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

"Then I'll observe and apply the needles as I go."

China followed closely behind Shoko, looking at Shoko's hairstyle while trying to tie it herself.

First, take a section of hair from behind your ear and braid it starting from the root.

But Xiangzi walks very fast, and it's not easy to keep up with her while also keeping your braids tied tightly.

But seeing Chika's unusual behavior beside him, he couldn't help but stop and try to earnestly advise her:

"There aren't many things to remember about this hairstyle. Please sit still in the chair and get it done. Don't do anything unnecessary."

China lowered the hairband and comb from one side of her head: "I want to perfectly replicate every detail of this hairstyle."

"Is it because of obsessive-compulsive disorder?" Xiangzi asked.

"It's because Xiao Xiang doesn't want to get close to Xiao Deng when he's controlling the game character. I'm afraid Xiao Deng will feel uncomfortable, so I thought... I'd temporarily act as Xiao Xiang and help Xiao Deng."

"..."

The compulsive psychology that Shoko suspected was the near-identical hairstyle that China pursued when imitating others.

The answer was indeed obsessive-compulsive disorder, but it was China's obsession with reconciling with Akari and Shoko.

Here we go again. If things continue like this, and we don't cooperate and get her hair cut, will she lose her temper and start making a scene again?

Xiangzi noticed that China's friend Aine had also followed, looking nervous, as if she also knew what China's restless behavior meant.

If this continues, it's like boiling soup; if the heat isn't turned off in time, it will overflow the pot.

Ai-yin should say that she wanted to avoid that kind of situation from happening.

To be honest, Shoko acknowledged that Aine had been able to get along with Chinatsu for so many years, and that Aine was kind and patient.

Seemingly out of consideration for Aine, Shoko sighed and took the comb and hairband from China's hand.

Then, just as I skillfully styled my own hair every day, I combed China's hair and braided three sections on each side behind her ears, securing them with hair ties.

Then, leaning over to look at China's left and right sides, and confirming that the hair was tied symmetrically on both sides, he intended to nod in satisfaction after finishing the doll's hair, but stopped himself from doing so and instead asked in a question:

"Is this so difficult? Why are you tying my hair while chasing after me?"

After China changed her hairstyle, Aine and Akari on the other side almost said in unison, "It looks like..."

At this point, the only things that make it easy to distinguish the two are the details on their bangs and the ends of their hair, as well as the mole under China's right eye.

Qiannai didn't answer, but instead asked, "What was Xiaoxiang looking at just now?"

She had just noticed that when Xiangzi walked out of the classroom, he glanced at the corridor outside, hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely walked towards the stairwell.

Perhaps busy people like Xiangzi, who pursue efficiency, would occasionally stop to take a look at the scenery, but Qiannai was just asking casually.

As Xiangzi remained silent, Deng glanced towards the school gate and said with slight surprise, "Su Shi..."

"Has Su Shi arrived yet?"

Ai Yin took out her glasses from the pocket next to her collar and put them on, then looked out at the school gate.

"It really is Su Shi! Is she here to hang out with us? Xiao Deng, did Su Shi message you?"

"No...no." Deng checked his phone to confirm.

"So, you mean you're looking for them?" Aine slowly looked at the two of them.

When Aine last met Suze, she noticed that Suze's attitude towards China was unusual.

However, since it was just my own speculation, I didn't mention it to China, in case I had misunderstood.

Xiangzi stared thoughtfully at the person who was almost identical to him.

But soon she abandoned this somewhat weak and unreliable idea and walked towards the stairwell.

Chika followed along the whole time, and at the same time used concealer to remove the mole under her right eye.

When Aine and Akari tried to catch up, China turned around and gestured to them with her hand, signaling them to stop.

"Little Qiannai...Little Xiang..."

The lamp's pace gradually slowed down, and then it stopped.

She was somewhat worried, but the situation was shrouded in mystery, and she didn't know what to do.

Ai-yin only had a vague understanding, so she didn't chase after them and could only look at the lamp next to her.

"Little lamp."

Aine patted the head of the lamp and pointed to Chinatsu's seat, where the handheld game console and backpack on the table had not yet been taken away.

"She'll come back to pick it up later, we'll ask her what's going on then."

……

"what are you up to?"

Upon arriving at the stairwell, Xiangzi frowned.

"Weren't you supposed to be helping the lamp? Why are you still following me?"

"Are you going to find Su Shi?" China asked, still responding with a question, her smile beaming.

Xiangzi believes that Qiannai in her current state is probably beyond the comprehension of ordinary people's logic; she may simply be doing whatever makes her happy.

But what would happen if I let her walk out of the school gate with me like this?

Xiangzi intends to sever ties with Su Shi, hoping she will stop wasting her energy looking for him.

Now, in her manic state, China might be planning a prank, constantly saying that she is Xiangzi and saying the opposite of what Xiangzi says.

Just as she had been constantly trying to bring herself and Akari together, now Chika was also trying to prevent herself from severing ties with Souse. That was Shoko's guess.

It's always the same; every time, this guy stops me from cutting ties with the past.

Does she not want people she knows to have bad relationships with each other?

wrong……

Xiangzi then considered that if Qiannai really wanted to do this, it would be on the premise that she knew she wanted to sever ties with Sushi.

If she pretends to tell China that she and Suze are actually very close and that she went to see Suze this time to hang out with her, China will stop her from doing so, right?

But if she does that, she'll ask, "You're both members of Crychic, you're so close to Su Shi, why are you so cold to Deng?" and become even more determined to bring herself and Deng together.

So Xiangzi simply told the truth.

"As you saw, Su Shi took leave in advance to wait for me at the school gate so that Crychic could be rebuilt."

"But do you think I still have time to stay in this band that I'm just dabbling in?"

"I still have to work and study to earn scholarships in order to support myself!"

"But you, just to make yourself feel better, have repeatedly stopped me!"

To avoid others hearing his situation, Xiangzi spoke softly, but his tone gradually became more intense due to his emotions.

She desperately hoped that after telling the truth, China would be more obedient and let reason overcome her illness, instead of starting to shout again, "So what if I'm doing this for myself!"

However, she knew that this was an illness, not just a simple case of emotional fluctuations, so she could only offer hope and did not continue to criticize.

After speaking, seeing that Chika remained unmoved, Shoko shook his head from side to side.

"I wish you a speedy recovery."

Xiangzi continued walking downstairs, but Qiannai grabbed his hand again.

Sure enough, the hope was still too slim... Xiangzi thought to himself.

But Qian Nai solemnly said, "I will help you deal with Su Shi."

Chapter 45 I am Toyokawa Shoko

Help deal with Su Shi?

"Please stop joking. Aren't you only thinking about making peace with the people in your life? Why would you think about helping me sever ties with Su Shi?"

Even if China suddenly lost her obsession with reconciliation, Shoko still didn't trust someone with such volatile emotions to remain calm and composed, concealing her bankruptcy, and then tell Sose, "Don't come looking for me."

She doesn't need China's help.

"I don't want to sever ties," China declared.

"Then please don't say any more."

Xiangzi tried to let go of Qianna's hand, but found that she gripped it even tighter and said more earnestly:

"I'm here to make you repay a favor."

"..."

Xiangzi's resistant expression softened slightly, after all, she herself had said that the drugstore had helped her get rid of the harassment last time, which was a favor.

"What does it have to do with me repaying a favor and helping me deal with Su Shi?"

"Because I want to avoid Su Shi, I will pretend to be you to avoid her."

China emphasized the word "you".

"Varied……"

When Xiangzi heard Qiannai's words, he was stunned for a moment.

She didn't know what had happened between China and Su Shi in the past, but that wasn't something she needed to worry about.

All she needed to realize was that Su Shi might not be looking for her; she might be looking for Qian Nai.

It's also possible that she would approach both, but once she showed that she was ignoring or refusing, she would go to the other one.

I was only thinking from my own perspective and didn't consider this point.

As for China, she had no idea what had happened between her and Su Shi in the past.

The reason he planned to impersonate Xiangzi was not to avoid her, but to make it easier to understand Su Shi so that he could act like a friend he had just met again when they met next.

At this point, Xiangzi's initial complete rejection of Qiannai's proposal turned into a negotiation based on repaying a favor.

She originally wanted to postpone repaying the favor again, and find a less bizarre opportunity instead.

But if we can repay the favor now, we won't have to worry about Qian Nai anymore.

Moreover, if I don't comply with China's approach, I'll probably just continue to be bothered by her.

"I don't expect your disguise to be convincing, but please don't overdo it."

If Chika dressed up as Shoko and went to Su Shi to ask for a sugar daddy or something, Shoko would never accept.

"And, don't intensify her feelings for you... no, for me."

"Otherwise, if she sees me again and is very disappointed, I will have no choice but to tell her that you dressed up as me."

"Understood! I will try my best to maintain my sister's image. Please wait a moment."

China held up her index and middle fingers to her forehead and excitedly went back to the classroom to get her backpack.

"Xiang..."

If it weren't for the way China walks with such confidence, I almost would have called her by the wrong name again.

"China, why are you dressed up as your older sister?"

Ai Yin couldn't help but ask, considering the situation of Su Shi waiting at the school gate, she felt that the connections between these things were like crisscrossing ravines.

Chika put her index finger in front of her mouth and made a wink.

"It's a personal secret plan, so please play games with Ai-yin and Xiao-deng for a while before leaving school~"

As Ai Yin expected, she couldn't get any information out of the answer.

She had actually guessed a direction, but she didn't dare to think about it too deeply.

That was Su Shi's friendship with China before, which was based on appearance.

Chika only gains Su Shi's favor by dressing up like Shoko.

Otherwise, you'll be subjected to harsh words or even have your friend list deleted.

This also aligns with the possessiveness that Suze previously displayed towards China.

Considering China's dependence on her friends, she will definitely try her best to reconcile.

Let's assume that Su Shi came to the school gate this time not only to wait for Xiangzi, but also to give Qian Nai another chance...
