“Because, it’s impossible for me and Lin Yan.” Lin Yan understood why Chizuru Himawari said that, but he didn’t refute it. In fact, it was true. Lin Yan would leave this world sooner or later, and never return. There would be no more Lin Yan. Once he left, it meant that they would never be together again. Chizuru Himawari strode forward and said, “Let’s go!”
Onoya An said sullenly.
"I feel a little apologetic, Mr. Lin Yan."
"It's ok."
In classrooms.
Rena Kari saw Chizuru Himeragi enter the classroom immediately. They greeted each other, and Rena Kari returned the hair tie to Chizuru Himeragi.
"Here's your hair tie from last time. Thank you."
“Oh, right! I’m really bothered without it. I don’t have a spare hair tie, so I’m using a rubber band to tie my hair today,” said Chizuru Himera as she took the hair tie.
"What?! You don't have a single hair tie at home?!"
Reina Kari was quite surprised. Most girls with long hair would have all sorts of hair ties, and she had dozens of hair ties of various colors and styles at home.
It's really strange that Chizuru Hitsugaya didn't have a single replacement.
“Well, maybe that’s just right!” Tamaki Moka said.
“Yes!” Reina Kari took out a small gift bag. It was a cute little gift bag that no girl could resist.
"Come."
"?" Chizuru looked on in confusion, wondering what Reina Kariyuu meant. Was this a gift for her? If it was a gift, it would be the first time Chizuru had received one from a friend. But what if it was a misunderstanding?
No way.
Chizuru Himeragi's feelings were very complicated.
"Hurry up and take it! This is what Mengxiang and I bought yesterday."
"A gift for you. How should I put it, maybe as a thank you? We were discussing doing something for you. Open it, open it quickly."
"Use it if you like!" Reina Kari said to Chizuru Hishiro with a smile. "That would make me very happy."

It was a very delicate gift bag, revealing a girlish heart. When you opened it, you found a hair tie with an Awkward Cat decoration, which is perfect for Chizuru Hida, who often uses Awkward Cat designs. It was a very thoughtful gift.
“Look, isn’t there an awkward cat character? You often use that sticker too. I told Rena that the character looked a lot like you, and that’s how we found this.”
Exactly the same, adorably awkward cat.
Yu Lai Moka explained from the side, while Himejiro Chizuru stared intently at the hair tie, remaining silent without uttering a word.
This left Yu Lai Mengxiang somewhat bewildered.
She couldn't fathom Chizuru's thoughts at all, since she remained expressionless throughout, showing neither disappointment, unhappiness, nor joy, making it difficult to guess what was going on.
"Do you not like it?"
"No." A blush crept across Chizuru's face. This was the first time she'd received a gift from a friend. Having constantly transferred schools, she practically had no friends, let alone friends to give gifts to. She remembered her first transfer; she'd tried to integrate into the new group, but before she could, she had to transfer again. The second… the third… the fourth… So many transfers had gradually numbed Chizuru's senses. She no longer expected new friendships, nor did she feel the same longing for what she'd lost. It was as if her heart had grown cold, or perhaps her past emotions had been hidden away, no longer easily displayed. After all, even the strongest passion will eventually fade. The transfers caused by her parents were unavoidable, a fact she couldn't change, so she had to accept it. Hearing Moeka's words, Chizuru stammered, "I'm happy and surprised, I just haven't quite processed it yet."
It was just a gift.
It was just an ordinary thing to Kariyu Reina.
But this ordinary gift left Chizuru Himeragi completely stunned; she was adorably silly.
This is completely different from the Chizuru Himeragi she had previously misunderstood. Perhaps Chizuru Himeragi is not good at speaking or even has no expression, which makes it easy for people to misunderstand.
Or perhaps Reina Kari's jealousy led her to imagine a rival.
In any case, Reina Kariyu didn't understand Chizuru Himiro enough back then, which is why there was such a deep misunderstanding. Now, this girl in front of her is really cute.
"Hahaha! What kind of face is that! If you're happy, just laugh it off!"
"I really don't want to be told something about being frank by a stubborn person!"
"!!"
Reina Kari said with a pout, but though she said it that way, she no longer held any grudges. Some people, you won't like them if you don't understand them, you might even dislike them. But if you get closer, and then closer still, the closer you get, the more you like them.
The closer I get to her, the more I want to protect her.
"Thank you." Chizuru Himeragi clutched the gift tightly; it was a hard-won gift. She said gratefully, "Although it seems a little too cute for me, please allow me to use it."
Tamaki Moka flashed a bright smile, while Kari Reina's smile appeared slightly shy.

The friendship between the three girls, Tamaki Moka, Himiro Chizuru, and Kari Reina, has deepened once again.
Beautiful.
simple.
cute.
"Oh, right, Rena," Tamaki Moeka said to Kari Rena, "Did you properly thank everyone? I did say thank you when everyone was gathered in the clubroom earlier."
"Oh?"
"Especially that amazing guy! He helped you when it was difficult to walk, right? He comforted you when you cried, didn't he?"
"Ah, although we've only known each other for a short time, thank you for taking care of me." Chizuru Himeragi spoke honestly, revealing her true feelings. At that moment, Kazutomi Oogami was already walking towards them, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
"You said it out loud, didn't you!"
Reina Kari grabbed Oogami Kazuomi's tie and, without hesitation, strangled him. Oogami Kazuomi was like a chick caught in an eagle's claws, completely powerless to resist. Most importantly, Oogami Kazuomi didn't actually fight Reina Kari; he was worried about her getting hurt—this protective instinct was almost instinctive.
"Ouch! What do you mean!? What are you talking about!?"
"You're so clueless to casually reveal other people's vulnerable moments!"
"Ouch!! Who!! Who said that!! I knew I would be killed!!" The people around seemed to have gotten used to the playful bickering between Oogami, Shin, and Kariyu Reina, since they had always seemed to have this kind of relationship.
Kazumi Oogami has always had Reina Kariyu by his side.
Reina Kariyuu was always accompanied by Oogami and her retainers.
This is a match made in heaven.
This is true love that involves mutual protection.
This is... a trustworthy person.
Lin Yan was also somewhat emotional at this moment. Was this what it meant to have a limited-time youth that lasted only one year? He was among these teenagers, feeling their feelings, doing the same things as them, including the same troubles of youth.
Whether it's this world or the world of the past, won't what's meant to be lost still be lost?
Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that he feels a sense of attachment and reluctance towards this world? No matter how extravagant and glorious the world was in the past, Lin Yan never felt any attachment to it. Perhaps he's just getting old; once you reach a certain age, you become more conservative.
"Hey, are you free?"
Lin Yan struck up a conversation with Ye Ming, perhaps only Ye Ming could somewhat understand Lin Yan's thoughts and feelings at this moment. He only wanted to say something and didn't want to delve deeper into the topic, so he spoke to the puzzled Ye Ming.
"I want to buy a drink, but I forgot where the vending machine is," Lin Yan said loudly, as if deliberately trying to make sure that Chizuru Himeragi could hear him.
However, Ye Ming said something to Lin Yan.
"You led me there! Lin Yan, you have absolutely no sense of direction!"
"Shut up!"
So the two left the classroom side by side. The area behind the school building was sparsely populated, and few people came here. Ye Ming said to Lin Yan.
"Is there something you need? I've said before that we should try to avoid too much contact at school," Ye Ming said with a somewhat serious expression.
"We spoke in front of everyone during the last competition. Everyone already thinks we know each other, so it doesn't matter, right?"
0113 That despicable sadist! [Please subscribe]
"Um, saying I wanted to buy a drink was just an excuse. I have something I want to discuss with you about the medicine I want to use to turn back."
"Do you need it again? You asked me about it once before you started school! You said you wanted to quit your job. What's it for this time?"
"I want to go to sweep the tombs."
"!"
"Anyway, you've already investigated, so you should already know, right? It's about my senior from when I was an office worker. Next Monday, July 1st, is the anniversary of her death."
"Can't we just go like this?"
"It would be terrible if we ran into someone from the company. But I don't think people from the company would go to sweep the graves of their predecessors."
"I understand. I'll go with you then!"
"What?! I don't need it!"
"How could you say such a thing! Don't say such hurtful things!"
"Really, there's no need. If you want to observe me, you can just watch from somewhere else as usual, right? There's no need to be together..." Lin Yan was somewhat annoyed by Ye Ming's excessive interference. Other things didn't matter to him, but on the anniversary of her death, Lin Yan wanted to properly commemorate her. This was related to his experience; although the 'she' in this world wasn't the 'she' in that world, they were on the same day, which was a very strange coincidence.
When he was fourteen, his childhood sweetheart was in a car accident.
He died at a young age.
Back in kindergarten, she even said in her childish voice, "When I grow up, I'll marry you, Lin Yan, okay? I want to be your bride."
Unfortunately, she was forever stuck at the age of fourteen and could never grow up.
This incident remains an indelible shadow in his heart, and he can never forget that face, that person, or any of his memories.
“I saw it. Last year, I saw you several times, standing in front of Ms. Saeki's grave for hours, unable to move. Onoya mentioned it before, right? Among the various test subjects, there were those who used the fact that memories could be erased to try to kill their bosses who bullied them during their salary days. When you heard about that, did you realize your expression changed a little?”
"I would never do such a thing!"
"Of course I believe you. But as someone who saw you at the grave last year, I'm worried. I'm worried that you might impulsively follow Ms. Saeki, that you might embark on a path of revenge, and that if you encounter your colleagues there, you might be able to remain calm. There are so many things I'm worried about."
"That happened last year, I would never do such a thing."
"What are you doing?!" Lin Yan slapped away Ye Ming's hand that was trying to touch his neck, his tone tinged with disgust.
Lin Yan was averse to such close contact.
"What's wrong? You look terrible?"
"Are you kidding me? Anyone whose neck is being strangled will look terrible!"
"Excuse me. But I'm not strong enough to strangle you. Although we were talking about last year, you're still in the same situation. However, compared to when you first left the company and couldn't even tie a tie, you've definitely returned to your original state."
"You even know about this kind of thing?"
"Of course, right? So, regarding the tomb sweeping and medicine, I'll agree to come along. Is that alright?"
"Whatever. You despicable sadist."

"It is my honor to receive your praise," Ye Ming said with a smile.
"I wasn't praising you, you despicable sadist!"
Although Ye Ming said that, his actions betrayed him. After school, he went to his office to prepare the application for the medicine. After all, these medicines couldn't be used privately without permission; they required an application and a strict approval process, which was quite complicated.
Being rigorous is a good thing.
Anne Onoya brought over a cup of coffee.
"What is this happening!?"
"As you can see! Mr. Lin Yan and my drug application form." Ye Ming didn't put down his work and answered while he was busy.
Ye Ming is quite meticulous when it comes to work.
"Of course I know that! I'm asking why!"
“He said he wanted to visit the graves of his company’s seniors. Because he might run into people he knew, he wanted to revert to his original form. I was a little worried about Mr. Lin Yan going alone, so I also reverted to my human form and went with him.”
Ye Ming took a sip of coffee.
The coffee is hand-drip coffee, which tastes much better than instant coffee.
