Chapter 21

Feeling the strength and warmth on his wrist, Saki paused and stopped.

She turned around and looked at Inujuan Ji: "Eh...? Inujuan-san?"

Saki tilted her head, her pink eyes looking at him.

Inujuanji opened his eyes slightly in shock, as if he had been pricked. He subconsciously clenched his wrists, then quickly loosened them. It was as if he was the one who was frightened.

Then Saki saw him panicking. "Bonito flakes...! Pickled mustard greens, bonito flakes, tuna mayonnaise!"

Well, I don’t understand at all!

But after seeing how flustered he became, Saki herself actually relaxed a lot.

She looked at Goujuanji, who had such a cool face but behaved in a very contrasting manner, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha... Sorry."

She realized how bad she was. Seeing Inumaki like this, she actually found it quite amusing, wanting to tease him further, to see him show more panicked expressions, something different from his usual cool, expressionless face.

Saki secretly stuck out her tongue in her heart.

The panic that Goujuanji had felt before gradually dissipated.

His ears were red and he wanted to bury himself under his neck scarf.

"Boyu flower."

Saki's eyes curved, "Yeah, Muyuhua Muyuhua."

After this little episode, Saki no longer felt embarrassed.

She brought the topic back to the topic: "Come to think of it, Goujuan-san suddenly grabbed me. Was he trying to answer my question?"

Now that I think about it, this does seem to be Inumaki's original idea.

I felt awkward and embarrassed, so I wanted to ask Gojuanji to pretend that I hadn't asked anything. But Gojuanji thought the question was answerable, or maybe he was about to answer, but I ran away, so he subconsciously grabbed me?

The more Saki thought about it, the more she felt that this was the truth.

She looked over.

The blush on Goujuanji's ears had not yet faded, and he nodded slightly when he heard this.

Saki: "Oh, I see. What was Inujuki-san thinking about just now?"

Gou Juanji lowered his eyelids, his purple pupils reflecting the words on the phone. His fingers pressed on the phone screen, typing and deleting non-stop.

In the end, he finished typing a whole sentence and then handed the phone to Saki to check.

Saki: "Do I know Nozaki-san from earlier...? Yeah, of course I do."

Goujuanji paused.

It seems like a really stupid question.

No, it should be said that it is too euphemistic.

He was somewhat concerned about the familiar interaction between Nozaki and Saki and wanted to ask about their relationship, but he was afraid that asking would be too abrupt and make Saki dislike him, so he wanted to ask more tactfully.

But being too euphemistic doesn't seem to work either.

Goujuan Ji didn't know whether to ask again.

However, Saki didn't notice his thoughts and continued to answer, "He and I are students in the same school, but not in the same class. Maybe it's because of the comics, so Nozaki and I are friends for the time being?"

Saki said this in an uncertain tone.

After hearing Saki's answer, Inumaki Saki silently breathed a sigh of relief.

If this is the relationship, it doesn't look like they are lovers.

That……

Goujuanji hesitated for a moment, and the scales in his heart finally tilted towards one side.

Because I really want to know.

[Does Saki-san like Nozaki-san? ]

Saki: “Eh, eh?!”

She pointed at herself in surprise, "Wait, me?!"

Gou Juanji paused slightly and nodded.

Saki immediately denied it: "No, no, no, of course not! Why would you think that?"

She couldn't help scratching her head, confused and astonished. "Could it be that I have done something that has caused misunderstanding?"

After Saki's denial, Inumaki Saki breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

He slightly curved his eyes: "Wooden Fish Flower."

Saki stared at him. "The answer to 'Boyuhua' is no, right? Then why did you ask such a question?"

Goujuanji was a little stiff, and he waved his hand subconsciously.

But fortunately, Saki did not pursue the matter.

"Anyway, the relationship between Nozaki and I is a pure classmate relationship!"

Gojuanji quickly said, "Salmon, salmon."

Saki could never have imagined that Inumaki Satoru would misunderstand her and Nozaki.

Following Inumaki Ji's line of thought, Saki also imagined it herself.

Her and Nozaki?

Saki shook her head subconsciously.

No, it's not worthy at all!

And Nozaki wasn't her type either.

She probably likes... um...

Seeing that Saki seemed lost in her own thoughts, Inumaki Satoru spoke up, "Salmon?"

Saki came back to her senses, "Ah, it's okay, it's okay."

At this time they had reached the fork in the road.

Saki pointed and said, "I'm going to take this road. The roads will split up ahead. I remember the station is over there."

Goujuanji paused, then nodded.

Although he didn't have to go to the station, or rather, he could send Saki home and then go back to the station, but...

He lowered his eyes, but ultimately did not say anything rashly.

“Salmon.”

Saki waved, "Bye."

*

Soon the day of the physical examination arrived.

Although I was prepared, I still felt nervous.

But there was someone else who was even more nervous than her.

Mikoshiba rubbed his stomach with a pale face, not at all like the handsome guy he had forced himself to be.

Saki tilted her head to look at him, "Wow, you look terrible, are you okay?"

Mikoshiba: "No, nothing! How could it be okay? Of course I'm fine, haha."

“…”

Saki: "Come to think of it, you were going to compete with Kashima?"

Hearing this, Mikoshiba immediately perked up, "Yes!"

He quickly searched for Kashima Yu's location and locked onto her among a group of girls.

Mikoshiba looked at her as if he were looking at a mortal enemy (ps: a one-sided mortal enemy), and silently clenched his fists: "Just wait and see, this time I will beat him up in all aspects of the physical test."

Saki: "Well, then I wish you success."

The first item tested is sit-ups.

Group them in pairs according to their student numbers.

Coincidentally, Saki was assigned to the same group as Mikoshiba, and next to them were Kashima Yu and another girl.

There was a fighting spirit in Mikoshiba's eyes.

"Hey, Oda, watch out, I will definitely defeat him in all aspects today."

Saki: "Huh? Really? Well, do your best."

She always felt that Kashima Yu would win.

And speaking of which... at this point, they still haven't figured out Yu Kashima's gender?! Even the president of Yu Kashima's drama club has figured out that Yu Kashima is a girl!

I discovered it when I went to the toilet.

However, she did not choose to expose the truth at this time, after all, Mikoshiba still had to compete.

Saki sat on the mat, then adjusted her position and lay down, ready to go.

She motioned for Mikoshiba to help press her feet.

Mikoshiba broke away from staring at Kashima Yu, and suddenly became nervous and stiff. "Eh, eh?! Wait a minute, do you want me to hold your foot?"

“…”

Saki was speechless. "It's pressing my feet... No, to be more precise, it's pressing my shoes. Why do you say that so strangely?"

Mikoshiba was furious: "Huh? No way! Anyway, I know!"

He hesitated and looked down for a long time before slowly reaching out his hand.

Saki: "...You're making me suspect my feet are poisonous."

Mikoshiba: "Stupid, stupid, stupid, what are you talking about!"

“…”

Saki stared at him helplessly, then adjusted her stance, ready to listen to the teacher's whistle.

“Beep—”

The whistle blew and Saki immediately started working hard.

Ahhh, I was so focused on practicing running that I completely forgot about this.

hateful.

But fortunately, the passing line is still very low?

At the end of the minute, Saki lay on the mat like a salted fish.

Mikoshiba released his hand: "Hey, Oda, get up, it's my turn."

Saki stood up, holding her waist like an eighty-year-old woman.

Mikoshiba stared at her, hesitated, stretched out his hand, then withdrew it, and then stretched out his hand again.

Saki: "...If you're not sure, could you please not extend your hand?"

Mikoshiba's face turned red.

Then it was his turn.

Miko Chaihuo quickly adjusted his status.

"Hmph, just wait!"

One minute is over.

Mikoshiba isn't much better than Saki.

Saki held out her hand to him, "Can you still get up?"

Mikoshiba: "Of course..."

The final statistics showed that Saki had 40 and Mikoshiba had 41.

Saki: Stare.

"You only have one more than me."

"I, I tried my best too!"

Mikoshiba: "Where's that guy?"

Deer Island Tour: 118.

What? !

Saki was shocked.

This means that she has to do two in one second!

Is this really something humans can do?

Deer Island tour, so scary!

Mikoshiba was also shocked, "Damn it! This isn't my strong point. Next!"

In the long jump, Mikoshiba was twenty centimeters less than Kashima Yu.

Jumping left and right, Mikoshiba had thirty fewer groups than Kashima Yu.

The grip strength is not as good as Kashima Yu.

…

Finally, it’s time for the much-anticipated run!

Mikoshiba showed a triumphant smile: "Haha, I am not a vegetarian these days."

Saki looked at him and said, "Are you sure you want to say such harsh words now? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you lose later?"

Ozu Chai: "..."

He stared at me with a look of grievance.

Saki silently shut up.

Mikoshiba: "Anyway, there's no way I can lose in a running race!"

Saki: "Okay, let's work hard together."

Saki thinks she will have a good result in running.

After the first lap, everyone was in pretty good shape.

By the end of the second lap, there was already some differentiation.

In the past, Saki would be extremely tired after the first lap. Not only would her speed slow down, but her breathing would also be completely out of control. She would wheeze like an old bellows, and her face would be extremely red.

But now, although she was a little tired and a little out of breath, and started breathing through her mouth, she was surprisingly not particularly tired. She felt that she could run another lap!

Is this the effect of exercise? It's really good.

All the efforts during this period have finally paid off.

that is……

Well, are you used to running with dog Juanji?

Now that I run alone I always feel a little, um... lonely?
