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

Nan Xiaoniao was stunned for a moment, "It's Junior Xingkong. Although the vice president has been helping, she doesn't seem to have any intention of joining."

Hanyu nodded, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start working. Today he gave the demo of the song to Eriri and the tutorial materials to Hui. It was not bad to practice here. "Thank you for your help, Kotori."

"Okay~ I'll turn you into a bird snack too, Hanyu-nii(?8?)"

"What is that? Your idol declaration? So stupid." Hanyu tapped Minami Kotori's forehead to stop her from hitting him. "Ms. Michiko, what are your specific requirements?"

Pointing at her face, Michiko repeated the crew's request, "The more gorgeous the better, that's what they said."

Hanyu and Minami Kotori blinked at the same time. The two good-looking boys and girls made Michiko laugh. "It's useless even if you act cute. Their request is just so weird. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother you."

Hanyu flicked the feathers on Minami-Kotori's head and thought it was even stranger than Yotsuba's ribbon. "Let's work hard together?"

"Roger that!"

Ichika, who was not far away, saw them chatting happily together and pouted unhappily, thinking, you guys worked so hard, but the food you make later is for me to eat? If it doesn't taste good, I will definitely criticize you, Qingkong.

With the apron on, Minami Kotori becomes even prettier and cuter, giving off the look of a good wife and mother.

"Kotori is so cute like this." Hanyu handed the washed strawberries to Minami Kotori's cherry-colored lips, "Ah, I said the wrong thing. She should always be this cute."

“I’m not cute or anything like that.” Minami Kotori has never had much confidence in herself. Even though she was happy for a moment, she immediately calmed down. “Don’t talk about that. Hanyu-kun, let me help you tie your apron.”

Knowing that he couldn't change the bird's attitude immediately, Hanyu shook his head slightly and began to think about what kind of dessert he could make to meet the crew's requirements.

After some effort, the two of them finally finished two cakes. Wiping the sweat from their foreheads, Xiaoniao smiled with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your hard work~" Miss Michiko poked her head out and smiled when she saw the results of the two people's work. "As expected, Kotori and Hanyu are the most reliable."

But when she saw that there was one extra portion, Michiko tilted her head and said, "Hanyu, did you make one extra portion?"

There was a card on the cake, and Michiko read it softly, "For the lovely head maid and maid~" Pointing at herself, Michiko was a little happy, "Is it for me and Kotori?"

"Well, because Miss Michiko's reward is too generous, I think it's better to repay you in this way." Hanyu handed the fork to the bird, "Don't just stand there, I'll take it to you."

After carrying the cake, Hanyu walked over to the crew, thinking that he would be fine after handing it over, but he was held on the shoulder by a man who looked like the director.

"Hey, little brother, are you interested in taking a part-time job?"

Hanyu pointed at himself, "Me?"

The following conversation made Hanyu look helpless. Basically, he was attracted by his looks and wanted to be a test waiter in a coffee shop.

"You should ask the store manager. I don't have..."

"I want to see Hanyu act too~" Michiko said with cream on the corner of her mouth. Hanyu handed her a tissue helplessly, "But if it's too much trouble, forget it."

Hanyu agreed very much with what Miss Michiko said. He just wanted to go home and pet the cats or something. It would be bad if the masters were spoiled by Nino.

"It won't take too long. Just bring the plate, little brother." The director pointed at the girl who had been lowering her head not far away, "Put it in front of Miss Iroha."

Hanyu looked over and immediately recognized who the person with the side ponytail was. Hanyu, who wanted to stay out of trouble, smiled sinisterly and agreed to do it.

"Great, the costumes for the crew..."

"I'll just use the waiter uniform of this store and do some advertising at the same time." Having said that, Hanyu knew that he seemed to be the only waiter in this store, and he had already been laid off.

Sebastian, with his bow tie adjusted and wearing white gloves, appeared in front of Minami Kotori, the girl's eyes sparkling with stars.

"My beautiful lady, please forgive me for being rude." Taking a tissue, he gently wiped the cream off the bird's mouth, and Hanyu pouted, "Your expression is so silly."

"Hehe, who made Hanyu-nii so handsome?" Xiaoniao blushed. "Luckily it's just a minor role. If it was any other role, Hanyu-nii would have become famous."

"What are you thinking? Dad will be angry if I go to act." Hanyu stroked the bird's feathers, "And even if that happens, I'm still your brother Hanyu."

Touching his chin, Hanyu looked at Ichika over there with interest, a smile on his face.

Chapter 36: Just a Flower

Ichika looked at the male protagonist in front of her. The script that she had gone over in her mind countless times became blurry. And it was not because of the male protagonist, but because of the bored extra Kabuto standing next to her.

"You act like I'm forcing you, Ando-senpai." Miss Iroha had a devilish smile on her face, "Cheer up, we're just working, not a couple at all."

"This shop's desserts are famous. If you can treat me once, I might consider accepting your confession." Iroha stirred the coffee, and the aroma of the coffee drifted into his nose along with the hot steam. "Just kidding, are you a little moved? Hey?"

Hanyu watched Ichika's performance and thought that she was worthy of her own attribute bonus and was very familiar with playing this kind of loser role. However, just after he said this, Ichika sneezed and the director next to him frowned and signaled for a retake.

"Damn it, I can't concentrate with him here." With sweaty palms, Ichika suddenly realized how Iroha felt in the script, the feeling of being stared at by the person he likes but having to pretend not to care, "Please don't look at me, please, Aozora."

Hanyu was stunned for a moment. He read some emotions from Ichika's eyes. He pouted and turned his head away so as not to put pressure on the girl who was acting.

Finally, it was the turn of the extras, and a waiter who was more handsome than the leading actor appeared. According to the director, this was the effect he wanted, after all, the leading actor was the kind of handsome that was not noticeable.

But Ichika feels that this waiter will be the protagonist no matter where he is. He can obviously make a living with his looks, but he still comes here to compete in acting skills. It's a tough situation, Qingkong.

Putting the cake he had carefully made in front of Ichika, Hanyu completed his part perfectly, and all that was left was to watch Ichika perform.

"Aren't the cakes in this shop very beautiful, senior?" Iroha picked up a strawberry with a fork and put it in his mouth, showing a cute expression, "Hehe, you want to eat it, but I won't give it to you. You are not my real boyfriend."

"If there is a chance, let's come together next time. I hope that by then we won't be pretending to be in a relationship~ Senior~"

After the mistake just now, Ichika's clean and neat performance made the director very satisfied.

After this little episode, Hanyu returned to Minami Kotori and Michiko. There was still a piece of cake left that he made for them. "Is it because I made it bad?"

He was a little worried about his own level. If Ichika ate something unpalatable, it would be difficult for her to show such a happy expression. Originally, the sinister Hanyu just wanted to tease Ichika, he didn't want to cause trouble for her.

Although Hanyu knew that his appearance was already causing trouble for Ichika.

"No, but we wanted to let Brother Hanyu have some too." Xiaoniao put a piece of cake to Hanyu's mouth, "Big star, open your mouth, ah~"

"It's just a supporting role." Hanyu took a bite of the cake he and Kotori made together, and the soft and sweet taste filled his mouth. If the cake prepared for the five sisters was of this standard, there would be no need to worry about their birthdays in the near future. "This time, it's all thanks to Kotori."

"No, I was just helping out." Nan Xiaoniao didn't think it was her own achievement. She stroked her cheek gently, looking very happy. "It would be great if Guoguo and Xiaohai could eat such delicious food."

"That's not impossible." Hanyu took the money he had just earned from playing an extra role and put it in the cash register with a whoosh. He looked like someone who had worked here before. "Ms. Michiko, can I borrow the ingredients and the kitchen? I want to make some more desserts with Kotori."

Michiko fished out the money and stuffed it into Hanyu's pocket with a cute smile on her face, "Hanyu is here to help, how can I ask you for money? I want to eat dessert too, just give me some later."

Ichika was dealing with the crew, glancing towards Hanyu from time to time. For some reason, she felt a little unhappy when she saw him chatting happily with two girls.

Taking advantage of the break, Yihua found a place to read. Her sisters have been working hard recently and she has been a bit of a drag. Although she is working part-time, this is not an excuse.

Nino is also responsible for the daily life and meals of the five sisters. Miku has the strongest learning ability and is constantly growing. Although Yotsuba is a fool, she is always comforting herself. May is the most hardworking one, and she has already tried very hard to have such an obedient child live with her.

Ichika didn't feel that she had been wronged. As an elder sister, she must protect her younger sisters, so it didn't matter what happened to her.

There was another scene to be performed later. Ichika bit her pen and struggled to read the knowledge in the book. She felt a little sleepy but still kept her heavy eyelids open.

"Don't bite the pen." A slender finger appeared in front of Ichika's eyes and flicked the pen she was biting. "Ms. Iroha is really hardworking."

Following the finger, Ichika saw the boy's eyes, which were as clear as before.

"Why is Mr. Waiter here? Shouldn't he be entertaining guests?"

Hanyu handed the freshly baked cake to Ichika and said, "The only customer came here, so I had no choice but to follow him. It was really hard to find."

"You're lying. Qingkong must be very familiar with this place." Ichika didn't want to change her pen to a fork. She wanted to read for a while longer. "I don't like sweet things. Qingkong, have you forgotten? Please help me eat it."

Seeing her like this, Hanyu sat down next to Ichika and took the pen from her. "You need to focus on this part of the knowledge. You can't just flip through the pages casually."

Hanyu had read the textbook countless times. After observing it for a while, he knew that Ichika didn't read it carefully for some other reason. "If you don't like sweet things, try this."

Ichika, who was in a bad mood, saw Hanyu taking out a small bag of strange things and said, "This is cherry blossoms. Can flowers be eaten?"

"Well, this is salted cherry blossoms, and they are the most suitable for eating." Hanyu took one out of the hot water and watched it bloom again through the glass and water. It was like dancing to celebrate its rebirth. The color gradually faded and became transparent, but it was extremely beautiful. "If you soak it in water and drink it, it will have the fragrance of cherry blossoms."

Yihua took a sip of the sakura tea, and the taste of sakura filled her lips and teeth. "It tastes good."

Hanyu put the cake aside and waited quietly for Ichika to finish her tea. He was about to explain the chapter she was reading to her, but just as he was about to speak, he saw the girl's head leaning over.

"Falling asleep?" Hanyu couldn't help but laugh. Ichika, who tried so hard to show the image of a reliable elder sister in front of him, actually failed at this time. If she woke up, she would definitely be upset, "Ichika, wake up..."

He wanted to wake Ichika up so that she could have an excuse that it was just a joke, but Hanyu kept his mouth shut because he heard the girl's mumbling.

"The cake just now was delicious. I really like the sweet ones."

Hanyu looked at the bag of salted cherry blossoms in his hand, smiled and shook his head. He thought that the girl liked salted food, so he asked Miss Michiko to buy it for him. However, he didn't expect that not liking sweets was just an excuse.

"You make me look like an idiot...stupid Ichika." Hanyu leaned against the wall, using his shoulder as a pillow for Ichika, and gently took her book. Hanyu made notes on it, trying to help Ichika, who was very similar to his past self, in his own way.

By chance, Hanyu came across the "Manyoshu" that he had learned this morning. He saw that the girl had written a question mark under the two question-and-answer songs, with her own beautiful handwriting next to it. She carefully copied the song that Hanyu was reading next to it, and also drew a small flower under the song she was reading.

"A round of flowers, huh?"

After biting the pen accidentally, Hanyu remembered that Ichika had done the same thing just now. His face suddenly turned red. Although his saliva had dried up, he still felt it was very strange.

Taking out a cherry blossom and putting it in his mouth, Hanyu forced himself to forget what happened just now. The salty taste and floral fragrance spread in his mouth, and the cherry blossom took on a different shape in his mouth than usual.

It's obviously just a flower.

Chapter 37 Of course I choose to forgive

"Xiao Qingkong, guess who I am~"

"I can't guess." Hanyu took a bite of bread, "I baked too much cake yesterday, Runxiang, do you want to eat some? Although the temperature in spring is still cool, it's better to eat cake as soon as possible."

Feeling bored, Takemoto Junka withdrew her hand, but when she heard Hanyu say there was cake to eat, she cheered happily.

However, Hanyu knew that as long as it was something he gave to Runxiang, the child would happily accept it.

"You've been very busy these days, haven't you? You have to go to the classical music club and train hard for the competition." After taking a bite of the bread, Hanyu took out a box of yogurt from his pocket, but he couldn't put in the straw because his other hand was holding the cake for everyone.

Runxiang was a little curious about how Hanyu knew that, but when she saw him staring at the straw in a daze, she laughed, "Little Qingkong is so stupid~"

After inserting the fork into the cake, Runxiang felt a little sorry for the decoration on it, as she hadn't had the heart to eat it for a long time.

"Cooperate with me, Xiao Qingkong." But in order to free up one hand, Runxiang still chose to help her stupid Xiao Qingkong. Sure enough, this guy looked far from reliable. "If it falls to the ground, it must be because you are too stupid."

Letting Hanyu hold the yogurt steadily with his left hand, Wu Yuan broke off the straw with his right hand and stuffed it in with a little force. Although it was just a small thing, Runxiang really liked the feeling of being with Hanyu.

Everything was perfect so far, but when they separated, Runxiang accidentally touched the straw mouth with her finger.

"Oh…I'm sorry."

"Huh? Why do you have to apologize?" Hanyu noticed the girl's actions just now and chose not to say anything. He pretended to be puzzled and took a sip of yogurt. "Thank you, Runxiang, otherwise I would have to go to school to drink it. I almost choked to death just now."

Runxiang was stunned for a moment, then shook her head happily, "Nothing, I just woke up and my mind is not clear, hehe..."

"Have you been memorizing words in the morning recently?" Since the spring break, Hanyu has not sent a message to Runxiang in the morning to remind her to memorize English. "Oral English also needs to be practiced frequently."

Runxiang blinked, feeling a little guilty with cream on the corners of her mouth, "Maybe, but I didn't read these days because I was very sleepy..."

"After all, the competition will be held soon, so don't let yourself be too nervous." Hanyu found an excuse for Runxiang while sipping yogurt.

Runxiang nodded blankly, and after a while she realized the question she was going to ask. Gently biting the fork, Runxiang expressed her doubts.

"Well, I learned about it from your friend." Hanyu bit the straw habitually, but he noticed that Junxiang blushed, probably thinking about what happened just now. "I came home very late a few days ago, and I happened to see you running back to the swimming club after finishing the classical club activities, so I asked Kawase-san about it."

Nakano Yotsuba quit the swimming club at the beginning of this semester and is now concentrating on studying, otherwise Hanyu could have just contacted her directly. When Kawase heard that Hanyu was here to inquire about Junxiang, the look on his face really made Hanyu feel embarrassed.

"I was wondering why she was so nervous." Runxiang blushed, "She did something unnecessary again. I clearly told her not to tell you."

In previous swimming competitions, Hanyu and Xiaohui would always come to cheer for Runxiang and would give her full support before the competition. Runxiang really didn't want to disturb these two people.

One is now the head of the classical department, and the other is a master of slacking off. The leisurely days in junior high school are gone forever. Now everyone is busy with their own things, so why let others worry about themselves?

"It seems like you don't want me to know." Hanyu looked at the flashing traffic lights. The pedestrians coming and going at the intersection all looked hurried. "No wonder you didn't even ask for leave in order to keep Xiaohui from knowing."

"Well...it's not a big competition anyway. I can still get a place even without your encouragement. I have confidence in swimming."

Hanyu looked at Runxiang's confident look and tapped her head with his free hand. "I have confidence in you, but this can't be used as an excuse for you to hide it from Xiaohui and me. Didn't we agree before that we will always cheer you on?"

"Is there such an agreement?"

Runxiang tilted her head. She shouldn't have forgotten such an important thing.

"It was an agreement between Xiaohui and I. Because you, Runxiang, look unreliable, so Xiaohui and I felt that if we were not by your side, you would definitely fail." Hanyu recalled the past in junior high school, "Like that time Xiaohui and I didn't watch over you for a few days, and you drank too much cold drinks and didn't take care of your health. You caught a cold and missed the competition."

When Hanyu mentioned her embarrassing experience, Runxiang scratched her head. She didn't want to disturb her friends because she was going to college, but she failed without her friends.

"Just like that time, as long as Runxiang says this, she is forcing herself." Hanyu lowered his head and picked up a paper bag and handed it to the girl next to him. "Friends are there to be troubled, and those who are willing to be troubled by you are always here."

Runxiang hummed happily and looked at Hanyu seriously, "Sorry, I won't do this again in the future."

"Qingkong has no right to say that to Runxiang. You did something similar not long ago." Miss Kato suddenly appeared and held the strawberry on the cake to the frightened Runxiang's mouth. "So even if Qingkong can forgive you, I won't forgive you, Runxiang. I thought I was a very important friend of yours, but I didn't expect you to hide it from me."

Runxiang seemed at a loss. She realized her mistake and wanted to apologize to Xiaohui, but she didn't expect her good friend to suddenly appear.

"Eat this strawberry first and then apologize." Xiaohui put the strawberry into Runxiang's mouth with tenderness in her eyes, "I was actually quite angry just now because one of my good friends wanted to hide something like another idiot, but seeing you like this, Runxiang, I think maybe this is the real Runxiang."

Hanyu looked at Xiaohui and suddenly realized that Kato, who became the head of the classical music club, seemed to be gradually becoming stronger. Noticing Hanyu's strange look, Kato glanced at him and emphasized the word "idiot" in his words.

"Just because Runxiang is a person who cares about others, she wants to hide it from me and Qingkong, like an idiot. Although it's very gentle, it's not good at all, because Qingkong and I never regard your affairs as troublesome."

After saying so much in one breath, the traffic light in front of me turned green. I wanted to talk while walking, but Miss Kato was suddenly hugged by Runxiang.

"I'm sorry, Xiaohui, I shouldn't have thought so much. I want you and Xiaoqingkong to cheer me up. I want you to support me." Runxiang rubbed Kato's fair face. The obvious contrast in skin color made Hanyu laugh accidentally. Fortunately, the two girls didn't notice it, otherwise it would be terrible. "I like Xiaohui very much, so please forgive me."
