It started with being hated by the girl in the band

"Um... Nakagawa-san, can you come with me for a moment?"

The three girls on the side were talking to each other crazily while eating melons.

"Wow wow wow... Xiao Deng is so brave..."

"It's just like this in class, a lot of things must have happened in private..."

"Brother Zhonghe is indeed quite handsome, no wonder Xiaodeng..."

Although Nakagawa Nobuyuki is not so narcissistic as to think that Xiaodeng, whom he has only known for a few days, will fall in love with him, Xiaodeng's current state is indeed a bit...hard to say.

And it is indeed easy to cause misunderstanding. To be honest, many classmates in the class gave me quite ambiguous looks.

"Hmm... where are we going?"

Although he felt a headache about this atmosphere, Nakagawa Nobuyuki could clearly see that Xiaodeng was seriously inviting him to go with her. If he refused, it would definitely hurt Xiaodeng's feelings, but he still decided to ask where to go.

What if it's really like what Aine said, and we kill the smarter guy first?

"...can't say it in the classroom."

Gao Songdeng looked at the classmates around him and his face became even redder.

"Anyway...can you come with me?"

Xiaodeng's tone suddenly became very firm. He directly grabbed Nakagawa Nobuyuki's hand, stared at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, and pulled Nakagawa Nobuyuki up from his seat, shortening the distance between them many times.

It's over. Looks like I'm really going to be taken away and chopped into meat sauce.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have guessed with Chihaya Aine what was in the plastic bag. Now I might have to guess it myself.

"Deng-chan... is so proactive...////"

“I feel a little embarrassed watching this…////”

"Now that you mention it, the two names seem to match well... Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Takamatsu Touma..."

Seeing the atmosphere in the classroom becoming increasingly strange, charming and ambiguous, the first person who couldn't sit still was Chihaya Aine.

After hurriedly covering the bento and taking a few bites, it suddenly became less delicious. Chihaya Aine suddenly stood up with a smile on her face.

"Well, Deng-san, if you want to go, why don't you take me with you?"

How come my body moves on its own!

Isn't this just like a light bulb?

What are you doing, Chihaya Aine!

Although I questioned myself in my heart, for some reason I didn't feel the slightest bit of regret...

"...Very good."

“Aine…come with me too.”

As a result, Takamatsu Deng showed a happy smile, and under Chihaya Aine's shocked gaze, he pulled Chihaya Aine and walked out of the classroom together.

A terrifying possibility suddenly occurred to Chihaya Aine.

Is it possible that Xiaodeng is going to assert his sovereignty or something?

Although it was a completely groundless guess, it still made Chihaya Aine feel a little flustered.

Of course it’s not that I like Xinxin or something... Mainly, mainly because if Xiaodeng and Xinxin are dating, then I won’t be able to play with Xinxin!

Aiyin thought after convincing herself like this.

Plus, in girls' comics, there are often those scenes where a girl runs away and is caught up by the hero and then suddenly realizes what's in her heart... Plus, Xiao Deng really ran away yesterday...

If this really happened, Xiao Deng would reveal his true colors to me today, and I wouldn’t even be able to pretend to be stupid.

I should have known not to follow...

In short, although the two people have completely different ideas, we can take a look at what they are thinking.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki: (It’s over. I’m going to be exposed by Xiao Deng now.)

Chihaya Aine: (It’s over, I’m going to be exposed by Deng-kun now!)

Nakagawa Nobuo: (I should have known not to follow you. It’s good to play dumb.)

Chihaya Aine: (I should have known not to follow you. It’s fine to play dumb.)

Poke.

Poke poke.

But this time it was Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was poking Aine.

"Aine, I have to say, your guess is pretty accurate."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki said quietly.

Yes, the guess was indeed very accurate. Even the smart person who was going to be killed first guessed it. Isn’t it a very accurate guess?

"Sure enough...I didn't expect Xiao Deng to have such strong execution ability..."

Chihaya Aine bit her pink lips lightly, and the emotions of [reluctance] and [grievance] surged again.

Sure enough, I was right. Xiao Deng really had other ideas about Xin Xin... When I came back with Xin Xin yesterday, I must have told her secretly... Xin Xin said that my guess was very accurate...

"Yeah, even I was shocked."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed slightly.

Although I know that Xiaodeng will not take me to be killed, but with such initiative, many pieces of me in another world line may be lying in plastic bags now.

"After all, Xiao Deng is too deceptive."

Chihaya Aine lowered her head, feeling a little depressed. She didn't know how to face Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Takamatsu Deng. After all, she had heard what everyone had said just now, such as how the names were very compatible...

At this time, Takamatsu Deng stopped in front of the door leading to the rooftop, opened the door to the rooftop with the key of the Astronomy Department, and pulled the two of them in.

Nakagawa Nobuo: (It’s actually a rooftop, is it so romantic?)

Chihaya Aine: (It’s actually on a rooftop, isn’t that too romantic?)

Of course, Gao Songdeng had no idea what offensive things the two people he had brought here were thinking. Instead, he was squatting in a cardboard box placed against the wall, rummaging through something.

"Ah! Found it!"

I heard Takamatsu Deng's surprised voice.

Then, Xiao Deng put his hands behind his back and ran to Nakagawa Nobuyuki nervously.

"Um... Nakagawa-san, thank you for last night... This... is for you!"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki reached out to take it and found that it was a grayish-white pebble. He didn't know whether it was warmed by the sun or by Xiaodeng's body temperature, but it felt warm in his hand.

Uh... I hope there are no radioactive elements.

“Also, Aine-chan, this is for you too!”

"Hey, do I have one too? Thanks, Xiao Deng!"

Hehe, as long as it’s not a confession or anything.

Fortunately, I didn’t say it directly, otherwise why would Xiaodeng give me something?

Suddenly, that intoxicating smile appeared on Aine’s pretty face again.

This piece is a pink rhodonite, which is a type of quartz.

Although I don't know why I gave him a stone, he is Xiao Deng after all~

At this time, thanks to Nakagawa Nobuyuki's good memory, he immediately remembered that these two stones were the ones that Xiaodeng picked up in the flower bed when he first met him.

When this idea was expressed, Xiaodeng, a classmate standing beside him, almost immediately had bright colors in his eyes and looked at me with his eyes wide open.

"Nakagawa-san...do you remember this?"

"...Don't you think I'm weird?"

Gao Songdeng raised his head slightly, his amber-like clear eyes flashing with a different color, looking at Zhonghe Xin, as if he was expecting to hear the answer.

"Of course not. After all, this is also Takamatsu-san's characteristic, right?"

"It's like the stars in the sky. From a distance, they all seem the same, but in fact, each one has its own unique characteristics, different from all the other ones."

"Like the gift that Gao Song gave me today, this is the first stone I have ever received in my life. It is the most unique gift, right?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled gently and patted Takamatsu Deng's slender shoulder.

"Okay, shall we go back to the classroom?"

And classmate Xiaodeng was still standing there in a daze.

"...My...characteristics?"

After a while, Xiaodeng slowly came back to his senses.

Is that so? Is this my characteristic?

Ha ha.

Some...I don't know what to do.

"Oh, Takamatsu-san has come back to his senses."

At this moment, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was standing leaning against the gate of the rooftop.

"Nakagawa-san, aren't you leaving yet?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Chihaya Aine both nodded.

"The main reason is of course to wait for you, Xiao Deng."

Chihaya Aine smiled and took Takamatsu Touma's hand.

"...What about the secondary reason?"

"The secondary reason is that the key is in Takamatsu-san's hands, and we can't open the door."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki spread his hands and stepped aside.

Chapter 16 This feeling of being the only one who knows nothing...

The afternoon class was so boring that I decided not to talk about it.

As for the classmates in the class who suddenly fell silent after seeing the three people returning in a very harmonious atmosphere, it is better not to talk about it!

However, the more outrageous rumors that spread afterwards are another matter.

In short, now is the time for club activities that are most popular among students.

"Takamatsu-san, see you tomorrow then?"

"Um...Nakagawa-san, see you tomorrow too."

Said goodbye to Xiaodeng.

“Aine, see you tomorrow too?”

"Byebye~"

I also said goodbye to Aine.

As a core member of the Homecoming Club, Nakagawa Nobuyuki is going to work at the coffee shop again today.

After solving the problem of the guitarist on Fanxing's side, Nakagawa Shin couldn't help but feel that his steps were lighter. Fortunately, he met Ichiri... otherwise, this matter would definitely make him very embarrassed, and he would really have to ask Aine for help then.

At this moment, I happened to meet Fengchuan who was also walking out of the classroom, and the two of them happened to bump into each other.

"Toyokawa, you're not going to take a day off today?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki greeted his colleague and classmate with a smile.

"Nakagawa-san, I really troubled you by asking for leave yesterday."

Fengchuan was a little surprised, but soon returned to normal, bowed slightly, folded his hands in front of him, and apologized.

"If Nakagawa-san doesn't plan to take a day off today, could you please come with me to the cafe? I have something I want to ask Nakagawa-san."

Fengchuan gave a standard business smile.

"You don't have to be so formal when talking to me... In that case, why don't you go together?"
