Zongman: Started at Sakurasou and picked up a high school girl

The girls, led by Miura Yumiko, surrounded Shiina Mahiru.

"Shiina-san, you look really good."

These words revealed her dissatisfaction with having the limelight stolen, but Shiina Mahiru smiled embarrassedly and shook her head.

"No, Miura-san. I'm just an ordinary high school student like everyone else. I hope to get along well with everyone in the future."

These words made Miura Yumiko's eyes light up.

"Okay, I'll be happy to teach you in the future."

Although she wanted to find fault, Miura immediately fell for her when Shiina Mahiru showed kindness.

This is probably because Yumiko Miura is not a bad person, and coupled with Shiina Mahiru's extremely friendly personality, this creates a harmonious and friendly picture.

Lin Xi's side seemed deserted.

Hikigaya Hachiban quietly walked over and said, "I didn't expect you to be second in the grade. From the way you introduced yourself, I thought you were a poor student and an otaku."

Lin Xi rolled his eyes.

"You're also a poor student and a nerd. You introduced yourself the same way as me."

Hikigaya Hachiban smiled awkwardly.

He was too nervous at that time, so he just imitated Lin Xi and casually mentioned a few hobbies.

How many high school students don’t like light novels and comics?

However, when they reached high school, some people thought this was too childish, so they deliberately hid their interests and hobbies in order to fit in with the group.

Those who still say that they like light novel culture are instead called otakus by others.

"Hello, Lin Xi, I'm Hayato Hayama. Thanks to you for becoming the male class monitor, otherwise I would be in trouble."

Hayato Hayama came over and showed his friendliness to her.

Lin Xi smiled and waved his hand.

"It's okay. I also want to challenge myself to be a squad leader and gain some experience."

Hayato Hayama's initiative to strike up a conversation instantly made the atmosphere friendly.

The other boys who were unhappy with Lin Xi also restrained themselves a little.

A day's class ended quickly.

Club activity time.

Lin Xi and Shiina Mahiru came to the office as a team.

During this time, Lin Xi did not take the initiative to speak.

If she showed her courtesy, the Angel would think she was an NPC who had feelings for her, so the right thing to do was to ignore her.

After arriving at the office, Shizuka Hiratsuka asked the two to arrange the students' duty.

Then, she explained in detail what the monitor was going to do and let the two of them leave.

On the way, Shiina Mahiru finally couldn't help but speak.

"Um, Lin, do you hate me?"

Chapter 19: Mashiro? My cousin!

Shiina Mahiru didn't want to ask.

But from the beginning, we formed a team and went to the office, received guidance from the teacher, and then left.

The boys around her didn't even bother to talk to her, let alone talk to her.

Logically speaking, with her looks, she should be popular.

As the female class monitor, she will definitely have to deal with Lin Xi, the male class monitor, in the future.

We work together to divide the work and manage the class affairs together.

So Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but speak and asked him if he hated her.

After Shiina Mahiru finished speaking, she bit her lip and looked at Lin Xi nervously.

The little fists couldn't help but clench slightly.

In response, Lin Xi shook his head and replied:

"No, with your looks and excellent grades, Shiina-kun, there are probably no boys who dislike you."

That's right.

Shiina Mahiru pursed her lips and said resentfully:

"But Lin has been ignoring me since the beginning and hasn't discussed the matter with me about being the class monitor."

"Well, actually, I was just thinking about something, not ignoring you."

"Also, I have no experience as a class monitor, so I plan to learn from you, Shiina-san, and then offer my own suggestions once I'm familiar with the process."

"I'm sorry. I didn't expect that my cautious thoughts would make you think that I hate you. This is a huge misunderstanding."

Hearing this, Shiina Mahiru felt relieved.

"So that's how it is. I thought it was me who suggested that you, Lin, be the class monitor, and that was bothering you and made you dislike me."

"Not really." Lin Xi waved his hand. "Although I think it's quite troublesome, generally speaking, for a boy to team up with a beautiful girl and be the class monitor, and to act together, this should be something worth being happy about."

"So you're happy?"

Shiina Mahiru tilted her head, her aquamarine eyes examining him intently.

"I don't see you being happy or excited at all."

Lin Xi's mouth curled up.

"Shiina-san, how do you know I'm not excited about this?"

"Maybe I just wanted to make a good impression on you, so I hid my excitement and didn't approach you?"

Shiina Mahiru rolled her eyes.

"You've left a bad impression on me now. I think you're a mean person. You made me think I was disliked."

"Haha, sorry, sorry, it's just that my intuition tells me that if I'm too enthusiastic towards Shiina-san, you might treat me like a stranger."

"Pedestrian? What do you mean?"

“It’s like a waiter in a restaurant, treating everyone with a polite smile.”

Shiina Mahiru's delicate body trembled.

Did he see it?

Do you know that I am smiling intentionally?

Shiina Mahiru suppressed the strangeness in her heart and rolled her eyes at him cutely.

"You're overthinking it. I won't look at my classmates that way. Anyway, please give me more guidance in the future, Class Leader Lin."

As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand.

Lin Xi naturally wouldn't give him face.

He also stretched out his hand, shook the snow-white, soft little hand, and quickly let go.

"You too, please give me your guidance, Squad Leader Shiina."

She was obviously trying to change the subject on purpose, and Lin Xi had no intention of continuing to touch upon the girl's true inner thoughts, so he stopped there.

In short, it is enough to make her feel that he is a special person and leave such an impression.

"Come to think of it, Shiina-san, you actually know my entrance exam results?"

"Yes, I remember the top few ones."

"You really like studying."

In response to his sigh, Shiina Mahiru smiled slightly.

"Maintaining excellence is also a manifestation of responsibility to yourself, isn't it?"

That being said, she tried very hard to maintain excellent results but failed to achieve her goal at all.

Thinking of this, Shiina Mahiru felt a little depressed.

Shiina Mahiru is the product of a one-night stand between her parents who have no feelings for each other due to a family marriage.

Because her parents don't get along, neither of them likes her or cares about her much.

She was raised by the maid Aunt Xiaoxue since she was a child.

Trying hard to be excellent, stay excellent, and be a good kid in everyone's eyes is just to win the love of your parents.

I just want a complete and warm home.

But she was admitted to Sobu High School with the first place, but she didn't get a smile or a word of encouragement from her family.

Lin Xi naturally noticed Shiina Mahiru's frustrated expression. Although she hid it well, he still noticed the slightly wrinkled brows.

But he didn't mean to comfort her.

They just met, and he is not familiar with Shiina Mahiru.

Suddenly showing concern for others will only lead to vigilance and disgust.

Anyway, he and Shiina Mahiru are both class monitors, so they have plenty of opportunities to spend time together.

However, we can't let her continue to be depressed.

"Um, Shiina-san, do you know Shiina Mashiro?"

He suddenly asked this question.

Shiina Mahiru's eyes widened. "She's my cousin. She's in England now. Do you know her?"

"Oh, I don't know him yet, but Mr. Chihiro Chigoku once mentioned him to me."

"He said he has a cousin named Shiina Mashiro, a talented painter. I saw that your name is so similar to hers, so I asked him out of curiosity."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, Shiina Mahiru's eyes widened even more.

She took a deep breath and managed to regain her composure.

"Well, Lin, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Actually, Qianshi Chihiro is my cousin."

"But you call me cousin teacher, what's going on? How did you two know each other?"

"Oh, well, I'm Sengoku-sensei's landlord, and she lives in my Sakurasou."

“Sakurasou!!”

Shiina Mahiru subconsciously raised her voice and looked shocked.

"What's wrong?"

Shiina Mahiru earnestly begged him, "Lin, please stay and wait for me after school. Please!"

Lin Xi: “Ah?”

Chapter 20: The Forever 29-Year-Old Beautiful Girl

"Shiina-san, is this all you can do to greet me?"

Standing at the door of an apartment building, Lin Xi looked at Shiina Mahiru who was carrying a suitcase and asked curiously.

"Just take these with you for now. I've packed the rest in cartons, and the courier will deliver them."

Shiina Mahiru replied with a smile.

"Express delivery?" Lin Xi frowned.

"What happened to the delivery?"

"No, I just remembered that the courier company's vehicles were all out of service last time, so I had to go to the branch office in person to pick up the school uniforms."

"Is there such a thing?"
