A familiar chill came from behind again, turning around, it was indeed Kayako, but what was Kobayashi Junsuke doing? Why did he also feel like he was filled with resentment?
Kayako wanted to ask, she opened her mouth but was afraid that Lin Ze would dislike her if she asked, and… did she have any right to ask?
Kobayashi Junsuke didn't have so many problems, he stepped forward, grabbed Lin Ze's arms and shook them vigorously, "You, why! The first day, you didn't go back with me, and you were with Kawaguchi-san since then, the second day you didn't go back with me, you became close with Hiraki-san, you intentionally left me out, didn't you? A scoundrel who puts love over friends, you're too much to envy...you're too much!"
Lin Ze disgustedly slapped Kobayashi Junsuke's hand away, you wanted to say envy just now, right? "What's what...Kayako was just there by coincidence that day, Hanako was met after I sent Kayako back last night, she was in a little trouble at the time, so I helped out, calling her name is normal, right? Everyone is a classmate anyway, we are friends after getting to know each other."
Kobayashi Junsuke was skeptical, but Kayako was relieved, "So you were helping Hanako-san solve some trouble? Lin Ze is still so kind, it's because of Lin Ze's kindness that I can be happy like this now."
Seeing that Lin Ze did not mention what happened yesterday specifically, Hanako knew that he was thinking for her, which made her even more grateful, "Kawaguchi-san, can we be friends?"
This! Was the reason she was waiting here early in the morning! She had been thinking about it all night, she seemed to have no friends in the class, Kayako used to be one, but now Lin Ze seemed to care about her more, so could she be friends with Kayako? That way, she would have a friend and at the same time be able to integrate into Lin Ze's little group.
“Ah? Me? Me?” Kayako was dumbfounded, she didn't expect this to be about her! She instinctively wanted to hide, but seeing Lin Ze's encouraging gaze, she hesitated. She remembered what Lin Ze said at the convenience store, "Make more friends, Kayako."
"Okay, okay, Hiraki… Hanako-san."
Her weak voice reached Lin Ze's ears, he smiled and secretly gave Kayako a thumbs up, which made Kayako feel it was worth it!
The three became four, the group entered the classroom together, Lin Ze noticed Hayano Haruna, seeing Lin Ze, she quickly lowered her head.
"Class, starting today, there will be a student on duty every day, starting from Hiraki Hanako today, four in a group, rotating every day, okay, class begins."
This was normal, but looking at Hanako and Hayano Haruna who sat next to her, Lin Ze frowned, feeling a little worried.
At lunchtime, Hanako approached Lin Ze and Kayako, this time Kobayashi Junsuke also came over, Kayako wasn't very happy, their time together seemed to be interrupted.
"Lin Ze, what are you eating today?" Kobayashi Junsuke asked Lin Ze, who was empty-handed.
Hanako: "Lin Ze-san, you didn't bring your lunch? Why don't you eat some of mine."
"No need, Kayako made me a lunch today."
Kayako, who was still uneasy just now after hearing Hanako's words, felt her mood visibly improve.
Kobayashi Junsuke was sour on the side, "You lucky bastard."
"It's nothing good, just simple rice balls." Kayako opened her lunch box with some embarrassment, inside were four fist-sized rice balls.
"Wow, did you make these, Kayako?" Hanako opened her own lunchbox, "Mine was prepared by my mom, Kayako is really amazing, I couldn't get up in the morning at all, let alone cook."
"Yeah, I can't get up either, if it wasn't for Kayako, I would have had to go to the cafeteria for lunch today."
"No~..." Kayako was so flustered that she blushed, she picked up a chicken rice ball and handed it to Lin Ze, "Lin Ze-san, please eat."
Under the gaze of the three, Lin Ze took a bite of the rice ball, facing Kayako's nervous gaze, Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up, "As expected of Kayako, even the rice balls are delicious."
"Really? Really? Can I try it, Kayako?" Hanako was a bit greedy, although her mom's lunch was also delicious, but this was made by a friend, Hanako had never tasted anything made by a friend.
There was only one chicken rice ball left...she originally wanted to save it for Lin Ze, but seeing Hanako's expectant gaze, Kayako looked at Lin Ze for help, Lin Ze nodded subtly, under his encouraging gaze, Kayako picked up another chicken rice ball and handed it to Hanako.
"Wow, it's really delicious!"
"Right, Kayako is really capable."
Kayako was very happy with her friend's praise, but Lin Ze's praise made her even happier, Kayako picked up another salt rice ball, a slight smile appeared on her lips as she ate it.
Hanako and Lin Ze noticed at the same time that the rice ball in Kayako's hand that had been bitten didn't seem to have any filling? Hanako didn't know the inside story, but Lin Ze did, "She originally planned to leave both of the only two chicken ones for me..." It seemed to touch him deep down.
"Kayako, try some of mine too, my mom's cooking is also delicious." Hanako pushed her lunch box towards Kayako.
"No need, no need." "Hey, I've already eaten yours, you try mine too, it's delicious, my mom makes great omelet rolls."
Unable to refuse, Kayako could only carefully pick up a bite to try.
"How is it?" "It's delicious!"
"Lin Ze-san, you try some too."
"It's really delicious, is there anything special in it?" Lin Ze carefully took a bite of the omelet roll, like Kayako, he didn't touch the chopsticks.
"Hmm, my mom can make omelet rolls in many different flavors."
Did Lin Ze like it? A thought flashed through Kayako's mind, it was related to Lin Ze, Kayako gathered her courage and asked, "That… Hanako, can you ask your mom how to make it?"
"No problem, I'll ask my mom tonight, let her write down the process and then teach you."
"Thank you so much." Great, this way she could make it for Lin Ze later. Kayako's smile grew wider, the three of them ate their lunch together.
Kobayashi Junsuke: ???
After the afternoon classes were over, Lin Ze sent Kayako back like yesterday, "Kayako, take this." At the intersection, Lin Ze suddenly stopped, took out some money from his wallet.
"No, I can't take it." Kayako was a little flustered, it was a lot of money, Kayako didn't understand Lin Ze's intention for a moment, she frantically waved her hands, her feet subconsciously started to retreat.
"This is for the food, I want to ask Kayako to make lunch for me in the future, so the money for buying vegetables and meat is rightfully mine." Lin Ze knew Kayako's current predicament, and also knew that she would definitely try to find a way to bring him lunch again, rather than letting her save money, he might as well just give her the money directly.
Hearing this, Kayako stopped her movements, hesitated for a moment, took the money, and then stammered, "No… no problem, don't worry, Lin Ze-san, I… I'll try my best to make lunch."
