Chapter 6: Date me! 3
Huh? Hideki didn't get angry? I clearly saw his eyes pop up.
I hurried downstairs, feeling a little sweet in my heart.
He didn't lose his temper with me. Was he enduring for my sake? Was he afraid that his angry words would scare me? Oh no, I remembered the way he lay softly on my lap on the day he was sick.
Ah! If only he would always be like this, and only do this to me...
The sweet mood lasted until school was over. I hooked my arm around Miss Seta, and my heart was beating with joy.
"Let me guess, your happiness has something to do with Hideki!" Miss Seta was still as ruthless as ever.
"He was going to yell at me today, but then he didn't!" I smiled foolishly.
"I couldn't bear to watch it. That guy was right to call you a stupid duck," Seta pinched my nose lovingly.
"Why did he want to yell at you? When did that guy take that kind of stance?"
Seta looked at me inquiringly, and I chuckled and blushed.
"No way! Did he confess his feelings?"
“No, no!” I was scared to death. How could the young lady guess it?
"Oh - okay! Xiao Liu said no, so it's no." Although Seta said this, the long drawn-out "oh" made me feel that she already understood the situation.
I just breathed a sigh of relief, but Seta didn't let me go and continued to ask, "Why is Hideki angry?"
"Well, I went to ask Hasumi-senpai a little bit about another senior. It was really just a little bit! Hideki happened to be there, and he seemed to have heard it..."
I answered honestly.
"Another senior?" Seta pinched my face with his hands. I cried out "Ouch!" "Tell me the truth, Xiao Liu, who did you meet where I can't see you?"
I really didn't know that Miss Seta was as domineering as Hideki. What else could I do when my face was twisted? I had to honestly explain how I met Senior Shimizu.
"Qiyomizu Hiro... turns out to be that person." Miss Seta looked at me, sighed softly, and reached out to pat my head.
"Miss, do you know that person?" I asked her.
"You could say I know him, but I've heard some rumors about him, but I've never interacted with him directly," Seta explained.
"By the way, Xiao Liu, you'd better not get too involved with that guy." Seta's eyes flickered as he said this. "Although I can't tell you the reason, that guy is famous for not liking humans. If such a person is a little special to a girl, she may become the target of public criticism..."
"Ah?" I was confused. Why would the young lady say that? It seemed that Senior Qingshui really had no good feelings towards people.
"Have you forgotten about Hideki? If you can offend people just by saying that you don't like them, being liked by someone who looks outstanding and handsome will make Xiaoliu's current situation even worse!"
The eldest lady sighed again.
"You should try to have less contact with him."
That seemed to be true. I nodded slightly, then shook my head.
But Shimizu-senpai helped me take in the dog, so for that alone, there is no way I can't get along with him! I would definitely want to know about the dog, and since Hasumi-senpai is such a big mouth and wants to bring Shimizu-senpai and me together, I think it's unlikely that I can just communicate with Hasumi-senpai without bringing Shimizu-senpai along.
Hideki's face suddenly popped up in front of me again, and I quickly blinked and pushed him aside.
"Ah! Look! Trouble is coming."
I turned and looked in the direction Miss Seta was looking, and saw that Senior Hasumi and Senior Shimizu were walking towards us with great interest.
"Seta-san!" Senior Hasumi started waving wildly from a distance.
I'm convinced that he stuttered even when calling the eldest lady's surname! Even the gossipy senior Hasumi couldn't resist the magic of the word "like"!
"I don't care about you, Xiao Liu. I'm leaving first. That guy looks like someone who will make trouble." A gust of wind blew past her eyes, and Miss Seta had already run away.
Before I could say a word, Senior Hasumi ran past me and said, "Xiao Liu, you talk to Ayang first. I'll go catch up with Classmate Seta—"
"Uh..." What happened? When I came to my senses, Senior Qingshui was already in front of me.
The handsome boy looked at me with a surprised expression and smiled quietly - he was as beautiful as a model in a magazine.
The sunlight shines on his black hair, reflecting a dreamy color. He has gentle eyes, thick eyelashes, and rosy lips. He wears a simple but very stylish slim casual outfit.
I blinked. I was a little confused because I couldn't react in time, but then I seemed to feel a magical power from him, which gradually calmed me down.
"Senior Shimizu." I looked in the direction where Senior Hasumi ran, but now I couldn't even see his shadow.
"You seem a little shy in front of me?"
"Huh?" I didn't expect Senior Qingshui to suddenly say such a thing. Thinking about how I seemed to have been staring at him just now, my face suddenly blushed.
"Well, it's because I remembered that Bi's clothes are still in the apartment. I have washed them, but I didn't bring them today." I quickly found an excuse to prevaricate.
"It doesn't matter when it's returned. Abi won't mind." Senior Qingshui said to me in a gentle voice.
"Oh, ok! OK!" I nodded quickly. "Then I'll give it to you in two days!"
"Yeah!" Senior Shimizu answered me softly, followed by a moment of silence.
Wow! Find something to say, Oshima Ryu! It feels so weird to have nothing to say! But my brain seems to have crashed and I can't stop thinking about Hideki. Maybe it's because Shimizu-senpai and I are alone together that makes me a little nervous! But what does this have to do with Hideki? I'm really going crazy. Why are you messing around here, Hideki?
"You're still shy after all!" Senior Qing Shui said to me with a faint smile, "Ah! It's a bit rude to say that, but your performance is indeed very obvious."
"Huh? Is...is there?" I answered apologetically.
"The last time you came to see me, we were chatting naturally. Did something happen?"
"No! That's not the case! By the way, senior, how is the little puppy?" I quickly changed the subject. It would be too embarrassing for me to know about Hideki's interference, but it would be too embarrassing for Senior Shimizu to know about it.
"That's what I came to you to talk about." Senior Qingshui didn't make things difficult for me, although the smile in his eyes showed that he saw that I mentioned the dog on purpose.
"The puppy is doing well, eating and sleeping well. He had his vaccinations given by the doctor yesterday and will be able to find an owner soon. I thought you might feel more at ease if I told you this."
"Yeah!" I couldn't help but smile when I heard that the puppy was doing well. "That's good. I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to adopt it because of what you said about the failed adoption!"
"It's all thanks to you that the dog I found on Oshima is just as adorable as you. I took a photo of it the day before yesterday and posted it on the adoption website. As a result, many people liked its appearance and made reservations in advance to come and see it!"
"Wow! So good?" I shouted happily, and then immediately realized something was wrong, "Wait, senior, you said that..."
What do you mean by a dog is as cute as me? Is there such a comparison?
"Ah! I think I said something wrong!" Senior Qingshui leaned down slightly and smiled at me .
Wow, what a beautiful smile. Unlike Hideki's smile that's so hot that it hurts your eyes, Shimizu-senpai's smile is as gentle as the moonlight that spreads across the earth.
"As for me, I tend to get emotionally attached to animals!"
Did I hear it wrong? Senior Qingshui seems to be explaining to me? Wait, why is he doing this? From the perspective of seniors and juniors, it seems that there is no need to go into so much detail!
Senior Shimizu continued to talk to himself, "Maybe it's because I get along with animals every day, sometimes I look at people as if they were animals. Because of the upbringing in my family, keeping a certain distance from people is considered respectful, so it's easier for me to get in touch with animals."
"Is that so?" I muttered nervously. I always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. Was it my illusion? The senior seemed to be more talkative than before.
“Oshima is soft and warm, and feels very close to animals.”
"Huh?"
“It just means it’s cute.”
Senior Shimizu reached out his hand and gently stroked my head. I was caught off guard and couldn't help but take a small step back.
"Ah! Senior... I'm sorry!" I looked at Senior Shimizu's hand that was frozen in mid-air and quickly apologized.
"It's nothing, there are leaves on your head, Oshima, let me help you remove them!"
Senior Qingshui didn't care whether I agreed or not. He reached out and gently brushed my head, and sure enough, he took off a leaf.
"Thank you!" I said.
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw Hideki coming from behind Shimizu-senpai.
"Qingshuiyang, Yaya is mine."
In a flash, Hideki pulled me from the senior to him and held my wrist tightly with one hand.
"I... When did I become yours..." I said in a low voice while struggling - I don't know why, ever since Hideki confessed to me, I seem to have no confidence to yell at him.
"Oshima-san is a person, not a thing. Hideki, you should listen to her opinion."
"Listen to her?" Hideki glanced at me with a horrified expression. "This stupid duck was sold as a roast duck and would probably help others count the money."
"Hideki, you are still so stubborn!" Senior Shimizu walked towards Hideki without showing any weakness.
"Anyway, it's between me and Yaya, and it has nothing to do with you."
"As long as she is studying at Huanghua College, Yadao will be my junior!"
"Asshole..." I heard Hideki growl in a low voice.
If the atmosphere just now was awkward and ambiguous, now the two boys who just met are ready to fight.
"Wow! Stop arguing, okay!" I shouted loudly, and then I found that Hideki and Senior Shimizu were looking at me together.
It's so embarrassing! I have lost my ladylike image again... But I don't want to see them really fall out. Shimizu-senpai has helped so many stray animals. He is a good person. And Hideki treats me...
"I, I'm going back to the apartment!" I quickly turned around, hiding the smile and blush on my face, and ran away quickly.
This is terrible. I wanted to stop the fight, but Hideki seemed to be happy because he was jealous of me.
Oshima Ryu, that's enough!
