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

"Eh? What's your problem? Is it about whether I let you see it or not?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook the can of soda water. Her smug look made Eriri very unhappy. "Let me speak for Yuzu-kun. It was that little pervert who thought there should be marks on the heroine's thigh."

Glancing at Hanyu with dissatisfaction, Eriri's expression seemed to be saying, "Why do you want to let that woman from Kasumigaoka speak for you?" "I can't help it. I usually use myself as a reference when I draw, and there are usually no obvious marks on my thighs."

Hanyu understood Eriri's underlying message, which was something like 'I'm thin and I don't have that thing'.

Senior Kasumigaoka slapped her hand on the keyboard. She felt like crying. Why did she have to carefully maintain her weight while the slide in front of her didn't even have any meat on her thighs? "You're just a deadbeat otaku, what are you so proud of?"

Hanyu smiled secretly, but was accidentally discovered by Kasumigaoka-senpai. The upset senior gave Eriri some pointers, "Sawamura-senpai, if you said that the knee socks didn't leave any marks, then how did Hanyu know that?"

Hanyu felt a little overwhelmed by Eriri's resentful gaze. He couldn't say that he had some feelings after watching Tojo Nozomi and Nakano Satsuki, because if he did that, Eriri would beat him silly with her ponytail.

Fortunately, Hanyu's cell phone rang at this time. Hearing her own singing, Eriri turned her face away, feeling a little embarrassed, while Hanyu made an apologetic gesture to the two of them and ran outside to answer Maki's call.

"Brother Hanyu, I have something I want to discuss with you. If possible, can we come to the drink shop near Kanda Shrine?"

"Now..." Hanyu hesitated for a moment. He glanced at the multimedia room. After all, the club's affairs were not over yet.

Seizing Hanyu's momentary hesitation, the sensitive Maki pursed her lips and smiled gently, "Hanyu-san, are you busy? I forgot you joined the club. Sorry. Let's talk about it tonight."

Shaking his head, Hanyu comforted Maki, "How about this, I'll go find you now, and Maki will help me compose music later as compensation. It won't delay either side, and I don't want to disappoint little Maki."

"No, no... But I won't wait for you too long, so come over quickly if you want."

Hanyu nodded, walked into the multimedia room, explained briefly to Eriri and Kasumigaoka-senpai, said sorry, picked up his bag and left.

"Tsk, you're running so fast, you must be feeling guilty." Still dwelling on what happened just now, Eriri pulled at the flesh on her thigh. Even though it wasn't much, it was a well-proportioned thigh. Why didn't that idiot look at her? "There's no rush to compose music, so why say sorry?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Eriri with resentment. Compared to this girl who had her ex-boyfriend to help her draw and finish her manuscripts, she was just a lonely person typing silently. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She took a sip of soda water, and raised her eyebrows at Eriri with a puffy face.

Hanyu, who went to look for Maki, didn't know that after he left, two bored girls started fighting over a can of soda.

"What are you thinking about, Miss Maki?" Hanyu sat opposite the dazed Maki, put his phone on the table, and took the menu handed over by the waiter with a smile, "Just give me a glass of lemonade, and give the beautiful lady opposite a portion of tiramisu."

Maki, who was drinking an iced drink, wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Hanyu with a smile. She pouted her lips and looked at Hanyu, "I'm trying to lose weight recently, and Hanyu-kun asked me to eat sweet things again."

After taking a sip of lemonade, Hanyu raised an eyebrow, "You don't want to eat sweet things, then let's change?"

"I don't want to trade with you, it's so sour." Maki thanked the waiter generously and started complaining about Hanyu who wanted to fatten himself up, "How can I finish all this?"

Hanyu shook his head helplessly. He remembered that Maki loved sweets very much when she was a child. She ate a lot in one go and was still not satisfied. No one would believe that she couldn't finish it now.

"Then I'll start." After failing to refuse, Miss Maki gave up her weight loss plan.

Looking at his phone, Hanyu's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. He had already thought of part of the song that Eriri wanted, and all that was left was to perfect it.

Maki glanced at the serious Hanyu-ge, blushed, picked up a piece of tiramisu, and put it to his mouth, "How can you think of other things when you are with me? Thank you for your hard work."

"Can I not eat? I want to lose weight too."

The lady with droopy eyes narrowed her eyes, "What do you think, Hanyu-san who can't gain weight at all."

Hanyu had no choice but to take a bite. Even though he had done this kind of thing many times when he was a child, he still felt embarrassed to be fed by a girl.

After finishing her meal, Maki propped up her side face and looked at the sky in the distance. The drizzle yesterday morning made the air fresher and the sunlight much clearer. "Hanyu-nii, senior Honoka and the others invited me to join Muse. I don't know what to do."

Hanyu imagined the tsundere girl jumping on the stage in her performance costume and couldn't help laughing, which made Maki on the other side so angry that she flicked him and said, "Be serious, Hanyu-kun. I'm so fed up with it lately."

Hanyu restrained his expression and took a sip of lemonade, "Maki, do you like school idols? If it is something you like, I will support you unconditionally."

"I... should like it, but..."

"No buts, just do what you like, and leave the rest to me." Hanyu touched Maki's head, "Let's go, I'll go to your house tonight."

"Eh?"

Maki was frightened by Hanyu's words. She didn't expect that Hanyu would suddenly come to her house.

"Didn't we agree to compose music together? I don't have a piano in my apartment." Yuzuru pouted and wondered whether he should move his piano to the apartment. "Besides, I just said that I'll leave the rest to you, right? At least I have to help you convince Aunt first."

At first, Maki thought that Hanyu was just making a casual promise as an outsider, but she didn't expect that he would directly think of the reason for her hesitation. "But this will cause trouble to Qingkong brother, I don't want it."

"What are you thinking about? I just want to borrow your piano. I'm not that enthusiastic."

Maki curled her lips. It would be strange if there wasn't any. Brother Qingkong, who was a bit arrogant but acted upright, was almost as arrogant as herself.

"Anyway, since you ate tiramisu, you have to take responsibility." Hanyu smiled faintly. You have to use a straight ball to deal with Maki.

Chapter 34: Beautiful Gaoling Flower

"By the way, don't you have to go to the hospital today?" Hanyu walked casually on the road with a lollipop in his mouth, "I remember you always have to go there."

Curling her hair, Nishikino Maki glanced at the lollipop in Hanyu's mouth and hummed softly, "I told my dad that I had something to talk to you about, so he gave me a day off."

"It's really not easy, the heir of Nishikino Hospital."

"Brother Qingkong is about the same. I heard from mom that you used to be much more tired than me." Zhenji's eyes dimmed a little, "But I can't be as good as you. I can only make up for it with time."

Hanyu tapped Maki's head gently and said, "That's not true. Maki is amazing."

Maki wanted to say something, but she closed her mouth again. After a few times, she couldn't help it and called Hanyu, "Brother Qingkong, didn't you notice that we are going the wrong way?"

"Ah, it seems so. I've been a little reckless recently, eh hey (good reading)", Hanyu smiled, "You're not in the wrong place, Maki just follow me."

Maki, who was confused, realized that Hanyu had not forgotten the way, so she ignored him and followed him silently until the two of them arrived in front of the quaint Japanese-style building.

"Homura? I seem to have heard of him somewhere." Maki muttered, and saw several seniors wearing Otonogizaka uniforms coming out, "Aozora, do you want to eat Japanese sweets?"

"No, it's just a souvenir." Hanyu walked in and saw Aunt Takasaka. "Hello, Auntie. Long time no see."

Maki watched Hanyu talking with the elders and felt a little envious. She wondered when she would be able to communicate with her own parents like this.

"Ah, Hanyu-nii, and Maki-chan." Kousaka Honoka put on a white smock, and it looked like she was preparing to entertain guests. "Come up and sit down. Umi is here too."

Hanyu politely declined the invitation, "I have to visit Maki's mother today, so I won't bother you anymore."

Maki looked at Hanyu who had taken a lot of Japanese confectionery and couldn't help but laugh, "Aozora-san is very popular. Even Kosaka-san's mother likes you so much."

Holding Maki's commuter bag in one hand and weighing Japanese confectionery in the other, Hanyu felt a little desperate as he had no free hand to knock on Maki. "They are too enthusiastic. It's a bit overwhelming. Maki, can you help me hold this?"

Taking out two lollipops from his pocket, Hanyu gave one to Maki, "Here, the wagashi is for Auntie, and the lollipop is for Maki, so you won't stare at me."

"No, it feels so childish, and I didn't even watch it!"

Hanyu maintained his position, and there was really no other way, so Maki took over, "Really, Qingzora brother is still like a child."

"Is there anything?" Hanyu stretched out his hand to take back what he had asked Maki to carry, but the tsundere lady dodged him immediately. "Huh?"

Maki, blushing and holding candy in her mouth, rejected Hanyu's kindness. "It was like this when we were kids. We ate together and solved problems together. I don't want Qingkong to leave me behind."

Hanyu looked at Maki's serious expression, smiled and shook his head, "So that's why tsunderes are so stupid."

"Huh, who are you talking about?"

"You know who to tell."

Amidst the noise, the two men reached their destination. They wanted to get straight to the point, but ended up finding someone unexpected.

"Nishikino-san and Hanyu-san?"

"Koizumi-kun?" Hanyu put the Japanese fruit on the coffee table, a little confused, "You have something to ask Maki, right? I won't bother you then."

Even though their relationship had built up from nothing during the last live performance, it wasn't that good yet. Maki signaled Hanyu with her eyes to stay, but the bastard ignored her and went out to look for his mother.

"Qingkong, you haven't come here to play for a long time. Auntie, I thought you and Maki had some conflict." Passing the tea to Hanyu, Ruifei touched his head, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"Auntie, you sound like you're blaming me." Hanyu sighed, "Maki wants to be a school idol, and she's afraid that you and uncle will stop her."

"Yeah, I won't agree to that no matter what you say. Maki is going to inherit the hospital." Aunt Ruifei seemed to like the touch of Hanyu's hair and helped him tie two pigtails. "The piano is okay, but the music of school idols has a frivolous feeling."

Hanyu looked at Aunt Ruifei who looked very happy, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "But I remember my mother told me that she and Aunt Ruifei had formed a band or something, and at that time..."

Looking at Hanyu kindly, Ruifei took back her hand that was covering his mouth, "What are you talking about, Qingkong? Auntie, I didn't hear clearly."

Shaking his head frantically, Hanyu didn't want to be arranged by Aunt Ruifei. After all, this person was his mother's best friend, and the two of them might come up with something weird.

"Maki should really like school idols, and they are different from ordinary idols. They will not affect Maki's future life." Hanyu recited the information he had looked up before. "Maki doesn't like many things. I hope Auntie can acquiesce to her doing this one thing."

“And I think it’s similar to forming a band…”

"You did this on purpose, didn't you? I'll ask China to slash you!" Ruifei, realizing that she had lost her composure, coughed lightly and blushed slightly. "I can acquiesce to this matter. After all, Maki has never asked her parents for anything since she was a child."

Hanyu took a sip of tea and said, "What about uncle?"

Rui Fei curled her lips and said, "As long as Zhen Ji takes the initiative to ask him, he will not refuse."

Oh yes, Uncle Nishikino is a daughter-obsessed person, and Hanyu forgot this.

"Mom, let me take Koizumi-san for a while." Maki was followed by the shy Koizumi Hanayo. The two children successfully held hands in such a short time, which stunned Hanyu.

"It just so happens that Qingkong and I have finished our chat. You two can go see your friend off together." Ruifei tapped Hanyu's head. "Stay here tonight, otherwise Qiannai will definitely say that I mistreat her son."

Hanyu felt that the maniac who sold his son probably liked him being treated badly by others.

Maki poked Hanyu gently and asked about the result. After seeing Hanyu's smile, she laughed happily, "Koizumi-san, let's go find the senior together tomorrow!"

"You too, Nishikino-san?" Hanayo was very happy to have a companion. "Please give me your guidance in the future."

Hanyu on the side silently complained, "What if they don't want you?"

The two men looked at Hanyu at the same time, and Hanyu raised his hands to show that he surrendered, and what he just said was pure criticism.

Looking at Hanayo's receding figure, Hanyu teased Maki next to him, "You've made a friend, but I have to remind you that Koizumi has a boyfriend."

Maki took a step back in surprise, her face full of disbelief, "Really?" After calming down a little, she thought Hanayo was quite cute, and even though she was in an all-girls school, it wasn't strange for her to have a boyfriend.

"It's fake. It's true that he has a girlfriend. Her name is Hoshizora Rin, and she's from childhood. Be careful that your friend might be snatched away." Hanyu curled his lips. He had just told Nino that he would take care of the masters, but he received the message "Finally waited for this day". He immediately felt miserable, as if humans were worse than cats.

"No way." Maki turned around and hesitated for a moment before inviting Hanyu, "It's still a while before dinner. Didn't you say you want to compose some music? Come with me."

Hanyu said "oh" and walked to Maki's piano room, sitting aside obediently.

"What are you doing sitting there? Come over here." Maki gave up half of her seat to Hanyu. "If you don't have any inspiration, just play whatever you want. Isn't that what you taught me?"

Hanyu didn't dare to say that he had fooled you before, so he had to bite the bullet and sit next to Maki. "If you can't keep up with my pace, I will dislike you, little Maki."

"It's no use trying to provoke me. If you can't keep up, I'll play one of my own songs for you."

After a while, Hanyu sat next to him and looked at Maki with a smile, who had fulfilled her previous flag.

"Well, listen carefully, 'Long Live Loving You.'" Maki played and sang, while Hanyu listened carefully. The broken melodies in his mind gradually connected together, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. He finally completed the song that Eriri wanted.

Chapter 35: Miss, this is the waiter you ordered

"There is faint thunder and a gloomy sky, but I hope the wind and rain will come and keep you here."

"There is faint thunder and a gloomy sky. Even if there is wind but no rain, I will stay here."

"Very good, Hanyu and Nakano, please sit down." The Chinese teacher wrote elegant words on the blackboard with chalk, "These are two famous question-and-answer songs in the Manyoshu."

Ichika sat down and stared blankly at Hanyu's back in front of him, as if he was still immersed in the question and answer scene with Hanyu just now. The boy's voice was gentle and clear, and his serious look seemed as if he was responding to her.

"What a pity that it was just an ordinary question and it happened to choose him and me." Ichika lay on the table, looking at the textbook and not listening to the class. She had already asked Yotsuba about this part of the content, so it didn't matter if she was a little lazy.

As soon as school was over, Nakano Ichika picked up her schoolbag and went out. There was a love letter in the shoe cabinet. She took a look and didn't see any handwriting she was familiar with. She smiled self-deprecatingly and threw it into her schoolbag.

There is a scene being filmed in a cafe today, and Yihua has to rush over there. She can only worry about touching up her makeup and changing her clothes when she gets there.

"Ms. Nakano, are you not feeling well?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. It's easy to feel sleepy in this season." Ichika handled other people's concerns appropriately. Having been an actress for such a long time, she is no longer the timid little actress she used to be.

Thanks to Hanyu, Ichika, who passed the audition, has now gotten a role with a lot of lines. Although she is not the protagonist, it is much better than before.

"It's just that I'm a little unhappy. I played a loser." Looking at herself in the mirror with a side ponytail, Ichika pouted. This image only made her feel that she was pretending to be young, not like a reliable big sister at all. "Little devil schoolgirl, tsk, no wonder I can't win."

After controlling her expression, Ichika immersed herself in acting, but she met an unexpected person.

"Ms. Michiko, what's the matter with you calling me over?" The young man sat at the table nonchalantly. It seemed that he had left everything behind and came to look for the girl. There was also a beautiful head maid standing next to him. "Didn't you say you rented it out to the crew? Do you still need me?"

Ichika turned around suddenly, leaving the mustache-faced president confused.

"How can it be nothing? Why is Qingkong here?" Ichika bit her finger. Although she knew that this behavior was a bit childish, she couldn't help it. "The scene later will be very embarrassing. I don't want him to see it."

I asked the president and was told that the outsider was the pastry chef of this restaurant.

The corners of his mouth twitched. Ichika didn't know that Hanyu had this identity. Why did this guy always scare him?

“Ms. Michiko, I also just started learning how to make desserts recently.” Hanyu was not being modest, he was just worried that his poor performance would cause the store to suffer losses.

"Kotori, she said the desserts you made were delicious." Michiko blinked in confusion, "and she said she would come over to help you later."

Hanyu held his forehead helplessly. If he had known, he would not have fed the bird that day. The seemingly most reliable Mumu Owl actually bought him. How could this be forgiven?

"I'm sorry I'm late." The crisp voice, accompanied by the sound of wind chimes at the door of the store, sounded quite pleasant, "Brother Hanyu, there are three more people in our Muse. I heard that there is also help from a mysterious person~"

Hanyu touched the tip of his nose. He just helped Maki deal with the easy-to-deal-with Aunt Mizuki. "Three people, Maki, Koizumi, and who else? Senior Xi?"
