would usually do her job at school...which was drawing books. Isn't that bad?

Qingye sat in his seat, thought about it, and sent a message to Eriri, asking her to be careful, as there might really be a pervert sneaking in and following her!

*

Ying Lili walked forward with her head down, a look of indifference on her face as she made up her mind.

The two of them are childhood sweethearts and should have the closest relationship, but Aki Tomoya actually treats her like this!

She knew in her heart that their relationship had become ambiguous ever since that incident in elementary school, but Eriri still held an unusual affection for her childhood sweetheart, like a little girl holding onto an old treasure chest.

It is a hazy and immature feeling, the joy that a once lonely little girl feels when she finds her only playmate, and the youth accumulated from important memories. Maybe it is not passionate, but if there is sunshine, it will thrive and may eventually develop into true love.

The girl also stubbornly believed that she must be special in the other person's heart.

But it doesn't seem to be the case now.

The melancholy evening breeze blew in from the window, ruffling the girl's hair. She reached out her hand to hold her hair.

The sudden ringing of the cell phone interrupted Eriri's thoughts.

The blonde girl stopped and opened her cell phone. When she saw the sender, she couldn't help but smile.

"Sawamura-kun, what are you doing now?" Kiyono asked.

"Just finished work."

Eriri didn't specifically mention anything about Tomoya Aki.

"I heard the TV fortune teller said today that Pisces has the worst luck. You have to be careful. Don't forget to close the door of your private room, and don't forget anything..."

Qingye's reminder was rather tactful. He didn't want to make Eriri worry too much. After all, anonymous forums were mostly just jokes.

"Eh? You're actually interested in fortune-telling... No, I should say why do you know my zodiac sign? And why did you even go to get a fortune-teller?"

The girl had a strange expression on her face and quickly sent a message.

"That's the excuse a certain young lady who loves to take advantage of the situation likes to use, like blaming it on 'Pisces' bad luck' or something like that..."

His memory at this point could be called the king of test-taking, so it was perfectly normal for him to dig up these little details!

“Hmm, eh…”

This guy knows every detail about me!

Ying Lili's pretty face turned red all of a sudden, and her two cute ponytails jumped up and down like living things. The feeling of being kept in mind all the time made her feel a little numb inside.

Her eyebrows raised and she continued to send messages: "What else did the divination say?"

"Some waves have appeared in the river where Pisces lives. This means something has happened around you, causing you to have different emotions and thoughts. Although it may be a bad thing at the moment, you will eventually meet your destined person..."

As a writer who has written several books, Qingye didn't even need to think, and just came up with a piece of all-purpose rhetoric.

——Super accurate!

Eriri held her phone in both hands, her eyes widening. She wanted to ask him where he had seen this fortune-telling. She would definitely study it carefully and ask him about his zodiac sign...

But at this moment, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Eriri put down her phone and subconsciously looked behind her. She was now in the second school building, which was specially used to store miscellaneous items and club activities. She was surrounded by deserted club classrooms and the corridor was empty. The only sound came from the wind band in the distance.

Is it an illusion?

It was as if someone was watching her... No, it wasn't an illusion! Someone was following her! She heard footsteps!

Eriri paused, but since this was a school, she didn't feel scared or anything. She just frowned and quickened her pace.

The sound of footsteps behind her was faint, and when she turned the corner, she suddenly turned around and saw a senior from the art department. She looked hesitant and was holding a few sheets of...manuscript paper?

That's her drawing book.

My identity... has been exposed!?

After realizing she was discovered, the short-haired senior looked conflicted and said tentatively, "Sawamura-san, um..."

Before he could finish his words, Eriri jumped up like a frightened little rabbit, her eyes twitching and her heart pounding.

At this moment, many images flashed through her mind: her identity being exposed, attracting countless discussions and exclamations from classmates, and the prospect of being bullied again after discovering that the school's eldest daughter was actually a homebody...

No! Not only that! He might even threaten her with, "If you don't want me to tell anyone about this, you'll have to listen to me." Then, he'd lick his tongue and say, "Come out, my servants..." Although she fought back desperately, she was no match for the other men in strength!

Eriri instantly fell into panic and fear, even her eyes became dizzy. Faced with this situation, she decisively chose to do what she was best at - escape and run away.

She ran down the stairs without hesitation.

"Ah, wait a minute!"

Don't, don't chase me! I don't know anyone who draws this kind of picture!

Eriri walked down the stairs even faster. She was so flustered that she accidentally sprained her ankle. However, she didn't have the time to think about it and fled the scene at the speed of light.

But he was caught.

"Sawamura-kun, wait...is this yours?"

In the corridor on the first floor, the senior student quickened her pace and blocked her way. The girl subconsciously took a step back.

To Eriri's surprise, the other party did not threaten or despise her as she had imagined, but instead handed her the manuscript paper gently.

"I found this when I was cleaning the clubhouse the other day. Sawamura-san must have accidentally taken it with some other drawing paper. I've been wondering how to return it to you..."

So that's how it is...

Seeing the senior's sincere expression, Eriri realized that she had misunderstood and coughed with a red face.

"But then again, Sawamura-san's drawing skills are truly remarkable. Even the girls he draws...draws...he draws are so cute."

The short-haired senior girl flipped through the manuscript in her hand in amazement and shyness, sighed, and planned to return the manuscript to the blonde lady.

But suddenly the sound of flying papers was heard.

A strong wind blew in from the window, and the senior student lost her grip. Eriri watched helplessly as the draft paper on which she had carefully drawn a close-up of the exposed heroine flew forward, then slowly fell down and landed on the small leather shoes of several girls who were walking over with musical instruments on their backs.

The whole world suddenly became quiet.

The girl gasped.

Only two big words echoed in my heart.

It’s over.

My campus life is coming to an end.

At this moment, the world in front of her seemed to become dark, and the girl didn't dare to look up.

She didn't dare to look up at her classmates' expressions, let alone imagine what would happen next.

“Hmm, this is…?”

The moment her classmate bent down to pick it up, Ying Lili felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen into ice.

--at this time.

The scent of grass and sunshine passed through her nose. She heard a familiar voice.

"I'm so sorry, this is something I treasure. Could you please return it to me?"

Eriri raised her head blankly and saw a boy running over from the side, kneeling on one knee and picking up the fallen manuscript paper. The exposed beautiful girl was accidentally seen by other girls and attracted a lot of strange looks.

Is he...taking the blame for himself?

The blonde girl felt her heart beating inexplicably faster, up and down, beating non-stop.

"Ah, well... But, it's best not to bring things like this to school in the future, okay?"

The girl from the light music club let out an awkward smile. Eriri could read her facial expressions, which reflected the regret of "she's good-looking, but turns out to be a pervert." This made her feel extremely guilty. This was clearly how she should be treated...

"I'll try my best to pay attention." Qingye smiled heartily.

The girl nodded with a complicated expression, and disappeared at the stairs while whispering with her companions. The remaining art department seniors looked at Qingye with admiration, glanced at the two of them ambiguously, and left tactfully.

In the end, only Kiyono and Eriri were left.

The corridor was quiet and filled with a lonely atmosphere.

The soft glow of the setting sun filled the corridor, casting spots of light, staining the girl's uniform slightly red, and the shadows of the two people were dragged out very long.

Eriri reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Um...I'm sorry..."

She pursed her cherry lips, raised her blue eyes as high as the sky, and whispered that Qingye was misunderstood by others because of her. Maybe the news will spread to other classes tomorrow... After all, high school students are so boring.

"It's okay. This is much better than if you were exposed."

Although he usually likes to joke regardless of the occasion, Qingye's attitude now is very gentle, trying his best to take care of her self-esteem.

After reading the comments on the anonymous forum, he felt that he could understand Eriri's situation to some extent. Because of her appearance and family background, she was naturally eye-catching, and it was better to be good at dealing with people than to be surrounded by enemies.

"By the way, why are you here?" Ying Lili blushed slightly and looked at him straight.

Because you read my message but didn't reply, he felt something was wrong so he came over to check it out... But as a GALGAME expert, he thinks this is not an option!

"Just hanging out for a bit."

"Oh..." The blonde lady did not ask any further questions, nor did she express her emotions with fierce words as usual, exuding a bit of girlish tenderness.

"Then I'll go home first. Remember to be more careful next time."

Qingye turned around calmly.

Then the sleeve was grabbed again.

"What's wrong?" He raised his eyebrows.

"I just twisted my ankle accidentally, and I can't walk much anymore."

Eriri turned her face away in shame, her earlobes and neck feeling a little hot. However, when the words fell, she also stole a glance at Qingye with some anticipation, expecting him to squat in front of her like the protagonist of a girl's comic, and then, and then...

"Ah, I see."

This is inevitable, right?

Under Eriri's subtle gaze, Kiyono took off his schoolbag and let her hold it, saying elegantly:

"The private room in the infirmary invites you."

"...Huh? Aren't men here usually considered to carry girls on their backs?" The blonde lady was dumbfounded.

"That's just an ordinary person. I'm Qingye." He looked proud.

That's right, after all, it's this guy...

*

Qingye ignored her little thoughts and opened the door of the health room. There was no one in the room, which made Qingye feel a little regretful. Then he led Eriri to the bed and gently put her on the bed.

"Wait a minute, I'll take off my shoes..."

Eriri nimbly kicked off one of her indoor shoes, but she couldn't use any strength with the other foot, so she could only look up at him with the watery eyes of a golden retriever. Qingye's mouth twitched, and he could only squat down to help her take off the shoe. By the way, he picked up the other shoe that she had kicked aside, and placed them neatly beside the bed for her.

This guy is really gentle!

Qingye remained calm throughout the whole process, but Eriri felt the other person's warm palm touching her feet, and it felt like a tingling electric current was transmitted throughout her body along the contact point, making her blush and her heart beat faster.

"Are you showing off your innocent side as a manga artist?" Qingye glanced at her.

"No, no!"

With her pretty face flushed, Ying Lili lay on the hospital bed, grabbed the quilt and covered her entire little head.

Qingye turned around and walked towards the medicine cabinet next to him. After searching for a while, he found some ointments to reduce swelling, relieve pain and promote blood circulation.

"Apply it yourself."

The girl flung back the quilt and complained, "I can't handle it myself!"

"Hmph, Makoto, fifty thousand yen."

Having come to this point, Qingye no longer hesitated. He brought a stool and sat down beside Eriri's bed, like an emotionless doctor:

"Whoever has an injured foot, please stretch it out."

"You, you won't take this opportunity to touch my feet secretly!"
