third chapter 2
The boys stepped back for a distance, and I was finally able to breathe fresh air again. At this moment, a pair of warm hands held my arms firmly. The slight warmth penetrated my thin coat, bringing a sense of security.
I stared blankly at the tall figure in front of me—it was not an illusion!
"Are you okay?" Ayano Yu patted my face with a strange look on his face. "Are you scared silly?"
I pushed him away almost reflexively: "What are you doing?"
Ayano Yu pursed his lips and said unhappily: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you? Why did you suddenly come to the Kyudo Club?"
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked me up and down: "Are you following me?"
"Follow your head!" I roared.
Ming Cha Cha, just now you were actually moved by this guy's serious look for a moment, you are really blind.
I shoved the phone into Ayano Yu's hands and said, "Here you go! I'm leaving now!"
As expected, nothing good happened as soon as I saw him. I can't wash myself clean now. Fortunately, Senior An is not a freshman and should not be aware of the gossip about me.
"Did they have a fight?" I was about to leave when suddenly a boy's voice came into my ears.
In an instant, everything around us became quiet, and the boys' eyes were fixed on us. My heart skipped a beat and I suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Wait, Ming Cha Cha, are you angry because you heard that Ayou went on a date with another girl?" The brown-haired boy who had just led me out suddenly ran out and pulled me tightly, "Ayou is actually a liar! Every time he said he was going on a date, he actually came to the Kyudo Club to practice secretly. We can prove it!"
Huh? I didn't expect Ayano Yuu to be so concerned about his reputation, and he's not really a playboy?
No, that's not right...this is none of my business!
Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to explain. As if they were afraid that I would leave, everyone stopped in front of me and started praising Ayano Yu crazily.
"Although Ayou is very talented, he works harder than any of us. He practices two more hours every day!"
"He is actually very considerate and caring. Last time I was injured, he took me to the infirmary."
"Although this guy seems to be very playboy and very concerned about his reputation in the academy, he actually has never even had a scandal partner. Ming Cha Cha, you are the first one!"
…
I was going crazy, oh my god, this can't be true!
Brother, I just came to return the phone, and the quarrel between Ayano Yu and I just now was not due to misunderstanding... I am not Ayano Yu’s girlfriend at all!
"Shut up!" Suddenly, Ayano Yu yelled, interrupting their crazy praises.
At this moment, his face turned red and his thin skin seemed like it would bleed .
"What are you shy about?" The noise was so loud that even the coach was attracted. He patted Ayano Yu's back heavily and said, "Ayu, your training today is over. Go on your date!"
"Yeah!"
“That’s right!”
The others responded with laughter. The brown-haired boy came up to the coach and said flatteringly, "Coach, can I go on a date with my girlfriend, too?"
"Dream on!" The coach refused without a second thought, "You are not Ayou, go practice, one hundred arrows!"
"Hahaha!" The boys all burst into laughter. Amidst the laughter, I held the lunch box in my hand with a dazed look on my face, and was pushed out of the door by this group of people along with Ayano Yu.
“Crash——”
The door of the Kyudo Club was closed, blocking out the noisy sounds inside.
Ayano Yu and I stood outside the door awkwardly. He was still wearing his white Kyudo uniform, and his narrow waist made him look strong and graceful. He looked at the closed door with a bad expression and his lips tightly pursed.
The development of the story is so unpredictable... No wonder he hasn't come to his senses yet.
"Ayano Yu, is your date place the Kyudo club? Hahaha!" I raised my eyes and laughed a few times unceremoniously.
Although it was completely different from what I imagined, at least I knew his secret today. This guy was usually so arrogant and always showed off in front of me that he was going on a date. Now that I think about it, it's really funny.
A blush appeared on Ayano Yu's fair and handsome face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't tell anyone!"
This guy is really obsessed with face, but now I have completely seen through the panic under his fierce expression, I can't help but laugh: "Hey! You just joined the Kyudo Club, what is there to hide?"
"You don't understand!" He frowned at me and said worriedly, "I have been practicing Kyudo since I was a child, but I always practiced alone and never joined any club. This time I finally joined the Kyudo Club. If those girls knew about this..."
I shuddered. That's right... those fans are so crazy. If they knew that Ayano Yu always stayed in the archery club, they would definitely pack this place.
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you." I patted my chest and said, "I, Ming Cha Cha, am a very principled person. Even if I hate you, I will never do anything to hurt others."
Ayano Yuu looked at me suspiciously: "Are you that good?"
"Hey!" I glared at him in dissatisfaction, "I have always been so kind! Ayano Yu, you actually like the Kyudo Club very much, right?"
A bright light flashed in his obsidian eyes, and he paused for a moment before speaking: "How do you know?"
Doesn't this guy know that he is totally different in the Kyudo Club than he usually is? Whether he is practicing or joking around with the senior coaches in the Kyudo Club, he is always relaxed and happy, as if he is radiating brilliance all over.
"Of course!" I blurted out, "You are the real you today! Do you know how disgusting it is to pretend to be gentle?"
"Hey! Who are you calling disgusting?" Ayano Yu said dissatisfiedly, "Today's fans are terrible!"
But then he smiled again, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and his narrow eyes curved into crescents: "But Ming Cha Cha, thank you! Thank you for keeping it a secret for me!"
My heart moved slightly. I don’t know if it was because the atmosphere was too good or some other strange chemical reaction happened. Anyway, at this moment, looking at his bright smile, I suddenly felt that this guy didn’t seem so annoying!
"Thank me for returning your phone to you!" I also smiled.
"So, we were pretty happy even when we weren't in 'volcanic eruption' mode..." Ayano Yu stared at my smile blankly, and suddenly said to himself, "You're not as annoying as I thought."
"You're the annoying one!" I raised my hand and hit him hard on the head.
I don't know why, but after seeing Ayano Yuu training, I no longer feel any disgust towards him. Instead, I think that this guy is actually quite pitiful. Having so many fans must be quite a burden for him.
When I was beating up Ayano Yu just now, I remembered that I was still holding the lunch box in my hand.
Alas, after wasting so much time, I still don’t know if I can meet Senior An…
I generously handed the lunch box forward: "Here you go!"
"Give it to me?" Time stopped for a few seconds before he asked me in surprise.
"Of course!" I answered proudly.
Hahaha, no matter what, Ayano Yu really likes the food I cook! Seeing his unbelievable expression, it really makes me feel happy... Never mind, let him get away with it!
