Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

After such a long time, Miura should have been mentally prepared, right?

Su Qing was walking on the way back, thinking in his mind.

Yes, this is what Su Qing just said, that there is still important stuff to do. As for the bet with Miura, he has naturally always kept it in mind. The reason why he didn't go at the first time was, on the one hand, because he was stopped by those two boys who had no sense of boundaries, and on the other hand, it was mainly to give Miura some buffer time.

After all, all he wanted was an apology, not to attack Miura or to hold on to him.

He has kept this up for many years since then...

When he arrived at the classroom, he walked straight to Miura's seat, who was also sitting there chatting with the other members of the current group as usual. After seeing Su Qing out of the corner of his eye, Miura curled his lips, but had no intention of regretting or escaping.

"You haven't forgotten the bet we made before the exam, right?"

Su Qing had a faint smile on her face, which seemed like a spring breeze to outsiders, but Sanpu felt even more irritated.

Ahhh, I'm already annoyed because I lost the bet, and now I'm chasing me with a knife!

"Of course! I'm not the kind of person who would go back on my word. You don't need to come and remind me. I've already gone to Class B and Class J to apologize to them."

Sanpu didn't look at Su Qing, but played with his nails. He seemed to be afraid that Su Qing didn't believe him, so he looked at him seriously.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the two classmates in the class. They can all testify for me. Or you can just ask them directly. Anyway, you stand up for them, so you must have a good relationship with them."

"No need. I naturally believe in Miura's character. This matter ends here. I hope we can get along well in the future."

Su Qing kept smiling. He didn't really believe in Sanpu's character. Although the pride she showed would not allow her to do such a shameful thing as breaking the agreement, which would obviously affect her reputation in the class.

But Su Qing believed that Sanpu was unwilling to be labeled as someone who could not afford to lose in front of Ye Shan.

No, in fact, Su Qing didn't believe in anything. He didn't care about these things at all. If Miura violated the agreement, he naturally had plenty of ways to make Miura fulfill the agreement, but the other party saved himself a lot of trouble by doing this.

Just delete the recording of the gambling agreement in your phone.

After Su Qing left, Sanpu curled his lips in disdain again.

"Still getting along well, damn it."

"Well, Su-san probably really thinks so. Didn't Yuigahama also say that? Su-san had no ill intentions from the beginning."

Ye Shan comforted her, saying that if possible, he did not want Yumiko and Su Qing to have too much conflict. If such a situation really happened, his intuition told him that Yumiko would never be able to beat Su Qing, even though Yumiko had a good reputation in the class and even in the grade.

Yui? That's true. After all, Yui is also his good friend, so is Su Qing concerned about this?

Yumiko fell into deep thought, but quickly put it out of her mind.

"Hayato~ Now that the exams are over, isn't it time to relax?"

"Didn't we just go to the movies over the weekend?"

"But, but, watching a movie is watching a movie. Today I want to eat that new flavor of ice cream we agreed on last time~"

"Today, it's possible."

"Ok, it's settled then!"

It’s a pity that Su Qing is not here, otherwise I would have to sigh again [Love-brained is so scary].

……

"Rejected. If you want to go, you can go on your own. As the minister, I can approve your early departure."

After school in the afternoon, in the service club, facing the invitation of Su Qing and Hikigaya, Yukinoshita rejected them somewhat indifferently.

After all, ending club activities early and going to a family restaurant to celebrate is simply too ridiculous and there is absolutely no meaning in it.

I knew this woman wouldn't agree. I really don't understand why Su Qing dragged me in to invite her.

Hikigaya had already prepared himself for rejection. It would be more accurate to say that he had never thought from the beginning that Yukinoshita would agree. In his opinion, Yukinoshita's personality was much more twisted than his... Wait, I, Hikigaya, am not twisted!

I glanced at Su Qing, then at Caijia...wait, if it was Caijia, I would have looked at her a few more times. Well, I mean just a few more times...

"Hachiman, stop staring at me like that..."

Ayaka's ears turned red at Hachiman's undisguised gaze. She gently tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered in his ear.

Hiss~ What's going on with this tingling feeling in my ears?

Caijia, don't worry about Su Qingxue! Let's go on a date by ourselves!

Oh, no, it was a dinner party to celebrate.

Hikigaya scratched his head in embarrassment, said sorry and looked away, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil.

「Actually, if Hachiman wants to look at me, you can look at me for as long as you want, but you have to find a place where there’s no one.」

Caijia's ears turned red and she stopped herself from thinking about it. The words she wanted to say could only stay on her lips.

Also, am I really qualified to say this now?

If I tell it, how will Hachiman see me...

[No, that's the only thing I don't want to happen, please]

In fact, Caijia's idea was completely unnecessary, because at this moment, Su Qing, Yui and Yukinoshita were staring at each other...

"I won't agree even if you keep looking at me like this. There's no need to celebrate or anything like that."

When Yukinoshita thought about this joint entrance examination, she felt a little upset. Of course, she was not jealous that Su Qing scored higher than her and snatched away her top spot.

She was just wondering if she had been slacking off in her studies recently.

I should find some time to relearn the knowledge I have learned in the past four years.

It is easy to acknowledge the excellence of others, but it would be embarrassing to conclude that you are also excellent because of this.

Instead, acknowledge the excellence of others, reflect on your own shortcomings and strive to catch up, and then surpass yourself.

I think this should be considered as true excellence.

Obviously, at this moment, Yukinoshita's excellence is unquestionable.

Su Qing didn't say anything, but just winked at Yui, who understood what he meant. It would be better to say that she had been suppressing her emotions for a long time.

She took a quick step forward and hugged one of Yukinoshita's arms with both hands. The weight of her whole body seemed to be on her. For a moment, the two faces were pulled very close to each other, so close that their smooth skin seemed to be close to each other.

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, let's go together~ Wouldn't it be nice for everyone in the Service Club to have a celebration dinner together?"

At this moment, Yukinoshita only felt her breathing was heavy, and even her chest was a little depressed. The feeling of oppression from her arms was too shocking. She frowned and couldn't help but wonder how Yui managed to "move forward with the burden"?

However, no matter how smart Yukinoshita is, she can't create something out of nothing, and in the end she can only attribute it to the other party's innate talent.

"Xiaoxue is amazing this time. She managed to score 980 points despite the difficulty of the test. If it weren't for Xiaoqing, it would have been you, Xiaoxue, who got first place again!"

When Yui saw that Yukinoshita didn't refuse right away, she mistakenly thought that she was hesitating and struggling. She secretly felt that Xiaoqing was right. As long as she acted coquettishly and begged Xiaoxue, she wouldn't refuse. So she held Yukinoshita's arms even tighter, and her warm breath hit Yukinoshita's delicate ears, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Turning her head slightly, she was shocked by Yui's eyes full of admiration. In an instant, her eyes seemed to turn into stars, dazzling and striking directly into her heart. The sudden light made Yukinoshita's cheeks hurt slightly.

"Okay, okay, let go first."

Yukinoshita had a headache.

"Xiaoxue, do you agree?"

Yui listened to Yukinoshita's words obediently and loosened her arms, allowing Yukinoshita to breathe a sigh of relief.

"In another fifteen minutes, if no one comes to ask for a commission, then we can go together."

Yukinoshita sighed, but ultimately she couldn't persuade Yui. It was really hard to refuse, in every sense of the word.

"Great! Xiaoxue is the best!"

This time, it was Yui's victory.

But when she finished saying this, Yui clearly noticed Su Qing's slightly smiling face. She laughed awkwardly twice and wanted to explain something. However, Yukinoshita's next sentence poured a basin of liquid nitrogen on Yui.

"Well, they said that we were celebrating together with the Service Club, but you haven't actually joined the Service Club yet."

“Eh??!! Is this true?!”

Yukinoshita's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Yui's soul.

"Well, I didn't receive any application for joining the company, and Mr. Hiratsuka didn't notify me either."

[So, you're not the type who joins a club without realizing it? ]

At this moment, Su Qing and Hachiman had surprisingly similar ideas. Even Su Qing did not expect Yui to be so stupid that she said she joined the Service Club without even handing in the application form to Yukinoshita.

No, if it's Yui, then it's absolutely true.

"I'll write the application for joining the company, I'll write it right away! I can write as many copies as you want me to write!"

Yui raised her hands anxiously and jumped several times. It was obvious that the child was really anxious.

……

Three minutes later, after taking a look at it, Yukinoshita put away the application form that Yui had just written. This thing was just a formality. What's more, she actually had no objection to getting along with Yui.

Well... I just don't resist a little bit. It would be better if the other person could change the bad habit of rubbing against me from time to time.

As Yukinoshita thought about this, she couldn't help but look at Yui again. She found that after she knew that she had accepted her application and had truly become a member of the Service Club, she was extremely excited.

Never mind, this is actually pretty good...

At this time in the Service Club, Hachiman and Ayaka were still in the state of "you look at the floor on the left while I look at the floor on the right" because of what happened just now. Yui hugged Yukinoshita again to celebrate her joining the Service Club. Only Su Qing sat in the middle, silently without saying a word, just watching them silently with a smile on his face.

"You are Totsuka Ayaka, right? Are you coming too?"

Yukinoshita saw that the atmosphere between Hikigaya and Ayaka was obviously not right, and asked while feeling puzzled.

"Hello, I'm Totsuka Ayaka, if, if it's possible, I'd like to come with you, please!"

Although Totsuka didn't know why Yukinoshita knew her name, now was not the time to focus on that. If Yukinoshita didn't agree to let her go, then she couldn't be with Hachiman, and that was something Ayaka couldn't accept.

But after all, this was originally a gathering of someone else's club, at least that's how Ayaka saw it. Now all she could hope was that Yukinoshita wouldn't refuse.

For a moment, Caijia's heart beat faster.

At the same time, the most nervous person was actually Hachiman.

Agree, agree quickly. If Caijia doesn't go, I won't be happy no matter how much money I cheat Su Qing out of. Please agree!

Although he knew that speaking up would have no effect, Hachiman still wanted to make a final effort. Fortunately, Yui quickly spoke up for Ayaka.

"Xiaoxue..."

She hadn't finished her words yet, but how could Yukinoshita not understand what Yui meant?

"Then let's go together." Yukinoshita hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and agreed.

At this point, the first gathering of the Service Club + Ayaka was finalized!

Fifteen minutes later, as expected, no one came to request a commission.

Everyone left the service club as agreed, planning to go to a well-reputed family restaurant not far away. Although Yukinoshita was responsible for locking the door, so she was the last one to come out, she walked very fast, so she soon reached the front.

For some reason, Su Qing and Yui slowed down and walked quietly at the end.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Su Qing was puzzled.

"Well... a little bit. Xiaoqing, please squat down a little. You are too tall."

"Is this height okay? If so, please tell me."

Not knowing what the other party was up to, Su Qing did not refuse. He squatted down a little so that he and Yui were at the same height, and asked.

"Well, that's enough..."

After Su Qing heard this, he patiently waited for Yui's next words. However, the next moment, a warm breath hit his ears, making him feel numb and tingling. He couldn't describe the feeling.

But what Yui said next was like the drizzle in spring, and every word penetrated into Su Qing's ears delicately. Su Qing felt as if there were ants crawling in his ears, itchy, and seemed a little comfortable.

"Although Xiaoxue is also the best, but, but, but Xiaoqing, your best has always been number one!"

Yui stumbled for several times before she mustered up the courage to finish the last sentence in one breath. After she finished, she quickly took a few steps away from Su Qing.

"So, I didn't lie!"

"I, I'm going to look for Xiaoxue first! Xiaoqing, you should follow me quickly!"

Afterwards, all that remained in Su Qing's sight was the girl's graceful back that was gradually moving away, and a hint of blush faintly visible between her silky peach-pink hair. It was an imperceptible blush of shyness on the girl's cheeks, like a newly blooming petal in the morning light, delicate and moving, silently telling the girl's inner thoughts.

Su Qing stood there in a daze for a long while, until there was no one in his sight anymore. The gentleness in his eyes also disappeared, as if it was kept in the deepest part of his heart.

"Let's go."

Su Qing seemed to be talking to someone, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Well, who knows.
