Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

But that smile made Xiangzi feel that Qiannai was even more mysterious and unpredictable, and he always felt that she was planning something.

"Sigh~"

The sound came from the back seat of Xiangzi's car again.

I glanced back slightly.

The other person was staring at their phone, looking worried.

What news could have made her make that expression?

If she was sent by someone from the family's shadowy side to spy on me, what kind of mission has the family given her that is difficult for her?

Is the goal to completely eradicate the problem and prevent future troubles...?

Thinking of this, Xiangzi felt uneasy.

So he wrote a note, passed it to the back, and decided to ask for clarification.

At this moment, China was staring at the message sent by Aine, feeling troubled.

"China, I never thought I'd be in the same class as your childhood friend. I'm sitting in the seat behind her now."

"I feel that her hobbies are very unique. She has a row of beautiful stones on the table."

"Hey, China, does she have any other hobbies?"

...Surprisingly, Aine was indeed assigned to the same class as Akari.

In that case, the lies told to Aine could be exposed at any time...

Why don't we just confess to Aine now?

During that manic episode, Aine didn't look down on China; instead, she praised China's spoken language.

This makes Aine a gentle and forgiving person in China's eyes.

Explain to Aine that you lied about Akari being your friend to take her feelings into consideration. I hope you can forgive me.

Just as China was about to type, a note was passed to her from the row in front of her.

"What does the family want you to do?" the note read.

"What?"

China was completely bewildered, having no idea about Xiangzi's background or what changes he had experienced.

But the word "family" made China feel its weight, a weight of power.

If the original owner's background is related to Xiangzi...

Suddenly, a force surged through China's body, urging her not to reveal herself, not to say things like, "I don't really know about our relationship."

Instead, she continues to pretend to be the "sister who has leverage over him" in order to explore her own and Xiangzi's past.

This driving force is called mania.

"My family told me to shine in the band."

China wrote this on the back of the note and returned it to the front row.

"Deng is also very interested in astronomy. When we were little, we used to stargaze together in the wilderness."

And this is how she replied on the Aiyin chat page.

……

"Takamatsu-kun, do you like astronomy?"

Sitting behind Deng, Ai Yin asked knowingly, intending to give Deng a little surprise.

"Who... said that?"

The lamp turned its head and asked hesitantly.

"A friend of yours told me this. She's in the next class right now. Go find her after class."

"!"

The lamp showed an expression of extreme surprise.

??Xiao...Xiaoxiang?

Chapter 13 Untouchable

On graduation day, Gao Songdeng was puzzled by something.

Why didn't she shed tears like the other students?

Is it because I'm too cold-hearted...?

As a human being, is there something she lacks?

Later, she found out.

She was missing something important... something so important that parting from it would bring tears to her eyes.

She had owned this not long ago.

A band called Crychic.

Someone formed this band for her, and then personally ended the band.

...Should we say that the band was ended by that person himself?

She said the band could still practice and continue playing even without her... I think that's what she said.

But without her... without Xiao Xiang's words...

……

half year ago.

"Was this a photo of the full moon taken by Xiaodeng? That's amazing!"

The bedroom floor, which wasn't very bright, was covered with photos, all taken by the lamp using a video camera connected to a telescope.

The light is taken once every full moon.

Each photo taken looks pretty much the same, but Deng says, "When you collect all these photos of the full moon together, you can feel the accumulation of the moon's years."

As these photos piled up heavier and heavier, the lamp could feel the weight of the accumulation.

"The students said that the accumulation of history is what makes it rich and profound. Without civilization, even the longest period of time is just an empty void,"

Gao Songdeng picked up a photo of a full moon, her expression slightly bewildered.

"Then why use the bright moon to express your longing?"

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head, refuting the students' claims, and encouraged them:

"Little Lamp, you have an extraordinary way of thinking!"

"Don't doubt or deny your own way of thinking; it's a quality that makes you unique."

"Who knows, you might become an excellent astronomer in the future."

……

just now.

"Because of their unique qualities, do they also lack...a deeper understanding of emotions than others?"

Takamatsu was fiddling with the stones he had collected yesterday on the table; they had already been cleaned.

Among them, the Yuhua stone that was originally intended for China was placed in the very center.

When most of the students had arrived, a new face entered through the main entrance of the classroom.

"Classmates, this is a new student who has transferred to our class. Chihaya, please introduce yourself," the teacher invited.

Chihaya Aine stood on the podium, smiling, and speaking calmly and methodically. After giving her self-introduction, she was seated behind Takamatsu Akari.

"Hello."

When Chihaya Aine passed by Takamatsu Akira, she saw Akira admiring the pebbles.

She has a good memory and remembers that Akari handed something to China yesterday, but she couldn't see it clearly because she is nearsighted.

After greeting them, the lamp seemed to run away as if it were shy...

Was this the stone that was supposed to be given as a gift?

Just as Ai Yin was wondering, Deng suddenly looked up, and Ai Yin quickly straightened up and waved her hands.

Ah... Please guide me.

Then, I sat in the back row of the lamp.

Is she... a friend who transferred schools with Chinatsu?

Deng tried hard to suppress his introverted emotions, turned around, and shyly greeted them.

"Hello, I am Takamatsu Akari... Nice to meet you."

The lamp didn't ask anything else, but turned back and continued to fiddle with the stone on the table.

Seeing that the lamp seemed a little quiet, Ai-yin didn't immediately continue the conversation, but instead tried to use something else to further bridge the social distance.

In other words, the information Aine learned was about Toki's friend, Toyohashi Chinatsu.

This is a way to get closer to a relationship by being a "friend of a friend".

There are many ways to use this approach. For example, you can use the same friend as a topic to see what common understandings you have about this friend, thereby bridging the gap between you.

Not long ago, Aine and Chinatsu reached a cooperation agreement to "pretend to be friends who have known each other for a long time". Although they don't know each other very well, as long as Akari says what kind of person Chinatsu is, Aine can just agree with Akari by saying "Oh yeah, I think so too", pretending to have a great consensus, and thus get closer to Akari.

However, Chika mentioned that there were some things from her past that she didn't want Akari to talk about, and since Akari didn't seem to be very talkative, Aine rejected this plan.

So she switched to the second plan: the three of them would chat together after class.

So he told Chika that he would bring Takamatsu Akari to her place after class.

And while he was at it, he asked Chika what the lantern liked, as a surprise for the lantern.

"Takamatsu-kun, do you like astronomy?"

"Who... said that..."

"A friend of yours told me this. She's in the next class right now. Go find her after class."

"!"

Aine looked utterly surprised when she saw the light. A moment later, a new message popped up on her phone from Chinatsu, which Aine relayed:

She said she was coming to visit our class.

Upon hearing the news, Deng, who had just recovered from his surprise, gradually revealed a subtle joy.

This was somewhat unexpected for Ai Yin.

Was she surprised that her friend was in the next class? China will probably tell Akari, her friend, which class she'll be transferring to, right?

Or is it something related to radio waves? Slightly radio-like sounds can be analyzed based on experience, but this is too difficult.

Or perhaps, when China ran into Akari that day, she deliberately said that she had failed her transfer interview, and Akari ran away sadly.

Why was she so surprised today when she told Deng Hou that "your friend is in the next class"?

China wouldn't stoop to such a petty trick...

Since it was her first class after transferring schools, Aine didn't want to ruin the teacher's first impression of her, so she stopped chatting after the teacher started the formal lesson.

At this moment, Deng stopped playing with the pebbles and started rummaging through the drawer for a notebook.

I searched through the notebooks that Hua Xiangzi and I used to share, where we would doodle, write poems, and compose lyrics together.

"..."

could not find it.

The light came on; it had been placed in the astronomy club.

Who knows, you might become an excellent astronomer someday!

This sentence flashed through my mind again.
