Morning.
When Lin Xi opened his eyes, Ogiwara Sayu was already busy in the kitchen.
And when he arrived in the kitchen, he found Shiina Mahiru was also busy.
The two girls had a clear division of labor.
One was frying eggs, the other was cooking soup.
It seemed they were making noodles for breakfast.
There were other ingredients on the counter.
They were the ones he bought yesterday, probably for making lunch boxes.
"Lin-kun, good morning."
Shiina Mahiru noticed his figure and greeted him with a smile.
"Good morning, Shiina-san."
"It smells so good, what kind of noodles are we having today?"
"It's tonkotsu ramen."
Ogiwara Sayu turned her head and gave him a sweet smile.
After a night of comfort, the girl had regained her full energy.
So you see.
Even though she’s so easy to please, her family doesn’t appreciate her at all.
Just right.
He, Lin Xi, is the one who benefits.
And Shiina Mahiru.
Don't look at Angel-san, she's athletic, good at housework, has amazing social skills, and is super cute.
But she’s just like Ogiwara Sayu, a child not loved by her family.
"If the boys at school knew we were eating a delicious breakfast made by two beautiful girls, they would probably use their eyes to kill me."
Lin Xi couldn't help but tease.
Shiina Mahiru smiled, "It's not that exaggerated. I told you last time, we just live close to each other, there shouldn't be any rumors."
Lin Xi shook his head, not saying anything more.
Shiina Mahiru is still too optimistic.
There are plenty of people in the school who like to slander others behind their backs.
Like Lin Xi.
These days, besides Hikigaya Hachiman, only Hayama Hayato greeted him.
Everyone else completely ignored him.
Although he was happy to be left alone.
But isn’t this isolating him?
He didn't feel down about it, instead he felt a little amused.
You guys keep isolating me, envying me, and being jealous of me.
Lin Xi believed he was still pretty popular with the opposite sex.
For example, a certain bun-headed beauty, Yukinoshita Yukino, would secretly look at him.
She thought she was hiding it well.
Lin Xi understood.
Someone like her who’s good at reading the atmosphere, would be cautious and try hard to fit in.
Yukinoshita Yukino must be struggling to figure out how to express her gratitude to him.
But girl.
Are you really okay with dragging it out like this?
The longer you drag it out, the less sincere your thanks will seem.
After breakfast, he took the lunchbox made by Shiina Mahiru and Ogiwara Sayu.
With a joyful smile, he went to catch the train with Shiina Mahiru.
Of course, they met the librarian, Mitsuhashi Kinuko, along the way.
There wasn't much interaction, and they went their separate ways after arriving at school.
Of course, Shiina Mahiru was with Lin Xi.
After all, they were in the same class, were deskmates, and were also class presidents.
This wonderful coincidence made everyone around them think that they were dating.
Maybe even living together.
If this were confirmed, at least half of the boys in the class would beat their chests in frustration and envy Lin Xi.
After all, Shiina Mahiru is so dazzling.
She smiles perfectly at everyone.
She can be friendly with everyone.
Her words never make people feel uncomfortable.
She excels in academics, and in cooking class, she can produce dishes that are delicious and beautifully presented.
The boys all scrambled to try her cooking.
If they could date Shiina-san, they would be able to laugh in their dreams.
At noon.
Lin Xi was in the library with Mitsuhashi Kinuko as usual.
Mitsuhashi Kinuko is a quiet girl.
Of course, she's a little bit of a sadist.
To win her heart, besides some special events to move her, the only option is to stay by her side for a long time.
Today, Lin Xi didn't run into Sakurajima Mai, the bunny girl senpai.
He checked it out that day.
Sakurajima Mai is also at Totsuka High, but she's a second-year student, so calling her "senpai" is actually accurate.
Without triggering any quests, Lin Xi wouldn't actively look for Sakurajima Mai.
He had a feeling.
Sakurajima Mai will find him herself eventually.
Unconsciously.
A day of classes was over.
Lin Xi, who didn't join any clubs, tried to invite Shiina Mahiru to go home together.
However, Shiina Mahiru looked a little downcast and said she had something to do, asking him to go home first.
Lin Xi had no choice but to go home alone.
It's worth mentioning that Yukinoshita Yukino was still agonizing.
She kept secretly looking at him, but couldn't muster the courage to talk to him and express her gratitude.
Lin Xi didn't do anything either.
He wanted to see how long this girl could hold back.
Actually, feelings sometimes come very easily.
As long as you look at someone often, you'll find that they gradually leave a mark on your heart.
So, as long as Yukinoshita Yukino keeps looking at him and agonizing, he will gradually become a special boy in her heart.
Later on, all it takes is a chance encounter, and the feelings will blossom.
The time was 7:00 PM.
It suddenly started to drizzle.
Lin Xi walked around Sakura-so, and handed the script for one of the episodes of the magical girl project to Uenokusa Misaki-senpai.
But he still didn't see Shiina Mahiru come home.
He felt a little worried, so he went to find Chigusa Chihiro, asking her to inquire about the situation.
Chigusa Chihiro said that Shiina Mahiru’s phone was turned off.
Lin Xi frowned, grabbed his umbrella and ran out of Sakura-so.
Seeing him rush out, Chigusa Chihiro couldn’t help but look at Ogiwara Sayu, who had been watching the door.
"Little Sayu, it seems this guy Lin Xi is really concerned about Mahiru, aren’t you jealous?"
Ogiwara Sayu shook her head with a smile.
"It's not true to say I'm not jealous at all, but I believe Lin-kun will handle it well."
"He said he would find a way to make everyone he cares about happy."
"You actually believe him? That's such a classic scumbag line, this kid really got corrupted by Mitaka Jin!"
Chigusa Chihiro pouted, couldn't help but complain.
But in her heart, she was praying that Lin Xi would find his cousin soon.
Chigusa Chihiro knew a little bit about her cousin's situation.
Not loved by her father, not loved by her mother.
No one would believe it if you told them.
Such a beautiful and well-behaved girl, her parents didn't care about her at all.
Coming back to Lin Xi.
After leaving Sakura-so, he turned on the quest guidance function, directly pointing to Shiina Mahiru’s location.
Yes.
The quest guidance function can be used even without a quest.
The game-playing life system has a very high degree of freedom, everything is for the players’ convenience.
The arrow pointed to a park.
He rushed over without stopping.
Then,
He found the petite blonde figure, drenched like a drowned chicken, on the swing in the park.
He rushed over anxiously, holding the umbrella over her head.
"Shiina-san, what are you doing?"
"You're drenched and still not going home, and your phone is off, what’s going on?"
Hearing his voice, the girl lifted her listless eyes and looked at him, biting her lip without answering.
Her golden hair, wet with rain, stuck to her cheeks, combined with her lost expression.
She looked like a small animal that had been abandoned.
