Zongman: Yinglili, this is just a deal

Bai Nianyu ignored Kasumigaoka Shiyu and took a book from the bookshelf at random, then walked to the window seat in the library and sat down.

Of course, it was definitely not the book with the rich woman’s contact information that he wanted to get before, but another one.

Bai Nianyu, who was sitting at his seat, looked at the front desk. It was still empty. He couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he would have to stay in this library for a while.

"It turns out that this dog-licking junior has the skill of ignoring others."

At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha still sat down opposite Bai Nianyu without giving in.

"If you are really bored, do you want me to recommend a club to you?"

"Hmm? Junior, you actually participate in the club's recruitment. This is really rare."

"If this is your request, then... I will give you the opportunity to invite me."

Bai Nianyu covered his head and sighed helplessly.

"It's not a request... Never mind..."

Bai Nianyu actually didn't take the issue of the members of Rikka Takanashi's club to heart at all. It's not that he didn't care, but that this issue was not a big deal at all.

There are just three people, two of them are homeless people, and the remaining one can be easily found.

So he actually had no intention of letting Kasumigaoka Utaha join the club, he just wanted to raise this question to shut her up.

After all, he knew Kasumigaoka Utaha very well. She was a talented player, a popular novelist, and her grades were always among the top in the grade. She just slept in class and basically did not participate in any club activities.

Normally, this kind of person would not join any clubs, but...what's with that interested look on his face?

"It was Rikka who wanted to create a club, but now they are still short of a few more people to form it."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded: "Kato Yamato-san..."

Because they went to the same junior high school and because of Bai Nianyu, Kasumigaoka Utaha also knew about Rikka Takanashi, but she just didn't know her very well.

"Senior, do you still remember her?"

"Of course, after all, that incident happened a few years ago in school and almost everyone knew about it."

"As the person involved in that incident, I have a deep impression of Ms. Kotori."

Bai Nianyu originally wanted to continue what Kasumigaoka Utaha said, but at this time he saw the library front desk staff coming back.

"Sorry, I have to do some work."

Bai Nianyu didn't care about the topic anymore, put down the book in his hand, and hurried to the front desk.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled, took out her cell phone, and took a picture of Bai Nianyu's back.

"Why are you so obsessed with that golden retriever?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu talked to herself, as if asking Bai Nianyu why he did this, or as if complaining.

After a long while, Bai Nianyu returned to his original position with a speechless expression on his face.

"what happened?"

"If you're not hiring anymore, just tear up the job posting immediately."

Bai Nianyu complained that it was a waste of time for him to sit here for so long.

Listening to Bai Nianyu's words, Kasumigaoka Shiyu raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Junior, are you looking for a job? Does the school allow this?"

"There are so many things that the school doesn't allow."

“That’s right…”

"But what about that golden-haired tsundere?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm? The licking dog junior has come out to work, and the golden retriever tsundere has been chased away by someone else, what should I do?"

"What does it have to do with me?"

Hearing Bai Nianyu's words, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't believe it, and even her pupils dilated slightly.

Although they haven't seen each other for several months, they are in the same school after all, so Kasumigaoka Utaha can still receive some news.

Clearly, these days, Kasumigaoka Utaha could still hear about the things going on between Bai Nianyu and Sawamura Eriri from the girls in her class.

But now hearing from the person involved...why does it feel like things have changed a little?

Are they having conflicts? No... With their relationship, what conflicts can there be? To put it nicely, he is a pursuer, to put it bluntly, he is a bootlicker, not even a friend.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked around. She felt that this news was a bit explosive, and it came out of nowhere.

She was even afraid that this was a trap set by Eriri Sawamura in order to get back the ground she had lost to her before.

"Fellow student, this isn't some kind of order from the master, right?"

When Bai Nianyu heard what Kasumigaoka Shiyu said, he almost spit blood on the other person's face. He patted his chest and replied unhappily.

"Isn't it just that the dog licker doesn't want to lick anymore? Why are you acting like it's the end of the world, with such a look of disbelief on your face?"

Hearing the other party's answer, a different emotion suddenly surged in Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart, but she suppressed it well.

"Can you tell me why?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked cautiously.

Bai Nianyu stood up from his seat and picked up the book he had just borrowed.

After hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's question, he thought for a while.

Finally, he came up with a perfect reason that would not expose the contract and would not affect himself.

"Senior should know the name Kashiwagi Eri."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded.

"That golden retriever's tsundere pen name. She even threatened me at the time that if I told anyone about it, she would fight me to death."

"How did you know?"

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know why Bai Nianyu asked this, she answered truthfully after recalling for a while.

"I came across her by chance, and her painting style is also very unique."

"By the way, why are you asking these questions? You should know the name Kashiwagi Eri better than I do, right?"

Bai Nianyu smiled, then slowly shook his head.

"No, no, no, senpai... Sawamura-kun never mentioned this name to me."

Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up from her seat in disbelief and began to recall the various scenes in which the three of them had been together in the past.

It seemed that when the three of them were present, no one uttered the four words "Kashiwagi Eri", but Kasumigaoka Utaha and Bai Nianyu mentioned it in private.

At that time, Kasumigaoka Utaha thought that Bai Nianyu knew this name because Sawamura Eriri told him, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Bai Nianyu continued.

"In her eyes, I didn't know she was drawing an 18+ book, or even that she was a senior ACG artist."

"Her persona in front of me now is the same as her persona in school."

"The kind of cool young lady who drinks black tea and reads magazines on the balcony."

When Bai Nianyu said these words, there was even a hint of loneliness on his face. He was not pretending. After all, he really felt a sense of failure in his heart.

However, that feeling of loneliness soon dissipated. After all, he couldn't be said to really like Eriri Sawamura. It was just a contract.

One gets emotions, the other gets material things. Neither of them owes the other anything, and he has no right to blame others.

Seeing Kasumigaoka Shiyu standing there in a daze, Bai Nianyu did not say anything else. Instead, he put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf and left quietly.
