"I was just a little curious... I didn't spread rumors with them."
"They are good neighbors, but they don't interact." Su Qing had known about this rumor for a long time, but she didn't care.
"I see... Then it's indeed inconvenient for us to go to school together."
Yui smiled awkwardly, hesitant to ask further why the other person went to and from school together.
Um... neighbors, and they happen to be in the same grade at the same school, going to and from school together.
That's normal!
Yui thought to herself, "She's so stupid..."
“We can do it together. If you can stick to getting up early, I’ll ask Mahiru for her opinion,” Su Qing suddenly said.
"Eh...? That's not a good idea..."
Yui didn't know what was wrong with it, but she always felt that Su Qing's invitation was like an invitation to get into some kind of strange relationship.
Most importantly, she doesn't know Shiina Mahiru!
If it's light snow, then there's absolutely no problem!
"What's wrong with it?" Having known Yui for so long, I sometimes really don't know what she's thinking.
"Haha... I was just kidding." Yui laughed awkwardly twice, then asked curiously:
Why did you ask me to come along?
It can't be because of the saying "Among three people walking together, there must be one I can learn from!"
"I want you and Mahiru to become friends," Su Qing said earnestly. This was an idea that Mahiru and Yui had when they first met at the school sports meet.
The formation of bonds requires certain conditions.
My student days.
Being in the same class, having the same interests, participating in the same club, or having mutual friends are all reasons that can qualify as such a condition.
Su Qing called it "intersection".
And now Su Qing wants to become the bridge that connects them.
Putting aside the fact that coming to this world is too bizarre.
The future still holds many uncertainties.
That was something even Su Qing couldn't control.
What will happen to Mahiru if he passes away for some reason one day?
But Su Qing understood better than anyone else that no one in this world is irreplaceable.
It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.
Perhaps I can only accompany that flaxen-haired girl for a short while.
Whether it's the next ten years or the remaining years of university.
Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?
Even so, he still instinctively tried to reduce the loneliness that Mahiru showed.
Having a true friend should ease the burden quite a bit, right?
That's what Su Qing thought.
Yui is a very good child.
Su Qing could see the differences between Yui and Mahiru, as well as their similarities.
Most importantly, Su Qing trusted Yui just as much as he trusted Mahiru.
Therefore, Yui is a great choice.
"Eh... why was I specifically chosen?"
Yui tilted her head in confusion, her big, bright eyes blinking.
“Mahiru, she actually…” Su Qing gestured for Yui to come closer.
Then she told the other person that Mahiru's appearance at school was actually a facade, and that she was actually a child who was quite prone to loneliness.
The implication was that her family environment was not friendly, but Su Qing only mentioned it briefly and in a very subtle way.
"Then, does that mean Shiina doesn't have any true friends?!" Yui was shocked, but she still kept her voice down to avoid being overheard.
"That's right, strictly speaking, it might just be me."
Su Qing appreciated Yui's reaction. He really didn't want her to seem too shocked by this kind of thing; secretly plotting like this was quite good.
"Wouldn't that be just like Xiaoxue before!"
"If you mean friends..."
"That's just like Xiaoxue before!"
Yui lowered her voice and said with certainty.
"Hmm... so what's your answer?"
Not knowing how this matter was related to Yukino, Su Qing continued with her previous question.
"Leave this to me! I'm sure I'll become good friends with Mahiru!" Yui confidently assured him.
This is part of Yui's gentleness.
Most people would find such a thing too troublesome, and even if they reluctantly agree out of friendship, they would find a way to decline it later.
The older you get and the more experiences you have, the more this becomes true.
But Yui's enthusiasm at this moment was undoubtedly extremely sincere.
"But the condition is that you can't sleep in, and it's not just a little earlier. Mahiru and I usually go to school earlier than today."
Su Qing poured cold water on this enthusiasm to test the waters.
"Just you wait! I'll definitely set tons of alarms to wake me up, no problem!"
Clearly, this bucket of cold water did not dampen Yui's enthusiasm.
What should I do if my alarm clock breaks?
Su Qing continued to make things difficult for him.
"Then I'll have my mom wake me up, or if that doesn't work, I'll just drink coffee and not sleep!"
Yui's enthusiasm seemed to burn even brighter.
"Coffee? How could you even think of that..." Su Qing glanced at Yui helplessly.
This guy has always been incredibly stupid, almost as silly as Mahiru's several bumbling reactions this morning.
and many more.
Why do Mahiru and Yui's faces appear in my mind at the same time from the very beginning?
"Hmph, so what?"
Yui tilted her chin up, a relaxed and cheerful smile on her face.
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Once I get used to my early-rising biological clock, I won't need an alarm clock anymore! Just you wait and see, Xiao Qing!"
"When will you be able to get used to it?" Su Qing asked.
"Soon, very soon! I'll let you know when I'm fully settled! Then we can go to school together!"
Yui's eyes curved into crescent shapes, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing two shallow dimples.
"Well... I'll be waiting for your good news."
"Ok!"
Yui nodded emphatically, and when she raised her eyes again, her watery eyes sparkled brightly as if they were shining.
The girl revealed that familiar face, full of joy and mischief, and smiled at Su Qing.
Su Qing understood at that moment.
It turns out, he wasn't just trying to prevent Mahiru from showing that lonely expression again.
It turns out that he did this so that Yui could once again show a genuinely joyful smile like she does now.
I see.

Chapter 204 Unrequited Love and Grouping
There's an interesting question outside the industry:
Why are high school students who are not yet adults the ones who save the world?
In response to this question, the "expert" offered the following explanation:
Adults are already numb from their work; they wish the world would end!
When the middle-aged reporter interviewed the expert again, he asked, "Do you think the world should be destroyed?"
The expert simply gave the reporter a meaningful smile, then asked in return:
"Is your monthly salary enough to pay your mortgage and car loan? How much will you have left after paying them off?"
The reporter snatched the microphone back and whispered ominously, "Heh... Destroy it..."
But please remember that even middle-aged journalists have a rosy youth.
The yearning and enthusiasm for life during youth is undeniable.
Ok……
It would be even better if this life could be shared with the person you have a crush on!
In Class C of the second year, Hu Buxiang arrived late and walked into the classroom as the class bell rang.
And now he's in class with math, the subject he hates the most (and doesn't understand), which makes his already frustrated mood even worse.
Tobu Sho sighed heavily, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the back of a girl not far away.
He knew that girl well; it was Hina Ebina, whom he often played with.
Yes, he likes Ebina.
Therefore, he had to suppress his nervousness yesterday and finally managed to send the other person an email: "Are you asleep?"
Unexpectedly, Ebina quickly sent a message, replying almost instantly!
Ebina: Not yet, I'm getting ready to take a shower.
Tobu Sho: Oh, taking a bath is good...
Ebina: I'm going to take a shower.
Tobe Sho: Okay.jpg (A carefully selected emoji that he thinks is cute)
Although he waited until 1 a.m., Ebina did not reply to his message, but the other party replied to his message instantly.
So even though he didn't know Ebina's specific thoughts, he figured the other person must also have some feelings for him, right?
Hobe Sho remained immersed in the "Tsukuyomi" called Ebina until the end of the first math class.
"Hayato, let's be in the same group for this school trip!"
Miura shook Hayama Hayato's arm and said matter-of-factly.
A school trip? Yes!
Hobe Sho, having been enlightened by Miura's words, excitedly told the others:
"Is that even a question? We're definitely going to be in a group. You agree, right, Ebina?"
Standing next to Miura, Ebina, seeing that the Ministry of Revenue had suddenly turned the topic to him, adjusted his glasses and smiled:
“Yes, Yumiko, we definitely have to be in the same group.”
The groups for school trips are usually based on numbers. For example, in Class C, which has 40 students, numbers 1 to 20 form one group, and numbers 21 to 40 form the second group.
If you wish to make changes, you can apply to your homeroom teacher for minor adjustments.
