Feeling that the atmosphere wasn't quite right, the boy who was speaking teasingly suddenly stopped,
Looking at the girl who suddenly stopped moving and stood there with her head lowered and her body trembling slightly, Mu Xiaoxiao opened his mouth, realising something was wrong.
It seems she was broken.
Well, she must have been furious.
However, just as he was trying to find a way to comfort her, he saw water droplets dripping from the girl's hair and bangs.
He was stunned before he saw the blond girl raise her head fiercely and heard her shout in an aggrieved voice, "Mu Xiaoxiao, you idiot! Big idiot!"
Her eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face.
"..."
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
"I told you not to look, you idiot!!" Sakuramiya Hinata's voice had obvious fluctuations and a hint of crying.
"I was joking with you just now. Well, I didn't intend to threaten you, nor did I intend to expose it.
Your reaction... was a bit intense."
Why are you still crying?
'This is probably the first girl, I've ever made cry.'
Of course, Izumi Nogami doesn't count..that was little green's fault.
Little Green: "..."
"The way you are now makes me feel like I'm even more excessive than Tachikawa,"
Mu Xiaoxiao touched her forehead, "Don't, don't cry, it's my fault."
Sakuramiya Hinata sniffed and turned her head away.
"You are my senior. Don't you think it's too shameful to cry in front of your juniors. Anyway, please wipe them off~"
"It has nothing to do with this," the girl wanted to wipe her tears with his clothes, but Mu Xiaoxiao dodged it.
When their eyes met, the boy sighed helplessly and stared at the girl's delicate face for a long time.
In the end, he stretched out his fingers to gently wipe the faint tears from the corners of her red eyes and cheeks.
The touch of his warm hand on her skin made Hinata's body tremble slightly, as if her heart was melting.
She quickly turned her head to cover up the throbbing, "No, don't touch me~."
As soon as she said the words, she felt a little regretful and continued, "And those photos, delete them, all of them, delete them all!"
"Fine, Fine, Delete, I'll delete them as you say, here you go."
Seeing him delete the photos on his phone and handing over the photo in his hand, Sakuramiya Hinata calmed down a little as she quickly took it; looking at the photo of herself and her sister....she touched her own cheek, the place he had just touched.
'Who is afraid of your threats, idiot.'
'I just... don't want you to see me like this.'
'Not with someone else, even if it is .'
"I have nothing to do with your sister, don't worry," Mu Xiaoxiao said in a very serious tone, "Besides, I'm not interested in you sisters."
"..."
Sakuramiya Hinata's lips were bitten with marks.
'Why do you have to say something so hurtful..?'
"She invited me to lunch because of your business. She said something was wrong with you after you came back from the club activity we had in the old school building.
She said that you were deliberately avoided her, so she came to me to ask. By the way, is there such a thing?"
So that's how it is.
I see.
"It has nothing to do with you, you are not interested in us anyway."
Sakuramiya Hinata avoided the question and looked at her toes with a faint look.
She actually didn't know how to talk about it.
After returning from the old school building, something was wrong with her... She knew this.
In her mind, she would always think about this bad guy... although he is very bad, he is also very good.
She kept calling him a pervert..
And then the shock she got from eavesdropping that night...although that incident was quite shocking, it didn't make her feel so irritated, at least compared to the incident in the photography department with those disgusting men.
'It's not like I can't accept Xiaoxiao, he isn't that bad, at least he is much better than them... Ahhh, what am I thinking!'
In short, the most impressive thing about that night was the peeking from behind——
The picture of him and the girl together under the stars in the night sky.
Hiding in the shadows, seeing Mu Xiaoxiao and Serizawa Yukiha cuddling together...she felt her heart tighten, as if being grabbed and kneaded by invisible hands, sometimes painful, sometimes melancholic.
She didn't know why.
After coming back, she became somewhat uncomfortable with her sister... It's not that their relationship was bad, of course, Saya nee was still an important sister to her, and that hadn't changed. But... just a sister.
The two people used to be inseparable, but now Hinata was a little uncomfortable with it, so she subconsciously kept a certain distance from Sakuramiya Saya...
"And also... that thing, that doesn't count as kissing," the girl whispered, "the photo was just a touch out of curiosity... Saya-nee and I haven't tried it a few times. "
They have only tried it a few times and that was just because they were curious about the thing between loved...but
'There is no comparison with the kisses you had with Kasumi-san and Yukiha-san.'
That kind of real kiss, I suddenly want to have it with him...
"Why are you telling me this?"
Mu Xiaoxiao was confused.
Hinata glared at him, turned to leave, but was pulled back by him.
"Wait, I have something for you,"
The boy stretched out his hand, and a delicate ring appeared in his palm.
Seeing this, Sakuramiya Hinata was shocked.
The girl's expression changed wildly, sometimes shocked, sometimes shy, nervous and entangled, etc.
Her face was hot, and she stuttered in her words "Mu Xiaoxiao, what do you mean, why are you giving me this..."
'I have seen Akane and the others wearing these rings. :
'He doesn't want me to be his...'
'Me, do I have to agree? Or refuse?
'This kind of thing... is too fast, no, no, no.'
"This is something to treat your sister's foot injury. It is a one-time item and will break after use."
"...ah?"
Stunned.
It turned out to be just a healing tool?!
"No one else can use this thing, but I gave you permission. You can use it to treat Saya-senpai, but I won't go there... Hey, Hinata-san, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that she was in a daze, Mu Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand in front of her and waved it.
"I see."
After coming back to her senses, she gently picked up the ring from his hand with an expressionless face.
Her small hand trembled slightly, and Sakuramiya Hinata tried to calm herself, covering her chest, before she turned around to leave.
Her eyes and peripheral vision could not help but glance back.

In the locker room, Sakuramiya Saya has been waiting here for a while.
"Hinata... Where is Mu-kun?"
"He had something to do, so he left, and the clothes have been sent back." Sakuramiya Hinata sat down next to her sister, "Sister Saya, you'd better go to the infirmary to have your feet bandaged, Xiao... Mu kun, I don't think, he would have time to come today."
'I actually lied and even deceived my sister with whom I had the best relationship with... Now I have become a bad girl.'
Hinata felt very guilty.
Really guilty.
"That's fine, it's not very serious anyway. Just bandage it, there's no need to bother him," Sakuramiya Saya didn't know the complicated thoughts in her sister's heart.
"Well...I'll take good care of Saya nee."
"It's not that exaggerated. I guess a day's rest will be enough."
Looking at her sister's usual smile, something she could see almost every day, but this time it was filled with self-blame and guilt, Sakuramiya Hinata couldn't even bring herself to meet her sister's gaze, so she could only try to look away.
Where Saya couldn't see her, she quietly held the ring tightly in her hand, her heart beating faster.
I don't want to lose this ring, this ring he gave me...
Saya nee, I'm sorry...
