After deciding to give up, I became popular

“I’ll go grab some food.” After saying that, the other person got up and left.

“Ah, me too.” Tadoshi and Shirogane also chimed in and followed.

It was then that Xia Chuan Minato remembered he hadn’t ordered yet, so he asked Yinglili next to him, “I’m going to order, Yinglili, what do you want to eat? Milk and a sandwich, perhaps?”

As a former seasoned bring-your-own-meal person who once loved black stockings, Xia Chuan Minato was experienced in this area and knew not to give an unlimited choice, otherwise it would be annoying if the other party threw out the word 'whatever'.

“Uh, milk…” Casting a subtle glance at her chest, Yinglili’s tone suddenly became a bit resentful, “That, that kind of thing…”

“That kind of thing?” Xia Chuan Minato was a bit confused, thinking she hated milk.

“No, it’s nothing…” Yinglili quickly said, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she whispered, “Minato, Minato, what are you going to order…”

“I was going to order a grilled meat set meal…” Xia Chuan Minato honestly replied.

Although eating such greasy food early in the morning wasn’t ideal, he wanted to satisfy his appetite since he was in the mood.

“Uh…” Yinglili was silent for a moment before slowly saying, “A sandwich will do…”

As a girl, it wasn’t really appropriate to eat such things in public, especially not in front of Minato; she would definitely be considered a strange girl, right?

In that case, she could only give up the idea of “eating the same thing as Minato”. As for why she didn’t mention milk… let’s just say it was a girl’s little stubbornness!

Even if she didn’t drink milk, she would still grow! Absolutely!

“Okay, I’ll go order first, wait here for me for a bit.”

“Okay.”

125. Is a Love Rival!

The process of ordering was naturally uneventful; select, take a ticket, and hand it to the staff. What’s worth mentioning is that he ran into an unexpected person on the way back.

“Good… morning… what a coincidence, to run into you here…” A familiar, clear, and cold voice rang in his ears.

Turning around, he indeed found the petite and lovely Second Miss—Yukino Yukinoshita.

“……”

Today’s Miss Snow Woman was as elegant and aloof as usual, making it hard to associate her with the shy girl in the bath yesterday… perhaps because the direct impact wasn’t strong enough? Or was it her personality?

He would occasionally unconsciously recall her appearance when he came out of Kasumigaoka-senpai’s room that day…

“Why aren’t you answering?” Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, a bit dissatisfied.

For her, taking the initiative to greet him in such a clumsy way was already making her very uncomfortable, not to mention being ignored by him.

Especially after what happened yesterday, it gave her a strange feeling of being used and discarded.

“Uh, maybe it’s because I haven’t woken up yet, I’m a little slow to react…” Xia Chuan Minato said, covering it up with a laugh.

The truth naturally couldn’t be said, especially in front of the Second Miss, who was still in a serious state. Once he revealed a clue, his status might be on par with a paramecium.

“Good morning, Yukinoshita, are you here for breakfast too?”

“……” Yukino Yukinoshita didn’t answer him but looked at him with a ※cute※ gaze.

Even though she didn’t say anything, Xia Chuan Minato felt like he was losing face, especially since she had initiated the topic.

Does she even know what “politeness” is, my Second Miss!

“If there’s nothing else…”

“Can’t I look for you if there’s nothing else?” Yukino Yukinoshita immediately retorted.

“No… well… uh… you can…” Xia Chuan Minato was a bit incoherent, not knowing what to say.

Compared to his bewilderment, Yukino Yukinoshita felt much better.

She naturally knew that her current behavior was quite unreasonable, but she got angry when she thought about how this guy took advantage of her so much yesterday but acted like nothing happened.

As for Xia Chuan Minato, he didn’t know what she was thinking, and thought that his slight hesitation had made her angry. Facing the girl he had once made a promise to, he naturally couldn’t say anything unkind, so he just stood there like an idiot, waiting for her to decide.

“……”

“……”

So the two of them were silent for a while, and finally Yukino Yukinoshita couldn’t help but open her mouth, “Do you have time? I think we need to talk.”

She was still a bit worried about what happened last night, but what she cared about wasn’t being seen… well, although she did care a bit, but not that much…

What she mainly cared about was the reason why Hiratsuka-sensei called this guy here…

She probably told him about her situation.

Although she understood that Hiratsuka-sensei meant well, why did she have to tell this guy? The two of them clearly had no relationship at all…

“Can I say no…” Xia Chuan Minato was about to reply when he saw her give him a very cold look.

“Hmm? What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”

“Uh… I mean—it’s impossible for me to refuse.” Xia Chuan Minato said sternly.

He had always been a reasonable person, and he would carefully evaluate and consider the requests of girls he had once failed to pursue, and would never refuse outright, even before what happened yesterday.

Yes, that’s right, that’s his quality, and it’s also the responsibility of the student council president.

“Where’s your seat?”

“Over there…” Xia Chuan Minato subconsciously pointed over, and then froze.

Could this be… not finishing the conversation on the spot but preparing to talk slowly?

He felt a bit bad when he had this thought.

Sure enough, the Second Miss directly strode towards the direction he pointed, not forgetting to turn back and remind him, “What are you standing there for?”

“……”

Since things had come to this, he definitely couldn’t refuse, so he had to explain to Yahata and the others later, saying that he had brought another cute girl for them to meet?

Thinking this, Xia Chuan Minato followed.

……

After all, he had only pointed in a general direction, and after a few steps, Xia Chuan Minato became the guide.

When he returned to his seat, he only found Yinglili sitting obediently in place waiting for him, and she kept looking in one direction, like some strange waiting-for-her-husband stone.

“What are you looking at?” Xia Chuan Minato asked curiously.

The question startled the blonde, causing her to stand up subconsciously.

“Eh, eh, eh? Why did Minato appear from this side? Didn’t you go over there?” The blonde was really startled, after all, she looked like a little dog waiting for its owner to come home, and the appearance was too unsightly, she definitely couldn't show that to anyone.

“Because that’s where you get the ticket, and this is where you pick up the food.” Xia Chuan Minato replied.

The cafeteria here was quite big, after all, it had to accommodate the students of the entire grade, and the location of their chosen seats was in a corner area. The place where he went to get the ticket was separated by a wall, so it was normal for Yinglili not to see his movements.

The only strange thing was that this idiot blonde didn't even know the structure of the cafeteria. Didn't she listen to the staff's introduction at all on the bus?

But thinking that it was Yinglili, it felt quite normal.

“Hey, if you’re always so muddleheaded, you’re going to suffer a big loss one day.” Xia Chuan Minato reminded her.

“Guh… isn’t there still Minato…” Yinglili muttered softly, and then her cheeks turned red.

Saying such a thing all of a sudden was too bold, right? That's what she thought, but seeing that her crush on the opposite side didn't react at all, she thought that he probably didn't hear it, so she immediately deflated again, her heart becoming both disappointed and grateful.

Ah, the heart of a girl in the spring season is so fickle.

Xia Chuan Minato wanted to say something, but suddenly a pleasant, clear voice sounded behind him.

“Is it someone you know?”

Only then did he remember that there was still a Second Miss behind him, so he introduced her to Yinglili.

“Yukino Yukinoshita… uh… a member of the Service Club? She’s a member and president of the club I used to be in.”

“This is Sawamura Spenser Eriri, also a member of the club I used to be in, and also the ace player of the Art Club.”

This introduction should be fine, right? Xia Chuan Minato thought.

However, what he didn't expect was that the two girls in front of him felt a warning bell in their hearts.

Especially Yinglili, the only word she thought of was—

Is a Love Rival!

126. The Little Thoughts of a Blonde

It's not that she's narcissistic, in fact, Yinglili is really quite self-aware.

As a fairly well-known beautiful girl in the academy, she has also heard of and knows some girls who also have similar honors.

For example, that black silk fat woman who always opposes her is one of them.

Always attracting people's attention with two swaying lumps, and also likes to say some ambiguous and provocative words… she’s a complete slut!

But compared to that guy, Yinglili is more worried about those love rivals lurking in the dark.

After all, although that fat woman has coveted Minato for a long time and looks very threatening, she is actually just a stupid loser.

Her progress isn't even as fast as hers!

You know, her relationship with Minato has been getting better and better recently, and she has even been hugged into bed by him!

That's basically sleeping together...

As for that fat woman? Her figure is completely invisible! Maybe she has been severely rejected by Minato, and is now hiding in some dark corner, secretly feeling sorry for herself.

Hmph, that's the end for a slut, she asked for it!

But now? She thought her opponent was only that cute blonde girl she saw before, but now a super cute and beautiful black long straight hair girl suddenly appeared… Minato is attracting too many girls, right?

Guh…

A trace of annoyance flashed through Yinglili's heart, but thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was normal.

After all, it's such an excellent Minato, wouldn't it be saying that her vision is bad if she was the only one in the world who liked him?

It's okay, Yinglili! It's just a love rival, isn't this kind of thing always there!

“You… hello…”

Yes, that's right, just greet her calmly...

“Hello.”

“……”

Guh! Her voice is also so nice! Can't compare!

Yinglili fell into depression again.

Seeing her suddenly inexplicably depressed, Xia Chuan Minato subconsciously moved closer, a little worried, “What’s wrong?”

However, Yinglili couldn't respond to him, she could only weakly pull on the corner of his clothes, shaking her head gently with a very aggrieved look, as if signaling that she was okay.

You don't look okay, Xia Chuan Minato thought.

But this idiot Yinglili has always been like this, she will always hide any worries in her heart and refuse to say them. Seeing her like this, Xia Chuan Minato thought she was hungry and embarrassed to say it.

He naturally wouldn't believe it if it was someone else, but after all, the other party was that otaku Eriri, who was weak, and also seemed to have secretly cried for a while before. It would be a win for her if her stomach didn't rumble and embarrass her in front of others.

Discovering that the two of them were interacting so intimately, Yukinoshita, who was on the side, frowned.

She wasn't stupid, she knew from the conversation that this wasn't a chance encounter, the two of them were together from the beginning. After discovering this, she prepared to say hello and leave first, and find Xia Chuan Minato to talk about things separately at a suitable time, but then she saw this scene…

Am I invisible? Yukinoshita was a little angry.
