My Romance Simulation with Them

She has a gentle temperament and her demeanor exudes the air of a well-bred lady.

Even someone as mild-mannered as her couldn't hold back any longer.

Because Nanxiang's attitude just now was really too cold.

Yes.

That's too cold.

From the conversation to now preparing to leave.

That kind of attitude of turning around and leaving without any lingering feelings.

It even gave Hida Shoko the illusion that the two of them might be man-eating vengeful spirits or monsters?

Otherwise, why would Nanxiang not turn his head and be so indifferent?

She couldn't hold back and finally spoke up, asking Nanxiang to wait.

What Hida Shoko didn't expect was...

She clearly said 'wait'.

But Nanxiang ahead moved even faster.

They showed absolutely no intention of stopping.

This extremely rude behavior finally made Hida Shoko lose her temper.

She jogged forward and blocked Nanxiang's path.

"......" Nanxiang time.

He had originally planned to turn around and leave, pretending that he couldn't hear the sounds behind him at all.

As a result, the plan was aborted on the spot by the blue-haired girl who suddenly appeared before it was even implemented.

No way.

Nanxiang had no choice but to stop and calmly ask, "Is there anything else?"

Is there anything else...?

Why can this man ask her that question with such confidence?

Hida Shoko said incredulously, "Nango-senpai, you clearly heard me telling you to wait a moment, but you kept walking forward with your head down. Isn't that a bit rude?"

"I was thinking about something and didn't hear you."

Nanxiang uttered the lie as naturally as breathing.

"Didn't you hear me—?"

The reason given by Nango almost made Hida Shoko gasp for breath.

You should know that she was quite loud just now.

Nanxiang was not far from them.

There's no way they could not have heard it.

How can this person lie with their eyes wide open?

She really wanted to delve into this issue.

But seeing Matsuzaka Satou standing behind her, Hida Shoko took a deep breath and decided to stop arguing.

"If you didn't hear me, you didn't hear me. Anyway, that's not what I wanted to say... but... Senior Nango, it's just a meal, there's no need to refuse like this, is there?"

She looked up, her violet eyes meeting Nanxiang's directly: "It won't take up too much of your time, Senior Nanxiang. It's just a meal, it should only take ten or twenty minutes, right?"

That's right.

Hida Shoko's idea was very simple.

After school, I'll just find a restaurant to eat at.

Then Matsuzaka Sato expressed his gratitude to Nango.

This is enough.

It won't take long at all.

There's absolutely no need for such a blunt rejection, is there?

"..." Nanxiang did not speak.

Hida Shoko remained silent when she met Nango.

She immediately perked up and continued speaking as if striking while the iron was hot:

"This is the first time I've ever seen Sugar take the initiative to invite a guy out. Senior Nango, you shouldn't have the heart to refuse a girl who's inviting a guy out for the first time, right?"

This statement is not a lie.

In Hida Shoko's memory, Matsuzaka Satou had basically never taken the initiative to invite any male peers to dinner.

When I go out, I usually go out with a large number of friends.

This is also a key reason why Hida Shoko took the initiative to stop Nango—

She couldn't bear to see her best friend be rejected on her first invitation.

"If it really doesn't work... um... senior Nango... do you think this amount is enough?"

He noticed Nango's unmoved gaze.

As if she had made up her mind, Hida Shoko simply showed the banknotes in her wallet to Nango Toki.

Compared to Matsuzaka Satou, who works outside, her family is much wealthier, so this amount of money is nothing to her.

No matter what, she had to help her best friend arrange to go out with Nanxiang today.

Even if it involves the temptation of money.

but--

"I'm sorry, Hida-kun, I'm not a host, and I really can't get away."

Even if you see paper money.

Nanxiang did not hesitate for a moment when he refused.

Even after saying that, he stood up decisively and strode towards his class.

"..." Hida Shoko.

She genuinely couldn't understand it.

Both she and Matsuzaka Satou are rare beauties.

And their attitude has become so humble.

Why did he still act so stubbornly in Nanxiang?

She couldn't help but open her mouth: "That guy... even though he's an upperclassman, isn't his attitude a bit too cold?"

The entire exchange took place from beginning to end.

Nanxiang simply responded calmly and indifferently with two utterances.

There was absolutely no intention to consider the feelings of the two girls.

She glanced at Matsuzaka Satou instinctively.

Seeing that the other person was still staring blankly in the direction Nanxiang had left, I couldn't help but offer some words of comfort:

"Oh, there's really no need to worry about it so much. The other person has already said they've received your gratitude..."

Then she couldn't help but speculate maliciously about Nango: "In the end, a guy who rejects both of us, no matter how handsome or academically successful, will definitely not have a girlfriend—he really doesn't understand women's minds at all."

Yes.

Before I met Nango.

Hida Shoko truly never imagined that such a boy could exist in the world.

He completely misunderstands girls' feelings and doesn't know how to be flexible.

How could a girl possibly fall in love with a guy who's so unyielding?

She spoke with conviction and great confidence, seemingly quite certain that she didn't have a girlfriend in Nanxiang.

Her emotions seemed to affect Matsuzaka Satou on the other side as well.

The other person withdrew their gaze from Nanxiang, turned their head, and suddenly asked:

"Is that so, Shoko? Do you really think Nango-senpai definitely doesn't have a girlfriend?"

Her tone was somewhat serious.

At this moment, that delicate and pretty face seemed to be tinged with a kind of seriousness.

This sudden, serious question, directed at Hida Shoko, surprised her as well.

Because in her memory.

Matsuzaka Satou has always been the kind of quiet, gentle, and smiling beautiful girl.

That face, always peaceful, almost never showed that expression to others.

"Huh? No... that... sugar...?"

"Does Xiangzi think that Senior Nanxiang definitely doesn't have a girlfriend?"

Ignoring her best friend's surprised words, Matsuzaka Satou tilted her head and asked another question.

"..."

Hida Shoko didn't know how to answer.

After all, whether Nango had a girlfriend or not was essentially a joke she made up on the spot, something she used to comfort Matsuzaka Satou.

But she finally nodded: "...Yes, at least that's what I think."

"Yeah...?"

Under Hida Shoko's gaze, Matsuzaka Satou simply responded with a single sentence, then turned back to look at the spot where Nango Toki had just disappeared.
