Chapter 14

Saki was even frightened by his urgent desire for knowledge.

Nozaki kept approaching, and Saki kept retreating.

She looked at Nozaki with a little bit of nervousness and fear, "Calm down, Nozaki-kun! You're really scary, you know? Be careful that the girls in my class don't misunderstand you and think you're bullying me."

After hearing this, Nozaki managed to calm down.

He nodded slightly: "Excuse me."

Saki grumbled, "So you know it's rude!"

Nozaki: "It's mainly because it's so rare to have an example around me to refer to, so I can't help but..."

As he spoke, he rested his pen cap against his chin, thinking for a moment, "Come to think of it, I used to think you and Mikoshiba were a couple, but now it seems I was mistaken."

He muttered to himself, "No wonder it felt a little off when I used your personality to target Suzuki."

Saki narrowed her eyes slightly. "Hey, hey, did I hear you right? So you really did draw the people around you into your comics!"

Nozaki said seriously: "It's not that I don't have it, it's just a simple reference."

Saki: "And why is Mikoshiba Mamiko and I'm Suzuki-kun?! Am I more manly than Mikoshiba?!"

Nozaki looked at her silently.

After a moment, Saki gave up as well.

"Okay, I admit you're a little bit right."

In some aspects, it seems that Mikoshiba is indeed more delicate than her.

but.

Saki was a little confused: "Why do you doubt the relationship between Mikoshiba and me? The relationship between us should be very pure."

Nozaki: "Because when I was peeping... I mean observing Mikoshiba, I always felt that the atmosphere between you two was a little, pink."

Saki: “Huh?”

She silently imagined the scene of herself and Mikoshiba falling in love... Sorry, I can't imagine it at all!

I don't know why, as soon as I switched to Mikoshiba, she automatically switched to the best friends channel. Or was it the bestie channel? What a mess.

Obviously, Mikoshiba's face is also very handsome.

Saki: "Anyway, it's your misunderstanding! Even if there are some pink bubbles between us, they are just pink bubbles of best friend relationship."

Nozaki was silent.

Saki: "Oh! Don't tell Mikoshiba."

Otherwise he would definitely grumble and be upset.

Nozaki nodded.

Saki: "But Mikoshiba's personality does have some... How should I put it? After interacting with him, I really can't help but feel pity for him. It's really strange."

Nozaki coughed lightly and brought the topic back to the topic, "So, Saki, can you tell me the truth?"

Saki had already realized that the person he was talking about was Inumaki Saki, so there was nothing to hide about it.

So Saki explained the situation.

"He's not a boyfriend from another school. He and I just, uh, met by chance? Anyway, we're just ordinary friends, better than strangers. And we have physical tests soon, right? I was training, so I asked him to run with me. So he came to see me yesterday about running."

Nozaki was writing things down in his notebook, a little confused. "If they were just ordinary friends, would he have gone running with you when you asked him to?"

Saki: "Um... maybe he's a nice guy? And then we can be considered half-dinner companions?"

Saki scratched her hair. "Anyway! It's not the kind of relationship you think. Stop thinking about it. It's so embarrassing."

How could she face Inumaki Ji in this case?

Nozaki turned a deaf ear to the notes and nodded perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I get it."

After taking notes, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, isn't Mikoshiba here?"

Saki glanced towards the class and said, "He's not here. Do you need something from him? I'll tell him for you."

Nozaki: "No, it's nothing serious. I just want to continue to refer to his image."

“…”

Good man, after being exposed, you really don’t even try to pretend anymore.

Since Mikoshiba is not here and he has already discovered Saki's secret, Nozaki does not plan to stay any longer. He wants to go back quickly to conceive a new character image as he has plenty of inspiration now.

Saki waved to him, "Bye."

After saying goodbye to Nozaki, Saki was about to go back to the classroom, but the next moment, a bow attacked her.

Oh no, it’s Chiyo.

Saki: "Hey, Chiyo."

Chiyo looked eagerly in the direction Nozaki had left, then looked pitifully at Saki, stammering, "Um, Saki-san, you and that Nozaki-san...are you, uh, uh, already a couple?"

Saki was completely shocked, "Wait, what are you talking about!"

She quickly denied it: "Of course not! He came to me just to ask something."

"Is that so?" Chiyo suddenly perked up.

Saki realized belatedly, ah, it seems Chiyo likes Nozaki?

hiss.

Then Chiyo crossed her fingers and asked shyly, a little expectantly, and awkwardly: "Um, um, how did Saki know Nozaki-san? Are they very familiar with each other? Well, does he, does he have, that is, um... a girlfriend?"

Saki said categorically, "No!"

If there is a relationship, Nozaki will definitely refer to his own experience. Judging from the fact that he is looking at other people's experiences, he is definitely single.

Chiyo suddenly became happy, pink flowers were floating around her, and she was grinning foolishly.

Saki touched her chin, "Chiyo, are you still in love with Nozaki?"

Chiyo blushed and admitted it sheepishly.

Saki: "Wow, that really lasts."

Chiyo made small movements with her fingers and couldn't help asking, "Um, if possible, Saki, could you help introduce me to her?"

Saki: "Of course."

Chiyo jumped up, "Really?"

She hugged Saki tightly, "Ahhh thank you Saki, thank you so much wuwuwu."

Saki touched her bow, "It's okay, it's okay~ Come on."

She remembered that Nozaki didn't seem to be particularly secretive about his identity as a manga artist. After all, hadn't he told his classmates that he was a shojo manga artist?

So it’s okay to tell Chiyo.

Saki: "Nozaki seems to be a manga artist."

Chiyo: "Eh? Is this true? As expected of Nozaki-san, you're amazing!"

The filter was installed so quickly!

Saki nodded. "Besides, he's a shojo manga artist, so I think you can also use this to get to know him, get in touch with him, and add more topics to his conversation?"

Chiyo: "Okay, okay! What's his pen name? I'll buy the comics right after I get back!"

She looked full of energy.

Saki: “Ah, I remember calling…calling…”

Chiyo looked at her expectantly.

Saki held her forehead with her hand: "Oh no, I didn't even ask!"

Chiyo: "!"

Saki: "But it's okay! I'll ask for you!"

Chiyo nodded immediately, "Thank you so much, Saki."

Saki: "It's okay, it's okay. Oh, by the way, sometimes Nozaki will ask us to come over and help look at the comics after he finishes them. I'll ask you to come with me then."

Chiyo: "Eh? Is that really possible?"

"Of course."

Chiyo was even happier, hugging Saki and rubbing against him, "That's great, that's great, thank you so much, Saki."

At this time, the class bell rang, and Chiyo quickly let go of Saki: "Well, then, I'm going back first!"

Saki waved to her.

When I entered the classroom, I met Mikoshiba.

Miko Chai asked curiously, "Who was that just now?"

Saki thought for a moment, "Ah, friends from other classes?"

Mikoshiba stared at her.

Saki tilted her head in confusion, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Mikoshiba looked Saki up and down as if judging her, then snorted softly.

Saki:?

After school, Saki continued running with Inumaki Tsuchiya.

Although she also knows that with activities like sports, progress is always slow and it may take a long time to see progress.

But today's running was almost the same as yesterday's, and I was out of breath very quickly. Saki felt very disappointed!

Damn it! How long will it take for her to pass the exam?

On the other hand, Gou Juanji next to him was still calm and collected, and he was even wearing a scarf. It was so amazing.

When she was so tired that she had to stop, Saki finally stopped and couldn't help but support her legs and started breathing heavily again.

Inujuan Ji touched her arm with some concern.

Saki looked back, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Goujuanji pursed his lips and gestured.

Saki tilted her head, hmm, I didn't understand.

Gojuanji took out his phone and typed: [It must be uncomfortable to be upside down like this after running, I...]

He didn't finish what he was going to say.

Saki: "Hmm? You what?"

Inumaki Tsuchiya blinked nervously, hesitating whether to continue, but Saki was aroused by his attitude.

"What's wrong?"

Gou Juanji shrank into his collar.

"Let me support you. If you're tired, you can... lean on me."

Saki tilted her head.

She thought something was wrong, but this is what happened?

There is nothing to be embarrassed about, and she also has to thank Gojuan Ji.

Saki didn't care, and since the other party took the initiative to propose it, she would not be embarrassed.

So Saki held out her hand, "Sure, thank you."

Inujuan Ji shook his head slightly, "Muyuhua."

He supported Saki, keeping just the right distance between them, not too close to make Saki feel disgusted, but not too far to make the support meaningless.

The two walked like this for a while.

Saki was suddenly amused and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do we look like kind caregivers and injured people who need rehabilitation?"

Gojuanji looked at it and nodded, "Salmon."

Saki: "Hahaha, you think so too, right? It's so funny."

Goujuanji felt a little embarrassed.

After walking to the bench and sitting down, Inumaki Ji handed Saki a bottle of mineral water.

Saki took it, feeling a little embarrassed. "Why do I always have to let you treat me..."

Gojuan Ji shook his head, "Muyuhua."

Saki: "It does matter! Well, can I treat you something too? Are you hungry? I'll treat you to a snack?"

Goujuan Ji originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought of Panda's suggestion.

Only when there is give and take can things last long.

Gou Juanji lowered his eyes slightly, then nodded.
