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

"We are indeed quite similar..." Xiao Hui admitted this, "but there are still many differences between you and me."

The difference is that there is only one person I like, but Qingkong, you are still hesitant.

"I am used to telling you what happened, and you always give me advice and help me. I am glad to have you by my side." Qingkong smiled lightly, "Didn't you say that I won't hide anything? Even if I don't tell you, you can see something. I believe you."

"Xiao Hui is not annoying at all. On the contrary, I'm actually afraid that you hate me for who I am."

Throwing the pen aside, Xiao Hui said seriously, "No, I definitely won't hate Qingkong."

Didn't you just say that you are another me? No one would hate themselves, right?

Well, you hated yourself once, but I never hated you.

"Well, thank you."

"You're being polite, Qingkong." Xiaohui took the pen back dejectedly, thinking to herself that she was really stupid. She should have just said no. She had to throw the pen away. She was just as stupid as Qingkong. "I have something else to ask you. Can I bother you for a moment?"

Glancing at the time, Qingkong felt that this was different from what they had initially agreed upon, which was to go to bed early.

"You went to Eriri's house today. Was she very happy?"

"When will the manuscript be due?"

"What went wrong with the new work?"

Qingkong was stunned. "Well, I shouldn't have told you in such detail."

"I can guess it anyway, you are such an idiot~" Kato Megumi said with a smile on her face, "Since you don't mind, I will ask you clearly."

Qingkong held his forehead helplessly. He had deliberately blurred the names of the people during the previous conversation. He was afraid that Xiaohui would be angry if she knew about these things, but now it seems that it is not quite the same as he expected.

"Eri is quite happy. If we need to finish the manuscript, we can do it tomorrow. As for the new work..." Qingkong rubbed his temple, "In addition to the complicated character design of the heroine, there are also some problems with the setting. Let's talk about it after meeting the senior."

"Mitsuha-senpai?"

Qingkong was almost scared to death, "Can you read minds?"

Kato Megumi snorted cutely, "No."

Anyway, Qingkong couldn't understand why Xiaohui didn't think that the senior sister she was talking about was Kasumigaoka.

"Is that so? Then I understand." Xiao Hui stopped writing and rubbed her sore eyes. "After all, it's [another me]."

“This setting is so stupid.”

"What do you care?" Xiao Hui glanced at the time. "It's getting late. Go to bed early. Good night."

Hearing Qingkong's good night, Xiaohui was silent for a moment, "Qingkong?"

"Ah."

"There's no need to blame yourself."

Qingkong looked at his broken and bleeding hands in silence, not knowing what to do.

He once again forcibly maintained the relationship between Eriri, Xiaohui, and himself, and maintained this disgusting so-called tenderness.

Chapter 101: Creator's Deadline

"By the way, today is Sunday, right?"

"Of course I am." The blonde girl pushed up her glasses. "You are not the kind of person who only remembers the days of the week during school and the dates during holidays?"

Qingkong looked at the girl with glasses who was working on her manuscript. Because her bangs were tied up and didn't block her vision, her dead fish eyes were more obvious than before. "I remember you told me yesterday that the deadline for submission was the weekend, right?"

Ying Lili chuckled, with a little cold sweat on her forehead, "Really?"

Holding the digital tablet, Qingkong was speechless. "Even in this situation, you can still sleep in for the whole morning. You are really generous."

Ying Lili pouted. She didn't want this to happen. Who knew that the morning time would be wasted in an instant.

Seeing Ying Lili's pitiful appearance, Qingkong shook his head helplessly, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Um...milk?"

Qingkong looked at the book he was drawing on the digital tablet, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "I remember you like to drink Coke, mom heard that you were coming, so she bought a lot of it."

"Then I want to drink Coke!" When Zhaili heard about the fat otaku happy water, her eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Hehe, I thought you didn't have any at home~"

Thinking of something, Ying Lili stood up and said, "I'd better go get it myself. Isn't your hand injured?"

Shaking his head indifferently, Qingkong was not that pretentious. He tapped Eriri's forehead and rejected her kindness.

Watching Qingkong leave blankly, Ying Lili smiled foolishly. She really liked the way Qingkong lifted his hair up. It reminded her of the time when he helped her finish her manuscript before they reconciled.

"I feel so hot..." Looking at the book she was drawing, Eriri blushed slightly, "It's embarrassing to draw something like this at my ex-boyfriend's house."

After a while, Qingkong came in with ice cola and coffee, and put the cup on Yinglili's face who was staring at her phone in a daze.

"ah!"

Qingkong chuckled, "Time is running out, let's work hard together."

Without making a sound, she put her phone away, took a sip from the cup, and the taste of the carbonated drink made her squint her eyes happily. Qingkong next to her took a sip of coffee and showed a similar expression to Eriri.

"correct!"

"Eh?"

"Let's exchange!" Ying Lili handed the Coke to Qingkong, "You seem to be drinking it so happily, I want to try it too."

Qingkong shook his head and refused, took a sip of coffee, and before he could move the cup far away, he said, "You don't like bitter things, so forget it."

With a light snort, Ying Lili moved directly in front of Qingkong, her cherry lips almost touching the cup. The two people's eyes met, and the other person was very close.

Ripples flowed in the deep blue eyes, and the color of sadness seemed particularly clear and distant at this moment.

"Wow, it smells so bitter." Eriri's eyes flashed with some color, and she took a step back, "Forget it, I still like something sweeter."

Qingkong hummed, his eyes wandering, and took another sip. The bitter taste was even stronger than before. He stared blankly at the dark brown liquid. He suspected that his state of mind had affected the taste.

Before he could sigh, Eriri brought the quilt to his mouth.

"Try my favorite drink. It's my treat~" Ying Lili narrowed her eyes.

Qingkong glanced at Yinglili unhappily and said, "I gave this to you originally."

"What does it matter? What's yours is mine." Ying Lili's eyes were a little cold, "What's mine can only be mine..."

Thinking back to that snowy night, Qingkong didn't notice Eriri's micro-expression, "You are too cruel."

"I want you to take care of it?" Ying Lili thought to herself, "Drink it quickly, my hands are sore from holding it."

Qingkong took a sip of Coke, smacked his lips, and looked disgusted. His look of asking for a beating made Yinglili so angry that she pinched his face with her other hand.

Finally calming down, Miss Eriri snorted and ignored the bad guy, but at an angle where Qingkong couldn't see, she took a sip of Coke.

"He just bumped into this side." Immersed in this little happiness, Eriri finished her Coke in one gulp. "It seems a little sweeter than usual."

Putting the cup aside, Ying Lili stretched and prepared to finish her manuscript, but she heard the sound of carbonic acid decomposing. She turned her head and saw Qingkong pouring Coke.

"Don't make trouble, you'll get the drawing wet."

Qingkong shook the cup, which was different from Yinglili's cup, "I drink this for myself, don't take it for granted."

"Go and die!" Ying Lili kicked Qingkong lightly with her little foot. She was so angry that her hair exploded. She also wanted to drink a beverage. "Using a digital tablet is great."

Seeing that Eriri had regained her usual energy, Qingkong chuckled and put the room temperature Coke on her face, "Just kidding, it won't taste good without gas, here."

Eriri snorted and turned her head away, "No ice, no soul."

"Then I drank it myself."

“Don’t,” Ying Lili turned back anxiously, but saw Qingkong’s smiling eyes, “You can feed me and I can drink it.”

After taking a look at the drawing on the table, Qingkong felt that the postures of the male and female protagonists were exactly the same as theirs.

Eriri followed Qingkong's line of sight and noticed this, she blushed and covered her key parts, "Hurry up!"

At this moment, Qingzora's cell phone rang, and the girl sang "The Day I Shot My Lover" which made both of them stunned.

"No ringtone yet..."

Qingkong nodded, put the cup aside under Eriri's resentful gaze, and answered the phone. Since they were both acquaintances, there was no need to avoid it.

"Have a nice vacation, Tomoya~" Qingkong leaned against the table, "Is the project completed?"

"Almost there." Lun Ye looked at the document with a title written on it and wiped the sweat off his forehead, "If I can find some inspiration."

"Inspiration?" Qingkong repeated the familiar word, "That kind of thing is not so easy to find."

"If I could recreate that scene..." Lunye looked at the programming book in his hand, feeling a little sad, "But that's not why I came to you."

Qingkong tilted his head, and in order to let Eriri, who looked concerned, know the details, he repeated it again.

"Well, aren't you preparing a new work?" ACG master Taki-kun said anxiously, and it seemed that he regarded Qingzora's work as more important than his own stupid plan. "You haven't promoted it enough. For an author like Black Rabbit who likes to transform and whose new work comes out after a long time, if the promotion is not strong, the performance will be affected."

After taking a sip of water, Ren continued to talk about these things. "Anyway, tell me part of the plot without spoiling it. I will help with the promotion. Will you still be responsible for the illustrations yourself?"

Qingkong was very confused as to why Lun wanted to help him even though he hadn't even finished his own plan yet.

"Why did Ren choose to help me?"

"Of course I will, because I like ACG. I welcome Black Rabbit-sensei's new works and will definitely help." Lun also laughed at himself, "I don't have the talent of a creator, nor the ability to put them into practice. The only thing I can boast about is this useless enthusiasm."

"The most important thing is that we are friends." Ren also smiled. "I haven't had many friends since elementary school. You are the only one who has always been by my side, and you are the black rabbit I like. If I don't help you, who should I help? Eriri?"

Qingkong couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, this stubborn Tomoya was still blaming Eriri. "Hey, Tomoya, do you remember the deadline I gave you?"

"Well, this Golden Week," Ren smiled indifferently and closed the programming book, "A dying man, probably."

"If you say something like that, be careful that your cousin will cut you into pieces~" Qingkong made a decision silently, "Wait and hope, Renye."

After hanging up the phone, Qingkong frowned and thought about what to do.

"You've got a problem too, right? Do you have time to take care of others?"

"Yes, I want to help him." Qingkong nodded.

Ying Lili looked at his profile, and she also wanted to help her little Qingkong.

Chapter 102: Five Sisters Must Be Equally Cute

Nino tied her hair in front of the mirror, looked left and right, and hesitated whether to put on makeup.

"Nino, you're so slow." Miku complained to Nino, "If you drag on, we won't wait for you anymore."

Yotsuba hugged Miku from behind, "Nino is already beautiful enough, there's no need to dress up~"

Hearing Yotsuba's compliment, Nino chuckled, "Everyone looks the same, they are all equally beautiful, right?"

Yotsuba shook her head, the mint green ribbon swaying cutely, "Even though they look the same, Nino feels prettier."

Miku also nodded. A slightly rustic girl like her could never compare to Nino.

Noticing Miku's look, Nino grabbed her few remaining cosmetics, gave Yotsuba a look, and moved closer to Miku, "That's because I always wore makeup before. Here, Miku, do you want to try it too?"

"Hmm?" Miku wanted to step back, but was hugged by Yotsuba, "No, I'm fine like this."

"Fufu~" Nino smiled happily, "Don't worry, I will put some light makeup on you. Just think of it as another birthday gift I prepared for you~"

Leaning close to Miku's ear, Nino chuckled and said, "He likes light makeup."

Mijiu knew very well that she had never been a girl who knew how to dress up.

She had tried to tie her hair into two pigtails before, but the boys said it looked tacky. That was her first attempt to be cute.

It's also the last time.

Although the five of them look exactly the same, Miku never thinks she is beautiful.

Gloomy, unsocial, dull-witted, lacking in expression, and with no sense of fashion, no one would notice such a girl.

But, I want to change.

He likes outgoing girls, so I try to communicate with others as much as possible.

He was worried about our grades, so I studied very hard.

He can cook delicious food, and I just want a day when he can eat it happily without having to say something against his will to comfort me.

"Then there's nothing we can do..." Miku closed her eyes, "Thank you Nino for your help."

Nino hummed. She remembered that Miku had once braided her hair like her, but for some reason she gave up the idea of ​​becoming cute since then.

"Have you met someone who makes you want to be cute? That's great~" Nino pinched Miku's face and thought about that person, "I won't lose to you."

The rustic girl opened her eyes and saw herself completely different from usual. Although her makeup was the same as Nino's, she felt very different.
