Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

Are Yukinoshita and Yuigahama having a conflict?

Beinuo thought about it for a while and changed the question into an affirmative sentence.

Although there was a quiet atmosphere in the service club, this was the first time I had seen such a strange situation.

Is this a quarrel between friends?

No, the two were just playing a game of chase.

Bei Nuo couldn't figure it out, but fortunately, the two of them were just in a cold war, and the conflict shouldn't be serious... right?

Just in case, he asked, "Did anything happen between you?"

"..."

"..."

No response.

Where Beinuo can't see.

Yuigahama tightened the flip phone in her hand, and Yukinoshita pressed the spine of the paperback book.

After a long time, just when Beinuo was about to give up.

Yukinoshita just said casually, "It's nothing, just a small matter."

"Oh, that's good." Bei Nuo immediately felt relieved and focused his eyes on the magazine in his hand.

At this moment, Yukinoshita's hands, which had been holding books, gradually leaned on the long table.

Her hands had been hanging in the air. Although she could put the book between her thighs and the hem of her skirt, keeping her head down for a long time was not good for her neck and cervical spine.

So when Yukinoshita felt her arms a little sore, she would naturally rest her wrists on the table.

Bei Nuo also noticed this.

Even though he had moved some distance and moved his seat to the side, his reading space was still affected a little.

Of course, Yukinoshita did not occupy his space to a large extent, but when Bei Nuo was reading, Yukinoshita's slender fingers would enter his field of vision.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at the space used by Yukinoshita, and found that the area used by the other party was very small, even giving people the illusion of being cautious.

For the sake of convenience, Bei Nuo moved the chair again to make more space for Yukinoshita.

However, this move had just been completed.

He could clearly feel Yukinoshita's gaze just with his peripheral vision.

But Kitano didn't know whether Yukinoshita was really looking at him, because there was a possibility that Yukinoshita was looking at Yuigahama.

Five seconds pass.

This uneasy feeling of being stared at made it difficult for Bei Nuo to concentrate, so he had no choice but to turn his head slightly and glance in the direction of Yukinoshita.

As it turned out, Yukinoshita was also watching him.

What kind of look is that?

Xue Xinta stared at him expressionlessly, with a faint resentment between her brows, as if she was examining him, or blaming him, and her slightly narrowed eyes were filled with seriousness.

In short, Kitano felt uncomfortable being stared at by Yukinoshita.

"President, is there something you want to talk to me about? Or... is the president actually looking at Yui-san?" Kitano said, and then looked in the direction of Yuigahama.

Yuigahama hadn't paid any attention to what was happening here and was looking at her phone until just now.

Yukinoshita withdrew her gaze and responded a beat later:

"nothing."

This made Beinuo even more confused.

Did he have reason to believe that Yukinoshita was taking her anger out on him, or was it a bad thing to give up some space?

Without any choice.

Since Yuigahama failed to adjust the atmosphere, Kitano had to take on the role of adjusting the atmosphere. Otherwise, if this continued, he might have to continue to endure the occasional suffocating feeling.

"Well, I just wanted to give the president some space, I didn't mean anything else."

Yukinoshita responded calmly, "I know."

"..."

Yeah, she knows... Of course she knows about this kind of thing, she is not a three-year-old child.

Kitano found it difficult to continue the conversation. Usually, Yuigahama was able to lead the entire service club by herself, which was truly an amazing skill.

Even if he wanted to liven up the atmosphere, it was obviously difficult in front of Yukinoshita. If it was someone else, perhaps the difficulty would be lower, after all, he was better at being a topic terminator.

How does Yuigahama usually liven up the atmosphere at times like this?

Bei Nuo thought quickly for a while, and then extracted a common method from Yuigahama's behavior habits:

Bring up an interesting topic.

That’s right, Yuigahama often says, “Xiaoxue, listen to me,” “Xiaoxue, do you know what I was saying just now?”, “Oh! Come to think of it, that was also blah blah”…

Beinuo thought this method was feasible, so he quickly searched for topics in his mind, preferably something interesting.

He just coughed lightly, and then somewhat abruptly told what had just happened.

"Speaking of which, I met a girl on my way here just now."

After these words were spoken, Yuigahama and Yukinoshita both perked up and looked at Kitano at the same time.

Seeing that this topic was still somewhat useful, Bei Nuo continued, "I heard from Caijia that the girl wanted to see me last week, but I was busy and missed it..."

He recounted all of what he had encountered today, and finally asked, "Excuse me, do you know her intentions?"

Both girls were silent for a moment.

Yuigahama spoke first: "That junior obviously wants to..."

"It just happened."

Yukinoshita interrupted Yuigahama's speech and squinted her eyes at him, hoping to signal Yuigahama to stop talking nonsense with her eyes, "Is the girl that Totsuka was talking about the same girl you happened to meet, really the same person?"

Bei Nuo touched his chin and said with some certainty, "It should be the same person. After all, he has short hair."

"There are many girls with short hair. Your inference is not credible." Yukinoshita said coldly, as if she had already made a conclusion.

Yuigahama also echoed: "Yes, I think so too."

Bei Nuo looked at her strangely. It was obvious that this girl's initial opinion was different from Yukinoshita's, so how come she suddenly agreed with Yukinoshita's judgment?

He had no choice but to continue analyzing, "So why did she deliberately let the coins fall out when she picked up the wallet?"

"..." Yukinoshita's brain worked rapidly, and then she responded firmly:

"Intentionally? Hikigaya-san, how do you know she did it on purpose? Do you have the ability to read minds? If not, please do not make any subjective judgments without authorization."

Bei Nuo directly stated the basis of his analysis, "Of course I don't have the ability to read minds, but I am a little confused. Since the wallet is hers, she should know what is in the wallet very well. When she picked it up, she shouldn't let the coins fall out of the wallet."

After hearing this, Yukinoshita directly changed the topic to Yuigahama.

"Yuigahama-san, you must have had a similar experience."

Yuigahama felt Yukinoshita's gaze, and she immediately searched for similar situations from her past reckless behavior, "Oh, yes, I remember one time my change was scattered all over the floor, but my wallet shouldn't be easy..."

There was a snap.

That was the sound of Yukinoshita closing the book.

"That's right." Yukinoshita brought the topic back directly, "That girl said she was a little impatient. When people are in a hurry, it's easy for them to cause accidents one after another. That girl is obviously similar to her. Maybe she has the same personality as Yuigahama."

"Yes, come with me...Xiaoxue, what are you talking about? I'm not that reckless."

"During the last Golden Week, who got ice cream on my skirt?"

"It was just an accident..."

Bei Nuo watched them go off topic and it was difficult for him to refute anything. After all, his judgment was subjective and as girls, they should be able to make more accurate judgments.

But he succeeded in livening up the atmosphere.

"You don't actually need to have a cold war." Bei Nuo said with a smile.

The two girls looked at each other, then looked away and fell silent again.

"..."

"..."

Beinuo felt a little helpless. If it was a conflict between boys, it should have gotten better after the adjustments just now.

But it doesn't seem feasible for Yukinoshita and Yuigahama.

Does it take more attempts?

Beinuo quickly searched for a new topic and soon thought of the workplace visit in the morning.

"By the way, have you thought of a goal for workplace observation?"

Yuigahama answered first, "I haven't decided yet, but I really want to go somewhere close to home."

"Well, it is indeed important to be close to home. It will be more convenient for work in the future." Bei Nuo agreed with this screening method, "But being far away also has its advantages. It can expand your range of action."

"It seems so..." Yuigahama thought.

Kitano turned his head and looked at Yukinoshita again, "Where is the president going?"

Yukinoshita did not answer immediately, but lowered her head and opened the paperback in her hand again, "Hikigaya-san, please don't keep calling me 'President'? There are not many members in the Servant Club, so there is no need to use such a formal title."

"Okay, I feel a little accustomed to it. From now on, I will still call the president by his last name... Um, Yukinoshita-san, have you thought of a goal?"

Yukinoshita said slowly: "I plan to go to the research and development institute, but this is just one of them. There are several other companies that I need to learn more about before I can make a judgment."

It can be said that she is worthy of being called Yukinoshita Yukino.

Beinuo couldn't help but admire him for having thought of it to this extent.

"The place Xiaoxue mentioned seems very impressive, but the requirements for such a place must be very high."

Bei Nuo nodded, "If you want to enter an excellent company, both performance and connections are essential."

"Yeah, speaking of grades, it seems like there's a midterm exam before the workplace observation." Yuigahama sounded a little more worried when she said this, as if exams and the like were her weaknesses.

"Why, are you afraid of failing the exam?"

Yuigahama propped up her face with her hands. "A little bit. I'm not as smart as Xiaoxue. I usually get sleepy if I look at exercises for a while."

"Exercises are meant to be done, not to be looked at," Yukinoshita corrected her.

"Yes, maybe in Yui-san's eyes, exercises are better used to help with sleep."

"Of course I know!" Yuigahama pouted and glanced at Kitano's profile again, "From Xiaobei's tone, isn't he worried about the exam?"

The results of Sobu High School will not be made public directly. Instead, the scores and grades will be sent privately to each student. Of course, students can communicate with each other, but no one will ask about Beinuo’s grades.

And his current performance has undergone a transformation.

Bei Nuo said calmly, "I'm basically in the middle of the class, so I don't have to worry about the exam."

"Eh? Middle of the pack? This feels so weird. If you're not careful, you might fail the course. Why is Xiaobei so confident?"

Yukinoshita also looked at him inexplicably, not quite believing what Bei Nuo said. After all, she felt that the other party should be a relatively smart person.

I only heard Bei Nuo say nonchalantly: "I failed the exam. If I didn't get sent to cram school for failing the exam, I would have even thought about failing all the exams. But there is no special treatment for being in the top few in the class, so an average score is enough for me."

Yukinoshita and Yuigahama were both stunned for a moment.

After the two of them thought about these words, there was a hint of surprise in the way they looked at Beinuo.

"From what you said, it seems that you can easily get first place in the class." Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes, trying to see if the other party was lying.

However, Beinuo immediately responded: "Compared to being the first in the class, being the first in the grade is more challenging and worthwhile."

As a teacher, he certainly has his own way of mastering textbook knowledge.

Moreover, after physical and mental strengthening, the knowledge points of the second year of high school are not too many for him. He has already summarized the same question types. If necessary, Beinuo can directly finish learning the content of the third year of high school in advance.

"Are you serious?" Yukinoshita's fighting spirit was triggered.

Bei Nuo smiled easily, "Just kidding, I'm just wandering around at a mid-level."

Yukinoshita didn't say anything because she found that Beinuo showed no signs of wavering. Whether it was true or not, perhaps only Beinuo himself knew.

"Great..." Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out that Xiaobei is similar to me. He really fooled me just now."

"Are you sure you are also in the middle level?" Beinuo glanced at her. This girl is really good at summarizing and has learned how to round off. She can make a 50-50 split for everyone.

"I'm just saying it. I used to work really hard, otherwise how could I have been admitted to Sobu High School." Yuigahama once again brought up her past achievements.

But the glory of the past could not make her feel at ease.

Bei Nuo naturally saw this, so he suggested: "If you are afraid of failing the course, maybe I can teach you."

"Really, Xiaobei? Then my midterm exam results will be in your hands." Yuigahama was very happy. At this time, she was already thinking about the specific question of "where to review".

Yukinoshita quickly interjected, "Yuigahama-san, am I not as strong as him?"

"Eh? Could it be that Xiaoxue is willing to teach me too?" Yuigahama blinked, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. "Then how about we hold a study session together, starting this week? Anyway, there are no club activities a week before the exam, and we have free time after school."

"I don't mind..." Yukinoshita didn't mind the study session, as long as she wasn't left alone with someone.

"How about going to PLENA's Saria?"

"I say, since Sha and Yukinoshita-san are willing to teach, then I don't actually need to go." Kitano originally wanted to ease the gap between the two.

It should be almost adjusted now...right?

"..."

"..."

Faced with Kitano's proposal, Yukinoshita and Yuigahama fell silent again.

Bei Nuo sighed, "Okay, I'll go with you. Are you satisfied now?"

"Ok!"

"call……"
