Chapter 36: Please choose your route carefully
The long-haired girl walked briskly about 2 meters in front of me, completely devoid of the complicated emotions I had before facing the snow, and I kept my distance behind her unhurriedly. In a way, this state is more like an older brother with his sister from school than a couple who have just started a relationship - of course, this couple needs to be put in quotation marks.
Sonoda didn't seem to want to speak at all, and she didn't even show any embarrassed expression, as if the current situation was the ideal situation for her. But for me, the situation is nothing short of torment. Although there were almost no classmates on the road because I left late, I still couldn't settle down because I was too nervous about all kinds of small news recently.
"So—" I said, as I pondered, "what did you do with me at school today?"
"What's the matter, are you unhappy to disturb the time you spend alone with the seniors under the snow?"
"Uh-"
"—just kidding!" the girl stopped suddenly, and if I hadn't been paying attention, I would have bumped into her.
"Is there any resemblance to the tone before imitating the predecessor under the snow?"
"Aha?"
It can be seen that Sonoda is in a good mood, quite good—I can't imagine that she was still in that cautious state before. If I had to say that something had happened in the middle, it would have been that I had helped her speak and gave her the green light to let go under the snow, right?
Sure enough, as a girl, Sonoda is not exempt from vulgarity in terms of having a strange sense of accomplishment here!
"Well, let's talk about the serious topic, about the reason why I came to Senpai," Sonoda continued, after sorting out his expression to make it more serious, "I think that acting needs to be immersive - if you don't really invest in your feelings, it will be easy for Kogi Senpai to see when you speak." So, I felt like I needed to get in touch with Yubihama more – get to know Yubihama better. ”
"Ahh
"In other words, if Kogi-senpai didn't give up after seeing me, it would be terrible, and I had to prove to her that I was the one who was more suitable for Yuhihama-sen!" Sonoda made such a misleading statement with his chest straightened.
- There was no one else around, so I was lucky that this dangerous statement was not heard by others.
"Uh, that, I mean on the surface, on the surface- you know that, right?" Apparently the girl herself realized the danger of what she was saying, and explained with some embarrassment.
"Actually, I don't disagree with what you say, but—"
- But this kind of speech feels like a sign of a dangerous flag, isn't it?
"-As for that, Senpai should have confidence in me, won't I? Even for Sugiura-senpai, I won't like you-Plus, red-haired boys are disgusting!"
- Even though my hair is a strange dark blue!
"Oh, that's really thanks to you and this disgusting boy pretending to be a couple. ”
"-Well, of course, my senior was the first to dispel my hostility towards the red-haired boy, which is not easy!"
Normally, my judgment of the tsundere girl is more accurate, but this little girl's changing speech has left me a little uncertain.
"Well, seriously, of course I wouldn't say anything as complacent and irresponsible as 'if you like me', but to be honest, you know my situation now, and if this trend does occur, I probably won't be able to spot it, understand?"
"Understood. Sonoda nodded, responding to my serious words, "Don't worry about this, seniors - after all, this is also the biggest capital I recommend myself, isn't it?"
"If you trust a person, trust him until the last moment, that's my principle. But, I've been hit by that, you know that, right?"
"The final of the national league, everyone knows it!"
"So, I don't want you to be next. That guy's football life has been ruined by me, maybe your problem is not that serious, but if it also causes waves in your secondary school life, it is not what I want to see. ”
"Hmm. Sonoda nodded thoughtfully.
"But don't be pressured – have faith in yourself, and if I make any moves that cross the line, you can do it right away. Of course, if this situation arises this afternoon, let me know in advance that I will be mentally prepared and it will be more convenient to deal with the snow. ”
"I originally came here to experience the feeling of 'waiting for my boyfriend outside the school gate to suddenly surprise him', wouldn't it be like this feeling if I notified my seniors in advance?"
"The difficulty of this matter is too high, pass it early!"
"But I turned down a friend's invitation to karaoke for the sake of my seniors!"
No matter how serious a girl is, she is unreasonable when she cheats - I have experienced this vividly in Koharu, who has always been very serious, and now, in the face of this unreasonable offensive of her juniors, I am still embarrassed.
"Please go eat crepes!"
Of course, another lesson I learned from Koharu is that when it comes to making girls happy, there's nothing that can't be solved with something delicious.
- Although this strange trend of development makes me feel like there is really a sense of interaction between me and Sonoda.
------------------------------------ Dividing Line-------------------------------------
Sonoda's eating posture is very elegant - it should be said, more particular than the average girl, I don't know if this is because she pays more attention to her image in front of me or because of her tutor, the small bite of swallowing and chewing and the quiet appearance when eating make me suddenly feel that it is really cheap to buy her with these small snacks.
"However, since the seniors mentioned the issue of notifying them in advance, then I will tell the seniors in advance, and after every school, I will come to the seniors to find you. "This is the first bombshell that Sonoda dropped on me after eating crepes.
"You don't need to, after all, you also have a job in the student council—"
"-No, in fact, the handover of work has basically been completed now, so the seniors have been concentrating on studying for the exam, and basically do not appear in the office. I can ask my friends to help me with my daily work, and they will join the student council next year anyway to help me, even if it is to get them used to work in advance. ”
"The two you saw at the fireworks festival before?"
"Hmm. Probably recalling the situation when he was ridiculed, Sonoda lowered his head a little embarrassed.
"Those two girls, they feel like gossip - you won't be suspected by them, will you?"
"Well, so, I've already told them," Sonoda's face turned redder, almost just a sound of her lips squirming, "I told them that I had a boyfriend, a high school boy or something. ”
"-Hey!"
"That,I didn't say who it was.,I didn't mention the fact that it's fake with my seniors.,It's just an excuse for them to help.,It's just an excuse like I'm going to work.,And isn't this matter with my seniors going to end soon?
I'm starting to regret that I chose to trust Sonoda - I thought she was a more reliable choice, but judging by the current situation, she is more likely to cause trouble than I thought.
But what now? She vaguely revealed the matter to her friends, just as I had just admitted to Yukishita that I was a couple with Sonoda—a matter that would eventually be known to people, and now it was just a matter of revealing it to a few people who were not too important.
"The next time you make this kind of decision, tell me in advance. Looking at Sonoda's pitiful expression again, I finally nodded helplessly.
"Don't worry, Suinogo and Little Bird are very measured people, and if I don't want to tell them, they won't ask too much. ”
"I hope so, right?" I had the impression that the short-haired, more lively girl seemed to be the type who was more likely to find trouble, and I could only pray that Sonoda's assurances would work.
- But, to be honest, more and more unexpected situations are out of my control, and I have to rely on the assurances that Sonoda has given me, which makes me a little more and more nervous.
After all, that's when I realized that I had nothing to use to suppress her in the whole thing - trust was necessary, but unconditional trust was stupid.
And that's what I'm doing right now.
"That, senior, are you still angry?" came a timid voice.
The girl's worried and embarrassed eyes eased my vigilance a little, this is a kind girl, I can be sure of that. Letting her guard down is also because she believes in her essence, and she is still a straight forward person, just like the Koharu she longs for.
"It's nothing!" habitually touched Sonoda's head to reassure her, "as long as you live up to my trust." ”
"That, senior, this matter has crossed the line!" Sonoda said softly, but then, she added, "However, forget it this time, and don't make an example." ”
"I didn't expect you to show such a little animal-like expression, and sure enough, when the girl fell in love, uh-"
- Sonoda shouldn't have fallen into this state, right?
It's not okay to be too relaxed, the other party always reminds him that he can't be emotionally invested in me, and it's actually the same on my side - getting along for a long time, especially when you deliberately get along in an ambiguous atmosphere, it's easy to fake it. Keep telling the other party not to like him, if he falls - or to a middle school girl, this is really a lifetime of black history.
I quickly widened the distance between myself and Sonoda, and Sonoda was embarrassed to pull back his sideburns, and it was only then that I realized that we had casually walked to the door of Qingquan Middle School.
It gave me a sense of foreboding.
"Then let's do it for now—see you tomorrow!"
"Well, see you tomorrow!"
Say goodbye quickly and leave.
- If so, of course, that's the best ending.
However, I looked back with trepidation.
Then I saw the last thing I wanted to see.
The girl who re-combed her single ponytail looked at me in disbelief with her mouth covered, while the girl with long dark blue hair involuntarily took a few steps back and leaned back on me impartially.
This is probably the worst reunion with an ex-girlfriend in the world!
- Note that if you are going on a date, choose your route carefully.
