Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

[Secret crush: Uesugi Fuutarou]

【No boyfriend, can date. 】

"What's going on lately? One date after another."

In just two days, Kitahara Tsutomu already knew three of them.

Is the drop rate so high now?

"Let's go buy a lottery ticket after school." Kitahara Takashi thought to himself, speeding up to approach her, only to see Nakano Yotsuba also speeding up.

She "whoosh!" and rushed out a long distance.

Kitahara Takashi no longer cared about the rhythm. He swung his arms and chased after Nakano Yotsuba.

Xiao Ha didn't understand why Beiyuan Zun suddenly accelerated, but it didn't stop it from running happily.

But even so, Kitahara Takashi still couldn't catch up with Nakano Yotsuba, and could only keep himself from being completely left behind by her.

"Is this the strong one with six points of physical strength? He's so terrifying!" Kitahara Tsutomu originally thought that with only five points of physical strength, he was invincible among his peers, but he didn't expect that there was a girl who was even stronger than him.

Don't think that Kitahara Tsun is weak just because his physical strength is only 5.

His five points of physical strength are the five that only an adult can achieve.

The physical strength of a normal high school student is usually only three points. For someone like Yukinoshita Yukino, who is physically weak, the physical strength is at most one. Only athletes can reach four or five.

If it were placed in a fantasy novel, Beiyuan Zun would at least be a genius level of the Yunlan Sect.

Around the parkway, she ran and he chased.

Slowly, beads of sweat appeared on Kitahara Tsutomu's forehead, and began to gather and flow down his cheeks into his collar.

In his sight, the figure was getting farther and farther away from him.

Just as Kitahara Takashi was hesitating whether to let Xiaoha go, Nakano Yotsuba walked along the road in the park. After turning around a flower bed, she slowly stopped.

Change from running to walking.

Kitahara Takashi adjusted his breathing, gritted his teeth, and stretched out his lead-filled legs to rush forward in one breath.

He sprained his ankle while running past Nakano Yotsuba.

"grass!"

Kitahara Takashi cursed the national quintessence and closed his eyes.

The expected pain did not come.

Kitahara Tsutomu could feel a hand wrapped around his waist from behind, holding him firmly.

Nakano Yotsuba asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"Let me die."

Kitahara Takashi was so embarrassed that he wished he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

Shouldn't this kind of situation where someone accidentally sprains their ankle and is hugged from behind happen to girls?

Why did it happen to him?

This is not a world where women are superior.

Beiyuan Zun felt that he had lost all the face of the time travelers.

But luckily, no one saw it except him and Yotsuba Nakano.

Don't panic, it's not a big problem.

Kitahara Takashi thought in his heart——

"Tsk tsk tsk, young people are really loving nowadays."

"Yeah, yeah, cuddling starts early in the morning."

"It's great to be young."

——Just at this moment, a group of old ladies who got up early for a walk passed by here. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help whispering to each other.

Kitahara Tunma is numb.

Are you a fixed refresh NPC?

Why choose to appear at this time?

Don’t you have to take care of your husband?

Also, could you guys whisper a little louder?

It can be heard from two or three meters away, so it’s not even a whisper.

11. Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills

Nakano Yotsuba helped Kitahara Takashi sit on a park bench and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Kitahara Tsutomu looked down at his feet and fortunately there was no obvious swelling.

I twisted it a bit, hiss~it hurt a little, but not as much as I expected.

Kitahara Takashi judged: "It should be just a minor sprain, not a big problem."

"That's good."

Nakano Yotsuba patted her chest, her heart surging, her fighting power should not be underestimated.

At least it's a D!

"Are all high school students developing so well now?"

Among the girls that Kitahara Takashi knows, Nakano Yotsuba can at least be ranked in the top three.

Kitahara no Takashi does not control size.

He thinks that this kind of thing should be size B or C. If it is too big, it will droop and destroy the beauty.

Kitahara Takashi's gaze shifted from people's hearts to their faces.

I was following her from a distance just now and couldn't see what she looked like.

It was not until now that Kitahara Takashi saw her face.

The girl has a high-end and energetic face, with rosy cheeks, fair skin, and clear eyes like a child. Her face is full of collagen, and she looks full of energy and vitality.

Her shiny hair reached her shoulders.

She had just finished exercising, and there were still two vibrant blushes on her face, which was very cute.

"Is this your dog? So cute."

When Kitahara Takashi was looking at Nakano Yotsuba, Nakano Yotsuba was squatting on the ground, staring at Xiao Ha curiously.

Kitahara Tsutomu looked at the man and the dog looking at each other, and he inexplicably wanted to laugh.

“You can touch it.”

"really?"

Nakano Yotsuba turned her head happily.

Xiao Ha stretched out his paw and touched Nakano Yotsuba's head.

Nakano Yotsuba: “…”

"Hahahahaha."

Kitahara Takashi laughed without any image.

"Hey hey hey."

Nakano Yotsuba was not angry. She scratched her head and then laughed heartlessly.

The laugh sounds a bit like Gengar.

Xiao Ha tilted his head, not understanding what this big fool was laughing at?

Beiyuan Zun patted his legs, and Xiaoha jumped up and lay on his legs.

Clover's eyes twinkled, "Wow, it's so smart."

"It's true that it's smart, but it's also true that it's disobedient. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been abandoned." Kitahara Tsutomu touched the dog's head.

First of all, Border Collies have high IQ but poor obedience.

It knows what to do and what not to do, but it doesn't listen.

In addition, when they meet other dogs, they want to fight and are very concerned about their reputation, which requires the owner to spend time and energy to train them over a long period of time.

Finally, as a shepherd dog, the Border Collie is very energetic and has high requirements for exercise. When you cannot meet its exercise needs, it will start to destroy the house.

"Wang Wang!"

Xiao Ha seemed to understand that Beiyuan Zun was saying bad things about it again, and it howled twice in dissatisfaction.

Beiyuan Zun glared at it and said, "Scream again? Do you believe I'll send you back to the shelter?"

When Xiao Ha heard the word "shelter", he wagged his tail with a flattering look on his face.

Yotsuba, stroking Xiaoha's soft fur, looked up in surprise: "Was it discarded?"

"Well, I came across it on the way to the shelter."

"That was also the day it was going to be disposed of."

Japanese shelters regularly deal with stray cats and dogs, which is why they are rarely seen in cities.

Beiyuan Zun felt that the pain in his feet was not so severe anymore. He patted Xiao Ha's head and said, "Let's go. I'll walk with you."

Xiaoha jumped down from the chair. Kitahara Takashi walked with him and said to Nakano Yotsuba, "If you want to get a dog one day, you can go to the shelter first."

Nakano Yotsuba pouted, and even the bunny ear bow on her head drooped down: "My father won't agree to let me get a dog. Besides, Nino and Miku don't like dogs very much."

Kitahara Takashi probed: "Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"Yes, I have four sisters, quintuplets." Nakano Yotsuba puffed out her chest proudly.

Kitahara Takashi: “!!!”

Masaka!

Golden legend?

He smelled money.

For a moment, Kitahara Tsutomu's eyes changed when he looked at Nakano Yotsuba.

Finally he caught a rich man.

Kitahara Takashi didn't immediately ask about her family background.

If you reveal your purpose too directly, others will be on guard. This is what Kitahara Tsutomu learned from experience.

"Hold steady, don't be reckless, don't scare off the sponsor."

Kitahara Takashi started to talk about some of the embarrassing things that Xiao Ha had done, which made Yotsuba laugh non-stop.

Of course, he also didn't forget to ask indirect questions, asking about her family situation from various angles, such as: What school did she go to? What do she do in her free time? Is she a fan of celebrities?

Under Kitahara Takashi's deliberate guidance of the topic, the two of them unknowingly talked about the downstairs of Nakano Yotsuba's house.

It wasn't until she reached the doorstep that Nakano Yotsuba realized, "Ah, I'm home."

Beiyuan Zun looked up at the high-end residential area in front of him. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, but it disappeared in an instant. He looked regretful: "We are here so soon, time flies."

"Yes."

Nakano Yotsuba was also not satisfied.

"Yoshiha, do you usually go for a morning run around this time?"

"Not really. It's mainly because of something that happened recently. I couldn't sleep and was a little stressed."

"Oh, I guess we won't be able to meet again in the future. What a shame."
