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

Relieved, Eriri poked her senior, "I'm going to help him in the kitchen, and I have something to tell him by the way."

Recalling the embarrassing scene in the multimedia room, Kasumigaoka Utaha said that she understood. Sitting quietly on the sofa, she started reading the book she had not finished yet.

Hanyu was cutting onions and potatoes. Eriri saw her ex-boyfriend busy at work and didn't know whether she should disturb him at this time.

"You're staring at me like that, and I'm a little panicked." Hanyu turned around and looked at Eriri, who had a tangled face. He wanted to touch her head, but realized that there was something on his hands. He couldn't help but laugh, "Actually, I should be the one to apologize. I shouldn't have listened to you guys at that time."

Eriri tugged at Hanyu's clothes and looked at him, "Aren't you angry when you heard that?"

"No, because I know what Eriri is thinking." Hanyu put the cut ingredients aside and washed his hands. "And I have to say your disguise is a bit stupid."

Looking up at Hanyu, Eriri seemed to have accepted her fate and sighed, "Then tell me what I am saying. I am too embarrassed to say those words."

"I am embarrassed?" Hanyu pulled his face, "I am not shameless here."

Seeing her ex-boyfriend like this, Eriri couldn't help but smile, "You are what I say you are, your shameless ex-boyfriend."

Hanyu patted the head of the arrogant fool and said, "Then I'll talk to you while I cook. It would be bad if your stomach growls later."

"Ah."

"Eri, you've also noticed that my interpersonal relationships have become strange, right?" Hanyu fried the chicken, and the aroma filled the air, making both of them feel a little more relaxed. "The reason why I canceled my study abroad program this time was because of that reason."

"A big part of the reason why I can keep my distance from others is because of that excuse," Hanyu added potatoes, onions and curry cubes and watched the ingredients stew blankly, "that's the excuse of 'I've been in love so I'm a little afraid of falling in love'."

"You also said that I was expecting a perfect love in my heart, but that was just a fantasy."

"Ever since the misunderstanding between the two of us was resolved, the balance has disappeared, and all my actions have become abnormal. It is the most reasonable option for the two of us to get back together. We can save a lot of trouble if we just get back together."

Eriri sniffed, she wanted to taste the curry, "Yeah, that was the case before your birthday. But after I misunderstood you again, that wasn't an option anymore."

"Because you have too many one-sided arrows, and Xiaohui's feelings... and I have no confidence in myself. You treated me like that, and I could still misunderstand you. I really can't get back together."

Hanyu tasted the curry, and Eriri also clamored to eat it, "Be careful, it's hot."

"Hey, give me a blow job." Eriri made her request, "It's okay to be a little willful, right?"

"It's okay. You are Eriri after all." Hanyu looked at Eriri who was holding the spoon in her mouth. He felt like she was making her own pudding, and he was silly.

"Good..." Eriri squinted her eyes in satisfaction, "What you said that day gave me the courage to confess my love to you, but the next day you left to study abroad. I was so angry that I almost didn't go to find you."

"Later I found out that you were left behind by someone else. All I could do was give you one day of so-called perfect love. But I knew very well that one day was the limit."

Hanyu raised an eyebrow, "I think you can hold on for a few more days, Eriri."

Glancing at her ex-boyfriend unhappily, Eriri sniffed the aroma of curry and said, "Maybe. So I thought about it and decided to give you some buffer time, and also give myself some time to find my old self again."

After tapping Eriri's head, Hanyu couldn't say something like "As long as we get back together, that's enough." What he wanted was nothing more than a normal daily life like before, not the fallout from his love life that caused his friends to fall apart.

"So, dating is so troublesome. It's obviously a matter between two people, but you have to consider so many people." Eriri complained about the love she once dreamed of. It can be said that this is what is called easy talk. "I want to cooperate with Kasumigaoka so that I can approach you in a legitimate identity, not as your ex-girlfriend, so that you won't be so worried about me and have trouble handling your interpersonal relationships because of me."

"Also, I want to use this method to awaken your creative passion."

Many people know that there is no sign of a new work for [Black Rabbit], but Eriri is the only one who knows that Hanyu has lost his passion, because his writing no longer has the emotion it had at the beginning.

"So you're going to pretend that you don't care and go find a senior to get her to cooperate with you?" Hanyu shook his head. "It's my fault that I can't handle your relationship with other girls well. You don't have to go to this extent."

"Yes, I am your first choice." Eriri laughed. "My leading man."

PS This chapter is weird to write, I will revise it when I get a chance

Chapter 9 A Leisurely Afternoon

"You're like this on the second day of school?" Ichika, who was yawning and walking by Hanyu's desk, saw him like this and was a little worried about his condition. "Did you not go home yesterday?"

Hanyu sighed. He couldn't bring himself to talk about the fact that he had spent the entire night playing games at Eriri's house. "Yeah, I was at a friend's house last night."

Ichika, who was not in a good mood, did not pursue the matter. She just wanted to make good use of the time before class to have a good sleep. Later on, she would have Mr. Kirisu's world history class. If she was caught sleeping in class, she would inevitably be called to the office. Besides, they lived very close to each other now, so who knows, he might come to visit her directly at any time.

Moreover, the difficulty of the second-year high school courses has increased a lot. If they want to pass all subjects, they have to listen to the lectures carefully, and they have to prove it to their fathers.

Kato poked Hanyu on the back, "Did you really play games all night yesterday?"

Hanyu nodded. Last night, Kasumigaoka and Eriri said they wouldn’t go to bed until they finished pushing, so he had no choice but to hold the handle and wait until they couldn’t bear it anymore before he rolled onto the sofa and took a nap for a while.

Shaking his head helplessly, Kato whispered his suggestion, "Qingkong, you should get some sleep. I'll keep watch for you in the morning."

"Thank you, Xiaohui..." Lying on the table, Hanyu just hoped that the reckless teacher would not care about such things. If not, he could just apologize to her after class.

Because the school had just started, Kirisu Madoka was not dissatisfied with everyone's slightly lazy state. Instead, she used a friendly approach to help everyone adapt to the new semester.

“Are you so sleepy, Aozora?” Teacher Kirisu, who wanted Hanyu to help clean the room yesterday, saw Hanyu’s sleeping face and held his forehead helplessly, “Really, I don’t know what to do in this situation.”

Kato noticed Kirisu's gaze and was about to poke Hanyu to make him pay attention, but he was a little surprised that Kirisu didn't remind Hanyu about this. "Kirisu and Aozora seem to have a good relationship..."

During lunch break, Hanyu stood up shakily and prepared to buy some bread to get by.

"If you don't mind, please eat this." Renye and Nozaki looked at Hanyu with flattering expressions, and the two of them stretched out their lunch boxes in front of Hanyu.

Hanyu knew that Nozaki was very feminine, but he couldn't stand a 190cm tall man standing in front of him and trying to please him. "Nozaki, how did Ren convince you?"

“Because I think I can use this opportunity to take my comics to the next level, and I also want to draw a spin-off comic of Ms. Tanaka.” Nozaki’s dead eyes made Hanyu feel that he had bad intentions. “Just like A Certain Scientific Bilibili, maybe the spin-off will be more popular.”

“Mamiko will cry, okay? And the example you cited is because the original animation didn’t come out for 10,000 years, and when it came out, the production was terrible, okay?” Hanyu rubbed his temple. He just wanted to eat something and drink something. “Let’s talk about it after I finish eating.”

When Hanyu walked near the convenience store, he saw a girl who looked like a junior high school student looking at the crowd with a confused expression.

"Senior Mirani, long time no see." I wanted to pretend I didn't see her, but Mirani Aifumi was standing where Hanyu passed by. "I'll bring you whatever you want to buy."

Looking up and seeing Hanyu's face, Xiao Meilang shook her head, "Junior, you are so weak and you still want to help me." Xiao Meilang had a smile on her face, "Last time you helped me review, this time let me buy something for you as a thank you gift."

Hanyu was a little uncomfortable with Senior Komi-san's gentleness. "It's okay, I can go by myself. There are so many people, even if you are small, it will be troublesome to squeeze in."

"Hmm?" Xiao Meilang smiled kindly, "Who are you saying is short?"

Hanyu laughed dryly and turned his head away.

"Just stay here, junior. I'll go buy you some bread." Xiao Meilang looked at the crowd and frowned slightly. "Chow mein bread or pineapple bun?"

Seeing the senior's small figure disappear in the crowd, Hanyu sighed and followed her.

"Damn it, I'm not tall enough." Xiao Meilang stood on tiptoe and tried to reach the espresso on the shelf. She saw that Hanyu looked tired just now, so she wanted to buy his favorite coffee, but she didn't expect it to be so high. "It would be better if it was a few centimeters longer."

"I hope the senior sister won't be angry that I'm here." Hanyu took the drink the senior sister wanted to drink and rubbed the tip of his nose embarrassedly, "I didn't listen to you and stayed here obediently."

Looking at Hanyu, Xiao Meilang blinked. She suddenly felt that if she had a junior like Hanyu around her, it wouldn’t be a problem even if she was not tall enough. “Of course I’m angry. I actually asked a junior to help me get things. It’s so embarrassing.”

Hanyu took his bread, paid the bill, opened the package and started eating.

"Here, I bought it for you."

Hanyu looked at the senior in a strange way, "I thought it was something that the senior was going to drink, but it turned out to be for me?"

Nodding slightly, Xiao Meilang sat next to Hanyu and ate bread in small bites. Hanyu felt that the childlike senior was particularly cute.

"I once heard someone say that bitterness represents the taste of maturity, but I can never get used to it." Xiao Meilang swallowed the bread and said, "Youngster, do you think this statement is credible?"

Hanyu tossed his coffee and shook his head. “I think it’s a bit childish to judge others’ psychology based on something as subjective as taste preference.”

"I see. I thought you liked coffee because you were a mature person, but now it seems that's not the case."

After taking a bite of bread, Hanyu did not respond to the senior.

“By the way, junior, when will you release those two songs?” The senior student looked at Hanyu with a smile, “You’re not going to postpone it again, are you?”

Feeling the aura of Komi-san, Hanyu moved aside a little and said, "How can I do that? I'll post it in the next few days. After all, I've already promised the fans."

"That's good." Xiao Meilang, who had hastily finished her lunch, stood up and waved goodbye to Hanyu. "Goodbye then. If you miss me, come to Class 3-C to find me. I won't refuse even if you confess to me, senior."

Hanyu curled his lips, he didn't have that idea. Besides, if he confessed to the little devil, he might get a reply like 'I was lying to you, and you took it seriously', which would make him explode instantly.

After drinking the coffee and throwing it away, Hanyu really didn't want to go back to class to see those two idiots, Tomoya and Nozaki, but there was nowhere to go, so he had to put on his headphones and find a random place to rest for a while.

Then he was poked in the face by Senior Xiao Meilang.

"Anything else, Senior?"

"I just remembered that Michiko asked me to ask you if you have time to work part-time recently. She said that many people are asking where the waiter who looks like a gigolo has gone." Xiao Meilang was a little embarrassed. She didn't want to disturb Hanyu who was resting. "Although I don't know why they want to find a waiter in a maid cafe..."

Hanyu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much about part-time jobs, but it's still okay to go there to drink coffee and study. If I have free time, I will help Miss Michiko."

Komi-no Aisumi nodded, after all, the store had already started looking for a new maid.

"Then I won't disturb you from resting, junior. Bye, this time it's for real."

Hanyu nodded, put on his headphones and closed his eyes. Xiao Meilang thought about it, smiled gently, sat next to Hanyu, also put on his headphones and closed his eyes to rest.

"Good afternoon, junior."

The afternoon sun shone on the two of them. Xiao Meilang knew that there would not be many leisurely afternoons like this. She was already a senior in high school and did not have much time. If she wanted to be admitted to a medical university, she had to focus most of her energy on studying science.

“Thank you very much for your help last time. However, I have to rely on myself this year, junior.” She wanted to put Hanyu’s head on her shoulder, but she was afraid that the height difference would make Hanyu uncomfortable. “There will be no chance for us to be together like this in the future.”

Xiao Meilan closed her eyes, and the warm light made her fall asleep unknowingly.

Hanyu was helpless. He woke up when the senior student rested her head on his legs, and his plan to have a good rest was ruined.

Chapter 10: The Miracle About to Bloom

"Ah, long time no see, Hanyu-kun." The miko's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "Is there something that brought you here to pay your respects?"

Hanyu shook his head. He was just hiding from Tomoya and Nozaki. He thought that after disbanding the classical club, he could become the main force of the otaku club again, but ended up being targeted by those two gender-swapped maniacs.

"That's not the case. I just want to come here to relax for a while." Hanyu looked at his phone. "By the way, is Maki-chan used to being in Otonogizaka?"

Tojo Nozomi poked her cheek, her bright eyes showing a little uneasiness, "There are three junior school girls in the second year of high school who take good care of Maki-chan, so there's nothing to worry about."

"It's just that the situation at Otonogizaka is not good. There is only one class this year, and the notice of school closure has been posted." Nozomi Tojo smiled bitterly. She still liked this school very much.

Hanyu stroked his chin. He had heard that Otonogizaka was not doing well before, but he didn't expect that the school would be closed so soon. "Why do I feel like I'm cheating Maki-chan by persuading her to go to Otonogizaka?"

Tojo Nozomi rolled her eyes at Hanyu and sighed softly, "Who said it wasn't true? Everyone has this in mind, so no one applies to our school. Our former alumni are also worried about this kind of thing."

He wanted to say something, but someone covered Hanyu's eyes and said, "Guess who I am, Qingkong-san~"

"I can't guess, I can only tell that it's a senior who's two years older than me." Hanyu's face felt slightly hot because of the smell on the girl's hands, "Senior Mitsuha, stop it."

"What's wrong with being two years older? Isn't it good to be more mature?" Miyamizu Mitsuha withdrew her hand dissatisfiedly, "Don't you agree, Xiaoxi?"

"Yes, yes." Tojo Nozomi, who is one year older than Hanyu, nodded in agreement with Senior Miyamizu's words.

Hanyu looked at the two seniors and asked Mitsuha with some confusion, "Senior, are you also a part-time shrine maiden here?"

Mitsuha Miyamizu, who was wearing a shrine maiden costume and had her hair tied high in a ponytail, turned around slightly when she heard Hanyu's question. The red and white shrine maiden costume added a bit of elegance and beauty to the former heir of Miyamizu Shrine. "Yes, after I went to college and had some free time, I thought about working part-time here. Thanks to my previous studies at the shrine at home, I quickly adapted to the work."

"Yeah, if you can master the Kagura dance, it should be easy for you to be a part-time shrine maiden." After saying this, Hanyu was stunned. Kagura dance?

Mitsuha looked at Hanyu suspiciously. She had never told Hanyu such a thing before. "How did you know this, junior?"

Hanyu waved his hand and said, "I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously, senior."

Mitsuha suppressed the doubts in her heart and did not continue to ask. After all, her memory of exchanging bodies with Kato Megumi was not clear, and it was possible that she might accidentally reveal it.

"Then I'll go home first. You two seniors, please go back early after work." Hanyu looked at the time. He has been hiding here long enough. Nozaki and Ren shouldn't block him on the way home, right?

Then he saw from afar the tall Nozaki hiding behind a pillar in a wretched manner, with a otaku wearing glasses beside him.

"Forget it, let's go home and sleep today." Hanyu sent a message to Nino. He gave her the spare key a few days ago so that she could help take care of the three masters of his family. "I don't know if Pudding and Egg Tart are well behaved, and whether Rengar is eating well."

Sighing, Hanyu returned home. His father was not at home as usual. "Mom, I'm back."

After changing his shoes, Hanyu looked up and saw Aunt Nishikino and Maki-chan, "Hello... Auntie."

Sitting on the sofa a little stiffly, Hanyu looked at Maki and asked what was going on. Maki shook her head slightly, indicating that she couldn't explain it clearly.

"Qingkong, Aunt Ruifei and Xiao Zhenji will stay here overnight today. You can take Xiao Zhenji to the guest room." Qiannai touched Qingkong's head, "They are rare guests just like you."

The corners of Hanyu's mouth twitched. His mother was still a little unhappy that he didn't live at home. "Let's go, Maki-chan."

Maki followed Hanyu obediently. She was a little curious why Hanyu suddenly came back and why he didn't go abroad to study.

"Don't look at me like that. If you have any questions, just ask." Hanyu opened the window to let the air in the room exchange. "Although someone cleans it every day, I don't know if you can get used to it."

"It's okay, it looks clean." Maki still remembered that she slept here when she came to visit Hanyu-ge before. "Didn't Hanyu-ge go abroad to study?"

Hanyu took out a doll from the cabinet and handed it to Maki. "Here, I washed it not long ago." This was the doll that Maki liked to hug before going to bed. "I kept it because of my friend. My mother said that since I submitted the application myself, it's my own business if I want to cancel it."

When Maki got the doll, her eyes lit up at first, then she put it aside, "Brother Hanyu, I'm not a child, this kind of thing has no appeal to me."

Hanyu smiled and touched Maki's head, "Okay, I understand. I'll take it then."

After reaching out his hand, Hanyu found that Maki was holding the doll's hand tightly, "Really, if you like someone, just say it directly." Hanyu took his hand back and looked at Maki, "Did you make friends at school?"

Maki hugged the teddy bear and had a warm smile on her face. "Well, Senior Minami and Senior Sonoda take good care of me, and Senior Kosaka always asks me to eat bread together. By the way, Senior Tojo is also very good and taught me a lot of things." Noticing Hanyu's gaze, Maki curled her hair shyly and said, "I am still very popular."

Tsundere lady, Hanyu always feels that there are too many girls with this kind of setting around him, but thanks to Eriri and Nino, Hanyu knows very well how to communicate with tsunderes.

"As for classmates, you are in the lower grade, so you can't be with the seniors all the time." Hanyu leaned against the table. "Although the gap between grades in your school is relatively small, it is still better to build good relationships with classmates."
