The cold in winter is still severe, and whenever the dry north wind blows, the glass of the windows will rattle.
During the lunch break in the classroom, the temperature seemed to have dropped a bit.
Fortunately, relying on the dual blessing of heating and air conditioning, the indoors are full of warmth, giving people the illusion that spring has arrived early.
Considering that ten days have passed since the beginning of spring, there seems to be no problem with this statement.
The atmosphere of spring is also spreading inside the classroom.
The boys either kept wandering around the classroom, or sat in their seats looking around uneasily. The number of people going to the cafeteria to eat was greatly reduced, and there was a vague sense of restlessness in the class.
As the shortest month of the year, February also has its own unique features, that is -
"I said, I said~ Have you prepared chocolates for Valentine's Day today?"
The cheerful voice of the girl cheered up many of the drowsy boys, who deliberately spoke loudly.
"Ah, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel like eating something sweet. It would be great to have that at this time."
A certain boy said while fiddling with his hair, and several other boys slapped their thighs in agreement and agreed.
"exactly!"
"That's it!"
"You want to say that, right?"
Like frogs and snakes waking up from hibernation.
The boys looked at me and I looked at you, squinting back and forth, and then answered in unison with a tacit understanding.
"""For example...chocolate or something?"""
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone winked at each other with a "good job" expression, and then glanced at the girl casually, the look of anticipation on their faces was palpable.
"……ha?"
In such an exciting atmosphere, Li Xiang, who was the first to start the conversation, frowned openly and crossed her arms in front of her chest to make an X.
"Why are you boys looking at us like this? I've agreed beforehand that I already have a boyfriend, so there's no point in giving me chocolates. I'll just give you some comfort at most."
Chiyo also raised a hand with a smile, "Me too~I'm sorry."
The boys were unmoved by this, their eyes vaguely and persistently staring at the end... no, or in other words, staring at the target they cared about the most.
In the window seat in the front row of the classroom, a cute girl was lying half-lying in Chiyo's arms.
She has glossy short hair, snow-white skin, a small face, slender limbs, and a pair of charming thighs covered under pure white knee-high socks. The whole person is like a small animal, which can easily arouse male protection.
want.
But such a petite and exquisite girl has breasts that are completely inconsistent with her face and make people's hearts flutter.
The two form an incredible contrast and exude a strong sense of presence.
At this moment, almost half of the boys were secretly staring at the girl.
"Wow~"
Chiyo pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, smiling at the girl in his arms and saying, "Everyone is looking at you, Xiaoxiang?"
"right……"
Shinjoka responded briefly, and her childish face and soft voice caused the boys to yell again.
"Oh hoo!"
"Shinjou-san is so cute."
"Like a doll."
"I really want to hug you too."
"Absolutely angelic."
"Although he can be harsh in his words sometimes, he is also a very cool angel with a poisonous tongue."
"Damn it, I really want Shinjo-san's chocolate."
"..."
It's not just them.
In fact, the whole classroom was filled with such warmth and delusion, as if everyone was looking forward to receiving chocolates from someone.
"——I said! The boys over there."
Urika put her hands on her waist unceremoniously and rolled her eyes at the boy who accidentally expressed her feelings.
"I advise you to give up. It's impossible for Shinjou-san to give you chocolates, so can you stop staring at this place? This is really stupid, so let's disperse."
The boys who had their thoughts exposed couldn't help but be startled, and turned red and looked at each other.
Some people were determined to refute something, but at this time all the attention of the class had gathered, so they had no choice but to shut their mouths angrily and disperse in embarrassment.
The noisy situation instantly became peaceful.
"Xiao Lixiang is so handsome~!"
Chiyo clapped her hands "Pah, pah, pah", while Rika sat down on the desk in the back row impatiently.
"Ah, these boys are really stupid and naive animals."
"Uh... if you say they are animals or something, they seem too pitiful, right?"
"Humph, who told them to be so optimistic? How is it possible to receive chocolates from the cutest girl in our class?"
"I understand, I understand, Xiaoxiang has a small face and is really cute."
"Hey~~how can such a thing happen?"
Shintiao Xiang casually responded to the teasing of two friends while scrolling through the circle of friends, without looking happy.
"Eh, isn't it? That's not the reaction here, is it?"
Chiyo said in an exaggerated tone and playfully poked her cheek with his finger.
"Wow! What is this!? Xiaoxiang's face is so soft and smooth! It's super comfortable!"
Li Xiang watched their interaction and interjected thoughtfully.
"So, don't you think Shinjou's skin seems to be getting better and better lately?"
"There are so many! So many! They are just like little babies!"
"Hey, is it that exaggerated?"
"That's not an exaggeration! If you don't believe it, please touch it, Xiao Lixiang."
"Oh~ Then I won't be a guest... Wow!? That's ridiculous! How can it be so comfortable? It feels like touching pearls?"
"Isn't it? It's incredible, and she's still fragrant and soft. I really want to take it home~"
"Hey, have you two had enough trouble?"
"No, wait, Xitiao, are you using any new skin care products? Please recommend them to us too!"
"As far as I'm concerned, it's facial cleanser and beauty cream."
"Liar, is this all?"
"That's the only way."
"Then what brand do you use? I'll buy it later and have a look."
"Ah, then I want it too, I want it too!"
"The facial cleanser is the one we bought together before. I don't know about the beauty cream."
"have no idea??"
Shinjo nodded sweetly, raising the corners of his mouth lonely.
"Because it was a gift from my father, and there was no logo written on it, so I didn't know."
""……What--?""
Countless question marks popped up on the heads of Li Xiang and Chiyo.
"Let me tell you, new article..."
"Didn't you say that you are a single-parent family...?"
"Pfft~"
Shinjoka laughed while hugging her belly, and the cantaloupe on her chest trembled, attracting countless eyeballs.
"It's true. If you don't believe it, I can take a photo of that thing and send it to you when I get home, but I'm not sure if I can buy it?"
"How disgusting, Xiaoxiang, you are just making fun of me, watch your moves~!"
"It's so irritating, so count me as one!"
After saying this, one of Chiyo and Rika clamped her neck, while the other started to tickle her angrily.
The three of them made a fuss, bursting into laughter like silver bells, but in the end, the one who was defeated was——
""--Can not accept.""
Chiyo and Rika looked at Shinjoka who easily suppressed them with stunned expressions, and spoke breathlessly.
"Xiao Qian, have you ever seen an example of a petite and cute girl who is as strong as a boy?"
"Not at all! When Xiaoxiang grabbed my wrist just now, I almost thought I was facing a boy."
"Can you win in an arm wrestling match with her? She seems to be stronger than the boys."
"Are you deliberately rubbing salt into other people's wounds?"
"OK, we won't lose if we don't fight. Let's surrender, Xiaoqian."
"Just do it, Xiao Lixiang."
"What are you talking about?"
Shinjoka looked sideways at the two friends who were singing along, and stretched out lazily without picking up her coat, which had been pulled under her shoulders during the play.
The amorous feelings revealed at that moment made even Chiyo and Rika, who were also girls, feel dazed for a moment.
"I always feel like... Xiaoxiang is like a completely different person."
"Really! If this continues, Shinjou's popularity may even increase, and he may win the title of Miss Toyosaki at the next school anniversary."
"Hmm~ This seems a bit... I heard that even many senior boys went to the next class to talk to Sawamura-san today. Everyone is competing for her chocolates."
"That person... Although I feel sorry for Shinjou when I say this, I have never seen a girl prettier than Sawamura-san, but Shinjou is the cute type, so it doesn't matter at all."
"Actually, you don't need to comfort me so tactfully?"
Shinjoka tilted her head with a smile and joined in the conversation.
"Sawamura-san is not only cute, but she also has an easy-to-get-together personality. It is normal for her to be popular. I know my position and have never thought about competing with her."
""...""
Chiyo and Rika looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Shintiao Xiang didn't care what they were thinking, he took out several beautifully packaged chocolates from his drawer and placed them on the table.
"Speaking of which, I received some chocolates from someone today. Do you want to choose some and take them away?"
""other people?""
"Well, after all, am I not the publicity and discipline committee member of the student union? Some girls I often interact with at work gave me chocolates."
"It turns out it's friendship chocolate..." Li Xiang muttered: "This kind of thing should be explained clearly as soon as possible. I thought someone gave you the life chocolate."
"No, no, no, generally speaking no one would do that, right? Xiao Lixiang." Chiyo smiled bitterly and complained: "Don't you think it's a bit scary to receive natal chocolate from someone of the same sex?"
The two of them were talking while selecting the chocolates on the table.
"Well... even though I know they are friendship chocolates, Xiaoxiang received so many of them, I'm so envious."
"Really... by the way, there are also hand-made chocolates here. Isn't it too wasteful to use them as friendship chocolates?"
"Hey~~~Xiao Lixiang, what do you mean by that?"
"Because hand-made chocolates feel a bit heavy, right? If you don't give this kind of thing to someone with whom you have a good relationship... I can understand the feelings of people who don't want to accept it."
"Hmm~~ It's true that it feels a bit scary to receive chocolates from people you don't know."
"Right?"
Li Xiang nodded in agreement and looked to the side.
"You mean Shintiao, can these chocolates really be shared with us?"
"Well, here you go."
Shinjoka said casually: "I can't finish it by myself anyway, so it doesn't matter if you take them all."
"...Is that so? Why do you look so uninterested?"
Shintiao Xiang: "Nothing."
Chiyo on the side thought for a while, then came up to him with a joking look on his face, and said in a measured tone: "You miss a man, right~?"
Before the master could speak, Li Xiang waved her hands repeatedly.
"After all, Shinjou doesn't have a boyfriend, and she says she's not interested every time I ask her to join a social gathering. Have you forgotten about it, Qian-chan?"
"is that so……?"
Chiyo tilted her head slightly, looked at Shinjoka who didn't explain, and said, "But, even if you don't go out to socialize, it doesn't mean you're not interested in men, right?"
"Hey, is what Xiaoqian said true? Shintiao."
"Hmm~~~What exactly is it?"
Shintōka made a long note in an ambiguous manner, which aroused Rika's dissatisfaction.
"To be honest, I've wanted to ask you for a long time. What are your current standards for choosing a mate? Tell us about it, too!"
Shintiao Xiang smiled and said nothing, and couldn't help but think of Shiyu's WeChat Moments on her birthday.
As an intelligence officer who always pays attention to everything around that person, she already knew that the other person would definitely celebrate Shiyu's birthday.
However... when she actually saw the set of photos, she was still frightened by the exaggerated pomp and circumstance.
Out of curiosity, she did some research online.
Although helicopter sightseeing charges different fees depending on the specific route, the price for the route that can go to Yokohama Port is a full 200,000.
The situation is similar for luxury cars, with the average price on the market being around 50,000.
But at first glance, the rose gift box seems inconspicuous, but its background is surprising and shocking.
"ROSE GALLERY" - It is an affordable luxury flower shop opened in Ginza, and the products in it are all expensive.
The model that person gave to Shi Yu was the best in the store, and the price was actually comparable to the previous helicopter tour, which was also as high as 200,000.
When she saw the price, she was completely stunned. She even exclaimed, "Liar, are these people selling gold!?" regardless of image, which shocked Xiao Xi who was cooking.
Helicopter, limousine, roses, the total of the three is 450,000.
It is really hard to understand that such a large amount of money is spent and only a few hours of scenery are obtained.
But... maybe that's just her old-fashioned thoughts hidden under her envy.
This is the case with some things. People on the outside are always unable to understand the mood of the person involved and can only express some meaningless thoughts through photos.
For example, "One date is a month's salary for Xiao Xi and I", "As expected of being recognized as a real girlfriend", "Will the president remember my birthday" and so on...
I can’t tell whether it’s emotion or expectation, or the loneliness of admiring the flowers in the moon mirror in the water.
She thought about this indifferently, and then she felt self-deprecating for her own whims.
‘Well~ Actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember, as long as you give them a little more pocket money~’
Shinjoka curled her hair with her fingers, lowered her eyes quietly, and said jokingly:
"Hmm~~~ If someone is willing to give me flowers from the "ROSE GALLERY" store and take me on a sightseeing helicopter ride and a limo, I will be very happy."
""--What?""
The two friends made silly noises, and then simultaneously took out their mobile phones and started searching.
after awhile.
"Wow! So expensive——!!"
"Are you kidding me? What's going on in this flower shop? A flower is selling for 50,000 yen! Are they selling gold!?"
"That's it! But...this flower is so beautiful..."
"Hey, although I understand how you feel..."
Li Xiang grabbed her hair in frustration and complained angrily:
"Shinjo, seriously, those requirements are beyond the reach of ordinary high school students. Do you want to find a rich uncle to date?"
Shinjoka winked mischievously, tilted her head slightly and replied: "Guess~"
"Huh?"
Seeing her ambiguous attitude, Chiyo couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise, "Really or not? Xiaoxiang, are you serious?"
"How is that possible? Of course it's a lie~"
Shinjoka smiled and covered her mouth with the sleeves that covered half of her palms, and said: "Unfortunately, compared to uncles, I only like super handsome boys with strong bodies~"
"Wow...you still like to tease people like you always have."
Chiyo said as if she couldn't bear it:
"Besides, if there really was a unicorn man with such high standards, he would have been robbed of his head long ago, just like President Kato."
Her unintentional words made Li Xiang sigh sadly.
"That's it. President Kato doesn't look like a real person at all. It's fine for a prince to just watch it. Ordinary people don't have the chance."
"Ah, but...if I'm very lucky, even if I can't get his heart, it would be nice to get his body~"
"It's so funny! Xiaoqian, what are you daydreaming about? Do you think you are as cute as Shinjou?"
"That's too much!?"
Shinjoka looked at the two of them with a smile, but she was thinking about completely unrelated things.
'Is there any chance that I can have a tutoring session with the president during the camp next weekend...'
At this moment, a loud and unhappy voice suddenly came from the back door of the classroom.
