I don't need presence or anything

Chapter 193 Parallel Lines of Unrequited Love
[Student Lin Huan, she said that since she wants to start as a friend, it doesn't matter if she accepts her. 】

Out, appeared, Minister Xi Xiao's explosive speech!

Lin Huan and Xia Mo stared at the serious Xi Xiao with confused faces, "Hey... Xi Xiao, are you serious?"

Xi Xiao nodded, and said in sign language, 【Because, from your description, she really likes Lin Huan, classmate you—but we are just pretending to be a couple, which will delay Lin Huan classmate yours. 】

what……

why say it...

Fortunately, Lin Huan also felt that the relationship with Xi Xiao's pretend couple was just right.

In the end, she was really just [pretending]...

He obviously told Xia Mo before that he would not go out with other people for the time being.

Of course, even if you say that, but——

[Also, if you can develop a good relationship with Xinyue, this is another income from attention, isn't it? 】

Xi Xiao showed a calm smile.

"Hmm... what a powerful aura! Could it be that this is the lost secret skill [Zhenggong's Calmness] that is only circulated in the light novels of the daily butcher shop?"

Xia Mo whimpered and complained for a long time, but Lin Huan didn't pay attention to her, but confirmed Xi Xiao's decision with Xi Xiao again and again.

... I don't know how much attention can be gained if I really like it.

However, if her attention easily surpassed Xi Xiao's again, she would be very sad...

Lin Huan thought so.

At the same time, Lu Mingxue also silently closed the novel in her hand.

What she is watching today is an unpopular work by Keigo Nishino. Although the background of the story is a bit strange, the title of the book fits the current scene quite well.

The name of the novel is "Unrequited Love".

I really can't understand...

Since I like talking so much.

Why do you need to be brave?

Lu Mingxue accompanied Xi Xiao on the way home - along the way, Xi Xiao lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was thinking about something on her mind.

"Little Snow."

"……what."

"I am so sad."

Xi Xiao stared at Lu Mingxue with grievances and tearful eyes.

"It's not that you ask for trouble."

"But……"

Xi Xiao puffed her face, as if complaining about Lu Mingxue, "At this time, you should comfort me."

"Why." Lu Mingxue looked at her childhood sweetheart calmly, "If you don't like her contacting someone, just tell him not to."

"He and I are just a couple in disguise." Xi Xiao shook her head, "But she really likes classmate Lin Huan."

"If you want, you don't have to be a couple in disguise?" Lu Mingxue said lightly, "After all, you like him so much."

"No, no..." Xi Xiao quickly waved her hands to deny, "Student Lin Huan and I just—"

"If you have to pretend to be sincere like this every time in front of me, then don't ask me for comfort again."

Lu Mingxue quickened her pace until Xi Xiao grabbed her from behind.

"But, but..."

[Even if I use so many cunning methods, I still can't pay attention to Lin Huan like everyone else. 】Xi Xiao sighed silently, 【No matter whether it's because he keeps a distance from me or because I don't pay enough attention to him, I always fall behind others. 】

Because there were too many things to say, Xi Xiao finally communicated in sign language.

You can finally admit it.

Lu Mingxue also breathed a sigh of relief.

[Sometimes I also think... Maybe I subconsciously weaken my sense of concern for Lin Huan because I am selfish, I don’t want to bring Momo back to life, and I don’t want to see her with Lin Huan. 】

"Don't think too much. If you're really that smart, I won't have to worry about you." Lu Mingxue patted Xi Xiao on the head, "That's just attention, it doesn't mean your favorability for someone , does not mean that someone has a good opinion of you. If you feel that it is inappropriate to confess to someone at this time, then wait until after everything is over, and then compete with other people in a dignified way."

[Xiaoxue...] Xi Xiao gazed at Lu Mingxue gratefully, which made her turn her head away unaccustomed.

"However. If you still like someone by that time, but take the initiative to give in because you want to take care of other people's feelings, I will never help you wade through these muddy waters again."

【I see, Xiaoxue...】

Xi Xiao smiled and took Xiaoxue's arm,
【I promise you.Emotional matters, I will not budge. 】

Wouldn't that be nice...

If Xi Xiao had such determination, then Lu Mingxue would not have to worry about her anymore.

[By the way, there is one more thing. 】

"Ok?"

Xi Xiao gestured to Lu Mingxue, 【Xiaoxue also agrees to me.Emotional matters are not allowed to make concessions. 】

"I'm not you, how can I give in." Lu Mingxue said lightly, "But to be honest, I probably have a hard time liking others and I'm used to being free."

【However, if Xiaoxue and I fall in love with the same person, Xiaoxue will definitely give in for me...】

"My vision of boys is not as bad as yours, like that kind of idiot..."

Xi Xiao has been staring at Lu Mingxue, "Say it right in front of me."

"I really can't help you..."

Lu Mingxue faced Xi Xiao, nodded and said, "I promise you, I will never give in, is that all right?"

"Ok!"

Xi Xiao finally smiled through tears.

The next morning, Lin Huan yawned while locking the bicycle, and Xia Mo reminded him in a low voice by pulling his sleeve.

Lin Huan got up quickly and found that Xinyue was approaching him.

"Eh... good morning."

"Good morning, student Lin Huan." Xinyue asked with her hands behind her back, smiling, "Student Lin Huan, do you come to school by bicycle every day?"

"Yes."

"I, I saw you just now when I entered the school gate, and I was thinking that we might go the same way..."

"oh, I see."

Since it started as a friend, it shouldn't be so obvious, right?

Or, is this the girl in love...

"That, that," Xin Yue seemed to pick up the things hidden behind her, intentionally or unintentionally.

"I bought two orders of oatmeal on the way..."

"Oh, you ate a lot in the morning." Lin Huan scratched the dog's head.

"No, no... I was thinking, if Lin Huan doesn't mind, I can—"

"We just ran into each other on the road, right?"

Xinyue nodded, "I was thinking that the oatmeal porridge in this store is very delicious, so I wanted to drop by Lin Huan and let Lin Huan try it."

Kobolds are not central air conditioners. Even if they are pretending to be a couple with classmate Xi Xiao, they should not be too intimate with girls who are interested in them.

"That...sorry." Lin Huan smiled, "I want to eat with Xi Xiao in the morning, so—"

"That! Just try it! If you don't like drinking it, just throw it away!"

Lin Huan was caught off guard, and Xinyue stuffed the oatmeal into her hands, who then ran away without looking back.

It's like this again...

Lin Huan was very embarrassed.

"I always feel that something is weird..." Xia Mo folded her hands in front of her chest, and looked at Xinyue who was going away with questioning eyes, "Are all girls in love so disregarding the atmosphere? Straight men have the head of a dog."

"What kind of magical metaphor are you talking about..."

Lin Huan sighed helplessly, "If you bring oatmeal into the classroom, you will definitely be questioned... There were many people who saw me and Xinyue meeting alone yesterday. not too good."

"Well...then leave it to me."

Xia Mo took the oatmeal from Lin Huan's hand, "I quite like oatmeal... woo, it's so hot! It's quite hot... That girl seems to be sincere to you?"

"Ah... that's right."

"But..." Xia Mo sucked on the oatmeal and said, "Sure enough, something is still wrong, Mommy..."

"Can you hide and drink porridge for me? If someone sees you, do you want me to say that I am doing magic tricks because I am idle and bored?"

"Don't dislike me so much, Smelly Gouhuan!"

Xia Mo was pushed to the grove by Lin Huan, then he quickened his pace and ran towards the classroom.
