After a class.
Yumiko Miura regained her original arrogant temperament.
She pulled Yui and Hina, and crowded around Mahiru, chattering non-stop.
Occasionally, she would inadvertently glance at Lin Xi, then quickly look away.
Yui and the others were relieved to see Yumiko return to normal.
At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh, Lin Xi really had a way.
What exactly did he say, that Yumiko came out of the shadow of unrequited love so quickly?
Yumiko Miura, like a queen, occupied a boy's seat, her gaze fixed on Lin Xi.
That boy could only awkwardly find an excuse to leave the classroom.
His Majesty the Queen could borrow his seat, he was too happy to do so.
Yumiko Miura saw Lin Xi writing something with a pen, and suddenly became curious.
"Lin Xi, what are you doing? Mahiru, do you know?"
Mahiru Shiina smiled gently and didn't hide anything.
"He is currently collaborating with a genius animation producer senior to create an animation, Lin Xi is responsible for writing the script, as well as the overall animation supervision."
"Actually making animation? I always thought he was just a consumption otaku."
Yui Yuigahama covered her small mouth in surprise.
Lin Xi raised his eyes speechlessly and glared at her.
"Although I like light novels and animation, it doesn't mean I'm a consumption otaku."
"I am a glorious creator!"
"Hee hee, people don't mean to look down on you, they just think you're amazing!" Yui Yuigahama explained with a smile.
"Hey hey, what is the name of the animation you are making?"
Hina Ebina also became interested.
Lin Xi directly handed them a proposal to look at.
"Magical Girl Misaki?"
"Wow, looks pretty good."
Yui Yuigahama exclaimed exaggeratedly.
I don't know if she's really interested.
Lin Xi didn't mind, waved his hand casually, and said:
"If you are interested, the game of the same name will be completed first, and you can be given a copy for trial play."
"Really?" Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up.
She was just looking for a chance to get to know Lin Xi.
Playing games together seems like a good breakthrough.
"Of course, the game also needs people to test it and give opinions to make it better."
Yumiko Miura crossed her arms arrogantly, "I want a copy."
"No problem."
He agreed with a smile.
Hayato Hayama felt a little uncomfortable.
Why did he feel something was wrong?
Usually, Yumiko Miura would be surrounded by her girlfriends, chattering around him, and he would occasionally find it troublesome to deal with.
But why is she next to Lin Xi now?
Suddenly, there was no one chattering in his ear, and Hayato Hayama felt a little uncomfortable.
If Lin Xi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely sneer.
People are always like this.
They don't know how to cherish when they have it.
It is too late to regret until it is lost.
There is no regret medicine in this world.
"Lin Xi, do you like reading light novels?"
Yumiko Miura suddenly asked curiously.
As if confirming something.
Lin Xi smiled at her and said seriously:
"I like it, after all, I am a creator, and sometimes I need to look at other people's ideas to find inspiration."
"Of course, the main reason is that I didn't have many friends before, so reading novels and playing games can be used to pass the time."
Yumiko Miura's eyes suddenly became gentle when she looked at him.
In the future, with us by your side, you will definitely not be bored!
Yumiko Miura thought shyly, twirling her golden hair with her slender fingers, and said pretentiously calmly:
"Do you have any recommendations? I suddenly want to see what the world in light novels is like."
"Of course, Love Metronome, the author of this book, Kasumi Shiko-sensei, is said to be a high school girl."
"Her writing is delicate, and the scenes she describes are immersive. The brilliant writing and sentences are also the highlights of this work, and it is also a campus romance theme."
"Coincidentally, I have a copy with me, so I'll lend it to you."
Lin Xi said, took out the Love Metronome from his bag, and put it in her hand.
"Thank you, I will read it carefully."
Yumiko Miura replied sincerely.
Yui Yuigahama, who was one step behind, subconsciously pouted.
Actually, Yumiko's focus is not on reading novels.
But to find a topic in common with him.
Between classes.
Yumiko Miura flipped through the Love Metronome and started reading it seriously.
Before long, she became engrossed.
She used to think that being an otaku was associated with light novels, manga, and anime.
It doesn't match girls like herself at all.
Moreover, becoming an "otaku" would be viewed with strange eyes, so Yumiko Miura had never touched the field of light novel culture.
But after reading this "Love Metronome" today, she seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
This light novel.
It's quite interesting!
And Kasumi Shiko-sensei's writing is really beautiful!
"Yumiko, are you reading a light novel?"
Hayato Hayama looked at her blankly and asked.
"Yes, I feel it's quite interesting."
Yumiko Miura replied with a smile and continued reading.
Hayato Hayama felt even more depressed.
What exactly happened to Yumiko Miura?
She even started to get in touch with the field of light novels?
She wasn't like this before.
Hayato Hayama felt depressed in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to laugh and joke with Sho Hayama and the others.
How should I put it?
It's simply mental torture.
But there's no way.
Who told him to choose to wear a gentle mask?
He can't take it off anymore.
… … …
Lin Xi is not worried about Yumiko Miura for the time being.
She saw through Hayama's nature and will soon let go of that past relationship.
That kind of one-sided liking is completely meaningless, isn't it?
Hayama clearly knows it, but pretends to be stupid, always hanging her, and has no intention of responding at all.
Just like Shiina Mahiru's previous question and Yumiko Miura's answer.
She, Yumiko Miura, is not stupid.
Why continue to like a boy who doesn't care about her?
Yumiko Miura no longer had the enthusiasm she used to have for Hayama.
Instead, her eyes were calm, her tone became serious, and she was no longer as casual as before.
She just treated Hayato Hayama as an ordinary friend.
Just like the way he has always looked at her.
Thus.
On this day, only Hayama's depressed world was achieved.
At noon, the girls formed a team to eat lunch together.
Lin Xi went to the convenience store.
Because his lunch was given to Mai Sakurajima-senpai in the morning, he could only buy one.
After buying the lunch, he came to the rooftop.
But he found that the bench was gone.
Only after asking Sumireko on his phone did he know that the bench had been moved to the library by the student council members she had asked for help.
The library has been renovated and reopened.
Sumireko Sanshokuin, the librarian, naturally has to sit there.
For a girl like her who likes to read, the library is quiet and has many books, which is the most suitable place for her to stay.
Lin Xi brought the lunch he bought and quickly came to the library.
"Sumireko, I'm here."
Lin Xi sat down next to her.
"Good afternoon, Lin-san."
Sumireko Sanshokuin greeted him with a polite smile.
Lin Xi dissatisfiedly pinched her small face.
"Calling me 'Lin-san' is too distant!"
Sumireko Sanshokuin pushed his hand away and smiled playfully.
"Who told you to be dishonest? About that senpai in the morning, don't you have anything to say?"
Lin Xi smiled and grabbed her soft, snow-white hand and held it in his hand.
"I didn't have a chance to say it, but now I can tell you."
"You do have a conscience, but… can you only tell me? Aren't you going to tell Shiina-san?"
"I don't want her to worry. It won't be too late to tell her when she discovers something strange in the future."
Sumireko Sanshokuin couldn't help but pout, "Then aren't you worried that I'll be scared?"
"I am worried, so I won't say it."
He replied with a straight face.
Sumireko Sanshokuin immediately became unhappy.
She raised her hand and gently punched him.
"Why are you so mean? You know I'm curious, but you're still keeping me in suspense."
"Hehe, so are you still scared now?"
He teased with a smile.
The girl's beautiful eyes sparkled with a gentle light, and she gently rested her head on his shoulder.
"With you here, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Lin Xi took the opportunity to hug Sumireko's slender waist.
Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, his mood became cheerful.
"Sumireko, do you still remember what I asked you that day in the library?"
"That day? Are you talking about the bunny girl thing?"
Lin Xi sighed helplessly.
"Yes, it seems that due to some reason, Mai Sakurajima-senpai's existence is disappearing. People around her are starting to not see her, and some people have even started to forget her."
"She was wandering around the library in a bunny girl outfit, but no one noticed her except me."
"Why did only you notice her?"
The girl curiously looked at the man, as if trying to see something.
"Maybe it's because I'm special. Let's just say, I can see things that ordinary people can't."
Sumireko Sanshokuin's delicate body trembled.
"You saying that makes me a little scared."
"There aren't any strange things around us right now, are there?"
Lin Xi was immediately amused and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I already said that if I'm here, anything that might be here would be eliminated by me."
"So, are you an exorcist-like existence?"
"No, I'm just an ordinary high school student."
..... 0 ....
"Do you even believe that yourself?"
She rolled her eyes at him.
"Anyway, I believe it." Lin Xi smiled and touched her hair, continuing, "I met that upperclassman on the train again this morning. To temporarily relieve her plight, I'm going to help her get her luggage this afternoon and then move into Sakura Dorm."
"Are you sure it's just simply relieving the upperclassman's plight?"
Her tone became sour.
"I'm sure. I just feel sorry for the upperclassman and am just helping a little."
Sumireko Sanshokuin raised her hand and pinched him, giving him a look of contempt, but she wasn't really angry.
"Is there anything I can do? Come to think of it, I can't see the upperclassman either."
"Speaking of which, I'm so envious of this ability to make oneself invisible."
Lin Xi lowered his head and kissed her cheek.
"I wouldn't want you to have that ability."
"Please don't leave my world, Sumireko."
The girl smiled gently, "I know, you womanizing scumbag. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be in the library every day during lunchtime or afternoon club activities for all three years of high school."
"If you miss me, come to the library quickly."
In response, Lin Xi answered her by holding her slender waist tighter.
"Sumireko, you don't have to do anything. You accepting me, this womanizing playboy, is already the best help you can give me."
"Words don't count. In short, I will prove it to you with my actions."
"I will protect you and give you the courage to face this world with your true beautiful face."
Sumireko Sanshokuin felt a warmth in her heart.
She couldn't help but raise her hand to hug his neck and sat on his lap.
"Wait a little longer. Although I can restore my beautiful appearance now, I don't want to be stared at or attract attention."
"As long as you can always look at me and be with me, I'll be satisfied."
Her demands were really not high.
Lin Xi nodded seriously.
"I will, but... Sumireko, why don't you communicate with Mashiro?"
Sumireko Sanshokuin's lips curved into a smile, "You want me to have a same-sex friend, right?"
"Don't worry. Actually, I have a very good relationship with Shiina-san in private."
"Ah? When did you two start communicating?"
"Hmph, I won't tell you. Guess for yourself."
Sumireko Sanshokuin's proud and delicate appearance was also very cute.
Lin Xi touched her hair, opened the bento box, and began to eat lunch.
By the way, he enjoyed Sumireko's feeding.
"You two are really bold. The library is a public place, yet you're hugging... the world is going to hell."
Mai Sakurajima's voice came from their ears, and the two stopped feeding each other and looked at her.
Sumireko Sanshokuin covered her small mouth in surprise.
"How amazing. I can see Upperclassman again now, and I also remember that she's an actress."
