Don't you guys dislike me?

Tachibana Haruna rubbed against Yuichi's back, hummed tenderly, opened her eyes reluctantly, and pouted her little mouth slightly.

"Stop pretending, you've already woken up."

"Has it been discovered?"

Her arms could finally be wrapped around Yuichi's neck openly. She laughed and played, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed at being exposed.

"Don't hug me like that. I'm all sweaty."

The sticky sweat intertwined with the fragrant smell of perfume, as well as the smooth thighs that he hooked his hands around, these few key words were enough to form a beautiful and erotic picture.

"I don't mind it."

"I hate it. Come down quickly. I'm dying of heat."

Yuichi pretended to put Tachibana Haruna down, but that delicate body hugged him tightly like a kitten that was afraid of falling into the water.

"Hey~ Wait a little longer! Wait five more minutes! I'll be down as soon as five minutes are up."

She came closer and spoke coquettishly in a lazy tone as if she had not yet woken up. Her black hair was blown on Youyi's face by the gentle breeze, which made him feel a little itchy.

"I know...I know, don't come close like that."

As if he was feeling uncomfortable because of the itchiness of her hair, Youyi no longer refused. He tilted his head to the side in disgust, and then he felt a few strands of hair sticking to his neck.

"I know Yuichi is the best~"

Tachibana Haruna smiled triumphantly, then her smile faded and she lay quietly on the broad back. She knew that she was taking advantage of Yuichi's gentleness, but she had no idea how far Yuichi would allow her to act coquettishly.

Maybe it is gradually decreasing because of my own willfulness, or it may be increasing. Laughter makes time pass quickly, so instead of laughing to yourself, it is better to calm down and feel his company.

"You didn't sleep at all, did you?"

Facing the wind, her wet bangs swayed heavily. She tilted her eyes to the side and asked slowly.

"I did fall asleep! At least I was on the way when I woke up."

"Just let it be."

……

……

That night, it was late and quiet, and the lights outside the window gradually dimmed.

Youyi leaned against the window, enjoying the evening breeze. He was thinking about how to comfort Gui Yanye and how to ask her out without seeming awkward.

The cool breeze smoothed out his complicated thoughts, but Yuichi was unable to find the continuation of his train of thought. When touching the shattered gem, he had to think about both the strength and the angle in advance, otherwise it would collapse at the first touch.

It's so difficult...

At this moment, the phone on the desk trembled slightly. Yuichi picked it up and saw a message from Chizuru Amamiya:

"Senior Hoshino, are you free this weekend? (Baby seal patting belly.jpg)"

Yuichi: "Tell me what you want first, and then I'll decide whether I'm free or not."

Chizuru: "(Seal frowns.jpg) Humph! I saw that the relationship between Senior and Katsura-san was a bit strained and I wanted to help you guys - are you really busy? (Seal rubs his hands.jpg)"

Yuichi: "Tell me about it."

Chizuru: "I called Katsura-san over on the weekend, and we went to the zoo together. Senior took the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with her, and then the knot in her heart was untied~ (Little seal patting its belly.jpg)"

Yuichi: "Well... thank you for your help."

Chizuru: "Leave it to me!"

The phone went off and slid onto the bed. Yuichi also fell onto the bed, slowly raising his depressed head. His jet-black hair half-covered his gorgeous purple eyes like a veil, faintly emitting a hazy glow.

Why did Chizuru Amamiya want to help me? Was she really just trying to get close to me? It was impossible, otherwise she would be so happy to see that the relationship between me and Kotonoha was strained...

Yuichi's thoughts were blocked, and he began to think about it. Until he remembered the day when Chizuru Amamiya took the initiative to come to Kotonoha Katsura to be friends. When Chizuru saw her three classmates, she looked unnatural. Was she afraid, nervous, or scared?

Was she ostracized by her classmates like Kotonoha, so she came to seek out fellow victim Kotonoha Katsura for warmth?

……

……

The next day, morning.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had just gotten up and came downstairs, saw Yuichi changing shoes at the entrance.

"Going out?"

"Okay, I've prepared breakfast for you and put it on the table." Youichi looked at the message on his phone without looking up.

"Oh--"

The girl yawned, looking as if she had not yet woken up, and the sound was long and muffled.

"girl?"

"friend."

"Be careful on the road."

Yuichi looked up with a little surprise, and saw that Kasumigaoka Utaha's face was flushed like the morning light that had not yet dissipated.

"okay."

Then, the door closed with a click, and the whole house fell into silence. Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew across the calm lake, causing barely detectable ripples:

"Fool……"

……

……

It is already the middle of June and summer is arriving with its scorching heat.

Yuichi arrived at the agreed station, and as soon as he got off the bus, he saw Chizuru Amamiya with her purple hair fluttering leaning against a pillar, tightly grasping the peripheral glances of passing men.

The contrast between the innocent face and the mature figure is huge, as if the clean white petals are wrapped with a poppy-like poison that makes people lose their minds. The lovely look is not the purity that stops people from moving forward, but the veil that tempts people to go further.

The T-shirt that should have been appropriate was lifted up by the breasts, revealing a flat and smooth belly. The denim shorts created an attractive depression on the two tight thighs, and the thin silk lightly covered the two long legs, which was particularly eye-catching.

Well...actually, this is the first time that Chizuru Amemiya is dressed like this. You can tell from the fact that she keeps pulling down the hem of her clothes which is too high. Her legs are kept together modestly, and she seems to be a little afraid of the eyes around her.

"Amamiya-san?"

Chizuru Amamiya, who was extremely sensitive to the air around her due to nervousness, quickly recognized Yuichi's voice, adjusted her expression, smiled sweetly, and her eyes sparkled:

"Senior Hoshino!"

"Is Kotonoha not here yet?" Youyi looked around.

"Hmm...it seems so..."

Da da da--

The uneasy footsteps seemed to respond to Youyi's doubts. Katsura Kotonoha trotted over, her lavender dress fluttering along with her beautiful black hair. The lingering fragrance left along the way was enough to make people feel itchy.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Gui Yanye was not good at sports to begin with, and because she spent too much time choosing clothes, she had to run over from home. The girl was panting, with thin layers of sweat on her pretty white face.

"It's okay. Senior Hoshino and I just arrived too."

"That's good..."

Chizuru Amemiya did not let the atmosphere become cold. She smiled and talked to Kotonoha Katsura.

Katsura Kotonoha responded to Chizuru with a faint smile, and at a certain moment she couldn't help but look up, and looked at Yuichi quietly and carefully, just like when she and Yuichi met for the first time on the train, like the little deer looking at the big bad wolf through the "forest" called Chizuru.

Yuichi, who was forced to watch the crowd because he couldn't join in the girls' conversation, seemed to notice Katsura Kotonoha's eyes, and rarely raised the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly.

Before their eyes could meet, the timid Xiaolu retracted his gaze and continued talking to Chizuru.

He didn’t know if it was Yuichi’s illusion, but he always felt that Kotonoha’s smile was a little brighter than just now.

..................

131. Like a senior

On weekends, there are quite a lot of people in the zoo, and the enthusiasm of the tourists seems to rise as the temperature rises.

There are also many couples, families, and people like Yuichi who come here to play with friends.

There shouldn't be anything special about Yuichi and his friends, but why do those passing tourists pay attention to the animals instead of focusing on them? Are they more attractive than the animals?

When he looked at the two graceful girls beside him, he immediately understood.

The sultry air seemed to tear at Chizuru's skin. She was covered in sweat and was as tempting as a fruit covered in dew in the early morning, but she herself was frowning.

"It's so hot, senior! Let's hold an umbrella!" On the other side where Katsura Kotonoha couldn't see, Chizuru Amamiya grabbed one of Yuichi's fingers and pulled it.

As she said this, she handed a black folding umbrella to Youyi.

Youyi weighed it and found it was a little heavy.

"The umbrella should be left to you and Kotonoha. It doesn't matter to me."

"Hehe~ You'll know if you stretch it open and see." The girl's pretty face raised the corner of her mouth, like a little devil laughing.

"Oh, by the way, remember to open it when there's no one in front of you."

Yuichi didn't understand what was going on, so he pressed the switch on the umbrella handle. The next second, the folded umbrella instantly unfolded like a bat's wings. It would be an exaggeration to say that it covered the sky, but the umbrella was more than enough to accommodate three people.

The only drawback is that it is a bit heavy. Youyi was caught off guard and almost dropped the umbrella when it was opened.

"Fuku-Fu~Senior, is my umbrella too big?" Chizuru Amamiya laughed even more wantonly, as if she was happy for having successfully played a prank on Yuichi.

"Aren't you tired of holding this umbrella by yourself?"

"No, no, no, this is something I specially customized for today! You must thank me! Senior!" Chizuru tilted her head back, and her sweet voice was low and slow, which had a kind of teasing feeling, especially matched with her clothes.

Yuichi raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes to Chizuru's half-covered clothes, and asked:

"Your clothes were specially prepared as well?"

As soon as the girl heard these words, it was like a ripening agent, turning her fair and rosy face red, making her look delicate and charming.

"Of course!"

Qianzuru kept pulling her clothes down. The scorching sun could not bring her warmth, and her lower abdomen felt cold.

Yuichi retracted his gaze at the right time, looked forward, and asked:

"Since you feel shy yourself, why do you still force yourself?"

She lowered her head, and the bright red had already spread to her earlobes.

"No... no... I'm not shy!" I just saw in a magazine that it's easier to capture the hearts of high school boys if I wear this, but who knew I would be exposed so much...

Chizuru Amemiya's voice was soft and unconvincing.

Kotonoha Katsura, who was half a step behind, looked at Chizuru Amamiya and Yuichi Hoshino. They were talking and laughing. When did the relationship between Yu-chan and Amamiya become so good?

His deep purple eyes sparkled with envy, then dimmed the next moment. If he were more honest, he could be like Amemiya-san, right?

Chizuru in front finally couldn't stand her face which was almost red enough to reveal its true color, and ran to Katsura Kotonoha as if escaping. Her awkward tone seemed to cover up her panic, well... the panic of snatching a man.

"Kuei-san, stop basking in the sun here. Why don't you go to Hoshino-senpai's place to cool off? Look—"

Chizuru pointed at the umbrella above Yuichi's head, "The umbrella I brought is very big, it can cover three people without any problem."

Gui Yanye's heart couldn't help but move, but her eyebrows were drooping, and she was afraid in her heart, and her steps slowed down.

"But, but..."

"Don't say but. If you keep on being exposed to the sun, even if Gui has a good sunscreen, it won't be able to block the June sun. It won't look good if you get tanned~"

Chizuru gave Katsura Kotonoha an excuse which was not a reason at all, but it also gave her a chance to get close to Yuichi. Chizuru pulled forward gently, and Kotonoha was led away half-heartedly.
