In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

As always, Xiaoxue sat in her seat reading a book.

Meanwhile, Yuan Qianye acted as naturally as if she were at home, and casually went to her class.

Under the astonished gazes of the other children in the class, including herself.

He just walked right up to her, pulled out a chair from the side, and sat down next to her desk.

He met Yukino's somewhat bewildered gaze, waved his hand dismissively, and said, "Ah, don't worry about me, just keep reading your book."

He was overjoyed to see his experience bar showing a sudden and significant increase in his Japanese language skills!

But he failed to notice that his actions, coupled with his words, had a profound impact.

This made Yukino even more confused, and she even forgot to ask him why he had come.

She put down the book in her hand and glanced around casually.

She possesses an unperturbed mind, indifferent to the scrutinizing gazes of those around her.

But that doesn't mean she can truly remain completely unmoved.

Xiao Xue closed the book she had just opened, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You... this isn't your class."

The social media thug remained oblivious: "So what?"

His matter-of-fact manner made Xiaoxue pause for a moment: "It's not your class, it's not appropriate for you to come here."

"But the teachers never said we couldn't go to other classes."

"..."

After thinking about it carefully under the light snow, it seems that's the case.

However, in kindergarten, don't we all tacitly abide by the unspoken rule that other classes are "forbidden zones"?

Even if you need to find me, shouldn't you stand at the classroom entrance and call me out to say it?

But now, Gen Chiya has broken this rule.

Xiaoxue stopped dwelling on that point and thought of something she had previously overlooked: "What brings you here?"

"Nothing much, I just came to visit a friend."

The experience gain efficiency is really multiplied after the distance is reduced. At this rate, my Japanese level will be raised to LV3 in just a few days, right?

Gen Chiya was quite pleased with himself and gave a casual reply to Koyuki.

After all, Yukinoshita was just a child in his eyes, so there was no need to be so careful in his interactions with her.

What he didn't know was that the word "friend" stirred up similar complex emotions in Xiaoxue once again, similar to those she had felt in the car the day before, causing her heart to waver considerably.

After the break ended, Yuan Qianye got up and left, still feeling unsatisfied.

In Xiaoxue's eyes, his expression was one of reluctance to part.

The child whose chair had been taken by Yuan Qianye only dared to move his chair back after he left, looking aggrieved.

Xiaoxue touched her slightly warm face.

She was unaware that Yuan Qianye's unusual behavior was only the beginning.

After the second drawing class.

Gen Chiya has returned once again.

After the third origami class.

It's lunch break time.

Xiao Xue picked up her chopsticks and started eating, thinking that she could finally be temporarily freed from her "enthusiastic" new friend and catch her breath.

However, just four or five minutes later, Yuan Qianye came back to her table with a milk and a straw in his mouth.

"Ah, don't worry about me, you can eat slowly." Yuan Qianye smiled, using the same old excuse.

"...!"

Yukinoshita noticed the strange, almost tangible gazes from the other children, and this time she finally couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

"What exactly... do you want?"

Behind the slide outside the classroom, Xiaoxue asked a question with a flushed face.

Yuan Qianye belatedly realized that he might have gone a bit too far in his pursuit of experience points.

"Sorry, I just wanted to ask you to hang out... Did I cause you any trouble?"

His straightforward admission of his mistake only confused Xiaoxue.

Did he cause himself trouble?

But I didn't seem as angry as I had imagined. In fact, I was even secretly pleased.

Because he is someone who truly affirms himself, even if he exaggerates somewhat.

He is also a person of good character who is willing to lend a helping hand to others.

Besides, we are... friends...

Shouldn't friends be doing things together and having fun together?

After thinking for a moment, Xiaoxue pointed to a shady spot near the kindergarten fence not far away, where there was a bench.

"From now on, during lunch break or after class, if you'd like... we can meet there."

Such a suggestion was exactly what Yuan Qianye wanted to hear, and he didn't see anything wrong with it.

From that day on, during recess or nap time at the kindergarten, two children would always be seen sitting quietly together in a corner of the front yard.

The young female teachers are thoroughly enjoying shipping this couple!

Xiao Xue gradually became accustomed to having Minamoto Chiya by her side.

She remembered her sister saying that she was all alone and lonely in kindergarten.

After getting to know her better, she felt that this phrase was more appropriate for Yuan Qianye.

At least at the kindergarten, Hayama Hayato could talk to his uncle's son, Hayama Hayato, occasionally.

But in kindergarten, Yuan Qianye couldn't find a single child to play with besides himself.

Xiaoxue thought this was probably due to his personality.

He, like himself, appeared indifferent to everyone else.

But he was different from himself, and he heard people who dared to criticize him.

Unlike me, who found it troublesome and chose to ignore it, he responded directly and sharply!

Koyuki clearly remembers when some children teased him, calling him a sissy who only knew how to play with girls.

She was displeased with this and was about to say something cold when...

He simply snatched their toys, held them high as if to smash them, and acted so unreasonable that they were both afraid and apologized, never daring to provoke him again!

Whenever she thinks of this scene, Koyuki can't help but chuckle.

Time flows by slowly, peacefully, and gently, unnoticed by anyone.

The green vegetation in the kindergarten turned from emerald green to withered yellow, and then sprouted new buds.

In early March of the following year, Chiya Minamoto and Yukino Yukinoshita graduated from kindergarten.

In the graduation photo, the two stood side by side on the edge of the group.

The moment the photographer pressed the shutter, their last moments at kindergarten were captured and preserved.

In the photo.

Chiyo yawned softly, not looking at the camera, appearing calm and languid.

Xiao Xue Shita stood quietly to his right.

The student on the right and she were clearly separated by a large, unobstructed distance.

…………

008: In first grade, we were in different classes at the same school.

Sunny on March 2nd.

in the afternoon.

After the kindergarten senior class finished taking their graduation photos.

Every child ran to their parents' side.

There will be a brief graduation ceremony after that, and the ceremony will officially end once the principal finishes his speech.

The parents of Xiaoxue knew that this day was important to their youngest daughter, so they both made time to attend.

As the older sister, Haruno came along because she was on vacation.

One reason was that I didn't want to miss any of the important moments in my younger sister's growth.

Another reason was that she wanted to see how that precocious little boy would behave in kindergarten.

She saw from afar that her younger sister hadn't come to visit them, her family, after the graduation photo shoot.

After glancing in their direction, he followed behind Yuan Qianye, keeping a step's distance, and walked towards the classroom.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, making her look like a cunning little fox.

After greeting her parents, who were chatting with other parents, she went straight after them.

Upon arriving at the classroom door, I witnessed Yuan Qianye handing a panda keychain to his younger sister.
