They are still close to me today despite their negative feelings

The monkeys in the basketball team are quite interesting.

As an intern manager, while I was taking good care of them, I noticed those intense gazes.

After so much time has passed, I feel there's no need to play with that first monkey anymore.

I'm thinking of accepting the basketball team captain's confession. On one hand, it'll get rid of that monkey (a nickname for a guy), and on the other hand—if I accept the captain's confession, I can enjoy seeing the other guys in the basketball team suffer.

And there's also the manager who used to have a crush on the captain... ah, my senior!

What will it reveal?

What about that sad yet strong expression?

What kind of cute blessings will you send?

I can't wait!

That first monkey was really annoying.

I didn't want to play anymore, but he kept pestering me.

Let's make some preparations first.

They discovered a new toy. Their eyes held a look of hard work and stubbornness, yet desperately burying their loneliness deep within.

I'm really tempted!

This is currently my favorite toy. I'll play with it for a long time!

[February 3, 20**, Sunny]

The toy is being disobedient.

This is really troubling.

Since that's the case, let's do some punishment~ We need to make the toys behave like toys~

It is said that the gluttonous idiot warned the monkey in public.

If the warning was from a gluttonous idiot, the monkey's situation might be even more difficult.

What a pity.

I kept my promise, didn't I? This kind of thing can only be attributed to that monkey reaping what it sowed.

But that's not important~

Those eyes in high school, brimming with desire yet desperately trying to conceal it compared to those in middle school?

That's so interesting!

[June 10, 20**, rain turning cloudy]

The gluttonous idiot and that monkey, could it be just a rumor?

No matter what, I couldn't suppress the desire in my heart.

Whether it's a friend or someone else, if you snatch that monkey from the hands of that greedy idiot...

Although it was meaningless, it at least made that idiot feel pain, right?

To be honest, I don't know if greeting someone today was right or wrong.

-

But no matter what, everyone wants to see it!

Seeing the so-called first step~ the so-called cute girl~

Do you show a sad expression when a friend is taken away from you?

[July 10, 20**, Sunny, Very Sunny]

I don't understand what it means to like.

To this day, I still don't realize that I've ever liked anyone.

But when that person breaks through the defense and passes the ball into the air on the basketball court.

That look in my eyes, which I had never seen before, a look that stirred both longing and reluctance.

I suddenly felt like I had forgotten how to breathe.

My mind is in turmoil, I'm not going to write anymore.

[Next chapter preview: What is this guy saying?]

"Then I'll talk to her about it."

However, the message I just received has made me change my mind.

If it's fun, then going to participate isn't out of the question.

Author's Note: There will be a thank-you chapter later tonight after the featured recommendation (although the featured recommendation data barely increased, haha).

Half of the problems in Volume Two have been revealed.

—Speaking of which, Ling Qingxue is an antagonist, right? Nobody ever considered her as one of the female leads?

Interlude: The Diary of a Yandere Girl

[July 16, 20**, cloudy turning to rain]

I'm tired of playing in Ma Hang.

I've been thinking about whether I should find a new toy.

And that idiot Ling Chuqing has caused me trouble again.

On rainy days like this, my mother and that man will eventually ask me to bring her an umbrella, right?

I'm too lazy to deal with this, so I'm going to leave home before they urge me. That way, that girl will only have the option of getting soaked in the rain or waiting—those two are always selfish, only thinking of themselves, and only want me to be a good older sister.

As I was thinking this, I saw Ling Chuqing's new message.

"I ran into Brother Lü Ning while I was looking for Ah Xin!"

……what?

What is this guy talking about?

Unable to contain my inner turmoil, I grabbed two umbrellas and walked over.

The boy was indeed there in the coffee shop.

I could feel my heart pounding wildly in my chest. This feeling is awful.

...I have to do something.

He can be a nice new toy, but I don't have any special feelings for toys.

With that thought in mind, I sent the message to that cheeky monkey who was nearby.

First, let the cheeky monkey act as a catalyst. It's just an insignificant monkey anyway; what I need is a gentle but vulnerable figure who's constantly being bothered.

Weakness is important, isn't it? Those men will fall for those fragile flowers in the rain, fantasizing that they are great heroes who shelter them from the wind and rain.

I've made up my mind. I'm going to make this boy completely infatuated with me. Then I'll destroy him in front of Ling Chuqing.

Just thinking about Ling Chuqing's usual appearance, her face contorted in pain from her beloved toy being destroyed—makes me feel… huff… huff…

However, just in case, I also sent another message to the basketball team.

Same words, same attitude. After all, that annoying little monkey is persistent, and Lü Ning might not be able to get rid of it. If it keeps pestering her, she'll have to ask the basketball team's hero for help!

A hero who stands up for his loved ones and makes silent sacrifices—the role I've given you is so kind and endearing!

Oh right, right, I also need to get rid of that annoying Ling Chuqing first... About that...

What is that? Saying those kinds of things and doing those kinds of things, yet making that kind of expression.

That's infuriating.

He looked no different from any other boring man, but the way he looked at me didn't even register me.

I'm not mistaken.

No matter how gentle and considerate the boy named Lü Ning was, he never showed me any desire in his eyes.

I hate it! ...

When he was chatting with Ling Chuqing in the coffee shop, his expression was completely different. Yet even when I was so close, he didn't waver at all.

That bastard, what did he think he refused? I closed my eyes!

I was willing to reluctantly give him my first taste of love, but he pushed me into a puddle instead!

What's with all this talk about protecting me? Does he really think I'm stupid?

I must get my revenge on this man.

[August 2nd, 20**, Sunny]

I'm tired of playing basketball too.

They're all a bunch of idiots driven by lust, and they have to put up with the smell of sweat every day while pretending to care.

so boring.

I glanced at the ingratiating gazes around me. Especially Ma Hang, who seemed to sense my perfunctory attitude lately and appeared increasingly cautious.

"Xiaoxue, we're planning a camping trip in August, as we always do. You'll be going too, right?"

Last time I went there, I deliberately acted intimately with senior student Ma Hang in front of the manager, and even took a walk outside alone in the evening to have a heart-to-heart talk.

But now that the senior students have all left the club, and there's nothing new to do, why should I respond to those stares?

The basketball team under Ma Hang's management is so boring. They're clearly full of desire, but nobody really takes any real action against me. I find it very uninteresting.

"I'm sorry, my parents are both on a trip, and I'm worried about Chuqing being home alone."

"It's okay! We'll talk to the counselor. You can take Chuqing with you!"

Pshaw, men who keep pestering you are the most boring.

I brought Ling Chuqing to watch your matches before, hoping to see if I could make that clueless little sister fall for one of you. But you useless guys lost so embarrassingly, and she even got to know him.

Did you really think I'd bring that idiot over? You can just keep fantasizing about sisterly love in your rooms and secretly generate your own energy. Don't think I'll reward you with any side dishes.

"Then I'll talk to her about it."

Don't get your hopes up. I'm just delaying my rejection. Hearing this, he showed a happy expression. What a cheap and disgusting man.

However, the message I just received has made me change my mind.

If it's fun, then going to participate isn't out of the question.

And if that gluttonous idiot were to come—as his childhood friend, would he go over?

Forget it, whether he comes or not is none of my business.

But since I've decided to go, I can't let myself get bored!

[August 5th, 20**, Sunny]

Why is this happening?

No, it shouldn't.

I was clearly prepared. I even saw Ling Chuqing and Ning Ruoyu walk into the deep forest with my own eyes.

Ning Ruoyu will be burdened with doubt and hatred, falling into the deeper reaches of hell. Ling Chuqing will also be plagued by rumors and tormented by fear, her cheerfulness and sunshine in her eyes will be completely worn away, and she will no longer be able to maintain that repulsive innocence.

All of this should have happened.

Why, why did it have to be him carrying Ling Chuqing back in the end?
