There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

"Yes, yes, fellowship."

Ishiro Rie nodded and explained, "This social gathering is organized by our department head. The other party is the boys from the boys' high school. Since there are not enough girls, I want you to go with me."

Seeing her friend's indifferent expression, Lingyin's pretty eyebrows slightly wrinkled, which, combined with her sharp eyes, gave people a very serious feeling.

Socializing is a custom in Japan. This culture is very common in the corporate circle. In fact, it is the so-called group blind date, but later on students also began to try it.

Compared to blind dates for adults, students' blind dates are less formal and most of them go with the mentality of having fun.

A common thing is that people of the same age from different schools or classes go out to eat desserts, sing and have fun together. If they like each other, they start dating. If they don't think they are suitable, they just go out for fun.

Cheng Lihui has been to this kind of social gathering place many times. Every time, she was "recruited" by senior students to make up the number of people, with the mentality of eating and playing for free. This time, there were not enough people, so she invited Suzune.

"A social gathering..." Lingyin groaned, "I've never been there before."

Seeing her friend's thoughtful look, Ishiro Rie thought Suzune agreed, and nodded quickly, "Let's go, we agreed to meet at five o'clock, and now the time is almost up, let's go have dessert and sing karaoke, and we can go home before seven o'clock."

"I see..." Lingyin nodded.

"Okay, let's go." Ikiro Rie turned around and prepared to leave the classroom.

"Well, I'm not going."

"They're waiting at the school gate...eh?" Li Hui turned around and asked in confusion, "Why? It's not AA, the boys are paying."

"Do you think I'm short of money?" Lingyin put on her schoolbag, stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "You still owe me a box of ice cream."

"I owe you... so I'm inviting you to have a free dessert this time."

Rie quickened her pace to catch up with Suzune, "We just need to deal with the boys a little bit. Actually, there is a girl in the comic research department who likes to date high school boys. The director organized this social gathering to help her. We are just foils."

"Yeah, yeah, I understand." Lingyin turned her head to look at the sunset and nodded.

"That……"

"I dont go."

"..."

Li Hui looked at her friend with a confused expression, puzzled: "Why? Why does Suzune always go home after school and never go out to play with me, not even once! Whether I invite you to go shopping or do something else, don't you find it boring?"

"I'm used to it. I can be satisfied just by going home and watching TV. Also... my brother is waiting for me to come home."

Lingyin gave Ijo Rie a playful smile, "My brother is often out, and I have to accompany him for the past few days since he finally came home."

Ijo Rie nodded subconsciously, but she felt something was wrong and retorted: "But you don't go out to play when the senior is not at home?"

"When he's not at home, I have to be more careful. The world is not safe. If I run into a bad guy and no one protects me, won't my brother be very sad when he finds out?"

Lingyin looked in the direction of her home and said with a smile: "I can't cause him any trouble, so I can only be a 'good kid'."

"Good boy...?"

Looking at Suzune's pretentious expression, Ijo Rie suddenly felt that she had been fooled, and angrily complained: "Are you an elementary school student?"

“I wish I were an elementary school student.”

Lingyin suddenly sighed, her tone a little dull, "I really don't want to go, I suggest you go to those occasions less often... But actually... If Hui went to school today, and she was there, I would be willing to do you this favor."

"Mei? Why did Mei go to Suzune? Wasn't she in poor health and had been in the hospital?"

"She was discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday." Lingyin answered with a smile and ignored her stunned friend.

Seeing that Suzune was unmoved, Ichiro Rie stopped trying to persuade her. After complaining regretfully, the two of them went downstairs towards the school gate while chatting about other things.

After changing into outdoor shoes, the two saw more than a dozen students gathered at the school gate.

As the two approached, they were immediately surrounded by them.

Because of Suzune's outstanding looks, the male high school students were all stunned for a while when they looked at her, and then each of their pupils showed excitement.

What a cute girl. Is she the last one? Do you feel like you got something today?

"Rie, is this Kitahara-san?"

A tall girl wearing glasses looked at Suzune and greeted her politely, "Nice to meet you Kitahara-san. I'm Saki Kuniho from the Manga Research Club. Everyone's been waiting for you."

Without waiting for Lingyin to answer, and ignoring Rihui's embarrassed expression, several boys quickly echoed:

"Yeah, yeah, let's go, the karaoke room has been booked."

"Then let's go, let's go have dessert and get to know each other?"

"Why don't we call home and tell them not to keep us dinner? We can go get sushi. I know a restaurant..."

"We finally get out of school at 3:30 today. We've already wasted too much time. GO, GO, GO!"

Everyone completely ignored my reaction, and before Lingyin even had a chance to interrupt, they all turned around and prepared to head towards their destination.

But after they took a few steps, they realized something was wrong, and they all turned around, looking at the two girls who were still standing there in confusion.

"Um... I'm sorry." Ijo Rie weakly raised her hand and said carefully: "Suzune has something else to do at home, so she won't go..."

"Eh--?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Lingyin, who looked apologetic. Just as she was about to speak, she spotted an unexpected figure out of the corner of her eye, and her silent eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

The little girl lifted her feet and happily walked through the crowd, jumping and running towards the front.

What? Ishiro Rie stared at Suzune's back in a daze. How come this guy suddenly became a different person? He became cute and soft? He wasn't like this at school?

Could it be... So, Ichiro Rie followed Suzune's gaze and looked at the figure. Her originally calm expression suddenly froze and she became a little flustered.

Silent...silent...handsome guy...bah, it’s not that he doesn’t talk, he just doesn’t talk to people he’s not familiar with. Ah ah - what am I talking about, what silent handsome guy, why is he here?

"Onii-chan! Why are you here?" Lingyin ran in front of Kitahara Sora and said with a cheerful smile: "Didn't you say you might be home very late today?"

"I've finished dealing with Komuro Takashi's business. I actually went home at noon."

Kitahara Sora reached out and touched Lingyin's head, his eyes full of love, "You only have two classes this afternoon, and I saw that you didn't go home, so I came to see you."

"Why not call? And doesn't it have location tracking?" Lingyin took out her phone from the pocket of her pleated skirt and shook it, "Brother, you are exaggerating."

"Can't I go home with my sister occasionally?" Kitahara Sora said helplessly.

"You still have such a childish side? Stupid onii-chan." Suzune scolded her brother but her expression was filled with a sweet smile and her heart was warm.

This is my silly brother. After he came to me, he always treated me gently in his own way.

Even if they are not around, they will do their best to take care of me. For example, Sister Yang Nai often comes over to chat with me.

I understand his thoughts, so when he is not around, I will go home before dark, because he is not around and there is no one to protect me.

Aunt Yukinoshita would never arrange a bodyguard for him. Even Senior Yukino doesn't have this treatment. In short, he is just too exaggerated. It seems like he will be in danger at any time. What a stupid brother.

So I could only behave myself, not cause him any trouble, try to get home before dark, and wait for him to come back at home...

At this moment, a discordant voice interrupted the siblings. The students from the boys' high school shouted to Kitahara Sora and Suzune, "What the hell are you doing? Are you going or not?"

"Yes, yes." Another boy also asked in confusion: "Didn't they say there were only girls here? Why are there boys here too?"

"Damn it, you already have a boyfriend?"

"..."

At this time, the head of the Manga Research Club also politely greeted Kitahara Sora: "Kitahara-san."

Just when she shouted, both Kitahara classmates looked at her.

Kitahara Sora nodded in return and looked at his sister in confusion, "You guys want to go play?"

"Well - they are going to a social gathering." Lingyin explained.

"Social gathering——" Kitahara Sora raised his head and looked at the crowd again... Hmm? Why does a girl look so familiar?

That was the little girl who was rejected by me. She must be Suzune's friend, right? What was her name?

Kitahara Sora couldn't remember Ichiro Rie's name for a moment and was too lazy to think about it. He could only nod slightly to her as a greeting.

The other party let out a low cry, hid behind the president and trembled, then poked out half of his head to carefully observe the situation here.

"A social gathering." Kitahara Sora sighed again.

Compared to adult get-togethers, they just play together for a few hours after school. Except in extreme circumstances, middle school students don't actually do anything out of line.

After thinking for a while, Kitahara Sora asked the girl in front of him, "Suzune, do you want to go out and play? If you want to go, it's okay to come back later. If you need anything, press the emergency pager and I can be there in 1 minute. If you don't mind, I can accompany you."

"From the perspective of an elder? Go play with me?" Lingyin looked at Kitahara Sora speechlessly, "Have you ever heard of young people bringing their parents to social gatherings? And I don't have the heart to fall in love, stupid Onii-chan!"

"then you……"

Lingyin suddenly showed a quirky smile, "What's delicious today?"

"Braised pork, cola chicken wings, fried tofu with green onions, tomato soup..."

"It sounds very rich - although it's a bit greasy, but Onii-chan's cooking skills have won my praise."

Lingyin showed a greedy expression, dragged her brother's wrist and said with a giggle: "It's rare that today's dish is not slightly spicy, let's go home! Let's eat braised pork, I'm hungry!"

Seeing that Lingyin had no intention of going out to play, Kitahara Sora had no choice but to give an apologetic look behind him and let the little girl drag him towards home.

As the two walked away, a group of men and women at the school gate fell into an awkward situation.

There is an unwritten rule in the social gathering that the number of males and females must be equal, so after Lingyin dragged away the boy who was so handsome that he made them jealous, this group of high school students immediately felt unbalanced.

"What are you doing? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

The leading boy looked at Guobao Saki with an unhappy look on his face, "It's very rude of you to do this."

High school students are full of vigor and vitality, so they felt that they were being fooled. The young man with a flat head in the lead shouted at Kitahara Sora's back impulsively: "Hey...you guy!"

Well, with a tongue-twisting sound and a threatening tone, this is the most impolite way of speaking.

To put it bluntly, it's no less than the phrase 'What are you looking at?'

But even with such a provocative scolding, the other party seemed to have not heard it at all and simply ignored the young man.

Because he was embarrassed in front of a girl, the adolescent boy felt extremely uncomfortable. Are you guys at Sobu High School too arrogant? At least apologize!

The young man was so angry that he was about to run over to question, but he heard a sneer coming from behind him.

Kunibo Saki looked at him like he was a fool and sneered, "Do you like that girl? Is she very cute? Or do you feel very unhappy about being ignored?"

"What do you mean?" The short-haired boy turned his head and glared at her. The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

"Means nothing."

The director of the comic research department pushed up his round-frame glasses and said calmly, "The boy's name is Kitahara Sora, and the first-year girl is Kitahara Suzune. They are siblings, not lovers, so you can pursue her if you want. She doesn't have a boyfriend. If necessary, I can get their home address from the student union and tell you."

The boys were stunned by Guobao Saki's nonsensical words. The short-haired young man in the lead looked at her in confusion. What was she trying to do?

"What exactly do you want to say?"

After Kitahara Sora left, Ikiro Rie also recovered from her panic to her heartless state.

She took a long breath to adjust her mood, jumped out from behind the minister, looked at the boys in front of her as if they were idiots, and said with a smile: "The minister is saving you, you idiots..."

"You're lucky that Kitahara-senpai doesn't mind you speaking in that tone. Do you still want to chase him and ask him to apologize? If he refuses to apologize, do you dare to beat him up?"

Ijo Rie looked down on them, with mixed emotions of distress and entanglement, and said helplessly, "Kitahara-senpai, he's the future son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family, so you still want to cause trouble for him? We said at the beginning that we might not be able to get five people together. Did you ignore this key information because you were too excited?"

Kunibo Saki also looked at them with disdain. If Yuko hadn't fallen in love with that blond guy, she wouldn't have bothered to organize this social gathering.

Is this the boy from the boys' high school? They showed this kind of emotion when they first met. It's fine if they have no tolerance at all, but at least you guys should pretend a little. Aren't you a bunch of idiots? Forget about today's social gathering.

So, she turned to a little girl with mushroom hair behind her and asked, "Yuko?"

"Minister..." The girl with the mushroom-haired head glanced at the boy she had a crush on, and then said timidly, "Suddenly, I don't like you that much... I'll listen to the minister."

National security guard Saki nodded slowly, then took out his wallet, pulled out three 10,000 yuan bills and put them in the boy's hand, "Is that enough money to book the room? The extra money is your apology for making a wasted trip..."

The minister chuckled, "Maybe you don't even have 30,000 yen in pocket money for a few months."

After saying that, without paying any attention to the boys who were in a daze, he told the members of the Manga Research Club to turn around and leave, leaving only a few students from the boys' high school lying in the wind in a mess...

The future son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family?

The boy named Kitahara Sora? The short-haired young man stared blankly at the banknotes in his hand, his heartbeat speeding up.

Everyone in Chiba City knows about the Yukinoshita family, the mysterious and huge financial group that is like a local tyrant in Chiba...

It seemed like the tone I used just now was an insult. Did he really not care?

It was not until a minute later that the boy came back to his senses and gave his companion a smile that was uglier than crying: "Let's go, it's my fault today, this compensation money... let's split it equally."

This compensation money... feels hot in my hands. I feel so embarrassed. What should I do? But I can't bear to tear it up. This is a full 30,000 yuan. Damn it!

"It's okay, Yuki..." A little fat man comforted bitterly: "They are just relying on their status."
