For ordinary people, having more friends should be a good thing, but for some people, only having a few friends is enough.
And Chu Xiaotian is such a person. After all, he is not worried about how bad his future direction will be.
Among the people he currently knows, there are only three people he can call friends.
Probably... there may be another Ishida Dahei in the future.
At least Chu Xiaotian doesn't hate him, and Ishida Dahei, who is familiar with him, is very suitable to be a friend in all aspects.
Kiryu Hyouichi.
The student council president, objectively speaking, is exactly what Ishida Dahei said in every aspect. He is an almost perfect person.
It should be considered very lucky to have such a friend.
Chu Xiaotian thought it was good, so he didn't refuse it yesterday.
off day.
It was a hot summer day. Chu Xiaotian went out wearing casual clothes and a hat. Occasionally he wanted to eat some snacks and buy some cooking wine for his family, so he went to a convenience store.
convenience store.
“Thank you for your patronage!”
This is the professional quality of the store clerk.
Chu Xiaotian walked out of the convenience store and saw two people as soon as he turned the corner. However, the two people were talking about something and did not notice him.
Chiba and...Hyouichi Kiryu?
Chu Xiaotian subconsciously hid around the corner and listened quietly.
Chiba spoke first: "Thank you, senior, for being willing to accompany me to the shrine."
Having said that, there is the shrine on the mountain here, and he did hear Chiba say that she occasionally comes to this shrine.
Kiryu Hyouichi smiled and shook his head, saying: "It doesn't matter. Although the shrine here is a bit shabby, it is also a place I have come to often since I was a child."
Does this guy come to this shrine often?
Chu Xiaotian was also a little surprised. He thought no one would come to this shrine.
Immediately afterwards, Chiba said: "I am still a little scared to come alone. I am very grateful that someone comes with me. Thank you."
After all, you can see ghosts. Although there have been fewer ghosts nearby recently, they still exist after all.
"It doesn't matter. You can inform me at any time when you come next time." Kiryu Bingyi smiled and waved the mobile phone in his hand, and said: "We can contact you by mobile phone."
Chiba smiled and nodded: "I plan to come here on my days off."
"Then let's make an appointment. Let's get together on the day off." Kiryu Bing nodded, and then said goodbye: "Okay, it's getting late. I'm going back, so you should go back early too."
Have you exchanged contact information?
After all, we are often together these days, which is a matter of course.
But...
If it's because a person is a little scared, then it's okay to call him, right? He's obviously very free, and there's no way Chiba doesn't know that.
Why not ask him to accompany you?
Could it be that compared to him, Kiryu Hyōichi can give Chiba a sense of security better?
In the eyes of others, this may be true.
Chu Xiaotian frowned slightly.
"ah!"
A scream brought Chu Xiaotian back to consciousness. He turned his head and saw that Qianye looked frightened.
"Xiao, Xiaotian? Why are you here! You scared me to death!"
"Well...I'm here to buy something."
Immediately afterwards, Qianye noticed something. She took a closer look and asked doubtfully: "You look a little bit in a bad mood. What's wrong?"
Chu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Nothing, are you going to a convenience store to buy something?"
"Well! Can you wait for me? I'll buy a bottle of water!"
"good."
So the girl ran into the convenience store and soon bought water and came out.
"let's go."
"Um."
The two of them walked on the way home together.
Chiba was wearing sun-protective sportswear and seemed to be in a good mood. She smoothed her wind-blown hair.
The girl is usually not in a particularly good mood, but she has become much better recently. The biggest reason for this is probably because there are fewer ghosts. Maybe there are also some... other reasons?
"Xiaotian, the weather is very nice today, but it's still a little hot."
"Well, it's a bit hot."
Chu Xiaotian responded casually.
Chiba suddenly remembered something, and she asked: "By the way, have you exchanged contact information with Kiryu-senpai?"
"No." Chu Xiaotian shook his head.
"That's it, I'll ask you next time." Chiba glanced at the boy next to him and said with a smile, "I also hope Xiaoda can make more friends."
Chu Xiaotian asked: "Why?"
"Why...? Making friends should be a good thing, right?" Chiba looked confused, and then she said: "But I also think friends are more valuable than others, but Kiryu-senpai is a very nice person, and neither are you.
Do you hate him?"
"It's not annoying."
Chu Xiaotian responded. He glanced at the smiling girl beside him and said, "Chiba, you are in a good mood recently. Is it because you have made some friends?"
Hearing this, Qianye also thought about it for a moment, and she smiled slightly: "There must be such a reason."
"What do you think of Kiryu-senpai?" Chu Xiaotian asked subconsciously.
"Kiryu-senpai?" Chiba fell into thinking and finally said: "After getting closer to each other recently, I feel that senior is indeed a very good person. He is friendly to everyone, and..."
Listening to the girl praising others, Chu Xiaotian was silent for a while. He interrupted her directly and asked: "Did you go to the shrine with him?"
"Huh? How do you know?"
Chiba looked at the young man in surprise, and then suddenly thought of something, she opened her eyes wide: "I see, were you eavesdropping there?"
Chu Xiaotian said frankly: "I'm just a little curious about what you are talking about."
"That's it."
Chiba didn't pay much attention to it. She smiled and said, "Yes, Kiryu-senpai seems to have been going to the shrine frequently because of his family since he was a child."
Chu Xiaotian asked calmly: "We made an appointment to go together today?"
"Ah? I just happened to meet him on the road today." Qianye blinked.
Chu Xiaotian asked again: "Why don't you call me?"
"What?"
This question stunned Chiba and she stopped.
Chu Xiaotian stopped after taking a few steps. He turned around and looked at the girl.
The glow of dusk was blocked and shone on this winding path from the side. However, for the boy with his back to the sun, the front looked very dim.
"Obviously, as long as you tell me, I will accompany you. Do you think, Chiba, that Kiryu-senpai is better?"
These words made Chiba tremble all over. She felt a little flustered for no reason, so she quickly said: "Next time, next time, I will definitely tell Xiaoda!"
"Next time, don't you have an appointment with Kiryu-senpai?"
Chiba was speechless after hearing this. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something else, but she didn't know what to say.
After a long silence, Chu Xiaotian turned his head and glanced at the sky, then turned around and left: "It's getting late, let's go home."
The girl stood there, her head a little confused for a moment.
So much so that the two of them didn't walk back together in the end.
