Anime Heart

Grandpa Qin looked at Yu Ma Xian Dong warily, judging from his years of experience as a gatekeeper, this guy definitely had no good intentions.

However, the thought of being the only one left in the entire school made me feel uneasy.

If someone takes advantage of your absence from your post, that would be very troublesome.

Grandpa Qin sighed and chose not to follow, instead remaining at the gatehouse.

Eriri entered the school, took out her phone, found Arima Kento's phone number, and dialed it.

"Hey? Are you planning to climb over the wall? That's dangerous! And if you get caught, you'll be in big trouble. What? You insist on climbing over the wall? Okay! Wait a minute, I'll find a good spot and then I'll meet you here."

Eriri was shocked; she had never done anything like climbing over walls before.

But if Ma Xiandong doesn't use a VPN, there's really no normal way for him to get in.

Eriri understood this, so she didn't think too much about it. Climbing over the wall was dangerous, but she knew Ma Xiandong's skills.

If it were him, he would definitely succeed.

However, Eriri also wanted to contribute something of value.

Find a wall that is easy to climb over, so that Arima Kento's actions can be made easier.

Having already lost one friend, Eriri now values ​​friendship very much, so she naturally wouldn't easily abandon her only remaining friend.

Even if he has to take off his mask for his own sake, it's okay, as long as he can continue to be friends with Arima Kento.

A few minutes later, after Eriri's diligent search, Arima Kento jumped down from a relatively low wall.

Chapter 196 The Daily Life of a Tsundere

By bending his knees to dissipate the recoil, Arima Kento stood steadily in place.

My fundamentals are quite solid, so it's not surprising that I can bypass the Great Firewall.

Eriri rushed over to ask if she was injured.

Eriri's concern surprised Arima Kento, but after a moment's thought, he understood Eriri's intentions.

She was genuinely worried about her friend and concerned about her safety.

Regardless, this gesture touched Arima Kento somewhat.

"Don't worry, I'm really good! Also, thank you for your concern, Eriri! I feel great!"

"N-no, I wasn't worried about you! I just... I just..." Eriri retorted instinctively, but couldn't come up with a decent reason.

"Alright! I'm so happy to have you as a friend! It's an honor to be friends with Miss Eriri!"

Arima Kento gently placed his hand on the top of the girl's head and rubbed it.

This unexpected head pat caught Eriri off guard. She didn't dodge it and just quietly let Arima Kento ruffle her smooth golden hair.

Once Arima Kento had withdrawn his hand with satisfaction, Eriri finally reacted and lunged at him with bared teeth and claws.

"You bastard, you're touching my hair again! I'm going to bite you to death!"

Why do all blonde tsundere characters like to bite people?! Yamada Elf was like that before, and now Sawamura Eriri is the same.

He grabbed Eriri's wrist, restrained her, and then comforted her for a while before she finally calmed down.

"Then let me go first!" Eriri's delicate little face, no bigger than a palm, was now bright red.

The reason she blushed was her current position with Arima Kento, which made her very shy.

Arima Kento grabbed Eriri's wrist and straightened his arm to shoulder level in order to calm her down.

Although this was very effective, Eriri's body unconsciously moved closer to Arima Kento.

If she hadn't struggled, things would have been better, but Eriri had just struggled to break free, so Arima Kento had to hold her wrist tightly, but he didn't want to hurt her, so she almost broke free for a moment.

So Arima Kento simply released Eriri's wrist and directly stretched out his arm to grab Eriri's upper body, making her unable to move.

The effect was obvious; no matter how hard Eriri tried, she couldn't break free and would only hurt herself.

However, this posture is somewhat ambiguous, as if Ma Xiandong is hugging a spoiled and unruly girl, and the relationship between the two seems very intimate.

Eriri only has vague feelings for Aki Tomoya in terms of romance, and her only contact with other men is Arima Kento.

Now, Aki Tomoya has pretty much been passed over by Eriri. What that guy did is something no girl could tolerate!

The boy who had come all the way from Nerima Ward, ostensibly to visit an old friend and observe her future high school, but in reality to comfort her, stirred a deep emotion in Eriri Sawamura's heart.

I have known Arima Kento for quite some time. Although I haven't spent as much time with him as I have with Aki Tomoya, my experience with him has been many times better than that with Aki Tomoya.

Clearly, Eriri was happy when she was with Arima Kenjiro, but when she was with Aki Tomoya, she often had to give in to him and do everything he wanted.

Otherwise, the two of them would have a big fight.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

How could Aki Tomoya's unambitious way of getting along with girls compare to Arima Kento's incredibly 'gentle' approach to girls?

Just like now, Eriri, whose mind is quite active, also fantasizes about a scenario where a domineering CEO falls in love with her and appears in reality.

She acted spoiled and unreasonable, but the other person remained calm and composed, using force to subdue her, yet being very gentle, worried that they might actually hurt her.

Isn't this exactly the same as the current situation?

The combined effect of the fantasies in one's heart and the boy one gradually develops feelings for is greater than one plus one equals two.

The most obvious example is that Eriri blushed and said things like "Let me go" but her body didn't struggle. Instead, she relaxed and enjoyed Arima Kento's "hug".

Arima Kento noticed the girl's strange state, but he couldn't help teasing Eriri. He actually quite liked seeing Eriri's embarrassed look.

"Do you really want me to let go?" Arima Kenji asked, glancing at Eriri's flushed face. He continued, "If you don't answer, then I'll just hold you tighter!"

As he spoke, he tightened his grip on Eriri's arm slightly.

What was originally intended to stop Eriri turned into a gentle hug.

Eriri blushed, placed her hands in front of Arima Kento, gently pushed his chest, and whispered through gritted teeth, "Let go!"

Upon hearing this, Arima Kento showed a satisfied expression. He released Eriri's body, but immediately hugged her again.

Because the moment she was released, Eriri felt as if she had no bones and almost fell over.

"Your physical condition is so poor? You need to exercise more in the future, otherwise you'll have a very hard time in the future!"

Arima Kenji helped Eriri to a chair and sat her down. Eriri, slightly embarrassed by Arima Kenji's words, said:

"I used to work out with Tomoya, but we've broken up now, so I don't want to get up in the morning to work out anymore! It's not my fault, it's so awkward to be running around outside all by myself!"

Arima Kento rolled his eyes at Eriri's words, then lightly tapped her forehead, saying, "It's not because of that, it's just that you're too lazy!"

"And seriously, are you really not going to make up with Aki Tomoya? He's been your friend for over ten years!"

These words really provoked Eriri, who immediately bristled and said, "What kind of friend is he! He only cares about his own world and doesn't care about my opinion at all. He's a guy who only cares about himself. I will never forgive him!"

Seeing Eriri's strong reaction, Arima Kento stopped talking.

In this situation, if I were to mention Aki Tomoya, Eriri would get furious, and I might even be disliked as a result.

It's not worth offending a close friend for someone you don't even know.

"Aki Tomoya should think twice before he acts like this!" Arima Kento could only think to himself.

Actually, if Aki Tomoya were willing to apologize to Eriri, their relationship would be back to normal.

Eriri never truly let go of Aki Tomoya; otherwise, her attitude towards him wouldn't have been one of disgust, but rather indifference.

Well, not everyone can handle a tsundere personality. Aki Tomoya also finds it difficult to get along with Eriri, partly because of Eriri's personality!

After chatting for a while, Arima Kento pulled Eriri up, and the two of them toured the school together, without showing any surprise.

Chapter 197 Eriri is a manga artist (laughs)

Although this wasn't Eriri's first time visiting Toyonosaki Academy, she still couldn't help but feel a deep affection for this high school that she loved.

Ma Xiandong's surprise was genuine, even though he had attended university in his previous life.

But the university in my previous life was only a third-rate university, and its facilities were not outstanding.

Judging from the Toyonosaki Academy high school alone, it is larger than my alma mater in my previous life, and the facilities inside seem to be more complete.

Sigh, all that college education was for nothing! My school wasn't even as good as some other people's high school.

The subsequent visits to the other two high schools further solidified Ma Xiandong's belief in this idea.

However, when they came out of Toyosaki Academy, Arima Kento forgot to climb over the wall and instead followed Eriri out through the main gate.

As they were leaving, Ma Xiandong greeted the gatekeeper, Uncle Qin, with a bright smile, saying, "We've finished our visit. Thank you for your leniency!"

Old Master Qin's gaze was unfriendly, but his legs couldn't keep up with the two young people's speed, so in the end he could only watch Asuma Hitoshi and Eriri run away, and couldn't help but sigh softly, saying:

“ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh, this is youth!”

After visiting Toyosaki Academy, Arima Kenjiro and Sawamura Eriri went to have lunch. They chose a nearby restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal.

This time, Eriri insisted on paying the bill. Arima Kento couldn't resist this little tsundere, so he had to secretly pay the bill under the pretext of going to the restroom.

Afterwards, Eriri complained for quite a while.

"I also have a lot of money. I'm not just a student; I'm also a cartoonist, and my works are very popular!"

Eriri's words piqued Arima Kento's curiosity. Although he was writing, it hadn't been long enough for him to achieve financial independence.

According to Eriri, she already has her own little savings!

In that case, Eriri's works should be quite popular, just as she said.

Arima Kento then had the idea of ​​wanting to see Eriri's works.

"Then, could you tell me what works Eriri-sama has created? Or just tell me your name, and I'll definitely buy all your manga to read when I get back!"

If it were an ordinary cartoonist, they would gladly answer the question from a friend, but would also be a little wary and say something like, "Please don't criticize me if you don't like it!"

However, Eriri blushed and kept making excuses, refusing to tell Arima Kento what he wanted to know.

To this, Arima Kento could only say, "Alright, alright! I'll read your work again when you're ready to tell me."

Eriri expressed her deep gratitude for Arima Kento's words. Although she loved drawing manga, she couldn't reveal her identity to others about what she was drawing!

After the meal, the two continued on their previously agreed itinerary, heading to Maesaki High School and Suimei University of the Arts Affiliated High School.
