Unspeakable bubbles

The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked closely and saw that Ms. Eve was smiling at her from behind the window.

"Teacher?"

"Xingzi, don't block the students behind you from getting their food."

"Oh, oh!"

Realizing what had happened, Xingzi happily went back, "Bubble, come quick, there's something delicious tonight!"

"Coming, coming!"

Short legs mean slow walking; there's nothing I can do, Bubble is the last one again this time.

The little girl finally got to wait in line, and was about to leave with her portion.

"Bubble," Eve called to her.

"teacher?"

"This is a special reward for good girl Bubble." Eve took out a candy and winked at the little girl.

"Don't tell anyone, okay?"

Bubble paused for a moment, then flashed a big smile.

"Ok!"

Section 9, Chapter 009: You must be sick.

"Apricot, you've been acting a little strange lately."

After washing her face, Bubble couldn't help but say something to Xingzi, who was sitting on the bed in a daze.

"Strange?" Kyoko exclaimed in surprise. "No, what's strange about me?"

"I was distracted in class today and got scolded by the teacher." After thinking for a moment, Bubble held up one finger.

"Well... it's almost time to eat, I was a little distracted."

Bubble shook her head and held up her second finger: "Apricot's appetite has decreased; she's only been eating two bowls of rice per meal these past few days."

"Hehe," Xingzi chuckled dryly, "It's not good for girls to eat too much. You see, what if she gets fat..."

Before he could finish speaking, the little girl's eyes widened.

She turned around in a panic, muttering, "She's sick, Xingzi is sick," and was about to run out the door.

"Wait, wait a minute."

"Wait a minute, Bubble!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Xingzi jumped off the bed.

She rushed over and hugged the little girl tightly. "Where are you going?"

"I need to find a teacher. Xingzi, let go, let go."

After struggling for a bit, the bubbles on the little arms and legs quickly gave up.

The little girl looked worried: "If you're sick, you should see a doctor. You can't be stubborn."

"Who's sick? I'm perfectly fine." Anzu looked at Bubble with a hint of helplessness.

“…Why would Xingzi say she can’t eat if she’s not sick? She must be sick after all.” The little girl’s expression was serious. “In this situation, you should go see your teacher.”

"Uh," Xingzi's lips twitched.

'Does Bubble think I'm some kind of glutton?'

After a moment of silence, Xingzi sighed, "Bubble, I'm really not sick, it's just... sigh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Kyoko let go, her expression conflicted.

"don't know?"

The little girl scratched her head. "Bubble isn't very smart, but how would Apricot know Bubble doesn't understand if she doesn't tell me? Maybe Bubble does know."

"Hmm," Xingzi murmured in thought.

"Speak, speak."

“This…” Xingzi hesitated.

"Tell me, tell me." Bubble shook her hands, which were holding Xingzi, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

"Well, then I'll tell you."

"You absolutely cannot tell anyone!" Kyoko stared into Bubble's eyes. "Not even Teacher Eve!"

"Even the teacher can't tell?"

Bubble became even more curious. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Bubble is a good girl and never lies. So,"

"I will never tell anyone about this."

Hearing this assurance, Kyoko felt relieved.

“Bubble,” she began, “have you ever had this experience?”

There's that one person you always pretend not to care about.

"But my heart starts pounding whenever I get close to him."

“Every time I talk to him, I pretend to be strong, but I always regret it afterwards.”

"When I came to my senses, I was thinking about him while eating."

"I was thinking about him during class."

Even when I got back to the dorm, all I could think about was him.

Kyoko's tone was erratic; she seemed to be talking to Bubble, or perhaps to herself.

"Tell me, what's wrong with me?"

"What happened? What else could it be?"

"Hehehehe, our class monitor is smitten."

Just as Bubble was deep in thought and Apricot was gradually lost in her own world, an uninvited guest burst through the door.

Xingzi was shocked and furious. She glared at the despicable guy: "Xiaoshan, you were eavesdropping!"

"Eavesdropping? How can you call that eavesdropping?"

She shrugged. "Look, I just happened to be walking by. And then I heard a commotion inside."

"This is terrible! Could it be that our usually serious and nosy class monitor is bullying our lovely Bubble?"

"Out of concern for my classmate, Xiaoshan stood behind the door for a while."

"That's eavesdropping!" Kyoko shouted.

"Is it really okay to be so loud?" Xiao Shan's face showed a malicious expression. "It's not good if other people hear this kind of thing."

She slammed the door shut, but showed no intention of leaving.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Xingzi had a bad feeling.

"Oh dear, how should I put it? Although you, Xingzi, are rude, loud, and nosy, and usually act like a tomboy," she changed the subject as she saw Xingzi's face darken.

"But she also has some girlish qualities."

Xingzi lowered her head, and after a while, she took out three candies from her pocket.

"Hmph, here you go."

"Hmm?" Xiao Shan didn't move.

"This is all my possessions!" Seeing Xiaoshan pretending to be naive, Xingzi's anger flared up again.

"Don't go too far!"

"Bubble, bubble too!" The little girl looked reluctant, but still took out the milk candy that her teacher had given her a few days ago. "If that's not enough, I'll give you bubble too."

“Bubble…” Anzu was deeply moved and immediately stood in front of Bubble.

"These are Bubble's things, you're not allowed to take them!"

"Sigh, look at you." Xiao Shan waved her hand. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would blackmail someone with their private information to get candy?"

"Isn't that right?" Kyoko asked with a doubtful look.

"Ahem, it seems you have some misunderstanding about me, Kyoko. ...Alright, I'll be frank with you."

Xiao Shan put on a serious face, "This time, I'm here to help you."

"Huh?" Xingzi picked at her ear, her face full of disbelief.

Say it again.

"Don't be skeptical, Xiaoshan really wants to help you this time."

Xiaoshan said very seriously, "Xingzi, your teacher is also very worried about you lately."

"Ms. Eve, are you worried about me?"

"Of course, it's because you've been looking so dazed these past few days, of course your teacher would worry."

Xiaoshan added, "What happens to you, Xingzi, is none of my business, but this will cause trouble for Teacher Eve."

"So, let Xiaoshan give you a hand."

"Hurry up and turn back into that talkative, meddlesome class monitor, Xingzi, and stop causing trouble for everyone."

“Even if you say that,” Xingzi looked at Xiaoshan and said somewhat dejectedly, “you can’t help.”

"..."

Xiao Shan raised an eyebrow, feeling that she had been underestimated.

"Hmph hmph hmph"
