“Thank you, Classmate Yan Yan and Classmate Runhui, for this morning’s matter.”
“Not at all~~ We didn’t actually help with much. It was mainly thanks to you yourself, Classmate Siji. Don’t you think so, Classmate Runhui?”
“…Mm. It was all thanks to Classmate Siji himself.”
“Don’t say that. If you two hadn’t given me a push, I wouldn’t have been able to do it either. Thank you.”
During the midday break, the bento trio gathered on the rooftop, chatting about what had happened that morning.
Zhong Siji thanked them while neatly spreading out the things he had brought onto the mat.
His mood right now was extremely good.
Although it was still a bit hard to get used to for the moment, he finally no longer had to always be a wall-facer, and he had even taken that all-important first step.
He was still very curious, though, why Yan Yanyan could be so certain that the classmates would just laugh off his unreasonable actions.
In response, Yan Yanyan only smiled meaningfully.
“Perhaps Classmate Runhui would know the answer to this question better than I do.”
“Classmate Runhui?” Zhong Siji was completely bewildered.
The one who had vowed so confidently at the time was clearly Yan Yanyan, so why would Xu Runhui know better than her?
How could Xu Runhui not understand the meaning of Yan Yanyan’s words from that morning by now?
Based on Xu Runhui’s current understanding of Yan Yanyan, that sentence could be translated as follows: “Classmate Siji is super invincibly beautiful, dashing, and handsome. Everyone likes him. Even I feel a bit unworthy of him, let alone you, this shorty plus super big-chested girl, oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho~~”
This detestable scheming girl was clearly deliberately putting her down, forcing her to admit the vast difference between herself and Classmate Siji.
What dismayed Xu Runhui was that not only Yan Yanyan, but even Old Gao and Zaoling thought the same.
Probably even she herself thought so…
If only Classmate Siji had stayed the way he was before.
Only I would know Classmate Siji’s wonderful side.
No one else would know. My exclusive Classmate Siji… my Classmate Siji.
Eh?
What had she just been thinking?
Xu Runhui was terrified in her heart.
She had actually selfishly thought it would be better if Classmate Siji stayed alone the whole time, completely disregarding Classmate Siji’s own wishes, only wanting to satisfy her private desires…
Gah!
How could I, Xu Runhui, be this kind of person?
It must… it must be that something is controlling me!
She frantically shook her head, as if that could drive those dark thoughts out of her mind.
That’s right!
It must be the fault of these giant breasts that neither grandma nor grandpa loves!
It’s all because of them that I…
“Don’t you think Runhui actually looks pretty handsome too?”
“Eh? But she’s got giant breasts!”
“That’s true. Giant breasts really won’t do after all.”
It’s not like I wanted them to grow this big!
Xu Runhui dumped all the darkness in her heart onto those giant breasts of hers.
Looking at this pair of completely useless burdens that only brought trouble and would even block her from Classmate Siji…
Xu Runhui couldn’t help but fiercely punch her left chest.
With a muffled boink!, Xu Runhui fell to the ground in response.
“Aiyo! It hurts so much!”
The intense pain coming from her chest made Xu Runhui roll all over the ground in pain, and she even couldn’t hold back her tears.
Zhong Siji and Yan Yanyan both stared in shock.
What… what just happened?
Especially Zhong Siji.
He had only asked a question out of curiosity.
Did Xu Runhui need to react this strongly?
And if she didn’t want to say it she didn’t have to.
Did she need to hit herself that hard?
Yan Yanyan felt it even more personally and hugged her own chest with both hands.
Crazy!
Crazy!
Is that a place you can just hit randomly?
She hadn’t expected that this Xu Runhui wasn’t just an ordinary pervert, but a pervert with special fetishes!
She absolutely couldn’t let Classmate Siji fall into the hands of a freak like this!
“Are you okay, Classmate Runhui? What happened all of a sudden? Do you need me to take you to the infirmary?”
Zhong Siji grabbed Xu Runhui’s hand and helped her up.
The warm, gentle sensation from his palm instantly cleared Xu Runhui’s originally chaotic mind.
The moment she thought of the stupid thing she had just done, she couldn’t help but start stammering.
“Si… Classmate Siji, I… I’m fine. I… I just… just…”
Just what?
She couldn’t say something like she had beaten it because she hated her own chest.
“Alright, alright. I think Classmate Runhui probably just felt some tightness in her chest and pounded it a bit. It’s nothing serious. Right, Classmate Runhui?”
“Yes, yes, yes. That’s it. I feel much better now. I’m fine, Classmate Siji.”
“…If you feel unwell, you have to say so anytime, okay?” Zhong Siji looked at Xu Runhui’s forced appearance and couldn’t help but start worrying.
No.
It definitely wasn’t as light as she said with her mouth.
Something must have happened to Classmate Runhui…
Was it inconvenient to say because Classmate Yan Yan was present?
He would have to find a time when they were alone to ask properly.
Zhong Siji retracted his hand without changing his expression.
“Then everyone sit down properly. Time to eat.”
“Here, Classmate Yan Yan.”
“Thank you~~”
“Here, Classmate Runhui.”
“Thank… you, Classmate Siji.”
The three of them sat in a circle just like yesterday.
Zhong Siji handed the steamed buns out to them one by one.
“Because the dishes I made all have a relatively light flavor, I thought steamed buns would go better with them.”
“Eh, so that’s how it is. Classmate Siji is so thoughtful.”
Yan Yanyan did not hold back her exaggeration at all.
Xu Runhui just looked at the two big white steamed buns in her hands, not knowing what she was thinking.
But when it came time to open the bento boxes, Zhong Siji instead grew awkward.
After all, even he himself knew clearly that this bento’s presentation was really too embarrassing to show.
Never mind the presentation, even the taste left him with no confidence in his heart.
“Why don’t you two open them yourselves? I don’t quite dare look.”
Zhong Siji set down the bento box and turned his back, as if he couldn’t bear to see the two of them look disappointed.
“What’s this? Only getting shy at a time like this. Classmate Siji unexpectedly has a boyish side too.”
“Isn’t Classmate Siji a boy?”
“That’s exactly why, Classmate Runhui, you’re no good.”
“Ngh…”
Click!
This sound announced the instant the bento box lid was lifted.
“Wait! This is! This is!” Yan Yanyan’s cry of surprise came from behind, her voice full of shock and suspicion.
“Impossible… how could this be…” Xu Runhui murmured, looking lost.
“I say, even if it’s really bad you two don’t have to go this far! It really hurts my self-esteem! I worked really hard making it too!”
“Classmate Siji… this isn’t your bento, is it?”
“Even if it’s worse… ah??”
……
……
……
“I say, Xinya.”
“Hm? What’s up?”
“When did you become such a good girl?”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“This presentation clearly isn’t something you made either… this is your brother’s bento?”
Zhong Xinya said nothing and just kept eating.
Xu Runmin suddenly thought that if she got to eat the bento of the guy her sister liked before her sister did, the expression on her face when she found out would be so wonderful.
Ah~~~
She really couldn’t stand it.
The soul of a lover of spectacle inside her was burning fiercely!
“Anyway you can’t finish it all by yourself. Share some with me.”
“No. This is all mine.”
“Just a little bit…”
“Get lost!”
“Alrighty.”
