After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

"..."

Anyway, after observing for a while and confirming that Kato was indeed falling asleep, Natsukawa Kanade put on a helpless smile and slowly said the last whisper: "Good night, Kato..."

"..."

He then hung up the call, but did not go back. Instead, he quickly opened Line and sent a message to Eriri:

"Why didn't you tell me that Kato will also be attending tutoring tomorrow!!!"

He knew that Eriri would definitely not be sleeping at this moment and would reply to his message soon, so he just waited there. Sure enough, his message was marked as read and he soon received a reply from the other party.

"Hey hey hey! Didn't I tell you?! Sorry, I forgot (＞人＜；), I clearly haven't gotten your consent yet..."

Xiachuan Kanade shook his head, thinking that this guy is really unreliable. "That's not what I meant to say. It doesn't matter to me to have one more person to tutor. I'm worried about another thingε=(′ο｀*)sigh))Alas."

"What is it? (ΩДΩ)"

"Are you sure your identity as a book artist will be exposed to Kato?"

“……!!!Σ(っ°Д °;)っWow! I almost forgot about it if you didn’t tell me!”

"Have you forgotten it?! →_→"

"Then, then, then...what should we do? (〃＞目＜) Is it too late to refuse or suggest changing places?"

"No, don't do that. It'll make it seem like there's some contraband in your house that can't be discovered. That will only make people more curious."

"Wuwu┭┮﹏┭┮, what should I do? I'm not ready to expose myself to Kato yet. At least... at least I need to be mentally prepared before I take the initiative to tell her, right?"

"Hmm..." Xia Chuan Zou frowned and thought carefully, "How about tomorrow, you lock your room and say that it's not cleaned and it's embarrassing to let people visit. Anyway, no one can enter, and then we can study in the living room. However, this method is not completely safe. After all, it is still a bad idea..."

"After all, we are going to a friend's house. Even if we suggest studying in the living room at the beginning, I always feel that it will still develop into a plot of "visiting a friend's room". So I think you should work a little harder and try your best tonight to move all the 'bad' things in your room away, whether you move them to the study or to your parents' room, anyway, move them all away first..."

"As for your mother, it's best to greet her in advance and make sure she doesn't reveal your identity..."

Although this is equivalent to giving the other party a warning - a cute girl will come to our house tomorrow, you should get ready, and by then Kato may really have to turn into a fitting girl.

However, compared to the ending where Eriri reveals her identity from the other world in front of Kato, this ending is more acceptable. Not only is it a feast for the eyes, but it also does not require him to come forward afterwards to appease the two people who may have a conflict.

The only downside is that Kato might have to suffer a bit... but maybe Kato actually likes to dress up nicely? That way everyone would be happy.

He consoled the little golden retriever with a few more words of advice, but she still felt a little unsafe, so he simply suggested changing the meeting time tomorrow to after noon, so that she would have more time to deal with the "dirty stuff". Natsukawa thought it made sense and agreed. However, Eriri had to think of the reason for the refusal and tell Kato herself. Otherwise, if Eriri sent a message of refusal shortly after he ended the call with the other party, wouldn't Kato misunderstand something?

Since they want to keep the secret, they naturally have to make the most thorough arrangements, although he thinks it would be better for Eriri to let things take their course or just have a frank talk with Kato. After all, with Kato's tolerance, how could she not accept the secret that "her friend is actually a famous and awful illustrator of bullying comic books"?

After all, Kato doesn't have many friends, so she must cherish her relationship with Eriri very much.

216.What are you looking forward to?

After finishing the call, Xiachuan Zou stood by the window to enjoy the breeze, was in a daze for a while, and then slowly moved back to his room.

On the way back, he was worried all the time, thinking that the senior sister would definitely not let it go. The key point was that he had just dropped that thing from his pocket, and he didn't know how he would be teased and ridiculed when he got back.

However, it was impossible not to go back. After all, it was so cold outside and all his clothes were still in the room. How could he possibly endure the biting cold air?

So, with this mentality of wanting to go back to sleep but also being afraid that the senior sister would make trouble, he finally welcomed his fate in a leisurely manner.

After pushing open the door, the expected strange welcome ceremony did not come. Xiachuan Zou thought that the senior sister was asleep. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he found that the quilt moved a little, and then the senior sister Kasumigaoka climbed up with her arms, rubbing her sleepy eyes and said to him:

"Is it Junior-kun who is back? Come and sleep quickly. Staying up late is not good for your health..."

"..."

You are the only one who has no right to say this!

Some creators, when they have no inspiration, will just put it aside, and would rather not type a single word than do anything. It seems that they do not work at all on weekdays. However, when inspiration strikes, they will overdraw their bodies like crazy, even if it means staying up all night to work.

It is obvious that Kasumigaoka Utaha is one of these people!

He knew very well that this guy's favorite thing to do was to pile up various tasks together, and then, relying on the "materials" accumulated in daily life, finish them all at once when she thought she had a burst of inspiration.

As for her so-called burst of inspiration...it could happen at any moment!

There are no specific signs, no specific triggering mechanism, and she doesn't come to visit you at a fixed time and place like a good relative. It seems that it is completely determined by her own temperament. The only thing he can be sure of is that the senior sister will become heartless at this moment, and will fall into a very self-centered state of madness, almost completely unaffected by the movements of the outside world. After that, unless her inspiration is exhausted or the entire stage of work is completed, it will be difficult to stop her even if he tries his best.

All in all, among all the people he knew, this guy was the only one who would stay up late or was even accustomed to it, so he almost laughed out loud when he heard her comforting tone.

Of course, thanks to this, he could really feel that the senior sister should not have given up the idea of ​​teasing him, otherwise how could she say such a thing that was obviously embarrassing? It was even possible that her response mode, as if she had just woken up and was not on guard at all, was a strategy, first showing how "harmless" she was, so that he would relax his guard and be seduced, and then she would take the opportunity to do something to him...

What a realistic acting, senior! No wonder some people always say that girls are born actors. Today, he finally saw it.

So he immediately put on an attitude of rejection and replied firmly: "No need, senior sister, I'm not sleepy yet, you go to sleep first, I'll play with my phone for a while before going to sleep."

After almost a day, his phone's battery was already running low, but he couldn't show his weakness at this time. In order to make his words more credible, he even turned on the lock screen and let the light from the screen shine on his face to enhance his persuasiveness.

"Oh, I'll go to sleep first then... Also, please turn off the light for me, thank you. It's a bit harsh on my eyes."

"..."

Very good, you acted very realistically, senior! Xiachuan Kanade sighed in her heart, thinking that she was worthy of being Kasumigaoka Utaha. Even though her conspiracy was exposed by him, she was not panicked at all. She even took advantage of the situation and asked him to turn off the lights to create an atmosphere of "time to rest". This must have been her plan long ago.

But he still did it. After all, this was a normal request, and there was no reason for him to refuse it so firmly. It would seem too rude.

So he stood up and turned off the light in the room, then slowly moved to the side of the quilt.

But Xiachuan Zou had no intention of getting into bed. Instead, he sat cross-legged beside her and looked up at the starry night sky.

He planned to pass the time by counting stars.

Senior Kasumigaoka next to him seemed to be completely motionless, and only the occasional regular breathing sounds reminded him that there was such a person next to him.

"..."

"..."

The cold and lonely night is very hard to endure. The world is obviously very quiet and peaceful at this time, but what is reflected in people's hearts is always more desolate things. This is no wonder. After all, "human beings" are ultimately social creatures. Even if some people have the habit of or prefer to be alone, they still cannot be separated from society. It is not entirely true to say that they are living alone. They are just living a life without direct contact with others. Information exchange.

As for Natsukawa Sou, he should have been the kind of guy who was forced to live alone forever, but since he came to this world and met all kinds of people, he could no longer bear such a lonely life, nor did he need to endure it anymore.

He felt that life had become meaningful and every day was worth looking forward to. When he lay in bed, his mind would be full of random thoughts, wondering what tomorrow would be like, how it should be like, and how he could make it become.

But the most important thing is that from then on he no longer let life define what kind of person he was, but through his own efforts, he lived a life that conformed to a certain definition.

——He has become the dominant character and will continue to be so in the future.

"The moonlight is beautiful...the wind is gentle...that's why I fall in love with this world..." Natsukawa Kanade sighed.

"..."

"So, Kasumigaoka-senpai...for the sake of a better world, let's always be 'normal' good friends, right?" He whispered to Kasumigaoka Utaha who seemed to be fast asleep beside him.

"..."

The latter still did not react at all.

He leaned closer, somewhat unconvinced, and listened patiently to her breathing and observed her appearance - her breathing was steady and regular, her brows occasionally frowned for a moment and then quickly relaxed, her nose twitched from time to time, and her mouth smacked occasionally.

"..."

It’s confirmed that the senior sister was indeed asleep. It is absolutely impossible for her to fake this look.

So he breathed a sigh of relief and began to carefully crawl to the edge of the quilt.

God knows how much preparation he had made for this situation. He had already rehearsed various ways of dealing with it in his mind countless times. Even though it seemed that the other party was indeed unable to respond because he had fallen asleep, he did not feel dissatisfied at all. Instead, he was secretly glad.

Then he carefully lifted a corner of the quilt and slowly moved into the bed at a snail's pace, fearing that his movement would wake up the senior who seemed to be fast asleep.

He didn't dare and didn't want to disturb her at all, because he was afraid that she would start disturbing him after waking up.

As for what will happen after that, he couldn't be sure, because by then, all the other things might disturb them... or they might not disturb them, if they were selfless enough.

In short, he was a little worried, so he was very careful and cautious in his actions. Of course, the rewards were very generous. He indeed got into the bed safely and did not alarm the senior.

However, just when he wanted to relax and close his eyes to rest, he suddenly heard a rustling sound beside him -

The girl who hadn't moved and whom he thought was already fast asleep suddenly turned over and faced him, staring at him with eyes that were completely sleepy. At the same time, she teased him with her usual sly and seductive tone, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet, Junior?"

"Is it because... you are expecting something to happen?"

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

He knew that this woman had some ideas, and it turned out to be just as he expected!

PS: Wow, I caught up, caught up, before 6 o'clock, it is still today's update, no one is late. It's really terrible, I wanted to start writing after taking a shower, and then I felt very sleepy after taking a shower and blowing my hair, so I set an alarm to go to sleep for a while, and started writing when I got up, but when I got up, I found that the network was down, and it took me a long time to restore the network, and then I started working non-stop,

Then the key is - I'm stuck, fuck,

As expected, I am the kind of person who finds it difficult to write when I have no inspiration. Only when I have enough inspiration can I become a crazy coder. Anyway, that’s it for now. It’s getting late, so I will continue to write tomorrow’s chapter——

It's impossible for me to sleep when I'm asleep. Now that I'm awake, it's impossible for me to sleep unless I die suddenly.

217. Today I will just... give you a hug

"The reason why junior-kun is still not sleeping... is it because he is expecting something to happen?" Kasumigaoka Utaha stared at him with burning eyes without blinking.

"..." Xia Chuan Kanade pulled the corner of his mouth, then turned his head and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling, trying to clear his mind, "Senior, please don't wrongly accuse me. I just fell asleep a little later than the average time."

“Oh? Is that so? I thought that Junior-kun was… very nervous because it was his first time sleeping in the same bed with a girl…”

"..." Xia Chuanzou remained silent.

She was not wrong in this regard, but she was mainly nervous because she knew that her senior was a troublemaker.

"——So I don't know when it would be appropriate to make a move on a girl, because I have no experience."

"This is the only thing that is absolutely not true!" Xia Chuan Kan made a sharp explosion.

However, the senior student just said lightly: "Why would you specially prepare something like that, junior?"

"..." So Xia Chuan Zou fell silent again, and after a long while he slowly uttered: "I have nothing to say..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked, and suddenly chuckled and said, "What? It turns out that the junior is even more innocent than I thought..."

Originally, she almost thought that Xia Chuan Zou had already done it with someone else, and she felt a little angry in her heart, but when she saw his reaction, she knew that it was not the case at all, and it was just Chu Nan's precautionary measure.

But this also shows that her junior has indeed fantasized about being with her...well, she is naturally very happy to have such an idea, but it is obviously not the right time yet.

At least for her, it shouldn't be done because the atmosphere is right, but because she likes and "loves" the other person and therefore loves her.

But interest must be charged, and this rare opportunity should not be missed.

So she slowly reached out her hand, held his arm in front of her chest, and gently rubbed her head against him.

"..."

Xia Chuanzo's body tensed up instantly, and he felt as if his brain had lost consciousness for a moment, and a mess of thoughts suddenly popped up in his mind:

Close your eyes? As long as I don't move, it doesn't count... No, no, this is clearly playing the role of a turtle and an ostrich. How can you say that if you don't resist, you are innocent?

But then again, it’s not like he doesn’t like the senior sister. Although the senior sister has a bad personality and likes to play tricks on people, it’s true that she is pretty and has a good figure… No, no, don’t let your imagination run wild! The figure doesn’t matter. The key is whether she likes him or not!

If there is no emotion, then he can't hurt the senior sister no matter what. Even if she really took the initiative, he should reject her with reason and emotion, and tell her that she should cherish herself more...

But... that is to say, but... is there a possibility that... she actually likes him a little bit? It's just that the timing is not right for them to date, and today might be the opportunity...

Hmm...this is too much of a headache!

"..."

Natsukawa Kanade is still struggling.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing by, felt extremely relieved.

In fact, her sleeping condition was not good at all. Every night, she would lie in bed and have difficulty falling asleep. Even if she fell asleep quickly because of her tiredness, she would always wake up suddenly without warning in the middle of the night, and then it would become even more difficult for her to fall asleep again.

This may be largely due to the fact that she has long been accustomed to working at night, which causes her to always become excited and difficult to fall asleep at night. From time to time, she would think of various things that she is concerned about, such as "how will her work develop in the future?" and "she is already in the third year of high school, and she should also pay attention to her academic situation." But in fact, what she is most entangled with is her junior.

She was always worried about the other party's "falling in love with someone else" and the progress of the situation. She was worried that he would really start dating someone and then become impossible to get close to him... In fact, she would never worry about these things. She even had the idea that "it doesn't matter even if the junior really starts dating someone else", because she believed that she had enough confidence and strength to win him back. On the other hand, the junior who had dating experience would obviously become more considerate and caring, and she liked this very much. She liked the feeling of him always revolving around her.

However, during the time after he rejected her, she gradually understood one thing - if he had already started dating someone, or had started pursuing someone, then there would be no room for other girls in his eyes. With a man like this, she had no possibility of getting close to him, let alone how to win him back.
