Come Back Another Time

"Where should we go first?"

After entering the library, Ren asked Miku for her opinion.

He came here with her, so now, she had to make a decision.

"Let's go to the historical section and stroll around first, see if we can find any new books."

After looking around the inside of the library, Miku made a decision.

She came here to see if the school introduced new books about the Warring States Period. It made sense for her to choose the historical section.

Even though the fastest way to find new books was to ask the librarian directly, as long as she asked, she could easily find out if the book she wanted was available.

But her goal wasn't just to come here to read but to spend more time with him.

She knew Nino had a date with him yesterday.

Yesterday, Nino used the excuse of wanting to go on a date with him and didn't continue teaching her cooking.

And she also wanted to go on a date with him, but she couldn't invite him on a date, so she had to find another way.

Then, she heard the news that the library had introduced new books, so she used this as an excuse to invite him to the library.

Even though it wasn't a date, she was happy enough to be alone with him.

"Yes."

Seeing that she had made a decision, Ren followed her to the historical section to see if there were any books that interested him.

"Ren, are you worried about the final exam?"

While looking at the books on the shelf, Miku brought up a hot topic among students lately.

"Not worried."

After Ren said this, he suddenly guessed something and asked proactively, "Are you worried you won't do well in the final exam?"

"How did you know?"

Miku was very surprised that Ren suddenly said what she was thinking.

"Guess."

Ichika had taken the initiative to discuss this topic with him before, and now Miku was also talking about it; it was hard not to think about it.

"Amazing, your guess is very accurate." Miku sighed.

"It doesn't matter if you don't do well in the exam, as long as you make progress, there's no burden on your heart."

After the last experience, Ren spoke very fluently now.

"If you don't do well on the exam, I will still give you lessons, and I won't scold you for it. Don't worry."

"This..."

His words indeed relieved the pressure on her heart.

But isn't Ren too skilled?

Before she could say anything, he had already explained various consequences clearly.

"To much."

Ren was initially pleased with his cleverness, hearing Miku's unsatisfied voice.

"Did I go too far?" Ren asked hastily.

He didn't do anything, and he would never admit it if he was accused of being excessive without reason.

"It's too much. Even before I finish talking, you just talk too much that I can't even say what I originally wanted to say." Miku pouted and complained, "Ren is a mean person."

"Sorry." Ren apologized.

Due to his experience, he got carried away, ignored Miku's feelings, and did too much.

"I have to eat matcha ice cream to forgive you." Miku stated her own condition.

"Okay, I'll buy it for you when I come back."

If ice cream could make Miku forgive him, Ren would definitely do it.

"I don't want to eat it now." Miku refused.

"Then when? In the evening?"

Ren thought it was because she considered lunchtime too short to enjoy her food.

"I haven't thought about it. Besides, you only owe me ice cream."

Miku didn't give a specific time but chose to postpone.

"Yes."

It was just owing ice cream; it wasn't a big deal.

Ren still owed Nino an unpaid reward.

It didn't matter if he owed one more now.

"Go over there and look. There are no interesting books for me here."

After scanning the books on the bookshelves on both sides, Miku found that they were all books she didn't like to read, so she decided to move.

"Um."

Ren had no opinion at all on this matter.

It meant he rarely had an opinion on other things.

"Ren, please help me get that book; I can't reach it."

As soon as she arrived here, Miku pointed to a book on the top shelf and called out to him.

At other times, when she found a book she was interested in but couldn't reach it, her first reaction was to find a small ladder specially provided by the library.

But now it was different; with Ren here, she just needed to ask him.

"This one?"

Ren reached out and took a book, then he confirmed it with Miku.

"That's it."

After receiving confirmation, Ren lowered the book and handed it to Miku.

Taking the book from his hands, Miku felt a little awkward.

She remembered the first time she met him was also in the library.

At that time, just like now, it was because of a book, and the book was also placed high, and she couldn't reach it; Ren lowered it for her.

The only difference was that the last time he lowered the book because he found it interesting, but this time he lowered the book because of her.

Thinking about this, Miku's mouth curved slightly.

"Is there any other book you want to get?" Ren asked next.

"There's none left."

Miku suddenly lost interest in the books that originally interested her. Instead, she stood in the middle of the bookshelf and asked Ren if he still needed help with those books.

"Let's go back; it seems like the class is about to start."

Taking out her phone and checking the time, Miku pulled him away from here.

Of course, the books in her hands were naturally borrowed by her.

"I don't have enough time; otherwise, I can shop again, and this time, I found an interesting book. If I had enough time, I would definitely find more."

After leaving the library, Miku seemed dissatisfied with the lack of time.

"It's okay; come back another time." Ren comforted.

"Come back another time?" Miku blinked, stared at him, and asked, "Then when will we come back?"

"After you finish reading this book, you can also borrow some more while returning that book."

Ren gave his opinion quite seriously.

"Okay, it's a deal. After I finish reading this book, you will come and accompany me to the library to borrow books." Miku bowed her head and said quickly.

"Um."
