"Natsume?" The girl opposite had a little doubt in her quirky eyes. She asked while chewing shortbread, "What, do you know Mio-chan? What's your full name? What's your senior year and which faculty are you in?"

A series of questions that were like checking household registration made Izumi Mio feel dizzy, but she quickly thought of her words and it only took 0.5 seconds.

"My name is Natsume Naoki, and my major is the Department of Information Science and Engineering of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Not only do I know him, but you should also know me, Xiaohui."

Izumi Mio continued: "He came to the sports club before the summer vacation last year and wanted to join the club. You were there at that time. Don't you have no impression of it anymore?"

The girl named Xiaohui frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head: "I can't remember. There's no such thing, right? If there are such high-quality handsome guys in our club, how could I not have noticed them?"

"Natsume-kun, he failed the physical test because he failed," Izumi Mio reminded.

When she said this, Xiao Hui suddenly widened her eyes and suddenly realized: "Oh! I remembered it! It was the boy who took 12 seconds to run 50 meters! Then he measured 400 meters and didn't even finish!"

Then she turned around to look at Natsume Naoki, her mouth wide open in a very exaggerated and cute way.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, it's very rude." Izumi Mio quickly reminded.

"Is it really him? Has he changed so much?" Xiao Hui turned back with an incredulous expression on her face but still lowered her voice. She came close to Izumi Mio and said, "I remember that his hair was very long at that time, and he had no sense of presence.

He doesn't like to talk, he only answers questions and answers... Now I look like he's a different person."

"People should not be judged by their appearance. As you know, I don't like to judge people by their appearance." Izumi Mio said in a low voice.

"Oh, I know, I know, don't you just hate the kind of boys who come to harass you when they see you looking pretty?" Xiao Hui pursed her lips: "Then I am also a member of the Appearance Association, Mio-chan, you hate me too?"

"You know that's not what I meant," Izumi Mio shook her head: "It's not that I hate boys who come to chat with me, I just don't like certain cases."

Someone striking up a conversation shows that you have the capital to be struck up a conversation with.

It goes without saying to girls. If a boy suddenly walks on the street and a girl blushes and asks you for your contact information in a low voice, even if he is at a loss what to do, he will feel a little secretive in his heart.

What Izumi Mio hates is the kind of suitor who persists in pursuing him even after he has clearly rejected him. Even if there are nine gentlemen out of ten, the remaining one will be enough to give her a headache.

"Now that we know each other, it's easy. We have something to talk about when we strike up a conversation. Let's just say that we met last year and bumped into each other this year. It's fate! God's arrangement is the greatest, and no one can stop fate when it comes!"

Xiao Hui was eager to try and was already eating the shortbread at a faster pace.

She stuffed the shortbread into her mouth and said excitedly: "I'll eat it quickly. When he leaves later, I'll leave too, follow him, and then find a deserted road to start!"

"Xiao Hui, you are just like the robber who is planning to block the road and rob you. Why don't you surrender? And..."

Izumi Mio said softly: "The person opposite him is obviously his girlfriend, right?"

Xiao Hui was so excited that she could only see Natsume Naoki's face. After being poured cold water on by Izumi Mio, she noticed that there was a man sitting opposite him who was completely different in appearance and temperament.

A girl who is inferior to all the girls in the cafeteria.

The enthusiasm subsided little by little, and Xiao Hui finally stabbed the snack in front of her with her fork unwillingly, complaining in a low voice: "Ah! Ah! I knew that kind of boy is a hot commodity... he has been picked up long ago! Where can I find it?"

Is it my turn?"

Looking at Xiaohui's depressed look, Izumi Mio couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

What is going on with this feeling?

Is it jealousy caused by liking?

Far from it, she wasn't even sure whether Natsume-kun and she were friends, maybe not even acquaintances——

After all, if you meet an acquaintance, you can at least say hello and nod, right?

What's the reason?

Strangers wouldn’t feel empty because of something like this...

No, actually it will.

For example, if you see a very attractive girl wandering on the roadside, you will instinctively stop and look at her.

Even though it was the first time I met her, I would realize after a while that she was waiting for her boyfriend and I would sigh and move on.

It's like a fisherman who is used to seeing fish, shrimps and crabs in the shallows. He sees a golden carp flashing across the river from a distance. When he comes back to his senses and wants to look for it, he finds that the golden carp has been caught in the net.

middle.

Natsume Naoki couldn't hear what was being said at the next table, so he deliberately lowered his voice to prevent being overheard by Izumi Mio and Xiao Megumi.

But he still felt that it might not be good to be misunderstood by his senior sister.

"I was careless. After I got used to living with you at home, I didn't think too much about it."

Natsume Naoki looked at Asai Mao and said:

"It would be embarrassing for you to be misunderstood as a couple, right? You can't tell everyone about our relationship openly, otherwise it would be too weird. A junior girl from the same major is a senior's personal maid or something. If word spread, it might be harmful to you.

reputation impact.”

"Indeed, don't tell anyone this."

There was actually no sound when Asai Mao was mumbling, which made Natsume Naoki wonder if she was not a neon person either.

"What about our relationship? At least we can't let others misunderstand us." Natsume Naoki asked.

"I have made up the rhetoric, please remember it firmly." Asai Mao looked into his eyes without lying at all, and stretched out two fingers.

"You and I were neighbors when we were young. We both went to the same kindergarten together. We had a falling out in the kindergarten because of a fight over toys. Later, I moved away with my parents, and we never saw each other again."

When mentioning her parents, Asai Mao's eyes fluctuated slightly.

But this fluctuation only lasted for a short time, and even Natsume Naoki, who was facing him, did not notice it.

Natsume Naoki scratched his head. This statement seemed to be true. She was indeed a professional maid. Sure enough, even her words had been prepared in advance.

"So my childhood sweethearts, who had a bad relationship with each other for a long time, fell apart again? We plan to bury the hatchet and become friends again, right?" Natsume Naoki cleared his throat.

Asai Mao tilted her head slightly, not understanding what this guy was planning to do.

"Speaking of which, we should be considered childhood sweethearts, right? After all, we were neighbors when we were children." Natsume Naoki's voice was a little louder, just enough to be heard by the table next door but not to the point of making a noise: "It's been so many years since we last met.

pass?"

Natsume Naoki's words really attracted the attention of Izumi Mio and Xiao Hui from the next table.

Asai Mao was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

It seems that my work is finally a little fun.
