The heroines want love

"It's from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. She's saying I'm thick-skinned."

"Oh. Mr. Asakura's face..." Meng Meng reached out and pinched Asakura Yu's face under the surprised gaze of the two girls.

“It’s not thick.”

"I suspect you just want to pinch my face." Asakura Yu brushed her hand away to prevent her from taking advantage of him.

"You actually discovered me."

"Of course. Excellent people will be liked and admired by ordinary people, and I have been an excellent person since I was a child. It is normal for people to want to touch my handsome face when they see it."

Yukinoshita Yukino spread out her hands.

The meaning is self-evident.

Asakura Yu handed her the game coins worth 1000 yen.

"These should be enough, even though I have the leftovers."

Seeing this, Yuigahama Yui asked curiously, "Did Xiaoxue also say this?"

Asakura Yu whispered, "I clearly changed four words, but she still found out."

Yuigahama Yui also replied in a low voice: "Xiaoxue actually remembers everything I said, how scary."

Yukino rolled her eyes at them, picked up the game coins and walked to the game machine not far away.

The two parrots formed a pair.

Is this the set of some animal world or bird album?

Asakura Yuu noticed that Yukino's eyes were on the panda doll next to her, so when he handed her the game coin, he expected that she would take that one.

However, Minister Yukinoshita is not good at using machines.

Even how to use the vending machine was taught to her by Asakura Yu when they met her by chance downstairs of the teaching building one time.

There is no need to predict the ending, Yukinoshita Yukino's failure is inevitable.

Just like the earth orbits the sun.

The moon goes around the earth.

The tides rise and fall, flowers bloom and fade...

"Mr. Asakura, your smile is disgusting, just like a chrysanthemum blooming in autumn."

"...Chrysanthemums are beautiful! Not disgusting at all." Asakura Yu walked towards her.

"Chrysanthemums are very cute." Mengmeng, as a plant expert, interjected.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen chrysanthemums very often." Yuigahama Yui put her right finger on the corner of her mouth and tilted her head to think.

It seems like she has really only seen it a few times.

I seem to have seen it during the autumn outing in junior high school.

"I'm sorry, I used the wrong word. Correction: it's not the chrysanthemums in full bloom, but the chrysanthemums that are about to wither."

"…I am allergic to the word chrysanthemum. Let's change the subject."

Dear, do you know the two meanings of chrysanthemum?

1. Chrysanthemum, a plant of the genus Chrysanthemum in the Asteraceae family.

2. Chrysanthemum, a popular word on the Internet, refers to...

Yukino changed the subject and pointed to the claw machine and said, "The placement of this doll is too tricky."

It was hidden under a pile of dolls and could not be taken out at all!

Chapter 23 Understanding and Being Understood

"If you can't get it out, then think about a solution."

Asakura Yu's words were just nonsense to Yukino's ears.

If I could figure out a solution, would I waste so many game coins?

Yukino returned the game coins that Asakura Yuu had just given her, "Help me pick them up."

"No problem, how many do you want?"

"one is enough."

Asakura Yu observed and found that the Mr. Pan doll was pressed down by several Shiba Inu dolls.

He suddenly remembered that Yuigahama Yui seemed to like dogs, so he asked, "Yui, do you like Shiba Inu? I remember your family has a puppy? I think it's a dachshund named Sabre?"

Although the process of grabbing dolls is fun, it is difficult to arrange them at home if you grab too many.

He didn't want to waste it if he could.

"Of course I like it. But how come Xiaoyou remembers this?"

In fact, Yui cares more about the fact that Asakura Yu gave her the gift than the doll.

It was the first time that a boy gave her a gift.

"I happened to see you walking your dog near the school at the beginning of the semester. As for your name, you revealed it yourself during a casual conversation."

Yu Asakura has a good memory, especially image memory. He can even remember scenes from several years ago.

Not to mention the time when Hachiman was almost sent to the hospital for saving a dog.

And he was making matters worse—

Sabrel ran much faster than Hachiman and there was no way he would be hit by the car. He was just worrying for nothing.

Laugh to death.

Fortunately, Asakura Yu stopped him quickly, otherwise Hachiman would have repeated the same mistake and would not have been able to integrate into the class... Although the situation is not much better now.

In some ways, having a good memory is not a good thing, as memories, whether happy or sad, are difficult to forget.

Yu Asakura is afraid of encountering setbacks because once he encounters a setback, he needs longer to recover than ordinary people.

This also led to his strong desire to win.

Since you are afraid of failure, then don't fail. Eliminate such possibility from the root.

"Has Xiaoyou been paying attention to me?"

"No, I just have a strong memory."

"Eh? At this time, you should answer: Yes, Yui, I have been watching you." Yuigahama Yui pretended to be angry and said: "Xiaoyou doesn't understand girls' feelings at all."

"I think it's scary for boys to always do things according to girls' ideas."

"Will it? Everyone likes to hear nice things."

"You worry about and fear [what if the other person hates you], [what if you make the other person sad]. Once you fall into this way of thinking, it's hard to do what you want to do. Yui, you should have a deep understanding of this, right?"

"Ah."

"I just rejected you, but will you hate me or even be sad because of such a small thing?"

Asakura Yu picked up the coin, put it in, and his expression became focused.

"No. If I hate you because of such a small thing, then we are not friends at all." Yuigahama Yui replied.

Yukinoshita Yukino did not interrupt their conversation.

She knew that Asakura Yu was helping Yuigahama Yui to desensitize herself and escape the predicament of catering to others.

"You worry about being disliked by others because you lack confidence in yourself. I am different. I think with my charm, no girl would dislike me for such a small thing. So, I can say some inappropriate and even offensive words at will."

"Xiaoyou, you are too confident." Yuigahama Yui complained.

Saying offensive words will definitely make people hate you.

"Maybe. Then let me ask you. Yui, I have been lecturing you since just now. Do you feel disgusted?"

No one likes to be preached.

Yui shook her head and said, "No. Because what you said, Xiaoyou, makes sense."

"The reason why I treat you like this is because I know you won't hate me for it. If it were any other girl, I would definitely not say that."

This is what is called serving food to different people.

After Asakura Yuu finished speaking, he asked Yukino in a casual tone:

"Minister Yukinoshita, do you know what the core of socializing, or making friends, is?"

"Mutual understanding? ... In my opinion, understanding is the most important thing."

Yukino has few friends, but she knows this.

"Almost. To sum it up, it means [understand the other person, and try to make the other person understand you]."

As communication deepens, you will naturally be able to determine whether this person can become your friend.

This is the truth that birds of a feather flock together.

"Yui, you are in the live-action group... Although I don't like this name, I will use this pronoun to describe you. In the live-action group, you have been trying to understand others, but you have given up letting others understand you. This is also the reason why Yumiko and you quarreled last time."

Yu Asakura pressed the button on the claw machine.

The grappling hook slowly moved down and quickly picked up the doll.

"What kind of person is Yumiko in your opinion?"

"He speaks his mind and cares about his friends. He is a good person."

"What about yourself?"

“I like to please others…”

Yuigahama Yui was speechless. She followed Asakura Yu's topic and understood what he meant.

Even though he knew Yumiko hated hiding things, he still did the thing she hated the most.

"Did you find out? You didn't even do a good job of [appeasing others] because you don't know Yumiko well enough."

"Yeah, I'm so bad." Yuigahama Yui seemed to have found the root of her problem.

Asakura Yu took the Shiba Inu doll out of the prize exit and handed it to Yuigahama Yui.

He imitated the courier's tone: "Here, Miss Yuigahama, your doll has arrived, please check it."

"Thank you." Yui rubbed the Shiba Inu doll and decided to put it on the bed when she got home.

"You're welcome."

After saying that, Asakura Yuu turned back to look at Yukino, and asked with the serious expression that the two of them often used when discussing issues -

"Regarding the question just now, I actually have another answer I'd like to get - Minister Yukinoshita, in your eyes, what kind of person is Miura Yumiko?"

"What do you ask for this?"

Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment after hearing this.

When suddenly asked such a question, it was difficult for her to give an answer immediately.

"Hmm... a strong-willed, arrogant centaur who likes to bully others? That's about it. I haven't had much contact with her..."

Yukino rubbed her brows with her hands while speaking:

"I would label something I don't understand. I would make such a stupid mistake."

The Miura Yumiko in her eyes is completely different from the Miura Yumiko in Yuigahama Yui's eyes.

The reason for this result is lack of understanding.

But Yukino still didn't understand Yumiko's thoughts deeply, she didn't like this person.

"…It's human nature, and I often look at others with stereotypes. Just like what you said at that time, Minister Yukinoshita - [Why can you make such a hasty judgment about things you don't understand?]." Asakura Yu repeated what she said at the time.

This time, Yukino did not charge him any royalties.

Instead, he fell into deep thought.

After a while, she said in a calm voice: "I admit that I was wrong to argue with her at the beginning, but she was also wrong in this matter. She could have been more tactful, but she chose the most aggressive approach."

Asakura Yu nodded, "So I didn't take sides at the time, and Yui didn't get angry because of her dominance. You haven't really understood Yumiko at all, and you know very little about Yui."

It is very self-centered to barge in without understanding the whole situation!
