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

"Cold hands are a sign of kidney deficiency."

"I... forget it, I can't beat you anyway." Qingkong shook his head and gave up debating with Nino.

Holding his hand, Nino rubbed her forehead against it. She liked the cool touch because it was the temperature of the sky, a temperature that belonged only to her.

After a while, Qingkong's hands also became warm. Nino pouted in disappointment, and when she looked up, she saw him looking a little embarrassed.

"Ah, you're shy, so cute."

"That's impossible." Qingkong turned his head away stubbornly, "Does it still hurt?"

Nino shook her head gently, "Much better, you can throw the ice pack aside."

Qingkong put the ice pack aside and just turned around to see Nino blushing and stretching out her hand.

"I want to warm your other hand."

Feeling that he was being treated like a child, Qingkong's mouth twitched, "Can I refuse?"

"That's not possible~"

Grabbing Qingkong's slender fingers, Nino's eyes smiled into crescents. She still remembered that it was these hands that took her away from her father a few hours ago. Now she could hold his hand legitimately. It was really great.

Compared to Nino who was immersed in the girlish heart, Aozora was a little nervous, and his heartbeat quickened when the beautiful girl held his hand.

However, this is my girlfriend, so there is no need to worry too much.

After figuring this out, Qingkong breathed a sigh of relief. But just as he was thinking this, the idiot Nino rubbed his forehead against his again, and the boy who was pretending to be calm became panicked again.

Rubbing against the person she likes, Nino is afraid that she will be like the little match girl. When she wakes up, everything is gone and only herself is left dreaming.

The reason why I kept calling Qingkong's name just now was because of this.

"Qingkong, your fingers are so stiff, are you shy?" Although she couldn't see clearly with her eyes, Nino could feel her boyfriend's nervousness through her sense of touch, "Me too, my heart is beating so fast."

"I'm not shy, and you seem pretty calm."

Nino raised her head, her eyes rolling, "Ha, you're shy~ If you don't believe me, I'll let you touch it..."

Nino puffed up her cheeks when she realized something and snorted, "Qingkong, you pervert, actually tried to trick me into saying that. You're so mean!"

Hanyu Aozora almost vomited blood. He looked at Nino helplessly and curled his lips.

Blushing, the girl tightly grasped her boyfriend's hand, not wanting to let go. "It's incredible that you, such a coward, can still find a girlfriend. Ah, I'm not referring to Eriri, don't misunderstand me."

There was silence, and Qingkong turned his head away.

Nino knew she had said the wrong thing and thought about how to make up for it.

"Um, sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned her." Nino pulled Qingkong's hand and shook it, like a child asking for candy, or a girl acting coquettishly. No one would be cruel enough to forgive her for her innocent look. "I was talking about myself, not her...Okay, I admit that I thought of her when I said that just now, but I definitely didn't mean to mock you."

"I'm just a little scared. You just said that you have some special feelings for her. I was thinking, you are so shy and afraid of trouble, but you can be with her. You must like her very much. Can a girl like me who is unscrupulous really be with you?"

Hanyu Aozora didn't say anything. He pulled his hand out and rubbed her face unhappily. Only when he saw Nino looking dizzy did he stop.

"Nino, let me ask you, what is the relationship between us now?"

Touching her cheek pitifully, Nino answered the question weakly, "We are in a relationship."

"Bingo," Qingkong sat next to Nino unhappily and picked up Rengar who was watching the show on the side, "I know that my relationship with Eriri makes you feel uneasy, but after all, I am dating you and I won't do anything unnecessary."

"But if you have her in your heart, I will be very sad."

After saying this, Nino suddenly remembered what she had just thought.

[It doesn't matter if I have to be a spare tire, as long as I can tell him that I like him. 】

Once you get it, it becomes difficult to be satisfied. You were thinking that everything was just for the person you like, but now you want to control what Qingkong thinks.

Even if it was Eriri, she wouldn't be so excessive, right?

"No, just pretend I didn't say anything..."

Curling up her legs, Nino huddled up weakly like a frightened little rabbit, not daring to face the blue sky.

"Qingkong, I really like you, but I find that I am so selfish..."

The girl spoke her heart out softly, as if she was talking to herself or whispering in a dream.

"I ran away without caring about anything, kissed you forcefully, and put myself down so that you would feel sorry for me. I had my own little tricks."

Nino sighed, her eyes dull.

"And, facing you who accepted such an unscrupulous girl, I am still thinking about erasing Eriri from your memories. You said that it was enough for you to know my feelings for you, but you are still not satisfied with snatching the only memories you have with her."

"Can I really be with you like this?"

"It has nothing to do with Eriri. Can I really date you with this kind of personality?"

"Would you like a selfish girl like me?"

Hanyu Aozora curled his lips and tapped Nino's head. He felt a little uncomfortable with the girl without the butterfly headband. Nino, who had lost the butterfly body, seemed to be soulless.

"As a response to you mentioning Eriri just now, I'll mention her as well."

Hearing that her boyfriend was going to talk about Eriri, Nino subconsciously felt a little unhappy. She blinked and listened to Qingkong silently.

"You were unhappy just now, weren't you?"

"Well...when you said her name, I felt a little depressed and unhappy in my heart."

"Nino, you've never been in a relationship, right?"

Nino's mouth twitched as her pain point was touched.

"Do you know why I didn't fall in love for a long time after breaking up with Eriri?"

Nino shook her head. If she knew about this, she would have been able to come up with a plan to conquer Hanyu Aozora. She wouldn't have waited until now.

Ah, I am thinking about these things again. Really, I should stop thinking about them!

"Because I think dating is troublesome." Feeling that this statement from his mouth was not convincing at all, Qingkong smiled helplessly, "As long as we start dating, we hope that the other person only thinks about us. Whoever he/she says a word to or smiles at will make us feel sad."

"Besides, the most annoying thing is that if one party speaks out about this matter first, it will lead to an awkward situation." Qingkong chose to deal with it coldly at the time. It was the best method, but also the stupidest method. "But if we don't speak out, the conflict will only get bigger and bigger."

"Everyone is selfish. Nino, you said you were selfish, and I can't refute you." Qingkong stretched out his hand and pinched Nino's face, smiling gently, "I am also selfish, but because you, Nino, don't like anyone else except me, I don't have the opportunity to show my selfishness."

"Qingkong, you are so narcissistic..." Nino rubbed Qingkong's hand. She felt a little relieved to be comforted by the person she liked. "But I can't refute it. I only love you. Now that we are holding hands, I don't want to let go."

Chapter 124 I Still Can’t Have a Name

"Oh, so beautiful."

Seeing the Kirakira headband in Nino's box, Yotsuba's eyes sparkled with envy.

"They look a little different, but they're all beautiful." Yotsuba blinked and asked curiously, "Nino, what kind of butterflies are they?"

“They are all Morpho butterflies.”

Seeing Nino looking at the words on the paper while identifying the species of butterflies, Yotsuba chuckled. From Nino's reaction, it seemed that she really liked the gift that Qingkong prepared for her.

But I am not bad either~

Yotsuba regarded the words written by Qingkong as a birthday present with a smile on her face. She was so focused on the fact that she was the little sun that she didn't even pay attention to Nino's popular science talk.

“Their names are so impressive.”

With sincere emotion, Siye felt that these goddess butterflies were worthy of the name "Dream Butterflies". Their brilliant colors were like the goddess spreading moonlight and light to the world.

Nino also matches this gift quite well. After all, they are attracting other people's attention, and the Morpho Butterfly will make the beautiful Nino even more eye-catching.

That would be great, if only I could be as confident as Nino.

Yotsuba thought so, but then smiled and shook her head. Even if Qingkong encouraged her like that, she was just happy. How could she suddenly become confident?

"Why didn't he just give us the gift directly? Why did he have to ask you for the key secretly?"

Siye was stunned for a moment when she heard this. "I'm not sure. I haven't contacted him. He probably wants to give us a surprise."

Having said that, Yotsuba felt a little strange. Qingkong, who had announced their birthdays early and prepared gifts for them, didn't even show up. Was he kidding?

"Isn't he home now?"

"Well, I knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. I only heard Rengar meowing."

Siye was a little depressed because the new cats Qingkong bought didn't like her, and only Rengar was willing to stay with her.

But she also likes the fat cat that looks especially like Qingkong.

Feeling like someone was looking at her, Yotsuba followed the line of sight and found it was Ichika. She smiled and blinked, and Ichika smiled back.

But Yotsuba always feels that Ichika is a little strange recently.

"I'll get some water. Do you want anything to drink?"

Siye smacked her lips. She had eaten a lot at the family restaurant at noon, so her mouth was dry now. "Ah, I want orange soda."

Yotsuba, who was not used to having Nino take care of her, stood up with a whoosh and glanced at the box that Qingkong had prepared for her. She was a little curious, but since she had already received the best gift, she was not so anxious.

Let’s wait and see, the main course always comes last.

"Don't you want to see it?"

"Well, don't worry~"

Yotsuba looked at Nino with a new headband and felt a little envious. She wished she could shine like Nino one day.

As a joke, Yotsuba wanted Nino's original headband, but was rejected as expected.

Although she was a little disappointed, Siye didn't care. After all, the one she owned was also pretty good, just a little faded.

After discovering the cake that Qingkong had prepared for the five people, Siye shook her head happily. Although she was Qingkong's accomplice, she didn't know what Qingkong had prepared. When she discovered the surprise Qingkong had prepared, her heart was filled with joy.

To use a metaphor, these surprises are like citrus fruits, with an unexpected sour taste but also a soothing sweetness.

"Hmm, so disgusting." After seeing the words "Green Pepper", Siye decided to take back what she had said before. She was only surprised but not happy.

However, she still sniffed the scent lightly with hope, as she didn't quite believe that the stupid Qingkong would play a trick on her.

However, even if there were green peppers in it, Siye would finish it. Perhaps Qingkong didn't know that she hated these things, and she couldn't let Qingkong down.

But then again, are there any green pepper cakes?

Yotsuba tilted her head.

Qingkong did not disappoint Yotsuba. She smelled the unique aroma of orange. At the same time, Nino opened the box and saw something that had nothing to do with pickles.

Chewing her orange cake happily, the white ribbon on Clover's head swayed.

"Let's exchange~"

Ichika's suggestion allowed Ms. Yotsuba to collect five different kinds of cakes. If she could collect seven, she might be able to summon the gods to make a wish~

By the way, I haven't thought of a birthday wish yet. There's nothing I want anymore, that's what Miss Yotsuba thinks.

"I'm furious."

"What's wrong?" May complained through gritted teeth, which made Yotsuba feel a little strange.

May handed the birthday present that Qingkong gave her to Siye. Siye took it, just took a look, and couldn't help laughing.

"That guy is too much!"

May rolled her eyes and put away the lunch box coupon. Although this thing was very tempting, it was too much of a disrespect to herself. She was not a foodie.

However, Miss May had to admit that Qingkong's gift was quite practical.

Yotsuba covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Qingkong was really bullying May again. However, that idiot was probably just joking. People like him would never slander others or deliberately poke at others' pain points.

Perhaps the real gift is hidden somewhere.

Yotsuba told May this idea. Miss May looked at the box skeptically, and finally found the star and moon hair accessories hidden at the bottom.

"Yoshiha, you really know Qingkong well," May raised her eyebrows and lowered her voice, "Are you interested in Qingkong?"

Keeping smiling, Yotsuba shook her head slightly, "There's no way I can fall in love with him. He and I are just friends. Compared to falling in love with him, I would rather support him because that would be fun."

May nodded. Yotsuba had never panicked, and she had never doubted Yotsuba. "You're the same as me. It seems that only Nino and Miku like that guy."

Without saying a word, Yotsuba silently lowered her head and opened the gift that Qingkong gave her.

【Happy Birthday, Yotsuba】

[I'm sorry, but I still prepared a gift for you, I hope you can accept it. ]

Because of receiving the four-leaf clover specimen, Siye once told Qingkong that he must not prepare any other gifts, otherwise she would be angry. But the idiot still prepared a gift.

[Come to think of it, I've never seen Yotsuba get angry, so I prepared a gift just to see it for myself.]
