I have a lot of green plums

"Um... No."

After thinking for a while, the girl shook her head.

April Yuzhi was a little surprised, "Why?"

"Because I've grown up."

Yes, she has grown up and is no longer the fragile little girl. She needs to learn to be independent!

So even though I miss my family very much, I can’t call Mom and Dad often, otherwise I will be like a child.

"..."

Si Yue Yu Zhi was stunned for a moment. He looked at the girl's eyes and saw a hint of determination when she said this. He smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Zhu has grown up."

The clumsy little girl who always gave the wrong change has grown into a graceful young lady.

Her introverted personality seems to have changed a lot, and now she dares to go to his bed on her own initiative.

However, she is not really grown up yet. There is still a long time to come and she has a lot of room and time to grow.

"What about Yuzhi? Aren't you going to call your aunt?"

Furukawa Nagisa smiled sweetly, showing concern for the boy.

"Next time."

"Then be sure to call me when the time comes." Auntie must be very lonely at home alone, and she also wanted to talk to her.

"ensure."

"hey-hey."

"Okay, go to sleep."

She looked at the time and it was almost half past eleven, which was already very late for the girl.

"But I still want to talk to Yuzhi more."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Si Yue Yu Zhi reached out and touched the girl's head. "You won't grow taller if you stay up late."

"Hmm..." Furukawa Nagisa compromised and shrank into the quilt.

What a girl who hasn't grown up yet.

Si Yue Yuzhi smiled and lay down in the bed. Then the girl's soft body naturally leaned over.

"..."

It's okay, he can bear it.

In the other room, Nishimiya Naoko tossed and turned in sleep.

The dark space was extremely quiet, gradually turning into loneliness.

She has always been her good friend and often went to the boy's room at night, and the boy did not refuse.

She didn't know what they did in there, but she knew her good friend must be very happy now.

Because every morning, she walked out of the boy's room with a sweet smile.

She was also very lonely and wanted to be held in the boy's arms and feel his warmth.

However, she didn't dare to do so. She couldn't muster up the courage to push open the boy's door.

This is clearly a home for three people, but she feels like an outsider...

Thinking of this, Nishimiya Glass felt extremely uncomfortable, and the loneliness in her heart seemed to be about to burst.

The tightly closed eyes finally slowly opened, and a barely perceptible whimpering sound appeared in the darkness. Nishimiya Glass was stunned for a while, then picked up the phone on the bedside.

Now she just wanted someone to chat with her, and just when she wanted to call her sister, she gave up the idea when she thought about the current time.

Until a ding sound, a message appeared on the phone screen. When Nishimiya Glass saw the message, her pupils could not help but dilate slightly.

——Little mute, bring more money tomorrow!

It was like this again... No matter where she went, she could never escape the fate of being bullied. It seemed that along the way, only the three years in junior high school were spent in dullness.

Because at that time there was a boy holding her hand, leading her out of the darkness and in front of everyone, changing her fate of being bullied.

He blocked all the misfortunes in front of him, leaving her only a little warmth to nourish her heart.

After three years of junior high school, she thought she had changed a lot with the help of the boy. She was able to communicate normally with others. She was also looking forward to high school life and felt that she would definitely live a wonderful life.

But the truth is cruel. Without that boy, she could not change anything, and could not escape the fate of being bullied.

It even almost affected his good friend.

Although both were bullied, the situation was different in elementary school and high school. In elementary school, she was bullied openly in class, and the group of people wanted to let the whole class know.

By the time she reached high school, this kind of bullying had turned into a hidden big hand that firmly controlled her.

There was no high-profile insults or teasing, just silent isolation and covert threats.

Xiao Nagisa is her good friend and someone the boy cherishes.

She wanted to protect her and let her have a happy high school life. If she got hurt because of her, the boy would probably hate her to death.

Therefore, if she doesn’t want her best friend to be bullied and isolated, she has to keep compromising with the bullies.

——I will no longer compromise with you!

Looking at the phone screen, Nishimiya Glass wanted to muster up the courage to reject the other party's unreasonable request.

But she didn't dare to do that.

If she resists, she will face even more painful revenge, and her good friends will also be implicated.

Therefore, she could only compromise, even though she knew that constant compromise would not make them restrain themselves, but would only encourage their arrogance.

But she couldn't think of any other solution except compromise.

She is so stupid.

Perhaps if she told the boy about this, he would not ignore what she did. He would definitely help her out of the predicament and teach those who bullied her a lesson on her behalf.

However, when she heard that the girl was the daughter of a teacher in the school, she was really afraid that she would implicate the people around her.

Also, the boy himself seemed to be in trouble, saying that he only had one friend in the class.

So she couldn't drag him down anymore.

"Um, April, are you free after school?"

Before the last class in the afternoon, Si Yueyuzhi was rarely approached by his classmates for a talk.

This surprised him.

Because apart from a few girls who came to talk to him after that music class, basically no one came to see him after that.

This is the price you pay for not building good relationships with your classmates at the beginning of the school day.

This is the small group system in Japanese schools.

Of course, this also had its own problems. If he could find an opportunity to take the initiative later, he wouldn't have fallen to this point.

Even if you don’t become a celebrity in the class, at least you can make a few more friends.

Of course, he didn't regret it. The reunion with the five girls was the thing he looked forward to most in his life. It was incomparable to anything else, even if it meant having few friends in the next three years.

But now...is this the chance to make friends?

Si Yue Yuzhi looked at the girl in front of him, and there was some expectation in her eyes.

If I nod my head at this moment, I might be able to change the current situation with my own abilities.

Just nod your head and agree.

"I'm sorry." Si Yueyuzhi smiled and shook her head. "I have club activities in the afternoon, so I may not have time."

Although socializing is important, he has more important things to do now.

His club had been established for several days, but it had not yet held any proper club activities.

He had been planning to officially start club activities today, so he had no time to spare for others.

"Hey, club activities? Can't we put it aside for a while? We have an important event today."

Generally speaking, after someone expresses their opinion in a tactful way, you should be able to understand the meaning of the rejection.

But the girl didn't seem to be willing to give up.

"What kind of activity is that?" Si Yue Yuzhi asked curiously. He really wanted to know what kind of activity it was that would invite a nobody in the class like him.

"Everyone in the class is going to go out and play together today." The girl explained, "After all, school has been going on for so long, and we haven't gone out to play together yet, so I want to take this opportunity to have a good exchange of feelings with everyone."

"I see." Si Yueyi suddenly realized, "Golden Week is coming soon after all."

"Yes, yes." Seeing this, the girl nodded repeatedly.

Si Yue Yu Zhi smiled and asked, "So everyone in the class is invited?"

"what?"

"I want to know if everyone in the class has been invited."

If that's the case, then it's not impossible for him to postpone club activities.

"How is this possible?" The girl stammered, "There are so many people, I can't invite them all."

So, why invite me?

Si Yueyuzhi remembered that this girl usually got along well with the boy in the class, the boy who bumped into him when he came back from music class last time.

"Do you need me to bring Sawamura-san along?"

Si Yueyuzhi smiled, and the girl was stunned for a moment and then subconsciously turned around to look in the direction of the boy.

It is indeed so.

Si Yueyuzhi already understood everything in his mind. He wondered why someone would invite him, and it turned out to be just as he thought.

Their target was not him, but the girl behind him.

Si Yue Yuzhi's gaze passed over the girl in front of him and fell on the boy not far away.

"Hey, why do you mention me?"

The girl, who was originally lying on the table cramming math problems, couldn't help but raise her head to express her dissatisfaction when she heard Siyue Yuzhi mention her.

No one invited her.

"I'm sorry."

Si Yue Yuzhi first apologized to Eriri, but did not explain to her. He just looked at the girl at the table again and said, "I won't go. The club activities in the afternoon are very important to me. Thank you for inviting me."

This time he clearly expressed his refusal. He didn't like this kind of invitation with a purpose, and he even hated it.

If you care about the girl, then go and invite her yourself. What's the point of inviting him first and then asking him to bring the girl along?

It's like he's just an accessory, which is really annoying.

"Well, what about next time?!"

Even though she was rejected so clearly, the girl still had no intention of giving up and was still thinking about inviting him.

"Golden Week is fine, I guess I'll have time during the holidays."

"I'm sorry." Si Yue Yuzhi put away the smile on his face and said calmly: "Whether it's today or tomorrow, Golden Week or New Year, I may not have time. I hope you can understand."

"Well......"

Such a rejection was already ruthless. If it were another girl, she would have given up long ago. But she still insisted. Si Yueyuzhi really couldn't understand why this girl would do this for a boy.

Is it because you like it?

Whatever it was, he was too lazy to guess. As he watched the girl leave, he just hoped that he would not be disturbed again.

But he guessed that even if he failed this time, the boy would definitely not give up.

"April-san."
