If you can't learn, then just fall in love

"You five sisters are one, so if Nino can do it, the others should be able to do it too. In this way, it won't be a problem to pay for your own tuition." Hanyu continued, "Ichika is already working part-time, Yotsuba is cheerful and it will be easy for her to find a suitable job, and Miku is the one I worry the least about because she is actually stronger than anyone else."

"May... I probably need to find a job that provides meals so I can make money."

Nino couldn't help laughing, but then she felt that this was not good for her sister, so she suppressed her laughter, "Do you have any opinions about our Mayu? She still has many strengths. Maybe she can find a job that allows her to eat delicious food and make money."

Thinking that this idea was a bit far-fetched, Nino snorted and indicated that she would skip this topic.

"So the most important thing for you now is to improve your grades. As long as you pass all the exams, your father will recognize you."

Nino suddenly let go of her hand, which scared Hanyu beside her, but also made him relieved. As a result, the girl walked around to the other side and took the other hand.

Nino turned her head away with a slightly red face and a bit embarrassed. "Well, my hands are a little sweaty, so I want to change them. Don't even think about letting go before we get home. Since you took me away from my dad, you should take responsibility."

Holding the boy's hand, Nino stepped on the shadows under the street lamps, "Not only will you be responsible for taking me home, but you will also have to help me with my homework. Even though I'm stupid, I think I can do it."

"Are you willing to believe me? Qingkong."

Following behind the girl, Hanyu smiled, "Well, I'm willing to believe Nino."

Do you want to? I do. Why does this sound so wrong?

"Thank you." Nino turned around and smiled happily, "Please give me more advice in the future."

Walking slowly in front, Nino recalled the summer when she was eight years old. At that time, she was holding Hanyu's hand helplessly, looking at his back, and longing for him who had a bad attitude but was unusually gentle.

She had been confused before, wondering which one was the real him, but now Nino felt that it didn't matter. Qingkong was Qingkong anyway. He always appeared when she needed him most and helped her unconditionally.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight." Nino felt Hanyu's hand move, "Don't worry, I'm just expressing my feelings, I don't mean anything else."

"I told you, Nino, that idiot, definitely wouldn't think that much."

"Then tell me what you said again?" Nino snorted unhappily, "After all, the moonlight tonight is really beautiful."

"The moonlight is bright and the streets are filled with mist." After experiencing this kind of thing with Runxiang, Hanyu found some words to describe the moonlight. Nino's provocation was completely meaningless.

Not wanting to bother with this idiot, Nino walked leisurely on the road. Although she felt a little sorry for her sisters at home, today she just wanted to stay with Qingkong for a while longer.

"Well, if you're so slow, the food will be cold when you get home, and it won't taste good then." Hanyu reminded Nino kindly, and mourned for himself because Miku also made a meal for him, "and they are all waiting for you."

Looking back with a look of horror, Nino was a little at a loss, "Huh? I thought that was your excuse for taking me away, but it turned out to be true?"

Hanyu took out his cell phone to show Nino. After realizing the cruelty of reality, Nino covered her face helplessly. Who would eat the food made by Miku, an idiot with a poor sense of taste? No wonder Yotsuba and Mayu were so moved that they were about to cry. If it were her, she probably wouldn't dare to touch it.

"If you act like this, Miku will cry in front of you. Please act like a sister and show the same spirit you showed when you spoke for Mayu just now." Although he is not a foodie, Hanyu does not have such high requirements for food. He reminds Nino, "That is Miku's intention. You must eat it with joy."

Rolling her eyes at Hanyu, Nino didn't want to eat that kind of thing, and was even more embarrassed to admit that she had taught Miku how to cook for a while.

"Anyway, let's run back first. Even if we don't eat, we can't let them wait too long." Nino checked the time, grabbed Hanyu's hand and started running, "Can you keep up, Aozora?"

Hanyu said that he was not even afraid of Yotsuba, let alone Nino.

Holding the boy's hand tightly, Nino felt that she seemed to like Hanyu Aozora more. She didn't know whether she should confess her feelings at this time, but there was one thing she was sure of.

"I love you hopelessly, Qingkong."

"Sorry, your voice was too soft, I didn't hear you clearly." Hanyu only heard his own name, "Can you say it again?"

Nino listened, breathing slightly, and looked at Hanyu seriously. She remembered what she said on the day Hanyu was going to study abroad: if there was anyone who would fall in love with such an awkward and morbid person, it would be herself.

"I will tell you no matter how many times you want to hear it, but are you ready?" Nino looked at Hanyu provocatively. Her confession at that time ended with 'I didn't intend for you to accept it', but now she doesn't want to do that. What she wants to do is to confess, leaving no way out for herself, so that the person she loves the most knows that her feelings are stronger than anyone else's. "Or do you want to play dumb as always?"

Shaking his head slightly, Hanyu knew that if he played dumb too much, he would really become stupid.

"Well, I'm telling you, listen carefully." Nino held Hanyu's hand tightly, "I..."

He suddenly let go, Nino took a step back, and turned her head away in embarrassment.

Hanyu was puzzled. He turned around and found Ichika standing behind him at a loss with dessert in her hand. "Well, I was just passing by. My sister is still waiting for me at home. I'll leave first."

Nino stamped her foot, walked over to Ichika, helped carry the dessert box, glanced at Hanyu, and motioned for him to follow.

Hanyu looked at Ichika gratefully, and Ichika responded with a wry smile.

The three of them were walking on the way home. Nino missed the feeling of holding hands. If the moon wasn't so bright today, could she secretly hold Qingkong's hand? She couldn't help but think so.

At this moment, Nino hoped that there would be dark clouds blocking the moonlight so that she could secretly write the words "I like you so much" on Qingkong's palm.

After finally mustering up the courage, it ended up like this. Ernai was in tears.

Chapter 67 Indirect Kiss

"Ah, welcome back." After Yotsuba opened the door and saw that it was Nino and Ichika, she smiled happily, although that smile seemed a little unnatural to Hanyu. "Aozora Aozora, Miku has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Me?" Hanyu pointed at himself, a little surprised. "I'm going to go home and check on the cats first. I came back a little late today and I'm afraid they're hungry."

When Hanyu walked into the apartment, the masters who were licking their paws on the sofa rushed to his side, and the sleeping little Xingxing also looked at his servant with sleepy eyes.

Hanyu filled the cat food and took out a few cans of fish. Seeing them eating and thinking about his own situation in a while, he felt inexplicably sad. To be honest, he had tasted the cat food and it seemed to be a little bit better than the food made by Miku.

"I'm going to my sister's house. Don't worry about me." Hanyu joked and touched their heads. "I'm sorry, Rengar, I can't make you delicious food today. I'll make it up to you tomorrow."

Rengar, who seemed to be the boss of the family, barked and buried his head in eating cat food, unmoved by Hanyu's farewell words.

"Let's not criticize Miku anymore. Besides, I'm not the only one suffering." Based on the principle that it's a win if I'm not the only one suffering, Hanyu knocked on the door of the Nakano family next door, "Excuse me... Why do I feel like you look black, Ichika?"

Ichika narrowed her eyes at Hanyu and sighed helplessly, "It may be because I'm too tired recently. Don't worry, Qingkong."

In fact, Ichika knew better than anyone that she was not that tired, but was in a bad mood because of what happened just now. She had finished work early today and wanted to share the cake with her sisters, but she accidentally saw her sister's confession.

Although I didn't hear the specific content, judging from the atmosphere at the time and the expression on Nino's face, she was definitely going to confess, okay?

Ichika, who didn't have that kind of courage, envied the straightforward Nino a little, but at the same time, she felt very sorry for interrupting her confession. It would probably take a long time for her to gather enough courage, she felt really sorry.

Yes, that's right, I just feel a little sorry for Nino and Aozora. This is just a normal feeling of embarrassment and does not include any other emotions.

Ichika convinced herself and tucked her hair behind her ears, pretending to be indifferent and free-spirited. She definitely did not like Hanyu Aozora, and she definitely did not feel sad when something she loved was taken away from her.

Nino and Qingkong had met when they were children, and Nino has fallen in love with Qingkong since then. So what reason do I have not to bless her and help her?

That's right, what I have to do next is to assist Nino, help her...

"You look a little pale, take a rest." Hanyu felt a little embarrassed when he recalled what happened just now, but this was no reason to not care about Ichika, "Yotsuba, can you get your sister a glass of water?"

Yotsuba stood up, and the ribbon on her head shook, "Hey, got it!"

Hanyu, who had no idea what Ichika was thinking, just thought that she was embarrassed and didn't think about it any further.

"Aozora-kun, you're here." Miku came out wearing an apron, and when she saw Hanyu, she looked at him nervously, "I tried to cook according to the method you and Nino taught me today, but it was still very bad."

"It's okay. Doesn't it smell good?" Hanyu sniffed. The smell coming from the kitchen was not as bad as Miku said. "Be a little more confident."

As a result, Hanyu was stared at by Miku with a puffy face. He looked very unhappy. He was a little puzzled, wondering how he had offended her.

Handing the water soaked in salted cherry blossoms to Ichika, Yotsuba gently tugged at Hanyu's sleeve, "Nino is the one cooking now."

Miku lowered her head. As expected, she was no match for Nino. Qingzora-kun had taught her so many times, but she still couldn't even do the simplest thing.

"I originally just wanted to give it a try, and wanted to make a dish that Qingkong-kun would like, but the finished product was really horrible." Miku took off her apron and put it aside. "I was still hoping for a chance, so I sent you a message saying 'Overcooked', hoping you would try it."

"But I took a bite just now and found that it was not tasty at all. It was salty and bitter. Even May took a bite and didn't want to eat it anymore. Yotsuba also said she wouldn't eat anything."

Touching the edge of the plate with her fingertips, Miku felt that she might not have the talent for cooking. She could not make meals that everyone would like as easily as Nino and Hanyu, and she could not become a virtuous girl like Nino.

May blinked, what did you mean by 'not even eating a bite herself', it made her act like she was a big eater.

He understood why Miku would send him that kind of message. Hanyu walked to the dining table curiously and saw the black "dish" of unknown substance. He felt that it was not that horrible, and was probably on the same level as Fumino's.

"Can I have a taste, Miku?" Hanyu didn't want to discourage Miku, "I'm a little hungry."

"Eh?" Miku was a little surprised, but then calmed down, "No, if Qingkong-kun eats it, you will definitely think I'm stupid, so it's better not to eat it."

Hanyu tapped Miku's forehead. "This is the first time I know that Miku is so mean. I'm almost starving but she won't let me eat."

He didn't want to listen to Miku's advice because he had experienced this before. When he first learned to cook, he was always nervous and the dishes he made had all kinds of small flaws. But even so, his cooking teacher, a certain dark-skinned idiot, carefully tasted his failed dishes and gave him advice.

It doesn’t matter whether the food is delicious or not, what matters is whether there are people who want to eat it.

"No." Sanjiu pursed her lips, "But first, please don't laugh at me."

Handing the chopsticks to Hanyu, Miku sat next to him, leaning over the table and looking at Hanyu seriously, trying to record his expression. If there was even the slightest bit of reluctance on his face, she would take the plate away. She didn't want Hanyu to force himself.

"It's a bit strange to look at you like this." Hanyu was frightened by Miku's stare, but after seeing that Miku didn't intend to look away even with a red face, he simply lowered his head and clasped his hands together, "I'm going to start."

It was indeed salty and bitter, but not too salty. Hanyu ate it mouthful by mouthful, finishing the small amount of food to begin with. "Thank you for the treat."

Yotsuba and Mayu, who were standing nearby, looked at Hanyu with admiration. Yotsuba even poured Hanyu a glass of water, which made Miku very unhappy, but at the same time she was also a little worried that Hanyu might have eaten too much.

"Actually, Miku's level is about the same as when I first started learning cooking."

"Well, I've been practicing for a long time." Miku pointed at herself.

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Hanyu was choked by Miku's words.

"I was kidding~" Miku looked at Hanyu happily, "Because someone is willing to eat what I made, I'm a little happy, so I played a joke on Qingkong-kun."

"Anyway, thank you, Aozora-kun." Miku knew that Hanyu did this to comfort herself, so she pushed the water to Hanyu's hand and smiled, "I will try my best to catch up with Nino next time, and Aozora-kun will be the judge then."

Nino was humming in the kitchen while cooking the ingredients. She could hear the sounds outside the kitchen clearly. Although it was nice not to have to eat what Miku made, she felt unhappy when she thought that Hanyu had eaten it all.

"What are you talking about catching up with me? Humph, that's impossible." Nino recalled the scene of the two of them walking back hand in hand just now, and her expression became soft, like a rose without thorns, delicate and charming, "Find a chance to confess again, I want to date Qingkong."

Nino, who was holding her face and daydreaming, felt someone poking her shoulder. She turned around suddenly and found it was Miku.

"I need to wash the dishes, Nino, please let me alone for a moment."

"Oh, okay." Nino stopped being a fangirl and stepped aside. She found that there was only one pair of chopsticks. "Miku, are there no other chopsticks?"

"Well, there's only this pair."

Nino looked at Miku. She remembered that when she came back, Miku was using this pair of chopsticks to eat. If there was no other pair, wouldn’t Qingkong be using this pair?

"Ah!" Miku reacted.

Nino gritted her teeth as she watched Miku kissing Aoki.

Chapter 68: Long-lost ex-girlfriend

"I haven't seen Yuzu-kun much recently." Kasumigaoka Utaha propped up her face and tapped the keyboard with her other hand boredly, "Did he go to see his real childhood sweetheart?"

Ying Lili, who was drawing at the side, accidentally tore the paper. "How, how is it possible? Xiao Qingkong's childhood sweetheart is me. There is no one else. This is absolutely true. Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not saying you're not, but there might be a girl who looks more like my childhood sweetheart than you." Senior Kasumigaoka typed a few lines with one hand, "We went to school together since we were young, and went to elementary school, junior high school, and high school together. We're just passers-by who studied and grew up together with Yuzu-kun."

"Or they met once when they were young and established a deep bond, and then they met again many years later. It seemed like a gift from heaven, but in fact, it was a highly-matched role of a childhood sweetheart."

After not hearing Eriri's rebuttal for a long time, Kasumigaoka looked at her curiously, but found that her brain had crashed. Could it be that she had accidentally touched Sawamura's sore spot?

"These two are the character settings I want to use in my new work. What do you think, Sawamura-kun?" Sighing, Kasumigaoka thought it would be better to protect the club's painters. If they doubted their identity as childhood sweethearts, they would probably collapse. "As a genuine childhood sweetheart, you should be able to give useful suggestions."

"Of course, as Xiao Qingkong's legitimate childhood sweetheart, I have a lot of say in this matter." With her hands on her hips, Eriri regained her previous composure, "I think these two are completely evil and unorthodox. Only people like me are orthodox."

Kasumigaoka looked at Eriri, who was suddenly getting excited and responding with some "hmm" and "ah" sounds, and was a little skeptical about how much she really valued her childhood sweetheart relationship with Hanyu.

"In short, the tsundere childhood sweetheart is the best in the world. The feeling of being close yet distant, considering the other person more important than anyone else but not daring to say it out loud is really great." Eriri raised her finger and brainwashed Kasumigaoka Utaha like a missionary. "The gentle type will give the other person the feeling that 'I have been with him/her for such a long time, we are very familiar with each other, just like brothers and sisters', and the childhood sweetheart who fell from the sky is even more heretical. How can they get to the top just by relying on a promise or a single encounter in childhood? How is that possible?"

"Tsundere types also have fatal flaws." Kasumigaoka Utaha took a pocky from her right side and put it in her mouth. "They always stop because of some small things. There are very few people who can confess their love, let alone fall in love. You and Yuzu-kun are simply a miracle. I'm curious about how you two are together."

"By the way, when did you buy Pocky?"

"I didn't buy it." Ying Lili looked confused.

Hanyu put the ice cola on Eriri's face, took the pocky from Kasumigaoka's hand, and sat down as if nothing had happened.

"When did you come here?"

Taking out the textbook from his bag, Hanyu lowered his head and began to write, "I came in about a minute ago when you were asking Eriri a sensitive question, Senior."

Hanyu greeted them when he came in, but the two girls were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice him.

"Then it's just right for Yuzu-kun to answer my questions."

Helping Eriri open the Coke, Hanyu continued reading the book, "That story is a bit long, I'm too lazy to tell you, you can go read the prequel, senior."

Eriri, with a flushed face, snorted softly, took a sip of the Coke, and then, lost in sweet memories, she stared at Hanyu blankly, and it seemed that she would not wake up for a while.

Seeing the appearance of this stupid couple (front), Kasumigaoka knew that she would not be able to satisfy her curiosity today, so she just thought about the plot and typed with a frown.

"Don't be in a daze. Don't you have to finish your manuscript?" After a few minutes, Hanyu reminded Eriri, "A few days ago, you complained to me on Line that you delayed other people's manuscripts because of the game."

"Right." Eriri nodded stupidly and put the Coke aside. "After I finish these paintings, I can take a break. But there is one more troublesome thing."

If even Kashiwagi Eri finds it troublesome, then it must be a major problem. Hanyu and Kasumigaoka Utaha both pricked up their ears. They were very curious about what could restrain Eriri.

"It's an activity for my club." Eriri, who was lying on the table like a dead fish, stretched her body. "I want to make a pillow or something. For a pillow, the illustration has to be very large, and there are a lot of details that have to be taken care of when making it, so this is my first attempt."
