How should I face the friends who have become my enemies on both sides?
Rinka Hiiragi stood between the two of them, feeling uneasy and sweating profusely.
"Good morning, Rinka."
Kokoharu, Kokoharu is talking to me!
How should I reply to her?
If I respond to her actively, Xiaoyue will be angry on the other side, right?
But it won’t be like not replying, right?
Rinka Hiiragi's heart was surging.
She took a deep breath and managed to force out a cute smile. She raised her hands to her shoulders and said hello to Matsumae Shinchun:
"Good morning, Kokoro-chan."
"Cough cough." Jiuhuayue coughed inexplicably.
"Of course! Xiaoyue too, good morning." Hiiragi Rinka turned her head in an instant.
"Well, good morning."
Jiu Huayue put down her hands, raised her head confidently and closed her eyes. She held the bus hanging ring, and her face with plaster on it looked cold and arrogant.
"But, Rinka, from now on... no, from now on, just say hello to me. No need to greet the person on your right who broke her promise, good morning. She won't remember anyway."
Matsumae Shinharu's etiquette was ingrained in her bones.
Even though her childhood sweetheart now commented on her like this, she remained calm.
Her charming eyes with teardrop moles were slightly sad, and she stared at the ground and said:
"Xiaoyue, good morning or something, I will definitely remember it. I just think there is nothing wrong in working hard to pursue the one you love."
"Humph, since you already knew what I thought about uncles, why did you deliberately hide it and come here to say you want to be friends with me? I think you are just being friends with me again to piss me off even more, to make up for the resentment I had for ignoring you before."
"Not really, Xiaoyue."
"You think I'll believe it?"
"Xiaoyue, I didn't lie to you."
"Rinka, Rinka, tell me who is right."
"Ah? Ah? Me, me, me?"
Hiiragi Rinka suddenly became nervous, and the hand holding the handbag tightly grasped her skirt, and her face turned red in an instant.
"I don't know too well."
"Xiaoyue, don't make it too hard on Rinhua."
"Don't worry! I-I'm fine."
"How can it be okay?"
Jiuhuayue frowned unconsciously. She noticed that Xinchun's expression of concern for Rinhua was exactly the same as the expression she had when she came to her and did good things before. The feeling of disgust in her heart suddenly rose.
".hypocritically."
She turned her head away and stopped looking at Matsumae Shinchun, and just spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
Rinka Hiiragi heard it, and Matsumae Shinharu heard it too.
Matsumae Shinchun just looked at her for a moment longer without any further reaction.
Jiu Huayue stopped talking after that, and there was complete silence among the three of them.
In this atmosphere, Rinka Hiiragi felt inexplicably sad.
It was clearly a wonderful first day of school.
this.
Is this also part of youth?
Can Xiaoyue and Xinchun, two of his good friends, reconcile?
Or you can treat everyone to some candy. Eating some candy will warm your heart.
Rinka Hiiragi didn't know what to do, she really didn't know.
When I arrived at school, I sat back in the same seat as last semester and began to listen to my classmates excitedly discussing topics related to the holidays, waiting for Teacher Fujii to arrive.
The first day of school seemed to be the same as before.
The opening ceremony is essential at the beginning of the school year, but because she has not been able to reveal everything to Satsuki and Kokoharu in the past, Hiiragi Rinka is absent-minded.
Perhaps it was because Trouble had never figured out how to resolve the relationship between the two of them, and Hiiragi Rinka was trapped in guilt the entire morning.
She didn't even pay attention to the new course and arrived at noon in a daze.
She seemed to feel embarrassed to have lunch with everyone, so, like she used to, she took the lunch box her mother had made, walked into the cafeteria alone, and ate lunch alone.
Even though the corridor was illuminated by sunlight, it was still deserted.
"Rinka."
"X-Xiaoyue?!"
"Go to lunch with me."
"But Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue is not——"
"Come on! Stay with me."
Jiuhuayue had a resolute expression on her face, and she dragged Hiiragi Rinka towards the cafeteria.
"Xiao Yue, slow down!"
After arriving at the cafeteria and ordering the student set meal, Hiiragi Rinka saw Jiuhuayue stuffing food into her mouth.
The more it's stuffed in, the faster it's stuffed in.
Hiiragi Rinka was stunned.
"Xiaoyue you"
"Rinka, I'm really pissed off!"
"What.?"
"Didn't you notice? During the two Chinese classes this morning, Xinchun used her position as class monitor to get close to Mr. Fujii. Not only did she talk to him with a smile, she also carried his briefcase and homework books for him!"
Hasn't Xinchun always been like this?
Hiiragi Rinka wanted to say this out loud.
But seeing Jiu Huayue gritting her teeth and poking the barbecued pork on the plate with chopsticks into minced meat,
It’s better not to say this.
"That's fine, but when she was with the uncle, she deliberately looked at me for a second, then turned her head away and ignored me. This is simply... This is simply a provocation!"
Maybe Xinchun doesn't want to argue with you, Xiaoyue?
"I'm so pissed off! That vixen!" Jiu Huayue stuffed a meatball into her mouth.
"Ah, Xiaoyue. That's the meat in my lunch box—"
"I should have seen Xinchun's true face earlier. Really, she cursed me twice when I was a child, why didn't I see it this time? Why did I agree to reconcile with her?"
Jiu Huayue was angry and picked up two more meatballs from the lunch box in the middle of the table.
My most favorite meatballs are leaving me one by one.
Hiiragi Rinka could only watch helplessly.
"Xiaoyue——"
"Ahhhhh. I, I'm so stupid!"
I wanted to speak, but seeing Jiu Huayue venting her anger, I didn't know what to say.
Jiuhuayue swallowed the meatball in her mouth with great effort.
"Come to think of it, why did that girl Xinchun take the initiative to propose to reconcile with me last time? And she even said that she wanted to be friends with me? In my opinion, she did that on purpose to piss me off. Rinka, let me tell you, that big-breasted fox has always been very scheming. Some of her things may really be unintentional, but she is very thoughtful, so you must be extra careful."
Jiuhuayue kept eating while she was talking.
Hiiragi Rinka didn't know how she did it, but anyway
meatball
Only the last one is left.
Hiiragi Rinka stared at the bento in the middle, and while Jiuhuayue was talking nonstop, she secretly reached her chopsticks towards the middle.
20 cm, 10 cm, 5 cm
It's almost there.
Three centimeters. One centimeter
The next moment, Jiu Huayue picked it up with chopsticks and put it directly into her mouth. The girl didn't even have time to open her mouth to stop him.
Hiiragi Rinka's entire hand was petrified in mid-air.
"Rinka, are you listening? Rinka."
"Yes, I am."
"I didn't lie to you, Rinka. You must be careful of Xinchun. It's obvious that I knew her first, but now Xinchun is getting closer to her. She's a vixen, definitely a vixen."
Sad, sad, sad, sad——
Jiu Huayue's face was dark, and her chopsticks were scratching in the plate. If the chopsticks and the plate were made of metal, there would definitely be some harsh sounds of steel friction.
As for the barbecued pork in her lunch box, it had been broken into pieces and disappeared without a trace.
Hiiragi Rinka could only put down the chopsticks in her hand and smiled bitterly:
"Xiaoyue, I think it's true that Xinchun wants to be friends with you."
