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

Maruo nodded and smiled at Eriri as a response to her greeting.

Although that smile looked particularly incongruous in Qingkong's eyes.

"Eri, I have something to ask Aozora, could you please take care of Mayu?"

Eriri looked at Mayu, it turned out that this child was not Ichika, who was in the same class as Aozora. "Yes, no problem, Miss Mayu, please come over here."

May shook her head and stood firmly beside Qingkong. She couldn't let Qingkong, who had nothing to do with her, face her father alone.

This is her business.

"Eri, I can't leave yet," Mayu smiled apologetically, "What dad and Aozora have to say concerns me, I have to stay here."

Eriri glanced at Aozora and nodded considerately, "I understand, Mayu-san."

At an angle where no one could see, Ying Lili gritted her teeth and twisted the soft flesh on Qingkong's waist.

While chewing on snacks, Mayu sighed sincerely, "Eri-san is really gentle, just like a young lady in a novel."

"Probably." Qingkong's expression was distorted and he wanted to cry but he couldn't. Sure enough, a tsundere character couldn't be completely changed in a short time. "By the way, can you stand on the opposite side? The way my uncle looks at us makes me a little nervous."

May nervously stuffed the last bite of the snack into her mouth, "I just met my dad too. Well, he didn't have time to go home, so he asked me to meet him here."

Qingkong thought, no wonder it was you who came to Nakano’s house. If it wasn’t for the breakdown of the talk between uncle and Nino last time, the person who came would probably be Nino.

After all, that girl has the most ladylike temperament.

If she comes, she can also stack the colors, Qingkong thought wildly.

"Aozora-kun, I have to leave soon, so let me make it short. I can let bygones be bygones for what happened last time, but my attitude has not changed." Maruo's indifferent eyes made May feel a little uneasy.

"I'm sorry, I feel the same way. I promised her that I would be responsible for them." Qingkong looked into Uncle Maruo's eyes without any intention of backing down.

"Let's not talk about their grades. What I'm worried about now is the lives of the five of them. Jiang Duan told me that May ate a lot last night. I can't help but worry if they don't even have enough to eat normally."

Qingkong chuckled, "Although it's a bit rude, but May's appetite is not average, right?"

The meat bun monster May glared at Qingkong fiercely.

Chapter 99: Either eating or preparing to eat

"..." Nakano Maruo looked at Qingkong expressionlessly, "Let's not talk about May, she didn't look full last time either. Qingkong, you should know that very well."

Qingkong knew that the "she" his uncle was referring to was Nino. "I told her to eat more that day, otherwise she would have no strength to run away. Is this explanation okay?"

"Did you intend to escape from me from the beginning?"

Qingkong nodded seriously, "Indeed."

Not knowing who the 'she' they were talking about was, May was completely confused, but knowing that someone ate as much as she did, she suddenly felt better.

"They have really entered their rebellious phase." As the adoptive father of the five sisters, Maruo felt a little tired. "Mayuki-kun, all of you please go home before the day after tomorrow."

"Eh?" Knowing what day the day after tomorrow was, May hesitated a little, "But the five of us have already decided where to go."

Maruo looked at Satsuki, "Even though it will be shabby?"

"No, as long as we are together, that's enough!" May retorted to her father, "This is a decision made by the five of us together."

May looked at her father with a determined face, hoping to make her father understand her determination in this way.

Qingkong on the side glanced at May with a slightly puzzled look on his face.

"Looking at Qingkong-kun's expression, he probably doesn't know what the day after tomorrow is."

May bit her lip, "He doesn't need to know. He has enough troubles already."

As a neighbor and friend, Qingkong has helped us enough in study and life. There is no need for him to worry about our birthdays.

May thought sincerely.

"Um, should I say something?" Qingkong looked a little embarrassed. "I, no, we have actually prepared birthday presents for the five of you."

May looked surprised, "How did Qingkong know that the day after tomorrow is our birthday?"

Logically speaking, Qingkong shouldn't know this. Could someone have told him? Nino, or Miku?

"Anyway, I didn't know it from you five." Qingkong interrupted Wu Yue's reasoning, "Please keep it a secret for a while, Wu Yue. We wanted to give you a surprise."

Looking into Qingkong's eyes, May was a little surprised and a little happy, "You are only surprised but not happy, Qingkong."

"It's the same to you. I was shocked when I heard you say that the five of you were going out to play. It would be bad if you ended up leaving empty-handed." Qingkong smiled.

Watching the interaction between the two, Maruo had a blank expression on his face. "May, in my mind, you have always been a frank and sensible child. Do you really think that the decision made by the five of you is rational?"

If May had been questioned by her father just now, she would still have hesitated, but now she has no doubt at all about the decision made by everyone.

"Well, I believe in them and myself. Whether it's joy or sorrow, the five of us will share it together. This is what mom taught us, and I want to carry it out." May looked at her father seriously, "I'm not a sensible child, dad, I'm a fool, but even though I'm such a fool, Qingkong and everyone in the Classics Club believe in me, and I'm really happy."

"So, please allow me to act according to what my mother taught me," May smiled, looking particularly bright in this season. "I don't know who the 'she' you and Qingkong are talking about is, but I know that my sisters always give me food without making a fuss, and she behaves like that because of me."

Qingkong thought that Nino was really vicious. She called Wu Yue a meat bun monster, but she still let Wu Yue eat so much. Was she afraid that the child would not gain weight?

However, Qingkong once again realized that all five sisters were gentle fools.

However, the five-equal-division theory seemed to be a little wrong, Qingkong touched his chin.

"I see. I understand." Maruo nodded. "Since you said that your mother taught you this, I can't say anything. Besides, it seems that it is the responsibility of parents to indulge their children's willfulness. But it has happened twice. There will not be a third time. If I can't see your performance, I will take action even if it means doing something that makes Rena unhappy."

Qingkong was stunned for a moment and asked May, "Excuse me, who is Reina?"

"Reina is my mother." May leaned close to Qingkong's ear and whispered in her ear.

If it were normal, Qingkong would still complain about the pattern between the mother and daughter's names, but now there is something he can't figure out.

Seeing the two whispering, Maruo felt helpless. It was fine that he had snatched one away last time, but they were actually talking in whispers as if no one was around. "That's it, I'll leave first."

Looking at her father's back, May hesitated for a while, but still called him out, "Well, Dad, you have spent a lot of effort to help us grow up. I really thank you, but I will not back down on this matter. Sorry."

Hearing Mayu's thanks, Maruo smiled, "There's nothing to be sorry about, Mayu-kun. It's my responsibility to raise you."

May scratched her cheek, "Well, there is one more thing that won't back down. Can you please stop calling me May-kun and just use my name?"

Hearing similar words from Nino, Maruo nodded, "I understand, Mayu, have fun here for a while and then go back. Don't let your sisters worry."

"Yeah!" Although she knew that her father had not agreed to her yet, May felt that this was enough. What she needed to do next was to work hard to let her father see her growth and progress.

Qingkong, who was standing aside, drank a sip of the lemonade that Yinglili gave him, and thought to himself, Uncle, you should take May away. Who can bear to keep eating so much?

"Qingkong~" After watching her father leave, May looked at Qingkong kindly, "Who did you say was not average just now?"

With a laugh, Qingkong looked around and said something else, "May is really nice."

"Huh?" Miss May was a little overwhelmed by Qingkong's sudden words, "What nonsense are you talking about..."

Qingkong took a step back after successfully changing the subject. "I'm telling the truth. May gives people a warm feeling. The word may comes from the Latin word maius, which is the goddess of spring and life. I think it's quite appropriate."

Miss May, who was called a goddess by Qingkong, felt a little embarrassed, "There is no such thing as a goddess."

But I was very happy. It turned out that Qingkong looked at me this way. I thought he thought I only knew how to eat.

The girl's smile is as beautiful as the flamboyant flowers in May.

"But Gao Yue also has various shortcomings." Qingkong took a step back to distance himself, and calmly replaced Wu Yue with Gao Yue. "May disease is because of it. Just after a month of school, there is a holiday, and I feel depressed."

May was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Qingkong was talking about Yueyue and not herself. Isn't this narcissistic?

No, although my name is May, it is pronounced differently from the two conventional ways. I heard it very clearly just now that Qingkong was pronouncing my name.

“Hanyu Aozora!” May looked at him fiercely, “Are you playing a trick on me on purpose?”

Qingkong chuckled, "You just realized it, silly Miss May."

May was so annoyed by Qingqi, but couldn't chase him because she was wearing a dress. She could only stare at him. Her puffed up face was very cute, just like a bun.

"Miss May, I was wrong, please forgive me." Qingkong took the snacks from the side and handed them to her sincerely, "I just wanted to make a joke, please don't mind."

Although she was still very angry, May spared the bad guy this time for the sake of the dessert. After all, only when she was full would she have the energy to teach him a lesson!

"By the way, who could that person be running away with Qingkong?" The sweet taste spread in her mouth, and May narrowed her eyes. "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. Whoever runs away with him has nothing to do with me."

Qingkong was relieved to see May like this. As expected, as long as she was like this, she would forget the reason why she was angry in the first place.

"Zero..." Qingkong, who had relaxed, fell into deep thought, but suddenly felt someone poking him from behind, "Who is it?"

He turned around and saw Eriri's jealous smile.

PS There are two ways to pronounce May in Japanese

Official: ごがつgo ga tsu Folk: さつきsa tsu ki

Miss May's name is Itsuki

Chapter 100 Another Me

"Is that so? There's nothing we can do about it~" Kato Hui frowned as she spun her pen, "Even if that's the case, we still have to go to bed early."

Holding Mayflower, Qingkong smiled lightly, "Well, I understand."

"that..."

"Hmm?" Qingkong listened to Xiaohui's breathing and didn't wait for a response. "If you have something to say, just say it directly."

"Is it okay for me to remain the same as I am now?" Xiao Hui poked her face with a pen, "I always feel that it's not good for me to know too much."

"I don't think it's a big deal. On the contrary," Qingkong stood up and walked to the window, "It's a very happy thing to have someone who understands me."

"That being said, I have a strange feeling when I ask you what you have done recently." Xiaohui looked at the diary on her lap and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Am I particularly annoying? I want to know everything and interfere too much in your life."

Suddenly I remembered the characteristics of Ragdoll Cats, and also remembered Hui who was particularly attached to the blue sky. Xiaohui looked out the window and saw the beautiful night sky.

"Xiao Hui, you are so depressed, but you are not the one I have in mind." Qingkong stretched out his hand, and the starlight and moonlight slipped through his fingers and sprinkled on his eyes. "You are in the same state as when I was no longer single. Do you remember?"

"I didn't want to talk to you for a long time." Xiao Hui puffed up her cheeks, "That's all I remember."

Qingkong laughed in silence. This tone sounded like he remembered it clearly. "Well, my memory of Xiaohui was interrupted during that period. I'm sorry to tell you what happened today, but you wouldn't listen to me quietly."

"That's for sure. You're no longer single without saying anything. I don't want to bother with people like you." Xiao Hui bit her lip. Her current state was very similar to that time. She always felt that she was not qualified to understand Qingkong's life. "Do you remember how I forgave you?"

"Is it time for us to ask each other questions now?" Qingkong smiled. "When you went shopping that day, no one noticed you. There were many people around, so I passed by and bought you what you wanted."

Touching the paper gently, Xiao Hui hummed, "Because there are not many people who can pay attention to me, it would be very sad if I ignored you because of something like that. I realized this at the time, so I reluctantly forgave you."

Looking at the night sky, Qingkong recalled the look in that idiot's eyes when he called out to Xiaohui from the crowd. There was a mixture of unhappiness and happiness, and in the end, all of it turned into relief.

Thousands of stars are twinkling.

"I want to know about you because you always give me a feeling of unreality." Miss Kato continued to speak her mind, "You are obviously a gentle fool who even I can notice, but you are hiding something and not even telling me."

"Anyway, I'm just very angry. I want to know about you. I want to know what kind of person Hanyu Aozora is who stays by my side."

"Don't laugh at me now. I used to think you were a fantasy, a friend I created because I wanted to be noticed." The cherry blossom-like girl blushed, "Don't laugh!"

Qingkong coughed lightly and smiled silently, but he didn't expect Xiaohui to know this. "I'm not laughing, really."

"I'd be surprised if I believed you." With a light snort, Ms. Kato was too lazy to care about Qingkong, the bad guy. "You've changed a lot now. You no longer hide anything, and you have many ties besides me. If I try to understand you, it will bring you trouble."

Xiaohui felt a little sad, especially when she heard about Eriri.

After all, she was her ex-girlfriend, and I was just her childhood sweetheart whom I had only known for a month.

Xiaohui puffed up her cheeks. If it weren't for that incident...

Putting the notebook aside, she buried her face between her knees. It was no use regretting now.

If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not seizing the opportunity.

"I'm no longer afraid of trouble, because I know a fool who will stay with me even if he is afraid of trouble." Qingkong's voice in the headphones was gentle and firm.

"I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words." Xiaohui narrowed her eyes in happiness.

Feeling threatened, Qingkong silently changed his words, "The cute girl who stayed with me, um, a cute girl."

"Xiao Hui will think that I am your imagination. I once suspected that Miss Kato was a ghost that only I could see. We are similar," Qingkong chuckled, "but there should not be such a cute ghost lady."

Kato Megumi shook her head, and her long hair and headphones swayed slightly, forming the same arc as the corners of her mouth.

"Blue sky."

"Ok?"

"Stop thinking about weird things. We are not middle school students anymore, okay? Ghost girl stuff is stupid."

Qingkong's mouth twitched. It turned out that Miss Ghost was a sinister person.

"Because in a sense, both of us don't have a very strong sense of existence. When I talk to you, it feels like I'm chatting with another self." Qingkong weighed his words as the evening breeze blew. "It's not that somewhere, there are people who are very similar to me, just of a different gender. I guess I'm lucky to have met Kato Megumi."

Afraid of trouble, a bit lazy, black-bellied, likes to think, and occasionally has difficulty making a decision. One person denies his own existence in his heart, while the other is inconspicuous on the outside.
