They are still close to me today despite their negative feelings

An Yu reminded him repeatedly.

I nodded, picked up the chocolate with a napkin in front of her, covered my mouth with my left hand, and then put it in my mouth with my right hand.

After I showed my two empty hands, An Yu turned black and white.

"Captain, it's safely stored in my stomach!"

"..."

I poked the petrified An Yu.

She looked at me with a resentful expression.

"If you weren't Ning Ruoyu, I would definitely break off all ties with you!!"

That sounds grammatically incorrect, doesn't it?

However, seeing the slight tears welling up in An Yu's eyes, I realized that she was truly heartbroken.

"Why did you suddenly eat it without my permission? You could have told me, and I would have let you have it..."

An Yu lowered his head in frustration and muttered to himself softly. Hu Dan, standing next to him, looked at him with growing hostility.

“…Brother.” “Brother Ruoyu…”

The way the two middle school students looked at me made me a little embarrassed.

"...Just kidding, just kidding, it's a magic trick. I wouldn't be so greedy as to eat one of your chocolates, would I?"

I quickly took the chocolate from my left hand, which was wrapped in a napkin, and handed it to the heartbroken man.

"You should be able to see how I hid it from your position, so at least say something to defend me."

I looked at Chen Di sitting next to me and mouthed something to him for help.

He crossed his arms and looked at me with a smile but said nothing.

"...I'll make you ginger ale. Limited edition."

Chen Di smiled with satisfaction and coughed twice.

"As expected, Ning Ruoyu is just an ordinary high school boy. He still can't help but tease cute girls~"

What else could this be but the innate Cowherd's Sacred Body?! Genius!

An Yu immediately raised his face, his eyes sparkling.

"...If that's the case, then there's really nothing we can do. And the chocolate wasn't eaten, hehe~ Cute girl, huh~"

"It's okay, the chocolate is for you, Ning Ruoyu, because I'm kind, generous, and a very good person!"

Surely such words should never be said by the person in question?

I really don't know how someone can have such a wide range of expressions. Just a moment ago they were looking wronged, and now they're all smug.

"...If we don't go into the gift shop soon, the amusement park will have to close down. Let's go."

Finally, it was Hu Dan who suggested it, and the group of girls finally entered the store.

I slumped in my seat, lazily took a sip of my cola, and let out a long sigh.

"The atmosphere of an amusement park really can influence people. Why did I have to be so impulsive?"

"Indeed."

"Would you please offer a rebuttal here, handsome sir?"

"Then I have to remind you, the rate at which women turned their heads and stole glances at you on the street today is far higher than the average for handsome men."

"You can sense that? Has it become a habit, a skill?"

Chen Di smiled but didn't say anything.

She's always being watched and peeped at, so she's become passive in this situation. It's truly enviable.

Incidentally, in my past life, I would deliberately dress rather plainly in my daily life, partly to avoid female clients and partly to distance myself from my professional life. Therefore, I didn't mention Chen Di's ability to automatically compile statistics.

"But being able to tease An Yu without any ulterior motive, I feel like you've changed a lot."

Chen Di's words left me slightly speechless.

"Should I say he looks more like a high school boy or more like an ordinary person? If you have the chance, could you perform a magic trick like this for me next time?"

"My principle is to never use magic tricks to amuse boys!"

Actually, I don't know many magic tricks; most of them are sleight-of-hand techniques that I learned while practicing cheating at poker.

"That's really a pity."

Chen Di stretched and looked up at the moonlight on the horizon.

"Speaking of which—I really should talk to you about Qiu Luxi's matter."

[Next chapter preview: "...It seems like no one is home at your house today."]

"...So you need to put it above Ning Ruoyu's. Because the top spot is reserved for An Yu."

"Oh, I see. I didn't expect that."

They probably broke up.

The president glanced at me, his expression one of utter astonishment.

Chapter 72: Chairman, please let me explain.

"Well! I had a lot of fun today, and I hope we can get together again sometime!!!"

"The Literary Society squad is disbanding today!"

"Yo!!!"

An Yu happily stretched out her hand in front of everyone. Hu Dan, who was standing to the side, gave a wry smile and also stretched out her hand.

Ning Ruoxin and Ling Chuqing, realizing what was happening, quickly reached out as well.

Qiu Luxi tilted her head slightly. "What does this mean?"

"Cheering? Celebrating? Oh well, you can do this whenever you're happy!" An Yu herself didn't seem to understand, but she still chuckled, "I've wanted to try this with my friends for a long time. But there haven't been any big events! I didn't have a chance to try it during the last summer camping trip. Today is perfect!"

"Oh--"

Qiu Luxi nodded and suddenly grabbed my right hand, which was still watching the commotion.

"?!" "??" "!!"

Suddenly, I felt three chilling gazes fixed on my hands.

But Qiu Luxi seemed completely unaware, and simply hid her hand under mine.

"You want to play too, right?"

She said as a matter of course.

"...Although Ning Ruoyu will definitely participate, I suddenly feel that as the initiator, I should put my hand on top."

What kind of nonsense is An Yu spouting? Has her logic died?

"Yeah."

Qiu Luxi nodded and said to Chen Di beside her.

"...So you need to put it above Ning Ruoyu's. Because the top spot is reserved for An Yu."

"????"

Chen Di gave a wry smile under Qiu Luxi's direct and sincere gaze and An Yu's incredulous look, and chose to put his hand at the bottom.

"You owe me two ginger ale," he whispered as he leaned closer to me.

Why! ?

I stared incredulously at this professional extortionist, and An Yu immediately pressed his hand firmly onto the back of my hand.

...Finally, in the very end, we brought this long amusement park trip to a close in a very disunited manner.

It should be so.

"……what?"

I felt an unprecedented surge of anger as I listened to the woman's voice on the phone.

"So I'm really sorry~ After all, they need to go to a printing factory to print the pages for the school magazine, and the printing factory happens to be in a neighboring city~"

"Does our Lucheng City no longer have printing plants?" I laughed in exasperation.

"It's just a matter of cost. You don't need to worry about these things. As a support member, I can handle it all by myself." Ling Qingxue said in a flippant tone on the other end of the phone, "Did you guys have fun today? Did Chu Qing cause you any trouble?"

"How dare you ask others if they've caused any trouble?"

"Oh dear, that's true. Anyway, I'm so sorry, my Chuqing will have to be looked after by you guys for the night~ Please take care of her, Ning Ruoyu~"

Ling Qingxue said in an annoyed tone, then hung up the phone.

"?"

Seeing me looking at her while on the phone, Ling Chuqing twirled her hair with her fingers, a little embarrassed.

"...It seems like no one is home at your house today."

She stopped curling her hair and stood there, stunned.

"Eh?"

"what?"

"what?"

The last two sounds came from Ning Ruoxin and An Yu, who returned after being turned away.

Qiu Luxi raised her head and looked at me with indifferent eyes.

"As expected, she's a womanizer, Big Lolita Meow."

Although I spoke very softly, my hearing is excellent.

……

My dear sister was taking a shower in the bathroom, while her friend, whose hair was still warm from her shower, and I were quietly playing on our phones on the sofa.

Because the girl sitting next to me is 159cm tall, much taller than my 155cm sister, she can only wear an unsuitable white men's shirt, also known as a boyfriend shirt.

My poor clothes never imagined that one day they would be used to entertain a magnanimous woman. Everything else was fine, even a little too big, except for the chest area, which seemed to be under a lot of weight.

Don't lose, shirt! If you lose, I'm doomed!!

—If this scene isn't from an 18+ Korean comic, then it can only be described as the ultimate torture.

In particular, I could occasionally feel the gazes that were being secretly observed from the next seat.

This made it so that I couldn't even finish reading Ping Qiuyue's latest serialized novel, "Police Embroidery Years".

Well, at this very moment, Ping Qiuyue is probably next door biting her pen and typing away.

Thinking about it this way makes it much more balanced—the older sister next door spends holidays alone in her room writing; you all shouldn't end up like her when you grow up.jpg

"...You seem very nervous all day."

The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Ling Chuqing had been staring at me in a daze for too long this time, so I couldn't help but remind her.

"!"

Ling Chuqing subconsciously sat up straight, which reminded people of the first time they met her on the basketball court. Although she wasn't wearing her signature blue headband now, her soft hair was draped over her shoulders.

"Feel sorry……"

"Is this still the same cheerful junior I know? Why does she seem a bit timid and hesitant when she speaks now? You can't 'make Xiaoxin happy' like this, persistent Xiaoqing."

Ling Chuqing's eyes gleamed slightly, like stars in the night sky.

"Brother Ruoyu, do you still remember what I said back then...?"

It's kind of a professional habit, I guess. Women are emotional creatures, and remembering small details often makes them trust you more—provided, of course, that you're not being obsequious (I'll emphasize this again).

"I still have a pretty good impression of that energetic little girl from back then."

“It’s your encouragement that makes me so energetic,” Ling Chuqing said softly. “I’m actually quite easily frustrated.”
