No way, it really is her?!
As he continued to observe, Luo Chen was instantly shocked when he realized the pink-haired girl looked increasingly familiar.
There was no other reason; he had recognized the girl’s identity.
Although he couldn’t remember her name for the moment, he was certain that the girl in front of him was the “protagonist” from that anime.
As for why he hadn’t realized it at first?
It’s simple. The girl had cut her long hair short soon after, so he hadn’t recognized her just now.
Of course, that was also why her popularity had decreased as a result.
On the other hand, another girl had gained super high popularity, becoming the most dazzling existence in that anime!
And, there was no exception.
Take Luo Chen, for example. Even though he had almost forgotten the names and appearances of the male and female leads, he still remembered the beautiful student council president.
It could only be said that the portrayal of the beautiful student council president was truly a success.
Blonde hair, black stockings, a mature woman.
Fair skin, beautiful features, long legs, exaggeratedly full curves that captivated hearts.
These were all massively impactful on their own, but combined together, they were truly devastating and absolutely aligned with the aesthetic preferences of most people.
These days, aesthetics were crucial, and you never knew when they might help you.
Take Luo Chen, for example. His aesthetic preferences were very normal, just like that famous celebrity from the United States who understood everything. He liked mature, older women!
From Teacher Sister to Lucrezia, and then to even Erica, it was not difficult to see that his “aesthetic” was still very normal.
Even though this girl in front of him seemed a bit innocent, in terms of her temperament and appearance, or even her facial features and captivating aura, she was actually more mature than many of her peers.
Unfortunately, after she cut her hair short, she looked like a tomboy.
It’s not that she wasn’t pretty; she just wasn’t as mature anymore.
I digress.
“Hey, snap out of it. Are you alright?”
“I’m, I’m fine. Eheheh, uh, thanks! Thank you for saving me.”
“You’re welcome.”
“…”
He looked at the girl in front of him. She was blushing, her eyes darting around nervously, and she was looking left and right as if she were anxious.
Although he still couldn’t recall her name, Luo Chen still asked out of concern.
However, his question wasn’t necessary, and the girl’s expression of gratitude almost made him go blind.
It wasn’t anything special, just that the girl was Japanese, and it’s no secret how Japanese people express their gratitude.
Anyway, in that moment, he almost had his eyes “blinded” by her.
Fortunately, he had been through a lot during this period, otherwise, he might have been “shocked” by the girl’s sudden actions.
Was she trying to test him?
“Ahem, here you go.”
“Eh? Ah!”
After he saw what he needed to see, Luo Chen wouldn’t pretend that he hadn’t noticed and continue to observe, instead, he handed his jacket to the pink-haired girl.
Only then did the pink-haired girl realize her current situation.
In an instant, not only did her little face turn red, but her head also “poofed” with smoke, performing a rapid “steam punk” transformation in front of Luo Chen!
Then, whether it was from embarrassment or nervousness, her beautiful eyes also started to spin and she swayed for a long time without accepting his jacket.
There was no way he could watch the girl transform into this state.
With consideration, Luo Chen simply held her hand and then put on his jacket for her.
Even though it was just a jacket, due to their height difference, it also managed to conceal various benefits, saving the girl from continuing to suffer a “bloody loss.”
As for the pink-haired girl, she was dazed and confused the entire time. It wasn’t until Luo Chen had finished that she regained her senses.
“Th, thank you.” (Softly)
“You’re welcome.”
“Th, this, that… my name is Hisaki Misaki.”
“I - ”
After seeing her own situation and being enveloped by Luo Chen’s aura, she immediately lowered her red face and spoke softly.
As for Luo Chen’s hand still around her?
He didn’t know if he hadn’t noticed or if he was too embarrassed to speak.
It was unclear, but anyway, regarding their current situation, the pink-haired girl named “Hisaki Misaki” didn’t protest or object, instead, her heart rate quickened, and she lowered her head.
“Sakura!!”
Just as the atmosphere between the two began to become somewhat ambiguous, and Hisaki Misaki’s eyes became slightly dazed and infatuated.
A voice came from afar, followed by hurried footsteps getting closer, and then a fairly handsome boy rushed over.
This boy’s loud shout naturally broke the subtle atmosphere and tranquility.
However, Luo Chen thought that this was a guy who was going to “compete” with him.
He saw that the boy, who was in a hurry, wasn’t concerned about him and Hisaki Misaki at first. Instead, he rushed to the side of the chestnut horse and anxiously checked on it.
‘Ah?’
What was going on? At this time, shouldn’t the first priority be the people?
But this guy, right after arriving, was only concerned about the horse. He didn’t have his eyes on anything else, or anyone else.
Should we say he’s compassionate or should we say he’s focused?
Anyway, the boy’s actions made Luo Chen a little confused and puzzled. At the same time, he thought to himself, this was a guy who valued a horse more than a person!
“Takahiro-kun?”
However, the earlier shout had broken Hisaki Misaki’s train of thought, allowing her to come back to her senses and remember the current situation.
But seeing that the boy’s eyes were still only on the steed,
Hisaki Misaki couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Then, he didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt the girl leaning towards him, almost as if she were nestling in his embrace.
“…”
