Having overheard that they were planning to harm Sasaki, Yoshida Saki naturally wanted to run and tell him.

After listening carefully for a while, I saw that they had no intention of leaving immediately.

Sensing this was a good opportunity, Yoshida Saki cautiously walked upstairs.

She planned to be more cautious, go down from the third floor, and go to the classroom to tell Sasaki about the situation.

He walked up the stairs step by step.

After entering the third floor, Yoshida Saki ran to her class at a speed even faster than that in the physical test.

Standing at the front door of the classroom, a little breathless, Yoshida Saki raised her head and looked at Sasaki who was cleaning the windows at the back of the classroom.

Although she acted quickly, she didn't know what to say after seeing Sasaki.

There were other people cleaning the classroom, although not many, but for her, who suffered from social anxiety, this was undoubtedly an insurmountable barrier.

Just as she was hesitating, not knowing what to do, Sasaki, who had his back to her, suddenly turned his head.

Sasaki suddenly turned his head and his gaze met hers.

Yoshida Saki trembled violently like a kitten with its fur standing on end. The bangs that were hanging in front of her forehead and covering her eyebrows spread out, revealing her eyes that were wide open due to helplessness.

Before she could see the expression on Sasaki's face when he turned his head.

Yoshida Saki hurriedly stepped back, hiding her somewhat timid body in the corner of the door.

With her soft back pressed against the cold wall, Yoshida Saki reached out and pressed her soft white belly covered by the loose school uniform, trying to calm her violently beating heart underneath.

When her shyness and nervousness eased a little, Yoshida Saki began to regret her timidity.

What a good opportunity to call him out, but it was wasted because of my own incompetence.

What should I do?

Knowing that she didn't have any more time, Yoshida Saki rubbed her long legs under her skirt awkwardly, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and cheered herself up.

You can do it, Saki!

Just call him out normally.

No one will think about it, no one will care.

Take a deep breath and exhale slowly.

Before she could clench her fist to give herself a final encouragement, a soft and gentle question sounded beside her.

"Hello, excuse me~ What can I do for you, Yoshida-san?"

"Hey~!"

It let out a very cute little cry of being frightened.

Frightened by the sudden question, Yoshida Saki almost jumped up, hunched his back, clasped his hands in front of his chest in a praying position, and turned his head away in panic.

"Sa-Sasaki-san."

She nodded to show that she had not recognized the wrong person.

Sasaki smiled as he looked at the girl in front of him who was trembling slightly like a little quail, and repeated his previous question.

"Yoshida-san, is there something you want to talk to me about? I noticed that Yoshida-san has been stealing glances at me since a while ago."

Chapter 161 Friends

Because of nervousness.

Yoshida Saki overlooked the fact that Sasaki had his back to her, so how could he know that she had been peeking at him.

At this time, Sasaki asked.

Yoshida Saki's head was filled with shame that seemed to melt her.

It would have been fine if she was caught peeking by the person involved, but the person involved came over and pointed out that she had just peeped... Is there anything more embarrassing and shameful than this?

This... woooo~ I can't stay in this class anymore~

The more he thought about it, the lower his head drooped, and Sasaki naturally didn't get a response.

Seeing her soft and pointed chin stained with a hint of cherry red, even though Sasaki couldn't see her face, he knew that the girl's face must be frighteningly red.

I knew that I scared her by asking her so directly.

Sasaki tilted his head and glanced at the corridor.

When I go to school here, everyone will change into indoor shoes at the entrance hall after entering the teaching building.

As long as you pay a little attention and don't litter, there won't be any particularly conspicuous dirt inside and outside the classroom.

This also leads to some classes not paying much attention to cleaning.

As long as students check their work, no points will be deducted.

So not every class is like Sasaki’s class, where some people need to stay every day to sweep, mop, and clean the windows.

It mainly depends on the teacher.

If the teacher is the kind of nonchalant and indifferent person, students will naturally not care too much about this aspect.

Therefore, in this corridor, Sasaki's class was the only one that had not finished cleaning.

Naturally, there was no one else here except a few students from their class.

In order to avoid being discovered by their classmates that they were whispering.

To be on the safe side, Sasaki still took Yoshida's wrist and led her to a more secluded corner of the stairs.

"It's okay, don't be nervous." Letting go of Yoshida's slender wrist and taking a few steps back, Sasaki smiled and indicated that he didn't take the peeking incident seriously.

I never saw Sasaki teasing himself.

Yoshida Saki forced herself to suppress her still boiling shyness and spoke in a somewhat halting manner what she had overheard:

"Um, I just heard..."

After Yoshida finished speaking fluently, Sasaki showed no expression, but just smiled and thanked her:

"Thank you Yoshida-san for telling me this."

"Well... I don't have much to thank you for, so how about I buy Yoshida-san a bottle of water?"

Although it was a question, Sasaki said it in a declarative tone.

Obviously, Sasaki had no intention of letting Yoshida refuse.

When dealing with a timid and introverted person, simply giving in to her wishes will only result in constant rejection.

Excluding the few who really like to be alone.

Most introverts still want to integrate into the group and have someone to accompany them.

They refuse other people's kindness only out of courtesy and because they don't want to cause trouble to others.

It would be better to be a little tougher at times like this.

Sasaki did the same.

Before Yoshida could respond, Sasaki stood on the stairs leading down and waved at her:

"Let's go together. I don't really know Yoshida-san's taste."

"..."

I don't hate him, I even like talking to Sasaki.

But she was afraid that he couldn't stand her timid and gloomy appearance and attitude, so she suppressed the urge to follow him and lowered her head to refuse quietly:

"No, no, Sasaki-san still has to be on duty... so..."

Without waiting for her to finish her refusal.

Sasaki took a few steps forward, grabbed her slender wrist again, walked down and said:

"It's okay. I'm responsible for cleaning the windows. It's okay for me to step away for a while. I said I was going to change the water."

“No one will care about these.”

"Compared to these trivial matters, it is more important to ask Yoshida to drink water. If I can't express my gratitude, it will seem very rude of me."

"Compared to these trivial matters... it is more important to ask Yoshida-san to drink some water..."

It was the first time Yoshida Saki heard such words since she entered high school. She felt like she had been struck by a spell and let Sasaki pull her down the stairs and out of the teaching building.

Until Sasaki waved his hand in front of her and woke her up from her trance, Sasaki's words kept replaying in her mind.

The soft and gentle sound like flowing water echoed in her mind, flowed into her little heart, and then flowed through her body along with the hot blood, making her whole body feel warm as if she was soaking in a hot spring.

Gently covering his chest.

Feeling the violent beating of my heart and the warmth that makes my whole body go limp.

Yoshida Saki looked in front of him, and Sasaki frowned at him. For the first time, a seed was planted in the field of his heart that had never been cultivated by anyone.

If that person is willing, this seed will be watered by him, take root in her heart, and then grow into an unshakable towering tree.

But she knew that the man was only grateful to her because she had helped him.

What she said was just out of courtesy. How could anyone like a gloomy girl like her...

slap~

The sudden pain made her subconsciously cover her forehead with her hand and raise her head which had unconsciously drooped again.

Seeing that she finally focused her attention on him, Sasaki sighed:

"I say, why don't you listen to me? I've called you several times."

There was no blame in Sasaki's tone.

But to Yoshida Saki, who was sensitive and fragile and prone to daydreaming, this sentence undoubtedly sounded like Sasaki was expressing his disdain for her.

"Hug, sorry..."

Seeing that she was about to lower her head again, Sasaki suddenly reached out and pinched her soft white chin, lifting up her small face, which was not big to begin with but most of her face was covered by her bangs.

He looked down at her fair and tender face, which was much whiter than other girls' because it rarely saw the light.

Sasaki's other hand pinched her cheek and lifted the corner of her tender mouth:

"Although it may be a bit rude to say this, I really don't like the way you always lower your head and the downward curl of your lips."

“It really affects people’s mood.”

Sasaki's words made the tip of his nose feel a little sour. Yoshida Saki's eyes under the wide glasses just condensed a little mist, and then he heard Sasaki continue:

"Smile more and be more confident. You have such a pretty face, but you look so bitter and resentful. It's really uncomfortable..."

Because of the previous 'disdain' and the current 'praise', Yoshida Saki didn't pay any attention to how frivolous and disrespectful Sasaki's behavior was to a girl.

Her attention was completely attracted by Sasaki's praise again.

"Beautiful...me?"

Forced to raise her head, Yoshida Saki's misty eyes reflected Sasaki's face and she murmured something unconfidently.

"Am I really beautiful?"

"Ah."

Nodding and giving her some confidence, Sasaki added in a very naughty way, "You are very beautiful, and very much in line with my aesthetic."

very beautiful……

It fits his aesthetic...

He is...

The fragile and sensitive heartstrings of girls are most easily touched.

Yoshida Saki felt a little shy after hearing his words. She lowered her eyes unconsciously, not daring to look at his face again.

Sasaki released the hand that was pinching her chin, untied the braids hanging on her shoulders, gently smoothed them, and said to her:

"But if you can smile more often, take care of your hair, and wear a school uniform that suits the season, you will probably look prettier."
