How rude, we are pure love!

"I-I see... So that's what you're doing. That's right, Qingye-kun is also a boy. Well, then we won't bother you for now. Let us know when you're better. No, but... be more restrained and take care of yourself, okay?"

The teasing voice startled Qingye, and then the corners of his mouth twitched a few times and his face turned red - What on earth are you women thinking about these days!

How could he do such a thing in public!

Following a few ambiguous teasing sounds, the footsteps gradually faded away, and Qingye slumped in his chair, his eyes dull. In order to protect the girl's face, he really lost something very important...

In a trance, he stood up and prepared to leave, letting the girl cry as much as she wanted.

The next second, he met eyes with the blue-haired girl.

I don’t know when, Ba Nai Jian stopped crying, only a few faint tear marks remained on her pretty face, but it did not affect her essential beauty, and I felt pity for her.

She looked at Qingye.

Eyes widened.

A look of curiosity.

Then say:

“——Are you really doing that!?”

"???"

...

ps: Great chapter, please support meow!

...

008. Mom! Where’s my cake?

Girl, I'll give you a punch!

Qingye clenched his fists with an indifferent expression.

However, he did not specifically answer Ba Nai Jian's question. Being misunderstood is misunderstood. It is also good to lower the favorability.

As long as he thinks he is handsome like this, that’s enough!

Qingye curled his lips, walked past the girl, opened the door and walked out of the lounge.

What he didn't know was that after he left, Banaijian kept staring at his back, subconsciously touched his face, his watery eyes floating, and finally, a faint murmur echoed in the empty room.

“…What an idiot.”

*

[Two days passed in the blink of an eye.]

【During this period, your relationship with Yanaijian gradually became closer.】

[This loser girl is clearly friends with most of her colleagues, yet she only actively chats with you.]

You originally wanted to keep a certain distance from her, but she always naturally eliminated the boundary you set. In the end, you had no choice but to give up on this behavior. Or maybe, deep down, you also wanted someone with whom you could chat easily.

[Furthermore, Yanaijian is truly an easy girl to get along with. Whether it's a quiet atmosphere or a cheerful one, she adapts quickly and carefully captures many details. When you're with her, you don't need to deliberately think about the topic or worry about anything. She seems carefree, but in fact, she understands daily life very well and is even very good at dealing with people.]

[However, since you spend most of your daytime at school, your time together is only three or four hours at night.]

The sunset gradually sank into the west, dyeing the slender clouds on the horizon red.

The petals on both sides of the slope fluttered lightly and dreamily, gently falling to the ground, the light pink and orange complementing each other. A stray cat lay on the eaves of a single-family house, yawning, its erect cat eyes silently watching the passers-by.

Qingye rode his bicycle skillfully, nimbly moving through the residential area like a deer in the woods. His flying short hair and tails of clothes revealed the youthful vigor and vitality unique to youth in the sunset.

The basket in front of the car was filled with rolled-up newspapers. Perhaps because the newspapers were almost delivered, he inexplicably felt that the sunset and the breeze were welcoming him - well, it felt like an illusion caused by working too much.

Go forward, turn, brake, and report.

Soon, the remaining newspapers were delivered.

Qingye stopped the car and looked at the blossoming trees along the street, sighing softly, "It turns out it's spring now."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a small cry from the side. He looked in the direction of the sound and found some things scattered on the ground not far away, like fruits and vegetables, and a bag of rice next to it. It seemed that he bought too many things and didn't hold them firmly.

Seeing this, Qingye quickly rode his bike over and helped the other person pick up the fallen items and put them into plastic bags, but they bought too many things this time!

"Sister, it's too difficult for you to walk with all this on your own. I happen to be on a bike, so I can help you take it back." Qingye said with a smile. Because the other person was a woman, he paused and added, "If you're worried, I can just take you to the intersection."

He had no intention of flirting with the man, he just wanted to help. Besides, the man didn't even raise his head, he didn't even know what the other person looked like, let alone do such a thing.

"Hey! Is that okay? I'm just worried about how to get all this stuff home, so I'll leave it to you!"

A voice as gentle and moving as a lily rang in my ears.

She raised her face, and at that moment, Qingye saw her true face.

She was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

She looked at him with a gentle smile like a dandelion, her blue hair tied into a side ponytail, her figure was slim, revealing the tolerant temperament of a mature woman. She gave him the feeling of the mature Roxy in "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World".

Oh no, I really like this big sister!

Looking at the woman's face up close, Qingye became inexplicably nervous. He subconsciously avoided her gaze and stiffly helped her load the things onto the front basket and back seat of the bicycle.

After packing his things, he breathed a sigh of relief and pushed his bicycle forward. The older sister with a side ponytail followed him with her hands behind her back.

"Hey, there was a big sale at the supermarket today and I accidentally bought too much. Thank you so much. Can you tell me your name?" In the setting sun, a woman whose age could not be determined put her hands together and smiled at him as she walked.

"Qingye..."

"It's Qingye-kun! I like this name very much." She opened her red lips, whispered the name twice, and smiled with squinted eyes. It was obviously an ordinary social etiquette, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of conviction.

"Sister, you are beautiful too."

—Don’t show that disgusting smile! And don’t take it seriously! Otherwise, people will think you’re a jerk!

When Qingye realized that the corners of his mouth were rising uncontrollably, he quickly slapped himself to calm down.

"elder sister……?"

The blue-haired woman showed a strange look, then nodded seriously: "Well, I think this name is great, Qingye-kun, just call me sister from now on!"

"..."

The setting sun lengthened the shadows of the two people. After walking for a while, the mysterious woman stopped, stretched out her finger, and pointed at a house in front.

"Qingye-kun, just drop me off here. My house is just ahead."

Qingye responded. He had calmed down by now and didn't try to be too attentive. After helping the other party move the things to the doorstep, he said goodbye. As for going in for a cup of tea or something strange, it was impossible for that to happen - he had to go to work.

"Please wait a moment, Kiyono-kun."

The blue-haired woman said this hurriedly and ran into the house. After a while, she ran back and handed Qingye something.

"This is for you. Please consider it as a small token of your gratitude." She breathed softly and winked at Qingye.

Qingye looked down and saw that it was actually a small box of cake.

It wasn't a valuable item, but it was just the right size for the age difference between them. He smiled and said, "Then I'll accept it with gratitude."

The two waved to each other, and Qingye rode away on his bicycle reluctantly.

What a beauty, one in a million... I wonder if I'll have the chance to meet her again in the future?

With a soft sigh, he put away his thoughts and started his life as a corporate slave today.

*

That night.

Banaijian Xingcai's miserable wails like a defeated dog echoed throughout the entire residential area.

“Mom, where’s my cake—!?”

...

ps: Updates will be quicker soon!

...

009. Important treasures were taken away!

crunch - crunch -

Banai was wiping the table in front of him vigorously, and he didn't stop until it was so clean that it could be used as a mirror. The way he gritted his teeth made it seem like he had a deep hatred for the table.

Qingye saw her lively and interesting expression and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

"My important treasure was taken away by other guys!" Banai stopped what he was doing and looked depressed.

Don't use such misleading terms!

Qingye was speechless. If it was any other girl, he would have been a little worried, but if it was Yanaijian...it must be that the snacks or something were stolen by someone else, right?

The two were working and chatting at the same time. At this time, the wind chimes hanging on the door of the shop jingled, and then a voice full of enthusiasm and vitality sounded in their ears.

"Banaina! I'm here to see you!"

Qingye looked up and saw a man and a woman walking straight towards them at the door. One of the girls with healthy wheat-colored skin greeted them first.

Qingye glanced at her and felt that she looked familiar. Then he thought about the words she shouted... Could this be the legendary second loser, Burnt Salt Lemon?

Can also be called black-skinned sports student.

Of course, this is a teasing nickname. In fact, this girl is quite cute. Her neat short hair and yellow lemon-shaped hair accessories highlight her girlish charm. Coupled with her graceful body lines, she is fully worthy of the title of beautiful girl.

As for the guy next to Shaoyan Lemon, he should be her childhood sweetheart. He wears glasses and looks gentle and refined. Normally, the two of them should be the standard template of childhood sweethearts who are bound to get married in the future. Unfortunately...

This is the Loser set.

Qingye complained mercilessly and prepared to leave - after all, these two people were obviously here to see Banai, and they were not familiar with him, so it was not appropriate for him to stay here - but as soon as he turned around, he felt a strong force pulling his sleeve.

He slowly turned around and saw Banaijian giving him a meaningless smile of encouragement - What do you want me to encourage you for?

Because of the girl's interruption, he missed the best opportunity to leave.

The loser group number two came to the table where they were. Yanaijian directly shook hands with Shaoyan Lemon and hugged her with a silly expression on his face. Are you acting out a cute comic?

Fortunately, the store is relatively quiet at the moment and I don’t need to work for the time being.

After a brief interaction, Banaijian briefly introduced them to each other. When it was Qingye's turn, she pinched her smooth chin in distress.

"Lemon, Ayano-kun, this is my... my senior? Friend?"

"Why is it a question?" Qingye sighed.

"Anyway, Qingye-kun has helped me a lot. He's a good person." Banaijian smiled widely.

"Then we will be friends from now on, Qingye-kun!" Shaoyan Lemon also smiled at him.

...Huh? How did it get to this point? I don't want to be a part of your sweet and sour romantic comedy!

Qingye nodded gently at them, feeling a little subtle inside.

He really didn't expect that Banaijian would take the initiative to introduce him to her circle... It should be considered a circle, but he was not sure, or it might be that she simply went with whatever she wanted.

As they spoke, the two men sat down on the chairs and began to look at the menu and order with great interest. Yanaijian took this opportunity to pull Qingye to a seat on the side and whispered to him stealthily, "Did you see it?"

What did you see?

Qingye was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the childhood sweethearts group over there before he suddenly realized what was going on. Was she talking about their relationship? Maybe she was the one who brought them together for dinner!

"It was my idea for them to come here to eat together. What do you think? Am I awesome?" Ba Nai winked at him proudly.

It really was you who did it! Wouldn't it be better to worry more about your own relationship instead of wasting time?

Qingye was silent for a moment, not knowing whether to admire or feel helpless.

"Hehe, Lemon and the others are childhood sweethearts. If they get together, I'll be more confident..."

Banaijian leaned closer to Qingye again and asked for his opinion: "How do you think we should create opportunities for them now?"

To be honest, he didn't want to care at first. These people's youth and love had nothing to do with him, and he didn't know where the current plot line was going, or whether 8K and Emperor Chaoyun from the winner group had appeared... But his relationship with Banaijian had improved in the past two days, and since the matter was right in front of him, it wouldn't matter if he gave an assist.

Qingye thought for a moment and continued, "You brought the person here. Do you have any good ideas?"
