The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

Xia Qiu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Ah, sorry, we are eating lunch here, it might be a bit noisy. How about... you join us?"

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at everyone and frowned slightly.

She didn't really want to join in on this lively occasion, but she didn't leave immediately. She just stood there and said in a cold tone, "No, I'm just passing by."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled softly, with a hint of teasing in her tone: "Yukinoshita-san, since you are here, why are you so reserved? Are you shy because of seeing so many of us?"

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at her, her tone still calm: "I just don't want to disturb your party."

Ying Lili curled her lips and muttered softly: "You obviously don't want to be with us, why are you making excuses..."

Seeing this, Xia Qiu quickly tried to smooth things over, "Yukinoshita, since you're here, let's have a lunch box together. I happen to have another one here."

As he said that, he picked up the extra lunch box and handed it to Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes lingered on the bento for a moment, then she shook her head calmly: "No need, I've already eaten."

Seeing this, Xia Qiu stood up, walked up to Yukinoshita, and looked sincerely into Yukinoshita Yukino's ice-blue eyes.

In the pupils, you can also see Xia Qiu’s own figure.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the handsome Xia Qiu, who was only thirty centimeters away from her, and could smell the scent of sunshine coming from him.

For a moment, I was dazed.

If it is true as my sister said, maybe I can be happy if I can be with Xia Qiu?

"Um?"

"Since you don't say anything, I'll take that as your consent."

Seeing that Yukinoshita Yukino was silent and absent-minded, Xia Qiu became curious, so he picked up the uneaten lunch box and stuffed it directly into her hand.

In an instant, Xia Qiu's fingers touched the warm and cool jade hand under the snow, and he only had one feeling, Xiaorun, and a ripple began in his heart.

There really is not a single flaw on a very beautiful person.

The moment Xia Qiu touched Yukinoshita Yukino's hand, it was as if she was hit by an electric current. Her body stiffened slightly and the lunch box in her hand almost slipped.

She quickly pulled her hand back, her cheeks flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turned her face away.

"Thanks."

After thanking in a hurry, Yukinoshita Yukino's heart beat faster. She hurriedly found a secluded corner, still brainstorming.

He... How could he do this? How could he just touch my hand so casually...

Yukinoshita Yukino was very shy, and at the same time annoyed by her own reaction.

What on earth am I doing? How could I lose my composure so easily...

In fact, Yukinoshita Yukino was not planning to come to the rooftop at first, but when she saw Xia Qiu, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri coming up to the rooftop one after another, she felt a little awkward.

For some unknown reason, he followed behind me.

At this time, Xia Qiu had already sat back to his original position, but the soft flesh around his waist was hurt.

"Hiss, this technique is getting more and more powerful."

Xia Qiu held his breath and turned his head, just in time to meet Ying Lili's big blue eyes, which seemed to be filled with flames.

Ying Lili glared at Xia Qiu with gritted teeth, "You said you were eating by yourself, but it turns out you were waiting for someone to come. You big idiot!"

"Eh, no way, this isn't just fate, there's really no other meaning."

Xia Qiu explained with a wry smile while rubbing the soft flesh on his waist.

After hearing this explanation, Ying Lili still didn't believe it. She snorted and didn't want to pursue it further.

"Humph, who knows if you did it on purpose..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing next to her, watched the entire scene and said lightly, "Junior brother, your damn charm, can it melt even an iceberg?"

"But when will you change your habit of being so lenient?"

Xia Qiu heard the warning in the senior's words and touched his nose helplessly, "Senior, please believe me, I..."

Before Xia Qiu could finish speaking, Isshiki Caiyu on the other side looked excited, with gossip gleaming in her eyes.

She couldn't help but be anxious, so she put down the snacks in her hand, moved closer to Xia Qiu, and asked curiously, "Xia Qiu, you are so gentle. Yukinoshita's reaction just now was really interesting. This is the first time I saw her blushing."

When Yinglili heard what Issiroya said, she was even more furious. She glared at Xia Qiu fiercely, then looked at Issiroya and said unhappily, "Humph, someone is really amazing. He is going to wipe out all the high-ranking girls in one fell swoop."

Xia Qiu sighed helplessly and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Okay, okay, Eriri, please stop making things difficult for your fellow student."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and said, "It was just a small encounter. Maybe Yukinoshita-san just came to the rooftop to get some fresh air."

As she spoke, she looked towards the corner where Yukinoshita Yukino was, with a hint of scrutiny in her wine-red eyes.

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino was sitting in the corner of the rooftop, looking down at the lunch box, her fingers gently stroking the edge, and the touch of that moment just now kept replaying in her mind.

"Xia Qiu classmate...what exactly does that mean?"

Yukinoshita Yukino thought to herself, then looked up and glanced at Xia Qiu in the distance, and found that he was surrounded by Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, with a helpless smile on his face, as if explaining something.

An inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in Yukinoshita Yukino's heart, like sourness and loss.

"What do I care about?"

She whispered to herself, trying to calm herself down. However, her mind couldn't help but recall what her sister Yukinoshita Haruno had said -

"Yukino, you always lock yourself in a cold world and don't want others to get close to you. But one day, you will meet someone who can make your heart beat. When that time comes, don't miss it."

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head, trying to shake these words out of her mind.

But, it got deeper instead.

At the beginning, Xia Qiu was indeed just a passer-by in life.

But as their interactions slowly increased, it seemed that the image of Xia Qiu in her mind gradually became clearer.

Especially the accelerated heartbeat just now, which she couldn't ignore.

At the same time, in order to avoid being questioned by Ying Lili, Xia Qiu decisively chose to change the subject.

"By the way, what are your plans during your study period?"

As soon as the words fell, Eriri's attention was successfully diverted.

She blinked her eyes, temporarily put aside her "interrogation" of Xia Qiu, and said excitedly: "The beach! The beach! I have wanted to go to the beach for a long time! I heard that the beaches in Okinawa are great, with fine and soft white sand, blue water like gemstones, and many water sports to play, such as diving and surfing. Just thinking about it is exciting!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha elegantly lifted her hair, took a sip of the juice in her hand, with a faint smile on her lips, and spoke slowly.

"Okinawa is indeed nice, but I think Kamakura's seaside has its own unique flavor. There is the romantic Shonan Beach and the youthful Enoden Railway, which runs along the coastline. Just sitting on the train and looking at the scenery can make people feel happy."

When Isshiki Iroha heard this, her eyes were filled with excitement. "Kamakura! That's the filming location of Slam Dunk! It would be great to go there! You can also check out the scenes in the anime, and maybe you can meet a basketball boy as handsome as in the anime! Xia Qiu, what do you think?"

She looked at Xia Qiu with anticipation, little stars twinkling in her eyes.

Xia Qiu smiled, with a warm smile on her face, and said, "Kamakura is indeed very charming, but the seaside scenery in Okinawa is also unique. Kato, where do you want to go more?"

His gaze turned to Kato Megumi, his eyes full of tenderness.

Kato Megumi smiled gently and said softly, "It's fine with me. As long as I can be with everyone, whether it's Okinawa or Kamakura, I'll be very happy.

But if I have to say, Kamakura’s cultural atmosphere and anime sentiment seem to be more attractive to me.”

Xia Qiu nodded, then smiled and looked at the silent Yukinoshita Yukino, and asked softly: "Yukinoshita-san, are you planning to go to the beach for the school trip? If we go to Kamakura, are you willing to join us?"
