People in Shijiao, the man behind Ichinose

"Sorry, I was in the library just now. It's all right now. Please bear with me, Yu Yuan-kun. What can I do for you?"

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that Hiyori doesn't seem to like reading with me lately, so...is it too presumptuous?"

"Of course not! I welcome Yu Yuan-kun to read with me anytime."

"Really?" Yuan Yuyuan chuckled: "Then why hasn't Hiyori contacted me recently? It makes me feel sad that I'm being alienated."

"It's not like that! Actually..." Shiina Hiyori said with some hesitation, "I'm afraid that Ryuen-san will misunderstand me as Yuyuan-kun's undercover agent... It's like this."

Yuan Yuyuan had an indescribable feeling. If it were someone else, he might have believed it, but Shiina Hiyori... didn't seem like someone who would care about such things.

If he was afraid that the conflict between him and Ryuuen would deepen, that didn't make sense. The conflict between them was already deep enough.

"Really? Then let's just take it as it is."

"I'm sorry┗( T﹏T )┛....but I really..."

While they were talking, Yuan Yuyuan had already arrived at the destination. Seeing Shiina Hiyori standing at the door of the library, gesticulating and explaining to him, he quietly walked behind Shiina Hiyori and covered her eyes.

"Guess who I am."

"Hyugen-kun, stop messing around." Shiina Hiyori pushed away the childish hand helplessly, "Let's go read a book?"

"Okay, today I won't bother about Hiyori lying to me."

"Oh...I really don't know what to say about this matter. Let's go read a book."

In a hurry, Shiina Hiyori pulled Yuan Yuyuan into the library. It was not until they arrived at the place where they had sat before that Shiina Hiyori finally reacted and quickly let go of Yuan Yuyuan's hand.

"Sorry, sorry, because I'm... in a hurry to read a book."

"It's okay, I enjoy it too."

Gen Yuyuan said meaningfully, then slowly raised his hand, pretending to hide his presence, but deliberately letting Shiina Hiyori see him sniff the wrist that had just been grabbed.

"Yu Yuan-kun!"

"Shh - this is a library, please keep quiet."

Shiina Hiyori covered her pouting mouth, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly said, "Stop teasing me and read your book."

"Okay, okay~"

"Really."

Seeing Shiina Hiwa blushing and picking up the book and turning to the place where she had previously placed the bookmark and continuing to read, Yuan Yuyuan also ran over and picked up a book at random.

After a while...

"Yu Yuan-kun."

Yuan Yuyuan smiled and nodded: "What's wrong?"

Shiina Hiyori put down the book and asked seriously, "You are here to read a book, right?"

Yuan Yuyuan nodded as a matter of course.

"Of course, why else would I be here?"

Shiina Hiyori looked at the book on the table that Yuan Yuyuan had not opened yet, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute.

She reluctantly put down the book in her hand and said, "If Yu Yuan-jun chooses to read the book instead of reading me, I will be very grateful."

"There's nothing I can do about it," Yuan Yuyuan said with a greasy frown, "Because I suddenly realized that I can find Yan Ruyu without reading a book."

"That's not how you use it... And Yubuchi-kun already has Ichinose-san."

"That's amazing! You can get this kind of information even without any friends."

“…I’ll take this as a compliment.”

"That's true, please accept my compliments."

After the conversation, Shiina Hiyori just felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. Her friend was completely uncooperative, which made her even more distressed as she was not good at socializing.

Fortunately, Yuan Yuyuan also felt that he was bullying an honest person at this time, so he decided to let this social fool go.

"Okay, okay, let's read a book, shall we?"

"it is good."

Shiina Hiyori is very satisfied with his relationship with Gen Yuyuan. He understands her personality, so generally he won't go too far. Some appropriate jokes or pranks will make her feel satisfied that she has truly made friends.

This reminds Shiina Hiyori of a saying: The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water, but it is only limited to certain times.

-------------------------------------

Since Yuan Yuyuan had been forced to study, although reading quietly in the library was a bit boring, he had experienced more boring things than this, so he had nothing to complain about.

I don't know how long it was, but just when Shiina Hiyori was immersed in his books again, Gen Yuyuan spoke again.

"So why did Hiyori decide to distance herself from me?"

"Isn't this already over?"

Speaking of this, even Shiina Hiyori felt a little ashamed: "Don't ask me, Yuyuan-kun, I really can't tell you."

"I knew it! So, it is indeed..."

"No, not Kushida-san!"

Realizing that he had been fooled, Shiina Hiyori silently covered his face with his hands and looked down at his toes: "How could Yuyuan-kun cheat me..."

"I can't help it, because Hiyori will definitely not tell the truth. Although I didn't expect it to be successful."

"I was too defenseless against Yu Yuanjun. I never expected that one day I would be used by Yu Yuanjun."

Such familiar words... Yuan Yuyuan was a little dazed for a moment. Isn't this a trick he often uses? Only this time it's from the victim's perspective.

I didn't expect that Miss Shiina also has the potential to be a green tea. This world must be sick... Wait, this is not the point.

"It doesn't matter! She told you something."

"Well... well, now that it has come to this, it was actually Kushida-san who said something... strange to me."

Shiina Hiyori knew he had no way to escape, so he had to confess everything.

"I had just said goodbye to Yu Yuan-jun..."

……

Facing the sudden silence, Yuan Yuyuan blinked in confusion: "And then? Keep talking."

"Hehe, isn't this to give Yu Yuan-kun some time to get into the situation?" Shiina Hiyori smiled awkwardly: "At that time, Kushida-san came over alone, which was very rare."

"I thought she was also here to read in the library, but I didn't expect her to suddenly..."

……

Yuan Yuyuan, who was interrupted again, suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage. He took a few deep breaths before calming down: "Don't really tell the story like a storyteller!"

First Year, First Semester: Chapter 142 Chapter : Total Defeat

"I'm sorry, because this is how stories are told in books." Shiina Hiyori stuck out his tongue cutely.

"Kusida-san stopped me and invited me to the cafe in the shopping mall to chat for a while, and then she said to me..."

This time, Shiina Hiyori didn't pause for too long. Instead, she showed a strange smile and then said, "Kushida-san said... Ichinose-san complained to her about me because Hanebuchi-kun and I were often alone in the library."

Yuan Yuyuan was shocked and asked, "Do you believe it?"

“No, no, no, of course not, but I’m not very well either…” Shiina Hiyori nodded firmly: “If it’s Yuyuan-kun, he will definitely understand!”

"Of course... I understand."

Why! Why does it feel more and more like I'm looking in a mirror!

Yuan Yuyuan now finally understood what it felt like to talk to the Riddler - it was very frustrating, but he couldn't say it out loud.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yuyuan decided to take back the initiative.

"If you don't believe it, why did Hiyori still distance herself from me?"

"Because Kushida-san is very charismatic, this act of asserting sovereignty makes me, a nobody in the class, very nervous, afraid that..."

"Tell the truth!"

"…Don't be so fierce."

Shiina Hiyori smiled slyly: "Actually, I wanted to see when Yu Yuan-kun would come to see me, but the result was really disappointing."

"I see. I'm the type who stays in the dorm quietly when no one's dating me."

Yuan Yuyuan did not feel guilty at all, but refuted with reason and evidence:

"The uninhabited island and the preferential treatment exam were a bit too conspicuous. It's easy for people to think that Hiyori is my undercover agent."

"stare--"

"what……"

"Nothing." Shiina Hiyori nodded with satisfaction: "Even I have heard a little about Yu Yuan-kun's otaku nature, so I guess I'll pass this time."

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Shiina-sama."

Yuan Yuyuan bowed his head devoutly to the female Bodhisattva, and then taught confidently: "So if Hiyori wants to see me, she has to take the initiative."

“Yes, yes~”

"It's okay not to learn so quickly with such perfunctory answers!"

"Yes~"

After resolving this non-existent rift, the two smiled at each other and continued reading as usual.

Unlike the smiling Shiina Hiyori, this was the most torturous library date for Genyuen.

He felt a little restless throughout the rest of the morning. After finally getting to noon, Yuan Yuyuan spoke first:

"It's getting late, how about we have a meal first before continuing?"

"Yu Yuan-kun, are you feeling impatient? It's okay if you don't have to put yourself in a difficult position to accommodate me."

"I've been spotted!" Yuan Yuyuan widened his eyes in a pretentious manner.

"Shiina-sama actually has the ability to read minds?! Are you Anya? I really don't recognize Mount Fuji."

"What kind of anime character am I? It's Yu Yuan-kun who's impatient."

Shiina Hiyori patted the other person on the back and said, "But you managed to hold on until now and said it out loud. You are really a very gentle boy."

"Thank you so much. My patience with beautiful girls is always inexhaustible."

"You may say that, but Yu Yuan-jun has been impatient for a long time, right?"

"This is because……"

Yuan Yuyuan's face suddenly fell, and he held his stomach and said with difficulty: "Because my sleep and rest habits have not been healthy recently, my period came to see me early."

"This is a very indecent joke!"

"I'm sorry, please allow me to drink a glass of wine as punishment for my recklessness."

"Really?" Shiina Hiyori looked helplessly at Yuan Yuyuan who didn't care.

"It's okay with me, but please don't say that to other girls."

"Okay, okay. I will keep Master Shiina's teachings in mind."

"It's okay if you don't remember it. Let's go eat. It's a novel experience to eat with Yu Yuan-kun."

...With the others, right? Did Ms. Shiina's skills all focus on being treacherous and having a good reputation?

"Let's go then, please."

Yuan Yuyuan stood up with no expression on his face and led the way.

The two came to a romantic (not so) French restaurant. Since Ms. Shiina is the type who doesn't talk while eating, it wouldn't be a good idea for a chatterbox to spoil the mood.

In silence, Yuan Yuyuan successfully unlocked the achievement of dining with Miss Shiina, and then the two of them... separated.

On the way back to the dormitory, Yuan Yuyuan felt more and more uncomfortable. This was probably the first time he was truly at a disadvantage in an interaction with a girl. He felt that he would be fooled by Miss Shiina without realizing it.

Because the girls around her have little fighting power, even Ji Yexue, who has the strongest fighting power, can only be said to be spoiled. In terms of scheming, she is still not as good as this literary girl, and Ji Yexue knows how to grasp the right degree.

So it's really too unfamiliar, right?
