Shiina Mahiru raised the garbage bag in her hand, finally allowing Natsume Rin to see her expression.
It was not the sadness or anger he had imagined, but rather a very calm look with a strange emotion mixed in.
If I had to describe it, it's like a wife discovering her dishonest husband is cheating on her, and even though she's angry, she still has to maintain her composure and resolve the matter.
"it is good……"
Shiina Mahiru nodded in satisfaction, carried the bag and walked past him downstairs. It turned out that she really was going to take out the trash.
Natsume Rin returned home nervously, chatted with her senior for a few words, and her mood improved a lot. Then she waited quietly for the meeting at noon.
Bang bang bang.
About two minutes after twelve o'clock, there was a knock on the door, and Natsume Rin took a deep breath and walked out.
Chapter 211 Good Afternoon, Shiina-san
"Good afternoon, Shiina-san."
"You should say this after dinner." Shiina Mahiru tilted her head, looking so cute in her ordinary shirt and trousers.
It was exactly as she said. It should be after lunch, when they were standing at the door of the house and looking at each other lovingly. It would be appropriate to say good afternoon to her at that time.
Saying this at this time makes Natsume Rin look like an idiot.
"Then just go home and sleep now." He closed the door.
"Haven't you had enough rest these days?" Shiina Mahiru looked at him with a smile, which made Natsume Rin's heart beat fast.
Natsume Rin is now really afraid that the minister can't wait to betray him. Although it doesn't feel like there is much difference, at least he has to wait for him to tell the whole process in person, so that he will appear more sincere.
"Shiina-san, I've been very busy these past few days, where are we going to eat?"
She paused her hand movements consciously and stood back next to Shiina, looking extremely enthusiastic.
"Come with me." She looked at the guy helplessly, lifted her hair and led the way.
The streets of Tokyo in winter still retain some of the joyous atmosphere of Christmas, and there are still many Christmas trees in front of shops on both sides of the road that have not yet been taken down.
Shiina Mahiru didn't walk too far and found an ordinary restaurant near the community.
As soon as she entered the store, the heating in the store cheered up Natsume Rin.
The temperature outside in Tokyo does not seem to be very high these days, so it is really encouraging that the minister can continue to insist on morning jogging.
"You don't have any requirements for food."
Shiina Mahiru took the menu and asked Natsume Rin for her opinion. After he dared not to object, she ordered a few dishes that they could all accept with satisfaction.
Even though she knew that Natsume Rin would not object, she still put on the airs of a parent. It seemed that she had bad intentions today.
"Have you been with your senior these days?" She put down the menu and got to the point.
When they chatted before, there would never be a situation where a message would go unanswered. The last time they met, he was dragged out by the senior student and he hadn't been home for several days. She was not stupid and naturally associated it with many details.
"Yes."
Natsume Rin poured her tea and calmly admitted the matter.
"You don't even reply to the message?" Shiina Mahiru couldn't believe that he could do this.
"My phone has been turned off these days, so I can't reply to messages even if I want to."
"Looks like I lost again." Shiina Mahiru said sadly, holding her face.
"…Although it sounds ridiculous, what I am going to say next is indeed true."
Before lunch came, Natsume Rin told her seriously about the senior. Apart from not telling her the details of what happened in those two days, he also admitted his own mental journey.
"...Shiina-san, I wanted to refuse at first, but when I saw the look on Senior's face, I couldn't bring myself to refuse."
"No need to say so much. A woman like Senior Sister would actually give up so many things and be willing to stay by your side as a lover. How could Natsume, a scumbag, refuse such a good thing that came to his doorstep?"
Shiina Mahiru said this indifferently. Natsume Rin lowered her head in shame, but she felt relieved in her heart.
She did look angry, but she had obviously accepted what Natsume Rin said.
"sorry."
"Why are you saying sorry to me? I'm not your girlfriend." Shiina Mahiru turned her face away and didn't want to look at him: "Besides, Natsume-san, you are single now, right? If that's the case, don't let the senior down, just confirm your relationship with her."
Her tone sounded serious, but her actions clearly showed that she was angry. Natsume Rin looked straight at her, and waited until she lifted her hair at a loss, before speaking seriously.
"But Shiina-san, I already have someone I like."
"Don't tell me, I won't agree."
"Then I don't have anyone I like." He shrugged helplessly.
Shiina Mahiru glared at him. He had clearly admitted in his confession a few minutes ago that he had a crush on the senior, but now he was acting like a rogue.
The more she acted like this, the happier Natsume Rin was. As long as the other person also had her in his heart, many things would still be able to turn around.
"Forget it... Let's eat first."
Shiina Mahiru didn't want to continue playing this boring game with him, and lowered her head to eat seriously.
After lunch, when saying goodbye, Natsume Rin repeated the etiquette she reminded her of.
"Good afternoon, Shiina-san."
"good afternoon."
Just when he thought it was about to end, Shiina Mahiru stopped him by touching her lips.
"What are your plans for winter vacation?"
"Winter vacation? Let me think, a month of good sleep at home?"
Natsume Rin remembered that Yukino had told him about going to Europe to learn skiing, but since the snow disaster, she seemed to have stopped mentioning it.
It seems that the shadow brought by that incident is still very heavy. At least this skiing genius girl will not step on a skateboard again in the short term.
"Seriously, you have no plans to go out." Shiina Mahiru poked him.
It's fine that he stays in Tokyo normally, but now that he has time to go out, why does he still look like he has no intention of moving around?
Natsume-san, you will really become an otaku if you keep doing this.
"Plans? I don't really have any, because I usually think that just watching the scenery on TV counts as traveling, and when I really have time, I don't have the idea of going out myself."
"And if you want to travel in winter, you should go to Tokyo instead of Hokkaido."
Shiina Mahiru looked at Natsume Rin with a look that said you are completely hopeless, and then remembered that her father was going to take her to the Maldives for vacation, and she hesitated whether to invite him.
Not to mention how my father would react, it feels like if I invite him like this, given how thick-skinned Natsume Rin is, it's really hard to predict what he would do.
"Where are you going, Shiina-san, during the holidays? If you don't mind, you can take me with you. I have plenty of time." Natsume Rin raised her hand and said.
"I'll stay home and sleep for a month, that's all, see you tomorrow."
The sound she made when she closed the door was particularly loud, which scared Natsume Rin, and she then lamented how difficult it was to please girls.
She clearly didn't have any suitable travel plans, but she still had the nerve to laugh at his plan of staying at home, and she got so angry after being exposed.
Not cute at all.
Until the next day, when they went to school together, Shiina Mahiru was still angry and only came to talk to him during the break.
"Dad is taking me to the Maldives during the winter vacation."
Please excuse me, I have a question
A little sleepy, touching the sky fish
It has been raining these days, which makes me upset.
……
Sakura Ayane, the original singer, Higuchi Enka, who is more suitable for the fourth female lead? Give me some suggestions
Now I feel that four female protagonists are more suitable for Qingri. Too many emotional lines will be confusing.

Chapter 212: Is your dad going too?
Maldives?
Just by hearing the name, Natsume Rin, who is good at association, has already imagined scenes of blue sky and white clouds, sunny beaches, and beauties in bikinis.
It is indeed a great place for a winter vacation.
"Would you like to come with me?" She lifted her hair and made the invitation frankly.
"...Ah?" Natsume Rin was still a little surprised.
He was prepared for Shiina to be angry for a few days, but when he came to his senses, she invited him to go to the Maldives with her.
"I booked a few extra tickets."
This is how Shiina Mahiru explained it, but even a fool could see that something was wrong.
It’s okay to book too many air tickets, but you can’t book too many hotels.
"It's okay if you don't want to go, I can just go back and get a refund."
Noticing his hesitation, the shy Shiina Mahiru immediately spoke up.
Natsume Rin was indeed hesitant, but seeing her like this, she immediately and decisively extended her hand: "Since it's Shiina-san's invitation, I will definitely go."
"Um, Uncle Shiina?"
Natsume Rin muttered to himself, thinking that while the two young people were going out to play, it would be better for a busy man like Uncle Shiina to stay in Tokyo and take care of serious matters.
"My father took me out, so how could I leave him out?" Shiina Mahiru rubbed her forehead, speechless about the driver's behavior of kicking him out as soon as she got in the car.
Even if she felt that her father's presence was annoying, she couldn't just say it out loud.
It would be great if the old father could pay for them to go out and play while he stayed at home to handle official business.
