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

Shiina Mahiru had to leave the kitchen. With Sayu busy, she had some free time.

After Lin Xi sent Zhenbai to her room, she returned to the second floor and sat on the sofa in the living room to digest her food.

I have to go to school tomorrow.

He hasn't contacted Sumireko Mishikiin for the past two days, and he doesn't know what this beautiful woman is doing.

So he immediately sent her a message.

"Sumiko, are you asleep?"

Sumireko Sanshikiin, who was looking at this side through a telescope, curled her lips and took out her cell phone from her pocket.

He tapped his fingers and quickly replied.

"What do you think? I'm sleeping right after dinner. Do you think I'm a pig?"

Lin Xi: "Hehe, what a coincidence! I just finished my meal and was lying down feeling bored."

Mishikiin Sumireko: "How's it going? Did you coax Shiina-san into submission?"

Lin Xi: "Of course not? Who am I? Mahiru has reconciled with me now."

Mishikiin Sumireko: "Hey, you can even call her by her name. How good are you?"

Lin Xi: "Probably to the extent that she wouldn't object to kissing or hugging."

Sumireko Mishikiin couldn't help but pout.

Can you say this?

Mishikiin Sumireko: "Who are you?"

Lin Xi: "I'm Lin Xi, Sumire."

Mishikiin Sumireko: "No, you're not. How could Lin Xi, my prospective boyfriend, kiss and hug Shiina?"

Lin Xi: "I think I know who I am, Sumireko. I'm the legendary light novel protagonist!"

Mishikiin Sumireko: "Bah, shameless!"

Lin Xi: "Come to think of it, there are now two Shiina in Sakurasou."

Mishikiin Sumireko: "Is that the one you brought back holding hands this afternoon?"

Lin Xi: “Did you see it?”

Mishikiin Sumireko: "Yeah, she looks cute. What's her name?"

Lin Xi: "Her name is Shiina Mashiro. She's Mahiru's cousin. Their names are so similar."

Mishikiin Sumireko: "Are you happy? I can hug two Shiina-sans on my left and right."

Lin Xi: "Jinzi, I don't mind if you sit in the middle."

Mishikiin Sumireko: "Hello, police officer? There's a pervert here, a super pervert who's been messing around with multiple women and harassing girls!"

Lin Xi: "You know what? Yesterday, a very fierce police officer invited me to be a criminal police officer after graduation. He said that there was no need for an interview. As long as I went, he would immediately give me the position of captain."

Mishikiin Sumireko: "Have you finally been reported to the police station by a beautiful girl for being unfaithful?"

Lin Xi: "No, actually I was put in jail for being brave and righteous. I saw some bad guys trying to bully Shiina and the others, so I stood up for them."

Mishikiin Sumireko: "Are you hurt?"

Lin Xi: "It's a pity that they were the ones who got hurt. Otherwise, I could have pretended to faint and waited for the beautiful girl's grateful lap pillow to repay me."

Mishikiin Sumireko: "A knee pillow? Do you guys like this?"

Lin Xi: "Others don't know, but I probably like it. However, I don't usually get the chance to lie defenselessly on a girl's lap."

"Sumiko, can I reserve your thigh for tomorrow?"

Mishikiin Sumireko: "You're already so fickle, and you still want my lap pillow? Why do you think I'll agree?"

Lin Xi: "Maybe it's because I'm too greedy. Even though I know you won't agree, I still want to try to beg you."

Seeing this, the corners of Sanshikiin Sumireko's mouth rose slightly.

Well, since you seem to be very good at coaxing me, I will temporarily forgive you for being so intimate with Shiina.

Mishikiin Sumireko: "See you on the school rooftop tomorrow."

Lin Xi: “Okay!”

After the conversation, Lin Xi couldn't help but smile.

He was still looking forward to Sumireko's lap pillow.

However, looking forward to it is tomorrow.

Lin Xi's gaze fell on Shiina Mahiru who had just walked out of the kitchen, and he waved at her.

The girl's cheeks turned slightly red. She hesitated for a moment, but still walked over pretending to be calm.

"what?"

"Hey, come sit next to me."

"What if I don't come?" She pouted slightly as she thought of the scene where he walked in holding her cousin Mashiro's hand.

"Come here, Mahiru."

"No."

"come over."

"I won't come!"

"You really don't want to come?" Lin Xi looked her up and down.

"I really can't come." She nodded seriously in response.

"Okay, I'll come over, okay?"

He quickly stood up, walked over quickly, and picked her up by the waist.

Then he walked quickly back to the room.

Before Shiina Mahiru could react, she was already sitting in his arms, her pretty face instantly flushed red.

"How could you be like this?"

"I can't help it. Who told you not to come over? I had no choice but to go over and hold you myself."

Lin Xi rested his chin on her shoulder, breathing in her charming girlish fragrance, and asked with concern:

"What were you thinking about just now, Mahiru? I noticed that while you were eating hot pot, you would look at Mashiro from time to time, and you were in a daze."

Shiina Mahiru was stunned, and her heart became warm.

She couldn't help but raise her hands and gently put them around his neck, "Lin Xi, you noticed it."

"Of course, I care about Mahiru so much that I naturally noticed your expression. It would be strange if I didn't notice it."

His words were full of friendship. Shiina Mahiru looked at him with a blush and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"It's nothing, actually. It's just...Lin Xi, you already know about my family situation, right?"

She had noticed long ago that this guy was not only considerate and caring towards her, but also understood her.

Without knowing her family situation and her relationship with her parents, it would be impossible for her to react and act so naturally.

But she didn't think about this at all at that time. She just fell into sadness and acted coquettishly to him, and he comforted her heart.

"Yes, I already knew that Mahiru was not liked by her parents. I asked Chihiro about it and even bought her a dozen beers as a reward."

This reason made Shiina Mahiru feel warm in her heart.

Since it was Chihiro's cousin who exposed it, it has nothing to do with Sayu.

She had only told Sayu about this.

However, my cousin is really shameless.

After drinking a dozen beers, she told Lin Xi about her situation.

Well, she didn't blame her cousin.

Instead, I feel a little grateful.

If my cousin hadn't said it, how could this guy be so considerate and come to care about her?

Thinking of this, the girl's cheeks and eyes became wet.

She was somewhat touched.

Compared to her cold and indifferent parents, even her cousin cares about her more than her parents do.

"Sorry, I'm just curious about Mahiru's situation. I was really concerned about you being in the park alone in the rain that day and refusing to go home."

"How dare you say that, you big idiot." Shiina Mahiru rolled her eyes at him and continued:

"You could have just pulled me along, holding an umbrella with me, and walked home together. But you ended up getting caught in the rain and ended up catching a cold."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about you. We weren't as close as we are now back then."

"The only way I can think of to get you to go home obediently is to go back in the rain myself, so that you will feel guilty and go home obediently. Am I despicable?"

"Yeah, you're super mean!"

Shiina Mahiru said this affirmatively, but couldn't help but rub her cheek against his chest.

"Thank you for being so mean."

"Thank you for being so kind and adorable."

Lin Xi raised her delicate chin and slowly moved her lips forward.

"Wait a minute! Pervert, do you still want to hear what I really think?" She raised her hand to cover his lips in an angry tone.

You want to do something bad now, you are such a pervert!

"Well, of course I'm going to listen to Mahiru's true feelings!"

Lin Xi made a decision immediately.

It’s not too late to kiss her after you hear what she says.

Shiina Mahiru relaxed in his arms, thought for a moment and said:

"Ever since elementary school, I've always been this well-behaved, cute, little angel in everyone's eyes."

“There’s a reason why I strive to be excellent.”

Asking for flowers

"When I was a child, my parents took me to a party for the only time. At that time, my cousin Mashiro was the focus of all relatives and friends as soon as I saw her."

"Cousin Mashiro was just sitting there quietly, concentrating on her painting."

"She was like a princess in a fairy tale, radiant and shining under everyone's praise."

"Mashiro's parents are also very proud of her."

"Everyone said she was a genius. Grandpa even built a special studio for her to cultivate her genius painting skills."

“That’s what I was thinking about.”

"so good."

"As long as you become excellent, you can receive so much praise, and the eyes of your parents, relatives and friends will all be on you."

"I thought that if I could become this outstanding, my parents would definitely pay attention to me like Mashiro's parents did, and give me more care and love."

"But I'm not as good as Mashiro, and I can't achieve such great success in painting."

"So all I can do is work hard at school and in every aspect of my daily life, striving to be the best and most outstanding person I can be."

"Yes, I succeeded."

"My classmates looked at me with admiration, my teachers praised me, and even Aunt Xiaoxue praised me as a well-behaved and excellent child."

"I thought if I tried my best, my parents would come home and live with me, and I could experience the loving care of my parents like other children."

"But I was wrong."

"Remember that day when I got caught in the rain in the park?"
