Chapter 38
Seeing my distracted mind, Sister Xiong snorted again, then reached out and tugged at my sleeve frantically where Fuji Yuta couldn't see, coughing non-stop.
"Cough cough cough cough, cough cough cough cough!"
I get it, I get it. What you want to emphasize is 'no men in mind, learn from nature', right?
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
-Todai! My dream of becoming a lawyer!
Fuji Yuta glanced at Sister Xiong with some surprise, "Um, are you okay? If you're not feeling well, there are volunteer medical staff over there..."
Sister Xiong curled her lips, as if she didn't want to pay attention to him. But I was quick to react and immediately took over the conversation, "It's okay, Sister Xiong just has a cold, it's nothing serious!"
However, with Sister Xiong's warning, my heart, which had just drifted far away because of his words, instantly settled down. After fighting with the evil thoughts in my mind for a full half minute, I finally spoke with difficulty:
“Well…actually, I” don’t really want to participate in this kind of activity.
Fuji Yuta immediately added: "Not only is it a Taizhi figure stand, but if you keep it for more than 60 days, you can also exchange it for a Chuuchi Chuuya keychain!"
In the middle! ! !
I shamefully wavered again, but reason prevailed for the time being. Under Sister Xiong's murderous gaze, I shook my head with difficulty, "Sorry, dear friends, I don't want to form a couple for now... Or maybe you should see if there's anyone else willing to team up with you to win the prize..."
The boy, who was rejected, had a disappointed look on his face, but he quickly recovered. "Okay, but if you change your mind, Nana, you can always come find me!"
After Fuji Yuta returned to the athlete's seat, Sister Xiong patted my shoulder and said with satisfaction, "Well done! You defeated yourself again."
But I gave a bitter smile.
Actually, I don’t want to win at all!!
Woohoo, my Taizhi and my Zhongzhongye...
*
We barely had time to warm up in the stands when the match was over. The district selection was a three-game system, and Fuji Yuta only won the first game; the next two games were crushing defeats to Hyotei Academy.
Even Hyotei's captain, Keigo Atobe, was not sent into the field, yet they won with an almost overwhelming result of 3:1.
Sister Xiong was kind enough to give me some scientific knowledge. Hyotei's tennis team is a strong team ranked among the top eight in the country. Not to mention that because of Keigo Atobe, a lot of resources have been continuously invested in the team's construction. The strength of the team is simply not comparable to that of St. Rudolph, which was established only a few years ago. The reason why Fuji Yuta was able to win that game was because Keigo Atobe, the captain, and Jiro, the seeded player, had not officially played yet, leaving a little room for maneuver. Otherwise, the score would have been even uglier.
As for the reason, it is that they are not able to use their ace players to deal with St. Rudolph.
Although, this is a bit disrespectful...
If it were me, I would probably be furious!
As expected, the two teams that had finished their match a long time ago started arguing for some reason. To be more precise, it was Fuji Yuta who was arguing with Atobe Keigo unilaterally.
"Damn it, you have no idea how hard Senior Guanyue worked for this game..."
"...I'm right, losing is losing... In this arena, hard work is important, but talent is even more important... But you, on the other hand, have made a lot of progress. I'm starting to take an interest in you. I remember you're Fuji Shusuke's younger brother, right?"
Sister Xiong and I smelled the scent of the melon and moved forward to the first row, intending to eat the melon at close range. Sister Xiong even looked like she was hoping that Keigo Atobe would be severely punished, which made me begin to doubt whether she really had some deep hatred for him.
Sister Xiong said: "I just simply can't stand that guy."
Is this the grudge between wealthy families? !
Sorry for getting off topic—
In short, Keigo Atobe's words seemed to have hit Yuta's nerves, and he looked even angrier.
"How about this... I'll play you, one round, and the winner gets to date that guy..."
Atobe Keigo suddenly changed the subject and pointed the finger at me.
I pointed at myself in disbelief and uttered, "Huh?"
What does it have to do with me?
However, the two of them seemed to not take me seriously at all and started fighting on their own.
I tugged at Sister Xiong's sleeve and said, "Sister Xiong, can you please take care of your cousin?"
You guys just play ball, why are you using me as a bet?!
Sure enough, after hearing that, Sister Xiong quickly stood up and rolled up her sleeves as if she was ready to go up and argue. Then, in a split second, she suddenly sat down again with a calm expression.
Me: "Can I know what kind of complicated mental journey you went through in this short second?"
Sister Xiong spoke calmly, "Dating Atobe Keigo is much more reliable than dating that guy. Nana, if you marry into the Atobe family, you can always be with me... This is called keeping the good things within the family. I really can't help but praise Atobe Keigo. Well done!"
She has completely transformed into a form that supports Keigo Atobe.
Me: 6
Before I could stop it, the game over there started in full swing, and Sister Xiong pushed me back to my seat, saying that I didn't want to block the audience behind me.
But the game is over, and the audience has almost all left...
"Let's finish watching the game first."
Sister Xiong said so.
My cheeks puffed up with rage, and I huffed, "Anyway, they shouldn't use this kind of thing as a trophy. These two stinking straight men, I'm definitely going to teach them a lesson when this is over! I'm going to teach them what it means to respect women!"
Seeing me rubbing my hands in anticipation, Sister Xiong immediately encouraged me: "Then you must not let me down, especially Atobe, you should beat him like a pig's head."
I:"……"
Not really, not really.
Because it was only one game, the game ended quickly.
The winner is Atobe Keigo.
Fuji Yuta's expression was very ugly. Standing on the court reminded me of the puppy emoji in the rain. It was so pitiful. However, his strength was still recognized by Atobe Keigo——
"I'm looking forward to meeting you at the national competition, but if you want to avenge today's defeat there, you'll have to work even harder in the remaining regional competitions!"
Forget it, I plan to divert the conflict and go over and give this Atobe Keigo a good scolding.
"What? You can't wait to go on a date with me?"
Atobe Keigo raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl who was approaching him with a teasing look on his face.
Although the bet was "winner gets a date," Atobe Keigo was only joking. It's no exaggeration to say that any girl who wanted to date him could go anywhere from Hyotei to Rikkai University, but seeing her completely oblivious to his charms, he had the mischievous pleasure of teasing her.
Now it seems to be quite effective...
"How about this, you go to Huadi first to get a number plate..."
I interrupted his crazy speech indifferently: "Are you okay?"
"ha?"
Seeing his dumbfounded expression, I took a deep breath and was about to launch into a long speech (curse) when—
"Um, can I join in? It sounds like a lot of fun~"
The person coming is Fuji Shusuke!
"Huh? You're here too, Fuji from Seigaku."
Atobe Keigo didn't think much of it and just thought he was here to watch his brother's game.
"You want to seek justice for your brother, huh? If that's you, I'd be happy to play a round with you..."
Sister Xiong saw me quickly sitting down to watch what was happening and sneered.
"Who said that they shouldn't use this kind of thing as a trophy between them? We're going to teach them a lesson after this is over. We're going to teach them what it means to respect women."
"Didn't you say to finish watching the game first?"
"Besides, Senior Fuji probably just couldn't stand seeing his brother being bullied and wanted to help Yuta vent his anger!"
Senior Fuji on the field also spoke up to reconfirm the rules. "It's a one-game system. The winner gets to date the junior. That's the rule, right?"
The eyes of Yuuta Fuji and Keigo Atobe instantly focused on me. Seeing how embarrassed I was, they wished they could disappear right away.
But Sister Xiong beside him wanted to make things worse, "Haha, is this just helping your brother vent his anger?"
“Tsk tsk.”
Me: “Boo!”
Stop scolding, stop scolding...
*
I felt that I should have gone up and stopped their childish competition, and told them that this kind of thing was not something to be joked about, and I was indeed planning to do so, but Senior Fuji suddenly showed up in the middle.
I originally thought he was just trying to vent his anger on Yuta...
But, it sounds like maybe he wants to...date me?
No, I just saw Senior Fuji from a distance, walking side by side with a girl. Are they on a date?
Their relationship...
"Oh my, it's been a while since I've been to see Zhou Zhu's game. I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain this time... As expected, the divination said that I would be very lucky today, and it's true..."
I looked back toward the sound and saw a tall, beautiful woman appear behind us. Her orange hair reached her shoulders and was stylishly permed. Her pink V-neck shirt revealed her delicate, fair collarbone, and her short, black, hip-hugging skirt revealed her long, slender legs. She looked like a sexy, beautiful older sister.
I recognized this outfit. It was the girl I had just seen from afar walking with Senior Fuji.
Could it be that Senior Fuji actually likes mature and mature girls?
Somehow, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Maybe it's just a little bit of inferiority complex when standing in front of a truly beautiful woman...
"Um, who are you?"
As soon as I said it, I immediately regretted it.
Why should I care who they are...it seems like I care a lot.
The elder sister glanced at me with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but at the moment I was immersed in regret and did not notice this little detail.
"My name is Fuji Yumiko, and I'm Yuta and Shusuke's older sister! Junior high school girl~"
I:!
It turns out she's Fuji-senpai and Yuta's older sister! But why does she also call me junior?
Sister Xiong clicked her tongue again.
Her face visibly brightened...
Yumiko Fuji took the empty seat next to me, and at this time the match between Senior Fuji and Keigo Atobe also started.
The tennis club is, after all, Seigaku's flagship club, so after I joined, I also passively heard a lot of information about the tennis club's regulars, such as the match between Fuji Shusuke, who is hailed as a 'genius', and Hyotei, who is said to be the winner...
The battle was extremely tense. Even an outsider like me could feel that both sides were fighting fiercely, neither giving in.
Unlike the last time when Senior Fuji almost unilaterally slaughtered his opponent, the opponent he faced this time was Keigo Atobe, who was also a master, but Senior Fuji seemed to want to win the game very much.
Those blue eyes that always smile sparkle with a desire for victory, like a clear sky, or like the sea surface reflecting the sunlight, with an unfathomable undercurrent buried beneath the sparkling waves.
But why?
Maybe my expression looked a little serious, so Fuji Yumiko comforted me and said, "Xiaoxuemei, don't worry about Zhousuke. I also read the fortune for Zhousuke and Yuta before I left, and both are auspicious. So Zhousuke will definitely win. Because this game is not fought for anyone, but for..."
Before she could finish her words, the referee's whistle sounded at this moment.
“Beep—”
"1:0, Fuji Shusuke wins."
Senior Fuji narrowly won by just one point.
I breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but applaud his victory.
When I turned around again, Yumiko Fuji had already left.
By the way, what was the last thing she said?
"Fuji, you seem to have gotten stronger, but this round is just a warm-up. I hope to play the rest of this against you in the national tournament... Let's go, Karaichi."
While Atobe Keigo put away his racket, his eyes were looking at the people outside the court.
Sitting outfield, Atobe Kuma gave him a thumbs-down sign and silently mouthed, "Waste."
If he can't even win Nana's date, how can he expect her to be his?
Forget it, they are all trash, and she will have to take action herself later.
Tsk.
His cousin really likes that girl.
"Go back."
*
"Schoolgirl, could you please get me a bottle of water?"
"yes!"
I subconsciously handed him the mineral water in my hand. He took it, tilted his head back and took a big sip. Only then did I realize that it was the mineral water I had drunk before.
Glancing over, I noticed an opened box of mineral water for athletes lying on the ground next to me. I felt instantly embarrassed. Senior Fuji must have meant for me to take it from here...
Aaaaaaaaaaaah!
I looked at Senior Fuji with some trepidation. He drank the water in the bottle in one gulp, then asked me with a smile:
"I won...so can I go out with my school girl now?"
Never stop until you say something shocking!
I almost instantly jumped up from my seat in panic, gesticulating and stammering for a long time before finally uttering, "Huh???"
Make an appointment with my second senior!
Is he serious?
Senior Fuji was still the same as always, his slightly narrowed eyes hiding his beautiful blue eyes well, but even so, I could still feel his gaze on my face, with a subtle burning and concentration, but when I looked back, there was nothing, as if everything was my illusion.
Noticing my nervousness and embarrassment, he chuckled and said in a nonchalant tone, "I'm just joking, don't mind it, junior sister."
I was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "So it was just a joke... Haha, that's great."
While I felt relieved, I also felt inexplicably lost.
Although I don't want to admit it, for a moment, I did have some unrealistic expectations about 'dating Fuji-senpai'.
I am truly guilty of blaspheming Senior Fuji!
I immediately got up from my seat and slid to my knees in my heart.
And Sister Xiong, who saw through everything silently: Tsk.
At the same time, I silently cursed him again in my heart: Atobe Keigo, waste.
He usually brags about how many girls are chasing him, ranging from Hyotei to Rikkai University. Tsk tsk.
night.
After finishing a day's trip, I returned home. I planned to take a day off today, so after taking a shower, I didn't go to read or study, but lay down directly on the bed.
Although he was being stubborn in front of Sister Xiong, he still honestly opened the official public account of Souler, clicked on the new event announcement, and started browsing.
Half a minute later, I sat up in shock in my dying state (no).
If you complete the couple mission for 30 consecutive days, you will receive a Taizhi limited edition figure stand.
If you complete the couple mission for 60 consecutive days, you will receive an additional limited edition keychain.
If you complete the couple mission for 90 consecutive days, you will receive an additional limited edition Ranpo cat Baji...
Extra benefits...rounding it up, doesn't that mean as long as you check in for 90 consecutive days you can go all in on these limited edition Wenye peripherals?
Souler, are you doing charity work like this for your own good?!
When I came to my senses from the shock, the souler software had already been downloaded again by me.
Ever since I broke up with Senior Cactus and deleted his contact information, I also deleted the Souler app.
When I logged into Souler again after half a year, the entire software page had changed a lot.
The first thing that pops up is some update notes for the latest version——
Updated content on April 19, 20XX:
1. Added a function to display the user's location distance information, which is turned on by default. If you need to turn it off, you can turn it off manually in the settings;
2. Added special reminders for users who have confirmed their relationship;
3. Optimize the special effects display when couples are close to each other;
4. Fixed and optimized the abnormal display bug of chat between couples in the previous version...."
I took a quick glance and closed the pop-up window without thinking.
However, I discovered that my relationship with senior Cactus has not yet ended!
But come to think of it, we matched on Souler just to complete the couple mission at that time to get rewards. After that, our chats were basically all on the usual social media, and I deleted the contact information on social media...
Looking at senior Cactus’s profile picture, it is gray.
It also shows below that he has been offline for three months.
I originally thought that if I broke up and deleted him for no reason, he would at least find a way to contact me and ask for clarification, but it seems that was just wishful thinking on my part...
However, I didn’t seem as lost as I imagined.
etc--
I suddenly realized a terrible fact!
That is, the relationship in Souler requires mutual consent to be terminated. If Senior Cactus is no longer using this app and has even deleted it, how can I terminate the relationship and bind a new one to complete the CP task?!
One mobile phone number can only be bound to one account!
ah? ? ?
Are my limited edition Taizhi figurine stand, limited edition Chuchuya keychain, and limited edition Ranpo cat Baji family bucket gone just like that?!
Help!!
Senior Cactus, how are you going to pay me back for what you owe me?!
So that night, I suffered from insomnia, which was rare.
*
The next day, I walked back to school with heavy steps, with big panda eyes and as listless as a salted fish that had lost its dreams.
When Ai Li saw my appearance, she was shocked and asked, "You were a thief at night?!"
"It's so miserable to be a thief, wuwuwuwu..."
I'm so sad I can't even cry. Which wicked thief stole my limited edition Bunno family bucket merchandise?!
Just then, a special prompt tone rang from the phone.
I took out my phone with some surprise, and saw a pop-up window in souler.
"Your partner 'Cute Cactus' is online."
My spirits instantly lifted. If I went to him now and apologized sincerely, he would probably agree to let me end our relationship, right?
After all, several months have passed. I guess he's not such a stingy person. Besides, it won't benefit him at all to be tied to me forever...
Thinking of this, I instantly felt the light of hope enveloping me again, and it seemed as if Taizhi, Chuchuya, and the cat Ranpo appeared before my eyes and were waving at me.
Without further ado, I immediately clicked on the dialog box of Senior Cactus, fearing that I would miss the opportunity if I was a second late and could not catch him. I was just about to type my kneeling apology and begging for unbinding declaration.
Then I saw a line of small words below:
"The user is within 900 meters of you."
Me: Huh?
This really screws me up.
