Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

In a moment of panic, Lu Nan began to observe what was wrong with the girl in front of him, why she was suddenly crying like this, and his first priority was to find a way to attract her attention...

Lu Nan quickly noticed the keychain on the backpack the girl opposite him was carrying, which had her name written on it: Hachimi Anna!

"Um, Banami-kun? What's wrong?" Lu Nan asked cautiously.

Banai paused in her crying, wiped away her tears, and asked in confusion, "Who...who are you? Do you know me?"

Seeing that the girl could continue communicating, Lu Nan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they could communicate; it would be the best thing if they could communicate.

"My name is Lu Nan, and I don't know you."

Chapter 27 I Have a Friend

Lu Nan pointed to the small pendant on the backpack that Banami was carrying, indicating that he had seen it from there.

Then he handed her the tissue and said, "No matter what happened, Yana-kun, there's no need to be so sad."

Lu Nan then pointed to the ice cream on Banami's lap: "I'm sorry, my silly cat didn't react at first. We're both guys, so it's a bit inconvenient for us to wipe it off. You'll have to wipe it off yourself."

Banami took the tissue blankly, glanced down at the ice cream on her lap, and started wiping it off.

Lu Nan wiped the sweat from his forehead. Great! A public relations crisis has been perfectly resolved! He really lived up to his reputation!

Just as Lu Nan was about to take a bite of the ice cream cone in his hand to ease his sad mood, he noticed that Banami across from him was still teary-eyed and staring intently at the ice cream cone in his hand.

Lu Nan glanced at the ice cream cone in his hand that he hadn't even taken a bite of, closed his eyes with a pained expression, and handed it to Banami: "Banami-kun, you eat this, consider it an apology."

As he spoke, Lu Nan slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Banai, hoping that this little girl would be polite. If she dared to refuse, Lu Nan would take it back directly.

Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have no intention of refusing and simply reached out to take the ice cream cone and started eating it.

Lu Nan sighed. He hadn't even eaten a bite yet, and now he was like this. He was planning to enjoy himself on the way back...

But now that I've eaten the ice cream cone, does that mean I have nothing more to do here?

Lu Nan thought to himself and was about to grab Dai Miao and run away, but he had only taken two steps when someone grabbed his clothes.

Lu Nan turned around with a pained expression, and sure enough, it was Banami.

The little girl was eating an ice cream cone, tears streaming down her face, and she was clinging tightly to Lu Nan's clothes.

Lu Nan was immediately at a loss. "Fine, you can eat, and I'll accept it if you pull on my clothes, but why are you crying?!"

It looks like a scene where Lu Nan abandons an innocent girl, and the girl tearfully begs him to come back.

Hearing the faint clicking sound of cameras taking pictures from the side, Lu Nan's headache worsened.

"Hey, Banai-kun, do you have anything else to do? If not, I..." Lu Nan pointed to his clothes and the cat beside him: "I have to go back to the cafe to work. I have to take care of the cat at home. I'm not a free spirit."

While eating her ice cream cone, Banami said with a pitiful look, "Can I come with you? I'm really hungry."

Lu Nan's face brightened up. He had said he was coming to spend money, but it turned out he was the boss. Look at the mess he'd made: "Of course! Follow me, it's not far from here."

Lu Nan was overjoyed. Bringing back a customer would surely increase his commission. Although this girl didn't seem like she could eat a lot, even a small mosquito bite is still meat.

This ice cream cone flower is worth it!

After saying that, Lu Nan led the way with Dai Miao towards the coffee shop, with Banami following closely behind.

At this moment, Lu Nan suddenly asked with some curiosity, "Yanami-kun, if it's convenient, could you tell me why you're so sad? Maybe I can give you some advice?"

After all, she's not just a passerby anymore; she's the boss. What if I help her solve her problem and she gets in a better mood and eats a little more? That's all money!

Banami hesitated for a moment: "You called me classmate... are you from Ishigaki University?"

Lu Nan was delighted to hear this; they were even alumni! That made it even easier to get closer to them: "Yes, although I haven't enrolled yet, if nothing unexpected happens, I'll be a freshman at Yiqing University when school starts. Hello, senior!"

Never mind anything else, once this senior calls, the commission is practically guaranteed, right? Would she really have the nerve to run away now?

After thinking for a moment, Banami began to tell a story using the template of "I have a friend".

In short, it's about Hanami having a childhood friend... cough cough.

I'm talking about Hanami's friend, who has a childhood friend. They used to like each other (that's what Hanami said), but then one day a transfer student came, and things started to get quite interesting.

The childhood friend and the transfer student became fast friends, just like... well, like those young male and female protagonists in a campus romance, you know? They quickly entered a passionate relationship, leaving the friend of Banami completely bewildered.

As for why things turned out this way, it was all because of Banami's friend. Originally, the two weren't together, but then the transfer student was going to transfer to another district, and the childhood friend was sad and listless every day. Banami's friend saw this and thought, "This won't do."

Then, he found an opportunity to encourage his childhood friend to confess his feelings. As you can probably guess, he succeeded. His childhood friend even sent a message to Banami's friends to share the good news.

So who is actually injured in this story? It's so hard to guess.

Lu Nan glanced at Banami beside him, at a loss for words. These kinds of relationship problems were not easy to solve.

If I say something wrong, and Banai gets upset and goes straight home, then Lu Nan will be even more upset. He's lost his commission on the Byd ice cream cones, so isn't that a huge loss?

"Um...please accept my condolences?" Lu Nan said cautiously.

"..." Seeing that he was a little confused, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Nan was a little smug when he saw Banami Raku come out. See, I told you I have high EQ. Look, he's smiling now.

"Anyway, thank you, junior." Banami wiped away her tears and said, "No matter what, it feels much better to say it out loud."

Lu Nan thought for a moment, then asked Dai Miao for a request form and handed it to Banami.

Banami was slightly taken aback: "What is this?"

Lu Nan said seriously, "The commission form, if you... I mean, if your friend really doesn't like that childhood sweetheart and makes her sign this commission form, I will take responsibility for going over and beating her up. I guarantee no one will know about this."

Ba Nai was stunned. She shook her head and chuckled. Was this junior student teasing her? He was quite serious. It seemed that this commission might be very important to him.

"No need. In the end, it's no one's fault. It's just bad luck. Besides, his bicycle was vandalized by someone a couple of days ago when it was parked at the bus stop."

Thinking of this, Banami covered her mouth and chuckled: "Let's just consider it his retribution for not liking a beautiful girl like me. One of them is enough."

Lu Nan didn't reply. He and Dai Miao exchanged a glance and, in perfect unison, turned their heads away from Banami.

This bicycle probably has nothing to do with them, right?

"Perhaps I have already avenged you, senior."

"Eh?"

Chapter 28 You're so shy!

Ba Nai tilted his head, not quite understanding what Lu Nan meant. Lu Nan didn't seem inclined to explain either; everything was understood without words, brothers.

Moreover, ever since she started talking, it seems like Yanami has opened a floodgate and just can't stop.

Her word choice gradually changed, from "my friend" to "I," and she herself didn't realize that something was wrong.

"He said he would marry me back then!" Banami said indignantly, as if she were telling the truth.

Lu Nan's eyelids twitched. He felt that something was wrong. It couldn't be. According to what he had just heard, his childhood friend clearly didn't like Banami much. It was more of a habit.

He was used to Banami's kindness, care, and even affection for him, so it was impossible for such a person to say something so promising.

"Hey junior, can I ask you something? When did he say that to you?" Lu Nan asked, feigning curiosity.

After finishing the last bite of her ice cream cone, Banami wiped her fingers with a tissue and said seriously, "I think it was when I was about five or six years old. I remember it very clearly!"

Regardless of the contradiction between your claim that you remembered it clearly when you were about five or six years old, and excluding the possibility that you were pretending to make someone say it, let's just say that the person really did say it themselves.

When he was five or six years old, we didn't even know if that guy had developed his intelligence yet. Do you think he knows what you're saying?

Lu Nan suddenly felt a headache coming on. Why is it so uncomfortable to talk to someone with a love-struck brain?

Banami suddenly turned her head: "Lu Nan, do you think what he did counts as cheating, having an affair or something?"

Lu Nan almost choked on his own saliva at this moment. He didn't want to call her "senior sister" anymore, feeling that getting too involved with her might lead to something unpleasant.

Is being love-struck contagious? I don't want this kind of thing!

But since they asked, I can't just not answer. It's so close to the coffee shop. If I can't get the stuff back and get my commission, I'll be losing money.

Lu Nan had no choice but to calm down. He looked at Ba Nai and asked hesitantly, "Then I'll ask you a question, is there anything between your friend and your childhood friend...?"

Lu Nan made two fists into the shape of thumbs and then put them together. The two thumbs kept raising and lowering their heads, and the meaning was self-evident.

Silly Cat raises her hand: "Let's date, Meow!"

Lu Nan nodded in satisfaction. As expected of my little silly cat, she's so smart.

But to Lu Nan's surprise, Banami turned her head and seemed a little shy: "Oh my, do they look like they're dating? It's really a little embarrassing, hahaha."

Lu Nan was stunned, standing there speechless for a moment.

Not sisters? What are you doing? What the hell are you being shy about?

No, among the two people and the cat present, one of them is heartbroken. If it's not me, and it's not the silly cat, then who could it be? It's so hard to guess.

And you're this happy because of just one sentence? That's why I say there's no hope for people who are obsessed with love.

"So you're saying it doesn't actually exist?" Lu Nan asked.

No.

"How can it be considered cheating if there's no cheating?!"

"Huh? So it doesn't count?"

Lu Nan suddenly smiled with relief; he had nothing more to say.

He patted the cat's head: "Stay away from older sisters like that from now on, okay, cat? Be careful not to become a fool like that yourself."

Dai Miao scratched his head and nodded seriously.

At this point, Banami realized that what she said was a bit problematic. She looked down and kicked at the pebbles on the ground: "So I said almost, almost like we're dating! Do you understand now?"

Lu Nan gave him a deadpan look: "Yes, I completely understand."

"Understand my ass! You yourself used three or four uncertain words in that sentence, and you don't even have the confidence to say such a thing."

Suddenly, Hanami angrily ground her round-toed leather shoes into the pebbles on the ground, gritting her teeth: "If it weren't for that woman... that dairy cow..."

Lu Nan's eyelids twitched and he quickly covered Dai Miao's ears. Goodness, why did he suddenly start speaking his mind like that? He couldn't let Dai Miao hear such indecent words.

"Why are you talking badly about people behind their backs? Didn't you say you were an important friend before?"

Banami turned around and crossed her arms in dissatisfaction: "Yeah, but if it weren't for her, I definitely would have..."

Lu Nan raised his hand: "I maintain my opposition. You haven't been able to do it for several years, but others have done it, and you say you can do it yourself. This is clearly self-deception and hindsight."
