As the sound rang out in the kitchen, everyone present immediately looked over there.

A girl from the class hurried in and after a few minutes opened the curtain and walked out with a look of relief on her face.

"I'm so sorry, dear guests."

The girl bowed apologetically to everyone and explained: "Our companion accidentally knocked on the table just now. He is fine now. I am really sorry for causing trouble to everyone."

Hearing this, people's faces showed expressions of understanding.

"So this is ah……"

"I thought something was wrong."

"scared me."

After a brief discussion, we stopped talking.

Kato Yusuke instinctively felt that something was wrong, and did not bother to study the things in his hands anymore, but looked towards the kitchen with a frown.

Yinglili seemed to have the same idea. While observing the scene of the incident frequently, she asked him worriedly:

"Hey, let me tell you, that sounds like Shinjo-san's voice just now, right? Is she okay?"

"have no idea."

"I'm so concerned...otherwise I'd better go and take a look." The girl said.

After all, everyone is a student union companion who gets along day and night. In this situation, if she doesn't check the situation, she will feel uneasy.

Thinking like this, Yinglili decided to take action.

However, the next second, Shinjoka walked out from behind the curtain.

She was holding a tray in her hands, the smile on her face looked the same as usual, and she walked slowly and legs together.

Compared with how he was jumping around before, the person involved was walking very slowly now, as if he was deliberately maintaining dignity.

"...I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Shinjoka placed the tray on the table, her voice slightly distorted.

"This is the black tea and potato chips you ordered ~ Yinglili. This is your coffee, Master? ~"

Click, click, click, the hand holding the tea cup was trembling slightly.

Kato Yusuke raised his eyes and saw a pair of watery eyes, which seemed to be telling something affectionately.

What is this going on?

He couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling deeply puzzled.

Eiri asked with concern: "Are you okay? Shinjou-san, are you injured anywhere?"

"Yeah... no~ thank you, Eiriri." Shinjoka smiled and waved her hands, her breath slightly disturbed.

"Is that so...? But you made such a loud noise just now."

"Hmm, I'm sorry~ I just came into contact with a new product... um, so I'm a little confused, hey?~"

"...So that's it."

Eiriri nodded ignorantly, her eyes flickering over his face, and she blinked subconsciously, "Sure enough, Shinjou-san looks very cute in this outfit."

"Eh~ But I think Ying Lili is cuter? Everyone says they want to vote for you~"

"It's okay to vote, but I don't really care about it anyway. Didn't I mean to be polite just now? I was just telling the truth."

"Hehe, thank you then~ I'm so happy to be praised by Ying Lili~?"

Shinjou replied with a smile on his face, his whole person looked more juicy and sweet, exuding a buttery sweetness, mixed with a little charm...

"?"

Yinglili tilted her head slightly in confusion, her expression becoming confused.

"...That's strange. Should I say that Shinjou-san, have you got a boyfriend? You feel like you've become sexy all of a sudden?"

She couldn't help but feel very curious about this.

Of course, she wouldn't be surprised if Shinjoka really dated someone. In a sense, the cultural festival is the season for confessions.

Including herself, the number of advertisements she received in the past two days suddenly increased to an annoying level, but she rejected them all.

Although there are some boys among them who are both good in character and academics and have outstanding appearance, there is no one who can meet her basic requirements.

As for what are her basic conditions?

As I said before when I was teaching outside the school, a man who is not capable of setting up a stall in the upper gate area of ​​CM will not be able to arouse her interest.

——That's all.

There are not many people who can meet this condition, and there are even fewer people in schools.

Furthermore, even if we look at the entire industry, there are only a handful of organizations that can win the gate area at the CM Exhibition.

Even the club she spent several years running could only get a second-tier wall position.

Only a super-popular club like the one founded by Akane Kurisaka can remain in that area for a long time, and the difficulty is not that high.

However, Kato Yusuke is able to satisfy this requirement.

Although the other party did not follow the path of fan creation, the sales volume of the comics created by him have long been extremely popular.

…

"I got a boyfriend?"

Faced with her question, Shinjou Xiangpeng blinked her eyes and asked instead: "Ah haha, what about this? What about you Eiri-ri?"

"I??"

"Hmm~ Come to think of it, why are you walking with the master~?"

"Eh?"

A flash of panic flashed in Yinglili's eyes, she unconsciously shrank her shoulders and replied: "Ah, well... I have something to ask him about."

"So that's it~"

Shinjo Kaori agreed innocently, without revealing the insincerity of her words.

Yingli lowered her head guiltily and drank the black tea.

"If you have finished speaking..."

Kato Yusuke said at the right time: "I have something to give you, Shinjou."

Hearing this, the other party immediately looked over and said, "Hey~ give it to me??"

Kato Yusuke nodded lightly, then took out a white bath ball from his coat pocket and handed it over, "Thank you for taking care of Xiao Xi, this is a condolence gift for you."

Shinjoka opened her mouth slightly, her expression seemed a little surprised, and she didn't move for a while, but her eyes were slightly bright.

After a while, she took a gentle breath, moistened her pink lips with the tip of her tongue, and asked, holding on to her numbness, "Wow...can I take it?"

Kato Yusuke nodded in response, and Shinjoka gently stretched out her hand towards the bath ball.

The soft fingers slid across his palm as if inadvertently, and the nails traced lightly, causing an itch.

"Thank you master for the gift~I'm so happy~" she said with a smile.

Kato Yusuke calmly took back his hand, picked up the coffee and sipped it. …

Looking at this scene, Yinglili lowered her eyes unconsciously, and felt an inexplicable feeling of depression in her chest.

Although she knew in her heart that Kato Yusuke would not give gifts to just her, she still felt slightly uncomfortable.

At this moment, Shintiao Xiang suddenly came close to her ear.

"How is it~? Are you ready to confess your love to the president? Yinglili~"

"——?"

It was like a thunderclap in my ears.

After being stunned for a few seconds...

“Wha, what——!?”

Yinglili's eyes wavered violently, her face quickly turned red to her ears, and she reflexively wanted to stand up from her seat, but someone held her shoulders down.

"Shh~! Calm down a little first, Yinglili."

Shinjoka sealed her lips with an index finger, continued to bite her ear and said, "I just want to say, I wish you success~~~"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" - Yinglili wanted to reply like this, but her confused brain distorted her logic, and in the end she just stuttered out a few words.

"haha a……?"

Shinjoka smiled and said nothing, giving the other party a tacit wink.

But suddenly, a frightening trembling feeling rose from beneath her feet.

"Well--!"
