Mygo, Takamatsu Touma wants to reverse the future

This is the name of the book.

In order to avoid saying the wrong thing on the date and upsetting Tomori, she has been studying the key points of this book in her spare time these days.

Lacking Aine's communication skills and Su Shi's observational abilities, the tongue-tied Su Shi could only rely on the power of knowledge and books.

Twenty minutes later, she arrived at the place she had agreed to meet Gao Songdeng. She checked the time and there were still about twenty minutes until ten o'clock.

She arrived early, and since she was early, she might as well read a little longer.

"Yes, the book emphasizes nonviolent communication, distinguishing between 'observation' and 'judgment,' and avoiding using subjective labels (such as 'you're always late') that could trigger defensiveness in the other person."

"You kept looking at your phone during our date, does that mean you're not interested in me? That's wrong, it's an implicit judgment of the other person..."

"The correct approach is to say: 'I noticed you checked your phone three times tonight. Is something important? Can you tell me?' This can reduce the other person's resistance and pave the way for subsequent conversations."

Shiina Tatsuki's gaze swept across the pages of the book.

"What should I say if Tomori is late? I certainly can't blame him."

"Okay, then let's learn that sentence from the book."

"Tomori, you...you're late. Is there a reason? Would you...would you tell me?"

The girl carefully chose her words, pretending to be Takamatsu Akari in the air. Right now, she was the one who needed to practice.

"Lixi? What are you doing?"

"I'm so glad you're willing to say that to me... Ah!"

Hearing a voice that was all too familiar behind him, Shiina Tatsuki was suddenly startled.

It's Tomori, Tomori is right behind her now.

Quickly concealing the communication manual behind his back, Shiina Tatsuki spoke first, his lips twitching.

"Ah, Tomori, you're here pretty early."

. "

"It should be getting late, right? There are still five minutes until 10 o'clock, which Taki said. And Taki arrived even earlier than me. I'm the one who's late."

Takamatsu blinked, her curious gaze falling on Shiina Tatsuki's hands, which she had been trying to hide.

It seems that Lixi has something she can't show her.

"Did Tomori have breakfast this morning?"

"Ate."

Are there many people on the trams?

"Well, it shouldn't be too crowded, it's a weekend morning."

What other questions should I ask...? Shiina Tatsuki's brain raced as she thought about the topics given in the book she had memorized yesterday.

"Oh, right, the tram's here, Tomori! Let's get on quickly, we'll be able to see the giant pandas eating when we get to the zoo!"

Shiina Tatsuki, fleeing in panic, boarded the train.

"Lixi looks strange today..." Gao Songdeng said, looking puzzled.

But speaking of zoos, I wonder if you can see penguins there?

For some reason, Takamatsu had a strong desire to watch penguins.

"Phew, I finally got away with it, but what's next?"

On the tram, looking at the ever-changing street scene outside the window, Shiina Tatsuki felt a little troubled.

Although she was familiar with the techniques of communication, these words were nothing like what she would normally say.

But if it's for the date to go smoothly, then these words feel necessary.

"Tomori, here's my itinerary for today. We'll arrive at the zoo in forty minutes, and then walk for ten minutes. If we go through the west gate, we can reach the red panda enclosure in fifteen minutes and see them eating."

Shiina Tatsuki flipped through the list written on her phone and explained it to Takamatsu Akari.

Such a well-planned itinerary should be fine, right?

With this arrangement, they can visit the entire zoo in the most efficient way in one day.

"Then we'll have an hour and a half for lunch and rest in the afternoon, and then we'll go see the giant pandas."

"Okay, I understand. I trust Lixi and I'll just do whatever Lixi says."

Takamatsu Akari smiled as she looked at Shiina Tatsuki, who was looking very serious.

"Lixi is really reliable. She's very professional when it comes to planning things out. It was definitely the right decision to hang out with her."

"Ah, it's nothing. It's what I should do. After all, I invited Tomori out, so I have to take responsibility."

Shiina Riki's face flushed.

Volume 2 continues! Chapter 114: Let me be Lixi's only listener!

"Although both aquariums and zoos have animals, no, they really look different."

Walking along the paths in the zoo, Takamatsu looked around, her amber eyes sparkling with curiosity.

These are all land animals she has never seen before.

"I remember that was some kind of giraffe?"

Following Takamatsu Akari's gaze, Shiina Riki looked at the animal the girl was staring at not far away—a tawny giraffe.

At this moment, the giraffe is leisurely approaching the tourists, strolling around the perimeter, allowing the tourists outside the fence to see the texture and details of the giraffe's appearance more clearly.

"Tomori, do you want to see that?" Shiina Tatsuki asked doubtfully.

Although today's main purpose is to see the giant pandas, if Tomori has any other animals he wants to see, we'll accompany him to see them.

Gao Songdeng shook his head and said softly, "No, it's just that I think giraffes have really long necks!"

Moreover, rather than wanting to see giraffes, Takasō Takara seems to have a slight interest in every animal.

She had only seen these animals online before, so now that she could meet them in person, she naturally couldn't help but take a closer look.

Is this Tomori's first time at the zoo?

"No... I've been here with my parents before, but..."

"only?"

"This is my first time here since I started junior high and high school, and it's my first time with Riki." Takamatsu Akari's lips curled up slightly.

Wow, there are so many animals in zoos now! It's completely different from what I remember.

The variety of animals she saw back then was not as great as the ones Lixi brought her to see now. Thanks to Lixi, she has had many more novel experiences today.

"Tomori..."

When the gray-haired girl uttered those seven words, "It's my first time here," Shiina Ritsuki's face immediately turned a little red.

In other words... this experience is unique to her and Tomori.

"Since Tomori hasn't been to the zoo in a long time, we should definitely take her to see more of the animals, right?"

Shiina Riki suddenly realized that the burden on her shoulders had become heavier. Faced with such a sincere Akari, she could not let Akari go in disappointment.

"The museum closes at 5:30 pm. Let's go see the giant pandas when it's over, and spend the rest of the time with Tomori."

Glancing down at the time on his watch, Shiina Tatsuki made his decision without much hesitation.

“Tomori, shall we go inside and take a look? It seems the penguins are open in the indoor enclosure today,” she said softly.

"Penguins? Really?"

Upon hearing Shiina Tatsuki's call, Takamatsu Akari's beautiful eyes brightened.

Aquariums have penguins, and zoos have penguins too. Are the penguins here different from those in aquariums?

"Yes, it's true. Let's go over there quickly."

Tomori's eyes lit up and her happy expression was noticed by Shiina Ritsuki, whose mood also brightened considerably.

Taking Tomori to see things he likes first was definitely the right thing to do. The communication book says that when dating, you should pay attention to the other person's needs, and that's really true.

She will definitely go online and give the book a good review when she gets back.

The two strolled along the path and soon entered the indoor area. After finding the signs, they followed the directions to the first penguin exhibit.

The two women brushed past the cold-proof curtain at the entrance of the penguin enclosure, the low-temperature white mist from the refrigeration system washing over their ankles. Inside the glass walls, six Gentoo penguins shook artificial snowflakes from their feathers on a simulated Antarctic ice shelf, their blue-gray beaks gleaming metallically under the spotlights.

"Lixi, this penguin's name is actually Xixi..."

Takamatsu walked to the front of the booth, gently ran his finger along the glass curtain wall, looked at the name on the label, and said with a surprised expression.

What a coincidence! Li Xi and Xi Xi differ by only one character.

The little penguin named Xixi was walking slowly when, inexplicably, it jumped into the water with an exaggerated motion. After a while, it gradually emerged from the water and slowly moved with the current towards the side closer to the audience.

"Hey, Xixi?"

Shiina Riki was somewhat surprised. Following Takamatsu Akari's steps, she walked to the glass and saw the words "Really Riki" written on the display stand. A sense of humor welled up in her heart.

If there's a Hee-Hee penguin, could there also be a Light-Up penguin?

"Hmm, what is that penguin doing?"

After reviewing the information on the booth, Shiina

Li Xi walked up to Gao Songdeng's side, and then her attention was drawn to Xi Xi's sudden action.

She imitated Takamatsu Akari, squatting down in front of the wall with her, and then observed Xixi doing strange things.

Meanwhile, not far away, the penguin keepers were feeding herrings. The resting and playing penguins suddenly jumped onto the ice floes and waddled toward the keepers, but Xixi didn't move.

"Hmm, is he a loner?" Shiina Tatsuki wondered.

"Isn't Xixi hungry?" Gao Songdeng asked.

"Not hungry?"

"Well, because everyone went to eat herring... but Xixi didn't."

In Gao Songdeng's eyes, Penguin Xixi was simply not hungry, which is why she didn't go over to eat.

Seeing that the girl in front of her reacted in a completely different way, Shiina Ritsuki didn't know what to say for a moment. It has to be said that she and Tomori do have different perspectives on things and problems.

"Then Tomori, would you... would you like to hear my thoughts?" After much deliberation, Shiina Tatsuki decided she should speak her mind. She wondered how Tomori would interpret her thoughts.

"Yes, of course... I'm glad Lixi is willing to talk about it!"

"I also want to know what Lixi really thinks!"

Takamatsu Takayuki approached Shiina Tatsuki, and her warm aura seemed especially special in the slightly chilly venue.

"Thank you, Tomori."

With Takamatsu Akari's adorable face so close, Shiina Tatsuki's Adam's apple bobbed rapidly, and a burning sensation crept up her earlobes and cheeks, while a hazy sense of shyness lingered in her heart.

She and Tomori are really close now.

"I think Xixi is very unsociable."

"The other penguins all stay together in groups, but it is different from the others. Even we humans can see at a glance that it is separated from the penguin group."

"Perhaps, Xixi doesn't like that group."

If Shiina Tatsuki remembers correctly, penguins are social animals that live in groups, and they are basically together whether they are eating or moving around.

But this penguin named XiXi is different; it is quite unconventional.

It must have had some stories with those penguin colonies that are unknown to humans.

"If that's the case, then Lixi's observation is correct."

Listening to the black-haired girl's thoughtful remarks, Takamatsu Akari turned her head and pondered for a while.

Even so, why would Xixi do this? She still didn't quite understand.

"Perhaps, Xixi wants to be seen by everyone?"
