Chapter 22
If it was Gojuan Ji who ran with me...it would definitely be better than now, right?
Although he can't speak much, even if he does, he mostly uses onigiri. And if he really wants to answer some words other than onigiri, he can only use the AI on his phone to read aloud.
But even so…
I always feel like it's different when there's someone by my side.
It’s more, more… well, in short, it feels “better”!
Although she is now running with other students, the companionship is different from that of Inujuan Ji.
Saki would get very tired when she ran. It was fine at first, but later on, her mind would wander, her physical strength would fail, and her concentration would gradually become unfocused. But she could inexplicably feel that Inuma was always paying attention to her condition.
He will pay more attention to her.
It was the kind of attention that would immediately notice if there was anything unusual about her.
Thinking of this, Saki inexplicably felt her heart beating a little faster.
Ahhhh, damn, is my heart rate off? Running really does make my body unhealthy.
She shook her head, clearing away the unnecessary thoughts and concentrating on running.
-
After it was over, Saki walked onto the green field inside the track, panting and catching her breath.
Her emotions made her want to sit down immediately, or even lie down, but her reason told her that she couldn't do that yet. She should at least walk a distance to calm down after running.
Saki was breathing heavily and felt her face was extremely hot.
Although I practiced running beforehand and the situation is better than before, I still feel tired after running.
And - it doesn't seem to be much better, she is still so bad.
Saki touched her face, then dragged her feet and tried to take a step forward, looking shaky.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the green shade under her feet. Her face was hot and she could hear her own breathing.
Ah, I’m so annoyed, so tired, and so hot.
I always feel like the heat in my body can be materialized.
She must be like a big steamer now...
Can I sit down now?
Saki's lips moved subconsciously.
She wanted to ask Goujuan Ji, but before she could ask, she realized that Goujuan Ji was not by her side.
Perhaps it was because her emotions reached a critical point after being too tired. Saki suddenly had a very subtle feeling of, um, grievance?
She reached into her pocket and found that her cell phone was not there.
Because she had to have a physical examination today, she left her cell phone in the classroom.
As a result, I can't even send messages.
stop!
Saki shook her head violently.
When had she become so fragile? Wasn't it just a matter of when to lie down or sit down? Did she have to ask Gojuan Ji specifically?
hateful.
Saki puffed up her cheeks and sat down on the shaded ground in a huff.
She thought now was a good time to sit down and rest!
Saki tidied her hair, and then saw Mikoshiba moving towards her with difficulty, looking like he was about to die.
Saki was so shocked that she instinctively stood up to catch him, but luckily there were other boys nearby to help her.
Saki: "Hey, are you okay?"
Mikoshiba: "...I..."
Saki: “Hmm?”
Mikoshiba: "Me and Kashima...who wins?"
No, you are almost running to death and you are still concerned about this issue?
Moreover, the answer to this question seems a little too obvious!
Saki didn't have the heart to tell him the answer because it was too devastating for him.
After running, Mikoshiba seemed to have been drained of all moisture and was exposed to the sun for three days and three nights, and was hit dozens of times with a hammer "eighty eighty eighty". On the other hand, Kashima Yu——
Saki looked over and saw that a group of girls had gathered around Kashima Yu, coming to support him (?), handing him water and towels, and asking him about his well-being.
"Kashima-san, are you okay?"
"Kashima-san, please drink my water."
"Kashima-san, please wipe your sweat."
As for Kashima Yu, she had a beautiful smile and looked radiant, with only her forehead slightly wet with sweat. She didn't look at all like she was in a mess after just running.
"Haha..." She smiled brightly and gently, taking the towels and water from the girls. "Thank you, it's really timely and helps me a lot."
"N-You're welcome, Kashima-kun!"
Saki looked at Mikoshiba again.
Well, a mummy, it’s a mummy.
Saki squatted down beside him, fanning him compassionately with her hand, and said kindly, "Give it up, Mikoshiba."
Mikoshiba: Vomiting soul.
After the physical examination, it was time to go home from school.
Fortunately, Saki didn't have any club activities, so she could go home and rest.
She felt extremely tired. Although she had recovered now, tomorrow her whole body would definitely be sore.
By this time, Mikoshiba had recovered a little from the shock.
"Damn it, next time, next time for sure!"
Are you the male protagonist of some hot-blooded youth manga?
Saki: "Yeah, good, keep going."
Mikoshiba's movement to stand up was stiff, and his expression was ferocious. It was obvious that the burden on his body had reached the extreme.
Saki has a deep understanding of this point.
She rubbed her legs, then stood up and put on her schoolbag. "See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
As she was leaving the school gate, Saki lowered her eyes and scrolled through her phone.
Oh, come to think of it, she didn’t seem to tell Inumaki about today’s physical test?
No mention of running either.
She definitely won't run again today.
Not to mention that the physical test is over and she doesn't need to practice anymore, the amount of exercise she did today alone has exceeded the limit.
If she continues running later, she will definitely die today!
Let’s talk to Inujuan Ji later.
This activity will be cancelled in the future.
Thinking of this, Saki couldn't help but pause.
"kelp……?"
Saki came back to her senses and found that Inumaki Saki had walked up to her and looked at her with a little worry.
Saki: "Ah, kelp."
Gou Juanji curved his eyes.
Saki put away her phone and said, "Well, no running today."
Inujuan Ji blinked and looked over quietly, waiting for Saki's next words.
Saki: "We had a physical exam today."
Goujuanji paused for a moment, then understood what she said.
I had a physical test today...so I don't need to run today, which also means that my running practice will end here.
Thinking of this, Goujuanji lowered his eyelids, and his eyelashes blocked his slightly dim purple eyes.
His expression was as calm as ever, hiding his emotions well: "Salmon."
Inujuan Ji: [Did you pass the physical test? ]
Saki clenched her fists: "Of course!"
Otherwise, it would be really unfair to her efforts during this period.
Gou Juanji curved his eyes: [That's good.]
Saki looked at him.
Inujuanji tilted his head: "Salmon?"
Damn, this guy's expression is still so cool! I can't tell what he's doing.
Saki couldn't help but purse her lips.
Doesn’t he ask about the future arrangements or something like that?
Am I the only one who has this problem with running? It's so annoying.
Inujuanji: [If we don’t run today, do we want to go eat something? ]
Saki's thoughts were brought back.
She nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Goujuan Ji slightly bent his eyes, and then he pointed at Saki's schoolbag.
Saki already understood the meaning of his action, but was still a little confused: "Ah, for you?"
Inumaki Tsuchiya: [Since Saki-san must have had a hard time taking the physical exam today, I'll help you out.]
Saki: "Well, it's okay, it's just a school bag."
Her fingers pinched the shoulder strap of her schoolbag, a little hesitant.
Inujuji did not retract his extended hand after Saki refused. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at her quietly with his purple eyes.
Saki felt inexplicably uncomfortable and looked away.
She handed the schoolbag to Gojuan Ji: "Then... trouble you?"
Goujuanji: "Wooden fish flower."
The two walked forward.
Saki shared today's physical test with Inumaki Tsuchiya, but of course, she didn't mention that she felt lonely running alone... or anything like that.
Inumaki Saki was undoubtedly a very qualified listener - of course, this might also be related to his forced silence. However, in most cases, he responded at all times.
Even if some meanings cannot be expressed in Onigiri, he would type them out quickly on his phone and then hand it to Saki to read.
Goujuanji: [Let’s go eat at xx today? ]
This was the restaurant where he wanted to treat her last time but Saki refused because it was too expensive.
Saki: “Huh?”
She was a little hesitant.
Gojuan Ji: [I treat you! ]
Saki: “Hmm.”
Inumaki Ji: [Just consider it a celebration of passing the physical test.]
As he "said" this, he looked over.
The expression was deceptively cold, not matching the tone of the typing at all.
As I type, I feel that Inumaki Ji is very similar to... the enthusiastic Xiu Gou?
Anyway, because he always posted cute emoticons, Saki had a distorted impression of him. It was impossible to imagine that he was a cool guy with a cold face.
Inumaki: "Tuna mayonnaise?"
It should be a question.
Damn it, what should I do if I feel moved!
Of course, there is also an important point, that is, the relationship between the two has become much closer. Saki has also invited Inugami Saki to eat, so now when facing the other party's invitation, she is not as guilty as before, but can accept the other party's invitation more at ease.
While Saki was hesitating and thinking, Inumaki Saki was actually nervous too.
His eyes gently fell on Saki, waiting for her answer.
Then, Saki nodded.
"Okay! But please let me pay part of the bill as well!"
Goujuanji breathed a sigh of relief. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Salmon."
This restaurant is Western style and its main dish is steak.
The two sat down at their seats, picked up the menu and ordered.
Saki looked around and discovered they had durian pizza! The key point was that it wasn't the thick fruit pizza, but a thin, crispy pizza.
She was a little surprised: "I want to try this."
Inujuanji took a look and nodded: "Salmon, salmon."
Saki: "You agree?"
Gojuan Ji nodded.
Saki hesitated, "Ah...but this is a durian pizza."
Although she thinks durian is delicious, some people may find it difficult to accept the taste of durian.
Saki asked, "Is it okay?"
Goujuan Ji nodded and made an OK gesture.
Then he picked up his phone and started typing.
【Also, Saki-san seems to be very happy and looking forward to it.】
